Dr. Benton C. Quest : Well, there she goes, headed right for the top of the Devil's Escarpment.
Jonny Quest : Devil's Escarpment?
Dr. Benton C. Quest : Yes. They call it that because there's no known way to climb it. No one has ever been up there.
Jonny Quest : You mean the balloon is lost for good?
Dr. Benton C. Quest : No, we have to get it. It would take months to replace that instrument package.

Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : How'd you get HERE?
Dr. Benton C. Quest : Oh, probably the same way you did - those amazing throwbacks, those cavemen.
Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : Maybe somebody's shooting a B-picture.

Dr. Benton C. Quest : I am Dr. Benton Quest, and this is...
Heinrich Von Duffel : Silence! I have no interest in your names. You will speak when asked and will do as you are told. Is that understood? Is that clear?
Dr. Benton C. Quest : [without fear] Perfectly.
Heinrich Von Duffel : Heh-heh-heh-heh. Very good. You are wise. Unlike you, I AM armed and will shoot instantly anyone who does not follow my orders, eh?

Dr. Benton C. Quest : What do you want with us?
Heinrich Von Duffel : Your airplane. For nineteen years I have been on this escarpment, living with these animals. Now, thanks to your plane, I shall return to civilization and live on the great wealth I have found here.
Dr. Benton C. Quest : Wealth?
Heinrich Von Duffel : Diamonds! Diamonds beyond your wildest dreams, dug out by these misshapen creatures who have no idea they are living in a diamond mine.

Dr. Benton C. Quest : What's our altitute, Race?
Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : Eight thousand.
Dr. Benton C. Quest : And we're still not level with that escarpment. It must be at least two miles high. No wonder no one's ever climbed it.
