- Roger T. 'Race' Bannon: Well, how can it be stopped?
- Dr. Benton C. Quest: There's only one way I can think of, Race.
- Jonny Quest: Well, how?
- Dr. Benton C. Quest: First, we have to think of a way to make it visible, then we can lay a trap with some equipment I can try to put together - but how to see it?
- Jonny Quest: Well, paint it.
- Dr. Benton C. Quest: Huh?
- Jonny Quest: Well, paint it, Dad.
- Dr. Benton C. Quest: Jonny, you may have a thought there.
- [last lines]
- Dr. Benton C. Quest: I'll make a full report on Dr. Norman's experiment when we get back.
- Roger T. 'Race' Bannon: His loss will be a serious setback in his field, won't it, Doctor?
- Dr. Benton C. Quest: Yes, but if there's any consolation, what we learn from every setback helps science to move forward.
- Dr. Isaiah Norman: Molecular energy has form. It has body. And it can be harnessed.
- [explosion]
- Dr. Isaiah Norman: What have I created? I must call for help.
- Dr. Isaiah Norman: You know of my experiments in attempting to harness energy and my theory of controlling it?
- Dr. Benton C. Quest: Yes, I do.
- Dr. Isaiah Norman: Well, I'm afraid my efforts have resulted in the creation of something too terrible to contemplate.
- Dr. Benton C. Quest: But, Isaiah...
- Dr. Isaiah Norman: No, believe me, Benton. It is monstrous beyond imagination and, what is worse, uncontrollable.
- Dr. Benton C. Quest: Dr. Norman was experimenting with energy and mass. To make it brief, it got away from him. He found he had made a mass of energy that somehow came alive. It feeds on more energy, and it lives only to feed. I'm afraid it consumed Dr. Norman before he could stop it.
- Jonny Quest: It eats people?
- Dr. Benton C. Quest: No, Jonny. It consumes them. It eats energy - sunlight, electricity, the energy in a living body - anything it can get.
- Dr. Benton C. Quest: [appraising their trap] It's got to work, after all, I'm going to be the bait.
- Jonny Quest: You the bait, Dad? I don't understand.
- Dr. Benton C. Quest: Someone has to lure that monster down here and into the cave, and that will be me.
- Hadji: What's that strange sound?
- Jonny Quest: Well, maybe it's our friend, the two-legged tornado.
- Hadji: Let's get out of here! I don't want any friends like that!
