• Dr. Benton C. Quest : Let me have your flashlight. I wanna signal the boat.

  Hadji : [at the boat]  What is he saying, Jonny?

  Jonny Quest : He wants to know if we're all right.

  Skipper : I'll answer him, son.

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : [on the plateau]  What's the answer?

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : "Everything a-okay but..."

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : But what?

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : Yes, a new metal, and absolutely essential to the space program.

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : But where does it come from?

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : Right around here somewhere. Take a look. There are many trinoxite mines in the world but none half as pure as this sample essays.
