Quotes 

• Hannibal : [hears tapping under the floor]  Sounds like Morse code.

  Face : No, probably a slow leak in the hydraulic system.

  Hannibal : It is Morse code, it's Murdock... he's saying, go to... lavatory.

  Face : I can't, I went before I left.

  Hannibal : Now who's making jokes?

• Face : [trying to get the handcuffs off to go in the restroom]  Come on, what am I going to do, flush myself down the toilet?

• Face : Where's Murdock? I had the field trip to the newspaper office all set up. I hope you didn't blow it, Amy.

  Amy Amanda Allen : Murdock wasn't even at the hospital. Fact, when I got there they were moving his things out of his room. The front desk said the administration had made a change...

  B.A. Baracus : What kind of a change can they make with a dude like that? Aside from giving him a new brain?

• Face : Oh, I think we're giving this one away Hannibal. 1% of the ransom comes to fifty grand. Our expenses have been running higher than that.

  Hannibal : Beller can't afford any more. The fuel prices whacked him hard.

  Face : Oh, so now we're in the charity business?

  Hannibal : Face, don't you remember in '69 when we had six days of R&R coming?

  Face : Yeah, we tried to get that flight out of Da Nang to Hawaii.

  Hannibal : Right, all the flights were booked. Beller Air bumped two tourists and we got a flight out. We owe 'em this one.

• Hannibal : Military history has taught us that conflict is merely the seizing of space from ones aggressor. They've got the space up there, we got the offensive posture down here.

  Face : So the two of us assume an offensive posture against six guys with guns in an airplane at 35.000 over the ocean?

  Hannibal : Well, it's the application of the theory that's interesting.

• Jackson : [Pulls a fake moustache off of Hannibal's face]  It seems you've lost some weight, Mr. Beller.

  Face : He's been sick.

  Hannibal : Yeah, a virus. Haven't been able to eat for weeks. Runny nose, infected ears. Moustache falls off.

• Face : [trying to come in for a landing with no fuel]  When we crash...

  B.A. Baracus : [panicked, clings to Hannibal and chokes him]  We gonna crash? We gonna crash?

  Hannibal : Face, get him off of me. Get him off me Face!

  [Face beats B.A. with a metal tray repeatedly] 

  B.A. Baracus : [calmer]  Sorry fellas, I lost my head for a second.

• Murdock : [Before Hannibal grabs the controls of the hijacked plane]  Are you ready, captain?

  Hannibal : I'm always ready.

  Face : What can I say? The man's on the jazz!

• Jackson : Who are you?

  Hannibal : [removing his wig]  Were a couple of ah, freelance Lone Ranger types. Beller hired us to handle you guys.

  Face : Lone Ranger types?

  Hannibal : Yeah.

  Jackson : All right. Get back to the luggage compartment and get the parachutes. We're bailing out just as soon as we're out of range of the radar. Unless you have wings, you're dead. And you and Tonto can crack your lousy jokes as you go into the ocean.

  Face : Get 'em up, Scout!

• Jackson : Did you put someone on this plane while we stopped to re-fuel? Come on, I ain't askin' you twice!

  Face : I wanted to bring my pet cat, but I didn't have a kitty carrier.

• Murdock : Face, check the fuel gauge, it should be over there on your right and say 'fuel'.

  Face : Uh... oh, uh, 60,000 pounds.

  Murdock : That's about 13 minutes.

• Murdock : Maybe they'll let me fly one of these birds now that I'm not crazy anymore.

  Face : See B.A.? Flying isn't so bad. Hello? B.A.?

  Hannibal : I love it when a plan comes together.
