- Commandante Juan Acero: The Friends of Religion. Have you ever noticed, Ortiz, how American intelligence gravitates toward religious covers? It stems from the American belief that God is one of them. Therefore, they feel no compunction about using him.

- Paris: That was a beautiful crash you let Ortiz rig.
- Barney Collier: Ortiz had plenty of time. He just muffed it. I had to redo the job myself or the copter never would have gotten off the ground.
- Commandante Juan Acero: Martillo! We've discussed it many times. I thought you understood. We are not to martyr the priest.
- Major Carlos Martillo: The priest is going to commit suicide. We will be blameless.
- Commandante Juan Acero: Oh, I see. The priest. A Catholic priest, to whom suicide is a guarantee to hell, will kill himself in our jail cell, under our guard, and we will be blameless, huh? Such brilliance, such subtlety. Martillo, you are a credit to the revolution. You are also a fool.
- Paris: Commandante, once you were a true revolutionary, but your very success destroyed you. It made you sick with pride and arrogance. I shall report to the SMV we have no further use for you. Martillo is in charge.

- Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Jim. Until recently, Father Paolo Dominguin has led a democratic revolution against the cruel dictatorship that rules his country. Now, our far Eastern enemies are taking over Father Dominguin's movement. Their agents are Carlos Martillo, the local insurgent, and the legendary international revolutionary Juan Acero. They're holding Father Dominguin prisoner in the mountain village of Lagonas and Acero plans to murder him as soon as he can find a way to do so without arousing the hatred of the local population. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to rescue Dominguin and restore his control of the revolution. As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.
