- Gunther Schell: What time is it?
- First Officer: 25 to 3:00. But what do you care for the next 30 years or so?
- Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Mr. Phelps. Yesterday, a gang specializing in smuggling criminals out of the country engineered the escape of this man, Gunther Schell, the brains behind the Syndicate's illegal money operations. Conventional law enforcement agencies are unable to locate either Schell or the millions in Syndicate gambling profits he concealed before his arrest. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to recapture Schell and recover that money. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.
