- Launchpad McQuack: I have to climb all the way down there?
- Scrooge McDuck: [angrily] There's a quicker way down!
- Launchpad McQuack: I'm going, boss. I'm going.
- [Launchpad crashes his plane in front of Scrooge and Gyro, who take off their hats]
- Gyro Gearloose: He was not a bad guy. A bad pilot, yes, but not a bad guy.
- Scrooge McDuck: [shocked] Gyro, look!
- [Launchpad marches from the wreckage, unharmed save for slightly ruffed up jacket and the small flame on his scarf, which he blows out like a birthday candle]
- Launchpad McQuack: Big rubble? No trouble. Gyro tells me you need a pilot for an experimental plane.
- Scrooge McDuck: What I need is my head examined.
- Launchpad McQuack: Don't worry, Mr. McD. If it's got wings, I can crash it.
- Scrooge McDuck: [quite worried] I hope my medical insurance is paid up.
