Quotes 

• Capt. Fairbanks : I am Dr. Franz VonPaulie.

  Colonel Kane : Why do you do that to the wall?

  Capt. Fairbanks : Because I am convinced that we can walk through walls. Not only me... Anyone. Cops, People. People in Nashville. I tried to exert the full force of my mind on all the atoms of my body, so that they will mix, rearrange and fit exactly all the holes in that wall. Then I tried the laboratory method... I tried to walk through it. through the wall. Just like a few minutes ago when I took a running bash, and I failed horrible.

  [smashes wall with sledge hammer] 

  Capt. Fairbanks : I am punishing the atoms. I am making an example of them. An object lesson, a thing... So when the other atoms see what's coming, they'll let me pass through. Independent snots! Shape up or ship out!
