#1 Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Colonel, that Coca-Cola machine, I want you to shoot the lock off it. There may be some change in there.

Col. "Bat" Guano: That's private property.

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Colonel, can you possibly imagine what is going to happen to you, your frame outlook way of life on everything, when they learn that you have obstructed a telephone call to the President of the United States? Can you imagine? Shoot it off! Shoot, with the gun! That's what the bullets are for, you twit!

Col. "Bat" Guano: Ok, I'm gonna git yer money fer you. But if you don't get the President of the United States on that phone, you know what's gonna happen to you?

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake; What?!!?

Col. "Bat" Guano: You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company.
