Escort vehicle driver: Oh relax, what can go wrong?
Famous last words!
Escort vehicle passenger: Oh I dunno, loadsa things. He could crash, he could go over a bridge without reaching the other side, or then again, he could lose control of the vehicle by means of that ex-Spectrum agent now Mysteron agent stood in that doorway over there.

I didn’t know the Mysterons could drive! So Mysteronising Black was a good idea after all!

---

Colonel White’s favourite sayings! Analysis of the situation:
This is a red alert, not a stroll around the deck! Move!
Collect the whole range!

---

Can anyone please explain to me why on Earth that Macey guy started punching that door? What good would that do?

---

Captain Scarlet is one hell of a dangerous driver! When he drove that truck out of the life, the front end rose up! It’s no wonder the Mysterons ditched him! He’s a liability!

---

If the radios of each Spectrum agent are in their hat, why could Captain Blue hear Scarlet when he reported that he would be all right after the explosion? Was he using another of his hidden Mysteron talents? The being able to send messages without a radio thing?

---

The four Spectrum agents listen to Big Ben, counting the 13 chimes after Blue explains it.
Captain Scarlet: I’ll make that my lucky number!
Destiny Angel: Why does that not surprise me? The man with the powers of retromotabolism, the indestructible Captain Scarlet picks the unlucky number to be his lucky number!
Captain Blue: That’s Scarlet for you; everyone else’s bad luck is Scarlet’s good luck!
