Quotes

Talmadge: I have to thank you, Frank.
Frank: For what?
Talmadge: For being one stubborn son of a bitch.
Frank: Just doing my job, sir, just doing my job. (edit)
Olga: Seems like you have two types of missions, Mr. Parker: those in the Sphere and those where I sneak you out of NNL. (edit)
Ballard: Knowing Frank and this project as I do . . . doo-doo happens. (edit)
Frank: Well, it's top secret, so you can't tell anyone.
Morgan: Or you'll kill me?
Frank: Or your mother'll do it first. (edit)
Frank: Yeah, a bomb, a big one! How do I know? 'Cause I'm the one that put it there! 'Cause I'm a mean, bad-ass bomber, that's why! Listen, I've been sucking in jet fumes for 17 years, you know what that does to a person? Well you're about to find out! (hangs up) That was a lot more fun then it should've been. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Since it was the Backstep that caused the plane crash in the first place, there was no need to stop the grandfather or anyone from boarding the plane the second time around. (edit)
