Quotes 

• Ralph Hinkley : Give me a 12-letter word describing an American firearm that sticks to a belt buckle.

• Bill Maxwell : Uh, Ralph, up and over. We'll wait here. Good luck.

  Ralph Hinkley : "Good luck"? Is that all I get?

  Bill Maxwell : And a watch.

  Ralph Hinkley : You're sending me in there, hotter than a bowl full of chili, Ralph Hinkley, the walking, talking light bulb?

• Bill Maxwell : Listen. Why don't you take the suit off?

  Pam Davidson : Well, we were thinking about that, Bill. But what if the electrical charge on Ralph was a force field or something could kill him? I mean, he could take off the suit and keel over dead.

  Bill Maxwell : Yeah. That's good thinking. I didn't think of that.

  Ralph Hinkley : Well, I hope you guys know I don't look forward to going through life as a Van De Graaff generator.

• Ralph Hinkley : You know, it's one thing to have this suit and to go through life looking like Captain Gonzo, but this thing with alarms going off and lights and wristwatches sticking to my chest... I mean, I think I'm handling it pretty good though, don't you? Huh? Huh?

  Bill Maxwell : Don't you think I am? You think I like driving around in a car that belches and toots and is driving me blind? You think I like little green guys lurking around and dead guys talking to me? No, I do not like it, but, uh, we do what we gotta.

• Pam Davidson : You know, I'm just glad we made it through the weekend. I mean, I don't mind saying this: I was scared. And now we have Ralph back, all uncharged.

  Ralph Hinkley : Well, you know, Pam, you should have tried me when I was still charged up. I might have been a very exciting guy.

  Pam Davidson : Come over here and give me a kiss. I like you just the way you are.

• Ralph Hinkley : I figure with the wheels up and me underneath it, I got a good chance of ending up like road pizza.
