Mike Scarlatti : No, no, boss. There's no time.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Spike... Spike...
Mike Scarlatti : I'm coming back to the truck, okay? We're going to need something flat, like... like a shield. Somebody grab a shield.

Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth : He's made up his mind.
Jules Callaghan : He's emotional. He's panicking. He is not thinking straight.

Lewis Young : [on radio] Guys.
Mike Scarlatti : What is it? Lou?

Mike Scarlatti : Coming out there, Lou.
Lewis Young : No, you can't have two men downrange, Spike.
Mike Scarlatti : [starts walking towards Lewis] Oh, what's our fifth rule, Lou? Fifth rule is break the rules when you have to.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : [to Spike] He's not wrong.
Mike Scarlatti : [to Parker] Job's about what? Yeah. Saving lives.

Mike Scarlatti : You got the pictures?
Lewis 'Lou' Young : Yeah.

Lewis 'Lou' Young : [to computer in command truck] 11:43 am, bomb call, robot sending out signal blocking remote detonation.
Mike Scarlatti : [over headset] Sending in Babycakes.
Jules Callaghan : Assuming the device is triggered by a timer boss we've got twenty-five minutes until detonation.
Mike Scarlatti : That's also assuming our guy is any good at setting timers.
Lewis 'Lou' Young : And that he plans on sticking to the schedule. Spike, I'm gonna come out there and give you a hand.
Mike Scarlatti : Forget it. Rule number one of diffusion?
Lewis 'Lou' Young : Don't blow stuff up?
Mike Scarlatti : [Chuckles] Never more than one man down range. You know that.
-
Sgt. Gregory Parker : [Enters command truck] Okay Spike, read me the tea leaves.
Mike Scarlatti : [Looking at x-ray image of bomb] Okay, you see that shadow top left? That's looking like a digital clock so it is set to trigger by timer.
Ed Lane : Lets set up transport and move this bomb off site, we got twenty-one minutes.
Mike Scarlatti : Except you see those two shadows bottom left? Those are mercury switches.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Motion sensitive.
Mike Scarlatti : Motion very sensitive, can't move it. Gonna take human hands not to set it off. I'm going in.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Whoa whoa whoa whoa, Spike... okay, okay.
Mike Scarlatti : Copy that.
-
Mike Scarlatti : [Over headset] Lou you feel that trigger under your foot?
Lewis Young : Yeah.
Mike Scarlatti : Okay. What does it feel like, flat, a spike, or a bunch of spikes?
Lewis Young : It's a bunch of spikes.
Mike Scarlatti : Gotcha.
Ed Lane : What are you doin'?
Mike Scarlatti : These mines are plastic, a metal detector won't work. I'm gonna use a Ground Penetrating Radar.
Sam Braddock : Spike GPR is not gonna...
Mike Scarlatti : [Annoyed] You got something better in your backpack?
-
Ed Lane : [Over headset as Spike is trying to save Lou from landmine] Spike what do you see?
Sam Braddock : What do we got Spike?
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Spike?
Mike Scarlatti : It's a bounding mine. It's a CR-38.
Lewis Young : I think you should just get outta here Spike.
Mike Scarlatti : Doesn't change a thing man, not a single thing.
Ed Lane : Spike we gotta strategize here.
Mike Scarlatti : Nothin' to strategize, I'm gonna diffuse the landmine and Lou's gonna walk away.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Diffuse it, how?
Mike Scarlatti : I'm gonna excavate around the mine and then I'm gonna render it safe.
Lewis Young : Spike?
Mike Scarlatti : Shut up. I'm gettin' you outta here, we're all goin' home today.

Lewis Young : [on radio from first bomb site] Ion scanner's identified the explosive. It's TNT.
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Can we trace it?
Mike Scarlatti : Yup. The residue - it has tracer elements embedded into it. The lab can trace it right to the manufacturer, right down to where the shipment was delivered, and from there...
Sgt. Gregory Parker : Okay, you had me at "yup." Let's do it.

Sam Braddock : Spike, good news. Got schematics for all three bombs including one with three batteries.
Mike Scarlatti : Samtastic!
