Episode Quotes

Wendy Watson: I have a question. Why are you guys in wetsuits and I'm in this Honey Ryder "Thunderball" nightmare?
Guy Goddard: Honey Ryder's from "Dr. No."
Wendy Watson: Ah, you make me sick.
Wendy Watson: Every time I get into a relationship, I can always visualize how it's going to end. But with Tyler, I can't. It's totally killing me. Do you have any idea what that's like?
The Middleman: No. Sounds like something out of one of those hateful independent films. This is exactly why I stick to westerns.
Guy Goddard: Chickie-baby's never been to a supervillain island lair, has she? Sweet, when a bad man builds a home for a world-destroying ray, the first thing he buys...
The Middleman: Are an automated missile defense package...
Guy Goddard: Barrier mines...
The Middleman: Android guards who will keep protecting the island centuries after the supervillain has died...

Trivia

  • When Wendy asks to confirm that she's allowed to pick out her own uniform, the 1969 Middleman says, "You bet your sweet Brioni." Brioni is an exclusive brand of tailored men's clothing.
