Glenn Ross: You know when a rocket is ready, but you don't know when a man is ready, Kane isn't.
Jason Webb: I know more about human nature than anyone else here at EuroSEC. That's why I am in this office.

Jason Webb: I've been thinking John, about the second astronaut to accompany Ross.
John Kane: Well Bogemann is the obvious choice, or Mitchell.
Jason Webb: If we want just an astronaut, I agree.
John Kane: But?
Jason Webb: It occurs to me, that we need someone more flexible.
John Kane: Well they're trained to be-
Jason Webb: I mean, in terms of knowledge. Someone who could take full advantage of any findings on the new planet, no matter how bizarre or unusual they happen to be.
John Kane: You mean an astrophysicist. (a beat) Me?
Jason Webb: The idea doesn't appeal to you?
John Kane: You must be joking!
Jason Webb: It'll grow on you.


--Patrick Wymark (as ) in Journey to the Far Side of the Sun

Jason Webb: We discover a NEW planet! In OUR OWN solar system! Military and scientific implications BEYOND comprehension! We ask our *friends*, for a *few* dollars, and it's "No Go!".
David Poulson: One *billion* dollars, Jason.
Jason Webb: Cheap at TWICE the price!


--Patrick Wymark (as ) in Journey to the Far Side of the Sun

Jason Webb: You are going to sit there and watch me take a man for one billion dollars.
John Kane: The words of an egotistical megalomaniac.
Jason Webb: Remind me to be as charitable to you when one of your rockets blows up on the pad.
