Alan Tracy Quotes in Thunderbirds (2004)

Alan Tracy: So, do you still think that science can explain everything?

Fermat: Not girls.

Alan Tracy: Keep backing up... I've got a plan.

Alan Tracy: [Alan pulls out a rock catapult, aims it at The Hood and misses]

Tintin: That's your plan?

The Hood: It's not me you're angry at, Alan.

Alan Tracy: It's not you I'm aiming at.

Alan Tracy: [He shoots again hitting the console behind the Hood. The floor beneath Alan, TinTin and Fermat collapses]

Alan Tracy, Tintin, Fermat: Ahhhhhh

The Hood: Get Them!

Alan Tracy: Hey, Dad. That stuff the Hood said, about you leaving him to die. He was lying, right?

Jeff Tracy: No. See, you can't save everyone, Alan. It doesn't matter how hard you try or how brave you are. It doesn't even matter if it's someone you love, someone you'd give your life in a second to save. You just can't save everyone.

Alan Tracy: What was Mom like?

Jeff Tracy: She was a lot like you.

Alan Tracy: AAAAHHHHHH!

Tintin: gee Alan... I never figured you for a crybaby

Alan Tracy: I'm gonna kill you

Fermat: What did he say?

Tintin: I think it some sort of apology...

Tintin: [twirls around in her new dress] So, what do you think?

Alan Tracy: [watching Fermat after seeing him swim] He's getting there.

[looks at Tintin]

Alan Tracy: Whoa, Tintin! You're just really... um... blossoming!

Tintin: [disgusted and shocked at the same time] Eww! Did you say "blossoming"?

Alan Tracy: Say, Tin-Tin, why don't we go off to the mainland tonight? Just the two of us?

Tin-Tin: That would be lovely, Alan. I'll wear my new dress.

Jeff Tracy: [alarmed] What goes on around here? Have you all gone crazy? This is International Rescue, remember? You can't leave the base unmanned.

[Jeff turns to Tin-Tin]

Jeff Tracy: Sorry, Tin-Tin.

Tin-Tin: [disappointed] That's OK, Mr Tracy, I understand.

Alan Tracy: [annoyed] Well I don't. I'm going to bed.

Tin-Tin: But won't you have some coffee, Alan?

Alan Tracy: [heading for his room] No thanks! It keeps me awake!

Lady Penelope: Mind the gap, Alan.

Lady Penelope: [echo] Mind the gap, Alan. Mind the gap, Alan.

Alan Tracy: [worried] I can't possibly make it!

Lady Penelope: [slowly] What's the matter, Alan? What's the matter, Alan. Don't tell me you're afraid.

Alan Tracy: I am not afraid.

Lady Penelope: A brave astronaut like you, Alan - afraid.

Alan Tracy: I am not afraid!

[Alan jumps off but misses FAB 1, falling to Earth while Penelope laughs]

Alan Tracy: [answering his watch] Yes, Penelope?

Lady Penelope: I've just had some information from Parker, Alan. I am a little uneasy. Tell me, what do you think of Captain Foster?

Alan Tracy: I don't go for him, Penelope. He's a little too smooth for my liking.

Lady Penelope: Tell me, Alan, has he been questioning you about International Rescue?

Alan Tracy: Well, as a matter of fact, he *has*. Not directly, mind you, but the conversation always seems to lead that way.

Lady Penelope: I think we'll have to go into this situation a little more closely. I don't like the sound of it.

[thunderstorm is picking up outside]

Lady Penelope: The storm seems to be getting worse.

Alan Tracy: I think you'd better come in here. We need to discuss this right away.

[the ship rocks and a lamp falls off a side table, revealling a bug device]

Lady Penelope: [realising she is being listened to] Oh well, um, perhaps we *are* allowing our imaginations to run away with us. After all, everyone's interested in International Rescue. It's only natural they should ask questions.

Alan Tracy: [suspicious of Lady Penelope's change in attitude] Oh. So you don't think there's anything to worry about, Penelope?

Lady Penelope: No. After all, they have all been screened. They're carefully selected men.

Captain Foster (II): [listening to Lady Penelope's conversation] That was a close one. Put on the edited tape.

Steward Hogarth (II): Right.

Captain Foster (II): One thing's for sure - we've got to play this really cool from now on. Lady Penelope, I underestimated you.
