Dex Dearborn Quotes in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)

[after Dex unplugs the Telsa coils that previously electrocuted Dr. Kessler]

Joe 'Sky Captain' Sullivan: Is it safe?

Dex Dearborn: Well, there's only one way to find out.

[Sky Captain and Polly cross the threshold together and are relieved to be unharmed]

Dex Dearborn: I meant throw something.

Polly Perkins: A man came to see me today, a scientist. He was terrified. Said someone was coming for him. I asked him who he was so afraid of and he repeated one name: Totenkopf. He nearly went white when he said it.

Dex Dearborn: Totenkopf. Who is he?

Polly Perkins: He's the invisible man. I've been through every library record twice, looking for anything. I've called every contact I have from Paris to Bangkok. This is the only thing I could dig up. He ran some kind of secret science unit outside of Berlin before the start of World War I. Something called Unit 11. It's been more than 30 years since anyone has spoken his name. Until today.

Dex Dearborn: [walks in on Joe aiming a gun at Polly] Oh, great, we all made up!

Dex Dearborn: I thought you said this thing was big? Can I have it?

Joe 'Sky Captain' Sullivan: You find out where it came from and I'll buy you one for Christmas.

Joe 'Sky Captain' Sullivan: Come in, Dex.

Dex Dearborn: Look, whatever you do, don't shoot!

Joe 'Sky Captain' Sullivan: Er... OK!

Dex Dearborn: You shot it, didn't you?

Joe 'Sky Captain' Sullivan: Yes.
