Robert Conrad: Col. Joe Knox

Quotes 

• Frankie Tyrone : [upset at being disciplined]  I'll tell you what my problem is: my problem is you. And everybody like you. Tellin' me when to get up, when to eat, when to sleep. You know what I want? I want control, man. For once in my life, I want control!

  Col. Joe Knox : Well, why didn't you say so?

• Col. Joe Knox : [to Tyrone, after putting a light plane on autopilot]  Put your hand on the yoke.

  Frankie Tyrone : Huh?

  Col. Joe Knox : Go ahead.

  [Tyrone does so] 

  Col. Joe Knox : Great job.

  [Indicates button on yoke handle] 

  Col. Joe Knox : Now, press that button.

  Frankie Tyrone : [He does so]  What does that do?

  Col. Joe Knox : That releases the autopilot.

  Frankie Tyrone : [Slowly dawning on him]  Hey, what're you doing, man?

  Col. Joe Knox : You said you wanted control... you've got control.

  Frankie Tyrone : [Now in an uncontrolled dive]  Noooooooooooooooooooo!

• [last lines] 

  Col. Joe Knox : What do you say we give 'em a little surprise of our own... and show up on Monday morning?
