Quotes
- Leland Turbo: "This is agent Leland Turbo. I have a flash transmission for agent Finn McMissile. Finn, my cover's been compromised. Everything's gone pear-shaped. You won't believe what I've found out here. This is bigger than anything we've ever seen, and no one even knows it exists! Finn, I need back up, but don't call the cavalry. It could blow the operation, and be careful, it's not safe out here."
Car: "Let's go!"
Leland Turbo: Transmitting my grids now. Good luck!" - —Leland Turbo sending Finn McMissile a message (plus, his only lines in the movie).
