Quotes

Virgil: "You know that's not why we do with this, Alan. Dad always said, International Rescue wasn't about fame or recognition, it's about rescuing people."
Alan: "Yes, and today, we happen to be rescuing a really famous person on a live vlog in front of 21 million people and I plan to be there."
Virgil: "If you're going to be appearing in front of millions of people, you better do it in style."

Alan: "21 million people watching The Bear's vlog and I'm stuck down on a hole in the ground."
Virgil: "Alan, why do you want to be in this vlog so much?"
Alan: "Because it's cool."
Virgil: "And since when did you care about being cool?"
Alan: "Since ever?"

Alan: "Brandon Berrenger thinks I'm cool. Imagine that."

"All eyes on you, Bear."

"Okay, time to catch up on some vids..."

"This is Brandon 'The Bear' Berrenger coming to you from right in front of a totally massive avalanche!"

"Busted!"

"It's not just an excuse to get out of doing chores?"

"It's the Bear, Grandma, he's in serious trouble."

"Hurry up, Virg, I gotta get down there before Scott rescues the Bear!"

"Sherpa Pod is go"

Thunderbird 2 launches a vibration sensor

"Hey Brandon, which way is... up?"

"Scotty, am I glad to see you."

"Hello again, Brandon."

"Oh no, where's Goose?"

"We're running out of options..."

"Let's see you get away from me now!"

"Should I, like, strap on a jetpack or something?"

"Made it!"

"...I meant on to the rope?"

"I don't think it's the end!"

"Massive shoutout to my friends, International Rescue."

"Stay out of danger."

"Don't forget to brush your teeth."

"And always be extreme!"

Trivia

• The pod is green in this episode, like in Path of Destruction but unlike the ones in SOS Part 2 (which were yellow).
• The snowy mountain, where the danger zone is located in this episode, has exactly the same outline of the original Tracy Island from the classic series.
