Speak to me only in Science Fiction

Pull up your pants, Romeo.

Don’t worry. A naked girl is not going to get out of this complex.

I’ll be in my bunk.

Happiness consists in getting enough sleep. Just that, nothing more.

Will I dream?

M-O-O-N, that spells Nebraska!

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

Something wicked this way comes…

All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde, alone, in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil.

Good men don’t need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have* so* many.

Lack of respect, wrong attitude, failure to obey authority.

That’s a big No-Can-Do.

Well, we’re going to have to figure it out. I want people in our simulators, working re-entry scenarios. I want you guys to find every engineer who designed every switch, every circuit, every transistor, and every light bulb that’s up there. Then I want you to talk to the guy in the assembly line who actually built the thing. Find out how to squeeze out every amp out of both of these goddamn machines. I want this marked all the way back to Earth with time to spare! We’ve never lost an American in space, we’re sure as hell not gonna lose one on my watch. Failure is not an option!

Woody Blake: Okay, people let’s look sharp now. We’re gonna run this simulation one more time. If we overshoot, there’s no coming back.

Phil Ohlmyer: Yeah, and drifting through eternity will ruin your whole day.

You bubble-headed booby! You realize what you’ve done?

First rule in government spending: why build one, when you can have two at twice the price? Only, this one can be kept secret. Controlled by Americans, built by the Japanese subcontractors. Who, also, happen to be recently acquired, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hadden Industries. They still want an American to go, Doctor. Wanna take a ride?

Before I can telephone you to your friend in Kansas City, Miss Lane, I have to take all the air out from in between your atoms and start you vibrating.

Why not just dig one of your tunnels in that direction?

Burt, it’s under the ground! It’s an underground monster!
