Marty - Unexpected Connections and Self-Discovery
Marty Piletti:
And I also want you to know that I'm having a very good time with you right now and really enjoyin myself. You see, you're not such a dog as you think you are.
Clara:
I'm having a very good time too.
Marty Piletti:
So there you are. So I guess I'm not such a dog as I think I am.
Clara:
You're a very nice guy. I don't know why some girl hasn't grabbed you off long ago.
Marty Piletti:
Well, I don't know either. I think I'm a very nice guy. I also think I'm a pretty smart guy in my own way...You know how I figure. Two people get married and are gonna live together forty or fifty years, so it's gotta be more than whether they're just good-looking or not. Now you tell me you think you're not so good looking. Well, my father was a real ugly man but my mother adored him. She told me how she used to get so miserable sometimes — like everybody, you know? And, and she says my father always tried to understand. I used to see them sometimes when I was a kid sittin in the living room talkin and talkin'. And I used to adore my old man because he was always so kind. That's one of the most beautiful things I have in my life — the way my father and mother were. And my father was a real ugly man. So it doesn't matter if you look like a gorilla. You see, dogs like us, we ain't such dogs as we think we are.

The Black Hole - Discussing a risky plan for escape
Harry Booth:
If Reinhart has anti-gravity strong enough to hold us here, I figure he's got enough to pull away.
Harry Booth:
So? So why not take this ship and Reinhart back home?
Dan Holland:
That's a long shot you're talking, Harry.
Harry Booth:
Oh, come on! You've got two scientific wizards here who could figure out the computers and possibly even reprogram the robots. And the three of us can handle Reinhart and that pet monster of his. I tell ya... we could all be heroes.
Dan Holland:
We could also be dead.

The Black Hole - Betrayal and Tragedy on the Cygnus
B.O.B.:
The officer the men trusted most was Frank McCrae.
Charlie Pizer:
Kate's father.
B.O.B.:
They turned to him when Dr. Reinhardt ignored the orders to return home. They tried to take control of the Cygnus. Reinhardt called it mutiny and killed Mr. McCrae.
Dan Holland:
What became of the crew?
B.O.B.:
They were captured by the sentry robots and they're still on board.
Harry Booth:
What?!
Pizer:
Where?
B.O.B.:
In the command tower, the power center.
V.I.N.CENT.:
Robots, Mr. Pizer! Humanoid robots!
B.O.B.:
The most valuable thing in the universe, intelligent life, means nothing to Dr. Reinhardt. Without their wills, the crew became things he can command.
Holland:
That explains the funeral.
Pizer:
Right.
Holland: [to Harry Booth]
And the limping robot you spotted.
Booth: [to B.O.B.]
Do you mean to tell me that there's actually a human body under that clothing?
B.O.B.:
Exactly, Mr. Booth.
Holland:
We can't just take off and leave these poor devils behind. Harry, it looks like we're gonna have to try your plan.
Booth:
What?! And end up just like the rest of the crew?! Well, if they couldn't pull it off, what chance do we have?
B.O.B.: [to Dan Holland]
Captain, the damage is irreversible. Death is their only release.
Booth:
That's right! For God's sakes, Dan, we can't take on that mechanical army!
V.I.N.CENT.:
Captain, I was forced to destroy two sentry robots. The others are searching now. If they're found...!
Holland: [to Charlie Pizer]
Gotcha, V.I.N.CENT.. Charlie, start the countdown.
Pizer:
Right!
Holland:
V.I.N.CENT., tell Kate I want her and Alex back here on the double!

In... through... and beyond.
