Ray Walston: Uncle Martin

Quotes 

• Uncle Martin : [in a panic over his lost spaceship]  Well, now we know what happened. Somehow, she gave those junkmen the wrong key to the wrong garage. But which junkmen? That's the question.

  Tim O'Hara : Well, couldn't you read her mind?

  Uncle Martin : Tim, trying to read Mrs. Brown's mind is like trying to read a can of alphabet soup. All the letters are there, but they don't spell anything!

• Uncle Martin : I hope it works. Just for luck I'll spread my fingers.

  Tim O'Hara : Spread? On Earth we cross our fingers.

  Uncle Martin : Backward planet.
