Quotes 

• Adam Quark : When I was young and healthy Princess Carna almost killed me. What will she do to me in this condition?

  Ficus : Nothing. By the time we reach Princess Carna you'll be dead.

• Adam Quark : Ficus, did you understand anything Palindrome said?

  Ficus : I did have my back to the screen and was deeply engrossed in my calculations.

  Adam Quark : ah ha.

  Ficus : Anything I might say would be purely conjecture.

  Adam Quark : Maybe I ought to be sitting down for this.

  Ficus : You are sitting down, sir.

  Adam Quark : I know that, I'm the commander.

• Betty , Betty : Oh Adam, you're fantastic!

  Adam Quark : That's the second time today someone told me that.

• Adam Quark : Emotionally I won't feel a thing. It's strictly a mission. And Betty, I mean that from the bottom of my heart, whatever happens between me and that princess happens for the good of the United Galaxies. Do you believe me?

  Betty , Betty : No!

  Andy the Android : Frankly, I've heard better.

  Adam Quark : Andy!

  Gene : Was a little lame, commander.

• Adam Quark : How could this happen? What's my condition, Ficus? I've got to know!

  Ficus : Sir, it would appear you are upset.

  Adam Quark : That I know! I want to know why I came out of that hatch ten years older than when I went down.

  Ficus : One explanation might be you were down there ten years.

  Adam Quark : Ficus, I was down there five hours.

  Ficus : That would rule out that theory.

• Adam Quark : Gene, it's okay. You can't catch the virus, your blood is floating into me.

  Gene : My blood is what?

  Adam Quark : Hold on, Gene, it's almost done.

  Gene : [turns into Jean]  Relax, commander. Helping others is the part of space I love.
