Quotes
-
Rick Hunter : I used to be a junior nature scout. I'll get us out of here all right.
Lynn Minmei : Well, I bet you didn't get any merit badges for path-finding, did you?
Rick Hunter : Now stop worrying, I promise you I'll find a way to get outta here! Even though that *was* a badge I didn't get.
Lynn Minmei : I knew it!
[giggling]
Rick Hunter : Hey, what's so funny? I was sick the day they were testing! At least *I* know what a compass looks like.

Rick Hunter : Are -- are you going to sleep? Wake up! You can't sleep like this. You'll get a stiff neck.
[He holds out his hand to wake Minmei up, but before he can grab her shoulder, a mouse jumps on her, startling her]
Rick Hunter : Uh, umm, uh...
Lynn Minmei : Hmm... maybe I'd better move away. You stay here and I'll sleep over there.
Rick Hunter : Hey, it was a mouse!
Lynn Minmei : [unconvinced] Mmm-hmm.
[She discovers the mouse and runs back to Rick]
Lynn Minmei : There's a mouse!
Rick Hunter : You don't say. I seem to recall mentioning something about a mouse, but you didn't believe me.
Lynn Minmei : I'm really sorry, Rick. From now on I promise I'll listen to you.
Rick Hunter : In that case, fair lady, I'll protect you from those vicious creatures.

Lynn Minmei : Oh, Rick, why doesn't someone come and find us? I've got to get home!
Rick Hunter : Uh, but you will. I promised you.
Lynn Minmei : I'm just so scared.
Rick Hunter : I know. So am I. Come on, I'm telling you we're gonna get out of here. There's got to be a way! We can't give up! We've gotta keep trying! I've never been a quitter, and you shouldn't be one either!
Lynn Minmei : Stop it! That's all just silly talk. You know what's really going to happen. We're never going to get out of here! There's no chance!
[sobbing]
Rick Hunter : Minmei, it's not silly talk. I really mean it! We can get out of here if we don't give up. You mustn't give up. I'm doing my best. I'm sorry.
Lynn Minmei : No, Rick. I'm the one that should apologize. It's just... well...
[sniffling]
Lynn Minmei : Oh, Rick!
Rick Hunter : Come on. It'll be all right.
Lynn Minmei : [sobbing] Rick, I've been so stupid!
Rick Hunter : That's not true.
Lynn Minmei : Kiss me, Rick.
Rick Hunter : If you want.

Lynn Minmei : Why are you sitting there with such a sad look on your face, Rick? You caught a fish in outer space. You were wonderful out there!
Rick Hunter : Thanks, but that little fishing trip ruined our chance to escape. My suit got ripped when our dinner fell on me as I was trying to get it back in through the airlock. Now that I can't go out with this suit, I don't know what we're gonna do.
Lynn Minmei : Maybe we can cut a hole in the roof and then climb right up.
Rick Hunter : I've already thought about that. I took some tools and climbed up there yesterday, but the ceiling's too thick... I just couldn't get through.
Lynn Minmei : What about an explosion?
Rick Hunter : Huh. What would we explode? We've used up nearly all our rocket fuel.
Lynn Minmei : How much?
Rick Hunter : Look.
[points to the cooking fire]
Rick Hunter : That's all we have left.
Lynn Minmei : Oh.
