• Klaatu : I'm worried about Gort. I'm afraid of what he might do if anything should happen to me.

  Helen : Gort? But he's a robot. Without you, what could he do?

  Klaatu : There's no limit to what he could do. He could destroy the Earth.

• Helen : It isn't just you and Mr. Carpenter. The rest of the world is involved?

  Tom : I don't care about the rest of the world.

  Helen : I feel different right now.

  Helen : But... how long?

  Klaatu : You mean how long will I live? That no one can tell.
