- Colonel Paul Ironhorse: You're just weird, Harrison.
- Harrison Blackwood: Maybe, but when I grow up I wanna be just like you.
- Harrison Blackwood: [on an alien message] Do you have any idea what it means?
- Sylvia Van Buren: It means more than beans and queens.
- Sylvia Van Buren: Harry, do you remember Clayton's study of the alien eye?
- Harrison Blackwood: Vaguely. Why?
- Sylvia Van Buren: Because the way these things see us is more like... this doohickey little Saint Nicky.
- Dr. Suzanne McCullough: Harrison, we're wasting our time.
- Harrison Blackwood: Hang in there, Suzanne.
- Dr. Suzanne McCullough: But she's mad.
- Sylvia Van Buren: Oh, yes, dear. Quite mad! And so would you be if you lived in a world all topsy turvy. I told them the aliens would be back and they didn't believe me. They said I was insane. So they hooked electrodes up to my brain 'til I couldn't even remember my name. Bzz, bzz, bzz! Rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain. This is not Spain, Harry.
- Harrison Blackwood: What are you trying to tell me, Sylvia?
- Sylvia Van Buren: This is someplace on Earth. As seen from... outer space.
- [After being locked in a cell.]
- Dr. Suzanne McCullough: Why do I get the feeling things are out of control?
- Norton Drake: Could it be the iron bars?
- [Harrison and Ironhorse are in a cell together]
- Harrison Blackwood: Didn't this start with you saying "let me do the talking?"
- Dr. Suzanne McCullough: How did a girl like me get into this mess?
- Norton Drake: I'm just a dude good with computers, you figure.
- Old Man: Anybody know you're here?
- Harrison Blackwood: Yes. Thank you.
- Old Man: I'd leave now if I were you. It's not safe here.
- Harrison Blackwood: Trust me: it's not safe out there, either.
- Old Man: Oh, hell. I forgot that.
