Dr. Iris 'Irish' Ryan: I know you think I acted like an hysterical female back at the ship, but I can assure you I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself.
Col. Thomas O'Bannion: Cowardice is the one thing we can never forgive ourselves.
CWO Sam Jacobs: If your ears start to twitch, will you let me know fast? I'll twitch with you.
Dr. Iris 'Irish' Ryan: Fantastic! All the characteristics of plant life but no chlorophyll.
CWO Sam Jacobs: So Oola ran screaming across the burning Martian sands as the monster Ongolur relentlessly pursued her, its five arms reaching hungrily for her.
Col. Thomas O'Bannion: Will you take a raincheck?
Dr. Iris 'Irish' Ryan: If it won't bounce.
Prof. Theodore Gettell: It takes a brave man to admit his fears, Sam. We're all afraid of the unknown.
Col. Thomas O'Bannion: Whadda you say we call it a day and go back to the ship?
Prof. Theodore Gettell: I agree. We've had enough excitement and swashbuckling for one day.
CWO Sam Jacobs: I'm for that. Any swash I ever had just came unbuckled.
Col. Thomas O'Bannion: See anything?
Dr. Iris 'Irish' Ryan: Nothing. Everything seems to be dead out there. It's like a nightmare of unending silence.
Col. Thomas O'Bannion: I know, we all feel it.
Dr. Iris 'Irish' Ryan: Then it isn't just me, because I'm a woman?
Col. Thomas O'Bannion: Oh-ho. Women don't have any monopoly on fear. Men are more afraid of being called cowards. Cowardice is one thing I guess we can never forgive ourselves.
CWO Sam Jacobs: All right, everybody! Come and get it! Breakfast's ready! Hot coffee, hard tack and vitamin pill.
