Quotes 

• Roberta : Do you read a lot, Fritz?

  Ernst : Who, him? He practically doesn't ever read at all!

  Fritz : Never really needed to. Sooner or later, Ernst tells me everything he knows.

• Roberta : Funny, isn't it, how you can change your mind about what's important? What it is you really want. Take your parents. All of this time they've been wanting to get to New Guinea. And now when they really have their chance, they find out everything they want is right here.

  Fritz Robinson : You mean they're not going?

  Roberta : [shakes her head no]  I can understand how they feel.

  Fritz Robinson : I do too.

  Roberta : Two people, if they have each other, what more could they want?

• Roberta : Do you like the sea, Fritz?

  Fritz : I like things you can depend on. The sea, you can never be sure of it.

  Roberta : Well, that's the fun of it. Not being sure of things.

• [during the fight between the Robinsons and the pirates, the pirate chief raises a white flag] 

  Kuala - Pirate Chief : [calling up to the Robinsons]  Kuala make talk! You hear?

  Father : [calling back down]  We hear you!

  Kuala - Pirate Chief : [referring to Roberta aka Bertie]  You take boy belong Kuala. Give us boy, no more fight. You hear?

  Father : You want the boy? You come and get him. We're ready for you, and you can put away your white flag.

  Roberta : Maybe it would be better to agree.

  Father : Don't worry. He wouldn't bargain with us if he thought he could beat us.

  Kuala - Pirate Chief : Send the boy down the hill! Kuala take boy. Get plenty money. Nobody hurt. You hear?

  [the Robinsons stand their ground; the chief puts the flag away] 

  Kuala - Pirate Chief : You make Kuala fight long time, then you die, and Kuala take boy all the same!

  [the fight between the pirates and the Robinsons resumes]
