• Gene : Pipe down! We've got to stick to the commander.

  Adam Quark : Thank you Gene, I appreciate that.

  Gene : Yeah, at least until we get you back to Perma One for your court martial.

• Adam Quark : This is just a thought, but could it be possible that passing through that black hole in any way caused this to happen?

  Ficus : I cannot be sure for certain, but in my personal opinion I am certain that I am not sure.

  Adam Quark : What does that mean? Can't you just say yes or no?

  Ficus : Yes.

  Adam Quark : [yelling]  Yes what?

  Ficus : Yes, I can say yes or no.

• Otto Palindrome : Do you know what's at stake here?

  Adam Quark : Yes! My life!

  Otto Palindrome : Something more important. My job.

• Adam Quark : You see Ficus, humans sometimes lie in order to protect feelings.

  Ficus : That's true commander, but protected feelings are false feelings.

  Adam Quark : That's true Ficus, but to humans, false feelings feel good.
