Quotes 

• Peter Kirby : [Wickwire has poisoned their drinks]  I told you not to trust him! I TOLD YOU!

  Meyers : We meant you no harm.

  Wickwire : I realize that. And I'm sorry, truly, I am.

  Captain James Webber : The antidote! Give us the antidote.

  Wickwire : There is no antidote, captain. Even now, the eternifying fluid in coursing through your veins. But... it won't be painful, I assure you.

  Meyers : But why? Why us?

  Wickwire : Because you are here, and you are men. And while there are men, there can be no peace.

• Meyers : This was the way it was on Earth. Not so very long ago. My great-grandfather showed me pictures of it. Quiet and peaceful.

  Peter Kirby : You mean you like it here?

  Meyers : I would if it were real. If I could be sure it wasn't all going to vanish in a puff of pink smoke.

  Peter Kirby : [dings the bell of an ice cream cart]  Well, as for me, it's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live here.

  Captain James Webber : Well, like it or not, this is home from now on.

  [they continue walking until they come up to a house] 

  Meyers : Charming. Lovely, isn't it?

  Captain James Webber : If you want it, it's yours.

  Meyers : Yes, that's true, isn't it?
