[on the plan to capture the alien creature with a huge net]
Col. Robert Calder : Doc, this is like a parachute. It's got to work the first time!

Maj. Gen. A.D. McIntosh : What I have to say you will find incredible- but true. Colonel Calder here has just returned from an expedition to Venus.
Contino : To Venice?
[Turning to Charra]
Contino : Perhaps you mean Venezia?
Col. Robert Calder : [Impatiently] To Venus! The planet Venus!
-
Col. Robert Calder : Get that elephant out of there!
-
Col. Robert Calder : [Seeing the Ymir for the first time] Incredible! The creature has to be taken alive!

Marisa Leonardo : Colonel?
Col. Robert Calder : Yeah?
Marisa Leonardo : I hate to intrude on your precious private thoughts but I'd like to change the bandage on your arm.
Col. Robert Calder : Oh.
Marisa Leonardo : You're worried about what happened today. About where the creature is tonight, aren't you?
Col. Robert Calder : We'll find him. We've got to.
Marisa Leonardo : Guess I've been pretty inconsiderate and self-centered. You've got a lot on your mind.
Col. Robert Calder : If that's an apology I think it went in the wrong direction. All you've done is try to help. All I've done is snarl at you. I hope when this is all over, you'll let me try to make it up to you - over a table for two in a dark café.
Marisa Leonardo : With a candle burning on the table?
Col. Robert Calder : And a bottle of wine.
