Quotes[]
- Zachary Smith: If it's natives you're after, there's a whole tribe of them right down there in the valley. Eh, the natives here are called "Robinsons." I could show you the way.
....
- The Robot: I determine an alien presence.
- Maureen Robinson: Alien? You mean from this planet?
- The Robot: On this planet, WE are the aliens.
- Maureen Robinson: Touché.
....
- Zachary Smith: Don't touch that!
- Will Robinson: Wha...!
- Zachary Smith: That stuff would have taken the hide off you quicker than a peach in boiling oil.
- Will Robinson: But I've seen Mom use the same kind of water to cook in.
- Zachary Smith: Dear boy, it may look the same but chemically it's no closer to water than chalk is to cheese.
- Will Robinson: You know what I think? I think you're just fooling me. I don't think there's any danger to me OR to my folks. I think you just took me away from them to get even or to force 'em to take you back - or I don't KNOW what!
- Zachary Smith: All right. If you think I'm a humbug, go right ahead and put your hand in the water. Go on. You shouldn't be afraid to put your hand in what seems to be clear, HARMLESS drinking water. Go on. Well?
