Quotes

Dialogue

Paula: A flying saucer? You mean the kind from up there? Jeff: Yeah, either that or its counterpart

Dialogue

Larry: Strange. If someone had broken in, the dirt should be piled up here somewhere. It looks like it's fallen in, into the grave. Lt. Harper: Larry, you'll be out of that uniform before you know it.

Dialogue

Col. Edwards: This is the most fantastic story I've ever heard. Jeff: And every word of it's true, too. Col. Edwards: That's the fantastic part of it.

Dialogue

Col. Edwards: Why is it so important that you want to contact the governments of our earth? Eros: Because of death. Because all you of Earth are idiots. Jeff: Now you just hold on, Buster. Eros: No, you hold on. First was your firecracker, a harmless explosive. Then your hand grenade: you began to kill your own people, a few at a time. Then the bomb. Then a larger bomb: many people are killed at one time. Then your scientists stumbled upon the atom bomb, split the atom. Then the hydrogen bomb, where you actually explode the air itself. Now you can arrange the total destruction of the entire universe served by our sun: The only explosion left is the solaronite. Col. Edwards: Why, there's no such thing.

Dialogue

Jeff: So what if we do develop this solaronite bomb? We'd be even a stronger nation than now. Eros: "Stronger." You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!

Dialogue

Lt. Harper: [About Eros] He's mad. Tanna: Mad? Is it mad that you destroy other people to save yourselves? You have done this. Is it mad that one country must destroy another to save themselves? You have also done this. How then is it "mad" that one planet must destroy another who threatens the very existence-... Eros: [Shoves her roughly aside] That's enough. [To the humans] In my land, women are for advancing the race, not for fighting man's battles.
