- Rocky Jones: Let's take a look, huh?
- [Rocky turns on the videophone]
- Winky: Look, we've logged millions of miles this trip and that calls for time off!
- Rocky Jones: XB-2 calling Office of Space Affairs - come in, please.
- Secretary of Space Drake: Was it a rough trip?
- Rocky Jones: More or less... routine, sir.
- Winky: Ah, much more more than less less, Mr. Secretary, believe me.
- Rocky Jones: Winky, you know I've never questioned an order from Drake before, but I just can't see how it helps bringing a girl aboard on a dangerous mission like this.
- Winky: Well, she speaks the Ophesians' language, Rocky, and that's what we'll need if we make a successful landing.
- Rocky Jones: I'd rather have an extra pair of fists.
- Vena Ray: What should I do, sir?
- Rocky Jones: Return to your quarters and, ah, knit me a sweater.
- Vena Ray: Sorry, sir, I don't know how to knit, but if I did, I'd make you a muffler and maybe tie it real tight... around your neck - sir!
