• Matt Anderson : We're the people that deal with this sort of thing and we're gonna need your help.

  Officer Sam Leonard : I'm just a sonar officer.

  Matt Anderson : Sam, your senior officer is disabled. That makes you the ranking officer. Okay, the first thing we need to do is restore power. Now, I need the ship's wiring plan, okay?... Captain.

• Abby Maitland : Let me talk to Connor.

  Matt Anderson : I don't think we can risk that.

  Abby Maitland : But if he knew Helen was in any way involved with Philip, he'd have nothing more to do with him.

  Matt Anderson : You're letting your emotions cloud your judgement.

  Abby Maitland : Oh, what, like you did with Emily?

• Connor Temple : This is brilliant. It's kind of like we're all camping out.

  Matt Anderson : I thought you two would have had enough camping in your year in the Cretaceous.

  Connor Temple : Does anybody want to hear a ghost story?

  [Abby and Matt star at him] 

  Connor Temple : No? What? It's not like we've got anything to do until we get to the anomaly. Fine.

• Matt Anderson : There's no power or steering.

  Abby Maitland : Well, unless everyone wants to get out and swim we better think of something fast.

• Officer Sam Leonard : [after going through the anomaly]  Where in the hell are we? What just happened?

  Matt Anderson : Just calm down officer okay?

  Officer Sam Leonard : The Jurassic era, that was like thousands of years ago.

  Connor Temple : Well 200, 244 million years ago if you're going to be...

  [Matt gives him a look] 

  Connor Temple : What I'm just telling him.

• Captain Marcus Yates : Whatever you are here to do has been classified top secret and I'm only permitted a skeleton crew.

  Matt Anderson : Sorry about that, Captain, you just get us to our station and we'll do our bit.

  Captain Marcus Yates : I've no engineers, no weapons operators and no kitchen staff. So "your bit" may well involve a mop and bucket in the galley.

• Matt Anderson : Connor, have you found that final box yet?

  Connor Temple : Well, I'm definitely in the right place. But it looks like someone's relocated the junction box without updating the schematic, which is useful.

  Matt Anderson : Well hurry up, without power we can't get back through the anomaly.

  Connor Temple : Really, oh. 'Cause there was I thinking we could all just stick our arms out the portholes and paddle our way back to the 21st century.
