Episode Quotes
 
Dick: Sally, I want you to observe her; find out what women on this planet do.
Sally: Why can't Harry do it?
Dick: Because you're the woman.
Sally: That brings up a very good question: why am I the woman?
Dick: Because you lost...
 
Tommy: Why are you talking to me like I'm a child?
Dick: You are a child!
Tommy: I'm older than you.
Dick: Well, now I'm bigger. On this planet size matters.
 
Nina: Is your wife out of town?
Dick: Er, Mrs. Solomon is no longer with us. She... er, burnt up on re-entry.
Nina: I had a boyfriend who used to burn up on re-entry. He walks with a limp now!
 
Mary: For future reference I have a red Volvo.
Dick: Please, Dr. Albright, we barely know each other.
 
Mary: What is my thesis doing out of my desk?
Dick: Oh, I took it out.
Mary: My desk was locked.
Dick: Which make it very difficult to open. You might wanna make a note of that.
 
Mrs. Sumner: Dr. Solomon, how nice to see you.
Dick: Good evening, Mrs. Sumner.
Mrs. Sumner: Won't you come in?
Sally: If you'll back up...
 
Dick: I wanna try again. I want very much to feel. And I want even more to be felt. And I mean that from the heart of my bottom.
Mary: Well, yours up.
 
Dick: I think we underestimated the life on this planet. The people have so much courage. Here they are hurling through space on a malting rock on at 67000 miles an hour and the only thing that keeps them from flying out of their shoes is their misplaced faith in gravity.
