- Simon: Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet your captain, Captain Oveur.
- Capt. Oveur: Gentlemen, welcome aboard.
- Simon: Captain, your navigator, Mr. Unger, and your first officer, Mr. Dunn.
- Capt. Oveur: Unger.
- Unger: Oveur.
- Dunn: Oveur.
- Capt. Oveur: Dunn. Gentlemen, let's get to work.
- Simon: Unger, didn't you serve under Oveur in the Air Force?
- Unger: Not directly. Technically, Dunn was under Oveur and I was under Dunn.
- Dunn: Yep.
- Simon: So, Dunn, you were under Oveur and over Unger.
- Unger: Yep.
- Capt. Oveur: That's right. Dunn was over Unger and I was over Dunn.
- Unger: So, you see, both Dunn and I were under Oveur, even though I was under Dunn.
- Capt. Oveur: Dunn was over Unger, and I was over Dunn.
- Simon: Just a few more hours and change 'til liftoff.
- Elaine Dickinson: I'm very excited, Simon.
- Simon: Guess this is a first for you, eh kid?
- Elaine Dickinson: No, I've been excited before.
- Jimmy: Can I ask you a question?
- Striker: What is it?
- Jimmy: It's an interrogative statement, used to test knowledge. But that's not important now, mister. Is my dog Scraps, is gonna make it through okay? I'm scared mister, somebody has to do something.
- Striker: Scraps, is going to be fine son. You'll both, be just fine.
- [Striker, puts Jimmy's face in the icing of the cake]
- Simon: Striker, listen to me. I don't want you to do this. They forced me to cut corners...
- Striker: Get outta my way!
- Simon: Help me, Striker for Christ -
- [Striker, slugs Simon in the face]
- Simon: My God! The sun!
- Elaine Dickinson: What is it, Simon?
- Simon: A large, fiery ball at the center of our solar system, but that's not important now. We're headed right for it.
- Elaine Dickinson: Oh, Simon, you shouldn't have. I guess, I'm a very lucky woman, aren't I?
- Simon: Well, women and the space program have come a long way, sweetheart. But after the wedding, no more complicated computers for my little girl.
- Elaine Dickinson: But, darling, they've offered me a chance to head up the computer analysis division for the Jupiter probe.
- Simon: You're heading up the division in charge of babies for Mr. and Mrs. Simon Kurtz. That's an order, Lieutenant.
- Simon: What am I gonna do? My career will be ruined.
- Elaine Dickinson: Your career? What about the careers of the people on this ship? The lawyers, the architects, the dental hygienists?
