Danny : Why'd you wish for a football? You could've wished us out of here!
Walter : I was under a lot of pressure! He was yelling at me!
[meaning the Astronaut]
Danny : [turns around] Why were you yelling?
Astronaut : [sits on the bed] OK guys. Here's the thing: I've played this game before. OK? I played it with my own brother 15 years ago.
Walter : You're a player?
Astronaut : Yeah. Just like you guys. We were fighting a lot back then. And when the game started, it got even worse. Every time we spun, we got madder and madder at one another. And then I landed on the Star Space, the same one that Walter just landed on. I was *so* mad at him that when the star passed... I made my wish.
Walter : What'd you wish for?
Astronaut : I wished that my brother had never been born.
Danny : Oh my god.
[Walter looks at Danny, then at the Astronaut]
Astronaut : As soon as I did, it felt horrible. I thought, you know if I could spin again maybe I, I could land on another Star Space and wish him back but, the game wouldn't let me. So it wasn't my turn. Walter, there are some games you can't play alone.

Astronaut : ...so he has to decide.
Walter : [pulls out card] Well I'm Fleet Admiral, and I'm telling you to hit the road.
Astronaut : Oh... I'm sorry... I didn't know. Oh, you know what...
Astronaut : [pulls out a card]
Astronaut : I'm Fleet Admiral too! It's just a card, bugnuts!

Walter : What are you doing?
Danny : Making mac-and-cheese.
Walter : There's no water, dummy, we're in outer space.
[Danny turns the water on]
Walter : Why're you doing that?
Danny : Beacuse I'm hungry and I know you're not goiong to take care of me.
Walter : Don't bother; the gas won't work.
Danny : [turns the stove on] Any more advice?

[repeated line]
Walter : You're such a baby!

Walter : Don't push that button.

Walter : [reads game instructions] "Zathura: Attention space-adventurers, Zathura awaits. Do you have what it takes to navigate the galaxy? It's not for the faint of heart, for once you embark upon your journey there's no turning back until Zathura's reached. Pieces reset at the end of each game. Play again and again for different adventures."

[With proper tension, Walter finds the key before the robot attacks him]
Walter : [gives key to Danny] Take it, take it. Come on hurry.
[the robot uses the saw to break out the bricks, then starts to chase Walter]
Walter : Gasp!
[the Chase between Walter and the robot destroyed parts of the entryway and the kitchen]
Walter : [to Danny; running] Take your turn!
[the Chase concludes when the robot destroys the family's table in the office room and uses the jetpack to destroy the window]
Walter : Why didn't you go? I could have killed.
Danny : I was scared. But it's okay, he's gone, isn't he?
