"By freezing the prisoners, no hunger strikes, riots or escapes to worry about." "They've also frozen their time-lapse chronometer." "Or maybe it just stopped working." "In which case, those poor devils are liable to remain here forever." "Well, from what we've seen of the layout, the propulsion unit should be forward." "We ought to be able to get something out of there." "You should know more now than you did before about what's down there, Robot." "A mere soupçon, Will Robinson." "Oh, come on." "Don't go all French on me." "Just give me the facts." "I sense the presence of Major West and Professor Robinson below... but not their precise location." "Well, I know that." "What else?" " A kindred spirit." " A what?" "A robot." "However, his programming and mine are worlds apart." "Is there anything new?" "Just that there's another robot down there." " I'm sure he's an improvement on our model." " Hmm!" "Dr. Smith, we've gotta go down there and warn Dad and Don." "I couldn't agree more." "You, sir, go below." "Dr. Smith, you can't let him go down there alone." "If he goes, you're gonna have to go with him." "I suppose it would be a kind of adventure." "But I'd hate to deprive you of the opportunity." "We'll match for it." " Raisin or plain?" " I'll take raising." "Plain." "You go." "But you won." "I did." "So I did." " But I thought" " It's all right." "I'll go." "Come on, Robot." "Just a moment, William." "Perhaps I'd better go with you." "Your mother will say I encouraged you if I let you go alone." "Okay." "Stand aside." "Dr. Smith." "Come here." "Look at this." "Come along." "[ Robot ] Stand aside." "Not bad for an unimproved model." "Huh!" "Bah!" "[ Screams ]" "There is no need for alarm, Dr. Smith."

"The period of their sentence is indicated on those pedestal dials." "However, it is my computation... that there is a faulty circuit in the timing system." "The clocks have been stopped for hundreds of years." "Well, with the clocks stopped, they'll be here forever." "Forever is a long time." "Follow me, Will Robinson." "Listen." "You think that'll alert our silent guard?" "No, I think he's just programmed to watch prisoners." "Hey." "Just what the doctor ordered for our ailing Jupiter." " How about that?" " How about this?" "What do you think would happen if we borrowed this?" "I'd say there'd be at least two backup systems to replace it." " Seeing there's no one we can ask, what are we waiting for?" " Tools." "Oh." "Golly." "There sure are a lot of prisoners on this ship." "The actual count, Will Robinson, is 9,874." "I am picking up vibrations that Professor Robinson came this way."

"It was, of course, a case of mistaken identity." "[ Chuckles ]" "They thought like another criminal looks like Phanzig." " And I can prove that." " You can?" "How?" "If only I could speak to the members of the prison board... because I know that I could prove my innocence." "But the moment I step off this pedestal, it will alert the guard... and he is one who listens only to his own words." "And he will prevent me from pleading my cause." "Help me, master!" "Help me!" "I can't!" "Oh!" "But I don't know how." "I'm really a stranger here, you know." "Express only your willingness." "No!" "You will not stir until I return?" "I won't move." "I promise you."
