Quotes 

• Nexus : I am Nexus of Andronica. My companions and I have crossed ninety light years of space seeking a being worthy to wear that crown. At last we have found him. All hail our majesty.

  Will Robinson : My name's Will Robinson, Mr. Nexus, but I'm not a king. I'm only from the planet Earth.

• Nexus : It is a tradition that a king of Andronica must always come from off-planet stock to prevent weak rulers.

• Dr. Zachary Smith : A fine little lad. I know he'll make an excellent king.

  Nexus : But he has refused.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : I have a great deal of influence over his young mind. I KNOW I can convince him to see reason. Oh course, it would have to be made worth my while, perhaps a regency until the boy comes of age?

  Nexus : That would place a great deal of power in your hands, Dr. Smith. You would be virtually ruler of Andronica and its subject planets.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Suppose the boy continues to refuse?

  Nexus : Then we must select another candidate - one of sublime intelligence, extraordinary valor, judicial wisdom and royal bearing.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : That does narrow the field somewhat.

• Nexus : You place great premium on cunning, Dr. Smith.

• Dr. Zachary Smith : [at the merest suggesting of being made king]  Me? Oh, I wouldn't dream of taking on such a burden, a simple man like me.

  Nexus : But you said, yourself, you were descended form kings.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Remotely, dear friend. Only remotely.

  Nexus : But I'm sure you have those peculiar virtues required of kings.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : A compendium of virtues, if I say so myself.

  Nexus : We, uh, might do worse in selecting a king.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Oh, then, you couldn't be considering modest, unassuming me?

  Nexus : Ah, but we could. In fact, the more I consider it, the more I think you were made for the job, Dr. Smith.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : How uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. Do you mean it?

  Nexus : I do.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Oh, the pain of it. The royal pain of it all. I ACCEPT!

• Nexus : Professor John Robinson?

  Prof. John Robinson : I'm Professor Robinson.

  Nexus : You and your entire company are commanded under peril of royal displeasure to present yourselves for judgement tomorrow at the final audience of his majesty Zachary the First before he leaves this place to assume his royal duties as King of Andronica.

  Prof. John Robinson : You may tell your, um... your royal master that we'll be there.
