Quotes 

• [With John and Maureen passed out from the heat of an approaching comet, Don struggles to open the jammed hatch door and pull them inside] 

  Dr. Zachary Smith : I hope you children are more familiar with the navigation of this ship than I am.

  Will Robinson : Why?

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Well, if the heat out there should affect our pilot...

  Will Robinson : [angrily]  D'you always have to say things like that?

• Dr. Zachary Smith : Calling Aeolis-14-Umbra. Aeolis-14-Umbra. We have sighted your spaceship. Do you have instructions?

• Will Robinson : [seeing Dr. Smith raise his gun]  No! Don't shoot! He was in that thing. I disturbed him. I think I can communicate with him.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : [horrified]  Not human! Nothing! And I was so sure.

  Will Robinson : Human? Out here? Billions of miles from the Earth?

  [Smith raises gun] 

  Will Robinson : No! Don't! Maybe they can help us. I mean, they're not like us, but maybe they are.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Very well, my boy. See what you can do.

• [the roused alien gives off an electrical discharge, quite possibly its manner of communication] 

  Dr. Zachary Smith : What do you suppose THAT means?

  Will Robinson : I don't know. I don't think it likes being asked to guide us anywhere.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Let me try.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : [to alien]  Uh, we are from the planet Earth. Uh, we're perfectly willing to stay here if you show ME how your guidence system can get us back there.

  Will Robinson : But we don't WANNA go back there to Earth, Dr. Smith. We wanna go to Alpha Centauri.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : YOU do. Not I. Doesn't really mater. It doesn't seem very cooperative.

  Will Robinson : He WAS before YOU got here.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Very well. Try again. And I hope you realize how important their guidence system would be to us.

  Will Robinson : [to alien]  My parents are on the Jupiter 2 spaceship, and my sisters and Major West - he's our pilot - and Dr. Smith here... well... he just seemed to be aboard when we lifted off.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : He's not intersted in your passenger list. Ask him something sensible.

  Will Robinson : I can't ask him ANYTHING until I get him to realize I don't mean him any harm!

  Will Robinson : [to alien]  We are friendly. We're from the planet Earth. We are on our way to Alpha Centauri.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : No, no, no! Back to Earth!

  Will Robinson : He doesn't seem to read me no matter WHAT I say.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : He'll read THIS!

  [Dr. Smith shoots the alien] 

  Will Robinson : You've ruined EVERYTHING!
