• Dr. Zachary Smith : My dear sir, at the risk of appearing curious, may I ask what you were blasting FOR?

  Nerim : Cosmonium.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Cosmonium? Cos... I don't believe I've ever heard of it. I don't suppose it's very... precious?

  Nerim : Well, it is, if you know HOW to get it and what to do with it.

• Will Robinson : [appraising Nerim's cosmonium]  It looks like you've got little bits of sun there, Mr. Nerim.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Don't be ridiculous, Will. What possible use could there be for "little bits of sun?"

  Nerim : Well, the boy's smarter than YOU are, Zack boy. "Bits of sun" is just about what this is - quintescence of the living force that thaws the ice and melts the snow and puts living breath in everything that grows. That's a sight more precious than diamonds, ain't it, Zach boy?

• Nerim : This here planet has got layers and layers of rock so solid you could lay a burnin' sun right on it and the sun'd just burn itself out and leave the planet untouched.

• Nerim : You always get this happy when other folks is in trouble, Zack boy?
