  • Dr. Arthur Carrington: Knowledge is more important than life.
     
  • Ned "Scotty" Scott: Please doctor, I've got to ask this. It sounds like, well, just as though you're describing some form of super carrot.
     
  • Ned "Scotty" Scott: Watch the skies, everywhere! Keep looking. Keep watching the skies!
