Quotes
-
The Keeper : What a handsome pair of specimens you are.
Maj. Don West : I wish you wouldn't refer to us as animals. We're intelligent beings.
The Keeper : You're entitled to your opinion, of course.
-
The Keeper : In all the galaxy no animals have given me as much trouble as yourselves. Is this thing you call freedom so precious?
Prof. John Robinson : In our world since the beginning of time, men and women have fought and died for it.
The Keeper : Foolish, foolish creatures.
Maj. Don West : Maybe so, but it's what sets us apart from all the others.
The Keeper : You are not worth further efforts on my part.
-
Maj. Don West : How do you know who we are?
The Keeper : You are not alone in space. All the planets have eyes.
-
The Keeper : I have found some animals from planet Earth. They would make an interesting addition to our collection.
Lighted Head Leader : Then select the two best specimens.
The Keeper : Unfortunately Earth people live by reason as well as by instinct. My staff has no power over them.
Lighted Head Leader : Are you sure?
The Keeper : A man named Smith is the only exception. A poor specimen. There're also two children.
Lighted Head Leader : Will your staff exercise control over them?
The Keeper : I hesitate to use my staff for fear of damaging them, but perhaps I could get them by other means.
Lighted Head Leader : Very well, then. You may proceed.
-
The Keeper : Sorry to startle you, children. I've been around animals so long I've begun to move as quietly as they do.
Will Robinson : We were concentrating hard on our work or we would have heard you.
The Keeper : I'm sure you would have. The young have very sharp ears.
-
Will Robinson : Are you out hunting for animals, Mr. Keeper?
The Keeper : In a manner of speaking, yes.
-
The Keeper : I see you've changed your minds about leaving.
Will Robinson : [mesmerized] We're sorry, sir. We really want to stay with you.
Penny Robinson : [mesmerized] For always, Mr. Keeper. Always.
The Keeper : And so you shall, for always.
-
Dr. Zachary Smith : I want to talk to you, sir.
The Keeper : What could you say that would be of interest to me?
Dr. Zachary Smith : How would you like to add some new animals to your collection?
The Keeper : Are you referring to members of the Robinson party?
Dr. Zachary Smith : Certainly not, sir. I assure you they are a very poor selection indeed. But it's an entirely different story on Earth. The planet literally swarms with all sorts of strange creatures.
The Keeper : [wearied] Yes, I'm beginning to realize that.
-
The Keeper : Now go before my anger clouds my judgement and I destroy you.
