  Ficus : Nothing. By the time we reach Princess Carna you'll be dead.

• Adam Quark : Ficus, did you understand anything Palindrome said?

  Ficus : I did have my back to the screen and was deeply engrossed in my calculations.

  Adam Quark : ah ha.

  Ficus : Anything I might say would be purely conjecture.

  Adam Quark : Maybe I ought to be sitting down for this.

  Ficus : You are sitting down, sir.

  Adam Quark : I know that, I'm the commander.

• Ficus : There are no good or evil plants; There are only plants.

• Adam Quark : How could this happen? What's my condition, Ficus? I've got to know!

  Ficus : Sir, it would appear you are upset.

  Adam Quark : That I know! I want to know why I came out of that hatch ten years older than when I went down.

  Ficus : One explanation might be you were down there ten years.

  Adam Quark : Ficus, I was down there five hours.

  Ficus : That would rule out that theory.
