Capt. Chris Gentry : Our plotting shows that the signal is coming from the fourth planet of the white star.
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : [Aboard the Seeker] Then we should have sufficient time for a search and rescue operation.
Lt. Adrian Pryce-Jones : Negative, Commander.
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : Explain, please.
Lt. Adrian Pryce-Jones : Commander, the star is already past the critical stage and may explode at any moment. You must leave immediately. Do you read me, Commander?
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : I read you, Adrian. But somebody out there needs our help. We must try to rescue them, no matter what the risk.

Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : [Reading the identification on the side of the distress beacon] "Sunbeam"? I know who's - it's a space trader operated by Marcia Giddings.
Lt. Laura Gentry : Marcia Giddings? Do you know her?
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : Oh, yes.
Tee Gar Soom : Well, what is she doing in an out of the way planet like this?
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : Dear Marcia always had the happy faculty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Lt. Laura Gentry : [as Gampu presses on ahead] Oh, Commander, can't we slow down a little? I'm tired of walking. And how do you know we could be going in circles?
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : Instinct, Laura. A quality I've refined to a razor's edge during my 300 years of disciplined living. Of course I know where we're going; we're going to find Marcia Giddings!

Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : Well, Marcia, we meet again.
Marcia Giddings : Hello, Captain.
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : Commander.
Marcia Giddings : Sorry. Commander.
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : I find you as I last saw you: on the brink of disaster. What havoc have you wrought this time?
Marcia Giddings : Now hold it, sonny...
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : I beg your pardon.
Marcia Giddings : You got your right shoe on your left foot again. It's YOU that's causing the trouble, not me.
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : You haven't changed one iota.
Marcia Giddings : Oh, yes, I have. I've come into the full flower of my womanhood.
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : Albeit a bit wilted.
Marcia Giddings : You haven't changed either. Pity.

Marcia Giddings : You are a doll, Isaac.
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : Never, never call me that.
Marcia Giddings : Three-hundred years old and still acting like a baby over that name? It is yours, y'know?
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : Not by choice!
Marcia Giddings : When, when, dear I - Gampu - when are you ever gonna loosen up?
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : Madam, I am as loose as I intend to be.

Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : We haven't much time, that star is already very critical.
Loki : You can count on us, Commander.
Peepo : I was about to say the same.
Loki : But I said it first!

Marcia Giddings : Now you listen to me, you bucket of bolts! You come one step closer and you'll rue the day they made you into a blunderbuss!
Cmdr. Isaac Gampu : Marcia! You can't talk to the robot the way you talk to me, he won't take it!
