- Jonah: ARK II Log, Entry 93. We are in Sector 9, Area 15 with the best assignment we've had in months: two days of rest and recreation at a beautiful oasis. And we sure have earned it.
- Samuel: Picnic's over, guys. We've got a new assignment.
- Ruth: What's up?
- Samuel: Headquarters is monitoring some strange gases in the atmosphere near here. They want us to check it out.
- Ruth: [Turns to Jonah, who is cooking a pot of fish stew over an open fire] Maybe they caught wind of your cooking.
- Jonah: Very funny. Very funny!
- Samuel: [Jonah and Ruth enter the ARK and rouse the dazed Samuel] Alphie... Alphie gassed me. Where is Alphie?
- Jonah: I was just about to ask you the same question. Sam, you had orders to shut him down.
- Samuel: That's what I was doing. And that's the last thing I remember.
- Jonah: [Angry and sarcastic] What terrific timing!
- Ruth: Maybe Alphie had a reason for what he did, Jonah.
- Jonah: Sure he did. He didn't want to get shut off. He's flipping his circuit, that's his reason. There's no telling what he might do!
- Ruth: Samuel, have you ever considered a nice, quiet hobby, like rock collecting? After all, this is the only Ark we have...
- Nestra: My... my mother and father got the sickness, like the others. And now they're gone. I was looking for them.
- Alphie: Your family is safe. I will take you to them later. First I must stop this sickness of which you speak.
- Nestra: Nobody could stop the sickness.
- Alphie: I can. Where do you live?
- Nestra: [pointing] There...
- Alphie: Take me there. Trust me.
- Jonah: [narrating] ARK II Log, Entry 94. Life in the village is slowly returning to normal. Our mission here is finished thanks to a machine that had the human feelings of friendship and love. As Ruth said earlier, everyone makes mistakes. Neither machines nor humans are perfect. It was from a machine that we learned that lesson. A machine we will always remember fondly as... Alphie.
