- Col. John 'Slim' Griffin, Starbase Command: Now let me get this straight: two sixes and an eight beat three of a kind, unless it's a tuesday or a month with an 'R'?
- Col. Paul 'Crowbar' Corbin (Astro Marines): Right.
- Col. John 'Slim' Griffin, Starbase Command: What do you call this game again?
- Col. Paul 'Crowbar' Corbin (Astro Marines): Fizbin.
- Leanna: There's no way to let them know where we are...
- Mrs. Derringer: Sometimes you just have to trust your luck.
- Leanna: Luck has no place in science.
- Col. James 'Dash' Derringer: No mistakes now; they're running out of air down there.
- Victor: [his brother-in-law] Don't worry. We'll find them.
- Col. James 'Dash' Derringer: I have to worry. I've got family down there.
- Victor: So do I. Leanna's my wife, sir.
- Col. James 'Dash' Derringer: Sorry, Victor.
- Col. John 'Slim' Griffin, Starbase Command: [comes over] What's the game?
- Col. John 'Slim' Griffin, Starbase Command: Fizbin. Good hand, huh?
- Col. John 'Slim' Griffin, Starbase Command: No, you got a red nine.
- Col. John 'Slim' Griffin, Starbase Command: Huh? I do?
- Col. John 'Slim' Griffin, Starbase Command: Yeah, and since it's afternoon, you'll lose.
- [last lines]
- Col. John 'Slim' Griffin, Starbase Command: Okay. Three red cards beat four black. But only if there're no queens. Are you sure you've got the rules right?
- Leanna: I got lost once.
- Mrs. Derringer: I remember.
- Leanna: Yeah. Dash and I were on a Ranger Cadet camping trip in the Yukon. We got stormed in and nearly froze to death.
- Mrs. Derringer: I was so scared. When they found you both I was so relieved, I - never asked how you were located.
- Leanna: The cadet master had a flare gun. She fired a flare and an airliner saw us.
- Mrs. Derringer: [gasping] A flare?
- Leanna: That's right. What's the matter?
- Mrs. Derringer: I have an idea. It may not work, but anything's better than simply sitting here doing nothing.
