- Alien: [to the young boy protecting glowing crystal eggs] Thank you for protecting our young ones. But do not fear. The invaders will be examined and classified. If they prove hostile, they will be dealt with.
- Chris Gentry: [Addressing the young boy who has trapped them in a forcefield] Look, I don't think you understand.
- Laura Gentry: This planet is gonna break up soon. It's gonna demolish itself, turn into particles of space dust.
- Tee Gar Soom: We can't stay here, and you can't stay here.
- Loki: I can stay here. I'm not afraid.
- [Takes out an alien flute-like instrument, sits on a rock and begins playing it]
- Alien: You and your people may go, but the boy-child will remain.
- Cmdr. Gampu: The Boy-child?
- Alien: He is one we have cared for since he was found here.
- Cmdr. Gampu: But if he's not one of you, you must let him go.
- Alien: He is content to remain with us.
- Cmdr. Gampu: If you insist upon keeping him, he will always be a stranger here. You cannot condemn him to such a lonely future.
- Alien: We have nothing further to say to you.
- Cmdr. Gampu: [Growing more passionate] You are depriving him of his natural heritage if you keep him here. It's a terrible injustice.
- Alien: We hear you.
- Cmdr. Gampu: You have shown him kindness. It means that you are good. If you want what is best for him, let him go. I beg of you.
- Alien: Your concern for the boy tells us you are more worthy of life than we thought. You are free to take your people, our young ward, too, if he will go.
- Cmdr. Gampu: I thank you.
- Cmdr. Gampu: [Attempting to coax the young boy into accompanying them to Space Academy] Look at all those fine young people. I assure you they will not harm you. They are your friends. They want only to take care of you, to protect you, just as I do. If you come with us you will see and learn many things about the great world out there. You will develop skills even more marvelous than your disappearing trick. And most important of all... you will be loved. And you will never again be alone.
- Cmdr. Gampu: [Gampu smiles down on the young orphan boy] What is your name, young man?
- Loki: I don't know.
- Cmdr. Gampu: Well, then, I'll give you one. I think we'll call you... Loki.
- Loki: Loki. I like it.
- Adrian Pryce-Jones: You know, on the A-2 planet Earth Loki was the Norse god of mischief. I think that name suits you very well.
- Tee Gar Soom: You can say that again.
