• Simon : Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet your captain, Captain Oveur.

  Capt. Oveur : Gentlemen, welcome aboard.

  Simon : Captain, your navigator, Mr. Unger, and your first officer, Mr. Dunn.

  Capt. Oveur : Unger.

  Unger : Oveur.

  Dunn : Oveur.

  Capt. Oveur : Dunn. Gentlemen, let's get to work.

  Simon : Unger, didn't you serve under Oveur in the Air Force?

  Unger : Not directly. Technically, Dunn was under Oveur and I was under Dunn.

  Dunn : Yep.

  Simon : So, Dunn, you were under Oveur and over Unger.

  Unger : Yep.

  Capt. Oveur : That's right. Dunn was over Unger and I was over Dunn.

  Unger : So, you see, both Dunn and I were under Oveur, even though I was under Dunn.

  Capt. Oveur : Dunn was over Unger, and I was over Dunn.

• Dunn : Uh, Captain, I'm picking up an overheat in the computer core.

  Capt. Oveur : How serious is it, Mr. Dunn?

  Dunn : Uh, I can't tell sir.

  Capt. Oveur : Well you can tell me - I'm the Captain.

• ROC : Voice interface.

  Elaine Dickinson : There's an overheat in the core. Please analyze problem.

  ROC : There is no apparent overheat.

  Elaine Dickinson : Yes, there is, ROC. We read a core overheat. Repeat analysis.

  ROC : Analysis confirmed. All systems compute positive.

  Elaine Dickinson : Well, not from where I'm sitting they don't!

  ROC : Look, Elaine. Cut the "not from where I'm sitting" shit. It must be a human error.

  [Elaine turns to the captain] 

  Elaine Dickinson : Captain, I think we have a computer foul-up!

  Capt. Oveur : I see.

  Elaine Dickinson : Well, what do you recommend, Captain?

  Capt. Oveur : Maybe you'd better run it through the computer.

  Elaine Dickinson : But sir, I already have!

  Capt. Oveur : Good!

• Capt. Oveur : Well, my goodness, Scraps is a boy dog, isn't he?

  Jimmy : Yeah.

  Capt. Oveur : Jimmy, do you like it when Scraps holds onto your leg and rubs up and down?

• Capt. Oveur : Jimmy, do you ever wonder why dogs sniff each other in the...?

• Testa : Captain, Mr. Dunn and Mr. Unger were sucked out an air lock in the computer room!

  Captain Clarence Oveur : Both together?

  Testa , Elaine Dickinson : [together]  Mr. Dunn and Mr. Unger were sucked out an air lock in the computer room!

  Captain Clarence Oveur : Don't panic. Calm down, ladies. Now, are there any other problems?

  Mary, Shuttle Stewardess : [races in the cockpit]  Captain, we've run out of coffee.

  Captain Clarence Oveur : Damn! If I've told them once I've told them a hundred times, store extra coffee!

• Testa, Shuttle Stewardess : Captain, what should we do if the passengers start to panic?

  Capt. Oveur : All right, this is the way we're gonna play it.

  [pulls out a marker and pad of paper] 

  Capt. Oveur : Mary, I want you here in case there's a full-cabin press. Testa, you take the aisle here, cover Mary's weak side in case she gets double-teamed.

  Testa, Shuttle Stewardess , Mary, Shuttle Stewardess : Right!

• Capt. Oveur : Anti-gravity check.

  Dunn : All right.

  [presses a button, which causes the crewman in the spacesuit who is listening and moving to the beat of "Car Wash" on his headphones to float in the air] 

  Dunn : Checks out in positive mode, sir.

  Capt. Oveur : Check.

  [the spacesuit man is still floating upside down] 

  Dunn : Checks out in negative mode, sir.

  Capt. Oveur : Check.

  Dunn : Neutral balance seems all right, sir.

  Capt. Oveur : Good, that shall do it.

  Dunn : Anti-gravity off, sir.

  [Turns off the anti-gravity, causing the spacesuit crewman to fall to the floor] 

  Capt. Oveur : Hope this weather doesn't give us a problem.

  [He sticks his hand out the window to feel the temperature] 

  Capt. Oveur : Mr. Dunn, what's your temperature reading?

  Dunn : [takes thermometer out of his mouth and reads the mercury level]  Uh, 98.6 sir.

  Capt. Oveur : That sounds normal.

• Dunn : Uh, sir, that overheat is getting worse. I'd better get back into the core and check it out.

  Capt. Oveur : Thanks, but I'd rather you check it out, Dunn.

  Dunn : Uh, right.

• Elaine Dickinson : Well, just to be on the safe side, should I check the rear data banks?

  Capt. Oveur : No. Why don't you check the rear data banks?

  Elaine Dickinson : Yes, sir.

• Elaine Dickinson : Captain, I don't think we have any alternatives.

  Capt. Oveur : I see. What do you think our alternatives are?

  Elaine Dickinson : We have to disconnect ROC's higher brain function without disturbing he's regulatory system.

  Capt. Oveur : That computer has a self-defense mechanism, Elaine. Dunn and Unger tried to disconnect it, you heard what happened to them.

  Elaine Dickinson : I know. Sucked out.
