- Jonah: ARK II Log, Entry 76. we are about to revive two people who were placed in suspended animation in time capsules some 500 years ago. At that time medical science was unable to cure their illness. For us, it will be a wonderful opportunity to see what people of the 20th Century were like when we revive these two men.
- Arnie Pool: [Wakes up and looks into the face of Adam] Good grief! We've been taken over by apes!
- Adam: I'm a chimp.
- Arnie Pool: And they talk yet!
- Adam: My name is Adam.
- Jonah: Besides, this is the 25th Century.
- Arnie Pool: [glances at his watch] 25th Century? Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.
- Adam: Never. Too ugly!
- Arnie Pool: Where is everything? Huh? Where's the high-rises? And, and the shopping centers? Where is the... where's the houses? Where are the stores? Where are the sidewalks? Where's my Poolesville, my town? Wha-what happened?
- Jonah: Pollution, Mr. Poole. Eh, overpopulation. Wars. I'm... I'm sorry.
- Arnie Pool: [Addressing the village leader] What are ya, Jeb, a Democrat or Republican?
- Ruth: [Speaking up for the perplexed Jeb] There are no Democrats or Republicans anymore, Mr. Poole.
- Arnie Pool: You mean nobody's running the country? Well, that's, that's un-American!
- Arnie Pool: [Whispers to Norman, as the villagers look puzzled at Arnie's waving around stacks of cash] They're a sick group. They don't know what money is.
- Samuel: Now will you tell me where Jonah and Ruth are?
- Norman Funk: As his former employee, I still owe Mr. Poole loyalty.
- Samuel: Norman, you haven't worked for him in 500 years.
- Jonah: ARK II Log, Entry 68. The people of Poolesville learned a lot from this incident. And so did we. If we're not careful, we can make the same mistakes over and over again, or we can learn and we can grow. And we don't need a miracle chemical to do it.
