• Dr. Zachary Smith : You know, Mrs. Robinson, you're an admirable woman. A unique spirit. A pioneer spirit from days of old.

  Maureen Robinson : Well, now, why do you say that?

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Why? Because it's true. Who knows what terrible misfortune has befallen your young son. Why, at this very moment, he may be in the clutches of some sinister being, suffering indescribable torture...

  Judy Robinson : Stop it!

  Dr. Zachary Smith : ...but do you weep, do you bewail the fate of your only male offspring? Oh, no. Like the true Spartan woman, you face adversity undaunted, unflinching.

• Dr. Zachary Smith : Mark my words - if you don't destroy this monstrous thing at once, ruin and disaster will follow. We will all suffer a horrible fate. That is my final word on the subject. Now, I'm going to the galley to satisfy the needs of the INNER man.

• Dr. Zachary Smith : [lazing out for a suntan while Will and Don repair the chariot]  You see, Will, even as a boy your age I was determined to be a scientist. Believe me, there is no worthier ambition. How gratifying it is to work for the betterment of Mankind, to strive for the unobtainable.

  Maj. Don West : How about doing a little striving on this engine?

  Dr. Zachary Smith : I am a scientist, not a menial mechanic.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Sticks and stones may break my bones, but YOUR words can never harm me.
