Maj. Don West : [examining Tucker's ship] I've never seen a drive like this, uh... What's the principle of it?
Captain Alonzo P. Tucker : Well, I wouldn't know that. I just push buttons to make 'er go. Well, now, course, I can, now, make simple repairs, but that's about all.
Prof. John Robinson : Well, what, uh... what happens when you push the buttons?
Captain Alonzo P. Tucker : When I push the buttons? Why, then, she begins a-shackin' and a-quiverin', and I begin a-shakin' and a-quiverin' - inside I mean, like I ate too many green apples - and then all of a sudden she goes ZOOM and the stars go out. They come back on when I get where I'm goin'.
Maj. Don West : A starship.
Prof. John Robinson : Hyper-spacedrive.
Maj. Don West : Faster than light.
Prof. John Robinson : Measures speed in parsecs.
Captain Alonzo P. Tucker : Eh, now you just hold on, buckos. I don't know what's on your mind, but we've got a bargain, remember.
Prof. John Robinson : With this ship we could get back to Earth in seconds.
Captain Alonzo P. Tucker : It ain't big enough.
Maj. Don West : We could shuttle back and forth. The best brains on Earth could dismantle it, find the secret of its drive. We'd have starships that could reach the further regions of the galaxy.
Prof. John Robinson : The UNIVERSE! HOW 'BOUT IT, TUCKER?
Captain Alonzo P. Tucker : Well, now... I'm just gonna have to THINK about that, heh-heh.
