- Emmett Seaborn: [to the television audience] Charles "Pete" Conrad, Jr. Only the third human being to set foot on the moon. Who can forget Neil Armstrong's immortal words? Let's watch and listen to the words Conrad has chosen to mark this moment in history...
- Pete Conrad: Whoopee! Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but it's a long one for me.
- Al Bean: And I realized, when you go through any endeavor, any journey, whether across town or to the moon and back, all that matters is that you share the experience with people you love. That's what makes life special. Because ultimately, that's all there is. That's really all there is.
- [Strapped into their couches ready to jettison the LEM. Pete and Al are nude after stripping off their dusty moon suits]
- Pete Conrad: You know... if uh, we were to lose the hatch when we blow the LEM... and one day, someone were to find us floatin' around up here like this, uh... They might be pretty confused!
- [they all break into laughter]
- Pete Conrad: Well at least we'll go out of this world the same way we came in, huh?
- [More laughter]
- Dick Gordon: [still in his suit] Well... *you* two!
- Pete Conrad: You didn't come into the world in that suit?
- Dick Gordon: [still laughing] Oh... Oh man... I *hope* not!
- [On Intrepid's return from the lunar surface]
- Dick Gordon: [opening CM hatch] Howdy fellas!
- Al Bean: Hey Dick!
- Dick Gordon: Jesus! Did you have to bring back half the moon with you?
- [eyeing their dusty moon suits]
- Dick Gordon: Uh-uh! You ain't gonna mess up my nice clean spacecraft. You strip down, and wipe yourselves off before you come in here.
- [pause]
- Dick Gordon: I mean it. Go!
- Pete Conrad: [to Al] He's right. You're filthy!
