  Dr. Zachary Smith : [switching off the robot]  You're wearing my patience very thin. You will erase that last statement and correct it to read: "Dr. Smith is incapable of telling a lie." Repeat.

  [Smith switches robot back on] 

  The Robot : Dr. Smith is incapable.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : "OF TELLING A LIE," you ninny! Finish it!

• Dr. Zachary Smith : You and I will never be friends, Major.

  Maj. Don West : That is the first logical assumption you've ever made.

• Dr. Zachary Smith : Go away, Major. You irk me.

• Dr. Zachary Smith : Well, I'd like you to explain just what you're doing here.

  The Robot : All systems preempted. Fixed position must be maintained.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Really? Well, I've got a little work for you that's far more important than experimenting with celery salad or whatever it is that boy's got you doing. Follow me.

  The Robot : Imperative that I do not abandon my station. Repeat. Imperative. At 1200 hours initiate signal to matter-transfer unit to return subject to original form and location.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Never mind all that nonsense. You're coming with me.

  The Robot : Imperative that I do not abandon my...

  Dr. Zachary Smith : [yanking out Robot's power pack and holding it up]  That is a little 'imperative' you didn't bargain for.

• Dr. Zachary Smith : Ahh. Now then my dear friend. I should like to hear a brief, but compelling statement on the sterling character of one Zachary Smith.

  The Robot : Does not compute.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Spare me the editorial comments.

  The Robot : It is now 1142 hours by Earth time.

  [Backs away from Smith] 

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Oh, no, you don't. Oh!

  The Robot : [Fires electric bolts near Smith as a warning]  Imperative that I do not abandon my station. At 1200 hours, initiate signal to return subject to original form and location.

  Dr. Zachary Smith : You will scrub that and pay attention to me, do you hear?

  [Yelps as Robot fires warning blast again] 

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Come back here at once! That's an order.

  [Runs after Robot] 

  Dr. Zachary Smith : Come back at once! This is an order!
