Dr. Edward Morbius: Alta, go into my study.

Commander John J. Adams: You still refuse to face the truth.

Dr. Edward Morbius: What truth?

Dr. Edward Morbius: You're insane. How else would you have led it here, where Alta must see you torn to pieces?

Dr. Edward Morbius: Altaira, I specifically asked you not to join us for lunch.

Altaira: Lunch is over. You didn't say anything about not coming in for coffee. Well, you didn't, did you?

Dr. Edward Morbius: The fool, the meddling idiot! As though his ape's brain could contain the secrets of the Krell!

Altaira: [shocked] Father, he's *dead*!

Dr. Edward Morbius: He was warned, and now he's paid! Let him be buried with the other victims of human greed and folly!

Altaira: [coldly] Morbius. You wanted me to make a choice. Now you've chosen for me.

Dr. Edward Morbius: Alta?

Altaira: [to Commander Adams] I'm ready to go with you, darling.

[She runs up the stairs]

Dr. Edward Morbius: Altaira! No!

[Lt. Farman offers the brilliant but innocent Altaira some sugar for her coffee]

Altaira: But you keep helping me. After all, you're not Robby.

Altaira: I can see that was probably very clever, but I don't seem to understand it.

Lt. Farman: There's no rush.
