Lisa Clayton Quotes in The Land That Time Forgot (1974)

Lisa Clayton: You know, I'm a biologist, Captain. I study the structure of living things, their motivations and their behavior. But I don't understand you. How can anyone who is so interested in life follow a profession which is devoted to destruction and killing?

Captain Von Schoenvorts: The study of nature, Miss Clayton, has taught me that life is founded upon killing and destruction. The sea swarms with living things that prey on one another to survive.

Captain Von Schoenvorts: And a hold full of arms and ammunition that would be used to kill women and children in my country. Oh, yes. How else would it have exploded so quickly?

Lisa Clayton: Is plesiosaurus a common dish in the British Navy, Mr. Olson?

Olson: Ah, no, Ma'am. The chef confessed complete ignorance of how to cook such a beast. This is an old Irish recipe I dreamed up for the occasion.
