Elaine Dickinson
- Simon: Just a few more hours and change 'til liftoff.
- Elaine Dickinson: I'm very excited, Simon.
- Simon: Guess this is a first for you, eh kid?
- Elaine Dickinson: No, I've been excited before.
- Elaine Dickinson: Ted, I have the strangest feeling we've been through this exact same thing before.
- ROC: Voice interface.
- Elaine Dickinson: There's an overheat in the core. Please analyze problem.
- ROC: There is no apparent overheat.
- Elaine Dickinson: Yes, there is, ROC. We read a core overheat. Repeat analysis.
- ROC: Analysis confirmed. All systems compute positive.
- Elaine Dickinson: Well, not from where I'm sitting they don't!
- ROC: Look, Elaine. Cut the "not from where I'm sitting" shit. It must be a human error.
- [Elaine turns to the captain]
- Elaine Dickinson: Captain, I think we have a computer foul-up!
- Capt. Oveur: I see.
- Elaine Dickinson: Well, what do you recommend, Captain?
- Capt. Oveur: Maybe you'd better run it through the computer.
- Elaine Dickinson: But sir, I already have!
- Capt. Oveur: Good!
- Simon: My God! The sun!
- Elaine Dickinson: What is it, Simon?
- Simon: A large, fiery ball at the center of our solar system, but that's not important now. We're headed right for it.
- Elaine Dickinson: [speaking into handset] Hello, this is the Mayflower. Come in. Anyone?
- Steve McCroskey: Okay okay. Now we're making some headway.
- [responds into handset]
- Steve McCroskey: Yeah yeah, we read you Mayflower. Identify yourself.
- Elaine Dickinson: Well, this is Elaine Dickinson. I'm 5-foot-8, 123 pounds. I have, uh, brown hair, blue eyes. I enjoy surfing, backgammon and men who aren't afraid to cry.
- Testa: Captain, Mr. Dunn and Mr. Unger were sucked out an air lock in the computer room!
- Captain Clarence Oveur: Both together?
- Testa, Elaine Dickinson: [together] Mr. Dunn and Mr. Unger were sucked out an air lock in the computer room!
- Captain Clarence Oveur: Don't panic. Calm down, ladies. Now, are there any other problems?
- Mary, Shuttle Stewardess: [races in the cockpit] Captain, we've run out of coffee.
- Captain Clarence Oveur: Damn! If I've told them once I've told them a hundred times, store extra coffee!
- Elaine Dickinson: [On P.A] Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down. Please listen to me! I want to tell you what's going on with the ship! Thank you. We've been thrown off course just a tad.
- Tad Woman: Miss? What exactly is "a tad?"
- Elaine Dickinson: In space terms, that's about half a million miles. The bumps you feel are asteroids smashing into the hull of the ship. Also we're flying without a navigational system and can't seem to change course.
- Dr. Stone: Miss, are you telling us absolutely everything?
- Elaine Dickinson: Not exactly. We're also out of coffee.
- [the passengers, who stayed calm for the other disastrous announcement, become hysterical]
- Striker: Elaine, we're going to have to blow the computer!
- Elaine Dickinson: Blow ROC?
- [a smiling face appears on the computer]
- Elaine Dickinson: Ted, Ted, Simon just ejected.
- Striker: Sit down, Elaine. If this bomb trick works, we might make it. Simon was a fool to eject now.
- Elaine Dickinson: You mean?
- Striker: That's right. Premature ejection.
- Nurse: Excuse me, ma'am. There's some pretty badly banged up people back there. I'm gonna need some fresh sheets, gauze, Q-Tips, and all the vasoline you have on board.
- Elaine Dickinson: Ted, please.
- Nurse: Right now!
- Injured Man: Are you the nurse?
- Nurse: Yes, take this. The washroom's just right down there, on the right.
- Elaine Dickinson: Oh, Simon, you shouldn't have. I guess, I'm a very lucky woman, aren't I?
- Simon: Well, women and the space program have come a long way, sweetheart. But after the wedding, no more complicated computers for my little girl.
- Elaine Dickinson: But, darling, they've offered me a chance to head up the computer analysis division for the Jupiter probe.
- Simon: You're heading up the division in charge of babies for Mr. and Mrs. Simon Kurtz. That's an order, Lieutenant.
- Elaine Dickinson: Oh. Sir, you should really put that case in the compartment above your head.
- The Bomber: I'll - I'll keep it with me.
- Elaine Dickinson: Well, I can help you if you can't get it up.
- Elaine Dickinson: Well, just to be on the safe side, should I check the rear data banks?
- Capt. Oveur: No. Why don't you check the rear data banks?
- Elaine Dickinson: Yes, sir.
- Elaine Dickinson: Things started to come apart. He was obsessed with that shuttle. He started to talk about it all the time, even at night in bed - and I guess that's when the real problems started.
- The Judge: Please elaborate.
- Elaine Dickinson: Well, at first, sex between us was a wonderful experience - the way he touched me. He was so gentle. He'd unbutton my blouse - and then - and then... We drifted apart. I'm sorry. I can't go on.
- Elaine Dickinson: Captain, I don't think we have any alternatives.
- Capt. Oveur: I see. What do you think our alternatives are?
- Elaine Dickinson: We have to disconnect ROC's higher brain function without disturbing he's regulatory system.
- Capt. Oveur: That computer has a self-defense mechanism, Elaine. Dunn and Unger tried to disconnect it, you heard what happened to them.
- Elaine Dickinson: I know. Sucked out.
- Simon: What am I gonna do? My career will be ruined.
- Elaine Dickinson: Your career? What about the careers of the people on this ship? The lawyers, the architects, the dental hygienists?
