- Capt. Kenneth Cragis: And *you*, you imposter, I'll have your memory pulled so fast you'll never forget it!
- [last lines]
- Dr. Raven: [turning to address camera] Of course the operation was a success... or *you* wouldn't be here.
- "Title Card": end - - point of beginning, Webster
- Esme Cragis Milos: [Describing the The Order of Flesh and Blood] "You hold meetings. Wear ridiculous clothes. You tell yourselves how superior we are to the robots, because you know we're not."
- Esme Cragis Milos: [of her brother] You should be flattered, Maxine. This the first time I've seen The Craigis react as if a woman were anything more than a poorly designed man.
- Mark: This may be our last transplant for a while. Our supplier was caught.
- Dr. Raven: I didn't hear anything on Telefax.
- Mark: The Ministry of Information doesn't want it known that robots are dealing in robots. It would only give the Flesh & Blooders something more to yell about.
- Dr. Raven: They're a minority.
- Mark: A loud minority.
- Dr. Raven: Your supplier, will they take his identity?
- Mark: His memory will be dispersed tomorrow. What a waste.
- Dr. Raven: Why don't they just kill him? The effect of personal cessation is the same in either case. They just leave a hollow shell walking around.
- Mark: He can still perform his duties.
- Dr. Raven: But he's without a past, without hope, the dream gone.
- Mark: Almost like being a robot, isn't it?
- Dr. Raven: No offence.
- Mark: I'm incapable of taking offence. But why is it the more we become like men, the more some of them hate us for it?
- Dr. Raven: Men hate what they fear. You have perfect memory. Infallible logic. You never tire. You're circuited against anger and violence.
- Mark: And in your world that leaves us pretty helpless.
- Dr. Raven: We have to study for years what you pick up just plugging into a brain for two hours.
- Mark: We don't refer to the Father-Mother as a brain.
- Dr. Raven: Your Father-Mother is an electronic computer, nothing but a machine!
- Mark: Your parents were machines. It's just that they were engineered with flesh and bone. Neither are ideal components.
- Dr. Raven: You came off a production line.
- Mark: I know who created me: Hollister Evans and the Mark-47. You have to accept your Creator on faith.
- Dr. Raven: Who created your creator?
- Mark: Yours. You see, we are brothers, aren't we?
- Dr. Raven: I ought to know better than to argue with you Clickers.
- Dr. Raven: When I perfected the "Thalamic Transplant" technique, these 'clickers' knew about it in a day and a half.
- Capt. Kenneth Cragis: [to Acto] But if you robots had the process, why did you risk using Raven? Why didn't you just do it yourself?
- Acto, a clicker: We tried. But the shock of dying, and being resurrected as a robot, was too severe: they Re-Died.
- Member of the order of flesh and blood: Mankind is a state of mind. Man is no more or less than he thinks himself to be.
- Maxine Megan: Pax, you're wonderful. He's so glib, I'll bet he even has a sense of humor.
- Esme Cragis Milos: He'd *better* have! I paid extra for it. Say something funny, Pax.
- Pax: Don't put me on, dear. I have a sense of humor, but I'm not creative.
- Capt. Kenneth Cragis: Do you know it's almost 4 o'clock?
- Maxine Megan: We should be going.
- Capt. Kenneth Cragis: What are you going to do about breakfast?
- Maxine Megan: I'm going to eat it.
- Capt. Kenneth Cragis: Not alone.
- Maxine Megan: Of course not.
- Capt. Kenneth Cragis: Machines do all the work for us. Why should we learn mathematics when computers can find the solutions better and faster? We don't even control them anymore. The brains are designed by other brains. The robots improve themselves. We don't know how. We give them data, they give us answers.
- Esme Cragis Milos: You won't throw him out; because you can't.
- Capt. Kenneth Cragis: You mean "No"?
- Esme Cragis Milos: I mean "No"! Negative! N-O!
