Quotes
[first lines]
Tim O'Hara: Say, Uncle Martin, you know, I always thought it would take a much larger spaceship to get here from Mars.
Uncle Martin: Well, we have larger models, but a compact is all you need to drop in on a neighbor.
Uncle Martin: A neighbor? Now, frankly, I never felt exactly chummy about Mars.
Uncle Martin: Why not? Every seventeen years we're only 35 million miles apart.
Tim O'Hara: Oh-ho, well, practically across the street.
