Pamela Bottaro: Nyla

Planet of Dinosaurs

Nyla

Capt. Lee Norsythe: I'll need two volunteers to see what's up there.
Nyla: I'll go.
Capt. Lee Norsythe: Good, take Mr. Baylor with you.
Harvey: I thought this was volunteer work.
Capt. Lee Norsythe: You haven't been carrying any heavy equipment, Mr. Baylor. You look fairly well rested.
Harvey: Well, doesn't being a vice president pull any weight around here?
Nyla: Of course, Mr. Baylor. I mean, you get to walk on the shady side!
Harvey: I suppose rank has its privileges. This is one of the rankest privileges I've ever encountered.

Capt. Lee Norsythe: Ugh! How can you drink that stuff?
Nyla: It's only the first drink that's so bad; after that, your taste buds are dead from alcohol poisoning.

Jim: On this world you have two choices, be cruel or die!
Nyla: I don't ever want to have to make that choice, Jim.
Jim: Civilization is like that uniform you're wearing. It's getting dirty and torn. And pretty soon it's gonna rot away. You had better decide what you're going to wear then!
Nyla: I'll find something nice and warm.

Capt. Lee Norsythe: What do you propose we do? Go and hunt that thing down? You saw the size of it.
Nyla: C'mon, you two. Jim, the captain's right. We can't go out and fight that thing.
Jim: Listen! Centuries ago on Earth, wolves used to wipe out whole villages, until men went out and hunted them. Wolves learned! We've got to got out and teach them.

Jim: What if it attacks us outside the stockade? Are we going to let it pick the time and place it decides to kill us? We've got to hunt it down now in its lair, and kill it.
Derna Lee: Jim, you're crazy. How are we going to kill a thing that big? That gun wouldn't even kill the little beast.
Jim: It's an animal. A dumb animal. We're rational thinking human beings, we'll find a way.
Mike: No. No! We shouldn't risk any more lives just because you want to play Tarzan.
Nyla: You fools! Jim's right, what are we going to do, sit around her like cattle in a pen waiting for that thing to come get us? Millions of years ago on Earth, an ape, an APE, took a club and killed his first predator. Well, we've gotta kill that thing, or... or that something inside of us, that dignity that makes us human, fear is going to kill that!
