Nerim
- Dr. Zachary Smith: My dear sir, at the risk of appearing curious, may I ask what you were blasting FOR?
- Nerim: Cosmonium.
- Dr. Zachary Smith: Cosmonium? Cos... I don't believe I've ever heard of it. I don't suppose it's very... precious?
- Nerim: Well, it is, if you know HOW to get it and what to do with it.
- Will Robinson: [appraising Nerim's cosmonium] It looks like you've got little bits of sun there, Mr. Nerim.
- Dr. Zachary Smith: Don't be ridiculous, Will. What possible use could there be for "little bits of sun?"
- Nerim: Well, the boy's smarter than YOU are, Zack boy. "Bits of sun" is just about what this is - quintescence of the living force that thaws the ice and melts the snow and puts living breath in everything that grows. That's a sight more precious than diamonds, ain't it, Zach boy?
- Nerim: This here planet has got layers and layers of rock so solid you could lay a burnin' sun right on it and the sun'd just burn itself out and leave the planet untouched.
