Most of this episode is spent within the mind of George
Challenger after he is injured. All but the first and the last four
quotations take place in Challenger's mind.
Marguerite Krux: "Looks like a crude map of the solar
system."
Professor George Challenger: "It's a blueprint of the atom."
Krux: "... It's a thousand years old. How the hell could they
know about the atom?"
Ned Malone: "I'm a journalist, not an electrician."
Krux
(re: Challenger): "What if the light rewired his head?"
Lord John Roxton: "Then we'll get him to pick a few winning horses when we get
back to civilization."
Dirkon (Slaver leader): "On your
knees before Rohtah, woman. --"
Victoria: "I kneel before no one, much less some piece of junk."
Dirkon: "Kneel!"
Victoria: "Go to hell."
Challenger: "I think I'm
beginning to understand. Each mind has it's own frequency, like a
short-wave wireless. It's as if I'm a radio, tuning everything in."
Dirkon
(re: Veronica): "Any damage to this woman and the price falls."
Challenger:
"... there are forces at work in our universe beyond explanation."
Veronica:
"You killed him with your hand."
Challenger: "No, with my thoughts."
Dirkon: "Rohtah
is watching and his servants kneel before no man."
Dirkon:
"False prophet. -- Trickster. -- Now you will kneel
before Rohtah, or I will command him to strike you down."
Challenger: "Your god has no power over me. I do this with
regret. But there can be no mercy without true worship."
[Challenger uses his thoughts to destroy the idol of Rohtah]
Challenger: "Know this! Now and forever, there are no other gods
before me!"
Challenger: "Quantum reality?
Everything is possible and all at the same time. I've never been able to
put my finger on it before because there's never been a unified theory for this
sort of thing. And now I understand. And I understand how to harness
the power."
Krux: "And you got this magical knowledge from the light?"
Challenger: "Oh, it's not magic, it's science. Pure and
breathtaking."
Veronica: "Science from a vanished civilization."
Challenger: "From Atlantis. ..."
Roxton: "And this makes you a god now?"
Challenger: "It burdens me with new responsibilities, if that's what you
mean."
Challenger: "All I'm doing is manipulating the
laws of physics."
Krux: "Atlantis was destroyed,
Challenger. And this may be why."
Challenger: "They didn't respect the power. It overwhelmed
them. I will be wiser. I will not make the same mistakes."
Roxton: "No. You'll make new ones. ..."
Challenger: "You can be either disciple or enemy. -- For your
sake, choose wisely, friend."
Challenger: "... compared
to the millions of people who need my help, two lives are insignificant."
Veronica:
"I don't know what you are, but your not human anymore. ...
You're a fraud, Challenger."
Roxton: "We're going
home."
Challenger: "You're not going anywhere."
Roxton: "Maybe you're not tuning me in right. Check your dial."
Challenger:
"This is a spiritual awakening. A revolution."
Roxton: "You need to get down from that altar and take a cold shower."
Challenger: "Mankind needs me, Roxton. ... I can't turn my back
on them."
Roxton: "Blundering into that light doesn't
make you the chosen one, Challenger. ..."
Challenger: "... I discovered it. It is my destiny."
Veronica: "I don't want any part of your destiny."
[Challenger kills Veronica while aiming at Roxton]
Challenger:
"I am in need of friends, as well as worshippers."
Roxton: "What you need is a mirror, to get a good hard look at what you've
become."
Challenger: "... even my sadness brings joy to
someone."
[Challenger pulls a diamond from his tears and attempts to use it to bribe Krux
to stay with him]
Krux: "... There are some things even diamonds can't buy."
Challenger:
"If I can't have your friendship, I demand your respect. Pray to
me."
Challenger: "Anything is possible. ...
It was the light, Arthur. It showed me so many things: how to
control time and space and the forces of nature."
Professor Arthur Summerlee: "... you have to give it up. ...
You've got to forget it. Forget it at all costs. ... This
power you describe is too great for any man to bear."
Challenger: "But I am so much more than any more now. ..."
Summerlee: "Pride goeth before the fall."
[Shortly after this conversation, Challenger frightens Summerlee into falling
out of their tree dwelling and killing him. The thought of killing
Summerlee causes Challengers injured body to succumb to heart failure.]
[After
Challenger is resuscitated, he rises from the bed in a start]
Challenger: "Slavers are coming for Veronica."
[After
fighting off the Slavers]
Summerlee (re: Challenger): "He's gone."
Roxton: "What do you mean, he's gone? The man was just dead."
Challenger:
"May those who find this be bolder, braver and wiser than us."
[Challenger destroys the atom blueprint found at the beginning of the
episode. He apparently feared his actually obtaining the powers and losing
control as he did in his mind during his injury.]
Krux: "How
did you know about the slavers?"
Challenger: "It's complicated. ... Let's just say, I was shown
a world where I was god, and it wasn't a world worth living in. ..."
Krux: "Seriously, how did you know about the slavers?"
Challenger: "The same way I know you'd never sell out a friend, not even
for the most perfect diamond in the world."
