Nora: What time would you say it is? Dick: Say it's about 3 o'clock Earth time here. Nora: 'Cept that we don't know how many hours are in the daily cycle here. You know this place could move around faster than our Earth! Dick: Well let's figure it for 3 o'clock anyway! That gives us 3 or 4 hours before dark. Dr. Ralph Martin: [after detonating an atomic bomb and watching it annihilate much of Planet Nova] Well, we've done it. Dr. Richard Gordon: Yeah, we sure have done it: Brought civilization to Planet Nova. Dr. Ralph Martin: I brought the atom bomb; I think it's a good time to use it!
