Quotes 

• Lucas : What kind of fishing is that? Who eats rocks?

  Carl Maia : I eat rocks, in a manner of speaking. I crush and look inside them and they tell me things.

  Lucas : What do they tell you?

  Carl Maia : How old they are.

• Carl Maia : David, you still don't look like an ichthyologist.

  Kay Lawrence : The geologist's point of view. He expected a lovable old professor with a beard.

• Carl Maia : Well, now we have a lab, such as it is.

  David Reed : Let's hope we have some use for it.

  Mark Williams : I'll be disappointed if we don't. Assuming, of course, Dr. Maia's facts are well-founded.

  David Reed : Dr. Maia's a scientist, not a fortune-teller! How can he guarantee anything?

  Kay Lawrence : Well, it seems to me a scientist has need for both vision and confidence.

  Mark Williams : I didn't mean it as any personal criticism, Doctor, it's just that I also look forward to success.

• Carl Maia : And you two married yet?

  Kay Lawrence : No, David says we're together all the time anyway, might as well save expenses.

  Carl Maia : Did you ever hear of two living as cheaply as one?

  Kay Lawrence : That's what I keep telling him, Carl.

  David Reed : I'm waiting for Williams to give her that raise. Then she can afford me.
