Top 30 Quotes From John Robinson

John: Look we don't know what it is yet.
Will: We don't know anything about Dr. Smith, but you're not worried about her.
John: Yeah? Well, that's different.
Will: Why?
John: Well, she can't hammer metal stakes into the ground like they're toothpicks.

John: So, I saw Dr. Smith being treated earlier. Which is strange because she wasn't being arrested.
Penny: Yeah, I think she's turning over a new leaf.
Judy: Well, she can turn over as many new leafs as she wants, but the tree's still rotten.

John: Not forever.
Maureen: After everything that's happened, you have this one chance to do what's best for them. Just sign the papers please.

John: [Scarecrow lays out its plan with rocks] You want us to handle ten, and you take two?
Don: Clearly a misunderstanding. Maybe they don't count rocks like we do.

John: So, what are our options?
Maureen: If we ration our supplies, we could maybe survive long enough for the heat to subside and we could land again.
John: Land back down there?
Maureen: It would actually be more of a crash.

[first lines]
Maureen: You sure you can get us back without a map?
John: [sarcastically] Hey, come on. Obviously, I memorized and studied the topography before we left.

[they kiss]

Will: What happened to your head?
John: Beckett hit me with a crowbar.

John: Some things you learn over time and some things, you have to be kicked in the face.

John: Judy, listen to me. I know a lot of good men and women who I've trusted with my life. But the lives of my children? That's that's a different story. There's only two people that I trust your mother, and you.
Judy: Me?

Victor: If we can't outrun them, we can find a way to take them out, like we did on the Resolute.
John: Problem is we're not on the Resolute. There are no places to hide here. No EMFs to slow then down. No weapons to defend ourselves with. The last time we faces the robots, we threw everything we had at them, including the Resolute, and they still found us.
Victor: Then we have to get creative and think outside the box.
John: We can't save ourselves. The faster we accept that, the faster we can focus on the people we can save. Our kids. When SAR gets here, he's gonna tear the Jupiters apart to try and find the location of Alpha Centauri, where our kids are headed with his engine. Anything that might be a clue, hardware, software, maps, even photos, all of it has to be destroyed.

Victor: Why would you have those?
Don: Let's just say that in my previous life, I had to cover my tracks once. And by once, I mean 24 times.

John: You know, over the years, a lot of people have put their life in my hands. But if I had to trust someone with mine, I'd choose my wife.

John: I love Penny 'cause she gives me lip. But she tries harder than anyone will ever give her credit for. I love Will 'cause he sees things that I can't see. Anyway, he's smarter than I am. I love Judy 'cause even though I'm not her biological dad, she's exactly like me. I mean, she's strong, fearless... Ah. Maybe I just wish I was more like her.

John: So what galaxy is this?
Maureen: Do you want to give it a name?

Maureen: You know you want to go as much as I do.
John: Not with an 11 year old kid and a gimpy wife.
Maureen: I'm not!
John: What? Gimpy? Or my wife?

Captain: John Robinson. I'm surprised to see you on your feet so soon.

[speaks in japanese]

John: [observing Will repairing a console] How long will this take you?
Will: About an hour.
John: How long if I help?
Will: About two hours.

John: Guess we're gonna have to delay that driving lesson, huh?
Will: It's okay, because I, uh, I should probably learn to fly a Jupiter.

Don: Okay, I signed up to help, but I fee like I should know what it is I signed up for, because I'm pretty sure I need to write a report about all this. So, if you guys want me to make you look good...
John: You'd rather stay on a ring of Jupiter's with a resting temperature of 106 degrees?
Don: John Robinson, one demerit. Problem with authority.

[last lines]
John: That's mutiny.
Maureen: Is it?
John: Yeah. Taking a ship somewhere the captain doesn't want it to go? That's mutiny... There will be consequences.
Judy: Any worse than for the people being left behind?
John: First thing we need is a plan.
June: I agree. Totally.

John: You know, the world we left behind was a big place. And not all of us had the luxury of only feeling responsible for our small little part of it.

[last lines]
John: Wait, where are we now?
Maureen: I have no idea.
Will: I do. I think we're here.
[holds up his picture of the interlocking circles]
Maureen: Where's "here"?
Will: Danger...

John: But I'd rather be wrong and ready than right and dead.

Maureen: What are you doing?
John: You said we needed a robot.
Don: To be fair, she says a lot of crazy things.

Maureen: Listen, I think it's important that they all hear us speaking with one voice.
John: Couldn't agree more.
Maureen: That voice is mine.
John: [stopped in this tracks]
Maureen: Great...

Judy: [noticing the wall plaque commemorating the Fortuna] You know, it's been almost a year since we went missing. I wonder if there's a wall with our name on it on Alpha Centauri.

Will: You look worried.
John: That's just my normal face now.

Victor: What happens if the robot resists capture? We both know, when we're protecting our families, we can do things we regret.
John: Let's cross that bridge when there's a bridge.
