Quotes from The Black Hole (1979)

Dr. Hans Reinhardt: Something caused all this. But what caused... that cause?

Dr. Hans Reinhardt: The word "impossible," Mr. Booth, is only found in the dictionary of fools.

V.I.N.CENT: There are three basic types, Mr. Pizer, the wills, the won'ts, and the can'ts. The wills accomplish everything, the won'ts oppose everything, and the can'ts won't try anything.
4
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: We'd be better off without you and Maximilian trying to knock heads. V.I.N.CENT: I can handle that thing. Lieutenant Charles Pizer: Well, far be it from you to admit there isn't anything you can't handle. V.I.N.CENT: There are three basic types, Mr. Pizer: The Wills, the Won'ts, and the Can'ts. The Wills accomplish everything, the Won'ts oppose everything, and the Can'ts won't try anything. Dan Holland: Well, do us all a favor, V.I.N.CENT, and try to be a Can't, especially where that monster is concerned. We need you, not another corkscrew.
5
V.I.N.CENT: To quote Cicero: rashness is the characteristic of youth, prudence that of mellowed age, and discretion the better part of valor.
6
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: Vincent, were you programmed to bug me? V.I.N.CENT: No sir, to educate you.
7
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: You know what they say Vincent, "All work and no play..." V.I.N.CENT: "All sunshine makes a desert", the Arabs say.
8
Dr. Hans Reinhardt: In, through... and beyond.

Kate McCrae: If there's any justice at all, the black hole will be your grave!
10
Kate McCrae: Alex, I will not have yo throw your life away for this! Durant: He can do it, Kate. I know he can. Kate McCrae: Oh God, Alex! Durant: There's an entirely different universe beyond that black hole. A point where time and space as we know it no longer exists. We will be the first to see it, to explore it, to experience it! [Palomino] Booth: Damn it all, Dan! If we wait for Alex, we may be too late! Don't you see? He's hypnotized by that man! Holland: V.I.N.CENT! V.I.N.CENT: Yes, Captain? Holland: Tell Kate I want her back here fast, with or without Alex. Tell her why.
11
[After first seeing the black hole] Lieutenant Charles Pizer: Every time I see one of those things I expect to spot some guy dressed in red with horns and a pitchfork. Dan Holland: It's a monster, all right. V.I.N.CENT: A rip in the very fabric of space and time.
12
[V.I.N.CENT's tether breaks while repairing the ship] Kate McCrae: Dan! The tether's broken! Lieutenant Charles Pizer: I'm going after him! Dan Holland: Stay at your post, Charlie. Lieutenant Charles Pizer: What the hell are you made of? What if it was one of us out there? Dan Holland: V.I.N.CENT is one of us.
13
Harry Booth: If Reinhart has anti-gravity strong enough to hold us here, I figure he's got enough to pull away. Lieutenant Charles Pizer: So? Harry Booth: "So?" So why not take this ship and Reinhart back home? Dan Holland: That's a long shot you're talking, Harry. Harry Booth: Oh, come on! You've got two scientific wizards here who could figure out the computers, and possibly even reprogram the robots. And the three of us can handle Reinhart and that pet monster of his. I tell ya... we could all be heroes. Dan Holland: We could also be dead.
14
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: When I volunteered for this mission, I never thought I'd end up playing straight man to a tin can.
15
[as Captain Star moves toward Bob] Bob: Oh, Lordy, he wants a rematch! V.I.N.CENT: As an old war hero once said, "Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead!" Bob: He also said something about going in harm's way.
16
Dan: It's only dinner. V.I.N.CENT: Said the spider to the fly.
17
V.I.N.CENT: I don't mean to sound superior, but I hate the company of robots.
18
Harry Booth: No sense leaving the story of a lifetime untold, Captain. Dan Holland: I'm afraid there is, Harry. [pointing to the black hole] Dan Holland: And it's staring straight at us right now.
