• Filby : Which three books would you have taken?

• [last lines] 

  Mrs. Watchett : Mister Filby, do you think he'll ever return?

  Filby : One cannot choose but wonder. You see, he has all the time in the world.

• George : I've got to tell it now, David, while I still remember it.

  Filby : Relax, try to relax. You've all the time in the world.

  George : You're right, David... That's exactly what I have... All the time in the world.

• Filby : Alright. Take your, take your journey on your contraption. What would you become?... A Greek, a Roman, one of the pharaohs?

  George : I prefer the future.

• Filby : If that machine can do what you say it can do, destroy it, George! Destroy it before it destroys you!

• Filby : I think I understand. Look! See the imprint? This is where the time machine originally stood. But the Morlocks moved it. They dragged it across the lawn right into the sphinx... right here. And Weena was standing there when he last saw her... the same space--in a different time. So he moved back his heavy machine from here, across the room, scratching this floor. So that he can appear outside the sphinx again and help the Eloi build a new world... and a new world of his own.

• Filby : Why this preoccupation with time?

  George : Why not?

  Filby : Don't go simple on me, George.

  George : All right, if you want to know the truth, I don't much care for the time I was born into. It seems people aren't dying fast enough these days. They call upon science to invent new, more efficient weapons to depopulate the Earth.
