Quotes 

• Anthony 'Tony' Nelson : [referring to the curly hair and curly beard Jeannie gave him]  Uh, Jeannie, if I go around Cape Kennedy like this, they'll blast me off without a capsule.

• Anthony 'Tony' Nelson : [Tony puts the stopper on Jeannie's bottle as Roger approaches him]  There! You'll be safe right here.

  Capt. Roger Healey : Yeah, but how safe am I gonna be in the desert with a guy who talks to bottles?

• Capt. Roger Healey : Boy, it must be 110 in the shade out here. If there was any shade.

  Anthony 'Tony' Nelson : Well, cheer up. It's only 7 o'clock in the morning.

• Anthony 'Tony' Nelson : You come out of there. Now, now, come on. I'm in no mood to play games. Jeannie, look. Don't be afraid.

  [Roger notices that Tony is talking into his canteen; to Jeannie] 

  Anthony 'Tony' Nelson : I... I just want to talk to you.

  Capt. Roger Healey : Talking to your canteen? Aren't you afraid your bottle will get jealous?

  Anthony 'Tony' Nelson : No, I wasn't talking to it! I was... well, you know...

  [blows into it as if playing a jug] 

  Capt. Roger Healey : [a bit annoyed]  Would you like me to play a few verses on my comb of 'Sugar Blues', or shall we get on with the survival mission?

• Anthony 'Tony' Nelson : Where am I? Where am I? What's that?

  Jeannie : Baktu malali. An ancient Persian remedy

  Anthony 'Tony' Nelson : Oh, boy. What is it?

  Jeannie : Hot chicken soup.

• Anthony 'Tony' Nelson : [to Jeannie]  It's wonderful, but I can't gorge myself on roast lamb while my buddy is out eating needles.

• Capt. Roger Healey : Hey, you know something? I must be cracking up. I could swear I smell roast lamb.

  Anthony 'Tony' Nelson : Huh? Oh. Oh, that. Yeah, well, I got so hungry I cooked my shoe and I ate it.

  Capt. Roger Healey : Roast shoe? How did it taste?

  Anthony 'Tony' Nelson : A lot like roast lamb.

• Anthony 'Tony' Nelson : [Tony is trying to explain to Dr. Bellows how he survived the mission]  Roger chose the hard way, and I chose the easy way.

  Col. Alfred E. Bellows, MD : Obviously! Captain Healey lost twelve pounds traveling thirty miles in seven days, while you turn up three days early, seventy-five miles from the Drop Zone... and looking like the guest of honor at the Gourmet's Club!

• Jeannie : [after Dr. Bellows leaves]  Too rich food! That doctor, I don't think I like him.

  Anthony 'Tony' Nelson : Well, if he caught you here, I don't think he'd be too happy either. You better beat it.

• Jeannie : You will love the desert of Saudi Arabia. I know a pool there.

  Anthony 'Tony' Nelson : I bet you do.
