• "Back to sleep Louis or I'm telling mom about your Playboy's!" ...and (repeat).
• Between Grig, Beta and Centauri, quite a few, the crown jewel being:

Grig: I'll have it all figured out by the time we reach the Frontier... Alarm beeping as Grig's face drops: Alex: What's that? Grig: The Frontier.

• • Of course the exchange between Alex and Grig before they take on the enemy ship in the asteroid is better.

Alex: It'll be a slaughter! Grig: That's the spirit! Alex: No, my slaughter! One Gunstar against the armada?! Grig: Yes, one Gunstar against the armada. I've always wanted to fight a desperate battle against incredible odds! (Alex just sits there, looking absolutely incredulous)

• How about:

Alex: Terrific. I'm about to get killed a million miles from nowhere with a gung-ho iguana who tells me to relax.

• Everything that happens with the Beta Robot back on Earth as Alex is off a million miles from nowhere. Test audiences liked the comedy of embarrassments Beta was endearing so the film-makers added more scenes.
  • For instance, there is Beta repairing his detached head and dealing with Alex's brother ("You're having a terrible nightmare. Go back to sleep.") just before he sees to his pained consternation an assassin landing. Then there is Beta finally revealing to Alex's girlfriend that he's an android, a claim proven when he is shot, revealing his circuitry and the only reaction he gives is a casual "See?" to the girl before he gives chase to the shooter.
