Quotes:

Regina Jackson: History has lessons to teach us about first encounters between civilizations. As a rule the less advanced civilization is either exterminated or enslaved. I'm thinking of Pizarro and the Incans, Columbus and the Native Americans, and the list goes on. Unfortunately in this case, the less advanced civilization is us.

Michael Granier: This is the representative of an extra-terrestrial civilization. This is the most important discovery in the history of Mankind!.

Regina Jackson: It may well be the last discovery in the history of Mankind.

Klaatu: We can't risk the survival of this planet for the sake of one species.

Helen Benson: What are you saying?

Klaatu: If the Earth dies, you die. If the human race dies, the Earth survives. There are only a handful of planets capable of supporting complex life. This one can't be allowed to perish.
