Armstrong: Get the burn status. Cotton picker just won't stay - try it!

Aldrin: Hey, you earned your pay today, Charlie.

Evans: Okay. Roger. (Long Pause) Copy that, 11.

Evans: Columbia, affirmative. You started out right, and then the numbers you read back were correct, but I didn't get your comment in between there. (Long Pause) We copy. Over.

Collins: Let me go on a little expedition here. ] We have always had confidence that all this equipment will work, and work properly, and we continue to have confidence that it will do so for the remainder of the flight. Thank you.

Aldrin: Hey - what do you do with it?

Duke: Roger, Mike. It's pretty hard to describe this view. How do you read? Good night all.
