Computer: "Please enter the decontamination chamber and be sterilized".
Dr Leavitt: "I'd rather be decontaminated!"
(Dr Leavitt played by the late great Kate Reid.)
This scene doesn't appear in the DVD, so I suspect it's the "airline" version of the movie. In-air movies were a big hit and airlines didn't want anything remotely objectionable to hurt their image. They appeared on a big screen in the front of the cabin and so everyone aboard saw the movie, even if they weren't listening.
