Dylan: It's a little-known law of thermodynamics – The Conservation of Optimism – there's only so much to go around.

Beka: That's the spirit.

TV Show: Andromeda
Harper: This is the engineer. You may have noticed the lack of a sudden drop in environmental pressure. Though this is a good thing, it, err, may not last, so enjoy the oxygen while you can.
Tyr: Harper, what's going on?
Harper: I don't know. I mean, umm, my current theory is that... somehow... an older version of Andromeda's personality profile may have been reactivated and is now taking over the ship.
Dylan: How did you figure that out?
Harper: I think the key thing right now is to repair the problem. We can worry about minor details like assigning blame later.

TV Show: Andromeda
Dylan: Do you regret it? Signing aboard with me?

Andromeda: Well, on the bright side, the Worldship was heading towards the known worlds anyway, before you just didn't know about it. At least this way, you can face it head-on.
Beka: That was such a warship thing to say.

TV Show: Andromeda
Rommie: Twenty worlds, joined into a single structure, manipulated by artificial gravity and powered by an miniature sun. I guess it's true what they say: No matter how powerful you are, there's always someone bigger and stronger than you – I just never thought it applied to me.

TV Show: Andromeda
Andromeda: Say it won't happen again. You have to promise to me, Beka, that when this is over, I will either be heading home with a crew aboard, or not at all.

TV Show: Andromeda
Trance: It's not impossible, it's just really unfair.

[Almost hit by a gunshot]
Dylan: We'll save the conversation for later.

Tyr: Killing them first?

Beka: Well, somehow, I don't think Tyr took all of our guns for Nietzschean "Show and Tell".
Dylan: With Tyr, you never know.

Beetle: Make me an offer.
Tyr: I offer not to pull your heart out through your eye socket and nail it to your forehead.
Beetle: That's very reasonable. How's noon tomorrow?

TV Show: Andromeda
Tyr: (about the Than and Chichin in negotiations) Would you like me to kill them for you?
Dylan: (weary) Yes. (Tyr moves toward the door) Wait I'm just kidding. I've got a better idea, next time I offer to broker peace talks between a Chichin gangster and a Than warlord, just kill me.
Tyr: Alright.
Dylan: Kidding. Again.

TV Show: Andromeda
Beka: He's good, quick on the uptake, smart, completely fearless. He reminds me of…
Harper: You. He reminds you of you.
Beka: Then I know I can't trust him.

TV Show: Andromeda
Rommie: Triagonal, prismatic, quartz crystal. Trace elements of vanadium, chromium, manganese, and cobalt. Eighty-two-point-two-five grams. I wonder how many of these fake Hearts are out there. I lost count at three.
Dylan: You never lose count of anything. I mean I assume you could tell the difference the whole time.
Rommie: Of course. Harper is sweet, but he still believes pretty much anything I tell him. (as if to Harper) Oh, I'm sorry. I may have a brain the size of a planet, but I can't tell the difference between one pretty rock and another.

TV Show: Andromeda
Tyr: Am I mistaken, sir, or did you just grant complete strangers unlimited access to this ship?
Dylan: Why, yes, I did. That way, we can monitor them closely and see what they do with it. There's something not quite trustworthy about them, don't you think?
Tyr: Your occasional bouts of deviousness never fail to surprise me, Captain.

TV Show: Andromeda
Dylan: The fact is, even in the old days, fully loaded, crewed and armed, the Andromeda was only an even match for a Pyrian torchship. In case anyone hasn’t noticed, we’re not fully loaded, armed, or crewed, and the Pyrians have had 3 centuries to improve their technology.
Beka: …Not the best pep talk you’ve ever given.
Dylan: Oh, you want a pep talk. Okay, uh, do your jobs, don’t screw up, and we’ll get out of this alive… Maybe.

TV Show: Andromeda
Trance: Alcohol doesn't affect me the same way it does you.

Trance: No, but I know where to get one.

TV Show: Andromeda
Trance: (to Hsigo) I know this may be a stretch for you, but think. You're twice as big as me, and you look pretty scary, but I'm still standing up to you, so either I'm crazy, or I am really, really dangerous. Would you like to guess which? … I didn't think so.

TV Show: Andromeda
[an alien has been shot up by the entire bar]
Dylan: Damn.
Beka: Got that right.
Dylan: No, I wanted to use him.

Beka: Ah, the Basilisk. Funny how no one ever names their planet-killer the "Fluffy Bunny".
