Chrono: [watching the rain fall] Depressing, isn't it?
Sister Rosette Christopher: No. Considering we were up all night on a mission, and they ask us to do the shopping on our way home. I'd say it's more than depressing, it's the absolute worst.
Azmaria Hendrick: [being tossed around in the back seat] I'm sorry, I said I could do it by myself.
Sister Rosette Christopher: What are you talking about? It was obvious to all of us that you couldn't do it alone!
Azmaria Hendrick: [the phone rings] Oh, the Phone! Whoah! [falls down]
Chrono: Oh, are you all right, Azmaria?
Azmaria Hendrick: Yeah, I'm jake
Sister Rosette Christopher: You just stay put. Chrono answer the phone!
Chrono: huh what?

Senator McQuate: During your time captaining an Explorer-class vessel you've come across more new alien lifeforms than anyone else in the Fleet.

[Eilerson and Matheson are discussing going back to the planet.]

Matheson: Varelli.
Eilerson: Varelli. [pauses] Vivisected. Terrible way to die. We have to have our priorities, after all.
Galen: Did you say... vivisected?
Chambers: Yes, nearly all his internal organs were missing.
Galen: ...now that is interesting...

Holographic Galen: Oh, my. Whatever shall I do? They've all left without me. I knew I'd forget where we parked that shuttle. I hope something dreadful doesn't happen to me.

Holographic Galen: Oh, look. Something dreadful.

Gideon: Some days, it feels like our faith is being tested, same as his.
Galen: Where do you put your faith, Matthew? In science? Your luck? This ship?
Gideon: I haven't decided.
Galen: Well, then, if this is the story of Job, a great deal of people are being inconvenienced for your benefit. Hope you appreciate it.

[Dureena attempts to get Galen to teach her everything he knows about technomancy.]
Galen: The answer is still no. For now.
Dureena: Then there's hope?

Chambers(on the porn that came from Eilerson's data crystal): There's something you don't see every day.
...

Gideon: Maybe next time you'll let us know when you're coming. So what brings you here this time?
Galen: An attempt, in all probability foolish and useless, to prevent you from going down to that planet.
Gideon: Galen, my people have been looking for this place since we left Earth. Now that you're here, what could you possibly say that would change that?
Galen: Well, how about if you go down there, the odds are that none of you will return alive? [pauses] Clear me for docking. Put away the breakables. Turn on the landing lights. I'm coming in.
