Claudia: Anyway, I've said what I had in my mind and I promised I'll keep my mouth shut about it in the future. [turns to Roy and holds finished pineapple salad high] Dinner's ready.

Breetai: This 'love', what is it? How do you express it?
Ben: Well, by kissing one another.

Capt. Gloval: Truly.
Rick: Yes sir. That many.

Col. Maestroff: That's ridiculous.
Capt. Gloval: Gentlemen, let's hear the entire briefing before discussing it.
Lisa: In the course of our captivity, we'd observed that the aliens have absolutely no contact with human emotions. They've been groomed entirely for war and their societies organized along purely military lines. It appears that they have increased their body size & strength artificially through genetic manipulation & that they also have the ability to reverse the process. While they examined us, they continued to referred to something they called protoculture.

[Captain Gloval announces the news of the SDF-1's forced departure from Earth]
Captain Gloval: This is Captain Gloval speaking with a very important announcement to all of you on board the SDF-1. As many of you may already know, ever since we returned to Earth, I have appealed many times to the government and the Defence Forces for permission to allow you to leave this ship and resettle wherever you may choose. Time and again, those appeals were turned down and I wish I could explain it to you at this time. However, I always felt that progress was being made on those requests. That is, until the events of the past few weeks. My friends, I'm afraid I have some very bad news to tell you. I've received word just a while ago that this ship and all of its passengers have been ordered to leave the Earth immediately. Furthermore, if we do not evacuate the Earth, we were warned that we might be attacked by elements of our own Defense Forces. This is an unthinkable possibility. We have therefore taken on supplies and are prepared to leave the surface of the planet. I desperately need all of your cooperation in this moment of terrible responsibility. We must all work so that they, the Earth, will take us back and until then, we will survive as best we can. I give you my most humble apology. [breaks down]
Lynn Minmei: [goes to his side] Oh....Listen everyone, the Captain needs our support more than ever right now! Look, I don't understand anything that has to do with politics, but I do know the only way we'll survive this is to pull together. We've been together in this ship for a long time now, and I don't know about you, but I think of the SDF-1 as my home now. Don't forget, this ship has almost everything we have back on Earth, our own town and all the things that go along with it. We've all been through quite a bit, but look at how strong we've become because of it. I have more friends here than I ever did on Earth. You've

Max: My life!? But why attack me?
Miriya: I will have my revenge!
Max: I'm afraid I don't know what this is all about. What do you mean revenge? If you're a Zentradi, I understand why you must fight - but why do you want revenge?
Miriya: I have reasons!!!
[Miriya attacks & Max evades]
Max: What have I done?
Miriya: Time and again, you've made me like a fool. I am the Zentraedi's greatest pilot and will not be humiliated by a Micronian. The first time you were lucky; the second was your final victory. Nothing can save you now - I will defeat you!
[Max tries to escape but trips. Miriya leaps in the air, trying to kill him but Max blocks her attack]
Max: Gotta get that knife.
Miriya: It's no use. You're no match for me. You may be a great man, but what is man compared to a Zentraedi?
Max: [picks up own knife and readies for duel]And now we shall see! [Knife fight; Max succeeds in disarming Miriya by knocking her knife away, and holds her at bay at knifepoint, the blade extended within an inch of her face] I guess I win again

Captain Gloval: All right, it seems we have such an important decision to make. Whether or not Earth can survive the attack, only time will tell.
Col. Maestroff: We'll give it our best shot.
Lynn Kyle: You're crazy. A FLEET OF ALMOST FIVE MILLION!?!? There's no way we can fight them off. We're finished... [sulks with Minmei comforting him]

Minmay: Are they all destroyed?
Rick: Probably.
Minmay: Oh no! Mother. Father.
Rick: Lisa.
Minmay: So this is how we end. First, the Earth then the rest of us.
Rick: No, Minmay, this is not the end. We still have our lives. It's not over yet. Listen, Minmay I want you to do something for me. I want you to go now & sing for everyone.

[Rick rescues Lisa from the ruins of the Alaska Base.]
Lisa: Thank you, Rick.
Rick: Sure. Well I guess I sort of disobeyed your orders again, didn't I?
Lisa: Yeah, That's alright. I was just thinking about how fortunate I am that you came back just when you did & about how much I admire you.
Rick: Of course.
Lisa: It looks like the fighting stopped.
Rick: Yeah.
Lisa: I wonder if there's anyone else around.
Rick: What do you mean?
Lisa: Well we might be the only survivors. It'll be sad to think that we're the only ones left.
Rick: That wouldn't be too bad, would it?
Lisa: What?
Rick: At least you'll never be alone.
Lisa: Oh, Rick.
Rick: Do you hear what I hear?
Lisa: It's... Minmei
Rick: Then the SDF-1 survived. [Sees SDF-1 landing] What a sight for sore eyes.
Lisa: You can say that again.
Rick: C'mon. Let's go.
Lisa: Okay.
Lisa: Thank you, Rick.

[After the Protoculture Matrix heist, a fuming Rick asks Lisa about not being informed of the battle]
Rick Hunter: I should have been notified at the VERY FIRST ORDER to scramble!!!
Lisa Hayes: You should be more discreet when you have people coming over. Last night, I dropped by and the door was open. I know all about Minmei. [referring to her split with cousin-manager Lynn Kyle]

[Claudia just found Lisa in a balcony aboard the SDF-1.]
Claudia Grant: Admiral Gloval sent me to look for you, why aren't you on the bridge?
Lisa Hayes: I needed to be alone, I'm thinking about resigning.
Claudia: Huh? You must be joking!
Lisa: No, I'm serious, Claudia. I just can't take it anymore. The army, Rick...
Claudia: Oh Lisa.
Lisa: I'm giving up. I'm just not as tough as everybody thinks I am.
Claudia: Come on, Lisa, you're not fooling anybody but yourself.
Lisa: What?
Claudia: Quit talking like some silly simpering schoolgirl. You're a military woman, born, bred, and trained and you're too much of a scrapper to give up like this without a fight!
Lisa: There's no use fighting...if Rick prefers Minmei than me, then that's just the way it is and there's nothing I can do about it.
Claudia: But the military is your life, Lisa. You can't be serious about resigning your commission!
Lisa: Yes I am. I have to get away.
Claudia: You mean run away.
Lisa: I couldn't work with Rick and watch him go home everyday to Minmei. You understand, don't you?
Claudia: Yes.
