- Tyr Anasazi: Am I mistaken, sir, or did you just grant complete strangers unlimited access to this ship?
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Why yes, I did. That way we can monitor them closely and see what they do with it. There's something not quite trust worthy about them, don't you think?
- Tyr Anasazi: You occassion bouts of deviousness never fail to surprise me, Captain.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Even in the days of the Commonwealth, Inaris was considered a backwater world. These people were unpredictable. After three centuries of struggle, I'm just not sure they can be trusted.
- Trance Gemini: So why don't you just let me go and I'll find out. What?
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Nothing, nothing. It's, er, it's just you as a spy.
- Trance Gemini: They'll never know what hit them.
- Professor Logitch: You were telling me about your world.
- Trance Gemini: Oh, which one?
- Professor Logitch: Well, the one you were born on.
- Trance Gemini: Oh, no, I wasn't born on any world. I was born in space.
- Professor Logitch: But, I thought... all right, Well, let's talk about, er, let's talk about the world you were raised on, then.
- Trance Gemini: But there are so many.
- Professor Logitch: We're trying to develop biological weapons to defend ourselves against your kind, should you launch a full scale assault.
- Trance Gemini: No offense, Professor, but your backwater rock is hardly worth the effort. And believe me, if my kind wanted to destroy you, it would take a lot less than a full scale assault.
- Professor Logitch: Is that what he wanted to do, the one who came before you? To destroy us?
- Trance Gemini: Like I told you before, I do not know who that was or what he wanted, but most likely he was just bored.
- Professor Logitch: Bored?
- Trance Gemini: When you have seen and you have done as much as we have, the universe starts feeling a little small and stagnant, so you learn to make your own fun.
- Professor Logitch: Are you telling me that everything that we've been through, the wars, the famines, the deaths, were all diversions for a monster? May God forgive me.
- Professor Logitch: But your shipmates... do they know what you really are?
- Trance Gemini: They know as much as they need to know. That I am their friend.
- Professor Logitch: But if you tell them what happened down here...
- Trance Gemini: I won't, and neither will you.
- Professor Logitch: So what happens to us? Are we going to be your little toys, too?
- Trance Gemini: No, I'm not that bored. The universe is a mess. I've got plenty of things to keep me busy.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: That was it? They just described it to you?
- Trance Gemini: A little bit, but, I think when they saw how much it upset me, they decided they had better not talk about it any more.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: That was very considerate of them.
- Trance Gemini: You're mad at them, aren't you? They should have been honest with you from the beginning.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: I can't make alliances until I know exactly who I'm dealing with, or at least until I know I can trust them.
- Trance Gemini: Aren't those the same thing?
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Usually, but there are those few rare exceptions. Glad you're back.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Open the pod bay doors.
- Beka Valentine: I just want you to know that I have the greatest enthusiasm for this mission.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: I'm afraid there isn't much upside.
- Beka Valentine: Okay, who are you and what have you done with the real Dylan Hunt? Do you remember Mister Help Thy Neighbour, Captain Idealism? That guy would have jumped at this.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Yes, well that guy didn't know the Magog were coming. See, now we have to temper our idealism with pragmatism. Prioritize.
- Seamus Harper: He kind of has a point there, Beka.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Thank you, Mr. Harper.
- Beka Valentine: Okay, look, I-I see what you're saying, but those freighter pilots? I used to be one of them, hauling rocks from one end of the galaxy to another, just trying to make a living. They don't deserve to be shot at, and they certainly don't deserve to die.
- Seamus Harper: All right, Rommie, are you recording this? Because this is like Freaky Friday or something. It's like somebody reversed the polarity on your brain waves.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: All right, all right, we'll go, and we'll see what we can do.
