- Captain Dylan Hunt: You brought this on your own men, not me.
- Ursari: Spare me the hero act. You're not fighting me for some noble cause here. Hell, there aren't any noble causes left to fight for. The truth is, you do it for the same reason I do it. It's the only thing you're good at.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Maybe so. But I'm damn good.
- Brother Thaddeus Blake: I saved their souls, their innocence.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Saved them from what? When the slavers come, they're gonna grab every able-bodied man, woman, and child they can find, and kill anyone who gets in their way.
- Brother Thaddeus Blake: Our faith will protect us.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Oh, really? Well, then why the hell did you call for help, if you believed that your faith could protect you from a Gauss rifle?
- Captain Dylan Hunt: If I'd deployed one Nova bomb, just one, I could have stopped the Long Night before it began... I didn't. I was standing at the edge of the abyss... and I blinked. And now people like Tiama and Arun... pay the price for my hesitation. I won't make that mistake twice.
- Rev Bem: You committed an act of mercy. You erred on the side of hope. And that is why you will win. There are no stronger weapons than mercy and hope.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Yeah, maybe so. But I would still prefer a platoon of Lancers.
- Beka Valentine: So, apparently my wish is Andromeda's command. I could make her sing I'm A Little Teapot if I wanted to.
- Tyr Anasazi: Did you?
- Beka Valentine: More to the point, I ordered her to blind her internal sensors to Cargo Bay 11, and then forget all about it. Who knew A.I. command protocols could be so useful?
- Tyr Anasazi: Bay 11. I'll tell our friends to move their souvenirs.
- Beka Valentine: Great. You know we're going straight to hell for this.
- Tiama: Brother Thaddeus was a good man... but he wasn't perfect. It never occurred to him that maybe we were the only ones who had the right to decide our fates.
- Rev Bem: As Harper would say, that would suck.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: You know, Rev, there are some words that should never trip across the tongue of a Magog, and suck is one of them.
- Rev Bem: Well, I'll make a note of that.

- Rommie: Trance says the relief supplies are ready for transport, and Tyr's security squads and the volunteers from the Drift are on board.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Good.
- Beka Valentine: Good news and bad news from the Pythians. The good news is that the earthquakes from the comet strike have stopped. The bad news is that the entire planet is now shrouded in dust. Anyone who wasn't starving is now freezing to death.

- Tyr Anasazi: I'm given to understand that your genetic material has become the foundation for an entire race of warrior priests?
- Rev Bem: Umm.
- Tyr Anasazi: I'm intrigued. And... perhaps, a bit... jealous.
- Rev Bem: I can understand why a Nietzschean would say that.
- Tyr Anasazi: What would a Wayist say?
- Rev Bem: We saved paradise... by introducing the serpent.
