"Andromeda" (2000) 6.5

Seamus Harper: These slipstream drives are a lot easier to break than they are to fix. Dylan Hunt: My chief engineer called it "job security." Dylan Hunt: Slipstream: it's not the best way to travel faster than light, it's just the only way. Dylan Hunt: Are you here to give me advice, Rev? Rev Bem: It's what I do. Trance Gemini: Exactly where on the body is the moneymaker located? [repeated line] Trance Gemini: Yee haw! Beka Valentine: Damn him! Rev Bem: I think he's damned us all. Beka Valentine: Where did you get the candles? Tyr Anasazi: I rendered them from the fat of my enemies. [watching a solar storm approaching the ship] Rev Bem: Magnificent. Tyr Anasazi: I wish you would stop looking for beauty in things that want to kill us. Tyr Anasazi: I thought you said the prison colony would be here. Seamus Harper: I did! The coordinates lead right here! Tyr Anasazi: I can spot planets. They're large. I have good eyes. Tyr Anasazi: We don't make appointments! Tyr Anasazi: Now can we blow them up?

/b>: The long night has come. The Systems Commonwealth, the greatest civilization in history, has fallen. Now one ship, one crew, have vowed to drive back the night and rekindle the light of civilization. On the starship Andromeda... hope lives again. [on her father's funeral] Beka Valentine: You didn't miss much. "Eject cargo pod: yes/no?" Dylan Hunt: Rommie, do you believe in fate? Andromeda: The idea that the universe is a vast preprogrammed machine does have it appeal. Seamus Harper: We needed a Plan B. You always have a Plan B. Dylan Hunt: My Plan Bs work. Harper: I'm gonna break free, crack your skull open and drink a beer over your fuzzy corpse! Harper: Cry me a river and drown in it! Trance Gemini: You know, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Although, I don't know why you'd want to catch flies. They're actually quite dirty little things. Harper: Trust in the Harper. The Harper is good. [commenting on the incoming Magog worldship] Rommie: Before you didn't know about it. Now you're facing it head-on. Beka Valentine: That is such a warship thing to say. Dylan Hunt: Magog suck! Tyr Anasazi: I would say "let God sort them out," but someone told me He was dead. Rev Bem: Providence chooses its instruments. Not the other way around. Fate brought you to that battle. Destiny demanded your actions. Perhaps you were merely a tool of Divine Will. Harper: Is my name Seamus Z. Harper? Beka Valentine: God, I hope not. Rev Bem: While I admit the universe does have a sense of humor, I doubt very much this is a joke. Dylan Hunt: It's a little known law of thermal dynamics: The Conservation of Optimism: There's only so much to go around. Tyr Anasazi: I have faith in nothing but this - when the universe collapses and dies, there will be three survivors - Tyr Anasazi, the cockroaches, and Dylan Hunt, trying to save the cockroaches. [season two opening narration] Unknown narrator: He is the last guardian of a fallen civilization; a hero from another time. Faced with a universe in chaos, Dylan Hunt recruits an unlikely crew and sets out to reunite the galaxies. On the starship Andromeda, hope lives again. Rommie: It ate my drones! Harper: I'm not deprived, I'm depraved.

: Remind me again why we haven't installed seatbelts on this thing? Trance Gemini: Scared money walks, sweet sugar action talks! [Dylan looks at her strangely] Trance Gemini: I-I heard it in a casino. Maia: How can you hear that? Rommie: I'm an android, we're full of surprises. Beka Valentine: Can I say it? Let's bring it. Dylan Hunt: No, a little louder, more intense. Beka Valentine: LET'S BRING IT! Tyr Anasazi: Your willingness to defy the universal odds is a disease that apparently we have all contracted. Dylan Hunt: Are you scared? Rommie: Terrified. They say there's always someone bigger and stronger than you. I just never thought it applied to me. Rommie: I just want a day where I can build missiles and tweak fire control in peace. Beka Valentine: We need to find you a hobby. Rommie: That IS my hobby. Harper: I want my Rommie! Trance Gemini: And they even have a guild devoted entirely to the art of abdomen dancing. Dylan Hunt: Trance, that's Iridano sign language, and I think you just made a rather naughty suggestion to Harper. Trance Gemini: Oh, well, fair is fair. Harper made a rather naughty suggestion to nearly half the women there at the reception. Without success, I might add. Harper: Have you sent the "Don't shoot, we're pathetic" message yet? Rommie: Nice flying, Tyr. If I ate food, you'd be wearing it. Tyr Anasazi: Lovely image. And they say AIs have no poetry in their souls. Rommie: Nope, no poetry, but we're hell on wheels with a dirty limerick. Wanna hear one? There once was a man from Nan... [machine beeps, revealing a system full of High Guard ships] Tyr Anasazi: What do you see? Rommie: Poetry. Rafe: For a fossilized High Guard Officer, your Dylan Hunt is one devious human being. Beka Valentine: I knew you'd like him. Dylan Hunt: Rev, have any of your prayers been answered? Rev: Many, just not today. [season three opening monologue] Dylan Hunt: The universe is a dangerous place, but in our future, my crew and I fight to make it safe. I am Dylan Hunt, captain of the Andromeda Ascendant. And these... are our adventures. Trance Gemini:
