Quotes

 * Beka Valentine: Happy birthday, Dylan...you're going home.

....
 * Beka Valentine: Is that an order, captain? My captain? Oh, I forgot, actually, you're not a real captain, uh, are you? There's no High Guard. There's no commissioned officers. Who around here is an actual captain? Don't tell me, lemme guess it's uh, it's coming to me, let me see, that would be, uh me.

....
 * Seamus Harper: It's half mystical mumbo-jumbo, half putrid poetry, and half bad math.
 * Rommie: That's three halves.
 * Seamus Harper: Like I said, bad math.

....
 * Beka Valentine: You know, Harper? I've saved your skin before, and I'll save it again. But you have got to get off my back or so help me I will drop you back on the trash heap where I found you.

....
 * Rev Bem: If the universe is a manifestation of the Divine, could not the slipstream be the very mind of God?
 * Dylan Hunt: Well, if that's the case, then I'm afraid God had a seizure and forgot all about Tarn Vedra.
 * Beka Valentine: And here comes God's little brain surgeon.
 * Rev Bem: Beka, some humility, please!
 * Beka Valentine: Yeah, I tried that once. I didn't like it.
 * Dylan Hunt: Like they say, in slipstream, confidence is everything.
