Andromeda, First Season

Rommie:
I killed him, Dylan. I loved him, and I killed him. [Crying]

Dylan:
You had no choice.

Rommie:
No, I didn't. Because I'm a warship, and warships only know how to do one thing, and that's kill. We don't have hearts. We don't have empathy. We're killers. We're attack dogs. And I'm afraid. The Balance of Judgment went insane, the Pax Magellanic went insane, and I don't want that to happen to me.

Dylan:
You're forgetting something. The Balance of Judgment had no captain, no crew. The Pax lost her captain. Why do you think warships have captains in the first place? I'm your heart, Rommie. I always will be.

Rommie:
[Calming Down a bit] These physical reactions. I didn't know Harper was so good.

Dylan:
The Commonwealth needs you, Andromeda. The crew needs you. I need you. So, permission to chop yourself into pieces is officially denied.
