Andromeda, Fourth Season

Paroo:
The Commonwealth is history.

Dylan:
"Luck was tortured." There's irony for you.

Trance:
[echoing Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson] Those to whom much is given, much is asked.

Dylan:
If only I knew the question.

Harper:
[to the Andromeda hologram] Alright, I know you can see right through me, but don't think I can't see right through you too.

Andromeda:
Hesitation is often the flaw of great intellect.

Harper:
What? I'm not hesit... thank you.

Beka:
If I didn't miss all this, I swear I would.

Trance:
The fate of the universe is in your hands, Captain.

Dylan:
Thank you for... sugar-coating that, Trance.

Tri-Jema:
Citizens can lose faith more quickly than anything else, especially when their belief is manipulated; when their opinions are shaped through fear; fear for their future. Then they listen to men with quick fixes.

Dylan:
Not much reason goes into some people's reasons, eh? Except that they just want what they want.

Andromeda:
Harper, why don't you find yourself a nice girlfriend.

Harper:
I tried building one but she doesn't want me. And because, yes, the universe is big, but finding one Mrs. Harper, let alone two...

Andromeda:
Accessing Harper quote archive..."If you're a bad hunter, the woods are always empty."

Harper:
That archive is private!

Andromeda:
Not so much.

Dylan:
Bad intelligence kills good soldiers.

Harper:
If there is treasure, it logically follows that I deserve it.

Harper:
Like a hot knife through protein paste.

Harper:
Just my luck - a woman with her higher brain functions on hold.

Rommie:
Thank you, Harper. It feels like you care.

Harper:
Only in the worst way.

Beka:
If they're so good at business, why would the Nietzscheans attack? That's not good slave management.

Dylan:
That's not a solar wind, it's a solar hurricane.

Game Sprite:
Are you okay? Are you awake?

Dylan:
I certainly hope so, or else this would be one sucky dream.

Dylan:
Let's bring it.

Trance:
It's good to have you back, Captain.

Dylan:
Anything is possible when you keep it real.

Lipsett:
High Guard my heart.

[Trance and Rommie sitting in a prison as decoys]

Guard:
Sit up, boy. Time to eat!

Rommie:
[to Guard, in previous prisoner's voice] I said, I do not wish to be disturbed, you damn mechanized bolt module!

Guard:
Fine, starve then!

Trance:
[to Rommie] I love when you do your impressions.

Rommie:
[in Trance's voice] We should spend more time together.

Harper:
It's so unimpressively simple and inconspicuous, it's a work of art.

Harper:
Sheesh! He's graduated from bluffing with our lives. He's moved on to roulette!

Dylan:
Well I had to switch games! You're the one who said I was lousy at playing cards.

Harper:
[about Tyr] Those bones must be going to his head.

Harper:
Wow. Except for waking up next to a certain satisfied android, now I've seen everything.

Aurelia:
Unmapped... unwelcomed... it is good to fear it.

Rhade:
You're an embarrassment to all Nietzschean prides.

Tyr:
I am the reincarnation of Drago Museveni.

Rhade:
The progenitor would not shoot a blind prophet. You are what's wrong with the Nietzschean race... selfish, self-absorbed, unaware of your own limitations... your career will end here. I will end it.

Beka:
Hmm. King of the Nietzscheans, and you still want more.

Tyr:
Not more, Beka. Everything.

Trion:
This is a Commonwealth vessel. You are treading dangerous ground.

Dylan:
That's how I get my excerise.

Rommie:
You are having entirely too much fun, Captain.

Dylan:
Breaking on to a Commonwealth ship without detection? Disabling without killing? I feel like I'm back at the Academy.

Rommie:
Well you're not.

Dylan:
[pauses] We need to get out more.

Dylan:
So... you enjoy the show?

Harper:
I've seen it before.

Harper:
Tyr Ana-sleazy. Livin' large in the lap dance of luxury, huh?

Harper:
I love the look. It's so, uh... Earth. [Although the scene is set on an alien planet, it was ostensibly filmed on Earth].

Tyr:
I didn't allow you here to insult me.

Harper:
That's what you think. Last time I saw you, you shot a defenseless blind woman- awfully brave of ya.

Tyr:
I could have you shot as well. And I just might if you don't mind your manners.

Harper:
If this conversation goes on any longer, then I'll demand it.

Tyr:
[pause] You'd be a waste of ammunition.

Harper:
Now you care.

Tyr:
[laughs]

Rhade:
A change of habitats isn't conducive to growth.

Trance:
[holding a plant] Look, it's almost ready to bloom. Change is the only constant; fear, its companion. Overcoming fear is to key to unlocking its gifts.

Rhade:
Wherever there is danger, opportunity lurks as well.

Trance:
No matter how you twist and turn, always keep your destination fixed in your mind.

Trance:
Trust not knowing. You are safe.

Tyr:
You can't kill me here! I've made a deal with the abyss.

Dylan:
Then you're already dead.

Rhade:
You were a purse snatcher.

Beka:
Well, actually, the term we preferred was "active second-hand salvage removers."

Pish:
Don't get scared, and run away.

Dylan:
Oh I'm not running, until I take care of you.

Pish:
So, you took it upon yourself to disregard Commonwealth decision?

Dylan:
No, I took it upon myself to do the right thing. How 'bout you Pish, you doin' the right thing? You were working for the Nietzscheans, you were even making deals with Tyr Anasazi.

Pish:
I'm not on trial here sir.

Dylan:
You should be.

Dylan:
Well then, stop the universe, 'cause I want to get off.

Pish:
Small-time scuffle on a big-time perpetrator.

Beka:
[laughs] I bet you say that to all the girls.

Rhade:
So, what's our first move?

Trance:
We travel into the future.

Dylan:
Exactly. Because it belongs to us.

Telemachus Rhade:
The past is gone, the future yet to be, the present just that-a gift, wrapped for us to enjoy.

Rox:
Oh, well this truth thing isn't so bad after all, is it.

Dylan:
Yeah, but don't get too comfortable with it just yet because now I'm going to need you to lie.

Rox:
To whom?

Dylan:
Moldar.

Rox:
Forget it.

Dylan:
Oh no, no, don't worry, you won't have to lie to him by yourself.

Rox:
Really? And who would be psychotic enough to accompany me on such a doomed mission?

Dylan:
Your new smuggling partner.

Rox:
Any thoughts?

Dylan:
Well, several, none of which should be said aloud in the presence of a lady.

Rox:
So what's stopping you?

Dylan:
Just my inner female, of course.

Rox:
Contrary to what most men think, there are certain situations in which even the most majestic of force lances, is useless.

Dylan:
There is nothing useless about my force lance. (Changes lance into grappling hook)

Rox:
My turn to be impressed.

Dylan:
I'll show you its other uses later.

Dylan:
Great, first monuments, and now bombs that walk, talk and act like me.

Dylan:
Beka, bring us in.

Harper:
Wait a minute. How come we always have to be the ones who rescue people?

Dylan:
Because I love to see you squirm.

Beka:
Just once, I'd like to rescue an ugly woman.

Harper:
And ruin my chances of being smitten by or... smoting... a beautiful woman, leave me alone, I can't love straight when I'm in think.

Dylan:
Whatever that means.

Dylan:
Set a course for the Trillan system.

Harper:
Boss, we already have.

Beka:
Dylan, I thought they knocked you out of commission.

Dylan:
Well, not today, just set a course.

Rhade:
Captain, should you be on command?

Dylan:
Rhade--

Rommie:
Dylan.

Dylan:
Unhh.

Rommie:
You're too weak to be here.

Dylan:
Rommie, you are no longer my friend.

Dylan:
Alright, p-prepare for... the library, my-my father's... no, the Magog Worldship is coming.

Rommie:
Captain, I'm afraid I'm going to have to relieve you of command.

Dylan:
Well that's no relief at all. See, my power is now absolute... no one can move me.

[Rommie pushes Dylan backward with one finger]

Harper:
[looks at Beka and Rhade, between whom Dylan just fell] What are you two? Idiots?

Beka:
Why didn't you catch him?

Rhade:
I thought you had him.

Rev:
Dylan, the doors!

Dylan:
Open says me. [fires guns]

Dylan:
Now there Rev, that's the way.

Rev:
Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Dylan:
You like it?

Rev:
Uh-huh, uh-huh. (This refers to the song That's the Way (I Like It))

Harper:
Whew! All in a day's work, piece of cake. Chocolate cake, with a Harper on top.

Dylan:
Victory comes from accepting the unacceptable, the darkness in all of us.

Rev:
Trance, I have a confession to make. I've always known who you are, but I did not understand, I could not grasp it. I was blind.

Trance:
No, I hid my light until it was time. I, too, had much to learn.

Rev:
A confession? From you?

Trance:
An affirmation. My journey has been as long as yours. I had to learn to hold a light, lest its brilliance destroy me.

Trance:
Dylan, this time, were you afraid that you would lose?

Dylan:
I fear losing you. And the rest of the crew.

Trance:
A moment of vulnerability from our captain.

Dylan:
Let's keep that our little secret.

Beka:
Have I ever lied to any one of you?

Harper:
We--

Beka:
Don't answer that.

Harper:
Great vehicle they call the world ship? I think you'd better stop smoking your peace pipe.

Rhade:
[Right after Louisa died in his arms] On this soul cast a cold eye on night and day. All thou living passed by. Louisa.

Unknown Female:
[After Dylan has entered the Route of Ages, and the final lines of the season] Have you come home from your journeys? Have you come home from your past? Dream, dear one, dream.
