Quotes

 * Seamus Harper: I don't suppose you have any ammo left?
 * Tyr Anasazi: I've got one round.
 * Seamus Harper: One round is good, one round is good.
 * Tyr Anasazi: Would you like to close your eyes? (Harper nods his head, breathing heavy, closing his eyes. Tyr points his gun at Harper's head)
 * Seamus Harper: Wai, wai, wai, wait! I was thinking, maybe they're not so tough, maybe maybe we can take them in hand to hand combat. (laughs) What do you think? Heh heh heh!
 * Tyr Anasazi: That's my boy!

....
 * Dylan Hunt: If things start to go wrong, I want you to leave me behind. Gather everyone together and get to the Maru as fast as you can.
 * Beka Valentine: You want me to abandon you here?
 * Dylan Hunt: These people are my responsibility.
 * Beka Valentine: Yeah, and you're mine. When I agreed to help you, you and Rommie became part of my crew every bit as much as I became part of yours. I don't leave crew members behind. Ever.
 * Dylan Hunt: Do you regret it... signing aboard with me?
 * Beka Valentine: And risking my life? Battling Nietzscheans and Restors and Magog and half the lunatics in the galaxy? All for a cause that's been dead for over three hundred years. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

....
 * Dylan Hunt: It's a little-known law of thermodynamics, 'The Conservation of Optimism: There's only so much to go around.'
 * Beka Valentine: In that case, it's simple. Lower your expectations.
 * Dylan Hunt: You're right. I officially declare this glass 12% full.
 * Beka Valentine: That's the spirit.
