SEASON ONE
"Look, you hired me because I was the only one desperate enough to take this job and slick enough to pull it off, but from here on out, it's my gig. So back off, and let me do my job."

I'll ask for permission...just as soon as I get my ammo."

-Dylan and Beka, D Minus Zero
"So were you planning on staying here until we're all extra-crispy, or can we leave while we're still only medium rare?"

-Dylan and Beka,(about Harper) The Banks of the Lethe
"I believe she called that one Walter."
-Beka, The Banks of the Lethe

-Tyr and Beka, A Rose in the Ashes

-Beka and Dylan, All Great Neptune's Ocean
"I don't drink, did you know that? I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't snort, I don't squirt, I don't inhale. I've been straight edge all my life because I'm my daddy's little girl and I don't wanna be like my daddy. Here I am, I'm streakin' like a freakin' comet. You can't stop me. Can't stop a Valentine with a head full of steam, believe me, I know, I've tried...blood of my blood, Trance, what if it's in my blood? What if I can't stop?"
-Beka, The Pearls That Were His Eyes.
"Don't treat me like a child! I'm not a child, you are. Or are you? How old are you, Trance? I don't even know. I don't know anything about you. Where ya from, who ya working for, why ya purple?!"
Beka, The Pearls That Were His Eyes.
"You okay?"
"I will be. Robbed of my superpowers, I must rely on mere human ingenuity."--
-Trance and Beka, The Pearls That Were His Eyes.
"Ah, family."
"How did you know what I was...thinking?"
"It's natural. You're worried about your sister."
"She won't let me help her. It's almost self-destructive."
"Sounds like my dad. Growing up, I used to sneak into his quarters at night. It as the only time I ever saw him at peace. I thought I could help him. I used to blame myself. I guess what I'm saying is, there may come a time when you've done all you can and you've just gotta let go."
"Is that what you did? Let go?"
(Pause)"No, no, I guess not."

-Beka, Harper 2.0

"He's dead."
"Yeah, I got that, I meant what killed him?"
"What didn't kill him? We've got stab wounds, laser and radiation burns, some sort of residual neurotoxin...and these pinpoint wounds, I've never seen anything like them."
"That's weird. Perseids can be annoying, but this is just ridiculous."
-Beka and Tyr, Harper 2.0
"Tyr, on behalf of human women everywhere? I'm insulted."
-Beka, Forced Perspective.
"I have had it with this! Making friends? Spreading the Commonwealth? We may as well strap a sign to our keel saying 'take advantage of us.' Why do we care? Why do we bother?"
"Sometimes I wonder."
-Beka and Dylan, The Sum of Its Parts
"Sadly, I doubt our beneficent commander would appreciate it if we were to nuke the planet from orbit, though I can hardly say I'd mind the exercise."

"Valentine-ology."
Tyr and Beka, Fear and Loathing in the Milky Way

Hawkins and Beka, A Heart for a Falsehood Framed
Ah, the Basilisk. Funny how no one ever names their planet-killer the ‘Fluffy Bunny'."
-Beka, All too Human

-Quechua and Beka, Una Salus Victus

"That's a good plan."
-Beka and Dylan, In Heaven Now are Three
"They're not butchers, just very strange lovers."
"Yeah, he's totally controlling, and she's this sexy, shoot-from-the-hip kinda gal. What could they possibly have in common?"
"Well, Harper always says that opposites attract."
"That's just his excuse to meet women. Everyone's the opposite of Harper."
-Dylan and Beka, In Heaven Now are Three
"I can't manipulate you like I can manipulate Tyr."
"Yeah, well, I think Tyr might have something to say about that."

"Beka."

-Beka, The Right Horse
"Tyr, we may not get out of this. I think you owe me an explanation."
"You'd like an explanation? The universe is changing and we're changing right along with it. I'll tell you a secret. I've lived with you and fought beside you, fought with you. I've often wished you were a Nietzschean."
"And what am I now? Nothing."
