SEASON ONE
"I told you before, pessimism is not a survival trait."
-Dylan (to Gaharis), Under the Night
"I'm Captain Dylan Hunt of the High Guard. Commander of this vessel."
"I've got news for you, Captain Dylan Hunt. You're not the Commander of anything. Not anymore."
-Dylan and Harper, Under the Night.
"This has been one long day."
-Dylan, An Affirming Flame
"So what's it gonna be Beka, you want to stay with me and live, or walk out on me and die?"
-Dylan, D Minus Zero
"I'm proud of you."
"Why?"
"You're thinking like a Nietzschean."
"If I were thinking like a Nietzschean, I'd kill you."
"So why don't you?"
"Because my mission is to restore civilization. And if I can't persuade you, a member of my own crew, how can I convince the rest of the galaxy."
-Tyr and Dylan, Double Helix
"I am death, destroyer of Worlds"
-Dylan, Angel Dark, Demon Bright
"The Restorians are shooting at starships. We're on a starship. Peace talks sound like a good thing."
-Dylan, The Banks of the Lethe
"It does get frustrating, fighting so many losing battles, but I never expected anything different. I'm trying to erase 300 years of chaos and corruption...I'm not going to win every time. But when we do win, it's gonna be big, big news. So if I were you, I'd stick around. It's going to be an amazing ride."
-Dylan, The Banks of the Lethe
"I take it formal debate's not an option."
-Dylan, A Rose in the Ashes
"Justice, for Nietzscheans?"
"For everyone, or there's no point."
-Tyr and Dylan, All Great Neptune’s Ocean
"If you're asking me would I betray an innocent man just to get my Commonwealth, the answer is no. But there is one question none of us wants to ask."
"Which is?"
"What if Tyr isn't an innocent man?"
-Dylan and Beka, All Great Neptune's Ocean
"There's just one problem with your analogy Rev; Apollo was a god, I'm just a man."
-Dylan, All Great Neptune’s Ocean
"If you don't want me to go, just say so."
"I don't want you to go."
"Damn. I didn't think you'd just say so!"
-Beka and Dylan, The Pearls That Were His Eyes.
"Are you saying we don't have any money?"
"Oh, we have plenty of currency, just that none of it's...current."
- Harper and Dylan, The Pearls That Were His Eyes.
"Confession's not supposed to come until after I commit the crime."
-Dylan, The Pearls That Were His Eyes.
"Right now, my bad day is your bad day."
-Dylan, The Pearls That Were His Eyes.
"You know, I don't need the saluting, but I like the saluting."
-Dylan, The Mathematics of Tears
"You hurt my crew, you hurt me."
-Dylan, The Mathematics of Tears
"In the old days, when High Guard officers went missing in enemy territory, we found them, no matter what."
"These aren't the old days."
"Not yet, but I'm working on it."
-Dylan and Tyr, Music of a Distant Drum
"I think we're all a little tired of my name, rank, and serial number."
-Dylan, Forced Perspective.
"I did all that while I was unconscious?"
-Dylan, Forced Perspective
"I miss the old days. I'd feel a lot better about making first contact with a full task force at our backs."
-Dylan, The Sum of Its Parts
"I stood at the abyss and blinked-that won't happen again"
-Dylan, Devil Take the Hindmost.
"The hell with the odds. All that matters in life is that we try."
-Dylan, It’s Hour Come Round At last
SEASON TWO
"Magog suck!"
-Dylan, The Widening Gyre
"I know only one person idiotic enough to try and save two dead people from a magog hive!"
"That's me, Captain Idiot. Now I don't know about you, but I've got a ship to catch."
-Tyr and Dylan, The Widening Gyre
"So, shall we have a game?"
"Your move."
-Dylan and Tyr, Exit Stragedies
"Am I mistaken, sir, or did you just grant complete strangers unlimited access to this ship?"
"Why, yes, I did. That way, we can monitor them closely and see what they do with it. There's something not quite trustworthy about them, don't you think?"
"Your occasional bouts of deviousness never fail to surprise me, Captain."
-Tyr and Dylan, Pitiless as the Sun
"I usually don't have to make life and death decisions. But you do it all the time..."
"And you're wondering how. I don't know. And I don't want to know. Because if I really thought about it, I wouldn't be able to do anything."
-Dylan and Rommie, All too Human
"Una Salus Victus Tyr, it isn't about being invulnerable, it's about being ready. For anything."
-Dylan, Una Salus Victus
"Yeah, I get it, it was a great plan. Get to the part where you turned my ship into a huge blinking target."
-Dylan, Una Salus Victus
"Until now, all I cared about was Tyr, and what he stole from us. Now I care very much about you."
"Well, you see, that's what the universe needs more of - people caring for each other. Have a good trip out."
-Cuchulain and Dylan, Una Salus Victus
"Yeah, sure, that explains everything. No chance that they've been left alone because they're a bunch of cannibals, or killer robots, or…"
"Harper!"
"What? You're gonna say I'm wrong? C'mon, every single High Guard remnant we've encountered has been psychotic, evil, or both… Present company excepted, of course."
"Of course."
-Harper, Trance, and Dylan, Home Fires
"And you explained it to them politely. I even used one syllable words."
"Ahh condesention."
"Thats four sylabbles."
-Beka and Dylan, Into the Labyrinth
"A Glorious Heritage class cruiser - like the Andromeda - could completely depopulate a world - like Ne'Holland - in under two minutes. More tea?"
-Dylan, The Prince
"She didn't salute! Shouldn't she salute?" (referring to Elssbett)
"Well, I'm thinking that maybe she went to the Beka Valentine School of Military Discipline."
-Beka and Dylan, Bunker Hill
"Uh, Dylan, now would be the time for one of those crazy, desperate, this-just-might- work ideas."
"Oh, I've got one, I was just hoping I wouldn't have to use it."
-Beka and Dylan, Bunker Hill
"You didn't speak to Cuchulain about me before you had him executed, did you? Too bad, I wonder whose next in line."
-Dylan, Bunker Hill
"I'm sick and tired of this cut and paste ship!"
-Dylan, Ouroboros
Dylan (on screen) "Tyr, you've got command. I know you'll display the appropriate sensitivity and diplomacy in dealing with the Chichin. (Tyr hangs up, and Rommie re-opens the channel) And, Tyr - don't break my ship."
-Dylan, Be all My Sins Remembered
"Prepare by all means, but hold your fire for now. Mr. Harper..."
"Oh no. He wants to *talk* to them. I hate it when we do this."
(Dylan looks at Harper, facial muscles flexing.)
" I know, I know, opening up a stupid com channel."
-Dylan and Harper, Dance of the Mayflies
"Told you it was stupid. So much for diplomacy."
"Just once, I would like to meet someone in space with some manners."
(Harper and Tyr roll their eyes simultaneously.)
-Harper and Dylan, Dance of the Mayflies
"Dylan, I'm not reading any pulses or brainwaves from the corpses of the plague victims, and their bodies register at room temperature."
"Well, that would make sense. They're corpses!"
(on-screen Andromeda) "Yes. The trouble is, they're walking around the ship trying to kill you!"
"You're surprised? That's what you get for incessantly trying to help!"
"Ungreatful dead!"
-Andromeda, Tyr, and Dylan, Dance of the Mayflies
"The Engine of Creation is a myth. It's like the Holy Grail of ancient Earth, or the Wyverni Hoards of Gehenna Mortis."
"Or a restored Commonwealth."
"(laughs, insincerely) It's not funny."
-Dylan and Beka, In Heaven Now Are Three
"Are we there yet?"
-Dylan, In Heaven Now Are Three
"Can't we settle this with a game of Go?"
-Dylan, In Heaven Now Are Three
"What the hell happened to you?"
"They just took me off the board for a while. I believe they were afraid I will help you cheat."
"I don't cheat."
-Beka, Trance, and Dylan, In Heaven Now Are Three
"It's my military upbringing: Strictly by the book. Sometimes, it's my own private book, of course."
-Dylan, In Heaven Now Are Three
"Are you asking me to the route to Tarn Vedra?"
"I'm asking you to help us save your life and I know we can do that on Tarn Vedra"
-Exulta and Dylan, the Fair Unkown
"These orders are legal and you must obey."
"Would you?"
"I don't have a choice."
"That's the problem, Rommie. I do, and I have the responsibility"
-Rommie and Dylan, the Fair Unknown
"How is your military history, captain?"
"I don't see how this has anything to do…"
"I asked you a very simple question."
"Excellent"
-Exulta and Dylan, the Fair Unknown
"Una Salus Victus, Ma'am."
-Dylan, Fair Unknown
"This definitely makes my list of top ten things that aren't fun!"
"They always do the right thing, don't you believe that?"
"I want to, I have to."
-Harper, Maia and Dylan, the Fair Unknown
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the planet Savion. I know you're all terribly worried that a giant space creature…"
"The Ceatus."
"The Ceatus, will arrive and eat part of your planet, but hey, don't sweat it, you're all worked up because of some old age superstitions…"
-Dylan and Trance, Belly of the Beast
"How do we get people to stop believing in a myth they've believed in for centuries?"
"By getting them to believe in that other myth."
"What's that?"
"The one about the High Guard captain flying around the universe, making allies, restoring the Commonwealth."
"Oh, I don't think they'll ever believe in that one."
-Dylan and Trance, Belly of the Beast
"It looks like I'll need a new speech…"
-Dylan, Belly of the Beast
"I hate physics."
-Dylan, Belly of the Beast
"Remind me to stop sending messages to myself."
-Dylan, Belly of the Beast
"I call it my eat your cake and have it too plan."
"Isn't that have your cake and eat it too?"
"Trance, we're working on a bomb that can destroy a small planet and you're quivering over semantics? Anyone can have their cake and then eat it. The real trick is eating your cake and still having it."
-Dylan and Trance, Belly of the Beast
"What if the ambush fails?"
"You know better than that, Ryan. Argosy special operations: failure isn't in the budget."
-Ryan and Dylan, The Knight, Death, and the Devil
"This place is a P.O.W. camp. You are High Guard, you're hurting, and I have to bring you home because that is my duty."
-Dylan, the Knight, Death, and the Devil
"You didn't find faith, Ryan. Faith found you."
-Dylan, the Knight, Death, and the Devil
"Time to depart the Field. Hold the line Captain Hunt."
"Hold the line, Achilles."
-Achilles and Dylan, the Knight, Death, and the Devil
"Don't make me knock you out and drag you to safety sir, because I will."
"I have no doubt."
-Ryan and Dylan, the Knight, Death, and the Devil
"Sir, I'm an AI we were built-"
"Yes yes yes. And humans were built to...spear antelope and live in caves. But sooner or later we all outgrow what we were built to do."
-Ryan and Dylan, the Knight, Death, and the Devil
"I hate him when he's right!"
-Dylan, Immaculate Perception
"Maybe our humanitarian efforts are beginning to have an influence on him."
"Say that like you mean that"
"I thought I did."
"Aha."
"I take it you have a theory?"
"Nietzschean alarm signals in a remote system, Andromeda runs for the rescue. Oops - ambush! Fall of the commonwealth. Ring any bells?"
"Yes, painful ones."
-Dylan and Beka, Immaculate Perception
"So, if the Genite attacks are fake, then Tyr is working with the Drago-Kazovs? Nah, I don't buy it."
"But you buy the "warm and fuzzy" Tyr, concerned for his fellow Nietzscheans?"
"No, I didn't say that."
-Dylan and Beka, Immaculate Perception
"In a fair fight with them, we'd be fried."
"Well, then, we'll have to make sure we don't fight fair."
-Harper and Dylan, Immaculate Perception
"It's not over until I say it's over! Understood?!"
-Dylan, Immaculate Perception
"Fire… a lot!"
-Dylan, Immaculate Perception
"There's only one way to fight a superior opponent."
"Well, that I wouldn't know - I've never fought a superior opponent."
"Area denial strategy"
"You mean to carpet bomb space?"
"I like that! They can only pop-up where we choose. It's like that old Earth game, Whack-a-mole!"
"Ahm… let the games begin!"
-Dylan, Zhukov, and Beka, Immaculate Perception
