Stark: Do you remember when we met?
John: (Incredulous) You want to take a trip down memory lane? Stark! My side, your side, my side, your side, my side, your side. (edit)
Crichton: Godlike aliens, man, do I hate godlike aliens! I'll trade a critter for a godlike alien any day! (edit)
Aeryn: (shooting the DRD targeting Crichton) You okay?
Crichton: Yeah, yeah, I'm all right. Thanks for watching my backside.
Aeryn: Couldn't help myself. (edit)
Aeryn: Stark, are you still there?
Stark: You're just like Zhaan, in so many ways.
Aeryn: If you say so. (edit)
Mu-Quillus: (as Aeryn prepares to shoot) Power down your weapons, I can offer you better terms!
Crichton: Damn, Smokey, you can't argue with a woman! (edit)

Trivia

add »
Talyn now has the facility for a pilot, something that was supposed to be removed during the breeding. (edit)
It appears as though any race can be bonded with a Leviathan as a pilot, since Stark is bonded to Talyn in this episode. (edit)
Mu-Quillus' head is covered in lights that imitate the action of 'Coal Gas Fires'. They light up, and give a glowing effect which can been seen if you watch the scenes closely. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Crichton: Never say never again, 007, that's all I know.

Crichton is referring to the 1983 James Bond movie Never Say Never Again starring Sean Connery. (edit)
