Beka:(referring to Elssbett) She didn't salute! Shouldn't she salute? Dylan: Well, I'm thinking that maybe she went to the Beka Valentine School of Military Discipline.
Harper: Great, "Start the revolution without me!" Anything else I can do for you? Transmute the elements? Reverse entropy? Make you a sandwich?
Tyr: It will take a great deal more than a whispered promise to extract from me any more information than I have provided already. However, (whispers) you are oh so very welcome to try.
Harper: But Dylan always keeps his promises! Tyr: Dylan has made a great many promises, and he only has one ship.
Beka: Uh, Dylan, now would be the time for one of those crazy, desperate, this-just-might-work ideas. Dylan: Oh, I've got one, I was just hoping I wouldn't have to use it.
Beka: Note to self: Don't screw up.
Elssbett: Which means, if she makes a mistake, every ship in the fleet will crash. Dylan: Yeah.
