- Andromeda: I'm supposed to be a warship, not a lovesick schoolgirl.
  EDIT SHARE
- Tyr: Love is merely a trick the DNA plays to replicate itself.
  Rommie: I don't have DNA.
  Tyr: My point exactly. Are the two of you planning to procreate? Will there be a nursery full of little grav sleds and data disks?
  Rommie: Cynic.
  EDIT SHARE
- Harper: Wow, you've got logichips coming out the quinitiflop. What are you, some kind of robot brain-scientist-rocket-surgeon thing?
  EDIT SHARE
- Trance: They even have a guild devoted entirely to the art of 'abdomen dancing'. (she demonstrates)
  Dylan: Trance, that's Eridanu sign language, and I think you just made a rather naughty suggestion to Harper.
  Trance: Oh, well, fair's fair. Harper made a rather naughty suggestion to nearly half the women there at the reception. Without success, I might add.
  EDIT SHARE
- Shura: Andromeda Ascendant, this is FTA Enforcement Wing One-Five-Niner.
  Harper: My future ex-wife.
  EDIT SHARE
- Rommie: Does it get any better? Does the pain go away?
  Dylan: I don't think it's supposed to. It's part of what it means to be alive.
  EDIT SHARE
- Gabriel (after kissing Rommie): I'm sorry. I... I shouldn't have done that.
  Rommie: No, I liked it. (nods)
  EDIT SHARE
- Rommie: There was a time where this quarter would have been full of people: my crew, my family. All gone. But life goes on. Even artificial life.
  EDIT SHARE
- Beka: Run silent, run deep... run away.
  EDIT SHARE
- You ask why we give our Ships'
  Computers normal Emotions?
  Do you really want a Warship
  Incapable of Loyalty?
  Or of Love?
