Dylan: It's time to choose, Rhade. Die for peace, or fight for peace.
-
Beka: (returning after a fight with the Magog) Guess who's comin' to dinner.
-
Marlowe: (when Dylan urges them to hurry their decision of whether to move) We live in peace; we die in peace.
Dylan: I admire you for that. But living in peace is the better option.
-
Trance: You are the leader of the forces of light.
Dylan: Well I didn't ask for that job!
-
Rommie: Beka, don't do this. We're a team, and we stand a better chance of survival if you stay.
Harper (to Trance): There's no way this is goodbye. I don't believe you.
Andromeda: I'm sorry to intrude, but I have detected the Magog Worldship. It will be within firing range in ten minutes.
Rommie: It's hours early.
Andromeda: Nonetheless, it's here.

Harper (to Beka): Come on, don't be so hard on yourself. We're in a tough spot here, do what you've gotta do. When the dust clears, we'll see each other again. Right Trance? (pause) Right, Trance?
Trance: No.
Rommie: No what?
Trance: No, we will never be together like this again.
Harper: Ah hah! You said, 'like this', so that means we will be together again in some other way, like uh, like uh, like when we're dead...? This is just a possible future, Trance, right? I mean, it is possible something else could happen.
Beka: Is that right?
Rommie: Trance?
Trance: I don't think so.
-
Rommie: Dylan, remaining here once Harper and I fix Arkology's engines...
Harper: If we fix Arkology's engines.
Rommie: If Arkology is capable of slipstream, what purpose can it possibly serve to stay?
Beka: It's suicide.
Rhade: It is noble.
Dylan: It's the right thing to do.
Beka: Right. I'm out of here.
Dylan: Beka...
Beka: No. I've gone four years through three galaxies risking everything, and that's fine. But I'm not gonna die here defending some cockamamie notion of love and peace!
-
Dylan: These loving people, Trance...to save them I have to take their innocence. I don't look forward to that.
Trance: Innocence at this point is a liability, not your responsibility. But whatever happens, Dylan...I feel that it is the end of our adventures as we have known them.
