- Kadmis: Michael, do you suppose that human souls and those of N'Tal go to the same place when they die?
Michael: I don't know?
Kadmis: If they do I shall look for your friend and tell her how much she is missed. edit » - (about the N'Tal)
Michael: I can't help feeling we're just cattle to them. edit » - Jaru: These people are afraid. And fear translates here as it does throughout the universe, into hatred. edit »
- Kadmis: I wish we were coming to you as explorers, adventurers seeking out other lifeforms for the pleasures of mutual discovery. Instead, we come to you as refugees, exiles from a planet rendered uninhabitable by our own negligence. We have come to Earth seeking help.
Kelly: What...what do you need from us?
Kadmis: Your dead. Give us your dead. edit » - [Closing Narration]
Control Voice: What if you were to wake up to a different world tomorrow... a world of invaders? Would you raise your voice with the aliens, in a chant of remembrance and regret, bidding farewell to a vanished world? Or would you fight against those who might ultimately help us? edit »
