Quotes 

• Captain Dylan Hunt : Trance?

  Trance Gemini : Here. I want you to drink this very slowly. It's water.

  Captain Dylan Hunt : How?

  Trance Gemini : "How?" Well, when two hydrogen atoms love each other very much, they bond with an oxygen atom...

  Captain Dylan Hunt : No. How did you find me?

  Trance Gemini : Oh. That was easy. I had... this.

  Captain Dylan Hunt : You found me with a button?

  Trance Gemini : Yeah. Didn't Beka tell you what I used to do before I joined the crew?

  Captain Dylan Hunt : I take it you weren't always an environmental systems officer.

  Trance Gemini : No. I had all sorts of jobs. The one I was really good at, was, uh, finding things.

  Captain Dylan Hunt : "Finding things"?

  Trance Gemini : Yeah. You know, first I would... find things and, then I would take them, and give them to people who wanted it.

  Captain Dylan Hunt : You were a thief.

  Trance Gemini : No. Thieves have bad intentions. I never did.

  Captain Dylan Hunt : Oh.

  Trance Gemini : But, I am going to steal you now. So, let's get out of here.

• Captain Dylan Hunt : Admiral Stark.

  Admiral Constanza Stark : How did you know?

  Captain Dylan Hunt : Let me think. Sealed orders. No signature, no mission specifics. Now who else would it be?

  Admiral Constanza Stark : That's employing good, practical intuition. Nothing you picked up from that ivory tower war college on Tarn-Vedra.

  Captain Dylan Hunt : No, ma'am. I picked that up from Sara.

  Admiral Constanza Stark : Sara? You better be taking good care of my niece, Commander.

  Captain Dylan Hunt : Why do I get the feeling that after every date you receive a report in triplicate?

  Admiral Constanza Stark : Very astute.

• Captain Dylan Hunt : You picked wrong.

  Trance Gemini : Yeah, I did. But, that's the thing about guessing. Ninety percent of the time, it's fifty-fifty.

• Captain Dylan Hunt : [being interrogated]  Dylan Hunt, Commonwealth Captain, H-E-5-Zero-9-5-C-2-1-9-2-2.

• Gaheris Rhade : How many attempts?

  Venetri : A dozen. Look, I know I should've helped them, but Ferrin was... Look, I will lead you through. I promise. Okay?

  Gaheris Rhade : I thought you were dating our sponsor's niece?

  Captain Dylan Hunt : Huh, maybe that's why she sent me.

• Captain Dylan Hunt : [reading]  "I looked for you. I found out where you were. I travelled to where you were and, I got you out." That's your entire report?

  Trance Gemini : You wanted something more?

• Lawyer : The Great Compass has decided to spare you for now. In light of his mercy, do you have anything to say to us?

  Captain Dylan Hunt : I think we're all a little tired of my name, rank, and serial number.

• Captain Dylan Hunt : Trance, he's right. I am a hypocrite. Everything I have and everything I am came out of what happened here. By accepting the Andromeda, I sanctioned it.

  Trance Gemini : Dylan, you may have got the Andromeda from something that you're ashamed of, but, look at what you're doing with it. You've saved lives, planets. You're using the Andromeda to make sense of a senseless universe.

  Venetri : Another fool believer. Why don't you enlighten her, Dylan, hmm? Why don't you show her what the gun is all about. Why don't you do what you came to do. Kill me!

• [last lines] 

  Tyr Anasazi : Harper's finished installing that AP valve. We can leave now.

  Captain Dylan Hunt : Good. Andromeda.

  Andromeda Ascendant : Aye, Captain?

  Captain Dylan Hunt : All ahead full.

• Captain Dylan Hunt : Besides, he's right. These men shouldn't have died. We made a mistake.

  Gaheris Rhade : If we'd made a mistake, we'd be the ones lying on the floor.

• Captain Dylan Hunt : Can you control that?

  Trance Gemini : No. Life is chaos. Chaos is life. Control is illusion.
