Brent Stait: Rev Bem

Quotes 

• Captain Dylan Hunt : If I'd deployed one Nova bomb, just one, I could have stopped the Long Night before it began... I didn't. I was standing at the edge of the abyss... and I blinked. And now people like Tiama and Arun... pay the price for my hesitation. I won't make that mistake twice.

  Rev Bem : You committed an act of mercy. You erred on the side of hope. And that is why you will win. There are no stronger weapons than mercy and hope.

  Captain Dylan Hunt : Yeah, maybe so. But I would still prefer a platoon of Lancers.

• Rev Bem : As Harper would say, that would suck.

  Captain Dylan Hunt : You know, Rev, there are some words that should never trip across the tongue of a Magog, and suck is one of them.

  Rev Bem : Well, I'll make a note of that.

• [last lines] 

  Tyr Anasazi : I'm given to understand that your genetic material has become the foundation for an entire race of warrior priests?

  Rev Bem : Umm.

  Tyr Anasazi : I'm intrigued. And... perhaps, a bit... jealous.

  Rev Bem : I can understand why a Nietzschean would say that.

  Tyr Anasazi : What would a Wayist say?

  Rev Bem : We saved paradise... by introducing the serpent.
