Quotes 

• Seamus Harper : You're doing Flash. I don't believe it. Flash? Beka, come on. You know what that stuff does to people. People kill over that stuff, their family and friends. Did you know that 82% of people on prison planets are Flash addicts?

  Beka Valentine : Do you know what? They tell you that kind of stuff just to scare you.

  Seamus Harper : Sure, to scare you out of killing your neighbors.

  Beka Valentine : Look, I'm not gonna pretend this crap is good for me. I know first-hand what Flash can... I'm using miniscule doses. For a limited time. It's medicine, and it's working. You saw, you heard what Dylan said.

  Seamus Harper : If it's such good medicine, why don't you tell Dylan?

  Beka Valentine : Because Dylan is Dylan. Dylan wouldn't cheat on his FTA dues. Besides, it's none of his business what I put in my bloodstream.

• Beka Valentine : That's the last time I go to the mat for you guys. "Dependency is weakness, weakness is death." You know what, Tyr? You know what? I got two words for you, un, Anabolic, uh, Steroids! Oh, yeah, I forgot.

  [chuckles] 

  Beka Valentine : You're Mister Pure and Natural, aren't you? Yeah, you're, uh, too good for human women, that's for sure.

  Andromeda : Beka, is there anything you need?

  Beka Valentine : Yeah, uh, a door key.

  Andromeda : I was thinking more along the lines of a light supper.

• Rev Bem : The Andromeda Galaxy. If the universe is a manifestation of the Divine, could not the slipstream be the very mind of God?

  Captain Dylan Hunt : Well, if that's the case, I'm afraid God had a seizure and forgot all about Tarn-Vedra.

  Beka Valentine : And here comes God's little brain surgeon.

  Rev Bem : Beka! Some humility, please.

  Beka Valentine : Yeah, I tried that once. I didn't like it.

  Captain Dylan Hunt : Like they say: in the slipstream, confidence is everything.

• [last lines] 

  Beka Valentine : So from now on, every morning I'll wake up thinking about Flash. And every night I'll go to bed thinking about Flash. Is that it?... What do you know, I'm my father after all.

  Captain Dylan Hunt : In the High Guard, we pledged to hold the line against the night. That's what the Commonwealth meant. And on this ship... the Commonwealth still exists. On this ship... we hold the line against the darkness in all of us.

  Beka Valentine : I know... Dylan, I know. I'm gonna have to fight it every day for the rest of my life.

  Captain Dylan Hunt : And I'll be with you... every step of the way.
