- Herrick: [twenty years ago] This doesn't often happen, so, um, I'm not quite sure what the protocol is. Usually we're hosing down the cage and giving young Alan here a blanket. Uh... So, you did something remarkable tonight. You walked unharmed from a plane crash. Only, now, I don't know what to do with ya. It's a lot to take in, isn't it?
- Mitchell: The first time we met we were soldiers. You know war's real. It's a different planet. Men have to do things that they'd never dream of - things that seem terrible, heretical - but in a war these things can be heroic, selfless. They can save lives.
- Herrick: But, we're not AT war.
- Mitchell: Oh, we are. It's a secret war but, yes, we are, and sometimes we'll be asked to do things that seem to be bad, but they're not. And this is very important: They're not bad, they're brave.
- Nancy Reid: Something's going on in this house. The people in it think that they can lie to me, and I don't like that.
