- Bellamy Blake: Octavia, Octavia, no. Let's give them something else to remember you by.
- Octavia Blake: Yeah? Like what?
- Bellamy Blake: Like being the first person on the ground in 100 years.
- Octavia Blake: We're back, bitches!
- Clarke: I wonder, "Why haven't we seen any animals?" Maybe it's because there are none. Maybe we've already been exposed to enough radiation to kill us. Sure is pretty, though. Come on.
- Octavia Blake: Someone should slip her some poison sumac.
- Finn Collins: I got to know what you two did to get busted.
- Monty Green: Sumac is not the only herb in the garden, if you know what I mean.
- Jasper Jordan: Someone forget to replace what we took.
- Monty Green: Someone has apologized, like, 1,000 times.
- Jasper Jordan: How about you, Octavia? What'd they get you for?
- Octavia Blake: Being born.
- Wells Jaha: Clarke, there is something I have to tell you. I am sorry I got your father arrested...
- Clarke: Don't you talk about my father.
- Wells Jaha: Please, I can't die knowing that you hate me.
- Clarke: They didn't arrest my father, Wells. They executed him. I DO HATE YOU!
- [first lines]
- Clarke: [narrating] I felt the sun on my face. I see trees all around me, scented wildflowers on a breeze. It's so beautiful. In this moment I'm not stranded in space. It's been 97 years since a nuclear apocalypse killed everyone on earth, leaving the planet simmering in radiation. Fortunately there were survivors. Twelve nations had operational space stations at the time of the bombs. There is now only the ark, one station forged from the many. We're told the earth needs another hundred years to become survivable again. Four more space-locked generations and man can go back to the ground. The ground, that's the dream. This is reality.
- [her prison door crashes open]
- Clarke: Reality sucks.
- Dr. Abigail Griffin: We always have a choice, Kane. You chose to press charges against my husband, your friend, even though you knew he would get floated for it. You chose to include my daughter in those charges, and now you're choosing this. Hiding behind the law absolves you of nothing.
- Councillor Marcus Kane: Be that as it may, in accordance with Penal Code One, because all crimes committed by those above the age of maturity are capital crimes, You are hereby sentenced to death. Execution is set for the morning, and I choose at every turn and at any cost to make sure that the human race stays alive.
- Dr. Abigail Griffin: That's the difference between us, Kane. I choose to make sure that we deserve to stay alive.
- Councillor Marcus Kane: Friendship is a luxury we can't afford, and if I have to take us down to a cosmic Adam and Eve, I will do it.
- Callie 'Cece' Cartwig: Please, show mercy, if not for Abby, then for me.
- Councillor Marcus Kane: We can't afford mercy, either.
- Councillor Marcus Kane: If we're going to kill 100s of innocent people, we're going to do it by the book.
