Dr. Aronov : This is Janice Lee, one of our most brilliant young physicists.
Dr. Claire Finn : [shaking hands] Hello.
Janice Lee : Hi.
Dr. Aronov : Janice has been experimenting with temporal fields and has made... well, a breakthrough would be an understatement.
[Janice sets a banana on the table, then taps on her hand-held pad; an electric bubble covers the banana, and it rapidly rots]
Ed Mercer : So, it's an anti-banana ray?
Kelly Grayson : It's really interesting.
Ed Mercer : We need no longer fear the banana.
Kelly Grayson : Does it work on all fruit?
Ed Mercer : What about salads?
Dr. Aronov : Do you understand what happened to this banana? It's rotten because a month has passed.
Ed Mercer : Since we got here? Yeah, that's what it feels like.
-
Dr. Claire Finn : Captain, let me see that shoulder. Does it hurt?
Ed Mercer : Yeah, it hurts like hell.
Kelly Grayson : That means it's not that bad.
Ed Mercer : What are you talking about, Kelly? I literally just said it hurts like hell.
Kelly Grayson : When he's really in pain, he gives straight answers with no cussing. He's just hoping you give him drugs.
Ed Mercer : That's a bunch of crap, Kelly. I'm in real pain here. I... why, do you have drugs?
-
Ed Mercer : You knew what Arbor Day was, right?
Kelly Grayson : I mean, actually, I had to think a second. Kind of confusing.
Ed Mercer : Nobody knows what Arbor Day is.
Bortus : No.
Alara Kitan : No.
Dr. Aronov : I knew.
Ed Mercer : Well, what would you have said?
Kelly Grayson : I would have said... "You got wood."
Gordon Malloy : [the crew laughs] Yeah. Yes.
Ed Mercer : Yeah, that is better, isn't it?
-
Gordon Malloy : Whoa. Hey.
Kelly Grayson : Hi, there.
Gordon Malloy : I was just on my way to the john.
Kelly Grayson : Well, I'm... I'm glad I bumped into you. Do you have a second?
Gordon Malloy : Sure. I can hold it.
-
Ed Mercer : [escaping a Krill attack] Doc, is there another way out of here?
Dr. Aronov : There's an old loading conduit, but it's across the atrium.
Dr. Claire Finn : We're gonna have to sprint for it.
Ed Mercer : All right, get ready.
Kelly Grayson : Doc, stay behind Alara.
Dr. Aronov : Which one's Alara?
Alara Kitan : [stepping forward] Oh, I'm Alara.
Dr. Aronov : Sorry. Still learning names.
-
Ed Mercer : You know, I've done a pretty good job getting over all this in the past year, and I'm over it, so why don't you tell me what the hell you're doing here?
Kelly Grayson : I heard about your promotion. I also heard there was no XO available, and you know how the fleet admirals are. They don't like to see a captain on his own for too long. And I figured I'd wronged you so badly that if there was something good I could do for you, it'd help me atone in some way. So I requested a transfer. I literally bailed on my own crewmates to come here.
Ed Mercer : Well, you bailed on a whole marriage, so I imagine that was a piece of cake for you, huh?
-
Ed Mercer : Dr. Aronov, this is Captain Ed Mercer. We're about to start sending down your supplies.
Dr. Aronov : Actually, Captain, we... we don't need any supplies.
Ed Mercer : I... I don't understand. You requested these supplies yourself, yeah?
Dr. Aronov : I did. I'm sorry. I... I wouldn't have lied unless I had to. Please, come down to the surface. I will explain everything.
Kelly Grayson : [the transmission ends] This is really strange.
Ed Mercer : Yeah, it's a great way to start things off. Bortus, you have the conn. Lieutenant, you're with us.
John LaMarr : [Ed, Kelly, and Alara leave] Did you see that dog in the background licking his balls?
Gordon Malloy : First thing I saw.
-
Kelly Grayson : I have an idea.
Ed Mercer : What is it?
Kelly Grayson : Let's give him the device.
Ed Mercer : What?
Kelly Grayson : Dr. Aronov, can you preset the field to fire up at a specific intensity the moment the Krill activate it?
Dr. Aronov : I think so, but why?
Kelly Grayson : And the field can accelerate time a hundred years. Correct?
Dr. Aronov : Yes, it can.
Kelly Grayson : About how long it takes a redwood to grow.
[Ed remembers the redwood seed Dr. Aronov gave him earlier]
-
Ed Mercer : Alright, he's got a gun. We have something better.
Kelly Grayson : What?
Ed Mercer : Seatbelts.
