Reverend Will Dexter : Every day, here and at home, we are warned about the enemy. But who is the enemy? Is it the alien? Well, we are all alien to one another. Is it the one who believes differently than we do? No, oh no, my friends. The enemy is fear. The enemy is ignorance. The enemy is the one who tells you that you must hate that which is different. Because, in the end, that hate will turn on you. And that same hate will destroy you.

Reverend Will Dexter : You know, before I got married, Emily used to come by sometimes and help me clean out my apartment. Well, I asked her, "How come you're so eager to help clean up my place when your place is just as bad?" She said, "Because cleaning up your place helps me to forget what a mess I've made of mine, and - when I sweep my floor, all I've done is sweep my floor. But, when I help you clean up your place, I am helping you."

Reverend Will Dexter : I'd rather do something and make a mistake than be frightened into doing nothing. That's the problem back home. Folks have been conned into thinking they can't change the world. Have to accept what is. I'll tell you something, my friends, the world is changing every day. The only question is, who's doing it?

Reverend Will Dexter : I tell you, in 50 years of living and 40 years of serving the Lord I have never met a sorrier soul than Brother Theo here.
Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : Well, I wouldn't say...
Brother Theo : Thank you. But I'd prefer to leave judgments as to the state of my soul to someone better qualified and perhaps a bit less loud.
Reverend Will Dexter : But it says in the Bible to make a joyful noise unto the Lord.
Brother Theo : I've heard you sing, Will - and take my word for it: that is not what the good Lord meant when he said "a joyful noise"
Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : Hello?
Brother Theo : Neither is that.
