Dylan Hunt quotes from Andromeda

Dylan

I like them.

Beka

Yeah, but you like everyone, even people who try to kill you... especially people who try to kill you.

Dylan Hunt

Eureka Maru, permission to land.

Tyr

[realizing what must've happened] Dylan.

Beka

You know, I'm really starting to like that guy.

[Regarding a list of much-needed but expensive parts for the Andromeda] OK, I can get most of this stuff, but we'll have to rig for a quick getaway.

Harper –

Dylan

Harper, we're not gonna steal anything.

Thank you.

Tyr

Well, what would you suggest?

Dylan

There's an old Earth custom, Tyr. It's called a garage sale.

Tyr

What's a garage?

Tyr

I think it's quite possible she may have taken advantage of your generosity and gone back into business for herself.

Dylan

Because that's what you would do?

Tyr

Not after warning you.

Tyr

These aren't the old days.

Dylan

Not yet, but I'm working on it.

Dylan

Where am I?

Confess.

Dylan

I confess, I don't know where I am.

Dylan

People are dying. We have to do something.

Fine. Then lets find Ferrin and put one [bullet] through his head. Problem solved.

Dylan

You see, this is why I am in charge.

In light of his mercy, do you have anything to say to us?

Dylan

I think we're all a little tired of my name, rank, and serial number.

Trance

There are all kinds of futures! I can...anyone can forsee any number of possibilities, all of which are constantly diverging. Contingencies arise, imperatives vanish, and all the while we tread our way through chaotic uncertainty never knowing which of hundreds of possible realities we'll find ourselves in.

Dylan

Trance. Which way?

Trance

Left.

Trance

There are 1,342,063 others [possible futures] and some of them, some of them are really great. There's even the mathematical possibility that everything will turn out perfectly.

Dylan

Can you control that?

Trance

No. Life is chaos. Chaos is life. Control is an illusion.

Dylan

[Reading from Trance's report about the mission] "I looked for you, I found out where you were, I traveled to where you were, and I got you out." That's your entire report?

Trance

You wanted something more?

As Harper would say, "that would suck."

Dylan

You know, Rev, there are some words that should never trip across the tongue of a Magog, and "suck" is one of them.

I'll make a note of that.

Dylan

I gave my word to your pride. My word is the foundation of the Commonwealth.

Elssbett

I have never met anyone who thought like that... Probably because the universe kills them before they can reproduce.

Beka

So, why is it, whenever anyone goes on a suicide mission, they take my ship?

Dylan

Because it has seatbelts.

Elssbett

After the way I've treated you, how can you care what happens to me?

Dylan

I care because I'm human.
