Beka quotes from Andromeda

Beka

Hey, I read the first officer's job description. 'Playing Devil's Advocate' – it's on page three.

Beka

Your entire crew has an ulterior motive. Rev Bem wants to use your Commonwealth to spread his faith. Harper is in lust with your ship. Tyr is always plotting something, and God only knows what the purple one is up to. Does it really surprise you to find out that I'm no different?

Beka

Is that an order, Captain? My Captain? Oh, I forget. Actually, you're not a real Captain, are you? There's no High Guard. There's no commissioned officers. Who around here is an actual Captain? Don't, don't, don't tell me. Let me guess. It's coming to me, It's coming to me. Let's see, that would be me.

Beka

Ah, the Basilisk. Funny how no one ever names their planet-killer the "Fluffy Bunny".

Beka

Nietzschean first officers have been known to betray Captains.

Beka

Whoever said 'it's hard to chart a course for your future when your past and present keep colliding' sure knew what they were talking about.

Beka

I don't know if I'm getting the chills 'cause I'm shivering or if I'm shivering because I'm getting the chills.

Beka

It takes a minute to find something special in a person, an hour to appreciate them, and a day to love them. But it takes an entire life to forget them.

Beka

If I didn't miss all this, I swear I would.

Beka

If they're so good at business, why would the Nietzscheans attack? That's not good slave management.

Beka

Planet Earth, here we come.

Trance

Oh, he's the guy who retired. Didn't you say he bought a farm?

THE farm. Bought THE farm, Trance.

Trance

What's the difference?

Beka

Torn pressure suit and a bad emergency seal.

Trance

Oh, that IS different.

Beka

[after accepting Dylan's offer to become his crew] We're not saluting you, and we're not calling you Captain.

Dylan Hunt

Dylan. Dylan will be fine.

Dylan

I want Andromeda bucking like a drunken Vedran with a Nightsider on its back"

Beka

Sounds like my last date.

Dylan

You can tell us about that later.

Tyr

If the radiation is affecting me, then what do you suppose it's doing to Trance? To Harper? To you?

Beka

Tyr. Didn't know you cared.

Tyr

I care about survival. [Nonchalant] Do you?
