Beka quotes from Andromeda

Tyr

My people have a legend about the Battle of Witchead. They say that the Nietzschean forces arrived here with overwhelming numbers. Their victory seemed assured. But then, in the critical hour, the Angel of Death appeared, summoning forth the Fires of Hell. The Nietzschean fleet was struck down. Crippled. Their glorious victory turned to ashes.

Beka

You knew all along?

Tyr

[to Dylan] I've never seen an angel before.

Dylan

I like them.

Beka

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

It's a teleporter… It scans you, destroys you, transmits you through the projector, and then rebuilds you from the particles up. Hilarity ensues.

Beka

I think Mr. Heisenberg would object.

Beka

Careful, Harper. That is one of Trance's plants.

I know.

Beka

She loves them.

I know.

Beka

She gives them names.

Trust in the Harper, the Harper is good. It goes in here... [Plant disappears] ...and it comes out there. [Plant reappears and explodes]

Beka

I believe she called that one "Walter".

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.

Beka

What if they start shooting? How am I supposed to run in a dress?

Good heavens! What kind of dinner parties have you been to?

Interplanetary pitchman, Seamus Harper.

Beka

I'm sorry. Was that Seamus or "Shameless" Harper?

C'mon baby, gimme some sugar. [Beka extends a forcelance] What the hell is that?

Beka

Sugarcane.

Beka

Trance, do not let him buy you off with a backrub. This is Sam Profit we're dealing with.

Trance

I think you're just cranky from the gravity. Why don't you just think of it as a way of decreasing his corporate resources? [to the masseur] Now, let's start with the tail.

Sid

Tell me about Ignatius. I..I'm really sorry that I missed his funeral.

Beka

You didn't miss much. "Eject cargo pod: Yes/No"

Beka

You missed Tyr's cavalry act.

Tyr

They were playing Wagner. It's the most fun I've had in about six months.

Beka

So, what's the verdict?

Tyr

He's dead.

Beka

Yeah, I meant what killed him?

Tyr

What didn't kill him? We've got stab wounds, laser and radiation burns, this appears to be some sort of residual neurotoxin. And these pinpoint wounds, I've never seen anything like them.

Beka

Weird. Perseids can be annoying, but this is just ridiculous.

Beka

So, what you're saying is that you randomly chose a bunch of human female features, you mixed them all up, and this was the first face that you came up with?

I may have experimented with a few options.

Beka

Define "a few".

170,894

Beka

I knew it!

Beka

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

Dylan

Because it has seatbelts.

Dylan

Well, here's the happy groom now. I feel like I should have prepared a toast.

Beka

I think I've got one: Here's to Gabriel. Be nice to Rommie, or I'll rip your head off.
