Beka quotes from Andromeda

Beka

Uh, Dylan, now would be the time for one of those crazy, desperate, this-just-might-work ideas.

Dylan

Oh, I've got one, I was just hoping I wouldn't have to use it.

Beka

Trance! You will never guess who I just met!

Trance

A scary futuristic version of yourself? She went that way.

Trance

She can't tell you.

Beka

Why? Why can't I tell him?

Trance

Because if you tell him, Tyr will die.

Tyr

Then, by all means, leave me in suspense.

Dylan

The Engine of Creation is a myth. It's like the Holy Grail of ancient Earth, or the Wyvern's Hoards of Gehenna Mortis.

Beka

Or a restored Commonwealth.

Dylan

[laughs, insincerely] That's not funny.

Beka

He never came back.

Dylan

But you have a different plan?

Beka

My plan is to come back.

Dylan

That's a good plan.

Dylan

They're not butchers, just very strange lovers.

Beka

Yeah, he's totally controlling, and she's this sexy, shoot-from-the-hip kinda gal. What could they possibly have in common?

Dylan

Well, Harper always says that opposites attract.

Beka

That's just his excuse to meet women. Everyone's the opposite of Harper.

Dylan

So, if the Genite attacks are fake, then Tyr is working with the Drago-Kazovs? Nah, I don't buy it.

Beka

But you buy the "warm and fuzzy" Tyr, concerned for his fellow Nietzscheans?

Dylan

No, I didn't say that.

The Commonwealth is still hailing us, and they're mad. They say this is the last warning.

Tyr

That's what they said five "last warnings" ago.

Beka

They're waiting for authorization. God bless bureaucracy!

Dylan

If the Commonwealth we built is worth anything, we have to trust it to do what's right. We have to have faith in somebody other than us.

Beka

And if that faith is misplaced?

Dylan

Well, then we have bigger problems than your Uncle Sid.

Beka

You know, ever since we reestablished the Commonwealth, I've been wondering; is it really necessary that we risk life and limb every time somebody gets in trouble?

We're the good guys, Beka. We fight the bad guys.

Beka

Good news for you, Harper – it doesn't eat humans.

Yeah, too bad it doesn't eat Nietzscheans!

Dylan

Beka, reverse full!

Beka

Running away – I can live with that.

In fact, I can't live without that!

Beka

We're not dead!

Don't be so surprised.

Beka Valentine, you are an excellent pilot. If I didn't know any better, I'd mistake you for a Nietzschean.

Beka

Thanks... I think!

Please tell me that you always looked at me as a friend and not as a father figure, because that would make this wrong on so many levels.

Beka

Father figure? No, more like a sexy older brother… Sexy older brother of a friend, which makes this not wrong at all.
