Trance quotes from Andromeda

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?

[to Trance] Aren't you dead?

Trance

I got better.

Huh. Lucky you.

Trance

Alcohol doesn't affect me the same way it does you.

Beka

Yeah, right, like that time on Diphda 5. Next, you'll tell me you've got a hollow leg.

Trance

No, but I know where to get one.

Yeah, sure, that explains everything. No chance that they've been left alone because they're a bunch of cannibals, or killer robots, or…

Trance

Harper!

What? You're gonna say I'm wrong? C'mon, every single High Guard remnant we've encountered has been psychotic, evil, or both… Present company excluded, of course.

Dylan

Of course.

Beka

Trance! You will never guess who I just met!

Trance

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

Dylan

Trance, are you dead or alive?

Trance

Yes.

Dylan

Crystal clear, as usual.

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

How long has the Vedran been here?

Since the fall.

Trance

The Fall of the Commonwealth?

Since the autumn, nine months ago.

Dylan

How do we get people to stop believing in a myth they've believed in for centuries?

Trance

By getting them to believe in that other myth.

Dylan

What's that?

Trance

The one about the High Guard captain flying around the universe, making allies, restoring the Commonwealth.

Dylan

Oh, I don't think they'll ever believe in that one.

Dylan

Anyone can have their cake, and then eat it. The real trick is eating your cake, and still having it. It's a common mistake.

Trance

We did. You could even say we had our cake outside of the box and ate it too.

Trance

Are we still outside the box?

Dylan

Trance, we're so far outside the box, we can't even see the box.

Trance

It's an invitation. Whatever it is it wants to play, to fight, or make love with us.

Dylan

RSVP.

Dylan

Why is it we look for luck every time we're in danger?

Because that's when we need it most.

Dylan

Well, the thing about luck is... the balance changes.

Trance

What about fate?

Dylan

Fate is a hunter.

Trance, no offense, but I think we all remember what happened the last time you tried to pilot the slipstream. You took us back 300 years in time, into the middle of a humungous space battle where we, uh, fixed the course of history…

Trance

Lucky for us!
