Rev quotes from Andromeda

...But you did go an hour without killing me. And if you can go an hour, maybe you can go a day, then a week. And then maybe, just maybe, a lifetime.

While I admit the universe does have a sense of humour, I doubt very much that this is a joke.

Give me the strength to follow the path. To give and not to count the cost. To struggle, and not to heed the wounds. I am the darkness become the light. I am the darkness become truth. I am the darkness become The Way.

We saved paradise, by introducing the serpent.

Who does he think he is?

I assume he thinks he's a Neitzschean.

Hello Tyr. Have you come to join me in meditation?

Tyr

Meditation is for weak people with troubled minds. Is your mind troubled?

You have an interesting way of starting a philosophical discussion.

Dylan

Any of your prayers been answered, Rev?

Many, just not today.

[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?

I've discovered something disturbing about Lt. Pearce.

What, that she's a psychotic android with a grudge?

I was going to say that she's not on the crew manifest.

You need the one thing that all of your knowledge cannot provide... Wisdom.

Wisdom. Great. Show me the yellow brick road, Mr Wizard. How do I get wisdom?

Let go, Harper. Let go. Give over to The Divine. All that you are. All that you have. Including your pain. Calm your breath. Repeat. My pain belongs to the divine. It is like air. It is like water.

My pain belongs to the divine. It is like the air. It is like the water.

Good. Again.

My pain belongs to the divine. It is like air. It is like water. It's like a freakin' freight train running through my brain. You sure this works?

Harper. Think of hunger. Think what is must be like to go days, even weeks without food. Now, imagine what it would be like to know that in the midst of that starvation, you could eat, feast, satiate your hunger. But only by killing the people that you love. That is my pain. It is with me each day. My pain belongs to the Divine. It is like air. It is like water.

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.

If the universe is a manifestation of the Divine, could not the slipstream be the very mind of God?

Dylan

Well, if that's the case, then I'm afraid God had a seizure and forgot all about Tarn-Vedra.

Beka

And here comes God's little brain surgeon.

Tyr

Reverend Behemiel! [Slaps Rev] You dead?

Tyr Anasazi of the Kodiak Pride. Clearly I am not in heaven.

Tyr, have you ever wished that all your yearning for power and empire would just be silent for a moment? Have you ever wished this? A moment of peace?

Tyr

I am at peace. That's what bothers me.

Dylan, the doors!

Dylan

Open says me. [fires guns]

Dylan

Now there Rev, that's the way.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Dylan

You like it?

Uh-huh, uh-huh. (This refers to the song That's the Way (I Like It))
