Andromeda quotes

Gaiton

Are you Neitzschean?

Tyr

Are you an idiot?

Tyr

They are a confederacy of idiots awash in a garbage system. They even shoot lethal garbage at each other, that's what hit us, that's all they have.

Tyr

You're searching for water, while you're drowning in the depth of the sea. Your only love is enlightenment. Love, desire, enlightenment, revenge... these are not emotions, simply traps to ensnare your will.

We have long ago learned to overcome our emotions.

Tyr

But the will to overcome an emotion, is merely the will for some other emotion to triumph.

What does this mean?!

Tyr

Uh.. enlightenment... is not found in spiritual leaders or in [shrugs] meditation. Take care of your followers. Enlightenment will find you.

[bows awestruck, and leaves with his brethren]

Tyr

Anything to be rid of these clowns.

I gotta hand it to ya, boss. Nice performance. You out-conned a con-artist. You played the love-struck captain, the zealous defender of her honor, even the betrayed friend, and still... you completely fooled her.

Dylan

I only tricked her. I didn't fool either one of us.

Dylan

You're telling me your name is Constantine Stark.

[nods slightly] My troops refer to me as the Patriarch.

Dylan

Your troops, the Templars, a guerilla army founded after the fall of the Commonwealth.

Founded by an ancestor of mine, an Admiral Constanza Stark. You knew her, didn't you?

In short, Captain, [we've been] fighting the battles others can't.

Dylan

It's funny. That's usually my line.

Yes, great minds, Captain Hunt. Great minds.

Dylan

"The choice is yours."

So, is it the man's presumption that bothers you or the fact that he sounds like you?

Dylan

I'll let you in on a little secret. Those aphorisms I like to use? "The choice is yours," for example. I learned them all from Admiral Stark.

Dylan

Admiral Stark always said, "if your mother says she loves you, verify it."

Dylan

You know a lot about Tyr.

Sun Tzu - "Know thine enemy as completely as you know yourself and you will always be victorious."

Dylan

"That's my girl."

"I prefer warship."

Dylan

"I prefer girl."

Dylan

"Okay. Warship."

[to Rommie] You're an android, right? [holds out his hand] Tell me if I'm lying.

I am Admiral Constanza Stark.

Well, you're either telling the truth or you're a sociopath.

Intruding vessel, stand down and prepare to be boarded. You have 15 seconds to comply [breaks connection]

Tyr

Ship, how many missiles can we fire in 15 seconds?

Approximately three-thousand six-hundred.

Tyr

Communicate our desire to comply.

I wish I knew how to advise you, Captain. But, like I said, the Templars have friends. Invite them to the dance and we could wind up in a major Charlie Foxtrot.

We have arrived in Heimdall. I’m detecting several Genite scouts within our combat radius.

Tyr

Still licking their wounds, no doubt.

Beka

No doubt. And I’m more than happy to dump a little salt on them. Andromeda, offensive missiles, all tubes, full load out.

Offensive missiles are approaching the Genite formation.

Beka

Have they seen us yet?

That is uncertain.

Tyr

The suspense is killing me.

Beka

Oh, it’s not the suspense that’s gunna kill us.

Yeah, well, the suspense already owes me a fresh pair of shorts.

The Genites have detected us. They’re firing.

Beka

Defensive missiles; PDLs on standby!

Incoming hail from the Genites.

You clearly didn’t get the message the last time. I’m afraid you’ve left us no choice but to explain it to you—in excruciating detail.

The Genites are still with us, and more of them are inbound.

Beka

You know, you can never have too many Genites inbound. Time to slipstream.

Awaiting your order.

Beka

Consider yourself ordered. Let’s get the hell out of here.
