Andromeda quotes

Trance

Umm, hi, guys, this is Trance. Umm, I just... You know how sometimes things happen that you can't quite predict and sometimes they're good and sometimes they're not, well, this is one of those "not" times. Help.

Dylan

People are dying. We have to do something.

Fine. Then lets find Ferrin and put one [bullet] through his head. Problem solved.

Dylan

You see, this is why I am in charge.

In light of his mercy, do you have anything to say to us?

Dylan

I think we're all a little tired of my name, rank, and serial number.

Trance

There are all kinds of futures! I can...anyone can forsee any number of possibilities, all of which are constantly diverging. Contingencies arise, imperatives vanish, and all the while we tread our way through chaotic uncertainty never knowing which of hundreds of possible realities we'll find ourselves in.

Dylan

Trance. Which way?

Trance

Left.

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.

What is it you humans say? Take me to your leader.

VX, I have learned many things from interfacing with humans. Including one particulary useful phrase. "Go To Hell".

[to Trance] Aren't you dead?

Trance

I got better.

Huh. Lucky you.

There are two kinds of people in this universe, Mr Harper. The kind with loaded guns and the kind who open doors. You open doors.

Trance

When you think about it, beautiful things can change the universe.

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.

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.
