You're right. This might have been easier had we been able to follow your plan.
Damn! That was almost an apology!
It was nothing of the sort.

You're not so bad, as far as kludges go. I have to admit, I like you – I really do.
Enough not to kill me?
QQuechua
Well, no, but I promise to feel bad about it after.

Until now, all I cared about was Tyr, and what he stole from us. Now I care very much about you.
Well, you see, that's what the universe needs more of – people caring for each other. Have a good trip out.
Yeah, sure, that explains everything. No chance that they've been left alone because they're a bunch of cannibals, or killer robots, or…
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.
Of course.
You should never trust any Nietzschean… except me.

About this "Best Man" job…
Uh… yes?
Does it always involve drunken bachelor parties and half-naked dancing girls?
Pretty much, yeah.
In that case, I accept.

There are at least three good reasons you shouldn't let the Sabra-Jaguar Pride join your new Commonwealth: We are renowned for our treachery; we are at war with the Drago-Kazov Pride; and we will constantly remind you of your genetic inferiority. Now, here's the upside: We are renowned for our treachery; we are at war with the Drago-Kazov Pride; and, did I mention, we command the third-largest fleet in the known worlds.
And, in the case of an emergency, the ship can be piloted from the gunnery nose.
CCharlemagne
Emergency? You mean in the event that the Command Deck crew is reduced to a fine red mist and splattered across the walls in a bloody mural?
That would qualify, yes.
HHöhne
Fascinating! And do such emergencies happen with a degree of frequency, or are they a rare occurrence?
What would you like, Jaguar?

The usual: Hundreds of grandchildren, utter domination of known space, and the pleasure of hearing that all my enemies have died in terrible, highly improbable accidents that cannot be connected to me. And you?
[laughing] The usual.
This is Captain Dylan Hunt of the Andromeda Ascendant.
[gunfire]
Apparently, they've heard of you.
My prince, if you rely on people to play by the rules, your reign will be sad, violent, and short.
EErik
Our entire defense fleet…
Rommie, how long would it take for you to destroy that fleet?
6.2 seconds.
That long?
A Glorious Heritage class cruiser – like the Andromeda – could completely depopulate a world – like Ne'Holland – in under two minutes. More tea?
[Rommie uses planetary warfare pods to kill snipers]
EErik
You are just like Tyr!
No, I'm better.
