Matthew Gideon quotes from Crusade

Galen

If I'm right, this is definitely something you should see.

Gideon

And if you're wrong?

Galen

Oh well that hardly seems likely, now does it?

Matheson

There are probably some who'll say that by doing this, we are interfering with their culture.

Gideon

Probably. Screw them.

Gideon

No it's not! It's mating with us?

Galen

Well it's not exactly the first contact situation that I'd envisioned, but ...

Galen

Every technomage knows the fourteen words that will make someone fall in love with you forever, but she [Isabelle] only needed one.

Gideon

What word?

Galen

Hello.

Lochley

No, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Gideon

Of course. You're just holding up the wall in case of emergency.

Lochley

Yeah, well, I thought it looked kind of weak. I try and do my part.

Matheson

You're smiling.

Gideon

No, I'm not.

Matheson

With respect, sir ...

Gideon

It's gas. Look, who are you going to believe, me or my face?

Eilerson

IPX doesn't give paid holidays.

Gideon

For a cause like this, I think we'd all happily chip in.

Gideon

Granted, I'm a bit eccentric, as captains go.

Yeah. You gamble.

Gideon

Yeah.

Yeah. You cheat.

Gideon

That's subjective.

You never tell anyone the whole truth.

Gideon

And who does?

Lochley

Look, Captain, I didn't ask for this assignment. This whole Drakh virus conference was Dr. Stephen Franklin's idea. ... Now when Earthforce asked for an officer to oversee it, the good doctor put me at the top of his shortlist. Now, right now, my main goal is to find a cure for this so I can go Earthside and thank Stephen in person with a large brick.

Gideon

Well, there's incentive.

Lochley

Captain Gideon, 'security' happens to be my middle name.

Gideon

That's all well and good, but just in case your last name is 'breach' it won't hurt for me to double-check.

Lochley

You know what you are?

Gideon

Ruggedly handsome?

Lochley

A control freak.

Gideon

Can't I be both?

Lochley

Who was your old hero?

Gideon

Truthfully? John Sheridan.

Lochley

John Sheridan? No kidding.

Gideon

Were you ever under him?

Lochley

Can I be blunt?

Gideon

That's a trick question, right?

Gideon

You're telling me some guy actually managed to land you? Got you to lower your defenses enough to commit, and then let you get away? God, he must be the biggest loser in the galaxy.

Lochley

Oh, major loser. They don't come any bigger.

Gideon

Loser have a name?

Lochley

John Sheridan.

Lochley

Do you believe that there is a supreme being?

Gideon

Aside from John Sheridan?
