Have you seen Alak and Christie?
Not yet. They're probably inside.
If your wife has harmed them, she will die an excruciating death.
And if she hasn't harmed them?
Same outcome.
S3 E1The World We Seize
General Tak, may I ask what business you have in Defiance?
RTRahm Tak
You may, indeed. I'm going to kill all the humans and burn the disgusting place to the ground.
I've got a ticket on tomorrow's land coach. Thought I'd try my luck out west.
This town needs you.
What this town needs is a sensitively worded obituary.
RTRahm Tak
I know I'm not supposed to take this job personally, but I must admit, I'm going to enjoy this campaign. I mean, the very idea of Defiance turns my stomach. I don't know how you two lived there. You know, I think I will hook a cable to that arch and pull the whole thing to the ground. Perhaps they'll put a statue of me in its place.
That is a beautiful dream.
RTRahm Tak
Was that sarcasm? Because I assure you, Favi Tarr, my aspirations are achievable. I am not a delusional man.

[in Casti] When heaven falls to Earth, peace shall reign -
RTRahm Tak
Yeah, yeah. Boring, boring. Do you know who I am?
QMQuentin McCawley
Rahm Tak. I'm on your side. I worked as a spy for the Collective. I assassinated Earth Republic Ambassador Tennety.
RTRahm Tak
What did you say your name was?
QMQuentin McCawley
Quentin McCawley.
RTRahm Tak
McCawley. McCawley, McCawley, McCawley, McCawley, McCawley, McCawley. Never heard of you.
[Tak abruptly shoots Quentin in the head; Rafe screams in grief]
RTRahm Tak
[to Rafe] Oops. Was that your son?
S3 E2The Last Unicorns
Doc, she's half dead.
An optimist would say she's half alive. Chain her up.
RTRahm Tak
Consider sweet Lieutenant Bebe, an Indogene who wore a human skin to infiltrate a shopping mall, killing hundreds of humans. His skin is heroic. I call it poetry. We shall seize their human language, their land, their clothes, the very skin on their faces. Everything in this world is ours for the taking. Manifest Destiny.
RTRahm Tak
So I am trying to decide how best to put you both to work for the Votan cause.
Anything to serve the Collective, General.
RTRahm Tak
Good, good, because you, Datak, are going to be a saboteur for the Votanis Collective. You are gonna help me bring that odious little town to its knees.
If I may, General without me there to calm him, my husband is prone to fits of intemperate anger.
RTRahm Tak
You're saying I should send you both?
It might help you achieve the objective you desire.
RTRahm Tak
Here's the thing, Stahma, you and your husband are a pair of treacherous snakes. If I release you both, you'll disappear into the woodpile, and I won't get what I want. So I think it's best for everyone if we set some simple ground rules. You, Datak, will go to Defiance. You'll carry out assignments that I give you. Anytime you refuse an assignment or fail or displease me in any way, I will cut a piece off of your wife's beautiful body. And over time, that can add up to one ugly bitch. So do as I say.
[over the body of a child murdered by the female Omec] Is it inconsiderate to say I told you so? I never know the rules for that. [standing] Raised by wolves...

You're not funny.
50 million Elvis fans can't be wrong.
The McCawleys may have been human, but they were our humans. Rafe was shot down like a dog. He deserved better.
And Christie? Make me a weapon too. Better we die together, don't you think?
I'll get to work.
