Commandant Mele-On Grayza quotes from Farscape

Grayza

Remember me?

John

Oh yeah, I remember a couple of things.

Crichton

Now, before anybody decides to get clever, you should know I have multiple dead man's sensors from every culture on my ship and a few cultures I haven't heard of. My heart stops, we all go boom. My heart speeds up, it's boom again. Too hot, too cold, too happy, too sad, thirsty, hungry, bored, it's John Lee Hooker time. Boom, boom, boom. (to the Scarran contingent) And you try your little psychic trick, kaboom, and we're all pushin' up day-glo daisies.

Why do I doubt that?

Crichton

Because you lack imagination.

What do you want?

Crichton

"What do I want?" "What do I want?" I have not been chasing my ass all over the galaxy trying to pull out chunks of my brain. I have not been sneaking fembots and Skreeths into the places where I live. You want something! You. You want what's inside my head. You want what I know about wormholes. Because I can leap tall galaxies in a single bound! I can scorch planets with a wave of my hand, and you and you and you... you can't do jack.

Grayza

That's not true.

Crichton

Oh really? You command the stars to do your bidding? I know you can't. (to the Kalish) And you can't. (to the Charrids) And you can't. (back to Grayza) And you won't. But I have.

Then why are you here?

Crichton

Because I... am an American. And what does an American want? Democracy? Capitalism! I want to sell out and settle down! For one day only, it's a blue-light special on aisle three! My wormhole technology, and a free set of steak knives, for all the tea in China. And anything you can imagine to pay me.

Pay?

Crichton

Yes, pay! Cash!

He's crazy!

Aeryn

Isn't it fun?

Crichton

Welcome to my cold war. Now... what am I offered for all the powers of the universe?

Grayza

How dare you? Who do you think you are?

Captain Meeklo Braca, Officer of the Fleet, Peacekeeper Interplanetary Service.

Grayza

Oh. Nobody.

Grayza

You came in here big and bold, dancing on tabletops. And look at you now, begging for scraps.

Crichton

I may be jammed, possibly dead. But I am not begging; you can get that fantasy out of your head.

Grayza

In my hands, you can have peace! I can have peace!

I have been in your hands! There's no peace there - just power.

Grayza

You are so self-righteous! I have used all my skills, all my resources, for one perfect chance at peace! And because of you, it is gone! And I am...

Crichton

Frelled? Screwed? Raped? Welcome to the universe, Commandant.
