There was one guard. I don't remember her face. She never told me her name. She told me a legend about how Sebaceans once had a god called... Djancaz-bru. Six worlds prayed to her. They built her temples, conquered planets and yet, one day she still rose up and destroyed all six worlds. And when the last warrior was dying, he... he said: 'We gave you everything. Why did you destroy us?' And, she looked down upon him, and she whispered... 'Because I can.'

S1 E15Unfinished Business
I've got a hum in my head, I'm gonna follow it.
Oh, you've got something in there, but it's not a brain.
With these wormholes, anything is possible. Somewhere the Cubs are winning the World Series.
TTrayso
A Luxan assistant?
Oh, yes. Luxans make fine pilots, exceptional bodyguards and superlative lovers
If the freighter escapes then we abandon all hope.
We abandon all hope of leading long and prosperous lives and we follow the freighter. (About Sikozu) She's still learning.
What about Scorpius?
What about him?
Well, he might have been captured!
Or killed.
We can only wish.
[In Crichton's head, he meets Harvey emerging from a coffin like Dracula]
Harvey? You're not dead.
Of course not. I am the undead.
That's not funny. The son of a bitch said he took you out of my head.
Scorpius? He upgraded me to Harvey 2.0. One of my many improvements: utter loyalty to Scorpius.
That's not an improvement.
Oh, but it is! His course is the correct one: eliminate Scarran threat!
You know, I don't give a damn about his agenda.
You must - go back for him.
Go back to sleep before I drive a stake through your heart!
Mankind's greatest contribution to the absurd. Thermonuclear bomb.
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.
AAhkna
Why do I doubt that?
Because you lack imagination.
What do you want?
"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.
That's not true.
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?
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.
AAhkna
Pay?
Yes, pay! Cash!
VVakali
He's crazy!
Isn't it fun?
Welcome to my cold war. Now... what am I offered for all the powers of the universe?
Hey! Let me ask you something. You short-faced Scarrans - you all look alike, y'know? But, uh, were you... were you, uh, down... down on the border station?
JJenek
Yes.
Then you were the one that, uh... that ordered Aeryn and me to be cut open?
[Jenek nods]
[chuckles] Yeah. I got another one for ya: do Scarrans have mivonks?
[She knees Jenek between the legs, only to collapse and clutch her knee in pain; another Scarran huffs with laughter]
JJenek
Yes. But they're not external.
A bargain is struck. However, an agreement requires trust, which thus far has been one-sided. Now you tell me what else you really want.
[after a moment's thought] When you wake up, in the morning, on your big Emperor bed and you listen... what do you hear? Do you hear the little Emperor birdies singing outside your window? Do you hear the Emperor wind whistling through the trees? Or do you hear people dying? Do you hear your friends begging for mercy? Do you hear doors being kicked in because people are hunting you? Do you hear the sound of your heart pounding in your ears? What I want, Santa Claus, for the rest of my life... I wanna wake up like an Emperor.
Your safety, guaranteed. In just a few arns.
Bill Gates can't guarantee Windows, how can you guarantee my safety?
With great effort... and great sincerity. Though at some point, my largesse will dissipate!
ESEmperor Staalek
Were you planning to leave?
Temporarily. Grayza called with another offer. But you had a riot going on, we didn't want to bother you, we decided to take our own car.
ESEmperor Staalek
I'm glad you didn't. Base defenses have been placed on highest alert. Any non-Scarran vessels will automatically be targeted and destroyed.
We're very lucky.
ESEmperor Staalek
We'll transport you to the carrier.
That's very kind.
ESEmperor Staalek
My pleasure. John.
Who's Stark?
Another lunatic with the wrong number of eyes.
Oh...
[as "Stark" enters] And there he is.
He's not. That... is a bioloid replica.
And how do you know that?
Stark would never torture me. Emperor Staleek replaced the real Stark with a bioloid, to fool Ahkna into believing he was real.
But you're actually working for Staleek.
So he believes.
Oh, I do admire your compartmentalisation of duplicity!
They're trying to override the overrides!
Duelling overrides. Don't you hate that?
What the hell's going on up there?
We couldn't override their override of our override.
