Greer quotes from Stargate Universe

I can't think of a better way to move on from - from this world into the next, or whatever comes, than to fly into the most powerful thing in all creation ... a star. Out in a blaze of glory. I like that. That's beautiful.

You're not taking over this ship again.

Rush, come check this out. Two thousand years on the other side of the universe... (tosses the pack to Rush) and beef jerky survives!

You think just because you were born poor, that gives you the right to be angry at the world! How pathetic!

Ooh, yeah, yeah. You think that's why I'm angry?

If it wasn't for the army, you'd be in jail, or worse.

Oh, that's what all you rich people think.

Rich?! My father worked in the shipyards in Glasgow! I earned a scholarship to Oxford while I was working two jobs! I have earned the right to make decisions without explaining myself to you or anyone else!

Eli

Why'd you do that?

He told me to.

I saved his life.

Eli

By shooting him?!

I read about these Chinese miners that survived a cave-in for six days by drinking their urine.

I'm going to go ahead and pretend I didn't hear that.

Yeah. You know what they ate? Coal.

Coal?

Yeah, that's a true story. I mean, don't get me wrong, it was pretty stupid. Almost killed them.

Sergeant?

They're fine. I went easy on em.

(holding a new fruit found on the planet) Yo, check this out. There's a whole grove of trees back there loaded with these things.

Hmm, looks like a kiwi. Take it back and do a...

I'll do one right now. (takes a bite out of the fruit)

Greer!

What the hell are you doing?

Oh, that's nice.

We don't even know if it's poisonous.

We will!

Hey! What's going on over here?

I'm not digging a latrine.

Is that what you told him to do?

Somebody's gotta do it.

True enough. Start digging.

What? No, you can't make me.

You too.

But, Sergeant, I've gotta...

You're gonna dig, OK? You're both gonna dig, and you're gonna love every moment of it or you will keep digging until you do.

You're gonna keep doing this, are you? Pushing me? Getting me to do something so you can lock me back up?

Back ... to your ... quarters.

Oh, you're talking tough. You're armed; you've got your men here covering you.

That's true! (Smiling, Greer hands his pistol to his colleague. Greer looks to the escort standing next to Simeon)

Dismissed.

You were saying?

Sir, I've been called a good man, a strong man ...

An angry man!

But I ain't never been called a best man. (smiles at Scott) Until now, huh?!

Looks like it's been through a battle.

And got its ass kicked.

So, we recharge off a different kind of star. What's so crazy about that?

Eli

The only way to make sure the drones won't be waiting will be to pick a star that Destiny wouldn't fly into in a million years.

Don't tell me. Death star.

(About exploring the ghost town) Thing is, these people left for a reason. We don't know what.

Have you ever been to Pittsburgh?

(Standing in front of a electronics store named "Draxxon Electronics," he sighs heavily) What kind of city doesn't have a gun store?

Maybe they're Canadian.
