Sadavir Errinwright quotes from The Expanse

Sadavir Errinwright

We need to talk about Eros. Mars and Earth may be busy pointing guns at each other, but those quarantine beacons won't keep people away from Eros forever. There's already a lot more do-gooders than we expected. Next will be the looters.

Then get rid of them.

Sadavir Errinwright

Yes. Of course. I'll sacrifice what's left of my credibility for a few short-term trinkets.

[chuckles] Sadavir! You're witnessing a discovery that could rewrite the story of humankind, but your imagination takes you as far as putting the boot heel to your former colony. [chuckles] This was Julie's spot. Far from the house, where no one could find her. Where she could find her adventures. She taught herself to shoot a bow and arrow at this tree. Nine years old. Just woke up one morning, and taught herself. My Julie. Even losing her was worth it. She's a sacred part of it now. So don't talk to me about sacrifice ever again.

You okay, Dad?

Sadavir Errinwright

I never really did tell you that I was sorry that I had to leave your mother. You know, you're at an age now when time is just gonna... You're just going to put your head down and "Whoosh." And all the old farts like me, we're all going to be telling you this is how you do it and this is the path you take. We're all going to be experts on how you should grow up. But there's only one thing that I need to tell you. And it's the simplest thing. But it's the hardest thing to remember. Listen to your heart. No matter what. It'll always be the right call.

Errinwright

How did you get that?

[Hidden from sight until now] Does that matter? Let's call it an act of god...

You're not even gonna deny it?

Errinwright

I meant every word I said.

You just admitted to treason!

Errinwright

[To Ana] Was he always like that?

Like what?

Errinwright

Spineless, weak, dignified face with nothing behind it?

You're finished!

Errinwright

He doesn't care about treason. That's just him parroting you because you talked to him last. If he spoke to a janitor, he'd be passionately declaiming about a fucking mop! It's agonizing! I've lost count of how many times I've stopped him from blundering into political suicide, and now we have a chance to assure the future of the earth, and he's shitting himself because he's afraid the history books won't be flattering enough!
