Ham TylerI like to get everyone's attention. That way, I don't have to repeat myself.
[Before pouring a bag full of Red Dust on Stephen]
Ham TylerSay goodnight, hotshot.
[Referring to Ham Tyler]
Are there many more like him?
Fortunately, selective breeding keeps their population to a minimum.
Ham TylerYou know, from this distance I could almost cut him in half.
Anything more than a flesh wound and you get the same.
Ham TylerYou know, if you let them live, Gooder, they're gonna breed.
I prefer them to you.
HamI may bring the neighborhood down, but they'll eat it!
[During the capture of Brian at the Maxwell residence, Ham is about to thrust a broken bottle in Daniel's face as revenge for killing Ruby. Caleb holds him back.]
Are you gonna kill him?
Ham TylerAs many times as I can!
No, I got a better idea. [knocks out Daniel with a pistol-whipping to the back of his head]
HamThat's it?
Trust me!
[The Resistance are debating whether to use the Red Dust following Martin's revelation that the LA Mothership could be primed to self-destruct, taking Earth with it]
Look, the man's just presented his side of the argument!
Ham TylerThere IS no argument! We either win, or we lose! There's no in-between!
No! No! Because we're not talking about just the people here in this room! Look, be real clear, people: if we lose, then the WHOLE DAMN WORLD loses!
[tiredly] We're not fighting the same war anymore. The rules have changed now, it's escalated way out of control.
Yeah, see...war has a tendency to do that, ma'am.
TylerThe Visitors came here to suck us dry. When they're finished with this planet, they're gonna take it [gestures] like an empty beer can and toss it over their shoulder.
Nobody's calling them good guys, Tyler. No one's appealing to their better nature. You can't win a war if you're extinct! [she turns in appeal to the group] We've got to think of another way!
[very quietly] There is no other way. There's no time. Look, if Martin knows about the Red Dust, then you can believe Diana does, too - and if she doesn't, then she will in a few days. Hey...hey, as...as ragged an' as ordinary as this little bunch is...we're the last shot before the buzzer.
'Last' is exactly right.
[louder] Now if we attack - if we attack, at least we got a fightin' chance. We do nothing, we're signin' this planet's death warrant.
