- Captain Dylan Hunt: What happened?
- Beka Valentine: You missed Tyr's cavalry act.
- Tyr Anasazi: They were playing Wagner. It's the most fun I've had in about six months.
- Lieutenant Jill Pearce: Well, let's see. I grew a rose garden. I memorized the Commonwealth Chronicles. Oh, and Earth opera.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Ah. I'm afraid I'm not very well-versed in ancient music.
- Lieutenant Jill Pearce: It's all right. It's Der fliegende Holländer. It's about a sea captain condemned to roam the seas eternally, without purpose. This is the overture. You can almost hear the waves swelling and... falling. You might say it's become my theme song. To roam the seas eternally... without purpose.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: What happened to the rest of the crew?
- Lieutenant Jill Pearce: Warrick took them all planetside. He left me alone. I hate being alone. I missed my human friends, my favourites. So I went into the DNA files and fabricated them. Did you ever meet Dutch?
- Beka Valentine: Next time I tell you about a derelict High Guard ship... tell me to go away.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: You were just trying to help. And I guess I was just trying to recapture the past.
- Beka Valentine: Yeah, well, you had it good back then. Mission briefs highlighted in three colours, smiles and spit-shines, saluting. If I'd grown up with that, I'd probably want it back, too.
- Rev Bem: Many of the Divine's gifts are like that. They're always there, but we don't appreciate them... until we need them.
- Dutch: You are a stubborn lad, aren't' you?
- Seamus Harper: Yeah. It's one of my more, say, charming qualities.

- Seamus Harper: [reading] "I know I'm supposed to meet you at Yoso Drift..." Here it comes. She met a guy. "But that was before I found out the mandelbrots are spawning on Onithone."
- Beka Valentine: Ah, Trance and her pets.
- Seamus Harper: [reading] "It only happens once a century, so I thought you might understand."
- Beka Valentine: Once a century? Wow, they get less action than you, Harper.
