- Korshunov: With all due respect, madam, where are you going with this?
- Chrisjen Avasarala: Wherever I goddamn like.
- Chrisjen Avasarala: One last thing. I'd like to speak to Sergeant Draper again. I have a few questions. Just little things I need her to clarify.
- Korshunov: Madam, this has been an exhausting session.
- Chrisjen Avasarala: I find it hard to believe that a Martian Marine would be fatigued from sitting in a chair.
- Dr. Iturbi: Space is a big, empty place. We might be too far apart, or perhaps they're just broadcasting the signals for too short a time.
- Colonel Janus: How convenient.
- Dr. Iturbi: Those things that we're looking for out there, those things might be signals.
- Colonel Janus: Or maybe all those other civilizations are gone. Maybe it's the nature of intelligent life to destroy itself.
- Dr. Iturbi: Well, I prefer to think that intelligent life can choose not to.
- Colonel Janus: More magical thinking.
- Colonel Janus: [talking about his childhood] I wanted to believe in magic.
- Dr. Iturbi: Well, you know, that's normal for a child, right?
- Colonel Janus: That's because children are stupid.
- Jim Holden: [on finding two specific people on Ganymede] Well, the first step is getting there. We'll leave the Somnambulist once we dock, and then we'll intermingle with the locals.
- Dr. Praxidike 'Prax' Meng: And then?
- Jim Holden: Then we'll assess the situation and take it from there.
- Dr. Praxidike 'Prax' Meng: Your plans always this vague?
- Amos Burton: This is about average.
- Dr. Praxidike 'Prax' Meng: You all must be very lucky.
- Amos Burton: We've certainly had our fair share.
- Jim Holden: Hey!
- Captain Martens: Earth's gravity is hell on the Martian physique. You need to take one dose of each of these every day. A blood-ox booster, Muscle fatigue inhibitor, and this is Osteo-x, which is a rapid bone-density enhancer.
