Quotes 

• [Tendi is examining the exhibits on Kerner Hauze's collection vessel. She comes upon a headpiece with many dangerous-looking spikes all over it] 

  Ensign D'Vana Tendi : Kahless's Fornication Helmet. Oh, that's fun. Safety first!

• [Capt. Freeman is becoming anxious because she's trying NOT to micro-manage the away team] 

  Commander Jack Ransom : Captain, it's okay if you want to check in on Lt. Kayshon.

  Captain Carol Freeman : No, no, no, no.

  [chuckles] 

  Captain Carol Freeman : I can be a hands-off captain. I don't mind.

  Ensign Barnes : Captain, two escape pods just launched from the collector's ship.

  Captain Carol Freeman : What? On screen.

  [Rutherford and Tendi appear on screen, from a cramped escape pod] 

  Captain Carol Freeman : [to Rutherford and Tendi]  What the hell is going on?

  Ensign Sam Rutherford : The ship tried to collect us, Captain.

  Captain Carol Freeman : Where's Kayshon?

  Ensign D'Vana Tendi : [sheepishly, speaking in Tamaran metaphor and holding up the puppet Kayshon]  Kayshon, when he became a puppet.

• [the away team escaped from one dangerous room, and has entered a room with a collection of skeletons, including a giant humanoid skeleton wearing a TOS-era blue commander's uniform hanging from the ceiling. Mariner sees Siggi, who left them to fend for themselves in the previous room] 

  Ensign Beckett Mariner : [sarcastically]  Hey! Thanks for helping out back there. You couldn't lend a frickin' tentacle?

  Collector Siggi : Get your lousy hands off me.

  [Walks away, as Kayless's Fornication Helmet falls out of Siggi's vest] 

  Ensign D'Vana Tendi : [gasp]  . Kayless's sex helmet?

  [angrily] 

  Ensign D'Vana Tendi : You took it! That's what set off the ship! This is all your fault, you pervert!

  [nicely] 

  Ensign D'Vana Tendi : No judgment.

  Collector Siggi : Oh, save it, Orion. I don't got to answer to nobody but me.

  [dons helmet] 

  Collector Siggi : That's how I got on top, that's how I'm staying on top.

  [Starts backing away from the away team towards a laser beam sensor along the floor] 

  Lieutenant Jet : Don't move.

  Collector Siggi : [scoffs]  I'm done listening to youse.

  [he crosses the laser beam, an alarm blares, and the giant skeleton drops from the ceiling right on top of Siggi] 

  Ensign Sam Rutherford : [gasp]  Maybe his helmet saved him?

  [the giant's skull falls on top of the rest of the skeleton, decidedly finishing off Siggi]
