- John Crichton: [on a suicide mission] How come I'm not afraid?
- Ka D'Argo: Fear accompanies the possibility of death. Calm shepherds its certainty.
- John Crichton: I love hanging with you, man.
- Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan: You went there to sell us out, Rygel.
- Dominar Rygel XVI: You bet your shiny blue ass I did.
- [Making an audio message to his father]
- John Crichton: One other thing, Dad... remember the day I left? You told me that every man has a chance to be his own kind of hero. Well, I don't think I'm ever comin' home so... won't get that ticker tape parade and... doubt that I'm ever gonna have kids so I won't get a chance to be a hero to them... but I think I know what you meant.
- [short laugh]
- John Crichton: I've got... a strange life here, Dad. It's different, but it's my own. I have people who... rely on me, people I care about, people who... mystify me and people who've become allies... friends... and people who teach me patience, and people who teach me... other things. Well, you said the time would come, and I think it has. I have a job to do and I am unafraid... that's what you said when they asked you what it was like to walk on the moon. You did good, Dad. You taught me well. This is John Crichton... somewhere in the universe.
- Dominar Rygel XVI: Look, I-I know I can be selfish, but given a chance I can usually...
- John Crichton: Do what? Do the right thing?
- Dominar Rygel XVI: Yes.
- John Crichton: Rygel, I figure the right thing starts at the beginning of the day, not after you've been caught.
- Ka D'Argo: I thought I would live much longer.
- Officer Aeryn Sun: I never thought I'd live this long.
- Officer Aeryn Sun: You are not the captain here!
- Ka D'Argo: No one is. It is anarchy and today it is MY day to rule!
- Captain Bailar Crais: Your intelligence would qualify significantly for promotion.
- Officer Aeryn Sun: Pity. I don't think a referral from you would mean anything now.
- Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan: The instant I committed murder, I sacrificed my right to exist. Since then, I view every microt as a generous yet undeserved gift from the Goddess.
- Captain Bailar Crais: Allow me to make a case for my value in these... negotiations, your highness.
- Dominar Rygel XVI: Hmm?
- [shoves Rygell head-first into his own bath water]
- Dominar Rygel XVI: You madman!
- Captain Bailar Crais: Do you know what this is?
- Dominar Rygel XVI: You madman!
- Captain Bailar Crais: This is your death certificate. Proof you expired.
- Dominar Rygel XVI: You're early. Come back tomorrow, huh!
- Captain Bailar Crais: I am not your reaper. Scorpius is. Did you really think you could strike an honest bargain with a Scarran half-breed like him? The moment Crichton is in custody, he's ordered your execution to show everyone what he thinks of traitors. Slow death.
- Dominar Rygel XVI: Why tell me?
- Captain Bailar Crais: Because, ironically, we find ourselves in similar situations. No matter what I do, I have no life beyond court-martial, incarceration, execution.
- Dominar Rygel XVI: You're not joking? I can have your possessions?
- John Crichton: If I die and you don't - yeah, have at it.
- Dominar Rygel XVI: Why?
- John Crichton: Well, you're a material kind of guy, Rygel. Have some material.
