Quotes 

• Caleb Taylor : [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 Tyler : As many times as I can!

  Caleb Taylor : No, I got a better idea.

  [knocks out Daniel with a pistol-whipping to the back of his head] 

  Ham Tyler : That's it?

  Caleb Taylor : Trust me!

• Robert Maxwell : Look, the man's just presented his side of the argument!

  Ham Tyler : There IS no argument! We either win, or we lose! There's no in-between!

  Robert Maxwell : 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!

  Juliet Parish : [tiredly]  We're not fighting the same war anymore. The rules have changed now, it's escalated way out of control.

  Chris Farber : Yeah, see... war has a tendency to do that, ma'am.

• Ham Tyler : The Visitors came here to suck us dry. When they're finished with this planet, they're gonna take it like an empty beer can and toss it over their shoulder.

  Juliet Parish : 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] 

  Juliet Parish : We've got to think of another way!

  Elias Taylor : [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.

  Juliet Parish : 'Last' is exactly right.

  Elias Taylor : [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.

• Ham Tyler : [Before pouring a bag full of Red Dust on Steven]  Say goodnight, hotshot.

• Robert Maxwell : We discovered this hybrid bacterium, it's what killed the baby reptile. Now, it's also found in Elizabeth's GI tract but doesn't seem to affect her.

  Mike Donovan : How does it affect us?

  Juliet Parish : We don't know, we don't even know if it is dangerous to the Visitors. The twin was a mixture of the two species.

  Ham Tyler : So what we've got is something as potentially dangerous as nerve gas or as harmless as baby food.

  Juliet Parish : That's right

  Mike Donovan : We need to test this stuff.

  Willie : [Willie walks into the laborotory]  It is time to feed them.

  Juliet Parish : Okay, go on.

  Willie : [Waves and smiles at Tyler]  Hello.

  Ham Tyler : [Tyler with a massive grin]  Hi.

  Mike Donovan : No way!

  Ham Tyler : Why not?

  Juliet Parish : Oh, come on, even you wouldn't do something like that.

  Ham Tyler : In a cage, out of a cage, what's the difference?

• Ham Tyler : You're the punk who killed Ruby, huh? You like hurting little old ladies, eh punk?

  Daniel Bernstein : She was a spy, and I'm proud of what I did.

  Caleb Taylor : Are you gonna kill him?

  Ham Tyler : As many times as I can!

• Ham Tyler : [the red dust was just successfully tested on Brian. Now Ham and Mike are wondering if it's safe for humans] 

  [referring to Daniel] 

  Ham Tyler : Too bad we didn't bring our little brown shirt along. Now we're gonna have to find another guinea pig.

  Mike Donovan : You can't just pick someone out at random. That would be murder.

  Ham Tyler : There are plenty of collaborators out there. How about your mother?

  Mike Donovan : That's cheap!
