Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : Admiral, what do you want us to do?
Admiral Perry : You're to rendezvous with the Krill vessel Davoro'kos in 12 hours at Tarazed Three.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : The Davoro'kos.
Admiral Perry : Yes. It means "Bringer of Blood".
Capt. Ed Mercer : Oh, that's cool.

Capt. Ed Mercer : Every moment that I sit in that chair on the bridge, I'm always wondering, "Do I deserve this? I mean, should this be someone else?" And that's something I can never vocalize to any other member of the crew because they would lose confidence. I mean, I can talk to Kelly, but... that's been a little complicated lately. I count on you, man.
Lt. Gordon Malloy : Dude, you can always count on me. That's never gonna change. You're my best friend. Nobody's ever gonna come along and mess it up. I swear. I mean, maybe, like, a really hot girl, but other than that, it's rock-solid.

[Mercer and the Krill ambassador have signed a peace treaty]
Capt. Ed Mercer : I hope that this marks the beginning of a new era of nonviolence between our two peoples.
Ambassador K.T.Z. : We will see. A peace is only as strong as those who uphold it.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : And, of course, trust is earned.
Ambassador K.T.Z. : We agree on that, Commander.

Lt. Gordon Malloy : The right thing is to protect him; he's a Union officer - do your job!
Capt. Ed Mercer : I'll let you know when I figure out what that is.

Capt. Ed Mercer : So basically all this guy's done is steal some pens from the office. What are we missing?

Capt. Ed Mercer : Run every red light.
Lt. Cmdr. John LaMarr : Yes, sir.

Capt. Ed Mercer : Listen, I just wanted to say, I'm sorry. It's not easy to have to put duty before friendship - especially when someone dies.
Lt. Gordon Malloy : Orrin died a long time ago, back in that Krill prison. The man who died in that shuttle was somebody else.
