- Daniel Bernstein: What are you going to do with me, Steven?
- Steven: Send you where you'll serve us well.
- Daniel Bernstein: Where's that?
- Steven: Where else? On a serving platter.
- 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!
- Elizabeth Maxwell (Age 10): Pretanama.
- [Visitorese for 'Peace']
- Diana: It's not in our destiny.
- Elizabeth Maxwell (Age 10): Pretanama.
- Diana: NO!
- 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.
- Caleb Taylor: Elias...
- Elias Taylor: Look, Pop, I was just jokin' with the guys, I didn't mean nothin' by it -!
- Caleb Taylor: Right away you assume I'm gonna come down on you.
- Elias Taylor: Ain't that the way it's always been, huh?
- Caleb Taylor: Perhaps so... I disagreed with what you said at the meeting...
- Elias Taylor: So what's new?
- Caleb Taylor: - but you said it well. I was damn proud of you, son.
- Elias Taylor: Really?
- Caleb Taylor: Yes.
- [they hug, reconciled at last]
- Pamela: How did you find out about those raids? That's classified information.
- Diana: I'm entitled to know about the raids. The intelligence comes from a source I created.
- Pamela: You're entitled to information that pertains to the scientific aspects of our mission - nothing more.
- Diana: Then you're not taking the boy's report seriously?
- Pamela: [disdainful] It's not standard practice to base troop movements on the tattlings of a ten-year-old Earthling.
- Diana: I converted him myself. The information is reliable.
- Pamela: Well, I have serious doubts about your conversion process. However, I'll have someone look into it.
- Diana: When? The raids are scheduled for tomorrow.
- Pamela: You scientific types are so easily ruffled.
- Diana: And you military types are so predictable.
- [Takes out her gun and shoots Pamela and her guard]
- Diana: You rely on cunning, intrigue... I prefer the direct approach. Don't worry, dear Pamela, I'll do my scientific best to command your fleet. And tomorrow, I'll destroy the rebels! Consider this... an early retirement.
- [shoots Pamela in the stomach]
- 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!
- John: Pamela always said you were ambitious, but she underestimated you.
- Diana: You stupid, feeble man! If it hadn't been for me, you'd still be trying to decide where to land on this planet! You and your petty, idiotic intrigue, wondering who was in charge! *I* was in charge! I directed this entire operation, while you made pretty speeches! I had the power, and you wore the crown!
- John: [with contempt] A crown. It's yours now, Diana. Enjoy your reign.
- [walking away]
- John: Queen of a poisoned realm.
- [Diana shoots John in the back and kills him]
- 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!
