Quotes

Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : This isn't gonna work.
Capt. Ed Mercer : You mean us.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : None of this should have happened. You defied an admiral's orders to protect me, and it sent our science officer into a 700-year exile. You and I, together... it jeopardizes your command. It jeopardizes the smooth operation of this ship, and it jeopardizes our friendship. It can't happen.
Capt. Ed Mercer : When I'm really honest with myself, I know that you're right. But that doesn't change the way I feel.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : I know. But for now, those are feelings we need to forget.

Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : Oh, my god. I forgot what a terrible cook you are.
Capt. Ed Mercer : It's awful, isn't it?
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : [laughing] Yeah.
Capt. Ed Mercer : It's terrible. See, you know, I was afraid of that, and I didn't want to use snythesized food tonight, so I made a backup.
[retrieving two plates]
Capt. Ed Mercer : Peanut butter and jelly is impossible to screw up.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : What are we, twelve?
Capt. Ed Mercer : Yes, we're twelve. And afterward, I'm gonna pull your hair and call you fat, and that's how you'll know I like you.

Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : [after Ed speaks to Admiral Ozawa] Why didn't you tell her?
Capt. Ed Mercer : You helped out a kid, that's all. And cultural contamination of a society that undeveloped is a serious charge. I just don't want to have to come visit you in prison.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : Really? You wouldn't want to visit a women's prison?
Capt. Ed Mercer : You're right. I'll call her back.
-
Capt. Ed Mercer : Kel, I'm sorry, but you can't blame yourself for any of this.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : I watched three people murdered in my name. Five others already dead. And a mother telling her child that if he misbehaved, "Kelly will get him." You're damn right I blame myself. And I'm forbidden to even try and fix it. I mean, how many more people are gonna die down there in the name of Kelly? Thousands? Millions?
Capt. Ed Mercer : If there's anything at all I can do...
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : No. Just... I want to be alone.
-
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : Hey. You awake, too?
Capt. Ed Mercer : Yeah. Can't sleep. They were wrong about the Opsadda. It does come out.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : What?
Capt. Ed Mercer : Nothing.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : My god, what happened to your hand?
Capt. Ed Mercer : Oh, this. I was playing a Mochlan game with Bortus. What's insane is apparently I won.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : You should go down to sickbay and get that fixed.
Capt. Ed Mercer : The explanation for how this happened is not something I want on file.

Admiral Ozawa : [over transmission] You're not to return to the surface before then. That's an order.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : But, Admiral, maybe we could convince them...
Admiral Ozawa : That's an order.
Capt. Ed Mercer : [after a brief pause, pulling faces, mocking voice] That's an order.
Admiral Ozawa : What?
Capt. Ed Mercer : Oh my God, I'm sorry! I thought you hung up. I'm so- Oh, God. I'm so sorry, please. Admiral, have mercy, please, thank you. Okay. Bye.
