- [Passing a prison]
- T.J. Davenport: Just think about all of those frighteningly dangerous criminals.
- Bova: They're locked up. Usually, it's the ones that are free you have to worry about.
- Commander Seth Goddard: Radu, raise the shields.
- Radu: How do I do that?
- Commander Seth Goddard: I don't know.
- Bova: Rosie gets a nice chat with her parents, and what do I get? A holo-recording of my dad saying, "Hi, we're off-world right now, we'll be back... whenever."
- [About Catalina]
- Rosie: I keep warning her not to over do her sonic practicing. She'll blow a vocal chord or something.
- Harlen Band: yeah, well that's one of the dangers when you're hooked on sonics.

- Commander Seth Goddard: That's ridiculous.

- Thelma: All right. When shall I schedule them?
