- Tyr Anasazi: I have faith in nothing but this - when the universe collapses and dies, there will be three survivors - Tyr Anasazi, the cockroaches, and Dylan Hunt, trying to save the cockroaches.
- Beka Valentine: Authorization code "shut up and do what I tell you."
- Maru Computer: Authorization confirmed.
- Seamus Harper: I just came here to apologize. I'm sorry. It won't happen again. Please, please don't give me the boot.
- Dylan Hunt: Well that's strike two. One more and you're out.
- Seamus Harper: Strike two? What was strike one?
- Dylan Hunt: Careful - forgetting strike one is enough to be strike three.
- Seamus Harper: Right. Now I remember strike one. That won't happen again either.
- Dylan Hunt: Dismissed.
- Seamus Harper: [to himself as he leaves] What was strike one?
- Rommie: [after Harper leaves] Dylan, what was strike one?
- Dylan Hunt: Well, there wasn't one, but he works better under pressure.
- Trance Gemini: What does a Nietzschean mother hope for her son when she names him Gengis Stalin?
- Andromeda: He's said to be a delightful conversationalist.
- [Watching two aliens fall to their deaths after being thrown off a bridge]
- Tyr Anasazi: Mine hit first.
- Dylan Hunt: Yours was fatter.
- Tyr Anasazi: Your willingness to defy the universal odds is a disease that apparently we have all contracted.
- Rommie: I just want a day where I can build missiles and tweak fire control in peace.
- Beka Valentine: We need to find you a hobby.
- Rommie: That IS my hobby.
- Trance Gemini: And they even have a guild devoted entirely to the art of abdomen dancing.
- Dylan Hunt: Trance, that's Iridano sign language, and I think you just made a rather naughty suggestion to Harper.
- Trance Gemini: Oh, well, fair is fair. Harper made a rather naughty suggestion to nearly half the women there at the reception. Without success, I might add.
- Tyr Anasazi: Consider this, either it's the end of it all, or you'll have a magnificent tale to tell your children.
- Dylan Hunt: [to Trance, in combat] Any words of wisdom?
- Trance Gemini: Um, always be nice to your parents.
- Dylan Hunt: Sound advice.
- Trance Gemini: Scared money walks, sweet sugar action talks!
- [Dylan looks at her strangely]
- Trance Gemini: I-I heard it in a casino.
- Andromeda: The Resolution is powering up weapons.
- Dylan Hunt: Defensive measures! Activate PDL's.
- Andromeda: All defensive systems are off-line.
- Dylan Hunt: [frustrated] Well, then, throw sticks at them!
- [Rommie hacked into a computer system, opening a door]
- Dylan Hunt: That's my girl.
- Rommie: I prefer 'warship.'
- Dylan Hunt: I prefer 'girl.'
- [Rommie shoots the attackers shooting at them]
- Dylan Hunt: Okay, 'warship.'
- Dylan Hunt: [Dylan speaks to Doyle] It appears you're in a unique position.
- Seamus Harper: I'd like to get Doyle in a unique position.
- Dylan Hunt: [everyone glares at Harper] Harper...
- Beka Valentine: Tyr, ya don't have to come. I know how hard it is for you to beat that Nietzschean self-preservation gene.
- Tyr Anasazi: You know, that " Nietzschean self-preservation gene," as you call it, can't be passed down unless a breeding partner makes herself available. Proving one's worth as a husband and father requires taking risks.
- Beka Valentine: So all these dangerous, macho things you do - it's to impress the chicks?
- Rommie: Nice flying, Tyr. If I ate food, you'd be wearing it.
- Tyr Anasazi: Lovely image. And they say AIs have no poetry in their souls.
- Rommie: Nope, no poetry, but we're hell on wheels with a dirty limerick. Wanna hear one? There once was a man from Nan...
- [machine beeps, revealing a system full of High Guard ships]
- Tyr Anasazi: What do you see?
- Rommie: Poetry.
- Beka Valentine: Where did you get all the candles?
- Tyr Anasazi: I rendered them from the fat of my enemies.
- Dylan Hunt: It's a little known law of thermodynamics: The Conservation of Optimism: There's only so much to go around.
- Trance Gemini: Goodbye Andromeda. Goodbye to your comforts... Your joys... Your sheltering arms. Goodbye Maru... Rhade... Harper... Beka... Rommie... Goodbye... Dylan...
- Rommie: Terminating conversation.
- Trance Gemini: Andromeda? Andromeda!
- Unknown narrator: Have you come home from your journey? Have you come home from your path? Dream, dear one... dream.
- Rafe: For a fossilized High Guard Officer, your Dylan Hunt is one devious human being.
- Beka Valentine: I knew you'd like him.
- Trance Gemini: Y'know, since we've got a little bit of time here, we might as well find a good way to spend it. I know! I've got this really great game. It's called "Harper tells Trance everything, so she can save his miserable little life." Would you like to play?
- Harper: I hate you.
- Trance Gemini: You're just saying that.
- Seamus Harper: How do they mate? How do they date? I mean, come on, love is just a bunch of exaggerations and lies, all dolled up in pseudo-poetic language, uttered preferably while intoxicated, and all for the singular, universal purpose of... uh, you know.
- Trance Gemini: Harper, you're a born romantic.
- Seamus Harper: Sometimes there are flowers.
- Rommie: Hector must have been a fine replacement.
- Dylan Hunt: Hector? Oh, yeah, well, he was more than fine, he was - he was great. I mean he...
- [Dylan notices Rommie looking a bit offended]
- Dylan Hunt: ...Ah, but he could never be, you know, what - what you are.
- Rommie: And that is?
- Dylan Hunt: The air that I breathe.
- Rommie: Literally.
- Dylan Hunt: Missile tubes 1 through 5.
- Rommie: Are you sure that's necessary?
- Dylan Hunt: It's chasing us and that's rude. We'll teach it some manners.
- Beka Valentine: Can I say it? Let's bring it.
- Dylan Hunt: No, a little louder, more intense.
- Beka Valentine: LET'S BRING IT!
- Dylan Hunt: Rommie, do you believe in fate?
- Andromeda: The idea that the universe is a vast preprogrammed machine does have it appeal.
- Rev Bem: Providence chooses its instruments. Not the other way around. Fate brought you to that battle. Destiny demanded your actions. Perhaps you were merely a tool of Divine Will.
- [season two opening narration]
- Unknown narrator: He is the last guardian of a fallen civilization; a hero from another time. Faced with a universe in chaos, Dylan Hunt recruits an unlikely crew and sets out to reunite the galaxies. On the starship Andromeda, hope lives again.
- Beka Valentine: Wait, let me guess. You want me to fly the Maru into the teeth of what amounts to an interstellar hurricane just so that I can shut down yet another Seamus Harper science experiment thereby saving all of our butts from certain doom.
- Dylan Hunt: Emphasis on doom.
- Beka Valentine: Copy that. Oh, do me a favor - tell Harper that when I get back, I will be fitting him with a self-kicking butt. Should save us a lot of trouble in the future. Maru out!
- Trance Gemini: Is there something wrong with Harper's butt?
- Dylan Hunt: Well, Harper always says that opposites attract.
- Beka Valentine: That's just his excuse to meet women. Everyone's the opposite of Harper.
- Dylan Hunt: That's true.
- Tyr Anasazi: [Tyr's just regained his memory] You're wrong. I am Tyr ... Anasazi of Kodiak Pride! Out of Victoria by Barborosa! And I ... will never .. surrender!
- Seamus Harper: These slipstream drives are a lot easier to break than they are to fix.
- Dylan Hunt: My chief engineer called it "job security."
- [Season one opening monologue]
- Dylan Hunt: The long night has come. The Systems Commonwealth, the greatest civilization in history, has fallen. But now one ship, one crew, have vowed to drive back the night and rekindle the light of civilization. On the starship Andromeda... hope lives again.
- Seamus Harper: We needed a Plan B. *You* always have a Plan B.
- Dylan Hunt: Yes, but my Plan B's work.
- Trance Gemini: You know, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Although, I don't know why you'd want to catch flies. They're actually quite dirty little things.
- [commenting on the incoming Magog worldship]
- Rommie: Before you didn't know about it. Now you're facing it head-on.
- Beka Valentine: That is such a warship thing to say.
