Lt. Alara Kitan
- Lt. Alara Kitan: If you want to be alone, I could take off.
- Capt. Ed Mercer: No, no. You're all good.
- Lt. Alara Kitan: It's just, um, I see you in here a lot lately, you know, after-hours.
- Capt. Ed Mercer: Oh, my god. Don't tell me the crew is talking.
- Lt. Alara Kitan: No! No, nothing like that. It's just... look, I know it's none of my business, but if you ever need an ear, I've got two big, pointy ones.
- Capt. Ed Mercer: Well, that's nice of you, but there's nothing I can tell you the whole crew doesn't already know.
- Lt. Alara Kitan: Believe me, I get it. I'm used to people talking about my love life.
- Capt. Ed Mercer: You know, there are times when I feel like you and I are more alike than any two people on this ship.
- Lt. Alara Kitan: How so?
- Capt. Ed Mercer: Well, we both know we're good at our jobs. And yet we also seem to be the only two people who are haunted by this little voice that's always whispering that we don't really deserve to be here. And we're both alcoholics.
- Capt. Ed Mercer: You know what the worst days are, Olix? The days when you can't stay busy. No... Krill confrontations, no spatial anomalies, just nothing going on. And all your thoughts just march inward.
- Olix: So, most days.
- Lt. Alara Kitan: [approaching] Hey. You mind if I join you?
- Capt. Ed Mercer: Alara. No, pull up a chair. I can use an extra liver.
- Lt. Alara Kitan: Xelayans don't have livers.
- Lt. Cmdr. Bortus: What is the problem?
- Lt. Alara Kitan: Gordon has a crush on the new cartographer.
- Lt. Gordon Malloy: I don't have a crush, for god's sake.
- Lt. Alara Kitan: [mouthing] He does.
- Lt. Gordon Malloy: I just wanna know what her deal is, you know? And I thought maybe I would see if she wanted to go to Bortus' Ja'loja party.
- Lt. Alara Kitan: Well, then ask her.
- Lt. Gordon Malloy: Well, how do you think I should do that? "Hey, I'm Gordon. You like to pee"?
