Quotes 

• Hobbes : [trying to explain Thrakhath's message]  Kilrathi believe always that war is psychological. It is a contest of wills as much as weapons.

  Vaquero : Talking trash is all I call it.

  Hobbes : It is the politics of superiority. Not perhaps one of my race's more admirable social constructs.

  Cobra : Social constructs! A pack of animals with admirable social constructs.

• Blair : It's time we talk, Lieutenant.

  Cobra : Ain't much to talk about, sir. You've flown with "it" and you both got the job done.

  Blair : If you're referring to Hobbes...

  Cobra : I can't fly with him, sir.

  Blair : If you stay on this ship, you'll have to, sooner or later.

  Cobra : Don't put me in a position of having to defend him. I won't do it.

  Blair : Why?

  Cobra : Let's just say I'm hard-wired that way. And nothing you do is gonna change that.

• [the Kilrathi have jammed the Victory's communication systems, accompanied by a threatening video message from Prince Thrakhath] 

  Prince Thrakhath : I have read your Terran Bible with its predications that there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. It is about to be fulfilled. We will tear your tongues out, we will scoop out your brains...

  Cobra : That ain't all they'll do if they ever get their paws on us.

• Blair : You know, I don't think I've seen anyone as anxious to waste the enemy as you.

  Cobra : Oh, I'd blast planet after planet if it would rid the galaxy of Kilrathi. There's no justification for their existence. And that includes your buddy Hobbes.

  Blair : Jesus, Lieutenant, it's like an endless loop with you.

  Cobra : You have no clue.

  Blair : So enlighten me.

  Cobra : They took me when I was 10.

  Blair : Who, the Kilrathi?

  Cobra : Slave labor camp. I escaped when I was 20.

  Blair : [shocked]  Must've been...

  Cobra : You have no idea what it must have been. I saw things. The psych guys spent 2 years trying to pry things out of my head after I escaped, but you can't wipe it all. There's a little bit of Kilrathi prowling around inside of me and I can't get it out. One day there won't be any human left.

  Blair : [puts his hand on her shoulder]  We're gonna get 'em. You'll see.

  Cobra : Keep telling me that, Colonel. Even if it's not true.
