- Michael Isaacs: General, I resent your accusations.
- General Hurst: Folks, this conversation is pointless. Time is on my side. Now we got about 6 months before this moon is scheduled to impact the Earth. That's enough time for you to accomplish this exercise in futility.
- Dr. Dana Shaw: The decision's been made General.
- General Hurst: Yes, I know it has and as usual I'll sit back and watch you fail then I'll step in and save the day. Now if you both will excuse me.
- [walks away abruptly]
- Ryan: [discussing how the crew is getting the short end of this deal] And they expect us to save it for free.
- Potter: I gotta go.
- [walks away]
- Ryan: [Ryan walks to perimeter of atmosphere barrier, lights cigarette on infrared beam setting off alarm]
- Potter: [rushing back to Ryan] What!
- Ryan: [smugly] Just checking.
- Potter: [panting and breathing hard] You wanna let me know the next time you wanna check the alarm!
- Ryan: I wasn't checking the alarm, I was checking to see if you could still run with that big fat ass of yours.
- Potter: You're really funny man, you're killing me, really.
- [walks away again]
- Ryan: [speaking to himself] It's not me that's killing you, it's the meatloaf.
- Archer: It would come every year and...
- Luke Harrison: What?
- Archer: Havest them, drag their remains off to...
- Luke Harrison: Eat them right?
- Archer: Bury them... it was a carrion eater... it ate the dead. So a hundred of their soldiers sacrificed their lives, so that the smell of rotting meat would bring it out. Then they trapped it in this capsule and set it off into space. Over time rocks attached itself to this device. This whole thing has been one giant solitary floating Alcatraz.
- Cody Harrison: Yeah... well now it's time to give it the chair!
