• Indian Guide Wahote : You will see your own future through there. Through the Vortex. If you have the courage. The courage is not easily found except within the heart.

  [holds open a curtain] 

  Ryan McBride : We, we have courage.

  Mitch Buchannon : No, we don't have the courage.

  Ryan McBride : Yes we do have courage.

  Mitch Buchannon : No, we don't have the courage.

  Ryan McBride : We have courage.

  Mitch Buchannon : We don't.

• Ryan McBride : Okay. Go with me on this. Say I wanna grow something in an area that won't cultivate because of the soil. What do I do?

  Mitch Buchannon : You, um, change the soil.

  Ryan McBride : Right. Well say in changing the soil, I don't check out everything that lives in the soil, before I irradiate it.

  Mitch Buchannon : Then, you could mutate something you didn't count on. What are you saying here, we're fighting some sort of insect? Something that mutated from radiation?

  Ryan McBride : That's exactly what I'm sayin'. That thing looked like a giant slug! And, and slugs feed on anything within their domain.

  Mitch Buchannon : Well, that would explain the missing crew member.
