Quotes 

• Philip : In real combat, those swords would've been charged with nuclear disintegrators. Slightest touch of the body would mean instant death.

  Mike Donovan : Hmm. That would take the fun out it, wouldn't it?

  Philip : Interesting perspective. Care to try it sometime?

  Mike Donovan : With uncharged weapons?

  Philip : Of course. I should warn you, though, I'm pretty good. Been trained by a venerated master.

  Mike Donovan : Well, I've watched all the old Errol Flynn movies.

  Philip : Well then, should be an even match.

• Dr. Julie Parrish : It's no use, Mike. It's a dead end, that's a solid brick wall.

  Mike Donovan : Okay, we'll blow it.

  Kyle Bates : With what, the grenades we don't have?

• [last lines of the show, as they watch the shuttle take fly off] 

  Mike Donovan : I hope we did the right thing.

  Dr. Julie Parrish : We did. I can feel it. She may find peace and happiness. Who knows? Maybe we all will.

  Mike Donovan : Wait a minute. Where's Kyle?

  Willie : Well, he was here a moment ago.

  Mike Donovan : You don't think he...

  Dr. Julie Parrish : He stowed away.

• Mike Donovan : What's going on?

  Kyle Bates : They're messing with her mind.

  Willie : No. She is receiving a message.

  Mike Donovan : What kind of message?

  Willie : From the leader. It is his manner to contact anyone, anytime, at any distance.

  Kyle Bates : That's crazy.

  Willie : Kyle, she is also one of us.

• Mike Donovan : Nothin'. We're not gettin' any place. We need something with more power.

  Philip : We have nothing else. We gotta blow that door. We've gotta get into the master control room. It's the heart of the mother ship.

  Dr. Julie Parrish : But Diana has the ship sealed off. Philip, what are we gonna do?

  Philip : There's nothing more we can do, to save the leader or Earth.

  Willie : Wait! There is something.

  Mike Donovan : Willie, what? Anything.

  Willie : [holding a mantle]  This. She is the star child. If the leader designed all this, and he can communicate through her, then...

  Philip : Then he can use her to undo all of this.

• Philip : As soon as the leader's gone, they'll be taken back.

  Mike Donovan : For a trial?

  Philip : Yes. Our justice is quicker than yours, but just as lasting. My brother was a wise man choosing to trust you, Donovan.

  Mike Donovan : Well, he was my friend, as you are.

  Philip : You've got a great planet here, Mike. You fought valiantly to save it. Don't misuse it.

  Mike Donovan : We'll do our best. Thanks again.

• Philip : If these swords had been charged, the energy emanating from the tips would burn right through your outer tissue.

  Mike Donovan : Not a pretty picture.
