Quotes
-
Dr. Claire Finn : I'm hungry. Will somebody get me a pizza?
Lt. Cmdr. Bortus : What kind of pizza?
Capt. Ed Mercer : She's not getting a pizza.
-
Dr. Claire Finn : Captain. Do you ever sit in your quarters and look out the window? Do you ever stop and watch the darkness out there? It's very, very dark in space. Look so empty. But there are terrors lurking all around us in the infinite shadows. You can't see them, but they are there.
-
Dr. Claire Finn : You both saw it.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : Saw it. Felt it. Almost got swallowed up by it.
Capt. Ed Mercer : Doctor, these things cannot possibly be real. Is there a chance we're dealing with some kind of... collective insanity? A... a brain virus of some sort? Could somebody have put peyote in the food synthesizers? Maybe we're all just really stoned.

Isaac : I am afraid we cannot end the simulation at this time.
Dr. Claire Finn : Isaac, look at her bio-signs. Her adrenaline levels are through the roof.
Capt. Ed Mercer : Isaac, shut it down, now!
Isaac : I am sorry, Captain. I do not have the authority to do so. Lieutenant Kitan has exercised directive 38 in the execution of this program.
Capt. Ed Mercer : No bare feet in the engineering section? What does that have to do...
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : No, 38.
Capt. Ed Mercer : Oh, 38. Wait a minute, she exercised directive 38 for this?
Dr. Claire Finn : What does that mean?
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : It's an extreme crisis-only regulation that allows the chief of security on board a starship the ability to override all other clearance. Including the captain's.
Dr. Claire Finn : What in God's name for?
Capt. Ed Mercer : In the rare case that the captain has been compromised in some way; alien influence, extreme drunkenness, that kind of thing. If they use it and they're wrong, it's a career-ender. And it's definitely not meant to be used for something like this.

Isaac : You asked to be subjected to a variety of frightening situations, so I designed a program based on inquiries conducted with the crew, in order to select a number of baseline phobias with which to populate the program.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : The simulation began in the corridor, right before you saw the clown.
Lt. Alara Kitan : But how did you...
[realizing]
Lt. Alara Kitan : A memory wipe.
Dr. Claire Finn : If you knew you were in a simulation, the fear wouldn't be real. So you needed a short-term memory wipe to erase any knowledge of the request. It's a risky procedure, but you told me it was essential for the protection of classified security material. I ought to write you up for lying to a medical officer.
Lt. Alara Kitan : Wait, so who's afraid of clowns?
Lt. John LaMarr : That's me.
Lt. Alara Kitan : You really are afraid of clowns?
Lt. John LaMarr : Yes. Please stop saying the "C" word.
