Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : Lieutenant, have you ever studied the history of money?
Lt. John LaMarr : No, not really. I know people used to use it to buy houses and sandwiches and stuff.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : Exactly. It became obsolete with the invention of matter synthesis. Predominant currency became reputation.
Lt. John LaMarr : Yeah, so?
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : My point it: human ambition didn't vanish. The only thing that changed is how we quantify wealth. People still want to be rich, only now being rich means being the best at what you do.
Lt. John LaMarr : Not everybody wants that. Some people like to keep it simple. Some people like to go to work, go home, drink a beer and pass out.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : Are you one of those people?
Lt. John LaMarr : I am very fond of drinking beer and passing out, yes.

Dr. Claire Finn : Two-dimensional life forms? How is that possible?
Capt. Ed Mercer : Is there any way we can communicate with them?
Isaac : Negative. Our modes of existence are incompatible.
Capt. Ed Mercer : Then get every bit of scanning data you can. Union physicists will be writing papers about this for decades.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : Well, if we can't talk to them, at least we can watch.
Lt. Gordon Malloy : Wait, so, does that mean that there could be fourth- or fifth-dimensional people watching us right now?
Isaac : It is possible.
Lt. Gordon Malloy : But do you think... I mean, they wouldn't, like... watch us all the time, right?
Isaac : I do not know.
Lt. Gordon Malloy : I mean, do you think, like, could they see under a blanket, or... in the s-sleeve of a down coat?
Capt. Ed Mercer : Gordon, I don't know what you're driving at, but I'm gonna go ahead and change the subject.

Lt. John LaMarr : I think we could create a stable quantum bubble inside the shuttle and preserve three dimensional space.
Dr. Claire Finn : So the outside would be squashed but the inside wouldn't.
Capt. Ed Mercer : More space inside then out. Like Dr. Who's phone booth.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : Or Oscar the Grouch's can.
Lt. John LaMarr : Or Snoopy's dog house. Yeah.

Isaac : We are currently analyzing the scans of the quantum wake.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : And there's no explanation for the dead plants?
Lt. John LaMarr : We're cross-referencing the bioscans of the plants with what we know about the anomaly, which, right now, isn't much.
Capt. Ed Mercer : They've been watered, right? Like, do we have a... a plant guy?
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson : Palovis. He's the lizard-looking guy in the science section.
Capt. Ed Mercer : Is that his name? God, I can never remember that guy's name. I-I see him coming in the hall, and he's always like "Hey, good morning, Captain", and I'm always like "Hey, there he is."
