Quotes 

• Gerentex : Aren't you... dead?

  Trance Gemini : I got better.

• Seamus Harper : So there's a price on your head. Oh, good. Maybe I'll get my money back after all.

  Gerentex : If I were you, I'd spend less time trying to plot *my* downfall and more time trying to guess what I'm going to do with the two of you.

  Trance Gemini : Oh, I love playing guessing games.

  Gerentex : [chuckles]  Call me a traditionalist, but when I kill someone, I really do prefer it when they stay dead. Now, be quiet, the two of you. I'm trying to think.

  Seamus Harper : Don't strain yourself.

• Seamus Harper : Try me. See if you can wrap your little rat brain around this. You kill her, I kill you. You lose. You kill her and you kill me, the ship blows up. You still lose. Either way, you lose.

  Trance Gemini : Uh, excuse me? Can we please discuss the killing her part?

• Gerentex : Well, you know, in this business, you're only as good as your latest scam. My strip-mining venture on Infinity Atoll, my RobotoCourtesan manufacturing plant, the religion I founded. All gone. Forgotten. Pfft. Uh, this is the part where you're supposed to say, "Oh, Gerentex, that's so sad."

  Trance Gemini : Oh, that's so sad!

  Seamus Harper : Oh, you're breaking my freaking heart!

• Trance Gemini : This enough?

  Adulasia Stalin : Definitely. Pleasure doing business with you.

  Seamus Harper : Hey, if you want pleasure, you're talking to the right guy.

  Adulasia Stalin : Thanks, but I prefer my men alive.

• Gerentex : You know, now that the moment is upon me, I must admit to feeling a tad misty. Once I find Tarn-Vedra, all the painful struggle, the years of yearning will finally be behind me. I'll buy a lake. Or maybe a small sea. Start a harem of fecund Nightsider females who'll fill the water with furry tadpoles, and watch as the strongest of our young devour the weak in the ancient dance of life.

  Trance Gemini : Oh. That is so beautiful.

  Gerentex : Isn't it? You know, all I've really wanted was a home and a family of my own. To change myself for the better.

  Seamus Harper : You wanna change your life for the better? Put a bullet in your head.

  Trance Gemini : Oh, Seamus Zelazney Harper, you take that back this instant.

• Gerentex : You know, hurtful stereotypes like that give people like me a bad name.

  Trance Gemini : No! People like you give people like you a bad name.

• Trance Gemini : I am so sick of this, you two, with your violence and your threats and your shooting stuff! Neither of you gets it, do you? There isn't enough love in the universe as it is, and you're both just helping to kill off what's left. So shape up! Because if you don't show each other a little peace, love, and understanding, I am going to kill you both.

  Seamus Harper : Trance, you don't mean that.

  Trance Gemini : I do. You know why? 'Cause I could get away with it because I'm cute.

  Gerentex : You wouldn't.

  Trance Gemini : Oh! Dylan, it was so horrible. They just... they killed each other right in front of me. And I tried to stop them, really I tried, but I couldn't.

  Gerentex : By the sacred light, she's right. I can just see that High Guard fossil now, hugging her and saying, "Trance, it'll be okay," while, while we lay here dead.

  Seamus Harper : You know what you've done, don't you? You've kissed off our entire tundra flower monopoly, our best commodity.

  Trance Gemini : No, I haven't. I gave Gerentex a beautiful thing to call his own. Beautiful things can make sad people happy, and bad people good. When you think about it, beautiful things can change the universe.

• Gerentex : Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you? Let's have old Gerentex take us into his confidence, and reveal his latest scheme for wealth and success, and then we'll betray him and keep it all for ourselves!

  Trance Gemini : We would never do that.

  Seamus Harper : I would.

  Trance Gemini : True.

• Trance Gemini : Harper, be careful. He has two loaded guns. You only have a bad temper.

• Adulasia Stalin : Shh. I prefer my men strong and silent.

  Trance Gemini : Well then you won't like Harper.

• [first lines] 

  Seamus Harper : Trance, I'm telling you. That waitress really dug me. We shared this thing, this, uh, pure, special cosmic connection.

  Trance Gemini : Wasn't that what you said about that stripper you met on Mendocino Drift? The one who had the elbow spikes and threatened to perforate you, stick a light in your rib-cage, and turn you into a planetarium?
