Quotes 

• Ed Mercer : And finally, Isaac, our science and engineering officer, hailing from Kaylon 1.

  Isaac : Affirmative, sir.

  Ed Mercer : You know, I got to tell you, I was surprised to see any Kaylon serving in the fleet. Aren't you guys legendarily racist?

• Isaac : [the Orville is under attack]  Deflectors at half power.

  Gordon Malloy : Sir, I think I can buy us some time 'till we can get the landing party back. Let me wing it here?

  Bortus : Proceed.

  Gordon Malloy : This is something I call "hugging the donkey".

  John LaMarr : You can hug the donkey?

  Gordon Malloy : Dude, I've been hugging the donkey since flight school.

• Ed Mercer : So, what are you doing on a Union ship?

  Isaac : Your fleet's admiralty offered a posting to any Kaylon willing to take it. As an effort to initiate relations between Kaylon and the Union, we accepted. I was chosen to represent my planet. I see it as an ideal opportunity to study human behavior.

  Ed Mercer : Well, we'll, uh... we'll try not to bore you.

• Isaac : The captain does not appear to be pleased at the arrival of his first officer. Why is this?

  Gordon Malloy : 'Cause she's a total bitch.

  Alara Kitan : Do you know her?

  Gordon Malloy : Oh, yeah. They were married.

  Alara Kitan : No way.

  Gordon Malloy : She cheated on him.

  John LaMarr : Aw, damn, that's cold.

  Gordon Malloy : Yeah, so this should be a really fun trip for all of us.

  Isaac : Your description of the occurrence indicates unpleasantness, yet you believe it will be fun.

  Gordon Malloy : I was being sarcastic. It's gonna suck.

  Isaac : Suck?

  Gordon Malloy : Yeah, suck. You know, like, ass, balls.

  Alara Kitan : What he means is if you don't already drink, you should probably start.

• Isaac : My planet regards humans and other biological life forms as inferior.

  Ed Mercer : Oh, that's great, thanks.

  Isaac : You are welcome.
