Memorable Quotes from Benedict Wong
8 quotesThe Urgency of Their Mission
Mace
Do I have to spell it out for you? We have a payload to deliver to the heart of our nearest star. We're delivering that payload because that star is dying. And if it dies, we die. Everything dies. So that is our mission. There is nothing, literally nothing, more important than completing our mission. End of story!
Trey
He's right.
Mace
He's right? Of course I'm right! Is anyone here seriously considering otherwise?
Searle
May I put a counter-argument?
Mace
No!
Searle
Captain?
Kaneda
Go ahead.
Searle
It would, of course, be absurd to alter our trajectory to assist the crew of the Icarus I. Even if we knew that some or even all of that crew are still alive, their lives are entirely expendable when seen in the context of our mission. As are our own lives.
Mace
Exactly.
Searle
However, there is something on board the Icarus I that may be worth the detour. As you pointed out, Mace, we have a payload to deliver. A payload, singular. Now, everything about the delivery and effectiveness of that payload is entirely theoretical. Simply put, we don't know if it's gonna work. But what we do know is this: if we had two bombs, we'd have two chances.
Kaneda
You're assuming we'd be able to pilot Icarus I.
Searle
Yes.
Trey
Which is assuming that whatever stopped them completing the mission wasn't a fault or a damage to the spacecraft.
Searle
Yes.
Mace
It's a lot of assumptions.
Searle
It is. It's a risk assessment. The question is: does the risk of a detour outweigh the benefits of an extra payload?
Mace
We'll have a vote.
Searle
No. No, we won't. We are not a democracy. We're a collection of astronauts and scientists, so we're gonna make the most informed decision available to us.
Mace
Made by you, by any chance?
Kaneda
Made by the person best qualified to understand the complexities of payload delivery: our physicist.

Capa
Shit.

The Mystery of Project Elrond Explained
Annie Montrose
What the hell is "Project Elrond?
Vincent Kapoor
I had to make something up.
Annie Montrose
But "Elrond?
Mitch Henderson
Because it's a secret meeting.
Annie Montrose
How do you know that; why does Elrond mean secret meeting?
Bruce Ng
The Council of Elrond. It's the... it's... it's... from ]. It's the meeting where they decide to destroy the One Ring.
[[The Lord of the Rings]
Teddy Sanders
If we are going to call something Project Elrond, I would like my code name to be Glorfindel.

Consequences of Ignoring Forbidden Knowledge
Mordo
STOP! Tampering with continuum probability is forbidden!
[Bursting in]
Strange
I was just doing exactly what it said in the book!
Wong
And what did the book say, about the dangers of performing that ritual?
Strange
I don't know, I hadn't gotten to that part yet.
Mordo
Temporal manipulations can create branches in time. Unstable dimensional openings! Spatial paradoxes, time loops! You want to get stuck experiencing the same moment over and over again forever, or never having existed at all?!
Strange
They really should put the warnings before this stuff.

Weighing Decisions in Life and Death
Annie Montrose
But if something goes wrong?
Vincent Kapoor
Then we lose the crew.
Bruce Ng
So what, we either have a high chance of killing one person, or a low chance of killing six people. How do we make that decision?
Vincent Kapoor
We don't. He does.
[pointing to Teddy]
Mitch Henderson
Yeah, bullshit. It should be Commander Lewis call.
Teddy Sanders
We still have a chance to bring five astronauts home safe and sound. I'm not risking their lives.
Mitch Henderson
Let them make that decision.
Teddy Sanders
Mitch, we are going with option one.
Mitch Henderson
You goddamn coward.

Assessing Critical Repairs for Space Mission
Mitch Henderson
He's not even got to the bad parts yet.
Vincent Kapoor
Well, let's get to the bad parts.
Bruce Ng
We need to remove the nose LR, the windows, and the whole of panel 19.
Vincent Kapoor
You want to take the front of the ship off?
Bruce Ng
Sure. The nose alone is 400 kilograms.
Vincent Kapoor
You want to send a man into space without the front of his ship?
Bruce Ng
Well, no. We are going to have him cover it with HAB canvas. The hull is mostly there to keep air in. Mars atmosphere is so thin, you do not need a lot of streamlining. By the time the ship is going fast enough for air resistance to matter, it'll be high enough that there will be practically no air.
Vincent Kapoor
You want to send him into space under a tarp?
Bruce Ng
Yes. Can I go on?
Vincent Kapoor
NO!
