Mysterious Voice Captivates Crew Members
Greer Earlier, when I was doing my recon, I could swear I heard a woman's voice singing to me. It was like she was, like she was coming on to me or something.
Munder Oh, no.
[laughs]
Greer It was the sexiest voice I ever heard, man.
Santos She got any backup singers?
Munder Brother, whatever you're on, get me some!

Understanding Nicknames and Dreams in Conversation
Oren Monash Sometimes I see flashes of light. You know like colours. I fall asleep and I dream. But there's a part of me that's always awake. And I can see myself dreaming. I'm just seeing things differently, Fish.
Spurgeon Tanner Well, that's good.
Oren Monash Fish. Why the hell do they call you "Fish"?
Spurgeon Tanner Spurgeon, sturgeon, fish. Took me about 15 minutes of my first day at the Naval Academy.
Oren Monash Your kids go there?
Spurgeon Tanner Yeah, they did. They did. And they're good men, both of them. I don't see as much of them as I used to when Mary was alive.
Oren Monash You don't have to talk about it. It's O.K.
Spurgeon Tanner No, it's O.K. It's O.K. You're a married man; you know what it's like. Every marriage has its good years and bad years. We ended on a great year. Well, lets get started. Moby Dick, chapter one. "Call me Ishmael. Several years, never mind how long precisely, having little or no money in my purse... grim about the mouth." "Whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul, whenever I find myself knocking people's hats off, then I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.
Contingency Plans for Comet Threat
Spurgeon Tanner Could I bother everyone for a minute? Let's take a look at the big one. Now the outgassing has created a vent a half a mile wide and at least two miles deep. Comet gets closer to to the sun, sun melts the ice, ice turns to steam, we get a big hole, O.K.? So, how many nukes we have left in the back?
Mikhail Tulchinsky We have four.
Spurgeon Tanner If we get the remaining bombs in that vent, there shouldn't be anything left in that comet bigger than a suitcase. We can't do anything about the little one, but it just might give them a chance. Without the arming codes, we're going to have to wait to set the bomb timers until we get closer to Earth to raise Houston.
Mikhail Tulchinsky We may not have enough life support left to get back into the cargo bay for the nukes, much less go down with the comet.
Mark Simon We sure as hell don't have enough propellant left in the Messiah to manuever with. How do we set the nukes inside the comet and get out before they blow?
Oren Monash We don't.
Andrea Baker Look on the bright side. We'll all have high schools named after us.

Officer Gore Oh, and so are you, Colonel. Who's the kid?

Officer Gore That you take this rig straight back to the dealer.
Charlie Y-you got it.
