- Rommie: [trying on clothes] I don't know, Trance. I just don't really think it's me.
- Trance Gemini: Don't you want to look good?
- Rommie: Well, only in so far as it aids my official functions.
- Beka Valentine: So your other outfits are, uh, supposed to be functional?
- Rommie: Well, they're all approved variations of High Guard officer's uniforms.
- Beka Valentine: Female officer's uniforms. Very female.
- Beka Valentine: Rommie, I can't believe that you're actually saying that the reason you look like a walking heart attack is for our benefit.
- Rommie: I'm not sure what you mean.
- Trance Gemini: All Beka's trying to say is that she thinks you're pretty.
- Beka Valentine: No, no, no. I think you went a little overboard on the, uh, pouty lips.
- HG: Please, do not initiate hostile action. I am Bio-sentient Contact Unit HG1966HXCN5. What is it you humans say? Take me to your leader.
- Beka Valentine: You were instructed to make contact by who?
- Trance Gemini: Ahem. By whom.
- HG: I am an emissary from the Consensus of Parts. I come in peace. Take me to your leader.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Yeah, yeah, we got it the first time.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Would you excuse us, please?
- HG: Of course, I come in peace.
- Captain Dylan Hunt: Yes, so do we. Excuse us.
- HG: I've never traveled in this manner before. I've never done anything before.
- Beka Valentine: Yeah, well, uh, we've got three jumps and some sub-light haulings, so I'd say, a, um, couple of hours, at least.
- HG: A couple of hours. You organics live with such imprecision. It must be very exhilarating.
- Beka Valentine: Yeah, it's non-stop excitement.
- Seamus Harper: Introducing Harper Nanobot 1-0-7. I like to call this model the Ms. Pac-Man. Wowawowawowa. It's an obscure reference to an ancient video game.
- VX: What is this abomination?
- Captain Dylan Hunt: The poor, the wretched, the huddled masses yearning to be free. And for you, the end of the line. HG.
- Beka Valentine: So, what you're saying is that you randomly chose a bunch of, uh, human female features. You mixed them all up and, uh... this was the first face that you came up with?
- Rommie: I may have experimented with a few options.
- Beka Valentine: Define "a few".
- Rommie: One hundred and seventy thousand, eight hundred and ninety four.
- Beka Valentine: I knew it!
- HG: This is where the parts come together. With your hands?
- Seamus Harper: Exactly. My hands.
- HG: You are like a slow directing intelligence unit.
- Seamus Harper: Okay. I'll take that as a compliment.

- Trance Gemini: Once, you asked if there might be a place for you around here, among the pretty things. Well, HG, your heart was a pretty thing. You were just a baby. You only had one single precious day of life. And even in that one day, you managed to become a hero. Goodnight, little hero.
