- Lord Dread: All things that are of the flesh shall be paired away. The day of the machine is inevitable. For the forces of history are with us.
- Overmind: But more than flesh must be eliminated. Emotions are not of the machine. You must work harder to cast them aside.
- Lord Dread: I... I don't know what you're...
- Overmind: When not in my presence, you have exhibited anger, rage, sadness, compassion. Beware of these things, Dread. Seek out my help when the weakness strikes.
- Corporal Jennifer 'Pilot' Chase: Can you explain, eh... love, Mentor?
- Mentor: Specify form of love. Parental? Sibling? Friendship? Comeraderie? Eh, lovers?
- Corporal Jennifer 'Pilot' Chase: Lovers?
- Andy Jackson: The name's Andy Jackson. My partner and I have been fighting Dread our own way and we heard about you. So I thought I'd come by and see if you guys were eh, good enough to join us.
- Captain Jonathan Power: There's room in the team for one more. But it has to be the right one. And that takes time, trust.
- Andy Jackson: [to Pilot] He's a good explainer, your captain. Maybe you could, eh, even talk him into explaining to you about love some time.
