Quotes 

• Servalan : Jarvik? Of course. Jarvik. Jarvik, the construction worker. What was it now? "Any fool could take the Liberator with three pursuit ships." Well, the Liberator will soon be diffusing itself throughout the galaxy as so many billion split particles. So, regrettably, we shall never know. Thanks to the folly of your president, who with her aides and her technical advisors, her battle computers and her captains, extravagantly disposed herself to use *four* pursuit ships. And yet any fool could have done it with three. Perhaps this particular fool will tell her how.

  Servalan : Well? Have you nothing to say to Servalan?

  Jarvik : Woman, you are beautiful.

  [Jarvik grabs Servalan and kisses her] 

• Jarvik : I shall expect both courage and enterprise.

  Shad : You will have both, sir.

  Servalan : Such old-fashioned concepts, Jarvik. Are they really necessary?

  Jarvik : With machines, no. With men, yes.

• Jarvik : [talking to Servalan about computer predictions]  Madam, in ancient times they read the future from the torn out guts of small animals. Two millennia later it was in the remnant leaves of a herb in a drinking cup. Ask me, and I'd say that civilization has learnt a lot to little positive advantage.
