Crusade Quotes

Gary Cole as Captain Matthew Gideon

• (Gary Cole) "Personal Journal: Captain Matthew Gideon continuing. It's now three days since our visitors arrived on behalf of Earth Gov's Political affairs office. There's apparently some concern with how our work here is being perceived back home. They've been assigned to "help" us. Before their tour is finished, I may have to kill them. Assuming Lieutenant Mattheson doesn't beat me to it."

• (Gary Cole) "I can see every detail of the Earth's surface as clearly as we're seeing it now. But after my father died, I tried to remember his face, but it always slipped away from me. Why is that I wonder."
• (John Matheson) "Maybe it's because we can't decide which face to remember: the face of our father when we were children, the face of our father the first left home, the face of our father the last time we saw him. They all blur together we lose the details. But Earth is constant. Earth is forever."
• (Gary Cole) "You're too young to be having thoughts this old Lieutenant."

• (Elizabeth Lochley) "Is there anything you can tell me?"
• (Gary Cole) "Never eat anything bigger than your head. Never shoot pool at a place called Pap's. Never eat food at a place called Mom's. The mission is classified, Captain."

• (Gary Cole) "I thought you said you never hold a grudge."
• (Peter Woodward) "Well, I don't. I have no surviving enemies -- at all."

• (Senator Jacob Redway) "Didn't your daddy ever teach you not to contradict your elders?"
• (Gary Cole) "No, sir."
• (Senator Jacob Redway) "Hmm, well, I see part of the problem here."

• (Gary Cole) "What if you're wrong, Galen?"
• (Peter Woodward) "Well, that hardly seems likely, now does it?"

• (Gary Cole) "You cheated."
• (Elizabeth Lochley) "Absolutely."
• (Gary Cole) "I like that."

• (Elizabeth Lochley) "Do you believe that there is a supreme being?"
• (Gary Cole) "Aside from John Sheridan?"
• (Elizabeth Lochley) "Yes. Aside from the wisest, bravest, sexiest man in the galaxy. Apart from him."

• (Gary Cole) "No, it's not. It's mating with us."
• (Peter Woodward) "Well, it's not exactly the first contact situation that I'd envisioned --"

• (Elizabeth Lochley) "Do you know what you are?"
• (Gary Cole) "Ruggedly handsome?"
• (Elizabeth Lochley) "A control freak."
• (Gary Cole) "Can't I be both?"

• (Gary Cole) "Just so we're clear: once we go, this is my command. I'll do whatever's necessary. If that means turning the entire galaxy upside down and shaking its pockets to see what falls out, that's what I'll do. I'm not subtle, I'm not pretty, and I'll piss off a helluva lot of people along the way, but I'll get the job done."

Peter Woodward as Galen

• (Peter Woodward) "Do you think I'm hiding things from you, Dureena?"
• (Carrie Dobro) "Gideon says we all have things to hide."
• (Peter Woodward) "Did he? How unfortunate. I was hoping he'd come further than that. Not that isn't true of course. It's just that one simply doesn't have to say it -- Matthew was right. We all have something to hide. We all have something to tell, we all have a secret name, we all have a question."
• (Peter Woodward) "One question that unlocks our hearts."
• (Carrie Dobro) "And what is your question, Galen?"
• (Peter Woodward) "Why."

• (Peter Woodward) "Never contradict a technomage when he's saving your life -- again."

• (Peter Woodward) "If I want to sit and talk with the dead I will draw a pentagram on the ground and conjure up someone more, interesting."

• (Peter Woodward) "Then when the time comes I will help you keep your promise Matthew, as you have helped me keep mine. Perhaps then we can both forgive ourselves our common crime."
• (Gary Cole) "What crime is that Galen?"
• (Peter Woodward) "Being alive."

• (Peter Woodward) "When you have reached the end of the road, then you can decide, whether to go to the left or to the right, to fire or to water. If you make those decisions before you have even set foot upon the road, it will take you no where -- except to a bad end."

• (Peter Woodward) "There is always hope. Only because it's the one thing that no one has figured out how to kill yet."

Carrie Dobro as Dureena Nafeel

• (Carrie Dobro) "Did you find your answer to "why", Galen?"
• (Peter Woodward) "That one, may take little longer."

• (Carrie Dobro) "When will you be back?"
• (Peter Woodward) "In the fullness of time; expect me when you see me."

• (Carrie Dobro) "Look, I don't like having to trust anyone because I'm always disappointed. But just once I'd like to know that I could actually trust someone, that for at least one person everything wasn't about money or power."
• (Gary Cole) "That's a benefit?"
