Gordo Stevens, American hero. What a crock of shit. [crying] It's shit.

Gordo

Danielle [looking at a hanging fern]: What the hell is that?
Gordo: Plants in a bar. What's next?
Ed: I tried tellin' her. She said it freshens up the place.

Danielle: I wanna go back.
Gordo: Back where?
Danielle: Jamestown. It has been nine years since any of us have been up there, and it's time. I want to see how it's changed. I want to see what it's become.
Gordo: You know what it's become. You helped design the dang thing.
Danielle: It's not the same thing. I want to see it with my own eyes. I want to suit up in the morning, put my boots in the moondust, see the sunrise off Shackleton again. Don't y'all miss it?

Larry: Just remember why you took this job in the first place. The way to mars isn't through Houston-
Ellen: It's through Washington.

Al: I hereby relieve you as commander as Jamestown.
Ellen: I stand relieved.

Molly: Ed Baldwin wearing reading glasses? Will wonders never cease?
Ed: It will happen to you, too, Moll.
Molly: Never. Twenty-twenty till the day I die, just like my nana.

I don't know. The life you think you're gonna have, sometimes it doesn't end up making you happy, and I'm happy. You know, being there for Kelly and Karen. Hell, even those Asscans. It means something. No, it's not pushing the envelope, but, I don't know. Sometimes it's just more important being with the people you love than doing what you love.

Gordo: I'm not going back up, Ed. I can't, and you know I can't.
Ed: Well, that's not up to you. I decide who goes back and when remember? You got this.

Tracy: Alright. So this is about Gordo? Because it always is.
Ed: Well, he deserved to know.
Tracy: I don't remember you being concerned about what I deserved to know when Gordo was fuckin' all those Cape cookies in Florida.
Ed: Come on.
Trace: Yeah, you're right, Ed. Tell all those new recruits about them good old days.
