The Orville: New Horizons
Thursdays on HuluThe Orville: New Horizons Quotes
Kaylon Primary: We have reviewed the organizational structure of your Council and its history of deliberations. What you call ‘representative democracy’ is a most inefficient form of governance.
Admiral Halsey: Maybe. But the one thing you can say for democracy is that all other forms of government are even worse. Over thousands of years and on countless planets, it’s the best system anyone’s ever come up with to ensure the strong don’t dominate the weak. At least not for long.
Mercer: It’s a fundamental tenet of Union philosophy that we don’t kill unless we have to. We didn’t have to.
Burke: I just hope those high-minded morals don’t kill us.
Grayson: You know, ever since we lost the Moclans, I’ve had this pit in my stomach about the Kaylon. Wondering how much time we have left. When are they coming for us? And now, it’s all over.
Dr. Finn: So what are we gonna stress about?
Grayson: Today? Hangovers.
Dr. Finn: Ugh. No kidding. It’s mornings like this I’m jealous of Talla.
Grayson: No liver?
Dr. Finn: Yep.
Grayson: Yeah, we were born on the wrong planet.
The fulfillment of a divine purpose eclipses all family bonds.
Teleya
We’re talking about exterminating an entire species. I can’t think of anything that runs more contrary to Union values.

Mercer: ‘For great achievements, two things are needed: a plan, and not quite enough time.’

Admiral Halsey
There is always a weakness, Isaac. Your existence is proof of that.
Kaylon Primary
Moclan Ambassador: The Union imposes its values on other cultures while refusing to confront its own hypocrisy. A governance of elitist fools.
Chancellor Teleya: On that we agree.
A clash of fire and water, given time, can produce great beauty.
Heveena
Our struggle for equality has always demanded risk and, if necessary, sacrifice!
Heveena
Grayson: Everything all right?
Bortus: There are days when I would rather confront a fleet of Krill battle cruisers than parent a child.
