Aleida: Come on. Can you imagine me sitting across from all those M7 reps?
Kelly: Yes, I can.

You are hereby removed from flight status and relieved of your duties as XO on this base.

Danielle [to Ed]

Palmer: Admiral Baldwin has a tremor or something with his right hand. I could tell he was trying to hide it. He had to halt a training exercise because of it.
Danielle: Are you saying that Ed is hiding a medical condition?
Palmer: That is what I suspect, Commander, yes.

Danielle: Let’s just get one thing straight. That attitude of yours? It ain’t gonna fly.
Ed: What? I’m supposed to rubber stamp and hare brained idea of yours that washes over the transom?
Danielle: This is not about hare-brained ideas, Ed.

Ed: Of course not. This is so typical.
Danielle: Typical of what?
Ed: Of you! Always so eager to please the higher-ups to further your own career.
Danielle: I came out of retirement to take this job! You think I give a damn about my career? If this is typical of anybody, it’s YOU!

I wanted you here because I know what you’re capable of. All of them, they’re afraid, afraid of their own shadows. You are different. The Americans took you for granted. I will not, and I assure you the work we will do together will take us far into the cosmos.

Irina [to Margo]

Margo: So why did you help me just now?
Tatyana: Well, a woman without coffee is a dangerous woman.

Well, I’m sure a good compromise can be found. If I can hash out a good deal with the UAW, I guarantee I can with her. I like working with the Russians. They’re direct. They don’t like beatin’ around the bush. We just have to talk it out.

Eli

Danielle: Comrade Zackarova, I have read the incident report, and I have come to a decision about your punishment.
Svetlana: It’s irrelevant.
Ed: What, what do you mean?
Svetlana: I’ve just heard from Star City. I’ve been recalled to Moscow. I’m to go home on Unity.

Do whatever you want with my shares. I trust you. But I’m never comin’ back.

Bill

Aleida: I ran out of the fucking room, Bill. I left my post. And I couldn’t go back in there anymore.
Bill: Least ya didn’t pee your pants.

Aleida: Bill, I’m sorry I haven’t been to see you in so long. I don’t blame you for being mad at me, but I really-
Bill: I’m not mad.
Aleida: You’re not?
Bill: No. I get it. Probably wouldn’t want to see me either. But if you want my help, you’re gonna have to explain something to me.
Aleida: What?
Bill: Why you’re walking away from NASA after 15 years to work on a private robotics program that, to be frank, is beneath you. You should be director by now. You can do this shit in your sleep. You know it.
Aleida: I can’t do manned space flight anymore.
Bill: What? Because of the Ranger One accident? You’ve lost crew before.
Aleida: I guess everyone has their limit.
Bill: But you always seemed more resilient. I mean, you went back.
Aleida: I didn’t have a choice! I owed it to all the people we lost.
Bill: Margo, you mean? She lied to you. She betrayed her country.
