Tyler: I'm surprised you call yourself a misfit, Emperor.
Georgiou: The freaks are more fun.

How can she not know what tears are? That's impossible. Show me a teenage girl that's never cried. You can't. I know. I'm a xenoanthropologist.

Burnham

I wanted to thank you for following orders and maintaining our cover despite your captain's impairment. And, by impairment, I mean having a phaser go off in my chest.

Pike

Burnham: You wanted to see me?
Pike: Yes. And don't make me laugh.

Stamets

Burnham: In order to guide us through the mycelial network, Commander Stamets injected himself with tardigrade DNA, a violation of Starfleet's ban on genetic manipulation.
Saru: They were willing to overlook this during the war however.
Pike: A tardigrade?
Saru: I suppose you had to be there.

Nhan: I see where the Federation puts its pennies.
Pike: Do not covet thy neighbor's starship, Commander. Besides, we got the new uniforms.
Saru: And lovely uniforms they are, Captain.

Connelly: Every time we tried to scan, the computer went haywire.
Burnham: Like a compass at the North Pole.
Pike: Well put. Why didn't we think of that Connelly? Huh? Think of all the syllables that gave their lives.
