T'Ana: There we go. Nothing a little lung rejuvenation won't fix.
Freeman: See? You're fine.
Mariner: Oh yeah. Act like it's not a big deal you left us to die in the void.
Ransom: This all could've been avoided if you'd followed protocol and signed out your magnet boots.
Mariner: Or maybe that wouldn't have even mattered since lower decks are so expendable to you.
Shaxs: Ridiculous! We're all equals on this ship. Right?
Ransom: Um, they sleep in a hallway.
Shaxs: Oh.

Freeman: Not going to argue with you, Beckett! I have to make impossible life and death decisions every day.
Mariner: Yeah, no kidding. It's always our life or death!

Mariner

Mirror Billups: Nothing makes me hornier than torturing someone. I'm horny all the time.
Mirror Rutherford: And being horny always gets me in the mood to torture!

Mariner

Mariner: I can't believe we didn't even make it out of the space dock.

Mariner: Oof, somehow, that feels worse.

Borg Queen: A remarkable creature. Your design very nearly passes as human.
Boimler: I am human...?
Borg Queen: Ew! Well, then you need to drink more water. Your skin is a mess. But still, I think I should add your biological distinctiveness to our own. It's kind of our thing.

Freeman: Sherri Yin Yim is no longer working for Starfleet. Apparently, she's stepped down because of on the job stress.
Mariner: Feels good, ruining a jerk's career.
