Ransom: We have a mission briefing. I expect you to be early.
Mariner: It doesn’t start for an hour!
Ransom: I know. You’re almost late for being early. Move it!

Boimler: No matter how careful I am, no matter how hard I try, I feel like I’m going to be an ensign for the rest of my life.

Kranch: There are only three types of prey. You are the first type, immobilized by your fear. The second type scurries away to hide, delaying the inevitable.
Boimler: Um, what’s the third kind?

Mandrik, Psychic Baby Leader: How dare you question our method of governance? Throw them in the volcano!

Boimler: Dr. T’ana says it’ll probably always feel a little off but it’s fine.

Mariner: Plus nerve damage.

Boimler: Old Boimler was into moderation. Bold Boimler’s into boldness. I confidently enter the bar and demand bloodwine. [rolls dice]
Martok: The bartender rips your arm off and kills you with it. It is not an honorable death since technically you have died by your own hand.
Boimler: Ah, whatever. I’m still gonna be bold.
