Holden: Did you just say you were gonna use the Nauvoo as a battering ram?
Miller: That’s well put.
Naomi: The Nauvoo is the biggest ship ever built — a cathedral. What do the Mormons have to say about this plan?
Johnson: We’re commandeering the ship.
Holden: You’re insane. And you might be, too, for listening to this lunatic.
Miller: ...I’ve never done a spacewalk before and kid here says it’s better than sex. I dunno if he can really make that comparison, y’know.
Diogo: Y’don’t undastan’ nuteen’. Me crush ass to dust!
Naomi: You’re doing this for Julie? But you know that destroying Eros won’t rid us of all the Protomolecule. You know what we hid out there. Did you tell Fred?
Miller: Nope. This mission, this is on me. But uh, that sample, that’s on you. You make sure you do the right thing with it.
The things you’ve no doubt heard me say, the things I’ve blamed on you...those words were lies, a façade to protect myself...because you were right. There are people in my government who are willing to take us to the brink of annihilation for reasons that I still cannot fathom. But like you, I want to stop this war. So now, I’m asking you for help. I need evidence...anything I can use to turn the guns of Earth and Mars away from each other before it’s too late. If you have any cards left in your hand, the time to play them is now.

Miller: The system rules you, kid. Always has.
Diogo: Even more reason I choose to fight.
Miller: You don’t choose anything. You’re born into it man, one side or the other. You play it out. You know in those inners, we figure out what’s on Eros that killed every last one of us to get it.
Diogo: Us?
Miller: Belters. Us...Belters.
Capt. Holden: We fought for nothing. People died. We nearly died. Miller...
Naomi: He got you out of Eros alive.
Capt. Holden: He shot an unarmed man, right in the head.
Naomi: An unarmed mass murderer.
Amos: Captain always gets a little jumpy when you kill people without talkin’ it over first.
Miller: Yeah, I’m sure you would’ve asked for permission, too.
Amos: Well here’s the thing: You and me, we’re a lot alike. We’ve been around. But the captain...he’s as close to righteous as it gets out here.
Pvt. Travis: ... your hometown’s only named after you because your family infested it like some hyper-breeding rats.
Pvt. Hillman: ...we needed more real dust-eating Martians. Too many Earthers as it is.
Sgt. Draper: Hey!
Pvt. Travis: What? I see the way y’all look at me. Hmmm? Like I don’t belong here.
Sgt. Billie Draper: No one’s questioning your patriotism.
Pvt. Hillman: Simmer down there, cowpoke.
Pvt. Travis: You know something, I earned my iron, Hilly. Your family just bought your way into the Corps.
I wake up some nights and I’ll see her standing right there. She takes my hand. She tells me, ‘You belong with me.’

I thought I was done with all this — sending people to their deaths.
OPA Leader Fred Johnson
I just...hate...space!
Miller
The ticket out of the limitations that bind us to these pathetic little bubbles of rock and air. If we master it, we can apply it. We become our own gods. Imagine human beings able to live in hard vacuum without a suit or under the crushing atmosphere of a gas giant...able to hibernate long enough to travel to the stars...without this work, humanity will be left unarmed, ignorant and vulnerable to an enemy who already has fired the first shot.

Julie died for the Belt. She believed everything you guys say you’re fighting for.
