The Orville: New Horizons
Thursdays on HuluThe Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Episode 9: "Domino" Quotes
Moclan Ambassador: The Union imposes its values on other cultures while refusing to confront its own hypocrisy. A governance of elitist fools.
Chancellor Teleya: On that we agree.
Mercer: ‘For great achievements, two things are needed: a plan, and not quite enough time.’
Admiral Perry: Churchill.
Isaac: Leonard Bernstein.
We’re talking about exterminating an entire species. I can’t think of anything that runs more contrary to Union values.
Keyali
We believe the quality of mercy is mightiest in the mightiest.
Admiral Halsey
There is always a weakness, Isaac. Your existence is proof of that.
Kaylon Primary
Mercer: It’s a fundamental tenet of Union philosophy that we don’t kill unless we have to. We didn’t have to.
Burke: I just hope those high-minded morals don’t kill us.
Grayson: You know, ever since we lost the Moclans, I’ve had this pit in my stomach about the Kaylon. Wondering how much time we have left. When are they coming for us? And now, it’s all over.
Dr. Finn: So what are we gonna stress about?
Grayson: Today? Hangovers.
Dr. Finn: Ugh. No kidding. It’s mornings like this I’m jealous of Talla.
Grayson: No liver?
Dr. Finn: Yep.
Grayson: Yeah, we were born on the wrong planet.
The fulfillment of a divine purpose eclipses all family bonds.
Teleya
Kaylon Primary: We have reviewed the organizational structure of your Council and its history of deliberations. What you call ‘representative democracy’ is a most inefficient form of governance.
Admiral Halsey: Maybe. But the one thing you can say for democracy is that all other forms of government are even worse. Over thousands of years and on countless planets, it’s the best system anyone’s ever come up with to ensure the strong don’t dominate the weak. At least not for long.
