Admiral Perry: You're to rendezvous with the Krill vessel D'Voracos in twelve hours are Terra Zed 3.
Grayson: The D'Voracos?
Admiral Perry: Yes, it means 'Bringing of Blood.'
Mercer: Oh, that's cool.

Grayson: Captain Mercer, meet Captain Dalak
Mercer: It's good to meet you, Captain. We owe you one.
Dalak: Try to stay out of our way.

Dr. Finn: Lots of people say that home is wherever you make it.
Isaac: A human cliche.
Dr. Finn: Cliches become cliched precisely because they're valid enough to bear endless repetition.

Isaac: I am using my optical scanners to construct a spectrographic image of Kaylon. The star is very distant but repeated efforts will eventually yield a result.
Dr. Finn: You're taking a picture of home.

Halsey: I want a safeguard. An off-switch of some kind to make sure we can control him.
Mercer: That's exactly what caused the genocide on his home planet. We can't keep him in servitude like his Kaylon builders did.

Keyali: [Isaac] saved us. We have to try to save him.
Malloy: Yeah, but the only reason he HAD to save us is because he screwed us in the first place.

Captain, it seems we have a common enemy. I hope that means we can work towards finding a common ground.

Grayson: I don't want to know.

Malloy: Piloting a shuttle out of the bay while the ship's at quantum speed is incredibly dangerous.
Grayson: How dangerous?
Malloy: On Day 1 of pilot training, they tell you don't ever attempt it.

Mercer: I've been on board a Krill ship. You haven't
Grayson: I'll take Gordon. He was there with you.
Malloy: Oh, man. Pee corner's looking real good right now.

The Orville Quotes

Mercer: I know Gordon has his issues but we all know that there's nobody that can drive a starship like him.
Admiral: Didn't he once draw a penis on the main viewing screen of Outpost T-85?
Mercer: He's drawn a lot of penises on a lot of things.

Mercer: I've had some personal stuff that's been going on... It's not really worth going into... Can I have one of these mints?
Admiral: Those are marbles.
