Marsala[about Burns and Bronsky who were captured by Neosapiens]: By now, they could be almost anywhere on the planet.
Kaz Takagi[sarcastically]: Oh now that's a great attitude.
Marsala: It is equally probable that they are no longer alive.
Kaz Takagi: We'll find her, we have to!
Marsala: I am simply pointing out probabilities.
Kaz Takagi: How can you be so calm about it? Don't you care?
Marsala: I do not express my feelings the way you do. That does not mean I feel less. Concern for friends is common to all humans, and we Neosapiens are very much human. If Terrans had remembered that, perhaps this war would never have been fought.

Thrax: What about you?
Glycon: I will lead the counterattack.
Thrax: You are sacrificing yourself for nothing.

Thrax: It seemed like a good idea at the time. [puts his arms down and calmly walks away]

Admiral Winfield (VO): I have once asked Cpt. Avery Butler what was the hardest thing about commanding a jumptroop platoon. He said, a platoon leader sends a personal message to the family of every trooper lost in action - that's the hardest thing.
