Terl: "Would you please tell the senator that if I had even an inkling that that was his daughter⋯"
Zete: "Watch your tongue! The senator's exact words to me were, and I'm quoting; that blasted Terl tries to talk his way out of it, have him vaporized on the spot. But cheer up, there's one bright side to this. One day you're going to die, and when you end up in Hell, at least it'll be a step up from this place. [laughs maniacally]"

Zete: "Home office is well aware of your academic achievements and obvious talents. That's why we decided not to keep you here for another 5 cycles."
Terl/Ker: "(T) laughs in relief] / (K) [joins in] It's a joke!" (T) "Oh; Thank you, sir. I don't know if I could have kept my sanity to be here another 5 cycles."
Zete: "We've decided to keep you here for another 50 cycles! [echoing; as the camera zooms in on Terl] With endless options for renewal! [laughs maniacally. slow motion as Terl looks at Zete and the Planetship and his assistant laughing and sneering at him] [echo effect] Those options, of course⋯ [echo ends] being at home office's discretion, not yours. The senator⋯ [echo] has a lot of friends."

Ker: "I don't know what you're so down about. You still get to be head of security, which, from what I can tell, is a pretty cushy job."
Terl: "Well: I can assure you that I was not groomed since birth to have some cushy job that even a moron like you could perform. While you were still learning how to spell your name; I was being trained to conquer galaxies! To do anything less is a disgrace to my entire family line."
