Martin: The Leader wants them living. Some of them will be made into troops for battles with his enemy.
Mike Donovan: And the others?
Martin: In addition to the water... there is another basic shortage on our planet.
Mike Donovan: Food!
Abraham Bernstein: If you are going to defy them, do it right...
Abraham Bernstein: ... For Victory.
Michael Donovan: You always said it couldn't happen here... Then one day we woke up and we were living in a Fascist state.
Mike Donovan: That damn dragon lady can bend people's minds around, what the hell does she need a blowtorch for!
Martin: Conversion is a very difficult and time consuming operation. When Diana simply needs some information, she'll do whatever's most effective and efficient... And she likes to do it.
Bill Graham: Hurry Up!
Celeb Talyor: Look Man, I ain't ever missed with stuff like this before and I'd just as soon not get my hands blowed off, okay?
Mike Donovan: How'd someone like that get to be your leader anyway?
Martin: Charisma. Circumstances, promises... Not enough of us spoke out to question him until it was too late. It happens on your planet, doesn't it?
Diana: Another pass... I want to get that woman.
Martin: You know Diana, rather than putting Mr. Donovan away, he might prove very useful to us as a convert.
Diana: My instincts tell me he'd be too difficult as a subject. That's why I decided not to bother. Take him to the final area.
Martin: I always thought you thrived on challenges...
Diana: I do, but I like better odds.
Martin: That's curious, I would've have thought you'd find the difficult game far more interesting. But anyway, you're probably right. I don't think even you with all your abilities could ever turn this head of his...
Diana: Martin wait. Don't take him to the final area just yet... Perhaps I would enjoy the challenge of converting him.
Martin: Well, as you wish Diana.
Josh Brooks: What is it?
Mike Donovan: It's a key.
Josh Brooks: That's gonna get you into what?
Mike Donovan: The belly of the whale.
Eleanor Dupres: I know the Visitors aren't saints. But they're in power! They are power... You and I are in unique positions, don't you see that? Why not take advantage of...
Mike Donovan: Because I can't survive at the expense of other people, it's not right! You know, when I was a kid, there was a woman who taught me what was right and what was wrong... I wonder whatever became of her.
