"Truth be told, we couldn't afford to show that anyway." - Shuttle Pilot

"You don't need to know how something works in order to use it." - Mark, talking about the warp core

"It's not gonna be like last time, oh no. This time, the Invincible is finally gonna live up to her name!" - Mark

"Did Mark's stupid ship design cause a problem again?" - Celi

"Do any of our choices matter? Does anything matter? I need to know: have we been here before?" - The Bandit

"The multiverse is littered with the corpses of your failures." - Old Lady

"Captain? I was hoping you'd be back. It's gotten real dark out there. I imagine that... this is probably the end. Don't worry about not stopping me sooner. I'm starting to realize that even though we have infinite choices, every single second of our lives, there's only a handful that really, really matter. You know what's funny? I don't know why, but I'm... I'm happy. I don't know any other way to explain it. I'm content with everything. Being this close to an end... finally, an end! And seeing you again just... I don't know. It's good. It's good. For a while there, I felt like I was right back there again, living every single life again and again. Never stopping, always moving forward and... But now, it's calm. It's calm. Everything has to end, Captain. It has to. It doesn't matter how tightly you hold on to things, they'll still just slip right through your fingers. You'll always make mistakes. You have to. And that's okay. I just wish I learned that sooner. For what it's worth... I'm glad I got to share this adventure with you." - Old Mark, waiting for the end


"That's not me, Captain. That's not me."
- Mark shriveled in the corner looking at himself
