CHOICE OR CHANCE

Elroy EL1327 to Wang:
"You can call me Elroy-El 1327. I was designed as a humor model -- a silicate to make you smile."

Damphousse about the AIs:
"They're like the living dead, they have no souls."

Feliciti to Vansen and Phousse:
"That's the problem with you carbonites. You meet someone by chance, at school, work, just by chance.
But then you make it a choice to bring them into your life, for a night, for a year, for a lifetime.
Sometimes you choose to stay with a person so long that, right before your eyes, you watch them die.
So, why wait a lifetime? Our employers have decided. One of you is to be executed and the other will spend
her life working in the mine. And they're leaving the choice, up to you."

Feliciti to Vansen and Damphousse:
"Choice or chance - chance or choice."

Feliciti and Vansen:
Feliciti: "I understand you've made a choice."
Vansen: "And it is to say that you can stick it in any artificial orifice of your choice."
Feliciti: "That's not what I heard."

"Alright, let's move out. Keep your 5 irons down."

Hawkes:
"Either way, we're gonna get greased."

And the 58th, I know they're alive. And now, I'm ask...I'm begging you, to have faith."

Vansen, West, Wang and Hawkes:
Vansen: "So, we play by their rules. They ambushed our Red Croix, they boobytrapped our wounded!
I say we give it right back to them. We use the 61st as bait."
West: "Bait. The bodies of marines?"
Vansen: "There are no rules here."
West: "Yes! Our rules! The rules that keep us human!
Wang: "We're not fighting humans."
Hawkes: "Yeah, when this is all played out, there's nobody gonna say who was right and who was wrong,
it's gonna be who stayed alive."
West: "So, what do you say we do?"
Vansen: "Fire with fire. We put the 61st in our uniforms, just in case the chigs know.
We put out a distress call that the chigs will monitor. When they come in to ambush us,
we'll have the perimeter planted with motion sensor and clamor mines, we ambush them"

McQueen to the 58th:
"Your asses weren't the only thing West saved."

Hawkes to West:
"The 61st were dead, and they saved us. Then we were dead and you saved us.
So ain't nobody forgetting nobody here they served with, dead or alive."

Vansen to West:
"We'd be chipped beef on chig toast if it wasn't for you."

Wang to West:
"Me, I knew you'd find us. Otherwise, you'd be too ticked off I lost your knife."

Jesus of Nazareth was born on September 15, 7 BC."
Hawkes: "Nazareth and Christ. Now who are those guys?"
Winslow: "It's one guy."
Damphousse: "And he was born in Bethlem. A star directed three wise men from
the East who believed the Son of God had been born."
Wang: "And this star was actually a rare alignment between Jupiter and Saturn
or possibly a supernova or maybe even a comet."
Vansen: "He was conceived in the miracle of the Immaculate Conception."
Winslow: "His mom and dad didn't... do it."
Wang: "The myth, of Immaculate Conception."
Hawkes: "Like an in vitro."

Damphousse to the 58th about West:
"Let's face it, Nathan is a little different from the rest of us."

Vansen to the 58th about West:
"Nathan's not just some guy pining away for his girlfriend. She's become his faith,
something he would die for, because he believes it's right."

Ross and McQueen:
Ross: "You and I both know what that signal is from..."
McQueen: "It's an enemy transmission, sir."
Ross: "Probably desinformation. They are aware we're conducting a Search and Rescue."
McQueen: "That's why a fighter escort for the rescue vehicle, sir... Why doesn't one of us come out and say what we are afraid these signals could be."
Ross: "Setting up an ambush..."
McQueen: "Presenting us with a gift."
Ross: "I wouldn't bet on that."

McQueen:
"Looks like I got two gifts."
