Why are you still with me, Fry? CyFi asks after one of his body-shaking seizures. Any sane dude woulda taken off days ago. Who says I'm sane? Oh, you're sane, Fry. You're so sane, you scare me. You're so sane, it's insane.

Normally Connor would walk away from a conversation like this. His life is about tangibles: things you can see, hear and touch. God, souls, and all that has always been like a secret in a black box he couldn't see into, so it was easier just to leave it alone. Only now, he's inside the black box.

So, says Lev, as casually as he can, you wanna dance? Do you believe in the end of the world? she responds. Lev shrugs. I don't know. Why? Because the day after that is when I'll dance with you.

Sure, when you're in the midst of your own suffering, it's easy to convince yourself that you're no good—but we are all tested in this life...The measure of a man is not how much he suffers in the test, but how he comes out at the end.

Leadership is about keeping toilets flushing, the Admiral once said. Unless you're on the battlefront. Then it's about staying alive. Neither are pleasant.

The Admiral's using us, he says to the kids around him. Don't you see that? Most of the kids just shrug, but Hayden's there, and he never misses an opportunity to add his peculiar wisdom to a situation. I'd rather be used whole than in pieces, Hayden says.
