Quotes

• Berto Mercado: Just because the asteroid killed the dinosaur doesn't mean the dinosaur can't pause and acknowledge the asteroid's beauty. It's in our nature to want to be other than we are. It's what makes humanity great. We are creatures of incredible curiosity. We envy the flight of birds, and we build wings. Born earthbound, we reach for the stars. Never be ashamed of trying to be better than what you are, and cherish the moments you get to spend in a place like this, You can be anything you want here. Be brave, be strong, confident. Every eye here is fixed upon you.

....

• Meh Yewll: There's two kinds of friends in this world. Kind that helps you hide a dead whore, and me.

....

• Jalina: (during sex) My master is Datak Tarr!
• Datak Tarr: Wait wait wait wait. What do you think you're doing?
• Jalina: Saying your name.
• Datak Tarr: Well, I know who I am.
• Jalina: I thought you'd like it.
• Datak Tarr: Well, hearing my name over and over again... you think I'm some kind of egomaniac?
• Jalina: No...
• Datak Tarr: Good girl.

....

• Meh Yewll: You should be looking for a doctor. Specifically one with surgical skills.
• Joshua Nolan: One like, I don't know, you, for example?
• Meh Yewll: Not the only doctor in Defiance.
• Joshua Nolan: You are the biggest liar I know.
• Meh Yewll: Stop. You're making me blush.
