Primal Urges

The Orville 2×2

Alara: It looks so... sad and lonely.
Isaac: The penchant for biological life-forms to anthropomorphize inanimate objects is irrational. I am quite certain the planet is unaware of its solitary status.

Dr. Finn: Wait a minute. You're saying any time somebody on your planet wants a divorce, they just murder their spouse?

Capt. Mercer: They mutilate their female babies. They kill each other when they want a divorce. What do they do when it's someone's birthday? Light the parents on fire?
Kelly: I know we're supposed to be tolerant of alien customs, but man, there's got to be a limit.

Alara: Sir, if you don't mind, I'd like to stick around... just in case there's another divorce.

Gordon: How bad? Like, "Ouch, I got a sunburn bad," or "I just opened the Ark of the Covenant" bad?
Lamarr: The Ark. Like, melty-faced awfulness.

Isaac: You are a primitive organism. I simply wish to expand my understanding of the behavioral impulse.
Bortus: You think you are smarter than us? Figure it out on your own.

Isaac: I am aware that billions of years of evolution have programmed your chemical mechanisms with a desire to breed fruitfully. I am curious to know how it feels.
Bortus: It is... a call... from deep within. Like a baby seeking its mother's teat. It feels as if nothing else in the world matters but... satisfying the urge and achieving the goal my body has demanded of me. Then, as quickly as it began, it is complete, leaving a worn-out shell in its wake. And the only feeling I am left with, the only thing I know, is that... a death has occurred.
Isaac: I see. It is prudent that you are in therapy.

Theece: Make a life out there with Nathius. A beautiful life among the stars.
Altox: All the days we'll never have...
Theece: Your heart is full of the days we did.

Capt. Mercer: Porn virus aside... I am very grateful to have you on board.
