The Orville 2×7

Bortus: He was once my kodashik... What you would call an "old boyfriend."

Topa: What is a relationship?
Bortus: It is what comes before the egg.

Gordon: When Moclans break up, is there, like, all that stabbing, like with the divorce?
Bortus: No. Each Moclan extracts a tooth and leaves it with his former mate.
Gordon: Yeah. I knew it had to be something like that.

Gordon: Do you still have the tooth?
Bortus: No. It is given to the next mate.
Gordon: Uh, let me guess... He eats it.
Bortus: That is correct.
Gordon: Yes! Man, I'm getting so good at this.

Kelly: Malloy, don't be cocky. They have to hit us for the test to work.
Gordon: Yes, sir. Dumbing it down.

Gordon: You know, there's something seriously wrong with all of us when the most stable relationship on the Orville is Isaac's.

Lt. Keyali: The galaxy is full of so many unhappy people. Why ignore something good?

Talla: It's about subtlety. Little nonverbal moves your partner responds to. Try leading.
Locar: "Leading"?
Talla: Use physical communication to tell me how you want me to move.

Kelly: It's the perfect murder. A holographic weapon that vaporizes its target and then vanishes. And no body.

Capt. Mercer: Look, nobody's saying this isn't messed up, and we're not trying to go all HR on you here...

Talla: This has to be the most insane thing that's ever happened on this ship!
Lamarr: One time I almost died 'cause I humped a statue.
Gordon: Isaac once cut my leg off.
Lamarr: The captain and commander, they got put in a zoo.
Gordon: And Bortus almost crashed the ship 'cause of porn.
Talla: I see.
