Jetsam

The Expanse 4×2

Miller: Okay, so what do we got here? We reach out and reach out and reach out, flipping and flipping and flipping switches like a goddamn monkey to see if something clicks. What do we got to show for it? Coins in the pockets. They die and leave it all behind.

Dr. Elvi Okoye: Life on Earth developed using potassium, carbon, and calcium, but it could just as easily have been arsenic, silicon, and iron. To us, this looks like a machine, but on this planet, it could be an organism.

Chrisjen: Sometimes I fucking hate being right.

Arjun: I never thought I'd see the aurora borealis on Mars.
Chrisjen: That's what you get when you make a magnetosphere...
Arjun: They made their own clouds. Brings to mind the people who built the great Gothic cathedrals, knowing they'd be long dead before the work was finished, trusting that their great-grandchildren would lay the final stones. We've lost that kind of generational thinking on Earth.

Dr. Elvi Okoye: Three biomes, then... Whatever made the protomolecule, the local biosphere, and now us. That's a lot of interacting systems. There's no way to tell how they'll mix.

Bobbie: You're welcome, sir. And respectfully, if you married Chrisjen... you're a hell of a lot braver than I ever was.

Chrisjen: My dear friend Admiral Michael Souther once said, "The war does not end when people put down their guns. It ends when they reconcile. Until then, the war has only paused."

Camina: Truth is truth. How you deal with it is up to you.

Chrisjen: Come and work for me... Fuck these people. If they don't see how glorious you are, they don't deserve you.

Amos: I'm gonna sleep outside. It's like Earth here, except... less pollution and more moons.

Miller: Back on Ceres...
Holden: Fuck!
Miller: ...we'd get this water theft.

Holden: No cop stories.
Miller: Hey, it's got a moral.
Holden: I don't give a shit.

Miller: Hey, we're all doing someone else's dirty work, kid.

Naomi: Jim, I don't know what that ghost is telling you, but the last time you stuck your hand in something for Miller, it put you in a coma...

Alex: What in the hell did you do?
