| Pike : | "So, what do you think of this whole Korby-Christine thing?" |
| M'Benga : | "Ah, Chris, do I have to remind you I have three ex-wives?" |
| Pike : | "Well, four, technically." |
| M'Benga : | "That was an annulment. But the next one..." |
| Pike : | "Physician heal thyself?" |
| M'Benga : | "I like to consider myself a work in progress." |

| Una : | "Lieutenant. Does Commander Pelia plan to grace us with her presence?" |
| Scott : | "She, uh, got delayed and sent me." |
| Una : | "Nice try. I know she hates these meetings. Sit." |

| Pike : | "The crops that Chapel mentioned." |
| M'Benga : | "They used an agent from the chimera blossom to modify them with genes from a perennial moss. A moss that could live and grow anywhere. It lays dormant but never dies." |
| Pike : | "A hybrid supercrop. Wow. That would feed a lot of Federation colonists." |
| M'Benga : | "Only things went to hell when the Klingons invaded. They attacked. With no regard for safety protocols. And everyone in the facility was exposed. It inserted moss genome into their bodies. This moss consumes every plant around it... to proliferate. And now that is what they're doing. Devouring anything that breathes." |
| Pike : | "That sounds like the "Z" word. Wait, we're breathing that same air." |
| M'Benga : | "The agent would've broken down long ago." |
| Pike : | "Now I see why you were so careful about that chimera blossom." |

| M'Benga : | "I assassinated Rah." |
| Pike : | "Joseph..." |
| M'Benga : | "I could have stopped it. But a mass murderer gave me the opportunity to kill him. And I did. Willingly. I would do it again. So yes. His blood is on my hands. Was that dishonorable? I don't know. But there was justice. I lied to protect the monster that still lives inside me. Should the day come when he is needed again." |
