John: "That why you were torturing him when I met you?"
Scorpius: "That's right. Crystherium growth requires very specific and rare conditions. The Scarrans... can only propel their power forward from these very few locations."
John: "And destroying a bunch of flowers is supposed to set 'em back?"
Scorpius: "For hundreds of cycles."

Flash...
John: "Why?"
Harvey has another cup of coffee. He takes it away from his mouth: "Cause they need 'em... Scarrans... simplistic, brutish creatures."
John fiddles with the cigarette lighter.
Harvey: "Shoulda died out generations ago."
John: "What happens if they eat the flower?"
Harvey: "Big brains... evolutionarily competitive. Eh... you know. Staleek, Ahkna."
John: "And if they don't eat 'em?"
Harvey leans forward: "Yer dog could beat 'em at checkers! Huh!" He takes a drink of coffee.
John reaches over and knocks the cup out of Harvey's hand. It lands on the floor beside the first cup.
Harvey: "Hey!"
Flash...

Scorpius: "Though Stark provided many details, I was unable to learn of Katratzi's location.
You... rescued him... prior to that breakthrough."
John: "Sorry to stitch ya up."
Scorpius: "No you're not. You were taking too long with the wormholes, John. Reality... provides opportunity. I needed some way to hurt the Scarrans... now."
Falls icvh mal was nicht ganz verstehe, dann scheue ich immer bei Xenajules2 vorbei. Dort gibt es jede Folge zum nachlesen.
