Quotes 

• Diana : Well, Lydia, this time, you've overstepped the bounds of even your ego. I demand an explanation for this cowardly withdrawal.

  Lydia : Actually, I'm not the person you should speaking to. I'm merely following orders.

  Philip : I was the one who issued the troop recall, Diana.

  Diana : Under whose authority, may I ask?

  Philip : The leader's. He's declared that all hostilities be immediately terminated.

  Lt. James : Why? When we're so close to victory?

  Philip : Apparently, lieutenant, the reports of your success have somehow become overly exaggerated.

  Diana : I can't imagine how.

  Lydia : Oh, I can.

  Philip : Regardless, the war is over. The leader himself is due to arrive here to take personal charge of the peace negotiations.

  Diana : Peace negotiations? You engineered this, didn't you? You're a traitor, just like your brother Martin.

  Philip : We both know that's a lie, Diana. Fortunately, the leader knows it as well. The truth is, Diana, the leader's lost confidence in you. Your voice will no longer be heard.

• Philip : This time you've gone too far, Diana. This is mutiny.

  Diana : Call it whatever you like. But before you attempt to override my authority, be sure that your forces are willing to listen to the orders of a commander whose friends assassinated our leader.

  Philip : You'll never get away with this, Diana.

  Diana : I already have, you fool. The one mistake you made was growing soft inside. For that, you'll pay. Take them somewhere where they don't be dangerous to anyone else, or to themselves. Prepare them for permanent orbit around an asteroid of your choice. Farewell, my friends.

• Philip : I take it you know these people.

  Diana : Intimately.

  Lydia : Skilled fighters, all.

  Diana : Yes, it's almost a pity that we won't meet in combat again.

  Dr. Julie Parrish : Why Diana, I didn't know that you could feel pity. Maybe things are changing.

  Diana : I meant no disrespect. After all, if it weren't for the armistice, how else would I get the legendary Donovan in my grasp...
