Crusade (1999)

Daniel Dae Kim: Lt. John Matheson

Quotes 

• John Matheson : The more you make a big deal out of denying something, the more people think it must be true.

• Captain Matthew Gideon : I can see every detail of the Earth's surface as clearly as we're seeing it now. But after my father died, I tried to remember his face, but it always slipped away from me. Why is that I wonder.

  John Matheson : Maybe it's because we can't decide which face to remember: the face of our father when we were children, the face of our father the first left home, the face of our father the last time we saw him. They all blur together we lose the details. But Earth is constant. Earth is forever.

  Captain Matthew Gideon : You're too young to be having thoughts this old Lieutenant.

• Gideon : Refresh me, Lieutenant. How did we get into the middle of this again?

  John Matheson : I believe it was an act of mercy, sir.

  Gideon : Remind me never to do that again.

  John Matheson : Aye, sir. No good deed goes unpunished.

  Gideon : I'll have that embroidered on a sampler when we have time.

• John Matheson : [seeing Galen in the transporter]  You like going nowhere at 120 miles an hour?

  Galen : Of course, that is man's natural condition.
