Quotes 

• Aditya Sahil : Commander Burnham, now I'll tell you a secret. I'm not a commissioned officer. You see, my father was, his father before him. But, unlike them, I was never officially sworn in. There has been no one to do it. Yet, I watched this office every day, as I have for 40 years, believing one day, others like me would walk through that door; that my hope was not in vain. Today is that day. And that hope is you, Commander Burnham.

  Michael Burnham : [to Booker, smiling]  True believers.

• Ithor the Orion : [referring to Booker]  What cargo was he hauling?

  Michael Burnham : I don't know, but it was temperature-sensitive, and really valuable, so it's probably ice cream.

• Cleveland Booker : You believe in ghosts.

  Michael Burnham : What does that mean?

  Cleveland Booker : That badge on your shirt. Sometimes you see a guy with one of those badges getting himself all worked up about the Federation. The old days. True believers. Can't handle that it's gone.

• Cleveland Booker : This is what my planet used to be like. Until I had to leave it behind. How much did you leave behind?

  Michael Burnham : Nine hundred and thirty years.

  Cleveland Booker : Why?

  Michael Burnham : To ensure the future. *A* future.

  Cleveland Booker : Thank you.

• Michael Burnham : I may have broken your nose earlier. I apologize.

  Cleveland Booker : You saying that in case we die?

  Michael Burnham : Yup.
