Quotes:

Dominar Rygel XVI: [over the comms] Crichton?
John Crichton: Yeah, Ryg.
Dominar Rygel XVI: There's a wrinkled old woman floating outside the forward portal.
John Crichton: Whoa. Gigantic oops.
[to D'Argo]
John Crichton: Can you do me a favor? Pop outside the tier three treblin side hatch and haul Granny in.
General Ka D'Argo: Noranti is outside?
John Crichton: Yeah. Don't? don't ask. She's got some red Play-Doh in her pocket. A dose of that and she should be all right.
