Brett Bates Quotes
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 21: - 73 Madame President: But in any case, if their intentions were peaceful, don't you think they would try to establish contact? No. We must assume a hostile purpose. Brett Bates: Neri doesn't... didn't have a hostile bone in her body. Madame President: Neri? Brett Bates: Neri, who PRAXIS captured and... who died because of the way they treated her. Madame President: Oh, yes. The alien girl. I see from these reports you'd befriended her. Weren't you taking a tremendous risk? Brett Bates: Risk? No way. Neri was the gentlest person I ever met. All she wanted to do was see everybody live in harmony. The only thing that made her angry was when other people got destructive. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 10: - 62 Dr. Dianne Bates: I don't like this. We're sandwiched between PRAXIS agents, who obviously answer to no one, and these ocean people, of whom we know nothing. Brett Bates: Except they all wanna find Neri as badly as we do. Dr. Dianne Bates: Then, let's see if we can patch H.E.L.E.N. into PRAXIS. Perhaps there's been some communication between the two. Dr. Winston Seth: Indeed, Dianne. If we're gonna be the ham in the sandwich, we might as well add a little mustard. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 5: - 57 Brett Bates: Uh, Dad, this is Neri. Paul Bates: Pleased to meet you, Neri. Neri: You are the father? Paul Bates: [chuckles lightly] Ever been in a helicopter before? Neri: Don't fly. Swim. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 4: - 56 Brett Bates: When in doubt, follow Neri. |
![]() | Season 3 / Episode 15: - 41 Brett Bates: Her name's Camilla and she's a real spunk. For her age. Lena Hellegren: Well, that's nice for Winston. I wish my luck would change. Brett Bates: You want a boyfriend? Lena Hellegren: I meant with H.E.L.E.N. Jason Bates: What? Not going too good? Lena Hellegren: Yesterday, I really thought I was onto something. Today, I spend four hours cross-checking and what does it turn out to be? A weather balloon. |
![]() | Season 3 / Episode 15: - 41 Camilla Sabato: Well, I mean, you've got the whole ocean to play in. You must have seen some amazing things. Brett Bates: Yeah, well, schoolwork and training courses. I mean, we don't exactly spend the whole day splashing around with mermaids. Camilla Sabato: And, um, have you ever seen a mermaid, Brett. Brett Bates: Yeah. Just between you and me, I'm a big fan of the tooth fairy as well. |
![]() | Season 3 / Episode 11: - 37 Brett Bates: You did it, Kal. You were loyal. Benny Malcovitch: Congratulations, Kal. Brett Bates: Excellent. Kal: Loyal feels good. Very good. |
![]() | Season 3 / Episode 11: - 37 Benny Malcovitch: They, like, eat and everything? Brett Bates: Of course they eat, Benny. What did you think? Benny Malcovitch: Well, I didn't know. I've never met anyone from another planet before. Neri: [handing Benny some fruit] You eat also. Brett Bates: I told Benny everything. Even about the Synchronium. He's one of us now. Benny Malcovitch: It's really true this thing can control the seas? Neri: Yes. And I feel the day will come soon when it will be needed. Benny Malcovitch: Amazing. Neri: So, you will help us in our search for all the pieces, Benny? We must find them before the others do. Benny Malcovitch: I'll try, but it does kinda feel a little risky. Kal: Risky. Happy feeling? Benny Malcovitch: Uh-uh. Scary feeling. |
![]() | Season 3 / Episode 10: - 36 Benny Malcovitch: I'll have to tell him exactly what happened. Brett Bates: You can't bring Neri into it. You mustn't tell anyone ever. Benny Malcovitch: I'm not good at lying. Brett Bates: Who is? There's times when you can't tell the truth, at least not all of it. For the sake of everyone. |
![]() | Season 3 / Episode 2: - 28 Brett Bates: Benny, it's not healthy to study all the time. What about having fun? Benny Malcovitch: My dad says there'll be plenty of time for that in the future. Brett Bates: What's the point? By then you'll be too old to enjoy it. |
![]() | Season 3 / Episode 1: - 27 Brett Bates: None of the divers were badly hurt, they reckon. They just can't figure out what happened. Jason Bates: Well, they dropped their grenade and Neri just gave it back to them. Brett Bates: That's right. Dr. Hellegren: I have been waiting for you two. Let me just give you a message you would be very wise to heed. You have both caused me a good deal of trouble in the past. But we are on ORCA permanently now. And if you get in my way again, believe me, you will regret it. |
![]() | Season 3 / Episode 1: - 27 Brett Bates: Is anyone sitting here. Benny Malcovitch: The galley is for the use of all and seats may not be reserved. Brett Bates: Hmm? Benny Malcovitch: ORCA handbook. Rule 517-F, Subsection A. Brett Bates: Oh. What are you doing? Benny Malcovitch: Chemistry homework. Brett Bates: You must be keen. Benny Malcovitch: My folks are. If I don't finish this year top of the class, I'm a dead man. Benny Malcovitch. Brett Bates: Brett Bates. You must be new onboard. Benny Malcovitch: Yeah. Mum and Dad are both in the medical staff. I'm the reason they took the job. Brett Bates: Yeah, right. Benny Malcovitch: Really. Plenty of time to study and no distractions, they reckon. Brett Bates: Benny, meet Mr. Distraction. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 6: - The Institute Mera: They're making me go. Today. Someplace called... UBRI. Zoe Kondelos: UBRI? Mera: You know it. Brett Bates: You bet we do. Jason Bates: It's a bad place, Mera. They use science for the wrong reasons. They tried to trap Cha... a whale. They wanted to take him prisoner. Mera: Prisoner? Brett Bates: That's probably what you'd be, too. Jason Bates: Leave with us now, Mera. Before it's too late. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 4: - Records and Recollections Zoe: There must be some way we can find Neri's sister. Brett Bates: Maybe we could put an ad in the paper under "missing persons". Vanessa: Yeah. "Wanted: girl who fell to earth in space-pod." Great. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 4: - Records and Recollections Brett Bates: Mum's gonna hate. No, first, she's gonna kill me, then she's gonna hate me. Kimberly McGinnis: Sometimes, score reports aren't as bad as you expect. Brett Bates: Yeah, well, mine are always worse. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 12: - Running Tide Jason Bates: Haven't you noticed? Neri's kind of changing. She hasn't even mentioned Charley in the last couple of days. It's like she's... turning off or something. Brett Bates: You know, I'm beginning to wish things were back to the way they were, before any adults interfered. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 11: - The Girl Who Fell From The Sea Jason Bates: She's completely taken Neri over. Brett Bates: Why did she have to find out about her? Jason Bates: Well, we'll just have to stick with them all the time, okay? You know how Mum's like when she's off on a science trip. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 10: - In The Deep End Dr. Dianne Bates: I know she can swim to extraordinary depths at extraordinary speeds without any breathing apparatus. Correct? And as she managed to lift me to the surface, I can only presume she's unusually strong. And... she can communicate with the whale. Is there anything else? Right. First thing tomorrow, I want you to bring her here. Or we can go out and track her down. We'll have no trouble locating her now that the tag is working again. Brett Bates: Neri's special! Jason Bates: You have to promise you won't tell anyone about her. Brett Bates: And you won't hurt her. Dr. Dianne Bates: Of course I'm not going to hurt her. I still don't know if I believe it yet. I mean, if she can talk to this whale... She's dynamite. She could cut short our research by years. She's potentially the most amazing thing that science has seen this century. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 8: - Behind Enemy Lines Brett Bates: These hairy red things are great. What are they called? Neri: I call them "the hairy red things." Here. Have some banana juice. Try. Is good. Brett Bates: How do you get juice out of bananas? Neri: I stomp on them with my feet. [Jason spits out the banana juice] What? Don't you like? Jason Bates: Um, no, it's fine. I was just not as thirsty as I thought I was. Uh, plus it's time to go back. Brett Bates: Yeah. People are starting to wonder where we get to. Is it okay if I take some of these? Neri: Food good? Jason Bates: Uh, yeah, it was great. Neri: You enjoy your visit? Brett Bates: Mmm-hmm. Neri: Now it is your turn. I come visit your place. Jason Bates: You mean ORCA? Neri: Mmm-hmm. Tomorrow. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 7: - Remember When Brett Bates: It's breaking the rules to dive alone. Lee Lucas: Sometimes you have to break the rules. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 5: - Past Imperfect Dr. Winston Seth: Sometimes the whale seems to have something swimming with him. Sometimes it's not there. Jake 'Froggy' Reilly: Why? Dr. Winston Seth: If we knew the answer to that, it would produce ten new questions to puzzle us with. Life, after all, is a mystery, within a mystery... surrounded by a mystery. Brett Bates: Is that another old Chinese saying? Dr. Winston Seth: As a matter of fact, I saw it on last week's episode of Star Trek. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 4: - Hell N' High Water Jason Bates: Who else could've told her? Brett Bates: Yeah, but how do they do it? Do they rap away in her language or in his? Jason Bates: Look, I don't know. But until we get some straight answers, we'll just have to live with the fact that she and this whale can actually talk somehow. Brett Bates: Wouldn't Mum be cheesed off if she knew? I mean, she's sitting in there with a trillion dollars worth of equipment trying to do the same thing. Jason Bates: Yeah, that's why we gotta keep our mouths shut. If they knew, they'd be all over Neri like a rash. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 4: - Hell N' High Water Neri: Safe? Mother and friends, are they... cool? Brett Bates: Hey, she's starting to speak like a real person these days. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Secrets Brett Bates: Does this mean we can't even tell Mum? Jason Bates: Especially not Mum. If she knew about the girl and the whale... Well, you know how she is about her job. And in no time flat, everyone in ORCA would know. Besides, I don't want to share her. So, as long as we keep Neri our little secret, little bro, we got some great times ahead. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 2: - Bad-Berry Dreams Neri: You eat bad berries. Drink, or you go away forever. Brett Bates: You don't mean... die? Neri: Now you sleep. I must go be wet. Brett Bates: Huh? Neri: If I am away from water long, I feel bad. Sick. I be back soon. Brett Bates: Who are you? What's your name? Neri: Neri. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 1: - Strange Encounters Brett Bates: There's one thing that explains it all, of course. You've finally gone crazy. Jason Bates: I'm not crazy, you little creep. Brett Bates: That's what crazy people always say though, isn't it? Jason Bates: Listen. I did see a girl. I don't know how and I don't know why, but she must be out there somewhere. And I'm going to prove it. Even if I have to stay here for the rest of my life, I'm not leaving until I find her. |
