That Hope Is You, Part 1 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.

  • 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.
