"Would you?"

"Oh, in a second. But that's so human. That is so human. Where angels fear to tread. Even now, stranding on the edge. It's that feeling you get, yeah? Right at the back of your head. That impulse, that strange little impulse, that mad little voice saying 'go on, go on, go on, go over, go on....' Maybe it's relying on that. For once in my life, Officer Scott, I'm going to say.... retreat. Ohh. Now I know I'm getting old."

Humans who travelled all across space, flying in a tiny little rocket, right into the orbit of a black hole just for the sake of discovery! That's Amazing! D'you hear me? Amazing! All of you. The captain. His officer. His juniors. His friends. All with one advantage. The beast is alone. We are not. If we can use that to find that against him..."
