[Dr. Rush walks into the mess hall]
Colonel Everett Young : Dr. Rush, have a seat. These two have even showered.
Dr. Nicholas Rush : No, thanks.
Colonel Everett Young : Aw, come on, we should celebrate.
Dr. Nicholas Rush : Celebrate what? That we're back where we started?
[Eli lowers and shakes his head]
Lt. Matthew Scott : Aw, come on, have seat, Rush.
Dr. Nicholas Rush : Some other time.
Colonel Everett Young : All right, well, Becker, give him a double ration. He deserves it.
Dr. Nicholas Rush : Why's that then?
Colonel Everett Young : I'm in a good mood!
Dr. Nicholas Rush : We're to be rewarded at your whim, then?
Colonel Everett Young : No, no... just stop. What, you want- you want some reasons? I'll... I'll give you three. You were right about the power situation.
Dr. Nicholas Rush : Not really.
Colonel Everett Young : You figured out the subspace communications, how to call the shuttle.
Dr. Nicholas Rush : We needed to get those supplies back.
Colonel Everett Young : You took your name out of the lottery.
Dr. Nicholas Rush : So did you.
Colonel Everett Young : I was injured. You actually made a sacrifice.
[Dr. Rush shakes his head, looks Young silently in the eyes]
Colonel Everett Young : [considers] Unless you knew... that Destiny was going to make it all along.
Dr. Nicholas Rush : Cheers, everyone.

Colonel Everett Young : There's a rumor spreading that we're still here.
Dr. Nicholas Rush : We are. Destiny needed all its power reserves to protect itself, and us.
Eli Wallace : Uh, guys? We're *in* the star.
Colonel Everett Young : That can't be right. We're talkin' thousands of degrees.
Dr. Nicholas Rush : Well, we've just flown through the corona, which is even hotter, to say nothing of magnetic fields, gravitational stresses. This is what Destiny intended from the moment it entered this star system.
Colonel Everett Young : You're telling me it flew into the sun on purpose?
Dr. Nicholas Rush : Yes.
Colonel Everett Young : Why?
Dr. Nicholas Rush : To replenish its reserves.
Colonel Everett Young : You're telling me this ship...
Dr. Nicholas Rush : The ship is powered by the stars themselves. Solar powered, quite literally. There is no other explanation.
