Matt Kowalski: Listen, do you wanna go back, or do you wanna stay here? I get it. It's nice up here. You can just shut down all the systems, turn out all the lights, and just close your eyes and tune out everyone. There's nobody up here that can hurt...
Matt Kowalski: [On how to use a reentry module to get back to Earth] You just point the damned thing at Earth. It's not rocket science.
Matt Kowalski: You've got to learn to let go.
Matt Kowalski: Half of North America just lost their Facebook.
Ryan Stone: Hey, Matt? Since I had to listen to endless hours of your storytelling this week, I need you to do me a favor. You're gonna see a little girl with brown hair. Very messy, lots of knots. She doesn't like to brush it. But that's okay. Her n...
[opening title card]: At 600KM above planet Earth the temperature fluctuates between +258 and -148 degrees Fahrenheit. There is nothing to carry sound. No air pressure. No oxygen. Life in space is impossible.

Ryan Stone: I know, we're all gonna die. Everybody knows that. But I'm going to die today. Funny that... you know, to know. But the thing is, is that I'm still scared. Really scared. Nobody will mourn for me, no one will pray for my soul. Will you mo...
Matt Kowalski: I know I'm devastatingly good looking but you gotta stop staring at me.
Ryan Stone: You're losing altitude fast, Tiangong. You keep dropping and you're going to kiss the atmosphere. But not without me, because you're my last ride.
Ryan Stone: Clear skies with a chance of satellite debris.
Matt Kowalski: You're the genius up here. I only drive the bus.
Mission Control: Matt, do you have visual on just what Mission Specialist Shariff is doing up there? Matt Kowalski: He appears to be doing some form of the Macarena or that would be just a best guess scenario on my part.
