Season 1

Fetch

• Garbage calls to conclusion an unheard pitch to the local species, and then concludes it with:
  Garbage: Please? Please please please please please? Let humans live here!
  • The alien leader is thoroughly unimpressed that Garbage's pitch is that humans destroyed their own planet (accidentally) then genetically engineered dogs to find them a new one. When the leader asks why they should share their planet with humans, Garbage clarifies that humans don't "share" but the aliens can be humans' best friends like dogs, though they may have to get neutered.
    Alien Leader: I think we'll pass.
• During the escape from the aliens Nomi saves Ed's life. Ed repays her by giving her a gold locket.
  Nomi: Hey, this is mine!
  Ed: And now it's yours forever.

  Nomi: Question. Is it technically a windshield if we're in space?
  • Before long the entire crew begins to argue about It.

Here, Girl!

  Nomi: What about this one?
  Kira: Inactive lava.
  Nomi: So, just a rock?
  Kira: Yeah.
  Nomi: NICE!
• Kira says how happy she is that the humans finally sent a rescue party for her, only to falter when she notices the reactions on Garbage, Stella and Chonies faces. What turns this from a sad moment to a hilarious one is Nomi's complete inability to read the room.
  Kira: I can't believe they finally sent a rescue party. You know it's funny, I started to think maybe the humans just left me out here [Garbage, Stella and Chonies wince awkwardly] to...
  Nomi: [excitedly] To what? [Starry-eyed] To what?!
• Garbage projects his own sadness over being separated from his owner on to Kira.

Spin

• Kira's pep talk for herself.

• Nomi pitches ideas that Kira can do with the crew, concluding with karaoke.

  Nomi: Anywhere can be a karaoke bar if you have no sense of [sings] a sha-aaame!

Who's a Good Boy?

• Loaf prerecords affirmations for himself. One of them congratulates him on still being alive, "despite what that fortune cookie said".
• The crew lands on a planet that seems perfect for humanity, until they breathe in the air and realize it stinks.
  Stella: Try to breathe through your mouth! [pinches her nose then coughs] No, now I can taste it! Try to breathe through your eyes! [eyes water]
  Ed: It smells like the leg-cast... my owner wore for seven years so he could continue collecting disability! [sobs]
• Loaf accidentally ends up stranding himself and some oblivious dogs who think he's their tour guide in space. Loaf tries to pilot the ship and tells himself to remember his training. Cue flashback.
  Penelope: Okay Loaf, you sit here and press this button to talk to the Pluto. Easiest job on the M-Bark. Unlike piloting a ship where pressing even one wrong button [voice distorts and fire appears in her eyes] can lead to everyone's fiery deaths! [speaking normally] Also, you don't need a briefcase.
• Loaf nearly reveals his identity to the tourist dogs.
  Loaf: Ok, these dogs are counting on you. If they find out you aren't the captain—

• This exchange between Gooey and Kira.
  Gooey: Plus, I'm... I'm very... ( sigh ) ...what's the word for when you wish the planet you're living on is haunted so that you can make friends with ghosts?
  Kira: Loneliness.
  Gooey: No, not that. The... The one where you spend six hours shouting into a cave 'cause an echo is the closest thing you're ever going to get to a conversation.
  Kira: Loneliness.
  Gooey: No. It's more like when you're all alone and it makes you feel sad.
  Kira: Loneliness, trust me.
  Gooey: Oh, wait, I remember, alone-liness.
