Andromeda: Harper 2.0 and a couple of lines

First time I saw the Harper 2.0 episode of Andromeda Ascendant there were a couple of lines of dialog whose significance I totally missed. But a friend who rarely watches the series was watching it and called me up asking if I'd seen the episode and if he'd heard these lines correctly. Some quick google searching quickly turned up the lines in multiple copies of the episode's transcript:

Harper: It's a bird, it's plane, it's ah...I don't know, you tell and we'll both know. Meanwhile (Speaks in Gaelic)

Rommie: Irish Gaelic, earth based, an adaptive form. You're making seductive overtures to me in a dead language?

Harper: Hey, it's not dead the way I speak it baby! (Speaks in French)

Rommie: And now French, Harper, what's gotten in to you?

Harper: (Speaks another language)

Rommie: Persiat. Harper I had no idea you were such a cunning linguist.

Harper: (Really fast) Love speaks in all tongues baby.

Cunning linguist? I totally missed that the first time the episode was aired. And Harper's rejoinder certainly drives home the point.

Anyway, wonder what Harper was saying in Gaelic, French, and Persiad. Anyone know?
