[edit] Cale Tucker
- I do an honest day's work; I want already dead food!
- The least they could do is kill my food before I eat it.
- How do you know they want me dead? [Drej open fire at him] I’m convinced!
- [After Korso's speech] Maybe I've been wrong all these years, and it's taken your inspiring speech to make me see it. You've really changed me. It's beautiful. I think we've gotta hug.
- Where does the probe go?
- Everyday I wake up and it's still the present. The same grimy, boring present. I don't think this future thing of yours exists.
- If I don't like the way things are going I'll show you how much like my father I am. I'll leave.
- Like those frozen burritos you keep talking about? At least they don't jump off your plates...
- We launch yesterday.
- You know I never said I was gonna help you guys, we didn't address what's in it for me.
[edit] Akima
- In or out?
- [spacecraft won't start] Should I get out and push?
- You can't call a planet 'Bob'!
- This is just great. Cross half the galaxy, nearly get our butts shot off by the Drej... just so we can rescue the window washer.
- Drifter colony's the best place to get supplies: plasma packs, artillery, frozen burritos...
- [to Korso, over the radio] I think we've fallen in with a very bad crowd.
[edit] Joseph Korso
- You wanna hunt humans, you should remember we travel in packs.
- I don't know if you've taken a look around lately, but there aren't that many of us left. At the rate we're going, they'll be talking about us in history books and displaying our bones in alien museums.
- Did you forget the plan? I get you the Titan, I get rich! We had a deal, right?! How dare you cut me out like that?! [Drej Queen: We will do whatever we deem necessary to ensure the Titan's destruction.] Yeah? Well, you can't find the Titan without the map. You don't have the map; the kid's got it! And I've got the kid! So you keep your drones off my back, or so help me, I'll rip his heart out!
- Your father hid his ship, then the Drej killed him. All because he couldn't face the truth: that the human race is outta gas, it's circling the drain, it's finished! The only thing that matters now is grabbing what you can before somebody else beats you to it.
[edit] Preed
- But it wasn't just the money the Drej were offering. It was the health plan that came with it. They let me live, provided I kill all of you before they get here. [pause] They should be here shortly.
- Is it dead? Can we eat it?
- [surrounded] Just out of curiosity, did we have a plan 'B'?
- An intelligent guard. Didn't see that one coming.
- My scanners are showing a veritable cornucopia of nothing!
- Fight the good fight, precious!
- There's nothing more tiresome than last-minute-heroics!
- [to Akima and Cale] Do you mind, are we through pawing? This is the Valkyrie, not a singles' bar.
- [last words] Hide and seek is it? Or should we play search and DESTROY?
- Such motherly concern for the subject.
[edit] Gune
- I finished my nap!
- Hmmm... spaghetti derivative... meatballs, sort of anyway... and... ooh, Kaldorf droppings! Who ate it before you did?
- Does this look familiar? Do you know what it is? Neither do I. I made it last night in my sleep. Apparently I used Gindrogac. Highly unstable. I put a button on it. Yes. I wish to press it, but I'm not sure what will happen if I do.
- Progress, yes I'm making progress!
[edit] Stith
- PREED! I will kill you, okay?! I will kill you!
- Nononononono, cannot talk! We lost targeting on one of our aft gun turrents AGAIN! What, you think this is a pleasure cruise?!
- DIE, DREJ SCUMBALL!
- [after gun battling the drej] Well guys, it's been fun.
[edit] Drej Queen
- (Note: All lines spoken in an alien tongue, with English subtitles.)
- Destroy the humans. Destroy them all!
- Set a course for the Titan. Imprison the boy; jettison the girl.
- Prepare to destroy the Titan. Eliminate the human species.
- We will do whatever we deem necessary to ensure the Titan's destruction.
- Disarm the Titan. Block all escape outlets.
- Destroy the ice-shield that protects the Titan.
- Position to destroy.
- Lock on the Titan.
- [last words] The human threat ends now.
[edit] Dialogue
- Cale: [to Tek, after escaping from Po and his cronies] I've got to be scarce for a while.
- Korso: [slides into the seat next to Cale] You don't know the half of it.
- Cale: Are you still bothering people? Hey, Go away!
- Korso: [to Tek] Great job with the kid, Tek. He's a charmer.
- Akima: [she drapes the towel on him] I haven't notice now hold still before you feel something very important. [tending Cale's wounds] Preed, hand me the probe.
- Cale: The probe? Where does the probe go?
- Cale: Hey, for your information, I happen to be humanity's last great hope!
- Preed: I weep for the species.
- Preed: [Sarcastically] Such motherly concern for the subject.
- Cale: Why am I naked?
- Preed: You positively glow with maternal warmth Akima- it's very touching. I must have you.
- Akima: In your dreams.
- Preed: Akrenians don't dream, remember?
- Akima: They don't bathe much either.
- Gune: [holding up a small device] Does this look familiar? Do you know what it is? Neither do I. I made it last night in my sleep. Apparently I used Gindrogac. Highly unstable.
- Preed: Gune...
- Gune: I put at button on it. Yes. I wish to press it, but I'm not sure what will happen if I do.
- Korso: Keep the engines hot.
- Preed: Yes, it'll be nice and toasty. I don't fancy the Drej catching me with my trousers down.
- Gune: Preed! Preed! Aren't you supposed to be watching for the Drej?
- Preed: [not paying attention] Yes, Caveman. Drej bad, we good. Now go look at something shiny for a while.
- Gune: I think you'd better look again!
- [Preed looks up from the gun and sees Drej]
- Gune and Preed: [shout] DREJ!
- Cale: [Phoenix's first run] She'll start!... Uh, I'd lean back if I were you...
- Akima: Should I get out and push?
- Akima: What exactly are we looking for?
- Cale: This ship's going to help save mankind!
- Akima: What exactly are we looking for?
- Cale: Not a clue.
- Korso: Your father hid his ship, then the Drej killed him. All because he couldn't face the truth!
- Cale: What's that?
- Korso: That the human race is out of gas, it’s circling the drain, it’s finished! The only thing that matters now is grabbing what you can before somebody else beats you to it.
- Cale: No! I don't believe it.
- Korso: Then you're more like your father than I thought... a fool.
- [Gune has been injured by a bomb]
- Stith: Gune, are you all right?
- Gune: I'm...all right...for buisness. [chokes] I'll just take a little...nap, since I'm so...very sleepy. [seemingly dies. However, he is seen in his ship, battling the Drej] I've finished my nap!
- Akima: What are you going to call it?
- Cale: I think I'm going to call it... 'Bob'.
- Akima: Bob?
- Cale: You don't like Bob?
- Akima: You can't call a planet 'Bob'!
- Cale: Oh, so now you're the boss. You're the king of Bob.
- Akima: Well, no, but...
- Cale: What?
- Akima: Can't we just call it 'Earth'?
- Cale: Well, no one said you had to live on Bob.
- Akima: [laughing as she leans in to kiss Cale] I'm never calling it that.
- Cale: I'm the guy with the map here. I, mean, this is big medicine right?
- Akima: Big medicine? Let me see! [as she looks at the map in the palm of his hand] This is really it? This can save us?
- Cale: [softly speaking] Yeah. [out loud] Yeah! I guess so.
- Akima: Do you know what this means?
- Cale: [embarrassed with nothing on but a towel] I'm kind of wanting those pants right now.
- Preed: Why, you get to be a hero.
- Cale: A hero? Come on, there's gotta be something on the Titan worth selling or trading? What, we're gonna risk our necks to help out a few Drifter Colony bums? Where are my pants? [Akima throws his pants at him and leaves]
- Preed: [laughing about Cale] Guess where Akima grew up?
- Cale: [getting dressed] Drifter Colony?
- Preed: Yes, the boy learns. [steps out of the examination room]
- Cale: [hopping] What's your deal? Preed wait up!
