Quuhod
[edit]- I live and die by the crystals. [Quickly dies by the crystals]
Captain Trantor
[edit]- [Quoting Henry Austin Dobson's 1906 poem] They're too busy being heroes out there to talk to us. 'Fame is the food that dead men eat.'
- Hesperus... Yes, everyone's forgotten now. Yeah, if I hadn't, uh, kept on the move after that, I'd be an oxer in a breather bar by now.
- Hang on to your shorts. We're gonna dump.
Commander Ilvar
[edit]- "Doubt is demon brother to despair; The demon's tale Outwithers those who dare not dare."
Kore
[edit]- Yes, the human mind is still as dark as Morganthus, isn't it, sir?
Ranger
[edit]- Stupid son of a Calebon bitch.
- Blood, no guts. Can't be real. I'm fighting myself.
Baelon
[edit]- Son of a cyborg!
Alluma
[edit]- Cabren!
Dialogue
[edit]- Alluma: Aren't you afraid?
- Cabren: Too scared to be.
- Ranger: Hey, wait a minute here. All the overrides are... [one of the retro-cannon fires rocking the ship]
- Kore: That's one of the retro-cannons.
- Ranger: Retros? You can't fire those cannons planet side. It's a space-only weapon. They'll destroy us.
- Alluma: Ranger? Ranger?
- Cabren: What is it?
- Ranger: Nothing. I keep seeing something and then nothing.
- Cabren: Stay close. We can't afford to be separated.
- Alluma: Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
- Cabren: I will find a way to kill you for what you've done.
- Kore: Perhaps you will. But enough, Cabren. Why let your emotions rule now, after showing such admirable control of your fear? You already won the game.
- Cabren: A game?
- Kore: A children's game, Cabren. This pyramid is an ancient toy. A brilliant initiatory toy for the children of a vanished race, to see their deepest fears and to learn to control them.
- Cabren: How can you know this?
- Kore: This is where I became Master.
- Cabren: Why did she have to die? Why did they all have to die? Damn you, why?
- Kore: They could've lived, Cabren. They could have chosen as you have chosen. Until now.
- Cabren: You wanted me to kill you and I have. I've killed the Master.
- Kore: No. Only and old man. You cannot kill the power that is a Master.
- Cabren: I will never do what you have done.
- Kore: Too late. You are the Master.
- Cabren: I can leave. Refuse.
- Kore: And allow your planet to plunge into chaos? That, too, would be the effect of your power. But you would still be Master. That is who you are. You are the Master.
- Baelon: [Going in for a rough landing] If I live through this, she better stay out of my way.
- Cabren: If you live through this, you'll be bringing her roses.
- Ranger: It was my own fear that attacked me. Brought to life, somehow, by... by this place.
- Cabren: I knew that wasn't Alluma I saw. There's no horror here we don't create ourselves. If that's true, it's finished.
- Kore: Finished, Cabren? There has hardly been a beginning.
