* Mr. President, Senate Joint Resolution 31, concerning which there has been little, if any, public interest or knowledge, constitutes one of the most far-reaching — and I believe mistaken — schemes ever proposed to alter the [[United States Constitution|American constitutional system]]. No one knows with any certainty what will happen if our [[w:elections in the United States|electoral system]] is totally revamped as proposed by Senate Joint Resolution 31 and the various amendments which will be offered to it. Today, we have a clearly [[w:United States Electoral College|Federal system of electing our President]], under which the States act as units. Today, we have the [[two-party system]], under which third parties and splinter parties are effectively discouraged from playing more than a negligible role. Today, we have a system which in all but one instance throughout our history has given us presidents elected by a plurality of the popular vote. I refer to one instance, because the frequently mentioned situation in 1824, involving [[Andrew Jackson]] and [[John Quincy Adams]], in which six States did not have popular votes, can be ignored; and the other frequently mentioned case, that of the [[w:1876 United States presidential election|Hayes-Tilden contest]], involved outright corruption, and the decision of the electoral commission was responsible for the election of [[Rutherford B. Hayes|Hayes]]; so in the 175 years of our constitutional system, there is really only one valid example in which the present system produced the election of a candidate who did not receive the largest number of votes. And today we have an electoral vote system which gives both large States and small States certain advantages and disadvantages that offset each other.

* Today our slowed-down [[Economy of the United States|economy]], our overcrowded [[Education in the United States|schools]], our [[Poverty in the United States|poor]] and our [[Unemployment in the United States|unemployed]], our spreading slums and our thousands of abandoned [[Agriculture|farms]] are visible, tangible evidence of our failure to meet those responsibilities. And those failures are defeats for the cause of freedom. For today the [[Communism|Communists]] are determined to convince the emerging and [[Developing country|developing nations]] of [[Asia]] and [[Africa]] and [[Latin America]] that only Communism will eliminate their [[poverty]] and [[hunger]] and [[disease]] - that the Communist road is the only road to a better life. We know that this is not true - for '''our own greatness is living proof that the road to [[abundance]] is [[freedom]]'s road.''' And we intend to build a still greater America where every man has a chance to work, a decent house to live in and decent schools for his children because we believe in a decent life for all our citizens - and '''because we who first lit man's hope for the good life are determined that freedom shall continue to show the way to progress.'''

* We must also be ready to reassume the initiative in the conduct of our foreign affairs - or act to spread freedom as well as to react against the spread of Communism. We must propose new and workable programs for [[disarmament]], for banning nuclear testing, for reducing tensions in the many trouble spots around the world from [[Berlin]] to the [[Cross-Strait relations|Formosa Straits]].

* And '''only a stronger America can hope to maintain its freedom and the freedom of the world. We are faced with an enemy which now commands a vast empire''' from the Formosa Straits to Berlin - an enemy whose agents of subversion are penetrating into Africa, into Asia, and now stand only ninety miles from our shores in [[Cuba]] - '''an enemy which is convinced of its ultimate victory - which believes, to quote Mr. [[Nikita Khrushchev|Khrushchev]], "that the old and the rotten will always fight with the newly emerged, but it is a law of history that the new will always win." But it is freedom that is new, and despotism and tyranny that is as old as civilization is - and it is freedom that will win - not because of any law of history - but because we will have the strength and the determination that will bring the victory.'''

* '''I think the basic problem facing the United States is to maintain the peace, maintain our vital interest in our national security, serve as the leader of the cause of freedom around the globe, and attempt to develop in this country sufficient forward motion so that we catch again the imagination of the world as a power and a system of government that represents the kind of government which all people want to endorse, the kind of government under which all people want to live. In other words, if we do well here, we enhance the prestige and power and influence of the cause of freedom around the world. If we fail, the cause of freedom fails.

[[File:ARC194238-JFK-Robert-Edward.jpg|thumb|The [[world]] is [[changing]]. The old era is ending. The old ways will not do. ... It is a time, in short, for a new generation of [[leadership]].]]
[[File:1942 JFK uniform portrait.jpg|thumb|We can have [[faith]] in the [[future]] only if we have faith in ourselves. ]]
[[File:John F Kennedy.jpg|thumb|Are we up to the task — are we equal to the challenge? Are we willing to match the Russian sacrifice of the present for the future — or must we sacrifice our future in order to enjoy the present? That is the question of the New Frontier. ]]
* But I think the American people expect more from us than cries of indignation and attack. '''The times are too grave, the challenge too urgent, and the stakes too high — to permit the customary passions of political debate. We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future.''' As [[Winston Churchill]] said on taking office some twenty years ago: if we open a quarrel between the present and the past, we shall be in danger of losing the future. '''Today our concern must be with that future. For the world is changing. The old era is ending. The old ways will not do. [...] It is a time, in short, for a new generation of leadership — new men to cope with new problems and new opportunities.'''
* Today some would say that those struggles are all over — that all the horizons have been explored — that all the battles have been won — that there is no longer an American frontier. But I trust that no one in this vast assemblage will agree with those sentiments. For the problems are not all solved and the battles are not all won — and '''we stand today on the edge of a [[w:New Frontier|New Frontier]] — the frontier of the [[1960s|1960's]] — a frontier of unknown opportunities and perils — a frontier of unfulfilled hopes and threats.'''
* [[Woodrow Wilson]]'s New Freedom promised our nation a new political and economic framework. [[Franklin Roosevelt]]'s [[New Deal]] promised security and succor to those in need. But '''the New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises — it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them. It appeals to their pride, not to their pocketbook — it holds out the promise of more sacrifice instead of more security.'''
* But I tell you the '''New Frontier''' is here, whether we seek it or not. '''Beyond that frontier are the uncharted areas of science and space, unsolved problems of peace and war, unconquered pockets of ignorance and prejudice, unanswered questions of poverty and surplus.''' It would be easier to shrink back from that frontier, to look to the safe mediocrity of the past, to be lulled by good intentions and high rhetoric — and those who prefer that course should not cast their votes for me, regardless of party. But I believe '''the times demand new invention, innovation, imagination, decision. I am asking each of you to be pioneers on that New Frontier.''' My call is to the young in heart, regardless of age — to all who respond to the Scriptural call: [[s: Bible (King James)/Joshua#Chapter_1|"Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed."]] For courage — not complacency — is our need today — leadership — not salesmanship. And '''the only valid test of leadership is the ability to lead, and lead vigorously.'''
* There may be those who wish to hear more — more promises to this group or that — more harsh rhetoric about the men in the Kremlin — more assurances of a golden future, where taxes are always low and subsidies ever high. But my promises are in the platform you have adopted — our ends will not be won by rhetoric and '''we can have faith in the future only if we have faith in ourselves.'''
* For the harsh facts of the matter are that we stand on this frontier at a turning-point in history. [[Abraham Lincoln#The_Gettysburg_Address_.281863.29|We must prove all over again whether this nation — or any nation so conceived — can long endure]] — whether our society — with its [[freedom of choice]], its breadth of opportunity, its range of alternatives — can compete with the single-minded advance of the [[Communist system]]. </br> Can a nation organized and governed such as ours endure? That is the real question. Have we the nerve and the will? Can we carry through in an age where we will witness not only new breakthroughs in weapons of destruction — but also a race for mastery of the sky and the rain, the ocean and the tides, the far side of space and the inside of men's minds? </br> '''Are we up to the task — are we equal to the challenge? Are we willing to match the Russian sacrifice of the present for the future — or must we sacrifice our future in order to enjoy the present? </br> That is the question of the New Frontier.''' That is the choice our nation must make — a choice that lies not merely between two men or two parties, but between the public interest and private comfort — between national greatness and national decline — between the fresh air of progress and the stale, dank atmosphere of "[[Normality|normalcy]]" — between determined dedication and creeping mediocrity. '''All mankind waits upon our decision. A whole world looks to see what we will do. We cannot fail their trust, we cannot fail to try.'''
* It has been a long road from that first snowy day in [[New Hampshire]] to this crowded convention city. Now begins another long journey, taking me into your cities and homes all over America. Give me your help, your hand, your voice, your vote. Recall with me the words of [[Isaiah]]: [[s:Bible (King James)/Isaiah#Chapter_40|"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary."]] As we face the coming challenge, we too, shall wait upon the Lord, and ask that he renew our strength. Then shall we be equal to the test. Then we shall not be weary. And then we shall prevail.

* While the so-called [[Religion in the United States|religious issue]] is necessarily and properly the chief topic here tonight, I want to emphasize from the outset that we have far more critical issues to face in the 1960 election; the spread of Communist influence, until it now festers 90 miles off the coast of [[Florida]] — the humiliating treatment of our [[President of the United States|President]] and [[w:Vice President of the United States|Vice President]] by those who no longer respect our power — the [[Hunger in the United States|hungry]] [[children]] I saw in [[West Virginia]], the old people who cannot pay their doctor bills, the families forced to give up their farms — an America with too many slums, with too few schools, and too late to the [[moon]] and [[Space|outer space]]. These are the real issues which should decide this campaign. And they are not religious issues — for '''war and hunger and ignorance and despair know no religious barriers.'''
* '''I believe in an America where the [[Separation of church and state in the United States|separation of church and state]] is absolute''' — where no [[Priesthood in the Catholic Church|Catholic prelate]] would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishoners for whom to vote — where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference — and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.
* '''I believe in an America that is officially neither [[Catholic]], [[Protestantism|Protestant]] nor [[Jewish]] — where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from [[Pope John XXIII|the Pope]], the [[w:National Council of Churches|National Council of Churches]] or any other ecclesiastical source — where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials — and where [[Freedom of religion|religious liberty]] is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all.''' For while this year it may be a Catholic against whom the finger of suspicion is pointed, in other years it has been, and may someday be again, a Jew — or a [[Quaker]] — or a [[Unitarian Universalism|Unitarian]] — or a [[w:Baptists|Baptist]]. It was [[Virginia]]'s harassment of Baptist preachers, for example, that helped lead to [[Thomas Jefferson|Jefferson]]'s statute of religious freedom. Today I may be the victim- -but tomorrow it may be you — until the whole fabric of our harmonious society is ripped at a time of great national peril.
* Finally, '''I believe in an America where [[religious intolerance]] will someday end — where all men and all churches are treated as equal — where every man has the same right to attend or not attend the church of his choice''' — where there is no Catholic vote, no [[Anti-Catholicism|anti-Catholic]] vote, no bloc voting of any kind — and where Catholics, Protestants and Jews, at both the lay and pastoral level, will refrain from those attitudes of disdain and division which have so often marred their works in the past, and promote instead the American ideal of brotherhood.
* That is the kind of America in which I believe. And it represents the kind of Presidency in which I believe — a great office that must neither be humbled by making it the instrument of any one religious group nor tarnished by arbitrarily withholding its occupancy from the members of any one religious group. '''I believe in a President whose religious views are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the nation or imposed by the nation upon him as a condition to holding that office.'''
* I would not look with favor upon a President working to subvert the [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First Amendment]]'s guarantees of religious liberty. Nor would our system of checks and balances permit him to do so — and neither do I look with favor upon those who would work to subvert Article VI of the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]] by requiring a religious test — even by indirection — for it. If they disagree with that safeguard they should be out openly working to repeal it.
* '''I want a Chief Executive whose public acts are responsible to all groups and obligated to none — who can attend any ceremony, service or dinner his office may appropriately require of him — and whose fulfillment of his Presidential oath is not limited or conditioned by any religious oath, ritual or obligation.'''
* But let me say, with respect to other countries, that '''I am wholly opposed to the state being used by any religious group, Catholic or Protestant, to compel, prohibit, or persecute the free exercise of any other religion.''' And I hope that you and I condemn with equal fervor those nations which deny their Presidency to Protestants and those which deny it to Catholics.
* But let me stress again that these are my views — for contrary to common newspaper usage, I am not the Catholic candidate for President. I am the Democratic Party's candidate for President who happens also to be a Catholic. I do not speak for my church on public matters — and the church does not speak for me. Whatever issue may come before me as President — on [[birth control]], [[divorce]], [[censorship]], gambling or any other subject — I will make my decision in accordance with these views, in accordance with what my conscience tells me to be the national interest, and without regard to outside religious pressures or dictates. And no power or threat of [[punishment]] could cause me to decide otherwise. But '''if the time should ever come — and I do not concede any conflict to be even remotely possible — when my office would require me to either violate my conscience or violate the national interest, then I would resign the office; and I hope any conscientious public servant would do the same.'''
* If I should lose on the real issues, I shall return to my seat in the Senate, satisfied that I had tried my best and was fairly judged. But if this election is decided on the basis that 40 million Americans lost their chance of being President on the day they were baptized, then it is the whole nation that will be the loser, in the eyes of Catholics and non-Catholics around the world, in the eyes of history, and in the eyes of our own people.

* '''I believe in an America where the [[free enterprise]] system flourishes for all other systems to see and admire — where no businessman lacks either competition or [[credit]] — and where no [[monopoly]], no racketeer, no government [[bureaucracy]] can put him out of business that he built up with his own initiative.'''
* '''I believe in an America where the rights that I have described '''are enjoyed by all, regardless of their race or their creed or their national origin — where every [[Citizenship|citizen]] is free to think and speak as he pleases and write and worship as he pleases — and where every citizen is free to vote as he pleases, without instructions from anyone, his employer, the union leader or his clergyman.'''
* Finally, '''I believe in an America with a government of men devoted solely to the public interests — men of ability and dedication, free from [[conflict]] or [[corruption]] or other [[commitment]] — '''a responsible government that is efficient and economical, with a balanced budget over the years of the cycle, reducing its debt in prosperous times — '''a government willing to entrust the people with the facts that they have — not a businessman's government, with business in the saddle,''' as the late Secretary McKay described this administration of which he was a member — '''not a labor government, not a farmer's government, not a government of one section of the country or another, but a government of, for and by the people.'''
* In short, '''I believe in an America that is on the march — an America respected by all nations, friends and foes alike — an America that is moving, doing, working, trying — a strong America in a world of peace. That peace must be based on world law and world order, on the mutual respect of all nations for the rights and powers of others and on a [[world economy]] in which no nation lacks the ability to provide a decent standard of living for all of its people.''' But we cannot have such a world, and we cannot have such a peace, unless the United States has the vitality and the inspiration and the strength. If we continue to stand still, if we continue to lie at anchor, if we continue to sit on dead center, if we content ourselves with the easy life and the rosy assurances, then the gates will soon be open to a lean and hungry enemy.

* Our prestige abroad, what other peoples think of us, is not of importance only to those Americans who work or travel abroad. The sign "Yankee go home" does not apply only to our diplomats, foreign-aid specialists, and military personnel who are stationed overseas.
* The great struggle in the world today is not one of [[popularity]] but one of power, and '''our power depends in considerable measure upon our ability to influence other nations, upon their willingness to associate themselves with our efforts, upon the strength of our stature and leadership.''' ... this deterioration in our prestige abroad threatens our bases, our alliances, our security and the peace itself and it is time we were respected once again throughout the would as the good neighbor.
* '''We live under majority rule and if that majority is not well educated in its responsibilities, the whole Nation suffers.'''
==== Sport at the New Frontier: The Soft American ====

[[File:Liberty - Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument (Cleveland) - DSC07985.JPG|thumb|The stamina and strength which the defense of liberty requires are not the product of a few weeks' basic training or a month's conditioning.

:<small>John F. Kennedy, [http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1134750/1/index.htm "Sport at the New Frontier: The Soft American"] in [http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/cover/featured/7698/index.htm ''Sports Illustrated'' Vol. 13, Issue 26 (26 December 1960)], [http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/edb/reader.html?magID=SI&issueDate=19601226&mode=reader_vault p. 14-17]</small>
* This knowledge, '''the knowledge that the physical well-being of the citizen is an important foundation for the vigor and vitality of all the activities of the nation, is as old as Western civilization itself.
* But the harsh fact of the matter is that there is also an increasingly large number of young Americans who are neglecting their bodies — whose physical fitness is not what it should be — who are getting soft. And such '''softness on the part of individual citizens can help to strip and destroy the vitality of a nation.''' For '''the physical vigor of our citizens is one of America's most precious resources. If we waste and neglect this resource, if we allow it to dwindle and grow soft then we will destroy much of our ability to meet the great and vital challenges which confront our people. We will be unable to realize our full potential as a nation.'''
* Throughout [[History of the United States|our history]] we have been challenged to armed conflict by nations which sought to destroy our independence or threatened our freedom. The young men of America have risen to those occasions, giving themselves freely to the rigors and hardships of warfare. But '''the stamina and strength which the defense of liberty requires are not the product of a few weeks' basic training or a month's conditioning. These only come from bodies which have been conditioned by a lifetime of participation in sports and interest in physical activity.''' Our struggles against aggressors throughout our history have been won on the playgrounds and corner lots and fields of America. Thus, in a very real and immediate sense, our growing softness, our increasing lack of physical fitness, is a menace to our security.
* But '''physical fitness is as vital to the activities of peace as to those of war, especially when our success in those activities may well determine the future of freedom in the years to come.''' We face in the [[Soviet Union]] a powerful and implacable adversary determined to show the world that only the Communist system possesses the vigor and determination necessary to satisfy awakening aspirations for progress and the elimination of poverty and want. To meet the challenge of this enemy will require determination and will and effort on the part of all Americans. '''Only if our citizens are physically fit will they be fully capable of such an effort.'''
* For '''physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body; it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.''' The relationship between the soundness of the [[body]] and the activities of the [[mind]] is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the [[Greeks]] knew: that '''[[intelligence]] and [[skill]] can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong'''; that '''hardy spirits and tough minds usually inhabit sound bodies.'''
* In this sense, '''physical fitness is the basis of all the activities of our society. And if our bodies grow soft and inactive, if we fail to encourage physical development and prowess, we will undermine our capacity for thought, for work and for the use of those skills vital to an expanding and complex America. Thus the physical fitness of our citizens is a vital prerequisite to America's realization of its full potential as a nation, and to the opportunity of each individual citizen to make full and fruitful use of his capacities.'''
* It is ironic that at a time when the magnitude of our dangers makes the physical fitness of our citizens a matter of increasing importance, it takes greater effort and determination than ever before to build the strength of our bodies. The age of [[leisure]] and abundance can destroy vigor and muscle tone as effortlessly as it can gain time. '''Today human activity, the labor of the human body, is rapidly being engineered out of working life.'''

* During the last sixty days, I have been at the task of constructing an administration. It has been a long and deliberate process. Some have counseled greater speed. Others have counseled more expedient tests. But I have been guided by the standard [[John Winthrop]] set before his shipmates on the flagship ''Arbella'' three hundred and thirty-one years ago, as they, too, faced the task of building a new government on a perilous frontier. "We must always consider," he said, "that we shall be as a city upon a hill — the eyes of all people are upon us." '''Today the eyes of all people are truly upon us — and our governments, in every branch, at every level, national, state and local, must be as a [[w:City upon a Hill|city upon a hill]] — constructed and inhabited by men aware of their great trust and their great responsibilities.''' For we are setting out upon a voyage in 1961 no less hazardous than that undertaken by the ''Arbella'' in 1630. We are committing ourselves to tasks of statecraft no less awesome than that of governing the [[w:Massachusetts Bay Colony|Massachusetts Bay Colony]], beset as it was then by terror without and disorder within. History will not judge our endeavors — and a government cannot be selected — merely on the basis of color or creed or even party affiliation. Neither will competence and loyalty and stature, while essential to the utmost, suffice in times such as these.
* '''For of those to whom much is given, much is required.''' And when at some future date the high court of history sits in judgment on each of us — recording whether in our brief span of service we fulfilled our responsibilities to the state — '''our success or failure, in whatever office we hold, will be measured by the answers to four questions:<br>First, were we truly men of courage — with the courage to stand up to one's enemies — and the courage to stand up, when necessary, to one's associates — the courage to resist public pressure, as well as private greed?<br>Secondly, were we truly men of judgment — with perceptive judgment of the future as well as the past — of our mistakes as well as the mistakes of others — with enough wisdom to know what we did not know and enough candor to admit it?<br>Third, were we truly men of integrity — men who never ran out on either the principles in which we believed or the men who believed in us — men whom neither financial gain nor political ambition could ever divert from the fulfillment of our sacred trust?<br>Finally, were we truly men of dedication — with an honor mortgaged to no single individual or group, and comprised of no private obligation or aim, but devoted solely to serving the public good and the national interest?<br>Courage — judgment — integrity — dedication — these are the historic qualities''' ... which, with God's help ... will characterize our Government's conduct in the 4 stormy years that lie ahead.

* Vice President [[Lyndon B. Johnson|Johnson]], [[w:John William McCormack|Mr. Speaker]], [[Earl Warren|Mr. Chief Justice]], President [[Dwight David Eisenhower|Eisenhower]], Vice President [[Richard Nixon|Nixon]], President [[Harry S. Truman|Truman]], reverend clergy, fellow citizens, '''we observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom — symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning — signifying renewal, as well as change.''' For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago.
* The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe — the belief that '''the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of [[God]].'''
* '''Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans''' — born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage — and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those [[human rights]] to which this Nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.

** This is one of seven quotes [[commons:File:Memorial_leading_to_grave_of_John_F._Kennedy_in_Arlington_National_Cemetery.jpg|inscribed on the walls at the gravesite of John F. Kennedy at Arlington National Cemetery.]]
* To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. '''United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do — for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.'''
* To those new States whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of [[Colonialism|colonial]] control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom — and to remember that, in the past, '''those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.'''
* To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass [[misery]], we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required — not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. '''If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.'''
* Finally, '''to those nations who would make themselves our adversary''', we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace, before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction. '''We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.'''
* So let us begin anew — remembering on both sides that '''civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.''' <br/> '''Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us. [...] Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors.''' Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce. <br/> '''Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of [[Isaiah]] — to "undo the heavy burdens … and to let the oppressed go free."'''
* If a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but '''a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved.''' <br/> '''All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.'''
* '''[[Abraham_Lincoln#First_Inaugural_Address_.281861.29|In your hands, my fellow citizens]], more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty.''' The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.
* '''Now the trumpet summons us again — not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are — but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle''', year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation" — '''a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.''' Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?

** It has been reported at various places on the internet that in JFK's Inaugural address, the famous line "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country", was inspired by, or even a direct quotation of the famous and much esteemed writer and poet [[Khalil Gibran]]. Gibran in 1925 wrote in Arabic a line that has been translated as:
**::'''''Are you a politician asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country?'''''
**::If you are the first, then you are a parasite; if the second, then you are an oasis in a desert.''
** However, this ''translation'' of Gibran is one that occurred over a decade after Kennedy's 1961 speech, appearing in ''A Third Treasury of Kahlil Gibran'' (1975) edited by Andrew Dib Sherfan, and the translator most likely drew upon Kennedy's famous words in expressing Gibran's prior ideas.

You may remember that in 1851 the [[w:New York Herald Tribune|New York Herald Tribune]] under the sponsorship and publishing of [[Horace Greeley]], employed as its [[London]] correspondent an obscure [[Journalism|journalist]] by the name of [[Karl Marx]]. <br> We are told that foreign correspondent Marx, stone broke, and with a family ill and undernourished, constantly appealed to Greeley and managing editor [[w:Charles Anderson Dana|Charles Dana]] for an increase in his munificent salary of $5 per installment, a salary which he and [[Friedrich Engels|Engels]] ungratefully labeled as the "lousiest [[petty bourgeois]] cheating." <br> But when all his financial appeals were refused, Marx looked around for other means of livelihood and fame, eventually terminating his relationship with the Tribune and devoting his talents full time to the cause that would bequeath the world the seeds of [[Leninism]], [[Stalinism]], [[revolution]] and the [[Cold War|cold war]]. <br> If only this [[Capitalism|capitalistic]] [[New York City|New York]] [[Newspapers|newspaper]] had treated him more kindly; if only Marx had remained a foreign correspondent, history might have been different. And I hope all publishers will bear this lesson in mind the next time they receive a poverty-stricken appeal for a small increase in the expense account from an obscure newspaper man.
* '''I want to talk about our common responsibilities in the face of a common danger. The events of recent weeks may have helped to illuminate that challenge for some; but the dimensions of its threat have loomed large on the horizon for many years.''' Whatever our hopes may be for the future — for reducing this threat or living with it — there is no escaping either the gravity or the totality of its challenge to our survival and to our security — a challenge that confronts us in unaccustomed ways in every sphere of human activity. <br> This deadly challenge imposes upon our society two requirements of direct concern both to the press and to the President — two requirements that may seem almost contradictory in tone, but which must be reconciled and fulfilled if we are to meet this national peril. '''I refer, first, to the need for a far greater public information; and, second, to the need for far greater official secrecy.'''
* '''The very word "[[secrecy]]" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings.''' We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, '''there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.''' That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And '''no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.'''
* '''Today no war has been declared — and however fierce the struggle may be, it may never be declared in the traditional fashion. Our way of life is under attack.''' Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. '''The survival of our friends is in danger.''' And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired. <br> If the press is awaiting a declaration of war before it imposes the self-discipline of combat conditions, then I can only say that no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. '''If you are awaiting a finding of [[w:Clear and present danger|"clear and present danger]]," then I can only say that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent.''' <br> It requires a change in outlook, a change in tactics, a change in missions — by the government, by the people, by every businessman or labor leader, and by every newspaper. For '''we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.''' It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match. <br> Nevertheless, every democracy recognizes the necessary restraints of national security — and the question remains whether those restraints need to be more strictly observed if we are to oppose this kind of attack as well as outright invasion.
* '''No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that understanding comes support or opposition. And both are necessary.''' I am not asking your newspapers to support the Administration, but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed. <br> I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers — I welcome it. This Administration intends to be candid about its errors; for as '''[[w:Orlando Aloysius Battista|a wise man]] once said: "An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it."''' We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors; and we expect you to point them out when we miss them.
* '''Without [[debate]], without [[criticism]], no Administration and no country can succeed — and no [[republic]] can survive.''' That is why the [[Athens|Athenian]] lawmaker [[Solon]] decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. '''And that is why our press was protected by the [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First Amendment]]''' — the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution- -'''not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply "give the public what it wants" — but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion. <br> This means greater coverage and analysis of international news — for it is no longer far away and foreign but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improved understanding of the news as well as improved transmission. And it means, finally, that government at all levels, must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security''' — and we intend to do it.
* It was early in the Seventeenth Century that [[Francis Bacon]] remarked on three recent inventions already transforming the world: the compass, gunpowder and the printing press. Now the links between the nations first forged by the compass have made us all citizens of the world, the hopes and threats of one becoming the hopes and threats of us all. In that one world's efforts to live together, the evolution of gunpowder to its ultimate limit has warned mankind of the terrible consequences of failure. <br> And so it is to the printing press — to the recorder of man's deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news — that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help '''man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.'''
** Kennedy here references [[Francis Bacon]]'s Aphorism 129 of ''[[w:Novum Organum|Novum Organum]]'': [[s:Novum Organum/Book I (Wood)|Again, we should notice the force, effect, and consequences of inventions, which are nowhere more conspicuous than in those three which were unknown to the ancients; namely, printing, gunpowder, and the compass. For these three have changed the appearance and state of the whole world; first in literature, then in warfare, and lastly in navigation: and innumerable changes have been thence derived, so that no empire, sect, or star, appears to have exercised a greater power and influence on human affairs than these mechanical discoveries.]]

:<small> [https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/special-message-the-congress-urgent-national-needs Address to a Joint Session of Congress (25 May 1961)]; this includes his Special Message to the Congress on urgent national needs the goal of sending a Man to the Moon before the 1960's are over. More specifically President Kennedy asked for an additional $7 billion to $9 billion over the next five years for the space program, proclaiming that “this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.” President Kennedy settled upon this dramatic goal as a means of focusing and mobilizing our lagging space efforts. He did not justify the needed expenditure on the basis of science and exploration, but placed the program clearly in the camp of the competing ideologies of [[democracy]] vs. [[communism]].</small>
* '''These are extraordinary times. And we face an extraordinary challenge. Our strength as well as our convictions have imposed upon this nation the role of leader in [[freedom]]'s cause. No role in history could be more difficult or more important. We stand for freedom. That is our conviction for ourselves--that is our only commitment to others. No friend, no neutral and no adversary should think otherwise. We are not against any man--or any nation--or any system--except as it is hostile to freedom. Nor am I here to present a new military doctrine, bearing any one name or aimed at any one area. I am here to promote the freedom doctrine.'''
* '''The great battleground for the defense and expansion of freedom today is''' the whole southern half of the globe--[[Asia]], [[Latin America]], [[Africa]] and the [[Middle East]]--'''the lands of the rising peoples. Their revolution is the greatest in human [[history]]. They seek an end to [[injustice]], [[tyranny]], and exploitation. More than an end, they seek a beginning. And theirs is a revolution which we would support regardless of the [[Cold War]], and regardless of which political or economic route they should choose to freedom. For the adversaries of freedom did not create the revolution; nor did they create the conditions which compel it. But they are seeking to ride the crest of its wave--to capture it for themselves. Yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. They have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. They send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. But where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone'''--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in [[Vietnam War|Vietnam]] alone--'''by subversives and saboteurs and [[Insurrection|insurrectionists]], who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations. They possess a powerful intercontinental striking force, large forces for conventional war, a well-trained underground in nearly every country, the power to conscript talent and manpower for any purpose, the capacity for quick decisions, a closed society without dissent or free information, and long experience in the techniques of violence and subversion. They make the most of their scientific successes, their economic progress and their pose as a foe of colonialism and friend of popular revolution. They prey on unstable or unpopular governments, unsealed, or unknown boundaries, unfilled hopes, convulsive change, massive poverty, illiteracy, unrest and frustration. With these formidable weapons, the adversaries of freedom plan to consolidate their territory--to exploit, to control, and finally to destroy the hopes of the world's newest nations; and they have ambition to do it before the end of this decade. It is a contest of will and purpose as well as force and violence--a battle for minds and souls as well as lives and territory. And in that contest, we cannot stand aside. We stand, as we have always stood from our earliest beginnings, for the [[independence]] and [[equality]] of all nations. This nation was born of [[revolution]] and raised in [[freedom]]. And we do not intend to leave an open road for [[despotism]].'''
* '''There is no single simple policy which meets this challenge. Experience has taught us that no one nation has the power or the wisdom to solve all the problems of the world or manage its revolutionary tides-that extending our commitments does not always increase our security--that any initiative carries with it the risk of a temporary defeat--that [[Nuclear weapons|nuclear weapons]] cannot prevent subversion--that no free people can be kept free without will and energy of their own-- and that no two nations or situations are exactly alike.'''
* '''Our security and progress cannot be cheaply purchased; and their price must be found in what we all forego as well as what we all must pay.'''
* I stress the strength of our economy because it is essential to the strength of our nation. And what is true in our case is true in the case of other countries. Their strength in the struggle for freedom depends on the strength of their economic and their social progress. We would be badly mistaken to consider their problems in military terms alone. For '''no amount of arms and armies can help stabilize those governments which are unable or unwilling to achieve social and economic reform and development. Military pacts cannot help nations whose social injustice and economic chaos invite insurgency and penetration and subversion.''' The most skillful counter-guerrilla efforts cannot succeed where the local population is too caught up in its own misery to be concerned about the advance of [[communism]].'''
* This is also our great '''opportunity''' in 1961. '''If we grasp it, then subversion to prevent its success is exposed as an unjustifiable attempt to keep these nations from either being free or equal. But if we do not pursue it, and if they do not pursue it, the bankruptcy of unstable governments, one by one, and of unfilled hopes will surely lead to a series of totalitarian receiverships.'''
* But '''while we talk of sharing and building and the competition of ideas, others talk of arms and threaten war. So we have learned to keep our defenses strong--and to cooperate with others in a partnership of self-defense.'''
* '''The main burden of local defense against local attack, subversion, insurrection or guerrilla warfare must of necessity rest with local forces. Where these forces have the necessary will and capacity to cope with such threats, our intervention is rarely necessary or helpful.''' Where the will is present and only capacity is lacking, '''our Military Assistance Program''' can be of help. But this program, like economic assistance, needs a new emphasis. It '''cannot be extended without regard to the social, political and military reforms essential to internal respect and stability. The equipment and training provided must be tailored to legitimate local needs and to our own foreign and military policies, not to our supply of military stocks or a local leader's desire for military display. And military assistance can, in addition to its military purposes, make a contribution to economic progress''', as do our own Army Engineers.
* Military and economic assistance has been a heavy burden on our citizens for a long time, and I recognize the strong pressures against it; but this battle is far from over, it is reaching a crucial stage, and I believe we should participate in it. '''We cannot merely state our opposition to totalitarian advance without paying the price of helping those now under the greatest pressure.'''
* This Administration has been looking hard at exactly what '''civil defense''' can and cannot do. It '''cannot be obtained cheaply. It cannot give an assurance of blast protection that will be proof against surprise attack or guaranteed against obsolescence or destruction. And it cannot deter a nuclear attack. We will deter an enemy from making a nuclear attack only if our retaliatory power is so strong and so invulnerable that he knows he would be destroyed by our response. If we have that strength, civil defense is not needed to deter an attack. If we should ever lack it, civil defense would not be an adequate substitute. But this deterrent concept assumes rational calculations by rational men. And the history of this planet, and particularly the history of the [[20th century]], is sufficient to remind us of the possibilities of an irrational attack, a miscalculation, an accidental war, for a war of escalation in which the stakes by each side gradually increase to the point of maximum danger which cannot be either foreseen or deterred. It is on this basis that civil defense can be readily justifiable--as insurance for the civilian population in case of an enemy miscalculation. It is insurance we trust will never be needed--but insurance which we could never forgive ourselves for foregoing in the event of catastrophe.''' Once the validity of this concept is recognized, there is no point in delaying the initiation of a nation-wide long-range program of identifying present fallout shelter capacity and providing shelter in new and existing structures. '''Such a program would protect millions of people against the hazards of radioactive fallout in the event of large-scale nuclear attack.''' Effective performance of the entire program not only requires new legislative authority and more funds, but also sound organizational arrangements.
* I cannot end this discussion of defense and armaments without emphasizing '''our strongest hope: the creation of an orderly world where disarmament will be possible. Our aims do not prepare for war--they are efforts to discourage and resist the adventures of others that could end in war.
'''
* Finally, if we are to win the battle that is now going on around the world between freedom and tyranny, the dramatic achievements in space which occurred in recent weeks should have made clear to us all, as did the [[w:Sputnik crisis|Sputnik in 1957]], the impact of this adventure on the minds of men everywhere, who are attempting to make a determination of which road they should take. [...] '''Now it is time to take longer strides — time for a great new American enterprise — time for this nation to take a clearly leading role in space achievement, which in many ways may hold the key to our future on earth. I believe we possess all the resources and talents necessary.''' But the facts of the matter are that we have never made the national decisions or marshaled the national resources required for such leadership. We have never specified long-range goals on an urgent time schedule, or managed our resources and our time so as to insure theft fulfillment. </br> Recognizing the head start obtained by the Soviets with their large rocket engines, which gives them many months of lead-time, and recognizing the likelihood that they will exploit this lead for some time to come in still more impressive successes, we nevertheless are required to make new efforts on our own. For '''while we cannot guarantee that we shall one day be first, we can guarantee that any failure to make this effort will make us last. We take an additional risk by making it in full view of the world, but as shown by [[w:Project_Mercury#Space_race|feat]] of [[w:Alan Shepard#Mercury:_Freedom_7_pilot|astronaut Shepard]], this very risk enhances our stature when we are successful. But this is not merely a race. Space is open to us now; and our eagerness to share its meaning is not governed by the efforts of others. We go into space because whatever mankind must undertake, free men must fully share.'''
* '''I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish.''' We propose to accelerate the development of the appropriate lunar space craft. We propose to develop alternate liquid and solid fuel boosters, much larger than any now being developed, until certain which is superior. We propose additional funds for other engine development and for unmanned explorations — explorations which are particularly important for one purpose which this nation will never overlook: the survival of the man who first makes this daring flight. '''But in a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon — if we make this judgment affirmatively, it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there.'''
* Let it be clear — and this is a judgment which the Members of the Congress must finally make — let it be clear that I am asking the Congress and the country to accept a firm commitment to a new course of action — a course which will last for many years and carry very heavy costs: 531 million dollars in fiscal '62 — an estimated seven to nine billion dollars additional over the next five years. '''If we are to go only half way, or reduce our sights in the face of difficulty, in my judgment it would be better not to go at all.'''
* '''It is a most important decision that we make as a nation.''' But all of you have lived through the last four years and have seen the significance of space and the adventures in space, and no one can predict with certainty what the ultimate meaning will be of mastery of space. '''I believe we should go to the moon.''' But I think every citizen of this country as well as the Members of the Congress should consider the matter carefully in making their judgment, to which we have given attention over many weeks and months, because it is a heavy burden, and '''there is no sense in agreeing or desiring that the United States take an affirmative position in outer space, unless we are prepared to do the work and bear the burdens to make it successful.''' If we are not, we should decide today and this year.
* '''This decision demands a major national commitment of scientific and technical manpower, materiel and facilities''', and the possibility of their diversion from other important activities where they are already thinly spread. It means a degree of dedication, organization and discipline which have not always characterized our research and development efforts. '''It means we cannot afford undue work stoppages, inflated costs of material or talent, wasteful interagency rivalries, or a high turnover of key personnel. New objectives and new money cannot solve these problems. They could in fact, aggravate them further — unless every scientist, every engineer, every serviceman, every technician, contractor, and civil servant gives his personal pledge that this nation will move forward, with the full speed of freedom, in the exciting adventure of space.'''
* '''In conclusion, let me emphasize one point:''' that '''we are determined''', as a nation in 1961 '''that freedom shall survive and succeed--and whatever the peril and set-backs, we have some very large advantages. The first is the simple fact that we are on the side of [[liberty]]--and since the beginning of history, and particularly since the end of the [[Second World War]], liberty has been winning out all over the globe. A second great asset is that we are not alone. We have friends and allies all over the world who share our devotion to freedom. [...] A third asset is our desire for peace. It is sincere, and I believe the world knows it. [...] Yet it is important to know that our patience at the bargaining table is nearly inexhaustible, though our credulity is limited-that our hopes for peace are unfailing, while our determination to protect our security is resolute.'''
* '''Finally, our greatest asset in this struggle is the American people--their willingness to pay the price for these programs--to understand and accept a long struggle--to share their resources with other less fortunate people-to meet the [[Taxation in the United States|tax]] levels and close the tax loopholes I have requested--to exercise self-restraint instead of pushing up wages or prices, or over-producing certain crops, or spreading military secrets, or urging unessential expenditures or improper monopolies or harmful work stoppages--to serve in the Peace Corps or the Armed Services or the Federal Civil Service or the Congress--to strive for excellence in their schools, in their cities and in their physical fitness and that of their children--to take part in Civil Defense-to pay higher postal rates, and higher payroll taxes and higher teachers' salaries, in order to strengthen our society--to show friendship to students and visitors from other lands who visit us and go back in many cases to be the future leaders, with an image of America--and I want that image, and I know you do, to be affirmative and positive-and, finally, to practice [[democracy]] at home, in all States, with all races, to respect each other and to protect the Constitutional rights of all citizens.'''
* I have not asked for a single program which did not cause one or all Americans some inconvenience, or some hardship, or some sacrifice. But they have responded-and you in the Congress have responded to your duty--and I feel confident in asking today for a similar response to these new and larger demands. '''It is heartening to know''', as I journey abroad, '''that our country is united in its commitment to freedom-and is ready to do its duty.'''

* '''We are clear about what must be done--and we intend to do it.''' I want to talk frankly with you tonight about the first steps that we shall take. '''These actions will require sacrifice on the part of many of our citizens. More will be required in the future. They will require, from all of us, courage and perseverance in the years to come. But if we and our allies act out of strength and unity of purpose--with calm determination and steady nerves--using restraint in our words as well as our weapons--I am hopeful that both peace and freedom will be sustained.'''
* I hear it said that [[w:Battle of Berlin|West Berlin]] is militarily untenable. And so was [[w:Siege of Bastogne|Bastogne]]. And so, in fact, was [[w:Battle of Stalingrad|Stalingrad]]. '''Any dangerous spot is tenable if men--brave men--will make it so.'''
* We do not want to fight — but we have fought before. And others in earlier times have made the same dangerous mistake of assuming that the West was too selfish and too soft and too divided to resist invasions of freedom in other lands. Those who threaten to unleash the forces of war on a dispute over West Berlin should recall the words of the ancient philosopher: "[[w:Epicurus |A man who causes fear cannot be free from fear.]]"
* '''Everything essential to the security of freedom must be done; and if that should require more men, or more [[Taxation|taxes]], or more controls, or other new powers, I shall not hesitate to ask them. [...] I realize that no public revenue measure is welcomed by everyone. But I am certain that every American wants to pay his fair share, and not leave the burden of defending freedom entirely to those who bear arms. For we have mortgaged our very future on this defense--and we cannot fail to meet our responsibilities.'''
* '''We do not intend to abandon our duty to mankind to seek a peaceful solution.''' As signers of the [[Charter of the United Nations|UN Charter]], '''we shall always be prepared to discuss international problems with any and all nations that are willing to talk — and listen — with reason. If they have proposals — not demands — we shall hear them. If they seek genuine understanding — not concessions of our [[rights]] — we shall meet with them.''' We have previously indicated our readiness to remove any actual irritants in West Berlin, but '''the freedom''' of that city '''is not negotiable. We cannot negotiate with those who say "What's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable." But we are willing to consider any arrangement or treaty''' in [[Germany]] '''consistent with the maintenance of peace and freedom, and with the legitimate security interests of all nations. [...] In short, while we are ready to defend our interests, we shall also be ready to search for peace--in quiet exploratory talks--in formal or informal meetings. '''
* '''The strength of the alliance on which our security depends is dependent in turn on our willingness to meet our commitments to them.'''
* We will at all times be ready to talk, if '''talk''' will help. But we must also be ready to resist with '''force''', if force is used upon us. '''Either alone would fail. Together, they can serve the cause of freedom and peace.'''
* And as Americans know from our history [[w:American Frontier|on our own old frontier]], '''gun battles are caused by outlaws, and not by officers of the peace.'''
* And '''if there is one path above all others to war, it is the path of weakness and disunity.'''
* '''When I ran for Presidency of the United States, I knew that this country faced serious challenges, but I could not realize — nor could any man realize who does not bear the burdens of this office — how heavy and constant would be those burdens.'''
* Now, '''in the [[w:nuclear age|thermonuclear age]], any misjudgment on either side about the intentions of the other could rain more devastation in several hours than has been wrought in all the wars of human history.''' Therefore I, as President and Commander-in-Chief, and all of us as Americans, are moving through serious days. I shall bear this responsibility under our Constitution for the next three and one-half years, but I am sure that '''we all, regardless of our occupations, will do our very best for our country, and for our cause. For all of us want to see our children grow up in a country at peace, and in a world where freedom endures. I know that sometimes we get impatient, we wish for some immediate action that would end our perils. But I must tell you that there is no quick and easy solution. [...] We must look to long days ahead, which if we are courageous and persevering can bring us what we all desire.'''
* The steps I have indicated tonight are aimed at avoiding that war. To sum it all up: '''we seek peace — but we shall not surrender.''' That is the central meaning of this crisis, and the meaning of your government's policy. '''With your help, and the help of other free men, this crisis can be surmounted. Freedom can prevail and peace can endure.'''

* '''We meet in an hour of grief and challenge. [[Dag Hammarskjöld|Dag Hammarskjold]] is dead. But the [[United Nations]] lives. His tragedy is deep in our hearts, but the task for which he died is at the top of our agenda. A noble servant of [[peace]] is gone. But the quest for peace lies before us.''' <br> The problem is not the death of one man — the problem is the life of this organization. It will either grow to meet the challenges of our age, or it will be gone with the wind, without influence, without force, without respect. Were we to let it die, to enfeeble its vigor, to cripple its powers, we would condemn our future. For in the development of this organization rests the only true alternative to war — and war appeals no longer as a rational alternative. Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes. It can no longer concern the great powers alone. For a nuclear disaster, spread by wind and water and fear, could well engulf the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the committed and the uncommitted alike. '''Mankind must put an end to war — or war will put an end to mankind.<br> So let us here resolve that Dag Hammarskjold did not live, or die, in vain. Let us call a truce to terror. Let us invoke the blessings of peace. And as we build an international capacity to keep peace, let us join in dismantling the national capacity to wage war.'''
* '''[[Disarmament]] without checks is but a shadow — and a community without law is but a shell.'''
* The great question which confronted this body in 1945 is still before us: whether man's cherished hopes for progress and peace are to be destroyed by terror and disruption, whether the "foul winds of war" can be tamed in time to free the cooling winds of reason, and whether the pledges of our Charter are to be fulfilled or defied — pledges to secure peace, progress, human rights and world law.
* The Secretary General, in a very real sense, is the servant of the '''[[General Assembly of the United Nations|General Assembly]]'''. Diminish his authority and you diminish the authority of '''the only body where all nations, regardless of power, are equal and sovereign. Until all the powerful are just, the weak will be secure only in the strength of this Assembly.'''
* Today, every inhabitant of this planet must contemplate the day when this planet may no longer be habitable. '''Every man, woman and child lives under a nuclear [[w:sword of Damocles|sword of Damocles]], hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident, or miscalculation, or by madness. The weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us.'''
* Men no longer debate whether armaments are a symptom or a cause of tension. '''The mere existence of modern weapons''' — ten million times more powerful than any that the world has ever seen, and only minutes away from any target on earth — '''is a source of horror, and discord and distrust.''' Men no longer maintain that disarmament must await the settlement of all disputes — for disarmament must be a part of any permanent settlement. And men may no longer pretend that the quest for disarmament is a sign of weakness — for in a spiraling arms race, a nation's security may well be shrinking even as its arms increase.
* For fifteen years this organization has sought the reduction and destruction of arms. Now that goal is no longer a dream — it is a practical matter of life or death. '''The risks inherent in disarmament pale in comparison to the risks inherent in an unlimited arms race.''' <br> In short, general and complete disarmament must no longer be a slogan, used to resist the first steps. It is no longer to be a goal without means of achieving it, without means of verifying its progress, without means of keeping the peace. It is now a realistic plan, and a test — a test of those only willing to talk and a test of those willing to act.<br> Such a plan would not bring a world free from conflict and greed — but it would bring a world free from the terrors of mass destruction. It would not usher in the era of the super state — but it would usher in an era in which no state could annihilate or be annihilated by another. <br> But to halt the spread of these terrible weapons, to halt the contamination of the air, to halt the spiraling nuclear arms race, we remain ready to seek new avenues of agreement, our new Disarmament Program thus includes the following proposals:
:First, signing [[w:Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty|the test-ban treaty]] by all nations. This can be done now. Test ban [[negotiations]] need not and should not await general disarmament.
:Second, stopping the production of fissionable materials for use in weapons, and preventing their transfer to any nation now lacking in nuclear weapons.
:Third, prohibiting the transfer of control over nuclear weapons to states that do not own them.
:Fourth, keeping nuclear weapons from seeding new battlegrounds in outer space.
:Fifth, gradually destroying existing nuclear weapons and converting their materials to peaceful uses; and
:Finally, halting the unlimited testing and production of strategic nuclear delivery vehicles, and gradually destroying them as well.
* But we are well aware that all issues of principle are not settled, and that principles alone are not enough. '''It is''' therefore '''our intention to challenge the [[w:Soviet Union|Soviet Union]], not to an arms race, but to a peace race- -to advance together step by step, stage by stage, until general and complete disarmament has been achieved.''' We invite them now to go beyond agreement in principle to reach agreement on actual plans.
* '''Peace is not solely a matter of military or technical problems — it is primarily a problem of politics and people. And unless man can match his strides in weaponry and technology with equal strides in social and political development, our great strength, like that of the dinosaur, will become incapable of proper control — and like the dinosaur vanish from the earth.'''
* '''Political [[sovereignty]] is but a mockery without the means of meeting poverty and illiteracy and disease. Self-determination is but a slogan if the future holds no hope.'''
* I do not ignore '''the remaining problems of [[w:colonialism|traditional colonialism]]''' which still confront this body. '''Those problems will be solved, with [[patience]], [[good will]], and [[determination]].''' Within the limits of our responsibility in such matters, my Country intends to be a participant and not merely an observer, in the peaceful, expeditious [[Decolonization|movement of nations from the status of colonies to the partnership of equals]]. That continuing tide of self-determination, which runs so strong, has our sympathy and our support. '''But colonialism in its harshest forms is not only the exploitation of new nations by old, of dark skins by light, or the subjugation of the poor by the rich. My Nation was once a colony, and we know what colonialism means; the exploitation and subjugation of the weak by the powerful, of the many by the few, of the governed who have given no consent to be governed, whatever their continent, their class, their color.'''
* '''For a city or a people to be truly free they must have the secure right, without economic, political or police pressure, to make their own choice and to live their own lives.'''
* '''The political disposition of peoples should rest upon their own wishes, freely expressed in plebiscites or free elections.''' If there are legal problems, they can be solved by legal means. If there is a threat of force, it must be rejected. If there is desire for change, it must be a subject for [[negotiation]], and if there is negotiation, it must be rooted in mutual respect and concern for the rights of others.
* I pledge you that we will neither commit nor provoke aggression, that we shall neither flee nor invoke the threat of force, that '''we shall never negotiate out of fear, we shall never fear to negotiate.'''
* '''[[Terrorism|Terror]] is not a new weapon. Throughout history it has been used by those who could not prevail, either by persuasion or example. But inevitably they fail, either because men are not afraid to die for a life worth living, or because the terrorists themselves came to realize that free men cannot be frightened by threats, and that aggression would meet its own response.''' And it is in the light of that history that every nation today should know, be he friend or foe, that the United States has both the will and the weapons to join free men in standing up to their responsibilities.
* '''I come here today to look across this world of threats to a world of peace. In that search we cannot expect any final triumph''' — for new problems will always arise. We cannot expect that all nations will adopt like systems — for '''conformity is the jailor of freedom, and the enemy of growth.''' Nor can we expect to reach our goal by contrivance, by fiat or even by the wishes of all.<br> '''But however close we sometimes seem to that dark and final abyss, let no man of peace and freedom despair. For he does not stand alone. If we all can persevere, if we can in every land and office look beyond our own shores and ambitions, then surely the age will dawn in which the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved.'''
* Ladies and gentlemen of this Assembly, the decision is ours. Never have the nations of the world had so much to lose, or so much to gain. '''Together we shall save our planet, or together we shall perish in its flames. Save it we can — and save it we must — and then shall we earn the eternal thanks of mankind and, as peacemakers, the eternal blessing of [[God]].'''
==== Address at the University of Washington ====
:<small>[http://www.jfklibrary.org/Asset-Viewer/Aw3MwwJMf0631R6JLmAprQ.aspx Address at the University of Washington's 100th Anniversary Program] (16 November 1961). As 1961 drew to an end, the United States and the [[w:Soviet Union|Soviet Union]] were at the height of the [[w:Cold War|Cold War]], and Cuba and [[w:Berlin Crisis of 1961|Berlin]] were hot spots. In April 1961, the United States Central Intelligence Agency had organized 1,400 armed Cuban exiles in [[w:Bay of Pigs Invasion|a failed attempt to invade Cuba at the Bay of Pigs]]. On August 20, 1961, East Germany erected a five foot high concrete wall dividing East and West Berlin and on October 28, 1961, a tense, 18-hour face off occurred at the Berlin Wall between Soviet and American tanks. On August 31, 1961, the Soviet Union began conducting aboveground nuclear tests, detonating perhaps 15 bombs during September 1961. Local newspapers advised Seattleites on how to construct and stock personal nuclear fallout shelters. It was in this context that President John F. Kennedy arrived at Boeing Airport in Seattle, Washington on November 16, 1961 to deliver a major foreign policy speech at the [[w:University of Washington|University of Washington]] Centennial Convocation. In his speech President Kennedy discusses the creation of [[w:Land-grant university|educational institutions]] through the [[w:Morrill Land-Grant Acts|Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890]]. He also addresses the current state of American international relations, with emphasis on the challenges of defending freedom and maintaining peace as a world power. · [http://www.learner.org/channel/workshops/primarysources/coldwar/docs/jfk.html "President John F.

* '''The basis of self-government and freedom requires the development of character and self-restraint and perseverance and the long view. And these are qualities which require many years of training and education.'''
* We increase our arms at a heavy cost, primarily to make certain that we will not have to use them. We must face up to the chance of war, if we are to maintain the peace. We must work with certain countries lacking in freedom in order to strengthen the cause of freedom. We find some who call themselves neutral who are our friends and sympathetic to us, and others who call themselves neutral who are unremittingly hostile to us. And as the most powerful defender of freedom on earth, we find ourselves unable to escape the responsibilities of freedom, and yet unable to exercise it without restraints imposed by the very freedoms we seek to protect. </br> We cannot, as a free nation, compete with our adversaries in tactics of terror, assassination, false promises, counterfeit mobs and crises. </br> '''We cannot, under the scrutiny of a free press and public, tell different stories to different audiences, foreign and domestic, friendly and hostile.''' </br> We cannot abandon the slow processes of consulting with our allies to match the swift expediencies of those who merely dictate to their satellites. </br> We can neither abandon nor control the international organization in which we now cast less than 1 percent of the vote in the General Assembly. </br> '''We possess weapons of tremendous power — but they are least effective in combating the weapons most often used by freedom's foes: subversion, infiltration, guerrilla warfare, civil disorder.''' </br> We send arms to other peoples — just as we send them the ideals of democracy in which we believe — but we cannot send them the will to use those arms or to abide by those ideals. </br> And while we believe not only in the force of arms but in the force of right and reason, we have learned that reason does not always appeal to unreasonable men — that it is not always true that [[s:Bible (King James)/Proverbs#Chapter_15|"a soft answer turneth away wrath"]] — and that right does not always make might. </br> In short, '''we must face problems which do not lend themselves to easy or quick or permanent solutions. And we must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent or omniscient — that we are only 6 percent of the world's population — that we cannot impose our will upon the other 94 percent of mankind — that we cannot right every wrong or reverse each adversity — and that therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem.'''

* These burdens and frustrations are accepted by most Americans with maturity and understanding. They may long for the days when war meant charging up [[w:Battle of San Juan Hill|San Juan Hill]]-or when our isolation was guarded by two oceans — or when the atomic bomb was ours alone — or when much of the industrialized world depended upon our resources and our aid. But they now know that those days are gone — and that gone with them are the old policies and the old complacency's. And they know, too, that '''we must make the best of our new problems and our new opportunities, whatever the risk and the cost.''' </br> But there are others who cannot bear the burden of a long twilight struggle. They lack confidence in our long-run capacity to survive and succeed. Hating communism, yet they see communism in the long run, perhaps, as the wave of the future. And they want some quick and easy and final and cheap solution — now. </br> There are two groups of these frustrated citizens, far apart in their views yet very much alike in their approach. On the one hand are those who urge upon us what I regard to be the pathway of surrender-appeasing our enemies, compromising our commitments, purchasing peace at any price, disavowing our arms, our friends, our obligations. If their view had prevailed, the world of free choice would be smaller today. </br> On the other hand are those who urge upon us what I regard to be the pathway of war: equating [[negotiations]] with appeasement and substituting rigidity for firmness. If their view had prevailed, we would be at war today, and in more than one place. </br> It is a curious fact that each of these extreme opposites resembles the other. Each believes that we have only two choices: appeasement or war, suicide or surrender, humiliation or holocaust, to be either Red or dead. Each side sees only "hard" and "soft" nations, hard and soft policies, hard and soft men. Each believes that any departure from its own course inevitably leads to the other: one group believes that any peaceful solution means appeasement; the other believes that any arms build-up means war. One group regards everyone else as warmongers, the other regards everyone else as appeasers. Neither side admits that its path will lead to disaster — but neither can tell us how or where to draw the line once we descend the slippery slopes of appeasement or constant intervention. </br> In short, while both extremes profess to be the true realists of our time, neither could be more unrealistic. While both claim to be doing the nation a service, they could do it no greater disservice. This kind of talk and '''easy solutions to difficult problems, if believed, could inspire a lack of confidence among our people when they must all — above all else — be united in recognizing the long and difficult days that lie ahead. It could inspire uncertainty among our allies when above all else they must be confident in us. And even more dangerously, it could, if believed, inspire doubt among our adversaries when they must above all be convinced that we will defend our vital interests.''' </br> The essential fact that both of these groups fail to grasp is that '''diplomacy and defense are not substitutes for one another. Either alone would fail. A willingness to resist force, unaccompanied by a willingness to talk, could provoke belligerence — while a willingness to talk, unaccompanied by a willingness to resist force, could invite disaster.'''
* But '''as long as we know what comprises our vital interests and our long-range goals, we have nothing to fear from [[negotiations]] at the appropriate time, and nothing to gain by refusing to take part in them.''' At a time when a single clash could escalate overnight into a holocaust of mushroom clouds, '''a great power does not prove its firmness by leaving the task of exploring the other's intentions to sentries or those without full responsibility. Nor can ultimate weapons rightfully be employed, or the ultimate sacrifice rightfully demanded of our citizens, until every reasonable solution has been explored.''' "How many wars," [[Winston Churchill]] has written, "have been averted by patience and persisting good will! .... How many wars have been precipitated by firebrands!"
* '''If vital interests under duress can be preserved by peaceful means, [[negotiations]] will find that out. If our adversary will accept nothing-less than a concession of our rights, negotiations will find that out. And if negotiations are to take place, this nation cannot abdicate to its adversaries the task of choosing the forum and the framework and the time.'''
* '''No one should be under the illusion that negotiations for the sake of negotiations always advance the cause of peace. If for lack of preparation they break up in bitterness, the prospects of peace have been endangered. If they are made a forum for propaganda or a cover for aggression, the processes of peace have been abused.''' But it is a test of our national maturity to accept the fact that negotiations are not a contest spelling victory or defeat. They may succeed — they may fail. They are likely to be successful only if both sides reach an agreement which both regard as preferable to the status quo — an agreement in which each side can consider its own situation to be improved. And this is most difficult to obtain. But, '''while we shall negotiate freely, we shall not negotiate freedom.''' Our answer to the classic question of [[Patrick Henry]] is still no-life is not so dear, and peace is not so precious, "as to be purchased at the price of chains and [[slavery]]." And that is our answer even though, for the first time since the ancient battles between Greek city-states, war entails the threat of total annihilation, of everything we know, of society itself. '''For to save mankind's future freedom, we must face up to any risk that is necessary. We will always seek peace — but we will never surrender.'''
* '''In short, we are neither "warmongers" nor "appeasers," neither "hard" nor "soft." We are Americans, determined to defend the frontiers of freedom, by an honorable peace if peace is possible, but by arms if arms are used against us.''' And if we are to move forward in that spirit, we shall need all the calm and thoughtful citizens that this great University can produce, all the light they can shed, all the wisdom they can bring to bear. It is customary, both here and around the world, to regard life in the United States as easy. Our advantages are many. But more than any other people on earth, '''we bear burdens and accept risks unprecedented in their size and their duration, not for ourselves alone but for all who wish to be free.'''

And it is an interesting [[Biology|biological]] fact that all of us have, in our veins the exact same percentage of [[salt]] in our [[blood]] that exists in the [[Oceans|ocean]], and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. '''And when we go back to the sea — whether it is to sail or to watch it — we are going back from whence we came.'''"

* All students, members of the faculty, and public officials in both Mississippi and the Nation will be able, it is hoped, to return to their normal activities with full confidence in the integrity of American law. This is as it should be, for '''our Nation is founded on the principle that observance of the law is the eternal safeguard of liberty and defiance of the law is the surest road to tyranny.''' The law which we obey includes the final rulings of the [[courts]], as well as the enactments of our [[Legislature|legislative]] bodies. Even among law-abiding men few laws are universally loved, but they are uniformly respected and not resisted. '''Americans are free''', in short, '''to disagree with the law but not to disobey it.''' For '''in a government of laws and not of men, no man, however prominent or powerful, and no mob however unruly or boisterous, is entitled to defy a court of law. If this country should ever reach the point where any man or group of men by force or threat of force could long defy the commands of our court and our Constitution, then no law would stand free from doubt, no judge would be sure of his writ, and no citizen would be safe from his neighbors.'''

* In 1945 a [[Mississippi]] sergeant, Jake Lindsey, was honored by an unusual joint session of the Congress. I close therefore, with this appeal to the students of the University, the people who are most concerned. You have a great tradition to uphold, a tradition of honor and courage won on the field of battle and on the gridiron as well as the University campus. You have a new opportunity to show that you are men of patriotism and integrity. For '''the most effective means of upholding the law is not the State policeman or the marshals or the [[w:United State National Guard|National Guard]]. It is you. It lies in your courage to accept those laws with which you disagree as well as those with which you agree.'''

* '''There is a limitation''', in other words, '''upon the power of the United States to bring about solutions.''' I think our people get awfully impatient and maybe fatigued and tired, and saying "We have been carrying this burden for 17 years; can we lay it down?" We can't lay it down, and I don't see how we are going to lay it down in this century. '''So that I would say that the problems are more difficult than I had imagined them to be. The responsibilities placed on the United States are greater than I imagined them to be, and there are greater limitations upon our ability to bring about a favorable result than I had imagined them to be. And I think that is probably true of anyone who becomes President, because there is such a difference between those who advise or speak or legislate, and between the man who must select from the various alternatives proposed and say that this shall be the policy of the United States. It is much easier to make the speeches than it is to finally make the judgments, because unfortunately your advisers are frequently divided. If you take the wrong course''', and on occasion I have, '''the President bears the burden of the responsibility quite rightly. The advisers may move on to new advice.'''

==== Second State of the Union Address ====
:<small>[[s:John F. Kennedy's Second State of the Union Address|Second State of the Union Address]] (11 January 1962)</small>
* Members of the Congress, '''the Constitution makes us not rivals for power but partners for progress. We are all trustees for the American people, custodians of the American heritage.''' It is my task to report the State of '''the Union — to improve it is the task of us all.'''
* In the past year, I have traveled not only across our own land but to other lands-to the North and the South, and across the seas. And '''I have found'''--as I am sure you have, in your travels--'''that people everywhere, in spite of occasional disappointments, look to us--not to our wealth or power, but to the splendor of our ideals. For our Nation is commissioned by history to be either an observer of freedom's failure or the cause of its success. Our overriding obligation in the months ahead is to fulfill the world's hopes by fulfilling our own faith.''' [...] '''That task must begin at home. For if we cannot fulfill our own ideals here, we cannot expect others to accept them. And when the youngest child alive today has grown to the cares of manhood, our position in the world will be determined first of all by what provisions we make today--for his education, his health, and his opportunities for a good home and a good job and a good life.'''
* '''The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining''' — by filling three basic gaps in our anti-recession protection.
* World order will be secured only when the whole world has laid down these weapons which seem to offer us present security but threaten the future survival of the human race. That armistice day seems very far away. The vast resources of this planet are being devoted more and more to the means of destroying, instead of enriching, human life. <br> But '''the world was not meant to be a prison in which man awaits his execution.''' Nor has mankind survived the tests and trials of thousands of years to surrender everything — including its existence — now. This Nation has the will and the faith to make a supreme effort to break the log jam on [[disarmament]] and nuclear tests — and we will persist until we prevail, until the rule of law has replaced the ever dangerous use of force.
* These various elements in our [[Foreign policy of the United States|foreign policy]] lead, as I have said, to a single goal — the goal of a peaceful world of free and independent states. This is our guide for the present and our vision for the future — a free community of nations, independent but interdependent, uniting north and south, east and west, in one great family of man, outgrowing and transcending the hates and fears that rend our age. </br> We will not reach that goal today, or tomorrow. We may not reach it in our own lifetime. But the quest is the greatest adventure of our century. '''We sometimes chafe at the burden of our obligations, the complexity of our decisions, the agony of our choices. But there is no comfort or security for us in evasion, no solution in abdication, no relief in irresponsibility.'''

[[File:CalvaryCemeteryQueens edit.jpg|thumb|We must think and act not only for the moment but for our time.]]
* This college, therefore, from its earliest beginnings, has recognized and its graduates have recognized, that '''the purpose of education is not merely to advance the economic self-interest of its graduates. The people''' of [[California]], as much if not more than the people of any other State, '''have supported their colleges and universities and their schools because they recognize how important it is to the maintenance of a free society that its citizens be well educated.''' "Every man" said Professor [[Woodrow Wilson]], "sent out from a university should be a man of his nation as well as a man of his time." And [[Otto von Bismarck|Prince Bismarck]] was even more specific. One third, he said, of the students of [[Germany|German]] [[universities]] broke down from overwork, another third, broke down from dissipation, and the other third ruled Germany. I do not know which third of students are here today, but I am confident that I am talking to the future leaders of this State and country who recognize their responsibilities to the public interest.
* But history may well remember this as a week for an act of lesser immediate impact, and that is '''the decision by the United States and the Soviet Union to seek concrete agreements on the joint exploration of space. Experience has taught us that an agreement to negotiate does not always mean a negotiated agreement. But should such a joint effort be realized, its significance could well be tremendous for us all. In terms of space science, our combined knowledge and efforts can benefit the people of all the nations: joint weather satellites to provide more ample warnings against destructive storms--joint communications systems to draw the world more closely together--and cooperation in space medicine research and space tracking operations to speed the day when man will go to the moon and beyond. But the scientific gains from such a joint effort would offer, I believe, less realized returns than the gains for world peace. For a [[Russia–United States relations|cooperative Soviet-American effort]] in space science and exploration would emphasize the interests that must unite us, rather than those that always divide us. It offers us an area in which the stale and sterile dogmas of the cold war could be literally left a quarter of a million miles behind. And it would remind us on both sides that knowledge, not hate, is the passkey to the future--that knowledge transcends national antagonisms--that it speaks a universal language--that it is the possession not of a single class, or of a single nation or a single ideology, but of all mankind.'''
* '''We may be proud as a nation of our record in scientific achievement--but at the same time we must be impressed by the interdependence of all knowledge. I am certain that every scholar and scientist here today would agree that his own work has benefited immeasurably from the work of the men and women in other countries.''' The prospect of a partnership with Soviet [[scientists]] in the exploration of space opens up exciting prospects of collaboration in other areas of learning. '''And cooperation in the pursuit of knowledge can hopefully lead to cooperation in the pursuit of peace.'''
* Yet '''the pursuit of knowledge itself implies a world where men are free to follow out the logic of their own ideas. It implies a world where nations are free to solve their own problems and to realize their own ideals. It implies, in short, a world where collaboration emerges from the voluntary decisions of nations strong in their own independence and their own self-respect. It implies, I believe, the kind of world which is emerging before our eyes--the world produced by the revolution of national independence which has today, and has been since 1945, sweeping across the face of the world.'''
* I sometimes think that we are too much impressed by the clamor of daily events. The newspaper headlines and the television screens give us a short view. They so flood us with the stop-press details of daily stories that we lose sight of one of the great movements of history. Yet '''it is the profound tendencies of history and not the passing excitements that will shape our future.'''
* '''[[Wisdom]] requires the long view. And the long view shows us that the revolution of national independence is a fundamental fact of our era. This revolution will not be stopped. As new nations emerge from the oblivion of centuries, their first aspiration is to affirm their national identity. Their deepest hope is for a world where, within a framework of international cooperation, every country can solve its own problems according to its own traditions and ideals.'''
* '''It is in the interests of the pursuit of knowledge--and it is in our own national interest--that this revolution of national independence succeed. For the Communists rest everything on the idea of a monolithic world--a world where all knowledge has a single pattern, all societies move toward a single model, and all problems and roads have a single solution and a single destination. The pursuit of knowledge, on the other hand, rests everything on the opposite idea--on the idea of a world based on diversity, self-determination, freedom. And that is the kind of world to which we Americans, as a nation, are committed by the principles upon which the great Republic was founded.'''
* '''No one who examines the modern world can doubt that the great currents of history are carrying the world away from the monolithic idea towards the pluralistic idea--away from [[communism]] and towards national [[independence]] and [[freedom]]. No one can doubt that the wave of the [[future]] is not the conquest of the world by a single dogmatic creed but the liberation of the diverse energies of free nations and free men. No one can doubt that cooperation in the pursuit of [[knowledge]] must lead to freedom of the mind and freedom of the soul.'''
* '''Beyond the drumfire of daily crisis''', therefore, '''there is arising the outlines of a robust and vital world community, founded on nations secure in their own independence, and united by their allegiance to world peace. It would be foolish to say that this world will be won tomorrow, or the day after. The processes of history are fitful and uncertain and aggravating. There will be frustrations and setbacks. There will be times of anxiety and gloom. The specter of [[w:Nuclear warfare|thermonuclear]] [[war]] will continue to hang over mankind; and we must heed the advice of [[Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.|Oliver Wendell Holmes]] of "freedom leaning on her spear" until all nations are wise enough to disarm safely and effectively. Yet we can have a new confidence today in the direction in which history is moving. Nothing is more stirring than the recognition of great public purpose. Every great age is marked by innovation and daring--by the ability to meet unprecedented problems with intelligent solutions. In a time of turbulence and change, it is more true than ever that knowledge is power; for only by true understanding and steadfast judgment are we able to master the challenge of history. If this is so, we must strive to acquire knowledge--and to apply it with wisdom. We must reject over-simplified theories of international life--the theory that American power is unlimited, or that the American mission is to remake the world in the American image. We must seize the vision of a free and diverse world--and shape our policies to speed progress toward a more flexible world order.'''
* This is the unifying spirit of our policies in the world today. The purpose of our aid programs must be to help developing countries to move forward as rapidly as possible on the road to genuine national independence. Our military policies must assist nations to protect the processes of democratic reform and development against the forces of disruption and intervention. Our diplomatic policies must strengthen our relations with the whole world, with our several alliances and within the United Nations.
* As we press forward on every front to realize a flexible world order, the role of the university becomes even more important, both as a reservoir of ideas and as a repository of the long view of the shore dimly seen. '''"Knowledge is the great sun of the firmament" said [[Daniel Webster|Senator Daniel Webster]]. "Life and power are scattered along its beams." In its light we must think and act not only for the moment but for our time. I am reminded of the story of [[w:Hubert Lyautey|the great French Marshal Lyautey]], who once asked his gardener to plant a tree. The gardener objected that the tree was slow-growing and would not reach maturity for a hundred years. The Marshal replied, "In that case, there is no time to lose, plant it this afternoon." Today a world of knowledge--a world of cooperation--a just and lasting peace--may be years away. But we have no time to lose. Let us plant our trees this afternoon.'''
==== Address at Independence Hall ====
:<small> [http://www.jfklibrary.org/Asset-Viewer/RrjaDhW5B0OYm2zaJbyPgg.aspx Address at Independence Hall by John F. Kennedy in Independence Square at [[w:Independence Hall|Independence Hall]] in Philadelphia] (4 July 1962). In his speech President Kennedy praises the American democratic system which encourages differences and allows for dissent, discusses the enduring relevance of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and addresses the role of the United States in relation to the emerging [[w:European Communities|European Community]].</small>
[[File:EXCOMM_meeting,_Cuban_Missile_Crisis,_29_October_1962.jpg|thumb|Our responsibility is one of decision — for to govern is to choose.]]
[[File:Scene_at_the_Signing_of_the_Constitution_of_the_United_States.jpg|thumb|As apt and applicable as the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]] is today, we would do well to honor that other historic document drafted in this hall — the [[Constitution of the United States]]. For it stressed not independence but interdependence — not the individual liberty of one but the indivisible liberty of all.]]
* The necessity for comity between the National Government and the several States is an indelible lesson of our long history. Because our system is designed to encourage both differences and dissent, because its checks and balances are designed to preserve the rights of the individual and the locality against preeminent central authority, you and I, Governors, recognize how dependent we both are, one upon the other, for the successful operation of our unique and happy form of government. Our system and our freedom permit the legislative to be pitted against the executive, the State against the Federal Government, the city against the countryside, party against party, interest against interest, all in competition or in contention one with another. Our task — your task in the State House and my task in [[w:The White House|the White House]] — is to weave from all these tangled threads a fabric of law and progress. We are not permitted the luxury of irresolution. Others may confine themselves to debate, discussion, and that ultimate luxury — free advice. '''Our responsibility is one of decision — for to govern is to choose.'''
* The theory of independence is as old as man himself, and it was not invented in this hall. But it was in this hall that the theory became a practice; that the word went out to all, in [[Thomas Jefferson]]'s phrase, that "the God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time." And today this Nation — conceived in revolution, nurtured in liberty, maturing in independence — has no intention of abdicating its leadership in that worldwide movement for independence to any nation or society committed to systematic human oppression.
* '''As apt and applicable as the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]] is today, we would do well to honor that other historic document drafted in this hall — the [[Constitution of the United States]]. For it stressed not independence but interdependence — not the individual liberty of one but the indivisible liberty of all.'''
* A great new edifice is not built overnight. It was 11 years from the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]] to the [[Constitutional Convention (United States)|writing of the Constitution]]. The construction of workable [[Federal government of the United States|federal institutions]] required still another generation. The greatest works of our Nation's founders lay not in documents and in declarations, but in creative, determined action. The building of the new house of [[Europe]] has followed the same practical, purposeful course. Building the [[w:Atlantic Alliance|Atlantic partnership]] now will not be easily or cheaply finished.
* In most of the old colonial world, the struggle for independence is coming to an end. Even in areas behind the [[w:Iron Curtain|Curtain]], that which Jefferson called "the disease of liberty" still appears to be infectious. With the passing of ancient [[Empire|empires]], today less than 2 percent of the world's population lives in territories officially termed "dependent." As this effort for independence, inspired by the [[United States Declaration of Independence|American Declaration of Independence]], now approaches a successful close, a great new effort — for interdependence — is transforming the world about us. And the spirit of that new effort is the same spirit which gave birth to the American Constitution. That spirit is today most clearly seen across the [[Atlantic Ocean]]. The nations of [[Western Europe]], long divided by feuds far more bitter than any which existed among the [[w:Thirteen Colonies|13 colonies]], are today joining together, seeking, as our forefathers sought, to find freedom in diversity and in unity, strength.
* '''Acting on our own, by ourselves, we cannot establish justice throughout the world; we cannot insure its domestic tranquility, or provide for its common defense, or promote its general welfare, or secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. But joined with other free nations, we can do all this and more. We can assist the developing nations to throw off the yoke of poverty. We can balance our worldwide trade and payments at the highest possible level of growth. We can mount a deterrent powerful enough to deter any aggression. And ultimately we can help to achieve a world of law and free choice, banishing the world of war and coercion.'''
* '''On this fourth day of July, 1962, we''' who are gathered at this same hall, entrusted with the fate and future of our States and Nation, '''declare''' now '''our vow to do our part to lift the weights from the shoulders of all, to join other men and nations in preserving both peace and freedom, and to regard any threat to the peace or freedom of one as a threat to the peace and freedom of all.'''

*'''We meet in an hour of [[change]] and [[challenge]], in a decade of [[hope]] and [[fear]], in an age of both [[knowledge]] and [[ignorance]]. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.'''
* No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense, if you will, the 50 thousand years of man's recorded history in a time span of but a half-century. Stated in these terms, we know very little about the first 40 years, except at the end of them advanced man had learned to use the skins of [[animals]] to cover them. Then about 10 years ago, under this standard, man emerged from his caves to construct other kinds of shelter. Only five years ago man learned to [[Writing|write]] and use a cart with wheels. [[Christianity]] began less than two years ago. The [[w:Printing press|printing press]] came this year, and then less than two months ago, during this whole 50-year span of human history, the [[steam engine]] provided a new source of power. [[Isaac Newton|Newton]] explored the meaning of gravity. Last month [[Electricity|electric]] lights and telephones and [[automobiles]] and airplanes became available. Only last week did we [[w:History of penicillin|develop penicillin]] and [[w:History of television|television]] and [[w:Chicago Pile-1|nuclear power]], and now if [[w:Mariner_2|America's new spacecraft]] succeeds in reaching [[Venus]], we will have literally reached the [[stars]] before midnight tonight. </br> This is a breathtaking pace, and such a pace cannot help but create new ills as it dispels old, new ignorance, new problems, new dangers. Surely '''the opening vistas of space promise high costs and hardships, as well as high reward.''' </br> So it is not surprising that some would have us stay where we are a little longer to rest, to wait. But this city of [[Houston]], this state of [[Texas]], this country of '''the United States was not built by those who waited and rested and wished to look behind them. This country was conquered by those who moved forward — and so will space.'''
* If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that '''man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred. The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space.'''
* Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the [[Industrial Revolution|industrial revolution]], the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of [[Nuclear power|nuclear power]], and '''this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it — we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the [[moon]] and to the [[Planet|planets]] beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with [[w:Weapons of mass destruction|weapons of mass destruction]], but with instruments of [[knowledge]] and [[understanding]].'''
* '''Yet the vows of this Nation can only be fulfilled if we in this Nation are first, and, therefore, we intend to be first. In short, our leadership in science and industry, our hopes for peace and security, our obligations to ourselves as well as others, all require us to make this effort, to solve these mysteries, to solve them for the good of all men, and to become the world's leading space-faring nation.'''
* '''We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like [[w:Nuclear physics|nuclear science]] and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war.''' I do not say that we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.
* '''There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all.''' Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again.
*'''We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.'''
* We have had our failures, but so have others, even if they do not admit them. And they may be less public.
* '''The growth of our science and education will be enriched by new knowledge of our universe and environment, by new techniques of learning and mapping and observation, by new tools and computers for industry, medicine, the home as well as the school. Technical institutions''', such as Rice, '''will reap the harvest of these gains.''' And finally, the space effort itself, while still in its infancy, has already created a great number of new companies, and tens of thousands of new jobs. '''Space and related industries are generating new demands in [[investment]] and skilled personnel''', and this city and this state, and this region, will share greatly in this growth.
* Many years ago the great [[United Kingdom|British]] explorer [[George Mallory]], who was to die on [[Mount Everest]], was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, "Because it is there." '''Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.'''

:<small> [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/presidents/35_kennedy/psources/ps_armsbild.html Radio and television address] about the Cuban missile crisis (22 October 1962). This reports on the establishment of offensive missile sites presumably intended to launch a nuclear offensive against Western nations. The President characterizes the transformation of Cuba into an important strategic base as an explicit threat to American security, and explains seven components to his proposed course of action: quarantine all offensive military equipment under shipment to Cuba, increase the degree of surveillance, regard a possible attack launched from Cuba as a Soviet attack, reinforce the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, call for a meeting of the Organ of Consultation, call for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council, and demand that Premier [[Nikita Khrushchev]] cease his current course of action.</small>
* Neither the United States of America nor the world community of nations can tolerate deliberate deception and offensive threats on the part of any nation, large or small. We no longer live in a world where only the actual firing of weapons represents a sufficient challenge to a nation's security to constitute maximum peril. Nuclear weapons are so destructive and ballistic missiles are so swift, that any substantially increased possibility of their use or any sudden change in their deployment may well be regarded as a definite threat to peace.
* We will not prematurely or unnecessarily risk the costs of '''a worldwide nuclear war in which even the fruits of victory would be ashes in our mouth''' — but neither shall we shrink from that risk any time it must be faced.
* The [[w:1930s|1930's]] taught us a clear lesson: '''[[War of aggression|aggressive]] conduct, if allowed to go unchecked and unchallenged ultimately leads to war.'''
* '''It shall be the policy of this Nation to regard any nuclear missile launched from Cuba against any nation in the Western Hemisphere as an attack by the Soviet Union on the United States, requiring a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union.'''
* '''We have no wish to war with the Soviet Union--for we are a peaceful people who desire to live in peace with all other peoples.'''
* My fellow citizens: let no one doubt that this is a difficult and dangerous effort on which we have set out. No one can see precisely what course it will take or what costs or casualties will be incurred. '''Many months of sacrifice and self-discipline lie ahead--months in which our patience and our will will be tested--months in which many threats and denunciations will keep us aware of our dangers. But the greatest danger of all would be to do nothing.'''
* The path we have chosen for the present is full of hazards, as all paths are; but it is one of the most consistent with our character and our courage as a nation and our commitments around the world. The cost of freedom is always high — but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and this is the path of surrender or submission. '''Our goal is not victory of might but the vindication of right — not peace at the expense of freedom, but both peace and freedom, here in this hemisphere and, we hope, around the world.''' God willing, that goal will be achieved. Thank you, and good night.
==== First letter to Nikita Khrushchev ====
:<small>[http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_textbook.cfm?smtID=3&psid=3637transcript JFK points out that the U.S. is pursuing a "minimum response" but will do whatever is necessary to assure its security.(22 October 1962)]</small>
* A copy of the statement I am making tonight concerning developments in Cuba and the reaction of my Government thereto has been handed to your Ambassador in Washington. In view of the gravity of the developments to which I refer, I want you to know immediately and accurately the position of my Government in this matter.
* In our discussions and exchanges on Berlin and other international questions, the one thing that has most concerned me has been the possibility that your Government would not correctly understand the will and determination of the United States in any given situation, since I have not assumed that you or any other sane man would, in this nuclear age, deliberately plunge the world into war which it is crystal clear no country could win and which could only result in catastrophic consequences to the whole world, including the aggressor.
* At our meeting in [[Vienna]] and subsequently, I expressed our readiness and desire to find, through peaceful negotiation, a solution to any and all problems that divide us. At the same time. I made clear that in view of the objectives of the ideology to which you adhere, the United States could not tolerate any action on your part which in a major way disturbed the existing over-all balance of power in the world. I stated that an attempt to force abandonment of our responsibilities and commitments in Berlin would constitute such an action and that the United States would resist with all the power at its command.
* It was in order to avoid any incorrect assessment on the part of your Government with respect to Cuba that I publicly stated that if certain developments in Cuba took place, the United States would do whatever must be done to protect its own security and that of its allies.
* Moreover, the Congress adopted a resolution expressing its support of this declared policy. Despite this, the rapid development of long-range missile bases and other offensive weapons systems in Cuba has proceeded. I must tell you that the United States is determined that this threat to the security of this hemisphere be removed. At the same time, I wish to point out that the action we are taking is the minimum necessary to remove the threat to the security of the nations of this hemisphere. The fact of this minimum response should not be taken as a basis, however, for any misjudgment on your part.
* I hope that your Government will refrain from any action which would widen or deepen this already grave crisis and that we can agree to resume the path of peaceful negotiation.
==== Second Letter to Nikita Khrushchev ====
:<small>[http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_textbook.cfm?smtID=3&psid=3637transcript This is a response from Kennedy to Nikita Khrushchev reassuring the Soviets that the U.S. would not invade Cuba. President Kennedy responded to the requests of Khrushchev's first letter to him, disregarding the second letter. Upon agreement of these letters, the Missile Crisis was over (27 October 1962)]</small>
* I have read your letter of October 26th with great care and welcomed the statement of your desire to seek a prompt solution to the problem. The first thing that needs to be done, however, is for work to cease on offensive missile bases on Cuba and for all weapons systems in Cuba capable of offensive use to be rendered inoperable, under effective United Nations arrangements.
* Assuming this is done promptly, I have given my representatives in New York instructions that will permit them to work out this weekend — in cooperation with the [[U Thant|Acting Secretary General]] and your representative — an arrangement for a permanent solution to the Cuban problem along the lines suggested in your letter of October 26th. As I read your letter, the key elements of your proposals — which seem generally acceptable as I understand them — are as follows:
* 1) You would agree to remove these weapons systems from Cuba under appropriate United Nations observation and supervision; and undertake, with suitable safeguards, to halt the further introduction of such weapons systems into Cuba.
* 2) We, on our part, would agree — upon the establishment of adequate arrangements through the United Nations to ensure the carrying out and continuation of these commitments — (a) to remove promptly the quarantine measures now in effect and (b) to give assurances against an invasion of Cuba. I am confident that other nations of the Western Hemisphere would be prepared to do likewise.
* If you will give your representative similar instructions, there is no reason why we should not be able to complete these arrangements and announce them to the world within a couple of days. The effect of such a settlement on easing world tensions would enable us to work toward a more general arrangement regarding "other armaments," as proposed in your second letter which you made public. I would like to say again that the United States is very much interested in reducing tensions and halting the arms race; and if your letter signifies that you are prepared to discuss a detente affecting [[NATO]] and the [[w:Warsaw Pact|Warsaw Pact, we are q]]<nowiki/>uite prepared to consider with our allies any useful proposals.
* But the first ingredient, let me emphasize, is the cessation of work on missile sites on Cuba and measures to render such weapons inoperable, under effective international guarantees. The continuations of this threat, or prolonging of this discussion concerning Cuba by linking these problems to the broader questions of European and world security, would surely lead to the peace of the world. For this reason I hope we can quickly agree along the lines outlined in this letter of October 26th.

* Less than a month ago [[Cuban Missile Crisis|this Nation reminded the world that it possessed both the will and the weapons to meet any threat to the security of free men]]. The gains we have made will not be given up, and the course that we have pursued will not be abandoned. But in the long run, that '''security will not be determined by military or diplomatic moves alone. It will be affected by the decisions of finance ministers as well as by the decisions of Secretaries of State and Secretaries of Defense; by the deployment of fiscal and monetary weapons as well as by military weapons; and above all by the strength of this Nation's economy as well as by the strength of our defenses.'''
* '''But a leading nation, a nation upon which all depend not only in this country but around the world, cannot afford to be satisfied, to look back or to pause. On our strength and growth depend the strength of others, the spread of [[Free trade|free world trade]] and unity, and continued confidence in our leadership and [[Dollar|our currency]].''' The underdeveloped countries are dependent upon us for the sale of their primary commodities and for aid to their struggling economies. '''In short, a prosperous and growing America is important not only to Americans--it is''', as the spokesman for 20 Western nations in the [[w:OECD|Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development]], as he stressed this week, '''of vital importance to the entire Western World.'''
* '''There is no need for us to be satisfied with a rate of growth that keeps good men out of work and good capacity out of use.'''
* '''There are a number of ways by which the Federal Government can meet its responsibilities to aid economic growth. We can and must improve American education and technical training. We can and must expand civilian research and technology.''' One of the great bottlenecks for this country's [[economic growth]] in this decade will be the shortage of doctorates in [[mathematics]], [[engineering]], and [[physics]]; a serious shortage with a great demand and an under-supply of highly trained manpower. We can and must step up the development of our natural resources. '''But the most direct and significant kind of Federal action aiding economic growth is to make possible an increase in private consumption and investment demand--to cut the fetters which hold back private spending. In the past, this could be done in part by the increased use of credit and monetary tools, but our balance of payments situation today places limits on our use of those tools for expansion. It could also be done by increasing Federal expenditures more rapidly than necessary, but such a course would soon demoralize both the Government and our economy. If Government is to retain the confidence of the people, it must not spend more than can be justified on grounds of national need or spent with maximum efficiency.'''
* '''The final and best means of strengthening demand among consumers and business is to reduce the burden on private income and the deterrents to private initiative which are imposed by our present [[Taxation in the United States|tax system]]'''; and this administration pledged itself last summer to an across-the-board, top-to-bottom cut in personal and corporate income taxes to be enacted and become effective in 1963.
* I am talking about the accumulated evidence of the last 5 years that our present tax system, developed as it was, in good part, during [[World War II]] to restrain growth, exerts too heavy a drag on growth in peace time; that it siphons out of the private economy too large a share of personal and business purchasing power; that it reduces the financial incentives for personal effort, investment, and risk-taking. '''In short, to increase demand and lift the economy, the Federal Government's most useful role is not to rush into a program of excessive increases in public expenditures, but to expand the incentives and opportunities for private expenditures. [...] While rising demand will expand imports, new investment in more efficient productive facilities will aid exports and a new economic climate could both draw capital from abroad and keep capital here at home.'''
* '''Too large a tax cut, of course, could result in [[inflation]] and insufficient future revenues--but the greatest danger is a tax cut too little or too late to be effective.'''
* '''When [[Consumption (economics)|consumers]] purchase more goods, plants use more of their capacity, men are hired instead of laid off, [[investment]] increases and [[Profit|profits]] are high.'''
* '''[[w:Corporate tax|Corporate tax]] rates must also be cut to increase incentives and the availability of investment capital.''' The Government has already taken major steps this year to reduce business tax liability and to stimulate the modernization, replacement, and expansion of our productive plant and equipment. [...] For all these reasons, next year's '''tax bill should reduce personal as well as corporate income taxes, for those in the lower brackets, who are certain to spend their additional take-home pay, and for those in the middle and upper brackets, who can thereby be encouraged to undertake additional efforts and enabled to invest more capital.'''
* Third, '''the new tax bill should improve both the equity and the simplicity of our present tax system. This means the enactment of long-needed tax reforms, a broadening of the tax base and the elimination or modification of many special tax privileges. These steps are not only needed to recover lost revenue and thus make possible a larger cut in present rates; they are also tied directly to our goal of greater growth. For the present patchwork of special provisions and preferences lightens the tax load of some only at the cost of placing a heavier burden on others. It distorts economic judgments and channels an undue amount of energy into efforts to avoid tax liabilities. It makes certain types of less productive activity more profitable than other more valuable undertakings. All this inhibits our growth and efficiency, as well as considerably complicating the work of both the taxpayer and the [[IRS|Internal Revenue Service]]. These various exclusions and concessions have been justified in part as a means of overcoming oppressively high rates in the upper brackets--and a sharp reduction in those rates, accompanied by base-broadening, loophole-closing measures, would properly make the new rates not only lower but also more widely applicable. Surely this is more equitable on both counts.'''
* I am confident that '''the enactment of the right bill''' next year '''will in due course increase our gross national product by several times the amount of taxes actually cut. Profit margins will be improved and both the incentive to invest and the supply of internal funds for investment will be increased. There will be new interest in taking risks, in increasing productivity, in creating new jobs and new products for long-term economic growth. Other national problems, moreover, will be aided by full employment. It will encourage the location of new plants in areas of labor surplus and provide new jobs for workers that we are retraining and facilitate the adjustment which will be necessary under our new trade expansion bill and reduce a number of government expenditures.'''
* '''If the [[Economy of the United States|economy]] today were operating close to capacity levels with little [[unemployment]], or if a sudden change in our military requirements should cause a scramble for men and resources, then I would oppose tax reductions as irresponsible and inflationary; and I would not hesitate to recommend a tax increase, if that were necessary.''' But our resources and manpower are not being fully utilized; the general level of [[Price|prices]] has been remarkably stable; and increased [[competition]], both at home and abroad, along with increased productivity will help keep both prices and wages within appropriate limits.
* When I announced in April of 1961 that this kind of comprehensive tax reform would follow the bill enacted this year, I had hoped to present it in an atmosphere of a balanced budget. But '''it has been necessary to augment sharply our nuclear and conventional forces, to step up our efforts in space, to meet the increased cost of servicing the [[national debt]] and meeting our obligations, established by law, to veterans. These expenditure increases, let me stress, constitute practically all of the increases which have occurred under this administration, the remainder having gone to fight the [[recession]] we found in [[industry]]--mostly through the supplemental employment bill-and in agriculture. We shall, therefore, neither postpone our tax cut plans nor cut into essential national security programs. This administration is determined to protect America's security and survival and we are also determined to step up its economic growth. I think we must do both.'''
* '''Our true choice is not between tax reduction, on the one hand, and the avoidance of large Federal deficits on the other. It is increasingly clear that no matter what party is in power, so long as our national security needs keep rising, an economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenue to balance our budget just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits.''' Surely the lesson of the last decade is that budget deficits are not caused by wild-eyed spenders but by slow economic growth and periodic [[Recession|recessions]], and any new recession would break all deficit records. In short, '''it is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now.''' The experience of a number of [[Europe|European]] countries and [[Japan]] have borne this out. This country's own experience with tax reduction in 1954 has borne this out. '''And the reason is that only [[w:Full employment|full employment]] can balance the budget, and tax reduction can pave the way to that employment. The purpose of cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy which can bring a budget surplus.'''
* I repeat: '''our practical choice is not between a tax-cut deficit and a budgetary surplus. It is between two kinds of deficits: a chronic deficit of inertia, as the unwanted result of inadequate revenues and a restricted economy; or a temporary deficit of transition, resulting from a tax cut designed to boost the economy, increase tax revenues, and achieve'''--and I believe this can be done--'''a budget surplus. The first type of deficit is a sign of waste and weakness; the second reflects an investment in the future.'''
* I do not underestimate the obstacles which the Congress will face in enacting such legislation. No one will be satisfied. Everyone will have his own approach, his own bill, his own reduction. '''A high order of restraint and determination will be required if the possible is not to wait on the perfect. But a nation capable of marshaling these qualities in any dramatic threat to its security is surely capable, as a great free society, of meeting a slower and more complex threat to our economic vitality. This Nation can afford to reduce taxes, we can afford a temporary deficit, but we cannot afford to do nothing. For on the strength of our free economy rests the hope of all free nations. We shall not fail that hope, for free men and free nations must prosper and they must prevail.'''
* '''When I was a Congressman I never realized how important Congress was, but now I do.'''
* Well, '''the purpose of reform really is directed to the encouraging of growth and employment.''' I quite agree that to launch into a full scale battle on general reform for academic reasons would be unwise. '''The central purpose behind the reform must therefore be to encourage those changes in our tax laws which will encourage economic growth for that purpose, and not merely because it might have some longer range interest or significance. The primary job will be to encourage the flow of capital into those areas which stimulate the national growth and not diminish it. But it is going to be a tough fight, because once you spell out''', as I said before, '''reform, it's bound to affect adversely the interests of some, while favoring the interests of others. Therefore reform may be a longer task, and we are anxious that in the effort to get reform, that we do not lose the very important matter of tax reduction for the sake of the economy.'''
* So that as I tried to say in my speech, '''we are not faced with the question of balancing our budget, or having a tax reduction. I believe we are faced with the fact that we are going to have a deficit mostly because of the sharp rise in the recent years in space and defense, and to increase our taxes sufficient to bring that budget into balance would be defeating, because of course it would provide a heavy deflationary effect on our economy, and move us into a recession at an accelerated rate.'''
* I want to point out that we have increased in conventional forces in the last 2 years the number of our divisions from 11 to 16, and we are also providing equipment for 22 divisions in case it were necessary to mobilize our Guard. We have six divisions in Europe, and we have the equipment for two more. Now, '''I think the Cuban incident indicated the importance of a strong conventional force. The greatest factor on our side was the fact that we had superior conventional strength on the scene, and it would have been necessary to equalize that strength for the Soviets to initiate the use of [[nuclear weapons]], which of course they were quite reluctant to do.'''
* But I must say I am reminded of Mr. [[Robert Frost]]'s motto about '''not taking down a fence until you know why it is put up, and this is a method by which the United States maintains a position of influence and control around the world, and sustains a good many countries which would definitely collapse or pass into the Communist bloc.'''

*The dangers in the proliferation of national nuclear weapons systems are so obvious that I am sure I need not repeat them here.<br>It is because of our preoccupation with this problem that my Government has sought to arrange with you for periodic visits to Dimona. When we spoke together in May 1961 '''you said that we might make whatever use we wished of the information resulting from the first visit of American scientists to Dimona and that you would agree to further visits''' by neutrals as well.

I cannot imagine that the [[Arabs]] would refrain from turning to the Soviet Union for assistance if Israel were to develop a nuclear weapons capability--with all the consequences this would hold. But the problem is much larger than its impact on the [[Middle East]]. Development of a nuclear weapons capability by Israel would almost certainly lead other larger countries, that have so far refrained from such development, to feel that they must follow suit.<br>I can well appreciate your concern for developments in the [[w:United_Arab_Republic|UAR]]. '''But I see no present or imminent nuclear threat to Israel from there.''' I am assured that our [[Espionage|intelligence]] on this question is good and that the [[Egypt|Egyptians]] do not presently have any installation comparable to Dimona, nor any facilities potentially capable of nuclear weapons production. But, of course, if you have information that would support a contrary conclusion, I should like to receive it from you through Ambassador Barbour. '''We have the capacity to check it.'''

* I think when we talk about corporal punishment, and we have to think about our own children, and we are rather reluctant, it seems to me, to have other people administering punishment to our own children, because we are reluctant, it puts a special obligation on us to maintain order and to send children out from our homes who accept the idea of discipline.

** [http://www.jfklibrary.org/Research/Research-Aids/Ready-Reference/JFK-Quotations.aspx According to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum] President Kennedy got his facts wrong. Dante never made this statement. The closest to what President Kennedy meant is in the Inferno where the souls in the ante-room of hell, who "lived without disgrace and without praise," and the coward angels, who did not rebel but did not resist the cohorts of Lucifer, are condemned to being whirled through the air by great winds while being stung by wasps and horseflies. Dante placed those who "non furon ribelli né fur fedeli" — were neither for nor against God, in a special region near the mouth of [[Hell]]; the lowest part of Hell, a lake of ice, was for traitors. [https://web.archive.org/web/20201213100425/https://www.jfklibrary.org/learn/about-jfk/life-of-john-f-kennedy/fast-facts-john-f-kennedy/john-f-kennedys-favorite-quotations-dantes-inferno According to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum in the undated article "John F. Kennedy's Favorite Quotations: Dante's Inferno"] President Kennedy's quote was based upon an interpretation of Dante's ''Inferno''. As ''Robert Kennedy explained'' in 1964, "President Kennedy's favorite quote was really from Dante, 'The hottest places in [[Hell]] are reserved for those who in time of moral crisis preserve their neutrality.'" This supposed quotation is not actually in Dante's work, but is based upon a similar one. In the ''Inferno'', [[Dante]] and his guide [[Virgil]], on their way to Hell, pass by a group of dead souls outside the entrance to Hell. These individuals, when alive, remained neutral at a time of great moral decision. Virgil explains to Dante that these souls cannot enter either Heaven or Hell because they did not choose one side or another. They are therefore worse than the greatest sinners in Hell because they are repugnant to both God and Satan alike, and have been left to mourn their fate as insignificant beings neither hailed nor cursed in life or death, endlessly travailing below Heaven but outside of Hell. This scene occurs in the third canto of the ''Inferno''. [http://www.bartleby.com/73/1211.html According to Bartleby.com] Kennedy's remark may have been inspired by the passage from Dante Alighieri's [[The Divine Comedy|La Comedia Divina]] “Inferno,” canto 3, lines 35–42 (1972) passage as translated by Geoffrey L. Bickersteth: "by those disbodied wretches who were loth when living, to be either blamed or praised. [...] Fear to lose beauty caused the heavens to expel these caitiffs; nor, lest to the damned they theng ave cause to boast, receives them the deep hell." A more modern-sounding translation from the foregoing Dante's Inferno passage was translataed 1971 by Mark Musa thus: “They are mixed with that repulsive choir of angels … undecided in neutrality. Heaven, to keep its beauty, cast them out, but even Hell itself would not receive them for fear the wicked there might glory over them.”
* There are those who regard this history of past strife and exile as better forgotten.

* Five score years ago the ground on which we here stand shuddered under the clash of arms and was consecrated for all time by the blood of American manhood. [[Abraham Lincoln]], [[Abraham Lincoln#The_Gettysburg_Address_.281863.29|in dedicating this great battlefield, has expressed, in words too eloquent for paraphrase or summary, why this sacrifice was necessary.]] Today, we meet not to add to his words nor to amend his sentiment but to recapture the feeling of awe that comes when contemplating a memorial to so many who placed their lives at hazard for right, as God gave them to see right. Among those who fought here were young men who but a short time before were pursuing truth in the peaceful halls of the then new [[University of Notre Dame]]. Since that time men of Notre Dame have proven, on a hundred battlefields, that the words, "For God, For Country, and For Notre Dame," are full of meaning. Let us pray that God may grant us the wisdom to find and to follow a path that will enable the men of Notre Dame and all of our young men to seek truth in the halls of study rather than on the field of battle."

If the economy of the United States is moving ahead, the economy of the South moves ahead. You are a great agricultural section in this [[North Carolina|State of North Carolina]]; you are also a great textile center. So are we in Massachusetts. When the economy is at a low level, marginal industries, of which textiles is almost one, particularly suffer. So if the economy of the country is moving ahead, with the resources, with more effective transportation, the South will move ahead, too. If the country is slowing down, then the South will slow down. So may I say that the fate of the North and the South and the east and the west are inextricably bound together. If one moves ahead, they all will move ahead.

* Little more than 100 weeks ago I assumed the office of President of the United States. '''In seeking the help of the Congress and our countrymen, I pledged no easy answers. I pledged — and asked — only toil and dedication. These the Congress and the people have given in good measure.'''
* In short, both at home and abroad, there may now be a temptation to relax. For '''the road has been long, the burden heavy, and the pace consistently urgent. But we cannot be satisfied to rest here. This is the side of the hill, not the top. The mere absence of war is not peace. The mere absence of recession is not growth. We have made a beginning — but we have only begun. Now the time has come to make the most of our gains''' — to translate the renewal of our national strength into the achievement of our national purpose.
* I am convinced that the enactment this year of tax reduction and tax reform overshadows all other domestic problems in this Congress. For we cannot for long lead the cause of peace and freedom, if we ever cease to set the pace here at home. For '''we cannot for long lead the cause of peace and freedom, if we ever cease to set the pace here at home.'''
* '''This country cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor.'''
* '''The future of any country which is dependent upon the will and wisdom of its citizens is damaged, and irreparably damaged, whenever any of its children is not educated to the full extent of his talent''', from grade school through [https://madchemclasses.online/ graduate school].
* '''As the idealism of our youth has served world peace, so can it serve the domestic tranquility.'''
* These are not domestic concerns alone. For '''upon our achievement of greater vitality and strength here at home hang our fate and future in the world''': our ability to sustain and supply the security of free men and nations, our ability to command their respect for our leadership, our ability to expand our trade without threat to our balance of payments, and our ability to adjust to the changing demands of cold war competition and challenge. '''We shall be judged more by what we do at home than by what we preach abroad.''' Nothing we could do to help the developing countries would help them half as much as a booming U.S. economy. And nothing our opponents could do to encourage their own ambitions would encourage them half as much as a chronic lagging U.S. economy. These domestic tasks do not divert energy from our security — they provide the very foundation for freedom's survival and success.
* But '''complacency or self-congratulation can imperil our security as much as the weapons of tyranny. A moment of pause is not a promise of peace.'''
* For '''the road to world peace and freedom is still long, and there are burdens which only full partners can share — in supporting the common defense, in expanding world trade''', in aligning our balance of payments, in aiding the emergent nations, '''in concerting political and economic policies''', and in welcoming to our common effort other industrialized nations, notably Japan, whose remarkable economic and political development of the 1950's permits it now to play on the world scene a major constructive role.
* For '''the unity of freedom has never relied on uniformity of opinion.'''
* '''While we shall never weary in the defense of freedom, neither shall we ever abandon the pursuit of peace.'''
* For '''we seek not the worldwide victory of one nation or system but a worldwide victory of man. The modern globe is too small, its weapons are too destructive, and its disorders are too contagious to permit any other kind of victory.'''

But this Nation was not founded solely on the principle of citizens' rights. Equally important, though too often not discussed, is the citizen's responsibility. For '''our privileges can be no greater than our obligations. The protection of our rights can endure no longer than the performance of our responsibilities. Each can be neglected only at the peril of the other. I speak to you today, therefore, not of your rights as Americans, but of your responsibilities. They are many in number and different in nature. They do not rest with equal weight upon the shoulders of all. Equality of opportunity does not mean equality of responsibility. All Americans must be responsible citizens, but some must be more responsible than others, by virtue of their public or their private position, their role in the family or community, their prospects for the future, or their legacy from the past. Increased responsibility goes with increased ability, for "[[s:Bible_(King_James)/Luke#Chapter_12|of those to whom much is given, much is required.]]"'''
* You have responsibilities, in short, to use your talents for the benefit of the society which helped develop those talents. You must decide, as [[Goethe]] put it, whether you will be an anvil or a hammer, whether you will give to the world in which you were reared and educated the broadest possible benefits of that education. '''Of the many special obligations incumbent upon an educated citizen, I would cite three as outstanding: your obligation to the pursuit of learning, your obligation to serve the public, your obligation to uphold the law.'''
* '''If the pursuit of learning is not defended by the educated citizen, it will not be defended at all.''' For there will always be those who scoff at intellectuals, who cry out against research, who seek to limit our educational system. Modern cynics and skeptics see no more reason for landing a man on the moon, which we shall do, than the cynics and skeptics of half a millennium ago saw for the discovery of this country. They see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing. </br> But the educated citizen knows how much more there is to know. He knows that "knowledge is power," more so today than ever before. He knows that '''only an educated and informed people will be a free people''', that '''the ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all''', and that '''if we can, as [[Thomas Jefferson|Jefferson]] put it, "enlighten the people generally … tyranny and the oppressions of mind and body will vanish, like evil spirits at the dawn of day." And, therefore, the educated citizen has a special obligation to encourage the pursuit of learning, to promote exploration of the unknown, to preserve the freedom of inquiry, to support the advancement of research, and to assist at every level of government the improvement of education for all Americans, from grade school to graduate school.'''
* Secondly, the educated citizen has an obligation to serve the public. He may be a precinct worker or President. He may give his talents at the courthouse, the State house, the White House. He may be a civil servant or a Senator, a candidate or a campaign worker, a winner or a loser. But he must be a participant and not a spectator. "At the [[Olympic Games|Olympic games]]," [[Aristotle]] wrote, "it is not the finest and strongest men who are crowned, but they who enter the lists-for out of these the prize-men are elected. So, too, in life, of the honorable and the good, it is they who act who rightly win the prizes."
* I urge all of you today, especially those who are students, to act, to enter the lists of public service and rightly win or lose the prize. For we can have only one form of aristocracy in this country, as Jefferson wrote long ago in rejecting [[John Adams]]' suggestion of an artificial [[aristocracy]] of wealth and birth. It is, he wrote, the natural aristocracy of character and talent, and the best form of government, he added, was that which selected these men for positions of responsibility.
* I would hope that all educated citizens would fulfill this obligation — in politics, in Government, here in Nashville, here in this State, in the [[w:United States Peace Corps|Peace Corps]], in the Foreign Service, in the Government Service, in the Tennessee Valley, in the world. You will find the pressures greater than the pay. You may endure more public attacks than support. But you will have the unequaled satisfaction of knowing that your character and talent are contributing to the direction and success of this free society.
* '''Third, and finally, the educated citizen has an obligation to uphold the law.''' This is the obligation of every citizen in a free and peaceful society — but the educated citizen has a special responsibility by the virtue of his greater understanding. For whether he has ever studied history or current events, ethics or civics, the rules of a profession or the tools of a trade, he knows that '''only a respect for the law makes it possible for free men to dwell together in peace and progress.'''
* He knows that '''law is the adhesive force in the cement of society, creating order out of chaos and coherence in place of anarchy.''' He knows that for one man to defy a law or court order he does not like is to invite others to defy those which they do not like, leading to a breakdown of all justice and all order. He knows, too, that '''every fellowman is entitled to be regarded with decency and treated with dignity. Any educated citizen who seeks to subvert the law, to suppress freedom, or to subject other human beings to acts that are less than human, degrades his heritage, ignores his learning, and betrays his obligation.'''
* Certain '''other societies may respect the rule of force — we respect the rule of law.'''
* Ninety years from now I have no doubt that [[w:Vanderbilt University|Vanderbilt University]] will still be fulfilling this mission. It will still uphold learning, encourage public service, and teach respect for the law. It will neither turn its back on proven wisdom or turn its face from newborn challenge. It will still pass on to the youth of our land the full meaning of their rights and their responsibilities. And it will still be teaching the truth — the '''truth''' that '''makes us free and will keep us free.'''
==== [[w:John F. Kennedy#American_University_speech|American University speech]] ====
:<small> [http://www.jfklibrary.org/Asset-Viewer/BWC7I4C9QUmLG9J6I8oy8w.aspx Commencement Address at American University (10 June 1963)]; also entitled “Strategy of Peace”, is considered one of Kennedy’s most powerful speeches, in which Kennedy laid out a hopeful, yet realistic route for world peace at a time when the U.S. and [[w:Soviet Union|Soviet Union]] faced the potential for an escalating nuclear arms race. Kennedy addressed American University graduates mere months after the fierce standoff over the [[w:Cuban Missile Crisis|Cuban Missile Crisis]]. At the time of his speech world powers were gathered in Geneva to discuss complete nuclear disarmament. In his speech the President asks the graduates to re-examine their attitudes towards [[peace]], the Soviet Union, and the [[w:Cold War|Cold War]], famously remarking, "If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can make the world safe for diversity." The President also announces that he, Soviet Premier [[Nikita Khrushchev]], and British Prime Minister [[Harold Macmillan]] have agreed to hold discussions concerning a comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty. Finally, he explains that the United States will not conduct atmospheric nuclear tests on the condition that other countries uphold this same promise.</small>

[[File:President Kennedy American University Commencement Address June 10, 1963.jpg|thumb|No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue.]]
[[File:Castle Romeo.jpg|thumb|Nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war.

[[File:Children living next to Daurra Oil Refinery in Iraq.jpg|thumb|Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.]]
* I have, therefore, chosen this time and this place to discuss a topic on which ignorance too often abounds and the truth is too rarely perceived — yet it is the most important topic on earth: world peace. What kind of peace do I mean? '''What kind of peace do we seek? Not a [[w:Pax Americana|Pax Americana]] enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children — not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women — not merely peace in our time but peace for all time.'''
* I speak of peace because of the new face of war. Total war makes no sense in an age when great powers can maintain large and relatively invulnerable nuclear forces and refuse to surrender without resort to those forces. It makes no sense in an age when a single nuclear weapon contains almost ten times the explosive force delivered by all the allied air forces in the [[World War II|Second World War]]. It makes no sense in an age when the deadly poisons produced by a nuclear exchange would be carried by wind and water and soil and seed to the far corners of the globe and to generations yet unborn. '''Today the expenditure of billions of dollars every year on weapons acquired for the purpose of making sure we never need to use them is essential to keeping the peace. But surely the acquisition of such idle stockpiles — which can only destroy and never create — is not the only, much less the most efficient, means of assuring peace. I speak of peace''', therefore, '''as the necessary rational end of rational men. I realize that the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as the pursuit of war — and frequently the words of the pursuer fall on deaf ears. But we have no more urgent task.'''
* '''Some say that it is useless to speak of world peace or world law or world disarmament — and that it will be useless until the leaders of the Soviet Union adopt a more enlightened attitude. I hope they do. I believe we can help them do it. But I also believe that we must reexamine our own attitude — as individuals and as a Nation — for our attitude is as essential as theirs.''' And every graduate of this school, '''every thoughtful citizen who despairs of war and wishes to bring peace, should begin by looking inward — by examining his own attitude toward the possibilities of peace, toward the Soviet Union, toward the course of the cold war and toward freedom and peace here at home.'''
* '''Let us examine our attitude toward peace itself. Too many of us think it is impossible. Too many think it unreal. But that is a dangerous, defeatist belief. It leads to the conclusion that war is inevitable — that mankind is doomed — that we are gripped by forces we cannot control.''' We need not accept that view. '''Our problems are manmade — therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.''' Man's reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable — and we believe they can do it again.
* '''I am not referring to the absolute, infinite concept of peace and good will of which some fantasies and fanatics dream. I do not deny the value of hopes and dreams but we merely invite discouragement and incredulity by making that our only and immediate goal. Let us focus instead on a more practical, more attainable peace — based not on a sudden revolution in human nature but on a gradual evolution in human institutions — on a series of concrete actions and effective agreements which are in the interest of all concerned.''' There is no single, simple key to this peace — no grand or magic formula to be adopted by one or two powers. '''Genuine peace must be the product of many nations, the sum of many acts. It must be dynamic, not static, changing to meet the challenge of each new generation. For peace is a process — a way of solving problems'''.
** Kennedy's "focus on a more practical, more attainable peace, based not on a sudden revolution in human nature but on a gradual evolution of human institutions." was quoted by [[Barack Obama]] in his [[Barack Obama#Nobel_Prize_acceptance_speech|Nobel Prize acceptance speech]].
* '''World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor — it requires only that they live together in mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement.''' And history teaches us that enmities between nations, as between individuals, do not last forever. However fixed our likes and dislikes may seem, the tide of time and events will often bring surprising changes in the relations between nations and neighbors.
* '''Peace need not be impracticable, and war need not be inevitable. By defining our goal more clearly, by making it seem more manageable and less remote, we can help all peoples to see it, to draw hope from it, and to move irresistibly toward it.'''
* '''No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue.'''
* In short, both the United States and its allies, and the Soviet Union and its allies, have a mutually deep interest in a just and genuine peace and in halting the arms race. Agreements to this end are in the interests of the Soviet Union as well as ours — and even the most hostile nations can be relied upon to accept and keep those treaty obligations, and only those treaty obligations, which are in their own interest. So, '''let us not be blind to our differences — but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.'''
* Let us reexamine our attitude toward the cold war, remembering that we are not engaged in a debate, seeking to pile up debating points. We are not here distributing blame or pointing the finger of judgment. '''We must deal with the world as it is, and not as it might have been had the history of the last 18 years been different.''' We must, therefore, persevere in the search for peace in the hope that constructive changes within the Communist bloc might bring within reach solutions which now seem beyond us. We must conduct our affairs in such a way that it becomes in the Communists' interest to agree on a genuine peace. Above all, while defending our own vital interests, '''nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a [[nuclear war]]. To adopt that kind of course in the nuclear age would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy — or of a collective death-wish for the world.''' To secure these ends, America's weapons are nonprovocative, carefully controlled, designed to deter, and capable of selective use. Our military forces are committed to peace and disciplined in self- restraint. Our diplomats are instructed to avoid unnecessary irritants and purely rhetorical hostility. For '''we can seek a relaxation of tension without relaxing our guard.''' And, for our part, '''we do not need to use threats to prove that we are resolute.''' We do not need to jam foreign broadcasts out of fear our faith will be eroded. '''We are unwilling to impose our system on any unwilling people — but we are willing and able to engage in peaceful competition with any people on earth.'''
* The [[Communist]] drive to impose their political and economic system on others is the primary cause of world tension today. For '''there can be no doubt that, if all nations could refrain from interfering in the self-determination of others, the peace would be much more assured.'''
* The one major area of these negotiations where the end is in sight, yet where a fresh start is badly needed, is in a treaty to outlaw nuclear tests. The conclusion of such a treaty, so near and yet so far, would check the spiraling arms race in one of its most dangerous areas. It would place the nuclear powers in a position to deal more effectively with one of the greatest hazards which man faces in 1963, the further spread of nuclear arms. It would increase our security — it would decrease the prospects of war. Surely this goal is sufficiently important to require our steady pursuit, yielding neither to the temptation to give up the whole effort nor the temptation to give up our insistence on vital and responsible safeguards.
* Finally, my fellow Americans, '''let us examine our attitude toward peace and freedom here at home. The quality and spirit of our own society must justify and support our efforts abroad.''' We must show it in the dedication of our own lives--as many of you who are graduating today will have a unique opportunity to do, by serving without pay in the Peace Corps abroad or in the proposed National Service Corps here at home. But '''wherever we are, we must all, in our daily lives, live up to the age-old faith that peace and freedom walk together. In too many of our cities today, the peace is not secure because the freedom is incomplete. It is the responsibility of the executive branch at all levels of government--local, State, and National--to provide and protect that freedom for all of our citizens by all means within their authority. It is the responsibility of the legislative branch at all levels, wherever that authority is not now adequate, to make it adequate. And it is the responsibility of all citizens in all sections of this country to respect the rights of all others and to respect the law of the land. All this is not unrelated to world peace. [[s:https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(King_James)/Proverbs#Chapter_16|"When a man's ways please the Lord," the Scriptures tell us, "he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him."]]'''
* '''And is not peace, in the last analysis, basically a matter of human rights — the right to live out our lives without fear of devastation — the right to breathe air as nature provided it — the right of future generations to a [https://www.pumpernickel-online.co.uk/ healthy] existence?'''
* '''While we proceed to safeguard our national interests, let us also safeguard human interests. And the elimination of war and arms is clearly in the interest of both.'''
* '''No treaty, however much it may be to the advantage of all, however tightly it may be worded, can provide absolute security against the risks of deception and evasion. But it can — if it is sufficiently effective in its enforcement and if it is sufficiently in the interests of its signers — offer far more security and far fewer risks than an unabated, uncontrolled, unpredictable arms race.'''
* '''The United States, as the world knows, will never start a war. We do not want a war. We do not now expect a war. This generation of Americans has already had enough — more than enough — of war and hate and oppression. We shall be prepared if others wish it. We shall be alert to try to stop it. But we shall also do our part to build a world of peace where the weak are safe and the strong are just. We are not helpless before that task or hopeless of its success. Confident and unafraid, we labor on — not toward a strategy of annihilation but toward a strategy of peace.'''

:<small> The [[s:Civil Rights Message|Civil Rights Address]] delivered on radio and television from the Oval Office (11 June 1963) in which he proposed legislation which developed into the [[w:Civil Rights Act of 1964|Civil Rights Act of 1964]]. He responds to the threats of violence and obstruction on the [[w:University of Alabama|University of Alabama]] campus following [[w:Desegregation|desegregation attempts]], explaining that the United States was founded on the principle that all men are created equal and thus, all American students are entitled to attend public educational institutions, regardless of race. He also discusses how discrimination affects education, public safety, and international relations, noting that the country cannot preach freedom internationally while ignoring it domestically. The President asks Congress to enact legislation protecting all Americans' voting rights, legal standing, educational opportunities, and access to public facilities, but recognizes that legislation alone cannot solve the country's problems concerning race relations.</small>
[[File:Writing the Declaration of Independence 1776 cph.3g09904.jpg|thumb|This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.]]
[[File:March_on_Washington_edit.jpg|thumb|A great change is at hand, and our task, our obligation, is to make that revolution, that change, peaceful and constructive for all.]]
[[File:President Kennedy addresses nation on Civil Rights, 11 June 1963.jpg|thumb|This Nation, for all its hopes and all its boasts, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free.]]
* '''This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.'''
* Today we are committed to a worldwide struggle to promote and protect the rights of all who wish to be free. And when Americans are sent to Vietnam or West Berlin, we do not ask for whites only. It ought to be possible, therefore, for American students of any color to attend any public institution they select without having to be backed up by troops.
* It ought to be possible for American consumers of any color to receive equal service in places of public accommodation, such as hotels and restaurants and theaters and retail stores, without being forced to resort to demonstrations in the street, and it ought to be possible for American citizens of any color to register and to vote in a free election without interference or fear of reprisal. It ought to be possible, in short, for every American to enjoy the privileges of being American without regard to his race or his color. In short, every American ought to have the right to be treated as he would wish to be treated, as one would wish his children to be treated. But this is not the case.
* This is not a sectional issue. Difficulties over segregation and discrimination exist in every city, in every State of the Union, producing in many cities a rising tide of discontent that threatens the public safety. Nor is this a partisan issue. '''In a time of domestic crisis men of good will and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics.''' This is not even a legal or legislative issue alone. It is better to settle these matters in the courts than on the streets, and new laws are needed at every level, but law alone cannot make men see right. We are confronted primarily with a moral issue. It is as old as the [[w:Religious text|scriptures]] and is as clear as the [[United States Constitution|American Constitution]].
* The heart of the question is whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities, whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated. If an American, because his skin is dark, cannot eat lunch in a restaurant open to the public, if he cannot send his children to the best public school available, if he cannot vote for the public officials who represent him, if, in short, he cannot enjoy the full and free life which all of us want, then who among us would be content to have the color of his skin changed and stand in his place? Who among us would then be content with the counsels of patience and delay?
* One hundred years of delay have passed since President Lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, their grandsons, are not fully free. They are not yet freed from the bonds of injustice. They are not yet freed from social and economic oppression. And '''this Nation, for all its hopes and all its boasts, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free.'''
* We preach freedom around the world, and we mean it, and we cherish our freedom here at home, but are we to say to the world, and much more importantly, to each other that this is a land of the free except for the Negroes; that we have no second-class citizens except Negroes; that we have no class or caste system, no ghettoes, no master race except with respect to Negroes?
* The fires of frustration and discord are burning in every city, North and South, where legal remedies are not at hand. Redress is sought in the streets, in demonstrations, parades, and protests which create tensions and threaten violence and threaten lives. We face, therefore, a moral crisis as a country and as a people. It cannot be met by repressive police action. It cannot be left to increased demonstrations in the streets. It cannot be quieted by token moves or talk. It is a time to act in the Congress, in your State and local legislative body and, above all, in all of our daily lives. '''It is not enough to pin the blame on others, to say this is a problem of one section of the country or another, or deplore the fact that we face. A great change is at hand, and our task, our obligation, is to make that revolution, that change, peaceful and constructive for all. Those who do nothing are inviting shame as well as violence. Those who act boldly are recognizing right as well as reality.'''
* '''This is one country. It has become one country because all of us and all the people who came here had an equal chance to develop their talents.''' We cannot say to 10 percent of the population that you can't have that right; that your children can't have the chance to develop whatever talents they have; that the only way that they are going to get their rights is to go into the streets and demonstrate. I think we owe them and we owe ourselves a better country than that. Therefore, I am asking for your help in making it easier for us to move ahead and to provide the kind of equality of treatment which we would want ourselves; to give a chance for every child to be educated to the limit of his talents. As I have said before, not every child has an equal talent or an equal ability or an equal motivation, but they should have the equal right to develop their talent and their ability and their motivation, to make something of themselves.
* We have a right to expect that the [[Negro]] community will be responsible, will uphold the law, but they have a right to expect that the law will be fair, that the Constitution will be [[Color blindness (racial classification)|color blind]], as [[John Marshall Harlan|Justice Harlan]] said at the turn of the century.

To realize this vision, '''we must seek a world of peace — a world in which peoples dwell together in mutual respect and work together in mutual regard — a world where peace is not a mere interlude between wars, but an incentive to the creative energies of humanity.''' We will not find such a peace today, or even tomorrow. The obstacles to hope are large and menacing. Yet the goal of a peaceful world — today and tomorrow-must shape our decisions and inspire our purposes. So we are all idealists. We are all visionaries.

We have come too far, we have sacrificed too much, to disdain the future now.

==== [[w:Ich bin ein Berliner|Ich bin ein Berliner]] speech ====
:<small>"[[s:Ich bin ein Berliner|Ich bin ein Berliner]]" address at 'Rathaus Schöneberg' in West-Berlin, Germany (26 June 1963); presented in the midst of a five-nation tour of Western Europe, Kennedy discusses his hopes for the reunification of Germany, and emphasizes the philosophical differences between capitalism and communism, noting, "Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free." In his remarks President Kennedy famously proclaims, "Ich bin ein Berliner."</small>
[[File:Winken ueber die Berliner Mauer.jpg|thumb|Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free.]]
[[File:JFK speech lch bin ein berliner 1.jpg|thumb|All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner."]]
* '''Two thousand years ago the proudest boast was "[[w:Civis romanus sum|civis Romanus sum]]." Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is "Ich bin ein Berliner."'''
* There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world. ''Let them come to Berlin.'' There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future. ''Let them come to Berlin.'' And there are some who say in Europe and elsewhere we can work with the Communists. ''Let them come to Berlin.'' And there are even a few who say that it is true that communism is an evil system, but it permits us to make economic progress. ''Lass' sie nach Berlin kommen. Let them come to Berlin.''
* '''[[Freedom]] has many difficulties and [[democracy]] is not perfect, but we have never had to put a [[w:Berlin Wall|wall]] up to keep our people in, to prevent them from leaving us.''' [...] While '''the wall is the most obvious and vivid demonstration of the failures of the Communist system''', for all the world to see, we take no satisfaction in it, for '''it is''', as [[Willy Brandt|your Mayor]] has said, '''an offense not only against history but an offense against humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives and brothers and sisters, and dividing a people who wish to be joined together.'''
* What is true of this city is true of Germany — real, lasting peace in Europe can never be assured as long as [[East Germany|one German out of four]] is denied the elementary right of free men, and that is to make a free choice. In 18 years of peace and good faith, this generation of [[Germans]] has earned the right to be free, including the right to unite their [[Family|families]] and their [[Nations|nation]] in lasting peace, with good will to all people. '''You live in a defended island of freedom, but your life is part of the main. So let me ask you as I close, to lift your eyes beyond the dangers of today, to the hopes of tomorrow, beyond the freedom merely of this city of Berlin, or your country of Germany, to the advance of freedom everywhere, beyond the wall to the day of peace with justice, beyond yourselves and ourselves to all mankind.'''
* '''Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free. When all are free, then we can look forward to that day when this city will be joined as one and this country and this great Continent of Europe in a peaceful and hopeful globe.''' When that day finally comes, as it will, the people of West Berlin can take sober satisfaction in the fact that they were in the front lines for almost two decades. <br/> '''All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner."'''

* '''Prince [[Bismarck]] once said that one-third of the students of German universities broke down from overwork; another third broke down from dissipation, and the other third ruled Germany.'''
* '''The duty of the scholar, of the educated man, of the man or woman whom society has developed talents in, the duty of that man or woman is to help build the society which has made their own advancement possible.'''
* '''The scholar, the teacher, the intellectual, have a higher duty than any of the others, for society has trained you to think as well as do.'''
* First, '''what does truth require? It requires us to face the facts as they are, not to involve ourselves in self-deception; to refuse to think merely in slogans.''' If we are to work for the future of the city, '''let us deal with the realities as they actually are, not as they might have been, and not as we wish they were.'''
* '''We must''' first '''bring others to see their own true interests better than they do today.'''
* Secondly, '''what does justice require? In the end, it requires liberty.'''
* This right of '''free choice''' is no special privilege claimed by the Germans alone. It '''is an elemental requirement of human [[justice]].'''
* '''The truth doesn't die. The desire for liberty cannot be fully suppressed.'''
* As I said this morning, I am not impressed by the opportunities open to popular fronts throughout the world. '''I do not believe that any democrat can successfully ride that tiger. But I do believe in the necessity of great powers working together to preserve the human race, or otherwise we can be destroyed.'''
* But '''life is never easy. There is work to be done and obligations to be met — obligations to truth, to justice, and to liberty.'''

The President emphasizes that while the treaty does not eliminate the threat of [[nuclear war]], a limited test ban is safer than an unlimited arms race.</small>

[[File:Kennedy Family with Dogs During a Weekend at Hyannisport 1963-crop.png|thumb|The loss of even one human life [...] should be of concern to us all. Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics toward which we can be indifferent.]]
* [[w:Trinity (nuclear test)|Eighteen years ago the advent of nuclear weapons]] [[w:History of nuclear weapons|changed the course of the world as well as the war]]. Since that time, all mankind has been struggling to escape from the darkening prospect of mass destruction on earth. In an age when both sides have come to possess enough [[nuclear power]] to destroy the human race several times over, the world of communism and the world of free choice have been caught up in a vicious circle of conflicting ideology and interest. Each increase of tension has produced an increase of arms; each increase of arms has produced an increase of tension.
* Yesterday a shaft of light cut into the darkness. Negotiations were concluded in Moscow on a treaty to ban all nuclear tests in the atmosphere, in outer space, and under water. For the first time, an agreement has been reached on bringing the forces of nuclear destruction under international control-a goal first sought in 1946 when [[Bernard Baruch]] presented [[w:Baruch Plan|a comprehensive control plan to the United Nations]].
* '''I do not say that a world without aggression or threats of [[war]] would be an easy world. It will bring new problems, new challenges from the Communists, new dangers of relaxing our vigilance or of mistaking their intent. But those dangers pale in comparison to those of the spiraling arms race and a collision course towards war. Since the beginning of history, war has been mankind's constant companion.''' It has been the rule, not the exception. Even a nation as young and as peace-loving as our own has fought through eight wars.
* '''A [[war]] today or tomorrow, if it led to [[nuclear war]], would not be like any war in history.''' A full-scale nuclear exchange, lasting less than 60 minutes, with the weapons now in existence, could wipe out more than 300 million Americans, Europeans, and Russians, as well as untold numbers elsewhere. And '''the survivors''', as Chairman Khrushchev warned the [[Chinese Communist Party|Communist]] [[China|Chinese]], "the survivors would envy the dead." For they '''would inherit a world so devastated by explosions and poison and fire that today we cannot even conceive of its horrors. So let us try to turn the world away from war. Let us make the most of this opportunity, and every opportunity, to reduce tension, to slow down the perilous nuclear arms race, and to check the world's slide toward [[Global catastrophic risk|final annihilation]].'''
* '''Continued unrestricted testing by the nuclear powers, joined in time by other nations which may be less adept in limiting [[pollution]], will increasingly contaminate the [[air]] that all of us must breathe.''' Even then, '''the number of children and grandchildren with [[cancer]] in their [[Bone|bones]], with leukemia in their blood, or with [[poison]] in their lungs might seem statistically small to some, in comparison with natural health hazards. But this is not a natural health hazard — and it is not a statistical issue. The loss of even one human [[life]], or the malformation of even one [[Infant|baby]] — who may be born long after we are gone — should be of concern to us all. Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics toward which we can be indifferent.'''
* During the next several years, in addition to the four current nuclear powers, a small but significant number of nations will have the intellectual, physical, and financial resources to produce both [[nuclear weapons]] and the means of delivering them. In time, it is estimated, many other nations will have either this capacity or other ways of obtaining nuclear warheads, even as missiles can be commercially purchased today. '''I ask you to stop and think for a moment what it would mean to have [[nuclear weapons]] in so many hands, in the hands of countries large and small, stable and unstable, responsible and irresponsible, scattered throughout the world. There would be no rest for anyone then, no stability, no real security, and no chance of effective disarmament. There would only be the increased chance of accidental war, and an increased necessity for the great powers to involve themselves in what otherwise would be local conflicts.''' If only one thermonuclear bomb were to be dropped on any American, Russian, or any other city, whether it was launched by accident or design, by a madman or by an enemy, by a large nation or by a small, from any corner of the world, that one bomb could release more destructive power on the inhabitants of that one helpless city than all the bombs dropped in the Second World War.
* '''No one can be certain what the future will bring. No one can say whether the time has come for an easing of the struggle. But history and our own conscience will judge us harsher if we do not now make every effort to test our hopes by action. And this is the place to begin.'''
* '''According to the ancient [[Chinese proverbs|Chinese proverb]], "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." My fellow Americans, let us take that first step. Let us, if we can, step back from the shadows of war and seek out the way of peace. And if that journey is a thousand miles, or even more, let history record that we, in this land, at this time, took the first step.'''

:<small>[[s:Address to the United Nations General Assembly (Kennedy, 1963-09-20)|Address Before the 18th General Assembly of the United Nations]] (20 September 1963). In his speech the President discusses the recently signed treaty banning atmospheric nuclear weapons tests (later known as the Partial Test Ban Treaty or Limited Test Ban Treaty), remarking that peace may be attainable when two nations with incompatible ideologies negotiate with each other. The President famously asks, "Space offers no problems of sovereignty…Why, therefore, should man's first flight to the moon be a matter of national competition?" President Kennedy also explains that the task of maintaining peace and decreasing global tension must be shared by all nations. He proposes ways for the United Nations to increase and improve their efforts in developing countries, specifically [https://www.pumpernickel-online.co.uk/ focusing on health], human rights, agriculture, communication, and the environment.</small>
* The world has not escaped from the darkness. The long shadows of conflict and crisis envelop us still. But we meet today in an atmosphere of rising hope, and at a moment of comparative calm. My presence here today is not a sign of crisis, but of confidence. I am not here to report on a new threat to the peace or new signs of war. I have come to salute the [[United Nations]] and to show the support of the American people for your daily deliberations. For the value of this body's work is not dependent on the existence of emergencies — nor can the winning of peace consist only of dramatic victories. '''[[Peace]] is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures. And however undramatic the pursuit of peace, that pursuit must go on.'''
* '''The task of building the peace lies with the leaders of every nation, large and small. For the great powers have no monopoly on conflict or ambition.''' The cold war is not the only expression of tension in this world — and the nuclear race is not the only arms race. Even little wars are dangerous in a nuclear world. '''The long labor of peace is an undertaking for every nation — and in this effort none of us can remain unaligned. To this goal none can be uncommitted.'''
* Chronic disputes which divert precious resources from the needs of the people or drain the energies of both sides serve the interests of no one — and '''the badge of responsibility in the modern world is a willingness to seek peaceful solutions.'''
* I would say to the leaders of the [[w:Soviet Union|Soviet Union]], and to their people, that '''if either of our countries is to be fully secure, we need a much better weapon than the [[w:H-bomb|H-bomb]] — a weapon better than ballistic missiles or nuclear submarines — and that better weapon is peaceful cooperation.'''
* In these and other ways, '''let us move up the steep and difficult path toward comprehensive disarmament, securing mutual confidence through mutual verification, and building the institutions of peace as we dismantle the engines of war. We must not let failure to agree on all points delay agreements where agreement is possible. And we must not put forward proposals for propaganda purposes.'''
* Finally, in a field where the United States and the Soviet Union have a special capacity — in the field of space — there is room for new cooperation, for further joint efforts in the regulation and exploration of space. I include among these possibilities a joint expedition to the moon. '''Space offers no problems of sovereignty'''; by resolution of this Assembly, the members of the United Nations have foresworn any claim to territorial rights in outer space or on celestial bodies, and declared that international law and the United Nations Charter will apply. '''Why, therefore, should man's first flight to the moon be a matter of national competition?''' Why should the United States and the Soviet Union, in preparing for such expeditions, become involved in immense duplications of research, construction, and expenditure? Surely we should explore whether the scientists and astronauts of our two countries — indeed of all the world — cannot work together in the conquest of space, sending someday in this decade to the moon not the representatives of a single nation, but the representatives of all of our countries.
* The contest will continue — the contest between those who see a monolithic world and those who believe in diversity — but it should be a contest in leadership and responsibility instead of destruction, a contest in achievement instead of intimidation. Speaking for the United States of America, I welcome such a contest. For we believe that '''truth is stronger than error — and that freedom is more enduring than coercion.''' And in the contest for a better life, all the world can be a winner.
* '''The effort to improve the conditions of man, however, is not a task for the few. It is the task of all nations''' — acting alone, acting in groups, acting in the United Nations, '''for plague and pestilence, and plunder and pollution, the hazards of nature, and the hunger of children are the foes of every nation. The earth, the sea, and the air are the concern of every nation. And science, technology, and education can be the ally of every nation. Never before has man had such capacity to control his own environment, to end thirst and hunger, to conquer poverty and disease, to banish illiteracy and massive human misery. We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world — or to make it the last.'''
* New efforts are needed if this Assembly's [[w:Universal Declaration of Human Rights|Declaration of Human Rights]], now 15 years old, is to have full meaning. And new means should be found for promoting the free expression and trade of ideas — through travel and communication, and through increased exchanges of people, and books, and broadcasts. For as the world renounces the competition of weapons, competition in ideas must flourish — and that competition must be as full and as fair as possible.
* '''The [[United Nations]] cannot survive as a static organization.''' Its obligations are increasing as well as its size. Its Charter must be changed as well as its customs. The authors of that Charter did not intend that it be frozen in perpetuity. '''The science of weapons and war has made us all''', far more than 18 years ago in [[San Francisco]], '''one world and one human race, with one common destiny. In such a world, absolute sovereignty no longer assures us of absolute security. The conventions of peace must pull abreast and then ahead of the inventions of war. The United Nations, building on its successes and learning from its failures, must be developed into a genuine world security system.'''
* '''But peace does not rest in charters and covenants alone. It lies in the hearts and minds of all people. And if it is cast out there, then no act, no pact, no treaty, no organization can hope to preserve it without the support and the wholehearted commitment of all people. So let us not rest all our hopes on parchment and on paper; let us strive to build peace, a desire for peace, a willingness to work for peace, in the hearts and minds of all our people.''' I believe that we can. I believe '''the problems of human destiny are not beyond the reach of human beings.'''
* Two years ago I told this body that the United States had proposed, and was willing to sign, a limited test ban treaty. Today that treaty has been signed. It will not put an end to war. It will not remove basic conflicts. It will not secure freedom for all. But it can be a lever, and [[Archimedes]], in explaining the principles of the lever, was said to have declared to his friends: "Give me a place where I can stand — and I shall move the world." '''My fellow inhabitants of this planet: Let us take our stand here in [[w:United Nations General Assembly|this Assembly of nations]]. And let us see if we, in our own time, can move the world to a just and lasting peace.'''

* [[Otto von Bismarck|Prince Bismarck]], who was named after Bismarck, N. Dak., once said that one-third of the students of German universities broke down from overwork, another third broke down from dissipation, and the other third ruled Germany. I do not know which third of the student body of this school is here today, but I am confident I am talking to the future rulers of not only North Dakota, but the United States, in the sense that '''all educated citizens bear the burden of governing, as active participants in the democratic process.'''
* '''The fact of the matter is that in the field of [[Conservation|conservation]], every day that is lost is a valuable opportunity wasted. Every time, particularly in the East where they have such a massive concentration of population-every time an acre of land disappears into private development or exploitation, an acre of land which could be used for the people, we have lost a chance. We will never get it back.''' As you know, along the Atlantic Coast, nearly all of the sea, the beach, is owned by comparatively few people. We were able to set aside, a year ago, [[w:Cape Cod National Seashore|Cape Cod Park]], which is near to all of the people of New England. We are talking about doing the same now on the Delaware River. We are talking about doing the same in northern Indiana, near Gary. We have to seize these opportunities--we are talking about now doing the same in northern Wisconsin-'''we have to seize these opportunities to set aside these wilderness areas, these primitive areas, these fresh water areas, these lakes. We have to set them aside for the people who are going to come after us.'''
* '''[[Theodore Roosevelt]] once said that the White House is a great pulpit from which to preach, and I would like to preach not only [[The Strenuous Life: Essays and Addresses|the vigorous life]] which he preached for us physically, but also for us in our time, facing entirely different problems, to make the same wise, vigorous decisions which he made for the conservation of our natural resources so that you and your children can enjoy this great and rich country. Nature has been so generous to us that we have mistreated her. Now, when our country is becoming increasingly crowded, when science and technology wastes so much of what we have, we have to realize that time is running out for us.'''
* '''These are the problems which face this great democracy of ours. They cannot be solved by turning away, but can be solved, I believe, by the united, intelligent effort of us all.'''
* There is an old saying that '''things don't happen, they are made to happen. And we in our years have to make the same wise judgments about what policies will ensure us a growing prosperity as were made in the years before. The whole experience between two world wars, which was so tragic for this country, should tell us that we cannot leave it to mere chance and accident. It requires the long range judgment of all of us, the public judgment, not only the pursuit of our private interests but the public judgment of what it takes to keep''' 180 million '''people gradually rising. And anyone who thinks it can be done by accident and chance should look back on the history of 1919 to 1939 to know what can happen when we let natural forces operate completely freely.'''
* '''Unless the United States can demonstrate a sound and vigorous democratic life, a society which is not torn apart by friction and faction, an economy which is steadily growing-unless it can do all those things we cannot continue to bear the responsibilities of leadership which I think almost alone have prevented this world of ours from being overrun. The fact of the matter is that there are many things happening in the world which should serve to encourage us, as well as discourage us. [...] What we seek to advance, what we seek to develop in all of [[Higher education|our colleges and universities]], are educated men and women who can bear the burdens of responsible citizenship, who can make judgments about life as it is, and as it must be, and encourage the people to make those decisions which can bring not only prosperity and security, but happiness to the people of the United States and those who depend upon it.'''
* '''[[w:Hubert Lyautey|Marshal Lyautey]], who was the great French Marshal in [[North Africa]], was once talking to his gardener and he suggested that he plant a tree, and the gardener said, "Well, why plant it? It won't flower for 100 years." And Marshal Lyautey said, "In that case, plant it this afternoon." I think that is good advice for all of us.'''

* Many years ago, [[Woodrow Wilson]] said, what good is a political party unless it is serving a great national purpose? And '''what good is a private college or university unless it is serving a great national purpose?'''
* Privilege is here, and '''with privilege goes responsibility.'''
* '''There is inherited wealth in this country and also inherited poverty. And unless the graduates of this college and other colleges like it who are given a running start in life--unless they are willing to put back into our society, those talents, the broad sympathy, the understanding, the compassion--unless they are willing to put those qualities back into the service of the Great Republic, then obviously the presuppositions upon which our democracy are based are bound to be fallible.'''
* This day devoted to the memory of Robert Frost offers an opportunity for reflection which is prized by politicians as well as by others, and even by poets, for '''Robert Frost was one of the granite figures of our time in America. He was supremely two things: an artist and an American.''' A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers. In America, our heroes have customarily run to men of large accomplishments. But today this college and country honors '''a man whose contribution was not to our size but to our spirit, not to our political beliefs but to our insight, not to our self-esteem, but to our self- comprehension.''' In honoring Robert Frost, we therefore can pay honor to '''the deepest sources of our national strength. That strength takes many forms, and the most obvious forms are not always the most significant. The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the Nation's greatness, but the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable, especially when that questioning is disinterested, for they determine whether we use power or power uses us.'''
* '''Our national strength matters, but the spirit which informs and controls our strength matters just as much. This was the special significance of Robert Frost. He brought an unsparing instinct for reality to bear on the platitudes and pieties of society. His sense of the human tragedy fortified him against self-deception and easy consolation. "I have been" he wrote, "one acquainted with the night." And because he knew the midnight as well as the high noon, because he understood the ordeal as well as the triumph of the human spirit, he gave his age strength with which to overcome despair. At bottom, he held a deep faith in the spirit of man, and it is hardly an accident that Robert Frost coupled poetry and power, for he saw poetry as the means of saving power from itself.''' When power leads men towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. For art establishes the basic human truth which must serve as the touchstone of our judgment.
* '''A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers.'''
* '''The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the Nation's greatness, but the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable''', especially when that questioning is disinterested, for they determine whether we use power or power uses us.

* '''The artist, however faithful to his personal vision of reality, becomes the last champion of the individual mind and sensibility against an intrusive society and an officious state. The great artist is thus a solitary figure.''' He has, as [[Robert Frost|Frost]] said, a lover's quarrel with the world. In pursuing his perceptions of reality, he must often sail against the currents of his time. This is not a popular role. If Robert Frost was much honored in his lifetime, it was because a good many preferred to ignore his darker truths. Yet in retrospect, we see how the artist's fidelity has strengthened the fiber of our national life. If sometimes our great artist have been the most critical of our society, it is because their sensitivity and their concern for justice, which must motivate any true artist, makes him aware that our Nation falls short of its highest potential. '''I see little of more importance to the future of our country and our civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist.'''
* '''If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him. We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.''' And as [[Archibald MacLeish|Mr. MacLeish]] once remarked of poets, there is nothing worse for our trade than to be in style. '''In free society art is not a weapon and it does not belong to the spheres of polemic and ideology. Artists are not engineers of the soul. It may be different elsewhere. But democratic society — in it, the highest duty of the writer, the composer, the artist is to remain true to himself and to let the chips fall where they may. In serving his vision of the truth, the artist best serves his nation. And the nation which disdains the mission of art invites the fate of [[Robert Frost]]'s hired man, the fate of having "nothing to look backward to with pride, and nothing to look forward to with hope."'''
* '''I look forward to a great future for America, a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose. I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty, which will protect the beauty of our natural environment, which will preserve the great old American houses and squares and parks of our national past, and which will build handsome and balanced cities for our future.'''
* '''I look forward to an America which will reward achievement in the arts as we reward achievement in business or statecraft. I look forward to an America which will steadily raise the standards of artistic accomplishment and which will steadily enlarge cultural opportunities for all of our citizens. And I look forward to an America which commands respect throughout the world not only for its strength but for its civilization as well. And I look forward to a world which will be safe not only for democracy and diversity but also for personal distinction.'''
* Robert Frost was often skeptical about projects for human improvement, yet I do not think he would disdain this hope. As he wrote during the uncertain days of the Second War: <br/><br/> Take human nature altogether since time began . . . <br/> And it must be a little more in favor of man, <br/> Say a fraction of one percent at the very least . . . <br/> Our hold on this planet wouldn't have so increased. <br/><br/> '''Because of Mr. Frost's life and work''', because of the life and work of this college, '''our hold on this planet has increased.'''

* For more than 3 years '''I have spoken about [[w:New Frontier|the New Frontier]].''' This is not a partisan term, and it is not the exclusive property of Republicans or Democrats. '''It refers''', instead, '''to this Nation's place in history, to the fact that we do stand on the edge of a great new era, filled with both crisis and opportunity, an era to be characterized by achievement and by challenge. It is an era which calls for action and for the best efforts of all those who would test the unknown and the uncertain in every phase of human endeavor. It is a time for pathfinders and pioneers.'''
* '''Many''' Americans '''make the mistake of assuming that space research has no values here on earth. Nothing could be further from the truth. Just as [[w:Radar in World War II|the wartime development of]] [[w:Radar|radar]] gave us the [[w:Transistor|transistor]], and all that it made possible, so research in space medicine holds the promise of substantial benefit for those of us who are earthbound. For our effort in space is not as some have suggested, a competitor for the natural resources that we need to develop the earth. It is a working partner and a coproducer of these resources. And nothing makes this clearer than the fact that medicine in space is going to make our lives healthier and happier here on earth.'''
* I give you three examples: first, '''medical space research may open up new understanding of man's relation to his [[environment]]. Examinations of the astronaut's physical, and mental, and emotional reactions can teach us more about the differences between normal and abnormal, about the causes and effects of disorientation, about changes in [[w:Metabolism|metabolism]] which could result in extending the life span. When you study the effects on our astronauts of exhaust gases which can contaminate their environment, and you seek ways to alter these gases so as to reduce their toxicity, you are working on problems similar to those in our great urban centers which themselves are being corrupted by gases and which must be clear.'''
* And second, '''medical space research may revolutionize the technology and the techniques of modern medicine. Whatever new devices are created, for example, '''to monitor our astronauts, to measure their heart activity, their breathing, their brain waves, their eye motion, at great distances and under difficult conditions, will also represent a major advance in general medical instrumentation.''' Heart patients may even be able to wear a light monitor which will sound a warning if their activity exceeds certain limits. An instrument recently developed to record automatically the impact of acceleration upon an astronaut's eyes will also be of help to small children who are suffering miserably from eye defects, but are unable to describe their impairment. And also by the use of instruments similar to those used in [[w:Project Mercury|Project Mercury]], this Nation's private as well as public nursing services are being improved, enabling one nurse now to give more critically ill patients greater attention than they ever could in the past.
* And third, '''medical space research may lead to new safeguards against hazards common to many environments'''. Specifically, our astronauts will need fundamentally new devices to protect them from the ill effects of radiation which can have a profound influence upon medicine and man's relations to our present environment.
* '''I think the United States should be a leader. A country as rich and powerful as this which bears so many burdens and responsibilities, which has so many opportunities, should be second to none.''' And in December, while I do not regard our mastery of space as anywhere near complete, while I recognize that there are still areas where we are behind — at least in one area, the size of the booster — this year I hope the United States will be ahead. And I am for it. '''We have a long way to go. Many weeks and months and years of long, tedious work lie ahead. There will be setbacks and frustrations and disappointments. There will be, as there always are, pressures in this country to do less in this area as in so many others, and temptations to do something else that is perhaps easier. But this research here must go on. This space effort must go on. The conquest of space must and will go ahead. That much we know. That much we can say with confidence and conviction.'''
* [[w:Frank_O'Connor|Frank O'Connor]], the [[Irish people|Irish]] writer, tells in one of his books how, as a boy, he and his friends would make their way across the countryside, and when they came to an orchard wall that seemed too high and too doubtful to try and too difficult to permit their voyage to continue, they took off their hats and tossed them over the wall — and then they had no choice but to follow them.
* '''This Nation has tossed its cap over the wall of space, and we have no choice but to follow it. Whatever the difficulties, they will be overcome. Whatever the hazards, they must be guarded against. With the vital''' help of this Aerospace Medical Center, with the '''help of all those who labor in the space endeavor, with the help and support of all Americans, we will climb this wall with safety and with speed-and we shall then explore the wonders on the other side.'''
** The original anecdote from whence Kennedy derived this comparison is in An Only Child, Frank O'Connor, London: MacMillan & Co. Ltd., 1961; p. 180.
==== [[s:Remarks Prepared for Delivery at the Trade Mart in Dallas|Remarks Prepared for Delivery at the Trade Mart in Dallas]] ====
:<small>The following quotes were meant to be delivered on 22 November 1963, in Dallas, Texas. They were however never delivered; Kennedy was on his way to the [[w:Dallas Market Center|Trade Mart]] when [[w:Assassination of John F. Kennedy|he was assassinated]].</small>
[[File:Kennedys arrive at Dallas 11-22-63.JPG |thumb|If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be of no help.]]
[[File:Two JFKs.jpg|thumb|Only an America which has fully educated its citizens is fully capable of tackling the complex problems and perceiving the hidden dangers of the world in which we live.]]
[[File:John F. Kennedy motorcade, Dallas crop.png |thumb|Only an America which practices what it preaches about equal rights and social justice will be respected by those whose choice affects our future.]]
* It is fitting that these two symbols of [[Dallas]] progress are united in the sponsorship of this meeting, for they represent the best qualities, I am told, of leadership and learning in this city — and '''leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. The advancement of learning depends on community leadership for financial and political support and the products of that learning, in turn, are essential to the leadership's hopes for continued progress and prosperity. It is not a coincidence that those communities possessing the best in research and graduate facilities''' — from [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]] to [[California Institute of Technology|Cal Tech]] — '''tend to attract the new and growing industries. [...] This link between leadership and learning is not only essential at the community level, it is even more indispensable in world affairs. Ignorance and misinformation can handicap the progress of a city or a company, but they can, if allowed to prevail in foreign policy, handicap this country's security. In a world of complex and continuing problems, in a world full of frustrations and irritations, America's leadership must be guided by the lights of learning and reason''', or else those who confuse rhetoric with reality and the plausible with the possible will gain the popular ascendancy with their seemingly swift and simple solutions to every world problem.
* We cannot expect that everyone, to use the phrase of a decade ago, will [[w:Adlai_Stevenson#1952_presidential_bid|''"talk sense to the American people"'']]. But we can hope that fewer people will listen to nonsense. And '''the notion''' that this Nation is headed for defeat through deficit, or '''that strength is but a matter of slogans, is nothing but just plain nonsense.'''
* I want to discuss with you today the status of our strength and our security because this question clearly calls for the most responsible qualities of leadership and the most enlightened products of scholarship. For this Nation's strength and security are not easily or cheaply obtained, nor are they quickly and simply explained. '''There are many kinds of strength and no one kind will suffice. Overwhelming nuclear strength cannot stop a guerrilla war. Formal pacts of alliance cannot stop internal subversion. Displays of material wealth cannot stop the disillusionment of diplomats subjected to discrimination. Above all, words alone are not enough.''' The United States is a peaceful nation. And '''where our strength and determination are clear, our words need merely to convey conviction, not belligerence. If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be of no help.'''
* In this administration also it has been necessary at times to issue specific warnings — warnings that [[w:History of Laos since 1945#The_failure_of_neutralism|we could not stand by]] and [[w:Laotian civil war#1961:_Superpowers.27_involvement_deepens|watch the Communists conquer Laos by force]], or [[w:Congo Crisis|intervene in the Congo]], or [[w:Berlin Crisis of 1961|swallow West Berlin]], or [[w:Cuban Missile Crisis|maintain offensive missiles on Cuba]]. But while our goals were at least temporarily obtained in these and other instances, '''our successful defense of freedom was due not to the words we used, but to the strength we stood ready to use on behalf of the principles we stand ready to defend. This strength is composed of many different elements, ranging from the most massive deterrents to the most subtle influences. And all types of strength are needed — no one kind could do the job alone.'''
* '''Our security and strength, in the last analysis, directly depend on the security and strength of others''', and that is why our military and economic assistance plays such a key role in enabling those who live on the periphery of the Communist world to maintain their independence of choice. Our assistance to these nations can be painful, risky and costly, as is true in [[w:Southeast Asia|Southeast Asia]] today. But we dare not weary of the task. For our assistance makes possible the stationing of 3-5 million allied troops along the Communist frontier at one-tenth the cost of maintaining a comparable number of American soldiers.
* Our foreign aid program is not growing in size, it is, on the contrary, smaller now than in previous years. It has had its weaknesses, but we have undertaken to correct them. And '''the proper way of treating weaknesses is to replace them with strength, not to increase those weaknesses by emasculating essential programs.''' Dollar for dollar, in or out of government, there is no better form of investment in our national security than our much-abused foreign aid program.
* Finally, it '''should be clear by now that a nation can be no stronger abroad than she is at home. Only an America which practices what it preaches about equal rights and [[social justice]] will be respected by those whose choice affects our future. Only an America which has fully educated its citizens is fully capable of tackling the complex problems and perceiving the hidden dangers of the world in which we live. And only an America which is growing and prospering economically can sustain the worldwide defenses of freedom, while demonstrating to all concerned the opportunities of our system and society.'''
* Our adversaries have not abandoned their ambitions, our dangers have not diminished, our vigilance cannot be relaxed. But now we have the military, the scientific, and the economic strength to do whatever must be done for the preservation and promotion of freedom. That strength will never be used in pursuit of aggressive ambitions — it will always be used in pursuit of peace. It will never be used to promote provocations — it will always be used to promote the peaceful settlement of disputes.
* '''We in this country, in this generation, are — by destiny rather than choice — the watchmen on the walls of world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of [[s:Bible_(King_James)/Luke#Chapter_2|''"peace on earth, good will toward men"'']]. That must always be our goal, and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength.''' For as was written long ago: [[s:Bible_(King_James)/Psalms#Psalm_127|''"except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain."'']]

* '''Civilization''', it was once said, '''is a race between education and catastrophe''' — and we intend to win that race for education.
* For this country is moving and it must not stop. It cannot stop. For '''this is a time for courage and a time for [[challenge]]. Neither [[conformity]] nor [[complacency]] will do. Neither the fanatics nor the faint-hearted are needed.''' And '''our duty''' as a Party '''is''' not to our Party alone, but '''to the nation, and, indeed, to all mankind. Our duty is not merely the preservation of political power but the preservation of peace and freedom.'''
* So '''let us not be petty when our cause is so great. Let us not quarrel amongst ourselves when our Nation's future is at stake.'''
* '''Let us stand together with renewed confidence in our cause — united in our heritage of the past and our hopes for the future — and determined that this land we love shall lead all mankind into new frontiers of peace and abundance.'''

[[File:John F.

* I hate to say this because I know it's going to be misunderstood, but his reputation is greater because of the tragedy of his death than it would have been if he had lived out two terms. ... He was a most attractive person. He had real charm. He did not seem to be in any sense a great man. I do not think he knew a great deal about the matters which it's desirable that a chief of state or a President of the United States should know about. He was not decisive.

* I met him in the 1950s when I was at [[Harvard University|Harvard]], and I thought the world of him. I was greatly inspired by him when he became president, I found his inaugural address moving, I liked that special sense of vigor and enthusiasm that he injected into an America that seemed to be a little bit uncertain of itself, especially after the launch of the [[w:Sputnik|Sputnik]]. And I was profoundly shocked when he was shot. I remember that moment vividly, but I have to add that the more I learned about him later on, the more I became inclined to temper my enthusiasm for him. I began to see that he was much more manipulative, much more opportunistic, much more self-serving, much less guided by any profound sort of code of conduct or standard than I had believed. So it was, in a way, a disillusioning reassessment.

*Besides the feeling of personal sorrow and loss, which for me could scarcely be greater if it were a member of the family, there are the feelings of shock, dismay, and revulsion at the black aspects of our national life so strongly underlined - the bigotry, intolerance and hatred preached by so many.

* [The] premise is that Kennedy was a very good president, and might have been a great one if he’d lived. Few serious historians take this view … In reality, the kindest interpretation of Kennedy’s presidency is that he was a mediocrity whose death left his final grade as “incomplete.” The harsher view would deem him a near disaster — ineffective in domestic policy, evasive on civil rights and a serial blunderer in foreign policy, who barely avoided a nuclear war that his own brinksmanship had pushed us toward ...

* A key to John F. Kennedy's political success was that he revived the "frontier" as a trope of [[Populism|populist]] [[American imperialism|imperialism]] openly based on the drama and popular myth of "settling" the continent, of "taming" a different sort of "wilderness." In Kennedy's acceptance speech at the 1960 Democratic National Convention in [[Los Angeles]], [[historian]] [[Richard Slotkin]] writes, the presidential nominee "asked his audience to see him as a new kind of frontiersman confronting a different sort of wilderness: 'I stand tonight facing west on what was once the last frontier. From the lands that stretch 3000 miles behind me, the pioneers of old gave up their safety, their comfort and sometimes their lives to build a new world here in the West.... We stand today on the edge of a new frontier ... a frontier of unknown opportunities and paths, a frontier of unfulfilled hopes and threats."

* John Kennedy, who was assassinated in November 1963, left an ambiguous Cold War legacy. In his June 1963 American University commencement address he expressed optimism over achieving peaceful coexistence with the Soviet Union. But within two weeks he set out to [[Europe]] to reassure his [[NATO]] allies of America’s commitment to their defense (while also appealing for a greater contribution on their part), and in West Berlin he denounced the brutal system on the other side of the wall and chided those who believed “we can work with the communists.” Moreover, the otherwise prudent Kennedy markedly increased [[w:US military aid|US military aid]] and advisers to the embattled government of [[South Vietnam]] and shortly before his death also authorized [[w:1963 South Vietnamese coup d'etat|the generals’ successful coup]] against [[Ngô Đình Diệm|Diệm]], thus expanding America’s responsibility for another, even more distant, and indefensible ally.

* John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, has been taken from us by an act which outrages decent men everywhere. He upheld the faith of our fathers, which is freedom for all men. He broadened the frontiers of that faith, and backed it with the energy and the courage which are the mark of the Nation he led. A man of [[wisdom]], [[strength]], and [[peace]], he moulded and moved the power of our Nation in the service of a world of growing liberty and order. All who love freedom will mourn his death. As he did not shrink from his responsibilities, but welcomed them, so he would not have us shrink from carrying on his work beyond [[w:Assassination of John F. Kennedy|this hour of national tragedy]]. [...] I earnestly recommend the people [...] to pay their homage of love and reverence to the memory of '''a great and good man'''.

No words are strong enough to express our determination to continue the forward thrust of America that he began.

And now the ideas and the ideals which he so nobly represented must and will be translated into effective action.

* Kennedy's posthumous reputation has undergone an extraordinary series of metamorphoses. As could have been predicted, the first revaluation of his character and achievement was almost as depressing as the conspiracy theories; his ''histoire amoureuse'' was being touted around before the first blade of grass had grown on his grave, and soon every whore in America was announcing that he had enjoyed her favours.

* And none so poor to do it reverence. What happened? Surely something did, for that portrait of Kennedy can hardly be recognised from the version we have today. He is now widely thought of, when he is thought of at all, as either an earlier model of [[Jimmy Carter|President Carter]], all goodwill and muddle, or a belligerent adventurer likely to follow the Bay of Pigs fiasco with an unprovoked nuclear strike on [[Moscow]]. Was it all show and froth, good looks and rhetoric? I do not believe it. In the first place, Kennedy was not a [[Liberalism|liberal]] in the Carter mode (let alone the [[w:Michael Dukakis|Dukakis]] version); it would almost be closer to the reality to say that he was a liberal in the sense of the [[w:Manchester school|Manchester school]].

* The extent to which the world was being weighed down by millions of the old still in power, getting older without losing their power, was not nearly as present in [[consciousness]] in the 1960s as it is in the [[1970s]].

* Less than a year after Lee Harvey Oswald fired from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, the Warren Commission formed by President [[Lyndon Johnson]] completed its investigation into that day. <br> The commission found what it politely called "certain shortcomings and lapses from the high standards which the Commission believes should prevail in the field of Presidential protection." <br> Many dealt with the Secret Service's advance work. No one thought to check the buildings along the motorcade route. There were no formal procedures for working with local law enforcement agencies. <br> Marc Ambinder, who is editor at large of [[w:The Week|The Week]] and has written about the agency, says the Secret Service of 50 years ago was ill-prepared to deal with the gregarious Kennedy. <br> "It's a combination of the fact that the Secret Service playbook was outdated and they had never really encountered a president before John F. Kennedy who loved to mix it up, and loved to get in the middle of huge crowds, and fed off the energy of huge crowds," Ambinder says. <br> After the assassination, the Secret Service made some immediate changes. Open limousines were out. And it began taking a more aggressive approach to its advance work. <br> "Not [[criticizing]] what happened in 1963, but I think it's fair to say that protections changed quite a bit, and how we do things on a day-to-day basis," says Special Agent Brian Leary, who serves as a spokesman for the agency.

* [[Nikita Khrushchev|Nikita Krushchev]]'s eagerness to challenge U.S. interests around the world contributed to the spread of the Cold War in the [[Middle East]], East Asia, Latin America, and even Africa. Krushchev's aggressiveness was motivated not only by a desire to take advantage of an opportunity to expand Soviet influence but also by the perceived Soviet need to fend off a growing challenge by China for leadership of the communist movement. Krushchev's willingness to engage the United States in a nuclear arms race was motivated primarily by his realization that the Soviet Union, despite the continuing development of its nuclear arsenal, was still vulnerable to an American nuclear strike. He undoubtedly believed that the best defense is a good offense and that a forward policy would conceal Soviet nuclear weakness while serving to pressure the West to resolve issues, such as Berlin, to the satisfaction of the Soviet Union. Krushchev's aggressiveness also made Soviet-American reconciliation impossible during the 1950s.
** Ronald Powaski, ''The Cold War: The United States and the Soviet Union, 1917-1991'' (1998), p. 133-134
* Krushchev's public rhetoric also made Soviet-American reconciliation difficult, if not impossible, early in Kennedy's presidency. On January 6, 1961, the Soviet leader declared his country would support "wars of national liberation" in the underdeveloped world. Krushchev's declaration, wrote the president's confidante and historian [[Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.|Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.]], "alarmed Kennedy more than Moscow's amiable signals assuaged him." Although Kennedy was willing to negotiate an end to the Cold War, the Third World challenge which Krushchev threw at him would have to be dealt with first.
** Ronald Powaski, ''The Cold War: The United States and the Soviet Union, 1917-1991'' (1998), p. 135
* In the opinion of another historian, Bruce Miroff, Kennedy's reaction to Krushchev's blustering revealed an acute inferiority complex, which the president manifested by a perverse need to prove his leadership capabilities. As a result, rather than ignoring or minimizing Krushchev's threats, as Eisenhower usually did, Kennedy personalized them and converted them into tests of will, in the process manufacturing crises that need not have been. "There was really nothing in that [Eisenhower] era comparable to the Berlin crisis of 1961 and the Cuban missile crisis of 1962," Miroff observes, both of which represented the closest approaches to a superpower nuclear war during the Cold War. For whatever reasons, whether they were primarily ideological, political, or psychological- and all were important- in formulating his initial response to the Soviet Union Kennedy chose to emphasize Krushchev's bellicose actions rather than his friendly gestures. Only after Kennedy had proved to the Soviet leader that he was not soft on communism would [[diplomacy]] make any headway during his presidency.
** Ronald Powaski, ''The Cold War: The United States and the Soviet Union, 1917-1991'' (1998), p. 136
* Kennedy was praised nationwide, even by his Republican critics, for his masterly handling of the Cuban missile crisis, a response Schlesinger characterized as a "combination of toughness and restraint." Yet few discussed what could have happened had he failed. Historian Louise FitzSimons points out what many preferred not to think about: "In the flush of success and relief from danger, Kennedy was determined to force Krushchev's total capitulation- no matter the cost." During the height of the crisis, the president himself placed the likelihood of disaster at "somewhere between one out of three and even," and lamented that the world's children might not live out their lives. Ironically, the enhanced short-term prestige that Kennedy experienced in the wake of the Cuban missile crisis only produced greater long-term insecurity for his country. The humiliation Krushchev suffered at the hands of Kennedy during the missile crisis contributed to his removal from power in October 1964. The new [[Government of Russia|Soviet leadership]], headed by [[Leonid Brezhnev]], was determined to avoid a repetition of the humiliation Krushchev had experienced. Beginning in early 1965, the Kremlin embarked on a massive expansion of the Soviet nuclear arsenal that would enable the Soviet Union to achieve nuclear parity with the United States by the end of the decade. in addition, Kennedy's triumph in the Cuban missile crisis contributed to the development of what historian William J. Medland has called an "arrogance of power," a belief that the United States had the communists on the run. This new attitude helped to explain the growing U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
** Ronald Powaski, ''The Cold War: The United States and the Soviet Union, 1917-1991'' (1998), p. 144
* The Cuban missile crisis also had beneficial consequences. The close brush with nuclear war helped create a climate for productive arms control negotiations, which had not existed since the abortive Paris summit of May 1960. Attempting to reduce tensions with the West, Krushchev, on December 19, 1962, sent Kennedy a personal letter inviting him to intensify the effort to conclude a nuclear test ban treaty. With the humiliation of the Bay of Pigs fiasco erased by his astute performance during the Cuban missile crisis, and sobered by the close superpower approach to nuclear war, Kennedy accepted Krushchev's invitation. Six months later, Kennedy delivered the most conciliatory speech on the Soviet Union of his career. In a commencement address at American University on June 10, 1963, he called on Americans to reexamine their attitudes toward the Soviet Union. "In the final analysis," he told his audience, "we all inhabit this small planet... And we are all mortal." Kennedy called on the American people to support his effort to conclude a nuclear test ban agreement. It would be an initial step toward preserving the life of the planet. As a sign of good faith in the ultimate success of the test ban talks, Kennedy announced that the United States would not conduct atmospheric nuclear tests as long as the Soviet Union employed similar restraint.
** Ronald Powaski, ''The Cold War: The United States and the Soviet Union, 1917-1991'' (1998), p. 144-145
* Despite the limited nature of Kennedy's philosophical transformation after the Cuban missile crisis, his American University speech nevertheless had an extremely favorable impact on the Soviet leadership. Krushchev told [[W. Averell Harriman|Averell Harriman]] that it was the best speech delivered by a U.S. president since [[Franklin D. Roosevelt|Franklin Roosevelt]]. In response, on June 20 the Soviet signed a "hot line" agreement, which established a direct teletype link between Moscow and Washington. The agreement was designed to reduce the risks of an accidental nuclear was as well as ease tensions during international crises.
** Ronald Powaski, ''The Cold War: The United States and the Soviet Union, 1917-1991'' (1998), p. 145
* Shouldn't someone tag Mr. Kennedy's "bold new imaginative" program with its proper age? Under the tousled boyish haircut it is still old Karl Marx — first launched a century ago. There is nothing new in the idea of a government being [[Big Brother]] to us all. [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]] called his "[[Nazism|State Socialism]]" and way before him it was "benevolent [[monarchy]]."

*Yet another universally held conviction [among Europeans is that] Americans make it a point of honor to elect only mental defectives as Presidents. From the [[Missouri]] tie salesman [[Harry Truman]] to the [[Texas]] cretin [[George W.

Kennedy, in the eyes of the French, rose a little above this undistinguished bunch, probably because he had the merit of having married [[Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis|someone of French extraction]]; naturally, this union could not fail to raise President Kennedy's intelligence to at least average level — but doubtless still too high for his fellow citizens, who never forgave him and ended up assassinating him.

Kennedy had little luck with Congress; Johnson's 32 years' experience on Capitol Hill caught him how to handle lawmakers.

* The most shocking part [about the assassination of JFK] is...the sequence of the shooting, the timing,... the wounds and the autopsy. It's all quite shocking when you...think seriously about it. It doesn't make any sense the way they described it. That's the most shocking part of the case. When you start to investigate Oswald, of course there are a thousand interesting things that come up.

He was fired by Kennedy, as were all his top officials, two years earlier. He was put in charge of the investigation and buried certain information. That's part of the cover-up.

What happened was much deeper than that, and there was so many inconsistencies, so many holes in the Warren Commission... The point is that you cannot remove legitimacy from government like that and get away with it, and the people knew something was wrong. They didn't know exactly what was wrong, but they sensed that something had gone astray, like [[anarchy]] has set in.

* John Kennedy, in his youth and good looks, brought a new generation to replace the dour faces of the Eisenhower administration, and added social glamour and greater public-relations skills to the presidency's power. He was the first president for whom television- particularly his witty and informative news conferences, broadcast live- became a calculated political instrument. In his term, too, the president's responsibility for managing the national economy was acknowledged and accepted. Kennedy's brief tenure, coinciding with the apogee of American power in the world, made him a sort of young emperor; and his murder was doubly shocking because Americans, by 1963, considered their president somehow preeminent over mere mortals, as superior as the nation itself, thus lacking ordinary human vulnerability.

*On 13 March 1962, a US military memo was circulated outlining Operation Northwoods: plans to initiate a wave of false flag [[Terrorism in the United States|terrorist attacks]] in order to justify military intervention in Cuba. Declassified documents describe the proposed plan: "We could develop a Cuban Communist terror campaign in the [[Miami]] area, in other [[Florida]] cities and even in Washington… The terror campaign could be pointed at Cubans refugees seeking haven in the United States. We could sink a boatload of Cubans en route to Florida (real or simulated.) We could foster attempts on lives of Cuban refugees in the United States... Exploding a few plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots." President John F Kennedy declined to implement the plan and removed its author, [[w:Lyman_Lemnitzer|General Lemnitzer]], as Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, causing a rift with some military officials who perceived him as being soft on Cuba. This was despite the fact that Kennedy had authorised a failed invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs as well as Operation Mongoose – another covert plan to destabilise the Cuban government which included numerous terrorist attacks on Cuban soil.

* By the way, right at that time Birmingham had exploded, and the Negroes in Birmingham—remember, they also exploded. They began to stab the crackers in the back and bust them up 'side their head—yes, they did. That's when Kennedy sent in the troops, down in Birmingham. So, and right after that, Kennedy got on the television and said "this is a moral issue."

[[Image:Unico Anello.png|244px|thumb|right|We cannot use the Ruling Ring. That we now know too well. It belongs to Sauron and was made by him alone, and is altogether evil.]]
:''For quotes from the movie adaptations, see ''[[The Lord of the Rings (movies)|The Lord of the Rings]]'' movie trilogy.''
----
'''''[[w:The Fellowship of the Ring (book)|The Fellowship of the Ring]]''''' (1954); first of three volumes in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' books by [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]. It contains ''Book I: The Ring Sets Out'' and ''Book II: The Ring Goes South''.
==Book I==
===A Long-expected Party===
* When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.
**First sentence
* I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
**[[w:Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo's]] farewell speech
* ''The Road goes ever on and on <br> Down from the door where it began. <br> Now far ahead the Road has gone, <br> And I must follow, if I can, <br> Pursuing it with eager feet, <br> Until it joins some larger way <br> Where many paths and errands meet. <br> And whither then? I cannot say.''
* 'It was a compliment,' said Merry Brandybuck, 'and so, of course, not true.'
===The Shadow of the Past===
[[File:The one ring animated.gif|thumb|right|One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,<br> One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.]]
* ''Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, <br>Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,<br>Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,<br>One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne <br>In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. <br> '''One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,<br> One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them''' <br> In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.''
**In the story this is a translation of a verse in the [[w:Black Speech|Black Speech]].
* 'You say the ring is dangerous, far more dangerous than I guess. In what way?'<br />'In many ways,' answered the wizard. 'It is far more powerful than I ever dared to think at first, so powerful that in the end it would utterly overcome anyone of mortal race who possessed it. It would possess him.'
** [[w:Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] and [[w:Gandalf|Gandalf]]
* 'Sooner or later, if he is strong or well-meaning to begin with, but neither strength nor good purpose will last. Sooner or later the Dark Power will devour him.'
** Gandalf
* He thought the ring was very beautiful, and very useful at need; and if anything was wrong or queer, it was himself. He said that it was "growing on his mind", and he was always worrying about it; but he did not suspect that the ring itself was to blame.
** Gandalf
* 'I wish it need not have happened in my time,' said Frodo.<br> 'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. '''All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.''''
* 'What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature, when he had a chance!' <br /> 'Pity? It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need. And he has been well rewarded, Frodo. Be sure that he took so little hurt from the evil, and escaped in the end, because he began his ownership of the Ring so. With Pity.'
** Frodo and Gandalf
* '''Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.''' I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it. And he is bound up with the fate of the Ring. '''My heart tells me that he has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before the end'''; and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many – yours not least.
** Gandalf
* 'You are wise and powerful. Will you not take the Ring?’<br/>'No!' cried Gandalf, springing to his feet. 'With that power I should have power too great and terrible. And over me the Ring would gain a power still greater and more deadly.' His eyes flashed and his face was lit as by a fire within. ''''Do not tempt me!''' For I do not wish to become like the Dark Lord himself. Yet the way of the Ring to my heart is by pity, pity for weakness and the desire of strength to do good. Do not tempt me! I dare not take it, not even to keep it safe, unused. The wish to wield it would be too great for my strength. I shall have such need of it. Great perils lie before me.'
=== Three is Company===
* He used often to say there was only one Road; that it was like a great river: its springs were at every doorstep, and every path was its tributary. "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door," he used to say. "You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to."
** [[w:Frodo Baggins|Frodo]], of [[w:Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]]
* I don't know, and I would rather not guess.
** Frodo
* ''Still round the corner there may wait <br> A new road or a secret gate, <br> And though we pass them by today, <br> Tomorrow we may come this way <br> And take the hidden paths that run <br> Towards the Moon or to the Sun.''
* But it is not your own Shire. Others dwelt here before hobbits were; and others will dwell here again when hobbits are no more. The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out.
** [[w:Gildor Inglorion|Gildor]]
* Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
** Gildor
* Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes.
** Frodo
*...Seldom give unguarded advice, for advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill.
** Gildor
* 'But where shall I find courage?' asked Frodo. <br/> 'Courage is found in unlikely places,' said Gildor. 'Be of good hope! Sleep now!'
** Frodo and Gildor
=== A Short Cut to Mushrooms ===
* 'They seem a bit above my likes and dislikes, so to speak,' answered Sam slowly. 'It don't seem to matter what I think about them. They are quite different from what I expected – so old and young, and so gay and sad, as it were.'
** [[w:Samwise Gamgee|Sam]] speaking of the Elves.
* 'Short cuts make delays, but inns make longer ones.'
** [[w:Frodo|Frodo]]
* ''Ho! Ho! Ho! to the bottle I go<br> To heal my heart and drown my woe.<br> Rain may fall and wind may blow,<br> And many miles be still to go,<br> But under a tall tree I will lie,<br> And let the clouds go sailing by.''
** Sam and Pippin
===A Conspiracy Unmasked===
* 'Sam is an excellent fellow, and would jump down a dragon's throat to save you, if he did not trip over his own feet.'
** Said by Pippin
===In the House of Tom Bombadil===
* 'Tell me, who are you, alone, yourself and nameless?'
** [[w:Tom Bombadil|Tom Bombadil]] to Frodo.
* 'Eldest, that's what I am. Mark my words, my friends: Tom was here before the river and the trees; Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the little People arriving. He was here before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wights. When the Elves passed westward, Tom was here already, before the seas were bent. He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless – before the Dark Lord came from Outside.'
** Tom Bombadil
* There were fortresses on the heights. Kings of little kingdoms fought together, and the young Sun shone like fire on the red metal of their new and greedy swords. There was victory and defeat; and towers fell, fortresses were burned, and flames went up into the sky. Gold was piled on the biers of dead kings and queens; and mounds covered them, and the stone doors were shut; and the grass grew over all.
* There's earth under his old feet, and clay on his fingers; wisdom in his bones, and both his eyes are open.
** Tom Bombadil, speaking of Farmer Maggot
* Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadilo! <br> By water, wood and hill, by reed and willow, <br> By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us! <br> Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!
*Then Tom put the Ring round the end of his little finger and held it up to the candlelight. For a moment the hobbits noticed nothing strange about this. Then they gasped. There was no sign of Tom disappearing!
**Fellowship
=== Fog on the Barrow-Downs===
* That night they heard no noises. But either in his dreams or out of them, he could not tell which, Frodo heard a sweet singing running in his mind: a song that seemed to come like a pale light behind a grey rain-curtain, and growing stronger to turn the veil all to glass and silver, until at last it was rolled back, and a far green country opened before him under a swift sunrise.
* ''Cold be hand and heart and bone, <br> and cold be sleep under stone: <br> never more to wake on stony bed, <br> never, till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead. <br> In the black wind the stars shall die, <br> and still on gold here let them lie, <br> till the dark lord lifts up his hand <br> over dead sea and withered land.''
* There is a seed of courage hidden (often deeply, it is true) in the heart of the fattest and most timid hobbit, waiting for some final and desperate danger to make it grow.
* <i> Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow, <br> Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow. <br> None has ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master: <br> His songs are stronger songs, and his feet are faster.</i>
=== Strider===
* <i>'''All that is gold does not glitter, <br> Not all those who wander are lost'''; <br> The old that is strong does not wither, <br> Deep roots are not reached by the frost. <br> '''From the ashes a fire shall be woken, <br> A light from the shadows shall spring; <br> Renewed shall be blade that was broken, <br> The crownless again shall be king.'''</i>
* 'But I ''am'' the real Strider, fortunately,' he said, looking down at them with his face softened by a sudden smile. 'I am Aragorn son of Arathorn; and if by life or death I can save you, I will.'
**Strider reveals his true nature to Frodo, Sam and Pippin
=== A Knife in the Dark===
* At that moment, among the trees nearby, a horn rang out. It rent the night like fire on a hill-top.<br><p style="text-align:center">'''AWAKE! FEAR! FIRE! FOES! AWAKE!'''<br>'''FEAR! FIRE! FOES!'''<br>'''AWAKE! AWAKE!'''</p>
**The Horn-call of Buckland blown by the Brandybucks in an attempt to drive the Black Riders away from Fatty Bolger's house
* <i>Gil-galad was an Elven-king. <br> Of him the harpers sadly sing: <br> the last whose realm was fair and free <br> between the Mountains and the Sea. <br> <br> His sword was long, his lance was keen, <br> his shining helm afar was seen; <br> the countless stars of heaven's field <br> were mirrored in his silver shield. <br> <br> But long ago he rode away, <br> and where he dwelleth none can say; <br> for into darkness fell his star <br> in Mordor where the shadows are.</i>
==Book II==
=== Many Meetings===
* He is not half through yet, and to what he will come in the end not even Elrond can foretell. Not to evil, I think. He may become like a glass filled with a clear light for eyes to see that can.
** [[w:Gandalf|Gandalf]] to himself, of [[w:Frodo Baggins|Frodo]]
* But all such places will soon become islands under siege, if things go on as they are going. The Dark Lord is putting forth all his strength.
** Gandalf to Frodo
* I am sorry: sorry you have come in for this burden; sorry about everything. Don't adventures ever have an end? I suppose not. Someone else always has to carry on the story.
** [[w:Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]] to Frodo
* Time doesn't seem to pass here: it just is.
** Bilbo to Frodo, of Rivendell
=== The Council of Elrond===
[[File:Flag of Mordor.svg|thumb|right|If any of the Wise should with this Ring overthrow the Lord of Mordor, using his own arts, he would then set himself on Sauron's throne, and yet another Dark Lord would appear...]]
[[File:Fomalhaut_B_entire-Hubble_Telescope.jpg|thumb|right|The only measure that he knows is desire, desire for power; and so he judges all hearts. Into his heart the thought will not enter that any will refuse it, that having the Ring we may seek to destroy it. If we seek this, we shall put him out of reckoning.]]
*{{anchor|blood of the Númenoreans}}...in the wearing of the swift years of Middle-earth the line of [[b:Guide to The Lord of the Rings/Characters/Miscellaneous#M|Meneldil]] son of [[b:Guide to The Lord of the Rings/Characters/Miscellaneous#A|Anárion]] failed, and [[c:File:Blason Gondor.svg|the Tree]] withered, and the blood of the [[w:Númenor|Númenoreans]] became mingled with that of lesser men. Then the watch upon the walls of [[w:Mordor|Mordor]] slept, and dark things crept back to [[w:Gorgoroth (Middle-earth)|Gorgoroth]]. And on a time evil things came forth, and they took Minas Ithil and abode in it, and they made it into a place of dread; and it is called [[w:List of fictional castles#Tolkien-universe|Minas Morgul]], the Tower of Sorcery.
** [[w:Elrond|Elrond]]
* ''Seek for the Sword that was broken:<br>In Imladris it dwells;<br>There shall be counsels taken<br>Stronger than Morgul-spells.<br>There shall be shown a token<br>That Doom is near at hand,<br>For Isildur's Bane shall waken,<br>And the Halfling forth shall stand.''
* Many evil things there are that your strong walls and bright swords do not stay. You know little of the lands beyond your bounds. Peace and freedom, do you say? The North would have known them little but for us.
** [[w:Aragorn|Aragorn]]
* And yet less thanks have we than you. Travellers scowl at us, and countrymen give us scornful names. 'Strider' I am to one fat man who lives within a day's march of foes that would freeze his heart, or lay his little town in ruin, if he were not guarded ceaselessly. Yet we would not have it otherwise. If simple folk are free from care and fear, simple they will be, and we must be secret to keep them so.
** Aragorn
* '''He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.'''
** [[w:Gandalf|Gandalf]] to [[w:Saruman|Saruman]]
* It is perilous to study too deeply the arts of the Enemy, for good or for ill. But such falls and betrayals, alas, have happened before.
** [[w:Elrond|Elrond]], of Saruman
* I think that in the end, if all else is conquered, Bombadil will fall, Last as he was First; and then Night will come.
** [[w:Glorfindel|Glorfindel]]
* It is not our part here to take thought only for a season, or for a few lives of Men, or for a passing age of the world. We should seek a final end of this menace, even if we do not hope to make one.
** [[w:Gandalf|Gandalf]]
* '''We must take a hard road, a road unforeseen. There lies our hope, if hope it be. To walk into peril – to Mordor. We must send the Ring to the Fire.'''
** [[w:Elrond|Elrond]]
* We cannot use the Ruling Ring. That we now know too well. It belongs to Sauron and was made by him alone, and is altogether evil. Its strength, Boromir, is too great for anyone to wield at will, save only those who have already a great power of their own. But for them it holds an even deadlier peril. The very desire of it corrupts the heart.
** [[w:Elrond|Elrond]]
* '''If any of the Wise should with this Ring overthrow the Lord of Mordor, using his own arts, he would then set himself on Sauron's throne, and yet another Dark Lord would appear.''' And that is another reason why the Ring should be destroyed: as long as it is in the world it will be a danger even to the Wise. For nothing is evil in the beginning. Even Sauron was not so. I fear to take the Ring to hide it. I will not take the Ring to wield it.
** [[w:Elrond|Elrond]]
* Despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.
** Gandalf
* Let folly be our cloak, a veil before the eyes of the Enemy! For he is very wise, and weighs all things to a nicety in the scales of his malice. But '''the only measure that he knows is desire, desire for power; and so he judges all hearts. Into his heart the thought will not enter that any will refuse it, that having the Ring we may seek to destroy it. If we seek this, we shall put him out of reckoning.'''
** Gandalf
* This quest may be attempted by the weak with as much hope as the strong. '''Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.'''
** [[w:Elrond|Elrond]]
* I had thought of putting: ''and he lived happily ever afterwards to the end of his days.'' It is a good ending, and none the worse for having been used before. Now I shall have to alter that: it does not look like coming true.
** [[w:Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]]
* ''''I will take the Ring,' he said, 'though I do not know the way.''''
** [[w:Frodo Baggins|Frodo]]
* This is the hour of the Shire-folk, when they arise from their quiet fields to shake the towers and counsels of the Great. Who of all the Wise could have foreseen it? Or, if they are wise, why should they expect to know it, until the hour has struck?
** [[w:Elrond|Elrond]]
=== The Ring Goes South===
* ''''Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens''',' said Gimli. <br> 'Maybe,' said Elrond, 'but let him not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall.' <br> 'Yet sworn word may strengthen quaking heart,' said Gimli. <br> 'Or break it,' said Elrond.
=== A Journey in the Dark===
* At last Frodo spoke. 'I do not wish to go,' he said; 'but neither do I wish to refuse the advice of Gandalf. I beg that there should be no vote, until we have slept on it. Gandalf will get votes easier in the light of the morning than in this cold gloom. '''How the wind howls!''''<br>At these words all fell into silent thought. They heard the wind hissing among the rocks and trees, and there was a howling and wailing round them in the empty spaces of the night.<p>Suddenly Aragorn leapt to his feet. ''''How the wind howls!'''' he cried. ''''It is howling with wolf-voices. The Wargs have come west of the Mountains!''''
=== The Bridge of Khazad-dûm===
[[File:Durin's Bane.jpg|thumbnail|You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of [[w:Minor_places_in_Arda#U|Udûn]]. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.]]
* Well, well! That's over! I have done all that I could. But I have met my match, and have nearly been destroyed. But don't stand here! Go on!
** [[w:Gandalf|Gandalf]] following his brief, first confrontation with the [[w:Balrog|Balrog]] of [[w:Moria, Middle-earth|Moria]] (having been blown down a flight of stairs)
* 'You cannot pass,' he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. ''''I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of [[w:Minor_places_in_Arda#U|Udûn]]. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.''''
** Gandalf confronting the [[w:Balrog|Balrog]] of [[w:Moria, Middle-earth|Moria]]
* With a terrible cry the Balrog fell forward, and its shadow plunged down and vanished. But even as it fell it swung its whip, and the thongs lashed and curled about the wizard's knees, dragging him to the brink. He staggered and fell, grasped vainly at the stone, and slid into the abyss. ''''Fly, you fools!'''' he cried, and was gone.
** Gandalf falling into the chasm above which the Bridge of Khazad-dûm had stood
=== Lothlórien===
* In nothing is the power of the Dark Lord more clearly shown than in the estrangement that divides all those who still oppose him.
** [[w:Haldir|Haldir]]
* '''The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.'''
** Haldir to the Fellowship
* I thought that Elves were all for moon and stars: but this is more elvish than anything I ever heard tell of. I feel as if I was ''inside'' a song, if you take my meaning.
** [[w:Samwise Gamgee|Sam]], to [[w:Frodo Baggins|Frodo]]
* As Frodo prepared to follow him, he laid his hand upon the tree beside the ladder: never before had he been so suddenly and so keenly aware of the feel and texture of a tree's skin and of the life within it. He felt a delight in wood and the touch of it, neither as forester nor as carpenter; it was the delight of the living tree itself.
===The Mirror of Galadriel===
[[File:Lothlorien by Tessa Boronski.jpg|thumbnail|I pass the [[test]] … I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel.]]
* 'Speak no evil of the Lady Galadriel!' said Aragorn sternly. 'You know not what you say. There is in her and in this land no evil, unless a man bring it hither himself.'
* It's the job that's never started as takes longest to finish.
** Attributed by [[w:Samwise Gamgee|Sam]] to his "old gaffer"
* I will not give you counsel, saying do this, or do that. For not in doing or contriving, nor in choosing between this course and another, can I avail; but only in knowing what was and is, and in part also what shall be.
** [[w:Galadriel|Galadriel]]
* You may learn something, and whether what you see be fair or evil, that may be profitable, and yet it may not. Seeing is both good and perilous.
** Galadriel to [[w:Frodo Baggins|Frodo]]
* 'And what do you wish?' he said at last.<br />'That what should be shall be,' she answered.
** Frodo and Galadriel
* I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired to ask what you offer. For many long years I had pondered what I might do, should the Great Ring come into my hands, and behold! it was brought within my grasp. The evil that was devised long ago works on in many ways, whether Sauron himself stands or falls. Would not that have been a noble deed to set to the credit of his Ring, if I had taken it by force or fear from my guest?<br />'And now at last it comes. '''You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!'''<nowiki>'</nowiki><br />She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore there issued a great light that illumined her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful. Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo! she was shrunken: a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white, whose gentle voice was soft and sad.<br />''' 'I pass the test,' she said. 'I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel.' '''
* Did not Gandalf tell you that the rings give power according to the measure of each possessor? Before you could use that power you would need to become far stronger, and to train your will to the domination of others.
** Galadriel
=== Farewell to Lórien===
* Do not despise the lore that has come down from distant years; for oft it may chance that old wives keep in memory word of things that once were needful for the wise to know.
** [[w:Celeborn|Celeborn]]
* It is said that the skill of the Dwarves is in their hands rather than in their tongues, yet that is not true of Gimli. For none have ever made to me a request so bold and yet so courteous...I do not foretell, for all foretelling is now vain: on the one hand lies darkness, and on the other only hope. But if hope should not fail, then I say to you, Gimli son of Glóin, that your hands shall flow with gold, and yet over you gold shall have no dominion.
** [[w:Galadriel|Galadriel]]
* 'Tell me, Legolas, why did I come on this Quest? Little did I know where the chief peril lay! Truly Elrond spoke, saying that we could not foresee what we might meet upon our road. Torment in the dark was the danger that I feared, and it did not hold me back. But I would not have come, had I known the danger of light and joy.'
** [[w:Gimli (Middle-earth)|Gimli]]
* 'Memory is not what the heart desires. That is only a mirror, be it clear as Kheled-zâram. Or so says the heart of Gimli the Dwarf. Elves may see things otherwise. Indeed I have heard that for them memory is more like to the waking world than to a dream. Not so for Dwarves.'
** Gimli
=== The Great River===
* 'Time does not tarry ever,' he said; 'but change and growth is not in all things and places alike. For the Elves the world moves, and it moves both very swift and very slow. Swift, because they themselves change little, and all else fleets by: it is a grief to them. Slow, because they do not count the running years, not for themselves. Yet beneath the Sun all things must wear to an end at last.'
**[[w:Legolas|Legolas]]
=== The Breaking of the Fellowship ===
* 'Whoa, Sam Gamgee!' he said aloud. 'Your legs are too short, so use your head!'
* It is no good trying to escape you. But I'm glad, Sam. I cannot tell you how glad. Come along! It is plain that we were meant to go together. We will go, and may the others find a safe road!

== Quotes about ''The Fellowship of the Ring'' ==
* Tolkien continues the imaginative history of the imaginary world to which he introduced us in his earlier book but in a manner suited to adults, to those, that is, between the ages of 12 and 70.
* The hero, Frodo Baggins, belongs to a race of beings called hobbits, who may be only three feet high; have hairy feet and prefer to live in underground houses, but in their thinking and sensibility resemble very closely those arcadian rustics who inhabit so many British detective stories.
* The first thing that one asks is that the adventure should be various and exciting; in this respect Mr. Tolkien’s invention is unflagging, and, on the primitive level of wanting to know what happens next, ''The Fellowship of the Ring'' is at least as good as ''The Thirty-Nine Steps''.
* Mr. Tolkien is fortunate in possessing an amazing gift for naming and a wonderfully exact eye for description; by the time one has finished his book one knows the histories of Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves and the landscape they inhabit as well as one knows one’s own childhood.

* A point of great importance would be first to know: what is the capacity of the earth? And what charge does it contain if electrified? Though we have no positive evidence of a charged body existing in space without other oppositely electrified bodies being near, there is a fair probability that the earth is such a body, for by whatever process it was separated from other bodies — and this is the accepted view of its origin — it must have retained a charge, as occurs in all processes of mechanical separation.
** "Experiments With Alternating Currents of Very High Frequency, and Their Application to Methods of Artificial Illumination" (20 May 1891)
* Alternate currents, especially of high frequencies, pass with astonishing freedom through even slightly rarefied gases. The upper strata of the air are rarefied. To reach a number of miles out into space requires the overcoming of difficulties of a merely mechanical nature.

* '''Ere many generations pass, our [[machinery]] will be driven by a [[power]] obtainable at any point of the universe.''' This idea is not novel. Men have been led to it long ago by instinct or reason; it has been expressed in many ways, and in many places, in the history of old and new. We find it in the delightful myth of [[w:Antaeus|Antaeus]], who derives power from the earth; we find it among the subtle speculations of one of your splendid mathematicians and in many hints and statements of thinkers of the present time. '''Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic — and this we know it is, for certain — then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature.'''
** "Experiments With Alternate Currents Of High Potential And High Frequency" (February 1892)
* Ere long intelligence—transmitted without wires—will throb through the earth like a pulse through a living organism. The wonder is that, with the present state of knowledge and the experiences gained, no attempt is being made to disturb the electrostatic or magnetic condition of the earth, and transmit, if nothing else, intelligence.
** In ''Electrical Engineer'', (24 Jun 1892), 11, 609.
* There is something within me that might be illusion as it is often case with young delighted people, but if I would be fortunate to achieve some of my ideals, it would be on the behalf of the whole of humanity. If those hopes would become fulfilled, the most exciting thought would be that it is a deed of a Serb.
** Address at the Belgrade train station (1 June 1892){{citation needed}}
* Nature may reach the same result in many ways. Like a wave in the physical world, in the infinite ocean of the medium which pervades all, so in the world of organisms, in life, an impulse started proceeds onward, at times, may be, with the speed of light, at times, again, so slowly that for ages and ages it seems to stay, passing through processes of a complexity inconceivable to men, but in all its forms, in all its stages, its energy ever and ever integrally present. A single ray of light from a distant star falling upon the eye of a tyrant in bygone times may have altered the course of his life, may have changed the destiny of nations, may have transformed the surface of the globe, so intricate, so inconceivably complex are the processes in Nature. In no way can we get such an overwhelming idea of the grandeur of Nature than when we consider, that in accordance with the law of the conservation of energy, throughout the Infinite, the forces are in a perfect balance, and hence the energy of a single thought may determine the motion of a universe.
** "On Light And Other High Frequency Phenomena" A lecture delivered before the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia (24 February 1893), and before the National Electric Light Association, St. Louis (1 March 1893), published in ''The Electrical review'' (9 June 1893), p. Page 683; also in ''The Inventions, Researches And Writings of Nikola Tesla'' (1894)
* There is an influence which is getting strong and stronger day by day, which shows itself more and more in all departments of human activity, and influence most fruitful and beneficial—the influence of the artist. It was a happy day for the mass of humanity when the artist felt the desire of becoming a physician, an electrician, an engineer or mechanician or—whatnot—a mathematician or a financier; for it was he who wrought all these wonders and grandeur we are witnessing. It was he who abolished that small, pedantic, narrow-grooved school teaching which made of an aspiring student a galley-slave, and he who allowed freedom in the choice of subject of study according to one's pleasure and inclination, and so facilitated development.

* When the great truth accidentally revealed and experimentally confirmed is fully recognized, that this planet, with all its appalling immensity, is to electric currents virtually no more than a small metal ball and that by this fact many possibilities, each baffling imagination and of incalculable consequence, are rendered absolutely sure of accomplishment; when the first plant is inaugurated and it is shown that a telegraphic message, almost as secret and non-interferable as a thought, can be transmitted to any terrestrial distance, the sound of the human voice, with all its intonations and inflections, faithfully and instantly reproduced at any other point of the globe, the energy of a waterfall made available for supplying light, heat or motive power, anywhere — on sea, or land, or high in the air — humanity will be like an ant heap stirred up with a stick: See the excitement coming!

* As soon as it is completed, it will be possible for a business man in New York to dictate instructions, and have them instantly appear in type at his office in London or elsewhere. He will be able to call up, from his desk, and talk to any telephone subscriber on the globe, without any change whatever in the existing equipment. An inexpensive instrument, not bigger than a watch, will enable its bearer to hear anywhere, on sea or land, music or song, the speech of a political leader, the address of an eminent man of science, or the sermon of an eloquent clergyman, delivered in some other place, however distant. In the same manner any picture, character, drawing, or print can be transferred from one to another place. Millions of such instruments can be operated from but one plant of this kind. More important than all of this, however, will be the transmission of power, without wires, which will be shown on a scale large enough to carry conviction.

* Edison was by far the most successful and, probably, the last exponent of the purely empirical method of investigation. Everything he achieved was the result of persistent trials and experiments often performed at random but always attesting extraordinary vigor and resource. Starting from a few known elements, he would make their combinations and permutations, tabulate them and run through the whole list, completing test after test with incredible rapidity until he obtained a clue. His mind was dominated by but one idea, to leave no stone unturned, to exhaust every possibility.<br> If he had a needle to find in a haystack he would not stop to reason where it was most likely to be, but would proceed at once, with the feverish diligence of a bee, to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search. I came from Paris in the Spring of 1884, and was brought in intimate contact with him. We experimented day and night, holidays not excepted. His existence was made up of alternate periods of work and sleep in the laboratory. He had no hobby, cared for no sport or amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene.<br> There can be no doubt that, if he had not married later a woman of exceptional intelligence, who made it the one object of her life to preserve him, he would have died many years ago from consequences of sheer neglect. So great and uncontrollable was his passion for work.<br> His method was inefficient in the extreme, for an immense ground had to be covered to get anything at all unless blind chance intervened and, at first, I was almost a sorry witness of his doings, knowing that just a little theory and calculation would have saved him 90 per cent of the labor. But he had a veritable contempt for book learning and mathematical knowledge, trusting himself entirely to his inventor's instinct and practical American sense. In view of this, the truly prodigious amount of his actual accomplishments is little short of a miracle. <br>The recurrence of a phenomenon like Edison is not very likely. The profound change of conditions and the ever increasing necessity of the oretical training would seem to make it impossible. He will occupy a unique and exalted position in the history of his native land, which might well be proud of his great genius and undying achievements ir the interest of humanity.
** As quoted in "Tesla Says Edison Was an Empiricist", ''The New York Times'' (19 Oct 1931), 25.
* I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. It might as well be said that God has properties. He has not, but only attributes and these are of our own making. Of properties we can only speak when dealing with matter filling the space. To say that in the presence of large bodies space becomes curved is equivalent to stating that something can act upon nothing. I, for one, refuse to subscribe to such a view.

** "Radio Power Will Revolutionize the World" in ''Modern Mechanics and Inventions'' (July 1934)
* When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do this will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket. We shall be able to witness and hear events—the inauguration of a President, the playing of a World Series game, the havoc of an earthquake or the terror of a battle—just as though we were present.

*But the female mind has demonstrated a capacity for all the mental acquirements and achievements of men, and as generations ensue that capacity will be expanded; the average woman will be as well educated as the average man, and then better educated, for the dormant faculties of her brain will be stimulated to an activity that will be all the more intense and powerful because of centuries of repose. Woman will ignore precedent and startle civilization with their progress.

* I have satisfied myself that the [cosmic] rays are not generated by the formation of new matter in space, a process which would be like water running up a hill. Nor do they come to any appreciable amount from the stars. According to my investigations the sun emits a radiation of such penetrative power that it is virtually impossible to absorb it in lead or other substances. ... This ray, which I call the primary solar ray, gives rise to a secondary radiation by impact against the cosmic dust scattered through space. It is the secondary radiation which now is commonly called the cosmic ray, and comes, of course, equally from all directions in space. [The article continues: The phenomena of radioactivity are not the result of forces within the radioactive substances but are caused by this ray emitted by the sun. If radium could be screened effectively against this ray it would cease to be radioactive, he said.]

* Much has been said about [[Yugoslavia]] and its people, but many Americans may be under a wrong impression for political enemies and agitators have spread the idea that its inhabitants belong to different nations animated by mutual hate and held together against their will, by a tyrannical power.

It was the Serbians who fought the battles for freedom and the price of liberty was paid in Serbian blood. All true Croatians and Slovenes remember that gratefully.

Alexander will live long in the memory of his people, a heroic figure of imposing stature, both the [[George Washington|Washington]] and [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln]] of the Yugoslavs; like Washington an able and intrepid general who freed his country from oppression; like Lincoln a wise and patriotic leader who suffered martyrdom.

[[File:Tesla young.jpg|thumb|right|The [[individual]] is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but [[Humanity|man]] remains.]]
* When we speak of man, we have a conception of humanity as a whole, and before applying scientific methods to the investigation of his movement we must accept this as a physical fact. But can anyone doubt to-day that all the millions of individuals and all the innumerable types and characters constitute an entity, a unit? Though free to think and act, we are held together, like the stars in the firmament, with ties inseparable. These ties cannot be seen, but we can feel them. I cut myself in the finger, and it pains me: this finger is a part of me. I see a friend hurt, and it hurts me, too: my friend and I are one. And now I see stricken down an enemy, a lump of matter which, of all the lumps of matter in the universe, I care least for, and it still grieves me. Does this not prove that each of us is only part of a whole? {{pb}} For ages this idea has been proclaimed in the consummately wise teachings of religion, probably not alone as a means of insuring peace and harmony among men, but as a deeply founded truth. The Buddhist expresses it in one way, the Christian in another, but both say the same: We are all one. Metaphysical proofs are, however, not the only ones which we are able to bring forth in support of this idea. Science, too, recognizes this connectedness of separate individuals, though not quite in the same sense as it admits that the suns, planets, and moons of a constellation are one body, and there can be no doubt that it will be experimentally confirmed in times to come, when our means and methods for investigating psychical and other states and phenomena shall have been brought to great perfection. Still more: this one human being lives on and on. The individual is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but man remains. Therein lies the profound difference between the individual and the whole.
* For every person who perishes from the effects of a stimulant, at least a thousand die from the consequences of drinking impure water. This precious fluid, which daily infuses new life into us, is likewise the chief vehicle through which disease and death enter our bodies. The germs of destruction it conveys are enemies all the more terrible as they perform their fatal work unperceived. They seal our doom while we live and enjoy. The majority of people are so ignorant or careless in drinking water, and the consequences of this are so disastrous, that a philanthropist can scarcely use his efforts better than by endeavoring to enlighten those who are thus injuring themselves. By systematic purification and sterilization of the drinking water the human mass would be very considerably increased. It should be made a rigid rule which might be enforced by law to boil or to sterilize otherwise the drinking water in every household and public place. The mere filtering does not afford sufficient security against infection. All ice for internal uses should be artificially prepared from water thoroughly sterilized. The importance of eliminating germs of disease from the city water is generally recognized, but little is being done to improve the existing conditions, as no satisfactory method of sterilizing great quantities of water has yet been brought forward. By improved electrical appliances we are now enabled to produce ozone cheaply and in large amounts, and this ideal disinfectant seems to offer a happy solution of the important question.
* The production of artificial food as a means for causing an increase of the human mass naturally suggests itself, but a direct attempt of this kind to provide nourishment does not appear to me rational, at least not for the present. Whether we could thrive on such food is very doubtful. We are the result of ages of continuous adaptation, and we cannot radically change without unforeseen and, in all probability, disastrous consequences. So uncertain an experiment should not be tried. By far the best way, it seems to me, to meet the ravages of the evil, would be to find ways of increasing the productivity of the soil. With this object the preservation of forests is of an importance which cannot be overestimated, and in this connection, also, the utilization of water-power for purposes of electrical transmission, dispensing in many ways with the necessity of burning wood, and tending thereby to forest preservation, is to be strongly advocated. But there are limits in the improvement to be effected in this and similar ways. {{pb}} To increase materially the productivity of the soil, it must be more effectively fertilized by artificial means. The question of food-production resolves itself, then, into the question how best to fertilize the soil. What it is that made the soil is still a mystery. To explain its origin is probably equivalent to explaining the origin of life itself. The rocks, disintegrated by moisture and heat and wind and weather, were in themselves not capable of maintaining life. Some unexplained condition arose, and some new principle came into effect, and the first layer capable of sustaining low organisms, like mosses was formed. These, by their life and death, added more of the life sustaining quality to the soil, and higher organisms could then subsist, and so on and on, until at last highly developed plant and animal life could flourish. But though the theories are, even now, not in agreement as to how fertilization is effected, it is a fact, only too well ascertained, that the soil cannot indefinitely sustain life, and some way must be found to supply it with the substances which have been abstracted from it by the plants. The chief and most valuable among these substances are compounds of nitrogen, and the cheap production of these is, therefore, the key for the solution of the all-important food problem. Our atmosphere contains an inexhaustible amount of nitrogen, and could we but oxidize it and produce these compounds, an incalculable benefit for mankind would follow. {{pb}} Long ago this idea took a powerful hold on the imagination of scientific men, but an efficient means for accomplishing this result could not be devised. The problem was rendered extremely difficult by the extraordinary inertness of the nitrogen, which refuses to combine even with oxygen. But here electricity comes to our aid: the dormant affinities of the element are awakened by an electric current of the proper quality. As a lump of coal which has been in contact with oxygen for centuries without burning will combine with it when once ignited, so nitrogen, excited by electricity, will burn. I did not succeed, however, in producing electrical discharges exciting very effectively the atmospheric nitrogen until a comparatively recent date, although I showed, in May, 1891, in a scientific lecture, a novel form of discharge or electrical flame named "St. Elmo's hotfire," which, besides being capable of generating ozone in abundance, also possessed, as I pointed out on that occasion, distinctly the quality of exciting chemical affinities. This discharge or flame was then only three or four inches long, its chemical action was likewise very feeble, and consequently the process of oxidation of nitrogen was wasteful. How to intensify this action was the question. Evidently electric currents of a peculiar kind had to be produced in order to render the process of nitrogen combustion more efficient.
* There can be no doubt that, of all the frictional resistances, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance. Not without reason said that man of wisdom, Buddha: "Ignorance is the greatest evil in the world." The friction which results from ignorance, and which is greatly increased owing to the numerous languages and nationalities, can be reduced only by the spread of knowledge and the unification of the heterogeneous elements of humanity. No effort could be better spent. But however ignorance may have retarded the onward movement of man in times past, it is certain that, nowadays, negative forces have become of greater importance. Among these there is one of far greater moment than any other. It is called organized warfare. When we consider the millions of individuals, often the ablest in mind and body, the flower of humanity, who are compelled to a life of inactivity and unproductiveness, the immense sums of money daily required for the maintenance of armies and war apparatus, representing ever so much of human energy, all the effort uselessly spent in the production of arms and implements of destruction, the loss of life and the fostering of a barbarous spirit, we are appalled at the inestimable loss to mankind which the existence of these deplorable conditions must involve. What can we do to combat best this great evil?
* It has been argued that the perfection of guns of great destructive power will stop [[warfare]]. So I myself thought for a long time, but now I believe this to be a profound mistake. Such developments will greatly modify, but not arrest it. On the contrary, I think that every new arm that is invented, every new departure that is made in this direction, merely invites new talent and skill, engages new effort, offers new incentive, and so only gives a fresh impetus to further development. Think of the discovery of gun-powder. Can we conceive of any more radical departure than was effected by this innovation? Let us imagine ourselves living in that period: would we not have thought then that warfare was at an end, when the armor of the knight became an object of ridicule, when bodily strength and skill, meaning so much before, became of comparatively little value? Yet gunpowder did not stop warfare: quite the opposite it acted as a most powerful incentive.
* As regards the security of a country against foreign invasion, it is interesting to note that it depends only on the relative, and not the absolute, number of the individuals or magnitude of the forces, and that, if every country should reduce the war-force in the same ratio, the security would remain unaltered. An international agreement with the object of reducing to a minimum the war-force which, in view of the present still imperfect education of the masses, is absolutely indispensable, would, therefore, seem to be the first rational step to take toward diminishing the force retarding human movement.
* So we find that the three possible solutions of the great problem of increasing human energy are answered by the three words: food, peace, work. Many a year I have thought and pondered, lost myself in speculations and theories, considering man as a mass moved by a force, viewing his inexplicable movement in the light of a mechanical one, and applying the simple principles of mechanics to the analysis of the same until I arrived at these solutions, only to realize that they were taught to me in my early childhood. These three words sound the key-notes of the Christian religion. Their scientific meaning and purpose now clear to me: food to increase the mass, peace to diminish the retarding force, and work to increase the force accelerating human movement. These are the only three solutions which are possible of that great problem, and all of them have one object, one end, namely, to increase human energy. When we recognize this, we cannot help wondering how profoundly wise and scientific and how immensely practical the Christian religion is, and in what a marked contrast it stands in this respect to other religions. It is unmistakably the result of practical experiment and scientific observation which have extended through the ages, while other religions seem to be the outcome of merely abstract reasoning. Work, untiring effort, useful and accumulative, with periods of rest and recuperation aiming at higher efficiency, is its chief and ever-recurring command. Thus we are inspired both by Christianity and Science to do our utmost toward increasing the performance of mankind. This most important of human problems I shall now specifically consider.
* The ultimate results of development in these three directions are: first, the burning of coal by a cold process in a battery; second, the efficient utilization of the energy of the ambient medium; and, third the transmission without wires of electrical energy to any distance. In whatever way these results may be arrived at, their practical application will necessarily involve an extensive use of iron, and this invaluable metal will undoubtedly be an essential element in the further development along these three lines. If we succeed in burning coal by a cold process and thus obtain electrical energy in an efficient and inexpensive manner, we shall require in many practical uses of this energy electric motors that is, iron. If we are successful in deriving energy from the ambient medium, we shall need, both in the obtainment and utilization of the energy, machinery again, iron. If we realize the transmission of electrical energy without wires on an industrial scale, we shall be compelled to use extensively electric generators once more, iron. Whatever we may do, iron will probably be the chief means of accomplishment in the near future, possibly more so than in the past. How long its reign will last is difficult to tell, for even now aluminium is looming up as a threatening competitor. But for the time being, next to providing new resources of energy, it is of the greatest importance to making improvements in the manufacture and utilization of iron. Great advances are possible in these latter directions, which, if brought about, would enormously increase the useful performance of mankind. {{pb}} Iron is by far the most important factor in modern progress. It contributes more than any other industrial product to the force accelerating human movement. So general is the use of this metal, and so intimately is it connected with all that concerns our life, that it has become as indispensable to us as the very air we breathe. Its name is synonymous with usefulness. But, however great the influence of iron may be on the present human development, it does not add to the force urging man onward nearly as much as it might. First of all, its manufacture as now carried on is connected with an appalling waste of fuel that is, waste of energy. Then, again, only a part of all the iron produced is applied for useful purposes. A good part of it goes to create frictional resistances, while still another large part is the means of developing negative forces greatly retarding human movement. Thus the negative force of war is almost wholly represented in iron.
* Aluminium, however, will not stop at downing copper. Before many years have passed it will be engaged in a fierce struggle with iron, and in the latter it will find an adversary not easy to conquer. The issue of the contest will largely depend on whether iron shall be indispensable in electric machinery. This the future alone can decide. The magnetism as exhibited in iron is an isolated phenomenon in nature. What it is that makes this metal behave so radically different from all other materials in this respect has not yet been ascertained, though many theories have been suggested. As regards magnetism, the molecules of the various bodies behave like hollow beams partly filled with a heavy fluid and balanced in the middle in the manner of a see-saw. Evidently some disturbing influence exists in nature which causes each molecule, like such a beam, to tilt either one or the other way. If the molecules are tilted one way, the body is magnetic; if they are tilted the other way, the body is non-magnetic; but both positions are stable, as they would be in the case of the hollow beam, owing to the rush of the fluid to the lower end. Now, the wonderful thing is that the molecules of all known bodies went one way, while those of iron went the other way. This metal, it would seem, has an origin entirely different from that of the rest of the globe. It is highly improbable that we shall discover some other and cheaper material which will equal or surpass iron in magnetic qualities.
* A far better way, however, to obtain power would be to avail ourselves of the sun's rays, which beat the earth incessantly and supply energy at a maximum rate of over four million horsepower per square mile. Although the average energy received per square mile in any locality during the year is only a small fraction of that amount, yet an inexhaustible source of power would be opened up by the discovery of some efficient method of utilizing the energy of the rays. The only rational way known to me at the time when I began the study of this subject was to employ some kind of heat- or thermodynamic-engine, driven by a volatile fluid evaporate in a boiler by the heat of the rays. But closer investigation of this method, and calculation, showed that, notwithstanding the apparently vast amount of energy received from the sun's rays, only a small fraction of that energy could be actually utilized in this manner. Furthermore, the energy supplied through the sun's radiations is periodical, and the same limitations as in the use of the windmill I found to exist here also. After a long study of this mode of obtaining motive power from the sun, taking into account the necessarily large bulk of the boiler, the low efficiency of the heat-engine, the additional cost of storing the energy and other drawbacks, I came to the conclusion that the "solar engine," a few instances excepted, could not be industrially exploited with success. {{pb}} Another way of getting motive power from the medium without consuming any material would be to utilize the heat contained in the earth, the water, or the air for driving an engine. It is a well-known fact that the interior portions of the globe are very hot, the temperature rising, as observations show, with the approach to the center at the rate of approximately 1 degree C. for every hundred feet of depth. The difficulties of sinking shafts and placing boilers at depths of, say, twelve thousand feet, corresponding to an increase in temperature of about 120 degrees C., are not insuperable, and we could certainly avail ourselves in this way of the internal heat of the globe. In fact, it would not be necessary to go to any depth at all in order to derive energy from the stored terrestrial heat. The superficial layers of the earth and the air strata close to the same are at a temperature sufficiently high to evaporate some extremely volatile substances, which we might use in our boilers instead of water. There is no doubt that a vessel might be propelled on the ocean by an engine driven by such a volatile fluid, no other energy being used but the heat abstracted from the water. But the amount of power which could be obtained in this manner would be, without further provision, very small. {{pb}} Electricity produced by natural causes is another source of energy which might be rendered available. Lightning discharges involve great amounts of electrical energy, which we could utilize by transforming and storing it. Some years ago I made known a method of electrical transformation which renders the first part of this task easy, but the storing of the energy of lightning discharges will be difficult to accomplish. It is well known, furthermore, that electric currents circulate constantly through the earth, and that there exists between the earth and any air stratum a difference of electrical pressure, which varies in proportion to the height.
* When I advanced this system of telegraphy, my mind was dominated by the idea of effecting communication to any distance through the earth or environing medium, the practical consummation of which I considered of transcendent importance, chiefly on account of the moral effect which it could not fail to produce universally. As the first effort to this end I proposed at that time, to employ relay-stations with tuned circuits, in the hope of making thus practicable signaling over vast distances, even with apparatus of very moderate power then at my command. I was confident, however, that with properly designed machinery signals could be transmitted to any point of the globe, no matter what the distance, without the necessity of using such intermediate stations. I gained this conviction through the discovery of a singular electrical phenomenon, which I described early in 1892, in lectures I delivered before some scientific societies abroad, and which I have called a "rotating brush." This is a bundle of light which is formed, under certain conditions, in a vacuum-bulb, and which is of a sensitiveness to magnetic and electric influences bordering, so to speak, on the supernatural. This light-bundle is rapidly rotated by the earth's magnetism as many as twenty thousand times pre second, the rotation in these parts being opposite to what it would be in the southern hemisphere, while in the region of the magnetic equator it should not rotate at all. In its most sensitive state, which is difficult to obtain, it is responsive to electric or magnetic influences to an incredible degree. The mere stiffening of the muscles of the arm and consequent slight electrical change in the body of an observer standing at some distance from it, will perceptibly affect it. When in this highly sensitive state it is capable of indicating the slightest magnetic and electric changes taking place in the earth. The observation of this wonderful phenomenon impressed me strongly that communication at any distance could be easily effected by its means, provided that apparatus could be perfected capable of producing an electric or magnetic change of state, however small, in the terrestrial globe or environing medium.
* Another of these reasons was that I was led to recognize the transmission of electrical energy to any distance through the media as by far the best solution of the great problem of harnessing the sun's energy for the uses of man. For a long time I was convinced that such a transmission on an industrial scale, could never be realized, but a discovery which I made changed my view. I observed that under certain conditions the atmosphere, which is normally a high insulator, assumes conducting properties, and so becomes capable of conveying any amount of electrical energy. But the difficulties in the way of a practical utilization of this discovery for the purpose of transmitting electrical energy without wires were seemingly insuperable. Electrical pressures of many millions of volts had to be produced and handled; generating apparatus of a novel kind, capable of withstanding the immense electrical stresses, had to be invented and perfected, and a complete safety against the dangers of the high-tension currents had to be attained in the system before its practical introduction could be even thought of. All this could not be done in a few weeks or months, or even years. The work required patience and constant application, but the improvements came, though slowly. Other valuable results were, however, arrived at in the course of this long-continued work, of which I shall endeavor to give a brief account, enumerating the chief advances as they were successively effected. {{pb}} The discovery of the conducting properties of the air, though unexpected, was only a natural result of experiments in a special field which I had carried on for some years before. It was, I believe, during 1889 that certain possibilities offered by extremely rapid electrical oscillations determined me to design a number of special machines adapted for their investigation. Owing to the peculiar requirements, the construction of these machines was very difficult, and consumed much time and effort; but my work on them was generously rewarded, for I reached by their means several novel and important results. One of the earliest observations I made with these new machines was that electrical oscillations of an extremely high rate act in an extraordinary manner upon the human organism. Thus, for instance, I demonstrated that powerful electrical discharges of several hundred thousand volts, which at that time were considered absolutely deadly, could be passed through the body without inconvenience or hurtful consequences. These oscillations produced other specific physiological effects, which, upon my announcement, were eagerly taken up by skilled physicians and further investigated. This new field has proved itself fruitful beyond expectation, and in the few years which have passed since, it has been developed to such an extent that it now forms a legitimate and important department of medical science. Many results, thought impossible at that time, are now readily obtainable with these oscillations, and many experiments undreamed of then can now be readily performed by their means. I still remember with pleasure how, nine years ago, I passed the discharge of a powerful induction-coil through my body to demonstrate before a scientific society the comparative harmlessness of very rapidly vibrating electric currents, and I can still recall the astonishment of my audience. I would now undertake, with much less apprehension that I had in that experiment, to transmit through my body with such currents the entire electrical energy of the dynamos now working at Niagara forty or fifty thousand horse-power. I have produced electrical oscillations which were of such intensity that when circulating through my arms and chest they have melted wires which joined my hands, and still I felt no inconvenience. I have energized with such oscillations a loop of heavy copper wire so powerfully that masses of metal, and even objects of an electrical resistance specifically greater than that of human tissue brought close to or placed within the loop, were heated to a high temperature and melted, often with the violence of an explosion, and yet into this very space in which this terribly-destructive turmoil was going on I have repeatedly thrust my head without feeling anything or experiencing injurious after-effects. {{pb}} Another observation was that by means of such oscillations light could be produced in a novel and more economical manner, which promised to lead to an ideal system of electric illumination by vacuum-tubes, dispensing with the necessity of renewal of lamps or incandescent filaments, and possibly also with the use of wires in the interior of buildings. The efficiency of this light increases in proportion to the rate of the oscillations, and its commercial success is, therefore, dependent on the economical production of electrical vibrations of transcending rates. In this direction I have met with gratifying success of late, and the practical introduction of this new system of illumination is not far off. {{pb}} The investigations led to many other valuable observations and results, one of the more important of which was the demonstration of the practicability of supplying electrical energy through one wire without return. At first I was able to transmit in this novel manner only very small amounts of electrical energy, but in this line also my efforts have been rewarded with similar success.
* The photograph shown in Fig. 3 illustrates, as its title explains, an actual transmission of this kind effected with apparatus used in other experiments here described. To what a degree the appliances have been perfected since my first demonstrations early in 1891 before a scientific society, when my apparatus was barely capable of lighting one lamp (which result was considered wonderful), will appear when I state that I have now no difficulty in lighting in this manner four or five hundred lamps, and could light many more. In fact, there is no limit to the amount of energy which may in this way be supplied to operate any kind of electrical device.
* After demonstrating the practicability of this method of transmission, the thought naturally occurred to me to use the earth as a conductor, thus dispensing with all wires. Whatever electricity may be, it is a fact that it behaves like an incompressible fluid, and the earth may be looked upon as an immense reservoir of electricity, which, I thought, could be disturbed effectively by a properly designed electrical machine. Accordingly, my next efforts were directed toward perfecting a special apparatus which would be highly effective in creating a disturbance of electricity in the earth.
* However extraordinary the results shown may appear, they are but trifling compared with those which are attainable by apparatus designed on these same principles. I have produced electrical discharges the actual path of which, from end to end, was probably more than one hundred feet long; but it would not be difficult to reach lengths one hundred times as great. I have produced electrical movements occurring at the rate of approximately one hundred thousand horse-power, but rates of one, five, or ten million horse-power are easily practicable. In these experiments effects were developed incomparably greater than any ever produced by human agencies, and yet these results are but an embryo of what is to be.
* That communication without wires to any point of the globe is practicable with such apparatus would need no demonstration, but through a discovery which I made I obtained absolute certitude. Popularly explained, it is exactly this: When we raise the voice and hear an echo in reply, we know that the sound of the voice must have reached a distant wall, or boundary, and must have been reflected from the same. Exactly as the sound, so an electrical wave is reflected, and the same evidence which is afforded by an echo is offered by an electrical phenomenon known as a "stationary" wave that is, a wave with fixed nodal and ventral regions. Instead of sending sound-vibrations toward a distant wall, I have sent electrical vibrations toward the remote boundaries of the earth, and instead of the wall the earth has replied. In place of an echo I have obtained a stationary electrical wave, a wave reflected from afar. {{pb}} Stationary waves in the earth mean something more than mere telegraphy without wires to any distance. They will enable us to attain many important specific results impossible otherwise. For instance, by their use we may produce at will, from a sending-station, an electrical effect in any particular region of the globe; we may determine the relative position or course of a moving object, such as a vessel at sea, the distance traversed by the same, or its speed; or we may send over the earth a wave of electricity traveling at any rate we desire, from the pace of a turtle up to lightning speed. {{pb}} With these developments we have every reason to anticipate that in a time not very distant most telegraphic messages across the oceans will be transmitted without cables. For short distances we need a "wireless" telephone, which requires no expert operators. The greater the spaces to be bridged, the more rational becomes communication without wires. The cable is not only an easily damaged and costly instrument, but it limits us in the speed of transmission by reason of a certain electrical property inseparable from its construction. A properly designed plant for effecting communication without wires ought to have many times the working capacity of a cable, while it will involve incomparably less expense. Not a long time will pass, I believe, before communication by cable will become obsolete, for not only will signaling by this new method be quicker and cheaper, but also much safer. By using some new means for isolating the messages which I have contrived, an almost perfect privacy can be secured. {{pb}} I have observed the above effects so far only up to a limited distance of about six hundred miles, but inasmuch as there is virtually no limit to the power of the vibrations producible with such an oscillator, I feel quite confident of the success of such a plant for effecting transoceanic communication. Nor is this all. My measurements and calculations have shown that it is perfectly practicable to produce on our globe, by the use of these principles, an electrical movement of such magnitude that, without the slightest doubt, its effect will be perceptible on some of our nearer planets, as Venus and Mars. Thus from mere possibility interplanetary communication has entered the stage of probability. In fact, that we can produce a distinct effect on one of these planets in this novel manner, namely, by disturbing the electrical condition of the earth, is beyond any doubt. This way of effecting such communication is, however, essentially different from all others which have so far been proposed by scientific men. In all the previous instances only a minute fraction of the total energy reaching the planet—as much as it would be possible to concentrate in a reflector could be utilized by the supposed observer in his instrument. But by the means I have developed he would be enabled to concentrate the larger portion of the entire energy transmitted to the planet in his instrument, and the chances of affecting the latter are thereby increased many millionfold. {{pb}} Besides machinery for producing vibrations of the required power, we must have delicate means capable of revealing the effects of feeble influences exerted upon the earth. For such purposes, too, I have perfected new methods. By their use we shall likewise be able, among other things, to detect at considerable distance the presence of an iceberg or other object at sea. By their use, also, I have discovered some terrestrial phenomena still unexplained. That we can send a message to a planet is certain, that we can get an answer is probable: man is not the only being in the Infinite gifted with a mind.
* While I have not, as yet, actually effected a transmission of a considerable amount of energy, such as would be of industrial importance, to a great distance by this new method, I have operated several model plants under exactly the same conditions which will exist in a large plant of this kind, and the practicability of the system is thoroughly demonstrated. The experiments have shown conclusively that, with two terminals maintained at an elevation of not more than thirty thousand to thirty-five thousand feet above sea-level, and with an electrical pressure of fifteen to twenty million volts, the energy of thousands of horse-power can be transmitted over distances which may be hundreds and, if necessary, thousands of miles. I am hopeful, however, that I may be able to reduce very considerably the elevation of the terminals now required, and with this object I am following up an idea which promises such a realization. There is, of course, a popular prejudice against using an electrical pressure of millions of volts, which may cause sparks to fly at distances of hundreds of feet, but, paradoxical as it may seem, the system, as I have described it in a technical publication, offers greater personal safety than most of the ordinary distribution circuits now used in the cities. This is, in a measure, borne out by the fact that, although I have carried on such experiments for a number of years, no injury has been sustained either by me or any of my assistants.
* It is probable that we shall soon have a self-acting heat-engine capable of deriving moderate amounts of energy from the ambient medium. There is also a possibility—though a small oneï—that we may obtain electrical energy direct from the sun. This might be the case if the Maxwellian theory is true, according to which electrical vibrations of all rates should emanate from the sun. I am still investigating this subject. Sir William Crookes has shown in his beautiful invention known as the "radiometer" that rays may produce by impact a mechanical effect, and this may lead to some important revelation as to the utilization of the sun's rays in novel ways. Other sources of energy may be opened up, and new methods of deriving energy from the sun discovered, but none of these or similar achievements would equal in importance the transmission of power to any distance through the medium. I can conceive of no technical advance which would tend to unite the various elements of humanity more effectively than this one, or of one which would more add to and more economize human energy. It would be the best means of increasing the force accelerating the human mass. The mere moral influence of such a radical departure would be incalculable. On the other hand if at any point of the globe energy can be obtained in limited quantities from the ambient medium by means of a self-acting heat-engine or otherwise, the conditions will remain the same as before. Human performance will be increased, but men will remain strangers as they were.

[[File:2003-32-GravitationalLens.jpg|thumb|We begin to [[think]] cosmically.]]
* Universal [[Peace]], assuming it to be in the fullest sense realizable, might not require eons for its accomplishment, however probable this may appear, judging from the imperceptibly slow growth of all great reformatory ideas of the past. ... Our accepted estimates of the duration of natural metamorphoses, or changes in general, have been thrown in doubt of late. The very foundations of science have been shaken.
* A state of human life vaguely defined by the term "Universal Peace," while a result of cumulative effort through centuries past, might come into existence ''quickly'', not unlike a crystal suddenly forms in a solution which has been slowly prepared. But just as no effect can precede its cause, so this state can never be ''brought'' on by any pact between nations, however solemn. Experience is made before the law is formulated, both are related like cause and effect. So long as we are clearly conscious of the expectation, that peace is to result from such a parliamentary decision, so long have we a conclusive evidence that we are not fit for peace. Only then when we shall feel that such international meetings are mere formal procedures, unnecessary except in so far as they might serve to give definite expression to a common desire, will peace be assured.{{pb}}To judge from current events we must be, as yet, very distant from that blissful goal. It is true that we are proceeding towards it rapidly. There are abundant signs of this progress everywhere. The race enmities and prejudices are decidedly waning.
* We begin to think cosmically. Our sympathetic feelers reach out into the dim distance. The bacteria of the "[[w:Weltschmerz|Weltschmerz]]," are upon us. So far, however, universal harmony has been attained only in a single sphere of international relationship. That is the postal service. Its mechanism is working satisfactorily, but — how remote are we still from that scrupulous respect of the sanctity of the mail bag! And how much farther again is the next milestone on the road to peace — an international judicial service equally reliable as the postal!
* General disarmament being for the present entirely out of question, a proportionate reduction might be recommended. The safety of any country and of the world's commerce depending not on the absolute, but relative amount of war material, this would be evidently the first reasonable step to take towards universal economy and peace. But it would be a hopeless task to establish an equitable basis of adjustment. Population, naval strength, force of army, commercial importance, water-power, or any other natural resource, actual or prospective, are equally unsatisfactory standards to consider.
* To conquer by sheer force is becoming harder and harder every day. Defensive is getting continuously the advantage of offensive, as we progress in the satanic science of destruction. The new art of controlling electrically the movements and operations of individualized automata at a distance without wires, will soon enable any country to render its coasts impregnable against all naval attacks.
* The distance at which it can strike, and the destructive power of such a ''quasi-intelligent'' machine being for all practical purposes unlimited, the gun, the armor of the battleship and the wall of the fortress, lose their import and significance. One can prophesy with a Daniel's confidence that skilled electricians will settle the battles of the near future. But this is the least. In its effect upon war and peace, electricity offers still much greater and more wonderful possibilities. To stop war by the perfection of engines of destruction alone, might consume centuries and centuries. Other means must be employed to hasten the end.
* Fights between individuals, as well as governments and nations, invariably result from misunderstandings in the broadest interpretation of this term. Misunderstandings are always caused by the inability of appreciating one another's point of view. This again is due to the ignorance of those concerned, not so much in their ''own'', as in their ''mutual'' fields. The peril of a clash is aggravated by a more or less predominant sense of combativeness, posed by every human being. To resist this inherent fighting tendency the best way is to dispel ignorance of the doings of others by a systematic spread of general knowledge. With this object in view, it is most important to aid exchange of thought and intercourse.
[[File:CL0024+17.jpg|thumb|right|Our senses enable us to perceive only a minute portion of the outside world.]]
* Mutual understanding would be immensely facilitated by the use of one universal tongue. But which shall it be, is the great question. At present it looks as if the English might be adopted as such, though it must be admitted that it is not the most suitable. Each language, of course, excels in some feature.... A practical answer to that momentous question must perforce be found in times to come, for it is manifest that by adopting one common language the onward march of man would be prodigiously quickened. I do not believe that an artificial concoction, like Volapuk, will ever find universal acceptance, however time-saving it might be. That would be contrary to human nature. Languages have grown into our hearts.
*The gift of mental power comes from God divine being and if we concentrate our my minds on that truth we become in tune with this great power, my Mother had taught me to seek all truths in the bible.
* Our senses enable us to perceive only a minute portion of the outside world. Our hearing extends to a small distance. Our sight is impeded by intervening bodies and shadows. To know each other we must reach beyond the sphere of our sense perceptions. We must transmit our intelligence, travel, transport the materials and transfer the energies necessary for our existence. Following this thought we now realize, forcibly enough to dispense with argument, that of all other conquests of man, without exception, that which is most desirable, which would be most helpful in the establishment of universal peaceful relations is — the complete ''{{smallcaps|annihilation of distance}}''. {{pb}} To achieve this wonder, electricity is the one and only means. Inestimable good has already been done by the use of this all powerful agent, the nature of which is still a mystery. Our astonishment at what has been accomplished would be uncontrollable were it not held in check by the expectation of greater miracles to come. That one, the greatest of all, can be viewed in three aspects: ''Dissemination of intelligence, transportation, and transmission of power.''
[[File:SourTyre FemaleLebaneseProtestor-MobilePhone RomanDeckert22102019.jpg|thumb|Within a few years a simple and inexpensive device, readily carried about, will enable one to receive on land or sea the principal news, to hear a speech, a lecture, a song or play of a musical instrument, conveyed from any other region of the globe.]]
* Within a few years a simple and inexpensive device, readily carried about, will enable one to receive on land or sea the principal news, to hear a speech, a lecture, a song or play of a musical instrument, conveyed from any other region of the globe. The invention will also meet the crying need for cheap transmission to great distances, more especially over the oceans. The small working capacity of the cables and the excessive cost of messages are now fatal impediments in the dissemination of intelligence which can only be removed by transmission without wires.
* The ideal solution of the problem of transportation will be arrived at only when the complete annihilation of distance in the transmission of power in large amounts shall have become a commercial reality. That day we shall invade the domain of the bird. When the vexing problem of aerial navigation, which has defied his attempts for ages, is solved, man will advance with giant strides.
* That electrical energy can be economically transmitted without wires to any terrestrial distance, I have unmistakably established in numerous observations, experiments and measurements, qualitative and quantitative. These have demonstrated that is practicable to distribute power from a central plant in unlimited amounts, with a loss not exceeding ''a small fraction of one per cent'', in the transmission, even to the greatest distance, twelve thousand miles — to the opposite end of the globe.
[[File:Lightning simulator questacon05.jpg|thumb|right|Whatever the [[future]] may bring, the universal application of these great principles is fully assured, though it may be long in coming.]]
* I have obtained... spark discharges extending through more than one hundred feet and carrying currents of one thousand amperes, electromotive forces approximating twenty million volts, chemically active streamers covering areas of several thousand square feet, and electrical disturbances in the natural media ''surpassing'' those caused by lightning, in intensity. {{pb}} Whatever the future may bring, the universal application of these great principles is fully assured, though it may be long in coming. With the opening of the first power plant, incredulity will give way to wonderment, and this to ingratitude, as ever before.
* It should be borne in mind that electrical energy obtained by harnessing a waterfall is probably fifty times more effective than fuel energy. Since this is the most perfect way of rendering the sun's energy available, the direction of the future material development of man is clearly indicated.
* Electric current, after passing into the earth travels to the diametrically opposite region of the same and rebounding from there, returns to its point of departure with virtually undiminished force. The outgoing and returning currents clash and form nodes and loops similar to those observable on a vibrating cord. To traverse the entire distance of about twenty-five thousand miles, equal to the circumference of the globe, the current requires a certain time interval, which I have approximately ascertained. In yielding this knowledge, nature has revealed one of its most precious secrets, of inestimable consequence to man. So astounding are the facts in this connection, that it would seem as though the Creator, himself, had electrically designed this planet just for the purpose of enabling us to achieve wonders which, before my discovery, could not have been conceived by the wildest imagination.
[[File:Nikola Tesla by Sarony c1898.jpg|thumb|All that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated, suppressed — only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.]]
* The economic transmission of power without wires is of all-surpassing importance to man. By its means he will gain complete mastery of the air, the sea and the desert. It will enable him to dispense with the necessity of mining, pumping, transporting and burning fuel, and so do away with innumerable causes of sinful waste. By its means, he will obtain at any place and in any desired amount, the energy of remote waterfalls — to drive his machinery, to construct his canals, tunnels and highways, to manufacture the materials of his want, his clothing and food, to heat and light his home — year in, year out, ever and ever, by day and by night. It will make the living glorious sun his obedient, toiling slave. It will bring peace and harmony on earth.
* It is not a [[dream]], it is a ''simple feat of scientific [[electrical engineering]]'', only expensive — blind, faint-hearted, doubting world! ... Humanity is not yet sufficiently advanced to be willingly led by the discover's keen searching sense. But who knows? Perhaps it is better in this present world of ours that a revolutionary idea or invention instead of being helped and patted, be hampered and ill-treated in its adolescence — by want of means, by selfish interest, pedantry, stupidity and ignorance; that it be attacked and stifled; that it pass through bitter trials and tribulations, through the heartless strife of commercial existence. So do we get our light. So all that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated, suppressed — only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.
=== Man's Greatest Achievement (1908; 1930) ===
;Version 1. From a letter (dated 19 April 1908) in ''The New York Times'' (21 April 1908) [http://www.tfcbooks.com/tesla/1908-04-21.htm]
[[File:Twain_in_Tesla_Lab.jpg|thumb|right|What has the [[future]] in store for this strange being, born of a breath, of perishable tissue, yet [[Immortal]], with his powers fearful and Divine?]]
* According to an adopted theory, every ponderable atom is differentiated from a tenuous fluid, filling all space merely by spinning motion, as a whirl of water in a calm lake. By being set in movement this fluid, the ether, becomes gross matter. Its movement arrested, the primary substance reverts to its normal state. It appears, then, possible for man through harnessed energy of the medium and suitable agencies for starting and stopping ether whirls to cause matter to form and disappear. At his command, almost without effort on his part, old worlds would vanish and new ones would spring into being. He could alter the size of this planet, control its seasons, adjust its distance from the sun, guide it on its eternal journey along any path he might choose, through the depths of the universe. He could make planets collide and produce his suns and stars, his heat and light; he could originate life in all its infinite forms. '''To cause at will the birth and death of matter would be man's grandest deed, which would give him the mastery of physical creation, make him fulfill his ultimate destiny.'''
;Version 2. "Man's Greatest Achievement", ''New York American'' (6 July 1930) [http://www.tesla-coil-builder.com/Articles/july_6_1930.htm]
* When a child is born its sense-organs are brought in contact with the outer world. The waves of sound, heat, and light beat upon its feeble body, its sensitive nerve-fibres quiver, the muscles contract and relax in obedience: a gasp, a breath, and in this act a marvelous little engine, of inconceivable delicacy and complexity of construction, unlike any on earth, is hitched to the wheel-work of the Universe.
* The little engine labors and grows, performs more and more involved operations, becomes sensitive to ever subtler influences and now there manifests itself in the fully developed being — ''Man'' — a desire mysterious, inscrutable and irresistible: to imitate nature, to create, to work himself the wonders he perceives. {{pb}} Inspired to this task he searches, discovers and invents, designs and constructs, and covers with monuments of beauty, grandeur and awe, the star of his birth. He descends into the bowels of the globe to bring forth its hidden treasures and to unlock its immense imprisoned energies for his use. He invades the dark depths of the ocean and the azure regions of the sky. He peers in the innermost nooks and recesses of molecular structure and lays bare to his gaze worlds infinitely remote. He subdues and puts to his service the fierce, devastating spark of [[w:Prometheus|Prometheus]], the titanic forces of the waterfall, the wind and the tide. He tames the thundering bolt of Jove and annihilates time and space. He makes the great Sun itself his obedient toiling slave. Such is his power and might that the heavens reverberate and the whole earth trembles by the mere sound of his voice.
* What has the future in store for this strange being, born of a breath, of perishable tissue, yet Immortal, with his powers fearful and Divine? What magic will be wrought by him in the end? What is to be his greatest deed, his crowning achievement? {{pb}} Long ago he recognized that all perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or a tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the Akasha or luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life-giving Prana or Creative Force, calling into existence, in never ending cycles, all things and phenomena. The primary substance, thrown into infinitesimal whirls of prodigious velocity, becomes gross matter; the force subsiding, the motion ceases and matter disappears, reverting to the primary substance. {{pb}} Can man control this grandest, most awe-inspiring of all processes in nature? Can he harness her inexhaustible energies to perform all their functions at his bidding? more still cause them to operate simply by the force of his will? {{pb}} If he could do this, he would have powers almost unlimited and supernatural. At his command, with but a slight effort on his part, old worlds would disappear and new ones of his planning would spring into being. He could fix, solidify and preserve the ethereal shapes of his imagining, the fleeting visions of his dreams. He could express all the creations of his mind on any scale, in forms concrete and imperishable. He could alter the size of this planet, control its seasons, guide it along any path he might choose through the depths of the Universe. He could cause planets to collide and produce his suns and stars, his heat and light. He could originate and develop life in all its infinite forms.
* To create and to annihilate material substance, cause it to aggregate in forms according to his desire, would be the supreme manifestation of the power of Man's mind, his most complete triumph over the physical world, his crowning achievement, which would place him beside his Creator, make him fulfill his Ultimate Destiny.

* This growing tendency of women to overshadow the masculine is a sign of a deteriorating civilization.
* Woman's determined competition with man in the business world is breaking down some of the best traditions
* Perhaps the male in human society is useless. I am frank to admit that I don't know. If women are beginning to feel this way about it--and there is striking evidence at hand that they do--then we are entering upon the cruelest period of the world's history.
* The tendency of women to push aside man, supplanting the old spirit of cooperation with him in all the affairs of life, is very disappointing to me.

[[File:Observable Universe with Measurements 01.png|thumb|right|To me, the [[universe]] is simply a great [[machine]] which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine. Nothing enters our minds or determines our actions which is not directly or indirectly a response to stimuli beating upon our sense organs from without.]]
* While I am not a believer in the orthodox sense, I commend religion, first, because every individual should have some ideal — religious, artistic, scientific, or humanitarian — to give significance to his life. Second, because all the great religions contain wise prescriptions relating to the conduct of life, which hold good now as they did when they were promulgated.
* There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine. Nothing enters our minds or determines our actions which is not directly or indirectly a response to stimuli beating upon our sense organs from without. Owing to the similarity of our construction and the sameness of our environment, we respond in like manner to similar stimuli, and from the concordance of our reactions, understanding is born. In the course of ages, mechanisms of infinite complexity are developed, but what we call "soul " or "spirit," is nothing more than the sum of the functionings of the body. When this functioning ceases, the "soul" or the "spirit" ceases likewise.
* The year 2100 will see [[eugenics]] universally established. In past ages, the law governing the survival of the fittest roughly weeded out the less desirable strains. Then man's new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. As a result, we continue to keep alive and to breed the unfit. The only method compatible with our notions of civilization and the race is to prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization and the deliberate guidance of the mating instinct, Several European countries and a number of states of the American Union sterilize the criminal and the insane. This is not sufficient. The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny. A century from now it will no more occur to a normal person to mate with a person eugenically unfit than to marry a habitual criminal.

** [[w:John Stone Stone|John Stone Stone]] in "John Stone Stone on Nikola Tesla's Priority in Radio and Continuous-Wave Radiofrequency Apparatus" (1915)
* Tesla, with his almost preternatural insight into alternating current phenomenon that had enabled him some years before to revolutionize the art of electric power transmission through the invention of the rotary field motor, knew how to make resonance serve, not merely the role of a microscope to make visible the electric oscillations, as Hertz had done, but he made it serve the role of a stereopticon to render spectacular to large audiences the phenomena of electric oscillations and high frequency currents....He did more to excite interest and create an intelligent understanding of these phenomena in the years 1891–1893 than anyone else, and '''the more we learn about high frequency phenomena, resonance, and radiation today, the nearer we find ourselves approaching what we at one time were inclined, through a species of intellectual myopia, to regard as the fascinating but fantastical speculations of a man whom we are now compelled, in the light of modern experience and knowledge, to admit was a prophet.''' But Tesla was no mere lecturer and prophet. He saw to the fulfillment of his prophesies and it has been difficult to make any but unimportant improvements in the art of radio-telegraphy without traveling part of the way at least, along a trail blazed by this pioneer who, though eminently ingenious, practical, and successful in the apparatus he devised and constructed, was so far ahead of his time that the best of us then mistook him for a dreamer. I never came anywhere near having an appreciation of what Mr. Tesla had done in this art until a very late date...

Though we have no positive evidence of a charged body existing in space without other oppositely electrified bodies being near, there is a fair probability that the earth is such a body, for by whatever process it was separated from other bodies — and this is the accepted view of its origin — it must have retained a charge, as occurs in all processes of mechanical separation.

* Nature may reach the same result in many ways. Like a wave in the physical world, in the infinite ocean of the medium which pervades all, so in the world of organisms, in life, an impulse started proceeds onward, at times, may be, with the speed of light, at times, again, so slowly that for ages and ages it seems to stay, passing through processes of a complexity inconceivable to men, but in all its forms, in all its stages, its energy ever and ever integrally present. A single ray of light from a distant star falling upon the eye of a tyrant in bygone times may have altered the course of his life, may have changed the destiny of nations, may have transformed the surface of the globe, so intricate, so inconceivably complex are the processes in Nature. In no way can we get such an overwhelming idea of the grandeur of Nature than when we consider, that in accordance with the law of the conservation of energy, throughout the Infinite, the forces are in a perfect balance, and hence the energy of a single thought may determine the motion of a universe.

* There is an influence which is getting strong and stronger day by day, which shows itself more and more in all departments of human activity, and influence most fruitful and beneficial—the influence of the artist. It was a happy day for the mass of humanity when the artist felt the desire of becoming a physician, an electrician, an engineer or mechanician or—whatnot—a mathematician or a financier; for it was he who wrought all these wonders and grandeur we are witnessing. It was he who abolished that small, pedantic, narrow-grooved school teaching which made of an aspiring student a galley-slave, and he who allowed freedom in the choice of subject of study according to one's pleasure and inclination, and so facilitated development.

* Edison was by far the most successful and, probably, the last exponent of the purely empirical method of investigation. Everything he achieved was the result of persistent trials and experiments often performed at random but always attesting extraordinary vigor and resource. Starting from a few known elements, he would make their combinations and permutations, tabulate them and run through the whole list, completing test after test with incredible rapidity until he obtained a clue. His mind was dominated by but one idea, to leave no stone unturned, to exhaust every possibility.<br> If he had a needle to find in a haystack he would not stop to reason where it was most likely to be, but would proceed at once, with the feverish diligence of a bee, to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search. I came from Paris in the Spring of 1884, and was brought in intimate contact with him. We experimented day and night, holidays not excepted. His existence was made up of alternate periods of work and sleep in the laboratory. He had no hobby, cared for no sport or amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene.<br> There can be no doubt that, if he had not married later a woman of exceptional intelligence, who made it the one object of her life to preserve him, he would have died many years ago from consequences of sheer neglect. So great and uncontrollable was his passion for work.<br> His method was inefficient in the extreme, for an immense ground had to be covered to get anything at all unless blind chance intervened and, at first, I was almost a sorry witness of his doings, knowing that just a little theory and calculation would have saved him 90 per cent of the labor. But he had a veritable contempt for book learning and mathematical knowledge, trusting himself entirely to his inventor's instinct and practical American sense. In view of this, the truly prodigious amount of his actual accomplishments is little short of a miracle. <br>The recurrence of a phenomenon like Edison is not very likely. The profound change of conditions and the ever increasing necessity of the oretical training would seem to make it impossible. He will occupy a unique and exalted position in the history of his native land, which might well be proud of his great genius and undying achievements ir the interest of humanity.

[[File:Tesla young.jpg|thumb|right|The [[individual]] is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but [[Humanity|man]] remains.]]
* When we speak of man, we have a conception of humanity as a whole, and before applying scientific methods to the investigation of his movement we must accept this as a physical fact. But can anyone doubt to-day that all the millions of individuals and all the innumerable types and characters constitute an entity, a unit? Though free to think and act, we are held together, like the stars in the firmament, with ties inseparable. These ties cannot be seen, but we can feel them. I cut myself in the finger, and it pains me: this finger is a part of me. I see a friend hurt, and it hurts me, too: my friend and I are one. And now I see stricken down an enemy, a lump of matter which, of all the lumps of matter in the universe, I care least for, and it still grieves me. Does this not prove that each of us is only part of a whole? {{pb}} For ages this idea has been proclaimed in the consummately wise teachings of religion, probably not alone as a means of insuring peace and harmony among men, but as a deeply founded truth. The Buddhist expresses it in one way, the Christian in another, but both say the same: We are all one. Metaphysical proofs are, however, not the only ones which we are able to bring forth in support of this idea. Science, too, recognizes this connectedness of separate individuals, though not quite in the same sense as it admits that the suns, planets, and moons of a constellation are one body, and there can be no doubt that it will be experimentally confirmed in times to come, when our means and methods for investigating psychical and other states and phenomena shall have been brought to great perfection. Still more: this one human being lives on and on. The individual is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but man remains. Therein lies the profound difference between the individual and the whole.
* For every person who perishes from the effects of a stimulant, at least a thousand die from the consequences of drinking impure water. This precious fluid, which daily infuses new life into us, is likewise the chief vehicle through which disease and death enter our bodies. The germs of destruction it conveys are enemies all the more terrible as they perform their fatal work unperceived. They seal our doom while we live and enjoy. The majority of people are so ignorant or careless in drinking water, and the consequences of this are so disastrous, that a philanthropist can scarcely use his efforts better than by endeavoring to enlighten those who are thus injuring themselves. By systematic purification and sterilization of the drinking water the human mass would be very considerably increased. It should be made a rigid rule which might be enforced by law to boil or to sterilize otherwise the drinking water in every household and public place. The mere filtering does not afford sufficient security against infection. All ice for internal uses should be artificially prepared from water thoroughly sterilized. The importance of eliminating germs of disease from the city water is generally recognized, but little is being done to improve the existing conditions, as no satisfactory method of sterilizing great quantities of water has yet been brought forward. By improved electrical appliances we are now enabled to produce ozone cheaply and in large amounts, and this ideal disinfectant seems to offer a happy solution of the important question.
* The production of artificial food as a means for causing an increase of the human mass naturally suggests itself, but a direct attempt of this kind to provide nourishment does not appear to me rational, at least not for the present. Whether we could thrive on such food is very doubtful. We are the result of ages of continuous adaptation, and we cannot radically change without unforeseen and, in all probability, disastrous consequences. So uncertain an experiment should not be tried. By far the best way, it seems to me, to meet the ravages of the evil, would be to find ways of increasing the productivity of the soil. With this object the preservation of forests is of an importance which cannot be overestimated, and in this connection, also, the utilization of water-power for purposes of electrical transmission, dispensing in many ways with the necessity of burning wood, and tending thereby to forest preservation, is to be strongly advocated. But there are limits in the improvement to be effected in this and similar ways. {{pb}} To increase materially the productivity of the soil, it must be more effectively fertilized by artificial means. The question of food-production resolves itself, then, into the question how best to fertilize the soil. What it is that made the soil is still a mystery. To explain its origin is probably equivalent to explaining the origin of life itself. The rocks, disintegrated by moisture and heat and wind and weather, were in themselves not capable of maintaining life. Some unexplained condition arose, and some new principle came into effect, and the first layer capable of sustaining low organisms, like mosses was formed. These, by their life and death, added more of the life sustaining quality to the soil, and higher organisms could then subsist, and so on and on, until at last highly developed plant and animal life could flourish. But though the theories are, even now, not in agreement as to how fertilization is effected, it is a fact, only too well ascertained, that the soil cannot indefinitely sustain life, and some way must be found to supply it with the substances which have been abstracted from it by the plants. The chief and most valuable among these substances are compounds of nitrogen, and the cheap production of these is, therefore, the key for the solution of the all-important food problem. Our atmosphere contains an inexhaustible amount of nitrogen, and could we but oxidize it and produce these compounds, an incalculable benefit for mankind would follow. {{pb}} Long ago this idea took a powerful hold on the imagination of scientific men, but an efficient means for accomplishing this result could not be devised. The problem was rendered extremely difficult by the extraordinary inertness of the nitrogen, which refuses to combine even with oxygen. But here electricity comes to our aid: the dormant affinities of the element are awakened by an electric current of the proper quality. As a lump of coal which has been in contact with oxygen for centuries without burning will combine with it when once ignited, so nitrogen, excited by electricity, will burn. I did not succeed, however, in producing electrical discharges exciting very effectively the atmospheric nitrogen until a comparatively recent date, although I showed, in May, 1891, in a scientific lecture, a novel form of discharge or electrical flame named "St. Elmo's hotfire," which, besides being capable of generating ozone in abundance, also possessed, as I pointed out on that occasion, distinctly the quality of exciting chemical affinities. This discharge or flame was then only three or four inches long, its chemical action was likewise very feeble, and consequently the process of oxidation of nitrogen was wasteful. How to intensify this action was the question. Evidently electric currents of a peculiar kind had to be produced in order to render the process of nitrogen combustion more efficient.
* There can be no doubt that, of all the frictional resistances, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance. Not without reason said that man of wisdom, Buddha: "Ignorance is the greatest evil in the world." The friction which results from ignorance, and which is greatly increased owing to the numerous languages and nationalities, can be reduced only by the spread of knowledge and the unification of the heterogeneous elements of humanity. No effort could be better spent. But however ignorance may have retarded the onward movement of man in times past, it is certain that, nowadays, negative forces have become of greater importance. Among these there is one of far greater moment than any other. It is called organized warfare. When we consider the millions of individuals, often the ablest in mind and body, the flower of humanity, who are compelled to a life of inactivity and unproductiveness, the immense sums of money daily required for the maintenance of armies and war apparatus, representing ever so much of human energy, all the effort uselessly spent in the production of arms and implements of destruction, the loss of life and the fostering of a barbarous spirit, we are appalled at the inestimable loss to mankind which the existence of these deplorable conditions must involve. What can we do to combat best this great evil?
* It has been argued that the perfection of guns of great destructive power will stop [[warfare]]. So I myself thought for a long time, but now I believe this to be a profound mistake. Such developments will greatly modify, but not arrest it. On the contrary, I think that every new arm that is invented, every new departure that is made in this direction, merely invites new talent and skill, engages new effort, offers new incentive, and so only gives a fresh impetus to further development. Think of the discovery of gun-powder. Can we conceive of any more radical departure than was effected by this innovation? Let us imagine ourselves living in that period: would we not have thought then that warfare was at an end, when the armor of the knight became an object of ridicule, when bodily strength and skill, meaning so much before, became of comparatively little value? Yet gunpowder did not stop warfare: quite the opposite it acted as a most powerful incentive.
* As regards the security of a country against foreign invasion, it is interesting to note that it depends only on the relative, and not the absolute, number of the individuals or magnitude of the forces, and that, if every country should reduce the war-force in the same ratio, the security would remain unaltered. An international agreement with the object of reducing to a minimum the war-force which, in view of the present still imperfect education of the masses, is absolutely indispensable, would, therefore, seem to be the first rational step to take toward diminishing the force retarding human movement.
* So we find that the three possible solutions of the great problem of increasing human energy are answered by the three words: food, peace, work. Many a year I have thought and pondered, lost myself in speculations and theories, considering man as a mass moved by a force, viewing his inexplicable movement in the light of a mechanical one, and applying the simple principles of mechanics to the analysis of the same until I arrived at these solutions, only to realize that they were taught to me in my early childhood. These three words sound the key-notes of the Christian religion. Their scientific meaning and purpose now clear to me: food to increase the mass, peace to diminish the retarding force, and work to increase the force accelerating human movement. These are the only three solutions which are possible of that great problem, and all of them have one object, one end, namely, to increase human energy. When we recognize this, we cannot help wondering how profoundly wise and scientific and how immensely practical the Christian religion is, and in what a marked contrast it stands in this respect to other religions. It is unmistakably the result of practical experiment and scientific observation which have extended through the ages, while other religions seem to be the outcome of merely abstract reasoning. Work, untiring effort, useful and accumulative, with periods of rest and recuperation aiming at higher efficiency, is its chief and ever-recurring command. Thus we are inspired both by Christianity and Science to do our utmost toward increasing the performance of mankind. This most important of human problems I shall now specifically consider.
* The ultimate results of development in these three directions are: first, the burning of coal by a cold process in a battery; second, the efficient utilization of the energy of the ambient medium; and, third the transmission without wires of electrical energy to any distance. In whatever way these results may be arrived at, their practical application will necessarily involve an extensive use of iron, and this invaluable metal will undoubtedly be an essential element in the further development along these three lines. If we succeed in burning coal by a cold process and thus obtain electrical energy in an efficient and inexpensive manner, we shall require in many practical uses of this energy electric motors that is, iron. If we are successful in deriving energy from the ambient medium, we shall need, both in the obtainment and utilization of the energy, machinery again, iron. If we realize the transmission of electrical energy without wires on an industrial scale, we shall be compelled to use extensively electric generators once more, iron. Whatever we may do, iron will probably be the chief means of accomplishment in the near future, possibly more so than in the past. How long its reign will last is difficult to tell, for even now aluminium is looming up as a threatening competitor. But for the time being, next to providing new resources of energy, it is of the greatest importance to making improvements in the manufacture and utilization of iron. Great advances are possible in these latter directions, which, if brought about, would enormously increase the useful performance of mankind. {{pb}} Iron is by far the most important factor in modern progress. It contributes more than any other industrial product to the force accelerating human movement. So general is the use of this metal, and so intimately is it connected with all that concerns our life, that it has become as indispensable to us as the very air we breathe. Its name is synonymous with usefulness. But, however great the influence of iron may be on the present human development, it does not add to the force urging man onward nearly as much as it might. First of all, its manufacture as now carried on is connected with an appalling waste of fuel that is, waste of energy. Then, again, only a part of all the iron produced is applied for useful purposes. A good part of it goes to create frictional resistances, while still another large part is the means of developing negative forces greatly retarding human movement. Thus the negative force of war is almost wholly represented in iron.
* Aluminium, however, will not stop at downing copper. Before many years have passed it will be engaged in a fierce struggle with iron, and in the latter it will find an adversary not easy to conquer. The issue of the contest will largely depend on whether iron shall be indispensable in electric machinery. This the future alone can decide. The magnetism as exhibited in iron is an isolated phenomenon in nature. What it is that makes this metal behave so radically different from all other materials in this respect has not yet been ascertained, though many theories have been suggested. As regards magnetism, the molecules of the various bodies behave like hollow beams partly filled with a heavy fluid and balanced in the middle in the manner of a see-saw. Evidently some disturbing influence exists in nature which causes each molecule, like such a beam, to tilt either one or the other way. If the molecules are tilted one way, the body is magnetic; if they are tilted the other way, the body is non-magnetic; but both positions are stable, as they would be in the case of the hollow beam, owing to the rush of the fluid to the lower end. Now, the wonderful thing is that the molecules of all known bodies went one way, while those of iron went the other way. This metal, it would seem, has an origin entirely different from that of the rest of the globe. It is highly improbable that we shall discover some other and cheaper material which will equal or surpass iron in magnetic qualities.
* A far better way, however, to obtain power would be to avail ourselves of the sun's rays, which beat the earth incessantly and supply energy at a maximum rate of over four million horsepower per square mile. Although the average energy received per square mile in any locality during the year is only a small fraction of that amount, yet an inexhaustible source of power would be opened up by the discovery of some efficient method of utilizing the energy of the rays. The only rational way known to me at the time when I began the study of this subject was to employ some kind of heat- or thermodynamic-engine, driven by a volatile fluid evaporate in a boiler by the heat of the rays. But closer investigation of this method, and calculation, showed that, notwithstanding the apparently vast amount of energy received from the sun's rays, only a small fraction of that energy could be actually utilized in this manner. Furthermore, the energy supplied through the sun's radiations is periodical, and the same limitations as in the use of the windmill I found to exist here also. After a long study of this mode of obtaining motive power from the sun, taking into account the necessarily large bulk of the boiler, the low efficiency of the heat-engine, the additional cost of storing the energy and other drawbacks, I came to the conclusion that the "solar engine," a few instances excepted, could not be industrially exploited with success. {{pb}} Another way of getting motive power from the medium without consuming any material would be to utilize the heat contained in the earth, the water, or the air for driving an engine. It is a well-known fact that the interior portions of the globe are very hot, the temperature rising, as observations show, with the approach to the center at the rate of approximately 1 degree C. for every hundred feet of depth. The difficulties of sinking shafts and placing boilers at depths of, say, twelve thousand feet, corresponding to an increase in temperature of about 120 degrees C., are not insuperable, and we could certainly avail ourselves in this way of the internal heat of the globe. In fact, it would not be necessary to go to any depth at all in order to derive energy from the stored terrestrial heat. The superficial layers of the earth and the air strata close to the same are at a temperature sufficiently high to evaporate some extremely volatile substances, which we might use in our boilers instead of water. There is no doubt that a vessel might be propelled on the ocean by an engine driven by such a volatile fluid, no other energy being used but the heat abstracted from the water. But the amount of power which could be obtained in this manner would be, without further provision, very small. {{pb}} Electricity produced by natural causes is another source of energy which might be rendered available. Lightning discharges involve great amounts of electrical energy, which we could utilize by transforming and storing it. Some years ago I made known a method of electrical transformation which renders the first part of this task easy, but the storing of the energy of lightning discharges will be difficult to accomplish. It is well known, furthermore, that electric currents circulate constantly through the earth, and that there exists between the earth and any air stratum a difference of electrical pressure, which varies in proportion to the height.
* When I advanced this system of telegraphy, my mind was dominated by the idea of effecting communication to any distance through the earth or environing medium, the practical consummation of which I considered of transcendent importance, chiefly on account of the moral effect which it could not fail to produce universally. As the first effort to this end I proposed at that time, to employ relay-stations with tuned circuits, in the hope of making thus practicable signaling over vast distances, even with apparatus of very moderate power then at my command. I was confident, however, that with properly designed machinery signals could be transmitted to any point of the globe, no matter what the distance, without the necessity of using such intermediate stations. I gained this conviction through the discovery of a singular electrical phenomenon, which I described early in 1892, in lectures I delivered before some scientific societies abroad, and which I have called a "rotating brush." This is a bundle of light which is formed, under certain conditions, in a vacuum-bulb, and which is of a sensitiveness to magnetic and electric influences bordering, so to speak, on the supernatural. This light-bundle is rapidly rotated by the earth's magnetism as many as twenty thousand times pre second, the rotation in these parts being opposite to what it would be in the southern hemisphere, while in the region of the magnetic equator it should not rotate at all. In its most sensitive state, which is difficult to obtain, it is responsive to electric or magnetic influences to an incredible degree. The mere stiffening of the muscles of the arm and consequent slight electrical change in the body of an observer standing at some distance from it, will perceptibly affect it. When in this highly sensitive state it is capable of indicating the slightest magnetic and electric changes taking place in the earth. The observation of this wonderful phenomenon impressed me strongly that communication at any distance could be easily effected by its means, provided that apparatus could be perfected capable of producing an electric or magnetic change of state, however small, in the terrestrial globe or environing medium.
* Another of these reasons was that I was led to recognize the transmission of electrical energy to any distance through the media as by far the best solution of the great problem of harnessing the sun's energy for the uses of man. For a long time I was convinced that such a transmission on an industrial scale, could never be realized, but a discovery which I made changed my view. I observed that under certain conditions the atmosphere, which is normally a high insulator, assumes conducting properties, and so becomes capable of conveying any amount of electrical energy. But the difficulties in the way of a practical utilization of this discovery for the purpose of transmitting electrical energy without wires were seemingly insuperable. Electrical pressures of many millions of volts had to be produced and handled; generating apparatus of a novel kind, capable of withstanding the immense electrical stresses, had to be invented and perfected, and a complete safety against the dangers of the high-tension currents had to be attained in the system before its practical introduction could be even thought of. All this could not be done in a few weeks or months, or even years. The work required patience and constant application, but the improvements came, though slowly. Other valuable results were, however, arrived at in the course of this long-continued work, of which I shall endeavor to give a brief account, enumerating the chief advances as they were successively effected. {{pb}} The discovery of the conducting properties of the air, though unexpected, was only a natural result of experiments in a special field which I had carried on for some years before. It was, I believe, during 1889 that certain possibilities offered by extremely rapid electrical oscillations determined me to design a number of special machines adapted for their investigation. Owing to the peculiar requirements, the construction of these machines was very difficult, and consumed much time and effort; but my work on them was generously rewarded, for I reached by their means several novel and important results. One of the earliest observations I made with these new machines was that electrical oscillations of an extremely high rate act in an extraordinary manner upon the human organism. Thus, for instance, I demonstrated that powerful electrical discharges of several hundred thousand volts, which at that time were considered absolutely deadly, could be passed through the body without inconvenience or hurtful consequences. These oscillations produced other specific physiological effects, which, upon my announcement, were eagerly taken up by skilled physicians and further investigated. This new field has proved itself fruitful beyond expectation, and in the few years which have passed since, it has been developed to such an extent that it now forms a legitimate and important department of medical science. Many results, thought impossible at that time, are now readily obtainable with these oscillations, and many experiments undreamed of then can now be readily performed by their means. I still remember with pleasure how, nine years ago, I passed the discharge of a powerful induction-coil through my body to demonstrate before a scientific society the comparative harmlessness of very rapidly vibrating electric currents, and I can still recall the astonishment of my audience. I would now undertake, with much less apprehension that I had in that experiment, to transmit through my body with such currents the entire electrical energy of the dynamos now working at Niagara forty or fifty thousand horse-power. I have produced electrical oscillations which were of such intensity that when circulating through my arms and chest they have melted wires which joined my hands, and still I felt no inconvenience. I have energized with such oscillations a loop of heavy copper wire so powerfully that masses of metal, and even objects of an electrical resistance specifically greater than that of human tissue brought close to or placed within the loop, were heated to a high temperature and melted, often with the violence of an explosion, and yet into this very space in which this terribly-destructive turmoil was going on I have repeatedly thrust my head without feeling anything or experiencing injurious after-effects. {{pb}} Another observation was that by means of such oscillations light could be produced in a novel and more economical manner, which promised to lead to an ideal system of electric illumination by vacuum-tubes, dispensing with the necessity of renewal of lamps or incandescent filaments, and possibly also with the use of wires in the interior of buildings. The efficiency of this light increases in proportion to the rate of the oscillations, and its commercial success is, therefore, dependent on the economical production of electrical vibrations of transcending rates. In this direction I have met with gratifying success of late, and the practical introduction of this new system of illumination is not far off. {{pb}} The investigations led to many other valuable observations and results, one of the more important of which was the demonstration of the practicability of supplying electrical energy through one wire without return. At first I was able to transmit in this novel manner only very small amounts of electrical energy, but in this line also my efforts have been rewarded with similar success.
* The photograph shown in Fig. 3 illustrates, as its title explains, an actual transmission of this kind effected with apparatus used in other experiments here described. To what a degree the appliances have been perfected since my first demonstrations early in 1891 before a scientific society, when my apparatus was barely capable of lighting one lamp (which result was considered wonderful), will appear when I state that I have now no difficulty in lighting in this manner four or five hundred lamps, and could light many more. In fact, there is no limit to the amount of energy which may in this way be supplied to operate any kind of electrical device.
* After demonstrating the practicability of this method of transmission, the thought naturally occurred to me to use the earth as a conductor, thus dispensing with all wires. Whatever electricity may be, it is a fact that it behaves like an incompressible fluid, and the earth may be looked upon as an immense reservoir of electricity, which, I thought, could be disturbed effectively by a properly designed electrical machine. Accordingly, my next efforts were directed toward perfecting a special apparatus which would be highly effective in creating a disturbance of electricity in the earth.
* However extraordinary the results shown may appear, they are but trifling compared with those which are attainable by apparatus designed on these same principles. I have produced electrical discharges the actual path of which, from end to end, was probably more than one hundred feet long; but it would not be difficult to reach lengths one hundred times as great. I have produced electrical movements occurring at the rate of approximately one hundred thousand horse-power, but rates of one, five, or ten million horse-power are easily practicable. In these experiments effects were developed incomparably greater than any ever produced by human agencies, and yet these results are but an embryo of what is to be.
* That communication without wires to any point of the globe is practicable with such apparatus would need no demonstration, but through a discovery which I made I obtained absolute certitude. Popularly explained, it is exactly this: When we raise the voice and hear an echo in reply, we know that the sound of the voice must have reached a distant wall, or boundary, and must have been reflected from the same. Exactly as the sound, so an electrical wave is reflected, and the same evidence which is afforded by an echo is offered by an electrical phenomenon known as a "stationary" wave that is, a wave with fixed nodal and ventral regions. Instead of sending sound-vibrations toward a distant wall, I have sent electrical vibrations toward the remote boundaries of the earth, and instead of the wall the earth has replied. In place of an echo I have obtained a stationary electrical wave, a wave reflected from afar. {{pb}} Stationary waves in the earth mean something more than mere telegraphy without wires to any distance. They will enable us to attain many important specific results impossible otherwise. For instance, by their use we may produce at will, from a sending-station, an electrical effect in any particular region of the globe; we may determine the relative position or course of a moving object, such as a vessel at sea, the distance traversed by the same, or its speed; or we may send over the earth a wave of electricity traveling at any rate we desire, from the pace of a turtle up to lightning speed. {{pb}} With these developments we have every reason to anticipate that in a time not very distant most telegraphic messages across the oceans will be transmitted without cables. For short distances we need a "wireless" telephone, which requires no expert operators. The greater the spaces to be bridged, the more rational becomes communication without wires. The cable is not only an easily damaged and costly instrument, but it limits us in the speed of transmission by reason of a certain electrical property inseparable from its construction. A properly designed plant for effecting communication without wires ought to have many times the working capacity of a cable, while it will involve incomparably less expense. Not a long time will pass, I believe, before communication by cable will become obsolete, for not only will signaling by this new method be quicker and cheaper, but also much safer. By using some new means for isolating the messages which I have contrived, an almost perfect privacy can be secured. {{pb}} I have observed the above effects so far only up to a limited distance of about six hundred miles, but inasmuch as there is virtually no limit to the power of the vibrations producible with such an oscillator, I feel quite confident of the success of such a plant for effecting transoceanic communication. Nor is this all. My measurements and calculations have shown that it is perfectly practicable to produce on our globe, by the use of these principles, an electrical movement of such magnitude that, without the slightest doubt, its effect will be perceptible on some of our nearer planets, as Venus and Mars. Thus from mere possibility interplanetary communication has entered the stage of probability. In fact, that we can produce a distinct effect on one of these planets in this novel manner, namely, by disturbing the electrical condition of the earth, is beyond any doubt. This way of effecting such communication is, however, essentially different from all others which have so far been proposed by scientific men. In all the previous instances only a minute fraction of the total energy reaching the planet—as much as it would be possible to concentrate in a reflector could be utilized by the supposed observer in his instrument. But by the means I have developed he would be enabled to concentrate the larger portion of the entire energy transmitted to the planet in his instrument, and the chances of affecting the latter are thereby increased many millionfold. {{pb}} Besides machinery for producing vibrations of the required power, we must have delicate means capable of revealing the effects of feeble influences exerted upon the earth. For such purposes, too, I have perfected new methods. By their use we shall likewise be able, among other things, to detect at considerable distance the presence of an iceberg or other object at sea. By their use, also, I have discovered some terrestrial phenomena still unexplained. That we can send a message to a planet is certain, that we can get an answer is probable: man is not the only being in the Infinite gifted with a mind.
* While I have not, as yet, actually effected a transmission of a considerable amount of energy, such as would be of industrial importance, to a great distance by this new method, I have operated several model plants under exactly the same conditions which will exist in a large plant of this kind, and the practicability of the system is thoroughly demonstrated. The experiments have shown conclusively that, with two terminals maintained at an elevation of not more than thirty thousand to thirty-five thousand feet above sea-level, and with an electrical pressure of fifteen to twenty million volts, the energy of thousands of horse-power can be transmitted over distances which may be hundreds and, if necessary, thousands of miles. I am hopeful, however, that I may be able to reduce very considerably the elevation of the terminals now required, and with this object I am following up an idea which promises such a realization. There is, of course, a popular prejudice against using an electrical pressure of millions of volts, which may cause sparks to fly at distances of hundreds of feet, but, paradoxical as it may seem, the system, as I have described it in a technical publication, offers greater personal safety than most of the ordinary distribution circuits now used in the cities. This is, in a measure, borne out by the fact that, although I have carried on such experiments for a number of years, no injury has been sustained either by me or any of my assistants.
* It is probable that we shall soon have a self-acting heat-engine capable of deriving moderate amounts of energy from the ambient medium. There is also a possibility—though a small oneï—that we may obtain electrical energy direct from the sun. This might be the case if the Maxwellian theory is true, according to which electrical vibrations of all rates should emanate from the sun. I am still investigating this subject. Sir William Crookes has shown in his beautiful invention known as the "radiometer" that rays may produce by impact a mechanical effect, and this may lead to some important revelation as to the utilization of the sun's rays in novel ways. Other sources of energy may be opened up, and new methods of deriving energy from the sun discovered, but none of these or similar achievements would equal in importance the transmission of power to any distance through the medium. I can conceive of no technical advance which would tend to unite the various elements of humanity more effectively than this one, or of one which would more add to and more economize human energy. It would be the best means of increasing the force accelerating the human mass. The mere moral influence of such a radical departure would be incalculable. On the other hand if at any point of the globe energy can be obtained in limited quantities from the ambient medium by means of a self-acting heat-engine or otherwise, the conditions will remain the same as before. Human performance will be increased, but men will remain strangers as they were.
=== A Means for Furthering Peace (1905) ===
:<small>[http://www.tfcbooks.com/tesla/1905-01-07.htm "The Transmission of Electrical Energy Without Wires as a Means for Furthering Peace"] in ''Electrical World and Engineer'' (7 January 1905) <!-- pp. 21–24 --></small>
[[File:2003-32-GravitationalLens.jpg|thumb|We begin to [[think]] cosmically.]]
* Universal [[Peace]], assuming it to be in the fullest sense realizable, might not require eons for its accomplishment, however probable this may appear, judging from the imperceptibly slow growth of all great reformatory ideas of the past. ... Our accepted estimates of the duration of natural metamorphoses, or changes in general, have been thrown in doubt of late. The very foundations of science have been shaken.
* A state of human life vaguely defined by the term "Universal Peace," while a result of cumulative effort through centuries past, might come into existence ''quickly'', not unlike a crystal suddenly forms in a solution which has been slowly prepared. But just as no effect can precede its cause, so this state can never be ''brought'' on by any pact between nations, however solemn. Experience is made before the law is formulated, both are related like cause and effect. So long as we are clearly conscious of the expectation, that peace is to result from such a parliamentary decision, so long have we a conclusive evidence that we are not fit for peace. Only then when we shall feel that such international meetings are mere formal procedures, unnecessary except in so far as they might serve to give definite expression to a common desire, will peace be assured.{{pb}}To judge from current events we must be, as yet, very distant from that blissful goal. It is true that we are proceeding towards it rapidly. There are abundant signs of this progress everywhere. The race enmities and prejudices are decidedly waning.
* We begin to think cosmically. Our sympathetic feelers reach out into the dim distance. The bacteria of the "[[w:Weltschmerz|Weltschmerz]]," are upon us. So far, however, universal harmony has been attained only in a single sphere of international relationship. That is the postal service. Its mechanism is working satisfactorily, but — how remote are we still from that scrupulous respect of the sanctity of the mail bag! And how much farther again is the next milestone on the road to peace — an international judicial service equally reliable as the postal!
* General disarmament being for the present entirely out of question, a proportionate reduction might be recommended. The safety of any country and of the world's commerce depending not on the absolute, but relative amount of war material, this would be evidently the first reasonable step to take towards universal economy and peace. But it would be a hopeless task to establish an equitable basis of adjustment. Population, naval strength, force of army, commercial importance, water-power, or any other natural resource, actual or prospective, are equally unsatisfactory standards to consider.
* To conquer by sheer force is becoming harder and harder every day. Defensive is getting continuously the advantage of offensive, as we progress in the satanic science of destruction. The new art of controlling electrically the movements and operations of individualized automata at a distance without wires, will soon enable any country to render its coasts impregnable against all naval attacks.
* The distance at which it can strike, and the destructive power of such a ''quasi-intelligent'' machine being for all practical purposes unlimited, the gun, the armor of the battleship and the wall of the fortress, lose their import and significance. One can prophesy with a Daniel's confidence that skilled electricians will settle the battles of the near future. But this is the least. In its effect upon war and peace, electricity offers still much greater and more wonderful possibilities. To stop war by the perfection of engines of destruction alone, might consume centuries and centuries. Other means must be employed to hasten the end.
* Fights between individuals, as well as governments and nations, invariably result from misunderstandings in the broadest interpretation of this term. Misunderstandings are always caused by the inability of appreciating one another's point of view. This again is due to the ignorance of those concerned, not so much in their ''own'', as in their ''mutual'' fields. The peril of a clash is aggravated by a more or less predominant sense of combativeness, posed by every human being. To resist this inherent fighting tendency the best way is to dispel ignorance of the doings of others by a systematic spread of general knowledge. With this object in view, it is most important to aid exchange of thought and intercourse.
[[File:CL0024+17.jpg|thumb|right|Our senses enable us to perceive only a minute portion of the outside world.]]
* Mutual understanding would be immensely facilitated by the use of one universal tongue. But which shall it be, is the great question. At present it looks as if the English might be adopted as such, though it must be admitted that it is not the most suitable. Each language, of course, excels in some feature.... A practical answer to that momentous question must perforce be found in times to come, for it is manifest that by adopting one common language the onward march of man would be prodigiously quickened. I do not believe that an artificial concoction, like Volapuk, will ever find universal acceptance, however time-saving it might be. That would be contrary to human nature. Languages have grown into our hearts.
*The gift of mental power comes from God divine being and if we concentrate our my minds on that truth we become in tune with this great power, my Mother had taught me to seek all truths in the bible.
* Our senses enable us to perceive only a minute portion of the outside world. Our hearing extends to a small distance. Our sight is impeded by intervening bodies and shadows. To know each other we must reach beyond the sphere of our sense perceptions. We must transmit our intelligence, travel, transport the materials and transfer the energies necessary for our existence. Following this thought we now realize, forcibly enough to dispense with argument, that of all other conquests of man, without exception, that which is most desirable, which would be most helpful in the establishment of universal peaceful relations is — the complete ''{{smallcaps|annihilation of distance}}''. {{pb}} To achieve this wonder, electricity is the one and only means. Inestimable good has already been done by the use of this all powerful agent, the nature of which is still a mystery. Our astonishment at what has been accomplished would be uncontrollable were it not held in check by the expectation of greater miracles to come. That one, the greatest of all, can be viewed in three aspects: ''Dissemination of intelligence, transportation, and transmission of power.''
[[File:SourTyre FemaleLebaneseProtestor-MobilePhone RomanDeckert22102019.jpg|thumb|Within a few years a simple and inexpensive device, readily carried about, will enable one to receive on land or sea the principal news, to hear a speech, a lecture, a song or play of a musical instrument, conveyed from any other region of the globe.]]
* Within a few years a simple and inexpensive device, readily carried about, will enable one to receive on land or sea the principal news, to hear a speech, a lecture, a song or play of a musical instrument, conveyed from any other region of the globe. The invention will also meet the crying need for cheap transmission to great distances, more especially over the oceans. The small working capacity of the cables and the excessive cost of messages are now fatal impediments in the dissemination of intelligence which can only be removed by transmission without wires.
* The ideal solution of the problem of transportation will be arrived at only when the complete annihilation of distance in the transmission of power in large amounts shall have become a commercial reality. That day we shall invade the domain of the bird. When the vexing problem of aerial navigation, which has defied his attempts for ages, is solved, man will advance with giant strides.
* That electrical energy can be economically transmitted without wires to any terrestrial distance, I have unmistakably established in numerous observations, experiments and measurements, qualitative and quantitative. These have demonstrated that is practicable to distribute power from a central plant in unlimited amounts, with a loss not exceeding ''a small fraction of one per cent'', in the transmission, even to the greatest distance, twelve thousand miles — to the opposite end of the globe.
[[File:Lightning simulator questacon05.jpg|thumb|right|Whatever the [[future]] may bring, the universal application of these great principles is fully assured, though it may be long in coming.]]
* I have obtained... spark discharges extending through more than one hundred feet and carrying currents of one thousand amperes, electromotive forces approximating twenty million volts, chemically active streamers covering areas of several thousand square feet, and electrical disturbances in the natural media ''surpassing'' those caused by lightning, in intensity. {{pb}} Whatever the future may bring, the universal application of these great principles is fully assured, though it may be long in coming. With the opening of the first power plant, incredulity will give way to wonderment, and this to ingratitude, as ever before.
* It should be borne in mind that electrical energy obtained by harnessing a waterfall is probably fifty times more effective than fuel energy. Since this is the most perfect way of rendering the sun's energy available, the direction of the future material development of man is clearly indicated.
* Electric current, after passing into the earth travels to the diametrically opposite region of the same and rebounding from there, returns to its point of departure with virtually undiminished force. The outgoing and returning currents clash and form nodes and loops similar to those observable on a vibrating cord. To traverse the entire distance of about twenty-five thousand miles, equal to the circumference of the globe, the current requires a certain time interval, which I have approximately ascertained. In yielding this knowledge, nature has revealed one of its most precious secrets, of inestimable consequence to man. So astounding are the facts in this connection, that it would seem as though the Creator, himself, had electrically designed this planet just for the purpose of enabling us to achieve wonders which, before my discovery, could not have been conceived by the wildest imagination.
[[File:Nikola Tesla by Sarony c1898.jpg|thumb|All that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated, suppressed — only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.]]
* The economic transmission of power without wires is of all-surpassing importance to man. By its means he will gain complete mastery of the air, the sea and the desert. It will enable him to dispense with the necessity of mining, pumping, transporting and burning fuel, and so do away with innumerable causes of sinful waste. By its means, he will obtain at any place and in any desired amount, the energy of remote waterfalls — to drive his machinery, to construct his canals, tunnels and highways, to manufacture the materials of his want, his clothing and food, to heat and light his home — year in, year out, ever and ever, by day and by night. It will make the living glorious sun his obedient, toiling slave. It will bring peace and harmony on earth.
* It is not a [[dream]], it is a ''simple feat of scientific [[electrical engineering]]'', only expensive — blind, faint-hearted, doubting world! ... Humanity is not yet sufficiently advanced to be willingly led by the discover's keen searching sense. But who knows? Perhaps it is better in this present world of ours that a revolutionary idea or invention instead of being helped and patted, be hampered and ill-treated in its adolescence — by want of means, by selfish interest, pedantry, stupidity and ignorance; that it be attacked and stifled; that it pass through bitter trials and tribulations, through the heartless strife of commercial existence. So do we get our light. So all that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated, suppressed — only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.

[[File:Twain_in_Tesla_Lab.jpg|thumb|right|What has the [[future]] in store for this strange being, born of a breath, of perishable tissue, yet [[Immortal]], with his powers fearful and Divine?]]
* According to an adopted theory, every ponderable atom is differentiated from a tenuous fluid, filling all space merely by spinning motion, as a whirl of water in a calm lake. By being set in movement this fluid, the ether, becomes gross matter. Its movement arrested, the primary substance reverts to its normal state. It appears, then, possible for man through harnessed energy of the medium and suitable agencies for starting and stopping ether whirls to cause matter to form and disappear. At his command, almost without effort on his part, old worlds would vanish and new ones would spring into being. He could alter the size of this planet, control its seasons, adjust its distance from the sun, guide it on its eternal journey along any path he might choose, through the depths of the universe. He could make planets collide and produce his suns and stars, his heat and light; he could originate life in all its infinite forms. '''To cause at will the birth and death of matter would be man's grandest deed, which would give him the mastery of physical creation, make him fulfill his ultimate destiny.'''
;Version 2. "Man's Greatest Achievement", ''New York American'' (6 July 1930) [http://www.tesla-coil-builder.com/Articles/july_6_1930.htm]
* When a child is born its sense-organs are brought in contact with the outer world. The waves of sound, heat, and light beat upon its feeble body, its sensitive nerve-fibres quiver, the muscles contract and relax in obedience: a gasp, a breath, and in this act a marvelous little engine, of inconceivable delicacy and complexity of construction, unlike any on earth, is hitched to the wheel-work of the Universe.
* The little engine labors and grows, performs more and more involved operations, becomes sensitive to ever subtler influences and now there manifests itself in the fully developed being — ''Man'' — a desire mysterious, inscrutable and irresistible: to imitate nature, to create, to work himself the wonders he perceives. {{pb}} Inspired to this task he searches, discovers and invents, designs and constructs, and covers with monuments of beauty, grandeur and awe, the star of his birth. He descends into the bowels of the globe to bring forth its hidden treasures and to unlock its immense imprisoned energies for his use. He invades the dark depths of the ocean and the azure regions of the sky. He peers in the innermost nooks and recesses of molecular structure and lays bare to his gaze worlds infinitely remote. He subdues and puts to his service the fierce, devastating spark of [[w:Prometheus|Prometheus]], the titanic forces of the waterfall, the wind and the tide. He tames the thundering bolt of Jove and annihilates time and space. He makes the great Sun itself his obedient toiling slave. Such is his power and might that the heavens reverberate and the whole earth trembles by the mere sound of his voice.
* What has the future in store for this strange being, born of a breath, of perishable tissue, yet Immortal, with his powers fearful and Divine? What magic will be wrought by him in the end? What is to be his greatest deed, his crowning achievement? {{pb}} Long ago he recognized that all perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or a tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the Akasha or luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life-giving Prana or Creative Force, calling into existence, in never ending cycles, all things and phenomena. The primary substance, thrown into infinitesimal whirls of prodigious velocity, becomes gross matter; the force subsiding, the motion ceases and matter disappears, reverting to the primary substance. {{pb}} Can man control this grandest, most awe-inspiring of all processes in nature? Can he harness her inexhaustible energies to perform all their functions at his bidding? more still cause them to operate simply by the force of his will? {{pb}} If he could do this, he would have powers almost unlimited and supernatural. At his command, with but a slight effort on his part, old worlds would disappear and new ones of his planning would spring into being. He could fix, solidify and preserve the ethereal shapes of his imagining, the fleeting visions of his dreams. He could express all the creations of his mind on any scale, in forms concrete and imperishable. He could alter the size of this planet, control its seasons, guide it along any path he might choose through the depths of the Universe. He could cause planets to collide and produce his suns and stars, his heat and light. He could originate and develop life in all its infinite forms.
* To create and to annihilate material substance, cause it to aggregate in forms according to his desire, would be the supreme manifestation of the power of Man's mind, his most complete triumph over the physical world, his crowning achievement, which would place him beside his Creator, make him fulfill his Ultimate Destiny.

* While I am not a believer in the orthodox sense, I commend religion, first, because every individual should have some ideal — religious, artistic, scientific, or humanitarian — to give significance to his life. Second, because all the great religions contain wise prescriptions relating to the conduct of life, which hold good now as they did when they were promulgated.
* There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine. Nothing enters our minds or determines our actions which is not directly or indirectly a response to stimuli beating upon our sense organs from without. Owing to the similarity of our construction and the sameness of our environment, we respond in like manner to similar stimuli, and from the concordance of our reactions, understanding is born. In the course of ages, mechanisms of infinite complexity are developed, but what we call "soul " or "spirit," is nothing more than the sum of the functionings of the body. When this functioning ceases, the "soul" or the "spirit" ceases likewise.
* The year 2100 will see [[eugenics]] universally established. In past ages, the law governing the survival of the fittest roughly weeded out the less desirable strains. Then man's new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. As a result, we continue to keep alive and to breed the unfit. The only method compatible with our notions of civilization and the race is to prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization and the deliberate guidance of the mating instinct, Several European countries and a number of states of the American Union sterilize the criminal and the insane. This is not sufficient. The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny. A century from now it will no more occur to a normal person to mate with a person eugenically unfit than to marry a habitual criminal.

Tesla was the first man to lift his eyes high enough to see that the rarified stratum of atmosphere above our earth was destined to play an important role in the radio telegraphy of the future, a fact which had to obtrude itself on the attention of most of us before we saw it. But Tesla also perceived what many of us did not in those days, namely, the currents which flowed way from the base of the antenna over the surface of the earth and in the earth itself.
** [[w:John Stone Stone|John Stone Stone]] in "John Stone Stone on Nikola Tesla's Priority in Radio and Continuous-Wave Radiofrequency Apparatus" (1915)
* Tesla, with his almost preternatural insight into alternating current phenomenon that had enabled him some years before to revolutionize the art of electric power transmission through the invention of the rotary field motor, knew how to make resonance serve, not merely the role of a microscope to make visible the electric oscillations, as Hertz had done, but he made it serve the role of a stereopticon to render spectacular to large audiences the phenomena of electric oscillations and high frequency currents....He did more to excite interest and create an intelligent understanding of these phenomena in the years 1891–1893 than anyone else, and '''the more we learn about high frequency phenomena, resonance, and radiation today, the nearer we find ourselves approaching what we at one time were inclined, through a species of intellectual myopia, to regard as the fascinating but fantastical speculations of a man whom we are now compelled, in the light of modern experience and knowledge, to admit was a prophet.''' But Tesla was no mere lecturer and prophet. He saw to the fulfillment of his prophesies and it has been difficult to make any but unimportant improvements in the art of radio-telegraphy without traveling part of the way at least, along a trail blazed by this pioneer who, though eminently ingenious, practical, and successful in the apparatus he devised and constructed, was so far ahead of his time that the best of us then mistook him for a dreamer. I never came anywhere near having an appreciation of what Mr. Tesla had done in this art until a very late date...

* Seek thee out...the diamond...the diamond in the rough. ''[echoes]''
* Proceed. Touch nothing but the lamp.

== The Peddler ==
* ''[singing]'' Oh I come from a land from a faraway place / Where the caravan camels roam / Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense (soundtrack version: Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face) / It's barbaric, but hey...it's home! / When the wind's from the east / And the sun's from the west / And the sand in the glass is right / Come on down, stop on by / Hop a carpet and fly / To another Arabian night! / Arabian nights / Like Arabian days / More often than not / Are hotter than hot / In a lot of good ways / Arabian nights / 'Neath Arabian moons / A fool off his guard / Could fall-and-fall hard / Out there on the dunes. ''[first lines]'' Ah, salaam and good evening to you worthy friend. Please, please, come closer... ''[camera pushes in on his face squishing it]'' Ah uh, too close, a little too close. ''[Camera pulls out]'' There. Welcome to Agrabah. City of mystery, of enchantment, ''[pulls a bag off of the camel and unrolls it to reveal a merchant's stand]'' and the finest merchandise this side of the river Jordan, on sale today, come on down! ''[chuckles]'' Look at this! Yes! Combination hookah and coffee maker, also makes Julienne fries. Will not break, will not... ''[breaks apart]'' it broke. ''[toss it away]'' Ooh! Look at this! I have never seen one of these intact before. This is the famous Dead Sea Tupperware. Listen. ''[lifts cover slightly and blows a raspberry]'' Ah, still good. ''[the camera pans to the right]'' Wait, don't go! I can see that you're only interested in the exceptionally rare. I think then, you would be most rewarded to consider...this. ''[pulls out an oil lamp]'' Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts. This is no ordinary lamp! It once changed the course of a young man's life. A young man who liked this lamp was more than what he seemed: a diamond in the rough. Perhaps you would like to hear the tale? ''[pours sand from the lamp into his hand, and throws it into the air which form into stars which transition into the next scene]'' It begins on a dark night, where a dark man waits, with a dark purpose.

* '''Portly Agrabah Woman''': I'd blame parents, except he hasn't got 'em.

:'''Aladdin''': ''[singing]'' Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat / Tell you all about it when I got the time / One jump ahead of the slowpokes / One skip ahead of my doom / Next time, gonna use a nom de plume.

:''[A man sleeping on a bed of nails, of course one extremely large guard jumps on him]''
:'''Guard''': Stop, thief!
:'''Man''': Vandal!
:'''Aladdin''': Abu!
:'''Woman''': Scandal!
:'''Aladdin''': ''[singing]'' Let's not be too hasty.
:'''Fat Lady''': Still, I think he's rather tasty.
:'''Aladdin''': ''[singing]'' Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat / Otherwise, we'd get along.
:'''Guards''': Wrong!
:'''Razoul''': Get him!
:''[The guards chase Aladdin and Abu run across a flaming pit, followed by guards who hop up and down, screaming in pain as they cross the rocks. Aladdin and Abu pass a sword swallower, then Abu goes back, pulls the sword out of the swallower's mouth]''

:''[Aladdin breaks the bread in two and gives half to Abu, who begins to eat. But Aladdin looks over and sees two young children rummaging through the garbage for food. The girl sees him, then drops her find and tries to hide. Aladdin looks at them, then the bread, then at Abu]''
:'''Abu''': Uh-oh!
:''[Abu takes a big bite of his food, but Aladdin gets up and walks over to the children. The girl pulls her brother back]''
:'''Aladdin''': Here, go on...take it.
:''[The children giggle with delight. Abu tries to swallow his bite, then looks guilty. He walks over to the children and offers his bread to them. In delight, they pet him on the head]''
:'''Abu''': Ah, don't. Huh?
:''[Abu sees Aladdin walking into the daylight, where there is a parade going on. Aladdin peers over the shoulders of the villagers before see Prince Achmed rides on a horse]''
:'''Villager #1''': On his way to the palace, I suppose.
:'''Villager #2''': Another suitor for the princess.
:''[Aladdin is startled as the two children come running out from the alley. The boy runs out in front of Achmed's horse neighs]''
:'''Prince Achmed''': ''[first words]'' Out of my way, you filthy brat! ''[ropes whip]''
:'''Aladdin''': Hey, if I were as rich as you, I could afford some manners.
:'''Prince Achmed''': ''[Aladdin throws a rope him]'' Oh, I teach you some manners!
:''[He slaps Aladdin falls down on his mud and the citizens laugh]''
:'''Aladdin''': Look at that, Abu. It's not every day you see a horse with two rear ends!
:''[Achmed stops and turns back to Aladdin]''
:'''Prince Achmed''': You are a worthless street rat. You were born a street rat, you'll die a street rat, and only your fleas will mourn you.
:''[Aladdin angrily rushes Achmed, but slam the doors to the palace shut on his face]''
:'''Aladdin''': I'm not worthless. And I don't have fleas. Come on, Abu. Let's go home. ''[singing]'' Riffraff, street rat / I don't buy that / If only they'd look closer / Would they see a poor boy? / No siree / They'd find out, there's so much more to me. ''[speaking]'' Someday, Abu. Things are gonna change. We'll be rich, live in a palace, and never have any problems at all.

:''[The next morning, inside the Sultan's chamber, the door slam breaks the moment and Prince Achmed storms in, missing the part of his pants and underwear]''
:'''Prince Achmed''': I've never been so insulted!
:'''Sultan''': ''[to Achmed]'' Oh, Achmed! You're not leaving so soon, are you?
:'''Prince Achmed''': ''[last words]'' Good luck marrying her off!
:'''Sultan''': ''[exasperated]'' Oh, Jasmine? Jasmine? Jasmine?
:''[The Sultan angrily goes off into the garden looking for his daughter. He finds her, but is interrupted by Rajah, Jasmine's pet tiger growling, fur bristling protectively. Rajah has a piece of Achmed's undershorts in his mouth. The Sultan grabs the cloth and yanks it out of Rajah's mouth]''
:'''Sultan''': Confound it, Rajah! ''[angrily brandishes the piece of Achmed's clothing]'' So, this is why Prince Achmed stormed out!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Oh, Father. Rajah was just playing with him, weren't you, Rajah? You were just playing with that overdressed, self-absorbed Prince Achmed, weren't you? ''[Sultan angry]'' Ahem...
:'''Sultan''': You have got to stop rejecting every suitor who comes to call, dearest. The law says that you...
:'''Princess Jasmine and Sultan''': ...must be married to a Prince...
:'''Sultan''': ...by your next birthday.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': The law is wrong.
:'''Sultan''': You've got only three more days!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': I hate being forced into this, Father. I want it to be for love, if I do marry.
:'''Sultan''': Not only is it this law, Jasmine. I'm not going to be around forever, and I just want to make sure you're provided for, taken care of.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Try to understand, please. I've never done a thing on my own. ''[Jasmine swirls her finger in a water of the pond, pets the fish]'' I've never had any real friends. ''[Rajah looks up at Jasmine and growls]'' Except you, Rajah. ''[Satisfied, Rajah goes back to sleep and Jasmine stands sill]'' I've never even been outside of the palace walls.
:'''Sultan''': But, you're a Princess, Jasmine.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[sighs in frustration]'' Then, maybe I don't want to be a Princess any more. ''[She splashes the water]''
:'''Sultan''': Oooh! Allah forbid you guys should have any daughters! ''[Rajah looks up at Jasmine for a second. Jasmine goes to the dove cage and yanks open the door. The birds fly away into freedom. She looks up]''

:''[Inside the Sultan's chambers]''
:'''Sultan''': I don't know where she gets it from. Her mother wasn't nearly so picky.
:''[A shadow falls over him. The Sultan looks up startled and sees Jafar]''
:'''Sultan''': Ooh, oh. Ah, Jafar, my most trusted advisor. I am in desperate need of your wisdom.
:'''Jafar''': My life is but to serve you, my lord. ''[bows]''
:'''Sultan''': It's this suitor business, Jasmine refuses to choose a husband, I'm at my wit's-end.
:'''Iago''': Awk, wit's-end.
:'''Sultan''': Oh, ha ha. Have a cracker, pretty Polly!
:''[The Sultan pulls a cracker out from his pocket. Iago looks terrified. Then the Sultan stuffs it in Iago's mouth. Iago grimaces as he tries to eat it. Jafar and the Sultan both laugh]''
:'''Jafar''': Your Majesty, certainly has a way with dumb animals. Now then, perhaps I can divine a solution to this thorny problem.
:'''Sultan''': If anyone can help, it's you.
:'''Jafar''': Ah, but it will require the use of the mystic blue diamond.
:'''Sultan''': Uh, my ring? But it's been in the family for years.
:'''Jafar''': It is necessary to find the Princess a suitor.
:''[Jafar says the word 'Princess' with the accent on the second syllable, 'cess.' He turns his staff with a cobra head towards The Sultan. The eyes of the staff begin to glow. The room darkens, Jafar's voice slows down and deepens. The Sultan's eyes get a hypnotized look]''
:'''Jafar''': Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
:'''Sultan''': Everything will be fine.
:'''Jafar''': The diamond.
:'''Sultan''': Here, Jafar, whatever you need will be fine.
:''[The Sultan removes his ring and hands it to Jafar. The room returns to normal as Jafar pulls back the staff]''
:'''Jafar''': You are most gracious, my liege. Now run along and play with your little toys.
:'''Sultan''': Yes, that'll be pretty good.
:''[Jafar and Iago exit. We follow them. When they're out of the room, the parrot spits out the cracker]''
:'''Iago''': I can't take it anymore! If I gotta choke down on one more of those moldy, disgusting crackers. Bam! Whack!
:''[Jafar pulls a rope, which reveals a hidden entrance to his chambers]''
:'''Jafar''': Calm yourself, Iago.
:'''Iago''': Then I'd grab him around the head. Whack! Whack!
:'''Jafar''': Soon, I will be sultan, not that addle-pated twit.
:'''Iago''': And then I stuff the crackers down his throat! ''[laughs]''

:''[In the midnight, in a gardens, a shadowy figure walks through. We see it is Jasmine in disguise. She reaches the palace wall, then begins to climb it. She is tugged from behind by Rajah]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Oh, I'm so sorry, Rajah. But I can't stay here and have my life lived for me. I'll miss you. Goodbye!
:''[She disappears over the wall. The next morning, in the street Aladdin and Abu are up to their capers again. They are on top of the awning of a fruit stand]''
:'''Aladdin''': Okay, Abu, go!
:''[Abu dips over the edge and looks at the merchant]''
:'''Fruit Merchant''': ''[to passing crowd]'' Try this, your taste buds will dance and sing. ''[Abu grabs a melon and hangs there, distracting his attention]'' Hey, get your paws off that.
:'''Abu''': Blah blah blah!
:'''Fruit Merchant''': Why, you! Get away from here, you filthy ape!
:''[The merchant grabs the melon away from Abu. But in the foreground, Aladdin dips down and snatches another melon from the stand]''
:'''Abu''': Bye-bye!
:''[He zings back up. The merchant takes the melon to the front, where he places it on top of a stack. He looks confused, like he has just done this]''
:'''Aladdin''': Nice going, Abu, breakfast is served.
:''[Aladdin and Abu on the roof break open the melon and eat. We see Jasmine walking through the street]''
:'''Pot Merchant''': Pretty lady buy a pot, no finer pot in brass or silver.
:'''Nut Merchant''': Sugar dates, sugar dates and figs! Sugar dates and pistachios!
:'''Necklace Merchant''': Would the lady like a necklace, a pretty necklace for a pretty lady.
:''[She is charmed by the action, but is startled by a fish thrust into her face]''
:'''Fish Merchant''': Fresh fish! We catch him you buy him!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': I don't think so.
:''[Jasmine backs away, but bumps into a fire eater, who is startled into swallowing his fire]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Excuse me.
:''[Man gulps, then belches fire from his mouth. Jasmine is disgusted. He is pleased and taps his stomach. Aladdin sees her, and a strange look comes over his face]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': I'm really very sorry.

:''[Jasmine pulls the hood of her cloak over her head. Abu sees him and jumps up on his shoulder, waving his hand in front of Aladdin's face]''

:''[Princess Jasmine stops at Farouk's fruit stand and sees a young boy reaching for fruit; she picks up an apple and hands it to him]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': You must be hungry. Here you go. ''[the boy runs off]''
:'''Farouk''': ''[first words]'' You'd better be able to pay for that.
:''[She turns around and a huge angry Farouk is right in her face]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Pay?
:'''Farouk''': No one steals from my cart.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': I'm so sorry, sir. I don't have any money.
:'''Farouk''': Thief!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Please. If you let me go to the palace, I can get some from The Sultan.
:'''Farouk''': Do you know what the penalty is for stealing?!
:''[He grabs her hand and pins it down on the table, then raises his sword]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': No! No, please!
:''[Aladdin stops Farouk]''
:'''Aladdin''': Thank you, kind sir. I'm so glad you found her. ''[to Princess Jasmine]'' I've been looking for you.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[quietly]'' What are you doing?
:'''Aladdin''': ''[whispers back]'' Just play along.
:'''Farouk''': You know this girl?
:'''Aladdin''': Sadly, yes. She is my sister. She's a little crazy. ''[Aladdin twirls his finger around his ear; Jasmine scoffs in disbelief]''
:'''Farouk''': She said she knew The Sultan.
:'''Aladdin''': She thinks The Monkey is The Sultan.
:''[Princess Jasmine, playing along, kneels and bows to Abu]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Oh, wise Sultan, how may I serve you?
:'''Abu''': Well,... ''[babbles royally]''
:'''Aladdin''': Tragic, isn't it? ''[leans forward, picking up another apple from the cart and hands it to Farouk as repayment]'' But no harm done. ''[walks over to Princess Jasmine]'' Now, come along, sis. Time to go see the doctor.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[to a camel standing nearby]'' Oh, hello, doctor. How are you?
:'''Aladdin''': No, no, no, not that one. ''[to Abu, whose pockets are bulging]'' Come on, Sultan.
:''[Abu bows to the crowd until nearly everything he picked up falls out]''
:'''Farouk''': ''[last words]'' Huh? What is it? ''[Abu picks up what he can carry, and the trio run off]'' Come back here, you little thieves!

:''[Inside Jafar's lair, Iago is running on a gear in a bizarre contraption. At the top of the contraption is a red storm brewing]''
:'''Iago''': ''[huffing and puffing]'' With all due respect, your rottenness, couldn't we just wait for a real storm?
:'''Jafar''': Save your breath, Iago. Faster!
:''[Jafar places the Sultan's diamond is set in a frame above a large hourglass]''
:'''Iago''': Yes, O Mighty Evil One.
:''[Iago runs faster. A lightning bolt streaks through the ring, passing into an hourglass below. The sands begin to swirl]''
:'''Jafar''': Ah, sands of time - Reveal to me the one who could enter the cave. ''[The sand in top forms the Cave of Wonders, it falls through into a storm, but it shows Aladdin climbing up a ladder, followed by Jasmine who is covered in her cloak]'' Yes, yes! There he is. My diamond in the rough!
:'''Iago''': That's him, that's the clown we've been waiting for?
:''[Iago loses his footing and is sucked into the gears]''
:'''Jafar''': Let's have the guards extend him an invitation to the palace. Shall we?
:''[Iago goes flying past and slams into the wall upside down]''
:'''Iago''': Swell.

:''[Finally, in the palace with Aladdin climbs up of the ladder, followed by Jasmine]''
:'''Aladdin''': Almost there.
:''[Jasmine climbs over a wall, but trips and falls into Aladdin's arms and stands up]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': I want to thank you for stopping that man.
:'''Aladdin''': Ah, forget about it. ''[he grabs a pole]'' So, uh, this is your first time in the Marketplace? ''[gasps]''
:''[Aladdin pole vaults to the next building, leaves Jasmine behind]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Is it that obvious?
:'''Aladdin''': Well, you do kind of stand out. ''[Aladdin stares at Jasmine. Jasmine returns the look. But Aladdin realises what he's doing, and returns to normal]'' I mean, eh, you don't seem to know how dangerous Agrabah can be.
:''[Aladdin lays a plank between the buildings for her to walk over, but as Aladdin is leaned down, she vaults over his head. Aladdin looks back in surprise. Jasmine tosses the pole to him. Both Aladdin's and Abu's eyes bulge]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': I'm a fast learner.
:'''Aladdin''': Hey. Come on, this way.
:''[They go inside the roof of a building, dodges planks and beams as they go]''
:'''Aladdin''': Whoa. Watch your head there. Be careful.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Is this where you live?
:'''Aladdin''': Yep. Just me and Abu. Come and get as we please.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Fabulous.
:'''Aladdin''': Well, it's not much, ''[pulls back the curtain and exposes the palace]'' but it's got a great view. Palace looks pretty amazing, huh?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Oh, that's wonderful.
:'''Aladdin''': I wonder what it would be like to live there, to have servants and valets...
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Oh, sure. People who tell you where to go and how to dress.
:'''Aladdin''': That's better than here. Always scraping for food and ducking the guards.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': You're not free to make your own choices.
:'''Aladdin''': Sometimes you feel so...
:'''Princess Jasmine''': You're just...
:'''Aladdin and Princess Jasmine''': ...trapped.
:''[They look at each other, realizing that they're perfect for one another. But Aladdin then realizes where he is, and breaks the look. Aladdin takes the apple out of Abu's hand and rolls it down his arm into the hand of Jasmine]''
:'''Aladdin''': So, where are you from?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': What does it matter? I ran away, and I'm not going back.
:'''Aladdin''': Really?
:''[Aladdin takes a bite from the apple on his hand with Abu looks on his face]''
:'''Abu''': Why you!
:''[Aladdin walks over and sits next to Jasmine]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': My father's forcing me to get married.
:'''Aladdin''': That's, that's awful. ''[Abu appears from behind the princess and tries to steal the apple]'' Abu!
:''[Abu chatters and curses as he goes]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': What?
:'''Aladdin''': Abu says it's, uh, it's not fair.
:'''Abu''': What?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Oh, did he?
:'''Aladdin''': Yeah, of course.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': And does Abu have anything else to say?
:'''Aladdin''': Well, he wishes there was something he can do to help.
:'''Abu''': Oh, boy.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Hmm. Tell him that's very sweet.
:''[Aladdin and Jasmine gets closer and kiss her before Razoul and the guards cross towards them]''
:'''Razoul''': Here you are.
:'''Aladdin and Princess Jasmine''': They've found me! ''[beat]'' They're after you?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': My father must have sent them...
:'''Aladdin''': Do you trust me?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': What?
:'''Aladdin''': Do you trust me?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Yes.
:'''Aladdin''': Then, jump!
:''[Aladdin and Jasmine leap off the roof, fall down and run before blocked by Razoul]''
:'''Razoul''': We just keep running into each other, don't we, Street Rat?
:'''Aladdin''': Run. Go, get out of here.
:''[Again, Razoul's turban is pulled down by Abu, but more guards are here and block the exit. Razoul pulls Abu off his head and throws him in a vase. Three other guards grab Aladdin]''
:'''Razoul''': It's the dungeon for you, boy.
:'''Aladdin''': Hey, get off of me!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Let him go.
:'''Razoul''': Looky here, men, a street mouse.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Unhand him, by order of The Princess.
:''[The guards grab Aladdin to bow as well]''
:'''Razoul''': Princess Jasmine.
:'''Aladdin''': The Princess?
:'''Abu''': The Princess?
:'''Razoul''': What are you doing outside the palace? And with this street rat?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': That's not your concern. Do as I command. Release him!
:'''Razoul''': ''[last words]'' Well, I would, Princess, unless my orders come from Jafar. You will have to take it up with him.
:''[The guards grab Aladdin out and walk past]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Believe me, I will.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Inside the palace, Jafar emerging from his secret chambers. Jafar slides the door shut carefully before Jasmine comes storms and Jafar slams it shut, pines Iago inside the door frame]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Jafar?
:'''Jafar''': Oh, uh, Princess.
:'''Iago''': Awk! Jafar, I'm stuck!
:'''Jafar''': How may I be of service to you? ''[spreads out his cape]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': The guards just took a boy from the market, on your orders.
:'''Jafar''': Your father's charged me with keeping peace in Agrabah. The boy was a criminal.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': What was his crime?
:'''Iago''': I can't breathe, Jafar!
:'''Jafar''': Why, kidnapping the Princess, of course.
:'''Iago''': If you could just. ''[he kicks him back inside the door and it slams shut]'' Ow! That hurt!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': He didn't kidnap me! I ran away!
:'''Jafar''': ''[walks away]'' Oh, dear! Oh, why frightfully upsetting. Had I but known.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': What do you mean?
:'''Jafar''': Sadly, the boy's sentence has already been carried out.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': What sentence?
:'''Jafar''': Death. ''[Jasmine gasps]'' By beheading.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': No!
:'''Jafar''': I am exceedingly sorry, Princess.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': How could you? ''[crying]''
:''[Iago finally makes it out through the door. He flies up and lands on Jafar's shoulder, coughing]''
:'''Iago''': So, how did it go?
:'''Jafar''': I think she took it rather well. ''[they both get a sinister smile on their faces]''
:''[Outside the gardens, crying at the edge of the fountain. Rajah comes over to comfort her. She pets him]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': It's all my fault, Rajah. I didn't even know his name.

:''[Inside the dungeon, rats scurry across the gloomy walls, in and out of shafts of moonlight shining through a high, barred window. We see Aladdin chained to the wall]''
:'''Aladdin''': ''[to himself]'' She was the Princess. I don't believe it. I must have sounded so stupid to her.
:'''Abu''': ''[from a distance]'' Yoo-hoo! Aladdin? Hello!
:''[Abu's shadow appears at the window at the top of the dungeon]''
:'''Aladdin''': Abu! Down here!
:''[We hear chitters, scampers down before Aladdin pulls on his arm irons]''
:'''Aladdin''': Hey, come on. Help me outta these.
:''[Abu stops, then begins chattering wildly, dropping to the ground. He wraps a cloth around his head and makes his eyes big in an imitates of the Princess]''
:'''Aladdin''': Hey, she was in trouble. Ah, she was worth it.
:''[Abu jumps up on Aladdin's shoulders and pulls a small set of tools out of his pocket, then frees Aladdin]''
:'''Abu''': Yeah, yeah, yeah.
:'''Aladdin''': Don't worry, Abu, I'll never see her again. I'm a street rat, remember, and there's a law. She's gotta marry a prince, she deserves it.
:''[Abu finally frees Aladdin's hands]''
:'''Abu''': Ta da!
:'''Aladdin''': I'm a fool.
:'''Jafar''': ''[off-screen]'' You're only a fool if you give up, boy.
:''[Aladdin sees Jafar as a old prisoner sitting in the corner]''
:'''Aladdin''': Who are you?
:'''Jafar''': A lowly prisoner like yourself. But together perhaps we can be more.
:'''Aladdin''': I'm listening.
:'''Jafar''': There is a cave, boy, the Cave of Wonders, filled with treasures beyond your wildest dreams.
:''[Abu lights up at this]''
:'''Jafar''': ''[sly]'' Treasure enough to impress even your princess, I'd wager.
:'''Iago''': Jafar, can ya hurry it up? I'm dying in here!
:'''Aladdin''': But the law says that only a prince can marry...
:'''Jafar''': Haven't you heard of the Golden Rule, haven't you boy? Whoever has the gold makes the rules.
:'''Aladdin''': So why will you share all of that wonderful treasure with me?
:'''Jafar''': I need a young pair of legs and a strong back to go in after it.
:'''Aladdin''': Uh, one problem. It's out there, we're in here?
:''[Jafar walks to a wall and pushes open a hidden exit]''
:'''Jafar''': Mmm, mmm, mmm. Things aren't always what they seem. So do we have a deal?

:'''Aladdin''': Uh, it is I, Aladdin.
:''[Blinding light from the cave. Aladdin winces]''
:'''Cave of Wonders''': Proceed. Touch nothing but the lamp.
:''[The cave opens up with a roar, and a staircase appears in front of Aladdin]''
:'''Jafar''': Remember, boy, first fetch me the lamp. And then you shall have your reward.
:'''Aladdin''': Come on, Abu. ''[to Abu hiding under the shoulder of his vest]''
:''[Aladdin begins to descend the staircase. He reaches the bottom and enters a golden chamber filled with treasure]''
:'''Aladdin''': Will you look at that!
:'''Abu''': Uh-oh!
:'''Aladdin''': Just a handful of this stuff would make me richer than the Sultan.
:''[Abu peeks out, sees the treasure, then bolts for it]''
:'''Aladdin''': Abu!
:''[Abu stops in mid run, hovering over a rug on the floor]''
:'''Aladdin''': Don't touch anything! We gotta find that lamp.
:''[They begin to make their way through the room when the Carpet rises off the floor and begins following them. Abu gets the feeling they're being followed]''
:'''Abu''': Huh?
:''[He turns, and the Carpet lies flat on the floor. He continues, and the Carpet begins to follow again. Again, Abu turns back, but the Carpet is rolled up and leaning against a pile of treasure. Abu runs to Aladdin and tugs his pant leg]''
:'''Abu''': Aladdin! Aladdin!
:'''Aladdin''': Abu, will you knock it off?
:''[Again the Carpet follows, but this time, when Abu turns, the carpet jumps to the other side. It reaches down with a tassel and pulls Abu's tail. When Abu jumps around, Carpet again goes to the other side. This time, Abu lands in a karate stance. Carpet reaches down and plucks Abu's hat off, then puts it on himself. Abu sits thinking for a second, until Carpet waves a tassel in front of his face. Abu and Carpet both jump scared, and run away. Abu tackles Aladdin and turns his head to look at the Carpet]''
:'''Aladdin''': Abu, what are you, crazy?
:''[The Carpet peeks out from behind a pile of treasure]''
:'''Aladdin''': The Magic Carpet. Come on, come on out, I'm not gonna hurt you. Hey, take it easy, Abu, he's not gonna bite.
:''[The Carpet again picks up Abu's hat and hands it to him.]''
:'''Aladdin''': Thanks.
:''[Abu shakes his fist and screeching. Carpet begins to walk away, "sadly"]''
:'''Aladdin''': Hey, wait a minute. Don't go. Maybe you can help us.
:''[Carpet looks back, excited. It then flies over and wraps around the pair]''

:'''Aladdin''': This is it? This is magic lamp. This is what we came all the way down here to...? ''[he looks down at Abu about to grab a red diamond from a monkey idol]'' Abu! NO!
:''[Abu grabs the diamond]''
:'''Cave of Wonders''': <big>'''INFIDELS!!'''</big>
:'''Abu''': Uh-oh!
:'''Cave of Wonders''': <big>'''YOU HAVE TOUCHED THE FORBIDDEN TREASURE!!'''</big> ''[Abu tries to put the diamond back in the idol's palm, but the idol starts to melt away]'' <big>'''NOW YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY!!'''</big>
:''[Aladdin leaps his ramp, but they flatten into a ramp, and he skies down until he flies into the air. The water changes into lava. He is falling toward it, when all of a sudden Carpet appears and catches him. Abu is standing on one of the rocks of the bridge. He looks left and right and sees rocks exploding into lava like '''[[w:Raiders of the Lost Ark|Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'''. Then Carpet races over and Aladdin grabs him, just as the last rock is exploding]''
:'''Aladdin''': Whoa! Carpet, let's move!
:''[Together, they race back through the caves dodging walls and falling debris. Abu grabs Aladdin's head and covers his eyes]''
:'''Aladdin''': Abu, this is no time to panic!
:''[Aladdin pulls Abu off his head and sees the solid wall]''
:'''Aladdin''': Start panicking! Whoa!
:''[Carpet goes into a dive, then through another cave. Finally, they emerge through the internal entrance. Outside, the earth trembles. Winds swirl ferociously. Lightning flashes, thunder booms. The cave begins to growl and close, a gigantic stalactite breaks off and pins the Carpet. Abu and Aladdin are thrown forward. A chasm opens, cutting them off from Aladdin and Abu are almost to the top when a boulder drops on carpet, sending it to the floor. Aladdin grabs onto the rock wall and holds on. He sees Jafar appears above]''
:'''Aladdin''': ''[shouts over the din]'' Help me out!
:'''Jafar''': Throw me the lamp!
:'''Aladdin''': I can't hold on, give me your hand!
:'''Jafar''': First give me the lamp.
:''[Aladdin pulls out the lamp. Aladdin hands it up and Jafar raises up]''
:'''Jafar''': ''[laughs triumphantly]'' Yes! At last!
:''[Jafar laughs evilly and grabs Aladdin's wrist]''
:'''Aladdin''': What are you doing?
:'''Jafar''': Giving you your reward... ''[normal voice]'' Your eternal reward.
:''[He pulls out a crooked dagger and is about to stab Aladdin, when Abu angrily bites him on the wrist. He painfully screams, but lets go of Aladdin, who falls into the cave. Jafar throws Abu into the cave as well. They fall. Carpet sees this, but is pinned under a boulder. It struggles to break free, then does. It races up and catches Aladdin, but he has already hit the wall several times, and is unconscious. On the surface, the cave roars one final time, then sinks back into the sand. Jafar pulls off his disguise]''
:'''Jafar''': ''[laughs]'' It's mine. ''[removes his disguise]'' It's all mine! I... ''[he searches his robe pockets for the lamp, but it is empty]'' Where is it? No! ''[falls to his knees]'' <big>'''''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!'''''</big>
:''[Meanwhile, in Sultan's chamber like '''[[w:Crash Bandicoot: Warped|Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped]]''', '''[[w:The Chipmunk Adventure|The Chipmunk Adventure]]''' and '''[[w:The Thief and the Cobbler|The Princess and the Cobbler]]'''. She is sitting on her bed, next to Rajah who looks sad. The Sultan walks in]''
:'''Sultan''': Jasmine? Oh, dearest. What's wrong?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Jafar... has... done... something terrible. ''[cries]''
:'''Sultan''': There, there, there, my child... We'll set it right. Now, tell me everything.

:''[Inside the cave, Aladdin sleeps groggily on the Carpet and Abu tries]''
:'''Abu''': Oh, oh. Aladdin? Wake up. Aladdin.
:'''Aladdin''': ''[groans]'' Oh, my head. ''[looks at a solid cavern]'' We're trapped. That two faced son-of-a-jackal! Whoever he was, he's long gone with that lamp.
:'''Abu''': Aha! ''[pulls out the lamp]''
:'''Aladdin''': Why, you hairy little thief! It looks like such a beat-up, worthless piece of junk. Hey, I think there's something written here, but it's hard to make out.
:''[Aladdin rubs the lamp with his sleeve, it glows slightly and the lamp begins to shake and glow, but Aladdin holds onto the lamp, towering above Aladdin is the gigantic Genie comes out of the lamp. He is a hip, hyper, mercurial [[Robin Williams]] type, full of exuberance]''
:'''Genie''': ''[screaming]'' OY! 10,000 years will give ya such a crick in the neck! Hang on a second! Whoa! Does it feel good to be outta there! Nice to be back, ladies and gentlemen. Hi, where ya from? What's your name?
:'''Aladdin''': Uh, Al, Aladdin.
:'''Genie''': Aladdin! Hello, Aladdin. Nice to have you on the show. Can we call you Al? Or maybe just Din? Or how about Laddie? Sounds like here, boy! ''[whistles]'' Come on, Laddie!
:'''Aladdin''': ''[to the Carpet]'' I must have hit my head harder than I thought.
:'''Genie''': Do you smoke? Mind if I do? Oh, sorry, Cheeta, I hope I didn't singe the fur!
:''[Abu is comically scared before the Carpet laughs]''
:'''Genie''': ''[noticed the Carpet]'' Hey, Rugman! Haven't seen you in a few millennia! Give me some tassel! ''[to Aladdin]'' Yo yo! Yeah! Say, you're a lot smaller than my last master. Either that or I'm getting bigger. Look at me from the side, do I look different to you?
:'''Aladdin''': Wait a minute! I'm your master?
:'''Genie''': That's right! He can be taught!! What would you wish of me, ''[assumes a muscular physique and a deep [[w:Arnold Schwarzenegger|Arnold Schwarzenegger]]-esque accent]'' the ever-impressive, ''[appears in a [[Superman II#General Zod|Phantom Zone]]-esque stretchy bubble]'' the long-contained, ''[creates a ventriloquist's dummy in his likeness, affecting a [[w:Señor Wences|Señor Wences]]-esque high-pitched voice]'' often imitated, ''[creates multiple copies of himself]'' but never duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated... Genie Of The Lamp! ''[turns into a caricature of [[w:Ed Sullivan|Ed Sullivan]] as the copies applaud]'' Right here, direct from the lamp, right here for your very much wish fulfillment. Thank you!
:'''Aladdin''': ''[getting it clear]'' Whoa! Wish fulfillment?
:'''Genie''': Three wishes to be exact. And ix-nay on the wishing for more wishes. That's it, three. ''[affects a [[w:Groucho Marx|Groucho Marx]] impression]'' Uno, dos, tres. No substitutions, exchanges or refunds.
:''[Aladdin stares before deadpan]''
:'''Aladdin''': ''[to Abu]'' Now I know I'm dreaming.
:'''Genie''': ''[music for "Friend Like Me" begins]'' Master, I don't think you quite realize what you've got here! So why don't you just ruminate, whilst I illuminate the possibilities. ''[singing]'' Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves / Scheherezade had a thousand tales / But master you in luck 'cause up your sleeves / You got a brand of magic never fails / You got some power in your corner now / Some heavy ammunition in your camp / You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how / See all you gotta do is rub that lamp / And I'll say...| Mister Aladdin, sir / What will your pleasure be? / Let me take your order / Jot it down / You ain't never had a friend like me...| Life is your restaurant / And I'm your maître d' / C'mon whisper what it is you want / You ain't never had a friend like me...| Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service / You're the boss / The king, the shah / Say what you wish / It's yours, true dish / How about a little more Baklava?| Have some of column A / Try all of column B / I'm in the mood to help you dude / You ain't never had a friend like me...| Can your friends do this? / Do your friends do that? / Do your friends pull this out their little hat? / Can your friends go poof? / Well, looky here / Can your friends go, Abracadabra, let 'er rip / And then make the sucker disappear?| So dontcha sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed / I'm here to answer all your midnight prayers / You got me bona fide, certified / You got a genie for your charge d'affaires / I got a powerful urge to help you out / So what-cha wish? / I really want to know / You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt / Well, all you gotta do is rub like so - and oh...| Mister Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three / I'm on the job, you big nabob / You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend / You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend / You ain't never had a friend like me / You ain't never had a friend like me, hah!| ''[song fades]''
:''[Back at the cave is empty again, save for Aladdin, Abu, the Carpet and the Genie, who now has a glowing neon "Applause" sign above his head]''
:'''Genie''': So what'll it be, Master?
:'''Aladdin''': You're gonna grant me any three wishes I want?
:'''Genie''': ''[affecting a [[William F. Buckley]] accent]'' Ah, almost. There are a few provisos, a couple of quid pro quos.
:'''Aladdin''': Like?
:'''Genie''': Ah, first rule: I can't kill anybody. ''[slices his head off with his finger]'' So don't ask. Second rule: I can't make anyone fall in love with anyone else. ''[Genie's head turns into a big pair of lips which kiss Aladdin]'' You little punim, there. ''[lies flat, then gets up and transforms into a zombie affecting a [[w:Peter Lorre|Peter Lorre]] accent]'' Third rule: I can't bring people back from the dead. It's not a pretty picture. ''[grabs Aladdin and shakes him]'' '''I DON'T LIKE DOING IT!''' ''[poofs back to normal]'' Other than that, you got it!
:'''Aladdin''': Ah, provisos? You mean limitations? On wishes? ''[to Abu]'' Some all powerful genie. Can't even bring people back from the dead. I don't know, Abu. He probably can't even get us out of this cave. Looks like we're gonna have to find a way out of here.
:'''Genie''': ''[stomps his foot in front of them, affects a [[w:Travis Bickle|Travis Bickle]]-esque [[w:Brooklyn accent|Brooklyn accent]], angrily and lost patience]'' Excuse me? Are you lookin' at me? Did you rub my lamp? Did you wake me up? Did you bring me here? And all of a sudden, you're walkin' out on me?! I don't think so! <big>'''''NOT right now! YOU'RE GETTIN' YOUR WISHES, SO SIT DOWN!!'''''</big> ''[Aladdin and Abu sit on the carpet; Genie joins them and turns into a stewardess]'' In case of emergency, the exits are here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, anywhere!

:''[The next morning, inside The Sultan's palace, Jafar is there with Iago, Jasmine and The Sultan]''
:'''Sultan''': Jafar, this is an outrage. If it weren't for all your years of loyal service... From now on, you're to discuss sentencing of prisoners with me, before they are beheaded.
:'''Jafar''': I assure you, Your Highness, it won't happen again.
:'''Sultan''': Jasmine, Jafar, now let's put this whole messy business behind us. Please?
:'''Jafar''': My most abject and humblest apologies to you as well, Princess.
:''[Jafar takes her hand to kiss it, but she yanks it away]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': At least some good will come of my being forced to marry. When I am queen, I will have the power to get rid of you.
:'''Sultan''': That's nice. All settled, then. Now, Jasmine, getting back to this suitor business, ''[looks and sees Jasmine walking out]'' Jasmine? Jasmine!
:''[The Sultan runs after her]''
:'''Jafar''': If only I had gotten that lamp!
:'''Iago''': ''[Jasmine's voice]'' I will have the power to get rid of you! ''[normal voice]'' Doh! To think, we gotta keep kissing up to that chump, and his chump daughter for the rest of our lives...
:'''Jafar''': No, Iago. Only until she finds a chump husband. Then she'll have us banished, or beheaded!
:'''Jafar and Iago''': Eeewww!
:'''Iago''': ''[has an idea]'' Oh! Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Jafar? What if you were the chump husband?
:'''Jafar''': ''[looks at Iago in insult]'' What?
:'''Iago''': Okay, you marry the Princess, all right? Then, uh, you become Sultan!
:'''Jafar''': Oh! Marry the shrew? I become Sultan. The idea has merit!
:'''Iago''': Yes, merit! Yes! And then we drop Papa-in-Law and the little woman off a cliff! ''[dive bombs into the floor]'' Kersplat!
:'''Jafar''': Iago, I love the way your foul little mind works!

:''[We scene switches to an oasis in the desert, where Carpet is coming in for a landing]''
:'''Genie''': ''[still as stewardess, now using a [[w:Carol Channing|Carol Channing]]-esque voice]'' Thank you for choosing Magic Carpet for all your travel needs. Don't stand until the rug has come to a complete stop. ''[as Aladdin and Abu get off down the stairway formed by Carpet]'' Thank you. Goodbye, goodbye! Thank you! Goodbye! ''[back to normal]'' Well, how about that, Mr. Doubting Mustafa?
:'''Aladdin''': Oh, you sure showed me. Now about my three wishes--
:'''Genie''': Dost mine ears deceive me? Three? You are down by ONE, boy!
:'''Aladdin''': Ah, no. I never actually wished to get out of the cave. You did that on your own.
:''[Genie thinks for a second, then his jaw drops. He turns into a sheep]''
:'''Genie''': Well, don't I feel just sheepish? All right, you baaaaad boy, but no more freebies.
:'''Aladdin''': Fair deal. So, three wishes. I want them to be good. ''[to Genie]'' What would you wish for?
:''[Genie is hanging like a hammock between two trees]''
:'''Genie''': Me? No one's ever asked me that before. Well, in my case, ah, forget it.
:'''Aladdin''': What?
:'''Genie''': No, I can't. I...
:'''Aladdin''': Come on, tell me.
:'''Genie''': Freedom.
:'''Aladdin''': You're a prisoner?
:'''Genie''': It's all part-and-parcel, the whole genie gig. ''[grows gigantic, voice echoes]'' Phenomenal cosmic powers! ''[shrinks down, cramped in Magic Lamp]'' Itty-bitty living space.
:'''Aladdin''': Genie, that's terrible.
:'''Genie''': ''[comes out of the lamp]'' But, oh, to be free. Won't have to go "Poof! What do you need? Poof! What do you need? Poof! What do you need?" To be my own master, such a thing would be greater than all the riches and all the treasures in all the world! But what am I talking about? Let's be real here. It's not gonna happen. Genie, wake up and smell the hummus!
:'''Aladdin''': Why not?
:'''Genie''': The only way I get outta this, is if my master wishes me out. So, you can guess how often that's happened.
:'''Aladdin''': I'll do it. I'll set you free.
:'''Genie''': ''[Head turns into [[Pinocchio (1940 film)|Pinocchio's]] with a long nose]'' Uh huh, yeah, right. Whoop!
:'''Aladdin''': No, really, I promise. ''[He pushes the nose back in and Genie's head returns to normal.]'' After I make my first two wishes, I use my third wish to set you free. ''[He holds out his hand]''
:'''Genie''': Well, here's hopin'. ''[Shakes Aladdin's hand.]'' All right. Let's make some magic! ''[Turns into a magician.]'' So how 'bout it? What is it you want most?
:'''Aladdin''': Well... there's this girl.
:'''Genie''': Eehhh, wrong! ''[Like a buzzer, and Genie's chest shows a heart with a cross through it.]'' I can't make anybody fall in love, remember?
:'''Aladdin''': Oh, but-- but Genie, she’s smart and-- and fun, and...
:'''Genie''': Pretty?
:'''Aladdin''': Beautiful! She's got these eyes that just... and this hair, wow... and her smile. ''[sighs]''
:'''Genie''': ''[Sitting in a Parisian cafe with Abu and Carpet.]'' Ah, mi, c'est l'amour.
:'''Aladdin''': But she's the Princess. To even have a chance, I'd have to be... Hey... can you make me a prince?
:'''Genie''': Let's see here. ''[Pulls out a "Royal Cookbook".]'' Chicken à la king? ''[Pulls out a chicken with a crown on its head]'' Nope. Alaskan king crab. ''[Yanks out his finger, and we see Sebastian from "'''[[w:The Little Mermaid (1989 film)|The Little Mermaid]]'''" clamped on.]'' Ow. I'd hate it when they do that. Caesar salad? Ah! ''[An arm wielding a dagger comes out and tries to stab him.]'' [[w:Et tu, Brute|Et tu, Brute?]] No. Aha. "To make a prince." ''[Looks slyly at Aladdin.]'' Now is that an official wish? Say the magic words!
:'''Aladdin''': Genie, I wish for you to make me a prince!
:'''Genie''': All riiiiight! ''[Takes on square shoulders and briefly looks like [[w:Arsenio Hall|Arsenio Hall]]]'' Yo, yo, whoof, whoof, whoof! ''[Then becomes a tailor/fashion designer.]'' First, that fez and vest combo is much too third century. These patches--what are we trying to say--beggar? No! Let’s work with me here. ''[He takes Aladdin's measurements, wraps him up in measuring tape, pulls it away and Aladdin is outfitted in his prince costume.]'' I like it, muy macho! Now, still needs something. What does it say to me? It says mode of transportation. Excuse me, monkey boy! Aquí, over here!
:''[Abu tries to cover himself with Carpet, but Genie zaps him and he flies over.]''
:'''Abu''': Uh oh!

Watch out, they spit!
:''[A door bearing the Genie's head on it opens, where Abu is transformed into a camel. He spits out the side of his mouth on cue. But the Genie's not sure.]''
:'''Genie''': Mmm, not enough.
:''[The Genie snaps his fingers and Abu turns into a fancy white horse.]''
:'''Genie''': Still not enough. Let's see. What do you need?
:''[The Genie snaps his fingers repeatedly, turning Abu into: a duck, an ostrich, a turtle, and a '57 Cadillac, with license plate "Abu 1." Finally, he's returned to normal.]''
:'''Genie''': Yes! Esalalumbo, shimin '''[[Dumbo]]'''! Whoa!!
:''[And on the keyword of the spell, '''[[Dumbo]]''', Abu turns into an elephant. Carpet struggles to get out from under Abu's size 46 feet.]''

He carefully balances the last piece on top, then sits back and sighs. Jafar storms in, though, and the pile collapses.]''
:'''Jafar''': Sire, I have found a solution to the problem with your daughter.
:'''Iago''': Awk! The problem with your daughter!
:'''Sultan''': Oh, really?
:'''Jafar''': ''[Unrolling a scroll]'' Right here. "If the Princess has not chosen a husband by the appointed time, then The sultan shall choose for her."
:'''Sultan''': But Jasmine hated all those suitors! ''[He tries to stuff a cracker into Iago's mouth. Iago backs away. The Sultan absentmindedly pulls the cracker back.]'' How could I choose someone she hates? ''[Iago is relieved, but The Sultan quickly stuffs a cracker in his mouth.]''
:'''Jafar''': Not to worry, my liege. There is more. If, in the event a suitable prince cannot be found, a princess must then be wed to... hmm... interesting.
:'''Sultan''': What? Who?
:'''Jafar''': The royal vizier! Why, that would be...me!
:'''Sultan''': Why, I thought the law says that only a prince can marry a princess, I'm quite sure.
:'''Jafar''': Desperate times call for desperate measures, my lord. ''[He pulls out the staff and hypnotizes The Sultan with it.]''
:'''Sultan''': Yes... desperate measures...
:'''Jafar''': You will order the Princess to marry me.
:'''Sultan''': I... will order... the Princess... to... ''[the spell breaks momentarily]'' ...but you're so old!

:'''Aladdin''': Your Majesty, I am Prince Ali Ababwa! ''[pricks Jafar's goatee, which springs out in all directions]'' Just let her meet me. I will win your daughter!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': How dare you? ''[they all look at her surprised]'' All of you, standing around deciding my future? I am not a prize to be won! ''[storms out]''

:'''Genie''': ''[turns turban into a lamp shade]'' A woman appreciates a man who can make her laugh! Al, all joking aside, you really oughtta be yourself.
:'''Aladdin''': Hey, that's the last thing I want to be. Okay, I'm gonna go see her. I gotta be smooth, cool, confident. How do I look?
:''[The Genie regards him a little sadly. Gestures, the turban is restored]''
:'''Genie''': ''[false good humor]'' Like a prince.
:''[Aladdin flies up to the balcony on Carpet. Jasmine is on her bed, sighing. Rajah is by her side]''
:'''Aladdin''': ''[from a distance]'' Princess Jasmine?
:''[Rajah looks up and growls]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Who's there?
:'''Aladdin''': It's me, Prince Ali. Ahem-- ''[then he jumps to his deep voice]'' Prince Ali Ababwa.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': I do not want to see you.
:''[Jasmine turns to go inside. He moves after her, so the room light illumines him]''
:'''Aladdin''': No, no, please, Princess. Give me a chance. ''[Rajah growls and advances on him]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Just leave me alone.
:'''Aladdin''': I'll leave you alone. Down, kitty!
:''[Over the edge of the balcony, Carpet is watching with Genie below]''
:'''Genie''': How's our beau doing?
:''[Carpet cuts his neck with his finger]''
:'''Aladdin''': Good kitty, take off. Down, kitty. ''[He takes off his turban to brush Rajah away]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[looks at him thinking she has seen him before]'' Wait, wait. Do I know you?
:'''Aladdin''': ''[quickly replaces his turban]'' Uh, no, no.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': You remind me of someone I met in the marketplace.
:'''Aladdin''': The marketplace? ''[a bee buzzes around his head]'' I have servants that go to the marketplace for me. Why I even have servants who go to the marketplace for my servants, so it couldn't have been me you met.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[looks disappointed]'' No, I guess not.
:'''Genie''': ''[as a bee]'' Enough about you, Casanova. Talk about her! She's smart, fun, the hair, the eyes. Anything--pick a feature!
:'''Aladdin''': Um, Princess Jasmine? You're very...
:'''Genie''': ''[as a bee]'' Wonderful, glorious, magnificent, punctual!
:'''Aladdin''': Punctual!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Punctual?
:'''Genie''': ''[as a bee]'' Sorry.
:'''Aladdin''': Beautiful.
:'''Genie''': ''[as a bee]'' Nice recovery.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Hmm. I'm rich too, you know.
:'''Aladdin''': Yeah!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': The daughter of a sultan.
:'''Aladdin''': I know.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': A fine prize for any prince to marry.
:'''Aladdin''': Uh, right. Right. A prince like me.
:'''Genie''': ''[as a bee; buzzing in his ear]'' Warning! Warning!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Right, a prince like you. And every other stuffed shirt, swaggering peacock I've met!
:'''Genie''': ''[as a bee; rear end on fire, wearing goggles and crashing]'' Mayday! Mayday!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Just go jump off a balcony! ''[turns and walks away]''
:'''Aladdin''': What?
:'''Genie''': ''[as a bee]'' Stop her! Stop her! Do you want me to sting her?
:'''Aladdin''': ''[swats at bee]'' Buzz off!
:'''Genie''': ''[as a bee]'' Okay, fine. But remember-- bee yourself! ''[buzzes into his turban]''
:'''Aladdin''': Yeah, right!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': What!?!
:'''Aladdin''': Uh, you're right. You aren't just some prize to be won. ''[looks disappointed]'' You should be free to make your own choice. ''[Jasmine and Rajah look at each other in confusion]'' I'll go now. ''[steps up on the ledge and drops off]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': No.
:'''Aladdin''': ''[pokes his head up from over the edge]'' No? What? What?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[now she's amazed]'' How-- how are you doing that? ''[she looks over the edge and sees the Carpet]''
:'''Aladdin''': It's a magic carpet.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': It's lovely. ''[Carpet takes Jasmine's hand with a tassel]''
:'''Aladdin''': You, uh, you don't want to go for a ride, do you? We could get out of the palace, see the world.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Is it safe?
:'''Aladdin''': Sure. Do you trust me?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[looks at him at the saying of that all-important line]'' What?
:'''Aladdin''': ''[extends his hand the same as before]'' Do you trust me?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[gets a sly grin on her face]'' Yes.
:''[Jasmine takes his hand and hops on Carpet, with the camera zooming into the sky, knocking them both into sitting positions. Brad Kane and Lea Salonga music playing a song [[w:A Whole New World|A Whole New World]]. Jasmine looks back and sees Rajah looks up at her questioningly. She gasps as they fly over the palace wall and into the sky]''
:'''Aladdin''': ''[singing]'' I can show you the world / Shining, shimmering, splendid / Tell me, Princess, now when did / You last let your heart decide?| I can open your eyes / Take you wonder by wonder / Over, sideways and under / On a magic carpet ride...| A whole new world / A new fantastic point of view / No one to tell us no / Or where to go / Or say we're only dreaming.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[singing]'' A whole new world / A dazzling place I never knew / But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear / That now I'm in a whole new world with you.
:'''Aladdin''': ''[singing]'' Now I'm in a whole new world with you.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[singing]'' Unbelievable sights / Indescribable feeling / Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling / Through an endless diamond sky...| A whole new world.
:'''Aladdin''': ''[singing]'' Don't you dare close your eyes.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[singing]'' A hundred thousand things to see.
:'''Aladdin''': ''[singing]'' Hold your breath, it gets better.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[singing]'' I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far.
:'''Aladdin''': ''[singing]'' I can't go back to where I used to be...| A whole new world.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[singing]'' Every turn a surprise.
:'''Aladdin''': ''[singing]'' With new horizons to pursue.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[singing]'' Every moment, red-letter.
:'''Aladdin and Princess Jasmine''': ''[singing]'' I'll chase them anywhere, there's time to spare / Let me share this whole new world with you...| A whole new world, a whole new world / That's where we'll be, that's where we'll be.
:'''Aladdin''': ''[singing]'' A thrilling chase.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[singing]'' A wondrous place.
:'''Aladdin and Princess Jasmine''': ''[singing]'' For you and me...| ''[song fades]''
:''[Carpet hovers along over a lake, and we see the reflection of the moon in the lake. Fireworks burst and before them is the Great Wall of China in '''[[w:Mulan (1998 film)|Mulan]]''', sitting on a rooftop]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': It's all so magical.
:'''Aladdin''': Yeah.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': It's a shame Abu had to miss this.
:'''Aladdin''': Nah, he hates fireworks. He doesn't really like flying either. That is... Oh, no!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': You're the boy from the market! I knew it. Why did you lie to me?
:'''Aladdin''': Jasmine, I'm so sorry.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Did you think I was stupid?
:'''Aladdin''': No.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': That I wouldn't figure it out?
:'''Aladdin''': No. I mean, I hoped you wouldn't. No, that's not what I meant.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Who are you? Tell me the truth!
:'''Aladdin''': The truth?
:''[Aladdin looks at Carpet on rooftop]''
:'''Aladdin''': The truth, the truth is, I sometimes dress as a commoner, to escape the pressures of palace life. But I really am a prince!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Why didn't you just tell me?
:'''Aladdin''': Well, you know, uh, royalty going out into the city in disguise. It seems a little strange, don't you think?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Not that strange.
:''[Jasmine flicks up the feather, Carpet puts a tassel under his "chin" and looks mystified. In the palace balcony, where Aladdin and Jasmine return]''
:''[Carpet forms a set of steps and she descends. Aladdin descending below the balcony]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Good night, my handsome prince.
:'''Aladdin''': Sleep well, Princess. ''[They slowly lean forward to kiss before Carpet bumps him up and they kiss sooner than expected]'' Yes! ''[he falls back onto the Carpet, who descends to the ground]'' For the first time in my life, things are starting to go right. ''[Aladdin looks up at Jasmine's balcony, and suddenly the guards' hand grab him]''
:'''Guards''': Aha!
:'''Aladdin''': Hey! What?! ''[muffled]'' Abu? Abu?
:'''Guard''': Hold him!
:''[Razoul grabs Aladdin on his feet and his hands. Razoul ties Carpet in a knot and Jafar approaches]''
:'''Jafar''': I'm afraid you've worn out your welcome, Prince A-Boo-Boo.
:'''Aladdin''': ''[muffled]'' Why, you...
:'''Jafar''': ''[walks away]'' Make sure he's never found.
:''[Razoul hits him in the head, and he falls unconscious. In a cliff, where Razoul laughs as Aladdin's body drops into the water. He is conscious now, but his feet are tied to a rock. The rock hits the sea bottom, then the turban lands and the lamp tumbles out. He sees this and struggles to rub the lamp. However, he loses consciousness and falls to the floor. The lamp, unsettled by his movement, rolls down and rubs against his hands. It shakes, and Genie emerges with a bath brush, rubber duckie, and shower cap]''
:'''Genie''': Never fails. You get in the bath and there's a rub at the lamp. ''[squeaks the duck]'' Hello? ''[sees unconscious Aladdin]'' Al? Al! Kid, snap out of it. You can't cheat on this one, I can't help you unless you make a wish. You have to say, "Genie, I want you to save my life." Got it? Okay. Come on, Aladdin!! ''[he grabs Aladdin by the shoulders and shakes him. His head goes up, then falls]'' I'll take that as a yes. ''[head turns into a siren]'' Wooga! Wooga! ''[turns into a submarine]'' Up scope! ''[he babbles in something that sounds like [[German language|German]]. On the surface, a giant water spout emerges, and lands on top of the cliff. Aladdin reawakes and coughs the water out of his lungs]'' Don't you scare me like that!
:'''Aladdin''': Genie, I-- uh, I- uh, I... ''[he can't think of how to say it, so they just hug each other]'' Thanks, Genie.
:'''Genie''': Oh, Al. I'm gettin' kind of fond of you, Kid. Not that I want to pick out curtains or anything.
:''[Inside Jasmine's room, Jasmine humming "A Whole New World" and unbraids her hair. The Sultan appears in one of the double doors, hypnotized]''
:'''Sultan''': ''[from a distance]'' Jasmine!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Oh, Father-- I just had the most wonderful time. I'm so happy.
:'''Sultan''': ''[tranced]'' You should be, Jasmine. I have chosen a husband for you.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': What?
:'''Sultan''': ''[the other door opens and reveals Jafar]'' You will wed Jafar.
:''[Jasmine gasps. Jafar steps forward, the sight of him]''
:'''Jafar''': You're speechless, I see. A fine quality in a wife.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': I will never marry you. ''[goes to The Sultan]'' Father, I choose Prince Ali!
:'''Jafar''': Prince Ali left!
:''[A quick pan finds Aladdin standing in the doorway to the balcony]''
:'''Aladdin''': Better check your crystal ball again, Jafar!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Prince Ali!
:''[Jafar gasps at the sight of Aladdin]''
:'''Iago''': How in the he-- ''[back to parrot-ese]'' --uh, awk!
:'''Aladdin''': Tell them the truth, Jafar! You tried to have me killed.
:'''Jafar''': What? ''[goes to The Sultan]'' Ridiculous nonsense, Your Highness. He is obviously lying.
:''[Jafar brings the staff close to The Sultan's face]''
:'''Sultan''': Obviously...lying.
:''[Aladdin sees the staff with its glowing eyes]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Father, what's wrong with you?
:'''Aladdin''': I know what's wrong.
:''[Aladdin smashes the head of the staff against the floor, Jafar flinches and the spell is broken for good]''
:'''Sultan''': Oh, oh, oh my!
:'''Aladdin''': Your Highness, Jafar's been controlling you with this! ''[he advances the staff]''
:'''Sultan''': What? Jafar? You, you traitor!
:''[The trio advances on Jafar]''
:'''Jafar''': Your Majesty, all of this can be explained.
:'''Sultan''': Guards! Guards!
:'''Iago''': Well, that's it--we're dead, forget it. Just dig a grave for both of us. We're dead.
:''[But Jafar sees the lamp in Aladdin's pocket. Jafar makes a move, but is arrested by guards]''
:'''Sultan''': Arrest Jafar at once.
:'''Jafar''': ''[a hiss]'' This is not done yet, boy!
:''[Aladdin leaps at him, but Jafar throws down a smoke pellet. A large red cloud appears. Jafar is gone. Jasmine helps Aladdin up, embraces him]''
:'''Sultan''': Find him, search everywhere!
:'''Aladdin''': Jasmine, are you all right?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Yes.
:''[They lean in to kiss, but The Sultan barges between them]''
:'''Sultan''': Jafar, my most trusted counselor, plotting against me all this time. This is horrible, just horrible. How will I ever--
:''[The Sultan notices Jasmine and Aladdin, and looks at the pair]''
:'''Sultan''': Can it be true? My daughter has finally chosen a suitor? ''[she nods]'' Ha, ha! Praise Allah! You brilliant boy, I could kiss you! I won't--I'll leave that to my... ''[Aladdin beams]'' But you two will be wed at once! Yes, yes. And you'll be happy and prosperous, and then my boy, you will be sultan!
:'''Aladdin''': ''[surprised]'' Sultan?
:'''Sultan''': Yes, a fine upstanding youth like yourself, a person of your unimpeachable moral character is exactly what this kingdom needs!
:''[Aladdin looks concerned at this. Inside Jafar's chambers, Jafar and Iago enter]''
:'''Iago''': We gotta get outta here! We gotta get-- I gotta start packing, Your Highness. Only essentials.
:''[Iago starts throwing things out of his cage. Jafar smiles broadly]''
:'''Iago''': We gotta travel light! Bring the guns, the weapons, the knives ''[stops and takes out a picture of himself and Jafar]'' and how about this picture? I don't know--I think I'm making a weird face in it.
:''[Jafar laughs, a bit wildly]''
:'''Iago''': Oh, boy. He's cracked. He's gone nuts. ''[Iago flies down to him and knocks on his head]'' Jafar? Jafar? Get a grip, Jafar! ''[Jafar grabs him around the neck]'' Good grip!
:'''Jafar''': Prince Ali is nothing more than that ragged urchin Aladdin. ''[loosens his grip]'' He has the lamp, Iago.
:'''Iago''': Why that miserable--
:'''Jafar''': But you are going to relieve him of it!
:'''Iago''': Me?
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Outside the palace, Aladdin is looking at the gardens]''
:'''Aladdin''': ''[to himself]'' Sultan? You want me to be "sultan"?
:'''Genie''': ''[comes out of his lamp]'' Huzzah! Hail the conquerin' hero! ''[He turns into a one-man band. He sees Aladdin walk away with his head hung. He stops, scratches his head, comes up with an idea, then zooms over to Aladdin. He holds up his hands like a director scoping a picture and we look through them.]'' Aladdin! You've just won the heart of The Princess. What are you gonna do next?
:''[Aladdin sadly walks to the bed. He goes to him and pulls out a script]''
:'''Genie''': Psst, your line is "I'm going to free the genie." Anytime.
:'''Aladdin''': Genie, I can't.
:'''Genie''': Sure ya can. You just go, ''[grabs Aladdin’s head and uses him as a mock ventriloquist's dummy]'' "Genie, I wish you free."
:'''Aladdin''': ''[pulls him away]'' I'm serious! Look, I'm sorry-- I really am. But they wanna make me Sultan-- no, they wanna make Prince Ali sultan. Without you, I'm just Aladdin.
:'''Genie''': Al, you've won!
:'''Aladdin''': Because of you! The only reason anyone thinks I'm worth anything is because of you. What if they find out I'm not really a prince? What do you bet Jasmine finds out? I'd lose her. Genie, I-I can't keep this up on my own. I... I can't wish you free.
:'''Genie''': ''[obviously hurt]'' Fine. I understand. After all, you've lied to everyone else. Hey, I was just beginning to feel left out. Now, if you'll excuse me, "Master". ''[vanishes into his lamp]''
:'''Aladdin''': ''[picks up his lamp]'' Genie, I'm really sorry. ''[a tongue comes out of the spout and blows raspberry at him, he angrily covers it with a pillow]'' Well, fine! Then just... '''stay''' in there! ''[sees Abu and Carpet looking at him, bitterly but still angry]'' What are you guys lookin' at? ''[Abu and Carpet sadly starts leaving]'' Look, I... I-I'm sor... Abu, I'm sorry. I didn't... Wait. Come on. ''[sighs]'' What am I doing? Genie's right--I gotta tell Jasmine the truth.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[off-screen]'' Ali, oh Ali--will you come here?
:'''Aladdin''': ''[putting on his turban]'' Well, here goes. ''[walks into the garden]'' Jasmine? Where are you?
:''[We see Iago wearing a beak and standing in stilts next of a flamingo in the pond. He is imitating Jasmine's voice]''
:'''Iago''': Out in the menagerie, hurry.
:'''Aladdin''': I'm coming.
:''[We see Aladdin hurry past, not noticing the birds. Iago laughs, then turns back and looks into the face of a flamingo, who is panting and sighs]''
:'''Iago''': Ya got a problem, pinky? ''[he sweeps the bird sneaks from under it. Iago rushes into the palace and finds the lamp under the pillow]'' Boy, Jafar's gonna be happy to see you! Excellent! ''[stretches his face and imitating Jafar's voice]'' Good work, Iago! ''[normal voice]'' Ah, go on. ''[Jafar's voice]'' No, really--on a scale of one to ten, you are an eleven! ''[normal voice]'' Ah, Jafar--you're too kind. I'm embarrassed, I'm blushing.
:''[Iago flies away with the lamp]''
:''[Outside the palace entrance, The Sultan is standing on top, gates open, throngs of people cheering]''
:'''Sultan''': People of Agrabah, my daughter has finally chosen a suitor!
:''[She behind the curtain, where Jasmine is peeking. Aladdin appears at the bottom of the stairs]''
:'''Aladdin''': Jasmine?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Ali, where have you been?
:'''Aladdin''': Jasmine, there's something I've got to tell you.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': The whole kingdom has turned out for father's announcement!
:'''Aladdin''': No. But Jasmine, listen to me, please! You don't understand...
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Good luck!
:''[Jasmine pushes him out onto the platform with The Sultan, the crowd cheers]''
:'''Sultan''': ...Ali Ababwa!
:'''Aladdin''': Oh, boy!
:''[Jafar and Iago are watching The Sultan's coronation.]''
:'''Iago''': Look at them, cheering that little pipsqueak.
:'''Jafar''': Let them cheer. ''[rubs the lamp]''
:'''Genie''': ''[comes out of the lamp]'' Ya know, Al, I'm getting really-- ''[sees Jafar]'' I don't think you're him. ''[reads the script]'' Tonight, the part of Al will be played by a tall, dark and sinister ugly man.
:'''Jafar''': ''[grabs Genie and pins him under his foot]'' I am your master now!
:'''Genie''': I was afraid of that.
:'''Jafar''': Genie, grant me my first wish! I wish to rule on high <big>'''''AS SULTAN!'''''</big>
:''[Outside where dark clouds circle the palace like '''[[w:Dark Cloud|Dark Cloud]]'''. The palace earthshakes. The roof rips off and The Sultan and Aladdin duck.''
:'''Aladdin''': Whoa!
:'''Sultan''': Bless my soul. What is this? What's going on? Oh, my goodness, what's happening?
:''[His turban lifts off his head. When The Sultan grabs it, his whole body flies up, then is stripped of all his clothing except his underwear. The clothes reappears in Jafar]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Father.
:''[Jafar laughs evilly]''
:'''Sultan''': Jafar, you vile betrayer.
:'''Iago''': That's Sultan Vile Betrayer to you.
:'''Aladdin''': Oh, yeah? Well, we'll just see about that! ''[pulls off his own turban, but finds it empty]'' The lamp!
:'''Jafar''': Finders-keepers, Abooboo.
:''[They both look up and see a gigantic Genie lift the palace into the thunder cackling. Aladdin gasps. The Genie destroys the palace. Aladdin whistles and Carpet flies up to greet him. The villagers run and scream. They fly up near the Genie's head]''
:'''Aladdin''': Genie! No!
:'''Genie''': Sorry, kid--I got a new master now.
:''[The Genie places the palace on top of a mountain]''
:'''Sultan''': Jafar, I order you to stop!
:'''Jafar''': Ah, but there's a new order now--my order! Finally, you will bow to me!
:''[The Sultan bows, but Jasmine does not]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': We'll never bow to you!
:'''Iago''': Why am I not surprised?
:'''Jafar''': If you will not bow before a sultan, then you will cower before a sorcerer! ''[to Genie]'' Genie, my second wish--I wish to be the most powerful sorcerer in the world!
:''[Genie extends his finger. Aladdin tries to stop him, but he cannot, and another Genie (tm) brand lightning bolt strikes Jafar, returning him to his normal look]''
:'''Iago''': Ladies and gentlemen, a warm Agrabah welcome for Sorcerer Jafar!
:'''Jafar''': Now where were we? Ah, yes--abject humiliation!
:''[Jafar zaps Jasmine and The Sultan with his staff, and they both bow to him. Rajah comes running at him. He zaps Rajah, and the tiger turns into a kitty-cat]''
:'''Jafar''': Down, boy! Oh, Princess. ''[lifts her chin with his staff]'' There's someone I'm dying to introduce you to.
:'''Aladdin''': ''[off-camera]'' Jafar! Get your hands off her!
:''[Jafar zaps Aladdin. Carpet flies away]''
:'''Jafar''': ''[singing]'' Prince Ali / Yes, it is he / But not as you know him / Read my lips / And come to grips / With reality / Yes, meet a blast from your past / Whose lies were too good to last / Say hello to your precious Prince Ali.
:'''Iago''': Or should we say Aladdin?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Ali?
:'''Aladdin''': Jasmine, I tried to tell you.
:'''Jafar''': ''[singing]'' So Ali / Turns out to be / Merely Aladdin / Just a con / Need I go on? / Take it from me / His personality flaws / Give me adequate cause / To send him packing on a one-way trip / So his prospects take a terminal dip / His assets frozen / The venue chosen / It's the ends of the earth, whoopee / So long...
:'''Iago''': Goodbye, see ya!
:'''Jafar''': ''[singing]'' ...ex-Prince Ali... ''[laughs]''
:''[Jafar has zapped Abu back to normal. He sends the two of them into a tall pillar, then launches it like a rocket, but not before Carpet can get in. Fade to black, then open on to a snowy wasteland, where the pillar crashes and rolls. It finally comes to a stop. Aladdin emerges, obviously very cold]''
:'''Aladdin''': Abu? ''[echoing]'' ABUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! ''[He turns back to the shivering pile of snow]'' Oh, this is all my fault. I-I should have freed The Genie when I had the chance!
:''[Aladdin digs out Abu and cradling him inside the vest]''
:'''Aladdin''': Abu, are you okay?
:'''Abu''': Mmm-hmm.
:'''Aladdin''': I'm sorry, Abu-- I made a mess of everything, somehow. I gotta go back and set things right.
:''[Aladdin steps out through the snow, and he eventually steps on a frozen Carpet]''
:'''Aladdin''': Carpet!
:''[Aladdin looks up and sees Carpet is pinned by the pillar. Aladdin tugs to try and free Carpet. He can't do it, so he begins to remove snow from the base of the pillar]''
:'''Aladdin''': Abu, start digging! That's it!
:''[Finally, enough snow has been removed, and the pillar begins to roll. Aladdin runs away, looks back, then slides into place. The pillar rolls over him, and when it is gone, Aladdin and Abu are left sitting in the patch of snow made by the window of the pillar]''
:'''Aladdin''': Yeah! All right!
:''[Aladdin looks up at his turban, made out of scared Abu. Carpet shakes off the snow and runs over to pick them up]''
:'''Aladdin''': Now, back to Agrabah! Let's go!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Outside the Agrabah, shrouded in red clouds. Inside the throne room, Iago has The Sultan, dressed in jester's clothes, and Jasmine is chained next to the throne]''
:'''Iago''': Puppet ruler want a cracker? Here's your cracker. Shove 'em all the way down your throat. Here, have lots!
:''[Jafar pulls the chain, and Jasmine walks up to him holding an apple]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Stop it! Jafar, leave him alone!
:''[Iago stops for a second, then continues]''
:'''Jafar''': It pains me to see you reduced to this, Jasmine. ''[he takes a bite out of the apple she is holding]'' A beautiful desert bloom such as yourself should be on the arm of the most powerful man in the world. ''[he waves his finger and a crown appears]'' What do you say, my dear? Why, with you as my Queen...
:''[Jasmine picks up a glass of wine and throws it in his face]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Never!
:'''Jafar''': I'll teach you some respect! ''[she falls back as he raises his hand to slap her, then he stops]'' No. Genie, I have decided to make my final wish. I wish for Princess Jasmine to fall desperately in love with me.
:''[We see Aladdin race back into town]''
:'''Genie''': ''[again as Buckley]'' Ah, master, there are a few addendas, some quid pro quos...
:'''Jafar''': ''[whirls on him]'' Don't talk back to me, you big blue lout!
:''[Jasmine looks up and sees Aladdin, peering around a window, Abu and the Carpet at his play along]''
:'''Jafar''': You will do what I order you to do, slave!
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[stands and puts the crown on her head]'' Jafar! I never realized how incredibly handsome you are.
:''[The Genie's jaw drops]''
:'''Jafar''': Mmm. That's better. ''[pulls the Genie's jaw up like a shade]'' Now, pussycat, tell me more about... myself.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': You're tall, dark, well dressed...
:''[Jafar walks over to her. Aladdin jumps down with Abu and Genie sees them]''
:'''Genie''': Al! Al, little buddy!
:'''Aladdin''': Shh!
:'''Genie''': ''[literally zips his mouth shut, then unzips it]'' Al, I can't help you--I work for Señor Psychopath, now. ''[his head turns into Jafar's, then back]'' What are you gonna do?
:'''Aladdin''': Hey-- I'm a street rat, remember? ''[he rezips Genie's mouth]'' I'll improvise.
:''[Aladdin slides down a pile of coins and hides close to Jafar and Jasmine. Jafar's back is to Aladdin]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Cute little gaps between your teeth.
:'''Jafar''': Go on.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': And your beard...is so...twisted! You've stolen my heart.
:''[Jasmine has handsome arms around him. Jasmine pretends to twist with her finger, but she is actually motioned for Aladdin to come over, he makes his move. Iago sees him]''
:'''Iago''': Jaf--mmmmmm!
:''[Abu grabs him and covers his mouth]''
:'''Jafar''': And the Street Rat?
:'''Princess Jasmine''': What street rat?
:''[When Iago manages to knock over a bowl. Jafar turns to look, but Jasmine grabs him back and kisses him. He looks disgusted. Iago and Abu both look disgusted]''
:'''Abu''': Yecch!
:'''Jafar''': That was... ''[sees Aladdin's reflection in Jasmine's crown]'' <big>'''''YOU!'''''</big> ''[He zaps Aladdin just as he is about to reach his respective lamp. Genie watches in shock]'' How many times do I have to kill you, boy?
:''[Jasmine rushes him, and he angrily throws her to the ground. Aladdin bravely rushes toward him and heroically grabs his staff]''
:'''Aladdin''': Get the lamp!
:'''Jafar''': No! ''[Jasmine runs to do so, but Jafar shakes off Aladdin, but evilly zaps her into an hourglass]'' Ah, ah, ah, Princess. Your time is up!
:'''Aladdin''': Jasmine?
:''[Sand begins to flow from the top onto her, and she immediately realizes what will happen]''
:'''Iago''': Oh, nice shot, Jaf–
:''[Abu angrily knocks Iago out with the fruit bowl that fell earlier and rushes for the lamp]''
:'''Jafar''': Don't toy with me!
:''[Abu is almost to the lamp, but the blast from Jafar's staff turns him into a toy monkey, with cymbals and a wind-up key]''
:'''Aladdin''': Abu!
:''[Carpet rushes in and grabs the lamp as he flies side-by-side, but Jafar zaps him as well]''
:'''Jafar''': Things are unraveling fast now, boy! ''[Carpet unravels in midair, ending up as a pile of tangled threads and tassels. The lamp bounces away and lands in front of Aladdin]'' Get the point? ''[Aladdin runs for the lamp, but his path is blocked by a ring of large swords sticking in the floor. Aladdin reaches for his lamp, but the opening is too narrow for him to get far enough, and Jafar evilly grabs it]'' I'm just getting warmed up! ''[evilly breathes fire around Aladdin, setting the ring on fire. The Street Rat, however, yet stands his ground]''
:'''Aladdin''': <big>'''''ARE YOU AFRAID TO FIGHT ME YOURSELF, YOU COWARDLY SNAKE?!'''''</big>
:'''Jafar''': ''[emerges through the fire, suddenly getting an idea from Aladdin's statements]'' A snake, am I? Perhaps you'd like to see how snake-like I can be!
:''[He transformation into a snake, and the ring of fire around Aladdin becomes part of the snake encircling Aladdin. From inside the hourglass, Jasmine watches Jafar's transformation in shock. Meanwhile, Snake Jafar snaps at Aladdin twice, and on the third try, Aladdin swings the sword and hits Jafar. The giant snake yells in pain. Cut to four Genies as cheerleaders wearing "A" sweaters]''
:'''Genie''': ''[in unison]'' Rickem, rockem, rackem, rake--stick that sword into that snake!
:'''Jafar''': ''[to Genie angrily]'' You stay out of this-s-s-s!
:''[The Genies merge back into one and he waves a pennant, not wishing to root for his evil current master]''
:'''Genie''': ''[dryly]'' Jafar, Jafar, he's our man--if he can't do it, <big>'''''GREAT!!!'''''</big>
:''[Meanwhile, Aladdin uses the distraction from his genie to make a break for the hourglass where Jasmine is trapped. However, Jafar sees this and blocks the path. Aladdin is thrown off, and loses his sword. He hears a shout from Jasmine]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Aladdin!
:''[Aladdin turns to see Jasmine already knee-deep in sand. He bravely jumps on a large gem and heroically slides across the floor, bravely grabbing his sword along the road. He turns a corner, but the pursuing snake cannot, and the front half of Jafar smashes through a wall and hangs outside the palace. Aladdin bravely jumps up on the snake's back and heroically stabs him hard. Jafar shrieks in agony. Cut to Aladdin, who is once again trying to free Jasmine. At this point, she is now neck-deep in sand, and sinking fast]''
:'''Aladdin''': Jasmine, hang on!
:''[He is about to hit the glass with a piece of wood he caught earlier until Jafar grabs him]''
:'''Jafar''': ''[laughs hideously]'' You little fool! You thought you could defeat the most powerful being on Earth?
:'''Iago''': ''[with Genie coming up behind him]'' Squeeze him, Jafar! Squeeze him like a--awk! ''[Genie elbows him out of the road, all the while trying to look innocent]''
:'''Jafar''': Without the Genie, boy, you're nothing! ''[Aladdin suddenly glances down at Genie, who shrugs his shoulders, not knowing what to do either]''
:'''Aladdin''': The Genie? ''[has an idea]'' The Genie! <big>'''''THE GENIE HAS MORE POWER THAN YOU'LL EVER HAVE!'''''</big>
:'''Jafar''': ''[shocked]'' What?!
:'''Aladdin''': <big>'''''HE GAVE YOU YOUR POWER! HE CAN TAKE IT AWAY!'''''</big>
:'''Genie''': ''[concerned]'' Al, what are you doing? Why are you bringing me into this?
:'''Aladdin''': <big>'''''FACE IT, JAFAR, YOU'RE STILL JUST...SECOND-BEST!'''''</big> ''[Jafar thinks for a moment, and realizes Aladdin's right. Genie's "phenomenal cosmic powers" far surpass his, meaning that he yet can't call himself the most powerful being as he thought]''
:'''Jafar''': You're right, his power does exceed my own. But not for long! ''[Jafar circles around the Genie, aiming to rectify the power discrepancy between him]''
:'''Genie''': ''[hesitantly]'' The boy's crazy. He's a little punch-drunk. ''[turns his hand into a cobra puppet and beats himself with it]'' One too many hits with the snake.
:'''Jafar''': ''[imperatively]'' Slave, I make my third wish!! I wish to be an all-powerful Genie! ''[Aladdin looks down at Genie from Jafar's coils, and Jasmine, who is now almost buried in sand, looks toward her captor as well. Then Genie sighs in defeat, knowing he has no choice but to comply with Jafar's request]''
:'''Genie''': ''[reluctantly]'' Alright, your wish is my command. Way to go, Al.
:''[Genie zaps Jafar with the last Genie-brand lightning bolt. Jafar's snake form dissipates, freeing Aladdin and he begins his transformation into a Genie. One shies from using the word "orgasmic" in a [[w:Walt Disney Animation Studios|Disney]] animated feature script]''
:'''Jafar''': Yes! Yes! The power! The absolute power!
:''[At this point, all that remains of Jasmine before she disappears under the sand is her raised hand. Thankfully, Aladdin runs over and eventually smashes the glass. The sand, along with Jasmine pours out, and she coughs a bit. Jafar rises out of the palace and towards outer space like '''[[w:Star Wars (film)|Star Wars]]''', getting larger as his power grows. Down below, the wind blows fiercely to signal what's to follow]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[to Aladdin frightfully]'' What have you done?!
:'''Aladdin''': Trust me!
:''[Suddenly, a black lamp, similar to that of Genie's, appears at Jafar's base, though he is too busy manipulating the stars and planets like to notice at]''
:'''Jafar''': The universe is mine to command, to control!
:'''Aladdin''': <big>'''''NOT SO FAST, JAFAR! AREN'T YOU FORGETTING SOMETHING?'''''</big>
:''[Jafar looks down at him questioningly, confused as to what the Street Rat is speaking about]''
:'''Jafar''': Huh?
:'''Aladdin''': <big><big>'''''YOU WANTED TO BE A GENIE, YOU'VE GOT IT!'''''</big></big>
:'''Jafar''': ''[shocked]'' <big>'''''WHAT?!'''''</big>
:'''Aladdin''': ''[back to normal]'' <big><big><big>'''''AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH IT!'''''</big></big></big>
:''[Aladdin holds up the black lamp, and it begins to suck Jafar in. He tries to escape, but its power is too strong]''
:'''Jafar''': '''''NO! NO!!'''''
:'''Iago''': I'm gettin' outta here!
:'''Aladdin''': <big><big><big>'''''Phenomenal cosmic powers!'''''</big></big></big>
:'''Jafar''': <big>'''''NOOOOOOOOO!!!!'''''</big>
:''[Iago tries to fly off, but Jafar grabs him, and he gets sucked in as well]''
:'''Iago''': Come on, you're the genie, I don't want--
:''[With one final clank, Jafar and Iago are sucked inside his lamp, and that is the last we see of them]''
:'''Aladdin''': Itty-bitty living space.
:'''Genie''': ''[ruffles Aladdin's hair]'' Al, you little genius, you!
:''[As a result of being trapped in his lamp, all of Jafar's magic undoes itself. First, Abu turns back into a real monkey and Carpet re-ravels himself. Next, Jasmine, The Sultan and Rajah stand together, and the tiger jumps up into The Sultan's arms. Just then, they are all transformed back into their regular clothes, and Rajah, now an adult tiger again, almost crushes him. Eventually, the palace reappears back in the ciy from where it was taken. Aladdin holds Jafar's lamp as he and Iago start arguing]''
:'''Jafar''': Get your blasted beak out of my face!
:'''Iago''': Oh, shut up, you moron!
:'''Jafar''': Don't tell me to shut up!
:'''Genie''': Allow me. Ten thousand years in the Cave of Wonders oughtta chill him out. ''[flicks the lamp explosion into the desert]''
:'''Jafar''': ''[last words]'' Shut up!
:''[Jafar and Iago continue to argue as they fade out]''

:''[Last lines; Jasmine walks over to Aladdin. They hold hands, but both look sad]''
:'''Aladdin''': Jasmine, I'm sorry I lied to you about being a prince.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': I know why you did.
:'''Aladdin''': Well, I guess this is goodbye. ''[Genie pokes his head around the corner shocked at what he is hearing]''
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Oh, that stupid law. This isn't fair. I love you.
:'''Genie''': ''[wipes away a tear]'' Al, no problem. You still got one wish left. Just say the word and you're a prince again.
:'''Aladdin''': But what about your freedom?
:'''Genie''': Hey, it's only an eternity of servitude. This is love. ''[he leans down next to her]'' Al, you're not gonna find another girl like her in a million years. Believe me, I know. I've looked.
:'''Aladdin''': Jasmine, I do love you. But I gotta stop pretending to be something I'm not.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': I understand.
:''[They take one final look into each other's eyes, then Aladdin turns to the Genie]''
:'''Aladdin''': Genie, I wish for your freedom.
:'''Genie''': One prince pedigree coming up. I... What?
:'''Aladdin''': ''[he holds the lamp up to Genie]'' Genie, you're free.
:''[A transformation scene ensues, in which the shackles fall off Genie's wrists and the lamp falls uselessly to the ground. Genie picks it up and looks at it]''
:'''Genie''': ''[he can't believe it; laughing]'' I'm free. I'm free. ''[he hands the lamp to Aladdin]'' Quick, quick, wish for something outrageous. Say, "I want the [[Nile]]." Wish for the Nile. Try that.
:'''Aladdin''': Uh, I wish for the Nile.
:'''Genie''': No way. ''[laughs hysterically. He bounces around the balcony like a pinball]'' Oh, does that feel good! I'm free. I'm free at last. I'm hittin’ the road. I'm off to see the world. I'm...
:''[He is packing a suitcase, but looks down and sees Aladdin looking very sad]''
:'''Aladdin''': Genie, I'm... I'm gonna miss you.
:'''Genie''': ''[smiling, with a tear in his eye]'' Me too, Al. No matter what anybody says, you'll always be a prince to me.
:''[They hug. The Sultan steps forward]''
:'''Sultan''': That's right. You've certainly proven your worth as far as I'm concerned. It's that law that's the problem.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': Father?
:'''Sultan''': Well, am I sultan or am I sultan? From this day forth, The Princess shall marry whoever she deems worthy.
:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[she smiles widely and runs into Aladdin's arms]'' Him. I choose... I choose you, Aladdin.
:'''Aladdin''': ''[laughs]'' Call me Al.
:''[They are about to kiss when giant blue hands pull everybody together. Genie is decked out in a [[w:Hawaiian shirt|Hawaiian shirt]] with golf clubs and a [[Goofy]] hat]''
:'''Genie''': All of you, come over here. Big group hug. Do you mind if I kiss the monkey? ''[he kisses Abu]'' Ooh, hairball. Well, I can't do any more damage around this popsicle stand. ''[takes off]'' I'm outta here! Bye-bye, you two crazy lovebirds! Hey, Rugman, Ciao, I'm history. No, I'm mythology. I don't care what I am! I'm free-hee!
:''[The Genie flies up into the blue sky leaving a trail of sparkles behind him. They cut (a jump cut to make matters worse) to fireworks exploding over a nightscape. We tilt down and see Aladdin and Jasmine flying on Carpet]''

:'''Princess Jasmine''': ''[singing]'' A whole new life.
:'''Aladdin and Princess Jasmine''': ''[with off-camera chorus]'' For you and me!
:'''Chorus''': A whole new world!
:''[They fly off into the moonlight, and after they have disappeared, the moon turns and reveals the Genie's laughing face. Suddenly the film is grabbed "off the projector", the Genie lifts it up and looks at the audience]''

* The supporting characters are all depicted as nasty mean, people. While the Aladdin character, Jasmine and her father speak unaccented, standard Americanized English all the bad guys speak in foreign accents. The lesson is that anyone with a foreign accent is bad. This is horrendous racism.

'''[[w:Being|Being]]''' is a broad concept encompassing objective and subjective features of reality and existence.
{{Philo-stub}}
== Quotes ==
* Even to say "Being simply ''is''" is to impose upon Reality the human conceptions of noun, verb, and adverb, the human logic of grammar and syntax, and thus to falsify it, since there are no categories in Nature's warpless, woofless web.
** [[John Barth]], "How to Make a Universe" (1960), in ''The Friday Book'' (1984). Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1997, p. 22
*Between being and nothingness there is no middle ground.
**[[Gustavo Bontadini]], ''Appunti di filosofia'', Vita e Pensiero, 1996.
*''Wir kommen für die Götter zu spät und zu''
:''früh fürs Sein. Das Gedicht des Seins, erst''
:''begonnen, ist der Mensch''.
:* We are too late for the gods
::and too early for being
::being’s poem, just begun, is man.
::* [[Martin Heidegger]], in ''Basic Writings'', p. 37
* '''[[Anaximander]]... taught that the primary substance was [[Infinity|infinite]], [[Eternity|eternal]] and ageless and... encompassed the world.''' This... is transformed into the various substances... [[Theophrastus]] quotes from Anaximander: "Into that from which things take their rise they pass away once more... for they make reparation and satisfaction to one another for their [[injustice]] according to the ordering of [[time]]." In this... '''the [[wikt:antithesis#Noun|antithesis]] of Being and [[w:Process philosophy|Becoming]] plays the fundamental role. The primary substance, [[Infinity|infinite]]... [[eternity|ageless]]... [[Holism|undifferentiated]] Being, degenerates into... forms which lead to endless struggles. ...Becoming''' is ...a ...debasement of the infinite Being—a disintegration into the struggle ultimately [[wikt:expiate#Verb|expiate]]d by a return into that ...without shape or character. The struggle ...is the opposition between hot and cold, fire and water, wet and dry, etc. ...[T]emporary [[victory]] ...is the injustice for which they ...make reparation in the ordering of time. ...'''[T]here is "eternal motion," the creation and passing away of worlds from infinity to infinity.'''
** [[Werner Heisenberg]], ''Physics and Philosophy'' (1958) [https://archive.org/details/physicsphilosoph0000heis_n9m9/page/60/mode/1up?view=theater pp. 60-61.]
* Through Hegel, everyone is now familiar with the dialectic of becoming. That which in the process of becoming is the alternation between being and non-being is later the negative and the positive. In our time, we often enough hear talk about the negative and about negative thinkers, and in that connection often enough hear the preaching of the positive ones and their prayers offering thanks to God and Hegel that they are not like those negative ones but have become positive. In the domain of thinking, the positive can be classed in the following categories: sensate certainty, historical knowledge, speculative result. But this positive is precisely the untrue. Sensate certainty is a delusion, historical knowledge is an illusion, and the speculative result is a phantom. That is, all this positive fails to express the state of the knowing subject in existence; hence it pertains to a fictive objective subject, and to mistake oneself for such a subject is to be fooled and remain fooled.
** [[Soren Kierkegaard]], ''[[Concluding Unscientific Postscript]]'' (1846), Hong trans., p. 81
* There is one story left, one road: that it is. And on this road there are very many signs that, '''being, is uncreated and imperishable, whole, unique, unwavering, and complete.'''
** [[Parmenides]] (fl. early 5th century BC) Frag. B 8.1-4, quoted by [[w:Simplicius of Cilicia|Simplicius]], ''Commentary on the Physics'', 144.
* Λέγω δὴ τὸ καὶ ὁποιανοῦν τινα κεκτημένον [[wikt:δύναμις|δύναμιν]] εἴτ᾿ εἰς τὸ ποιεῖν ἕτερον ὁτιοῦν πεφυκὸς εἴτ᾿ εἰς τὸ παθεῖν καὶ σμικρότατον ὑπὸ τοῦ φαυλοτάτου, κἂν εἰ μόνον εἰς ἅπαξ, πᾶν τοῦτο ὄντως εἶναι· τίθεμαι γὰρ ὅρον ὁρίζειν τὰ ὄντα, ὡς ἔστιν οὐκ ἄλλο τι πλὴν [[wikt:δύναμις|δύναμις]].
** I'm saying that a thing really is if it has any [[wikt:δύναμις|capacity]] at all, either by nature to do something to something else or to have even the smallest thing done to it by even the most trivial thing, even if it only happens once. I'll take it as a definition that ''those which are'' amount to nothing other than ''[[wikt:δύναμις|capacity]]''.
*** [[Plato]], ''[[w:Sophist (dialogue)|Sophist]]'', 247e, as translated by Nicholas P. White, in ''Plato: Complete Works'' (1997), p. 269
* Whatever we postulate as a beginning of pure science must be, as such, not yet scientifically determined. It is the object of pure science to develop a system, and of course the beginning cannot be a system. Since in pure science we must not receive determinations (attributes, qualities, categories, definitions, logical terms, &c.) except those justified and defined by the system, any determination that we postulate, and that is not objectively evolved, must be regarded as unscientific and therefore rejected. Determination and negation are identical, and the complete removal of determination or negation should give us pure being as a beginning or starting-point of our system. Were our system to start with any other category, as for example with the Ego, that category must be as empty as pare being; if not, it would contain pure being plus determinations, and thus duality would be present before the system had evolved it. It would be ostensibly seized as a simple somewhat, and yet the mind would mean something else more concrete. Science has to do with what is expressed and not with what is merely meant. Hence, unless Science is to start unscientifically, it must commence with pure Being.

:''[First lines; The movie begins with a colored backing. A magnificent, masked man in a black-and-blue superhero suit is sitting in a chair: mid-twenties, ruggedly handsome and powerfully built, he fiddles with a clip-on microphone. We're watching a faded documentary, shot in 16mm. A title fades in, identifying the man as [[w:Mr. Incredibles|Mr. Incredible]]]''
:'''Mr. Incredible''': Is this on?
:'''Interviewer''': ''[off-screen]'' That’s fine.
:'''Mr. Incredible''': ''[muttering to himself]'' I can break through walls, I just can’t…
:'''Interviewer''': ''[off-screen]'' That’s fine.
:'''Mr. Incredible''': I can’t get this on.
:'''Interviewer''': ''[off-screen]'' So, Mr. Incredible, do you have a secret identity?

:''[On-screen text: A Pixar Animation Studios Film]''
:'''Frozone''': Super Ladies, they’re always tryna tell you their secret identity. Think it’ll strengthen the relationship or somethin' like that. I said, "Girl, I don’t wanna '''''know''''' about your mild-mannered alter ego." or anything like that. I mean, you tell me you’re a super-mega-ultra-lightnin'-babe, that’s alright with me. I’m good. I’m good.
:'''Mr. Incredible''': No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved, you know? For a little bit. I feel like the maid. I just cleaned up this mess. Can we keep it clean for ten minutes?
:'''Interviewer:''' I could get to that point.
:'''Mr. Incredible:''' Please?
:'''Interviewer:''' Wait, no, don’t get up. We’re not finished.

I don’t think so. I don’t think so. ''[fades to black. On-screen Text: The Incredibles. Sirens wail as lights flash, we're in the middle of a classic car chase: A police car in hot pursuit of another car driven by armed bank robbers. The robber riding shotgun primes his sub-machine gun and unloads on the cop car, which swerves into oncoming traffic to avoid the hail of bullets. Bob Parr, a dashing, golden-haired man in his thirties listens to his radio. If he looks familiar, it's because he is the same man we saw earlier: Mr. Incredible, minus the mask and super-suit. Suddenly the music is interrupted by an announcement]''
:'''Police Radio:''' We interrupt for an important bulletin. A deadly high-speed pursuit between police and armed gunmen is underway, traveling northbound on San Pablo Avenue.
:''[Bob presses a button. The radio flips: converting to a screen filled with a moving aerial map of the city streets. He selects "Isolate Pursuit". Two red dots appear, moving quickly over the map. He makes a hard right turn. Looks at the screen. A tiny "i" icon (Mr. Incredible's logo) closes in on the two red dots. He checks his watch]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Yeah, I’ve got time.
:''[He presses another button: "Auto-drive" and selects "Merge Pursuit". Bob takes his hands off the wheel and a rapid series of automated actions begin: the seat back drops flat; the passenger seat folds against the window as the driver's seat slides to the center. Bob raises his arms as metal bands lock around his waist, then separate, sliding apart toward his head and his toes, removing his clothes to reveal his slick, brightly colored Mr. Incredible super-suit underneath. He presses another button: the car's exterior converts into the coolest retro-futuristic vehicle ever seen: The Incredi-Bile. Mr. Incredible looks up: Through the windshield we see an old lady waving him down]''
:'''Old Lady:''' Mr. Incredible. Um, Mr. Incredible…
:''[Mr. Incredible pulls up. His window whooshes open]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' What is it, ma’am?
:'''Old Lady:''' ''[pointing to tree]'' My cat, Squeaker, won’t come down.
:''[Mr. Incredible glances at his screen: the pursuit is headed his way. He thinks, making some quick calculations, then]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Certainly, ma’am! But I suggest you stand clear. There could be trouble.
:'''Old Lady:''' No, no. He’s quite tame.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Let go now! ''[cat yowls]''
:''[The cop car pulls back in behind the robbers' car. The cops are firing now and closing in. Mr. Incredible and the cat tree. Nervously checking the pursuit on his video screen, Mr. Incredible rips the tree out of the ground. He tips it, leaning it across to the old lady just as the car chase squeals into view at the end of the block. Mr. Incredible sees this and hastily shakes the tree, trying to dislodge Squeaker. The car chase. The cars swerve into view now, bordering the park that Mr. Incredible is in. Mr. Incredible sees them and shakes Squeaker harder. Chase cars close in. Mr. Incredible. Car chase. Squeaker. Chase. Squeaker, one final shake: Squeaker drops into the Old Lady's hands. Mr. Incredible raises the tree up and slams it down on the hood of the crooks' car, squashing it like a bug. Mr. Incredible tamps down the loose dirt at the base of the freshly replanted tree and smiles at his admirers]''
:'''Police Officer #1:''' Thank you, Mr. Incredible. You’ve done it again.
:'''Police Officer #2:''' Yeah, you’re the best.

:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Tour bus robbery. I’ve still got time. Officers. Ma’am. Squeaker.
:''[Mr. Incredible jumps into the Incredi-Bile and is startled to find a pudgy kid wearing a mask and a homemade superhero costume sitting in the passenger seat. This is Buddy Pine aka IncrediBoy]''

:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' What the…? Who are you supposed to be?
:'''Buddy (IncrediBoy):''' Well, I’m lncrediBoy.

:''[A trail of stolen goods scattered across a rooftop leads us to a mugger. He mutters to himself as he roots through a stolen purse, disregarding some items, stuffing others into his pockets. A shadow looms on the wall behind him]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' You know. ''[the snatcher looks up. He grins]'' you can tell a lot about a woman by the contents of her purse, but maybe that’s not what you had in mind.

:''[Mr. Incredible closes in on him. The snatcher drops the purse and pulls a gun. Suddenly, an arm stretches and punches the snatcher's jaw.

:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Elastigirl.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Mr. lncredible.

:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Sure, you’ve got him. I just took him out for you.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Sure, you took him out. His attention was on me.

:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' I have a previous engagement.

:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible)''': Now, you just stay here. They usually pick up the garbage in an hour.
:'''Frozone''': Hey, Incredible!
:''[Mr. Incredible turns. A helicopter sweeps past, machine guns blazing back towards its pursuer. Frozone swoops down, hot on its tail, surfing a sheet of ice that materializes in his path]''

:''[Mr. Incredible runs to the edge of the building and looks down. A large crowd is gathered on the streets below. Mr. Incredible follows their upwards gaze to the roof of a skyscraper with a man, Oliver Sansweet, who stands poised to jump, then does. Mr. Incredible quickly gauges distances, and then dives off the edge, making a spectacular leap, and tackles him in mid-air and then breaking through an enormous window on the far side, and tumbles to the floor in a shower of glass. Safe]''
:''[Off-screen: the people outside are now clapping in applause]''
:'''Sansweet''': I think you broke something.

A silhouette emerges from the newly blown hole in the wall; a tall, rangy man in a mime costume carries two stuffed duffel bags. This is Bomb Voyage. He surveys the scene with a wicked smile. A vault door is embedded into the wall directly opposite the hole. It moves aside, revealing Mr. Incredible behind it, dazed but unharmed. He sees the mime and growls]''

:''[Both Mr. Incredible and Voyage turn and stare in disbelief at the kid, who awkwardly flies over to them]''
:'''Bomb Voyage''': IncrediBoy?
:'''IncrediBoy''': Hey, hey! Aren’t you curious about how I get around so fast? See? I have these rocket boots.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Go home, Buddy.
:'''IncrediBoy:''' What?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Now.
:'''Bomb Voyage:''' '''''Petit mufe va!''''' [Translation: Little oaf…]
:'''IncrediBoy:''' ''[he takes Bob aside]'' Can we talk? You always, always say be true to yourself, but you never say which part of yourself to be true to. Well, I’ve finally figured out who I am. I am your ward…IncrediBoy!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' And now, you have officially carried it too far, Buddy.
:''[Mr. Incredible grabs Bomb Voyage before he could get away. There is an ugly flash in Buddy's eyes]''
:'''IncrediBoy:''' This is because I don’t have powers, isn’t it? Well not every superhero has powers, you know. You can be super without them. [re: his rocket boots] I built these. I can fly. Can you fly?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' ''[warns IncrediBoy]'' Fly home, Buddy. I work alone.
:'''Bomb Voyage''': ''[last words]'' <big><big>'''''Et ton costume est complètement ridicule!'''''</big></big> [Translation: And your outfit is totally ridiculous!]
:'''IncrediBoy:''' Just give me one chance! ''[to Bomb Voyage]'' I’ll show you. I’ll go get the police.
:''[As Buddy jogs to the shattered window, Mr. Incredible sees that Voyage has sneakily clipped a small bomb onto Buddy's cape]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Buddy, don’t!
:'''IncrediBoy:''' It’ll only take a second, really.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' ''[takes off after him]'' NO, STOP! There’s a bomb!
:''[Mr. Incredible grabs Buddy's cape just as "IncrediBoy" takes off, taking Mr. Incredible with him. Mr. Incredible and the boy rocket wildly out of control, spraying sparks in every direction, Mr. Incredible grabbing at the cape desperately for the bomb]''

:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Will you just…?? I’m trying to help! Stop!
:'''IncrediBoy:''' Let go of my cape!
:''[Mr. Incredible finally grabs hold of the bomb and flings it free. Both he and the bomb fall onto the elevated train tracks below. The bomb explodes, blowing away a large section of track. Mr. Incredible groggily looks up; A train is coming. And heading straight for the section of track that is no longer there. Mr. Incredible sets his jaw and starts running toward the oncoming train, leaping the chasm to intercept the train before it gets there. Mr. Incredible pulls up and plants himself. The expression on his face says it all: this is going to hurt. The train hits; Mr. Incredible taking the full impact. Rail ties break behind Mr. Incredible's feet, spraying in all directions as Mr. Incredible, miraculously, wrestles the train to a stop]''
:''[Finally, Police and paramedics have arrived, cordoning off the accident scene and treating the injured. At last, Mr. Incredible hands Buddy over to the police]''

:''[The cops shove Buddy into the backseat of their car]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' The injured jumper. You sent paramedics?
:'''Police Officer:''' They’ve already picked him up.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' The blast in that building was caused by Bomb Voyage who I caught in the act robbing the vault. Now, we might be able to nab him if we set up a perimeter.
:'''Police Officer #2:''' You mean he got away?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Well, yeah. '''''Skippy here''''' made sure of '''''that'''''.
:'''IncrediBoy:''' ''[last words]'' IncrediBoy!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' You’re not affiliated with me!!
:''[A tiny alarm sounds. Mr. Incredible checks his wristwatch]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Holy smokes, I’m late. Listen, I’ve gotta be somewhere.
:''[Mr. Incredible signals the Incredi-Bile with a remote. It roars into view, squeals to a stop next to him]''
:'''Police Officer:''' What about Bomb Voyage?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Any other night, I’d go after him myself, but I really gotta go. But don’t worry. We'll get him! Eventually!
:''[Mr. Incredible fires the afterburners. The cops watch in dismay as the Incredi-Bile roars off]''
:''[He enters, dressed smartly in a tux, fumbling with his tie]''

:'''Huph:''' You know, Bob...
:''[He moves a letter that says:]''
:''[Memo: Policy Notification]''
:''[To: Employee]''
:''[From: Gilbert Huph]''
:''[Due to financial cutbacks, you will be expected to self-expense all office supplies, including but not limited to pencils, erasers, pens, paper, stationery, folders, staples, paper clips, brads, and photocopies. All parking will now be metered by the hour. Electricity consumption and all telephone charges will be deducted from your paycheck.]''
:''[The Board of Directors at Insuricare wishes to thank you for your selfless sacrifice through this time of financial uncertainty. It is because of you, the employee, that Insuricare has recorded its highest profit in years. Remember, a successful company makes for successful employees. Every penny you save is another penny that goes in....'' ''[the rest is covered by Huph's finger]''
:''[Salutations, Gilbert Huph]''
:'''Huph:''' ...a company...
:'''Bob:''' Is like an enormous clock.
:'''Huph:''' ...is like an enormous clo- Yes, precisely! It only works...if all the little cogs...mesh together! Now, a clock needs to be clean, well-lubricated and wound tight. The best clocks have jewel movements, cogs that fit, that cooperate by design. ''[chuckling]'' I’m being metaphorical, Bob....You know what I mean by cooperative cogs? Bob...?...Bob...?
:''[seriously grabs Bob by the chin and angrily pulls him toward him]'' '''''LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU, PARR!'''''
:''[Outside the window, Bob sees a man is being mugged]''
:'''Bob:''' That man out there, he needs help!
:'''Huph:''' Do '''''NOT''''' change the subject, Bob! We’re discussing <big><big>'''''YOUR! ATTITUDE!'''''</big></big>
:'''Bob:''' He is getting mugged!
:'''Huph:''' Well, let’s hope we don’t cover him!
:'''Bob:''' ''[gets up out of his seat and heads for the door]'' I’ll be right back. ''[puts his hand on the doorknob]''
:'''Huph:''' <big><big><big>'''''STOP RIGHT NOW, OR YOU'RE FIRED!'''''</big></big></big> ''[Bob stops, crushes the doorknob and angrily turns red]'' ''[Huph grins evilly]'' Close the door. ''[Bob reluctantly does]'' Get over here...now. ''[Bob lets go of the doorknob, now crushed out of shape, and walks over to Huph.]'' ''[seriously]'' I’m not happy, Bob. Not happy. ''[Bob watches the mugger getting away]''
:'''Bob:''' ''[seething]'' He got away.
:'''Huph:''' Good thing, too... heh! You were this close to losing your j-
:''[Bob furiously grabs Huph by the throat and throws him through 5 office walls. Huph crashes into a filing cabinet, badly injured. Everyone stares at Bob in shock]''
:'''Bob:''' Uh-oh.
:''[Cut to the hospital where Huph is seen in a full body cast in a hospital room]''
:'''PA:''' Please report to operating room 722 immediately.
:''[Rick Dicker comes out of the room where Huph is hospitalized. Bob and Rick conversate while heading to the elevator.]''
:'''Bob:''' How is he?
:'''Rick:''' He’ll live.
:'''Bob:''' I’m fired, aren’t I?
:'''Rick:''' Oh, you think?
:'''Bob:''' What can I say, Rick?
:'''Rick:''' Nothin' you haven’t said before.
:'''Bob:''' Someone was in trouble.
:'''Rick:''' Someone’s always in trouble.
:'''Bob:''' I had to do something.
:'''Rick:''' Yeah. Every time you say those words, it means a month and a half of trouble for me, Bob. It means hundreds of thousands of taxpayer’s dollars.
:''[Rick reaches and presses the down elevator button.]''
:'''Bob:''' I know.
:'''Rick:''' We gotta pay to keep the company quiet. We gotta pay damages, erase memories, relocate your family. Every time it gets harder. Money, money, money, money, money. W-We can’t keep doin' this, Bob! ''[he enters the elevator]'' We appreciate what you did in the old days, but those days are over. From now on, you're on your own.
:''[Bob stares at the floor, beaten. Rick looks at him with pity. Then as the elevator doors close, Rick stops it with his left arm]''
:'''Rick:''' Uh, listen, Bob.
:'''Rick:''' Maybe I could relocate you. You know, for old times’ sake.
:'''Bob:''' No. I can’t do that to my family. Everyone just got settled. I’ll make it work. Thanks.
:''[Rick stares at Bob a long moment. A bittersweet smile—]''
:'''Rick:''' Take care of yourself.
:''[Rick lets go of the elevator doors. Bob stares at them, numb]''

:''[Bob climbs out of his car and is surprised to find Rusty on the Big Wheel, waiting in exactly the same spot as the day before]''
:'''Bob:''' Well, what are you waiting for?
:'''Rusty:''' I don’t know...something amazing, I guess....
:''[A rueful smile blooms and dies on Bob's face]''
:'''Bob:''' Me too, kid.
:''[Cut to a cramped, windowless museum of Mr. Incredible arcana. Walls and shelves cluttered with mementos of his storied past: framed photos, newspaper front pages, magazines, and, displayed on the wall under Plexiglas, his Mr. Incredible suit. Bob enters and closes the door. He opens his briefcase, pulls out an Insuricare employee manual. He growls and rips it in half, tossing it in the trashcan. On a roll now, he begins to dump the entire contents of his briefcase into the trash when—CLUNK! Bob double-takes— startled by the heavy sound. He peers over the edge of the desk, into the trash, and sees— a large manila envelope. He picks it up, and is surprised it's heavy. He opens it and pulls out a flat panel about a half-inch thick. On it is printed "This End Up". He turns the panel as instructed. In the center is a small circle with writing beneath it. Bob squints, unable to read the tiny letters. He brings it closer—his point of view: As the letters... slowly... come... into... focus]''
:'''Bob''': Huh? Hold still?
:''[Suddenly, the panel projects a blue grid over Bob's face, we hear a robotic male voice]''
:'''Tablet''': Match: Mr. Incredible.
:''[Bob drops the panel in surprise. It clatters to the floor, still functioning. A small foot-long rod with the metal ball at the top pops out from the panel, the ball at the tip makes a quick, single revolution, scanning the surrounding room with a vertical beam]''
:'''Tablet''': Room is Secure. Commence Message.
:''[The panel flickers. It's a video screen. An image appears, the beautiful platinum blonde woman who visited earlier that day is seen]''
:'''Mirage:''' Hello, Mr. Incredible. Yes, we know who you are. Rest assured, your secret is safe with us. My name is Mirage. We have somethin' in common. According to the government, neither of us exist. Please pay attention, as this message is classified and will not be repeated.
:''[Bob quickly gets to his pencil case and tries a pencil; one is not working and then he grabs one that works. He starts taking notes on Mirage's message.]''
:'''Mirage:''' I represent a top-secret division of the government, designing and testing experimental technology, and we have need of your unique abilities. Something has happened at our testing facility. A highly experimental attack robot...
:'''Helen:''' ''[interrupting]'' Honey!
:'''Bob:''' Huh? What?
:'''Helen:''' Dinner’s ready!
:'''Bob:''' Okay!
:'''Mirage:''' ...has escaped control. Although it is contained within an isolated area, it threatens to cause incalculable damage to itself and to our facilities, jeopardizing hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of equipment in research...
:'''Helen:''' ''[interrupting]'' Is someone in there?
:'''Bob:''' It’s the TV, trying to watch!
:'''Mirage:''' Because of its highly sensitive nature, this mission does not, nor will it ever, exist.
:'''Helen:''' Well, stop trying. It’s time for dinner!
:'''Bob:''' One minute!
:'''Mirage:''' If you accept, your payment will be triple your current annual salary. ''[Bob's jaw goes slack. He scribbles "BIG$"]'' Call the number on the card. Voice-matching will be used to ensure security. The supers aren’t gone, Mr. Incredible. You’re still here...You can still do great things! Or...you can listen to police scanners. Your choice. You have 24 hours to respond. Think about it.
:''[The device shuts off. Bob realizes what Mirage said....and he looks at his past, knowing that this one chance could bring his glory days back...he then looks at his old suit, with a smile.]''
:''[Beeping, as Mirage's phone number is printed on a holographic card.]''
:'''Tablet:''' This...message...will...self-destruct.
:'''Bob:''' Uh-oh.
:''[He stumbles out of the office in a cloud of smoke. The smoke rises and triggers the fire alarm and sprinkler system. Violet shuts off panel, while Dash expresses joy.]''
:''[Helen is moving the chairs from the table; the front door is open to air out the house. Books of all kinds are on the counter as Bob uses a hair dryer to dry the pages]''
:'''Helen:''' You...are one distracted guy.
:'''Bob:''' Hmm? Am I? I don’t mean to be.
:'''Helen:''' I know you miss being a hero and your job is frustrating. I just want you to know how much it means to me that you stay at it anyway.
:'''Bob:''' Honey? About the job?
:'''Helen:''' What?
:'''Bob:''' Something’s happened.
:'''Helen:''' ''[concerned]'' '''What?'''
:'''Bob:''' The, uh...
:'''Helen:''' '''''What...'''''
:'''Bob:''' The company is sending me to, uh, a conference.
:'''Helen:''' A conference?
:'''Bob:''' ''[stammering]'' Out of town. And I’m just gonna be gone for a few days.
:'''Helen:''' They’ve never sent you to a conference before.... This is good, isn’t it?
:'''Bob:''' ''[hesitating]'' Yes.
:'''Helen:''' You see? They’re finally recognizing your talents.... you’re moving up!
:'''Bob:''' Yes.
:'''Helen:''' Honey! Awww...This is wonderful!
:'''Bob:''' Yes, it is.
:''[calls the number on the card. Mirage's number is shown: 866-787-7476]''
:'''Mirage:''' ''[over phone]'' Hello?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' This is Mr. Incredible....I’m in.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[A sleek-looking Manta Jet slices the sky. Bob, clad in his old (and now too-tight) Mr. Incredible suit is on board along with Mirage. She is briefing Bob on his mission.]''
:'''Mirage:''' The Omnidroid 9000 is a top-secret prototype battle robot. Its artificial intelligence enables it to solve any problem it’s confronted with. And unfortunately...
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Let me guess. It got smart enough to wonder why it had to take orders.
:'''Mirage:''' We lost control. And now it’s loose in the jungle, threatening our facility. We’ve had to evacuate all personnel from the island for their own safety.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' How am I going in?
:'''Mirage:''' The Omnidroid’s defenses necessitate an airdrop from 5,000 feet. Its cloaking devices make it difficult to track. Although we’re pretty sure it’s on the southern half of the island. One more thing. Obviously, it represents a significant investment.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' You want me to shut it down without completely destroying it.
:'''Mirage:''' You '''''are''''' Mr. Incredible.
:''[Bob is on an advanced seat, he puts his belt on, and the seat shifts into a bed, as it is about to enter a shuttle. However, being out of shape is causing a problem to get him into the shuttle. The soldier then increases the seat power and it successfully gets Mr. Incredible in the shuttle.]''
:'''Mirage:''' I’ve got to warn you, it’s a learning robot. Every moment you spend fighting it only increases its knowledge of how to beat you.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Shut it down. Do it quickly. Don’t destroy it.
:'''Mirage:''' And '''''don’t die.'''''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Great. Thanks.
:''[The shuttle ejects. It rockets down the island. After stopping, it propels with two blades. After a while, it lands. Mr. Incredible tries to get out, but his belly won't let him out. He goes back in and punches the shuttle in half. He flexes and gets ready.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Showtime.
:''[He explores the jungle, prepares to find the Omnidroid.]''
:''[He sees a blade mark on a tree and a cross on the grass. Suddenly, the Omnidroid surprises him from behind, as it tries to impale him unsuccessfully. It slashes a 3rd time, only against a mark on Mr. Incredible's arm. Mr. Incredible leaps over the robot and throws a punch that sends it flying to a tree.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' ''[gruntingly]'' Yeah!
:''[The Omnidroid gets up, and the real fight begins.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Uh-oh.
:''[The Omnidroid charges at him, as he leaps over. The robot unfortunately calculated his leaping arc, and that allowed it to swat him mid-air, slamming Mr. Incredible into another tree that toppled onto the Omnidroid. But the robot rolled out of its way, and reformed. The robot curled up again to crush him, only for Mr. Incredible to dodge it, as it knocks down some trees before charging at him quickly. Mr. Incredible sprints his way off, but he almost gets crushed by the robot as he jumps over a cliff, slides on it, and lands. The Omnidroid arrives at a similar pace, as it receives a boulder from our hero. The Omnidroid does the same 3 times, the latter hitting Mr. Incredible. It almost impales him unsuccessfully. Its claw is lodged in the cliff, as the hero runs for safety. The Omnidroid pulls its limb out of the cliff and leaps high into the air, intent on crushing Mr. Incredible, who leapt out of the way and landed in the lava fields. The Omnidroid lands and makes an attempt to push Mr. Incredible into the lava as he tried to push back. After a few seconds however, he lets out a scream while using his maximum strength and jerk-pulls the robot aside into the lava.]''
:''[Bob laughs in what he thought was his victory, but after trying to spin, his spine cracks.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' AH! Ow, ow, ow! OH, MY BACK!
:''[The Omnidroid suddenly bursts out of the lava through a piece of the stone platform, making it crack. It proceeds to spin its claws, as Mr. Incredible leaps on a chunk of rock. But then the Omnidroid grabs him by his feet with one of its claws and slams him to the ground before grabbing his arms with another. It begins to pull him apart.... until it stops when it accidentally fixes his back.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Oh....Hahaha!
:''[He then jack-knifes, ripping the claw off one of its arms. He runs under the robot, as it uses its lower sensor cluster. Just as it spots its target, he rips it off, and climbs inside the robot, as it unintentionally starts damaging itself. After a while, it stops, weakened. Mr. Incredible punches off its upper sensor cluster, as it whistles while <nowiki>''</nowiki>riding<nowiki>''</nowiki> the robot. The robot tries to pull him out, but it accidentally tears out its CPU. Mr. Incredible jumps out of the robot and casually walks away, as the Omnidroid motionlessly falls down.]''
:''[A mecha-macaw observed everything, as it zooms to the screen.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' ''[first words; silhouetted, to Mirage]'' Surprising. We must bring him back. Sound the all-clear, and…invite him to dinner.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Mr. Incredible is in a pod, inside the volcano's magma flows. He waits for Mirage in a huge dining room, while peeking to see who the mysterious man was.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' ''[silhouetted]'' Most important, keep things light. Praise him. Make him feel like we appreciate his abilities.
:''[He hides back and pretends to have waited long enough.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Am I overdressed?
:'''Mirage:''' Actually, you look rather dashing.
:''[They head to the dining table and sit.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I take it our host is...
:'''Mirage:''' Oh, I’m sorry. He won’t be dining with us. He hopes you’ll understand.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Of course. I do usually make it a point to know who I’m working for.
:'''Mirage:''' He prefers a certain amount of anonymity. Surely, you of all people understand that.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I was just wondering, of all the places to settle down, why live...
:'''Mirage''': In a volcano? He’s attracted to power. So am I. It’s a weakness we share.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Seems a bit unstable.
:'''Mirage:''' I prefer to think of it as misunderstood.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible)''' ''[chuckling]:'' Aren’t we all?
:'''Mirage:''' Volcanic soil is among the most fertile on Earth. Everything at the table was grown right here. How does it compare?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Everything’s delicious.
:''[Bob raises his glass. Mirage smiles and does likewise]''
:''[MONTAGE: INCREDIBLE AGAIN — His self-esteem back, Bob returns home with renewed vigor. He bonds with his kids, gets frisky with Helen, and takes pride in his new appearance. He buys a new snazzy sports car for himself, and a new car for Helen. After he says goodbye to Helen several mornings, clearly pretending to go off to the job he no longer holds at Insuricare, we see how he's actually spending his days; dropping weight and getting in shape. The Superheroic workouts do their job; Bob is in the best shape he's been in many years.]''

:''[Bob, now dressed in a more expensive and tailored version of his Insuricare suit, pauses to examine the torn spot on his Mr. Incredible supersuit]''
:'''Bob:''' Ah, jeez.
:'''Helen:''' Hurry, honey! Or you’ll be late for work! ''[Bob quickly stuffs his SUPERSUIT into his briefcase and snaps it shut.]'' Have a great day, honey.
:'''Bob:''' Thanks.
:'''Helen:''' Help customers, climb ladders...
:'''Bob:''' Bring bacon?
:'''Helen:''' All that jazz.
:''[Bob drives away. He pulls up to an imposing gate, a futuristic web of parallel laser beams. He turns toward a video screen and presses a button beneath it. The video screen lights up, revealing a burly guard]''
:'''Guard:''' You have an appointment?
:'''Bob:''' I’m an old friend. I just wanted to...
:'''Guard:''' All visitors are required to make a reser—
:''[The guard suddenly flinches from something below camera, and is shooed offscreen by a strident, husky female voice. A pair of huge glasses fronting the top half of a head rises into the bottom half of the screen, out of focus. This is Edna Mode, known by her friends simply as "E."]''
:'''Edna Mode:''' ''[shoos the guard away]'' Get back to work! Go check the electric fence or something! What is it? Who are you? What do you want?
:''[Bob lowers his sunglasses]''
:'''Edna Mode:''' Yes, you’ve gotten fat. Come in, Come, come!
:''[The gate opens, and Bob drives up the long driveway that winds up the hill to E's tastefully arty palace.]''
:''[E leads Bob through the tasteful, minimalistic entranceway into her massive living room. E is in her early sixties, half German, half Japanese, and like both of those small countries, not to be underestimated.]''
:'''Edna Mode:''' Yes, things are going quite well. Quite well. My God, no complaints. But, you know, it is not the same. Not the same at all.
:'''Bob:''' Weren’t you just in the news? Some show in Prayge...Prague?
:'''Edna Mode:''' Milan, darling. Milan. Supermodels. Ha! Nothing super about them. Spoiled, stupid, little stick figures with poofy lips who think only about themselves. Feh! I used to design for gods.... but perhaps you come with a challenge, eh? I was surprised to get your call.
:'''Bob:''' E, I just need a patch job.
:''[Bob hands E his damaged suit. She examines it, frowning.]''
:'''Edna Mode:''' Hmm. This is megamesh. Outmoded, but very sturdy. And you’ve torn '''''right through it'''''! What have you been '''''doing''''', Robert? Moonlighting hero work?
:'''Bob:''' Musta happened a long time ago.
:'''Edna Mode:''' I see. This is a '''''hobo suit''''', darling, you can’t be seen in this! ''[throws it away]'' I won’t allow it! Fifteen years ago, maybe, but now?
:'''Bob:''' ''[takes it out of the garbage]'' What do you mean? You designed it.
:'''Edna Mode:''' I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now. You need a new suit. That much is certain.
:'''Bob:''' A new suit? Where the heck am I gonna get a new suit?
:'''Edna Mode:''' '''''You can't!''''' It’s impossible! I’m far too busy. So ask me now, before I again become sane....
:'''Bob:''' Wait....you want... to make me... a suit?
:'''Edna Mode:''' You push too hard, darling! But I accept. It will be bold. Dramatic!
:'''Bob:''' Yeah.
:'''Edna Mode:''' Heroic!
:'''Bob:''' Yeah, something classic, like Dynaguy! Oh! He had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots—
:'''Edna Mode:''' No capes! ''[She throws a paper ball at him.]''

:''[The jet sub cruises through a fantastic seascape of exotic otherworldly rock formations, toward the base of the island through vast curtains of bubbles created from a field of cooling lava. A massive door opens, revealing a huge underwater docking bay. The ship enters, the entrance closing behind them. The water drains. The jet sub settles to a landing. A giant docking tube extends from a side wall and connects to the side of the jet sub. Bob turns as a door opens, revealing a small side chamber and a pair of shapely legs. Mirage leans into view.]''

Although this is his second time here, Bob is seeing the island with new eyes. It is a WONDER. The monopod track disappears straight into a rushing waterfall. Suddenly the waterfall parts, the water separating like an enormously long chiffon curtain, revealing the intricately designed architecture hidden underneath. Continuing as it enters a vertical tube and zooms upward into the dark. Elevator doors slide open crisply. Bob enters and takes in the room. It is small, open and tasteful, with a balcony overlooking a breathtaking view of the jungle and the ocean beyond.]''

:''[Bob turns to run, but the Omnidroid is fast. It grabs him and flings him into the outside air. Bob sails to the edge of the jungle, landing with a thud. Before he can react, the robot has him again and slams him into the ground. A voice comes over a loudspeaker.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' '''''It’s bigger! It’s badder!'''''
:''[The robot seizes Bob in one giant claw, turning two others into whirling blades. They close in on Bob's neck — when Syndrome descends from the sky on jet-boots, landing on top of the enormous robot]''
:'''Syndrome:''' '''''Ladies and gentlemen, it's... too much for Mr. Incredible!'''''
:''[Syndrome reveals himself.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' Whoa, Whoa! Whoa! It’s finally ready! ''[He shuts down the blades of the Omnidroid.]'' You know, I went through quite a few supers to get it worthy to fight you, but man, it wasn’t good enough!! After you trashed the last one, I had to make some major modifications. Sure it was difficult, but you are worth it. I mean, after all... I am your biggest fan.
:''[Bob suddenly recognizes some familiarity with his rejected sidekick]''
:'''Bob:''' Buddy?
:'''Syndrome:''' ''[furiously yells at Mr. Incredible]'' My name is not... <big><big><big>'''''BUDDY!!!!'''''</big></big></big> ''[The Omnidroid throws Bob on the floor. Syndrome lands]'' And it’s not Incrediboy either! That ship has sailed. All I wanted was to help you. I only wanted to HELP! AND WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME?! ''[flashback to a shot from the prologue, softened by memory.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Fly home, Buddy. I work alone. ''[Buddy, still in his IncrediBoy costume, but without the mask, glowers up at his poster to Mr. Incredible and tears it off the wall]''
:'''Syndrome''' ''[as the flashback ends]'': It tore me apart. But I learned an important lesson: You can’t count on anyone. '''Especially''' your heroes.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I was wrong to treat you that way. I’m sorry!
:'''Syndrome:''' See? Now you respect me, because I’m a ''threat''. That’s the way it works. Turns out there’s a lot of people, whole countries who want respect. And they will pay through the nose to get it. How do you think I got rich? I build weapons. And now I have a weapon only I can defeat. And when I unleash it, I’ll get— Ah! ''[Mr. Incredible throws a log at Syndrome, but he dodges it hastily. He gets back up and freezes Mr. Incredible with a zero-point energy beam]'' ''[laughing]'' You sly dog! You got me monologuing! I can’t believe it. ''[He slams Bob into the ground.]'' It’s cool, huh? Zero-point energy. I saved the best powers for myself. ''[He continues throwing Bob around with the ZPE ray.]'' Am I good enough now? Who’s super now? I’m Syndrome! Your nemesis and- ''[He makes a grandiose gesture with his arms, inadvertently flinging Mr. Incredible into the jungle.]'' Oh, brilliant. ''[Bob lands somewhere on a lake. Syndrome spots him and flies towards him. Bob jumps down while Syndrome watches him falling into the bade of a waterfall. He taps a button in his wrist cuff, which activates a tiny bomb.]'' All right, try this one on for size, big boy. ''[He drops it to the base of the waterfall. Bob spots the bomb as he tries to swim away from it, although he is soon caught in the blast. He emerges out of the water, gasping, in a cave system. He turns his head, and leaps back, realizing he is face to face with a skeleton. Slowly, he moves back towards the skeleton, noticing that it has an eye visor and a cape. He rubs some dirt from the emblem over the eyes: the emblem reads "GB".]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Gazerbeam? ''[The skeleton is still sitting up, and Bob is compelled to follow its gaze to the adjacent cave wall. There — presumably in his dying moments, Gazerbeam had burned a word into the rock: "KRONOS".]'' Kronos? ''[He suddenly hears a probe entering the cave. He hides behind Gazerbeam's skeleton. The probe scans the room, does a quick scan of Gazerbeam's skeleton and leaves. The view cuts to the probe returning to Syndrome's wrist cuff.]''
:'''Probe:''' Life reading negative. Mr. Incredible terminated. ''[Syndrome walks away in a satisfied smile for his plans.]''

:''[Cut to Edna's palace; E and Helen are walking down the hallway to her lab]''
:'''Edna Mode:''' This project has completely confiscated my life, darling. Consumed me as only hero work can. My best work, I must admit. Simple, elegant, yet bold. You will die.
:'''Helen:''' E, I just...
:'''Edna Mode:''' I did Robert’s suit, and it turned out so beautiful, I had to continue.
:'''Helen:''' E, it’s great to see you, but I gotta tell you I have no idea what you’re talking about. I just...
:'''Edna Mode:''' Yes, words are useless. Gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble! Too much of it, darling. TOO MUCH! That is why I '''''show you''''' my work. That is why you are here!
:''[She turns to the wall and rapidly executes an elaborate series of security measures; punches a fifteen-digit code with her left hand, while pressing her right hand against a biometric scanner. It flashes, as she exposes her eyes to a retinal scan which causes a microphone to extend from the wall to her lips]''
:'''Edna Mode:''' Edna Mode. ''[In a flash: a ceiling panel opens, and out pops an enormous gun, which trains its sights on Helen. E sees this, turns back to the microphone, adding hastily]'' And guest. ''[The weapons retreat]''
:''[The gun retreats into the ceiling. The wall in front of them opens dramatically, revealing Edna's testing lab. A large, ultra-sophisticated work area, dedicated to the design, fabrication, and testing of superhero suits. E crosses to a large, raised platform mounted to a track running parallel to a glassed-in chamber, and sits in one of the two chairs facing it. Between the chairs is a small table with a fresh pot of coffee and assorted cookies. E motions Helen to join her]''
:'''Edna Mode:''' Come. Sit. Cream and sugar?
:''[Hands Helen the cup of coffee]''
:'''Helen:''' Thanks.
:'''Edna Mode:''' I started with the baby.
:'''Helen:''' '''''Started?'''''
:'''Edna Mode:''' Shh! Darling! Shh! ''[Inside the chamber, a panel opens. A small, featureless baby mannequin in a tiny red suit (sporting the same "i" insignia as Bob's) mounted to a post emerges, tracking slowly from one end of the chamber to the other.]'' I cut it a little roomy for the free movement. The fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin ''[Helen jumps back as E continues talking. Flamethrowers throw fire at the suit without leaving burn marks]'' and can also withstand a temperature of over 1000 degrees. Completely bulletproof. ''[machine guns train on the suit and empty rounds into it without causing any damage]'' And machine washable, darling. That’s a new feature.
:'''Helen:''' What '''''on Earth''''' do you think the baby will be doing??
:'''Edna Mode:''' Well, I’m sure I '''''don’t know''''', darling. Luck favors the prepared. I didn’t know the baby’s powers, so I covered the basics.
:'''Helen:''' Jack-Jack doesn’t have any powers.
:'''Edna Mode:''' No? Well, he’ll look fabulous anyway.
:''[As the baby suit exits one end, the panel reopens on the other side. Another mannequin Dash's size swings into the smoky chamber; its arms and legs slowly churning in a "running" motion which gradually accelerates into a blur.]''
:'''Edna Mode:''' Your boy’s suit I designed to withstand enormous friction without heating up or wearing out. A useful feature. ''[The Dash suit departs into the wall as a new suit enters. It's Violet's.]'' Your daughter’s suit was tricky. But I finally created a sturdy material that will disappear completely as she does. ''[it briefly disappears and then reappears. Helen's suit moves into view. Robot arms enter from above and below, clamp to the sleeves of the arms and pants, and begin to pull them while twisting them]'' Your suit can stretch as far as you can, without injuring yourself, ''[the suit gets stretched]'' and still retain its shape. Virtually indestructible... ''[two missiles fire at the suit, but the suit sustains no damage]'' yet it breathes like Egyptian cotton. As an extra feature, each suit contains a homing device, giving you the precise global location of the wearer at the touch of a button. ''[hands Helen one, showing the tracking location of one of the suits, specifically Bob's]'' Well, darling? What do you think?
:'''Helen:''' What do I think? '''''Bob''''' is retired! '''''I’m''''' retired! Our family is underground. You helped my husband resume secret hero work behind my back?!
:'''Edna Mode:''' Well, I assumed you '''''knew''''', darling. Why would he keep secrets from '''''you'''''?
:'''Helen:''' He wouldn’t. Didn’t. Doesn’t.
:'''Edna Mode:''' Men at Robert’s age are often unstable. Prone to weakness.
:'''Helen:''' What are you saying?
:'''Edna Mode:''' Do you know where he is?
:'''Helen:''' Of....cours-

:''[Back in Nomanisan, Bob is hiding in brush at the top of a cliff. Along the waterline far below, a monopod streaks toward him along a track which curves around the coastline. Bob crouches... and dives — we fall with him, whistling through the air until we hit a palm tree. The palm bends, slowing Bob's drop before he expertly releases it and drops into another palm directly below it. Bob leaps onto the roof of the pod, quickly dispatching the guards inside, tossing them into the ocean. Bob seats himself at the controls, as the pod races toward Syndrome's base and a security checkpoint. Two guards look up as they hear the monopod approach. A sparking wheel carriage arrives at the gate, its cab completely torn off and missing. Suddenly alert, the guards cock their guns and aim into the dark. We hear a distant grunt. A moment later the cab falls from the sky, crashing on top of the guards. Bob runs through the wrecked gate, toward the base. Bob pulls up behind some trees. There are several guards; two at the vehicle entrance, another at the balcony above. Bob thinks a bit, looks down and finds a coconut. With expert precision, he throws it at the balcony guard, beaning him. He falls off the balcony and hits the ground.]''

Bob sees shadows of guards approaching, he's out in the open and about to be caught when — the door suddenly sweeps up and opens, taking Bob with it. A medical transport comes out of the open bay, and as the door moves closed behind it, we see Bob drop into the garage. Elevator. Bob emerges in the dining hall and stares at the lava fall. He knows there is a secret passage behind it. He picks up a large stone sculpture in the shape of a Moai head and readies to run into the lava fall. One... two... thr— Bob is startled by a flash of light behind the fall; the passage is opening. He loses his balance, struggling to set the massive sculpture back into place before Mirage enters. Bob rushes into the closing passage. Jumps clear just as passage closes. A series of parallel floor lights click on. Bob follows them to an elaborate chair in the center of the room, lit from above. Bob sits down in the chair. A giant. curved screen lights up in front of him, with a blinking cursor in its center. Bob types in "KRONOS". The computer screen refreshes: Bob is in.]''

:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Shh. It isn’t your fault. It wasn’t fair for me to suddenly ask so much of you. But things are different now. And doubt is a luxury we can’t afford anymore, sweetie.

As Helen passes a metal door, she catches sight of her reflection in its shiny surface. She stops, and frowns. It's been a while since her last supersuit; her butt is a bit bigger than she remembered. She wonders if she should lose a few — when the whoosh of a door surprises her. A guard comes through the door at the far end of the hall. As he enters another junction, we see that Helen has contorted herself, arching perfectly around the door frame. The guard doesn't see her. He slides a card key through a reader to enter a restricted corridor. The doors whoosh open. Directly behind him, Helen silently re-forms and begins to back through the doorway when the doors behind her slide shut — trapping her leg. She winces, tries in vain to pull it free. It's stuck.

:''[A Velocipod bursts out of the brush after him and he takes off, tearing through the jungle. Running fast, Dash grabs a long vine — which sends him out in a wide arc that surprises the trailing guard. He shoots past Dash and roars off into the undergrowth. Dash releases the vine, tumbling roughly to his feet, and runs. A Velocipod bursts out of the brush and is on top of him. Impossibly, Dash accelerates, staying just ahead of it. He sees another vine, grabs it and is propelled upwards. Dash explodes out of the canopy, flailing, out of control. He looks down and sees — the treetops suddenly drop away. Dash is falling off a cliff, screaming his ten-year-old lungs out as he lands on a Velocipod! Fleetingly astonished by his good luck, Dash looks up as the startled guard whirls around to face him. The guard swings. Dash ducks and reluctantly throws a punch at the guard's face. It lands! Thrilled that his raw speed renders the guard powerless to dodge or return his punches, Dash laughs and, growing more confident with each punch, socks the guard again and again, blissfully unaware that no one is driving. Dash looks up. His jaw drops: a rock wall looms ahead! Dash points at it. The guard sees an opening and socks Dash in the face, knocking him off just as — the Velocipod slams into the cliff face, vaporizing in a fireball, killing the guard]''

He pants, heart racing, and looks down to see — his feet dangling about a yard off the jungle floor. Elated about his survival, Dash drops to the ground and lets out a loud whoop, immediately alerting two guards on Velocipods nearby to his presence. They turn their V-pods after him. With Dash as he bolts again, accelerating to breakneck speed. He smashes through an endless succession of foliage — nearly colliding with tree trunks and rocks and suddenly — a lagoon lies in front of him. Dash reacts: the V-pods are on his tail, he has nowhere to go, so he takes a deep breath and steps on it — and has enough velocity to run across the water! Amazed and exhilarated, Dash blasts across the water's surface, weaving like a speedboat around the large volcanic rocks jutting out of the water. Velocipods open fire... strafing the water as Dash is pursued into a cave. Velocipod #2 pulls up short at the cave entrance and chooses to go around.]''
:'''Dash:''' Uh-oh.

The guard fires, strafing the ground just behind a succession of footprints that streak toward the river moments before a splash appears. We see a Violet-shaped distortion as bullet trails furiously slice the surrounding water. Still firing. He stops, unnerved and adrenalized. Tensed and ready, he nervously scans the river.]''
:'''Guard:''' I know you’re there, Little Miss Disappear. You can’t hide from me.

A hail of bullets ricochet off the force field.]''

The Incredibles instantly jump to their feet: Helen throws a stretched scissor kick which catches a guard in the chest, knocking him out of his V-pod. Bob chops a second passing Velocipod — it plows straight into the soft jungle floor. Before its pilot can react — Helen's arm is coiled around him. She yanks him from the vehicle, whiplashing him into another guard, knocking them both out cold. Bob grabs the crashed V-pod and Frisbees it into a V-pod from the trees - boom! And it's over.

:''[The stereo plays soft jazz as Lucius (aka Frozone) dresses for dinner. He slaps some aftershave on his face, checking his look in the mirror. A low series of booms grows louder, causing him to look up to see the Omnidroid outside his apartment wreaking havoc on Municiberg; a military chopper strafing it with machine-gun fire. He immediately goes through his dresser drawers.]''
:'''Lucius:''' '''Honey?!'''

:''[Cut back to the Omnidroid destroying the city. The driver of a gasoline tanker truck screeches to a halt, his eyes bugging out at the rampaging Omnidroid]''
:'''Man:''' RUN!
:''[He jumps from the truck just as the Omnidroid seizes the tanker in a giant claw and flings it down the street. A young mother sees it arcing toward her baby carriage.]''
:'''Woman:''' MY BABY!
:''[Syndrome holds the tanker in place just above the carriage and woman. The crowd is immediately electrified by the sight of the red-haired Superhero.]''
:'''Man:''' The Supers have returned!
:'''Woman:''' Is that Fironic?
:'''Man:''' Fironic?
:'''Woman:''' No, Fironic has a different outfit!
:'''Syndrome:''' No, no, I’m a new superhero! I’m SYNDROME!
:''[Syndrome carelessly flings the tanker truck behind him with a flourish. It explodes, frightening the crowd. The Omnidroid moves towards him.]'' All right, stand back. ''[The Omnidroid reaches a massive claw toward Syndrome, who presses a series of buttons on his power cuff. The robot freezes suddenly, idling. Syndrome smiles, pressing another series of buttons on his remote.]'' Someone needs to teach this hunk of metal a few manners. ''[Putting on a good show, Syndrome flies around the idling bot, and delivers a punch to one of its leg sockets.]''
:'''OMNIDROID'S P.O.V.''': Technical readouts spray across its viewscreen as it confirms Syndrome's instructions: RESTRAIN BATTLE MODE. DETACH ARM AT SIGNAL.
:'''Syndrome:''' Ha, ha!
:''[On cue, one of the Omnidroid's limbs suddenly falls out of its socket, thudding uselessly to the ground. As Syndrome revels in the cheers of the crowd, we push in on the Omnidroid. It's watching Syndrome. And thinking — OMNIDROID'S P.O.V.: Technical readouts spray across its viewscreen as it analyzes: CONTROL STOLEN BY EXTERNAL SIGNAL.]''
;LOCATE SOURCE: EXTERNAL SIGNAL
:Columns of numbers are crunched. The Omnidroid's lens-eye zooms in on the control bands around Syndrome's wrist — SIGNAL SOURCE: REMOTE CONTROL — and comes to a logical conclusion: OVERRIDE EXTERNAL CONTROL
:DESTROY REMOTE CONTROL
:''[The Omnidroid fires a precise laser shot, blasting the remote right off Syndrome's wrist. It clatters to the street. Syndrome whirls around in horror as the bot goes after him. He flies out of control, and he crashes onto a building. He lands, tries to get up and falls unconscious soon after.]''
:''[Frozone appears on the scene. High above the earth — another rocket, identical to the first one, descends from the clouds. Again, it separates into quarters which fall away, revealing the landing craft inside — and only then do we notice what's different about it: in the center of the large, perfectly round hole designed to house the Omnidroid is — the command vehicle, precariously held in place by a very stretched, very stressed Helen. Inside the command vehicle Bob is at the wheel, Vi and Dash are seated at a small table in the back.]''
:'''Dash:''' ''[exasperated]'' Are we nearly there yet?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' We'll get there when we get there!
:''[opens the window; to Helen, who is suspended from the Omnidroid's lander, clutching its sides and holding the van in place as loose debris is scattered everywhere.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' How you doing, honey?
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Do I have to answer?!
:''[The giant wing is descending, gliding closer to the water, as the city looms closer directly ahead.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Kids, strap yourselves down like I told you!
:''[Violet and Dash move to the seats at the monitor panels, belting themselves in. Bob opens his window, yells up to Helen]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Here we go, honey! Ready, Violet? ''[Violet holds a hand over a giant, jerry-rigged release switch.]'' Ready? Now! ''[Violet slams the switch. The explosive bolts fire, separating the wing. Helen let's go with a pained shout, swings inside through the window. Bob steps on the gas. The command vehicle wheels spin. Bob tenses as he watches the speedometer move past 110, 120, 130.]'' This is gonna be rough! ''[The command vehicle sails over an overpass, clipping a light pole, and crashes to the pavement in a shower of sparks. It flies down the street at 200 MPH. Fighting to keep control, Bob hits the brakes. Smoke erupts from the wheel wells.]'' The robot’s in the financial district. Which exit do I take?
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Traction Avenue.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' That'll take me downtown. I take 7th, don't I?
:''[Bob cranks the wheel and cuts across several lanes toward the Seventh Street exit.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Don’t take 7th!
:''[Bob aborts the exit, swerving hard to avoid a collision.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Great, we missed it!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' You asked me how to get there, and I told you. Exit at Traction!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' That’ll take me downtown!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' It's coming up! Get in the right lane! Signal!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' ''[changing lanes]'' We don't exit at Traction!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' '''''<big>YOU'RE GONNA MISS IT!!!!</big>'''''
:''[The command vehicle takes a violent swerve across six lanes, barely making the off-ramp! Sparks spray as the vehicle slams into the guardrail. The command vehicle careens off the railing and into traffic, narrowly missing a semi. Horns blare. Bob's teeth clench as he fights to slow the vehicle down. He stomps both feet on the brakes. Its tires smoking, the command vehicle pulls sideways and loses it, tumbling down the center of the street, spraying metal pieces in its wake. It rolls into an open parking space, and lands — miraculously upright, stripped like an ear of eaten corn. A more perfect parallel park couldn't have been executed. Bob and Helen sit up woozily. Bob turns to Dash and Violet.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Is everybody okay back there?
:''[Violet and Dash pull themselves upright. They look as if they've emerged from an industrial tumble dryer]''
:'''Violet:''' Super-duper, Dad!
:'''Dash:''' ''[laughing]'' Let’s do that again.
:''[The Omnidroid comes into view through the cracked windshield. Bob releases his seat belt, turns to Helen.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Wait here and stay hidden. I’m going in.
:''[Bob grimly starts after the Omnidroid. Helen stretches an arm out and grabs his shoulder, spinning him around.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' While what? I watch helplessly from the sidelines? I don’t think so.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I’m '''''asking you''''' to wait with the kids.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' And I’m '''''telling you''''', "not a chance". You’re my husband. I’m with you for better or worse.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I have to do this alone!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' What is this to you? Playtime?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' No.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' So you can be Mr. Incredible AGAIN?!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' No!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Then what? What is it?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I’m not...
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Not what?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I’m not strong enough.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Strong enough. And this will make you stronger?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Yes. No!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' That’s what this is? Some sort of workout!?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' <big><big><big>'''''I CAN'T LOSE YOU AGAIN!'''''</big></big></big> ''[Helen is stunned. She stares at Bob, whose head is bowed like a child]'' I can’t. Not again. I’m not... strong enough.
:''[Helen searches Bob's eyes, deeply touched. She throws her arms around him, kissing him.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' If we work together, you won’t have to be.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I don’t know what’ll happen.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Hey. We’re superheroes. What can happen?
:''[Violet screams. She and Dash jump clear just as the command vehicle is crushed by the Omnidroid's metal foot. The Incredibles run. Another Omnidroid foot smashes into the street, blocking the kids' way. Bob and Helen stop, whirling]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Vi, Dash— NO!
:''[The Omnidroid is now fully focused on the kids, pounding Violet's force field relentlessly with its giant claws. The shield holds. The Omnidroid draws itself up and drops — the entirety of its massive bulk slams into the force field knocking Vi unconscious. Her force field flickers out]''
:'''Dash:''' Violet?
:''[Again, the Omnidroid draws itself up to deliver the crushing blow. Dash cringes and the bot drops — and hits an obstacle halfway down. Dash looks up]''
:'''Dash:''' Dad!
:''[Bob is underneath the bot, on his back, his arms and legs straining under the weight of it.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Go, go!
:''[Violet comes to and is instantly yanked out from under the bot and into Helen's arms.]''
:'''Violet:''' I’m okay, mom. Really.
:''[Dash follows them around the corner. Straining, Bob lifts the Omnidroid enough to get his feet underneath him. The bot snatches Bob out from underneath and flings him at a building across the street. The windows of the nearby building shatter as Bob's body tumbles across the floor, scattering desks and chairs. Helen rounds a corner out of the Omnidroid's view and carefully sets Violet down. She looks at Dash and Vi.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Stay here, okay?
:''[Helen turns away, charging back toward the robot. Vi and Dash watch their fearless mother in amazement.]''
:''[as the Omnidroid pulls itself up the building to look for Bob. Bob charges the Omnidroid, hitting it with enough force to dislodge it from the building. It falls, crashing into the street with an earth-shattering boom. Bob falls with it but rolls and lands on his feet. The familiar sound of cracking ice causes Bob to look up]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Frozone! Yeah!
:''[A narrow sheet of ice streaks across the pavement and Frozone skates past, joining the fight. Following Frozone — He moves to the Omnidroid, expertly icing its joints as it tries to get up. The Omnidroid whines as its motors strain against the ice. Further down the street, Helen rushes up to Bob]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Bob!
:''[Just then Frozone sails into frame and crashes into the roof of a parked car. Bob turns angrily toward the Omnidroid and is immediately smacked by it. Bob flies into the side of a building and tumbles to the street. Frozone and Helen distract the Omnidroid, heckling it and spreading out. It goes after them like an enraged beast. Dazed, Bob looks up and sees a strange device on the ground in front of him. He examines it, his eyes widening when he realizes what it is. He holds it up, yelling excitedly to the others]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Hey! Syndrome’s remote!
:''[The Omnidroid comes down on Bob like a ton of bricks, lifting him high above the ground. Miraculously, Bob has held on to the remote, and he quickly stabs at the buttons, hoping to get lucky. With a boom, one of the bot's limbs releases, sending it — and Bob — crashing to the ground]''
:''[Around the corner, Violet sees this. She turns to Dash]''
:'''Violet:''' The remote controls the robot!
:''[The Omnidroid knows this too, and it fires laser blasts at Bob to try to stop Bob from using the remote. Bob jumps clear, then hears Dash from down the street.]''
:'''Dash:''' Hey, Dad! Throw it, throw it!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Go long!
:''[Bob gives the remote a monster throw, flinging it high into the air and across the river. Dash pivots and takes off after it. The Omnidroid sees Dash and starts firing after him. With Dash as he hits the water, jetting across the water's surface as the Omnidroid fires away. The water explodes around Dash, but he concentrates on the remote, following it into his hands like an NFL receiver.]''
:'''Dash:''' Got it!
:''[Dash crosses the river and hits the streets on the other side, seemingly home free. But the Omnidroid is still firing, and it hits some cars in Dash's path, igniting their gas tanks. Suddenly Dash is surrounded by a wall of flames! Bob runs toward Helen, who is closer to the Omnidroid.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Honey, take out its guns!
:''[Helen hears him. She grabs a heavy manhole cover winding her elastic arm around a light pole to fling it — like an arrow — at the Omnidroid's gun. Bullseye. What follows amounts to a game of hot potato between the Supers and the Omnidroid over the remote: Frozone saves Dash from the circle of burning cars. Omnidroid sees this and goes after them. With Dash on his back, Frozone races across the river, freezing it in front of him as he goes.]''
:'''Frozone:''' Dash! Gotcha!
:''[Omnidroid jumps — almost on top of them, creating a massive wave and throwing Dash and Frozone high into the air. Thinking fast, Frozone turns the wave into a wall of snow. It crashes over the streets, cushioning their fall. The remote clatters to the ground. Bob sees it and runs for it. The Omnidroid sees Bob and fires a claw — catching Bob just as he was reaching for the remote. The claw — with Bob inside — tumbles end over end down the street. With Bob out of the way, the Omnidroid heads for the remote. Frozone ices the Omnidroid's path, causing its metal feet to slip and slide. Helen runs ahead of the Omnidroid, stretching herself into a tripwire across the stumbling Omnidroid's path. It crashes to the street. The Omnidroid looks up. The remote lies on the street just in front of it, easily within its grasp. The Omnidroid reaches out with a claw to destroy the remote. The remote magically jumps clear. The Omnidroid tries again, and again the remote darts away. Riled now, it rears up and stabs wildly at the remote with all of its arms. We hear Violet shriek, as the remote repeatedly eludes the Omnidroid's grasp: finally tangling its legs so badly that it topples over. Violet reappears, running back to rejoin the group in the middle of the street.]''
:'''Frozone''': Violet!
:'''Violet:''' Mom, I’ve got it! I’ve got the remote!
:'''Frozone:''' '''''A remote? A remote that controls what?'''''
:''[Violet begins to fiddle with the remote's click-wheel, pressing its buttons to no effect. The Omnidroid has gotten to its feet and lunges toward them. Violet shrieks and presses the button one last time. Rockets fire underneath the Omnidroid's clawed feet, lifting the enormous machine into the air.]''
:'''Frozone:''' THE ROBOT?!?'
:''[Everyone ducks as the Omnidroid rockets overhead, crashing into a building at the end of the street. Like a woozy prizefighter, the Omnidroid gets back on its feet.]''
:'''Dash:''' It's coming back!
:''[Dash snatches the remote from Violet, aims it at the Omnidroid, spins the click-wheel and presses a button. Behind Dash (and unseen by all) the claws on the Omnidroid's detached arm spring open — flinging Bob into the air.]''
:'''Dash:''' That wasn't right.
:'''Violet:''' ''[snatching remote back]'' Give me that!
:DOWN THE STREET - WITH BOB
:''[He climbs to his feet, muttering to himself.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' We can’t stop it. The only thing hard enough to penetrate it is... ''[A thought hits him. Remembering the first fight he had with the Omnidroid in the jungle, lava and volcano, he turns, staring at the metal claw]'' itself.
:'''Dash:''' It's getting closer.
:'''Violet:''' It doesn't work!
:''[Helen has the remote now and is trying to figure it out. The Omnidroid has them all in its sights and is lumbering toward them. The kids are starting to panic.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' No, this'll work! This'll work! Lucius, try to buy us some time!
:'''Frozone:''' Try the one next to it.
:''[Lucius takes off, throwing ice and skating down the street toward the approaching Omnidroid. He jumps off an ice ramp, his skates converting into a circular ski-disc in mid-air. He lands, throwing a massive ice wall in front of the Omnidroid.]''
:''[With Bob as he closes the claw into a massive arrowhead and starts charging down the street. With Helen and the kids — Helen dials the click-wheel on the remote and presses one of the buttons. The back of the claw suddenly fires a rocket engine. Bob veers crazily, trying to control it. Helen presses the button again. Now close to the group, Bob's claw rocket switches off. Bob gets an idea]''
:''[Helen presses a button. The claw blades start to spin.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Honey! ''[Frozone is putting up an ice wall to delay the Omnidroid's advancement toward them]'' Wait a minute. <big><big><big>'''''PRESS THAT BUTTON AGAIN!! NO, THE OTHER ONE!! T-THE FIRST ONE!'''''</big></big></big>
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' First button! Got it!
:''[The Omnidroid has broken through the first ice wall and pounding away at a second one. Though Frozone's giving it all he's got, the Omnidroid's starting to break through.]''
:''[Helen looks at the remote, gestures at her kids.]''
:'''Dash:''' It’s getting closer!
:'''Frozone:''' Look out!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Get outta here, kids, find a safe spot!
:'''Violet:''' We’re not going anywhere!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' <big>''''PRESS THE BUTTON!''''</big>
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Not yet!
:'''Frozone:''' ''[apprehensively, as the Omnidroid advances toward Bob]'' Helen...?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' <big><big>'''''WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?'''''</big></big>
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' A closer target! Ya got one shot!
:''[The Omnidroid shatters the ice wall Frozone put up, it's almost on top of them. Elastigirl presses the button. The claw-rocket fires. Mr. Incredible aims it directly at the Omnidroid's metal underbelly—]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' <big>'''''EVERYBODY DUCK!'''''</big>
:''[—and releases it. The giant metal claw roars overhead and drills clean through the Omnidroid's body, coming out the other side embedded in the CPU. For a long moment nothing happens. Then the gargantuan machine keels over and explodes. It's over. The family looks at each other, stunned]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Hey, Zone.
:''[Frozone starts laughing. Mr. Incredible smiles as he looks at his super family. It feels like his best memories... only better. The seemingly empty city begins to come to life, as people emerge from their hiding places, converging in the street. People begin to spontaneously cheer the heroes, welcoming the Supers' return. Syndrome comes to. Looks over the edge to the streets below to find the battle over and the masses cheering, not for him, but for the group of Supers. He darkens]''
:'''Syndrome:''' Huh? NO!
:''[Two elderly gentlemen stand together in the crowd. One nudges the other]''
:'''Frank Thomas''' Hey, did you see that? That's the way to do it. That's old school.
:'''Ollie Johnston:''' Yeah. No school like the old school.
:'''Frank Thomas:''' Yeah!
:''[They drink in the cheers as the adoring crowd gathers around them]''
:'''Frozone:''' ''[chuckles]'' Just like old times.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Just like old times. ''[slaps Frozone on the back, a little too hard]''
:'''Frozone:''' ''[shaking it off]'' Oh! Yeah. Hurt then too.

:''[A long, black limo cruises down the street. Mr. Incredible sits proudly with his family as Rick Dicker debriefs them. Everyone is enjoying the moment, save for Elastigirl, who has already clicked back into "mother mode" and is using the car phone to get messages]''
:'''Rick Dicker:''' We've frozen all of Syndrome's assets. If he even sneezes, we'll be there with a hanky and a pair of handcuffs. The people of this country are indebted to you.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Does this mean we can come out of hiding?
:'''Rick Dicker:''' Let the politicians figure that one out. But I've been asked to assure you we'll take care of everything else. You did good, Bob.

:'''Kari:''' Anyway, thanks for sending a replacement sitter.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Replacement? I didn't call for a replacement.
:''[Bob's eyes widen. He and Helen jump from the car, followed by the kids. They cross the lawn and burst through the front door to reveal — Syndrome who spins, hitting the family with his Zero-point energy ray. Cradling a sleeping Jack-Jack in his arms, he grins.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' Shh....The baby is sleeping. ''[Evil laugh]'' You took away my future. I’m simply returning the favor. Oh, don’t worry, I’ll be a good mentor. Supportive, encouraging. Everything that you weren’t. And in time, who knows, he might make a good sidekick. Ha ha!

His jet-boots compensate, but Syndrome is struggling to stay aloft. The baby's flesh reverts to normal, but the baby begins to vibrate fiercely. Syndrome can barely keep hold of him]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Something’s happening. What’s happening??

:'''Violet:''' Friday. ''[She sits down with Bob, Helen and Jack-Jack]''
:''[The starter pistol fires, and the runners take off. Dash jogs well behind the pack in a confident, easy trot. In the stands Bob, Helen, and Violet cheer Dash on.]''

:''[Dash hears them and looks toward the stands.]''
:'''Helen''': Run, Dash! Run!
:''[Dash, his eyes still on his family, accelerates a little and quickly moves toward the front of the pack. Dash, clearly confused now, furrows his brows as he again drops back. The family shouts louder]''
:'''Bob:''' Come on, run! Pick up the pace! Move it, move it! Pace it! Slow down just a little bit! Don’t give up! Make it close!
:''[Understanding, Dash accelerates just enough to scare the leader, crossing the finish line inches behind him.]''
:'''Helen:''' Second!
:'''Bob:''' Close second, close second. Yeah! That’s my boy!
:''[The family crosses the parking lot, Dash sitting atop Bob's shoulders, clutching his second-place trophy. Everyone is happy and together]''

:'''Dash:''' I didn't know what the heck you wanted me to do.
:''[The ground begins to quake. The Incredibles stop as the low rumble grows louder. On the far side of the lot, cars begin to be thrown into the air, tossed about like toys. A gargantuan drill spirals out of the ground, throwing dirt and chunks of asphalt in all directions. People run screaming as the enormous metallic vehicle crests and crashes to earth. A door opens on top and a hulking figure in dirty overalls emerges atop a rising platform, his ragged voice amplified through a loudspeaker,]''
:'''Underminer''': '''BEHOLD, THE UNDERMINER!'' I am always beneath you, but nothing is beneath ME! I hereby declare WAR ON PEACE and happiness! Soon all will tremble BEFORE ME!
:''[Camera pans off Bob as he glances at his family. They've already donned their masks, ready as they'll ever be. Camera returns to Bob, revealing that he too has put on his mask. He turns toward their new nemesis and smiles, rips his shirt open to reveal the "i" insignia on the chest of his super suit underneath, the logo of Letter I and The Incredibles; credits roll].''

:''[First lines; The movie begins with a colored backing. A magnificent, masked man in a black-and-blue superhero suit is sitting in a chair: mid-twenties, ruggedly handsome and powerfully built, he fiddles with a clip-on microphone. We're watching a faded documentary, shot in 16mm. A title fades in, identifying the man as [[w:Mr. Incredibles|Mr. Incredible]]]''
:'''Mr. Incredible''': Is this on?
:'''Interviewer''': ''[off-screen]'' That’s fine.
:'''Mr. Incredible''': ''[muttering to himself]'' I can break through walls, I just can’t…
:'''Interviewer''': ''[off-screen]'' That’s fine.
:'''Mr. Incredible''': I can’t get this on.
:'''Interviewer''': ''[off-screen]'' So, Mr. Incredible, do you have a secret identity?
:'''Mr. Incredible''': Every superhero has a secret identity. I don’t know a single one who doesn’t. Who wants the pressure of being super all the time?
:''[Resume documentary: Another striking, masked superhero, a woman this time. A title identifies her as [[w:Elastigirl|Elastigirl]]]''
:''[On-screen text: Walt Disney Pictures Presents]''
:'''Elastigirl''': Of course I have a secret identity. Can you see me in this at the supermarket? Come on. Who’d wanna go shopping as Elastigirl, y’know what I mean?
:''[Resume documentary: Another striking, superhero with a visor, a man. A title identifies him as Frozone]''
:''[On-screen text: A Pixar Animation Studios Film]''
:'''Frozone''': Super Ladies, they’re always tryna tell you their secret identity. Think it’ll strengthen the relationship or somethin' like that. I said, "Girl, I don’t wanna '''''know''''' about your mild-mannered alter ego." or anything like that. I mean, you tell me you’re a super-mega-ultra-lightnin'-babe, that’s alright with me. I’m good. I’m good.
:'''Mr. Incredible''': No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved, you know? For a little bit. I feel like the maid. I just cleaned up this mess. Can we keep it clean for ten minutes?
:'''Interviewer:''' I could get to that point.
:'''Mr. Incredible:''' Please?
:'''Interviewer:''' Wait, no, don’t get up. We’re not finished.
:'''Mr. Incredible:''' Sometimes I think I’d just like the simple life, you know? Relax a little and raise a family.
:'''Elastigirl:''' Settle down? Are you kidding? I’m at the top of my '''''game'''''! I’m right up there with the big dogs! Girls, come on. Leave the saving of the world to the '''''men'''''? I don’t think so. I don’t think so. ''[fades to black. On-screen Text: The Incredibles. Sirens wail as lights flash, we're in the middle of a classic car chase: A police car in hot pursuit of another car driven by armed bank robbers. The robber riding shotgun primes his sub-machine gun and unloads on the cop car, which swerves into oncoming traffic to avoid the hail of bullets. Bob Parr, a dashing, golden-haired man in his thirties listens to his radio. If he looks familiar, it's because he is the same man we saw earlier: Mr. Incredible, minus the mask and super-suit. Suddenly the music is interrupted by an announcement]''
:'''Police Radio:''' We interrupt for an important bulletin. A deadly high-speed pursuit between police and armed gunmen is underway, traveling northbound on San Pablo Avenue.
:''[Bob presses a button. The radio flips: converting to a screen filled with a moving aerial map of the city streets. He selects "Isolate Pursuit". Two red dots appear, moving quickly over the map. He makes a hard right turn. Looks at the screen. A tiny "i" icon (Mr. Incredible's logo) closes in on the two red dots. He checks his watch]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Yeah, I’ve got time.
:''[He presses another button: "Auto-drive" and selects "Merge Pursuit". Bob takes his hands off the wheel and a rapid series of automated actions begin: the seat back drops flat; the passenger seat folds against the window as the driver's seat slides to the center. Bob raises his arms as metal bands lock around his waist, then separate, sliding apart toward his head and his toes, removing his clothes to reveal his slick, brightly colored Mr. Incredible super-suit underneath. He presses another button: the car's exterior converts into the coolest retro-futuristic vehicle ever seen: The Incredi-Bile. Mr. Incredible looks up: Through the windshield we see an old lady waving him down]''
:'''Old Lady:''' Mr. Incredible. Um, Mr. Incredible…
:''[Mr. Incredible pulls up. His window whooshes open]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' What is it, ma’am?
:'''Old Lady:''' ''[pointing to tree]'' My cat, Squeaker, won’t come down.
:''[Mr. Incredible glances at his screen: the pursuit is headed his way. He thinks, making some quick calculations, then]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Certainly, ma’am! But I suggest you stand clear. There could be trouble.
:'''Old Lady:''' No, no. He’s quite tame.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Let go now! ''[cat yowls]''
:''[The cop car pulls back in behind the robbers' car. The cops are firing now and closing in. Mr. Incredible and the cat tree. Nervously checking the pursuit on his video screen, Mr. Incredible rips the tree out of the ground. He tips it, leaning it across to the old lady just as the car chase squeals into view at the end of the block. Mr. Incredible sees this and hastily shakes the tree, trying to dislodge Squeaker. The car chase. The cars swerve into view now, bordering the park that Mr. Incredible is in. Mr. Incredible sees them and shakes Squeaker harder. Chase cars close in. Mr. Incredible. Car chase. Squeaker. Chase. Squeaker, one final shake: Squeaker drops into the Old Lady's hands. Mr. Incredible raises the tree up and slams it down on the hood of the crooks' car, squashing it like a bug. Mr. Incredible tamps down the loose dirt at the base of the freshly replanted tree and smiles at his admirers]''
:'''Police Officer #1:''' Thank you, Mr. Incredible. You’ve done it again.
:'''Police Officer #2:''' Yeah, you’re the best.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' No, I’m just here to help.
:'''Police Radio:''' Attention all units. We have a tour bus robbery…
:''[Mr. Incredible frowns and looks at his watch. He makes a calculation, muttering to himself]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Tour bus robbery. I’ve still got time. Officers. Ma’am. Squeaker.
:''[Mr. Incredible jumps into the Incredi-Bile and is startled to find a pudgy kid wearing a mask and a homemade superhero costume sitting in the passenger seat. This is Buddy Pine aka IncrediBoy]''
:'''Buddy (IncrediBoy):''' ''[first words]'' Cool! Ready for take-off!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' What the…? Who are you supposed to be?
:'''Buddy (IncrediBoy):''' Well, I’m lncrediBoy.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' What? No. You’re that kid from the fan club. ''[stammering]'' Brophy-Br-Brody-Bu-Buddy! ''[sternly]'' Buddy.
:'''Buddy (IncrediBoy):''' My '''''name''''' is IncrediBoy.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Look, I’ve been nice, I’ve stood for photos, signed every scrap of paper you pushed at me, but this is…
:'''Buddy (IncrediBoy):''' No, you don’t have to worry about training me. I know all your moves, your crime fighting style, favorite catch phrases, everything! I’m your number one fan! ''[The passenger door whooshes open and IncrediBoy is ejected from the car. Mr. Incredible fires the afterburners and peels off, leaving Buddy standing alone]'' Hey! Hey, wait!
:''[A trail of stolen goods scattered across a rooftop leads us to a mugger. He mutters to himself as he roots through a stolen purse, disregarding some items, stuffing others into his pockets. A shadow looms on the wall behind him]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' You know. ''[the snatcher looks up. He grins]'' you can tell a lot about a woman by the contents of her purse, but maybe that’s not what you had in mind.
:'''Snatcher:''' Hey, look!
:''[Mr. Incredible closes in on him. The snatcher drops the purse and pulls a gun. Suddenly, an arm stretches and punches the snatcher's jaw. Mr. Incredible looks up and sees a dazzling masked woman in an equally dazzling suit. She smiles. If she looks familiar, it's because she is the same woman we saw earlier: Elastigirl, aka the soon-to-be Helen Parr]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Elastigirl.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Mr. lncredible.
:''[Elastigirl moves to the snatcher, begins to pick him up]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' No, it’s all right. I’ve got him.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Sure, you’ve got him. I just took him out for you.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Sure, you took him out. His attention was on me.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' A fact I exploited to do my job.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' My job, you mean.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' A simple thank you will suffice.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Thanks, but I don’t need any help.
:''[Elastigirl assesses him. Slowly moves closer]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Whatever happened to "ladies first"?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Well, whatever happened to equal treatment?
:'''Snatcher:''' ''[regaining consciousness]'' Hey, look, the lady got me first. ''[Elastigirl coldcocks the crook with one stretched punch]''

:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' ...flexible.

:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' I have a previous engagement.
:''[She makes a little stutter step to the edge of the roof and jumps, flips, loops and stretches across the rooftops like a liquid cat, disappearing into the setting sun. Mr. Incredible lets out a low whistle. That. Is a woman]''
:''[Mr. Incredible handcuffs the snatcher to a pipe]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible)''': Now, you just stay here. They usually pick up the garbage in an hour.
:'''Frozone''': Hey, Incredible!
:''[Mr. Incredible turns. A helicopter sweeps past, machine guns blazing back towards its pursuer. Frozone swoops down, hot on its tail, surfing a sheet of ice that materializes in his path]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible)''': Hey, Frozone!
:''[Frozone leaps, grabbing on to one of the chopper's skids]''
:'''Frozone''': Shouldn't you be getting ready?

:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible)''': I still got time.
:''[Off-screen, a woman screams followed by the horrified cries of several gathered people]''
:'''Woman''': ''[off-screen]'' He's gonna jump!
:''[Mr. Incredible runs to the edge of the building and looks down. A large crowd is gathered on the streets below. Mr. Incredible follows their upwards gaze to the roof of a skyscraper with a man, Oliver Sansweet, who stands poised to jump, then does. Mr. Incredible quickly gauges distances, and then dives off the edge, making a spectacular leap, and tackles him in mid-air and then breaking through an enormous window on the far side, and tumbles to the floor in a shower of glass. Safe]''
:''[Off-screen: the people outside are now clapping in applause]''
:'''Sansweet''': I think you broke something.

:''[Mr. Incredible slides Sansweet over to a desk and props him up against it]''
:''[His acute senses turn his attention to the hallway, toward the elevators. As he follows his ears, we become aware of a sound: a tiny series of regular beeps. Mr. Incredible locates a spot on the wall and presses one ear against it. The beeps accelerate. Mr. Incredible starts to push away and... BOOM! The hallway is filled with smoke and debris. A silhouette emerges from the newly blown hole in the wall; a tall, rangy man in a mime costume carries two stuffed duffel bags. This is Bomb Voyage. He surveys the scene with a wicked smile. A vault door is embedded into the wall directly opposite the hole. It moves aside, revealing Mr. Incredible behind it, dazed but unharmed. He sees the mime and growls]''

:'''IncrediBoy:''' This is because I don’t have powers, isn’t it? Well not every superhero has powers, you know. You can be super without them. [re: his rocket boots] I built these. I can fly. Can you fly?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' ''[warns IncrediBoy]'' Fly home, Buddy. I work alone.
:'''Bomb Voyage''': ''[last words]'' <big><big>'''''Et ton costume est complètement ridicule!'''''</big></big> [Translation: And your outfit is totally ridiculous!]
:'''IncrediBoy:''' Just give me one chance! ''[to Bomb Voyage]'' I’ll show you. I’ll go get the police.
:''[As Buddy jogs to the shattered window, Mr. Incredible sees that Voyage has sneakily clipped a small bomb onto Buddy's cape]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Buddy, don’t!
:'''IncrediBoy:''' It’ll only take a second, really.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' ''[takes off after him]'' NO, STOP! There’s a bomb!
:''[Mr. Incredible grabs Buddy's cape just as "IncrediBoy" takes off, taking Mr. Incredible with him. Mr. Incredible and the boy rocket wildly out of control, spraying sparks in every direction, Mr. Incredible grabbing at the cape desperately for the bomb]''
:'''IncrediBoy:''' Let go! You’re wrecking my flight pattern! I can do this if you let go!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Will you just…?? I’m trying to help! Stop!
:'''IncrediBoy:''' Let go of my cape!
:''[Mr. Incredible finally grabs hold of the bomb and flings it free. Both he and the bomb fall onto the elevated train tracks below. The bomb explodes, blowing away a large section of track. Mr. Incredible groggily looks up; A train is coming. And heading straight for the section of track that is no longer there. Mr. Incredible sets his jaw and starts running toward the oncoming train, leaping the chasm to intercept the train before it gets there. Mr. Incredible pulls up and plants himself. The expression on his face says it all: this is going to hurt. The train hits; Mr. Incredible taking the full impact. Rail ties break behind Mr. Incredible's feet, spraying in all directions as Mr. Incredible, miraculously, wrestles the train to a stop]''
:''[Finally, Police and paramedics have arrived, cordoning off the accident scene and treating the injured. At last, Mr. Incredible hands Buddy over to the police]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Take this one home. And make sure his '''''mom''''' '''''knows what he's been doing'''''.
:'''IncrediBoy:''' I can help you. You’re making a mista---hey!
:''[The cops shove Buddy into the backseat of their car]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' The injured jumper. You sent paramedics?
:'''Police Officer:''' They’ve already picked him up.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' The blast in that building was caused by Bomb Voyage who I caught in the act robbing the vault. Now, we might be able to nab him if we set up a perimeter.
:'''Police Officer #2:''' You mean he got away?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Well, yeah. '''''Skippy here''''' made sure of '''''that'''''.
:'''IncrediBoy:''' ''[last words]'' IncrediBoy!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' You’re not affiliated with me!!
:''[A tiny alarm sounds. Mr. Incredible checks his wristwatch]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Holy smokes, I’m late. Listen, I’ve gotta be somewhere.
:''[Mr. Incredible signals the Incredi-Bile with a remote. It roars into view, squeals to a stop next to him]''
:'''Police Officer:''' What about Bomb Voyage?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Any other night, I’d go after him myself, but I really gotta go. But don’t worry. We'll get him! Eventually!
:''[Mr. Incredible fires the afterburners. The cops watch in dismay as the Incredi-Bile roars off]''
:''[He enters, dressed smartly in a tux, fumbling with his tie]''
:'''Bob:''' Hey, is the night still young?
:'''Lucius:''' You’re '''''very late.'''''
:'''Bob:''' How do I look? Good?
:''[His best man named Lucius Best (aka Frozone) stops him before he...]''
:'''Lucius:''' Oh, the mask! You still got the mask.
:''[Lucius reaches up and pulls off his Mr. Incredible mask. Bob takes a deep breath and pushes open the chapel doors]''
:'''Bob:''' Showtime.
:''[Bob, the groom stands at the altar with his bride, Helen, who we quickly realize is also Elastigirl]''
:'''Minister:''' Robert Parr, will you have this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?
:'''Helen:''' You’re late. When you asked me if I was '''''doing anything later''''', I didn’t realize you’d '''''actually forgotten'''''. I thought it was playful banter.
:'''Bob:''' It '''''was''''' playful banter.
:'''Helen:''' Cutting it kinda close, don’t ya think?
:'''Bob:''' You need to be more...flexible.
:'''Helen:''' I love you, but if we’re gonna make this work, you’ve gotta be more than Mr. Incredible. You know that. Don’t you?
:'''Minister:''' ...so long as you both shall live?
:'''Bob:''' I do.
:'''Minister:''' I pronounce this couple husband and wife.
:''[They kiss, as people are cheering and whistling. Gazerbeam, Stratogale, Dynaguy, Meta-Man, Thunderhead, E and Rick Dicker can be seen for a few seconds clapping.]''
:'''Helen:''' As long as we both shall live. No matter what happens.
:'''Bob:''' Hey, come on. We’re superheroes. What could happen?

:''[The screen switches to a news flash.]''
:'''Newsreel Narrator:''' In a stunning turn of events, a superhero is being sued for saving someone who, apparently, didn’t want to be saved. The plaintiff, Oliver Sansweet, who was foiled in his attempted suicide by Mr. Incredible, has filed a suit against the famed superhero in Superior Court.
:''[Oliver Sansweet's lawyer stands next to him on the crowded front steps, and speaks to a cluster of reporters]''
:'''Sansweet’s Lawyer:''' Mr. Sansweet didn’t ask to be saved, Mr. Sansweet didn’t wanna be saved! And the injury received from Mr. Incredible’s "actions", '''''so-called''''' causes him daily pain!
:'''Mr. Incredible:''' Hey, I saved your life!
:'''Sansweet:''' You didn’t save my life, you ruined my death! That’s what you did...!
:'''Mr. Incredible:''' Listen, you little ''[interrupted by his lawyer]'' piece of....
:'''Mr. Incredible's Lawyer:''' My client has no further comment at this time.
:'''Newsreel Narrator:''' Five days later, another suit was filed by victims of the El Train accident.
:''[Shots of a courtroom filled with neck-braced, cast-wearing, train-wreck victims. A lawyer goes through his paces, often gesturing toward a glowering Mr. Incredible]''
:'''Newsreel Narrator:''' Incredible’s court losses cost the government millions, and opened the floodgates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the world over.
:''[A series of spinning newspaper headlines describing the succession of lawsuits brought against superheroes saying, "DynaGuy sued!", "'SUPER' DAMAGES!", "X-RAY VISION PEEPING TOM?" Irate Taxpayers demonstrate, waving placards that read: "NO MORE SUPER BAILOUTS!", "$UPER EXPEN$IVE!", etc. A government employee addresses her colleagues]''
:'''Government Public Speaker:''' It is time for their '''''secret identity''''' to become their '''''only identity'''''. Time for them to join us, or go away!
:'''Newsreel Narrator:''' Under tremendous public pressure, and the crushing financial burden of an ever-mounting series of lawsuits, the government quietly initiated the superhero relocation program. ''[Superheroes exiting the public stage, as they wave goodbye (ala Nixon), duck into cars in a shower of popping flashbulbs, cheered by supporters, jeered by opponents, etc.]'' The supers will be granted amnesty from responsibility for past actions, in exchange for the promise to never again resume hero work. Where are they now?
:''[A throng of people mill about the city streets in diverse anonymity]''
:'''Newsreel Narrator:''' They are living among us. Average citizens, average heroes. Quietly and anonymously continuing to make the world a better place.

:''[Drawing their guns, the cops are stopped by a bewildering sight: a recovering heap of rescued fire victims at the base of an enormous hole in the wall. Standing watch over them is the police officer, stunned and blinking under a layer of ice. Bob and Lucius jump into Lucius's car, pulling off their ski masks]''
:'''Lucius:''' That was way too close. We are not doing that again.
:'''Radio voice:''' Verify you wanna switch targets? Over.
:'''Mirage:''' Trust me. This is the one he’s been looking for.
:''[Bob enters quietly through the kitchen, pausing in the kitchen long enough to nab the remaining hunk of chocolate cake. Humming pleasantly as he chews, he moves into the living room when a voice comes out of the dark. Bob freezes. A light snaps on. A chair swivels around- it's Helen, wearing her robe and a peeved expression.]''
:'''Helen:''' ''[angrily]'' I thought you'd be back by 11.
:'''Bob:''' I said I'd be back later.
:'''Helen:''' I assumed you’d be back later. If you came back at all...you’d be "back later".
:'''Bob:''' Well, I’m back, okay?
:'''Helen:''' ''[noticing a small piece of debris on Bob’s shirt]'' Is this... rubble?
:'''Bob:''' ''[with mouth full]'' It was just a little workout. Just to stay loose.
:'''Helen:''' You know how I feel about that, Bob! Darn you! We can’t blow our cover again!
:'''Bob:''' The building was coming down anyway.
:'''Helen:''' ''[shocked]'' What?! You knocked down a building?!
:'''Bob:''' It was on fire. Structurally unsound. It was coming down anyway.
:'''Helen:''' ''[facepalms]'' Tell me you haven't been listening to the police scanner again.
:'''Bob:''' Look, I performed a public service. You act like that’s a bad thing!
:'''Helen:''' It is a bad thing, Bob! Uprooting our family '''''again''''', so you can relive the glory days is a very bad thing!
:'''Bob:''' Reliving the glory days is better than acting like they didn’t happen!
:'''Helen:''' Yes! They happened! But this, our family, is what’s happening now, Bob. And you are missing this! I can’t believe you don’t wanna go to your own son’s graduation!
:'''Bob:''' It’s not a graduation. He’s moving from the fourth grade to the fifth grade.
:'''Helen:''' It’s a ceremony!
:'''Bob:''' It’s '''''psychotic'''''! They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity but if someone is genuinely exceptional, then—
:'''Helen:''' This is not about you, Bob! This is about Dash!
:'''Bob:''' You wanna do something for Dash? Then let him actually compete! Let him go out for sports!
:'''Helen:''' I will not be made the enemy here! You know why we can’t do that!
:'''Bob:''' ''[enraged]'' BECAUSE HE'D BE GREAT!
:''[Helen angrily stretches her neck over Bob's head]''
:'''Helen:''' THIS IS NOT… '''ABOUT'''… <big>'''YOU'''!</big>
:''[Off-screen, a soft ‘woosh’ is heard in the background. Bob and Helen turn to the couch.]''
:'''Bob:''' All right, Dash. I know you’re listening. Come on out.
:'''Helen:''' Vi? You, too, young lady. ''[Violet materializes]''
:'''Bob:''' Come on. Come on out. It’s okay, kids. We’re just having a discussion.
:'''Violet:''' Pretty ''loud'' discussion.
:'''Bob:''' Yeah. But that’s okay. Because what’s important is that Mommy and I are always a team. We’re always united against, uh, the forces of, uh...
:'''Helen:''' Pigheadedness?
:'''Bob:''' I was gonna say evil or something.
:'''Helen:''' We’re sorry we woke you. Everything’s okay. Go back to bed. It’s late.
:'''Dash:''' Good night, Mom. Night, Dad.
:'''Violet:''' Good night.
:'''Helen:''' In fact, we should '''''all''''' be in bed. ''[walks over to the nearby lamp and turns it off]''

:''[Cut to the next day. Bob sits at his tiny desk. One look at his bleary face says it all: he hasn't slept all night. His intercom BEEPS. Bob glares at it a beat, then hits ANSWER.]''

:'''Huph's Secretary:''' ''[over the intercom]'' Mr. Huph would like to talk to you in his office.
:'''Bob:''' Now?
:'''Huph's Secretary:''' '''''Now...'''''
:''[Huph shows up continues to yell indistinctly over the phone. Bob eventually gets up from his cubicle and heads to Huph's Office. Mirage slowly walks over, looks around and leaves something on his desk]''
:''[Cut to the inside of Huph's office. Marginally bigger than Bob's office, with a coveted window to the outside world. Painfully clean and joyless. Every pencil sharpened, every paper perfectly stacked and aligned to run parallel to the edge of the desktop]''
:''[Huph sharpens his pencil and aligns it with the other three]''
:'''Huph:''' Sit down, Bob.
:''[He does, moving the 4th pencil. Huph re-aligns it and starts.]''
:'''Huph:''' ''[seriously]'' I’m not happy, Bob. <big>Not.... happy?!?</big> ''[He gets up.]'' Ask me why.
:'''Bob:''' Okay. Why?
:'''Huph:''' Why what? Be specific, Bob.
:'''Bob:''' Why are you unhappy?
:'''Huph:''' Your customers make me unhappy.
:'''Bob:''' What, you’ve gotten complaints?
:'''Huph:''' '''''Complaints''''' I can handle. What I can’t handle is your clients’ inexplicable knowledge of Insuricare’s inner workings!! They're experts! '''EXPERTS''', Bob! Exploiting every loophole, dodging every obstacle! They're '''''penetrating the bureaucracy!!'''''
:'''Bob:''' Did I do something illegal?
:'''Huph:''' ''[begrudgingly]'' ...no...
:'''Bob:''' Are you saying we shouldn’t help our customers?
:'''Huph:''' The law requires that I answer no.
:'''Bob:''' We’re supposed to help people!
:'''Huph:''' We're supposed to help '''''<big><u>OUR</u> PEOPLE!!</big>''''' Starting with our stockholders, Bob! Who's helping them out, huh?!
:''[He sighs and regains composure.]''
:'''Huph:''' You know, Bob...
:''[He moves a letter that says:]''
:''[Memo: Policy Notification]''
:''[To: Employee]''
:''[From: Gilbert Huph]''
:''[Due to financial cutbacks, you will be expected to self-expense all office supplies, including but not limited to pencils, erasers, pens, paper, stationery, folders, staples, paper clips, brads, and photocopies. All parking will now be metered by the hour. Electricity consumption and all telephone charges will be deducted from your paycheck.]''
:''[The Board of Directors at Insuricare wishes to thank you for your selfless sacrifice through this time of financial uncertainty. It is because of you, the employee, that Insuricare has recorded its highest profit in years. Remember, a successful company makes for successful employees. Every penny you save is another penny that goes in....'' ''[the rest is covered by Huph's finger]''
:''[Salutations, Gilbert Huph]''
:'''Huph:''' ...a company...
:'''Bob:''' Is like an enormous clock.
:'''Huph:''' ...is like an enormous clo- Yes, precisely! It only works...if all the little cogs...mesh together! Now, a clock needs to be clean, well-lubricated and wound tight. The best clocks have jewel movements, cogs that fit, that cooperate by design. ''[chuckling]'' I’m being metaphorical, Bob....You know what I mean by cooperative cogs? Bob...?...Bob...?
:''[seriously grabs Bob by the chin and angrily pulls him toward him]'' '''''LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU, PARR!'''''
:''[Outside the window, Bob sees a man is being mugged]''
:'''Bob:''' That man out there, he needs help!
:'''Huph:''' Do '''''NOT''''' change the subject, Bob! We’re discussing <big><big>'''''YOUR! ATTITUDE!'''''</big></big>
:'''Bob:''' He is getting mugged!
:'''Huph:''' Well, let’s hope we don’t cover him!
:'''Bob:''' ''[gets up out of his seat and heads for the door]'' I’ll be right back. ''[puts his hand on the doorknob]''

''[Bob reluctantly does]'' Get over here...now. ''[Bob lets go of the doorknob, now crushed out of shape, and walks over to Huph.]'' ''[seriously]'' I’m not happy, Bob. Not happy. ''[Bob watches the mugger getting away]''
:'''Bob:''' ''[seething]'' He got away.
:'''Huph:''' Good thing, too... heh! You were this close to losing your j-
:''[Bob furiously grabs Huph by the throat and throws him through 5 office walls. Huph crashes into a filing cabinet, badly injured. Everyone stares at Bob in shock]''
:'''Bob:''' Uh-oh.
:''[Cut to the hospital where Huph is seen in a full body cast in a hospital room]''
:'''PA:''' Please report to operating room 722 immediately.
:''[Rick Dicker comes out of the room where Huph is hospitalized. Bob and Rick conversate while heading to the elevator.]''
:'''Bob:''' How is he?
:'''Rick:''' He’ll live.
:'''Bob:''' I’m fired, aren’t I?
:'''Rick:''' Oh, you think?
:'''Bob:''' What can I say, Rick?
:'''Rick:''' Nothin' you haven’t said before.
:'''Bob:''' Someone was in trouble.
:'''Rick:''' Someone’s always in trouble.
:'''Bob:''' I had to do something.
:'''Rick:''' Yeah. Every time you say those words, it means a month and a half of trouble for me, Bob. It means hundreds of thousands of taxpayer’s dollars.
:''[Rick reaches and presses the down elevator button.]''
:'''Bob:''' I know.
:'''Rick:''' We gotta pay to keep the company quiet. We gotta pay damages, erase memories, relocate your family. Every time it gets harder. Money, money, money, money, money. W-We can’t keep doin' this, Bob! ''[he enters the elevator]'' We appreciate what you did in the old days, but those days are over. From now on, you're on your own.
:''[Bob stares at the floor, beaten. Rick looks at him with pity. Then as the elevator doors close, Rick stops it with his left arm]''
:'''Rick:''' Uh, listen, Bob.
:'''Rick:''' Maybe I could relocate you. You know, for old times’ sake.
:'''Bob:''' No. I can’t do that to my family. Everyone just got settled. I’ll make it work. Thanks.
:''[Rick stares at Bob a long moment. A bittersweet smile—]''
:'''Rick:''' Take care of yourself.

:''[Bob climbs out of his car and is surprised to find Rusty on the Big Wheel, waiting in exactly the same spot as the day before]''
:'''Bob:''' Well, what are you waiting for?
:'''Rusty:''' I don’t know...something amazing, I guess....
:''[A rueful smile blooms and dies on Bob's face]''
:'''Bob:''' Me too, kid.
:''[Cut to a cramped, windowless museum of Mr. Incredible arcana. Walls and shelves cluttered with mementos of his storied past: framed photos, newspaper front pages, magazines, and, displayed on the wall under Plexiglas, his Mr. Incredible suit. Bob enters and closes the door. He opens his briefcase, pulls out an Insuricare employee manual. He growls and rips it in half, tossing it in the trashcan. On a roll now, he begins to dump the entire contents of his briefcase into the trash when—CLUNK! Bob double-takes— startled by the heavy sound. He peers over the edge of the desk, into the trash, and sees— a large manila envelope. He picks it up, and is surprised it's heavy. He opens it and pulls out a flat panel about a half-inch thick. On it is printed "This End Up". He turns the panel as instructed. In the center is a small circle with writing beneath it. Bob squints, unable to read the tiny letters. He brings it closer—his point of view: As the letters... slowly... come... into... focus]''
:'''Bob''': Huh? Hold still?
:''[Suddenly, the panel projects a blue grid over Bob's face, we hear a robotic male voice]''
:'''Tablet''': Match: Mr. Incredible.
:''[Bob drops the panel in surprise. It clatters to the floor, still functioning. A small foot-long rod with the metal ball at the top pops out from the panel, the ball at the tip makes a quick, single revolution, scanning the surrounding room with a vertical beam]''
:'''Tablet''': Room is Secure. Commence Message.
:''[The panel flickers. It's a video screen. An image appears, the beautiful platinum blonde woman who visited earlier that day is seen]''
:'''Mirage:''' Hello, Mr. Incredible. Yes, we know who you are. Rest assured, your secret is safe with us. My name is Mirage. We have somethin' in common. According to the government, neither of us exist. Please pay attention, as this message is classified and will not be repeated.
:''[Bob quickly gets to his pencil case and tries a pencil; one is not working and then he grabs one that works. He starts taking notes on Mirage's message.]''
:'''Mirage:''' I represent a top-secret division of the government, designing and testing experimental technology, and we have need of your unique abilities. Something has happened at our testing facility. A highly experimental attack robot...
:'''Helen:''' ''[interrupting]'' Honey!
:'''Bob:''' Huh? What?
:'''Helen:''' Dinner’s ready!
:'''Bob:''' Okay!
:'''Mirage:''' ...has escaped control. Although it is contained within an isolated area, it threatens to cause incalculable damage to itself and to our facilities, jeopardizing hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of equipment in research...
:'''Helen:''' ''[interrupting]'' Is someone in there?
:'''Bob:''' It’s the TV, trying to watch!
:'''Mirage:''' Because of its highly sensitive nature, this mission does not, nor will it ever, exist.
:'''Helen:''' Well, stop trying. It’s time for dinner!
:'''Bob:''' One minute!
:'''Mirage:''' If you accept, your payment will be triple your current annual salary. ''[Bob's jaw goes slack. He scribbles "BIG$"]'' Call the number on the card. Voice-matching will be used to ensure security. The supers aren’t gone, Mr. Incredible. You’re still here...You can still do great things! Or...you can listen to police scanners. Your choice. You have 24 hours to respond. Think about it.
:''[The device shuts off. Bob realizes what Mirage said....and he looks at his past, knowing that this one chance could bring his glory days back...he then looks at his old suit, with a smile.]''
:''[Beeping, as Mirage's phone number is printed on a holographic card.]''
:'''Tablet:''' This...message...will...self-destruct.
:'''Bob:''' Uh-oh.
:''[He stumbles out of the office in a cloud of smoke. The smoke rises and triggers the fire alarm and sprinkler system. Violet shuts off panel, while Dash expresses joy.]''
:''[Helen is moving the chairs from the table; the front door is open to air out the house. Books of all kinds are on the counter as Bob uses a hair dryer to dry the pages]''
:'''Helen:''' You...are one distracted guy.
:'''Bob:''' Hmm? Am I? I don’t mean to be.
:'''Helen:''' I know you miss being a hero and your job is frustrating. I just want you to know how much it means to me that you stay at it anyway.
:'''Bob:''' Honey? About the job?
:'''Helen:''' What?
:'''Bob:''' Something’s happened.
:'''Helen:''' ''[concerned]'' '''What?'''
:'''Bob:''' The, uh...
:'''Helen:''' '''''What...'''''
:'''Bob:''' The company is sending me to, uh, a conference.
:'''Helen:''' A conference?
:'''Bob:''' ''[stammering]'' Out of town. And I’m just gonna be gone for a few days.
:'''Helen:''' They’ve never sent you to a conference before.... This is good, isn’t it?
:'''Bob:''' ''[hesitating]'' Yes.
:'''Helen:''' You see? They’re finally recognizing your talents.... you’re moving up!
:'''Bob:''' Yes.
:'''Helen:''' Honey! Awww...This is wonderful!
:'''Bob:''' Yes, it is.
:''[calls the number on the card. Mirage's number is shown: 866-787-7476]''
:'''Mirage:''' ''[over phone]'' Hello?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' This is Mr. Incredible....I’m in.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[A sleek-looking Manta Jet slices the sky. Bob, clad in his old (and now too-tight) Mr. Incredible suit is on board along with Mirage. She is briefing Bob on his mission.]''
:'''Mirage:''' The Omnidroid 9000 is a top-secret prototype battle robot. Its artificial intelligence enables it to solve any problem it’s confronted with. And unfortunately...
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Let me guess. It got smart enough to wonder why it had to take orders.
:'''Mirage:''' We lost control. And now it’s loose in the jungle, threatening our facility. We’ve had to evacuate all personnel from the island for their own safety.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' How am I going in?
:'''Mirage:''' The Omnidroid’s defenses necessitate an airdrop from 5,000 feet. Its cloaking devices make it difficult to track. Although we’re pretty sure it’s on the southern half of the island. One more thing. Obviously, it represents a significant investment.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' You want me to shut it down without completely destroying it.
:'''Mirage:''' You '''''are''''' Mr. Incredible.
:''[Bob is on an advanced seat, he puts his belt on, and the seat shifts into a bed, as it is about to enter a shuttle. However, being out of shape is causing a problem to get him into the shuttle. The soldier then increases the seat power and it successfully gets Mr. Incredible in the shuttle.]''
:'''Mirage:''' I’ve got to warn you, it’s a learning robot. Every moment you spend fighting it only increases its knowledge of how to beat you.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Shut it down. Do it quickly. Don’t destroy it.
:'''Mirage:''' And '''''don’t die.'''''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Great. Thanks.
:''[The shuttle ejects. It rockets down the island. After stopping, it propels with two blades. After a while, it lands. Mr. Incredible tries to get out, but his belly won't let him out. He goes back in and punches the shuttle in half. He flexes and gets ready.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Showtime.
:''[He explores the jungle, prepares to find the Omnidroid.]''
:''[He sees a blade mark on a tree and a cross on the grass. Suddenly, the Omnidroid surprises him from behind, as it tries to impale him unsuccessfully. It slashes a 3rd time, only against a mark on Mr. Incredible's arm. Mr. Incredible leaps over the robot and throws a punch that sends it flying to a tree.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' ''[gruntingly]'' Yeah!
:''[The Omnidroid gets up, and the real fight begins.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Uh-oh.
:''[The Omnidroid charges at him, as he leaps over. The robot unfortunately calculated his leaping arc, and that allowed it to swat him mid-air, slamming Mr. Incredible into another tree that toppled onto the Omnidroid. But the robot rolled out of its way, and reformed. The robot curled up again to crush him, only for Mr. Incredible to dodge it, as it knocks down some trees before charging at him quickly. Mr. Incredible sprints his way off, but he almost gets crushed by the robot as he jumps over a cliff, slides on it, and lands. The Omnidroid arrives at a similar pace, as it receives a boulder from our hero. The Omnidroid does the same 3 times, the latter hitting Mr. Incredible. It almost impales him unsuccessfully. Its claw is lodged in the cliff, as the hero runs for safety. The Omnidroid pulls its limb out of the cliff and leaps high into the air, intent on crushing Mr. Incredible, who leapt out of the way and landed in the lava fields. The Omnidroid lands and makes an attempt to push Mr. Incredible into the lava as he tried to push back. After a few seconds however, he lets out a scream while using his maximum strength and jerk-pulls the robot aside into the lava.]''
:''[Bob laughs in what he thought was his victory, but after trying to spin, his spine cracks.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' AH! Ow, ow, ow! OH, MY BACK!
:''[The Omnidroid suddenly bursts out of the lava through a piece of the stone platform, making it crack. It proceeds to spin its claws, as Mr. Incredible leaps on a chunk of rock. But then the Omnidroid grabs him by his feet with one of its claws and slams him to the ground before grabbing his arms with another. It begins to pull him apart.... until it stops when it accidentally fixes his back.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Oh....Hahaha!
:''[He then jack-knifes, ripping the claw off one of its arms. He runs under the robot, as it uses its lower sensor cluster. Just as it spots its target, he rips it off, and climbs inside the robot, as it unintentionally starts damaging itself. After a while, it stops, weakened. Mr. Incredible punches off its upper sensor cluster, as it whistles while <nowiki>''</nowiki>riding<nowiki>''</nowiki> the robot. The robot tries to pull him out, but it accidentally tears out its CPU. Mr. Incredible jumps out of the robot and casually walks away, as the Omnidroid motionlessly falls down.]''
:''[A mecha-macaw observed everything, as it zooms to the screen.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' ''[first words; silhouetted, to Mirage]'' Surprising. We must bring him back. Sound the all-clear, and…invite him to dinner.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Mr. Incredible is in a pod, inside the volcano's magma flows. He waits for Mirage in a huge dining room, while peeking to see who the mysterious man was.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' ''[silhouetted]'' Most important, keep things light. Praise him. Make him feel like we appreciate his abilities.
:''[He hides back and pretends to have waited long enough.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Am I overdressed?
:'''Mirage:''' Actually, you look rather dashing.
:''[They head to the dining table and sit.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I take it our host is...
:'''Mirage:''' Oh, I’m sorry. He won’t be dining with us. He hopes you’ll understand.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Of course. I do usually make it a point to know who I’m working for.
:'''Mirage:''' He prefers a certain amount of anonymity. Surely, you of all people understand that.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I was just wondering, of all the places to settle down, why live...
:'''Mirage''': In a volcano? He’s attracted to power. So am I. It’s a weakness we share.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Seems a bit unstable.
:'''Mirage:''' I prefer to think of it as misunderstood.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible)''' ''[chuckling]:'' Aren’t we all?
:'''Mirage:''' Volcanic soil is among the most fertile on Earth. Everything at the table was grown right here. How does it compare?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Everything’s delicious.
:''[Bob raises his glass. Mirage smiles and does likewise]''
:''[MONTAGE: INCREDIBLE AGAIN — His self-esteem back, Bob returns home with renewed vigor. He bonds with his kids, gets frisky with Helen, and takes pride in his new appearance. He buys a new snazzy sports car for himself, and a new car for Helen. After he says goodbye to Helen several mornings, clearly pretending to go off to the job he no longer holds at Insuricare, we see how he's actually spending his days; dropping weight and getting in shape. The Superheroic workouts do their job; Bob is in the best shape he's been in many years.]''

:''[Bob, now dressed in a more expensive and tailored version of his Insuricare suit, pauses to examine the torn spot on his Mr. Incredible supersuit]''
:'''Bob:''' Ah, jeez.

:'''Helen:''' All that jazz.
:''[Bob drives away. He pulls up to an imposing gate, a futuristic web of parallel laser beams. He turns toward a video screen and presses a button beneath it. The video screen lights up, revealing a burly guard]''
:'''Guard:''' You have an appointment?
:'''Bob:''' I’m an old friend. I just wanted to...
:'''Guard:''' All visitors are required to make a reser—
:''[The guard suddenly flinches from something below camera, and is shooed offscreen by a strident, husky female voice. A pair of huge glasses fronting the top half of a head rises into the bottom half of the screen, out of focus. This is Edna Mode, known by her friends simply as "E."]''
:'''Edna Mode:''' ''[shoos the guard away]'' Get back to work! Go check the electric fence or something! What is it? Who are you? What do you want?
:''[Bob lowers his sunglasses]''
:'''Edna Mode:''' Yes, you’ve gotten fat. Come in, Come, come!
:''[The gate opens, and Bob drives up the long driveway that winds up the hill to E's tastefully arty palace.]''
:''[E leads Bob through the tasteful, minimalistic entranceway into her massive living room. E is in her early sixties, half German, half Japanese, and like both of those small countries, not to be underestimated.]''
:'''Edna Mode:''' Yes, things are going quite well. Quite well. My God, no complaints. But, you know, it is not the same. Not the same at all.
:'''Bob:''' Weren’t you just in the news? Some show in Prayge...Prague?
:'''Edna Mode:''' Milan, darling. Milan. Supermodels. Ha! Nothing super about them. Spoiled, stupid, little stick figures with poofy lips who think only about themselves. Feh! I used to design for gods.... but perhaps you come with a challenge, eh? I was surprised to get your call.

:'''Bob:''' Musta happened a long time ago.

:'''Bob:''' ''[takes it out of the garbage]'' What do you mean? You designed it.
:'''Edna Mode:''' I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now. You need a new suit. That much is certain.
:'''Bob:''' A new suit? Where the heck am I gonna get a new suit?
:'''Edna Mode:''' '''''You can't!''''' It’s impossible! I’m far too busy. So ask me now, before I again become sane....
:'''Bob:''' Wait....you want... to make me... a suit?
:'''Edna Mode:''' You push too hard, darling! But I accept. It will be bold. Dramatic!
:'''Bob:''' Yeah.

Helen plucks it off, examining it. The phone rings. She goes to answer it, hesitating when she hears—]''

:'''Bob:''' I’ll leave tomorrow morning.

:'''Helen:''' Who was that, honey? The, uh, office?
:'''Bob:''' Another conference. Short notice, but you know...duty calls. ''[nervous laugh. Bob squeezes past her and exits. Helen stares into his den, feeling suspicious and impotent.]''
:''[cut to the garage where Bob is seated in his new sports car, its engine purring. He belts himself in. Helen enters, still in her robe.]''
:'''Helen:''' Bob?
:'''Bob:''' Yeah, what’s up, honey?
:'''Helen:''' ''[A storm of conflicting emotions play across her face. But she puts on a happy face and leans down through his open window.]'' Ha....have a great trip.
:'''Bob:''' Thanks, sweetie. I’ll call you when I get there.
:'''Helen:''' I love you... so much.
:''[Something in her voice makes Bob hesitate. He looks back at her, curious]''
:'''Bob:''' I love you too.
:''[He gives her a kiss, then backs out of the driveway, and, with a wave, drives off.]''
:''[Bob is now on Syndrome's Manta Jet. Leaner and meaner in his new supersuit, he dips a fresh shrimp into some cocktail sauce and gazes around the luxurious cabin. He's happy as a clam.]''
:'''Manta Jet Autopilot:''' This is your automated Captain speaking. Would you care for more mimosa?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Don’t mind if I do. Thanks.

:'''Manta Jet Autopilot:''' You’re welcome. Currently 78 degrees in Nomanisan. Perfect weather for flying. Please fasten your seatbelt. We’re beginning our descent.
:''[As the jet begins its descent toward the island, we begin to see its spectacular aspects: active volcano, towering snowcapped peak, tumbling waterfalls, futuristic monorail, etc.... a paradise on earth. Suddenly the engines cut off and the jet plunges, nose down, into the sea, converting into a submersible.]''
:''[The jet sub cruises through a fantastic seascape of exotic otherworldly rock formations, toward the base of the island through vast curtains of bubbles created from a field of cooling lava. A massive door opens, revealing a huge underwater docking bay. The ship enters, the entrance closing behind them. The water drains. The jet sub settles to a landing. A giant docking tube extends from a side wall and connects to the side of the jet sub. Bob turns as a door opens, revealing a small side chamber and a pair of shapely legs. Mirage leans into view.]''
:'''Mirage:''' Hello, Mr. Incredible. Nice suit.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Thanks. Nice to be back, Mirage.
:''[Bob enters the monopod. The doors shut and it takes off. The monopod zooms along a track which rises from a tunnel beneath the lagoon and sweeps through the jungle. Although this is his second time here, Bob is seeing the island with new eyes. It is a WONDER. The monopod track disappears straight into a rushing waterfall. Suddenly the waterfall parts, the water separating like an enormously long chiffon curtain, revealing the intricately designed architecture hidden underneath. Continuing as it enters a vertical tube and zooms upward into the dark. Elevator doors slide open crisply. Bob enters and takes in the room. It is small, open and tasteful, with a balcony overlooking a breathtaking view of the jungle and the ocean beyond.]''

:''[Bob enters the conference room. No one is there. He checks the wall clock: two o'clock. He decides to enter and takes a seat at the table. There are some strange, low sounds. Then the far wall slides open, revealing the outdoors and — a bigger, badder Omnidroid.]''
:''[Bob turns to run, but the Omnidroid is fast. It grabs him and flings him into the outside air. Bob sails to the edge of the jungle, landing with a thud. Before he can react, the robot has him again and slams him into the ground. A voice comes over a loudspeaker.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' '''''It’s bigger! It’s badder!'''''
:''[The robot seizes Bob in one giant claw, turning two others into whirling blades. They close in on Bob's neck — when Syndrome descends from the sky on jet-boots, landing on top of the enormous robot]''

''[He shuts down the blades of the Omnidroid.]'' You know, I went through quite a few supers to get it worthy to fight you, but man, it wasn’t good enough!!

:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Fly home, Buddy. I work alone. ''[Buddy, still in his IncrediBoy costume, but without the mask, glowers up at his poster to Mr. Incredible and tears it off the wall]''

:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I was wrong to treat you that way. I’m sorry!
:'''Syndrome:''' See? Now you respect me, because I’m a ''threat''. That’s the way it works. Turns out there’s a lot of people, whole countries who want respect.

Your nemesis and- ''[He makes a grandiose gesture with his arms, inadvertently flinging Mr. Incredible into the jungle.]'' Oh, brilliant. ''[Bob lands somewhere on a lake. Syndrome spots him and flies towards him. Bob jumps down while Syndrome watches him falling into the bade of a waterfall. He taps a button in his wrist cuff, which activates a tiny bomb.]'' All right, try this one on for size, big boy. ''[He drops it to the base of the waterfall. Bob spots the bomb as he tries to swim away from it, although he is soon caught in the blast. He emerges out of the water, gasping, in a cave system. He turns his head, and leaps back, realizing he is face to face with a skeleton. Slowly, he moves back towards the skeleton, noticing that it has an eye visor and a cape. He rubs some dirt from the emblem over the eyes: the emblem reads "GB".]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Gazerbeam? ''[The skeleton is still sitting up, and Bob is compelled to follow its gaze to the adjacent cave wall. There — presumably in his dying moments, Gazerbeam had burned a word into the rock: "KRONOS".]'' Kronos? ''[He suddenly hears a probe entering the cave. He hides behind Gazerbeam's skeleton. The probe scans the room, does a quick scan of Gazerbeam's skeleton and leaves. The view cuts to the probe returning to Syndrome's wrist cuff.]''

:''[The gun retreats into the ceiling. The wall in front of them opens dramatically, revealing Edna's testing lab. A large, ultra-sophisticated work area, dedicated to the design, fabrication, and testing of superhero suits. E crosses to a large, raised platform mounted to a track running parallel to a glassed-in chamber, and sits in one of the two chairs facing it. Between the chairs is a small table with a fresh pot of coffee and assorted cookies. E motions Helen to join her]''
:'''Edna Mode:''' Come. Sit. Cream and sugar?
:''[Hands Helen the cup of coffee]''
:'''Helen:''' Thanks.
:'''Edna Mode:''' I started with the baby.
:'''Helen:''' '''''Started?'''''
:'''Edna Mode:''' Shh! Darling! Shh! ''[Inside the chamber, a panel opens. A small, featureless baby mannequin in a tiny red suit (sporting the same "i" insignia as Bob's) mounted to a post emerges, tracking slowly from one end of the chamber to the other.]'' I cut it a little roomy for the free movement. The fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin ''[Helen jumps back as E continues talking. Flamethrowers throw fire at the suit without leaving burn marks]'' and can also withstand a temperature of over 1000 degrees. Completely bulletproof. ''[machine guns train on the suit and empty rounds into it without causing any damage]'' And machine washable, darling. That’s a new feature.
:'''Helen:''' What '''''on Earth''''' do you think the baby will be doing??
:'''Edna Mode:''' Well, I’m sure I '''''don’t know''''', darling. Luck favors the prepared. I didn’t know the baby’s powers, so I covered the basics.
:'''Helen:''' Jack-Jack doesn’t have any powers.
:'''Edna Mode:''' No? Well, he’ll look fabulous anyway.
:''[As the baby suit exits one end, the panel reopens on the other side. Another mannequin Dash's size swings into the smoky chamber; its arms and legs slowly churning in a "running" motion which gradually accelerates into a blur.]''
:'''Edna Mode:''' Your boy’s suit I designed to withstand enormous friction without heating up or wearing out. A useful feature. ''[The Dash suit departs into the wall as a new suit enters. It's Violet's.]'' Your daughter’s suit was tricky. But I finally created a sturdy material that will disappear completely as she does. ''[it briefly disappears and then reappears. Helen's suit moves into view. Robot arms enter from above and below, clamp to the sleeves of the arms and pants, and begin to pull them while twisting them]'' Your suit can stretch as far as you can, without injuring yourself, ''[the suit gets stretched]'' and still retain its shape. Virtually indestructible... ''[two missiles fire at the suit, but the suit sustains no damage]'' yet it breathes like Egyptian cotton. As an extra feature, each suit contains a homing device, giving you the precise global location of the wearer at the touch of a button. ''[hands Helen one, showing the tracking location of one of the suits, specifically Bob's]'' Well, darling? What do you think?
:'''Helen:''' What do I think? '''''Bob''''' is retired! '''''I’m''''' retired! Our family is underground. You helped my husband resume secret hero work behind my back?!
:'''Edna Mode:''' Well, I assumed you '''''knew''''', darling. Why would he keep secrets from '''''you'''''?
:'''Helen:''' He wouldn’t. Didn’t. Doesn’t.

:''[Back in Nomanisan, Bob is hiding in brush at the top of a cliff. Along the waterline far below, a monopod streaks toward him along a track which curves around the coastline. Bob crouches... and dives — we fall with him, whistling through the air until we hit a palm tree. The palm bends, slowing Bob's drop before he expertly releases it and drops into another palm directly below it. Bob leaps onto the roof of the pod, quickly dispatching the guards inside, tossing them into the ocean. Bob seats himself at the controls, as the pod races toward Syndrome's base and a security checkpoint. Two guards look up as they hear the monopod approach. A sparking wheel carriage arrives at the gate, its cab completely torn off and missing. Suddenly alert, the guards cock their guns and aim into the dark. We hear a distant grunt. A moment later the cab falls from the sky, crashing on top of the guards. Bob runs through the wrecked gate, toward the base. Bob pulls up behind some trees. There are several guards; two at the vehicle entrance, another at the balcony above. Bob thinks a bit, looks down and finds a coconut. With expert precision, he throws it at the balcony guard, beaning him. He falls off the balcony and hits the ground.]''

A medical transport comes out of the open bay, and as the door moves closed behind it, we see Bob drop into the garage. Elevator. Bob emerges in the dining hall and stares at the lava fall. He knows there is a secret passage behind it. He picks up a large stone sculpture in the shape of a Moai head and readies to run into the lava fall. One... two... thr— Bob is startled by a flash of light behind the fall; the passage is opening. He loses his balance, struggling to set the massive sculpture back into place before Mirage enters. Bob rushes into the closing passage. Jumps clear just as passage closes. A series of parallel floor lights click on. Bob follows them to an elaborate chair in the center of the room, lit from above. Bob sits down in the chair. A giant. curved screen lights up in front of him, with a blinking cursor in its center. Bob types in "KRONOS". The computer screen refreshes: Bob is in.]''

:'''Violet and Dash:''' Yes, mom, I’m completely stupid...of course we got a sitter! Do you think I’m totally irresponsible? Thanks a lot! / No, we got someone, Mom. Someone great. We wouldn’t do that.

:''[cut to Casa de Parr, where Kari is on the phone and Jack-Jack is in his hi-chair]''
:'''Kari:''' You don’t have to worry about one single thing, Mrs. Parr. I’ve got this baby-sitting thing wired. I’ve taken courses and learned CPR and I got excellent marks and certificates...
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Kari.
:'''Kari:''' I also brought Mozart to play while he sleeps to make him smarter because leading experts say Mozart makes babies smarter.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' '''''Kari...'''''
:'''Kari:''' And the beauty part is that the babies don’t even have to listen ‘cause they’re asleep! You know, I wish my parents played Mozart when I slept because half the time, I don’t even know what the heck anyone’s talking about.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Kari, I really don’t feel comfortable with this. I’ll pay you for your trouble, but I’d really rather call a service.

:'''Syndrome:''' I knew you couldn’t do it, even when you have nothing to lose. You’re ''weak!''
:''[He and Mirage sullenly head out.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' And I’ve outgrown you.
:''[As Mirage looks to Bob one more time with a worried expression, she leaves with Syndrome as Bob starts crying, thinking that he lost his family.]''

:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' If it means land, yes.

:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' I KNOW WHAT I SAID! ''[calms down and sighs]'' Remember the bad guys on those shows you used to watch on Saturday mornings? Well, these guys are not like those guys. They won’t exercise restraint because you’re children. They will kill you if they get the chance. Do not give them that chance.

:'''Violet:''' There’s something I...
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' I’m counting on you. Be strong. Dash, if anything goes wrong, I want you to run as fast as you can.

:'''Violet:''' Mom! Mom, what happened on the plane. I’m sorry. ''[stammering]'' I wanted to help. I mean, when you asked me to... I’m sorry.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Shh. It isn’t your fault. It wasn’t fair for me to suddenly ask so much of you. But things are different now. And doubt is a luxury we can’t afford anymore, sweetie.

She watches as the guards exit through a sliding door. She drops like a liquid cat to the floor and begins to move down the corridor. As Helen passes a metal door, she catches sight of her reflection in its shiny surface. She stops, and frowns. It's been a while since her last supersuit; her butt is a bit bigger than she remembered. She wonders if she should lose a few — when the whoosh of a door surprises her. A guard comes through the door at the far end of the hall. As he enters another junction, we see that Helen has contorted herself, arching perfectly around the door frame. The guard doesn't see her. He slides a card key through a reader to enter a restricted corridor. The doors whoosh open. Directly behind him, Helen silently re-forms and begins to back through the doorway when the doors behind her slide shut — trapping her leg. She winces, tries in vain to pull it free. It's stuck.

He sees another vine, grabs it and is propelled upwards. Dash explodes out of the canopy, flailing, out of control. He looks down and sees — the treetops suddenly drop away. Dash is falling off a cliff, screaming his ten-year-old lungs out as he lands on a Velocipod! Fleetingly astonished by his good luck, Dash looks up as the startled guard whirls around to face him. The guard swings. Dash ducks and reluctantly throws a punch at the guard's face. It lands! Thrilled that his raw speed renders the guard powerless to dodge or return his punches, Dash laughs and, growing more confident with each punch, socks the guard again and again, blissfully unaware that no one is driving. Dash looks up. His jaw drops: a rock wall looms ahead! Dash points at it. The guard sees an opening and socks Dash in the face, knocking him off just as — the Velocipod slams into the cliff face, vaporizing in a fireball, killing the guard]''

With Dash as he bolts again, accelerating to breakneck speed. He smashes through an endless succession of foliage — nearly colliding with tree trunks and rocks and suddenly — a lagoon lies in front of him. Dash reacts: the V-pods are on his tail, he has nowhere to go, so he takes a deep breath and steps on it — and has enough velocity to run across the water! Amazed and exhilarated, Dash blasts across the water's surface, weaving like a speedboat around the large volcanic rocks jutting out of the water. Velocipods open fire... strafing the water as Dash is pursued into a cave. Velocipod #2 pulls up short at the cave entrance and chooses to go around.]''

:'''Guard:''' I know you’re there, Little Miss Disappear. You can’t hide from me.

:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Oh, you’re all right!
:'''Violet:''' We were so worried about you!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I thought I’d never see you again.
:''[There is a frantic, joyful exchange of hugs and kisses, unfortunately cut short when — Velocipods explode out of the foliage! The Incredibles instantly jump to their feet: Helen throws a stretched scissor kick which catches a guard in the chest, knocking him out of his V-pod. Bob chops a second passing Velocipod — it plows straight into the soft jungle floor. Before its pilot can react — Helen's arm is coiled around him. She yanks him from the vehicle, whiplashing him into another guard, knocking them both out cold. Bob grabs the crashed V-pod and Frisbees it into a V-pod from the trees - boom! And it's over. Bob and Helen had forgotten how good they were. They exchange lustful glances.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible) & Helen (Elastigirl):''' Aww, I love you.
:'''Dash:''' Wow.
:'''Violet:''' Whoa.
:''[Suddenly the jungle is filled with guards and V-pods. And just as quickly the Incredibles turn as one against them, a hurricane blur of superpowers, suddenly brought to a crashing halt — as ZPE rays strike the Incredibles, suspending them all, motionless, in mid-air, in a clearing.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' <big><big><big>'''''WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! HEY, TIME OUT!'''''</big></big></big> ''[Syndrome keeps his wrists crossed; one beam trained on Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl; the other on Dash and Violet.]'' What have we here? Matching uniforms? ''[glances between the four faces. His eyes narrow as he zeroes in on Helen. An astonished smile splits his face.]'' Oh, no... Elastigirl!? ''[laughing, turns to Bob]'' You married Elastigirl? Whoa... and got... ''[he stops, sees the kids]'' And got '''biz-zay'''! It's a whole family of Supers! Looks like I've hit the jackpot! Oh, this is just too good!

:''[Back in Syndrome's lair, on a giant screen, network news footage of a crowd gathered around a smoldering hulk resting at the base of a large building. The TV channel changes. Another reporter is covering the same story. Camera widens: Syndrome is delightedly channel surfing with a remote control of his own invention.]''
:'''News reporter on TV:''' The ship’s unique design suggests...
:'''News reporter on TV:''' There were no fatalities...
:''[The Incredibles are now side by side in the containment unit]''
:'''Syndrome:''' Huh? Huh!? Oh, come on! You gotta admit, this is cool! Just like a movie! The robot will emerge dramatically, do some damage. Throngs of screaming people! And just when all hope is lost, Syndrome will save the day! I’ll be a bigger hero than you ever were!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' You mean, you killed off real heroes so that you could....<big><big>'''''PRETEND TO BE ONE?'''''</big></big>
:'''Syndrome:''' Oh, I’m real. Real enough to defeat you! And I did it without your precious gifts, your oh-so-special powers. I’ll give them heroics. I’ll give them the most spectacular heroics anyone’s ever seen! And when I’m old and I’ve had my fun, I’ll sell my inventions so that everyone can be superheroes. Everyone can be super! And when everyone’s super... no one will be. ''[evil laughter, leaves room]''
:''[Back in Municiberg, the military are fighting a losing battle with the Omnidroid. Soldiers shouting]''
:'''Soldier:''' Fire at will!
:''[The Omnidroid starts destroying the military troops with ease.]''
:'''Reporter:''' It’s completely overwhelming the tanks.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I’m sorry. This is my fault. I’ve been a lousy father. Blind to what I have. So obsessed with being undervalued that I undervalued all of you.
:'''Dash:''' Um...dad?
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Shh. Don’t interrupt.
:''[Violet uses her force field to nullify the zero-point energy's effects and float out of the suspension system. She walks towards the keyboard.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' So caught up in the past that I.....You are my greatest adventure. And I almost missed it. I swear, I’m gonna get us out of this safely if I...
:'''Violet:''' Well, I think Dad has made some excellent progress today, but I think it’s time we wind down now.
:''[She hits the control panel, releasing the family]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' We need to get back to the mainland.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' I saw an aircraft hangar on my way in. Straight ahead, I think.
:''[Bob's hands pry open the heavy metal doors, crunching them like foil. The Incredibles enter the huge hangar]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Where are all the guards?
:''[The guards are all holed up in a command vehicle, watching the Omnidroid reports on TV.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' ''[signaling the others to move inside the command vehicle]'' Go, go!
:''[The guards watch live coverage of the Omnidroid attack on a video monitor. Champagne is popped: the cork is unexpectedly caught by someone standing in the doorway — Mr. Incredible]''
:'''Guard:''' Hey, look. Hey! Every time they run, you take a shot.
:'''Guard 2:''' Yeah, okay.
:''[The vehicle rocks as Bob quickly takes out the guards within. In moments Bob emerges, whistles to his family that the coast is clear.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' This is the right hangar, but I don’t see any jets.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' A jet’s not fast enough.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' What’s faster than a jet?
:'''Dash:''' Hey, how about a rocket?
:''[The other Incredibles follow Dash's finger to an enormous shield-shaped rocket, identical to the one launched earlier — save for a perfect circular hole in the center.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Great! I can’t fly a rocket.
:'''Violet:''' You don’t have to. Use the coordinates from the last launch.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Ah, wait. I bet Syndrome’s changed the password by now. How do I get into the computer?
:''[A voice comes over the loudspeaker.]''
:'''Mirage:''' Say please.
:''[The Incredibles turn and look up. Mirage stands in the monitoring station above the launchpad, smiling.]''

:''[The stereo plays soft jazz as Lucius (aka Frozone) dresses for dinner. He slaps some aftershave on his face, checking his look in the mirror. A low series of booms grows louder, causing him to look up to see the Omnidroid outside his apartment wreaking havoc on Municiberg; a military chopper strafing it with machine-gun fire. He immediately goes through his dresser drawers.]''
:'''Lucius:''' '''Honey?!'''

:''[Cut back to the Omnidroid destroying the city. The driver of a gasoline tanker truck screeches to a halt, his eyes bugging out at the rampaging Omnidroid]''
:'''Man:''' RUN!
:''[He jumps from the truck just as the Omnidroid seizes the tanker in a giant claw and flings it down the street. A young mother sees it arcing toward her baby carriage.]''
:'''Woman:''' MY BABY!
:''[Syndrome holds the tanker in place just above the carriage and woman. The crowd is immediately electrified by the sight of the red-haired Superhero.]''
:'''Man:''' The Supers have returned!
:'''Woman:''' Is that Fironic?
:'''Man:''' Fironic?
:'''Woman:''' No, Fironic has a different outfit!
:'''Syndrome:''' No, no, I’m a new superhero! I’m SYNDROME!
:''[Syndrome carelessly flings the tanker truck behind him with a flourish. It explodes, frightening the crowd. The Omnidroid moves towards him.]'' All right, stand back. ''[The Omnidroid reaches a massive claw toward Syndrome, who presses a series of buttons on his power cuff. The robot freezes suddenly, idling. Syndrome smiles, pressing another series of buttons on his remote.]'' Someone needs to teach this hunk of metal a few manners. ''[Putting on a good show, Syndrome flies around the idling bot, and delivers a punch to one of its leg sockets.]''
:'''OMNIDROID'S P.O.V.''': Technical readouts spray across its viewscreen as it confirms Syndrome's instructions: RESTRAIN BATTLE MODE. DETACH ARM AT SIGNAL.
:'''Syndrome:''' Ha, ha!
:''[On cue, one of the Omnidroid's limbs suddenly falls out of its socket, thudding uselessly to the ground. As Syndrome revels in the cheers of the crowd, we push in on the Omnidroid. It's watching Syndrome. And thinking — OMNIDROID'S P.O.V.: Technical readouts spray across its viewscreen as it analyzes: CONTROL STOLEN BY EXTERNAL SIGNAL.]''
;LOCATE SOURCE: EXTERNAL SIGNAL
:Columns of numbers are crunched. The Omnidroid's lens-eye zooms in on the control bands around Syndrome's wrist — SIGNAL SOURCE: REMOTE CONTROL — and comes to a logical conclusion: OVERRIDE EXTERNAL CONTROL
:DESTROY REMOTE CONTROL
:''[The Omnidroid fires a precise laser shot, blasting the remote right off Syndrome's wrist. It clatters to the street. Syndrome whirls around in horror as the bot goes after him. He flies out of control, and he crashes onto a building. He lands, tries to get up and falls unconscious soon after.]''
:''[Frozone appears on the scene. High above the earth — another rocket, identical to the first one, descends from the clouds. Again, it separates into quarters which fall away, revealing the landing craft inside — and only then do we notice what's different about it: in the center of the large, perfectly round hole designed to house the Omnidroid is — the command vehicle, precariously held in place by a very stretched, very stressed Helen. Inside the command vehicle Bob is at the wheel, Vi and Dash are seated at a small table in the back.]''
:'''Dash:''' ''[exasperated]'' Are we nearly there yet?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' We'll get there when we get there!
:''[opens the window; to Helen, who is suspended from the Omnidroid's lander, clutching its sides and holding the van in place as loose debris is scattered everywhere.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' How you doing, honey?
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Do I have to answer?!
:''[The giant wing is descending, gliding closer to the water, as the city looms closer directly ahead.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Kids, strap yourselves down like I told you!
:''[Violet and Dash move to the seats at the monitor panels, belting themselves in. Bob opens his window, yells up to Helen]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Here we go, honey! Ready, Violet? ''[Violet holds a hand over a giant, jerry-rigged release switch.]'' Ready? Now! ''[Violet slams the switch. The explosive bolts fire, separating the wing. Helen let's go with a pained shout, swings inside through the window. Bob steps on the gas. The command vehicle wheels spin. Bob tenses as he watches the speedometer move past 110, 120, 130.]'' This is gonna be rough! ''[The command vehicle sails over an overpass, clipping a light pole, and crashes to the pavement in a shower of sparks. It flies down the street at 200 MPH. Fighting to keep control, Bob hits the brakes. Smoke erupts from the wheel wells.]'' The robot’s in the financial district. Which exit do I take?
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Traction Avenue.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' That'll take me downtown. I take 7th, don't I?
:''[Bob cranks the wheel and cuts across several lanes toward the Seventh Street exit.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Don’t take 7th!
:''[Bob aborts the exit, swerving hard to avoid a collision.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Great, we missed it!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' You asked me how to get there, and I told you. Exit at Traction!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' That’ll take me downtown!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' It's coming up! Get in the right lane! Signal!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' ''[changing lanes]'' We don't exit at Traction!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' '''''<big>YOU'RE GONNA MISS IT!!!!</big>'''''
:''[The command vehicle takes a violent swerve across six lanes, barely making the off-ramp! Sparks spray as the vehicle slams into the guardrail. The command vehicle careens off the railing and into traffic, narrowly missing a semi. Horns blare. Bob's teeth clench as he fights to slow the vehicle down. He stomps both feet on the brakes. Its tires smoking, the command vehicle pulls sideways and loses it, tumbling down the center of the street, spraying metal pieces in its wake. It rolls into an open parking space, and lands — miraculously upright, stripped like an ear of eaten corn. A more perfect parallel park couldn't have been executed. Bob and Helen sit up woozily. Bob turns to Dash and Violet.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Is everybody okay back there?
:''[Violet and Dash pull themselves upright. They look as if they've emerged from an industrial tumble dryer]''
:'''Violet:''' Super-duper, Dad!
:'''Dash:''' ''[laughing]'' Let’s do that again.
:''[The Omnidroid comes into view through the cracked windshield. Bob releases his seat belt, turns to Helen.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Wait here and stay hidden. I’m going in.
:''[Bob grimly starts after the Omnidroid. Helen stretches an arm out and grabs his shoulder, spinning him around.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' While what? I watch helplessly from the sidelines? I don’t think so.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I’m '''''asking you''''' to wait with the kids.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' And I’m '''''telling you''''', "not a chance". You’re my husband. I’m with you for better or worse.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I have to do this alone!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' What is this to you? Playtime?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' No.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' So you can be Mr. Incredible AGAIN?!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' No!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Then what? What is it?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I’m not...
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Not what?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I’m not strong enough.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Strong enough. And this will make you stronger?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Yes. No!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' That’s what this is? Some sort of workout!?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' <big><big><big>'''''I CAN'T LOSE YOU AGAIN!'''''</big></big></big> ''[Helen is stunned. She stares at Bob, whose head is bowed like a child]'' I can’t. Not again. I’m not... strong enough.
:''[Helen searches Bob's eyes, deeply touched. She throws her arms around him, kissing him.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' If we work together, you won’t have to be.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I don’t know what’ll happen.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Hey. We’re superheroes. What can happen?
:''[Violet screams. She and Dash jump clear just as the command vehicle is crushed by the Omnidroid's metal foot. The Incredibles run. Another Omnidroid foot smashes into the street, blocking the kids' way. Bob and Helen stop, whirling]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Vi, Dash— NO!
:''[The Omnidroid is now fully focused on the kids, pounding Violet's force field relentlessly with its giant claws. The shield holds. The Omnidroid draws itself up and drops — the entirety of its massive bulk slams into the force field knocking Vi unconscious. Her force field flickers out]''
:'''Dash:''' Violet?
:''[Again, the Omnidroid draws itself up to deliver the crushing blow. Dash cringes and the bot drops — and hits an obstacle halfway down. Dash looks up]''
:'''Dash:''' Dad!
:''[Bob is underneath the bot, on his back, his arms and legs straining under the weight of it.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Go, go!
:''[Violet comes to and is instantly yanked out from under the bot and into Helen's arms.]''
:'''Violet:''' I’m okay, mom. Really.
:''[Dash follows them around the corner. Straining, Bob lifts the Omnidroid enough to get his feet underneath him. The bot snatches Bob out from underneath and flings him at a building across the street. The windows of the nearby building shatter as Bob's body tumbles across the floor, scattering desks and chairs. Helen rounds a corner out of the Omnidroid's view and carefully sets Violet down. She looks at Dash and Vi.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Stay here, okay?
:''[Helen turns away, charging back toward the robot. Vi and Dash watch their fearless mother in amazement.]''
:''[as the Omnidroid pulls itself up the building to look for Bob. Bob charges the Omnidroid, hitting it with enough force to dislodge it from the building. It falls, crashing into the street with an earth-shattering boom. Bob falls with it but rolls and lands on his feet. The familiar sound of cracking ice causes Bob to look up]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Frozone! Yeah!
:''[A narrow sheet of ice streaks across the pavement and Frozone skates past, joining the fight. Following Frozone — He moves to the Omnidroid, expertly icing its joints as it tries to get up. The Omnidroid whines as its motors strain against the ice. Further down the street, Helen rushes up to Bob]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Bob!
:''[Just then Frozone sails into frame and crashes into the roof of a parked car. Bob turns angrily toward the Omnidroid and is immediately smacked by it. Bob flies into the side of a building and tumbles to the street. Frozone and Helen distract the Omnidroid, heckling it and spreading out. It goes after them like an enraged beast. Dazed, Bob looks up and sees a strange device on the ground in front of him. He examines it, his eyes widening when he realizes what it is. He holds it up, yelling excitedly to the others]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Hey! Syndrome’s remote!
:''[The Omnidroid comes down on Bob like a ton of bricks, lifting him high above the ground. Miraculously, Bob has held on to the remote, and he quickly stabs at the buttons, hoping to get lucky. With a boom, one of the bot's limbs releases, sending it — and Bob — crashing to the ground]''
:''[Around the corner, Violet sees this. She turns to Dash]''
:'''Violet:''' The remote controls the robot!
:''[The Omnidroid knows this too, and it fires laser blasts at Bob to try to stop Bob from using the remote. Bob jumps clear, then hears Dash from down the street.]''
:'''Dash:''' Hey, Dad! Throw it, throw it!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Go long!
:''[Bob gives the remote a monster throw, flinging it high into the air and across the river. Dash pivots and takes off after it. The Omnidroid sees Dash and starts firing after him. With Dash as he hits the water, jetting across the water's surface as the Omnidroid fires away. The water explodes around Dash, but he concentrates on the remote, following it into his hands like an NFL receiver.]''
:'''Dash:''' Got it!
:''[Dash crosses the river and hits the streets on the other side, seemingly home free. But the Omnidroid is still firing, and it hits some cars in Dash's path, igniting their gas tanks. Suddenly Dash is surrounded by a wall of flames! Bob runs toward Helen, who is closer to the Omnidroid.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Honey, take out its guns!
:''[Helen hears him. She grabs a heavy manhole cover winding her elastic arm around a light pole to fling it — like an arrow — at the Omnidroid's gun. Bullseye. What follows amounts to a game of hot potato between the Supers and the Omnidroid over the remote: Frozone saves Dash from the circle of burning cars. Omnidroid sees this and goes after them. With Dash on his back, Frozone races across the river, freezing it in front of him as he goes.]''
:'''Frozone:''' Dash! Gotcha!
:''[Omnidroid jumps — almost on top of them, creating a massive wave and throwing Dash and Frozone high into the air. Thinking fast, Frozone turns the wave into a wall of snow. It crashes over the streets, cushioning their fall. The remote clatters to the ground. Bob sees it and runs for it. The Omnidroid sees Bob and fires a claw — catching Bob just as he was reaching for the remote. The claw — with Bob inside — tumbles end over end down the street. With Bob out of the way, the Omnidroid heads for the remote. Frozone ices the Omnidroid's path, causing its metal feet to slip and slide. Helen runs ahead of the Omnidroid, stretching herself into a tripwire across the stumbling Omnidroid's path. It crashes to the street. The Omnidroid looks up. The remote lies on the street just in front of it, easily within its grasp. The Omnidroid reaches out with a claw to destroy the remote. The remote magically jumps clear. The Omnidroid tries again, and again the remote darts away. Riled now, it rears up and stabs wildly at the remote with all of its arms. We hear Violet shriek, as the remote repeatedly eludes the Omnidroid's grasp: finally tangling its legs so badly that it topples over. Violet reappears, running back to rejoin the group in the middle of the street.]''
:'''Frozone''': Violet!
:'''Violet:''' Mom, I’ve got it! I’ve got the remote!
:'''Frozone:''' '''''A remote? A remote that controls what?'''''
:''[Violet begins to fiddle with the remote's click-wheel, pressing its buttons to no effect. The Omnidroid has gotten to its feet and lunges toward them. Violet shrieks and presses the button one last time. Rockets fire underneath the Omnidroid's clawed feet, lifting the enormous machine into the air.]''
:'''Frozone:''' THE ROBOT?!?'
:''[Everyone ducks as the Omnidroid rockets overhead, crashing into a building at the end of the street. Like a woozy prizefighter, the Omnidroid gets back on its feet.]''
:'''Dash:''' It's coming back!
:''[Dash snatches the remote from Violet, aims it at the Omnidroid, spins the click-wheel and presses a button. Behind Dash (and unseen by all) the claws on the Omnidroid's detached arm spring open — flinging Bob into the air.]''
:'''Dash:''' That wasn't right.
:'''Violet:''' ''[snatching remote back]'' Give me that!
:DOWN THE STREET - WITH BOB
:''[He climbs to his feet, muttering to himself.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' We can’t stop it. The only thing hard enough to penetrate it is... ''[A thought hits him. Remembering the first fight he had with the Omnidroid in the jungle, lava and volcano, he turns, staring at the metal claw]'' itself.
:'''Dash:''' It's getting closer.
:'''Violet:''' It doesn't work!
:''[Helen has the remote now and is trying to figure it out. The Omnidroid has them all in its sights and is lumbering toward them. The kids are starting to panic.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' No, this'll work! This'll work! Lucius, try to buy us some time!
:'''Frozone:''' Try the one next to it.
:''[Lucius takes off, throwing ice and skating down the street toward the approaching Omnidroid. He jumps off an ice ramp, his skates converting into a circular ski-disc in mid-air. He lands, throwing a massive ice wall in front of the Omnidroid.]''
:''[With Bob as he closes the claw into a massive arrowhead and starts charging down the street. With Helen and the kids — Helen dials the click-wheel on the remote and presses one of the buttons. The back of the claw suddenly fires a rocket engine. Bob veers crazily, trying to control it. Helen presses the button again. Now close to the group, Bob's claw rocket switches off. Bob gets an idea]''
:''[Helen presses a button. The claw blades start to spin.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Honey! ''[Frozone is putting up an ice wall to delay the Omnidroid's advancement toward them]'' Wait a minute. <big><big><big>'''''PRESS THAT BUTTON AGAIN!! NO, THE OTHER ONE!! T-THE FIRST ONE!'''''</big></big></big>
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' First button! Got it!
:''[The Omnidroid has broken through the first ice wall and pounding away at a second one. Though Frozone's giving it all he's got, the Omnidroid's starting to break through.]''
:''[Helen looks at the remote, gestures at her kids.]''
:'''Dash:''' It’s getting closer!
:'''Frozone:''' Look out!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Get outta here, kids, find a safe spot!
:'''Violet:''' We’re not going anywhere!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' <big>''''PRESS THE BUTTON!''''</big>
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Not yet!
:'''Frozone:''' ''[apprehensively, as the Omnidroid advances toward Bob]'' Helen...?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' <big><big>'''''WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?'''''</big></big>
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' A closer target! Ya got one shot!
:''[The Omnidroid shatters the ice wall Frozone put up, it's almost on top of them. Elastigirl presses the button. The claw-rocket fires. Mr. Incredible aims it directly at the Omnidroid's metal underbelly—]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' <big>'''''EVERYBODY DUCK!'''''</big>
:''[—and releases it. The giant metal claw roars overhead and drills clean through the Omnidroid's body, coming out the other side embedded in the CPU. For a long moment nothing happens. Then the gargantuan machine keels over and explodes. It's over. The family looks at each other, stunned]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Hey, Zone.
:''[Frozone starts laughing. Mr. Incredible smiles as he looks at his super family. It feels like his best memories... only better. The seemingly empty city begins to come to life, as people emerge from their hiding places, converging in the street. People begin to spontaneously cheer the heroes, welcoming the Supers' return. Syndrome comes to. Looks over the edge to the streets below to find the battle over and the masses cheering, not for him, but for the group of Supers. He darkens]''
:'''Syndrome:''' Huh? NO!
:''[Two elderly gentlemen stand together in the crowd. One nudges the other]''
:'''Frank Thomas''' Hey, did you see that? That's the way to do it. That's old school.
:'''Ollie Johnston:''' Yeah. No school like the old school.
:'''Frank Thomas:''' Yeah!
:''[They drink in the cheers as the adoring crowd gathers around them]''
:'''Frozone:''' ''[chuckles]'' Just like old times.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Just like old times. ''[slaps Frozone on the back, a little too hard]''
:'''Frozone:''' ''[shaking it off]'' Oh! Yeah. Hurt then too.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[A long, black limo cruises down the street. Mr. Incredible sits proudly with his family as Rick Dicker debriefs them. Everyone is enjoying the moment, save for Elastigirl, who has already clicked back into "mother mode" and is using the car phone to get messages]''
:'''Rick Dicker:''' We've frozen all of Syndrome's assets. If he even sneezes, we'll be there with a hanky and a pair of handcuffs. The people of this country are indebted to you.

:'''Rick Dicker:''' Let the politicians figure that one out. But I've been asked to assure you we'll take care of everything else. You did good, Bob.

:'''Kari:''' ''[over phone as Jack-Jack is still crying]'' I'M CALL THE POLICE OR SOMEONE! ''[calmly]'' Hi, this is Kari. Sorry for freakin' out, but your baby has special needs.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' "Special needs"?
:'''Kari:''' Anyway, thanks for sending a replacement sitter.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Replacement? I didn't call for a replacement.
:''[Bob's eyes widen. He and Helen jump from the car, followed by the kids. They cross the lawn and burst through the front door to reveal — Syndrome who spins, hitting the family with his Zero-point energy ray. Cradling a sleeping Jack-Jack in his arms, he grins.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' Shh....The baby is sleeping. ''[Evil laugh]'' You took away my future. I’m simply returning the favor. Oh, don’t worry, I’ll be a good mentor. Supportive, encouraging. Everything that you weren’t. And in time, who knows, he might make a good sidekick. Ha ha!
:''[Syndrome flings the family into the bookcase. He points his power band toward the roof and blows a huge hole in it, revealing his Manta Jet hovering high above. Syndrome fires his jet-boots and takes off toward the jet.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' '''''He’s getting away, Bob!! <big>WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING NOW!!!!</big>'''''
:''[Jack-Jack awakens to the sight of his family and home receding beneath him. He starts crying, reaching out for them. Syndrome nears the Manta Jet. Jack-Jack's crying turns angry, and he suddenly bursts into flames. Syndrome shrieks. Jack-Jack's fire goes out, revealing that the baby has turned to metal. Syndrome drops with the sudden weight. His jet-boots compensate, but Syndrome is struggling to stay aloft. The baby's flesh reverts to normal, but the baby begins to vibrate fiercely. Syndrome can barely keep hold of him]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Something’s happening. What’s happening??
:''[The vibrating baby begins to redden, transforming abruptly into a mini demon. The Jack-Jack monster throws a headlock around Syndrome, laughing maniacally and starts to rip apart Syndrome's Jet-boots!]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' '''''<big>WE HAVE TO STOP HIM!!!! THROW SOMTHING!!!!</big>'''''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I can’t! I might hit Jack-Jack!
:''[Jack-Jack screeched while attacking Syndrome. He pulled some of Syndrome's hair and kicks his chin.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' ''[realization, softly]'' Throw me.
:''[Jack-Jack rips a valve from Syndrome's jet-boots, which propels him upward, slamming his head into the jet's wing. He loses hold of Jack-Jack, who falls after changing back into his human form and starts crying.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' '''''<big>BOB, THROW ME!!</big>'''''
:''[Helen leaps into Bob's arms, forming into a spear shape. Bob takes aim and flings her toward the falling baby. Helen soars — and grabs Jack-Jack! She quickly blooms into a parachute.]''
:''[Syndrome regains control. He successfully docks with the hovering Manta Jet. He stands at the docking doors, his cape blowing dramatically upwards]''
:'''Syndrome:''' '''''NO!!!''''' This isn't the end of it! I will get your son eventually! I'll get your son! ''[laughs and gasps as he sees Mr. Incredible hurling his car into the air towards the Manta Jet.]'' Oh, no.
:''[Syndrome jumps back as the crafts collide, blowing him off his feet and up over the wing, toward the turbines. Clawing madly to find purchase, he looks over his shoulder in time to see the end of his cape sucked into the intake. Syndrome screams as he's yanked out of frame. Bob, Dash and Violet react as the Manta Jet explodes. Elastigirl cradles Jack-Jack facing upwards, his back toward the ground. He looks at her, giggling and cooing]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Look at Mommy, honey. Don’t look down. Mommy’s got you. Everything is all right.
:''[But Jack-Jack sees burning wreckage coming toward them and starts to shriek, pointing upwards. Helen turns to see it as wreckage crashes on top of them, destroying the Parr home. Elastigirl and Jack-Jack are saved. Violet and Helen exchange a meaningful look.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' That’s my girl.
:'''Dash:''' Does this mean we have to move again?
:''[Everyone chuckles at this. The smoke begins to clear, revealing a lone witness to this cataclysmic event — Rusty, whose eyes are as big as dinner plates.]''
:'''Rusty:''' Oh, man. '''''<big><big><big><big>THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!!!!!!!</big></big></big></big>'''''

:''[The stadium parking lot is about half full on a beautiful cloudless day. The sign outside the stadium displays "JUNIOR HIGH TRACK FINALS". Inside the stadium, young runners loosen up at the starting line of the hundred-yard dash. Dash is among them. He waves to the stands. In the stands, Bob, Helen and Jack-Jack wave back. Coming down the steps is none other than Violet's crush, Tony Rydinger. He waves cooly at some friends and heads toward the concession stand. Pausing when he sees Violet and a friend talking nearby. He approaches them.]''

:'''Violet:''' Friday. ''[She sits down with Bob, Helen and Jack-Jack]''

:''[Dash hears them and looks toward the stands.]''
:'''Helen''': Run, Dash! Run!

:'''Dash:''' I didn't know what the heck you wanted me to do.

A gargantuan drill spirals out of the ground, throwing dirt and chunks of asphalt in all directions. People run screaming as the enormous metallic vehicle crests and crashes to earth. A door opens on top and a hulking figure in dirty overalls emerges atop a rising platform, his ragged voice amplified through a loudspeaker,]''

A magnificent, masked man in a black-and-blue superhero suit is sitting in a chair: mid-twenties, ruggedly handsome and powerfully built, he fiddles with a clip-on microphone.

:'''Mr. Incredible''': Is this on?
:'''Interviewer''': ''[off-screen]'' That’s fine.
:'''Mr. Incredible''': ''[muttering to himself]'' I can break through walls, I just can’t…
:'''Interviewer''': ''[off-screen]'' That’s fine.
:'''Mr. Incredible''': I can’t get this on.
:'''Interviewer''': ''[off-screen]'' So, Mr. Incredible, do you have a secret identity?

I said, "Girl, I don’t wanna '''''know''''' about your mild-mannered alter ego." or anything like that. I mean, you tell me you’re a super-mega-ultra-lightnin'-babe, that’s alright with me. I’m good. I’m good.
:'''Mr. Incredible''': No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved, you know? For a little bit. I feel like the maid. I just cleaned up this mess. Can we keep it clean for ten minutes?
:'''Interviewer:''' I could get to that point.
:'''Mr. Incredible:''' Please?
:'''Interviewer:''' Wait, no, don’t get up. We’re not finished.

I don’t think so. I don’t think so. ''[fades to black. On-screen Text: The Incredibles. Sirens wail as lights flash, we're in the middle of a classic car chase: A police car in hot pursuit of another car driven by armed bank robbers. The robber riding shotgun primes his sub-machine gun and unloads on the cop car, which swerves into oncoming traffic to avoid the hail of bullets. Bob Parr, a dashing, golden-haired man in his thirties listens to his radio. If he looks familiar, it's because he is the same man we saw earlier: Mr. Incredible, minus the mask and super-suit. Suddenly the music is interrupted by an announcement]''
:'''Police Radio:''' We interrupt for an important bulletin. A deadly high-speed pursuit between police and armed gunmen is underway, traveling northbound on San Pablo Avenue.
:''[Bob presses a button. The radio flips: converting to a screen filled with a moving aerial map of the city streets. He selects "Isolate Pursuit". Two red dots appear, moving quickly over the map. He makes a hard right turn. Looks at the screen. A tiny "i" icon (Mr. Incredible's logo) closes in on the two red dots. He checks his watch]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Yeah, I’ve got time.
:''[He presses another button: "Auto-drive" and selects "Merge Pursuit". Bob takes his hands off the wheel and a rapid series of automated actions begin: the seat back drops flat; the passenger seat folds against the window as the driver's seat slides to the center. Bob raises his arms as metal bands lock around his waist, then separate, sliding apart toward his head and his toes, removing his clothes to reveal his slick, brightly colored Mr. Incredible super-suit underneath. He presses another button: the car's exterior converts into the coolest retro-futuristic vehicle ever seen: The Incredi-Bile. Mr. Incredible looks up: Through the windshield we see an old lady waving him down]''
:'''Old Lady:''' Mr. Incredible. Um, Mr. Incredible…
:''[Mr. Incredible pulls up. His window whooshes open]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' What is it, ma’am?
:'''Old Lady:''' ''[pointing to tree]'' My cat, Squeaker, won’t come down.
:''[Mr. Incredible glances at his screen: the pursuit is headed his way. He thinks, making some quick calculations, then]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Certainly, ma’am! But I suggest you stand clear. There could be trouble.
:'''Old Lady:''' No, no. He’s quite tame.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Let go now! ''[cat yowls]''
:''[The cop car pulls back in behind the robbers' car. The cops are firing now and closing in. Mr. Incredible and the cat tree. Nervously checking the pursuit on his video screen, Mr. Incredible rips the tree out of the ground. He tips it, leaning it across to the old lady just as the car chase squeals into view at the end of the block. Mr. Incredible sees this and hastily shakes the tree, trying to dislodge Squeaker. The car chase. The cars swerve into view now, bordering the park that Mr. Incredible is in. Mr. Incredible sees them and shakes Squeaker harder. Chase cars close in. Mr. Incredible. Car chase. Squeaker. Chase. Squeaker, one final shake: Squeaker drops into the Old Lady's hands. Mr. Incredible raises the tree up and slams it down on the hood of the crooks' car, squashing it like a bug. Mr. Incredible tamps down the loose dirt at the base of the freshly replanted tree and smiles at his admirers]''
:'''Police Officer #1:''' Thank you, Mr. Incredible. You’ve done it again.
:'''Police Officer #2:''' Yeah, you’re the best.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' No, I’m just here to help.

:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Tour bus robbery. I’ve still got time. Officers. Ma’am. Squeaker.
:''[Mr. Incredible jumps into the Incredi-Bile and is startled to find a pudgy kid wearing a mask and a homemade superhero costume sitting in the passenger seat. This is Buddy Pine aka IncrediBoy]''

:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' You know. ''[the snatcher looks up. He grins]'' you can tell a lot about a woman by the contents of her purse, but maybe that’s not what you had in mind.
:'''Snatcher:''' Hey, look!
:''[Mr. Incredible closes in on him. The snatcher drops the purse and pulls a gun. Suddenly, an arm stretches and punches the snatcher's jaw. Mr. Incredible looks up and sees a dazzling masked woman in an equally dazzling suit. She smiles. If she looks familiar, it's because she is the same woman we saw earlier: Elastigirl, aka the soon-to-be Helen Parr]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Elastigirl.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Mr. lncredible.
:''[Elastigirl moves to the snatcher, begins to pick him up]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' No, it’s all right. I’ve got him.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Sure, you’ve got him. I just took him out for you.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Sure, you took him out. His attention was on me.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' A fact I exploited to do my job.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' My job, you mean.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' A simple thank you will suffice.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Thanks, but I don’t need any help.
:''[Elastigirl assesses him. Slowly moves closer]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Whatever happened to "ladies first"?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Well, whatever happened to equal treatment?
:'''Snatcher:''' ''[regaining consciousness]'' Hey, look, the lady got me first. ''[Elastigirl coldcocks the crook with one stretched punch]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Well, we could share, you know.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I work alone.
:''[Elastigirl smiles, moves very close to Mr. Incredible]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Well, I think you need to be more…
:''[In one fluid motion she loops around his body, suddenly behind him and before he can turn, back in front again]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' ...flexible.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible)''': ''[dazzled]'' Are...you doin' anything later?
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' I have a previous engagement.
:''[She makes a little stutter step to the edge of the roof and jumps, flips, loops and stretches across the rooftops like a liquid cat, disappearing into the setting sun. Mr. Incredible lets out a low whistle. That. Is a woman]''
:''[Mr. Incredible handcuffs the snatcher to a pipe]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible)''': Now, you just stay here. They usually pick up the garbage in an hour.
:'''Frozone''': Hey, Incredible!
:''[Mr. Incredible turns. A helicopter sweeps past, machine guns blazing back towards its pursuer. Frozone swoops down, hot on its tail, surfing a sheet of ice that materializes in his path]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible)''': Hey, Frozone!
:''[Frozone leaps, grabbing on to one of the chopper's skids]''
:'''Frozone''': Shouldn't you be getting ready?

:'''Woman''': ''[off-screen]'' He's gonna jump!
:''[Mr. Incredible runs to the edge of the building and looks down. A large crowd is gathered on the streets below. Mr. Incredible follows their upwards gaze to the roof of a skyscraper with a man, Oliver Sansweet, who stands poised to jump, then does. Mr. Incredible quickly gauges distances, and then dives off the edge, making a spectacular leap, and tackles him in mid-air and then breaking through an enormous window on the far side, and tumbles to the floor in a shower of glass. Safe]''
:''[Off-screen: the people outside are now clapping in applause]''
:'''Sansweet''': I think you broke something.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible)''': Well, with counseling, I think you'll come to forgive me. ''[senses something]'' Wait a minute...
:''[Mr. Incredible slides Sansweet over to a desk and props him up against it]''
:''[His acute senses turn his attention to the hallway, toward the elevators. As he follows his ears, we become aware of a sound: a tiny series of regular beeps. Mr. Incredible locates a spot on the wall and presses one ear against it. The beeps accelerate. Mr. Incredible starts to push away and... BOOM! The hallway is filled with smoke and debris. A silhouette emerges from the newly blown hole in the wall; a tall, rangy man in a mime costume carries two stuffed duffel bags. This is Bomb Voyage. He surveys the scene with a wicked smile. A vault door is embedded into the wall directly opposite the hole. It moves aside, revealing Mr. Incredible behind it, dazed but unharmed. He sees the mime and growls]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible)''': ''[coughing]'' Bomb Voyage.
:'''Bomb Voyage''': ''[first words]'' <big><big>'''''Monsieur Incroyable!'''''</big></big> [Translation: Mr. Incredible!]

:''[Both Mr. Incredible and Voyage turn and stare in disbelief at the kid, who awkwardly flies over to them]''
:'''Bomb Voyage''': IncrediBoy?
:'''IncrediBoy''': Hey, hey! Aren’t you curious about how I get around so fast? See? I have these rocket boots.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Go home, Buddy.
:'''IncrediBoy:''' What?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Now.
:'''Bomb Voyage:''' '''''Petit mufe va!''''' [Translation: Little oaf…]
:'''IncrediBoy:''' ''[he takes Bob aside]'' Can we talk? You always, always say be true to yourself, but you never say which part of yourself to be true to. Well, I’ve finally figured out who I am. I am your ward…IncrediBoy!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' And now, you have officially carried it too far, Buddy.
:''[Mr. Incredible grabs Bomb Voyage before he could get away. There is an ugly flash in Buddy's eyes]''
:'''IncrediBoy:''' This is because I don’t have powers, isn’t it? Well not every superhero has powers, you know. You can be super without them. [re: his rocket boots] I built these. I can fly. Can you fly?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' ''[warns IncrediBoy]'' Fly home, Buddy. I work alone.
:'''Bomb Voyage''': ''[last words]'' <big><big>'''''Et ton costume est complètement ridicule!'''''</big></big> [Translation: And your outfit is totally ridiculous!]
:'''IncrediBoy:''' Just give me one chance! ''[to Bomb Voyage]'' I’ll show you. I’ll go get the police.
:''[As Buddy jogs to the shattered window, Mr. Incredible sees that Voyage has sneakily clipped a small bomb onto Buddy's cape]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Buddy, don’t!
:'''IncrediBoy:''' It’ll only take a second, really.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' ''[takes off after him]'' NO, STOP! There’s a bomb!
:''[Mr. Incredible grabs Buddy's cape just as "IncrediBoy" takes off, taking Mr. Incredible with him. Mr. Incredible and the boy rocket wildly out of control, spraying sparks in every direction, Mr. Incredible grabbing at the cape desperately for the bomb]''

:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Will you just…?? I’m trying to help! Stop!
:'''IncrediBoy:''' Let go of my cape!
:''[Mr. Incredible finally grabs hold of the bomb and flings it free. Both he and the bomb fall onto the elevated train tracks below. The bomb explodes, blowing away a large section of track. Mr. Incredible groggily looks up; A train is coming. And heading straight for the section of track that is no longer there. Mr. Incredible sets his jaw and starts running toward the oncoming train, leaping the chasm to intercept the train before it gets there. Mr. Incredible pulls up and plants himself. The expression on his face says it all: this is going to hurt. The train hits; Mr. Incredible taking the full impact. Rail ties break behind Mr. Incredible's feet, spraying in all directions as Mr. Incredible, miraculously, wrestles the train to a stop]''
:''[Finally, Police and paramedics have arrived, cordoning off the accident scene and treating the injured. At last, Mr. Incredible hands Buddy over to the police]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Take this one home. And make sure his '''''mom''''' '''''knows what he's been doing'''''.
:'''IncrediBoy:''' I can help you. You’re making a mista---hey!
:''[The cops shove Buddy into the backseat of their car]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' The injured jumper. You sent paramedics?
:'''Police Officer:''' They’ve already picked him up.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' The blast in that building was caused by Bomb Voyage who I caught in the act robbing the vault. Now, we might be able to nab him if we set up a perimeter.
:'''Police Officer #2:''' You mean he got away?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Well, yeah. '''''Skippy here''''' made sure of '''''that'''''.
:'''IncrediBoy:''' ''[last words]'' IncrediBoy!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' You’re not affiliated with me!!
:''[A tiny alarm sounds. Mr. Incredible checks his wristwatch]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Holy smokes, I’m late. Listen, I’ve gotta be somewhere.
:''[Mr. Incredible signals the Incredi-Bile with a remote. It roars into view, squeals to a stop next to him]''
:'''Police Officer:''' What about Bomb Voyage?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Any other night, I’d go after him myself, but I really gotta go. But don’t worry. We'll get him! Eventually!
:''[Mr. Incredible fires the afterburners. The cops watch in dismay as the Incredi-Bile roars off]''
:''[He enters, dressed smartly in a tux, fumbling with his tie]''

:'''Lucius:''' You’re '''''very late.'''''
:'''Bob:''' How do I look? Good?
:''[His best man named Lucius Best (aka Frozone) stops him before he...]''
:'''Lucius:''' Oh, the mask! You still got the mask.
:''[Lucius reaches up and pulls off his Mr. Incredible mask. Bob takes a deep breath and pushes open the chapel doors]''

:''[Bob, the groom stands at the altar with his bride, Helen, who we quickly realize is also Elastigirl]''
:'''Minister:''' Robert Parr, will you have this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?
:'''Helen:''' You’re late. When you asked me if I was '''''doing anything later''''', I didn’t realize you’d '''''actually forgotten'''''. I thought it was playful banter.
:'''Bob:''' It '''''was''''' playful banter.
:'''Helen:''' Cutting it kinda close, don’t ya think?
:'''Bob:''' You need to be more...flexible.
:'''Helen:''' I love you, but if we’re gonna make this work, you’ve gotta be more than Mr. Incredible. You know that. Don’t you?
:'''Minister:''' ...so long as you both shall live?
:'''Bob:''' I do.
:'''Minister:''' I pronounce this couple husband and wife.
:''[They kiss, as people are cheering and whistling. Gazerbeam, Stratogale, Dynaguy, Meta-Man, Thunderhead, E and Rick Dicker can be seen for a few seconds clapping.]''

:''[The screen switches to a news flash.]''
:'''Newsreel Narrator:''' In a stunning turn of events, a superhero is being sued for saving someone who, apparently, didn’t want to be saved. The plaintiff, Oliver Sansweet, who was foiled in his attempted suicide by Mr. Incredible, has filed a suit against the famed superhero in Superior Court.
:''[Oliver Sansweet's lawyer stands next to him on the crowded front steps, and speaks to a cluster of reporters]''
:'''Sansweet’s Lawyer:''' Mr. Sansweet didn’t ask to be saved, Mr. Sansweet didn’t wanna be saved! And the injury received from Mr. Incredible’s "actions", '''''so-called''''' causes him daily pain!
:'''Mr. Incredible:''' Hey, I saved your life!
:'''Sansweet:''' You didn’t save my life, you ruined my death! That’s what you did...!
:'''Mr. Incredible:''' Listen, you little ''[interrupted by his lawyer]'' piece of....
:'''Mr. Incredible's Lawyer:''' My client has no further comment at this time.
:'''Newsreel Narrator:''' Five days later, another suit was filed by victims of the El Train accident.
:''[Shots of a courtroom filled with neck-braced, cast-wearing, train-wreck victims. A lawyer goes through his paces, often gesturing toward a glowering Mr. Incredible]''
:'''Newsreel Narrator:''' Incredible’s court losses cost the government millions, and opened the floodgates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the world over.
:''[A series of spinning newspaper headlines describing the succession of lawsuits brought against superheroes saying, "DynaGuy sued!", "'SUPER' DAMAGES!", "X-RAY VISION PEEPING TOM?" Irate Taxpayers demonstrate, waving placards that read: "NO MORE SUPER BAILOUTS!", "$UPER EXPEN$IVE!", etc. A government employee addresses her colleagues]''
:'''Government Public Speaker:''' It is time for their '''''secret identity''''' to become their '''''only identity'''''. Time for them to join us, or go away!
:'''Newsreel Narrator:''' Under tremendous public pressure, and the crushing financial burden of an ever-mounting series of lawsuits, the government quietly initiated the superhero relocation program. ''[Superheroes exiting the public stage, as they wave goodbye (ala Nixon), duck into cars in a shower of popping flashbulbs, cheered by supporters, jeered by opponents, etc.]'' The supers will be granted amnesty from responsibility for past actions, in exchange for the promise to never again resume hero work. Where are they now?
:''[A throng of people mill about the city streets in diverse anonymity]''
:'''Newsreel Narrator:''' They are living among us. Average citizens, average heroes. Quietly and anonymously continuing to make the world a better place.

:'''Helen:''' Other kids don’t have superpowers. Now, it’s perfectly normal...
:'''Violet:''' Normal? What do '''''you''''' know about normal? What does '''''anyone in this family know about normal'''''?
:'''Helen:''' Now, wait a minute, young lady.
:'''Violet:''' We act normal, mom! I wanna '''''be''''' normal! The only '''''normal one''''' is Jack-Jack, and he’s not even toilet trained!!
:''[Jack-Jack laughs]''
:'''Dash:''' Lucky. I meant about being normal.

:'''Lucius:''' So now I’m in deep trouble. I mean, one more jolt of this death ray and I’m an epitaph. Somehow I managed to find cover and what does Baron Von Ruthless do?
:'''Bob:''' ''[laughing]'' He starts monologuing.
:'''Lucius:''' He starts monologuin'! He starts, like, this prepared speech about how '''''feeble''''' I am compared to him. How '''''inevitable my defeat is''''', how the '''''world will soon be his'''''! Yada, yada, yada.
:'''Bob:''' Yammerin'.
:'''Lucius:''' Yammerin'! I mean, the guy has me on a platter, and he won’t shut up.
:'''Police Radio:''' Municiberg, we have a 23-56...

:'''Bob:''' 23-56, what is that? Robbery?
:'''Lucius:''' This is just sad.
:'''Bob:''' Yeah, robbery. Wanna catch a robber?
:'''Lucius:''' No. Tell you the truth, I’d rather go '''''bowling'''''. Look, what if we actually '''''did''''' what our wives '''''think we’re doing'''''? Just to shake things up.
:''[Meanwhile, in an undercover car....]''
:'''Mirage:''' He’s not alone. The fat guy’s still with him. They’re just talking.

:'''Bob:''' We're protecting people.
:'''Lucius:''' Nobody '''''asked us'''''.
:'''Bob:''' You need an '''''invitation'''''?
:'''Lucius:''' I’d like one, yes. We keep sneakin' out to do this, and... you remember Gazerbeam?
:'''Bob:''' Yeah. There was somethin' about him in the paper.
:'''Lucius:''' He had trouble adjusting to civilian life, too.
:'''Bob:''' When’s the last time you saw him?
:'''Lucius:''' I don’t see anyone from the old days, Bob. Just you. And we’re pushin' our luck as it is.
:'''Bob:''' Oh, come on. Come on, come on.
:'''Lucius:''' It was fun the first time, but if we keep doin' this, we’re gonna get''—''

:'''Bob:''' WOOO-HOO!
:''[Lucius reluctantly drives forward...]''
:'''Bob:''' Fire! Yeah!
:''[...as the undercover car follows them]''
:''[The camera pans through the inside of a burning building, and then centers on Lucius and Bob, who are both carrying several people over their shoulders]''
:'''Lucius:''' Is that everybody!?
:'''Bob:''' Yeah, that’s everyone!
:'''Lucius:''' It '''''better be'''''. ''[He attempts to generate ice in vain]''
:'''Bob:''' Can’t you put this out?
:'''Lucius:''' I can’t lay down a layer thick enough! It’s evaporating too fast!
:'''Bob:''' Well, what’s that mean?
:'''Lucius:''' It means it’s '''''hot'''''! And I’m '''''dehydrated''''', Bob!
:'''Bob:''' You’re out of ice? You can’t run out of ice! I thought you used the water in the air!
:'''Lucius:''' There '''''is''''' no water in this air! What’s your excuse, run outta muscle?!
:'''Bob:''' I just can’t go smashing into walls! The building’s getting weaker by the second! It’s gonna come down on top of us!
:'''Lucius:''' ''I'' wanted to go '''''bowling!!!'''''
:'''Bob:''' All right! Stay right on my tail! This is gonna get hot!
:''[Bob turns to his side and begins to run with Lucius following him. They crash through the side of the building into the building next to them. A second outside shot of the burning building shows it collapse.]''
:'''Bob:''' Yeah....

:'''Helen:''' ''[angrily]'' I thought you'd be back by 11.
:'''Bob:''' I said I'd be back later.

:'''Bob:''' Well, I’m back, okay?
:'''Helen:''' ''[noticing a small piece of debris on Bob’s shirt]'' Is this... rubble?
:'''Bob:''' ''[with mouth full]'' It was just a little workout. Just to stay loose.
:'''Helen:''' You know how I feel about that, Bob! Darn you! We can’t blow our cover again!
:'''Bob:''' The building was coming down anyway.
:'''Helen:''' ''[shocked]'' What?! You knocked down a building?!
:'''Bob:''' It was on fire. Structurally unsound. It was coming down anyway.
:'''Helen:''' ''[facepalms]'' Tell me you haven't been listening to the police scanner again.
:'''Bob:''' Look, I performed a public service. You act like that’s a bad thing!
:'''Helen:''' It is a bad thing, Bob! Uprooting our family '''''again''''', so you can relive the glory days is a very bad thing!
:'''Bob:''' Reliving the glory days is better than acting like they didn’t happen!
:'''Helen:''' Yes! They happened! But this, our family, is what’s happening now, Bob. And you are missing this! I can’t believe you don’t wanna go to your own son’s graduation!
:'''Bob:''' It’s not a graduation. He’s moving from the fourth grade to the fifth grade.
:'''Helen:''' It’s a ceremony!
:'''Bob:''' It’s '''''psychotic'''''! They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity but if someone is genuinely exceptional, then—
:'''Helen:''' This is not about you, Bob! This is about Dash!
:'''Bob:''' You wanna do something for Dash? Then let him actually compete! Let him go out for sports!

:'''Bob:''' Come on. Come on out. It’s okay, kids. We’re just having a discussion.
:'''Violet:''' Pretty ''loud'' discussion.

:'''Bob:''' Did I do something illegal?
:'''Huph:''' ''[begrudgingly]'' ...no...

:'''Rick:''' Someone’s always in trouble.
:'''Bob:''' I had to do something.
:'''Rick:''' Yeah. Every time you say those words, it means a month and a half of trouble for me, Bob. It means hundreds of thousands of taxpayer’s dollars.

Walls and shelves cluttered with mementos of his storied past: framed photos, newspaper front pages, magazines, and, displayed on the wall under Plexiglas, his Mr. Incredible suit. Bob enters and closes the door. He opens his briefcase, pulls out an Insuricare employee manual. He growls and rips it in half, tossing it in the trashcan. On a roll now, he begins to dump the entire contents of his briefcase into the trash when—CLUNK! Bob double-takes— startled by the heavy sound. He peers over the edge of the desk, into the trash, and sees— a large manila envelope. He picks it up, and is surprised it's heavy. He opens it and pulls out a flat panel about a half-inch thick. On it is printed "This End Up". He turns the panel as instructed. In the center is a small circle with writing beneath it. Bob squints, unable to read the tiny letters. He brings it closer—his point of view: As the letters... slowly... come... into... focus]''
:'''Bob''': Huh? Hold still?
:''[Suddenly, the panel projects a blue grid over Bob's face, we hear a robotic male voice]''
:'''Tablet''': Match: Mr. Incredible.
:''[Bob drops the panel in surprise. It clatters to the floor, still functioning. A small foot-long rod with the metal ball at the top pops out from the panel, the ball at the tip makes a quick, single revolution, scanning the surrounding room with a vertical beam]''
:'''Tablet''': Room is Secure. Commence Message.
:''[The panel flickers. It's a video screen. An image appears, the beautiful platinum blonde woman who visited earlier that day is seen]''
:'''Mirage:''' Hello, Mr. Incredible. Yes, we know who you are. Rest assured, your secret is safe with us. My name is Mirage. We have somethin' in common. According to the government, neither of us exist. Please pay attention, as this message is classified and will not be repeated.

:'''Bob:''' It’s the TV, trying to watch!
:'''Mirage:''' Because of its highly sensitive nature, this mission does not, nor will it ever, exist.
:'''Helen:''' Well, stop trying. It’s time for dinner!
:'''Bob:''' One minute!

:''[A sleek-looking Manta Jet slices the sky. Bob, clad in his old (and now too-tight) Mr. Incredible suit is on board along with Mirage. She is briefing Bob on his mission.]''
:'''Mirage:''' The Omnidroid 9000 is a top-secret prototype battle robot. Its artificial intelligence enables it to solve any problem it’s confronted with. And unfortunately...
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Let me guess. It got smart enough to wonder why it had to take orders.
:'''Mirage:''' We lost control. And now it’s loose in the jungle, threatening our facility. We’ve had to evacuate all personnel from the island for their own safety.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' How am I going in?
:'''Mirage:''' The Omnidroid’s defenses necessitate an airdrop from 5,000 feet. Its cloaking devices make it difficult to track. Although we’re pretty sure it’s on the southern half of the island. One more thing. Obviously, it represents a significant investment.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' You want me to shut it down without completely destroying it.
:'''Mirage:''' You '''''are''''' Mr. Incredible.
:''[Bob is on an advanced seat, he puts his belt on, and the seat shifts into a bed, as it is about to enter a shuttle. However, being out of shape is causing a problem to get him into the shuttle. The soldier then increases the seat power and it successfully gets Mr. Incredible in the shuttle.]''
:'''Mirage:''' I’ve got to warn you, it’s a learning robot. Every moment you spend fighting it only increases its knowledge of how to beat you.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Shut it down. Do it quickly. Don’t destroy it.
:'''Mirage:''' And '''''don’t die.'''''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Great. Thanks.
:''[The shuttle ejects. It rockets down the island. After stopping, it propels with two blades. After a while, it lands. Mr. Incredible tries to get out, but his belly won't let him out. He goes back in and punches the shuttle in half. He flexes and gets ready.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Showtime.
:''[He explores the jungle, prepares to find the Omnidroid.]''
:''[He sees a blade mark on a tree and a cross on the grass. Suddenly, the Omnidroid surprises him from behind, as it tries to impale him unsuccessfully. It slashes a 3rd time, only against a mark on Mr. Incredible's arm. Mr. Incredible leaps over the robot and throws a punch that sends it flying to a tree.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' ''[gruntingly]'' Yeah!
:''[The Omnidroid gets up, and the real fight begins.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Uh-oh.
:''[The Omnidroid charges at him, as he leaps over. The robot unfortunately calculated his leaping arc, and that allowed it to swat him mid-air, slamming Mr. Incredible into another tree that toppled onto the Omnidroid. But the robot rolled out of its way, and reformed. The robot curled up again to crush him, only for Mr. Incredible to dodge it, as it knocks down some trees before charging at him quickly. Mr. Incredible sprints his way off, but he almost gets crushed by the robot as he jumps over a cliff, slides on it, and lands. The Omnidroid arrives at a similar pace, as it receives a boulder from our hero. The Omnidroid does the same 3 times, the latter hitting Mr. Incredible. It almost impales him unsuccessfully. Its claw is lodged in the cliff, as the hero runs for safety. The Omnidroid pulls its limb out of the cliff and leaps high into the air, intent on crushing Mr. Incredible, who leapt out of the way and landed in the lava fields. The Omnidroid lands and makes an attempt to push Mr. Incredible into the lava as he tried to push back. After a few seconds however, he lets out a scream while using his maximum strength and jerk-pulls the robot aside into the lava.]''
:''[Bob laughs in what he thought was his victory, but after trying to spin, his spine cracks.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' AH! Ow, ow, ow! OH, MY BACK!
:''[The Omnidroid suddenly bursts out of the lava through a piece of the stone platform, making it crack. It proceeds to spin its claws, as Mr. Incredible leaps on a chunk of rock. But then the Omnidroid grabs him by his feet with one of its claws and slams him to the ground before grabbing his arms with another. It begins to pull him apart.... until it stops when it accidentally fixes his back.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Oh....Hahaha!
:''[He then jack-knifes, ripping the claw off one of its arms. He runs under the robot, as it uses its lower sensor cluster. Just as it spots its target, he rips it off, and climbs inside the robot, as it unintentionally starts damaging itself. After a while, it stops, weakened. Mr. Incredible punches off its upper sensor cluster, as it whistles while <nowiki>''</nowiki>riding<nowiki>''</nowiki> the robot. The robot tries to pull him out, but it accidentally tears out its CPU. Mr. Incredible jumps out of the robot and casually walks away, as the Omnidroid motionlessly falls down.]''
:''[A mecha-macaw observed everything, as it zooms to the screen.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' ''[first words; silhouetted, to Mirage]'' Surprising. We must bring him back. Sound the all-clear, and…invite him to dinner.

:''[Mr. Incredible is in a pod, inside the volcano's magma flows. He waits for Mirage in a huge dining room, while peeking to see who the mysterious man was.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' ''[silhouetted]'' Most important, keep things light. Praise him. Make him feel like we appreciate his abilities.
:''[He hides back and pretends to have waited long enough.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Am I overdressed?
:'''Mirage:''' Actually, you look rather dashing.
:''[They head to the dining table and sit.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I take it our host is...
:'''Mirage:''' Oh, I’m sorry. He won’t be dining with us. He hopes you’ll understand.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Of course. I do usually make it a point to know who I’m working for.
:'''Mirage:''' He prefers a certain amount of anonymity. Surely, you of all people understand that.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I was just wondering, of all the places to settle down, why live...
:'''Mirage''': In a volcano? He’s attracted to power. So am I. It’s a weakness we share.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Seems a bit unstable.
:'''Mirage:''' I prefer to think of it as misunderstood.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible)''' ''[chuckling]:'' Aren’t we all?
:'''Mirage:''' Volcanic soil is among the most fertile on Earth. Everything at the table was grown right here. How does it compare?

He buys a new snazzy sports car for himself, and a new car for Helen. After he says goodbye to Helen several mornings, clearly pretending to go off to the job he no longer holds at Insuricare, we see how he's actually spending his days; dropping weight and getting in shape.

:'''Edna Mode:''' Milan, darling. Milan. Supermodels. Ha! Nothing super about them. Spoiled, stupid, little stick figures with poofy lips who think only about themselves. Feh! I used to design for gods.... but perhaps you come with a challenge, eh? I was surprised to get your call.

:'''Edna Mode:''' '''''You can't!''''' It’s impossible! I’m far too busy. So ask me now, before I again become sane....
:'''Bob:''' Wait....you want... to make me... a suit?
:'''Edna Mode:''' You push too hard, darling! But I accept. It will be bold. Dramatic!

Suddenly the waterfall parts, the water separating like an enormously long chiffon curtain, revealing the intricately designed architecture hidden underneath.

:''[Bob turns to run, but the Omnidroid is fast. It grabs him and flings him into the outside air. Bob sails to the edge of the jungle, landing with a thud. Before he can react, the robot has him again and slams him into the ground. A voice comes over a loudspeaker.]''

A large, ultra-sophisticated work area, dedicated to the design, fabrication, and testing of superhero suits. E crosses to a large, raised platform mounted to a track running parallel to a glassed-in chamber, and sits in one of the two chairs facing it. Between the chairs is a small table with a fresh pot of coffee and assorted cookies. E motions Helen to join her]''
:'''Edna Mode:''' Come. Sit. Cream and sugar?

:'''Helen:''' Thanks.
:'''Edna Mode:''' I started with the baby.
:'''Helen:''' '''''Started?'''''
:'''Edna Mode:''' Shh! Darling! Shh! ''[Inside the chamber, a panel opens. A small, featureless baby mannequin in a tiny red suit (sporting the same "i" insignia as Bob's) mounted to a post emerges, tracking slowly from one end of the chamber to the other.]'' I cut it a little roomy for the free movement. The fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin ''[Helen jumps back as E continues talking.

''[machine guns train on the suit and empty rounds into it without causing any damage]'' And machine washable, darling. That’s a new feature.
:'''Helen:''' What '''''on Earth''''' do you think the baby will be doing??
:'''Edna Mode:''' Well, I’m sure I '''''don’t know''''', darling. Luck favors the prepared. I didn’t know the baby’s powers, so I covered the basics.
:'''Helen:''' Jack-Jack doesn’t have any powers.
:'''Edna Mode:''' No? Well, he’ll look fabulous anyway.

Virtually indestructible... ''[two missiles fire at the suit, but the suit sustains no damage]'' yet it breathes like Egyptian cotton. As an extra feature, each suit contains a homing device, giving you the precise global location of the wearer at the touch of a button. ''[hands Helen one, showing the tracking location of one of the suits, specifically Bob's]'' Well, darling? What do you think?
:'''Helen:''' What do I think? '''''Bob''''' is retired! '''''I’m''''' retired! Our family is underground. You helped my husband resume secret hero work behind my back?!

The palm bends, slowing Bob's drop before he expertly releases it and drops into another palm directly below it. Bob leaps onto the roof of the pod, quickly dispatching the guards inside, tossing them into the ocean. Bob seats himself at the controls, as the pod races toward Syndrome's base and a security checkpoint. Two guards look up as they hear the monopod approach.

He knows there is a secret passage behind it. He picks up a large stone sculpture in the shape of a Moai head and readies to run into the lava fall. One... two... thr— Bob is startled by a flash of light behind the fall; the passage is opening. He loses his balance, struggling to set the massive sculpture back into place before Mirage enters. Bob rushes into the closing passage. Jumps clear just as passage closes. A series of parallel floor lights click on. Bob follows them to an elaborate chair in the center of the room, lit from above.

You will show him you remember that '''''he''''' is Mr. Incredible, and you will '''''remind him''''' who '''''you are!''''' Well, you know where he is. Go, confront the problem, fight, '''WIN!''' ''[there's no pauses]'' And call me when you get back, darling, I enjoy our visits.

:'''Violet:''' Yeah. But why am I in charge again?
:'''Helen:''' Nothing. Just a little trouble with Daddy.
:'''Violet:''' You mean Dad’s '''''in trouble''''', or Dad '''''is the trouble'''''?
:'''Helen:''' I mean either he’s '''''in trouble''''', or he’s '''''going to be'''''.

:'''Helen:''' Hey, Snug. Thanks for getting back. I know this is short notice, but I was hoping that I could get you to...

:'''Helen:''' Just a second. ''[to Dash]'' Take that off before somebody sees you.

:'''Dash:''' ''[snags one of the suits]'' Yikes!
:'''Helen:''' Dash!

:'''Helen:''' ''[Shoving both kids out of the bedroom]'' '''You’re not coming! And I’ve gotta pack!'''

:'''Violet:''' ''[as she materializes]'' It’s not my fault! Dash started it! He could have ran away, and I knew I’d get blamed for it--
:'''Dash:''' That’s not true!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Dash?!
:'''Violet and Dash:''' ...and I thought he'd try to sneak on the plane so I came here and you closed the doors before I could find him and then you took off '''''and it's not my fault!'''''

:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Wait a minute, wait a minute. You left Jack-Jack '''''alone?!'''''
:'''Violet and Dash:''' Yes, mom, I’m completely stupid...of course we got a sitter! Do you think I’m totally irresponsible? Thanks a lot! / No, we got someone, Mom. Someone great. We wouldn’t do that.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' All right! Well, who’d ya get?
:''[cut to Casa de Parr, where Kari is on the phone and Jack-Jack is in his hi-chair]''
:'''Kari:''' You don’t have to worry about one single thing, Mrs. Parr. I’ve got this baby-sitting thing wired. I’ve taken courses and learned CPR and I got excellent marks and certificates...
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Kari.
:'''Kari:''' I also brought Mozart to play while he sleeps to make him smarter because leading experts say Mozart makes babies smarter.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' '''''Kari...'''''
:'''Kari:''' And the beauty part is that the babies don’t even have to listen ‘cause they’re asleep! You know, I wish my parents played Mozart when I slept because half the time, I don’t even know what the heck anyone’s talking about.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Kari, I really don’t feel comfortable with this. I’ll pay you for your trouble, but I’d really rather call a service.

:'''Syndrome:''' ''Or'' '''''what'''?''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I’ll '''crush''' her.
:'''Syndrome:''' Ooh, that sounds a little dark for you. Nah, go ahead.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' ''[as Mirage gasps and he presses her harder]'' ''It’ll be easy''...'''''like breaking a toothpick!'''''
:'''Syndrome:''' ''[chuckles]'' '''Show me.'''
:''[As Syndrome amusedly waits, Bob slowly loses his will. Then, he sighs...]''
:''[...and releases Mirage, as she falls to the floor and looks shocked to Syndrome.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' I knew you couldn’t do it, even when you have nothing to lose. You’re ''weak!''
:''[He and Mirage sullenly head out.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' And I’ve outgrown you.
:''[As Mirage looks to Bob one more time with a worried expression, she leaves with Syndrome as Bob starts crying, thinking that he lost his family.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Those were short-range missiles. Land-based. That way is our best bet.
:'''Dash''': You wanna go '''''toward''''' the people that tried to kill us?
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' If it means land, yes.
:'''Violet:''' Do you expect us to swim there?

:'''Violet:''' If you haven’t noticed, Mom, we’re not doin' so hot either.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' I’m going to look for him. And that means you’re in charge until I get back, Violet.
:'''Dash:''' What?!
:'''Violet:''' '''''You heard her.'''''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Put these on. ''[Gives them masks]'' Your identity is your most valuable possession. Protect it. And if anything goes wrong, use your powers.
:'''Violet:''' But you said never to use...
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' I KNOW WHAT I SAID! ''[calms down and sighs]'' Remember the bad guys on those shows you used to watch on Saturday mornings? Well, these guys are not like those guys. They won’t exercise restraint because you’re children. They will kill you if they get the chance. Do not give them that chance.
:'''Violet:''' Mom?
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Vi, I’m counting on you.
:'''Violet:''' There’s something I...
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' I’m counting on you. Be strong. Dash, if anything goes wrong, I want you to run as fast as you can.
:'''Dash:''' As fast as I can?
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' As fast as you can. Stay hidden. Keep each other safe. I’ll be back by morning.
:'''Violet:''' Mom! Mom, what happened on the plane. I’m sorry. ''[stammering]'' I wanted to help. I mean, when you asked me to... I’m sorry.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Shh. It isn’t your fault. It wasn’t fair for me to suddenly ask so much of you. But things are different now. And doubt is a luxury we can’t afford anymore, sweetie. You have more power than you realize. Don’t think. And don’t worry. If the time comes, you’ll know what to do. It’s in your blood.

:'''Syndrome:''' What?
:'''Mirage:''' Valuing life is not weakness.
:''[Syndrome crosses to her, casually dismissive.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' Oh, hey. Look, look... if you’re talking about what happened in the containment unit, I had everything under control.
:'''Mirage:''' And disregarding it is ''not'' strength.

:'''Syndrome:''' I called his bluff, sweetheart, that’s all. I knew he wouldn’t have it in him to actually...

:''[Helen enters a clearing and looks up. A monorail track soars high above the jungle floor. A monopod is coming. Helen throws her hands high, stretching them up to the pod passing overhead. It yanks her offscreen. Moving through the trees — Helen hangs suspended beneath the pod on long arms, alternating hands to swing around the support columns. Gaining momentum with each swing, she throws her body above the roof of the pod, landing expertly on top.]''
:ON TOP OF THE POD
:''[Helen squints into the rushing wind, sees the track slicing through the dense jungle canopy and leading directly into the base of the towering volcano.

:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' A rocket?
:''[Two armed guards march past. Unseen above them, Helen is stretched thin and hiding between a cluster of pipes which run down the center of the corridor. She watches as the guards exit through a sliding door. She drops like a liquid cat to the floor and begins to move down the corridor. As Helen passes a metal door, she catches sight of her reflection in its shiny surface. She stops, and frowns. It's been a while since her last supersuit; her butt is a bit bigger than she remembered. She wonders if she should lose a few — when the whoosh of a door surprises her. A guard comes through the door at the far end of the hall. As he enters another junction, we see that Helen has contorted herself, arching perfectly around the door frame. The guard doesn't see her. He slides a card key through a reader to enter a restricted corridor. The doors whoosh open. Directly behind him, Helen silently re-forms and begins to back through the doorway when the doors behind her slide shut — trapping her leg. She winces, tries in vain to pull it free. It's stuck.

:'''Guard:''' What the—?! They’re supers!
:''[Violet disappears]''
:'''Guard #2''': Get the boy! ''[guards take off after Dash on Velocipods]'' Show yourself!
:''[Dash blasts through the foliage on foot, unbelievably fast, a manned Velocipod hot on his tail. But the terrain is dense, uneven and difficult, and Dash is forced to adhere to the thin trail winding through the growth. A swarm of flies fusses in the air. Suddenly Dash bursts into view; rocketing right through the swarm! Bugs splatter Dash's face like an interstate windshield]''
:'''Dash:''' AGGCCHH!!!
:''[Dash stumbles, careens end over end through the undergrowth like an [[w:Indianapolis 500|Indy 500]] car crash, and finally tumbles to a stop. Unharmed, but thoroughly repulsed, Dash wipes his bug-spattered face and teeth.]''
:'''Dash''': Achpppt!! PtTHWAAAGH! PTHPT!
:''[A Velocipod bursts out of the brush after him and he takes off, tearing through the jungle. Running fast, Dash grabs a long vine — which sends him out in a wide arc that surprises the trailing guard. He shoots past Dash and roars off into the undergrowth. Dash releases the vine, tumbling roughly to his feet, and runs. A Velocipod bursts out of the brush and is on top of him. Impossibly, Dash accelerates, staying just ahead of it. He sees another vine, grabs it and is propelled upwards. Dash explodes out of the canopy, flailing, out of control. He looks down and sees — the treetops suddenly drop away. Dash is falling off a cliff, screaming his ten-year-old lungs out as he lands on a Velocipod! Fleetingly astonished by his good luck, Dash looks up as the startled guard whirls around to face him. The guard swings. Dash ducks and reluctantly throws a punch at the guard's face. It lands! Thrilled that his raw speed renders the guard powerless to dodge or return his punches, Dash laughs and, growing more confident with each punch, socks the guard again and again, blissfully unaware that no one is driving. Dash looks up. His jaw drops: a rock wall looms ahead! Dash points at it. The guard sees an opening and socks Dash in the face, knocking him off just as — the Velocipod slams into the cliff face, vaporizing in a fireball, killing the guard]''
:'''Guard:''' Hey!
:'''Dash:''' Ha, ha! I’m alive. Yeah!
:''[Dash whooping]''
:''[Dash falls: making desperate, flailing grabs as he hits limb after limb of an enormous tree, finally getting hold of a branch and arresting his descent. He pants, heart racing, and looks down to see — his feet dangling about a yard off the jungle floor. Elated about his survival, Dash drops to the ground and lets out a loud whoop, immediately alerting two guards on Velocipods nearby to his presence. They turn their V-pods after him. With Dash as he bolts again, accelerating to breakneck speed. He smashes through an endless succession of foliage — nearly colliding with tree trunks and rocks and suddenly — a lagoon lies in front of him. Dash reacts: the V-pods are on his tail, he has nowhere to go, so he takes a deep breath and steps on it — and has enough velocity to run across the water! Amazed and exhilarated, Dash blasts across the water's surface, weaving like a speedboat around the large volcanic rocks jutting out of the water. Velocipods open fire... strafing the water as Dash is pursued into a cave. Velocipod #2 pulls up short at the cave entrance and chooses to go around.]''
:'''Dash:''' Uh-oh.
:''[Velocipod #2 is coming straight at him! Dash wheels around, his legs churning the water like an egg beater. He sees V-pod #1 closing fast. He has nowhere to go and, like a deer in headlights, Dash stops — suddenly dropping beneath the water's surface as the Velocipods collide — BOOM!]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I should’ve told you I was fired, I admit it. But I didn’t want you to worry.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' You didn’t want me to worry? And now we’re running for our lives through some godforsaken jungle.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' You keep trying to pick a fight, but I’m still just happy you’re alive.
:''[The remaining guard waits, his machine gun at the ready. Suddenly the dirt moves. The guard fires, strafing the ground just behind a succession of footprints that streak toward the river moments before a splash appears. We see a Violet-shaped distortion as bullet trails furiously slice the surrounding water. Still firing. He stops, unnerved and adrenalized. Tensed and ready, he nervously scans the river.]''
:'''Guard:''' I know you’re there, Little Miss Disappear. You can’t hide from me.
:''[Training his gun where he last saw Violet, the guard grabs a handful of dirt from the riverbank and throws it into the water. He shoulders his rifle watching the dirt turn into a brown cloud as it travels downstream ...making visible a Violet-shaped pocket]''
:'''Guard:''' ''[Aiming gun]'' There you are.
:''[The guard takes aim and Dash blurs past]''
:'''Dash:''' HEY! ''[knocking the guard's gun barrel skyward as it fires. The guard swings around — strafing the ground at Dash's heels as he plunges back into the jungle. A splash explodes from the river as invisible Violet makes a break for it. The guard sees this and swings the gun toward her as — Dash blasts out of the jungle and knocks the Guard's legs out from under him. They tumble and scrap, Dash redeeming his lack of size with lightning-fast punches and faints.]'' Don't touch my sister!
:''[Disoriented, the guard swings and connects — knocking Dash off his feet. He tumbles backward, dazed. The guard shoulders his rifle, leveling it at Dash. Dash looks up; sees he's screwed. The guard grins wickedly and pulls the trigger — Violet suddenly appears in mid-air, diving in front of Dash as she throws a force field around them! A hail of bullets ricochet off the force field.]''
:'''Dash:''' '''''How are you doing that?'''''
:'''Violet:''' I don’t know!
:'''Dash:''' Whatever you do, don’t stop!
:''[as Dash starts to walk within the force field like a gerbil on a wheel. Violet spins ever faster in the sphere's hub as Dash accelerates into a run. The guards empty their clips at the rolling sphere with no effect. It rumbles past them and straight into the jungle.]''
:''[Moving with the rolling force field as it carries Dash and Vi down a steep hillside into the path of two speeding Velocipods who fire at the sphere. It's clipped by one Velocipod-- which then spirals into a rock and explodes.]''
:''[Bob and Helen hear the explosions echo, and stop, worried. That's when they hear the rumble. Before they can get clear, the rolling force field bursts out of the brush]''
:'''Violet:''' Mom! Dad! Hey!
:''[the force field vanishes and the entire family tumbles to the jungle floor.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Kids! You’re all right.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Oh, you’re all right!
:'''Violet:''' We were so worried about you!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I thought I’d never see you again.
:''[There is a frantic, joyful exchange of hugs and kisses, unfortunately cut short when — Velocipods explode out of the foliage! The Incredibles instantly jump to their feet: Helen throws a stretched scissor kick which catches a guard in the chest, knocking him out of his V-pod. Bob chops a second passing Velocipod — it plows straight into the soft jungle floor. Before its pilot can react — Helen's arm is coiled around him. She yanks him from the vehicle, whiplashing him into another guard, knocking them both out cold. Bob grabs the crashed V-pod and Frisbees it into a V-pod from the trees - boom! And it's over. Bob and Helen had forgotten how good they were. They exchange lustful glances.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible) & Helen (Elastigirl):''' Aww, I love you.
:'''Dash:''' Wow.
:'''Violet:''' Whoa.
:''[Suddenly the jungle is filled with guards and V-pods. And just as quickly the Incredibles turn as one against them, a hurricane blur of superpowers, suddenly brought to a crashing halt — as ZPE rays strike the Incredibles, suspending them all, motionless, in mid-air, in a clearing.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' <big><big><big>'''''WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! HEY, TIME OUT!'''''</big></big></big> ''[Syndrome keeps his wrists crossed; one beam trained on Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl; the other on Dash and Violet.]'' What have we here? Matching uniforms?

Whoa... and got... ''[he stops, sees the kids]'' And got '''biz-zay'''! It's a whole family of Supers! Looks like I've hit the jackpot! Oh, this is just too good!

:''[Back in Syndrome's lair, on a giant screen, network news footage of a crowd gathered around a smoldering hulk resting at the base of a large building. The TV channel changes. Another reporter is covering the same story. Camera widens: Syndrome is delightedly channel surfing with a remote control of his own invention.]''
:'''News reporter on TV:''' The ship’s unique design suggests...
:'''News reporter on TV:''' There were no fatalities...
:''[The Incredibles are now side by side in the containment unit]''
:'''Syndrome:''' Huh? Huh!? Oh, come on! You gotta admit, this is cool! Just like a movie! The robot will emerge dramatically, do some damage. Throngs of screaming people! And just when all hope is lost, Syndrome will save the day! I’ll be a bigger hero than you ever were!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' You mean, you killed off real heroes so that you could....<big><big>'''''PRETEND TO BE ONE?'''''</big></big>
:'''Syndrome:''' Oh, I’m real. Real enough to defeat you! And I did it without your precious gifts, your oh-so-special powers. I’ll give them heroics.

And when everyone’s super... no one will be. ''[evil laughter, leaves room]''
:''[Back in Municiberg, the military are fighting a losing battle with the Omnidroid. Soldiers shouting]''
:'''Soldier:''' Fire at will!
:''[The Omnidroid starts destroying the military troops with ease.]''
:'''Reporter:''' It’s completely overwhelming the tanks.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I’m sorry. This is my fault. I’ve been a lousy father. Blind to what I have. So obsessed with being undervalued that I undervalued all of you.
:'''Dash:''' Um...dad?
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Shh. Don’t interrupt.
:''[Violet uses her force field to nullify the zero-point energy's effects and float out of the suspension system. She walks towards the keyboard.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' So caught up in the past that I.....You are my greatest adventure. And I almost missed it. I swear, I’m gonna get us out of this safely if I...
:'''Violet:''' Well, I think Dad has made some excellent progress today, but I think it’s time we wind down now.
:''[She hits the control panel, releasing the family]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' We need to get back to the mainland.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' I saw an aircraft hangar on my way in. Straight ahead, I think.
:''[Bob's hands pry open the heavy metal doors, crunching them like foil. The Incredibles enter the huge hangar]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Where are all the guards?
:''[The guards are all holed up in a command vehicle, watching the Omnidroid reports on TV.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' ''[signaling the others to move inside the command vehicle]'' Go, go!
:''[The guards watch live coverage of the Omnidroid attack on a video monitor. Champagne is popped: the cork is unexpectedly caught by someone standing in the doorway — Mr. Incredible]''
:'''Guard:''' Hey, look. Hey! Every time they run, you take a shot.
:'''Guard 2:''' Yeah, okay.
:''[The vehicle rocks as Bob quickly takes out the guards within. In moments Bob emerges, whistles to his family that the coast is clear.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' This is the right hangar, but I don’t see any jets.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' A jet’s not fast enough.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' What’s faster than a jet?
:'''Dash:''' Hey, how about a rocket?
:''[The other Incredibles follow Dash's finger to an enormous shield-shaped rocket, identical to the one launched earlier — save for a perfect circular hole in the center.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Great! I can’t fly a rocket.
:'''Violet:''' You don’t have to. Use the coordinates from the last launch.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Ah, wait. I bet Syndrome’s changed the password by now. How do I get into the computer?

:''[The stereo plays soft jazz as Lucius (aka Frozone) dresses for dinner. He slaps some aftershave on his face, checking his look in the mirror. A low series of booms grows louder, causing him to look up to see the Omnidroid outside his apartment wreaking havoc on Municiberg; a military chopper strafing it with machine-gun fire. He immediately goes through his dresser drawers.]''

:''[Cut back to the Omnidroid destroying the city. The driver of a gasoline tanker truck screeches to a halt, his eyes bugging out at the rampaging Omnidroid]''
:'''Man:''' RUN!
:''[He jumps from the truck just as the Omnidroid seizes the tanker in a giant claw and flings it down the street. A young mother sees it arcing toward her baby carriage.]''
:'''Woman:''' MY BABY!

:'''Man:''' Fironic?
:'''Woman:''' No, Fironic has a different outfit!
:'''Syndrome:''' No, no, I’m a new superhero! I’m SYNDROME!
:''[Syndrome carelessly flings the tanker truck behind him with a flourish. It explodes, frightening the crowd. The Omnidroid moves towards him.]'' All right, stand back. ''[The Omnidroid reaches a massive claw toward Syndrome, who presses a series of buttons on his power cuff. The robot freezes suddenly, idling. Syndrome smiles, pressing another series of buttons on his remote.]'' Someone needs to teach this hunk of metal a few manners. ''[Putting on a good show, Syndrome flies around the idling bot, and delivers a punch to one of its leg sockets.]''
:'''OMNIDROID'S P.O.V.''': Technical readouts spray across its viewscreen as it confirms Syndrome's instructions: RESTRAIN BATTLE MODE. DETACH ARM AT SIGNAL.
:'''Syndrome:''' Ha, ha!
:''[On cue, one of the Omnidroid's limbs suddenly falls out of its socket, thudding uselessly to the ground. As Syndrome revels in the cheers of the crowd, we push in on the Omnidroid. It's watching Syndrome. And thinking — OMNIDROID'S P.O.V.: Technical readouts spray across its viewscreen as it analyzes: CONTROL STOLEN BY EXTERNAL SIGNAL.]''
;LOCATE SOURCE: EXTERNAL SIGNAL
:Columns of numbers are crunched. The Omnidroid's lens-eye zooms in on the control bands around Syndrome's wrist — SIGNAL SOURCE: REMOTE CONTROL — and comes to a logical conclusion: OVERRIDE EXTERNAL CONTROL
:DESTROY REMOTE CONTROL
:''[The Omnidroid fires a precise laser shot, blasting the remote right off Syndrome's wrist. It clatters to the street. Syndrome whirls around in horror as the bot goes after him. He flies out of control, and he crashes onto a building. He lands, tries to get up and falls unconscious soon after.]''
:''[Frozone appears on the scene. High above the earth — another rocket, identical to the first one, descends from the clouds. Again, it separates into quarters which fall away, revealing the landing craft inside — and only then do we notice what's different about it: in the center of the large, perfectly round hole designed to house the Omnidroid is — the command vehicle, precariously held in place by a very stretched, very stressed Helen. Inside the command vehicle Bob is at the wheel, Vi and Dash are seated at a small table in the back.]''
:'''Dash:''' ''[exasperated]'' Are we nearly there yet?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' We'll get there when we get there!

:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' How you doing, honey?
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Do I have to answer?!
:''[The giant wing is descending, gliding closer to the water, as the city looms closer directly ahead.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Kids, strap yourselves down like I told you!
:''[Violet and Dash move to the seats at the monitor panels, belting themselves in. Bob opens his window, yells up to Helen]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Here we go, honey! Ready, Violet? ''[Violet holds a hand over a giant, jerry-rigged release switch.]'' Ready? Now! ''[Violet slams the switch. The explosive bolts fire, separating the wing. Helen let's go with a pained shout, swings inside through the window. Bob steps on the gas. The command vehicle wheels spin. Bob tenses as he watches the speedometer move past 110, 120, 130.]'' This is gonna be rough! ''[The command vehicle sails over an overpass, clipping a light pole, and crashes to the pavement in a shower of sparks. It flies down the street at 200 MPH. Fighting to keep control, Bob hits the brakes. Smoke erupts from the wheel wells.]'' The robot’s in the financial district. Which exit do I take?
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Traction Avenue.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' That'll take me downtown. I take 7th, don't I?
:''[Bob cranks the wheel and cuts across several lanes toward the Seventh Street exit.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Don’t take 7th!
:''[Bob aborts the exit, swerving hard to avoid a collision.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Great, we missed it!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' You asked me how to get there, and I told you. Exit at Traction!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' That’ll take me downtown!

:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' '''''<big>YOU'RE GONNA MISS IT!!!!</big>'''''
:''[The command vehicle takes a violent swerve across six lanes, barely making the off-ramp! Sparks spray as the vehicle slams into the guardrail. The command vehicle careens off the railing and into traffic, narrowly missing a semi. Horns blare. Bob's teeth clench as he fights to slow the vehicle down. He stomps both feet on the brakes. Its tires smoking, the command vehicle pulls sideways and loses it, tumbling down the center of the street, spraying metal pieces in its wake. It rolls into an open parking space, and lands — miraculously upright, stripped like an ear of eaten corn. A more perfect parallel park couldn't have been executed. Bob and Helen sit up woozily. Bob turns to Dash and Violet.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Is everybody okay back there?
:''[Violet and Dash pull themselves upright. They look as if they've emerged from an industrial tumble dryer]''
:'''Violet:''' Super-duper, Dad!
:'''Dash:''' ''[laughing]'' Let’s do that again.
:''[The Omnidroid comes into view through the cracked windshield. Bob releases his seat belt, turns to Helen.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Wait here and stay hidden. I’m going in.
:''[Bob grimly starts after the Omnidroid. Helen stretches an arm out and grabs his shoulder, spinning him around.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' While what? I watch helplessly from the sidelines? I don’t think so.

:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Then what? What is it?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I’m not...
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Not what?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I’m not strong enough.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Strong enough. And this will make you stronger?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Yes. No!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' That’s what this is? Some sort of workout!?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' <big><big><big>'''''I CAN'T LOSE YOU AGAIN!'''''</big></big></big> ''[Helen is stunned. She stares at Bob, whose head is bowed like a child]'' I can’t. Not again. I’m not... strong enough.

:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' If we work together, you won’t have to be.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I don’t know what’ll happen.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Hey. We’re superheroes. What can happen?
:''[Violet screams. She and Dash jump clear just as the command vehicle is crushed by the Omnidroid's metal foot. The Incredibles run. Another Omnidroid foot smashes into the street, blocking the kids' way. Bob and Helen stop, whirling]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Vi, Dash— NO!
:''[The Omnidroid is now fully focused on the kids, pounding Violet's force field relentlessly with its giant claws. The shield holds. The Omnidroid draws itself up and drops — the entirety of its massive bulk slams into the force field knocking Vi unconscious. Her force field flickers out]''
:'''Dash:''' Violet?
:''[Again, the Omnidroid draws itself up to deliver the crushing blow. Dash cringes and the bot drops — and hits an obstacle halfway down. Dash looks up]''
:'''Dash:''' Dad!
:''[Bob is underneath the bot, on his back, his arms and legs straining under the weight of it.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Go, go!
:''[Violet comes to and is instantly yanked out from under the bot and into Helen's arms.]''
:'''Violet:''' I’m okay, mom. Really.
:''[Dash follows them around the corner. Straining, Bob lifts the Omnidroid enough to get his feet underneath him. The bot snatches Bob out from underneath and flings him at a building across the street. The windows of the nearby building shatter as Bob's body tumbles across the floor, scattering desks and chairs. Helen rounds a corner out of the Omnidroid's view and carefully sets Violet down. She looks at Dash and Vi.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Stay here, okay?
:''[Helen turns away, charging back toward the robot. Vi and Dash watch their fearless mother in amazement.]''
:''[as the Omnidroid pulls itself up the building to look for Bob. Bob charges the Omnidroid, hitting it with enough force to dislodge it from the building. It falls, crashing into the street with an earth-shattering boom. Bob falls with it but rolls and lands on his feet. The familiar sound of cracking ice causes Bob to look up]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Frozone! Yeah!
:''[A narrow sheet of ice streaks across the pavement and Frozone skates past, joining the fight. Following Frozone — He moves to the Omnidroid, expertly icing its joints as it tries to get up. The Omnidroid whines as its motors strain against the ice. Further down the street, Helen rushes up to Bob]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Bob!
:''[Just then Frozone sails into frame and crashes into the roof of a parked car. Bob turns angrily toward the Omnidroid and is immediately smacked by it. Bob flies into the side of a building and tumbles to the street. Frozone and Helen distract the Omnidroid, heckling it and spreading out. It goes after them like an enraged beast. Dazed, Bob looks up and sees a strange device on the ground in front of him. He examines it, his eyes widening when he realizes what it is. He holds it up, yelling excitedly to the others]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Hey! Syndrome’s remote!
:''[The Omnidroid comes down on Bob like a ton of bricks, lifting him high above the ground. Miraculously, Bob has held on to the remote, and he quickly stabs at the buttons, hoping to get lucky. With a boom, one of the bot's limbs releases, sending it — and Bob — crashing to the ground]''
:''[Around the corner, Violet sees this. She turns to Dash]''
:'''Violet:''' The remote controls the robot!
:''[The Omnidroid knows this too, and it fires laser blasts at Bob to try to stop Bob from using the remote. Bob jumps clear, then hears Dash from down the street.]''
:'''Dash:''' Hey, Dad! Throw it, throw it!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Go long!
:''[Bob gives the remote a monster throw, flinging it high into the air and across the river. Dash pivots and takes off after it. The Omnidroid sees Dash and starts firing after him. With Dash as he hits the water, jetting across the water's surface as the Omnidroid fires away. The water explodes around Dash, but he concentrates on the remote, following it into his hands like an NFL receiver.]''
:'''Dash:''' Got it!
:''[Dash crosses the river and hits the streets on the other side, seemingly home free. But the Omnidroid is still firing, and it hits some cars in Dash's path, igniting their gas tanks. Suddenly Dash is surrounded by a wall of flames! Bob runs toward Helen, who is closer to the Omnidroid.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Honey, take out its guns!
:''[Helen hears him. She grabs a heavy manhole cover winding her elastic arm around a light pole to fling it — like an arrow — at the Omnidroid's gun. Bullseye. What follows amounts to a game of hot potato between the Supers and the Omnidroid over the remote: Frozone saves Dash from the circle of burning cars. Omnidroid sees this and goes after them. With Dash on his back, Frozone races across the river, freezing it in front of him as he goes.]''
:'''Frozone:''' Dash! Gotcha!
:''[Omnidroid jumps — almost on top of them, creating a massive wave and throwing Dash and Frozone high into the air. Thinking fast, Frozone turns the wave into a wall of snow. It crashes over the streets, cushioning their fall. The remote clatters to the ground. Bob sees it and runs for it. The Omnidroid sees Bob and fires a claw — catching Bob just as he was reaching for the remote. The claw — with Bob inside — tumbles end over end down the street. With Bob out of the way, the Omnidroid heads for the remote. Frozone ices the Omnidroid's path, causing its metal feet to slip and slide. Helen runs ahead of the Omnidroid, stretching herself into a tripwire across the stumbling Omnidroid's path. It crashes to the street. The Omnidroid looks up. The remote lies on the street just in front of it, easily within its grasp. The Omnidroid reaches out with a claw to destroy the remote. The remote magically jumps clear. The Omnidroid tries again, and again the remote darts away. Riled now, it rears up and stabs wildly at the remote with all of its arms. We hear Violet shriek, as the remote repeatedly eludes the Omnidroid's grasp: finally tangling its legs so badly that it topples over. Violet reappears, running back to rejoin the group in the middle of the street.]''
:'''Frozone''': Violet!
:'''Violet:''' Mom, I’ve got it! I’ve got the remote!
:'''Frozone:''' '''''A remote? A remote that controls what?'''''
:''[Violet begins to fiddle with the remote's click-wheel, pressing its buttons to no effect. The Omnidroid has gotten to its feet and lunges toward them. Violet shrieks and presses the button one last time. Rockets fire underneath the Omnidroid's clawed feet, lifting the enormous machine into the air.]''
:'''Frozone:''' THE ROBOT?!?'
:''[Everyone ducks as the Omnidroid rockets overhead, crashing into a building at the end of the street. Like a woozy prizefighter, the Omnidroid gets back on its feet.]''
:'''Dash:''' It's coming back!
:''[Dash snatches the remote from Violet, aims it at the Omnidroid, spins the click-wheel and presses a button. Behind Dash (and unseen by all) the claws on the Omnidroid's detached arm spring open — flinging Bob into the air.]''
:'''Dash:''' That wasn't right.
:'''Violet:''' ''[snatching remote back]'' Give me that!
:DOWN THE STREET - WITH BOB
:''[He climbs to his feet, muttering to himself.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' We can’t stop it. The only thing hard enough to penetrate it is... ''[A thought hits him. Remembering the first fight he had with the Omnidroid in the jungle, lava and volcano, he turns, staring at the metal claw]'' itself.
:'''Dash:''' It's getting closer.
:'''Violet:''' It doesn't work!
:''[Helen has the remote now and is trying to figure it out. The Omnidroid has them all in its sights and is lumbering toward them. The kids are starting to panic.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' No, this'll work! This'll work! Lucius, try to buy us some time!
:'''Frozone:''' Try the one next to it.
:''[Lucius takes off, throwing ice and skating down the street toward the approaching Omnidroid. He jumps off an ice ramp, his skates converting into a circular ski-disc in mid-air. He lands, throwing a massive ice wall in front of the Omnidroid.]''
:''[With Bob as he closes the claw into a massive arrowhead and starts charging down the street. With Helen and the kids — Helen dials the click-wheel on the remote and presses one of the buttons. The back of the claw suddenly fires a rocket engine. Bob veers crazily, trying to control it. Helen presses the button again. Now close to the group, Bob's claw rocket switches off. Bob gets an idea]''
:''[Helen presses a button. The claw blades start to spin.]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Honey! ''[Frozone is putting up an ice wall to delay the Omnidroid's advancement toward them]'' Wait a minute. <big><big><big>'''''PRESS THAT BUTTON AGAIN!! NO, THE OTHER ONE!! T-THE FIRST ONE!'''''</big></big></big>
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' First button! Got it!
:''[The Omnidroid has broken through the first ice wall and pounding away at a second one. Though Frozone's giving it all he's got, the Omnidroid's starting to break through.]''
:''[Helen looks at the remote, gestures at her kids.]''
:'''Dash:''' It’s getting closer!
:'''Frozone:''' Look out!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Get outta here, kids, find a safe spot!
:'''Violet:''' We’re not going anywhere!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' <big>''''PRESS THE BUTTON!''''</big>
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Not yet!
:'''Frozone:''' ''[apprehensively, as the Omnidroid advances toward Bob]'' Helen...?
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' <big><big>'''''WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?'''''</big></big>
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' A closer target! Ya got one shot!
:''[The Omnidroid shatters the ice wall Frozone put up, it's almost on top of them. Elastigirl presses the button. The claw-rocket fires. Mr. Incredible aims it directly at the Omnidroid's metal underbelly—]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' <big>'''''EVERYBODY DUCK!'''''</big>
:''[—and releases it. The giant metal claw roars overhead and drills clean through the Omnidroid's body, coming out the other side embedded in the CPU. For a long moment nothing happens. Then the gargantuan machine keels over and explodes. It's over. The family looks at each other, stunned]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Hey, Zone.
:''[Frozone starts laughing. Mr. Incredible smiles as he looks at his super family. It feels like his best memories... only better. The seemingly empty city begins to come to life, as people emerge from their hiding places, converging in the street. People begin to spontaneously cheer the heroes, welcoming the Supers' return. Syndrome comes to. Looks over the edge to the streets below to find the battle over and the masses cheering, not for him, but for the group of Supers. He darkens]''
:'''Syndrome:''' Huh? NO!
:''[Two elderly gentlemen stand together in the crowd. One nudges the other]''
:'''Frank Thomas''' Hey, did you see that? That's the way to do it. That's old school.
:'''Ollie Johnston:''' Yeah. No school like the old school.
:'''Frank Thomas:''' Yeah!
:''[They drink in the cheers as the adoring crowd gathers around them]''
:'''Frozone:''' ''[chuckles]'' Just like old times.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Just like old times. ''[slaps Frozone on the back, a little too hard]''
:'''Frozone:''' ''[shaking it off]'' Oh! Yeah. Hurt then too.

:''[A long, black limo cruises down the street. Mr. Incredible sits proudly with his family as Rick Dicker debriefs them. Everyone is enjoying the moment, save for Elastigirl, who has already clicked back into "mother mode" and is using the car phone to get messages]''
:'''Rick Dicker:''' We've frozen all of Syndrome's assets. If he even sneezes, we'll be there with a hanky and a pair of handcuffs. The people of this country are indebted to you.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Does this mean we can come out of hiding?
:'''Rick Dicker:''' Let the politicians figure that one out. But I've been asked to assure you we'll take care of everything else. You did good, Bob.
:''[Dash plays with the electric windows as Helen retrieves messages from the car phone. Window up, window down...]''
:'''Kari:''' ''[beeps; over phone]'' Hi, this is Kari. I have a question about Jack-Jack...
:''[...window up, up, down, up.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' ''[to Dash]'' Come on. We're in a limo.
:''[Bob is looking appreciatively at Violet]''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Hey, you're wearing your hair back.
:'''Violet:''' ''[stammering]'' Yeah, I just... yeah.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' It looks good.
:'''Violet:''' ''[blushing]'' Thanks, Dad.
:'''Dash:''' ''[to Bob]'' That was so cool when you threw that car!
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' Not as cool as you running on water.
:'''Dash:''' Hey, Mom, that was sweet when you snagged that bad guy with your arm and kinda whiplashed him into the other guy. It was so sweet!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl)''': Honey, uh, yeah, I'm trying to listen to messages, honey.
:'''Kari:''' ''[beeps; over phone]'' Mrs. Parr, it's me. Jack-Jack is fine, but weird things are happening. Jack-Jack's still fine, but I'm getting really weirded out! When are you coming back?
:'''Dash:''' ...aced those guys that tried to kill us! That was the best vacation ever! ''[flops back on the seat, exhilarated]'' I love our family.
:'''Kari:''' ''[beeps; over phone as Jack-Jack cries]'' I'M NOT FINE, MRS. PARR! PUT THAT DOWN! STOP IT! YOU NEED TO CALL ME! I NEED HELP, MRS. PARR!
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' ''[nudges Bob, shares phone]'' Bob, listen to this.
:''[Helen is listening to the last message as the limo slows to a stop in front of their home]''
:'''Kari:''' ''[over phone as Jack-Jack is still crying]'' I'M CALL THE POLICE OR SOMEONE! ''[calmly]'' Hi, this is Kari. Sorry for freakin' out, but your baby has special needs.
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' "Special needs"?
:'''Kari:''' Anyway, thanks for sending a replacement sitter.
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Replacement? I didn't call for a replacement.
:''[Bob's eyes widen. He and Helen jump from the car, followed by the kids. They cross the lawn and burst through the front door to reveal — Syndrome who spins, hitting the family with his Zero-point energy ray. Cradling a sleeping Jack-Jack in his arms, he grins.]''
:'''Syndrome:''' Shh....The baby is sleeping. ''[Evil laugh]'' You took away my future. I’m simply returning the favor. Oh, don’t worry, I’ll be a good mentor. Supportive, encouraging. Everything that you weren’t. And in time, who knows, he might make a good sidekick. Ha ha!
:''[Syndrome flings the family into the bookcase. He points his power band toward the roof and blows a huge hole in it, revealing his Manta Jet hovering high above. Syndrome fires his jet-boots and takes off toward the jet.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' '''''He’s getting away, Bob!! <big>WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING NOW!!!!</big>'''''
:''[Jack-Jack awakens to the sight of his family and home receding beneath him. He starts crying, reaching out for them. Syndrome nears the Manta Jet. Jack-Jack's crying turns angry, and he suddenly bursts into flames. Syndrome shrieks. Jack-Jack's fire goes out, revealing that the baby has turned to metal. Syndrome drops with the sudden weight. His jet-boots compensate, but Syndrome is struggling to stay aloft. The baby's flesh reverts to normal, but the baby begins to vibrate fiercely. Syndrome can barely keep hold of him]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Something’s happening. What’s happening??
:''[The vibrating baby begins to redden, transforming abruptly into a mini demon. The Jack-Jack monster throws a headlock around Syndrome, laughing maniacally and starts to rip apart Syndrome's Jet-boots!]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' '''''<big>WE HAVE TO STOP HIM!!!! THROW SOMTHING!!!!</big>'''''
:'''Bob (Mr. Incredible):''' I can’t! I might hit Jack-Jack!
:''[Jack-Jack screeched while attacking Syndrome. He pulled some of Syndrome's hair and kicks his chin.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' ''[realization, softly]'' Throw me.
:''[Jack-Jack rips a valve from Syndrome's jet-boots, which propels him upward, slamming his head into the jet's wing. He loses hold of Jack-Jack, who falls after changing back into his human form and starts crying.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' '''''<big>BOB, THROW ME!!</big>'''''
:''[Helen leaps into Bob's arms, forming into a spear shape. Bob takes aim and flings her toward the falling baby. Helen soars — and grabs Jack-Jack! She quickly blooms into a parachute.]''
:''[Syndrome regains control. He successfully docks with the hovering Manta Jet. He stands at the docking doors, his cape blowing dramatically upwards]''
:'''Syndrome:''' '''''NO!!!''''' This isn't the end of it! I will get your son eventually! I'll get your son! ''[laughs and gasps as he sees Mr. Incredible hurling his car into the air towards the Manta Jet.]'' Oh, no.
:''[Syndrome jumps back as the crafts collide, blowing him off his feet and up over the wing, toward the turbines. Clawing madly to find purchase, he looks over his shoulder in time to see the end of his cape sucked into the intake. Syndrome screams as he's yanked out of frame. Bob, Dash and Violet react as the Manta Jet explodes. Elastigirl cradles Jack-Jack facing upwards, his back toward the ground. He looks at her, giggling and cooing]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' Look at Mommy, honey. Don’t look down. Mommy’s got you. Everything is all right.
:''[But Jack-Jack sees burning wreckage coming toward them and starts to shriek, pointing upwards. Helen turns to see it as wreckage crashes on top of them, destroying the Parr home. Elastigirl and Jack-Jack are saved. Violet and Helen exchange a meaningful look.]''
:'''Helen (Elastigirl):''' That’s my girl.
:'''Dash:''' Does this mean we have to move again?
:''[Everyone chuckles at this. The smoke begins to clear, revealing a lone witness to this cataclysmic event — Rusty, whose eyes are as big as dinner plates.]''
:'''Rusty:''' Oh, man. '''''<big><big><big><big>THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!!!!!!!</big></big></big></big>'''''

:''[Parker Stadium - Metroville, 3 MONTHS LATER]''
:''[The stadium parking lot is about half full on a beautiful cloudless day. The sign outside the stadium displays "JUNIOR HIGH TRACK FINALS". Inside the stadium, young runners loosen up at the starting line of the hundred-yard dash. Dash is among them. He waves to the stands. In the stands, Bob, Helen and Jack-Jack wave back. Coming down the steps is none other than Violet's crush, Tony Rydinger. He waves cooly at some friends and heads toward the concession stand. Pausing when he sees Violet and a friend talking nearby. He approaches them.]''

:'''Violet:''' Friday. ''[She sits down with Bob, Helen and Jack-Jack]''
:''[The starter pistol fires, and the runners take off. Dash jogs well behind the pack in a confident, easy trot. In the stands Bob, Helen, and Violet cheer Dash on.]''

:''[Dash hears them and looks toward the stands.]''
:'''Helen''': Run, Dash! Run!
:''[Dash, his eyes still on his family, accelerates a little and quickly moves toward the front of the pack. Dash, clearly confused now, furrows his brows as he again drops back. The family shouts louder]''
:'''Bob:''' Come on, run! Pick up the pace! Move it, move it! Pace it! Slow down just a little bit! Don’t give up! Make it close!
:''[Understanding, Dash accelerates just enough to scare the leader, crossing the finish line inches behind him.]''
:'''Helen:''' Second!
:'''Bob:''' Close second, close second. Yeah! That’s my boy!
:''[The family crosses the parking lot, Dash sitting atop Bob's shoulders, clutching his second-place trophy. Everyone is happy and together]''
:'''Helen:''' Dash, I'm so proud of you.
:'''Dash:''' I didn't know what the heck you wanted me to do.
:''[The ground begins to quake. The Incredibles stop as the low rumble grows louder. On the far side of the lot, cars begin to be thrown into the air, tossed about like toys. A gargantuan drill spirals out of the ground, throwing dirt and chunks of asphalt in all directions. People run screaming as the enormous metallic vehicle crests and crashes to earth. A door opens on top and a hulking figure in dirty overalls emerges atop a rising platform, his ragged voice amplified through a loudspeaker,]''

== Narrator ==
* ''[opening narration]'' This old world is filled with [[wonder]]s, but to me there's no place more wonderful than a farm in springtime, when the sun is just lifting on the skyline. The air is so sweet, and everywhere you look, little [[miracle]]s are happening. Buds swell into blossoms, eggs hatch, young are born. Everything's off to a fresh start, and life is good and busy and brand-new. Around a barnyard, big families are a blessing. The more, the merrier. Root and grunt, push and shove, room for everybody. Well, everybody except the runt. John Arable had been up since daybreak. He'd seen the size of the pig, and he wasn't looking forward to what had to be done.
* ''[closing narration]'' Wilbur never forgot Charlotte. Although he loved her children and grandchildren dearly, none of the new [[spiders]] ever quite took her place in his heart. She was in a class by herself. It's not often that someone comes along who is a true friend, and a good writer. Charlotte was both.
== Wilbur ==
* Then, write this in your webs, when you learn. This hallowed doorway was once the home of Charlotte. She was brilliant, beautiful, and loyal to the end.
== The Goose ==
* ''[after Wilbur asks the Goose if she would like to play with him]'' I'm no flibberty-ibberty-gibbit! I'm staying here and hatching my goslings!
* ''[to Templeton]'' You'll worry alright when [[winter]] comes! If Wilbur is killed, and his trough stands empty, then you'll grow so thin we can look ''right through your stomach'' and see objects on ''the other side!''
== Templeton ==
* The goose was right! This fair is a rat's paradise! Bye-bye, my "humble" Wilbur! Fare thee well, Charlotte, you old schemer! This will be a night to remember!
== Dialogue ==
:'''Avery Arable''': Can I have a pig too, Pop?
:'''John Arable''': [put the jacket on his hook] No, I only distribute pigs to early risers. Fern was up at daylight, trying to rid the world of [[injustice]]. ''[Avery's frog escapes his jacket and jumps all over the breakfast table]'' Seems to me you've already got more [[wildlife]] than you can take care of, Avery.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Goose''': Sorry, sonny, sorry; I'm sitting-sitting on my eggs, but if you'd like to come here and talk, you're welcome-welcome-welcome. ''[beat]'' Can't you talk-talk-talk? You probably-obably could if you try. Come on, try! Try! Try! Oh, you can do better than that!
:'''Wilbur''': W-w-w-wi-el-bur.
:'''Goose''': Good. Very good!
:'''Wilbur''': Wilbur. Wilbur!
:'''Goose''': There, there, there! You speak very well.
:'''Wilbur''': I can talk. I can talk! I can actually, factually talk! ''[singing]'' Isn't it great, that I articulate?/Isn't it grand, that you can understand?/I don't grunt/I don't oink/I don't even squeak or squawk/When I wanna say a-somethin', I open up and talk! I can talk! I can talk, talk, talk, I can...
:'''Old Sheep''': Why don't you keep it down?
:'''Wilbur''': I can talk!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Wilbur''': ''[to a lamb]'' Wanna play?
:'''Baby Lamb''': ''[to an old sheep]'' May I, Papa?
:'''Old Sheep''': Certainly not. In the first place, you can't get out of your pen. In the second place, sheep do not play with pigs.
:'''Wilbur''': Why not?
:'''Old Sheep''': Oh, it's a matter of status. Sheep, for instance, are highly regarded by Zuckerman, because we furnish him with good-quality wool. With pigs, on the other hand, it's just a matter of [[time]].
:'''Wilbur''': Time till what?
:'''Old Sheep''': Till you're fat enough to kill.
:'''Wilbur''': ''[incredulously]'' What did you say?!
:'''Old Sheep''': Oh, everybody knows it. In the fall, you'll be turned into smoked bacon and ham. Just as soon as cold weather sets in, they'll kill you.
:'''Wilbur''': Ohh! ''[faints]''
:'''Goose''': Templeton.
:'''Templeton''': Hmm?
:'''Goose''': Templeton! Would you do something-umthing-umthing about Wilbur, please?
:'''Wilbur''': Is it true what the old sheep says? Is that awful thing true?!
:'''Goose''': It's a dirty-irty trick, but it's true.
:'''Wilbur''': I don't want to die! I want to stay here in my warm manure pile! I want to breathe the beautiful [[air]], and lie in the beautiful [[sun]]!
:'''Old Sheep''': ''[sarcastic]'' You're certainly making a beautiful ''noise''.
:'''Wilbur''': ''[breaking into tears]'' I don't want to die! ''I don't want to die!''
:'''Charlotte''': ''[unseen]'' Quiet, Wilbur! Now chin up!
:'''Wilbur''': Who said that?
:'''Charlotte''': Do you want a friend?
:'''Wilbur''': Yes, I want a friend. But I want to live, too!
:'''Charlotte''': Well, chin up. I'll be your friend, and I'll try to save your life. I've been watching you, and I like you.
:'''Wilbur''': I can't see you. What do you mean "''chin up''"?
:'''Charlotte''': Now go to sleep. You'll see me in the morning, and I'll explain everything then.
:'''Narrator''': Wilbur's stomach was empty, and his mind was full. And when your stomach is empty and your mind is full, it's always hard to sleep. But sleep and Wilbur finally found each other.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Charlotte''': Salutations.
:'''Wilbur''': Salu-what?
:'''Charlotte''': Salutations.
:'''Wilbur''': What are they? And where are you?
:'''Charlotte''': Salutations are greetings. It's my fancy way of saying hello. Look up here, in the doorway!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[After the goose's eggs have hatched]''
:'''Wilbur''': Congratulations! How many are there?
:'''Goose''': There are seven.
:'''Charlotte''': Seven is a lucky number.
:'''Goose''': ''[proudly]'' [[Luck]] had absolutely nothing to do with it! It was really good management and hard work.
:'''Templeton''': ''[looking at a solitary unhatched egg]'' Why didn't, uh, this one hatch?
:'''The Goose''': ''[gloomily]'' It's a dud, I guess.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Avery''': Why isn't that gosling with his mother?
:''[Jeffrey runs to Wilbur]''
:'''Fern''': Because he likes Wilbur.
:'''Avery''': Shrimpy little thing. ''[Jeffrey oinks like a pig at Avery]'' Sounds more like a pig than a gosling.
:''[Jeffrey oinks like a pig again and looks proud of himself]''
:'''Avery''': ''[noticing Charlotte]'' Wow! Look at that big spider! I'm gonna catch it for my collection!
:'''Fern''': Avery, you leave that spider alone!''
:'''Avery''': That's a fine spider and I'm catching it! What's the matter with you, Wilbur?
:'''Fern''': He doesn't like you in there. Now, get out! ''[as Wilbur bursts Avery down, the egg cracks under the pig pen]'' What did you do, Avery?!
:'''Avery:''' ''[disgusted]'' Uhhh... Good night! What a stink!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Narrator''': Getting to be famous didn't change Wilbur one bit. Through all the crowds and publicity and glamour, he stayed the same old Wilbur. He was glad when the crowds stopped coming and he could be with his real friends again. Even Mrs. Fussy fell for the message in the web, and let Henry come over to see the famous pig.
:''[Wilbur notices Fern and Henry, they petted him; suddenly a hornet almost stung Fern!]''
:'''Henry:''' A hornet! Duck!
:''[Henry pushes Fern duck down as a hornet lands to wreck Charlotte's web. Wilbur discovered the web was wrecked in dismay]''
:'''Wilbur''': Ohhh.
:''[Charlotte she wraps the hornet up]''
:'''Fern:''' It's all right, Wilbur. Everybody knows you're some pig.
<hr width="50%"/>

'''[[w:Bill Cosby|William Henry "Bill" Cosby, Jr.]]''' Ed.D (born [[12 July]] [[1937]]) is an American actor, comedian, television producer, and author.

In the action series ''I Spy'' (1965-68) he was one of the first black actors to have a leading role on a regular American series, and in the 1980s and '90s ''The Cosby Show'' (1984-1992) was a major hit for NBC, being the most popular American television program for five consecutive seasons.

* People putting their clothes on backwards. Isn't that a sign of something going on wrong? Are you not paying attention? People with their hat on backwards, [[pants]] down around the crack. Isn't that a sign of something or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up?
* We've got to take the neighborhood back. We've got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It's right around the corner. It's standing on the corner. It can't speak English. It doesn't want to speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk. "Why you ain't where you is go." I don't know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't land a plane with "why you ain't…". You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language. Where did these people get the idea that they're moving ahead on this? Well, they know they're not, they're just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you're just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out.

*And it's even worse because Bill Cosby has the fuckin' smuggest old black man public persona that I hate. He gets on TV, "Pull yo' pants up, black people. I was on TV in the '80s! I can talk down to you, cause I had a successful sitcom!" Yeah, but you rape women, Bill Cosby, so, kinda brings you down a couple notches. "I don't curse on stage!"

*Well let me tell you, and I understand this about the current victim. The first thing you feel is stupid, and then you feel that no one will believe you. This is the great Bill Cosby, he has tremendous wealth, power, a p.r. machine, a reputation, he is Mr. Jell-O, but the worst thing you feel is stupid. There's a shame element involved.

*But there’s something else, along with the plight of poor people, dogging Bill Cosby. His lawyers have gotten it pushed to the back burner, down to a simmer, and maybe it will amount to nothing, yet there is also the possibility that it will bubble up to destroy him.<br>It is still Cosby’s no against her yes, except for one difference: Thirteen women are waiting to be deposed in the suit; in a court filing, Constand’s lawyer says that all of them — with nothing to gain, with no payout waiting, with their own statutes of limitations run out — have stories about Bill Cosby as well, and some of them will claim a similar drug-and-fondling M.O.<br>These accusations are about as far removed from the character of Heathcliff Huxtable — that’s Bill, right? — as we could imagine.<br>And as Cosby's lawyers string out the suit, filing motions, keeping it in limbo, with those witnesses largely quiet and nothing substantiated, it remains — even 14 strong — nothing more than allegations, about which Bill Cosby has nothing to say.

* I'll say this. If you give a woman, or a man, for that matter, without his or her knowledge, a drug, and then have sex with that person without consent, that's rape. And I think this country, any civilized country, should have no tolerance for rape.

** Asked whether he would revoke Cosby's {{w|Presidential Medal of Freedom}} (of which he said "We don't have that mechanism.")
* We are formed by all kinds of strange or vague memories from childhood. That kind of understanding is needed to see that Cosby was involved in a symbiotic, push-pull thing with his wife, where he went out and did these awful things to assert his own independence. But for that, he required the women to be inert. He needed them to be dead! Cosby is actually a necrophiliac--a style that was popular in the late Victorian period in the nineteenth-century.

**[[Keshia Knight Pulliam]] (played Rudy Huxtable) on [https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/08/bill-cosby-lisa-bonet-tv-daughters-huxtables 26 August 2015]
* When I was a child, I loved to eat dinner in the kitchen, sitting at the family dining table, alone, while watching monster movies, “Sanford and Son,” “Good Times,” “The Jeffersons,” and “The Cosby Show.” My mother would obsessively wash dishes, leaning into the air conditioner during humid summer days; our dog, a black and white mutt, would lie on the linoleum floor, attentively waiting to see which of us would give him a treat. It was during one of the early evenings, my homework done, before I had rushed back to playing Nintendo, that I exclaimed about the wonders of “The Cosby Show,” that the Huxtables were America’s greatest family, how everyone should have a dad like Bill Cosby. https://www.salon.com/2015/07/12/how_the_cosby_show_duped_america_the_sitcom_that_enabled_our_ugliest_reagan_era_fantasies/
* My mother, having just thrown the dog a bit of bread and pulling up the sleeve of her winter robe to keep it from catching fire on the oven, poured her tea and threw some verbal darts. “You don’t have to look at the TV to find a role model or father figure. He is here, in this house, right now.”
* I remembered that moment the other day when I saw the news that Cosby had admitted in a previously sealed deposition to drugging women in order to rape them. In all probability Cosby is a serial sex offender. Thus, the public scold of the black ghetto underclass may in fact be guilty of far worst “crimes” than wearing sagging pants or giving their children names that reflect an unfortunate deficit in social and economic capital.
* Americans on both sides of the color line are upset by Cosby’s behavior not exclusively because of the horrific nature of his crimes, but also because his failings have robbed many of them of an innocent and positive part of their youth. Being disabused of childhood nostalgia is one of the most painful parts of being (and becoming) an adult. But perhaps the focus now should be on the source of that nostalgia itself, and how the politics and values of “The Cosby Show,” which were so attractive to so many and for such a long time, are based on a distorted and inaccurate presentation of the black community, one that has enabled a pernicious type of right-wing “colorblind” racism to flourish.
* Popular culture is inherently political and ideological. While the depiction of a rich and “functioning” black family was superficially transgressive, “The Cosby Show” channeled a particular understanding of race, capitalism, “success,” and “middle class” identity that more often than not reinforced dominant American cultural norms and rules basically in line with the the Horatio Alger myth; it offered to viewers a harmless type of “diversity,” where blackness and the “Black experience” were massaged down into a throwaway mention of the March on Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., or the struggle to end Apartheid, or simple guest appearances for accomplished black musicians, artists, and actors.
* As a child of the hip-hop generation, and a member of the black working class, I grew up loving “The Cosby Show.” I had my own version of the “Gordon Gartrelle” shirt, had a crush on Lisa Bonet, can recite in short order my 10 favorite “Cosby Show” moments, and reenacted with my friends the wannabe b-boy and b-girl battle from season 1 of the show. Nevertheless, I have no shame in admitting that I have much more in common with the white folks on “Roseanne” or the black family on “Roc” than I ever could with the Huxtables.
* There was nothing bigger to me than [[w:The Cosby Show|The Cosby Show]], being in front of that TV. ~ [[w:Sean Combs|Sean Combs]]
*The gravamen of plaintiff’s complaint is that while alone with defendant at defendant’s home in January 2004, defendant deceived plaintiff into ingesting a narcotic or other type of drug which caused plaintiff to become semi-conscious, and thereafter defendant sexually assaulted plaintiff.

*You cannot truthfully speak about Black America in the second half of the 20th century, and not talk about the influence of Bill Cosby - Roland Martin.
*Sixteen women have publicly stated that Cosby, now 77, sexually assaulted them, with 12 saying he drugged them first and another saying he tried to drug her.<br>The saga of the abuse allegations is set in locales that speak to Cosby’s wealth and fame: a Hollywood-studio bungalow, a chauffeured limousine, luxury hotels, a New York City brownstone. But it also stretches into unexpected places, such as an obscure Denver talent agency that referred two of Cosby’s future accusers to the star for mentoring.<br>The allegations are strung together by perceptible patterns that appear and reappear with remarkable consistency: mostly young, white women without family nearby; drugs offered as palliatives; resistance and pursuit; accusers worrying that no one would believe them; lifelong trauma.<br>There is also a pattern of intense response by Cosby’s team of attorneys and publicists, who have used the media and the courts to attack the credibility of his accusers.<br>If his accusers are to be believed, the earliest allegations against Cosby remained hidden for decades, private artifacts of an era when women were less likely to publicly accuse men they knew of sexual misdeeds and society was less likely to believe them. But they have flared periodically throughout the past nine years, both because of changing attitudes and, particularly over the past month, because of social media’s ability to transform a story into a viral phenomenon almost impossible to suppress or control.<br>The allegations represent a stunning reshaping of Cosby's legacy. Cosby built his fame on a family-friendly comedic persona. He has lectured black youths about proper behavior. He has been honored with a Presidential Medal of Freedom and been lauded for making the largest donation ever by an African American to a historically black college, Spelman College in Atlanta.

* I grew up in the Bill Cosby generation as i call it. I was born in the early 70s, watching Fat Albert and the Cosby kids, watching Picture Pages, loved [[w:The Cosby Show|The Cosby Show]] like many of us did in that early generation. Wanted to be a stand up comic, a large part because of him. And then when I found out like we all found out about all these women coming forward, over 60 women saying that he sexually assaulted and or raped them, I didn't know how to process it. ~ [[w:W. Kamau Bell|W. Kamau Bell]]
* 'When you understand the soul of black America and you understand how important iconography is and you understand how important the image of black family perfection ... is, you realize that there's no way to do something like this without it being hugely conversational, if not confrontational, and in many cases painful for people,' - Kierna Mayo. https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-3277368/Ebony-editor-defends-controversial-Cosby-cover-says-did-not-sleep-two-days-image-choice.html
*A pattern has clearly emerged among many of the women—totaling 18 so far—who’ve come forward sharing stories alleging inappropriate sexual behavior on Cosby’s part: companionship, abuse of trust, and a drugged beverage leading to an unwanted sexual violation.<br>To recap: 12 of the women who’ve come forward with allegations against Cosby claim they were drugged prior to their assault, 12 of them were white females, and most were allegedly promised some form of mentorship or professional help. Many of the women also claimed they were in emotionally vulnerable states when Cosby allegedly set his sights on them.

:'''Thief #1''': This night has been quite rewarding.
:'''Thief #2''': ''[laughing]'' We have never stolen so much. We have gathered much loot tonight. No thanks to our leader.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Iago''': ''[smears dirt all over himself]'' I'll just get Aladdin on my side with a little sympathy act. And I'll be back in the palace quicker than you can say "Easy Street." ''[Aladdin turns corner to find him pretending to pant for breath]'' Aladdin! I've finally got free...of Jafar.
:'''Aladdin''': ''[shocked]'' Iago! What are you doing here?
:'''Iago''': Where are you? Getting dark. Hold me... ''[Aladdin tries to grab him]'' Hey, I meant gentle-like!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Genie''': ''[returns to Agrabah]'' He's big! He's blue! And he's BACK!
:''[Aladdin and Jasmine embrace him]''
:'''Aladdin''': Genie!
:'''Jasmine''': You came back!
:'''Genie''': ''[turns red; winces]'' WATCH THE SUNBURN! ''[turns blue again]'' A-ha! Kidding! Did you miss me? Be honest.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Abis Mal''': ''[to himself after Aladdin robbed him]'' That stinkin' Aladdin. First chance I get, I'll slice him in half.
:'''Thief''': ''[to other thieves]'' That stinking Abis Mal. First chance we get, let's slice him in half.
:'''Abis Mal''': ''[to the thieves]'' Hey, get over here and wash up! It's bad enough having to look at you without having to smell you.
:'''Thief''': ''[to the other thieves]'' Come. We do it now. No witnesses. ''[draws his sword]''
:'''Abis Mal''': ''[takes a pail out of the well and dumps some water on top of himself, and Jafar's lamp falls out of the pail and hits him on the head]'' Ow! What is this? So help me, I'll sue whoever runs this well! A lamp? ''[picks it up]'' Well... ''[laughs]'' It might be worth a few shekels once it's cleaned up. ''[rubs it]''
:'''Thief''': It will be of little use to you, Abis Mal, except to light your way in the valley of the dead. ''[the thieves pull out their swords ready strike Abis Mal; red smoke suddenly erupts from the lamp]'' It is bewitched!
:''[All the thieves except Abis Mal get on their horses and ride away in panic. Jafar's evil laugh is heard as he comes out]''
:'''Jafar''': I am free! Free to exact vengeance upon he who has imprisoned me!
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Genie''': Uh, that couldn't gone worse.
:'''Aladdin''': Jasmine I thought I was sunk.
:'''Iago''': Oh, not good.
:'''Jasmine''': You were hiding Iago all along, weren’t you?!
:'''Genie''': I think it just got worse.
:'''Aladdin''': Well, yes but...
:'''Jasmine''': How could you? More secret, more lies? Aladdin, I thought you had change.
:'''Aladdin''': Jasmine, wait! Back to the marketplace! Iago, he... he saved my life. Some grand vizier I'm gonna make. Everybody's mad at me.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Genie''': ''[catches Aladdin and Jasmine on tape]'' Rolling! Today's special moments are tomorrow's memories. ''[to Jasmine]'' Looking great, Jazz. ''[to Aladdin]'' More emotion, Al! Tilt your chin a bit.

<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Jafar''': ''[to Abis Mal]'' That was two wishes. Take your time with the third, or you will wish you had never been born!
:''[Abis Mal gulps]''
:'''Jafar''': On the other hand, if you cooperate with me, I will see that you are amply rewarded.
:'''Abis Mal''': Rewarded?
:'''Jafar''': First, you will help me get revenge on a certain street rat by the name of... Aladdin.
:'''Abis Mal''': ''[gasps]'' Aladdin?! I want revenge on him, too! He robbed me, turned my men against me, and he fought dirty! My brilliant swordsmanship availed me naught! ''[cuts his pants down with his circle underwear]'' Ohh... ''[pulls them back up]'' I-I hate when I do that.
:'''Jafar''': ''[grabbing Abis Mal's shirt]'' Let's not be too hasty, my simple-minded friend. It's not enough that we simply DESTROY Aladdin. ''[dropping him to the ground]'' After all... there are things so much worse than DEATH! ''[laughs evilly while Abis Mal grins menacingly]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Genie''': ''[runs up to Jasmine with Abu to catch up to Aladdin and the Sultan]'' Make room for the picnic boys!
:'''Jasmine''': They already left, Genie.
:'''Genie''': ''[gasps]'' Without us?!
:'''Abu''': Without us?
:'''Genie''': No problem. I'll catch up in a flash!
:'''Jasmine''': Wait! Without me, too. Aladdin needs some time alone with Father to patch things up.
:'''Genie''': ''[to Abu]'' You know what this means, monkey boy? ''[Abu nods]'' MORE FOOD FOR US!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Inside Jafar's lab]''
:'''Sultan''': Jafar, you fiend! ''[chained into the wall]'' I should have known that this was your treachery!
:'''Jafar''': But I couldn't have done it without Iago.
:'''Iago''': Eh... I-I played a minor role, really.
:'''Abis Mal''': Jafar! This... rug won't cooperate!
:''[He grabs Carpet when he trips him and Carpet tries to fly free, but Jafar used his power to lock Carpet in chains put a lock along with Genie in a ball and Abu chained into the wall]''
:'''Sultan''': ''[grunting angrily]'' Ooh, when Aladdin returns...
:'''Jafar''': I think we have ample time to prepare for his arrival. ''[giving the Sultan's hat and his dagger (with his power) to slash the hat in half]''
:'''Abis Mal''': Hey! That was a nice hat. I could've worn that hat!
:'''Jafar''': We need this for our plan.
:'''Abis Mal''': Couldn't we use another hat for the plan?
:'''Jafar''': Oh, no. The sultan's turban and this dagger are exactly what we need... ''[putting the dagger on Abis Mal's head closer]'' ...to seal Aladdin's doom. ''[Repeated scene again with Aladdin walking barefoot and the screen distorts]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Outside the Sultan's Palace of Agrabah at night with Aladdin walking and panting to the stairs]''

:'''Aladdin''': What?! No!
:''[Inside the palace dungeon at night]''
:'''Razoul''': And then you went over the waterfall, eh? Ha! How did you survive?
:'''Aladdin''': I... I don't know.
:'''Razoul''': How ''very'' convenient.
:'''Aladdin''': It's the truth! Why won't you believe me?
:'''Jafar (Jasmine)''': ''[off-screen]'' Because we know you're lying!
:'''Aladdin''': Huh?
:'''Jafar (Jasmine)''': I found this in your room. My father's turban... slashed!
:'''Aladdin''': You can't think...
:'''Jafar (Jasmine)''': I thought you loved me! But now I see that all you wanted to do was rule Agrabah!
:'''Aladdin''': I never wanted...
:'''Jafar (Jasmine)''': He shall die at dawn, for the murder of my father.
:'''Aladdin''': Jasmine, please!
:'''Razoul''': You're in ''my'' hands now, STREET RAT!
:''[At Jafar's Lab. The sound of a lock is heard. Along with Genie in a glass ball with a spider design, Carpet, Abu and the Sultan in chains, Abis Mal chains and locks the real Jasmine into the wall. Jafar, disguised as Jasmine, looks at the real Jasmine]''
:'''Jafar''': ''[laughing evilly]'' Oh, you should have seen the look on Aladdin's face when Princess Jasmine sentenced him to death.
:'''Jasmine''': ''[gasps]'' No!
:'''Abis Mal''': Oh, yes! And then I get my wish.
:'''Jafar''': Yes, and then you get your wish.
:'''Jasmine''': ''[in anger]'' Iago! I swear one day you will pay for this!
:'''Iago''': Heh, I really think you're makin' too big a deal out of this.
:'''Jafar''': Such spirit! ''[Jasmine ties to bite Jafar's hand]'' Perhaps after a few days in chains you'll be more kindly disposed toward me. ''[putting his snake staff closely to her]'' Especially, if you want your father to remain healthy! Ah, Iago... you betrayed me and allied yourself with my enemies. Then you turned on them as soon as it was in your best interests! That's what I love about you. You're so perfectly... predictable. A villain through and through.
:'''Iago''': Thank you. Thank you. Whew.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[At the dungeon along with Aladdin locked up in chains]''
:'''Razoul''': ''[last words; with his executioner's mask smells and sighs]'' Dawn!

:'''Sultan''': When I get hold of you, Jafar...
:'''Jafar (Jasmine)''': I'm SO worried.
:'''Iago''': ''[squawks]'' Whew!
:'''Jasmine''': ''[in anger]'' How could you double-cross Aladdin after all he's done for you?!
:''[Abu chatters angrily at him]''
:'''Iago''': Hey! Do I insult your mother?
:'''Jasmine''': ''[sighs]'' What are you doing now?
:'''Iago''': Oh, what does it look like I'm doin'? I'm tryin' to free... the chump genie, so he can... save your chump boyfriend! Squawk!

:'''Abis Mal''': Huh? Hey!
:'''Aladdin''': I'll take that!
:'''Abis Mal''': My lamp! Gimme!
:'''Jafar''': The street rat? Still alive?! NO!!!!!!!!!!

[[File:Author photo of Clive James by Brian Aris (1986).jpg|thumb]]
'''[[w:Clive James|Clive James]]''' [[w:Order of Australia|AO]], [[w:Order of the British Empire|CBE]], [[w:Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature|FRSL]] (born Vivian Leopold James; [[7 October]] [[1939]] – [[24 November]] [[2019]]) was an expatriate Australian writer, poet, essayist, critic, television personality and commentator on popular culture.
== Memoirs ==
=== ''Unreliable Memoirs'' (1980) ===
* '''Most first novels are disguised autobiographies. This autobiography is a disguised novel.'''
** Opening lines to the preface, p. 9
* Rilke used to say that no poet would mind going to gaol, since he would at least have time to explore the treasure house of his memory. In many respects Rilke was a prick.
** From the preface, p. 9
* '''I was born in 1939. The other big event of that year was the outbreak of the Second World War, but for the moment that did not affect me.'''
** Opening lines of the autobiography, p. 11
* My mother had naturally spiced the pudding with sixpences and threepenny bits, called zacs and trays respectively. Grandpa had collected one of these in the oesophagus. He gave a protracted, strangled gurgle which for a long time we all took to be the beginning of some anecdote.
** p. 13
* I remember the shock of seeing Ray undressed. He looked as if he had a squirrel hanging there. I had an acorn.
** p. 17
* Children in Australia are still named after movies and sporting events. You can tell roughly the year the swimming star Shane Gould was born. It was about the time ''Shane'' was released. There was a famous case of a returned serviceman who named his son after all the campaigns he had been through in the Western Desert. The kid was called William Bardia Escarpment Qattara Depression Mersa Matruh Tobruk El Alamein Benghazi Tripoli Harris.
** p. 29
* '''Herzen was closer to the truth when he said that every memory calls up a dozen others. The real miracle of Proust is the discipline with which he stemmed the flow. Everything is a Madeleine.'''
** p. 56
* It often happens that we are most touched by what we are least capable of. Evanescent delicacy is not the quality in the arts that I admire most, but it is often the characteristic by which I am most reduced to envy.
** p. 64
* Riding the crest, I diversified, exploiting a highly marketable capacity to fart at will... By mastering this skill I set myself on a par with those court jesters of old who could wow the monarch and all his retinue with a simultaneous leap, whistle and fart. Unable to extend my neo-Homeric story-telling activities from the playground to the classroom, I could nevertheless continue to hog the limelight by interpolating a gaseous running commentary while the teacher addressed himself to the blackboard.

* The whole secret of raising a fart in class is to make it sound as if it is punctuating, or commenting upon, what the teacher is saying. Timing, not ripeness, is all. 'And since ''x'' tends to ''y'' as ''c'' tends to ''d'',' Fred expounded, 'then the differential of the increment of ''x'' squared must be... must be... come on, come ''on''! What must it flaming ''be''?' Here was the chance to to give my version of what it must be. I armed one, opened the bomb bay, and let it go. Unfortunately, the results far exceeded the discreet limits I had intended. It sounded like a moose coughing.

* As I begin this last paragraph, outside my window a misty afternoon drizzle gently but inexorably soaks the City of London. Down there in the street I can see umbrellas commiserating with each other. In Sydney Harbour, twelve thousand miles away and ten hours from now, the yachts will be racing on the crushed diamond water under a sky the texture of powdered sapphires. It would be churlish not to concede that the same abundance of natural blessings which gave us the energy to leave has every right to call us back. All in, the whippy's taken. '''Pulsing like a beacon through the days and nights, the birthplace of the fortunate sends out its invisible waves of recollection. It always has and it always will, until even the last of us come home.'''

* Not everyone who wants to make a film is crazy, but almost everyone who is crazy wants to make a film. It is just one of the things that crazy people want to do, like starting a law suit or sending long, unsolicited letters to people in the public eye. A letter from a nutter has a recognisable format and orthography, as if all letter-writing nutters have to go through some kind of Top Gun nutter-letter-writing academy.

* When the bell rang to start the Italian hunting season, devotees of ''la caccia'' drove at full speed into the woods and shot everything that moved. Since the animals were sensibly lying low, most of the victims were people. Advancing at random through woods, the hunters - whose minds, like their expensive guns, were on a hair trigger - fired when they thought they saw something. Often they had seen each other. They also killed civilians in nearby villages. The occasional animal got hit, but only by a fluke. One man blasted a rabbit that was already hanging from another man's belt. So much vehicular traffic on the woodland roads, however, ensured that a considerable amount of wildlife was run over.

* All I can do is turn a phrase until it catches the light. There was a time when I got hot under the collar if the critics said I had nothing new to say. Now I realise that they had a point. My field is the self-evident. Everything I say is obvious, although I like to think that some of the obvious things I have said were not so obvious until I said them.

* It just never occurred to me that the real distance I would have to cross would be in my own mind.

* He had a conspicuous individual talent, but it was interpretive, not directly creative. He could never have emulated Chaplin, Keaton or Jacques Tati and set up a whole project by himself, controlling its every detail even if the task took years. But there is no point carping. He had such a protean capacity that it would have been a miracle if he had been in full command of it.

* Actually, like the vast majority of Australians, I had been born and raised in a city, but in the British imagination at that time the whole of Australia was still the outback, which was somehow equipped with a beach. Later on, this outback beach acquired an Opera House and a row of brick bungalows, one of them occupied by Kylie Minogue.

* I never got away from the enigma of Coren's personality. For me he remains the most enigmatic man of his generation, because the sprawling palace of his attainments has so many rooms he has scarcely bothered to look into. He can fly planes, drive fast cars, dance accomplished jive, speak perfect German. But who is he? His writing never tells you, because its humour is a shield.
** On [[Alan Coren]], p. 166
* I should say in haste that his early poetry gave him the right to think of himself as a giant. But he was also a nutter, one of the manic-depressive type who, when in a downhill phase, accuse themselves loudly of being Hitler. (They never accuse themselves of being the seventh anonymous stormtrooper from the right at a dedication ceremony for the new blood banner in a provincial town twenty miles from Dortmund: they always accuse themselves of being Hitler, just as the people who had previous lives in ancient Egypt always turn out to have been pharaohs or chief priests, and never night-shift workers on the crew that put up the third tallest obelisk in one of the satellite temples at Karnak).

* Martin, rather than step into the spotlight, would prefer to die in an unarmed attack on the power station supplying its electric current. His genuine modesty is the main reason for the fateful discrepancy between him and the journalistic literary sexton beetles who make copy out of him: they would like to receive the degree of attention that he would like to avoid, and the clearer it becomes that he would like to avoid it, the more they resent him for failing to appreciate their generosity.

* ''[[w:Year Zero: The Silent Death of Cambodia|Year Zero]]'' ([[w:Associated Television|ATV]]) featured [[John Pilger]] in Cambodia. Most of what he had to show was hard to look at. Already it has become apparent that [[Pol Pot]]'s crimes, like [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]'s and [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]]'s, are too hideous to take in, even when you are faced with the evidence. Nevertheless Pilger might have found a few unkind things to say about the North Vietnamese who, I seem to remember, have recently taken to offering their internal enemies the opportunity of going on long yachting expeditions with insufficient regard to safety precautions.<br />Pilger loudly accused the international relief organisations of playing politics, but forgot to mention the possibility that the North Vietnamese might be playing politics themselves. The way he was telling it, they were philanthropists. He was there and we were here, but it was hard to quell the suspicion that one of the reasons he was there was that North Vietnam likes the way he presents such a neat, easily understandable picture.

* The mad idea that the Jews have no right to exist is a potent intensifier of the almost equally mad idea that the State of Israel can somehow be eliminated. I say 'almost' because a friend of mine in Australia recently presented me with a plausible case that the Middle East would probably be a more peaceful area if the State of Israel had never been founded. Like her argument that the Aborigines would have been a lot happier if the Europeans had never shown up, this contention was hard to rebut, except by rudely pointing out that we were both sitting in an Italian restaurant in Melbourne, history having happened.

* There is abundant evidence in Stoppard’s plays to show that he is as capable of emotion as anybody. In ''Enter A Free Man'' Linda is a finely tuned moral invention whose equivalents we might well miss in the later plays, if we really thought they should be there. The mainspring of ''Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead'' is the perception—surely a compassionate one—that the fact of their deaths mattering so little to Hamlet was something which ought to have mattered to Shakespeare.

* Solzhenitsyn can imagine what pain is like when it happens to strangers. Even more remarkably, he is not disabled by imagining what pain is like when it happens to a ''million'' strangers - he can think about individuals even when the subject is the obliteration of the masses, which makes his the exact reverse of the ideological mentality, which can think only about masses even when the subject is the obliteration of individuals.

* As far as talent goes, Marilyn Monroe was so minimally gifted as to be almost unemployable, and anyone who holds to the opinion that she was a great natural comic identifies himself immediately as a dunce...As a natural silent comedian Marilyn might possibly have qualified, with the proviso that she was not to be depended on to invent anything. But as a natural comedian in sound she had the conclusive disadvantage of not being able to speak. She was limited ineluctably to characters who rented language but could not possess it, and all her best roles fell into that category. She was good at being inarticulately abstracted for the same reason that midgets are good at being short.
** '[[Norman Mailer|Mailer]]'s ''[[Marilyn Monroe|Marilyn]]'''
* Strong language in Larkin is put in not to shock the reader but to define the narrator's personality. When Larkin's narrator in 'A Study of Reading Habits' (in ''The Whitsun Weddings'') said 'Books are a load of crap' there were critics - some of them, incredibly, among his more appreciative - who allowed themselves to believe that Larkin was expressing his own opinion. (Kingsley Amis had the same kind of trouble, perhaps from the same kind of people, when he let Jim Dixon cast aspersions on Mozart.) It should be obvious at long last, however, that the diction describes the speaker.

* One of the many services performed by Professor Smith's book is to show that Nuremberg was not a kangaroo court. Even the Russian and the French judges were able to act with some independence from their governments. It is true that some of the defendants were arbitrarily chosen, true that the indictment was questionably framed, and true again that some of the verdicts were anomalous. But by and large justice was done. The idea that at Nuremberg the victors tried the vanquished is a false one.<br>The vanquished were the millions of guiltless men, women, and children already obliterated.

* Speer never made the mistake of saying there were no extermination camps. He said he didn't know about them. He impressed the gullible by declaring himself willing to accept responsibility for Nazi crimes even though he was not aware of their full scope. But as the man better informed about the Reich's industrial resources than anybody else including Hitler, Speer was in fact fully aware of the purpose and the extent of the Final Solution and by pretending he was not he did the opposite of accepting responsibility.<br>Speer cheated the rope, cheated the world, and yet further insulted the shades of innocent millions. Those of us who live by our brains should remember his example, which serves to prove that intellect confers no automatic moral superiority. Otherwise we will meet him again in the Infernal Regions, and be once more confronted with that look of puzzled concern, as if there were something difficult, ponderable, and equivocal about the rights and wrongs of tearing children from their mothers' arms, piling their little shoes in heaps, and pushing their twisted corpses into ovens.

* Common sense and a sense of humour are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humour is just common sense, dancing. Those who lack humour are without judgement and should be trusted with nothing.
* Dead ground is the territory you can’t judge the extent of until you approach it: seen from a distance, it is unseen. Almost uniquely amongst imagined countries, [[Leo Tolstoy|Tolstoy]]’s psychological landscape is without dead ground — the entire vista of human experience is lit up with an equal, shadowless intensity, so that separateness and clarity continue even to the horizon.
=== ''The Dreaming Swimmer'' (1993) ===
* [[w:Artur Schnabel|Schnabel]] said that [[w:|Ludwig van Beethoven|Beethoven]]'s late piano sonatas are music better than could be played. Larkin's best poems are poetry better than can be said, but sayability they sumptuously offer. Larkin demands to be read aloud. His big, intricately formed stanzas, often bridging from one to the next, defeat the single breath but always invite it. As you read, the ideal human voice speaks in your head. It isn't his: as his gramophone records prove, he sounded like someone who expects to be interrupted. It isn't yours, either. It's ours.
** '[[Philip Larkin]]: Somewhere becoming rain'
=== ''As Of This Writing'' (2003) ===
* The question of originality, if it arises at all, can never be peripheral: originality is more than a requirement in good poetry, it is a description of it.
** 'Two Essays on [[Theodore Roethke]]'
* [[w:James McAuley|McAuley's]] nominal subject was left-wing incomprehension of the recently published ''Dr. Zhivago'', but the real object of his ire seemed to be liberalism in general, starting with the invention of moveable type, or perhaps the wheel.
** 'The Great Generation of Australian Poetry'
* Our post-[[Hannah Arendt]] imaginations are haunted by the wrong figure: for every owl-eyed, mild-mannered pen-pusher clinically shuffling the euphemistic paperwork of oblivion, there were a hundred noisily dedicated louts revelling in the bloodbath. The gas chambers, our most enduring symbol of the catastrophe, were in fact anomalous: most of those annihilated did not die suddenly and surprised as the result of a deception, but only after protracted humiliations and torments to whose devising their persecutors devoted inexhaustible creative zeal.
** 'Hitler's Unwitting Exculpator', a review of ''Hitler's Willing Executioners'' by [[Daniel Jonah Goldhagen]]
* [I]t makes no sense whatsoever to call the perpetrators of the Holocaust 'the Germans' if by that is meant that the German victims of Naziism – including many Jews who went on regarding themselves as Germans to the end of the line – somehow weren’t Germans at all. That’s what the Nazis thought, and to echo their harebrained typology is to concede them their victory.
** Ibid.
* In Germany, everyone knew that helping or hiding Jews was an unpardonable crime, which would be punished as severely as an attack on Hitler’s life – because it was an attack on Hitler’s life. Why, Goldhagen asks, did the population not rise up? The answer is obvious: because you had to be a hero to do so.
** Ibid.
* [[w:Claus von Stauffenberg|Claus Graf von Stauffenberg]]'s famous last words ''Es lebe das geheime Deutschland'' have turned out to be not quite so romantically foolish as they sounded at the time. If there never was a secret Germany, the July plotters at least provided a sacred moment, and the Germans of today are right to cherish it.
** Ibid.
* The Holocaust would have been unimaginable without the Nazi Party; the Nazi Party would have been unimaginable without Hitler; and Hitler’s rise to power would have been unimaginable without the unique circumstances that brought the Weimar Republic to ruin. To hear Goldhagen tell it, mass murder was all set to go: a century-long build-up of eliminationist anti-Semitism simply had to express itself. But the moment when a historian says that something had to happen is the moment when he stops writing history and starts predicting the past.
** Ibid.
* We tend to think of [Hitler] as an idiot because the central tenet of his ideology was idiotic – and idiotic, of course, it transparently is. Anti-Semitism is a world view through a pinhole: as scientists say about a bad theory, it is not even wrong. Nietzsche tried to tell Wagner that it was beneath contempt. Sartre was right for once when he said that through anti-Semitism any halfwit could become a member of an elite. But, as the case of Wagner proves, a man can have this poisonous bee in his bonnet and still be a creative genius. Hitler was a destructive genius, whose evil gifts not only beggar description but invite denial, because we find it more comfortable to believe that their consequences were produced by historical forces than to believe that he was a historical force. Or perhaps we just lack the vocabulary. Not many of us, in a secular age, are willing to concede that, in the form of Hitler, Satan visited the Earth, recruited an army of sinners, and fought and won a battle against God. We would rather talk the language of pseudoscience, which at least seems to bring such events to order. But all such language can do is shift the focus of attention down to the broad mass of the German people, which is what Goldhagen has done, in a way that, at least in part, lets Hitler off the hook – and unintentionally reinforces his central belief that it was the destiny of the Jewish race to be expelled from the Volk as an inimical presence.
** Ibid.
* The answer to the nagging conundrum of how a civilized country like Germany could produce the Holocaust is that Germany ceased to be civilized from the moment Hitler came to power.
** Ibid.
* For those who would like to throw off the burden of history and move on, Goldhagen’s book has been a welcome gift. Purporting to bring the past home to the unsuspecting present, he has had the opposite effect. If he has not yet asked himself why his book has received such an enthusiastic reception in Germany, he might ponder why 'the Germans' should be so glad to be supplied with the argument that their parents and grandparents were all equally to blame because they inhabited a culture blameworthy in itself: we’re different now. But nobody is that different now, because nobody was that different then.
** Postscript to ''Hitler's Unwitting Exculpator''
* The new Germany is a democracy. So was the old Germany, or it tried to be: but then the Nazis got on, and Hell broke loose. It can break loose anywhere: all people have hellish propensities.
** Ibid.
=== ''The Meaning of Recognition'' (2005) ===
* Roman Polanski's new film ''The Pianist'' is a work of genius on every level, except, alas, for the press-pack promotional slogan attributed to the director himself. "''The Pianist'' is a testimony to the power of music, the will to live, and the courage to stand against evil." If he actually said it, he flew in the face of his own masterpiece, which is a testimony to none of those things. '''In the Warsaw ghetto, the power of music, the will to live and the courage to stand against evil added up to very little, and ''The Pianist'' has the wherewithal to respect that sad fact and make sense of it. In the Warsaw ghetto, what counted was luck, and the luck had to be very good.'''
** On [[Roman Polański|Polanski]]'s ''The Pianist''
* [Donald Horne's] central tenet, that his homeland was a lucky strike consistently mismanaged by second-rate politicians, caught on as a dogmatic aid to national self-doubt. As I read on through our recent and gratifyingly rich heritage of commentary and memoir, it became clearer to me all the time that we hadn't become a prosperous and reasonably equable democracy by the accidental dispensation of benevolent nature and a favourable geographical position. The country had been built, by clever people. Our constitution itself was the work of people who had studied history. They were readers of newspapers and periodicals, they were eternal students in the best sense, they were bookish people. They had built a bookish nation. But, as so often has been the case with Australia's consciousness of itself, the problem was to realise it.
** On Australia and [[w:Donald Horne|Donald Horne]]'s "The Lucky Country"
=== ''Cultural Amnesia: Notes in the Margin of My Time'' (2007) ===
* The full facts about Nazi Germany came out quite quickly, and were more than enough to induce despair. The full facts about the Soviet Union were slower to become generally appreciated, but when they at last were, the despair was compounded. The full facts about Mao's China left that compounded despair looking like an inadequate response. '''After Mao, not even Pol Pot came as a surprise. Sadly, he was a cliché.'''
** 'Introduction' p.XVIII
* Sartre, whose underground activities had never amounted to anything except a secret meeting on Wednesday to decide whether there should be another meeting the following Tuesday, not only claimed the status of Resistance veteran but called down vengeance on people whose behaviour had not really been all that much more reprehensible than his own.
** '[[w:Raymond Aron|Raymond Aron]]' p. 35
* Whoever said "Wagner's music isn't as bad as it sounds" was as wrong as he was funny, but there is surely a case for saying that the story of Captain Ahab's contest with the great white whale is one of those books you can't get started with even after you have finished reading them.
** '[[Jorge Luis Borges]]', p. 65
* Borges, alas, had no particular objection to extreme authoritarianism as such. The reason he hated Peronismo was that it was a mass movement. He didn't like the masses: he was the kind of senatorial elitist whose chief objection to fascism is that by mobilizing the people it gives them ideas above their station and hands out too many free shirts.
** '[[Jorge Luis Borges]]', p. 69
* There have even been outright bad writers blessed by the visitation of a poetic title. Ayn Rand had one with ''[[The Fountainhead]]'', and another with ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]'': a bit of a mouthful, but nobody has ever spat it out without first being fascinated with what it felt like to chew. Yet if those were not two of the worst books ever written - the worst books ever written don't even get published - they were certainly among the worst books ever to be taken seriously.
** '[[Sir Thomas Browne]]', p. 80
* ''Unreliable Memoirs'' was just too hard to classify: most of the first wave of American reviewers had convicted it of trying to be truthful and fanciful at the same time. Since I had clearly had no other aim in mind, I read these indictments with sad bewilderment. The most powerful reviewer, in ''The New York Review of Books,'' had seized on my incidental remark 'Rilke was a prick' in order to instruct me that Rilke was, on the contrary, an important German poet.
** [[Dick Cavett]], p. 97
* Taste was his world. [[Rainer Maria Rilke|Rilke]] behaved as if art were taste elevated to the highest possible degree. The armigerous chatelaines who played hostess were happy to believe it, since the idea made them artists too.
** [[Sergei Diaghilev]], p. 172
* '''The question isn't about what Schubert would have done if he had lived as long as Beethoven. The question is about what Schubert would have done if he had lived as long as Mozart.'''
** '[[w:Alfred Einstein|Alfred Einstein]]', p. 184
* Back in the late 1950s, on the sleeve of the ''Beyond the Fringe'' record album, [[w:Jonathan Miller|Jonathan Miller]] made a dark joke about his worst fear: being tortured for information that he did not possess. The assumption behind the joke was that if he had something to reveal, the agony would stop. He was looking back to a world of polite British fiction, not to a world of brute European fact. In the Nazi and Soviet cellars and camps, people were regularly tortured for information they did not possess: i.e. they were tortured just for the hell of it.
** '[[Terry Gilliam]]', p. 279
* Since the Nazi era need never have happened, to say that he prophesised it is actually a belittlement of his creative achievement, and only one step up from saying that he caused the whole thing. But nobody could now read ''The Trial'' without thinking of the Soviet show trials, or the short works ''Metamorphosis'' and ''In the Penal Colony'' without thinking of the death camps.
** '[[Franz Kafka]]', p. 344
* Attempting to define the sensationalism of the press, [[Malcolm Muggeridge]] came up with the slogan 'Give us this day our daily story.' A doomed effort, because all it did was remind the reader that the King James Version of the Lord's Prayer was better written than an article by Muggeridge.
** '[[Georg Christoph Lichtenberg]]', p. 383
* Few artists were ever fully well, so it is no great trick to prove them ill. There are commentators who can't get interested in Caravaggio until they find out he killed someone. They are only one step from believing that every killer is Caravaggio.
** '[[Georg Christoph Lichtenberg]]', p. 395
* '''A painter can leave you with nothing left to say. A writer leaves you with everything to say.'''
** '[[Georg Christoph Lichtenberg]]', p. 405
* '''One of [Mann's] many reasons for hating the Third Reich was that it forced him to be a better man than he really was.'''
** '[[Thomas Mann]]', p. 453
* The flowers bloomed, the schools of thought contended, and Mao's executioners went to work. The slogan had the same function as the Constitution of the Soviet Union, which [[Aleksandr Zinoviev]] tellingly defined as a document published in order to find out who agreed with it, so that they could be dealt with.
** '[[Mao Zedong]]', p. 457
* Pedants and snobs are fond of declaring that only accomplished French speakers can catch [[Marcel Proust|Proust]]'s tone. That might be so, but the tone is only one of the things to be caught.
** '[[Marcel Proust]]', p. 579
* If you can't have a revolution without Jacobinism, then it becomes a matter of how to have reform without revolution. Anyone who "accepts the necessity of Jacobinism" wants to try his hand at it. When [[François Furet]] hinted at this conclusion in his truly revolutionary book on the French Revolution, he found himself immediately tagged by the left as a diehard spokesman of the reactionary right. It was assumed that if he was against the Terror, he was against the people. His contention that the Terror had been against the people was not accepted.
** '[[w:Edgar Quinet|Edgar Quinet]]', p. 587
* '''A man who wants to find out who he really is should try watching the woman he loves as she dances the tango with a maestro.'''
** [[Ernesto Sábato]]
* In Sartre's style of argument, German metaphysics met French sophistry in a kind of European Coal and Steel Community producing nothing but rhetorical gas.
** '[[Jean-Paul Sartre]]', p. 671
* After being murdered at Stalin's orders, Lev Davidovich Bronstein, alias [[Leon Trotsky]] (1879-1940), lived on for decades as the unassailable hero of aesthetically minded progressives who wished to persuade themselves that there could be a vegetarian version of communism.
** '[[Leon Trotsky]]', p. 747
* There is a consoling mythology, constantly being added to, which would have us believe that genius operates beyond donkey work. Thus we are told reassuringly that [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]] was no better at arithmetic than we are; that [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]] gaily broke the rules of composition while jotting down a stream of black dots without even looking; and that [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]] didn't care about grammar. Superficially, there are facts to lend substance to these illusions. But illusions they remain. There is always some autistic child in India who can speak in prime numbers, but that doesn't mean Einstein couldn't add up; Mozart would not have been able to break the rules in an interesting way unless he was able to keep them if required; and '''Shakespeare, far from being careless about grammar, could depart from it in any direction only because he had first mastered it as a structure.'''

* The controls fell easily to hand, and from there onto the floor.
** On the Trabant. From ''Postcard from Berlin''.
* Everything the British Empire built here will be history. Most of it already is, but it’s a history that has left its mark. In the War Cemetery at Sai Wan Bay you can see it clearly: understated but indelible. The armed forces of Imperial Japan tried to enslave the whole of the East, including Japan itself. Caught up in the terrible war that raged in Asia and the Pacific, a lot of our people who came out here to fight never came home. They died in a good cause. But if the people in this graveyard were somehow to learn that yet another tyranny was on the way, they would find it hard to rest in peace. One of them is my father, who has lain here now for fifty years. He lived and died under our old empire without ever thinking that it was wonderful beyond question. But he thought that it created more than it destroyed, and he was right. The best hope of our last colony is that when the men from the mainland finally take over they will not try to rewrite history by pretending we were never here. Some of us will always be here.

* I think the control I had over my work was less than adequate. There was nothing wrong with the good bits in my poems, it’s just that they were packed around with lots and lots of bad bits, and I think that the only way I’ve improved in the last several decades [. . .] is that I’ve learned to leave out the bad bits. I’m not sure you do improve beyond that.
** From a conversation with [[w:Peter Porter|Peter Porter]] broadcast on ABC Radio, Australia in the program ''Book Talk'' (15 October 2005)
=== ''A Point of View'' (BBC Radio 4, UK) ===
* In Australia during WWII, a couple of established poets invented the supposedly nonsensical works of a fictitious poet called Ern Malley and used them to discredit the modernist pretensions of the young editor who printed them. It never occurred to them that as writers of talent they were not in a position to suppose that they could deliberately write something perfectly meaningless.

* [E]ven if you do know about art, you can’t talk about it socially ... [[Damien Hirst]]'s shark was a common talking point for a time, and so will the diamond skull be: for a little more time, perhaps, but not forever. The [[w:Sandro Botticelli|Botticelli]] paintings are forever because they aren’t talking points.
** 'Reflections on a Diamond Skull', on corporate art
* After thirteen hours we arrived at Bangkok airport and I raced for the smoking room. Smoking room was a big name for a small Perspex cubicle that was opaque from the outside because of the grey pressure of the fumes within. I opened the door, saw all the other smokers sitting there face to face in two tight rows, and I realised that I would have to smoke in the standing position. Then I realised I didn’t have to light up. All I had to do was breathe in. It was the moment of truth.
** 'Smoking the Memory', on giving up smoking
* I still haven’t forgiven [[C. S. Lewis]] for going on all those long walks with [[J. R. R. Tolkien]] and failing to strangle him, thus to save us from hundreds of pages dripping with the wizardly wisdom of Gandalf and from the kind of movie in which [[Orlando Bloom]] defiantly flexes his delicate jaw at thousands of computer-generated orcs. In fact it would have been ever better if C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien could have strangled each other, so that we could also have been saved from the ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia|Chronicles of Narnia]]''.

== Quotes about Garland ==
* '''I wish you would mention the joy she had for life, that’s what she gave me.''' If she was the tragic figure they say she was, I would be a wreck, wouldn't I? '''It was her love of life that carried her through everything. The middle of the road was never for her — it bored her. She wanted the pinnacle of excitement.''' If she was happy, she wasn’t just happy, she was ecstatic. And when she was sad, she was sadder then anyone. She lived eight lives in one, and yet I thought she would outlive us all. She was a great star, and a great talent, and for the rest of my life I will be proud to be Judy Garland's daughter. It wasn’t suicide, it wasn’t sleeping pills, it wasn’t cirrhosis. I think she was just tired, like a flower that blooms and gives joy and beauty to the world and then wilts away.

* It really scared me to do what Mom did because I never did anything that she did. I promised her that I would never sing her songs, and I kept my promise. "'''You sing them better than anybody. I don't want to be a second-rate example of you. I want to be a first-rate example of myself.'''"

* '''My mom was a phoenix who always expected to rise again from the ashes of her latest disaster. And in spite of her self-doubts, she had a very strong sense of who she was.'''

She'd have run off with a vaudeville troupe just the way my grandfather did.

==Care Bears==
===True Heart Bear===
* ''[after she skydives down to a summer camp on Earth]'' A totem pole?
* ''[going into her Cloud Mobile and beginning to drive Dawn and John to the Kingdom of Caring]'' Thank you. There has to be easier ways of getting around.
* ''[to the audience, as the rest of the Care Bear Family, the campers and even Dark Heart chant "We care!" to help save Christy]'': If you have ever cared, do it now. Help us, tell us you care. Tell your friend next to you that...you care. Tell them how much you care. Tell them again. Say it. Shout it! Help us... ''[joins in the chanting]'' We care.
===Friend Bear===
* Uh, excuse me, Mr. Moose. Are you angry about something? Maybe you wanna talk about it. ''[as the moose charges towards her and partner Secret Bear]'' Maybe not! RUN!
* You don't make much noise, Secret Bear, but when you do- ''[responds to Secret's whispers]'' right again. "A little love does go a long way." It certainly cured the moose of Dark Heart's influence.
===Cheer Bear ''[singing]''===
* Cousins, kids, every bear! Don't just sit there! Care-care-CARE!
==Care Bear Cousins==
===Playful Heart Monkey===
* Leapfrog! ''[laughing]''
===Noble Heart Horse===
* We must follow him, True Heart, while his evil power is still weak, and defeat him, once and for all!
===Brave Heart Lion===
* Brave Heart to the rescue! CHARGE!
==Great Wishing Star==
* ''[After True Heart and Noble Heart rescue the Cubs from Dark Heart at beginning of film]'' Well done, my little Star and Heart Buddies. Our search is now over. We have found the two creatures whose love and kindness for others is so great that it sets them apart from the rest of the world. From this day forth, because of their great love and caring, these two shall be known as: ''[gives the Bear her star symbol]'' True Heart Bear... ''[gives the Horse his heart symbol]'' and Noble Heart Horse. And, as they have helped and protected the little orphan Cubs, they shall help others to share their feelings and protect everyone from Dark Heart's evil. ''[begins narrating duties]'' And this is how the Care Bear Family began, a long time ago, in the Kingdom of Caring.
* ''[final lines]'' Yes, sir! Everything was back to the way it was. But, as always, it was just a little bit different, a little bit better, and a little bit more special - thanks to the Care Bears, the Care Bear Cousins, and thanks to... ''[laughs, then to audience]'' Well, you all know who you are. I thank my lucky Stars that there are people out there like ''you'' who really do care. You're not afraid to share your feelings - and that, my friends, makes you all world-class '''Care Bear Champs'''!
==Campers==
===Christy===
* Where are those guys? Maybe they ran away without me! Oh, why can't I be good at anything except shooting marbles? Marble champ. So what? Oh, if only I run or swim or do something to be the Camp Champ!
===John===
* Good friends are the real champs, Christy.
==Dark Heart==
===Human===
* ''[inside his secret cave]'' The time is right for me to begin to ruin all that is good and kind in the world. ''[snaps fingers for his magic red sack]'' Staring with these furry defenders of feelings. I will remove them, one by one, and lock them away in their own...special place...for an eternity. ''[turns into a red cloud and cackles evilly]'' With True Heart and Noble Heart busy elsewhere, it's time for me to pay a visit to the rest of the Care Bears. ''[continues laughing, speeds off to Care-a-lot]''
* ''[posing as Caring Meter Reader]'' Howdy. I'm the Caring Meter Reader. I'm here to Read your Caring Meter, and it looks like I arrived just in time.
* Time for a game of "Disappearing Bears".
* Keep your kindness and affection to yourselves!
* ''[much to the Bears' and Cousins' surprise]'' Ha, ha! Looking for me?
* There's no escape from me! Well, it's time to put you all where I should have put you in the first place.
===Red Cloud===
* ''[after his defeat against the Care Bear Family]'' You have won today. But ''I'll'' be ''back!''
* ''[inside an outhouse where his secret cave is located; cackling]'' They walked right into my trap! Now that I have the entire Care Bear Family in my power, all the love and kindness in the world will soon be no more! ''[cackles again]''
===Animals===
* ''[as a serpent at beginning of movie]'' Run! Run while you can. No matter where you go, I will find you. You cannot escape me. ''[in sinister voice, after lightning crashes]'' I am Dark Heart.
* ''[as a bullfrog; after True Heart, Dawn and John leave camp to visit Noble Heart]'' Beware, True Heart. Soon I'll be coming for you and the little Cubs. ''[hopping away]'' Ha, ha, ha!
* ''[as a Texas vulture perched in a tree, watching Dawn and John]'' I'll be back for you. ''[screeches away]''
* ''[as a wolf, to Christy]'' Come now. We're wasting time!
* ''[as a American alligator in the Dark]'' I'm shelled be back shortly.
==Dialogue==
:''[First lines]''
:''[A storm, caused by Dark Heart the dragon, is brewing in the sea as True Heart Bear and Noble Heart Horse are sailing with the orphan Cubs]''
:'''True Heart Bear''': Oh, my!
:'''Noble Heart Horse''': He's found us! This storm is all his doing!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[The morning of the Care Bear Family's first caring Mission]''
:'''True Heart Bear and Noble Heart Horse''': ''[together]'' Oh!
:'''Noble Heart Horse''': Look!
:'''True Heart Bear''': The Caring Meter! Someone must need our help down on Earth. What'll we do?
:'''Noble Heart Horse''': Why...go and help them! Ooh...hurry, hurry! Wait a minute.
:'''True Heart Bear''': Wait.
:'''Both''': But who's going to look after the Cubs? ''[after Baby Swift Heart giggles, looking at the two]'' I will. One of us has to go...Right. I'll go! ''[thudding at each other]'' Oof!
:'''True Heart Bear''': I'll go this time, Noble Heart. You stay here and look after the Cubs.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[True Heart hears the campers finishing a race with the Camp Champ being the winner]''
:'''Camp Champ''': First back. I win! Ha! John, Dawn and Christy are last again. ''[laughs with other campers]''
:'''Christy''': So what else is new?
:'''Camp Champ''': Ha, ha, ha! You three are last at everything.
:'''Christy''': And you're always first at everything. So what does that make you?
:'''Camp Champ''': Camp Champ, that's what. I can run faster, swim better and hike longer than the three of you put together! But big deal, so can every other kid here. ''[Christy, Dawn and John groan]'' Let me give you some advice: if you can't keep up, leave. ''[to his three opponents]'' Uh...after you do the trash duty. Ha, ha ha!
:''[Others laugh with him as he leaves Christy and company]''
:'''Christy''': I wish that just once, I could be Camp Champ! I hate being last and I hate being here!
:'''Dawn''': So do we, Christy. We can't swim. We can't paddle a boat...He's right. We'll always be last.
:'''John''': And we'll always be doing trash duty.
:'''Dawn''': And all the camp laundry.
:'''Christy''': Well, not me. Not anymore! ''[walking away from her fellow campers]'' I'm going to do something about it!
:'''True Heart Bear''': ''[disguised as a hawk from the totem]'': That's the way, Christy.
:'''John''': What are you-
:'''Dawn''': -going to do?
:'''Christy''': I'm going to...run away!
:'''True Heart Bear''': Run away?! No!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Trying to run away from camp along with Christy, Dawn and John get lost in the nearby woods]''
:'''Dawn''': I'm sure this is the way, John.
:'''John''': It will probably lead you right back here.
:'''Great Wishing Star''': Well, it seems John and Dawn are having problems of their own.
:''[Dawn heads down the path she pointed to only to come back to John through another path]''
:'''John''': ...See what I mean? We're lost! We can't even run away right.
:'''Dawn''': ''[sighs]'' Yeah, we're the first to get lost and the last at everything else.
:'''True Heart Bear''': ''[appears to them]'' This is the path back to camp...if you wanna take it.
:'''Dawn''': Who are you?
:'''John''': ''What'' are you?
:'''True Heart Bear''': My name is True Heart. I'm a friend. I've come to help you find your way back to camp.
:'''Dawn and John''': ''For''get it!
:'''John''': We're not coming back to camp.
:'''Dawn and John''': EVER!
:'''True Heart Bear''': Running away from a problem never solved it. You two are just too worried about the things you can't do. Maybe you should think about all the things you ''can'' do.
:'''John''': Like what?
:'''Dawn''': We can't do anything.
:'''True Heart Bear''': That's not true. For starters, everyone can share their feelings.
:'''Dawn''': Huh! Nobody wants to share anything with us.
:'''John''': We're just LOSERS!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[After Dawn and John arrive in the Kingdom of Caring, before babysitting the orphan Cubs]''
:'''John''': ''[holding Swift Heart]'' What's that?
:'''True Heart Bear''': It's our Caring Meter. It lets us know when something is affecting the level of caring on Earth.
:'''Noble Heart Horse''': This time, it might be...Dark Heart.
:'''Dawn''': Dark Heart? Who's Dark Heart?
:'''Noble Heart Horse''': Let's hope you never have to find out!
:'''True Heart Bear''': If it ''is'' Dark Heart, it'll take both of us! ''[kindly]'' Could you watch over the little Cubs while we're gone?
:'''Dawn''': ''[after she and John look at the Cubs]'' Uh...I think so.
:'''John''': Sure.
:'''Noble Heart Horse''': ''[as he and True Heart leave]'' We know you can do it. Good luck.
:''[No sooner does he close the door than Swift Heart and the other Cubs start crying]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Back on Earth, Christy is sitting on a log lost in the woods]''
:'''Great Wishing Star''': ''[narrating]'' Meanwhile, Christy was lost in the woods and was about to need more help than anyone could've guessed.
:'''Christy''': Where are those guys? Maybe they ran away with me. Oh, why can't I be good at anything except shooting marbles ''[flings a marble that hits a tree, rock, then leaf and lands in her hand]'' Marble Champ. ''[catches the leaf]'' So what? ''[sighs]'' If only I could run, or swim, or do something to be the Camp Champ. ''[Dark Heart looks as a weasel then jumps in a bush causing Christy to gasp]'' John? Dawn?
:'''Dark Heart''': ''[appears as a human boy]'' Hey. What do you know? The Camp Champ.
:'''Christy''': Me?
:'''Dark Heart''': Yeah, sure. You are the Camp Champ, ain't you?
:'''Christy''': No...I'm not.
:'''Dark Heart''': Well, you sure could've fooled me.
:'''Christy''': Who are you?
:'''Dark Heart''': Well, I'm from the camp on the other side of the river. Say! You wouldn't want to be the Camp Champ, would ya? I could fix it for you. What do you say?
:'''Christy''': Well, I don't know.
:'''Dark Heart''': There's only one catch, though.
:'''Christy''': I knew it was too good to be true.
:'''Dark Heart''': Not so fast. It's no big deal. Sometime I'll drop by and ask you to return a favor. And you just...do it. No questions asked. What do you say?
:'''Christy''': Ah, you can't make me Camp Champ.
:'''Dark Heart''': Oh, no?
:'''Christy''': Sure! Okay! You got a deal. Now go ahead and make me Camp Champ.
:'''Dark Heart''': A favor now...for a favor later. ''[snaps fingers magically]'' Done! Do a cartwheel.
:'''Christy''': A cartwheel? I can't do a cart-
:'''Dark Heart''': Just ''do'' it!
:''[Christy gasps at the demand, but succeeds in doing the cartwheel anyway]''
:'''Christy''': I did it! I did it! You were telling the truth!
:'''Dark Heart''': Cartwheels are nothing. Now you can race, swim, paddle...
:'''Christy''': I ''am'' going to be the Camp Champ!
:'''Dark Heart''': Just remember: When I come back, you owe me a favor. And I ''will'' be back.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Before Dark Heart ruins party preparations for the Care Bear Family]''
:'''Harmony Bear''': This is going to be a wonderful party, Tenderheart.
:'''Tenderheart Bear''' ''[tasting punch and slurping it]'': You said it, Harmony Bear. Noble Heart and True Heart will really be surprised.
:'''Grumpy Bear''': Not if they get back before we're finished setting it all up!
:'''Tenderheart Bear''': We'll have lots of time to spare, Grumpy Bear. Actually, everything's ready now.
:'''Grumpy Bear''': ''[as another one of him is carrying a long loaf of bread]'' Huh! That's because I've been doing double duty.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[After True Heart and Noble Heart have left the Kingdom of Caring, along with some others in the Care Bear Family]''
:'''Grumpy Bear''': Boy, am I bushed! Where's everyone else, Tenderheart?
:'''Tenderheart Bear''': I'm not sure, Grumpy Bear. We sent them off this morning to help some people, and they haven't come back.
:'''Wish Bear''': Neither are any of the others that went after them.
:'''Grumpy Bear''': I hope they're all right.
:'''Wish Bear''': ''[hearing Christy's scream for help]'' Oh, no! More trouble! Someone needs our help!
:'''Tenderheart Bear''': You and Cheer Bear'll hold the fort, Wish Bear. You're up to this one, Grumpy?
:'''Grumpy Bear''': Let's go!
:''[He and Tenderheart then leave while Wish Bear watches worriedly]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[After Christy rescues him from drowning]''
:'''Dark Heart''': You...you saved me. Why?
:'''Christy''': Good or bad, you're still a person...or whatever you are.
:'''Dark Heart''': Huh? If you knew what was good for you, you would've left me.
:'''Christy''': That's what ''you'' would've done...Maybe that's the only difference between us.
:''[With a magic snap of his fingers, Dark Heart takes Christy to the other side of the lake]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[At the conference inside the Hall of Hearts]''
:'''Tenderheart Bear''': So...this is all of us that are left.
:'''Harmony Bear''': Oh my, oh dear! What can we do? We were so many...now we're so very few.
:'''Brave Heart Lion''': Well, we can't just stop helping people, Harmony Bear! I mean, we just can't stop caring!
:'''Tenderheart Bear''': Brave Heart's right. And Dark Heart knows it too. Each time we go to help someone in trouble, that someone could be Christy setting another trap.
:'''Grumpy Bear''': But what about Noble Heart and True Heart?
:'''Tenderheart Bear''': I don't know, Grumpy. But what we do know is that we can't wait for them to come back. This is up to us! If we lose, there'll be nothing left.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[While Tenderheart and Brave Heart enter Dark Heart's cave, the Star Buddy lights up above the camp outhouse to show that both have gone in]''
:'''Bright Heart Raccoon''': There's Brave Heart's signal. So do you two know what you have to do?
:'''Dawn''': Leave Christy to us.
:'''John''': You help the others.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[True Heart and Noble Heart try to stare away Dark Heart]''
:'''True Heart Bear''': Noble Heart, look! It's not Dark Heart at all.
:'''Noble Heart Horse''': It's...It's, his shadow.
:'''True Heart Bear''': We've been tricked into leaving the Care Bears and the Care Bear Cousins all alone!
:'''Noble Heart Horse''': Hurry! We have to get back and hope we're not too late!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[The Bears and Cousins get trapped into cages, thanks to their villain]''
:'''Dark Heart''': Ha ha ha! Now I've got you all!
:'''Brave Heart Lion''': You can't keep us in here, Dark Heart!
:'''Dark Heart''': Oh, but I don't intend to. I have a special place all set. ''[yawns]'' But that won't keep until after I've rested.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Shortly after Dark Heart has hiccuped into different creatures in the distance, slinking away]''
:'''Bedtime Bear''': Now we're all here!
:'''Tenderheart Bear''': That's the plan, Bedtime Bear. We wanted to get caught. We're strongest when we're all together, so now we can make a unified stand against Dark Heart. ''[whistles to Star and Heart Buddies]''
:'''Brave Heart Lion''': Hurry, little Star Buddy. We don't have much time!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Christy is throwing stones at the lake when her friends Dawn and John come by]''
:'''Dawn''': Christy?
:'''Christy''': ''[sighs]'' John? Dawn? Oh, what are you doing here? Run away before he gets you too!
:'''Dawn''': No, Christy. We're staying!
:'''John''': We're gonna help.
:'''Dawn''': We can make things go back to just the way they were before Dark Heart came here.
:''[Christy goes away from them, over to the lake's edge]''
:'''Christy''' ''[turning to Dawn and John]'': Since I've been Camp Champ, I've never made you do trash duty, or push you in the mud. Well, no one laughs at you anymore when you trip or fall on your face...I won't let 'em! Oh, I can't go back to being a nobody...not now!
:'''Dawn''': You were never a nobody, Christy.
:'''John''': You were always good at being ''our'' friend.
:'''Dawn''': And a ''friend'' is the most special person in the world.
:'''Christy''': ''[grunts and gets away from them again]'' I made a bargain with him. I had to keep my part of it. Oh, it's too late! The damage has been done!
:'''Dawn''': All right. You've paid him back. Now you have to stop him from hurting all the others.
:'''John''': It's time you start thinking of them...of your friends. ''[giving Christy her marble]'' You were always the marble champ, Christy, and that you did all by yourself. ''[leaves with Dawn]''
:'''Christy''': ''[looks at the marble, then at her friends]'' Dawn! John! Wait for me!
:''[She joins the other two campers in order to stop Dark Heart]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Dark Heart the human has imprisoned the Bears and Cousins in his secret [[w:chandelier|chandelier]], just as the three campers arrive to stop him]''
:'''Christy''': What did you do to them?
:'''Dark Heart''': Well, well, if it isn't the Camp...''Champ''!
:'''Christy''': Where are they, Dark Heart?
:'''Dark Heart''': The Bears? Their Cousins? Why, I've created my most ''prized'' treasure. ''[after he snaps his fingers, the three campers scream as the chandelier comes towards them; laughing]'' Hah! A chandelier of ''frozen'' feelings. Take a look—all of your friends frozen in my crystal...
:'''Christy''': NO!
:'''Dark Heart''': ...prison. All that feeling and love's right where it should be...trapped forever!
:'''Dark Heart''': Ha ha ha!
:'''Christy''': You can't do this. I won't let you!
:'''Dark Heart''': But you made it all possible. Now, like this camp, everything I touch will be drained of goodness...and ''kind''ness!
:'''True Heart Bear''': ''[appears with Noble Heart]'' You have to deal with us ''first'', Dark Heart!
:'''Noble Heart Horse''': The time has come to put an end...to your evil trickery.
:'''Dark Heart''': Ah. Noble Heart and True Heart. True and Noble to the very end. I'm glad you came, but you see, you're already too late. Now, you shall join the others and leave me to do as I will! ''[transforms into the red cloud and laughs]''
:'''Christy''': ''[running to True Heart and Noble Heart]'' No! Stop.
:'''Noble Heart Horse''': Christy! Move out of the way!
:'''Dark Heart''': Christy, do as he says.
:'''Christy''': No. I won't let you do this! Free the others!
:'''Dark Heart''': We have concluded our bargain. I'm allowing you to leave. Now go!
:'''Christy''': I know you don't want to do this!
:'''Dark Heart''': Leave us, or I'll take back all that I have given you. ''[seeing Christy refuse to take heed]'' So be it! ''[thunder cracks]'' You are back to the way you were: a loser!
:'''Christy''': Okay...so what? I helped you do this. And I'm gonna help stop you!
:'''Dark Heart''': You saved my life, Christy! Now run and save yourself! Go.......!
:''[Wind carries Christy away and thunder rumbles, Christy screams, Falls, slides across the floor and bumps into a bag of coins and jewels, she groans]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Dark Heart transforms into his human self for the last time, after having frozen Christy with his lightning as the red cloud]''
:'''Dark Heart''': Help me, Care Bears.
:'''Noble Heart Horse''': Oh. ''[steps over to Christy and gets stung after touching her]''
:''[Some of the Bears nearby gasped]''
:'''Dark Heart''': You must bring this child back from where I've sent her!
:'''Noble Heart Horse and True Heart Bear''': ''[tearfully]'' We...we can't.
:'''Noble Heart Horse''': It would take more love and...caring than even we have...all put together.
:'''Dark Heart''': No! You've...got to do something. What good is all your love...your caring...if it cannot...save this child? If you can't help...who...can?
:'''Dawn''': We care! We all really care! There have to be other people who care as much as we do, people somewhere...anywhere.
:'''True Heart Bear''': If all of us...and everyone, everywhere, all cared together, it just might be enough to save Christy.
:'''Noble Heart Horse''': Everyone hold hands, and together, open your hearts, and your ears, and listen real hard for the voice of those who care!
:'''Cheer Bear''': We care...We care.
:''[Everyone starts chanting "We care!]''
:'''True Heart Bear:''' ''[to the audience]'' If you have ever cared, do it now. Help us, tell us you care. Tell your friend next to you that...you care. Tell them how much you care. Tell them again. Say it. Shout it! Help us... ''[joins in the chanting]'' We care.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Escaping from the secret cave-turned-outhouse, the Care Bear Family and the campers are finding a new friend in Dark Heart]''
:'''Dark Heart''': Thank you.
:'''True Heart Bear''': Thank ''you'' for caring.
:'''Dark Heart''': But-But...I ''did'' care, didn't I? I never really understood why you pulled me out of the river, but I think I do now. ''[hugs Christy]''
:''[The Bears and Cousins cheer]''
:'''Christy''': ''[gasps]'' Your eyes! ''[hands over a mirror to Dark Heart]'' Look!
:'''Dark Heart''': ''[seeing his blue eyes]'' I'm a boy! A real boy!
:'''True Heart Bear''': Your evil left you when you realized how much you really cared.
:'''Dark Heart''': ''[dancing with Christy]'': Whoopee! I'm a boy - I can jump! I can run! I can turn cartwheels!...Whoa! ''[laughs]''

== Quasimodo ==
* If I picked a day to fly, oh, this would be it! The Festival of Fools! It will be fun. The jugglers, and music, and dancing...
* Thanks for the encouragement. But you're all forgetting one big thing. ''['''Gargoyles:''' What?]'' My master, Frollo.
* I'm sorry, master. I will never disobey you again.
* At sunset, I ring the evening mass, and after that, I clean the cloisters, and then I ring the vespers, and-- ''[Esmerelda kisses him on the cheek]'' Whatever's good for you.
* Look. I appreciate what you're all trying to do, but let's not fool ourselves. Ugliest face in all Paris, remember? I don't think I'm her type.
* What? What am I supposed to do? Go out there and rescue the girl from the-from the jaws of death, and the whole town will cheer like I'm some kind of a hero?! She already has her knight in shining armor, and it's not me! ''[sighs]'' Frollo was right. Frollo was right about everything. I'm tired of trying to be something that I'm not.
* We've done it, Esmeralda! We've beaten them back! Come and see!
* ''[to Frollo; angrily and losing patience]'' No! ''You'' listen! All my life, you've told me the world is a dark, cruel place! But now I see that the only thing dark and cruel about it is people like ''you!''
== Judge Claude Frollo ==
* Stanley Yelnats and his family must die!
* I am a public official. I ''must'' go. But I don't enjoy a moment. Thieves and hustlers and the dregs of humankind, all mixed together in a shallow, drunken stupor.
* You are forgiven. But remember, Quasimodo, ''this'' is your sanctuary.
* ''[while watching Stanley Yelnats IV suffer]'' In a moment, captain. A lesson needs to be learned here.
* Mark my words, Gypsy. You will pay for this insolence.
* But, how? I... never mind! Get out, you idiot! I'll find her. I'll find her if I have to ''burn down all of Paris!''
* Burn it! ''['''Phoebus:''' What?!]'' Until it smolders. These people are traitors and must be made examples of.
* The sentence for insubordination is death. Such a pity. You threw away a promising career.
* Don't waste your arrows. Let the traitor rot in his watery grave! Find the girl! If you have to burn the city to the ground, so be it!
* ''[after realizing that Esmeralda is still at large]'' I had the entire cathedral surrounded; guards at every door. There was no way she could've escaped... unless...
* ''[suspicious about Phoebus]'' I think...you're ''hiding'' something. ''['''Quasimodo:''' Oh, no, Master. There's no-]'' You're not eating, boy.
* YOU IDIOT!! THAT WASN'T KINDNESS, IT WAS CUNNING! SHE'S A GYPSY! GYPSIES AREN'T CAPABLE OF REAL LOVE! Think, boy! Think of your mother! ''[calms down]'' But what chance could a poor, misshapen child like you have against her heathen treachery? Well, never you mind, Quasimodo. She will be out of our lives soon enough. I will free you from her evil spell. She will torment you no longer. ''['''Quasimodo:''' What do you mean?]'' I know where her hideout is, and tomorrow at dawn, I attack with a thousand men.
* The prisoner Esmeralda has been accused of the crime of witchcraft. The sentence: death!
* Silence, you old fool! The hunchback and I have unfinished business to attend to. And this time, you will ''not'' interfere.
* ''[upon realizing that Esmeralda had survived]'' She lives!
* I should have known you'd risk your life to save that Gypsy witch, just as your own mother died trying to save you.
* ''[last words]'' And [[w:God in Christianity|he]] shall smite the wicked, and ''plunge'' them into [[w:Hell|the fiery pit]]!
== Hugo ==
* ''[post credits scene]'' Good night, everybody! Wah-ha-hoo!
== [[w:The Hunchback of Notre Dame (soundtrack)|Lyrics]] ==
=== [[w:Topsy Turvy (song)|Topsy Turvy]] ===
* Come one, come all <br /> Close the churches and the schools <br /> It's the day for breaking rules <br /> Come and join the Feast of Fools!
* Every man's a king and every king's a clown <br /> Once again, it's topsy turvy day <br /> It's the day the devil in us gets released <br /> It's the day we mock the prig and shock the priest <br /> Everything is topsy turvy at the Feast of Fools!
* Scurvy knaves are extra scurvy <br /> On the sixth of January <br /> All because it's topsy turvy day <br /> Come one, come all!
* [[Now]]'s the [[time]] we crown the [[King]] of [[Fools]] <br /> You all [[remember]] last year's king? <br /> So make a [[face]] that's [[horrible]] and [[frightening]] <br /> Make a face as gruesome as a gargoyle's wing <br /> For the face that's [[ugliest]] will be the King of Fools!

:'''Victor:''' A festival.
:'''Hugo:''' You mean the Feast of Fools?
:'''Quasimodo:''' Aha!
:'''Hugo:''' Alright alright! Pour the wine and cut the cheese.
:'''Victor:''' It is a treat to watch the colorful pageantry of the simple peasant folk.
:'''Hugo:''' Boy, nothing like balcony seats for watching the old F.O.F.
:'''Quasimodo:''' Yeah, watching. ''[Quasimodo leaves, downcast]''

:'''Frollo:''' You said...festival.
:'''Quasimodo:''' No!
:'''Frollo:''' You are thinking about going to the festival.
:'''Quasimodo:''' It's just that...you go every year.
:'''Frollo:''' I am a public official; I must go. But I don't enjoy a moment. Thieves and hustlers and the dregs of humankind, all mixed together in a shallow, drunken stupor.
:'''Quasimodo:''' I didn't mean to upset you, master.
:'''Frollo:''' Quasimodo, can't you understand? When your heartless mother abandoned you as a child, anyone else would drowned you. And this my thanks for taking you in and raising you as my son?

:'''Frollo:''' Oh, my dear, Quasimodo, you don't know what it's like out there. I do. I do. ♪The world is cruel. The world is wicked. It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city.

:'''Frollo''': You've come to Paris in her darkest hour, Captain. It will take a firm hand to save the weak-minded from being so easily misled.
:'''Phoebus''': Misled, sir?
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': Look, Captain. Gypsies. The gypsies live outside normal order. Their heathen ways inflame the people's lowest instincts, and they must be stopped.
:'''Phoebus''': I was summoned from the wars to capture fortune-tellers and palm-readers?
:'''Frollo:''' Oh, the real war, Captain, is what you see before you. For 20 years, I have been taking care of the gypsies, One. By. One. ''[On each of the last three words, Judge Claude Frollo crushes one of three ants on a tile.]'' And yet, for all of my success, they have thrived! ''[He flips the tile over, revealing scores of ants scurrying around underneath.]'' I believe they have a safe haven, within the walls of this very city. A nest, if you will. They call it the Court of Miracles.
:'''Phoebus:''' What are we going to do about it, sir? ''[Judge Claude Frollo slams the tile back down upside down, crushing the remainder of the ants.]'' You make your point quite vividly, sir.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Referring to Esmeralda, who's dancing at the festival.]''

:'''Oafish Guard:''' You think he's ugly now? Watch this! ''[Throws a tomato at Quasimodo's face, everyone gasps]'' Now, that's ugly!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' You! ''[Points at Esmeralda]'' Gypsy girl! Get down at once!
:'''Esmeralda:''' Yes, your honor. Just as soon as I free this poor creature.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' I forbid it!
:''[Esmeralda pulls out a knife and cuts the rope tying Quasimodo to the wheel]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' How dare you defy me?
:'''Esmeralda:''' You mistreat this poor boy the same way you mistreat my people! You speak of justice, yet you are cruel to those most in need of your help!
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' '''SILENCE!'''
:'''Esmeralda:''' '''''JUSTICE!'''''
:''[Everyone gasps, Esmeralda helps Quasimodo up]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Mark my words, Gypsy; You will pay for this insolence.
:'''Esmeralda:''' Then it appears we've crowned the wrong fool. ''[picks up King of Fools' crown]'' The only fool I see is YOU! ''[throws it at Judge Claude Frollo's feet; Djali raspberries Judge Claude Frollo]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Captain Phoebus, arrest her.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Find her, captain. I want her alive.
:'''Phoebus:''' Yes, sir. Seat off the area, men! Find the gypsy girl, and do not harm her!

:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[points Phoebus' sword at his goatee]'' Oh, really? You missed a spot.
:'''Phoebus:''' Alright, alright, just-just-just calm down. Just give me a chance to apologize.
:'''Esmeralda:''' For what?
:'''Phoebus:''' ''[takes back his sword, and side-sweeps Esmeralda]'' ''That,'' for example.
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[angrily]'' You sneaky son-of-a-
:'''Phoebus:''' ''[interrupting]'' Ah-ah-ah, watch it. We're in a church.
:'''Esmeralda:''' Are you always this charming, or am I just lucky? ''[uses candle-staff]''
:'''Phoebus:''' Ha-ha-ha-ha! Candlelight, privacy, music. Can't think of a better place for hand-to-hand combat. You fight almost as well as a man!
:'''Esmeralda:''' Funny. I was going to say the same thing about ''you!''
:'''Phoebus:''' That's hitting a little below the belt, don't you think?
:'''Esmeralda:''' No. ''This'' is.
:''[Phoebus avoids getting hit in the groin, but gets hit in the mouth by the candle-staff]''
:'''Phoebus:''' ''[blubbers]'' ''Touché.'' ''[gets rammed in the stomach by Djali]'' Oof! I didn't know you had a kid.
:'''Esmeralda:''' Well, he doesn't take to kindly to soldiers.
:'''Phoebus:''' ''[painfully]'' Eh! I noticed. ''[normally]'' Permit me. I'm Phoebus. It means "Sun god." ''[Esmeralda and Djali look at each other, incredulously]'' And you are?
:'''Esmeralda:''' Is this an interrogation?
:'''Phoebus:''' ''[re-sheathes his sword]'' I believe it's called an introduction.
:'''Esmeralda:''' You're not arresting me?
:'''Phoebus:''' Not as long as you're in here. I can't.
:'''Esmeralda:''' Huh. You're not at all like the other soldiers. ''[puts down the candle staff]''
:'''Phoebus:''' Thank you.
:'''Esmeralda:''' So, if you're not going to arrest me, what do you want?
:'''Phoebus:''' I'd settle for your name.
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[smiling]'' Esmeralda.
:'''Phoebus:''' Beautiful. Much better than Phoebus, anyway.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Esmeralda opens the church door to see soldiers outside.]''
:'''Solder:''' Frollo's orders: Post a guard at every door.
:''[Esmeralda slams the door in anger.]''
:'''Esmeralda:''' Don't worry, Djali. If Frollo thinks he can keep us here, he's wrong.
:'''Archdeacon:''' Don't act rashly, my child. You created...quite a stir at the festival. It would be unwise to arouse Frollo's anger further.
:'''Esmeralda:''' You saw what he did out there; letting the crowd torture that poor boy. I thought if just ''one'' person could stand up to him, then- ''[sighs]'' What do they have against people who are different, anyway?
:'''Archdeacon:''' You can't right all of the wrongs of this world by yourself.
:'''Esmeralda:''' Well, no one out there is going to help; that's for sure.
:'''Archdeacon:''' Well, perhaps there's someone in here who can.
<hr width="50%'/>
:''[Esmeralda finishes singing "God Help the Outcasts" in the center of the light from the window. Quasimodo smiles, but he is unexpectedly spotted by a Parishioner, thinking he's going to cause trouble.]''
:'''Parishioner:''' You! Bell Ringer! What are you doing down here? ''[Quasimodo is startled by the Parishioner and accidentally knocks down a candle-staff. Esmeralda and Djali see this, and are shocked at the Parishioner's actions]'' Haven't you caused enough trouble already?
:''[Quasimodo retreats back to the bell tower with Esmeralda and Djali following him from behind, while the Parishioner is scolded by the Archdeacon for making a scene.]''
:'''Esmeralda:''' Wait! I want to talk to you.
:''[Quasimodo comes out of the top of the staircase with Esmeralda and Djali behind him and the Gargoyles watch them from above.]''
:'''Laverne:''' Look! He's got a friend with him.
:'''Hugo:''' Yeah! Maybe today wasn't a total loss after all.
:'''Victor:''' A vision of loveliness.
:'''Hugo:''' The one in the dress ain't bad either.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Victor:''' You mustn't run too fast, or she'll get away.
:'''Quasimodo:''' I know, uh, that's what I...
:'''Hugo:''' Just give her some slack, then reel her in! Then give her some slack, then reel her in! Then give her some slack- ''[Laverne hits him on the head]''
:'''Laverne:''' Knock it off, Hugo! She's a girl, not a mackerel.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[to Quasimodo]'' And a Gypsy. And maybe Frollo's wrong about the both of us.
:''[Unbeknownst to them, the gargoyles are eavesdropping.]''
:'''Hugo:''' What did she say?
:'''Laverne''': Frollo's nose is long and wears a truss.
:'''Hugo:''' Ha! Told ya! Pay up!
:'''Victor:''' Oh, dear. ''[Gives Hugo a coin]''
:'''Hugo:''' Chump.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Quasimodo had just driven Phoebus out of the Cathedral.]''
:'''Hugo:''' Hey-hey! There he is! ''[the gargoyles applaud and cheer Quasimodo]''
:'''Victor:''' Oh, wonderful! Bravo, bravissimo! You ejected that tin-plated buffoon with great panache!
:'''Hugo:''' The nerve of him! Snooping around here trying to steal your girl.
:'''Quasimodo:''' My girl?
:'''Laverne:''' Esmeralda. Dark hair, works with a goat. Remember?
:'''Hugo:''' Boy, I do. Way to go, lover boy!
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[chuckles]'' Lover boy? Oh, no, no.
:'''Laverne:''' Oh, don't be so modest.
:'''Quasimodo:''' Look, I appreciate what you're all trying to do. But let's not fool ourselves. Ugliest face in all Paris, remember? I don't think I'm her type.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Phoebus:''' Good morning, sir. ''[notices Judge Claude Frollo looking a little pale]'' Are you feeling all right?
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[after seeing visions of Esmeralda in his fire all night]'' I had a little...trouble with the fireplace.
:'''Phoebus:''' I see. Your orders, sir?
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Find the Gypsy girl.
:''[Cut to a bakery. The soldiers kick the door down, and the baker turns in surprise just as he is baking some bread. One soldier throws a shelf complete with it down to the floor. Two more move a barrel while a third removes a rug to reveal a trapdoor. He opens it to reveal a group of gypsies underneath. They are led outside in chains while Judge Claude Frollo holds out a handful of coins in exchange of Esmeralda's whereabouts]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Ten pieces of silver for the gypsy Esmeralda.
:''[The gypsies stay silent, not about to sell out one of their own]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[taking the coins in his hand]'' Lock them up.
:''[Cut to a gypsy wagon on the banks of the Seine. The soldiers push it into the water and the gypsies therein come out, gasping for air. Judge Claude Frollo now holds out twice the amount of coins as before, hoping they will warn him where Esmeralda is]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[trying to keep his cool]'' Twenty pieces of silver for the gypsy, Esmeralda.
:''[Just like the previous gypsies, these ones are not about to betray a fellow gypsy either. Judge Claude Frollo grows even more furious]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Take them away!
:''[Phoebus heaves a furious sigh to himself. He is beginning to question his commanding officer's sense of justice. Cut to a Miller's farm. Esmeralda and Djali, in their old beggar disguise, walks among a crowd gathered before the scene. The entire lot of them are worried about the miller's welfare and Judge Claude Frollo's sanity, or lack thereof]''
:'''Woman:''' Poor Miller. He's never harmed anyone!
:'''Man:''' Frollo's gone mad.
:''[Inside, Judge Claude Frollo is interrogating the Miller, who is pleading for mercy with him]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' We found this gypsy talisman on your property. Have you been harboring gypsies?
:'''Miller:''' Our home is always open to the weary traveler. Have mercy, my Lord.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' I am placing you and your family under house arrest until I get to the bottom of this. If you what you say is true and you are innocent, then you have nothing to fear.
:''[Judge Claude Frollo turns to leave, but the miller yet begs to be spared]''
:'''Miller:''' But we are innocent. I assure you, we know nothing of these gypsies.
:''[Judge Claude Frollo locks a Miller and his family inside their home]''

:'''Phoebus:''' ''[shocked]'' What?
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Until it smolders. ''[holds torch]'' These people are traitors and must be made examples of.
:'''Phoebus:''' ''[takes torch]'' With all due respect sir, I was not trained to murder the innocent.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' But you ''were'' trained to follow orders. ''[Phoebus douses the torch in a barrel of water.]'' Insolent coward.
:''[Judge Claude Frollo takes a torch from another soldier and sets fire to the windmill which then sets the house ablaze. Phoebus sees one of the blades falling towards him and rolls out of the road. Then he hears the cries of the miller's wife and children, and dives in through the window. Esmeralda, who is watching the entire fact, becomes shocked, but he kicks down the door, carrying the child and baby, and the miller's family escapes unharmed. The miller takes the older child, and Phoebus hands his wife the baby. Mournfully, soon after, the Brutish Guard brains him with the hilt of his sword and he falls to the ground. The Oafish Guard picks him up. Then Judge Claude Frollo goes over to address the turncoat captain]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' The sentence for insubordination of death. Such a pity. You threw away a promising career.
:'''Phoebus:''' Consider it my highest honor, sir.
:''[Esmeralda, taking care not to be seen, takes her sarong and fashions it into a makeshift slingshot. Just as the Brutish Guard is about to execute Phoebus, she throws a stone at Judge Claude Frollo's horse. It rears in pain, and bucks him away. Phoebus takes this opportunity to knock the Brutish Guard and Oafish Guard out. Then the frightened horse runs away, but Phoebus manages to mount it]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Get him! And don't hit my horse!
:''[The archer guards shoot their arrows at Phoebus. Most of them narrowly miss him, one manages to strike him in the back. He moans in pain, and Esmeralda looks horrified. Then he falls into the river, and the archers continue to shoot at the spot where he fell while she stealthily clings to the bridge]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[raising his hand]'' Don't waste your arrows! Let the traitor rot in his watery grave.
:''[Esmeralda takes off her cloak and continues to watch Judge Claude Frollo and the guards, worried that she is partially to blame for the city's burning]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Find the girl. If you have to burn the city to the ground, so be it!
:''[Esmeralda watches as Judge Claude Frollo and his entourage walk away. The moment he is out of sight, she dives into the river and fishes an unconscious and unarmored Phoebus out, dragging him to shore. Fade to the city streets in front of Notre Dame. Judge Claude Frollo and the soldiers have concluded their search, but have seen neither hide nor hair of Esmeralda or Djali]''
:'''Brutish Guard:''' Sir, we've looked everywhere, and yet no sign of the gypsy girl.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[to himself]'' I had the whole cathedral surrounded. Guards at every door. There was no way she could have escaped. ''[suddenly turns toward the sound of bells]'' Unless...
:''[Paris is in flames while Judge Claude Frollo and the guards are searching for Esmeralda. In the bell tower, Victor and Laverne are upset, looking out.]''
:'''Laverne:''' Oh, it doesn't look good.
:'''Victor:''' It's hopeless. Absolutely hopeless.
:'''Hugo:''' ''[playing cards with a pigeon, not paying attention]'' You're warning me! I'm losing to a ''bird!''
:'''Victor:''' Oh, that poor gypsy girl. I'm beginning to fear the worst.
:'''Laverne:''' I know. But now don't you say anything to upset Quasimodo. He's concerned enough already.
:'''Hugo:''' Yes, you're right. We better lighten up.
:''[At that moment, Quasimodo walks in]''
:'''Victor:''' Shh-shh-shh, here he comes.
:'''Laverne:''' Now just stay calm.
:'''Victor:''' Not a word.
:'''Hugo:''' Easy does it.
:'''Victor:''' Stone-faced.
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[walks to the edge]'' Any sign of her?
:''[Victor, who has been trying to keep a straight face, suddenly begins to tremble and attempts to keep his head]''
:'''Victor:''' ''[cracks under pressure]'' Oh, it's a lost cause! She could be anywhere! In the stocks, in the dungeon, on the rack! Oh, God! ''[breaks down]''
:'''Laverne:''' Nice work, Victor.
:'''Quasimodo:''' No, he's right. What are we gonna do?
:'''Hugo:''' ''[shuffling his cards]'' What are you guys speaking about? ''[draws a Queen, three and Joker card respectively as he speaks]'' If I know Esmeralda, she's three steps ahead of Judge Claude Frollo and well out of harm's road.
:'''Quasimodo:''' Do you really think so?
:'''Hugo:''' ''[takes a bit of bread and a cheese wedge from a plate]'' Hey, if things cool off, she'll be back. You'll see.
:'''Quasimodo:''' What makes you so sure?
:'''Laverne:''' Because she likes you. ''[to Quasimodo]'' We always said you were the cute one.
:'''Hugo:''' ''[stuffing his mouth with cheese and bread]'' I thought ''I'' was the cute one.
:'''Laverne:''' No, ''you're'' the fat, foolish one with the big mouth.
:'''Hugo:''' ''[looks confused, yet with his mouth complete]'' What are you saying, exactly?
:'''Laverne:''' Take it from us, Quasi. You have nothing to concern about.
:'''Hugo:''' ''[now holding two hot dogs]'' Yeah. You're irresistible.
:'''Victor:''' ''[chuckles]'' Knights in shining armor certainly aren't your type.
:'''Hugo:''' ''[sticks a hot dog on a fork and jumps over to the window]'' And these guys are a dime a dozen. But you, you're one of a kind. Look.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Phoebus:''' ''[weakly]'' Esmeralda?
:'''Esmeralda:''' Shh. Shh. Shh. You'll hide here until you're strong enough to move. ''[takes out a bottle of wine]''
:'''Phoebus:''' Great. I could use a drink. ''[Esmeralda carefully pours it over his wound]'' Agh! Yes, hmmm. Feels like a 1470 Burgundy. Not a good year.
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[starts stitching up Phoebus' wound]'' That family owes you their lives. You've got to be either the single bravest soldier I've ever seen, or the craziest.
:'''Phoebus:''' ''Ex''-soldier, remember? ''[winces in pain]'' Why is it, whenever we meet, I end up bleeding?
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[finishes up]'' You're lucky. That arrow almost pierced your heart.
:'''Phoebus:''' ''[holds her hand]'' I'm not so sure it didn't. ''[he and Esmeralda kiss, leaving Quasimodo heartbroken]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[after Esmeralda and Djali leave to the Cathedral. The Gargoyles come back to life]''
:'''Laverne''': Quick, we gotta stash the stiff!
:''[They hurriedly drag Phoebus' body off the bed and underneath the tablewith Quasimodo's models on it. He hurriedly tries to set his modelsstraight as Frollo enters. He feigns surprise]''
:'''Quasimodo''': Oh, master, I didn't think you'd be coming--
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': I'm never too busy to share a meal with you, dear boy. I brought a little treat. ''[as he clears his throat slightly, and Quasimodo realises he hasn't set the table. He rushes off to grab the dishes, and is obviously flustered, dropping and breaking things]'' Is there something troubling you, Quasimodo?
:'''Quasimodo''': No! No!
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': Oh, but there is. I know there is. ''[as he has pulled out a bunch of grapes. One falls to the floor, near Phoebus. Quasimodo cautiously picks it up]'' I think... you're hiding something.
:'''Quasimodo''': Oh, no, master. There's nothing--
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': You're not eating, boy.
:'''Quasimodo''': ''[as he quickly gobbles a handful of grapes and mumbling through the food]'' It's very good. Thank you.
:''[Phoebus moans. Quasimodo moans similarly, indicating he enjoys the food. Phoebus sighs louder. Quasimodo kicks him, knocking him out, then pretends to cough to cover up the noise]''
:'''Quasimodo''': Seeds.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': ''[looking at the models]'' What's different in here?
:'''Quasimodo''': Nothing, sir.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': Isn't this one new? ''[picks up the wooden doll of Esmerelda]'' It's awfully good. Looks very much like the... gypsy girl. I know... ''[a nasty look creeps across his face as his voice rises and loses control of his temper, outraged and yelling at Quasimodo, slamming his hand holding the doll on the table and making Quasimodo fall back on his chair]'' YOU HELPED HER <big>'''''ESCAPE!'''''</big>
:'''Quasimodo''': ''[on the floor]'' But I...
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': ''[tossing the doll back on the table and pointing at Quadimodo]'' And now all Paris is burning, because of you!
:'''Quasimodo''': She was kind to me, master.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': ''[destroying all of Quasimodo's wooden figures on the table]'' <big>'''''YOU IDIOT!!! THAT WASN'T KINDNESS, IT WAS CUNNING! SHE'S A GYPSY!'''''</big> ''[pulling Quasimodo by the collar]'' <big>'''''GYPSIES ARE NOT CAPABLE OF REAL LOVE!'''''</big> ''[shaking Quasimodo]'' <big>'''''THINK, BOY! THINK OF YOUR MOTHER!'''''</big> ''[as he takes a moment to recompose himself to calm down and gently talk to Quasimodo]'' But what chance could a poor, misshapen child like you have against her heathen treachery? ''[He plunges his knife on the doll and holds it up to the candle, setting it on fire with explosives]'' Well, never you mind, Quasimodo. She'll be out of our lives soon enough. I will free you from her evil spell, She will torment you no longer.
:'''Quasimodo''': What do you mean?
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': I know where her hideout is. And tomorrow, at dawn, I attack with a thousand men. ''[grins evilly as part of his trick as he leaves]''
:'''Phoebus''': ''[upon realising that Judge Claude Frollo knows where Esmeralda is hiding and that he will attack, Quasimodo feels as though he should help. Phoebus groans from under the table from which he was hidden from Judge Claude Frollo. Once Judge Claude Frollo leaves, he gets out]'' We have to find the Court of Miracles before daybreak. If Frollo gets there first... ''[starts walking, but Quasimodo does not follow; he just looks at Phoebus with the saddened realisation that Esmeralda loves Phoebus, not him; Phoebus turns to him]'' Are you coming with me?
:'''Quasimodo''': ''[looks down, still saddened]'' I can't.
:'''Phoebus''': [as Quasimodo gets to his feet] I thought you were Esmeralda's friend!
:'''Quasimodo''': ''[frowns]'' Frollo's my master. I can't disobey him again. ''[grabs his shoulders and turns his back on Phoebus]''
:'''Phoebus''': She stood up for you! You've got a funny way of showing gratitude.
:''[Quasimodo does not respond; Phoebus stares disapprovingly at him as he grabs his left arm]''
:'''Phoebus''': Well, I'm not going to sit by and watch Frollo massacre innocent people. [walks to the stairs and looks back to Quasimodo] You do what you think is right. ''[leaves; Quasimodo remains silent, then turns to see Victor, Hugo and Laverne shooting him disappointed looks]''
:'''Quasimodo''': ''[shrugs]'' What? What am I supposed to do? ''[frustrated and sarcastic tone, in an arm-flailing manner]'' Go out there and rescue the girl from the Laws of Death, and the whole town will cheer like I'm some kind of a hero?! She already ''has'' her knight on shining armour, and it's not me! ''[sighs]'' Frollo was right. ''[shrugs]'' Frollo was right about everything. ''[looks down]'' And I'm ''tired'' of trying to be something that I'm not.
:''[Quasimodo upon looking down, he catches a glimpse of his left hand; recalls what Esmeralda told him about not having "monster lines," then looks down at the smouldering wooden figure of Esmeralda that Frollo burned earlier; pulls out the amulet Esmeralda gave him and stares ahead with hope and realisation; Laverne taps his shoulder and offers his hooded cloak]''
:'''Quasimodo''': ''[whispering as he hesitantly grabs his cloak and hurries away to catch up with Phoebus]'' I must be out of my mind.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Quasimodo:''' Is this the Court of Miracles?
:'''Phoebus:''' Offhand, I'd say it's the Court of Ankle-Deep Sewage. Cheerful place. ''[chuckles]'' Kinda makes you wish you got out more often eh, Quasi?
:'''Quasimodo:''' Not me. I just want to warn Esmeralda and get back to the bell tower before I get in more trouble.
:'''Phoebus:''' Speaking of trouble, we should have run into some by now.
:'''Quasimodo:''' What do you mean?
:'''Phoebus:''' You know, a guard, a booby trap. ''[his torch is blown out]'' Or an ambush.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[stopping Clopin as he is about to hang Quasimodo and Phoebus, thinking they're Judge Claude Frollo's spies]'' Stop!
:'''Quasimodo and Phoebus:''' ''[muffled]'' Esmeralda!
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[untying Quasimodo and Phoebus]'' These men aren't spies, they're our friends!
:'''Clopin:''' ''[confused]'' Why didn't they say so?
:'''Quasimodo and Phoebus:''' ''[annoyed]'' We '''''did''''' say so!
:'''Esmeralda:''' This is the soldier who saved the Miller's family, and Quasimodo helped me escape the cathedral.
:'''Phoebus:''' We came to warn you! Frollo's coming! He says he know where you're hiding, and he's attacking at dawn with a thousand men!
:'''Esmeralda:''' Then let's waste no time. We must leave immediately. ''[the Gypsies hurry to escape]'' You took a terrible risk coming here. It may not exactly show, but we're grateful.
:'''Phoebus:''' ''[sees Quasimodo sad seeing Esmeralda hug Phoebus: to Esmeralda]'' Don't thank me, thank Quasimodo. Without his help, we would never have found our way here.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[off-screen]'' Nor would I.
:''[Everyone turns to see Judge Claude Frollo with a large group of soldiers who immediately storm the court. The gypsies try to run, but are stopped at every turn. Eventually, the soldiers surround them]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' After 20 years of searching, the Court of Miracles is mine at last. ''[pats a shocked Quasimodo]'' Dear Quasimodo, I always knew you would someday be of use to me.
:'''Quasimodo:''' No.
:'''Esmeralda:''' What are you talking about?
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Why, he led me right to, my dear.
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[frustratingly]'' You're a liar.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' And look what else I've caught in my net. Captain Phoebus, back from the dead. Another "miracle", no doubt. I shall remedy that. ''[Judge Claude Frollo goes to address the gypsies]'' There'll be a little bonfire in the square tomorrow, and you're all invited to attend. Lock them up.
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[grabs Judge Claude Frollo's robe and begs his master to reconsider]'' No, please, Master! ''[Judge Claude Frollo just frowns at him, and he falls to the floor in disgrace]'' No, no.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Take him back to the bell tower. And make sure he stays there.
:''[The soldiers drag Quasimodo back to the bell tower]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[To Esmeralda]'' The time has come, gypsy. You stand upon the brink of the abyss. Yet even now, it is not too late. I can save you from the flames of this world, and the next. Choose me, or the fire. ''[she spits in his face in refusal]'' The Gypsy, Esmeralda, has refused to recant! This evil witch has put the souls of every citizen in Paris in awful jeopardy!
:''[Quasimodo is chained up, and the gargoyles are trying to snap him out of his depression]''
:'''Hugo:''' Come on, Quasi, snap out of it.
:'''Victor:''' Your friends are down there.
:'''Quasimodo:''' It's all my fault.
:'''Laverne:''' You gotta break these chains!
:'''Quasimodo:''' I can't. I tried. What difference would it make?
:'''Victor:''' But you can't let Frollo win.
:'''Quasimodo:''' He already has.
:'''Hugo:''' So, you're-- You're givin' up? That's it?
:'''Laverne''': These chains aren't what's holdin' you back, Quasimodo.
:'''Quasimodo:''' Leave me alone.
:''[All the gargoyles are shocked, and they slowly begin to stone-walk away]''
:'''Hugo''': Okay. Okay, Quasi. We'll leave you alone.
:'''Victor''': After all, we're only made out of stone.
:'''Laverne''': We just thought maybe you were made of somethin' stronger.
:''[The gargoyles then turn to stone, leaving Quasimodo with the line "Made of something stronger."]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' For justice, for Paris, and for her own salvation, it is my sacred duty to send this unholy demon back where she belongs! ''[lights the pyre and the crowd yells in protest against having Esmeralda die in fire]''
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[bellowing]'' '''''NO…!'''''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Archdeacon:''' ''[sternly]'' Frollo, have you gone mad?! I will not tolerate this assault on the House of God!
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Silence, you old fool! ''[tosses the Archdeacon aside]'' The Hunchback and I have unfinished business to attend to. And this time, you will ''not'' interfere. ''[closes and locks door]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[to Esmeralda]'' We've done it, Esmeralda; We've beaten them back! Come and see! ''[Esmeralda doesn't respond]'' Esmeralda, wake up. You're safe now. ''[worried]'' Esmeralda? ''[shocked]'' Oh, no. ''[tries giving Esmeralda water, but she doesn't wake up]'' ''[tearfully]'' Oh, no.
:''[Laverne closes the door and the Gargoyles leave to give Quasimodo an emotional moment as he cries, thinking Esmeralda died. Judge Claude Frollo, however, steps in, with a dagger behind his back and touches Quasimodo on his hump]''
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[whispers angrily]'' You killed her.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' It was my duty. Horrible as it was, I hope you'll can forgive me. ''[Quasimodo hyperventilates]'' There, there, Quasimodo. I know it hurts. But now, the time has come to end your suffering...forever.
:''[as Judge Claude Frollo draws a dagger, and trying to kill him, Quasimodo notices his shadow and gasps in horror, so he grabs Judge Claude Frollo's right arm, and after a struggle, Quasimodo manages to snatch the dagger and bravely corners Judge Claude Frollo, angrily hyperventilating]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[nervously as Quasimodo advances on him]'' Now, now... Listen to me, Quasimodo.
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[about to yelling at Judge Claude Frollo]'' No! You listen! All my life, you have told me the world is a dark, cruel place. But now I see that the only thing dark ''[throws the dagger to the floor]'' and cruel about it is people like you!
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[off screen, weakly]'' Quasimodo?
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[relieved as he turns and sees Esmeralda is alive with the bed]'' Esmeralda!
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[upon realizing that Esmeralda had survived, and he was enraged]'' She lives. ''[draws his sword]''
:'''Quasimodo:''' <big>'''''NO!!!'''''</big> ''[as he grabs Esmeralda and runs out onto the balcony. Judge Claude Frollo follows, but when he gets outside, he sees nothing but gargoyles (including) Pumbaa the Warthog with a statue of the gargoyle). After looking left and right, he looks out over the edge and finds Quasimodo hanging there with Esmeralda]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Leaving so soon? ''[swings his sword, but Quasimodo dodges the blow by swinging to another spot, and misses. Down on the ground, the villagers and guards stop the fight to watch]''
:'''Villager:''' ''[points to Quasimodo, Esmeralda and Judge Claude Frollo fighting to the final battle at the balcony of the Cathedral]'' Look! Up there!
:''[Judge Claude Frollo goes to swings his sword again]''
:'''Quasimodo:''' Hang on! ''[as he swings off again, just narrowly missing Judge Claude Frollo's sword. Finally, Judge Claude Frollo is about to kill Esmeralda, but Quasimodo pushes her out of the way]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' I should have known you'd risk your life to save that gypsy witch! Just as your own mother died trying to save you.
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[realizes what Judge Claude Frollo's saying about his mother's death; shocked and horrified]'' What?
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Now, I'm going to do what I should have done, 20 years ago! ''[furiously throws his cape over Quasimodo's face and tries to throw him down]''
:'''Quasimodo:''' Ohh! Ugh!
:''[And at the same time, Judge Claude Frollo also falls]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Whoaaaaa! Oh!
:''[But Quasimodo holds Judge Claude Frollo's cape, and Esmeralda grabs Quasimodo. Judge Claude Frollo sees a gargoyle and swings to it and grabs it]''
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[grunting]'' Hold on! Hold on!
:''[Quasimodo loses consciousness and drops Judge Claude Frollo's cape, as Judge Claude Frollo stands on top of the gargoyle and laughs evilly. He raises his sword, and trying to kill her]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[His last words before his death]'' And he shall smite the wicked, and plunge them into the fiery pit!
:''[The gargoyle Judge Claude Frollo's standing on starts to collapse beneath him, and he drops his sword and grabs the gargoyle as it comes alive (the Cathedral was observing Judge Claude Frollo's action for 2 decades and finally had enough of him) and angrily roars thunderously at his face]''
:'''Lion:''' Roar!
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' <big>'''''NOOOOO!!!'''''</big>
:''[And he screams in horror as he falls into a sea of molten copper below along with the gargoyle still roaring at him]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' <big><big>'''''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!'''''</big></big>
:''[Finally killing him for good and ending his tyranny once and for all]''

== Quasimodo ==
* If I picked a day to fly, oh, this would be it! The Festival of Fools! It will be fun. The jugglers, and music, and dancing...
* Thanks for the encouragement. But you're all forgetting one big thing. ''['''Gargoyles:''' What?]'' My master, Frollo.
* I'm sorry, master. I will never disobey you again.
* At sunset, I ring the evening mass, and after that, I clean the cloisters, and then I ring the vespers, and-- ''[Esmerelda kisses him on the cheek]'' Whatever's good for you.
* Look. I appreciate what you're all trying to do, but let's not fool ourselves. Ugliest face in all Paris, remember? I don't think I'm her type.
* What? What am I supposed to do? Go out there and rescue the girl from the-from the jaws of death, and the whole town will cheer like I'm some kind of a hero?! She already has her knight in shining armor, and it's not me! ''[sighs]'' Frollo was right. Frollo was right about everything. I'm tired of trying to be something that I'm not.
* We've done it, Esmeralda! We've beaten them back! Come and see!
* ''[to Frollo; angrily and losing patience]'' No! ''You'' listen! All my life, you've told me the world is a dark, cruel place! But now I see that the only thing dark and cruel about it is people like ''you!''
== Judge Claude Frollo ==
* Stanley Yelnats and his family must die!
* I am a public official. I ''must'' go. But I don't enjoy a moment. Thieves and hustlers and the dregs of humankind, all mixed together in a shallow, drunken stupor.
* You are forgiven. But remember, Quasimodo, ''this'' is your sanctuary.
* ''[while watching Stanley Yelnats IV suffer]'' In a moment, captain. A lesson needs to be learned here.
* Mark my words, Gypsy. You will pay for this insolence.
* But, how? I... never mind! Get out, you idiot! I'll find her. I'll find her if I have to ''burn down all of Paris!''
* Burn it! ''['''Phoebus:''' What?!]'' Until it smolders. These people are traitors and must be made examples of.
* The sentence for insubordination is death. Such a pity. You threw away a promising career.
* Don't waste your arrows. Let the traitor rot in his watery grave! Find the girl! If you have to burn the city to the ground, so be it!
* ''[after realizing that Esmeralda is still at large]'' I had the entire cathedral surrounded; guards at every door. There was no way she could've escaped... unless...
* ''[suspicious about Phoebus]'' I think...you're ''hiding'' something. ''['''Quasimodo:''' Oh, no, Master. There's no-]'' You're not eating, boy.
* YOU IDIOT!! THAT WASN'T KINDNESS, IT WAS CUNNING! SHE'S A GYPSY! GYPSIES AREN'T CAPABLE OF REAL LOVE! Think, boy! Think of your mother! ''[calms down]'' But what chance could a poor, misshapen child like you have against her heathen treachery? Well, never you mind, Quasimodo. She will be out of our lives soon enough.

:'''Victor:''' A festival.
:'''Hugo:''' You mean the Feast of Fools?
:'''Quasimodo:''' Aha!
:'''Hugo:''' Alright alright! Pour the wine and cut the cheese.
:'''Victor:''' It is a treat to watch the colorful pageantry of the simple peasant folk.
:'''Hugo:''' Boy, nothing like balcony seats for watching the old F.O.F.

:'''Quasimodo:''' No!
:'''Frollo:''' You are thinking about going to the festival.
:'''Quasimodo:''' It's just that...you go every year.
:'''Frollo:''' I am a public official; I must go. But I don't enjoy a moment. Thieves and hustlers and the dregs of humankind, all mixed together in a shallow, drunken stupor.

:'''Frollo''': You've come to Paris in her darkest hour, Captain. It will take a firm hand to save the weak-minded from being so easily misled.
:'''Phoebus''': Misled, sir?
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': Look, Captain. Gypsies. The gypsies live outside normal order. Their heathen ways inflame the people's lowest instincts, and they must be stopped.
:'''Phoebus''': I was summoned from the wars to capture fortune-tellers and palm-readers?
:'''Frollo:''' Oh, the real war, Captain, is what you see before you. For 20 years, I have been taking care of the gypsies, One. By. One. ''[On each of the last three words, Judge Claude Frollo crushes one of three ants on a tile.]'' And yet, for all of my success, they have thrived! ''[He flips the tile over, revealing scores of ants scurrying around underneath.]'' I believe they have a safe haven, within the walls of this very city. A nest, if you will. They call it the Court of Miracles.
:'''Phoebus:''' What are we going to do about it, sir? ''[Judge Claude Frollo slams the tile back down upside down, crushing the remainder of the ants.]'' You make your point quite vividly, sir.

:'''Esmeralda:''' Yes, your honor. Just as soon as I free this poor creature.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' I forbid it!
:''[Esmeralda pulls out a knife and cuts the rope tying Quasimodo to the wheel]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' How dare you defy me?
:'''Esmeralda:''' You mistreat this poor boy the same way you mistreat my people! You speak of justice, yet you are cruel to those most in need of your help!

:'''Esmeralda:''' '''''JUSTICE!'''''
:''[Everyone gasps, Esmeralda helps Quasimodo up]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Mark my words, Gypsy; You will pay for this insolence.

:'''Phoebus:''' Ha-ha-ha-ha! Candlelight, privacy, music. Can't think of a better place for hand-to-hand combat. You fight almost as well as a man!
:'''Esmeralda:''' Funny. I was going to say the same thing about ''you!''
:'''Phoebus:''' That's hitting a little below the belt, don't you think?
:'''Esmeralda:''' No. ''This'' is.
:''[Phoebus avoids getting hit in the groin, but gets hit in the mouth by the candle-staff]''
:'''Phoebus:''' ''[blubbers]'' ''Touché.'' ''[gets rammed in the stomach by Djali]'' Oof! I didn't know you had a kid.
:'''Esmeralda:''' Well, he doesn't take to kindly to soldiers.
:'''Phoebus:''' ''[painfully]'' Eh! I noticed. ''[normally]'' Permit me. I'm Phoebus. It means "Sun god." ''[Esmeralda and Djali look at each other, incredulously]'' And you are?
:'''Esmeralda:''' Is this an interrogation?
:'''Phoebus:''' ''[re-sheathes his sword]'' I believe it's called an introduction.
:'''Esmeralda:''' You're not arresting me?
:'''Phoebus:''' Not as long as you're in here. I can't.
:'''Esmeralda:''' Huh. You're not at all like the other soldiers. ''[puts down the candle staff]''
:'''Phoebus:''' Thank you.
:'''Esmeralda:''' So, if you're not going to arrest me, what do you want?
:'''Phoebus:''' I'd settle for your name.

:'''Phoebus:''' Beautiful. Much better than Phoebus, anyway.

:''[Esmeralda slams the door in anger.]''
:'''Esmeralda:''' Don't worry, Djali. If Frollo thinks he can keep us here, he's wrong.
:'''Archdeacon:''' Don't act rashly, my child. You created...quite a stir at the festival. It would be unwise to arouse Frollo's anger further.
:'''Esmeralda:''' You saw what he did out there; letting the crowd torture that poor boy. I thought if just ''one'' person could stand up to him, then- ''[sighs]'' What do they have against people who are different, anyway?
:'''Archdeacon:''' You can't right all of the wrongs of this world by yourself.

:'''Phoebus:''' I see. Your orders, sir?
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Find the Gypsy girl.
:''[Cut to a bakery. The soldiers kick the door down, and the baker turns in surprise just as he is baking some bread. One soldier throws a shelf complete with it down to the floor.

They are led outside in chains while Judge Claude Frollo holds out a handful of coins in exchange of Esmeralda's whereabouts]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Ten pieces of silver for the gypsy Esmeralda.
:''[The gypsies stay silent, not about to sell out one of their own]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[taking the coins in his hand]'' Lock them up.
:''[Cut to a gypsy wagon on the banks of the Seine. The soldiers push it into the water and the gypsies therein come out, gasping for air. Judge Claude Frollo now holds out twice the amount of coins as before, hoping they will warn him where Esmeralda is]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[trying to keep his cool]'' Twenty pieces of silver for the gypsy, Esmeralda.
:''[Just like the previous gypsies, these ones are not about to betray a fellow gypsy either. Judge Claude Frollo grows even more furious]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Take them away!
:''[Phoebus heaves a furious sigh to himself. He is beginning to question his commanding officer's sense of justice. Cut to a Miller's farm. Esmeralda and Djali, in their old beggar disguise, walks among a crowd gathered before the scene. The entire lot of them are worried about the miller's welfare and Judge Claude Frollo's sanity, or lack thereof]''
:'''Woman:''' Poor Miller. He's never harmed anyone!
:'''Man:''' Frollo's gone mad.
:''[Inside, Judge Claude Frollo is interrogating the Miller, who is pleading for mercy with him]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' We found this gypsy talisman on your property. Have you been harboring gypsies?
:'''Miller:''' Our home is always open to the weary traveler. Have mercy, my Lord.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' I am placing you and your family under house arrest until I get to the bottom of this. If you what you say is true and you are innocent, then you have nothing to fear.

:'''Phoebus:''' ''[shocked]'' What?
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Until it smolders. ''[holds torch]'' These people are traitors and must be made examples of.
:'''Phoebus:''' ''[takes torch]'' With all due respect sir, I was not trained to murder the innocent.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' But you ''were'' trained to follow orders. ''[Phoebus douses the torch in a barrel of water.]'' Insolent coward.
:''[Judge Claude Frollo takes a torch from another soldier and sets fire to the windmill which then sets the house ablaze. Phoebus sees one of the blades falling towards him and rolls out of the road. Then he hears the cries of the miller's wife and children, and dives in through the window. Esmeralda, who is watching the entire fact, becomes shocked, but he kicks down the door, carrying the child and baby, and the miller's family escapes unharmed. The miller takes the older child, and Phoebus hands his wife the baby. Mournfully, soon after, the Brutish Guard brains him with the hilt of his sword and he falls to the ground. The Oafish Guard picks him up. Then Judge Claude Frollo goes over to address the turncoat captain]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' The sentence for insubordination of death. Such a pity. You threw away a promising career.
:'''Phoebus:''' Consider it my highest honor, sir.
:''[Esmeralda, taking care not to be seen, takes her sarong and fashions it into a makeshift slingshot. Just as the Brutish Guard is about to execute Phoebus, she throws a stone at Judge Claude Frollo's horse. It rears in pain, and bucks him away. Phoebus takes this opportunity to knock the Brutish Guard and Oafish Guard out. Then the frightened horse runs away, but Phoebus manages to mount it]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Get him! And don't hit my horse!
:''[The archer guards shoot their arrows at Phoebus. Most of them narrowly miss him, one manages to strike him in the back. He moans in pain, and Esmeralda looks horrified.

:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[raising his hand]'' Don't waste your arrows! Let the traitor rot in his watery grave.

:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Find the girl. If you have to burn the city to the ground, so be it!
:''[Esmeralda watches as Judge Claude Frollo and his entourage walk away. The moment he is out of sight, she dives into the river and fishes an unconscious and unarmored Phoebus out, dragging him to shore. Fade to the city streets in front of Notre Dame.

:'''Brutish Guard:''' Sir, we've looked everywhere, and yet no sign of the gypsy girl.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[to himself]'' I had the whole cathedral surrounded. Guards at every door. There was no way she could have escaped. ''[suddenly turns toward the sound of bells]'' Unless...

:'''Victor:''' Oh, that poor gypsy girl. I'm beginning to fear the worst.
:'''Laverne:''' I know. But now don't you say anything to upset Quasimodo. He's concerned enough already.
:'''Hugo:''' Yes, you're right. We better lighten up.

:'''Victor:''' Shh-shh-shh, here he comes.
:'''Laverne:''' Now just stay calm.
:'''Victor:''' Not a word.

:'''Laverne:''' Nice work, Victor.
:'''Quasimodo:''' No, he's right. What are we gonna do?
:'''Hugo:''' ''[shuffling his cards]'' What are you guys speaking about? ''[draws a Queen, three and Joker card respectively as he speaks]'' If I know Esmeralda, she's three steps ahead of Judge Claude Frollo and well out of harm's road.
:'''Quasimodo:''' Do you really think so?
:'''Hugo:''' ''[takes a bit of bread and a cheese wedge from a plate]'' Hey, if things cool off, she'll be back. You'll see.
:'''Quasimodo:''' What makes you so sure?
:'''Laverne:''' Because she likes you. ''[to Quasimodo]'' We always said you were the cute one.
:'''Hugo:''' ''[stuffing his mouth with cheese and bread]'' I thought ''I'' was the cute one.
:'''Laverne:''' No, ''you're'' the fat, foolish one with the big mouth.
:'''Hugo:''' ''[looks confused, yet with his mouth complete]'' What are you saying, exactly?
:'''Laverne:''' Take it from us, Quasi. You have nothing to concern about.
:'''Hugo:''' ''[now holding two hot dogs]'' Yeah. You're irresistible.
:'''Victor:''' ''[chuckles]'' Knights in shining armor certainly aren't your type.
:'''Hugo:''' ''[sticks a hot dog on a fork and jumps over to the window]'' And these guys are a dime a dozen. But you, you're one of a kind. Look.

:'''Phoebus:''' ''[weakly]'' Esmeralda?
:'''Esmeralda:''' Shh. Shh. Shh. You'll hide here until you're strong enough to move. ''[takes out a bottle of wine]''
:'''Phoebus:''' Great. I could use a drink. ''[Esmeralda carefully pours it over his wound]'' Agh! Yes, hmmm. Feels like a 1470 Burgundy. Not a good year.
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[starts stitching up Phoebus' wound]'' That family owes you their lives. You've got to be either the single bravest soldier I've ever seen, or the craziest.
:'''Phoebus:''' ''Ex''-soldier, remember? ''[winces in pain]'' Why is it, whenever we meet, I end up bleeding?
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[finishes up]'' You're lucky. That arrow almost pierced your heart.

:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': I'm never too busy to share a meal with you, dear boy. I brought a little treat. ''[as he clears his throat slightly, and Quasimodo realises he hasn't set the table.

:'''Quasimodo''': No! No!
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': Oh, but there is. I know there is. ''[as he has pulled out a bunch of grapes. One falls to the floor, near Phoebus. Quasimodo cautiously picks it up]'' I think... you're hiding something.
:'''Quasimodo''': Oh, no, master. There's nothing--
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': You're not eating, boy.
:'''Quasimodo''': ''[as he quickly gobbles a handful of grapes and mumbling through the food]'' It's very good. Thank you.
:''[Phoebus moans. Quasimodo moans similarly, indicating he enjoys the food. Phoebus sighs louder. Quasimodo kicks him, knocking him out, then pretends to cough to cover up the noise]''

:'''Quasimodo''': Nothing, sir.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': Isn't this one new? ''[picks up the wooden doll of Esmerelda]'' It's awfully good. Looks very much like the... gypsy girl. I know... ''[a nasty look creeps across his face as his voice rises and loses control of his temper, outraged and yelling at Quasimodo, slamming his hand holding the doll on the table and making Quasimodo fall back on his chair]'' YOU HELPED HER <big>'''''ESCAPE!'''''</big>
:'''Quasimodo''': ''[on the floor]'' But I...
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': ''[tossing the doll back on the table and pointing at Quasimodo]'' And now all Paris is burning, because of ''you!''
:'''Quasimodo''': She was kind to me, master.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': ''[destroying all of Quasimodo's wooden figures on the table]'' <big>'''''YOU IDIOT!!! THAT WASN'T KINDNESS, IT WAS CUNNING! SHE'S A GYPSY!'''''</big> ''[pulling Quasimodo by the collar]'' <big>'''''GYPSIES ARE NOT CAPABLE OF REAL LOVE!'''''</big> ''[shaking Quasimodo]'' <big>'''''THINK, BOY! THINK OF YOUR MOTHER!'''''</big> ''[as he takes a moment to recompose himself to calm down and gently talk to Quasimodo]'' But what chance could a poor, misshapen child like you have against her heathen treachery? ''[He plunges his knife on the doll and holds it up to the candle, setting it on fire with explosives]'' Well, never you mind, Quasimodo. She'll be out of our lives soon enough. I will free you from her evil spell, She will torment you no longer.
:'''Quasimodo''': What do you mean?
:'''Judge Claude Frollo''': I know where her hideout is. And tomorrow, at dawn, I attack with a thousand men. ''[grins evilly as part of his trick as he leaves]''
:'''Phoebus''': ''[upon realising that Judge Claude Frollo knows where Esmeralda is hiding and that he will attack, Quasimodo feels as though he should help. Phoebus groans from under the table from which he was hidden from Judge Claude Frollo. Once Judge Claude Frollo leaves, he gets out]'' We have to find the Court of Miracles before daybreak. If Frollo gets there first... ''[starts walking, but Quasimodo does not follow; he just looks at Phoebus with the saddened realisation that Esmeralda loves Phoebus, not him; Phoebus turns to him]'' Are you coming with me?
:'''Quasimodo''': ''[looks down, still saddened]'' I can't.
:'''Phoebus''': [as Quasimodo gets to his feet] I thought you were Esmeralda's friend!
:'''Quasimodo''': ''[frowns]'' Frollo's my master. I can't disobey him again. ''[grabs his shoulders and turns his back on Phoebus]''
:'''Phoebus''': She stood up for you! You've got a funny way of showing gratitude.
:''[Quasimodo does not respond; Phoebus stares disapprovingly at him as he grabs his left arm]''
:'''Phoebus''': Well, I'm not going to sit by and watch Frollo massacre innocent people. [walks to the stairs and looks back to Quasimodo] You do what you think is right. ''[leaves; Quasimodo remains silent, then turns to see Victor, Hugo and Laverne shooting him disappointed looks]''
:'''Quasimodo''': ''[shrugs]'' What? What am I supposed to do? ''[frustrated and sarcastic tone, in an arm-flailing manner]'' Go out there and rescue the girl from the Laws of Death, and the whole town will cheer like I'm some kind of a hero?! She already ''has'' her knight on shining armour, and it's not me! ''[sighs]'' Frollo was right. ''[shrugs]'' Frollo was right about everything. ''[looks down]'' And I'm ''tired'' of trying to be something that I'm not.
:''[Quasimodo upon looking down, he catches a glimpse of his left hand; recalls what Esmeralda told him about not having "monster lines," then looks down at the smouldering wooden figure of Esmeralda that Frollo burned earlier; pulls out the amulet Esmeralda gave him and stares ahead with hope and realisation; Laverne taps his shoulder and offers his hooded cloak]''
:'''Quasimodo''': ''[whispering as he hesitantly grabs his cloak and hurries away to catch up with Phoebus]'' I must be out of my mind.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Quasimodo:''' Is this the Court of Miracles?
:'''Phoebus:''' Offhand, I'd say it's the Court of Ankle-Deep Sewage. Cheerful place. ''[chuckles]'' Kinda makes you wish you got out more often eh, Quasi?
:'''Quasimodo:''' Not me. I just want to warn Esmeralda and get back to the bell tower before I get in more trouble.
:'''Phoebus:''' Speaking of trouble, we should have run into some by now.
:'''Quasimodo:''' What do you mean?
:'''Phoebus:''' You know, a guard, a booby trap. ''[his torch is blown out]'' Or an ambush.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[stopping Clopin as he is about to hang Quasimodo and Phoebus, thinking they're Judge Claude Frollo's spies]'' Stop!
:'''Quasimodo and Phoebus:''' ''[muffled]'' Esmeralda!
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[untying Quasimodo and Phoebus]'' These men aren't spies, they're our friends!
:'''Clopin:''' ''[confused]'' Why didn't they say so?
:'''Quasimodo and Phoebus:''' ''[annoyed]'' We '''''did''''' say so!
:'''Esmeralda:''' This is the soldier who saved the Miller's family, and Quasimodo helped me escape the cathedral.
:'''Phoebus:''' We came to warn you! Frollo's coming! He says he know where you're hiding, and he's attacking at dawn with a thousand men!
:'''Esmeralda:''' Then let's waste no time. We must leave immediately. ''[the Gypsies hurry to escape]'' You took a terrible risk coming here. It may not exactly show, but we're grateful.
:'''Phoebus:''' ''[sees Quasimodo sad seeing Esmeralda hug Phoebus: to Esmeralda]'' Don't thank me, thank Quasimodo. Without his help, we would never have found our way here.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[off-screen]'' Nor would I.
:''[Everyone turns to see Judge Claude Frollo with a large group of soldiers who immediately storm the court. The gypsies try to run, but are stopped at every turn. Eventually, the soldiers surround them]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' After 20 years of searching, the Court of Miracles is mine at last. ''[pats a shocked Quasimodo]'' Dear Quasimodo, I always knew you would someday be of use to me.
:'''Quasimodo:''' No.
:'''Esmeralda:''' What are you talking about?
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Why, he led me right to, my dear.
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[frustratingly]'' You're a liar.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' And look what else I've caught in my net. Captain Phoebus, back from the dead. Another "miracle", no doubt. I shall remedy that. ''[Judge Claude Frollo goes to address the gypsies]'' There'll be a little bonfire in the square tomorrow, and you're all invited to attend. Lock them up.
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[grabs Judge Claude Frollo's robe and begs his master to reconsider]'' No, please, Master! ''[Judge Claude Frollo just frowns at him, and he falls to the floor in disgrace]'' No, no.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Take him back to the bell tower. And make sure he stays there.
:''[The soldiers drag Quasimodo back to the bell tower]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[To Esmeralda]'' The time has come, gypsy. You stand upon the brink of the abyss. Yet even now, it is not too late. I can save you from the flames of this world, and the next. Choose me, or the fire. ''[she spits in his face in refusal]'' The Gypsy, Esmeralda, has refused to recant! This evil witch has put the souls of every citizen in Paris in awful jeopardy!
:''[Quasimodo is chained up, and the gargoyles are trying to snap him out of his depression]''
:'''Hugo:''' Come on, Quasi, snap out of it.
:'''Victor:''' Your friends are down there.
:'''Quasimodo:''' It's all my fault.
:'''Laverne:''' You gotta break these chains!
:'''Quasimodo:''' I can't. I tried. What difference would it make?
:'''Victor:''' But you can't let Frollo win.
:'''Quasimodo:''' He already has.
:'''Hugo:''' So, you're-- You're givin' up? That's it?
:'''Laverne''': These chains aren't what's holdin' you back, Quasimodo.
:'''Quasimodo:''' Leave me alone.
:''[All the gargoyles are shocked, and they slowly begin to stone-walk away]''
:'''Hugo''': Okay. Okay, Quasi. We'll leave you alone.
:'''Victor''': After all, we're only made out of stone.
:'''Laverne''': We just thought maybe you were made of somethin' stronger.
:''[The gargoyles then turn to stone, leaving Quasimodo with the line "Made of something stronger."]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' For justice, for Paris, and for her own salvation, it is my sacred duty to send this unholy demon back where she belongs! ''[lights the pyre and the crowd yells in protest against having Esmeralda die in fire]''
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[bellowing]'' '''''NO…!'''''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Archdeacon:''' ''[sternly]'' Frollo, have you gone mad?! I will not tolerate this assault on the House of God!
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Silence, you old fool! ''[tosses the Archdeacon aside]'' The Hunchback and I have unfinished business to attend to. And this time, you will ''not'' interfere. ''[closes and locks door]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[to Esmeralda]'' We've done it, Esmeralda; We've beaten them back! Come and see! ''[Esmeralda doesn't respond]'' Esmeralda, wake up. You're safe now. ''[worried]'' Esmeralda? ''[shocked]'' Oh, no. ''[tries giving Esmeralda water, but she doesn't wake up]'' ''[tearfully]'' Oh, no.
:''[Laverne closes the door and the Gargoyles leave to give Quasimodo an emotional moment as he cries, thinking Esmeralda died. Judge Claude Frollo, however, steps in, with a dagger behind his back and touches Quasimodo on his hump]''
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[whispers angrily]'' You killed her.
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' It was my duty. Horrible as it was, I hope you'll can forgive me. ''[Quasimodo hyperventilates]'' There, there, Quasimodo. I know it hurts. But now, the time has come to end your suffering...forever.
:''[as Judge Claude Frollo draws a dagger, and trying to kill him, Quasimodo notices his shadow and gasps in horror, so he grabs Judge Claude Frollo's right arm, and after a struggle, Quasimodo manages to snatch the dagger and bravely corners Judge Claude Frollo, angrily hyperventilating]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[nervously as Quasimodo advances on him]'' Now, now... Listen to me, Quasimodo.
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[about to yelling at Judge Claude Frollo]'' No! You listen! All my life, you have told me the world is a dark, cruel place. But now I see that the only thing dark ''[throws the dagger to the floor]'' and cruel about it is people like you!
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[off screen, weakly]'' Quasimodo?
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[relieved as he turns and sees Esmeralda is alive with the bed]'' Esmeralda!
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[upon realizing that Esmeralda had survived, and he was enraged]'' She lives. ''[draws his sword]''
:'''Quasimodo:''' <big>'''''NO!!!'''''</big> ''[as he grabs Esmeralda and runs out onto the balcony. Judge Claude Frollo follows, but when he gets outside, he sees nothing but gargoyles (including) Pumbaa the Warthog with a statue of the gargoyle). After looking left and right, he looks out over the edge and finds Quasimodo hanging there with Esmeralda]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Leaving so soon? ''[swings his sword, but Quasimodo dodges the blow by swinging to another spot, and misses. Down on the ground, the villagers and guards stop the fight to watch]''
:'''Villager:''' ''[points to Quasimodo, Esmeralda and Judge Claude Frollo fighting to the final battle at the balcony of the Cathedral]'' Look! Up there!
:''[Judge Claude Frollo goes to swings his sword again]''
:'''Quasimodo:''' Hang on! ''[as he swings off again, just narrowly missing Judge Claude Frollo's sword. Finally, Judge Claude Frollo is about to kill Esmeralda, but Quasimodo pushes her out of the way]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' I should have known you'd risk your life to save that gypsy witch! Just as your own mother died trying to save you.
:'''Quasimodo:''' ''[realizes what Judge Claude Frollo's saying about his mother's death; shocked and horrified]'' What?
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Now, I'm going to do what I should have done, 20 years ago! ''[furiously throws his cape over Quasimodo's face and tries to throw him down]''
:'''Quasimodo:''' Ohh! Ugh!
:''[And at the same time, Judge Claude Frollo also falls]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' Whoaaaaa! Oh!
:''[But Quasimodo holds Judge Claude Frollo's cape, and Esmeralda grabs Quasimodo. Judge Claude Frollo sees a gargoyle and swings to it and grabs it]''
:'''Esmeralda:''' ''[grunting]'' Hold on! Hold on!
:''[Quasimodo loses consciousness and drops Judge Claude Frollo's cape, as Judge Claude Frollo stands on top of the gargoyle and laughs evilly. He raises his sword, and trying to kill her]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' ''[His last words before his death]'' And he shall smite the wicked, and plunge them into the fiery pit!
:''[The gargoyle Judge Claude Frollo's standing on starts to collapse beneath him, and he drops his sword and grabs the gargoyle as it comes alive (the Cathedral was observing Judge Claude Frollo's action for 2 decades and finally had enough of him) and angrily roars thunderously at his face]''
:'''Lion:''' Roar!
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' <big>'''''NOOOOO!!!'''''</big>
:''[And he screams in horror as he falls into a sea of molten copper below along with the gargoyle still roaring at him]''
:'''Judge Claude Frollo:''' <big><big>'''''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!'''''</big></big>
:''[Finally killing him for good and ending his tyranny once and for all]''

: I can never join with my voice in the toast which I see in the papers attributed to one of our gallant naval heroes. I cannot ask of heaven success, even for my country, in a cause where she should be in the wrong. ''Fiat justitia, pereat coelum''. My toast would be, may our country always be successful, but whether successful or otherwise, always right. ~ [[John Quincy Adams]] (in response to [[Stephen Decatur]]'s famous phrase, "our country, right or wrong". The Latin phrase is an ancient one that can be translated as : "Let justice be done though heaven should fall.")

Ant: What are you bitching about?
== Others ==
* '''Weaver''': ''[to Z]'' Are you nuts?! You want me to switch places with you? Do you know how much trouble you can get into for even talkin' about impersonatin' a soldier? You can get in trouble just for ''listening'' to someone talkin' about impersonatin' a soldier! ''[Everyone who was listening in pretends to fall back asleep]''
* '''Barbatus''': ''[his last words to Z]'' Don't make my mistake, kid. Don't follow orders your whole life. Think for yourself.
* '''Muffy''': Darling, they're poor, they're dirty, they're smelly. We have to help them. ''[to Z and Bala]'' If you just wait right here, we'll get you a little something.
* '''Queen''': ''[to Mandible]'' General, we've been at peace with that colony for years. Why would they attack us?
* '''Psychologist''': Excellent. You’ve made a real breakthrough.
* '''Soldier Ants''': One. Two. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Twelve. Thirteen.
* '''Worker Ants''': ''[chanting]'' We want Z! We want Z!
* '''Chip''': ''[to Muffy]'' Ugh! Please, Muffy, not another crusade.
* '''Grebs''': ''[to Z]'' There is a better place, Insectopia.
* '''Princess Bala''': Labor? What do ''you'' know about labor? How would you feel if you were expected to give birth every ten seconds for the rest of your life?
* '''Colonel Cutter''': Time stands still for no ant.

:''[first lines]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': All my life, I've lived and worked in the big city, which now that I think of it, is kind of a problem since I always feel uncomfortable around crowds. I mean it, I-I have this fear of enclosed spaces. I-I-I, everything makes me feel trapped all the time. You know, I always tell myself, there's gotta be something better out there, but maybe I think too much. I-I-I think everything must go back to the fact that I had a very anxious childhood. You know, my, my mother never had time for me. You know, when you're - when you're the middle child in a family of five million, you don't get any attention. I mean, how's it possible? And I've always had these, these abandonment issues, which plagued me. My father was basically a drone like I've said, and, you know, the guy flew away when I was just a larva. And my job, don't get me started on, 'cause it really annoys me. I was not cut out to be a worker, I'll tell you right now. I-I-I feel physically inadequate. I, I, my whole life I've never, I've never been able to lift more than ten times my own body weight, And, and, when you get down to it, handling dirt is, you know, ew, is not my idea of a rewarding career. It's this whole gung-ho super-organism thing that, that, that I - you know, I can't get, I try but I don't get it. I mean, you know, I'm... What is it, I'm supposed to do everything for the colony, and, and what about my needs? What about me? I mean, I gotta believe there's someplace out there that's better than this! Otherwise, I'll just curl up in a larval position and weep! The whole system makes me feel... insignificant.
:'''Psychologist''': ''[to Z]'' Excellent. You’ve made a real breakthrough.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I have?
:'''Psychologist''': Yes, Z. You are insignificant.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I am?
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[the title card appears]''
:'''Man''': Ground floor.
:'''Ant''': Uh, worker. Soldier. Worker.
:'''Worker Ant''': Let's try it again. Firm grip. Swing hard. Back straight. Concentrate. Follow through.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Okay. I've got to keep a positive attitude. A good attitude, even though I'm utterly insignificant. ''[grabs an ax]'' I'm-I'm insignificant, um, but with attitude.
:'''Azteca''': Oh, sorry, Z. I didn't see you.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Great, Azteca. It's working already. I'm so meaningless, I'm invisible. ''[he tries to get the ax out]''
:'''Azteca''': ''[laughing]'' Now, you're getting it. ''[takes the ax out]'' After all, it's not about you. It's about us, the team. It's about this.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Uh, a giant hole in the ground?
:'''Foreman''': Okay, people. Are we feeling good?
:'''All''': Yeah!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yeah.
:'''Foreman''': Great! Now, R-1734 through Z-7829, you guys are on wrecking ball.
:'''Azteca''': You got it.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Swell. You got it.
:'''Worker Ant''': All right, swing time! Let's get physical!
:'''Worker Ant''': I love this job!
:'''Worker Ant''': Let's go!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Now, remember, Azteca, "Be the ball." That's the main thing. Now, remember that. You know, got to be one with the ball.
:'''Azteca''': Would you cut it out already? Jeez. I love my work. And you, well... You think too much. Come on, Z. Help us build a bigger, better colony. And, for crying out loud, try to be happy about it.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Sure, you know. ''[nervous chuckle]'' I mean, how could I possibly be unhappy being a piece of construction equipment?
:'''Foreman''': Okay, workers, remember.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Here it comes.
:'''Foreman''': Be the ball.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[groans]''
:'''Foreman''': Let the energy flow through you!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Grin and bear it. This is... This is for the colony. Ow! This is... This is just a lawsuit waiting to happen.
:'''Worker Ant''': Hang on, here we go!
:'''Worker Ant''': Faster!
:'''Worker Ant''': Higher!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Did I happen to mention that heights make me nauseous?
:'''Worker Ant''': No.
:'''Worker Ant''': This is a ball! Hey!
:'''Azteca''': Oh, Z.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yes. Yes. I understand. I dropped the ball.

:'''General Mandible''': ''[his first words]'' Workers. They're weak. They lack discipline. They lack commitment.
:'''Foreman''': ''[he comes in]'' General, I know there's been a glitch or two. But everybody is working full tilt as it is, and-
:'''General Mandible''': You can't help it, it's your nature. But in spite of your limitations, you are going to finish this tunnel on schedule. Come hell or high water. For now on, anyone who falls behind is going to have to explain themselves to Colonel Cutter. And let me assure you, the colonel is not as understanding as I am. Dismissed. Four more days, Cutter. Four more days. Then we can bid final farewell to their kind of incompetence.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Yes, sir.
:'''General Mandible''': A fresh start. Imagine it!
:'''Colonel Cutter''': A strong colony, sir. A colony we can be proud of.
:'''General Mandible''': Yes, but we're not there yet. Cutter, we just got word that a termite army has mobilized against us.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Against us?
:'''General Mandible''': We'll have to send troops deep into hostile territory to attack their colony.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Attack a termite colony, sir? That's suicide.
:'''General Mandible''': Exactly. Do you have the list I asked for?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Yes, General. ''[takes the list to General]'' These are the units loyal to the queen.
:'''General Mandible''': Hm. Then they're the ones we'll be sending. It's a shame. There's some fine officers here.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Don't we need the queen's approval to declare war?
:'''General Mandible''': Our very next stop, Cutter.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Queen''': General, we've been at peace with that colony for years. Why would they attack us?
:'''General Mandible''': They want our land. They're desperate for more foraging territory. Perhaps they think we've grown soft or weak.
:'''Queen''': Why don't we dispatch an ambassador, negotiate a new treaty? Certainly, we don't need to send soldiers.
:'''General Mandible''': Believe me. Every ant in this colony is so precious to me. That's why we must strike now, when we have the element of surprise. If the termite shock troops enter our colony, well...
:'''Queen''': Yes, General, I know what they can do to us. Very well.
:'''General Mandible''': You've made a wise decision. In fact, you've insured the future of this colony.
:'''Princess Bala''': Hello, General.
:'''General Mandible''': Princess Bala. What a nice surprise. You look lovelier each time I see you.
:'''Princess Bala''': Thanks. I hope you're not just here on business.
:'''General Mandible''': Oh, of course... ''[chuckling]'' ...of course not.
:'''Princess Bala''': Because, um, it might be nice if we had a conversation once before we get married.
:'''General Mandible''': You're absolutely right. Cutter, schedule some private time for me and Princess Bala.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Uh, in fact, sir, there is time right now for a personal moment. We're a few seconds ahead of schedule.
:'''General Mandible''': Excellent. Princess.
:'''Princess Bala''': Well, a few seconds isn't much, but I guess if it's quality time. So, how was your day? Anything interesting happen?
:'''General Mandible''': We declared war.
:'''Princess Bala''': Declared war? Boy, talk about a rough day.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Sir, I hate to interrupt, but time stands still for no ant.
:'''General Mandible''': Princess.
:'''Princess Bala''': Mom, could you remind me, why am I marrying this guy?
:'''Queen''': Bala, do we have to argue about this again?
:'''Princess Bala''': We don't seem to have anything in common. The guy's a stiff.
:'''Queen''': Yes, darling. I know the general may be a little gruff and somewhat overbearing at times, but I know that he cares about you. He's just not particulary good at showing it. But you should have seen how persistently he asked for your hand in marriage.
:'''Princess Bala''': But why me?
:'''Queen''': Because you're the one who has to continue my work. It's your place, dear.
:'''Princess Bala''': What if they don't like my place?
:'''Queen''': Everyone has their place, Bala, you, the soldiers, the workers. Now, it's not all that bad being princess, is it? Would you prefer to be carting dirt all day?
:'''Princess Bala''': Mother, don't be so dramatic. At least, they seem to have some fun every now and then.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Bartender''': Two aphid beers.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Why'd I have to be born a worker? Soldiers get all the glory, plus you get to go out in the world. You meet interesting insects, you get to kill them.
:'''Weaver''': Yeah. But you get to spend all day with those beautiful worker girls.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Weaver, they're career girls. They're obsessed with digging. ''[sighs]'' I don't think I'm ever gonna meet the right girl for me.
:'''Weaver''': ''[to Z]'' Who said a girl for you? I was talking about a girl for me. Don't you want your aphid beer?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Call me crazy, but... ''[clears throat]'' I have a thing about drinking from the anus of another creature. Okay?
:'''Weaver''': Suit yourself. Ah, me,? I'm cutting a lose. We got a royal inspection coming up.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Inspection, meaning you're gonna stand around like an idiot while a bunch of blue bloods smirk at you. I don't know how you put up with it, Weaver.
:'''Weaver''': Z, I've known you for a long time. Right?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Definitely. You were born two seconds after me.
:'''Weaver''': Yeah, and ever since we were little, I've been listening to you complain. What are you b*tching about? In case you haven't noticed, we ants are running the show! We're the lords of the earth!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Hey, don't talk to me about earth, okay? 'Cause I just spent all day hauling it around. ''[he sighs]'' There's just got to be a better place.
:'''Grebs''': There is. I've been there.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I'm sorry. Were you talking to me?
:'''Grebs''': There is a better place, Insectopia.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh, really. Lunatic at 3:00.
:'''Grebs''': You can't understand until you go there and see it yourself. You can be your own ant there. The streets are paved with food. Nobody tellin' you what to do. No wars. No colony. I shoulda never left.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[chuckling]'' Oh, yeah. Fascinating.
:'''Grebs''': We were on a long-range recon. I got cut off from my unit.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Nothing like post-traumatic stress disorder to make your day complete.
:'''Grebs''': Then I saw it, Insectopia!
:'''Worker Ant #1''': Hey!
:'''Grebs''': You head towards the monolith. Ten clicks past the great canyons to the land of red and white.
:'''Guard Ant #1''': ''[takes Grebs]'' Hey, gramps. You've had enough for one tonight. Come on. Before you get in trouble.
:'''Grebs''': Head for the monolith. Listen to me! The monolith!
:'''Weaver''': ''[chuckling]'' That guy's got a screw loose.
:'''Grebs''': Cross the lake!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Insectopia. ''[he scoffs]'' Wouldn't it be great if it were that easy?
:'''Weaver''': ''[chuckling]'' Yeah. Dream on, Z.
:'''Grebs''': Cross the lake! Look for the land of red and white.
:''[Bala sneaks into the bar with two handmaidens]''
:'''Princess Bala''': ''[excited]'' Wow...This is so...''gritty!''
:'''Handmaiden #1''': Ten minutes and we're out of here, right? I mean, this place is off limits.
:'''Princess Bala''': Just blame it on me. Say it was all my idea.
:'''Handmaiden #2''': It ''is'' all your idea!
:'''Princess Bala''': ''[removes her crown]'' Besides, no one's gonna recognize us. Come on, girls, what do you say? Let's take a walk on the wild side.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Man''': ''[on loud speaker]'' Okay, everybody. 6:15. Time to dance.
:'''Weaver''': ''[to Z]'' Time to cut a rug, Z.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh, no. That's okay. I'm gonna leave the rug just the way it is, Weaver.
:'''Princess Bala''': ''[to her handmaidens]'' Step back, ladies. I'm gonna ask one of these workers to dance with me.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[watching the other ants dance in unison]'' What a bunch of losers. Mindless zombies capitulating to an oppressive system-
:'''Princess Bala''': Hi. Wanna dance?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[upon turning to see her]'' Absolutely!
:'''Princess Bala''': Follow me.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[as they step onto the dance floor]'' So, how come I haven't seen you around here before?
:'''Princess Bala''': Oh, I don't get out much. I, uh...I work over at the palace.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': The palace, huh? I bet those royals really live it up. ''[secretively]'' Of course, they're all a little, you know, from inbreeding.
:'''Princess Bala''': ''What?''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yowch! Ya-Ya... Yowch! Yowch. Yowch.
:'''Princess Bala''': What on earth are you doing?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Well, actually, to tell you the truth, I'm sort of making it up.
:'''Princess Bala''': Really?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': You know. Why does everybody have to dance the same way? You know, that's completely boring. It's... It's monotonous.
:'''Princess Bala''': It's no fun.
:'''Bar Guy''': Hey. Watch your step, worker.
:'''Princess Bala''': You watch yours, buddy, or you'll be in big trouble.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': That's okay. I'll... I'm gonna let him off this time. What? Are you crazy? This guy's built like a pebble.
:'''Princess Bala''': Aren't you even gonna defend yourself?
:'''Bar Guy''': Hey, buddy. Get back in place.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Me? Uh... Uh...
:'''Princess Bala''': What if he doesn't want to?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[clears throat]'' Yeah. What if I don't like my place?
:'''Bar Guy''': What's he talking about?
:'''Bar Guy''': We got us a troublemaker.
:'''Bar Guy''': Buckle up, Spanky. This one goes out to all the lazy workers.
:'''Weaver''': You ought to watch that aggressive behavior, buddy.
:'''Bar Guy''': He's just a worker.
:'''Handmaiden #1''': Princess Bala! Princess Bala! The guards are coming.
:'''Princess Bala''': Let's get outta here.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Wait! Princess? You're a princess?
:'''Princess Bala''': Uh, I gotta go.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': When can I see you again?
:'''Princess Bala''': Let me think. Never. ''[kisses Z]'' Bye.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': No. Wait.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[singing]'' What a day it has been, what a rare mood I'm in. Why, it's almost like being in love. There's a smile.
:'''Azteca''': Huh?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[continues singing]'' On my face for the whole insect race. Why, it's almost like being in love. Yowch.
:'''Bartender''': ''[to Z]'' Can I get you another one, pal?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[sighing]'' No, thanks. I think I'm gonna go.
:'''Bartender''': Yeah. I don't blame you. It's always slow in here the night before one of those royal reviews. I guess soldiers need their shut-eye before they meet the queen. I don't blame ya.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': That's it!
:'''Bartender''': You know, I was once... See ya.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Psst. Weaver. I figured it out. Weaver. Weaver.
:'''Weaver''': What? What? ''[clears throat]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I got a great idea. You gotta switch places with me. Let me go to the inspection instead of you.
:'''Weaver''': What time is it?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Weaver. The royal family will be there. This is the only way I can see her.
:'''Weaver''': See who?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Princess Bala.
:'''Weaver''': ''[getting out of bed]'' Are you nuts? You want me to switch places with you? Do you know how much trouble you can get into for even talking about impersonating a soldier? You can get in trouble just for listening to someone talking about impersonating a soldier!
:''[Everyone who was listening in pretends to fall back asleep]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': You have to help me. If I can't see her again, my life is just not worth living. Please, Weaver, ''please''. Switch jobs with me just, you know, for a day. Think of all the things I've done for you.
:'''Weaver''': ''[pauses]'' Hm. I can't think of any.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Okay, so think of all the things that I'm ''gonna'' do for you!
:'''Weaver''': ''[glances around, then leans in secretively]'' Would I meet some worker girls?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Are you kidding? They always go after the new guy! It's like a sport for them! And believe me, they will definitely go for an adorable little insect like you.
:'''Weaver''': Mmm.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Weaver, I... I have to see her again.
:'''Weaver''': Z, what kind of chance do you have with a princess? I mean, she probably won't even remember you.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[sighs]'' I... I know it sounds nuts, but I have to try.
:'''Weaver''': Oh, boy. ''[he exhales]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Princess, fancy meeting you here. What do you say we lose this crowd? Oh, me? You know, I... I wear many hats. I guess you'd have to call me a Renaissance ant.
:'''Man''': Eyes right!
:'''General Mandible''': Beautiful. Just beautiful.
:'''Princess Bala''': Mm.
:'''General Mandible''': The precision. The order.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Princess Bala! Princess Bala! Hey. It's me. Remember Z from the bar? Princess Bala! Princess Bala! Princess...
:'''Queen''': Bala, you must encourage the troops. Wave.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh. She sees me. Excuse me, guys. I... Sorry. I just got a better offer. Could you excuse me?
:'''Soldier Ant''': Company halt!
:''[they all leave]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Princess. Princess Bala!
:'''Soldier Ant''': Quiet there! Get back in rank.
:'''Barbatus''': You new, kid?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh, yes, but I'm getting out soon. I got a trial membership.
:'''Barbatus''': Trial membership. ''[chuckling]'' That's a good one! Name's Barbatus.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Z.
:'''Man''': Right face!
:'''Barbatus''': Psst.
:'''General Mandible''': Sacrifice. To some, it is just a word. To others, it is a code.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Jeez. I'm really bad at word games.
:'''General Mandible''': A solider knows that the life of an individual ant doesn't matter. What matters is the colony. He's willing to live for the colony, to fight for the colony, to die for the colony.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': This guy's crazy.
:'''Barbatus''': I hear ya.
:'''General Mandible''': At 0800 hours, we received word that the termite enemy has mobilized. We have no choice but to launch a preemptive strike. You are the queen's finest. I know you will all do you duty. I am proud to send you into battle.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Into... I'm sorry-I'm sorry, into battle?
:'''General Mandible''': Dismissed.
:'''Man''': Left face! Forward march!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Talk to me. You know, I think there's been a terrible mistake. ''[being shipped off to battle]'' You know, the truth is I just... I just came for the speech.
:'''Barbatus''': Don't worry, kid. I'll watch out for ya.
:'''Ant''': Sound off.
:'''Soldier Ant''': One.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Two.
:'''Ant''': Sound off.
:'''Barbatus''': Three.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Huh?
:'''Ant''': Sound off.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Five.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Six.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Seven.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Eight.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Nine.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Ten.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Eleven.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Twelve.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Thirteen.
:'''Soldier Ant''': ''[singing]'' The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah!
:'''All''': ''[singing]'' We slaughter termites just for fun, hurrah, hurrah!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': So these termites, they're, they're pushovers, right?
:'''Barbatus''': Not really, kid. They're five times our size, and they shoot acid from their foreheads.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Huh?! ''[stops marching, gaping in disbelief]''
:'''Soldier Ant''': ''[gives Z a shove from behind]'' Hey! Keep it movin', shorty!
:''[Later, as the ant army is marching towards the termites' nest]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': So, what exactly does our platoon do? Are we gonna be serving beverages, or processing paperwork?
:'''Barbatus''': Our platoon has the best assignment of all. We're the first into battle.
:''[They marched up the termites' nest]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[panicked]'' Hey, wait a minute, let's not get...we're being too hasty here! These guys sound like ''bruisers!'' Just how were you figuring on beating them?!
:'''Barbatus''': Superior numbers, kid. Overwhelm their defenses, and kill their queen.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[stammering]'' I, um...Hey, fellas, that's...you're being a little extreme, I feel. Why don't...Why don't we just try and influence their political process with campaign contributions?
:'''Barbatus''': ''[laughing]'' I like you, kid. You got a sense of humor!
:'''Ant Officer''': '''FORWARD!!'''
:'''Barbatus''': Come on! Let's kick some termite butt!
:'''Soldier Ant''': '''OVER THE TOP!!!'''
:'''Soldier Ant''': Where is everyone?
:'''Soldier Ant''': Something's not right.
:'''Barbatus''': Don't be scared, kid.
:'''Ant Officer''': '''ATTACK!!!'''
:'''Soldier Ant''': Come on.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Barbatus, you saved my life.
:'''Barbatus''': Ah, don't get all sappy about it.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Hey, guys. Look out behind you! Hey... Hey, guys. Can somebody help me here? Can anybody... Hey.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Weaver''': Yeah. ''[he breaks the wall]'' Okay, mama. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Big guy comin' through. Love it.
:'''Azteca''': Hey. Hey. Hey. Take it easy, muscles. You're makin' the rest of us look bad. What happened to Z?
:'''Weaver''': He's takin' a personal day, so I'm fillin' in.
:'''Azteca''': ''[admiring]'' You fill in any more, and you'll explode.
:'''Azteca''': Eh, you got a problem?
:'''Weaver''': No, uh, uh... Nobody told me digging was so much fun. You know, you pick the dirt up. You move it. You pick it up again. You move it again. Lots of reps. You exercise the arms and the thorax.
:'''Azteca''': Yes, I... I see what you mean.
:'''Foreman''': Um. Yeah. That is fascinating.
:'''Weaver''': Sorry, sir. I was just havin' a chat with my friend, sir.
:'''Foreman''': You know, I just had a chat with General Mandible. Anybody who doesn't meet his quota is going to be downsized.
:'''Azteca''': Come on. Cut him a break. He's new.
:'''Foreman''': Hey. What do you say we help your attitude a little bit by taking away your rations for the day. Thanks for your time.
:'''Azteca''': I don't know what came over me. Talking back like that. ''[he starts cutting]'' I must be losin' it.
:'''Weaver''': Sorry I got you in trouble. But, listen, you can share my rations. Whoa. If you want.
:'''Azteca''': ''[guards the ax]'' Are you askin' me out to dinner?
:'''Weaver''': ''[chuckles]'' Oh, no. I... Well, if you don't have anything else planned.
:'''Azteca''': ''[laughing]'' I'll check my calendar. You know, I'm kinda glad Z's takin' a breather.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Outside, Z emerged and saw the blood bath he saw. All of the ants and termites were all dead.]''
:'''Barbatus''': ''[to Z]'' Kid! Kid, over here.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Barbatus.
:'''Barbatus''': Be honest, kid. Am I hurt bad?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': N-No. N-Not at all. You're... Actually, you're lookin' terrific. You got, you know, swell color in your cheeks.
:'''Barbatus''': No. I can see it in your eyes. I'm a goner. Help me up, Z. ''[sniffing]'' I can't feel my legs.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': You gotta hang in there, buddy. You know. I know you're gonna make it. Just take... take deep breaths. Because I'm gonna try and find your body. It's bound to be out there somewhere. ''[to Barbatus]'' Barbatus, hang on. B-Barbatus.
:'''Barbatus''': Don't make my mistake, kid. Don't follow orders your whole life. Think for yourself.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Barbatus.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Colonel Cutter''': We're on schedule. Work is completed on "A" section sir, including a path through "D" section now.
:'''General Mandible''': We need to push harder, Cutter. I want double shifts around-the-clock. We can't afford to let up. Is that clear?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Crystal, sir.
:'''General Mandible''': Good. What about section...
:'''Guard Ant''': ''[he comes in]'' Excuse me, sir.
:'''General Mandible''': This had better be important.
:'''Guard Ant''': Well, it's about the termite battle, sir. The enemy was destroyed, but I'm afraid it was a disaster for our troops, as well.
:'''General Mandible''': Well, that's terrible. Terrible.
:'''Guard Ant''': There is a better good news, sir. One soldier did make it back.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': No kidding.
:'''General Mandible''': What did you say?
:'''Guard Ant''': Word is spreading through the colony. The queen requested a meeting with the war hero.
:'''General Mandible''': ''[on hearing that one soldier survived the battle with the termites]'' Damn! ''[covering his true feelings]'' Good. damn good. Uh, I'll handle this. ''[he walks to Z and Ant]'' Congratulations, soldier. ''[chuckling]'' Well, you're a little short for a war hero, aren't you?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': A war hero? Sir. I-I don't actually think that I'm a hero.
:'''General Mandible''': ''[takes Z]'' Good. I don't like heroes.
:''[the worker ants cheers]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': But, sir. You don't understand. I... I didn't do anything. I mean, it was all horrible. It was just a massacre. A-A massacre upon a massacre.
:'''General Mandible''': ''[to Z]'' That's good, soldier. Now, wave.
:''[the worker ants cheering, Z waves his arm, the worker ants continue cheering]''
:'''Azteca''': There was nothing you could do, Weaver. You didn't know they were going to war.
:'''Weaver''': I just feel horrible. Poor Z. I should have never let him go.
:'''Azteca''': Wait a minute. That's no soldier. That's Z!
:'''Weaver''': Z? The little guy made it! ''[he chuckles]''
:'''General Mandible''': Let's go, soldier.
:''[the worker ants cheering]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''General Mandible''': As I was saying, son, you are an ant after my own heart. An ant that looks death in the face and laughs.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Well, actually, the truth is, I-I generally just make belittling comments, and snicker behind death's back. ''[chuckling]''
:'''Queen''': General Mandible.
:'''General Mandible''': ''[to Z]'' Keep your comments to yourself. Let me do the talking. May I present Her Majesty the Queen.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Charmed. Charmed.
:'''General Mandible''': And the royal Princess Bala.
:'''Queen''': Welcome home, soldier. We cannot begin to express our gratitude for your heroic efforts.
:'''General Mandible''': The private has asked me to convey his most humble appreciation.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Please. Please. It was nothing really. Just your average run-of-the-mill valor, and extraordinary courageousness, you know. In the heat of battle, there's very little time to think. One must attack! Attack! Attack! ''[chuckling]''
:'''General Mandible''': Well, indeed. As you can see, Your Highness, the battlefield is still fresh in his mind. So, begging your pardon, but this is the perfect time to debrief the private.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh, please, General. Not on our first date. ''[chuckling]'' Not on our first date.
:'''Princess Bala''': Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[recognizing his line from the night before]'' Well, maybe. ''[takes the hat off]'' Then again, maybe not. And then... then again. Yowch.
:'''Princess Bala''': That's it! You're the guy from the bar.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Don't... Shh.
:'''Queen''': Bar? What bar?
:'''Princess Bala''': I danced with this guy at the bar the other night. He was just a worker then.
:'''Queen''': What were you doing at a bar?
:'''General Mandible''': Precisely what I want to know.
:'''Princess Bala''': No. This isn't about me. I mean, look at this worker. Look what he's done.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I think you're thinkin' of someone else. ''[puts the hat back on]'' After all, I am a soldier.
:'''Princess Bala''': Exactly. You were a worker. But now, you're a war hero.
:'''Queen''': He's a worker?
:'''General Mandible''': A worker danced with my fiancee?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': F-Fiancee? W-W-Wait a minute. This is not how it looks. I can explain this. This... Hey. She was the one making all the moves.
:'''General Mandible''': Arrest him.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': H-Hey wait a minute. Take it easy. Can't we discuss this?
:'''Queen''': What are you doing? Let go of my daughter. He's taking her hostage!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': No. No. No. I'm not. I mean, yes, yes, I am. One more step and then the princess gets it.
:'''Princess Bala''': Let go of me! ''[hits Z]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Ow! Don't make me hurt her!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Princess Bala''': What are you doing, you creep? Are you out of your puny little mind?
:'''Guard Ant''': There they are down there! Let's go! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move!
:'''Princess Bala''': Oh, good. Here they come to rescue me and kill you.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Kill?
:'''Princess Bala''': Hey, you guys!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[to Bala]'' Stop it! Stop it. What are you tryin' to do?
:'''Princess Bala''': Get off me, you little twerp!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Wait a minute. What do you want to do? Throw away everything you got?
:'''Princess Bala''': Oh, hey! ''[punches Z]'' What're you waiting for? Hello! Guys!
:'''Guard Ant''': Huh?
:'''Guard Ant''': What is it?
:'''Ridgeway''': It's beautiful.
:'''Guard Ant''': Ridgeway, get out of there!
:''[?]''
:''[Z and Bala both sigh when they escape from the magnifying glass, and hide in the "wilderness"]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh, don't worry. I'm okay.
:'''Princess Bala''': ''You?!'' ''You're'' okay?! Hey, who cares about you?! I almost died here!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Will you please calm down? You're not going to let a little near-death experience ruin your mood, are you?
:'''Princess Bala''': Hey, this is not a mood. Okay? You're not listening to me. Where am I? ''[the praying mantis snores soundly, as the birds chirp in the background]'' Look, what's your name. Just climb up that tree, and find out where I am.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Look, th-the trick is not to panic. You know, h-h-he w-who panics is lost. Aw...What am I saying? I mean, we are lost. ''[climbs up a stem of a thistle plant, but it droops over downwards towards Bala]'' Whoa! Whoa! ''[Bala gasps; he grins and chuckles sarcastically at Bala, but the thistle part of the plant breaks off of the thistle plant, and falls to the ground, with Z holding on to it]'' Ow!
:'''Princess Bala''': ''[to herself]'' I've been kidnapped by the village idiot.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Who's the bigger idiot? ''[gets up, as he plucks the thistle thorns off of his body]'' The idiot, or the idiot who gets kidnapped by the idiot?
:'''Princess Bala''': What'd you do? ''Talk'' those termites to death? I can't believe you tried to pass yourself off as a soldier. Why are you stalking me? Don't you realize that I'm...out of your league?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''You're'' the one who was cruising the worker bar looking for a little action! And you just happened to find it - the swarthy, earthy, sensual worker.
:'''Princess Bala''': Please. I was slumming it. Don't you get it? I chose you because you were the most pathetic little bug in the joint.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': You know, I was gonna let you become part of my most erotic fantasies. But now, you can just forget that! Write it off, you know? I-I guess what you prefer is Old Blood and Guts! This guy's idea of a romantic night out is two seats at a public execution! Boy. You ''really'' chose the right husband. ''[climbs up a spiked stem of a rose]''
:'''Princess Bala''': For your information, the General and I are deeply, deeply in...engaged! You come right back down here this instant! We are marching straight back to the colony, so that I can go straight back to the palace, and tell my mother...
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[moves some of the rose's leaves out of his way with his hand, and sees the "monolith" (a drinking fountain) in the distance, the first of the series of landmarks on the way to Insectopia that Grebs told him about]'' The monolith!
:'''Princess Bala''': ...and you can go back to your stupid little buggy bar!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Absolutely. Wonderful. ''[climbs back down the rose's spiked stem towards Bala, who is standing on the ground]'' That's an appealing offer. But, considering the options, ''you'' go back. Okay? 'Cause I'm going to Insectopia.
:'''Princess Bala''': Oh, come on! Insectopia? You're crazier than I thought.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yeah? Well, I happen to have it on a very reliable source. ''[clears his throat]'' Or...Or should I say, a drunk, raving source? But the point is, I'm convinced the place definitely exists! ''[heads on towards the monolith]''
:'''Princess Bala''': Stop! I ''order'' you to stop, worker!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Hey! I got a name, okay?! It's Z! And out here, you can't order me around! ''[continues walking on]''
:'''Princess Bala''': All right! Fine! No problem! Grr! ''[goes the opposite direction of Z, but suddenly, the ground underneath her starts to shake and rise, and she finds herself on the back of a praying mantis, who turns and gnashes its jaws at her. She gasps, and then runs after Z in terror]'' Worker! Worker, where are you?! Z?! Z, wait for me!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Cutter watches, as the Queen tells Mandible that she wants Bala back]''
:'''Queen''': No more excuses, General. I want my daughter back. Frankly, I'm beginning to doubt your ability to handle this.
:'''General Mandible''': Believe me, Your Highness, we will spare no effort to bring her back. Princess Bala is essential to all our plans for the future.
:'''Worker Ant''': So he kills himself a hundred termites, gets a few medals, then bada-ding, bada-bip, bags himself the princess.
:'''Worker Ant''': He looks dead in the eye...
:'''Worker Ant''': And says, "Bite me."
:'''Female Ant''': He said that to General Mandible?
:'''Worker Ant''': Buddy. Hey, hey, buddy. You heard about the war hero named Z? Runs off the the princess, right? When they sent the guards after him, he just looks at 'em and boom! They burst into flames.
:'''Weaver''': Z? ''[chuckling]'' You talkin' about Z? Hey, I know the guy. He's a friend of mine. I think your information...
:'''Worker Ant''': You know Z?
:'''Weaver''': Yeah. He's a worker. He used to dig around here.
:'''Worker Ant''': A worker? That's impossible. A worker can't do anything, except work.
:'''Female Ant''': Yeah. It's not like we got a choice.
:'''Azteca''': We do have a choice. Uh, I mean, look at Z. He decided he wanted something, and he went for it.
:'''Weaver''': He's not alone. I used to be a soldier, and I switched places with him.
:'''Worker Ant''': Wait a second. You're tellin' me, I don't have to be here?
:'''Female Ant''': We've got a choice?
:'''Worker Ant''': The authorities don't want you to know, but we don't have to work on the tunnel any more.
:'''Worker Ant''': It's the workers who control the means of production.
:'''Worker Ant''': If Z don't dig, I don't dig.
:'''Foreman''': People, what is this? An encounter group? Let's get back to work.
:'''Worker Ant''': Why?
:'''Worker Ant''': ...on the tunnel anymore! This guy, Z, he's leadin' the revolution!
:'''Foreman''': I'll get back to you.
:''[the worker ants chattering]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Princess Bala''': Think about it, Z, two ants. Who ever heard of two ants? Two million ants, maybe. But two? Look, I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, and this whole desert thing? It just doesn't work for me.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yada, yada, yada.
:'''Princess Bala''': I think it's about time to take me back.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Take yourself back. ''[he scoffs]''
:'''Princess Bala''': Excuse me. You kidnapped me, remember? That means you have certain responsibilities. You can't just abandon me here in the wilderness.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yeah, well, it's better than being back at the colony.
:'''Princess Bala''': You're not serious, are you?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Maybe you were living the high life, but personally, this beats digging. If you'd ever done a day's labor you'd know what I was talking about.
:'''Princess Bala''': Labor? What do you know about labor? How would you feel if you were expected to give birth every ten seconds for the rest of your life?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Gee.
:'''Princess Bala''': Water! All you think about is yourself.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yeah? Well, nobody else ever thought about me. So as far as I'm concerned, I don't need anybody else.
:''[A water droplet landed next to them. Bala looked and saw Z was trapped in a water drop.]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[in a water drop]'' Help! Help me, Bala! Help! B-B-B-B-Bala!
:'''Princess Bala''': Hold on, I'll get you out. Hold on.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Help, Ba...
:''[Bala looked down to see that she can push the droplet down the leaf. She pushed but she end up getting absorbed into the droplet, It rolled down and splashed onto the ground.]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Thanks.
:'''Princess Bala''': Don't mention it. Now, maybe we can put this fantasy behind us, and head back to the colon... Oh, Z! What are you doing?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[gets in the boat]'' We've got to cross the lake.
:'''Princess Bala''': Am I missing something here? Didn't we just get out of the water?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[grabs a stick]'' Bala, look, what have you got to lose? I mean, think about it. Do you really want to be Mrs. Raving Lunatic? There's a better place.
:'''Princess Bala''': Z, please.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Just gimme one chance. If we don't find Insectopia soon, I promise I'll take you back to the colony. ''[puts his hand out, then Bala gets in, then Z rows to go to Insectopia]''
:'''Princess Bala''': I hope you know what you're doing.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yeah, me too.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''All''': ''[chanting]'' We want Z! We want Z!
:'''Foreman''': People, come on. I know some ants who aren't gonna make their quota.
:'''Worker Ant''': Buzz off, pawn of the oppressor.
:'''All''': ''[continues chanting]'' We want Z! We want Z!
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Sorry, sir. I came as soon as I heard. I was debriefing the trackers.
:'''General Mandible''': And? What's the report?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Well, this Z, sir. He's one slippery character. They lost Bala's trail at the edge of the lake.
:'''General Mandible''': The lake?
:'''All''': ''[singing]'' All we are saying is give Z a chance.
:'''General Mandible''': What's that soldier doing there?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': It appears he's holding hands, sir, with a worker.
:'''General Mandible''': I don't like the way things are going, Cutter. I'm counting on you for results. Now, can I depend on you or not?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Yes, sir.
:'''General Mandible''': All right, then. Let's wrap this up.
:'''All''': ''[continues chanting]'' We want Z! We want Z! We want Z!
:'''General Mandible''': I've heard a lot about this Z. I even had the pleasure of meeting him once. But where is he know? Can anyone point him out? I mean, if this Z cares so much about us, then why isn't he here? I'll tell you why. Because Z doesn't give a damn about us. That's why he kidnapped our princess. That's why he ran away. Z is no hero. We are the heroes. We are the ones ensuring the future of our great colony. And when we've completed this magnificent structure, we will reap the benefits: more food and less work for everyone. And as further reward for your heroic efforts, each and every one of you will get the day off... so you can be the guests of honor at the MegaTunnel dedication ceremonies!
:''[the ants cheering]''
:'''Foreman''': Mandible! Mandible!
:'''All''': ''[chanting]'' Mandible! Mandible! Mandible! Mandible!
:'''General Mandible''': Now bring me that soldier.

:''[The morning came and Bala woke up to see Z still sleeping. She heads off to see if there is any sign of Insectopia. She looked over the grass and notice something.]''
:'''Princess Bala''': Oh, my God! Z! Come here!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': It's Insectopia!
:'''Princess Bala''': You were right. It really is here.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Huh?
:'''Princess Bala''': All right. All right! You're a genius.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Let's eat.
:''[Z has been trying to feast on a sandwich at a picnic, only to be blocked by the clingfilm it's wrapped in]''
:'''Princess Bala''': Well, what's the problem?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': There's some kind of force-field! ''[above them, two wasps, Chip and Muffy, arrive]'' Uh, excuse me? Excuse me? How...How do you get in?
:'''Chip''': ''[flying down to them]'' Yes, yes, well, I'm afraid this is a ''private'' function.
:'''Muffy''': Who are your friends, dear?
:'''Chip''': ''Crawling'' insects, poopsie.
:'''Muffy''': Oh, the poor dears. ''[to Z and Bala, slowly]'' Uh, good...morning!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Huh?
:'''Chip''': Darling, really? Greeting every insect that emerges out of the grass?
:'''Princess Bala''': Pardon me? I guess you don't recognize me! ''[the wasps land in front of them]'' I've been travelling, and I'm all...schlumpy. I'm Princess Bala.
:'''Chip''': Oh! ''[to Muffy]'' It's even worse. They're Eurotrash!
:'''Muffy''': Darling, they're poor, they're dirty, they're smelly. We have to help them. ''[leaning down, to Z and Bala]'' If you just wait right here, we'll get you a little something.
:'''Chip''': Ugh! Please, Muffy, not ''another'' crusade.
:'''Muffy''': Chippy, we have a social obligation to the less fortunate. ''[Chip rolls his eyes]'' I know you laugh at my hobbies, but this is ''important'' to me!
:''[Z and Bala flinch as she stamps in frustration]''
:'''Chip''': Hm. You have such a big heart. That's why you're my little cuddly-widdles...!
:'''Muffy''': Oh, my big strong pheromone factory...!
:''[The wasps start kissing in an exaggerated manner]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh, brother. Suddenly I've lost my appetite. You know... I guess I had imagined Insectopia... I don't know, a little differently.
:''[A massive flyswatter came down on them, Z and Bala dodged in time in one of its holes as it lifted up in the air. Looking over, Bala gasped in horror when she and Z saw that the flyswatter had killed Muffy.]''

:'''Princess Bala''': Oh, no.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Look out!
:'''Princess Bala''': Z, help me! Z! Don't let me... Don't let me go, Z. Get me out of here!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Bala! Whoa, this is not good. Whoa! Hi.
:'''Princess Bala''': Z?

:''[Weaver is beaten up by soldiers in Mandible's office]''

:'''Weaver''': I ain't tellin' you nothin'.
:'''General Mandible''': Soldier, the princess is vital to the future of this colony. She must be returned to take their place as queen.
:'''Weaver''': We already have a queen.
:'''General Mandible''': As for your friend, Z, why should I hurt him? ''[chuckling]'' He's not important. Now, soldier, we all know that one individual ant doesn't matter. Not you, not Cutter... not even her.

:'''Weaver''': I don't know where he is!
:'''General Mandible''': Hmm. That's too bad.
:''[He nods to the soldiers holding Azteca; one closes in on her, and she is heard crying out in pain]''
:'''Weaver''': Wait! Insectopia! I know it sounds crazy, but that's where he'd be going!
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Soldier, you think this is a game? Insectopia does not exist.
:'''General Mandible''': As a matter of fact... it does.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Sir?
:'''General Mandible''': I'll brief you on the coordinates. You're gonna bring the princess back. And as for Z... kill him.
:''[Azteca looks horrified]''
:'''Weaver''': But you said he didn't matter!
:'''General Mandible''': It's for the good of the colony. You made the right decision. Gentlemen, now you can see how dangerous individualism can be. It makes us vulnerable.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Let's go.
:'''General Mandible''': Take him back to the MegaTunnel. Put him on the front line. Dismissed.

:'''Z Marion-4195''': Jeez, what was I thinking? I almost got you killed.
:'''Princess Bala''': Z, you know, you really shouldn't be so hard on...

:'''Princess Bala''': Z?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': But you know what? I can admit it when I'm wrong.
:'''Princess Bala''': Z.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': And this time, I gotta tell ya, I was absolutely 100% correct. Have... Have you ever seen anything more beautiful in your life?

:'''Princess Bala''': ''[moved and saddened]'' I never knew it was like that. I mean, up in the palace...Well, I guess we just let the General make all the decisions.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Let me ask you something - what made you come to the bar that night?
:'''Princess Bala''' : I guess I was looking for a little trouble.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Well, trouble's my middle name. Actually, my middle name is Marion, but, uh, I don't want you spreading that around.
:'''Princess Bala''': ''[chuckles]'' You're pretty strange. You do know that, don't you?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Well, ''[clears throat]'' "strange" is...not exactly the word ''I'' would use, you know-
:'''Princess Bala''': ''[smiling]'' I like it. You're not like anyone else.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[stammering]'' Actually, now that you mention it, I...there is a certain strangeness to me. I mean, it's a...you know, kind of a bizarre quality. Some have said "freak". But it's, uh, you know, complimentary.

:''[Bala shrugs disappointedly]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I'll be right back. Just hold that thought - whatever...whatever it is you were thinking. ''[to the other bugs, as he leaves]'' Hey, you ever wonder why they call you guys "''pests''"?

:'''Bug''': Aloha, dude. Welcome to Insec...
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Sorry for interrupting. You see, our princess has, uh, gone missing, and we're just sick about it. She's about yea tall, fairly easy... ''[pause]'' ...on the eyes. Anybody seen her?
:'''Bug''': That's her.
:''[All of the bugs pointed at Bala who tried to get away.]''

:'''Princess Bala''': Listen, Cutter, I'm... I'm not going back.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': ''[sighs]'' The thing is, Princess, I got orders.
:'''Princess Bala''': Orders? Can't you just once think for yourself?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Well, that was very impressive. Where's Z?
:'''Bug''': Z? He's, uh...
:'''Princess Bala''': Dead. Z's dead. You don't need to worry about him.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Z's dead. Well, he was an ant with ideas. Too bad for him. Princess, your colony needs you.

:'''Z Marion-4195''': Bala! Stop, you... Oh, no. ''[muttering]'' What am I gonna do? All right, look. Let's be rational about this. You know, Bala and I, you know, she's a princess, and I'm a... I'm a soil-relocation engineer. So wha... You're no... Whew! On the other hand, uh, I've gotta go back for her.

:'''Guard Ant''': Yes, sir.
:'''Princess Bala''': Not afterwards. Now. I don't like the way you think and I don't like the way you run this colony. And I don't like you. The wedding is off. Things are going to change around here.
:'''General Mandible''': You're right, Princess. Things are going to change. Why don't we make her more comfortable? She'll be here for a while.
:'''Princess Bala''': What do you think you're doing? My mother will have your head.
:'''General Mandible''': I doubt that. ''[chuckling]'' Ah, you've got a fighter spirit, Bala. And that's just what we need to start our new colony. We will rinse away all the filth from our gutters. We'll start anew, with you by my side as my queen.

:'''Z Marion-4195''': Well, yeah, I came back for you. You know, I have strong feelings for you. Let's face it, you're, you're... ''[he clears throat]'' ...you're beautiful. I... A little combative at times, but I think we can work :on that.
:'''Princess Bala''': You talk too much.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Gee, I think I'm about to become the strong, silent type. Come on. The city's deserted. We'd better get outta here.
:'''Princess Bala''': Z... ''[sighing]'' ...we can't go. Mandible's insane. He... He keeps talking about washing away the filth and-and changing history and, and I think he's going to try to kill my mother.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Not just your mother, everyone.
:'''Princess Bala''': What's going on?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Look. Here we are, safe in the city. But they're gonna seal everybody off in the MegaTunnel. And, here's the lake. You're right. We can't leave now. Come on. We gotta get down there.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''General Mandible''': Today is the realization of a dream. A dream of a proud colony. A pure colony. A colony reborn. Moments from now this tunnel will open. The past will be washed away and a new day will dawn.
:'''Queen''': A stirring speech, General. I only wish my daughter were here to appreciate it.
:'''General Mandible''': Your Majesty, I know how concerned you are about Bala. But my scouts are on her trail and it's only a matter of time...
:'''Queen''': General, I don't want to discuss it. Just find her.
:'''General Mandible''': Oh, I will, Your Highness. Good-bye. Seal up the doors. Cutter, did you hear me?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Sir, I've been thinking. Do we need to go through with this? Look at what these workers have done. They got the right stuff. Isn't there any other way?
:'''General Mandible''': Cutter, you're a fine officer. You have discipline, courage, ability. But you seem to have a certain weakness for the lower orders that I find disturbing. Now, are you with me?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Sir, uh… I apologize.
:'''General Mandible''': All right, then. Seal it up.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Yes, sir.
:'''Queen''': As I look out on this magnificent tunnel, I am filled with pride.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Jump!
:'''Queen''': In these difficult times, it is a great solace to know that you, our workers...
:'''Princess Bala''': Mom! Wait!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Every worker in the colony is here. Hey, wait a minute. That guy owes me money.
:'''Queen''': This tremendous accomplishment is a testimony to the strength...
:'''Foreman''': People! Put your backs into it!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Go warn your mother. I gotta get to those diggers before they break through.
:'''Princess Bala''': There's not enough time.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Hey, leave the pessimism to me, okay? ''[Z went to the Tunnel while Bala headed to her mother.]'' Excuse me! Sorry about that. Excuse me.
:'''Queen''': In a few moments, when our expert diggers break through to the surface...
:'''Princess Bala''': Mom! Mom, stop.
:'''Queen''': ...the sun will pour into this... Bala! Where've you been? Are you all right? ''[hugs Bala]''
:'''Princess Bala''': I'm fine.
:'''Queen''': What happened?
:'''Princess Bala''': Mother, we're in terrible danger.
:'''Foreman''': Put your backs into it, people.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Wait! Hold... Hey, stop digging!
:'''Weaver''': Z? Is that you?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Weaver, stop!
:'''Weaver''': Z! You're back! Oh, Z! Oh.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[gasping]'' Weaver!
:'''Azteca''': Z! What's the matter?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Ho-Hold up, everyone. Stop. Stop digging.
:'''Foreman''': On whose authority?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': On your own authority. If you break through that wall, we're all gonna...
:'''Princess Bala''': Drown! This tunnel is going to flood.
:'''Queen''': So we've got to get everyone out of here.
:''[the worker ants murmuring]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Foreman''': Look, I got orders, and those orders say "dig."
:'''Z Marion-4195''': What if someone ordered you to jump off a bridge? Oh, brother, I'm asking the wrong guy here. Look, think for yourselves!
:'''Foreman''': Give me that! I've enough out of you. Get back to work.
:'''Weaver''': What's that noise?
:'''Foreman''': Uh-oh...
:'''Weaver''': Let's get outta here!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Run!
:''[The hole burst open and water gushed through. Z and the other worker ants started to run for their lives.]''
:'''Weaver''': Run! Keep going!
:'''Queen''': Everyone, listen to me. We've all been deceived. We need to calmly head toward the exits.
:'''Digger''': Run for your lives! It's gonna flood!
:'''Queen''': No. Don't panic. Don't panic!
:'''Worker Ant''': Every ant for himself!
:'''Worker Ant''': All the exits are blocked!
:'''Worker Ant''': We're trapped!
:[Ants screaming while panicked ants are swept away.]
:'''Princess Bala''': What are we going to do?
:'''Foreman''': There's nothing we can do!
:Worker Ant: Oh Ueh!
:Worker Ant: Ah!
:Worker Ant: Go Go Go! Dark!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yes, there is. Weaver, give me a leg up. ''[climbs on Weaver]'' Everyone, listen to me!
:'''Worker Ant''': Who the heck are you?
:'''Princess Bala''': He's Z!
:''[the worker ants chattering]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Listen, we gotta help each other get outta here before we all drown.
:'''Worker Ant''': How?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': By making a ladder.
:'''Female Ant''': A ladder!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Hey, if we built this, we can do anything. ''[jumps off Weaver]'' Okay, let's move it!
:'''Weaver''': I'm on it. All of you, gather around. You, start climbing.
:'''Worker Ant''': Grab my arm.
:'''Worker Ant''': All right. Here I go.
:'''Worker Ant''': Come on.
:'''Worker Ant''': Go, go, go!
:'''Worker Ant''': Right!
:'''Azteca''': Excuse me, Your Majesty. ''[holds up the Queen, by climbing up]''
:'''Princess Bala''': Z, I've gotta help my Mom.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Don't worry. I know almost exactly what I'm doing. ''[hugs Bala]'' I'll see you at the top.
:'''General Mandible''': Gentlemen, there comes a time, in the evolution of a perfect colony, when the strong are meant to rise above the weak. Now is that time. Below us right now, the weak elements of the colony, are being washed away.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh, my God, we're not gonna make it! We need more ants.
:'''Weaver''': ''[grunting]'' You two better get up there.
:'''Azteca''': Weaver, you can't hold it alone.
:'''Weaver''': '''GET GOING!'''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Hang in there, buddy.
:''[Z and Azteca began to climb to the top.]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Got it!
:'''Azteca''': Hurry up! Go, go, go, go!
:''[Z began to dig his way to the top]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''General Mandible''': Our princess is secured, and our glorious future is at hand. We can all stand proud. It is time for a new beginning.
:''[The ants made a big hole above the ground avoiding drowning from the oncoming flood]''
:'''General Mandible''': '''WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!'''
:'''Colonel Cutter''': I think that's the "weak elements", sir.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Gimme a hand!
:'''General Mandible''': Z! '''''YOU?! LET GO!''''' ''[grabs a spear]'' '''''DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?! IT'S FOR THE GOOD OF THE COLONY!'''''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': What are you saying?! We ''are'' the colony!
:''[Mandible is about to kill Z with the spear, but Cutter punches his face, knocking him down]''
:'''General Mandible''': ''[rubbing his face]'' Cutter, what are you doing?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Something I should have done, a long time ago. ''This'' is for the good of the colony, sir. :''[grabs onto Z's hand to pull him up]''
:'''General Mandible''': ''[his last words; glares at Cutter in fury]'' '''YOU USELESS, UNGRATEFUL MAGGOT! ''I'' AM THE COLONY!''' ''[charges at him]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[gasps]'' Look out!
:''[As Z pushes Cutter aside, Mandible tackles him and they fall down into the hole past the colony. Mandible hits a root, killing him, and Z lands into the water, uncounscious]''
:'''Princess Bala''': Z!
:''[Cutter's eyes widen]''
:'''Colonel Cutter''': ''[determined]'' Men, let's move it! Get these ants up here.
:''[The soldiers start pulling the ants out. Cutter flies into the hole and dives in. Z continues to sink. Cutter rescues his friend]''
:'''Queen Ant''': Thank goodness we made it.
:'''Princess Bala''': Wait here.
:'''Azteca''': Okay. Weaver.
:'''Worker Ant''': Thank you.
:'''Princess Bala''': Where's Z? Oh, no.
:'''Weaver''': Back up, everybody, back up! Give him some air. Back up.
:'''Princess Bala''': Z, oh, Z. Please wake up.
:'''Azteca''': Oh, no. ''[sobbing]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Huh! ''[coughs]''
:''[The ants start cheering]''
:'''Princess Bala''': ''[kisses Z]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yowch!
:'''Azteca''': You know, Weaver, you still owe me that dinner.
:'''Weaver''': ''[kisses Azteca]'' Babylove.
:'''Azteca''': We made it, Z!
:'''Weaver''': You da ant! ''[congratulates him]''
:'''Princess Bala''': You did it.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': We did it. ''[the ants grab Z and Bala]'' Fellas, fellas, please. This is very embarrasing for me, I...
:''[Bala laughs]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': On the other hand, I probably could get used to this.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[last lines]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': There you have it. Your average 'boy-meets-girl, boy-likes-girl, boy-changes-underlying-social-order' story. So, what else can I tell you? We rebuilt the colony - it's even better than before, you know, 'cause now it has a very large indoor swimming pool. Bala and I, incidentally, are thinking of starting a family. You know, just a few kids, maybe a million or two to begin with. And I'm, I'm workin' with a new therapist, you know, terrific, absolutely terrific. He's, he's been putting me in touch with my inner maggot, which is helping me a great deal. And, you know, I finally feel like I found my place, and you know what? It's right back where I started. But the difference is, this time I chose it.
==DORIS DAY lyrics (High Hopes)==
:'''Doris Day''': Next time your found, with your chin on the ground / There a lot to be learned, so look around...| Just what makes that little old ant / Think he'll move that rubber tree plant / Anyone knows an ant, can't / Move a rubber tree plant.
:'''Doris Day and Children''': But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes / He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes.
:'''Doris Day''': So any time your gettin' low / 'Stead of lettin' go / Just remember that ant / Oops there goes another rubber tree plant...| When troubles call, and your back's to the wall / There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall...| Once there was a silly old ram / Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam / No one could make that ram, scram / He kept buttin' that dam.
:'''Doris Day and Children''': 'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes / He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes.
:'''Doris Day''': 'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes / He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes...| So any time your feelin' bad / 'Stead of feelin' sad / Just remember that ram / Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam...| All problems just a toy balloon / They'll be bursted soon / They're just bound to go pop / Oops there goes another problem kerplop...|''[chorus singing]''

== Dialogue ==
:''[first lines]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': All my life, I've lived and worked in the big city, which now that I think of it, is kind of a problem since I always feel uncomfortable around crowds. I mean it, I-I have this fear of enclosed spaces. I-I-I, everything makes me feel trapped all the time. You know, I always tell myself, there's gotta be something better out there, but maybe I think too much. I-I-I think everything must go back to the fact that I had a very anxious childhood. You know, my, my mother never had time for me. You know, when you're - when you're the middle child in a family of five million, you don't get any attention. I mean, how's it possible? And I've always had these, these abandonment issues, which plagued me. My father was basically a drone like I've said, and, you know, the guy flew away when I was just a larva. And my job, don't get me started on, 'cause it really annoys me. I was not cut out to be a worker, I'll tell you right now. I-I-I feel physically inadequate. I, I, my whole life I've never, I've never been able to lift more than ten times my own body weight, And, and, when you get down to it, handling dirt is, you know, ew, is not my idea of a rewarding career. It's this whole gung-ho super-organism thing that, that, that I - you know, I can't get, I try but I don't get it. I mean, you know, I'm... What is it, I'm supposed to do everything for the colony, and, and what about my needs? What about me? I mean, I gotta believe there's someplace out there that's better than this! Otherwise, I'll just curl up in a larval position and weep! The whole system makes me feel... insignificant.
:'''Psychologist''': ''[to Z]'' Excellent. You’ve made a real breakthrough.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I have?
:'''Psychologist''': Yes, Z. You are insignificant.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I am?

:''[the title card appears]''
:'''Man''': Ground floor.
:'''Ant''': Uh, worker. Soldier. Worker.
:'''Worker Ant''': Let's try it again. Firm grip. Swing hard. Back straight. Concentrate. Follow through.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Okay. I've got to keep a positive attitude. A good attitude, even though I'm utterly insignificant. ''[grabs an ax]'' I'm-I'm insignificant, um, but with attitude.
:'''Azteca''': Oh, sorry, Z. I didn't see you.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Great, Azteca. It's working already. I'm so meaningless, I'm invisible. ''[he tries to get the ax out]''
:'''Azteca''': ''[laughing]'' Now, you're getting it. ''[takes the ax out]'' After all, it's not about you. It's about us, the team. It's about this.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Uh, a giant hole in the ground?
:'''Foreman''': Okay, people. Are we feeling good?
:'''All''': Yeah!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yeah.
:'''Foreman''': Great! Now, R-1734 through Z-7829, you guys are on wrecking ball.
:'''Azteca''': You got it.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Swell. You got it.
:'''Worker Ant''': All right, swing time! Let's get physical!
:'''Worker Ant''': I love this job!
:'''Worker Ant''': Let's go!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Now, remember, Azteca, "Be the ball." That's the main thing. Now, remember that. You know, got to be one with the ball.
:'''Azteca''': Would you cut it out already? Jeez. I love my work. And you, well... You think too much. Come on, Z. Help us build a bigger, better colony. And, for crying out loud, try to be happy about it.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Sure, you know. ''[nervous chuckle]'' I mean, how could I possibly be unhappy being a piece of construction equipment?
:'''Foreman''': Okay, workers, remember.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Here it comes.
:'''Foreman''': Be the ball.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[groans]''
:'''Foreman''': Let the energy flow through you!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Grin and bear it. This is... This is for the colony. Ow! This is... This is just a lawsuit waiting to happen.
:'''Worker Ant''': Hang on, here we go!
:'''Worker Ant''': Faster!
:'''Worker Ant''': Higher!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Did I happen to mention that heights make me nauseous?
:'''Worker Ant''': No.
:'''Worker Ant''': This is a ball! Hey!
:'''Azteca''': Oh, Z.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yes. Yes. I understand. I dropped the ball.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''General Mandible''': ''[his first words]'' Workers. They're weak. They lack discipline. They lack commitment.
:'''Foreman''': ''[he comes in]'' General, I know there's been a glitch or two. But everybody is working full tilt as it is, and-
:'''General Mandible''': You can't help it, it's your nature. But in spite of your limitations, you are going to finish this tunnel on schedule. Come hell or high water. For now on, anyone who falls behind is going to have to explain themselves to Colonel Cutter. And let me assure you, the colonel is not as understanding as I am. Dismissed. Four more days, Cutter. Four more days. Then we can bid final farewell to their kind of incompetence.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Yes, sir.
:'''General Mandible''': A fresh start. Imagine it!
:'''Colonel Cutter''': A strong colony, sir. A colony we can be proud of.
:'''General Mandible''': Yes, but we're not there yet. Cutter, we just got word that a termite army has mobilized against us.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Against us?
:'''General Mandible''': We'll have to send troops deep into hostile territory to attack their colony.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Attack a termite colony, sir? That's suicide.
:'''General Mandible''': Exactly. Do you have the list I asked for?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Yes, General. ''[takes the list to General]'' These are the units loyal to the queen.
:'''General Mandible''': Hm. Then they're the ones we'll be sending. It's a shame. There's some fine officers here.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Don't we need the queen's approval to declare war?
:'''General Mandible''': Our very next stop, Cutter.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Queen''': General, we've been at peace with that colony for years. Why would they attack us?
:'''General Mandible''': They want our land. They're desperate for more foraging territory. Perhaps they think we've grown soft or weak.
:'''Queen''': Why don't we dispatch an ambassador, negotiate a new treaty? Certainly, we don't need to send soldiers.
:'''General Mandible''': Believe me. Every ant in this colony is so precious to me. That's why we must strike now, when we have the element of surprise. If the termite shock troops enter our colony, well...
:'''Queen''': Yes, General, I know what they can do to us. Very well.
:'''General Mandible''': You've made a wise decision. In fact, you've insured the future of this colony.
:'''Princess Bala''': Hello, General.
:'''General Mandible''': Princess Bala. What a nice surprise. You look lovelier each time I see you.
:'''Princess Bala''': Thanks. I hope you're not just here on business.
:'''General Mandible''': Oh, of course... ''[chuckling]'' ...of course not.
:'''Princess Bala''': Because, um, it might be nice if we had a conversation once before we get married.
:'''General Mandible''': You're absolutely right. Cutter, schedule some private time for me and Princess Bala.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Uh, in fact, sir, there is time right now for a personal moment. We're a few seconds ahead of schedule.
:'''General Mandible''': Excellent. Princess.
:'''Princess Bala''': Well, a few seconds isn't much, but I guess if it's quality time. So, how was your day? Anything interesting happen?
:'''General Mandible''': We declared war.
:'''Princess Bala''': Declared war? Boy, talk about a rough day.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Sir, I hate to interrupt, but time stands still for no ant.
:'''General Mandible''': Princess.
:'''Princess Bala''': Mom, could you remind me, why am I marrying this guy?
:'''Queen''': Bala, do we have to argue about this again?
:'''Princess Bala''': We don't seem to have anything in common. The guy's a stiff.
:'''Queen''': Yes, darling. I know the general may be a little gruff and somewhat overbearing at times, but I know that he cares about you. He's just not particulary good at showing it. But you should have seen how persistently he asked for your hand in marriage.
:'''Princess Bala''': But why me?
:'''Queen''': Because you're the one who has to continue my work. It's your place, dear.
:'''Princess Bala''': What if they don't like my place?
:'''Queen''': Everyone has their place, Bala, you, the soldiers, the workers. Now, it's not all that bad being princess, is it? Would you prefer to be carting dirt all day?
:'''Princess Bala''': Mother, don't be so dramatic. At least, they seem to have some fun every now and then.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Bartender''': Two aphid beers.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Why'd I have to be born a worker? Soldiers get all the glory, plus you get to go out in the world. You meet interesting insects, you get to kill them.
:'''Weaver''': Yeah. But you get to spend all day with those beautiful worker girls.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Weaver, they're career girls. They're obsessed with digging. ''[sighs]'' I don't think I'm ever gonna meet the right girl for me.
:'''Weaver''': ''[to Z]'' Who said a girl for you? I was talking about a girl for me. Don't you want your aphid beer?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Call me crazy, but... ''[clears throat]'' I have a thing about drinking from the anus of another creature. Okay?
:'''Weaver''': Suit yourself. Ah, me,? I'm cutting a lose. We got a royal inspection coming up.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Inspection, meaning you're gonna stand around like an idiot while a bunch of blue bloods smirk at you. I don't know how you put up with it, Weaver.
:'''Weaver''': Z, I've known you for a long time. Right?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Definitely. You were born two seconds after me.
:'''Weaver''': Yeah, and ever since we were little, I've been listening to you complain. What are you b*tching about? In case you haven't noticed, we ants are running the show! We're the lords of the earth!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Hey, don't talk to me about earth, okay? 'Cause I just spent all day hauling it around. ''[he sighs]'' There's just got to be a better place.
:'''Grebs''': There is. I've been there.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I'm sorry. Were you talking to me?
:'''Grebs''': There is a better place, Insectopia.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh, really. Lunatic at 3:00.
:'''Grebs''': You can't understand until you go there and see it yourself. You can be your own ant there. The streets are paved with food. Nobody tellin' you what to do. No wars. No colony. I shoulda never left.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[chuckling]'' Oh, yeah. Fascinating.
:'''Grebs''': We were on a long-range recon. I got cut off from my unit.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Nothing like post-traumatic stress disorder to make your day complete.
:'''Grebs''': Then I saw it, Insectopia!
:'''Worker Ant #1''': Hey!
:'''Grebs''': You head towards the monolith. Ten clicks past the great canyons to the land of red and white.
:'''Guard Ant #1''': ''[takes Grebs]'' Hey, gramps. You've had enough for one tonight. Come on. Before you get in trouble.
:'''Grebs''': Head for the monolith. Listen to me! The monolith!
:'''Weaver''': ''[chuckling]'' That guy's got a screw loose.
:'''Grebs''': Cross the lake!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Insectopia. ''[he scoffs]'' Wouldn't it be great if it were that easy?
:'''Weaver''': ''[chuckling]'' Yeah. Dream on, Z.
:'''Grebs''': Cross the lake! Look for the land of red and white.
:''[Bala sneaks into the bar with two handmaidens]''
:'''Princess Bala''': ''[excited]'' Wow...This is so...''gritty!''
:'''Handmaiden #1''': Ten minutes and we're out of here, right? I mean, this place is off limits.
:'''Princess Bala''': Just blame it on me. Say it was all my idea.
:'''Handmaiden #2''': It ''is'' all your idea!
:'''Princess Bala''': ''[removes her crown]'' Besides, no one's gonna recognize us. Come on, girls, what do you say? Let's take a walk on the wild side.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Man''': ''[on loud speaker]'' Okay, everybody. 6:15. Time to dance.
:'''Weaver''': ''[to Z]'' Time to cut a rug, Z.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh, no. That's okay. I'm gonna leave the rug just the way it is, Weaver.
:'''Princess Bala''': ''[to her handmaidens]'' Step back, ladies. I'm gonna ask one of these workers to dance with me.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[watching the other ants dance in unison]'' What a bunch of losers. Mindless zombies capitulating to an oppressive system-
:'''Princess Bala''': Hi. Wanna dance?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[upon turning to see her]'' Absolutely!
:'''Princess Bala''': Follow me.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[as they step onto the dance floor]'' So, how come I haven't seen you around here before?
:'''Princess Bala''': Oh, I don't get out much. I, uh...I work over at the palace.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': The palace, huh? I bet those royals really live it up. ''[secretively]'' Of course, they're all a little, you know, from inbreeding.
:'''Princess Bala''': ''What?''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yowch! Ya-Ya... Yowch! Yowch. Yowch.
:'''Princess Bala''': What on earth are you doing?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Well, actually, to tell you the truth, I'm sort of making it up.
:'''Princess Bala''': Really?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': You know. Why does everybody have to dance the same way? You know, that's completely boring. It's... It's monotonous.
:'''Princess Bala''': It's no fun.
:'''Bar Guy''': Hey. Watch your step, worker.
:'''Princess Bala''': You watch yours, buddy, or you'll be in big trouble.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': That's okay. I'll... I'm gonna let him off this time. What? Are you crazy? This guy's built like a pebble.
:'''Princess Bala''': Aren't you even gonna defend yourself?
:'''Bar Guy''': Hey, buddy. Get back in place.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Me? Uh... Uh...
:'''Princess Bala''': What if he doesn't want to?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[clears throat]'' Yeah. What if I don't like my place?
:'''Bar Guy''': What's he talking about?
:'''Bar Guy''': We got us a troublemaker.
:'''Bar Guy''': Buckle up, Spanky. This one goes out to all the lazy workers.
:'''Weaver''': You ought to watch that aggressive behavior, buddy.
:'''Bar Guy''': He's just a worker.
:'''Handmaiden #1''': Princess Bala! Princess Bala! The guards are coming.
:'''Princess Bala''': Let's get outta here.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Wait! Princess? You're a princess?
:'''Princess Bala''': Uh, I gotta go.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': When can I see you again?
:'''Princess Bala''': Let me think. Never. ''[kisses Z]'' Bye.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': No. Wait.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[singing]'' What a day it has been, what a rare mood I'm in. Why, it's almost like being in love. There's a smile.
:'''Azteca''': Huh?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[continues singing]'' On my face for the whole insect race. Why, it's almost like being in love. Yowch.
:'''Bartender''': ''[to Z]'' Can I get you another one, pal?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[sighing]'' No, thanks. I think I'm gonna go.
:'''Bartender''': Yeah. I don't blame you. It's always slow in here the night before one of those royal reviews. I guess soldiers need their shut-eye before they meet the queen. I don't blame ya.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': That's it!
:'''Bartender''': You know, I was once... See ya.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Psst. Weaver. I figured it out. Weaver. Weaver.
:'''Weaver''': What? What? ''[clears throat]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I got a great idea. You gotta switch places with me. Let me go to the inspection instead of you.
:'''Weaver''': What time is it?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Weaver. The royal family will be there. This is the only way I can see her.
:'''Weaver''': See who?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Princess Bala.
:'''Weaver''': ''[getting out of bed]'' Are you nuts? You want me to switch places with you? Do you know how much trouble you can get into for even talking about impersonating a soldier? You can get in trouble just for listening to someone talking about impersonating a soldier!
:''[Everyone who was listening in pretends to fall back asleep]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': You have to help me. If I can't see her again, my life is just not worth living. Please, Weaver, ''please''. Switch jobs with me just, you know, for a day. Think of all the things I've done for you.
:'''Weaver''': ''[pauses]'' Hm. I can't think of any.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Okay, so think of all the things that I'm ''gonna'' do for you!
:'''Weaver''': ''[glances around, then leans in secretively]'' Would I meet some worker girls?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Are you kidding? They always go after the new guy! It's like a sport for them! And believe me, they will definitely go for an adorable little insect like you.
:'''Weaver''': Mmm.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Weaver, I... I have to see her again.
:'''Weaver''': Z, what kind of chance do you have with a princess? I mean, she probably won't even remember you.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[sighs]'' I... I know it sounds nuts, but I have to try.
:'''Weaver''': Oh, boy. ''[he exhales]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Princess, fancy meeting you here. What do you say we lose this crowd? Oh, me? You know, I... I wear many hats. I guess you'd have to call me a Renaissance ant.
:'''Man''': Eyes right!
:'''General Mandible''': Beautiful. Just beautiful.
:'''Princess Bala''': Mm.
:'''General Mandible''': The precision. The order.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Princess Bala! Princess Bala! Hey. It's me. Remember Z from the bar? Princess Bala! Princess Bala! Princess...
:'''Queen''': Bala, you must encourage the troops. Wave.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh. She sees me. Excuse me, guys. I... Sorry. I just got a better offer. Could you excuse me?
:'''Soldier Ant''': Company halt!
:''[they all leave]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Princess. Princess Bala!
:'''Soldier Ant''': Quiet there! Get back in rank.
:'''Barbatus''': You new, kid?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh, yes, but I'm getting out soon. I got a trial membership.
:'''Barbatus''': Trial membership. ''[chuckling]'' That's a good one! Name's Barbatus.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Z.
:'''Man''': Right face!
:'''Barbatus''': Psst.
:'''General Mandible''': Sacrifice. To some, it is just a word. To others, it is a code.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Jeez. I'm really bad at word games.
:'''General Mandible''': A solider knows that the life of an individual ant doesn't matter. What matters is the colony. He's willing to live for the colony, to fight for the colony, to die for the colony.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': This guy's crazy.
:'''Barbatus''': I hear ya.
:'''General Mandible''': At 0800 hours, we received word that the termite enemy has mobilized. We have no choice but to launch a preemptive strike. You are the queen's finest. I know you will all do you duty. I am proud to send you into battle.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Into... I'm sorry-I'm sorry, into battle?
:'''General Mandible''': Dismissed.
:'''Man''': Left face! Forward march!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Talk to me. You know, I think there's been a terrible mistake. ''[being shipped off to battle]'' You know, the truth is I just... I just came for the speech.
:'''Barbatus''': Don't worry, kid. I'll watch out for ya.
:'''Ant''': Sound off.
:'''Soldier Ant''': One.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Two.
:'''Ant''': Sound off.
:'''Barbatus''': Three.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Huh?
:'''Ant''': Sound off.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Five.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Six.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Seven.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Eight.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Nine.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Ten.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Eleven.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Twelve.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Thirteen.
:'''Soldier Ant''': ''[singing]'' The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah!
:'''All''': ''[singing]'' We slaughter termites just for fun, hurrah, hurrah!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': So these termites, they're, they're pushovers, right?
:'''Barbatus''': Not really, kid. They're five times our size, and they shoot acid from their foreheads.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Huh?! ''[stops marching, gaping in disbelief]''
:'''Soldier Ant''': ''[gives Z a shove from behind]'' Hey! Keep it movin', shorty!
:''[Later, as the ant army is marching towards the termites' nest]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': So, what exactly does our platoon do? Are we gonna be serving beverages, or processing paperwork?
:'''Barbatus''': Our platoon has the best assignment of all. We're the first into battle.
:''[They marched up the termites' nest]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[panicked]'' Hey, wait a minute, let's not get...we're being too hasty here! These guys sound like ''bruisers!'' Just how were you figuring on beating them?!
:'''Barbatus''': Superior numbers, kid. Overwhelm their defenses, and kill their queen.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[stammering]'' I, um...Hey, fellas, that's...you're being a little extreme, I feel. Why don't...Why don't we just try and influence their political process with campaign contributions?
:'''Barbatus''': ''[laughing]'' I like you, kid. You got a sense of humor!
:'''Ant Officer''': '''FORWARD!!'''
:'''Barbatus''': Come on! Let's kick some termite butt!
:'''Soldier Ant''': '''OVER THE TOP!!!'''
:'''Soldier Ant''': Where is everyone?
:'''Soldier Ant''': Something's not right.
:'''Barbatus''': Don't be scared, kid.
:'''Ant Officer''': '''ATTACK!!!'''
:'''Soldier Ant''': Come on.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Barbatus, you saved my life.
:'''Barbatus''': Ah, don't get all sappy about it.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Hey, guys. Look out behind you! Hey... Hey, guys. Can somebody help me here? Can anybody... Hey.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Weaver''': Yeah. ''[he breaks the wall]'' Okay, mama. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Big guy comin' through. Love it.
:'''Azteca''': Hey. Hey. Hey. Take it easy, muscles. You're makin' the rest of us look bad. What happened to Z?
:'''Weaver''': He's takin' a personal day, so I'm fillin' in.
:'''Azteca''': ''[admiring]'' You fill in any more, and you'll explode.
:'''Azteca''': Eh, you got a problem?
:'''Weaver''': No, uh, uh... Nobody told me digging was so much fun. You know, you pick the dirt up. You move it. You pick it up again. You move it again. Lots of reps. You exercise the arms and the thorax.
:'''Azteca''': Yes, I... I see what you mean.
:'''Foreman''': Um. Yeah. That is fascinating.
:'''Weaver''': Sorry, sir. I was just havin' a chat with my friend, sir.
:'''Foreman''': You know, I just had a chat with General Mandible. Anybody who doesn't meet his quota is going to be downsized.
:'''Azteca''': Come on. Cut him a break. He's new.
:'''Foreman''': Hey. What do you say we help your attitude a little bit by taking away your rations for the day. Thanks for your time.
:'''Azteca''': I don't know what came over me. Talking back like that. ''[he starts cutting]'' I must be losin' it.
:'''Weaver''': Sorry I got you in trouble. But, listen, you can share my rations. Whoa. If you want.
:'''Azteca''': ''[guards the ax]'' Are you askin' me out to dinner?
:'''Weaver''': ''[chuckles]'' Oh, no. I... Well, if you don't have anything else planned.
:'''Azteca''': ''[laughing]'' I'll check my calendar. You know, I'm kinda glad Z's takin' a breather.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Outside, Z emerged and saw the blood bath he saw. All of the ants and termites were all dead.]''
:'''Barbatus''': ''[to Z]'' Kid! Kid, over here.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Barbatus.
:'''Barbatus''': Be honest, kid. Am I hurt bad?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': N-No. N-Not at all. You're... Actually, you're lookin' terrific. You got, you know, swell color in your cheeks.
:'''Barbatus''': No. I can see it in your eyes. I'm a goner. Help me up, Z. ''[sniffing]'' I can't feel my legs.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': You gotta hang in there, buddy. You know. I know you're gonna make it. Just take... take deep breaths. Because I'm gonna try and find your body. It's bound to be out there somewhere. ''[to Barbatus]'' Barbatus, hang on. B-Barbatus.
:'''Barbatus''': Don't make my mistake, kid. Don't follow orders your whole life. Think for yourself.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Barbatus.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Colonel Cutter''': We're on schedule. Work is completed on "A" section sir, including a path through "D" section now.
:'''General Mandible''': We need to push harder, Cutter. I want double shifts around-the-clock. We can't afford to let up. Is that clear?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Crystal, sir.
:'''General Mandible''': Good. What about section...
:'''Guard Ant''': ''[he comes in]'' Excuse me, sir.
:'''General Mandible''': This had better be important.
:'''Guard Ant''': Well, it's about the termite battle, sir. The enemy was destroyed, but I'm afraid it was a disaster for our troops, as well.
:'''General Mandible''': Well, that's terrible. Terrible.
:'''Guard Ant''': There is a better good news, sir. One soldier did make it back.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': No kidding.
:'''General Mandible''': What did you say?
:'''Guard Ant''': Word is spreading through the colony. The queen requested a meeting with the war hero.
:'''General Mandible''': ''[on hearing that one soldier survived the battle with the termites]'' Damn! ''[covering his true feelings]'' Good. damn good. Uh, I'll handle this. ''[he walks to Z and Ant]'' Congratulations, soldier. ''[chuckling]'' Well, you're a little short for a war hero, aren't you?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': A war hero? Sir. I-I don't actually think that I'm a hero.
:'''General Mandible''': ''[takes Z]'' Good. I don't like heroes.
:''[the worker ants cheers]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': But, sir. You don't understand. I... I didn't do anything. I mean, it was all horrible. It was just a massacre. A-A massacre upon a massacre.
:'''General Mandible''': ''[to Z]'' That's good, soldier. Now, wave.
:''[the worker ants cheering, Z waves his arm, the worker ants continue cheering]''
:'''Azteca''': There was nothing you could do, Weaver. You didn't know they were going to war.
:'''Weaver''': I just feel horrible. Poor Z. I should have never let him go.
:'''Azteca''': Wait a minute. That's no soldier. That's Z!
:'''Weaver''': Z? The little guy made it! ''[he chuckles]''
:'''General Mandible''': Let's go, soldier.
:''[the worker ants cheering]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''General Mandible''': As I was saying, son, you are an ant after my own heart. An ant that looks death in the face and laughs.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Well, actually, the truth is, I-I generally just make belittling comments, and snicker behind death's back. ''[chuckling]''
:'''Queen''': General Mandible.
:'''General Mandible''': ''[to Z]'' Keep your comments to yourself. Let me do the talking. May I present Her Majesty the Queen.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Charmed. Charmed.
:'''General Mandible''': And the royal Princess Bala.
:'''Queen''': Welcome home, soldier. We cannot begin to express our gratitude for your heroic efforts.
:'''General Mandible''': The private has asked me to convey his most humble appreciation.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Please. Please. It was nothing really. Just your average run-of-the-mill valor, and extraordinary courageousness, you know. In the heat of battle, there's very little time to think. One must attack! Attack! Attack! ''[chuckling]''
:'''General Mandible''': Well, indeed. As you can see, Your Highness, the battlefield is still fresh in his mind. So, begging your pardon, but this is the perfect time to debrief the private.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh, please, General. Not on our first date. ''[chuckling]'' Not on our first date.
:'''Princess Bala''': Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[recognizing his line from the night before]'' Well, maybe. ''[takes the hat off]'' Then again, maybe not. And then... then again. Yowch.
:'''Princess Bala''': That's it! You're the guy from the bar.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Don't... Shh.
:'''Queen''': Bar? What bar?
:'''Princess Bala''': I danced with this guy at the bar the other night. He was just a worker then.
:'''Queen''': What were you doing at a bar?
:'''General Mandible''': Precisely what I want to know.
:'''Princess Bala''': No. This isn't about me. I mean, look at this worker. Look what he's done.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I think you're thinkin' of someone else. ''[puts the hat back on]'' After all, I am a soldier.
:'''Princess Bala''': Exactly. You were a worker. But now, you're a war hero.
:'''Queen''': He's a worker?
:'''General Mandible''': A worker danced with my fiancee?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': F-Fiancee? W-W-Wait a minute. This is not how it looks. I can explain this. This... Hey. She was the one making all the moves.
:'''General Mandible''': Arrest him.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': H-Hey wait a minute. Take it easy. Can't we discuss this?
:'''Queen''': What are you doing? Let go of my daughter. He's taking her hostage!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': No. No. No. I'm not. I mean, yes, yes, I am. One more step and then the princess gets it.
:'''Princess Bala''': Let go of me! ''[hits Z]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Ow! Don't make me hurt her!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Princess Bala''': What are you doing, you creep? Are you out of your puny little mind?
:'''Guard Ant''': There they are down there! Let's go! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move!
:'''Princess Bala''': Oh, good. Here they come to rescue me and kill you.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Kill?
:'''Princess Bala''': Hey, you guys!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[to Bala]'' Stop it! Stop it. What are you tryin' to do?
:'''Princess Bala''': Get off me, you little twerp!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Wait a minute. What do you want to do? Throw away everything you got?
:'''Princess Bala''': Oh, hey! ''[punches Z]'' What're you waiting for? Hello! Guys!
:'''Guard Ant''': Huh?
:'''Guard Ant''': What is it?
:'''Ridgeway''': It's beautiful.
:'''Guard Ant''': Ridgeway, get out of there!
:''[?]''
:''[Z and Bala both sigh when they escape from the magnifying glass, and hide in the "wilderness"]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh, don't worry. I'm okay.
:'''Princess Bala''': ''You?!'' ''You're'' okay?! Hey, who cares about you?! I almost died here!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Will you please calm down? You're not going to let a little near-death experience ruin your mood, are you?
:'''Princess Bala''': Hey, this is not a mood. Okay? You're not listening to me. Where am I? ''[the praying mantis snores soundly, as the birds chirp in the background]'' Look, what's your name. Just climb up that tree, and find out where I am.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Look, th-the trick is not to panic. You know, h-h-he w-who panics is lost. Aw...What am I saying? I mean, we are lost. ''[climbs up a stem of a thistle plant, but it droops over downwards towards Bala]'' Whoa! Whoa! ''[Bala gasps; he grins and chuckles sarcastically at Bala, but the thistle part of the plant breaks off of the thistle plant, and falls to the ground, with Z holding on to it]'' Ow!
:'''Princess Bala''': ''[to herself]'' I've been kidnapped by the village idiot.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Who's the bigger idiot? ''[gets up, as he plucks the thistle thorns off of his body]'' The idiot, or the idiot who gets kidnapped by the idiot?
:'''Princess Bala''': What'd you do? ''Talk'' those termites to death? I can't believe you tried to pass yourself off as a soldier. Why are you stalking me? Don't you realize that I'm...out of your league?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''You're'' the one who was cruising the worker bar looking for a little action! And you just happened to find it - the swarthy, earthy, sensual worker.
:'''Princess Bala''': Please. I was slumming it. Don't you get it? I chose you because you were the most pathetic little bug in the joint.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': You know, I was gonna let you become part of my most erotic fantasies. But now, you can just forget that! Write it off, you know? I-I guess what you prefer is Old Blood and Guts! This guy's idea of a romantic night out is two seats at a public execution! Boy. You ''really'' chose the right husband. ''[climbs up a spiked stem of a rose]''
:'''Princess Bala''': For your information, the General and I are deeply, deeply in...engaged! You come right back down here this instant! We are marching straight back to the colony, so that I can go straight back to the palace, and tell my mother...
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[moves some of the rose's leaves out of his way with his hand, and sees the "monolith" (a drinking fountain) in the distance, the first of the series of landmarks on the way to Insectopia that Grebs told him about]'' The monolith!
:'''Princess Bala''': ...and you can go back to your stupid little buggy bar!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Absolutely. Wonderful. ''[climbs back down the rose's spiked stem towards Bala, who is standing on the ground]'' That's an appealing offer. But, considering the options, ''you'' go back. Okay? 'Cause I'm going to Insectopia.
:'''Princess Bala''': Oh, come on! Insectopia? You're crazier than I thought.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yeah? Well, I happen to have it on a very reliable source. ''[clears his throat]'' Or...Or should I say, a drunk, raving source? But the point is, I'm convinced the place definitely exists! ''[heads on towards the monolith]''
:'''Princess Bala''': Stop! I ''order'' you to stop, worker!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Hey! I got a name, okay?! It's Z! And out here, you can't order me around! ''[continues walking on]''
:'''Princess Bala''': All right! Fine! No problem! Grr! ''[goes the opposite direction of Z, but suddenly, the ground underneath her starts to shake and rise, and she finds herself on the back of a praying mantis, who turns and gnashes its jaws at her. She gasps, and then runs after Z in terror]'' Worker! Worker, where are you?! Z?! Z, wait for me!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Cutter watches, as the Queen tells Mandible that she wants Bala back]''
:'''Queen''': No more excuses, General. I want my daughter back. Frankly, I'm beginning to doubt your ability to handle this.
:'''General Mandible''': Believe me, Your Highness, we will spare no effort to bring her back. Princess Bala is essential to all our plans for the future.
:'''Worker Ant''': So he kills himself a hundred termites, gets a few medals, then bada-ding, bada-bip, bags himself the princess.
:'''Worker Ant''': He looks dead in the eye...
:'''Worker Ant''': And says, "Bite me."
:'''Female Ant''': He said that to General Mandible?
:'''Worker Ant''': Buddy. Hey, hey, buddy. You heard about the war hero named Z? Runs off the the princess, right? When they sent the guards after him, he just looks at 'em and boom! They burst into flames.
:'''Weaver''': Z? ''[chuckling]'' You talkin' about Z? Hey, I know the guy. He's a friend of mine. I think your information...
:'''Worker Ant''': You know Z?
:'''Weaver''': Yeah. He's a worker. He used to dig around here.
:'''Worker Ant''': A worker? That's impossible. A worker can't do anything, except work.
:'''Female Ant''': Yeah. It's not like we got a choice.
:'''Azteca''': We do have a choice. Uh, I mean, look at Z. He decided he wanted something, and he went for it.
:'''Weaver''': He's not alone. I used to be a soldier, and I switched places with him.
:'''Worker Ant''': Wait a second. You're tellin' me, I don't have to be here?
:'''Female Ant''': We've got a choice?
:'''Worker Ant''': The authorities don't want you to know, but we don't have to work on the tunnel any more.
:'''Worker Ant''': It's the workers who control the means of production.
:'''Worker Ant''': If Z don't dig, I don't dig.
:'''Foreman''': People, what is this? An encounter group? Let's get back to work.
:'''Worker Ant''': Why?
:'''Worker Ant''': ...on the tunnel anymore! This guy, Z, he's leadin' the revolution!
:'''Foreman''': I'll get back to you.

:'''Princess Bala''': Think about it, Z, two ants. Who ever heard of two ants? Two million ants, maybe. But two? Look, I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, and this whole desert thing? It just doesn't work for me.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yada, yada, yada.
:'''Princess Bala''': I think it's about time to take me back.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Take yourself back. ''[he scoffs]''
:'''Princess Bala''': Excuse me. You kidnapped me, remember? That means you have certain responsibilities. You can't just abandon me here in the wilderness.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yeah, well, it's better than being back at the colony.
:'''Princess Bala''': You're not serious, are you?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Maybe you were living the high life, but personally, this beats digging. If you'd ever done a day's labor you'd know what I was talking about.
:'''Princess Bala''': Labor? What do you know about labor? How would you feel if you were expected to give birth every ten seconds for the rest of your life?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Gee.
:'''Princess Bala''': Water! All you think about is yourself.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yeah? Well, nobody else ever thought about me. So as far as I'm concerned, I don't need anybody else.
:''[A water droplet landed next to them. Bala looked and saw Z was trapped in a water drop.]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[in a water drop]'' Help! Help me, Bala! Help! B-B-B-B-Bala!
:'''Princess Bala''': Hold on, I'll get you out. Hold on.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Help, Ba...
:''[Bala looked down to see that she can push the droplet down the leaf. She pushed but she end up getting absorbed into the droplet, It rolled down and splashed onto the ground.]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Thanks.
:'''Princess Bala''': Don't mention it. Now, maybe we can put this fantasy behind us, and head back to the colon... Oh, Z! What are you doing?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[gets in the boat]'' We've got to cross the lake.
:'''Princess Bala''': Am I missing something here? Didn't we just get out of the water?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[grabs a stick]'' Bala, look, what have you got to lose? I mean, think about it. Do you really want to be Mrs. Raving Lunatic? There's a better place.
:'''Princess Bala''': Z, please.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Just gimme one chance. If we don't find Insectopia soon, I promise I'll take you back to the colony. ''[puts his hand out, then Bala gets in, then Z rows to go to Insectopia]''
:'''Princess Bala''': I hope you know what you're doing.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yeah, me too.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''All''': ''[chanting]'' We want Z! We want Z!
:'''Foreman''': People, come on. I know some ants who aren't gonna make their quota.
:'''Worker Ant''': Buzz off, pawn of the oppressor.
:'''All''': ''[continues chanting]'' We want Z! We want Z!
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Sorry, sir. I came as soon as I heard. I was debriefing the trackers.
:'''General Mandible''': And? What's the report?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Well, this Z, sir. He's one slippery character. They lost Bala's trail at the edge of the lake.
:'''General Mandible''': The lake?
:'''All''': ''[singing]'' All we are saying is give Z a chance.
:'''General Mandible''': What's that soldier doing there?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': It appears he's holding hands, sir, with a worker.
:'''General Mandible''': I don't like the way things are going, Cutter. I'm counting on you for results. Now, can I depend on you or not?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Yes, sir.
:'''General Mandible''': All right, then. Let's wrap this up.
:'''All''': ''[continues chanting]'' We want Z! We want Z! We want Z!
:'''General Mandible''': I've heard a lot about this Z. I even had the pleasure of meeting him once. But where is he know? Can anyone point him out? I mean, if this Z cares so much about us, then why isn't he here? I'll tell you why. Because Z doesn't give a damn about us. That's why he kidnapped our princess. That's why he ran away. Z is no hero. We are the heroes. We are the ones ensuring the future of our great colony. And when we've completed this magnificent structure, we will reap the benefits: more food and less work for everyone. And as further reward for your heroic efforts, each and every one of you will get the day off... so you can be the guests of honor at the MegaTunnel dedication ceremonies!
:''[the ants cheering]''
:'''Foreman''': Mandible! Mandible!
:'''All''': ''[chanting]'' Mandible! Mandible! Mandible! Mandible!
:'''General Mandible''': Now bring me that soldier.

:''[The morning came and Bala woke up to see Z still sleeping. She heads off to see if there is any sign of Insectopia. She looked over the grass and notice something.]''
:'''Princess Bala''': Oh, my God! Z! Come here!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': It's Insectopia!
:'''Princess Bala''': You were right. It really is here.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Huh?
:'''Princess Bala''': All right. All right! You're a genius.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Let's eat.
:''[Z has been trying to feast on a sandwich at a picnic, only to be blocked by the clingfilm it's wrapped in]''
:'''Princess Bala''': Well, what's the problem?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': There's some kind of force-field! ''[above them, two wasps, Chip and Muffy, arrive]'' Uh, excuse me? Excuse me? How...How do you get in?
:'''Chip''': ''[flying down to them]'' Yes, yes, well, I'm afraid this is a ''private'' function.
:'''Muffy''': Who are your friends, dear?
:'''Chip''': ''Crawling'' insects, poopsie.
:'''Muffy''': Oh, the poor dears. ''[to Z and Bala, slowly]'' Uh, good...morning!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Huh?
:'''Chip''': Darling, really? Greeting every insect that emerges out of the grass?
:'''Princess Bala''': Pardon me? I guess you don't recognize me! ''[the wasps land in front of them]'' I've been travelling, and I'm all...schlumpy. I'm Princess Bala.
:'''Chip''': Oh! ''[to Muffy]'' It's even worse. They're Eurotrash!
:'''Muffy''': Darling, they're poor, they're dirty, they're smelly. We have to help them. ''[leaning down, to Z and Bala]'' If you just wait right here, we'll get you a little something.
:'''Chip''': Ugh! Please, Muffy, not ''another'' crusade.
:'''Muffy''': Chippy, we have a social obligation to the less fortunate. ''[Chip rolls his eyes]'' I know you laugh at my hobbies, but this is ''important'' to me!
:''[Z and Bala flinch as she stamps in frustration]''
:'''Chip''': Hm. You have such a big heart. That's why you're my little cuddly-widdles...!
:'''Muffy''': Oh, my big strong pheromone factory...!
:''[The wasps start kissing in an exaggerated manner]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh, brother. Suddenly I've lost my appetite. You know... I guess I had imagined Insectopia... I don't know, a little differently.
:''[A massive flyswatter came down on them, Z and Bala dodged in time in one of its holes as it lifted up in the air. Looking over, Bala gasped in horror when she and Z saw that the flyswatter had killed Muffy.]''
:'''Chip''': Oh, Muffy! No! Oh, no! ''[starts crying]''
:'''Princess Bala''': Oh, no.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Look out!
:'''Princess Bala''': Z, help me! Z! Don't let me... Don't let me go, Z. Get me out of here!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Bala! Whoa, this is not good. Whoa! Hi.
:'''Princess Bala''': Z?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yes?
:'''Princess Bala''': It looks like this is it, just when... I was starting to like you.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Who the hell is that?

:''[Weaver is beaten up by soldiers in Mandible's office]''
:'''General Mandible''': That's enough.
:'''Weaver''': I ain't tellin' you nothin'.
:'''General Mandible''': Soldier, the princess is vital to the future of this colony. She must be returned to take their place as queen.
:'''Weaver''': We already have a queen.
:'''General Mandible''': As for your friend, Z, why should I hurt him? ''[chuckling]'' He's not important. Now, soldier, we all know that one individual ant doesn't matter. Not you, not Cutter... not even her.
:''[Azteca is dragged in by more soldiers]''
:'''Weaver''': Azteca! ''[struggles, but is restrained]''
:'''Azteca''': Don't tell that tight-a** anything, Weaver!
:'''General Mandible''': Where is Z?!
:'''Weaver''': I don't know where he is!
:'''General Mandible''': Hmm. That's too bad.
:''[He nods to the soldiers holding Azteca; one closes in on her, and she is heard crying out in pain]''
:'''Weaver''': Wait! Insectopia! I know it sounds crazy, but that's where he'd be going!
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Soldier, you think this is a game? Insectopia does not exist.
:'''General Mandible''': As a matter of fact... it does.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Sir?
:'''General Mandible''': I'll brief you on the coordinates. You're gonna bring the princess back. And as for Z... kill him.
:''[Azteca looks horrified]''
:'''Weaver''': But you said he didn't matter!
:'''General Mandible''': It's for the good of the colony. You made the right decision. Gentlemen, now you can see how dangerous individualism can be. It makes us vulnerable.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Let's go.
:'''General Mandible''': Take him back to the MegaTunnel. Put him on the front line. Dismissed.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Jeez, what was I thinking? I almost got you killed.
:'''Princess Bala''': Z, you know, you really shouldn't be so hard on...
:'''Z Marion-4195''': That's it. I'm taking you back to the colony. Ow! Insectopia. You know, I must've been crazy.
:'''Princess Bala''': Z?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': But you know what? I can admit it when I'm wrong.
:'''Princess Bala''': Z.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': And this time, I gotta tell ya, I was absolutely 100% correct. Have... Have you ever seen anything more beautiful in your life?
:'''Princess Bala''': It's Insect...
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Shh! Don't jinx it. Come on!
:''[Neil Finn music playing a song [[w:I Can See Clearly Now|I Can See Clearly Now]]]''
:'''Neil Finn''': ''[singing]'' ♫I can see clearly now The rain has gone / I can see all obstacles in my way / Gone are the dark clouds That had me blind / It's gonna be a bright, bright, bright, bright, sunshiny day / It's gonna be a bright, bright, bright, bright, sunshiny day / Look all around Nothing but blue skies / Look straight ahead Nothing but blue skies / Whoa / I can see clearly now The rain has gone / I can see all obstacles in my way.♫
:'''General Mandible''': All right, everybody. I want all teams in place, fully prepared, ready to seal the doors here and here. Make certain the digging crew stays on schedule for breakthrough midway in the dedication ceremony. Now all we need is the princess.

:''[Z and Bala sit with some other bugs around a campfire in Insectopia]''
:'''Ladybug''': ''[tasting a brown lump]'' This stuff tastes like crap.
:'''Fly''': Really? Let me try some. ''[tastes it]'' Hey, it ''is'' crap! Not bad. ''[continues eating]'' Somebody needs to feed that fire.
:'''Mosquito''': Dude, I did it last time.
:'''Fly''': Well, I'm not gonna get it. It's not my job.
:'''Ladybug''': What about the new guy? He hasn't contributed yet.
:''[They observe Z and Bala talking by themselves]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[about Barbatus]'' And...you know, he just died in my arms like that. I...You know, I don't think he ever once, in his life, made his own choice.
:'''Princess Bala''': ''[moved and saddened]'' I never knew it was like that. I mean, up in the palace...Well, I guess we just let the General make all the decisions.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Let me ask you something - what made you come to the bar that night?
:'''Princess Bala''' : I guess I was looking for a little trouble.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Well, trouble's my middle name. Actually, my middle name is Marion, but, uh, I don't want you spreading that around.
:'''Princess Bala''': ''[chuckles]'' You're pretty strange. You do know that, don't you?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Well, ''[clears throat]'' "strange" is...not exactly the word ''I'' would use, you know-
:'''Princess Bala''': ''[smiling]'' I like it. You're not like anyone else.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[stammering]'' Actually, now that you mention it, I...there is a certain strangeness to me. I mean, it's a...you know, kind of a bizarre quality. Some have said "freak". But it's, uh, you know, complimentary.
:''[Bala keeps smiling, leaning towards him, and they are about to kiss]''
:'''Fly''': Hey, new guy! We need more wood.
:''[Bala shrugs disappointedly]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I'll be right back. Just hold that thought - whatever...whatever it is you were thinking. ''[to the other bugs, as he leaves]'' Hey, you ever wonder why they call you guys "''pests''"?
:'''Mosquito''': What if, like, we're just these tiny things, and we're just, like, part of this whole other huge universe that's, like, so big we don't even know it exists?
:'''Ladybug''': ''[chuckles]'' Man, that is ''so'' deep.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Perfect. Nothing like a little manual labor on the most romantic night of my life.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Hi. I was in the neighborhood and I thought I'd drop in. This is, uh, very bohemian.
:'''Bug''': Aloha, dude. Welcome to Insec...
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Sorry for interrupting. You see, our princess has, uh, gone missing, and we're just sick about it. She's about yea tall, fairly easy... ''[pause]'' ...on the eyes. Anybody seen her?
:'''Bug''': That's her.
:''[All of the bugs pointed at Bala who tried to get away.]''
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Don't worry, Princess, you'll be back home soon.
:'''Princess Bala''': Listen, Cutter, I'm... I'm not going back.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': ''[sighs]'' The thing is, Princess, I got orders.
:'''Princess Bala''': Orders? Can't you just once think for yourself?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Well, that was very impressive. Where's Z?
:'''Bug''': Z? He's, uh...
:'''Princess Bala''': Dead. Z's dead. You don't need to worry about him.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Z's dead. Well, he was an ant with ideas. Too bad for him. Princess, your colony needs you.
:'''Princess Bala''': Cutter! Stop right now! Let go of me!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Bala! Stop, you... Oh, no. ''[muttering]'' What am I gonna do? All right, look. Let's be rational about this. You know, Bala and I, you know, she's a princess, and I'm a... I'm a soil-relocation engineer. So wha... You're no... Whew! On the other hand, uh, I've gotta go back for her.
:'''Chip''': I'll-I'll give you a lift. S-S-S... ''[falls to the ground]'' It's the least I can do. Besides, it's what my waddly-kittles would want. ''[he starts crying]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Uh, look... ''[clears throat]'' ...how about a cup of joe first?
:'''Chip''': Well, old boy, saddle up.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I think I saw a puddle of coffee over there. It... Whoa! Look out!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''General Mandible''': Ah, Princess. You're just in time.
:'''Princess Bala''': Take your hands of me. General, what exactly is going on here? I demand an explanation.
:'''General Mandible''': I'll explain everything afterwards. Is the southeast entrance secure?
:'''Guard Ant''': Yes, sir.
:'''Princess Bala''': Not afterwards. Now. I don't like the way you think and I don't like the way you run this colony. And I don't like you. The wedding is off. Things are going to change around here.
:'''General Mandible''': You're right, Princess. Things are going to change. Why don't we make her more comfortable? She'll be here for a while.
:'''Princess Bala''': What do you think you're doing? My mother will have your head.
:'''General Mandible''': I doubt that. ''[chuckling]'' Ah, you've got a fighter spirit, Bala. And that's just what we need to start our new colony. We will rinse away all the filth from our gutters. We'll start anew, with you by my side as my queen.
:'''Princess Bala''': You're crazy.
:'''General Mandible''': I believe history will see things differently. All right, gentlemen. Time to take your positions. Someday... Someday you'll thank me.

:'''Z Marion-4195''': So long, Chip. And thanks.
:'''Soldier Ant''': You there. Where do you think you're goin'?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Me? Oh, no, I was just... You know, I...
:'''Soldier Ant''': You're not supposed to be out here. All workers are to report to the tunnel-opening ceremonies.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yes, yes, of course. The-The tunnel-opening ceremonies. I... Well, I should get going, then. I.. ''[he clears throat]'' You know, the-the...
:'''Soldier Ant''': Hey!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I'm going to the... ''[clears throat]'' ...the tunnel opening ceremonies.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Get moving.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': I'd better get goin'. I'm going to the... the tunnel-opening ceremonies. I... Excuse me, please. Tunnel-opening ceremonies.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Hey, worker!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Opening the tunnel. They need me. I'm the key man.
:'''Soldier Ant''': Where do you think you're going?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Tunnel-opening ceremonies.
:'''Princess Bala''': Hey, come on! Let me outta here! Hey!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Gosh, this-this day just keeps getting better and better.
:'''Princess Bala''': I mean big trouble! Are you listening to me out there? I'm the princess, damn it!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Wow, your manners haven't improved much.
:'''Princess Bala''': Z! It's you. You came back for me.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Well, yeah, I came back for you. You know, I have strong feelings for you. Let's face it, you're, you're... ''[he clears throat]'' ...you're beautiful. I... A little combative at times, but I think we can work :on that.
:'''Princess Bala''': You talk too much.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Gee, I think I'm about to become the strong, silent type. Come on. The city's deserted. We'd better get outta here.
:'''Princess Bala''': Z... ''[sighing]'' ...we can't go. Mandible's insane. He... He keeps talking about washing away the filth and-and changing history and, and I think he's going to try to kill my mother.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Not just your mother, everyone.
:'''Princess Bala''': What's going on?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Look. Here we are, safe in the city. But they're gonna seal everybody off in the MegaTunnel. And, here's the lake. You're right. We can't leave now. Come on. We gotta get down there.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''General Mandible''': Today is the realization of a dream. A dream of a proud colony. A pure colony. A colony reborn. Moments from now this tunnel will open. The past will be washed away and a new day will dawn.
:'''Queen''': A stirring speech, General. I only wish my daughter were here to appreciate it.
:'''General Mandible''': Your Majesty, I know how concerned you are about Bala. But my scouts are on her trail and it's only a matter of time...
:'''Queen''': General, I don't want to discuss it. Just find her.
:'''General Mandible''': Oh, I will, Your Highness. Good-bye. Seal up the doors. Cutter, did you hear me?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Sir, I've been thinking. Do we need to go through with this? Look at what these workers have done. They got the right stuff. Isn't there any other way?
:'''General Mandible''': Cutter, you're a fine officer. You have discipline, courage, ability. But you seem to have a certain weakness for the lower orders that I find disturbing. Now, are you with me?
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Sir, uh… I apologize.
:'''General Mandible''': All right, then. Seal it up.
:'''Colonel Cutter''': Yes, sir.
:'''Queen''': As I look out on this magnificent tunnel, I am filled with pride.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Jump!
:'''Queen''': In these difficult times, it is a great solace to know that you, our workers...
:'''Princess Bala''': Mom! Wait!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Every worker in the colony is here. Hey, wait a minute. That guy owes me money.
:'''Queen''': This tremendous accomplishment is a testimony to the strength...
:'''Foreman''': People! Put your backs into it!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Go warn your mother. I gotta get to those diggers before they break through.
:'''Princess Bala''': There's not enough time.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Hey, leave the pessimism to me, okay? ''[Z went to the Tunnel while Bala headed to her mother.]'' Excuse me! Sorry about that. Excuse me.
:'''Queen''': In a few moments, when our expert diggers break through to the surface...
:'''Princess Bala''': Mom! Mom, stop.
:'''Queen''': ...the sun will pour into this... Bala! Where've you been? Are you all right? ''[hugs Bala]''
:'''Princess Bala''': I'm fine.
:'''Queen''': What happened?
:'''Princess Bala''': Mother, we're in terrible danger.
:'''Foreman''': Put your backs into it, people.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Wait! Hold... Hey, stop digging!
:'''Weaver''': Z? Is that you?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Weaver, stop!
:'''Weaver''': Z! You're back! Oh, Z! Oh.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': ''[gasping]'' Weaver!
:'''Azteca''': Z! What's the matter?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Ho-Hold up, everyone. Stop. Stop digging.
:'''Foreman''': On whose authority?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': On your own authority. If you break through that wall, we're all gonna...
:'''Princess Bala''': Drown! This tunnel is going to flood.
:'''Queen''': So we've got to get everyone out of here.
:''[the worker ants murmuring]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Foreman''': Look, I got orders, and those orders say "dig."
:'''Z Marion-4195''': What if someone ordered you to jump off a bridge? Oh, brother, I'm asking the wrong guy here. Look, think for yourselves!
:'''Foreman''': Give me that! I've enough out of you. Get back to work.
:'''Weaver''': What's that noise?
:'''Foreman''': Uh-oh...
:'''Weaver''': Let's get outta here!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Run!
:''[The hole burst open and water gushed through. Z and the other worker ants started to run for their lives.]''
:'''Weaver''': Run! Keep going!
:'''Queen''': Everyone, listen to me. We've all been deceived. We need to calmly head toward the exits.
:'''Digger''': Run for your lives! It's gonna flood!
:'''Queen''': No. Don't panic. Don't panic!
:'''Worker Ant''': Every ant for himself!
:'''Worker Ant''': All the exits are blocked!

:'''Foreman''': There's nothing we can do!

:Worker Ant: Ah!
:Worker Ant: Go Go Go! Dark!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Yes, there is. Weaver, give me a leg up. ''[climbs on Weaver]'' Everyone, listen to me!
:'''Worker Ant''': Who the heck are you?
:'''Princess Bala''': He's Z!
:''[the worker ants chattering]''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Listen, we gotta help each other get outta here before we all drown.
:'''Worker Ant''': How?
:'''Z Marion-4195''': By making a ladder.
:'''Female Ant''': A ladder!
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Hey, if we built this, we can do anything. ''[jumps off Weaver]'' Okay, let's move it!
:'''Weaver''': I'm on it. All of you, gather around. You, start climbing.
:'''Worker Ant''': Grab my arm.
:'''Worker Ant''': All right. Here I go.
:'''Worker Ant''': Come on.
:'''Worker Ant''': Go, go, go!
:'''Worker Ant''': Right!
:'''Azteca''': Excuse me, Your Majesty. ''[holds up the Queen, by climbing up]''
:'''Princess Bala''': Z, I've gotta help my Mom.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Don't worry. I know almost exactly what I'm doing. ''[hugs Bala]'' I'll see you at the top.
:'''General Mandible''': Gentlemen, there comes a time, in the evolution of a perfect colony, when the strong are meant to rise above the weak. Now is that time. Below us right now, the weak elements of the colony, are being washed away.
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Oh, my God, we're not gonna make it! We need more ants.
:'''Weaver''': ''[grunting]'' You two better get up there.
:'''Azteca''': Weaver, you can't hold it alone.
:'''Weaver''': '''GET GOING!'''
:'''Z Marion-4195''': Hang in there, buddy.

We rebuilt the colony - it's even better than before, you know, 'cause now it has a very large indoor swimming pool. Bala and I, incidentally, are thinking of starting a family. You know, just a few kids, maybe a million or two to begin with. And I'm, I'm workin' with a new therapist, you know, terrific, absolutely terrific. He's, he's been putting me in touch with my inner maggot, which is helping me a great deal. And, you know, I finally feel like I found my place, and you know what? It's right back where I started. But the difference is, this time I chose it.
==DORIS DAY lyrics (High Hopes)==
:'''Doris Day''': Next time your found, with your chin on the ground / There a lot to be learned, so look around...| Just what makes that little old ant / Think he'll move that rubber tree plant / Anyone knows an ant, can't / Move a rubber tree plant.
:'''Doris Day and Children''': But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes / He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes.
:'''Doris Day''': So any time your gettin' low / 'Stead of lettin' go / Just remember that ant / Oops there goes another rubber tree plant...| When troubles call, and your back's to the wall / There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall...| Once there was a silly old ram / Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam / No one could make that ram, scram / He kept buttin' that dam.
:'''Doris Day and Children''': 'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes / He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes.
:'''Doris Day''': 'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes / He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes...| So any time your feelin' bad / 'Stead of feelin' sad / Just remember that ram / Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam...| All problems just a toy balloon / They'll be bursted soon / They're just bound to go pop / Oops there goes another problem kerplop...|''[chorus singing]''

== Alonzo Harris ==
* My nigga
* To protect the sheep you gotta catch the wolf, and '''it takes a wolf to catch a wolf.'''
* '''It's not what you know; it's what you can prove.'''
* '''You wanna go to jail or you wanna go home?'''
* My friend? Tell me why...because he knows my first name? Son, this is the game. I'm playing his ass, that's my job, that's your job. Roger sold dope to kids. The world is a better place without him. Hey. This man was the biggest major violator in Los Angeles. I watched that cocksucker operate with impunity for over 10 years, and now I got him. The shit's chess, it ain't checkers. What did you think we were gonna do? we all of a sudden gonna roll up in a black-and-white? Slap the cuffs on him? "You're under arrest"? That's a high roller, dawg.
* I'm sorry I exposed you to it, but it is. It's ugly, but it's necessary.
* You're terrified. Everybody goes through that the first time. I did. I went through it. The sooner you can match what's in your head with what's in the real world, the better you're gonna feel. In this business, you gotta have a little dirt on you for anybody to trust you. When all this is behind you, there's gonna be a whole other world that opens up for you. I walk a higher path, son. I can give you the keys to all the doors.
* My guys are pretty good, but they're not leaders, they're clowns. You're a leader. You want my job? You got it. You want to lock up poisoners? This is the best place to do it. But you gotta just take your time. You'll make detective, play the game, you'll grow wise. And then you can change things. But you got to change them from the inside, son.
* Congratulations, son. You made it. You passed the test. You're a narc. Put the gun down before you give my girl a heart attack.
* You got one problem, though, Jake. You got no witnesses. Who are your fucking witnesses? Huh? Roger? Smiley? You think my troops are gonna help you? It's not what you know it's what you can prove. What can you prove? Huh? Nothing. Where's your evidence?
* Where you at, Jake? Come on out, dawg? ''[singing]'' Oh where, oh where has my little Jake gone? Oh where, oh where can he be? Ah! I see you. You know, I'm surgical with this bitch, Jake! How you want it, dawg? Huh? Closed casket? You remember that fool in the wheelchair? How do you think he got there?
* You ain't never killed nobody before, have you? It ain't like stepping on ants, Jake. It takes a man to kill. Are you man enough to kill, Jake?
* Oh, you motherfuckers. ''[chuckles]'' Okay. All right. I'm putting cases on all of you bitches! Huh? You think you can do this shit? Jake! You think you can do this to me?! You motherfuckers will be playin' basketball in Pelican Bay when I get finished with you! SHU program, nigga! 23 hour lockdown! I'm the man up in this piece! You'll never see the light of-- Who the fuck do you think you fuckin' with?! I'm the police! I run shit here! You just live here! Yeah, that's right, you better walk away! Go on and walk away, 'cause I'm gonna burn this motherfucker down! '''[[King Kong]] ain't got shit on me!''' That's right, that's right. Shit, I don't fuck. I'm winnin' anyway. I'm winnin'. I'm winnin' any motherfuckin' way, I can't lose. Shit, you can shoot me, but you can't kill me. ''[laughing to himself]''
* Shit! Oh, what a day! What a motherfucking day!
== Smiley ==
* Three of a kind beats two pair, you fucking dumb truck.
* Alonzo, he's a hothead. Last week in Vegas some Russian starts talking shit and Alonzo he just snapped. Beat his ass to death. Turns out that Russian is a somebody and now Alonzo, he's into the Russians for a million.
== Moreno ==
* Hey pig, you ever had your shit pushed in? Your shit pushed in. Simple question.

* Smells like bacon in this muthafucka! What I look like, a sucka to you, nigga?! Fuck you, rookie! [''Flees in wheelchair'']

:'''Narrator''': Ruth Powers was tried in Springfield Superior Court. The judge dismissed her ex-husband's auto theft charges and forced him to pay all back child support. Mr. Powers blamed the outcome on his lawyer, one Lionel Hutz. Lionel Hutz, A.K.A. Miguel Sanchez, A.K.A., Dr. Nguyen van Thuoc, was paid $8 for his 32 hours of babysitting, he was glad to get it. Marge Simpson was charged with the violation of penal code section 618A: Wanton Destruction of Precious Antique Cans. She was ordered to pay 50 cents to replace the cans and $2000 in punitive damage and mental anguish. Homer Simpson was remanded to the custody of the United States Army Neurochemical Research Center at Fort Meade, Maryland, for extensive testing.

:'''Bart''': No! This family stinks! Mr. Burns nurtures my destructive side. I'm suffocating here.

:'''Deprogrammer''': Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, your son has clearly been brainwashed by the evil and charismatic Mr. Burns.
:'''Marge''': Are you sure you can get him back for us?
:'''Deprogrammer''': Absolutely. I'm the one who successfully deprogrammed [[Jane Fonda]], you know.
:'''Marge''': What about [[w:Peter Fonda|Peter Fonda]]?
:'''Deprogrammer''': Oh, that was a heartbreaker. But I did get [[Paul McCartney]] out of [[w:Wings (band)|Wings]].

:''[The fake Homer and Marge take off their masks.]''
:'''British Fake Homer''': Sorry, M.B., but I'm having trouble with this character. Is he supposed to have some kind of neurological impairment like Rain Man or Awakenings. I mean, what the hell am I doing here?
:'''Fake Marge''': And this dialogue has none of the wit and sparkle of [[w:Murphy Brown|Murphy Brown]].
:'''Fake Lisa''': [''Takes off his mask and smokes his cigar''] Hey, you know we are getting into Golden Time.

<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Bart Simpson|Bart]]''': Come on, Chalmie, you fired Skinner for less than this.
:'''Superintendent Chalmers''': Yeah, I did, but... Skinner really bugged me. Besides, the way America's public schools are sliding, they'll all be this way in a few months. I say, lay back and enjoy it, it's a hell of a toboggan ride.
:'''[[w:Ned Flanders|Ned]]''': ''[over PA]'' Well, cockly-doodly-doo, little buddies. Let's thank the Lord for another beautiful school day.
:'''Superintendent Chalmers''': Thank the Lor-- thank the Lord? That sounded like a prayer. A prayer. A prayer in a public school! God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion. Simpson, you get your wish. Flanders is history!

It took 75 Federal Marshals to bring him down. Now let's never speak of this again. ''[she then starts humming and dusting the TV]''
:'''Bart''': Mom, what if I can get this guy off the hook? Should I do it?

:'''Skinner''': It means the jury cannot reach a unanimous decision.
:'''Homer''': Uh-huh. And "[[wiktionary:if|if]]"?
:'''Skinner''': Conjunction meaning "in the event that" or "on condition that".
:'''Homer''': So IF we cannot reach a decision, the jury will be DEADLOCKED, and then we'll be SEQUESTERED in the Springfield Palace Hotel.

====''The Thing and I''====
:'''[[w:Julius Hibbert|Doctor Hibbert]]''': Yes, I remember Bart's birth well. You don't forget a thing like... ''[dramatic]'' [[w:conjoined twins|Siamese twins]]!
:'''[[w:Lisa Simpson|Lisa]]''': I believe they prefer to be called "conjoined twins".
:'''Doctor Hibbert''': And Hillbillies prefer to be called "sons of the soil", but it ain't gonna happen!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Flashback is being shown in which Marge has given birth to Siamese twins. One of them starts gnawing on the other's arm.]''
:'''[[w:Marge Simpson|Marge]]''': I think I'll bottle-feed that one.
:'''Doctor Hibbert''': ''[voiceover from the present] A routine soul smear confirmed the presence of pure evil, it was then I knew the option was to separate you 2... immediately. [from the past]'' You both need to sign these. ''[voiceover from the present] But what to do with poor Hugo? Too crazy for Boy's Town; too much of a boy for Crazy Town. The child was an outcast. [Back in the present.]'' So we did the only humane thing.
:'''[[w:Homer Simpson|Homer]]''': We chained Hugo up in the attic like an animal and fed him a bucket of fish heads once a week.
:'''Marge''': It saved our marriage.
====''The Genesis Tub''====
:'''Lisa''': [''finding out that Bart squashed these people on purpose''] Oh, poor little guys. That Bart was so rude.
====''Citizen Kang''====
:'''Kodos''': ''[Disguised as Bill Clinton]'' I am Clin-Ton. As overlord, all will kneel trembling before me and obey my brutal commands. End communication.

:'''Kodos:''' ''[crowd cheers]'' My fellow Americans. As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball. But tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom. ''[crowd cheers]''

:''[After Kang and Kodos have been exposed]''
:'''Kodos''': It’s true; we are aliens. But what are ''you'' going to do about it?! It's a two-party system; you have to vote for one of us!

:'''Voter''': Well I believe I'll vote for a third-party candidate!
:'''Kang''': Go ahead, throw your vote away!
:''[Kang and Kodos laugh out loud. Ross Perot smashes his "Perot 96" hat. The next day, Kodos announces the result.]''

:'''Homer''': ''[chuckles]'' Yes, once.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Scorpio''': Good afternoon, gentlemen. This is Scorpio. I have the doomsday device. You have 72 hours to deliver the gold or you face the consequences. And to prove I'm not bluffing, watch this.

:'''UN Man 1''': ''[all the men look at the explosion]'' Oh my God, the 59th Street Bridge.

<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Unseen by Homer, Scorpio has a [[w:James Bond|James Bond]]-esque secret agent chained to a table under a laser, a la [[w:Goldfinger (film)|Goldfinger]].]''
:'''Scorpio''': Ingenious, isn't it Mr. Bont?
:'''Mr. Bont''': ''[in an accent reminiscent of [[w:Sean Connery|Connery]]]'' Scorpio, you're totally mad!
:'''Scorpio''': Ha, I wouldn't point fingers, you jerk!
:'''Mr. Bont''': So do you expect me to talk?
:'''Scorpio''': I don't expect anything from you except to die and be a cheap funeral.

'''''[[w:Kramer vs. Kramer|Kramer vs. Kramer]]''''' is a [[w:1979 in film|1979 film]] about a divorce and its impact on everyone involved, including the couple's young son. It received five Academy Awards at the 52nd Academy Awards in 1980, in the categories of Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.
:''Directed and written by [[w:Robert Benton|Robert Benton]], adapted from the novel by [[w:Avery Corman|Avery Corman]].''
== Ted Kramer ==
* For the last six months I've been spitting blood to get this agency one of the biggest account it's ever had. And at five o'clock this afternoon, we got the account. At eight o'clock, I am walking home with the vice president and tells me I'll be the next creative director of this department. I come through this door to share with my wife one of the five best days of my life, and she looks at me and tells me she doesn't want to live with me anymore! Can't you understand what she's done to me?
* ''[having lunch with his boss]'' So the other morning, I'm at the refrigerator... you know, getting Billy ready for school. So I'm just in my underwear and he notices I've lost weight. And he comes in and pats me. He comes up to here... ''[touches his stomach]''... and he says "Daddy, you've really lost a lot of weight", he looks up at me and he says "And it's all gone to your nose." ''[laughs]'' He was so cute. You know?
* ''[in court]'' There's a lot of things I didn't understand, a lot of things I'd do different if I could. Just like I think there's a lot of things you wish you could change, but we can't. Some things once they're done can't be undone. My wife, my ex-wife, says that she loves Billy, and I believe she does, but I don't think that's the issue here.
* If I understand it correctly, what means the most here is what's best for our son. What's best for Billy. My wife used to always say to me: 'Why can't a woman have the same ambitions as a man?' I think you're right. And maybe I've learned that much. But by the same token, I'd like to know, what law is it that says that a woman is a better parent simply by virtue of her sex? You know, I've had a lot of time to think about what it is it that makes somebody a good parent? You know, it has to do with constancy, it has to do with patience, it has to do with listening to him. It has to do with pretending to listen to him when you can't even listen anymore. It has to do with love, like, like, like she was saying. And I don't know where it's written that it says that a woman has a corner on that market, that, that a man has any less of those emotions than a woman does.
* Billy has a home with me. I've made it the best I could. It's not perfect. I'm not a perfect parent. Sometimes I don't have enough patience because I forget that he's a little kid. But I'm there. We get up in the morning and then we eat breakfast, and he talks to me and then we go to school. And at night, we have dinner together and we talk then and I read to him. And, and we built a life together and we love each other. If you destroy that, it may be irreparable. Joanna, don't do that, please. Don't do it twice to him.

:'''Billy Kramer''': I love you too, Mommy.

:'''Ted Kramer''': For the last six months I've been spitting blood to get this agency one of the biggest account it's ever had. And at five o'clock this afternoon, we got the account.

I come through this door to share with my wife one of the five best days of my life, and she looks at me and tells me she doesn't want to live with me anymore!. Can't you understand what she's done to me?
:'''Margaret Phelps''': Yeah, She loused up one of the five best days of your life.
:'''Ted Kramer''': You're terrific. Boy, you're.... thanks very much, really. Sisterhood.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Ted Kramer''': Margaret, I just need to know something. Did you set my wife up to this?
:'''Margaret Phelps''': No, I did not put Joanna up to this.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Give her a little pep talk, maybe?
:'''Margaret Phelps''': Joanna is a very unhappy woman and it took a lot of courage for her to walk out of here.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Really. How much courage does it take to walk out on your kid?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Billy Kramer''': When's mommy coming back?

:'''Billy Kramer''': How soon?
:'''Ted Kramer''': Soon.
:'''Billy Kramer''': Will she pick me up after school?
:'''Ted Kramer''': Probably. And if she doesn't I will.
:'''Billy Kramer''': What if you forget?
:'''Ted Kramer''': I won't forget.
:'''Billy Kramer''': What if you get run over by a truck and get killed?
:'''Ted Kramer''': Then Mommy will pick you up.

:'''Billy Kramer and Phyllis Bernard''': ''[simultaneously]'' Hi.
:'''Billy Kramer''': What's your name?
:'''Phyllis Bernard''': I'm Phyllis Bernard.
:'''Billy Kramer''': Who?
:'''Phyllis Bernard''': I'm a friend... uh, business associate of your father's... dad.
:'''Ted Kramer''': ''[In the bedroom]'' Oh, Jesus.
:'''Billy Kramer''': Do you like fried chicken?
:'''Phyllis Bernard''': Fried chicken? Very much.
:'''Billy Kramer''': So do I.
:'''Phyllis Bernard''': Umm... well, it's really... It's been nice seeing you and...
:'''Billy Kramer''': Bye.
:'''Phyllis Bernard''': Bye.

:'''Phyllis Bernard''': Kramer, I just met your son.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Ted and Billy are having dinner]''
:'''Ted Kramer''': How was school today?
:'''Billy Kramer''': Same as usual.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Hey, I see the Knicks finally won a game, what do you know?
:'''Billy Kramer''': I don't care.
:'''Ted Kramer''': What do you mean?
:'''Billy Kramer''': I like Boston.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Boston? Why do you like Boston?
:'''Billy Kramer''': Because Mommy's from Boston.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Okay, sit up and try to eat. Come on.
:'''Billy Kramer''': Can I be excused? I wanna go to bed.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Too much birthday cake?
:'''Billy Kramer''': Yeah, I guess.
:'''Ted Kramer''': I'm sorry. Excuse me. Louise, give me a hand.
:'''Louise''': You're 15 minutes late. Mr. O'Connor is very upset.
:'''Ted Kramer''': This all of it?
:'''Louise''': Yes. Do you want your mail now?
:'''Ted Kramer''': No, just give me the messages. Remind me to get a Crying Chrissie doll at lunch.
:'''Louise''': Okay, okay.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Sorry I'm late.
:'''Louise''': And there's a PTA meeting at the school on Tuesday at 4.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Right, thanks. Put the chicken in the refrigerator.
:'''Margaret Kramer''': Know who Charley's seeing now?
:'''Ted Kramer''': Who?
:'''Margaret Kramer''': A divorced woman with two little girls the same age as Kim and Petey.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Are you kidding? Are you kidding?
:'''Margaret Kramer''': Nope.
:'''Ted Kramer''': How do you know?
:'''Margaret Kramer''': I know.
:'''Ted Kramer''': How long has it been since you and Charlie broke up?
:'''Margaret Kramer''': A year and a half.
:'''Ted Kramer''': That long? I did I ever tell you how sorry, how really sad Joanna and I were, when you guys split?
:'''Margaret Kramer''': Look at that cute little boy ''[laughs]'' over there.
:'''Ted Kramer''': You think you'll ever get married again?
:'''Margaret Kramer''': Uh-uh.
:'''Ted Kramer''': I mean, to anybody.
:'''Margaret Kramer''': Uh-uh!
:'''Ted Kramer''': Why?
:'''Margaret Kramer''': I don't know, maybe it's different if you don't have children, but... even if Charley and I aren't living together, and even if we're sleeping with other people, and... even if Charley were to get married again... I don't know, he's still... my husband and he's still the father of my children and... ''[sighs]'' That stuff about "till death do you part," that's really true.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Well, let me ask you this. Let's say Charley finishes his midlife crisis, and he's had it with his flings, and comes asking for forgiveness. What would you do?
:'''Margaret Kramer''': I think...that if he really loved me...he wouldn't have let me divorce him. ''[long pause]''
:'''Ted Kramer''': You still think about him, don't you?
:'''Margaret Kramer''': Only all the time. ''[pause]'' Think about Joanna?
:'''Ted Kramer''': Never.
:'''Margaret Kramer''': ''[laughs]'' You liar!
:'''Ted Kramer''': Some pair, boy...

:''[Billy makes noises playing with a toy plane]''
:'''SpongeBob SquarePants''': All right, come on, put that down and eat your dinner, it's getting cold.
:'''Billy Kramer''': What is this crap?
:'''SpongeBob SquarePants''': It's Salisbury steak.
:'''Billy Kramer''': I hate it.
:'''SpongeBob SquarePants''': You do not hate it. You had it last week and you loved it.
:'''Billy Kramer''': No, I didn't.
:'''SpongeBob SquarePants''': Um-hmm!
:'''Billy Kramer''': I hate the brown stuff. It's gross.
:'''SpongeBob SquarePants''': All that is is onions and gravy.
:'''Billy Kramer''': I'm allergic to onions, SpongeBob.
:'''SpongeBob SquarePants''': You are not allergic to onions. You had this last week, and remember, I told you it was my favourite when I was a little boy, and you said 'It's my favourite, too.'
:'''Billy Kramer''': I did not.
:'''SpongeBob SquarePants''': Yes, you did. Here. It's regular hamburger. Just give it a little bite. It's delicious!
:''[Billy make a sound as though about to throw up]''
:'''SpongeBob SquarePants''': So what's the matter?
:'''Billy Kramer''': I think I'm gonna throw up.
:'''SpongeBob SquarePants''': No, you're not, now you're gonna eat your...
:'''Billy Kramer''': It's eee-yucky!
:'''SpongeBob SquarePants''': It is not 'yucky', Billy. Eat it!
:'''Billy Kramer''': Do you remember to bring the chocolate chip ice cream home?
:'''SpongeBob SquarePants''': ''[angrily, making fun of Billy's question]'' Yes, I did remember to bring the chocolate chip ice cream home, and you can't have any of it until you eat all your dinner, and then eat your meat and your corn... ''[changes tone of voice]'' Where are you going? Get back here right now, did you hear me? You'd better not do that. You'd better stop right there, fella, I'm warning you. Hey! Did you hear me? ''[while Billy bring ice cream to the table]'' Now you listen to me! Don't be smart now. You go right back and put that back until you finish your dinner so eat it... Okay, I'm warning you, you take one bite out of that and you're in big trouble. Don't... Hey! Don't you dare... Don't you ''dare'' do that. You hear me? Hey! Stop! Hold it right there! You put that ice cream in your mouth and you are in very, very, ''very'' big trouble! Don't you dare go anywhere beyond that... Put it down right now, I'm not going to say it again. I'm ''not'' going to say it again! ''[Billy eat ice cream and SpongeBob loses his temper, gets up from the chair to snatch Billy up and cart him toward his bedroom as punishment]'' I am not...
:'''Billy Kramer''': ''[shrieking]'' Ow! You're hurting me! ''[kicks SpongeBob]''
:'''SpongeBob SquarePants''': ''[raging madly]'' That's it! OW! Don't you kick me!
:'''Billy Kramer''': I hate you!
:''[SpongeBob kicks the door open as they reach the bedroom]''
:'''SpongeBob SquarePants''': ''[furious]'' Well, you're no bargain either, pal! You are a spoiled, rotten little brat and I'll tell you right now... ''[unceremoniously dumps him on the bed]''
:'''Billy Kramer''': ''[yelling furiously]'' '''I HATE YOU!!!'''
:'''SpongeBob SquarePants''': ''[still furious, ignoring Billy's rant]'' '''AND I HATE YOU BACK, YOU LITTLE SHIT!!!''' ''[storms out of the room]''

:'''Billy Kramer''': ''[does a tantrum]'' I want my mommy!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Billy Kramer''': Daddy?
:'''Ted Kramer''': Yeah?
:'''Billy Kramer''': I'm sorry.
:'''Ted Kramer''': I'm sorry too. I want you to go to sleep because it's really late.
:'''Billy Kramer''': Daddy?
:'''Ted Kramer''': Now what is it?
:'''Billy Kramer''': Are you going away?
:'''Ted Kramer''': No. I'm staying here with you. You can't get rid of me that easy.
:'''Billy Kramer''': That's why Mommy left, isn't it? Because I was bad?
:'''Ted Kramer''': Is that what you think? No. That's not it, Billy. Your mom loves you very much... and the reason she left has nothing to do with you. I don't know if this will make sense, but I'll try to explain it to you. I think the reason why Mommy left... was because for a long time... I kept trying to make her be a certain kind of person. A certain kind of wife that I thought she was supposed to be. And she just wasn't like that. She was... She just wasn't like that. I think that she tried for so long to make me happy... and when she couldn't, she tried to talk to me about it. But I wasn't listening. I was too busy, too wrapped up... just thinking about myself. And I thought that anytime I was happy, she was happy. But I think underneath she was very sad. Mommy stayed here longer than she wanted because she loves you so much. And the reason why Mommy couldn't stay anymore... was because she couldn't stand me. She didn't leave because of you. She left because of me. Go to sleep now because it's really late, okay? Good night, sleep tight.
:'''Billy Kramer''': Don't let the bedbugs bite.
:'''Ted Kramer''': See you in the morning light.
:'''Billy Kramer''': Daddy?
:'''Ted Kramer''': Yeah?
:'''Billy Kramer''': I love you.
:'''Ted Kramer''': I love you, too.

:''[Joanna returns to New York]''
:'''Joanna Kramer''': All my life I've felt like...somebody's wife or somebody's mother, somebody's daughter. Even all the time we were together I never knew who I was. And that's why I had to go away. And in California, I think I found myself. I got myself a job. I got myself a therapist, a really good one. And I feel better about myself than I ever have in my whole life. I learned a great deal about myself.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Such as?... No, really, I'd really like to know what you learned.
:'''Joanna Kramer''': Well, I've learned that I love my little boy. And that I'm capable of taking care of him.
:'''Ted Kramer''': What do you mean?
:'''Joanna Kramer''': I want my son.
:'''Ted Kramer''': You can't have him
:'''Joanna Kramer''': Don't get defensive. Don't try to bully me.
:'''Ted Kramer''': I'm not getting defensive. Who walked out 15 months ago?
:'''Joanna Kramer''': I don't care. I'm still his mother.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Yeah, from 300 miles away. And because you sent post cards gives you the right to come back?
:'''Joanna Kramer''': I never stopped wanting him.
:'''Ted Kramer''': What makes you sure he wants you?
:'''Joanna Kramer''': What makes you sure he doesn't want me?
:'''Ted Kramer''': Okay look. We're gonna sit here and bat this back and forth. It's like old times.
:'''Joanna Kramer''': You can't deny me...
:'''Ted Kramer''': Don't tell me what I can or cannot do! Don't talk to me that way!
:'''Joanna Kramer''': I anticipated this.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Okay look, I don't want to hear this. Do what you have to. I'll do what I have to.
:'''Joanna Kramer''': Fine... I am very sorry about this.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Okay, just do what you have to do.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Ted Kramer hires a lawyer]''
:'''Ted Kramer''': I don't know the legal jargon for it, but I think it's "desertion." I don't mean to tell you your job, but I think I have an open-and-shut case.
:'''John Shaunessy''': Well, at first Mr. Kramer, there's no such thing as an open-and- shut case where custody is involved. I'll bet your ex-wife has already found a lawyer who's advised her to move back to establish residency. The burden is on us to prove that your ex-wife is an unfit mother. That means I'll have to play rough. If I play rough, you can bet they will too. Can you take that?
:'''Ted Kramer''': Yes.
:'''John Shaunessy''': And it's going to cost you $15,000.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Ted Kramer gets fired]''
:'''Ted Kramer''': You're firing me?
:'''Jim O'Connor''': Yeah, I'm letting you go, yes.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Why?
:'''Jim O'Connor''': Now, look, Ted, this is a very painful thing for me. You don't know how badly I feel,. I've been getting a lot of pressure from the guys upstairs, and there wasn't anything else I could do. I thought a lot about this and it's really better this way. If I took your stripes... if I put you on a schlock account, you'd hate it, and me for doing it. This way it's a clean break. And believe me, that's the best thing.
:'''Ted Kramer''': You know my wife is fighting me for custody?. You know that we're going to court?. Do you know what my chances are if I'm out of a job?.
:'''Jim O'Connor''': Look, I understand that you're upset...
:'''Ted Kramer''': I don't want to beg, but I'm asking you, please, as a friend. Ah?... I'm asking you.
:'''Jim O'Connor''': You're an extremely bright guy. You've got a hell of a talent. You're gonna land on your feet. You're gonna survive...Teddy, look. I know you may be short on cash. No big hurry about paying this back.
:'''Ted Kramer''': Shame on you!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Joanna Kramer''': I woke up this morning, kept thinking about Billy and I-I was thinking about him waking up in his room with his little clouds all around that I painted. And I thought I should have painted clouds downtown, because then he would think that he was waking up at home. I came here to take my son home. And I realized he already is home. Oh, I love him very much. ''[Joanna and Ted hug]'' I'm not gonna take him with me. Can I go up and talk to him?...
:'''Ted Kramer''': Listen why don't you go upstairs and see him and I'll wait here.
:'''Joanna Kramer''': ''[wipes the tears from her eyes and pats her hair]'' How do I look?
:'''Ted Kramer''': You look terrific.

I could not find the following quotes in "A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich":
* '''A man should build a house with his own hands before he calls himself an engineer.'''
* '''A man with two trades to his credit can easily learn another ten.'''
I searched the text (with a browser search function) found at: http://www.davar.net/EXTRACTS/FICTION/ONE-DAY.HTM. I also skimmed the whole printed version of the book and didn't find anything even semantically related to these quotes. I am a first-time Wikiquote editor, so I don't know the etiquette of changing an entry, but these really should be deleted or the particular edition/translation of the book ought to be given to validate them. Other quotes for this book also might be in error and could be checked. If these quotes belong to another book, I would like to know, as they are very good quotes. --[[User:Devon Brewer|Devon Brewer]] ([[User talk:Devon Brewer|talk]]) 03:16, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
I had checked the Gulag article before pasting my recent revisions, to make sure there were no changes since I began editing it weeks ago, but I forgot to check this one. I will be working on this today, and replacing any quotes I inadvertently removed, or did not transfer to ''[[The Gulag Archipelago]]''. ~ [[User:Kalki|Kalki]] 12:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
I added "Don't believe them, don't fear them, don't ask anything of them." Source is a presentation by Dmitry Orlov's which can be found [http://www.energybulletin.net/23259.html here].[[User:Nklatt|Nklatt]] 22:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

* First would be the literary side, then the spiritual and philosophical. The political side is required principally because of the necessity of the current Russian position.
* History has in different questions laid out some tremendous turnabouts and curves.
* '''I cannot suggest political ways out, that is the task of politicians, so it is simply that those who accuse me of this do not know how to read.'''
* '''I have not painted the dark reality in rose-tinted shades but I do include a clear way, a search for something brighter, some way out — most importantly in the spiritual sense.'''
* '''If one is forever cautious, can one remain a human being?'''
* '''It would have been difficult to design a path out of communism worse than the one that has been followed.'''
* '''Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.'''
* '''The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. "One word of truth outweighs the world."'''
** The second statement of this quote is a variant of what he calls a Russian proverb in his Nobel lecture of 1970.
* Man has set for himself the goal of conquering the world but in the processes loses his soul.
* Our government declared that it is conducting some kind of great reforms. In reality, no real reforms were begun and no one at any point has declared a coherent programme.
* Religion always remains higher than everyday life. In order to make the elevation towards religion easier for people, religion must be able to alter its forms in relation to the consciousness of modern man.
* Russians are exiting from communism in a most unfortunate and awkward way.
* Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask; by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?
* That which is called humanism, but what would be more correctly called irreligious anthropocentrism, cannot yield answers to the most essential questions of our life.
* The central government possesses no plan of finding the way out of this blind alley.
* The demands of internal growth are incomparably more important to us... than the need for any external expansion of our power.
* The name of "reform" simply covers what is latently a process of the theft of the national heritage.
* The next war... may well bury Western civilization forever.
* There are a lot of clear thinkers everywhere.
* This book is an agglomeration of lean-tos and annexes and there is no knowing how big the next addition will be, or where it will be put. At any point, I can call the book finished or unfinished.
* Today when we say the West we are already referring to the West and to Russia. We could use the word "modernity" if we exclude Africa, and the Islamic world, and partially China.
* We have arrived at an intellectual chaos.
* When you come to think of it, a blizzard is no use to anybody.
* Don't believe them, don't fear them, don't ask anything of them.
** Referring to the Soviet government.
* After flinging away the United Nations Organization, after trampling its charters, NATO is ruling the world and for the next century we will have an ancient law - those with power will unconditionally right... Before the eyes of humanity a beautiful European country is being destroyed, while civilized governments are applauding. Meanwhile, despaired people, leaving bomb shelters, form human shields to protect Danube bridges... This is the world we are offered to live in from now on.
* Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.

*"Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened." (He heard this as a child by people who said this to explain the suffering of the Russian people; as an adult he said "...if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened.")
*”Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.

Man, this author's page is a shambles. The quotes were clearly added by people with little familiarity with him. It's utterly baffling that the top quotes in the page are one and all, not important ones from his major books, which showcase his central ideas, but totally peripheral utterances. Choosing quotes from some relatively letters to stick at the top of a Nobel Prize winner's list of quotations? Seriously? Whoever did that must have rocks in their head. Likewise, the quotes for each work are badly chosen and do little to give an idea of its essence and main ideas.
The discussions here, likewise, betray a lack of familiarity with the subject on the part of the participants. Somebody more knowledgeable on this writer needs to redo this page. It's a joke.

I could not find the following quotes in "A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich":
* '''A man should build a house with his own hands before he calls himself an engineer.'''
* '''A man with two trades to his credit can easily learn another ten.'''
I searched the text (with a browser search function) found at: http://www.davar.net/EXTRACTS/FICTION/ONE-DAY.HTM. I also skimmed the whole printed version of the book and didn't find anything even semantically related to these quotes. I am a first-time Wikiquote editor, so I don't know the etiquette of changing an entry, but these really should be deleted or the particular edition/translation of the book ought to be given to validate them. Other quotes for this book also might be in error and could be checked. If these quotes belong to another book, I would like to know, as they are very good quotes. --[[User:Devon Brewer|Devon Brewer]] ([[User talk:Devon Brewer|talk]]) 03:16, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
:Oh, dear. My good sir/madam, here's some advice for you. When you're working with a foreign writer, it's kind of basic common sense that given their writing is first published in a different language and only then translated to English, that multiple English translations of the text might exist. And therefore, the wording of one might be different than the text you've found.
:The quote is there, all right. I recognized it right away, it's from the scene late in the book where the busybody inspector is coming to check on the prisoners' bricklaying. You couldn't find it because 1. a simple CTRL+F won't do the trick because the wording of the translated copy you found is different 2. you've never read the book, and can't rely on your knowledge/memory of it.
:The paragraph both quote is from in full, is:
:"Shukhov was well on with the third row (and Kildigs had just started his third) when yet another watchdog, another boss man, started up the ramp — Der, the overseer of building works. A Muscovite. Supposed to have worked in a ministry.
:Shukhov, close to Kildigs by now, pointed at Der.
:"So what?" Kildigs said. "I never have anything to do with the bosses. Call me, though, if he falls off the ramp."
:Now he'd be standing behind the layers, watching. If there was one thing Shukhov couldn't endure, it was these spectators. Trying to wangle himself an engineer's job, the pig-faced bastard. Started showing me how to lay blocks once. Laughed myself sick. '''Till you've built one house with your own hands, you're no engineer.''' That's how I see it.
:And then one paragraph further, the second line:
:"They didn't have brick buildings in Temgenyovo, the cottages were all built of wood. Even the school was a log cabin — they'd brought ten-meter tree trunks from the state forest. But when the camp suddenly needed a bricklayer — Shukhov thought he might as well be one. '''If you can do two things with your hands, you'll soon pick up another ten'''."
:
:My other advice for you guys would be, you should maybe not work on editing the pages of writers whose works you aren't familiar with. [[Special:Contributions/~2026-39297-72|~2026-39297-72]] ([[User talk:~2026-39297-72|talk]]) 02:06, 11 July 2026 (UTC)
I had checked the Gulag article before pasting my recent revisions, to make sure there were no changes since I began editing it weeks ago, but I forgot to check this one. I will be working on this today, and replacing any quotes I inadvertently removed, or did not transfer to ''[[The Gulag Archipelago]]''. ~ [[User:Kalki|Kalki]] 12:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
I added "Don't believe them, don't fear them, don't ask anything of them." Source is a presentation by Dmitry Orlov's which can be found [http://www.energybulletin.net/23259.html here].[[User:Nklatt|Nklatt]] 22:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

* First would be the literary side, then the spiritual and philosophical. The political side is required principally because of the necessity of the current Russian position.
* History has in different questions laid out some tremendous turnabouts and curves.
* '''I cannot suggest political ways out, that is the task of politicians, so it is simply that those who accuse me of this do not know how to read.'''
* '''I have not painted the dark reality in rose-tinted shades but I do include a clear way, a search for something brighter, some way out — most importantly in the spiritual sense.'''
* '''If one is forever cautious, can one remain a human being?'''
* '''It would have been difficult to design a path out of communism worse than the one that has been followed.'''
* '''Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.'''
* '''The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. "One word of truth outweighs the world."'''
** The second statement of this quote is a variant of what he calls a Russian proverb in his Nobel lecture of 1970.
* Man has set for himself the goal of conquering the world but in the processes loses his soul.
* Our government declared that it is conducting some kind of great reforms. In reality, no real reforms were begun and no one at any point has declared a coherent programme.
* Religion always remains higher than everyday life. In order to make the elevation towards religion easier for people, religion must be able to alter its forms in relation to the consciousness of modern man.
* Russians are exiting from communism in a most unfortunate and awkward way.
* Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask; by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?
* That which is called humanism, but what would be more correctly called irreligious anthropocentrism, cannot yield answers to the most essential questions of our life.
* The central government possesses no plan of finding the way out of this blind alley.
* The demands of internal growth are incomparably more important to us... than the need for any external expansion of our power.
* The name of "reform" simply covers what is latently a process of the theft of the national heritage.
* The next war... may well bury Western civilization forever.
* There are a lot of clear thinkers everywhere.
* This book is an agglomeration of lean-tos and annexes and there is no knowing how big the next addition will be, or where it will be put. At any point, I can call the book finished or unfinished.
* Today when we say the West we are already referring to the West and to Russia. We could use the word "modernity" if we exclude Africa, and the Islamic world, and partially China.
* We have arrived at an intellectual chaos.
* When you come to think of it, a blizzard is no use to anybody.
* Don't believe them, don't fear them, don't ask anything of them.
** Referring to the Soviet government.
* After flinging away the United Nations Organization, after trampling its charters, NATO is ruling the world and for the next century we will have an ancient law - those with power will unconditionally right... Before the eyes of humanity a beautiful European country is being destroyed, while civilized governments are applauding. Meanwhile, despaired people, leaving bomb shelters, form human shields to protect Danube bridges... This is the world we are offered to live in from now on.
* Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.

*"Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened." (He heard this as a child by people who said this to explain the suffering of the Russian people; as an adult he said "...if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened.")

I could not find the following quotes in "A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich":
* '''A man should build a house with his own hands before he calls himself an engineer.'''
* '''A man with two trades to his credit can easily learn another ten.'''
I searched the text (with a browser search function) found at: http://www.davar.net/EXTRACTS/FICTION/ONE-DAY.HTM. I also skimmed the whole printed version of the book and didn't find anything even semantically related to these quotes. I am a first-time Wikiquote editor, so I don't know the etiquette of changing an entry, but these really should be deleted or the particular edition/translation of the book ought to be given to validate them. Other quotes for this book also might be in error and could be checked. If these quotes belong to another book, I would like to know, as they are very good quotes. --[[User:Devon Brewer|Devon Brewer]] ([[User talk:Devon Brewer|talk]]) 03:16, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
:Oh, dear. My good sir/madam, here's some advice for you. When you're working with a foreign writer, it's kind of basic common sense that given their writing is first published in a different language and only then translated to English, that multiple English translations of the text might exist. And therefore, the wording of one might be different than the text you've found.
:The quote is there, all right. I recognized it right away, it's from the scene late in the book where the busybody inspector is coming to check on the prisoners' bricklaying. You couldn't find it because 1. a simple CTRL+F won't do the trick because the translation you found is different, and 2. you've never read the book, and so can't rely on your knowledge/memory of it.
:The passage the first quote is from, is:
:"Shukhov was well on with the third row (and Kildigs had just started his third) when yet another watchdog, another boss man, started up the ramp — Der, the overseer of building works. A Muscovite. Supposed to have worked in a ministry.
:Shukhov, close to Kildigs by now, pointed at Der.
:"So what?" Kildigs said. "I never have anything to do with the bosses. Call me, though, if he falls off the ramp."
:Now he'd be standing behind the layers, watching. If there was one thing Shukhov couldn't endure, it was these spectators. Trying to wangle himself an engineer's job, the pig-faced bastard. Started showing me how to lay blocks once. Laughed myself sick. '''Till you've built one house with your own hands, you're no engineer.''' That's how I see it.
:And then, the next paragraph down, we have:
:"They didn't have brick buildings in Temgenyovo, the cottages were all built of wood. Even the school was a log cabin — they'd brought ten-meter tree trunks from the state forest. But when the camp suddenly needed a bricklayer — Shukhov thought he might as well be one. '''If you can do two things with your hands, you'll soon pick up another ten'''."
:
:My other advice for you guys would be, you should maybe not work on editing the pages of writers whose works you aren't familiar with. [[Special:Contributions/~2026-39297-72|~2026-39297-72]] ([[User talk:~2026-39297-72|talk]]) 02:06, 11 July 2026 (UTC)
I had checked the Gulag article before pasting my recent revisions, to make sure there were no changes since I began editing it weeks ago, but I forgot to check this one. I will be working on this today, and replacing any quotes I inadvertently removed, or did not transfer to ''[[The Gulag Archipelago]]''. ~ [[User:Kalki|Kalki]] 12:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
I added "Don't believe them, don't fear them, don't ask anything of them." Source is a presentation by Dmitry Orlov's which can be found [http://www.energybulletin.net/23259.html here].[[User:Nklatt|Nklatt]] 22:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

* First would be the literary side, then the spiritual and philosophical. The political side is required principally because of the necessity of the current Russian position.
* History has in different questions laid out some tremendous turnabouts and curves.
* '''I cannot suggest political ways out, that is the task of politicians, so it is simply that those who accuse me of this do not know how to read.'''
* '''I have not painted the dark reality in rose-tinted shades but I do include a clear way, a search for something brighter, some way out — most importantly in the spiritual sense.'''
* '''If one is forever cautious, can one remain a human being?'''
* '''It would have been difficult to design a path out of communism worse than the one that has been followed.'''
* '''Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.'''
* '''The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. "One word of truth outweighs the world."'''
** The second statement of this quote is a variant of what he calls a Russian proverb in his Nobel lecture of 1970.
* Man has set for himself the goal of conquering the world but in the processes loses his soul.
* Our government declared that it is conducting some kind of great reforms. In reality, no real reforms were begun and no one at any point has declared a coherent programme.
* Religion always remains higher than everyday life. In order to make the elevation towards religion easier for people, religion must be able to alter its forms in relation to the consciousness of modern man.
* Russians are exiting from communism in a most unfortunate and awkward way.
* Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask; by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?
* That which is called humanism, but what would be more correctly called irreligious anthropocentrism, cannot yield answers to the most essential questions of our life.
* The central government possesses no plan of finding the way out of this blind alley.
* The demands of internal growth are incomparably more important to us... than the need for any external expansion of our power.
* The name of "reform" simply covers what is latently a process of the theft of the national heritage.
* The next war... may well bury Western civilization forever.
* There are a lot of clear thinkers everywhere.
* This book is an agglomeration of lean-tos and annexes and there is no knowing how big the next addition will be, or where it will be put. At any point, I can call the book finished or unfinished.
* Today when we say the West we are already referring to the West and to Russia. We could use the word "modernity" if we exclude Africa, and the Islamic world, and partially China.
* We have arrived at an intellectual chaos.
* When you come to think of it, a blizzard is no use to anybody.
* Don't believe them, don't fear them, don't ask anything of them.
** Referring to the Soviet government.
* After flinging away the United Nations Organization, after trampling its charters, NATO is ruling the world and for the next century we will have an ancient law - those with power will unconditionally right... Before the eyes of humanity a beautiful European country is being destroyed, while civilized governments are applauding. Meanwhile, despaired people, leaving bomb shelters, form human shields to protect Danube bridges... This is the world we are offered to live in from now on.
* Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.

*"Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened." (He heard this as a child by people who said this to explain the suffering of the Russian people; as an adult he said "...if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened.")
*”Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.

The following is '''a list of last words attributed to various fictional characters in films'''. Characters are listed according to the originating film, then the name of character the quote is attributed to (in case of more than one quote per source). Where quotes come from a series of films, they are organized in the order of the films they appeared in (for example, quotes from the first ''[[Kill Bill]]'' film appear before quotes from the second film, and so on). Where possible, for the purposes of clarification, further explanatory notes have been presented. Additionally, if a character's final words consist of a dialogue with the other characters, the other character's speech may be included for contextual purposes; for example, if one character asks a question that the one who is about to die answers.
Some characters may have more than one "death," in instances such as being resurrected, or existing temporarily as an undead being. In some of those instances, their last words from each "death" may be added if they are significant. Additionally, significant last words from deaths that are merely assumed to have happened or are non-canon are included. In instances where there are multiple outcomes, or in media with alternate timelines, the character's last words will also be featured.

{{center|'''A New Power Is Rising.''' ([[#taglines|taglines]])}}
== Aragorn ==
* Rohan, realm of the horse lords. There is something evil at work in these lands. Something evil gives speed to these creatures and sets its will against us.
* It is an army bred for a single purpose: to destroy the World of Men.
* Show them ''no'' mercy... for ''you'' shall receive none!
== Gandalf the White ==
* I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide.
* The coming of Merry and Pippin will be like the falling of small stones that starts an avalanche in the mountains.
* Be silent! Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth! I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm.
* I will draw you, Saruman, as poison is drawn from a wound!
* Three hundred lives of men I've walked this earth and now I have no time. With luck, my search will not be in vain. Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East.
* Sauron's wrath will be terrible, his retribution swift. The battle for Helm's Deep is over. The battle for Middle Earth is about to begin.
== Gollum/Sméagol ==
* The thieves! The thieves! The filthy little thieves!
* We swears to serve the master of the precious. We'll swear on...on the precious!
* We be nice to them, if they be nice to us.
== Sam Gamgee ==
* It's me. It's your Sam. Don't you know your Sam?
* It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand, I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something...That there's some good in the world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.
== Saruman ==
* The world is changing. Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard...and Mordor? To stand against the might of Sauron ''and'' Saruman and the union of the two towers? Together, my Lord Sauron, we shall rule this Middle-Earth. The old world will burn in the fires of industry. The forests will fall. A new order will rise. We will drive the machine of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fist of the Orc. We have only to remove those who oppose us.
* A new power is rising! Its victory is at hand! This night, the land will be stained with the blood of Rohan! March to Helm's Deep! Leave none alive! ''To war!'' There will be no dawn...''for Men.''
== Théoden ==
* Your leech-craft would have had me crawling on all fours like a ''beast!''
* So it begins.
* So much death... what can Men do against such reckless hate?
* Let this be the hour when we draw swords together! Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red dawn!
== Others ==
* '''Elrond''': He will come to death, an image of the splendour of the kings of men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world. But you, my daughter, you will linger on in darkness and in doubt, as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Here you will dwell, bound to your grief, under the fading trees, until all the world is changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent.
* '''Faramir''': A chance for Faramir, captain of Gondor, to show his quality.
* '''Frodo''': This is Sting. You've seen it before, haven't you... ''Gollum''. Release him, or I'll cut your throat!
* '''Gimli''': Three days and nights pursuit. No food, no rest! Nor a sign of a quarry of what a bare rock can tell!
* '''Gimli''': I'm wasted on cross-country! We dwarves are natural sprinters! Very dangerous over short distances!
* '''Merry''': The fires of Isengard will spread. And the woods of Tuckborough and Buckland will burn. And all that was once green and good in this world will be gone. There won't ''be'' a Shire, Pippin.
* '''Treebeard''': It takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.
* '''Treebeard''': Many of these trees were my friends. Creatures I had known from nut and acorn.
* '''Uglúk''': I don't take orders from orc maggots.
== Dialogue ==
:''[In the rocky passes of Emyn Muir, Sam and Frodo are struggling to descend a cliff using the Elven rope]''
:'''Sam''': Can you see the bottom?
:'''Frodo''': No! Don't look down, Sam, just keep going!
:'''Sam''': ''[suddenly loses his footing and drops a small box from his bag. Sam fails to catch it on time]'' Catch it! Grab it, Mr. Frodo!
:'''Frodo''': ''[manages to catch the box but he slips and falls to the ground, which is already near]'' I think I found the bottom!
:'''Sam''': ''[descends quickly]'' Bogs and ropes and goodness knows what. It's not natural! None of it.
:'''Frodo''': ''[referring to the box]'' What's in this?
:'''Sam''': Nothing, just a little bit of seasoning. I thought maybe if we was having a roast chicken one night, or something.
:'''Frodo''': Roast chicken?
:'''Sam''': You never know.
:'''Frodo''': Oh, Sam, my dear Sam. ''[opens the box and finds it full of salt]''
:'''Sam''': That's very special. It's the best salt in all the Shire.
:'''Frodo''': It is special. It's a little bit of home. ''[goes to the Elven rope still tied up at the rock where they descended from]'' We can't just leave this for someone who'd follow us down.
:'''Sam''': Who's gonna follow us down here, Mr. Frodo? It's a shame leaving it, Lady Galadriel gave me that. Real Elvish rope. It's one of my knots, it won't come off free in a hurry. ''[tries pulling it to prove it could not be untied but then the rope unties itself and falls to the hobbits]''
:'''Frodo''': Real Elvish rope!
:''[Ascending a nearby rock. From a distance, they can see the black clouds of Mordor]''
:'''Sam''': Mordor. The one place in Middle-earth we don't want to see any closer, and the one place we're trying to get to. And just where we can't get! Let's face it, Mr. Frodo, we're lost. I don't think Gandalf meant for us to come this way.
:'''Frodo''': He didn't mean for a lot of things to happen, Sam...but they did. ''[as he looks at the dark clouds looming from Mordor, he suddenly has a vision of Sauron's eye glaring at him, causing him to sit down and tremble in pain]''
:'''Sam''': Mr. Frodo? It's the Ring, isn't it?
:'''Frodo''': Yes, it's getting heavier. ''[Sam takes a sit as well]'' What food have we got left?
:'''Sam''': Let me see. ''[checks the bag and pulls out a wrapped lembas bread]'' Lovely, lembas bread. And look! ''[pulls out two more pieces of lembas bread]'' More lembas bread. ''[opens one and they eat the bread]'' I don't usually own foreign food, but this Elvish stuff, it's not bad.
:'''Frodo''': Nothing ever dampens your spirits, does it, Sam?
:'''Sam''': ''[looks at the coming rain clouds]'' Well, those rain clouds might.

[[File:Bilbo and frodo sword-United Cutlery 2002-P5120126-black.jpg|thumb|This is Sting. You've seen it before, haven't you... ''Gollum''.]]
:'''Gollum''': The thieves! The thieves! The filthy little thieves! Where is it?
:''[Gollum reaches out his hand towards the hobbits. Suddenly, the hobbits are spring up, grab hold of Gollum's arms and pull him down. Frodo draws his sword and puts it to Gollum's throat]''
:'''Frodo''': This is Sting. You've seen it before, haven't you... '''''Gollum'''''. Release him or I'll cut your throat!
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Gollum''': ''[Sam has him tethered with the Elven rope]'' IT ''BURNS!'' IT BURNS US! It freezes! Nasty Elves twisted it. TAKE IT OFF US!
:'''Sam''': Quiet, you! ''[to Frodo]'' It's hopeless! Every Orc in Mordor's gonna hear this racket! Let's just tie him up and leave him.
:'''Gollum''': NO! That would kill us! ''Kill'' us! ''[groans and writhes on the rocks]''
:'''Sam''': It's no more than you deserve!
:'''Frodo''': Maybe he does deserve to die. But now that I see him, I do pity him.
:'''Gollum''': ''[gets up, trying to be polite]'' We be nice to them, if they be nice to us. Take it off us! We swears to do what you wants! We swears...
:'''Frodo''': There's no promise you can make that I can trust.
:'''Gollum''': We swears to serve the master of the precious. We'll swear on...on the precious! ''Gollum, gollum.''
:'''Frodo''': The Ring is treacherous. I will hold you to your word.
:'''Gollum''': Yes...on the precious. On the precious.
:'''Sam''': ''[brief silence]'' I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! ''[Gollum tries to flee, but Sam pulls him back by the rope]'' Get down! I said DOWN!
:'''Frodo''': Sam!
:'''Sam''': He's trying to trick us! If we let him go, he'll throttle us in our sleep!
:''[Gollum gasps, clutching at the rope around his neck; Frodo approaches him]''
:'''Frodo''': You know the way into Mordor?
:'''Gollum''': ''[afraid]'' Yes...
:'''Frodo''': You've been there before?
:'''Gollum''': Yes...
:'''Frodo''': ''[removes the rope]'' You will lead us to the Black Gate.

:''[The Uruk-hai have just captured Pippin and Merry and they are on their way to Isengard until a group of Mordor orcs stop them]''
:'''Grishnákh''': You're late! Our master grows impatient. He wants the Shire rats now!
:'''Uglúk''': I don't take orders from orc maggots. Saruman will have his prize! We will deliver them.
:'''Pippin''': ''[noticing Merry is unconscious]'' Merry? Merry! Wake up. ''[to the Uruks]'' My friend is sick. He needs water. Please!
:'''Uglúk''': Sick, is he? Give him some medicine, boys!
:''[The Uruks pour Orc-liquor down Merry's throat, which he coughs and spits out]''
:'''Pippin''': Stop it!
:'''Uglúk''': Can't take his draught! ''[laughs cruelly]''
:'''Pippin''': Leave him alone!
:'''Uglúk''': Why? You want some? Huh? Then keep your mouth shut.
:'''Pippin''': Merry.
:'''Merry''': Hello, Pip.
:'''Pippin''': You're hurt.
:'''Merry''': I'm fine. It was just an act.
:'''Pippin''': An act?
:'''Merry''': ''[smiles]'' See? Fooled you too. Don't worry about me, Pippin.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Aragorn''': ''[on the ground, listening to the thundering dash of the sprinting Uruks]'' Their pace has quickened. They must have caught our scent. ''[to Gimli and Legolas]'' Hurry!
:'''Legolas''': Come on, Gimli!
:'''Gimli''': ''[struggling to catch up]'' Three days and nights pursuit. No food, no rest! Nor a sign of a quarry of what a bare rock can tell!
:''[Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, now known as the Three Hunters, run across the plains, pursuing the Uruks who have Pippin and Merry. The Hunters soon stop upon seeing a Lorien leaf pin, which was dropped by Pippin to leave a mark for his rescuer]''
:'''Aragorn''': ''[picking up the leaf]'' Not idly do the leafs of Lorien fall.
:'''Legolas''': They may yet be alive.
:'''Aragorn''': Less than a day ahead of us.
:''[As they sprint, Gimli, exhausted, falls down]''
:'''Legolas''': Come, Gimli! We're gaining on them!
:'''Gimli''': I'm wasted on cross-country! We dwarves are natural sprinters! Very dangerous over short distances!
:''[The Hunters then stop upon seeing the sight of a wide plain familiar to the Hunters]''
:'''Aragorn''': Rohan, realm of the horse lords. There is something evil at work in these lands. Something evil gives speed to these creatures and sets its will against us. ''[ascending a rock to get a further look. He then notices Legolas using his farsight powers]'' Legolas! What do your Elf eyes see?
:'''Legolas''': The Uruks turned northeast! ''They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard!''
:'''Aragorn''': ''[realizing something]'' Saruman.
<hr width=50%/>
:''[An eored of Rohirrim under Éomer, the nephew of King Théoden, have just arrived in the aftermath of the Battle of the Fords of Isen]''
:'''Éomer''': Théodred. ''[to the Rohirrim]'' Find the king's son!
:''[The Rohirrim search through the corpses of both orcs and Rohirrim]''
:'''Soldier''': ''[angrily]'' Mordor will pay for this!
:'''Éomer''': ''[kicks an orc corpse to get a better look on its armor's sigil and sees a white hand mark]'' These orcs are not from Mordor.
:'''Soldier''': My lord Éomer! Over here!
:'''Éomer''': ''[races to the waters where the soldier finds a familiar soldier who is wounded and barely alive, Éomer recognizes who he is]'' He's alive!
<hr width=50%/>
:''[Their cousin Théodred is dying, but unbeknownst to them, their uncle Théoden suddenly grew old while being possessed and controlled by Saruman]''
:'''Éowyn''': Your son is badly wounded, my lord.
:'''Éomer''': He was ambushed by Orcs. If we don't defend our country, Saruman will take it by force.
:'''Gríma Wormtongue''': That is a lie. Saruman the White has ever been our friend and ally.
:'''Théoden''': Gríma...Gríma...Gríma...
:'''Éomer''': Orcs are roaming freely across our lands. Unchecked, unchallenged, killing at will. Orcs bearing the White Hand of Saruman. ''[tosses an Orc helmet at Théoden's feet]''
:'''Gríma Wormtongue''': Why do you lay these troubles on an already troubled mind? Can you not see your uncle is wearied by your malcontent? Your warmongering?
:'''Éomer''': Warmongering? ''[grabs Gríma by the throat]'' How long is it since Saruman bought you? What was the promised price, Gríma? When all the Men are dead, you'll take your share of the treasure? ''[Gríma glances at Éowyn as she leaves the room]'' Too long have you watched my sister! Too long have you haunted her steps!
:''[Guards seize Éomer from behind, forcing him to release Gríma]''
:'''Gríma Wormtongue''': You see much, Éomer, son of Éomund. Too much. ''[guards begin to drag Éomer out]'' You are here forth banished from the Kingdom of Rohan and all its domains, under pain of death.
:'''Éomer''': You have no authority here! Your orders mean nothing!
:'''Gríma Wormtongue''': This order does not come from me. It comes from the King. ''[holds up a decree bearing Théoden's signature and seal]'' He signed it this morning.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Mauhúr''': I'm starving! We ain't had nothing but maggoty bread for three stinking days!
:'''Snaga''': Yeah! Why can't we have some meat? ''[staring at Merry and Pippin]'' What about them? They're fresh!
:'''Uglúk''': They are ''not'' for eating!
:'''Grishnákh''': What about their legs? They don't need those. Ooh, they look tasty...!
:'''Uglúk''': ''[pushing Grishnákh away]'' Get back, scum! The prisoners go to Saruman, alive and unspoiled!
:'''Grishnákh''': Alive? Why alive? Do they give good sport?! ''[gnashes teeth]''
:'''Uglúk''': They have something. An Elvish weapon. The Master wants it for the War.
:'''Pippin''': ''[whispering to Merry]'' They think we have the Ring.
:'''Merry''': Shh! As soon as they find out we don't, we're dead.
:'''Snaga''': ''[approaching the Hobbits with a blade]'' Carve them up! Just a mouthful! A bit off the flank!
:'''Uglúk''': No! ''[with one swing of his own blade, he cuts off Snaga's head, and his body collapses onto the ground]'' Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!
:''[The Orcs and Uruks proceed to devour Snaga's body]''
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Éomer''': What business does an Elf, a Man, and a Dwarf have in the Riddermark? Speak quickly!
:'''Gimli''': Give me your name, Horse-master, and I shall give you mine.
:'''Éomer''': ''[dismounts horse]'' I would cut off your head, Dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground.
:'''Legolas''': ''[quickly draws his bow]'' You would die before your stroke fell!
:''[Rohirrim point spears at Legolas, Aragorn signals for Legolas to bring down his weapon]''
:'''Aragorn''': I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn. This is Gimli, son of Glóin, and Legolas of the Woodland Realm. We are friends of Rohan, and of Théoden, your King.
:'''Éomer''': Théoden no longer recognizes friend from foe. Not even his own kin. ''[removes helmet]'' Saruman has poisoned the mind of the king and claimed lordship over these lands. My company are those loyal to Rohan, and for that we are banished. The White Wizard is cunning. He walks here and there they say, as an old man hooded and cloaked. And everywhere his spies slip past our nets.
:'''Aragorn''': We are no spies. We track a party of Uruk-Hai, Westward across the plain. They have taken two of our friends captive.
:'''Éomer''': The Uruks are destroyed. We slaughtered them during the night.
:'''Gimli''': But there were two Hobbits! Did you see two Hobbits with 'em?
:'''Aragorn''': They would be small. Only children to your eyes.
:'''Éomer''': We left none alive. We piled the carcasses and burned them.
:'''Gimli''': Dead?
:'''Éomer''': ''[nods]'' I am sorry. ''[whistles]'' Hasufel! Arod! ''[two riderless horses approach]'' May these horses bear you to better fortune than their former masters. Farewell. Look for your friends. But do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands. ''[to the other Rohirrim]'' We ride North!
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Treebeard''': Little Orcs! Bru-ra-hroom!
:'''Pippin''': It's talking, Merry! The tree is talking!
:'''Treebeard''': Tree?! I am no tree! I am an Ent.
:'''Merry''': A tree-herder. A shepherd of the forest!
:'''Pippin''': Don't talk to it, Merry! Don't encourage it!
:'''Treebeard''': Treebeard, some call me.
:'''Pippin''': And, whose side are you on?
:'''Treebeard''': Side? I am on nobody's side, because nobody is on my side, little Orc. Nobody cares for the woods anymore.
:'''Merry''': We're not Orcs! We're Hobbits!
:'''Treebeard''': Hobbits? Mmm...never heard of a Hobbit before. Sounds like Orc mischief to me! They come with fire, they come with axes! Gnawing, biting, breaking, hacking, burning! Destroyers and usurpers, ''curse them!''
:'''Merry''': No! You don't understand! We're Hobbits! Halflings! Shire-folk!
:'''Treebeard''': Maybe you are, and maybe you aren't. The White Wizard will know.
:'''Pippin''': The White Wizard?
:'''Merry''': Saruman.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Sam''': It's a bog! He's lead us into a swamp!
:'''Gollum''': Swamp, yes. Yes. Come master, we will take you on safe path through the mist. I found it, I did. A way through the marshes. Orcs don't use it. Orcs don't know it. They go around, for miles and miles! Come quickly. Soft and swift as shadows, we must be.
:''[The hobbits and Gollum take a rest for a short while]''
:'''Sam''': ''[referring to the Dead Marshes]'' I hate this place, it's too quiet. There hasn't been a sight or sound of birds for days.
:'''Gollum''': No, no birdses to eat. No crunchables. We are famished, precious! Famished, we are! ''[Gollum later finds a worm and eats it. Sam, who is eating a lembas bread, suddenly loses his appetite out of disgust after watching Gollum eat]''
:'''Frodo''': Here. ''[throws a piece of lembas to the starving Gollum]''
:'''Gollum''': What is it they eats? Is it tasty? ''[Gollum picks up the bread and eats it, only to spit it out in disgust]'' It tries to chokes us! We can't eats hobbit food! We must starve!
:'''Sam''': Well, starve then! Good riddance!
:'''Gollum''': Oh, cruel hobbit! ''[to Sam]'' He does not care if we be hungry. He does not care if we should die! ''[turns to Frodo]'' Not like Master. Master cares for us. ''[starts nearing Frodo as he stares at him holding the ring around his neck]'' Once it takes a hold of us, it never lets go.
:'''Frodo''': ''[noticing Gollum's hand is reaching for the ring]'' Don't touch me!
:''[The hobbits and Gollum continue the walk when suddenly, Sam notices a lot of corpses nearby]''
:'''Sam''': There are dead things. Dead faces in the water!
:'''Gollum''': ''All'' dead. ''All'' rotten. Elves, and Men, and Orcses. A great battle long ago...The Dead Marshes. Yes, yes, that is their name! This way. Don't follow the lights. ''[Sam slips and almost ends up in the water]'' Careful now! Or Hobbits go down to join the Dead Ones, and light little candles of their own.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Gollum''': ''[to himself]'' So bright...so beautiful...my precious...
:'''Frodo''': What did you say?
:'''Gollum''': Master should be resting. Master needs to keep up his strength.
:'''Frodo''': Who are you?
:'''Gollum''': Mustn't ask us, not its business. ''Gollum, gollum.''
:'''Frodo''': Gandalf told me you were one of the River-folk.
:'''Gollum''': ''[ignoring him]'' Cold be heart and hand and bone. Cold be travelers far from home.
:'''Frodo''': He said your life was a sad story.
:'''Gollum''': They do not see what lies ahead, when Sun has faded and Moon is dead!
:'''Frodo''': You were not so very different from a Hobbit once, were you...''Sméagol''?
:'''Gollum''': ''[stunned]'' What...What did you call me?
:'''Frodo''': That was your name once, wasn't it? A long time ago.
:'''Gollum''': My name? My name... ''[smiles]'' Sméagol.
<hr width=50%/>
:''[Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli are tracking Merry and Pippin through Fangorn Forest]''
:'''Aragorn''': These are strange tracks.
:'''Gimli''': The air is so close in here!
:'''Legolas''': This forest is old. Very old...full of memory...and anger. ''[the trees groan, Gimli holds up his axe]'' The trees are speaking to each other.
:'''Aragorn''': ''[whispers loudly]'' Gimli! Lower your axe.
:'''Legolas''': They have feelings, my friend. ''[Gimli lowers his axe]'' The Elves began it. Waking up the trees, teaching them to speak.
:'''Gimli''': Talking trees? What do trees have to talk about, hm? Except the consistency of squirrel droppings.
:'''Legolas''': ''[in Elvish]'' Aragorn, something's out there.
:'''Aragorn''': ''[in Elvish]'' What do you see?
:'''Legolas''': ''[in common tongue]'' The White Wizard approaches.
:'''Aragorn''': Do not let him speak. He will put a spell on us. ''[Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli ready their weapons]'' We must be quick.
:''[They turn to confront the White Wizard, who appears before them enveloped in a blinding light. Gimli hurls his axe, and Legolas shoots an arrow, which the White Wizard deflects with his staff. Aragorn holds up his sword, which burns hot in his hand, forcing him to drop it]''
:'''White Wizard''': You are tracking the footsteps of two young Hobbits.
:'''Aragorn''': Where are they?
:'''White Wizard''': They passed this way, the day before yesterday. They met someone they did not expect. Does that comfort you?
:'''Aragorn''': Who are you? Show yourself! ''[the White Wizard reveals himself to be Gandalf]'' It cannot be.
:'''Legolas''': Forgive me. I mistook you for Saruman.
:'''Gandalf''': I ''am'' Saruman. Or rather, Saruman as he should have been.
:'''Aragorn''': You fell.
:'''Gandalf''': Through fire and water. From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak, I fought with the Balrog of Morgoth. Until at last, I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin upon the mountainside. Darkness took me. And I strayed out of thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead and everyday was as long as a life-age of the earth. But it was not the end. I felt life in me again. I've been sent back until my task is done.
:'''Aragorn''': Gandalf...
:'''Gandalf''': Gandalf? Yes...that's what they used to call me. Gandalf the Grey. That was my name.
:'''Gimli''': ''[surprised]'' Gandalf!
:'''Gandalf''': I am Gandalf the White. And I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide. One stage of your journey is over, another begins. War has come to Rohan. We must ride to Edoras with all speed.
:'''Gimli''': Edoras? That is no short distance!
:'''Aragorn''': We heard of the trouble at Rohan. It goes ill with the king.
:'''Gandalf''': Yes, and he may not be easily cured.
:'''Gimli''': Then we have come all this way for nothing! Are we going to leave those poor little Hobbits here in this horrid, dark, dank, tree-infested-! ''[reacts to the rumbling sound of the trees]'' I mean...charming, quite charming, forest?
:'''Gandalf''': It was more than mere chance that brought Merry and Pippin to Fangorn. A great power has been sleeping here for many long years. The coming of Merry and Pippin will be like the falling of small stones that starts an avalanche in the mountains.
:'''Aragorn''': In one thing you have not changed, my friend. You still speak in riddles. ''[he and Gandalf chuckle]''
:'''Gandalf''': A thing is about to happen that has not happened since the elder days. The Ents are going to wake up...and find that they are strong.
:'''Gimli''': Strong?! ''[reacts to the sound of trees again; nervous]'' Oh, that's good.
:'''Gandalf''': So stop your fretting, Master Dwarf! Merry and Pippin are quite safe! In fact, they're far safer than ''you'' are about to be!
:'''Gimli''': ''[to himself]'' This new Gandalf's more grumpy than the old one.

:'''Frodo''': ''[about to enter the Black Gate]'' I do not ask you to come with me, Sam.
:'''Sam''': I know, Mr. Frodo. I doubt even these Elvish cloaks will hide us in there.
:'''Frodo''': Now!
:''[Frodo and Sam lunge forward to make a run for the Black Gate, but Gollum grabs them and pulls them back]''
:'''Gollum''': ''[as Sméagol]'' NO! No! No, Master! They catch you! They ''catch you!'' Don't take it to him! He wants the precious! Always, he is looking for it! And the precious is wanting to go back to him. But we mustn't let him have it. ''[an Orc horn sounds in the distance, and the Black Gate begins to close. Frodo tries again to run toward it, but Gollum grabs his arm, holding him back]'' No! There's another way. More secret, a dark way.
:'''Sam''': Why haven't you spoken of this before?!
:'''Gollum''': ''[as Sméagol]'' Because Master did not ask.
:'''Sam''': ''[to Frodo]'' He's up to something!
:'''Frodo''': Are you saying there's another way into Mordor?
:'''Gollum''': ''[as Sméagol]'' Yes. There's a path, and some stairs, and then...a tunnel.
:'''Frodo''': ''[after a brief pause]'' He's led us this far, Sam.
:'''Sam''': Mr. Frodo, no.
:'''Frodo''': He's been true to his word.
:'''Sam''': Noǃ
:'''Frodo''': Lead the way, Sméagol.

:''[Extended Edition only, Pippin is drinking water from a spring in Fangorn Forest]''
:'''Pippin''': I had the loveliest dream last night. There was this large barrel full of pipe-weed. And we smoked all of it. And then...you were sick. I'd give anything for a whiff of Old Toby.
:'''Merry''': ''[hearing a tree moan]'' Did you hear that? ''[hearing it again]'' There it is again! Something's not right here, not right at all. ''[Pippin stands up and groans, sounding much like a moaning tree]'' You just said something...treeish!
:'''Pippin''': No, I didn't, I was just stretching. ''['groans' again, growing slightly]''
:'''Merry''': You're taller!
:'''Pippin''': Who?
:'''Merry''': You!
:'''Pippin''': Than what?
:'''Merry''': Than me!
:'''Pippin''': I've always been taller than you!
:'''Merry''': Pippin, everyone knows, I'm the tall one, you're the short one.
:'''Pippin''': Please, Merry. You're, what, three foot six? At the most? Whereas me, I'm pushing three-seven. ''[groans and grows more noticeably]'' Three-eight! ''[drinks more water]''
:'''Merry''': Three foot eight? ''[realizing]'' You did something.
:''[Pippin smiles innocently and places the bowl of forest water down. Merry, realizing the water is making Pippin taller, steals a pot and drinks some himself]''

:'''Treebeard''': The trees have grown wild and dangerous. Anger festers in their hearts. Black are their thoughts. ''Strong'' is their hate. They will harm you if they can. There are too few of us now. Too few of us Ents left to manage them.
:'''Pippin''': Why are there so few of you when you've lived so long? Are there Ent children?
:'''Treebeard''': Bru-ra-hroom. There have been no Entings for a terrible long count of years.
:'''Merry''': Why is that?
:'''Treebeard''': We lost the Entwives.
:'''Pippin''': Oh, I'm sorry. How did they die?
:'''Treebeard''': Die? No. We lost them, and now we cannot find them. I don't suppose you've seen Entwives in the Shire?
:'''Merry''': Can't say that I have. You, Pip?
:'''Pippin''': What do they look like?
:'''Treebeard''': I don't remember now.

:'''Gríma Wormtongue''': ''[finds Éowyn crying over Théodred's body]'' Oh, he...he must have died sometime in the night. What a tragedy for the king to lose his only son and heir. I understand his passing is hard to accept, especially now that your brother has deserted you.
:'''Éowyn''': ''[bitter and repulsed]'' Leave me alone, snake!
:'''Gríma Wormtongue''': Oh, but you ''are'' alone. Who knows what you've spoken to the darkness? In bitter watches of the night, when all your life seems to shrink, the walls of your bower closing in about you, like a hutch to trammel some wild thing in! ''[putting a hand to her cheek]'' So fair, so cold, like a morning of pale spring still clinging to winter's chill...

:'''Gríma Wormtongue''': My Lord, Gandalf the Grey is coming. He is a herald of woe.
:'''Gandalf''': The courtesy of your hall is somewhat lessened of late, Théoden King.
:'''Gríma Wormtongue''': He is not welcome here.
:'''Théoden''': ''[weakly]'' Why should I welcome you, Gandalf Stormcrow?
:'''Gríma Wormtongue''': A just question, my liege. Late is the hour in which this conjurer chooses to appear! ''Láthspell'' I name him. Ill news is an ill guest.
:'''Gandalf''': Be silent! Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth! I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm. ''[points his staff at Grima]''
:'''Gríma Wormtongue''': ''[terrified]'' The staff! ''[to guards]'' I TOLD YOU TO TAKE THE WIZARD'S STAFF!
:''[The guards attempt to restrain the group, and a fight breaks out; Gandalf approaches Théoden]''
:'''Gandalf''': Théoden! Son of Thengel! Too long have you sat in the shadows.

:'''Gandalf''': ''[to Théoden]'' Harken to me! I release you from this spell... ''[attempts to remove Saruman's influence, seemingly to no avail]''
:'''Théoden''': ''[laughs cruelly]'' You have no power here, Gandalf the Grey! ''[continues to laugh]''
:'''Gandalf the White''': ''[removes his grey cloak, stunning Théoden with the white robe beneath]'' I will draw you, Saruman, as poison is drawn from a wound! ''[casts a spell, knocking Théoden]''
:'''Aragorn''': ''[stops Éowyn from rushing to Théoden's side]'' Wait.
:'''Saruman''': ''[Speaking through Théoden]'' If I go...Théoden dies!
:'''Gandalf the White''': ''[casts another spell]'' You did not kill me...you will not kill him!
:'''Saruman''': ''[speaking through Théoden]'' Rohan is mine!
:'''Gandalf the White''': ''[casts another spell]'' Begone!
:''[Théoden lunges in anger, but Gandalf successfully casts Saruman's influence out. Slowly, he becomes himself again]''
:'''Éowyn''': ''[rushes to his side]'' Uncle?
:'''Théoden''': I...I recognize your face. Éowyn. Gandalf?
:'''Gandalf the White''': Breathe the free air again, my friend.

:''[Gríma's treachery is revealed and he is thrown out of the hall]''
:'''Gríma Wormtongue''': ''[pleading as he crawls away]'' I've only ever served you, my lord!
:'''Théoden''': ''[furious, advancing on Gríma with sword in hand]'' Your leech-craft would have had me crawling on all fours like a ''beast!''
:'''Gríma Wormtongue''': ''[pleading]'' Send me not from your sight!

:'''Théoden''': ''[holding a flower in front of Théodred's tomb after his son's funeral]'' Simbelmynë. Ever has it grown on the tombs of my forebears. Now it shall cover the grave of my son. Alas that these evil days should be mine. The young perish, and the old linger. That I should live...to see the last days of my house.
:'''Gandalf the White''': Théodred's death was not of your making.
:'''Théoden''': No parent should have to bury their child. ''[begins to sob]''

:'''Sam''': ''[to Gollum]'' Hey, stinker! Don't go getting too far ahead.
:'''Frodo''': Why do you do that?
:'''Sam''': What?
:'''Frodo''': Call him names, run him down all the time.
:'''Sam''': Because...Because that's what he is, Mr. Frodo. There's naught left in him but lies and deceit. It's the Ring he wants; it's all he cares about.
:'''Frodo''': You have no idea what it did to him. What it's ''still'' doing to him! I want to help him, Sam.
:'''Sam''': Why?
:'''Frodo''': Because I have to believe he can come back.
:'''Sam''': You can't save him, Mr. Frodo.
:'''Frodo''': ''[angrily]'' What do you know about it?! Nothing! ''[instantly remorseful]'' I'm sorry, Sam. I don't know why I said that.
:'''Sam''': I do. It's the Ring. You can't take your eyes off it. I've seen you. You're not eating; you barely sleep. It's taken hold of you, Mr. Frodo. You have to fight it!
:'''Frodo''': ''[angry again]'' I ''know'' what I have to do, Sam. The Ring was entrusted to me! It's ''my'' task! ''Mine! My own!''
:'''Sam''': Can't you hear yourself? Don't you know who you sound like?

:'''Gollum''': We wants it, we ''needs'' it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little Hobbitses! Wicked, tricksy, false!
:'''Sméagol''': No. Not Master.
:'''Gollum''': Yes, Precious. False! They will cheat you, hurt you. Lie!
:'''Sméagol''': Master's my friend!
:'''Gollum''': You don't ''have'' any friends! ''Nobody likes you!''
:'''Sméagol''': ''[covers his ears]'' Not listening...I'm not listening...
:'''Gollum''': You're a liar and a thief.
:'''Sméagol''' No.
:'''Gollum''': ''[grins]''Murderer.
:'''Sméagol''': ''[miserable]'' Go away.
:'''Gollum''': "Go away?" ''[laughs cruelly]''
:'''Sméagol''': ''[starts to cry]'' I hate you. I ''hate'' you!
:'''Gollum''': Where would you be without me?! ''Gollum! Gollum!'' ''I'' saved us! It was ''me''. We survived because of ''me!''
:'''Sméagol''' ''[stops crying, realizes something]'' Not anymore.
:'''Gollum''': What did you say?
:'''Sméagol''': Master looks after us now. We don't need you.

:''[Gollum is silent, Sméagol looks around, delighted]''

:'''Gollum''': ''[wails]'' What's it doing?! Stupid, ''fat'' Hobbit! It ''ruins'' it!
:'''Sam''': What's to ruin? There's hardly any meat on them. What we need is a few good taters.
:'''Gollum''': What's "taters", precious? What's "taters", eh?
:'''Sam''': Po-ta-toes! Boil em, mash em, stick 'em in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish. ''[Gollum spits in disgust]'' Even ''you'' couldn't say no to that.

:''[Frodo follows the strange bird noises to a nearby cliff and sees a massive army of Southrons marching along the road. Sam and Gollum later appear behind him]''
:'''Sam''': Who are they?
:'''Gollum''': Wicked Men, servants of Sauron. The Dark one is gathering all evil to him. It won't be long now, he will soon be ready.
:'''Sam''': Ready to do what?
:'''Gollum''': To make his war. The last war, that will cover all the world.
:'''Frodo''': We have got to keep moving. Come on, Sam!
:'''Sam''': ''[notices two gigantic Mumakil marching with the Southrons]'' Wait, Mr. Frodo, look! It's an oliphaunt. ''[the hobbits are amazed to see such creatures]'' No one at home will believe this.
:''[The hobbits hear the bird noises again and this time, it's louder. Then the Southrons are ambushed by an unseen army. Arrows start flying at them and at their Mumakil, causing them to go on a rampage. One Mumakil heads to the direction of Frodo and Sam before it turns to its left and a Southron soldier falls from its tower, dead and struck by an arrow]''
:'''Frodo''': ''[noticing the body]'' We've lingered here for too long. Let's go! Come on, Sam!
:''[Frodo is suddenly captured by a hooded man: a ranger. Sam is quick to notice and he races to save Frodo but he is quickly overpowered and pushed to the ground by other rangers. One of them draws a sword at him]''
:'''Sam''': Wait! We're innocent travelers!
:'''Ranger commander (Faramir)''': There are no travelers in these lands. Only servants of the Dark Tower.
:'''Frodo''': We are bound to an errand of secrecy. Those who claim to oppose the enemy would do well not to hinder us.
:'''Faramir''': The enemy? ''[turns over the body of a fallen Haradrim soldier, shown to be a young man]'' His sense of duty was no less than yours, I deem. You wonder what his name is. Where he came from. If he was really evil at heart. What lies or threats led him on this long march from home? And he'd not rather had stayed there, at peace. War will make corpses of us all.

:'''Gimli''': ''[to Éowyn]'' It's true you don't see many Dwarf women. In fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they're often mistaken for Dwarf men.
:'''Aragorn''': ''[mouths words to Éowyn]'' It's the beards.
:'''Gimli''': This in turn has given raise to the belief that there ''are'' no women. And that Dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground! ''[Éowyn laughs]'' Which is of course ridiculous.

:'''Éowyn''': I made some stew! It's not that much, but it's hot. ''[gives Aragorn a bowl of hot stew]''
:'''Aragorn''': ''[eats the stew, only to realize that its flavour is horrible so, as to not offend Éowyn that she made a bad stew, he forcefully swallows it]'' It's good.
:'''Éowyn''': ''[happily]'' Really? ''[while she turns around for a moment, Aragorn quickly dumps the stew but she turns back to him to ask him]'' My uncle told me a strange thing. He said that you rode to war with Thengel, my grandfather. But he must be mistaken.
:'''Aragorn''': King Théoden has a good memory. He was only a small child at the time.
:'''Éowyn''': Then you must be at least sixty. Seventy? But you cannot be eighty!
:'''Aragorn''': Eighty-seven.
:'''Éowyn''': You are one of the Dúnedain. A descendant of Númenor, blessed with long life. It was said that your race had passed into legend.

:'''Elrond''': ''[in Elvish]'' Arwen, it is time. The ships are leaving for Valinor. Go now before it is too late.
:'''Arwen''': I have made my choice.
:'''Elrond''': He is not coming back. Why do you linger here when there is no hope?
:'''Arwen''': There is still hope.
:'''Elrond''': If Aragorn survives this war, you will still be parted. If Sauron is defeated, and Aragorn made king and all that you hope for comes true, you will still have to taste the bitterness of mortality. Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time, Aragorn will die. And there will be no comfort for you. No comfort to ease the pain of his passing. He will come to death, an image of the splendour of the kings of men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world. But you, my daughter, you will linger on in darkness and in doubt, as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Here you will dwell, bound to your grief, under the fading trees, until all the world is changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent. Arwen, there is nothing for you here...only death. ''[in Elvish]'' Do I not also have your love?
:'''Arwen''': ''[in Elvish, crying]'' You have my love, father.

:'''Faramir''': What news?
:'''Madril''': Our scouts report Saruman has attacked Rohan. Théoden's people have fled to Helm's Deep. But we must look to our own borders. Faramir, Orcs are on the move. Sauron is marshaling an army. Easterlings and Southrons are passing through the Black Gate.
:'''Faramir''': How many?
:'''Madril''': Some thousands. More come every day.
:'''Faramir''': Who's covering the river to the North?
:'''Madril''': We've pulled 500 men at Osgiliath. If the city is attacked, we won't hold it.
:'''Faramir''': Saruman attacks from Isengard, Sauron from Mordor. The fight will come to Men on both fronts. Gondor is weak. Sauron will strike us soon. And he will strike hard. He knows now we do not have the strength to repel him.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Faramir''': My men tell me that you are Orc spies.
:'''Sam''': Spies?! Now wait just a minute!
:'''Faramir''': Well, if you're not spies, then who are you? Speak!
:'''Frodo''': We are Hobbits of the Shire. Frodo Baggins is my name, and this is Samwise Gamgee.
:'''Faramir''': Your bodyguard?
:'''Sam''': His gardener.
:'''Faramir''': And where is your skulking friend? That gangrel creature. He had an ill-favoured look.
:'''Frodo''': ''[reluctant]'' There was no other. We set out from Rivendell with seven companions. One we lost in Moria. Two were my kin. A Dwarf there was also, and an Elf, and two Men: Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and Boromir of Gondor.
:'''Faramir''': ''[solemn]'' You are a friend of Boromir?
:'''Frodo''': Yes, for my part.
:'''Faramir''': It would grieve you, then, to learn that he is dead.
:'''Frodo''': ''[shocked]'' Dead?! How? When?
:'''Faramir''': As one of his companions, I had hoped you would tell me.
:'''Frodo ''': If something has happened to Boromir, we would have you tell us!
:'''Faramir''': His horn washed up on the river bank, not six days past. It was cloven in two. But more than this I know it in my heart. He was my brother.

:''[Flashback, the Gondorian army under Boromir have just reclaimed the ruined city of Osgiliath from Sauron's army]''
:'''Boromir''': ''[raising the banner of Gondor]'' This city was once the crown jewel of our kingdom! A place of life, and beauty, and music! And so it shall be once more! Let the armies of Mordor know this: Never again will the land of my people fall into enemy hands! The city of Osgiliath has been reclaimed! For GONDOR!
:'''Gondorian army''': '''''FOR GONDOR!!!!''''' ''[the cry is repeated twice]''
:'''Faramir''': ''[races to hug Boromir]'' Good speech. Nice and short.
:'''Boromir''': That means more time for drinking! ''[he and Faramir laugh]'' Bring out the ale! These men are thirsty! ''[the soldiers cheer]'' Remember today, little brother. Today, life is good. ''[the brothers drink and then he notices Faramir look at another person]'' What?
:'''Faramir''': He's here. ''[referring to their father, the Steward Denethor, who arrives to congratulate Boromir's success]''
:'''Boromir''': ''[resentful]'' One more moment of peace, can he not give us that.
:'''Denethor''': ''[happily]'' Where is he? Where is Gondor's finest? Where is my first born?
:'''Boromir''': ''[reluctantly]'' Father!
:'''Denethor''': ''[hugs Boromir]'' They say you vanquished the enemy almost singlehandedly.
:'''Boromir''': They exaggerate! The victory belongs to Faramir also!
:'''Denethor''': ''[looks at Faramir with hate]'' If it weren't for Faramir, the city would still be standing. ''[to Faramir]'' Were you not entrusted to protect it?
:'''Faramir''': I would have done it, but our numbers are too few.
:'''Denethor''': Oh, too few? You let the Enemy walk in and take it on a whim. Always you cast a poor reflection of me.
:'''Faramir''': That was not my intent. ''[leaves]''
:'''Boromir''': ''[to Denethor with resentment]'' You give him no credit, yet he tries to do your will. He loves you, father!
:'''Denethor''': Do not trouble me with Faramir. I know of his uses, and they are few. We have more urgent things to speak of. Elrond of Rivendell has called for a meeting. He will not say why but I have guessed its purpose. It is rumored: the weapon of the Enemy has been found.
:'''Boromir''': ''[shocked]'' The One Ring? Isildur's Bane?
:'''Denethor''': Now it has fallen into the hands of the Elves. Everyone will try to claim it - Men, Dwarves, Wizards. We cannot let that happen! This thing must come to Gondor.
:'''Boromir''': ''[confused and frightened]'' Gondor.
:'''Denethor''': It's dangerous, I know! Ever the Ring will seek to corrupt the hearts of lesser Men but you! You are strong! And our need is great. It is our blood which is being spilled, our people who are dying. Sauron is biding his time. He's massing fresh armies. He will return. And when he does, we will be powerless to stop him. You must go! Bring me back this mighty gift!
:'''Boromir''': ''[withdraws]'' No, my place is here with my people! Not in Rivendell!
:'''Denethor''': Would you deny your own father?!
:'''Faramir''': ''[hearing the whole conversation]'' If there is need to go to Rivendell, send me in his stead.
:'''Denethor''': ''[to Faramir]'' You? Oh, I see. A chance for Faramir, captain of Gondor, to show his quality. I think not. I trust this mission only to your brother. The one who will not fail me.

:'''Saruman''': Gandalf the White. Gandalf the Fool! Does he seek to humble me with his newfound piety?
:'''Gríma Wormtongue''': There were three who followed the wizard. An Elf, a Dwarf, and a Man.
:'''Saruman''': ''[sniffs]'' You stink of horse. ''[Gríma walks away]'' The Man, was he from Gondor?
:'''Gríma Wormtongue''': ''[Saruman regains his attention]'' No, from the North. One of the Dúnedain Rangers, I thought he was. His cloth was poor. And yet, he bore a strange ring. Two serpents with emerald eyes, one devouring, the other one crowned with golden flowers.
:'''Saruman''': The Ring of Barahir. So Gandalf Greyhame thinks he's found Isildur's heir? The lost king of Gondor? He is a fool. The line was broken years ago. It matters not. The World of Men shall fall. It will begin at Edoras.

:''[Camera slowly zooms in at the drainhole at Helm's Deep]''
:'''Gríma ''': Helm's Deep has one weakness. Its outer wall is solid rock, but for a small culvert on its base, which is little more than a drain. ''[scene changes to Isengard, where Saruman is pouring gunpowder into a metal cauldron]'' How? How can fire undo stone? What kind of device will bring down the wall?
:'''Saruman''': ''[holds Gríma's hand back, which grips a lit candle]'' If the wall is breached, Helm's Deep will fall.
:'''Gríma''': Even if it is breached, it would take a number beyond reckoning, ''thousands'' to storm the keep.
:'''Saruman''': ''Tens'' of thousands.
:'''Gríma''': But, my lord, there is no such force.
:''[Saruman walks Gríma outside as they are talking. At this point, Saruman reveals to Gríma the massive army of Uruk-Hai]''
:'''Saruman''': A new power is rising! Its victory is at hand! ''[the Uruks cheer]'' This night, the land will be stained with the blood of Rohan! March to Helm's Deep! Leave none alive! '''''TO WAR!''''' There will be no dawn...''for Men.''

:'''Théoden''': They will break upon this fortress like water on rock. Saruman's hordes will pillage and burn, we've seen it before. Crops can be resown. Homes rebuilt. Within these walls we will outlast them.
:'''Aragorn''': They do not come to destroy Rohan’s crops and villages, they've come to destroy its people. Down to the last child.
:'''Théoden''': ''[angrily approaches Aragorn]'' What would you have me do? Look at my men. Their courage hangs by a thread. If this is to be our end, then I would have them make such an end as to be worthy of remembrance.
:'''Aragorn''': Send out riders, my lord, you must call for aid.
:'''Théoden''': And who will come? Elves? Dwarves? We are not so lucky in our friends as you. The old alliances are dead.
:'''Aragorn''': Gondor will answer.
:'''Théoden''': ''[angrily]'' ''Gondor''?! Where was ''Gondor'' when the Westfold fell?! Where was ''Gondor'' when our enemies closed in around us?! Where was Gon-? ''[suddenly regains hold of himself]'' No, my lord Aragorn. We are alone.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Aragorn''': Farmers, ferriers, stable boys. These are no soldiers.
:'''Gimli''': Most have seen too many winters.
:'''Legolas''': Or too few. Look at them, they're frightened. You can see it in their eyes. ''[the soldiers suddenly stop arming themselves after hearing Legolas. Legolas then speaks in Elvish]'' And they should be three hundred... against ten thousand?
:'''Aragorn''': ''[in Elvish]'' They have more hope of defending themselves here than at Edoras.
:'''Legolas''': ''[in Elvish]'' Aragorn, they cannot win this fight. They're all going to die!
:'''Aragorn''': ''[in common tongue]'' Then I shall die as one of them!

[[File:Casco de Rohirrim.jpg|thumb|Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?]]
:'''Gamling''': Every villager able to wield a sword has been sent to the armory. ''[Théoden does not respond]'' My lord?
:'''Théoden''': Who am I, Gamling?
:'''Gamling''': You are our king, sire.
:'''Théoden''': And do you trust your king?
:'''Gamling''': Your men, my lord, will follow you to whatever end.
:'''Théoden''': To whatever end. Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountains. Like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West, behind the hills, into Shadow. How did it come to this?

:''[Treebeard and the Ents gather for an Entmoot which has lasted for many long hours]''
:'''Merry''': ''[walking around, impatiently]'' It's been going for hours!
:'''Pippin''': They must've decided on something by now.
:'''Treebeard''': Decided? No! We only just finished saying... Good Morning.
:'''Merry''': ''[disappointed]'' But it's nighttime already! You can't take forever!
:'''Treebeard''': Don't be hasty.
:'''Merry''': We're running out of time!
:''[Treebeard ignores Merry and the Entmoot continues]''
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Gimli''': ''[unable to see over the wall, to Legolas]'' Ah, you could've picked a better spot! ''[to Aragorn]'' Well, lad, whatever luck you live by, let's hope it lasts the night.
:''[Thunder roared and lightning flashed. From the wall, the outnumbered defenders can see the horde of Uruk-hai, approaching]''
:'''Legolas''': Your friends are with you, Aragorn.
:'''Gimli''': Let's hope ''they'' last the night.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Gimli''': ''[struggling to see over the wall]'' What's happening out there?
:'''Legolas''': Shall I describe it to you? Or would you like me to find you a box?
:''[Gimli is silent for a moment, then laughs]''
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Gimli''': ''[kills two Uruk-Hai warriors]'' Legolas! Two already!
:'''Legolas''': I'm on 17!
:'''Gimli''': Huh? I'll have no pointy-ear outscoring me! ''[kills another one]''
:'''Legolas''': ''[shoots two more]'' 19!
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Treebeard''': We have just agreed... ''[falls asleep]''
:'''Merry''': Yes?
:'''Treebeard''': ''[wakes up]'' I have told your names to the Entmoot and we have agreed...you are not Orcs. ''[Treebeard and the Ents behind him smile as they awkwardly nod]''
:'''Pippin''': Well, that's good news.
:'''Merry''': What about Saruman? Have you come to a decision about him?
:'''Treebeard''': Now, don't be hasty, Master Meriadoc.
:'''Merry''': Hasty? Our friends are out there! They need our help! They cannot fight this war on their own!
:'''Treebeard''': War, yes. It affects us all, tree, root and twig. But you must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Gimli''': Oh, come on! We can take 'em!
:'''Aragorn''': It's a long way.
:'''Gimli''': ''[reluctantly]'' Toss me.
:'''Aragorn''': What?
:'''Gimli''': I cannot jump the distance, you'll have to toss me! ''[Aragorn nods]'' Don't tell the Elf.
:'''Aragorn''': Not a word. ''[tosses Gimli into the Uruks and he follows suit. The two warriors fight the Uruks on the causeway while Theoden and his soldiers barricade the breached gate]''
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Treebeard''': The Ents cannot hold back this storm. We must weather such things as we have always always done.
:'''Merry''': How can that be your decision?!
:'''Treebeard''': This is not our war.
:'''Merry''': But you're part of this world! Aren't you? You must help! Please! You must do something.
:'''Treebeard''': You are young and brave, Master Merry. But your part in this tale is over. Go back to your home.
:'''Pippin''': Maybe Treebeard's right. We don't belong here, Merry. It's too big for us. What can we do in the end? We've got the Shire. Maybe we should go home.
:'''Merry''': The fires of Isengard will spread. And the woods of Tuckborough and Buckland will burn. And all that was once green and good in this world will be gone. There won't ''be'' a Shire, Pippin.
<hr width=50%/>
:''[Having gone south at Pippin's request, Treebeard sees the devastation of Fangorn]''
:'''Treebeard''': ''[horrified]'' Many of these trees were my friends. Creatures I had known from nut and acorn.
:'''Pippin''': I'm sorry, Treebeard.
:'''Treebeard''': They had voices of their own... ''[angrily as he looks at Isengard]'' Saruman...''A wizard should know better! ''[lets out a howl of rage that echoes across the forest]'' There is ''no'' curse in Elvish, Entish or the tongues of Men for this ''treachery!''
:'''Pippin''': ''[sees a horde of Huorns moving out]'' Look, the trees! They're moving!
:'''Merry''': Where are they going?
:'''Treebeard''': They have business with the Orcs. ''My'' business is with Isengard tonight, with rock and stone!
:''[More Ents emerge from the forest]''
:'''Merry''': Yes...!
:'''Treebeard''': Come, my friends. The Ents are going to war. It is likely that we go to our doom...the Last March of the Ents!
:''[Treebeard and hundreds of Ents march towards Isengard]''
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Théoden''': The fortress is taken. It is over.
:'''Aragorn''': You said this fortress would never fall while your men defend it! They ''still'' defend it! They have ''died'' defending it! [''to Gamling''] Is there no other way for the women and children to get out of the caves? Is there no other way?!
:'''Gamling''': There is one passage, it leads into the mountains. But they will not get far, the Uruk-Hai are too many!
:'''Aragorn''': Send word for the women and children to make for the mountain pass and barricade the entrance!
:'''Théoden''': So much death... what can Men do against such reckless hate?
:'''Aragorn''': Ride out with me. Ride out and meet them.
:'''Théoden''': For death and glory?
:'''Aragorn''': For Rohan. For your people.
:'''Gimli''': The sun is rising...
:''[Sunlight enters through a window, illuminating the room]''
:'''Gandalf the White''': ''[in memory]'' "Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East".
:'''Théoden''': Yes...yes! The Horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the Deep...''one last time!''
:'''Gimli''': Yes!
:'''Théoden''': ''[to Aragorn]'' Let this be the hour when we draw swords together! ''[to his men]'' Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red dawn! ''[Gimli sounds the horn as the Uruks break down the doors]'' '''''FORTH EORLINGAS! CHARGE!'''''
<hr width=50%/>
:''[After the Battle of Helm's Deep, Extended Edition only]''
:'''Legolas''': Final count: forty-two.
:'''Gimli''': [sitting on a dead Uruk with an ax embedded in its head, smoking a pipe] Forty-two? Ooh! That's not bad for a pointy-eared Elvish princeling. I myself am sitting pretty on forty-''three''.
:'''Legolas''': ''[suddenly shoots an arrow into the dead Uruk]'' Forty-three.
:'''Gimli''': He was already dead.
:'''Legolas''': He was twitching.
:'''Gimli''': He was twitching because he's got my ax embedded in his nervous system! ''[jiggles the axe, the Uruk spasms lifelessly]''
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Merry''': ''[referring to Saruman who is stranded in Orthanc after watching the Ents flood all of Isengard]'' He doesn't look too happy, does he?
:'''Pippin''': Not too happy all, Merry.
:'''Merry''': You don't suppose the view would be quite nice from up there?
:'''Pippin''': Oh yes! It's a quality establishment, I hear the staff are very good.
:''[While Pippin looks at Orthanc, Merry tries to compare his height with Pippin, surprised to see that he is back to his normal height]''
:'''Pippin''': ''[turns to Merry]'' What are you doing?
:'''Merry''': ''[smiling]'' Nothing! The world's back to normal, that's all.
:'''Pippin''': ''[frowns]'' No, it isn't. I'm starving.
:'''Merry''': Good luck finding something decent to eat around here. You'd probably find nothing but dead rats and moldy bread.
:''[As Merry searches for some food, Pippin finds an apple and other food lying around. He and Merry follow the trail to the nearby storage which contains many food, much to their delight. They also find two barrels]''
:'''Pippin''': ''[surprised]'' Is that?
:'''Merry''': ''[happily opens the barrel which is full of weed]'' Longbottom leaf! Finest weed in the Southfarthing!
:'''Pippin''': It's perfect! One barrel each! ''[stops and realizes something]'' Wait! Don't you think we should share this with Treebeard?
:'''Merry''': Share it? ''[shakes his head as he realizes one thing]'' No, I don't think he'd understand. Dead plant and all; could be a distant relative.
:'''Pippin''': ''[smiles]'' Oh, I get it. ''Don't be hasty.''
:'''Merry''': ''[pulls out his smoking pipe]'' Exactly!
:''[The hobbits laugh and they start smoking. Outside the room, Treebeard smells the smoke and wonders what the hobbits are doing]''
<hr width=50%/>
:''[Frodo attacks Sam with his sword]''
:'''Sam''': It's me. It's your Sam. Don't you know your Sam?
:'''Frodo''': ''[snaps out of the spell, horrified, and drops his sword]'' I can't do this, Sam.
:'''Sam''': I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. ''[watching the Nazgûl flying away]'' It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo; the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end...because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was, when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
:'''Frodo''': What are we holding on to, Sam?
:'''Sam''': That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Sam''': I wonder if we'll ever be put into songs or tales.
:'''Frodo''': What?
:'''Sam''': I wonder if people will ever say, "Let's hear about Frodo and the Ring," and they'll say, "Yes, that's one of my favorite stories." "Frodo was really courageous, wasn't he, Dad?" "Yes, my boy. The most famousest of Hobbits. And that's saying a lot."
:'''Frodo''': You left out one of the chief characters: Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam. ''[stops walking and turns around to face Sam]'' Frodo wouldn't have got far without Sam.
:'''Sam''': Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldn't make fun. I was being serious.
:'''Frodo''': ''[smiling]'' So was I. ''[walks ahead]''
:'''Sam''': ''[to himself]'' 'Samwise the Brave'.

:'''Sméagol''' Master...Master looks after us. Master wouldn't hurt us.
:'''Gollum''': Master broke his promise!
:'''Sméagol''': Don't ask Sméagol. Poor, poor Sméagol...
:'''Gollum''': Master betrayed us! Wicked, tricksy, false. We ought to wring his filthy little neck. Kill him! Kill him! Kill them both! And then we takes the precious...and ''we'' be the master!
:'''Sméagol''': But the fat Hobbit, he knows. Eyes always watching.
:'''Gollum''': Then we stabs them out! Put out his eyeses! Make ''him'' crawl!
:'''Sméagol''': Yes! Yes! Yes!
:'''Gollum''': Kill them bothǃ
:'''Sméagol''': Yes! No, no! It's too risky, ''it's too risky!''
:'''Frodo''': ''[distant]'' Sméagol? Sméagol?
:'''Gollum''': ''[sly]'' We could let ''her'' do it.
:'''Sméagol''': Yes...''she'' could do it!
:'''Gollum''': Yes, precious, she could. And then we takes it once they're dead.
:'''Sméagol''': Once they're dead...
:'''Gollum''': Shhhh...
:'''Sméagol''': ''[to Frodo and Sam]'' Come on, Hobbits. Long ways to go yet. Sméagol will show you the way.
:'''Gollum''': ''[sinisterly]'' Follow me.

==About ''The Two Towers''==
:'''Andy Serkis''': Hi, everybody. My name's Andy Serkis, and I'm delighted to receive this award on behalf of everybody who brought Gollum to life. I can't actually be with you this evening, because we're down in New Zealand, completing more shots on Gollum for ''Return of the King''. I'm actually in the motion capture studio where we do lots of Gollum. Uh, I would like to say a big thank you to all the MTV fans, to the ''Lord of the Rings'' fans, and to everybody who worked on Gollum. It is a complete marriage of skills-
:'''Gollum''': You're a liar and a thief! ''[he takes the MTV award]'' It's mine! I won it! It was me! We only won because of me!
:'''Sméagol''': And me! MTV's my friend! My friend!
:'''Gollum''': You don't have any friends. Nobody likes you!
:'''Sméagol''': [[w:Magical creatures in Harry Potter|Dobby]] likes me!
:'''Gollum''': Dobby?! Dobby's a fucking fag!
:'''Andy Serkis''': That's enough, Gollum.
:'''Gollum''': Piss off, Serkis, you stupid, fat, wart face fucking turd!
:'''Andy Serkis''': I'm--I'm not fat.
:'''Gollum''': We're not gonna thank anyone. No, no! Not you, not MTV, and not those pixel-pushing pin-dicks at Weta Digital! And Peter Jackson, my precious, who do you think you are, you fucking hack?! Shame on you! Shame on you! Go fuck yourself!
:'''Sméagol''': Not listening. I'm not listening!
:'''Gollum''': Frankly, nothing can compensate for the long hours and low pay and miserable experience we've had making this fucking movie. And if you think this shitty little tub of gold popcorn is gonna remotely make up for everything we've suffered, you're sadly fucking mistaken! ''You're all bastards! MTV sucks! We hate you all!''
:'''Sméagol''': ''[smiles]'' Good night!

{{center|'''A New Power Is Rising.''' ([[#taglines|taglines]])}}
== Aragorn ==
* Rohan, realm of the horse lords. There is something evil at work in these lands. Something evil gives speed to these creatures and sets its will against us.
* It is an army bred for a single purpose: to destroy the World of Men.
* Show them ''no'' mercy... for ''you'' shall receive none!
== Gandalf the White ==
* I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide.
* The coming of Merry and Pippin will be like the falling of small stones that starts an avalanche in the mountains.
* Be silent! Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth! I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm.
* I will draw you, Saruman, as poison is drawn from a wound!
* Three hundred lives of men I've walked this earth and now I have no time. With luck, my search will not be in vain. Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East.
* Sauron's wrath will be terrible, his retribution swift. The battle for Helm's Deep is over. The battle for Middle Earth is about to begin.
== Gollum/Sméagol ==
* The thieves! The thieves! The filthy little thieves!
* We swears to serve the master of the precious. We'll swear on...on the precious!
* We be nice to them, if they be nice to us.
== Sam Gamgee ==
* It's me. It's your Sam. Don't you know your Sam?
* It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand, I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something...That there's some good in the world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.
== Saruman ==
* The world is changing. Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard...and Mordor? To stand against the might of Sauron ''and'' Saruman and the union of the two towers? Together, my Lord Sauron, we shall rule this Middle-Earth. The old world will burn in the fires of industry. The forests will fall. A new order will rise. We will drive the machine of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fist of the Orc. We have only to remove those who oppose us.
* A new power is rising! Its victory is at hand! This night, the land will be stained with the blood of Rohan! March to Helm's Deep! Leave none alive! ''To war!'' There will be no dawn...''for Men.''
== Théoden ==
* Your leech-craft would have had me crawling on all fours like a ''beast!''
* So it begins.
* So much death... what can Men do against such reckless hate?
* Let this be the hour when we draw swords together! Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red dawn!
== Others ==
* '''Elrond''': He will come to death, an image of the splendour of the kings of men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world. But you, my daughter, you will linger on in darkness and in doubt, as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Here you will dwell, bound to your grief, under the fading trees, until all the world is changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent.
* '''Faramir''': A chance for Faramir, captain of Gondor, to show his quality.
* '''Frodo''': This is Sting. You've seen it before, haven't you... ''Gollum''. Release him, or I'll cut your throat!
* '''Gimli''': Three days and nights pursuit. No food, no rest! Nor a sign of a quarry of what a bare rock can tell!
* '''Gimli''': I'm wasted on cross-country! We dwarves are natural sprinters! Very dangerous over short distances!
* '''Merry''': The fires of Isengard will spread. And the woods of Tuckborough and Buckland will burn. And all that was once green and good in this world will be gone. There won't ''be'' a Shire, Pippin.
* '''Treebeard''': It takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.
* '''Treebeard''': Many of these trees were my friends. Creatures I had known from nut and acorn.
* '''Uglúk''': I don't take orders from orc maggots.

:'''Aragorn''': Legolas! What do your Elf eyes see?
:'''Legolas''': The Uruks turned northeast! ''They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard!''
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Mauhúr''': I'm starving! We ain't had nothing but maggoty bread for three stinking days!
:'''Snaga''': Yeah! Why can't we have some meat? What about them? They're fresh!
:'''Uglúk''': They are ''not'' for eating!
:'''Grishnákh''': What about their legs? They don't need those. Ooh, they look tasty...!
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Éomer''': What business does an Elf, a Man, and a Dwarf have in the Riddermark? Speak quickly!
:'''Gimli''': Give me your name, Horse-master, and I shall give you mine.
:'''Éomer''': I would cut off your head, Dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground.
:'''Legolas''': You would die before your sword fell!
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Pippin''': And, whose side are you on?
:'''Treebeard''': Side? I am on nobody's side, because nobody is on my side, little Orc. Nobody cares for the woods anymore.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Aragorn''': You fell.
:'''Gandalf''': Through fire and water. From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak, I fought with the Balrog of Morgoth. Until at last, I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin upon the mountainside. Darkness took me. And I strayed out of thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead and everyday was as long as a life-age of the earth. But it was not the end. I felt life in me again. I've been sent back until my task is done.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Éowyn''': Leave me alone, snake!
:'''Gríma''': Oh, but you ''are'' alone. Who knows what you've spoken to the darkness? In bitter watches of the night, when all your life seems to shrink, the walls of your bower closing in about you, like a hutch to trammel some wild thing in! So fair, so cold, like a morning of pale spring still clinging to winter's chill...
:'''Éowyn''': Your words are poison.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Théoden''': Dark have been my dreams of late.
:'''Gandalf''': Your fingers would remember their old strength better...if they grasped your sword.

:'''Gollum''': What's it doing?! Stupid, ''fat'' Hobbit! It ''ruins'' it!
:'''Sam''': What's to ruin? There's hardly any meat on them. What we need is a few good taters.
:'''Gollum''': What's "taters", precious? What's "taters", eh?
:'''Sam''': Po-ta-toes! Boil em, mash em, stick 'em in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish. Even ''you'' couldn't say no to that.
:'''Gollum''': Oh yes, we could! Spoiling nice fish! Give it to us ''raw'', and ''wriggling''! You keeps nasty chips!
:'''Sam''': You're hopeless.

:'''Gimli''': It's true you don't see many Dwarf women. In fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they're often mistaken for Dwarf men.
:'''Aragorn''': ''[aside to Éowyn]'' It's the beards.
:'''Gimli''': This in turn has given raise to the belief that there ''are'' no women. And that Dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground! Which is of course ridiculous.

:'''Frodo''': We are Hobbits of the Shire. Frodo Baggins is my name, and this is Samwise Gamgee.
:'''Faramir''': Your bodyguard?
:'''Sam''': His gardener.

:'''Gollum''': ''Filthy'' little Hobbitses, they ''stole it from us!''
:'''Sméagol''': No... No...
:'''Faramir''': What did they steal?

:'''Saruman''': If the wall is breached, Helm's Deep will fall.

:'''Théoden''': Look at my men. Their courage hangs by a thread. If this is to be our end, then I would have them make such an end as to be worthy of remembrance.
:'''Aragorn''': Send out riders, my lord. You must call for aid.
:'''Théoden''': And who will come? Elves? Dwarves? We are not so lucky in our friends as you. The old alliances are dead.
:'''Aragorn''': Gondor will answer.
:'''Théoden''': ''Gondor''?! Where was ''Gondor'' when the Westfold fell?! Where was ''Gondor'' when our enemies closed in around us?! Where was Gon—? No, my lord Aragorn. We are alone.

:'''Aragorn''': Farmers, ferriers, stable boys. These are no soldiers.
:'''Gimli''': Most have seen too many winters.
:'''Legolas''': Or too few. Look at them, they're frightened. You can see it in their eyes. ''[in Elvish]'' And they should b. Three hundred... against ten thousand?
:'''Aragorn''': ''[in Elvish]'' They have more hope of defending themselves here than at Edoras.
:'''Legolas''': ''[in Elvish]'' Aragorn, they cannot win this fight. They're all going to die!

:'''Gamling''': You are our king, sire.
:'''Théoden''': And do you trust your king?
:'''Gamling''': Your men, my lord, will follow you to whatever end.
:'''Théoden''': To whatever end. Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountains. Like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West, behind the hills, into Shadow. How did it come to this?

:'''Gimli''': I cannot jump the distance, you'll have to toss me!... Don't tell the Elf.
:'''Aragorn''': Not a word.

:'''Sam''': I wonder if we'll ever be put into songs or tales.
:'''Frodo''': What?
:'''Sam''': I wonder if people will ever say, "Let's hear about Frodo and the Ring," and they'll say, "Yes, that's one of my favorite stories." "Frodo was really courageous, wasn't he, Dad?" "Yes, my boy. The most famousest of Hobbits. And that's saying a lot."
:'''Frodo''': You left out one of the chief characters: Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam. Frodo wouldn't have got far without Sam.

==About ''The Two Towers''==
:'''Andy Serkis''': Hi, everybody. My name's Andy Serkis, and I'm delighted to receive this award on behalf of everybody who brought Gollum to life. I can't actually be with you this evening, because we're down in New Zealand, completing more shots on Gollum for ''Return of the King''. I'm actually in the motion capture studio where we do lots of Gollum. Uh, I would like to say a big thank you to all the MTV fans, to the ''Lord of the Rings'' fans, and to everybody who worked on Gollum. It is a complete marriage of skills-
:'''Gollum''': You're a liar and a thief! ''[he takes the MTV award]'' It's mine! I won it! It was me! We only won because of me!
:'''Sméagol''': And me! MTV's my friend! My friend!
:'''Gollum''': You don't have any friends. Nobody likes you!
:'''Sméagol''': [[w:Magical creatures in Harry Potter|Dobby]] likes me!
:'''Gollum''': Dobby?! Dobby's a fucking fag!
:'''Andy Serkis''': That's enough, Gollum.
:'''Gollum''': Piss off, Serkis, you stupid, fat, wart face fucking turd!
:'''Andy Serkis''': I'm--I'm not fat.
:'''Gollum''': We're not gonna thank anyone. No, no! Not you, not MTV, and not those pixel-pushing pin-dicks at Weta Digital! And Peter Jackson, my precious, who do you think you are, you fucking hack?! Shame on you! Shame on you! Go fuck yourself!
:'''Sméagol''': Not listening. I'm not listening!
:'''Gollum''': Frankly, nothing can compensate for the long hours and low pay and miserable experience we've had making this fucking movie. And if you think this shitty little tub of gold popcorn is gonna remotely make up for everything we've suffered, you're sadly fucking mistaken! ''You're all bastards! MTV sucks! We hate you all!''
:'''Sméagol''': ''[smiles]'' Good night!

'''[[w:Fabio Cannavaro|Fabio Cannavaro]]''', [[w:Italian orders of merit|Cavaliere OMRI]] (born [[September 13]], [[1973]]) is an Italian FIFA World Cup-winning footballer and captain of Italy who currently plays for [[w:Juventus Turin|Napoli (Naples)]].
== About Cannavaro ==
* If [[w:Rio Ferdinand|Rio Ferdinand]] is worth £120,000 a week, Cannavaro is worth a hundred million a day.
** [[w:Eamon Dunphy|Eamon Dunphy]], on Fabio Cannavaro's performance during [[w:2006 FIFA World Cup|Germany 2006]] [http://www.elevenaside.com/quoteoftheday/]
* Fabio being the first player presented has a special symbolic meaning, being that he is true number one with great leadership skills. We are convinced he will be a role model to help build a winning team. Upon arriving in Madrid, Cannavaro's first words demonstrated his pride, happiness, and satisfaction for joining such an admired Club.
** President [[w:Ramón Calderón|Ramón Calderón]] of [[w:Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid CF]], speaking at the unveiling of Fabio Cannavaro [http://www.realmadrid.com/articulo/rma32537.htm]
* Cannavaro is having a fantastic World Cup. He is without question the strongest defender at this tournament and the absolute number one in the world.
** [[w:Marcello Lippi|Marcello Lippi]] [http://www.mg.co.za/articledirect.aspx?articleid%3D276589]
* Fabio Cannavaro was the best player of this World Cup.
** [[Diego Maradona]], speaking of [[w:2006 FIFA World Cup|Germany 2006]] [http://www.i-sportsbook.com/soccer/index.html]
* I would have married Fabio anyway, no matter what was his job or where. It doesn't matter that he is a world known footballer. I love him because of his essence as a human being.
** [[w:Daniela Arenoso|Daniela Arenoso]], on her love and marriage to Fabio Cannavaro [http://www.cannaddicted.com/English/Fabio/Family.htm]
* Talking about Fabio's height is the same as talking about the fog in Milan.I have never felt that he is short when I play with him,because he can jump higher than anybody else. He is always good at heading. It doesn't make any sense talking about Cannavaro like that.
** [[w:Alessandro Nesta|Alessandro Nesta]], on Fabio Cannavaro's height [http://www.cannaddicted.com/English/Fabio/Quotes.htm]
* Cannavaro has that unmistakable presence as a leader and in my impression, is exactly like that tough and cool-headed defense he shows on the pitch.
** [[w:Iker Casillas|Iker Casillas]], when asked to describe Cannavaro after joining [[w:Real Madrid|Real Madrid]] [http://www.cannaddicted.com/English/Fabio/Quotes.htm]
* I can't choose just one! Real Madrid only has great players. Raul, [[w:David Beckham|David Beckham]], [[w:Ruud van Nistelrooy|Ruud van Nistelrooy]], Ronaldo... The one that impressed me the most after having actually played together is Cannavaro. He's sturdy and lithe and his attitude when he faces a match is exceptional too. I think he's the best center-back in the world.

'''''[[w:Highlander: The Series|Highlander: The Series]]''''' (1992–1998) was an English language fantasy/sci-fi television series featuring [[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]] ([[w:Adrian Paul|Adrian Paul]]), of the Scottish Clan MacLeod, as the Highlander of the title
== Season One ==
*Original narration, read by Adrian Paul:
''I am Duncan MacLeod, born four hundred years ago in the Highlands of Scotland. I am Immortal and I am not alone. For centuries we've waited for the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword and a fall of a head will release the power of the Quickening. In the end, there can be only one.''
*Second narration, for the second half of the First Season (also by Adrian Paul):
''I was born four hundred years ago in the Highlands of Scotland. I am immortal and I am not alone. Now is the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword will release the power of the Quickening. In the end, there can be only one.''
===Bad Day In Building A [1.07]===
:''(Duncan is telling a little girl a story in a compromised building.)''
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Once there was this place where the faerie-people lived. It was a beautiful city in those days, surrounded by white walls, and tall stone towers...
:'''Little girl, Belinda''': What were they like?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, they were like regular people, except they lived for a very long time, and they never grew old.
:'''Belinda''': Like Peter Pan!
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, sort of. Well, the fairies...were handsome, and wise, and very, very clever. The problem was, as time went on, there were more and more people, and soon the faerie people had to leave this home in the faerie city. They moved into the mountains, and into the old forests, and in the caves, and in the cliffs, but the other people always found these places, so the faerie people had to move on.
:'''Belinda''': That's sad. Where do they live now?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, Belinda, they're all around us, and you know what their job is? It's to protect children, and sometimes tell them stories.
:'''Belinda''': Have you ever met one?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, lots.
===The Sea Witch [1.09]===
:'''Duncan MacLeod''': You have not changed.
:'''Alexey Voshin''': No, did you expected me to?
:'''Duncan''': No, that's why I'm here.
----
:'''Melinda''': He's gonna be ok?
:'''Tessa''': I don't know.
----
:'''Tessa''': I'm going to think about both of you for a long time.
----
:'''Tessa''': Bad money put to good use.
----
:'''Tessa''': I'm going to think about both of you for a long time.
----
:'''Tessa''': I am going to miss you, Melinda, very very much. I'll always remember you.
:'''Melinda''': Promise?
:'''Tessa''': You see, I am going to save you right here. ''(in her heart)''
===See No Evil [1.11]===
:'''Randi McFarland''': ''(to Duncan)'' Surprise, surprise! Another weird murder attempt and you're right here in the middle of it.
----
:'''Randi''': Come on, MacLeod, you were here. Give me a quote.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Those who forget the past are condemned to relive it.
----
:''[She is crying]''
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': I just keep seeing him in front of me as I ... ''(ran him over with a car)''
:'''Duncan''': You did what you had to.
:'''Tessa''': I thought ridding the world of evil would feel better than this.
:'''Duncan''': I know... I know.
===Eyewitness [1.12]===
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': Whoa! Damn, check me out, I am one sharp dude!
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': Even if you do say so yourself.
:'''Richie''': Hey, Tess, I'm just callin em as I see em.
----
:'''Tessa''': I stay with you because I want to! I won't run. I'm not that "little woman", and I'll never be barefoot and pregnant! We all have things to face. This is mine. I have to see it through.
----
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Tessa, you're stronger than she was. If something happened to me, you'd be fine.
:'''Tessa''': You only think so because it suits you.
----
:'''Tessa''': Duncan, when the time comes, if you ever have to leave me, ''(Duncan groans)'' I won't be like Ann, I'll leave you first.
:'''Duncan''': You do that!
:'''Tessa''': Yeah?
:''[they kiss]''
:'''Duncan''': Yeah! And I'll follow you, wherever you go, for as long as you live.
:'''Tessa''': Mmmm... Then maybe, just maybe, I won't leave.
===Band of Brothers [1.13]===
:'''Grayson''': I shall hunt down your proteges, one by one, until you sicken of it and come out of sanctuary to fight me.
:'''Darius''': Will it please you that much to destroy me?
:'''Grayson''': Immensely.
----
:'''Darius''': Grayson! You believed in me once.
:'''Grayson''': I didn't change, you did.
----
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': So what makes this Grayson guy so different from the others?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': He's 1400 years older than I am. He's one of the few ancient Immortals left. He's been a warlord most of that time. You don't just go up to him with your sword and say "Tsst, tsst, tsst! En garde, fool!".
----
:'''Duncan''': The legend has it that Darius killed a holy man at the gates of Paris, the oldest living Immortal at the time. And suddenly he changed. He turned his back on war.

:'''Richie''': Did Darius ever change you?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, I guess he did. I was born of a warrior people. When war came I chose sides like most men. I fought. I killed.
----
:''[Flashback to Waterloo, 1815]''
:'''Darius''': You shouldn't be taking part in this tragedy.
:'''Duncan''': I was raised a warrior. I choose battles I believe to be just.
:'''Darius''': Oh, I'm sure. You're quite loyal to your convictions and compatriots... But I wonder what these ''(dead)'' men think about that, about convictions and compatriotism now?
----
:''[Duncan's thoughts as he prepares for battle]''
: Hope doesn't conquer a superior adversary. So why do I hope to beat Grayson? Why do I think that a good life will protect me from an evil one? What power can I draw from this thing, this hope?
----
:'''Victor Paulus''': You've saved my life again. Why are you... who are you?
:'''Duncan''': I'm a friend of Darius.
:'''Victor''': You didn't learn this ''(fighting)'' from Darius.
:'''Duncan''': I wasn't much of a student.
----
:'''Darius''': I wasn't always a priest, you know. When I was a young man the first thing you had to do when introduced to a woman was compliment her father's horse. ''(Richie looks doubtful)'' Well, that probably doesn't help you.
----
:'''Duncan''': It's a good job, huh?
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': Great job.
:'''Duncan''': Great. I like being kept.
:'''Tessa''': Kept?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, I mean, hang out on the barge, catch up on my reading, while you bring home the bacon.
:'''Tessa''': Barge, what barge?
:'''Duncan''': Oh I forgot to tell you about the barge. No self-respecting museum curator would live anywhere else.
:'''Tessa''': So I slave away all day while you sunbathe on a barge. Is that it?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, but just think of how ... rested I'll be. He he he...
===For Evil's Sake [1.14]===
:''[Flashback to about 1800]''
:'''Baron Deshields''': Absinthe?
:'''Kuyler''': From the Luchessi family. None better in the whole of France.
:'''Deshields''': No, thank you. Madness and death are not things to which I aspire.
:'''Kuyler''': Who wants to live forever?
----
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Do you have any, uh, any absinthe?
:'''storekeeper''': It is against the law to sell absinthe.
:'''Duncan''': ''(displays money)'' Well, uh, to connoissuers... ''(more money)'' true men of discretion... ''(more money)'' such things can be made unimportant.
:'''shopkeeper''': I wish I could help you.
:'''Duncan''': Me too... ''(more money)''
:'''shopkeeper''': Who sent you here?
:'''Duncan''': A friend whose tastes I share.
----
:'''Kuyler''': Incidentally, I owe you an apology. Anthony was very sloppy. I killed him for you.
:'''Duncan''': You're mad, Kuyler.
:'''Kuyler''': Maybe. Maybe I'm just trying to excel at what I do. Didn't you ever want to be the best at something?
:'''Duncan''': Murder means nothing to you?
:'''Kuyler''': On the contrary, it means everything.
----
:'''Kuyler''': Do you know how many Mortals I've killed over the years?
:'''Duncan''': I'm sure you do.
:'''Kuyler''': I've kept a book. 2760. Now I don't just think I'm bragging, but, I'm the greatest assassin in all of history. Of course, there have been men responsible for more deaths, but none of them killed so many, so close.
:'''Duncan''': I don't think there are going to be any more entries in your book.
===For Tomorrow We Die [1.15]===
:'''[[w:Darius (Highlander)|Darius]]''': Why are you here?
:'''[[w:Xavier St. Cloud|Xavier St. Cloud]]''': I've come to confess. Same as everyone else. Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.
:'''Darius''': I will not hear this.
:'''Xavier''': You are a priest, and I am a sinner. Isn't that how it goes? Or have you reinvented the position?
:'''Darius''': Why do this? It means nothing to you.
:'''Xavier''': Because it means everything to you.
----
:'''Dalou''': Parisians don't mind a little larceny now and then. If it's done with ingenuity, no one gets hurt.
----
:'''Inspector LeBrun''': If this man kills again because you're holding out on me, I will personally have your head.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Well I think your gonna have to wait in line.
----
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': Mac, you ever had it bad for an older woman?
:'''Duncan''': Well, the situation hasn't come up recently.
----
:'''Xavier''': I'm just trying to earn a few francs. After all, a man's gotta live.
:'''Duncan''': Not necessarily.
:''[They fight]''
===Saving Grace [1.17]===
:'''[[w:Darius (Highlander)|Darius]]''': War in the abstract is a great intellectual puzzle, but in reality it's all blood and tears.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Then why make it into a game?
:'''Darius''': To deny what I was is to deny what I am.
----
:'''Grace Chandel''': God, I get so tired of it sometimes. We go on and everything around us dies.
----
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': Do you still love her?
:'''Duncan''': No.
:'''Tessa''': That's all that needs to be said. She's your friend, and she's been hurt. You'll help her. I'd expect you to do no less.
----
:'''Grace''': The truth is, you and I were too different.
:'''Duncan''': Maybe if I'd stayed.
:'''Grace''': You would've been unhappy. So I let you go. My wandering knight, charging off to right all the wrongs of the world.
----
:''[At her husband's grave]''
:'''Grace''': You'd think I'd learn how to handle this, wouldn't you. The strange thing is, every time it happens I tell myself I won't go through it again. I swear to myself I won't fall in love with a mortal. As if love were something you had any control over. You and Mac have something good. I envy you.
:'''Tessa''': Grace, about you and Mac...
:'''Grace''': We had a moment, that was all. Though I wanted it to be more. Please don't hold it against me.
:'''Tessa''': It's funny, but I don't. It would take me several lifetimes to find out everything in Duncan's past. I know there have been others. But I never thought I would meet one of them. And here you are.
===The Lady and the Tiger [1.18]===
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': You don't look like someone who would worry much about forgiveness.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': Tess, you do know that they all carry ''big'' swords with them. Just a thought.
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': You've always had a taste for beautiful and spirited women, Duncan.
:'''Tessa''': And modest. Don't forget modest.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Time to go. It's been thrilling.
:'''Amanda''': It's been 65 years. A girl might think you're trying to avoid her.
:'''Duncan''': Now how could you think that? Goodbye, Amanda.
----
:''[She sent him to prison, now he's escaped and has her helpless]''
:'''Zachary Blaine''': Do you know what I missed most... was the feeling of a good, old fashioned Quickening. SShhhh!!
:'''Amanda''': Wait!
:'''Zachary''': No, after what you did to me, you can't come up with a reason good enough.
:'''Amanda''': I can give you ten million reasons, in American dollars.
:'''Zachary''': Funny, you'd think that would be enough. ''(prepares to kill her)''
:'''Amanda''': I can give you the head of Duncan MacLeod!
----
:'''Amanda''': I gave up my life of crime, Duncan.
:'''Duncan''': That's what you said in Constantinople, 250 years ago.
:'''Amanda''': I succumbed to an impulse.
:'''Duncan''': I was nearly flayed alive when they came looking for you.
:'''Amanda''': But you got away. You always do.
----
:'''Tessa''': After all she's done to you, why do you care whether she's happy or not?
:'''Duncan''': I don't know, Tessa. She made me laugh when there weren't too many things to laugh about. Maybe that doesn't seem important, but those are the things I remember of her.
:'''Tessa''': She makes me feel like I have to compete with her. Maybe if I'd been a lady pirate or something....
:'''Duncan''': whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Richie, give us a moment, would you?
:'''Richie''': I was just leaving. ''[He leaves]''
:'''Duncan''': Hey, listen to me young lady, she's no competition. Hmmm?
:''[They kiss]''
----
:'''Zachary''': Why try to save her, MacLeod? She's betrayed you before.
:'''Duncan''': At least I'm smart enough to stay out of jail.
:''[They fight]''
== Season Two ==
*Third narration, read by actor [[w:Jim Byrnes|Jim Byrnes]]:
''He is immortal, born in the Highlands of Scotland four hundred years ago. He is not alone. There are others like him, some good, some evil. For centuries he has battled the forces of Darkness, with Holy Ground his only refuge. He cannot die, unless you take his head and with it, his power. In the end there can be only one. He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander.''
===An Eye For an Eye [2.5]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': She ''(Tessa)'' was part of our lives, Richie. Never pretend she wasn't.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': I don't! I keep waking up every morning...
:'''Duncan''': ...expecting her to be there. Get used to it, it won't be the last time it happens to you.
:'''Richie''': When does this start getting easier?
:'''Duncan''': It doesn't.
----
:'''Richie''': I keep waiting to feel different. Like someone's going to tell me how to be, what to do.
:'''Duncan''': What were you expecting, a set of instructions?
----
:''[Flashback to Ireland, 1920]''
:'''Annie Devlin''': Why don't you stay? It will be a beautiful war.
:'''Duncan''': War is never beautiful, Annie. Leave with me. This will never end.
:'''Annie''': It will when we win. Or when there's no one left alive to fight.
----
:''[Referring to his fight with Annie]''
:'''Richie''': I could have killed her, Mac. I mean, that's what I'm supposed to do, right?
:'''Duncan''': Sometimes.
:'''Richie''': I couldn't do it. I thought I could, but I couldn't. Maybe I'm just not cut out for this.
:'''Duncan''': You're still who you are, Richie. You don't change when you become Immortal, you just live longer. Hopefully.
:'''Richie''': Oh, boy, I'd say I got a lot to learn.
:'''Duncan''': You still have time.
:''[Duncan presents Richie with a sword]''
:'''Duncan''': Take good care of it. Live with it. Make it part of you. Might be the only friend you have.
===The Zone [2.6]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': You know, there's a problem with thinking the strongest can take what they want.
:'''Caanan''': Yeah, what's that?
:'''Duncan''': There's always somebody stronger.
===The Return of Amanda [2.7]===
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': You know, you won't ''let'' me change. You really expect me to steal, don't you?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': I expect sharks to bite, too. Don't take it personally.
----
:'''Amanda''': I really do like you, Duncan. Let's just play house for 70 or 80 years.
----
:'''Duncan''': Who were those guys?
:'''Amanda''': I swear on my mother's grave...
:'''Duncan''': You don't have a mother.
----
:'''Amanda''': Why won't you believe me? I've never seen those guys before in my life.
:'''Duncan''': Funny, they seemed to know you.
----
:''[Amanda wants to know why Duncan is smiling]''
:'''Duncan''': Why can't I just smile? I'm happy, we're safe for now, I've just made love to the most devious, scheming, deceitful... beautiful woman in history.
:'''Amanda''': Do you really think I'm one of the most beautiful women in history?
----
:'''Amanda''': I told you, I'm not a thief any more.
:'''Duncan''': So you turned to counterfeiting instead?
:'''Amanda''': Well, I ran out of money, what else am I supposed to do?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, a job is out of the question.
:'''Amanda''': Would you get serious, MacLeod.
----
:'''Duncan''': Wait, wait, counterfeiting and honesty, they go well together, right?
:'''Amanda''': Don't be so picky, my heart was in the right place.
===Run for your Life [2.09]===
:'''Carl''': Maybe it's just time for old Carl to move on, man.
:'''Duncan''': And do what?
:'''Carl''': Hey, I'll get by. You just take care of yourself.
:'''Duncan''': You still don't get it, do you?! You are an immortal. You have something other people will never have: time, and the ability to make the difference. No, listen to me, man! Listen to me! You can do whatever you want, be whatever you want! You can live the dream. Most people grow old and die before they can do that.
---------
:'''Carter''': Hello, Carl. Nice to see you again.
:'''Carl''': ''[Stands up]'' What do you want?
:'''Carter''': I'm gonna kill you. Forever.
:'''Carl''': Wow, man. I don't even know you. ''[Carter walks closer to him]'' What was this all about? I didn't do nothing.
:'''Carter''': You live.
:'''Ken''': ''[Pointing a gun at Carter]'' Put it down, Carter.
:'''Carter''': Get outta here, kid.
:'''Ken''': Why?
:'''Carter''': Just get the hell outta here!
:'''Ken''': I can't. What's this all about?
:'''Carl''': ''(To Ken)'' He doesn't want any witnesses for the execution.
:'''Carter''': He's wanted for murder.
:'''Ken''': Who's murder? Huh? I checked him at Arizona.
:'''Carter''': You don't know what the hell these people are. ''[Duncan climbing the ladder]''
:'''Ken''': Shut them down.
:'''Carter''': He doesn't deserve to live.
''[Duncan continuing climbing the ladder]''
:'''Ken''': Please. Put it down.
:'''Carter''': You're over your head, Kenny. Trust me, you don't understand what's going on here.
:'''Ken''': I understand enough to know what attempted murder looks like. ''[Duncan climbs slowly to sneak]''
:'''Carter''': What? Are you gonna shoot me, rookie?
:'''Ken''': If I have to?
:'''Carter''': I don't think so. ''[Duncan shoves him and Ken shots him down to death from the dock to the water]''
===Under Color of Authority [2.12]===
:'''Mako''': I always thought that you were a man that respected the law.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': I like to see justice done.
----
:'''Duncan''': A man can't always live by the law.
:'''Mako''': A man cannot live any other way.
----
:'''Mako''': I have been a lawman for almost 600 years. Even before I was Immortal. I have seen cities burned, I have seen children slaughtered. Law is what separates us from the beast. When we leave it, we leave a hole with no bottom.
----
:'''Laura''': You don't exactly trust me, much, now do you?
:'''Duncan''': I don't know you.
:'''Laura''': So you don't believe me.
:'''Duncan''': No, I believe that you're frightened, and I believe that you're running from something. I'm just not sure what.
----
:'''Duncan''': When you're young and you care about someone, you think with your heart. You don't see clearly.
:'''Laura''': I don't know why you're so worried about Richie. I mean, you act like you're his father or something.
:'''Duncan''': I'm not his father, Laura, but he is like family to me.
----
:'''Mako''': I'm looking for a girl.
:'''Duncan''': Try working on your personality.
----
:'''Duncan''': Richie, where is this going from here? What happens if you are out on the road and a cop recognizes her? What are you going to do, kill him? How far is this going to go, Richie?
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': I don't know, Mac, I don't know! All I know is, I gotta help her, Mac. Mac, she needs me.
===Legacy [2.19]===
:[''John is mortal. Rebecca is not.'']
:'''John''': Promise me something. You will leave me before I get too old.
:'''Rebecca''': You are in a good mood today!
:'''John''': Well, I'm serious. Listen, Rebecca, you deserve a younger man.
:'''Rebecca''': I have a younger man. I have what I want.
:'''John''': There's two things...
:'''Rebecca''': John, you are the love of my life. You're the love of a dozen lifetimes. I don't care if you are 23, or 53, or 103. I am never going to leave you. Ever.
----
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': MacLeod, do you ever wonder what it is like to die?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Every time.
:'''Amanda''': That's not what I meant.
:'''Duncan''': I know, you meant really die. Be gone forever.
:'''Amanda''': So you do think about it.
:'''Duncan''': Not for myself. Not any more. Whatever happens, happens.
:'''Amanda''': I don't know. The longer I live the more I get attached to myself.
:'''Duncan''': Sooner or later everyone dies. Even us.
:'''Amanda''': I don't mind the later, it's the sooner part I don't like.
----
:[''Flashback to 1635'']
:'''Amanda''': Why take a man's head when you can have his gold?
:'''Rebecca''': Amanda!
:'''Amanda''': What? You taught me to be clever.
:'''Rebecca''': I also taught you to be honest.
:'''Amanda''': Ah yes, I forget that part.
----
:'''Amanda''': Hmmmm. Breakfast in bed. You better watch it, MacLeod. They say this is how love starts.
----
:'''Duncan''': Was the crystal really worth Rebecca's life?
:'''Luther''': It's worth any amount of lives.
:'''Duncan''': Whoever has the crystal becomes invincible. Is that it?
:'''Luther''': So you know.
:'''Duncan''': It's a myth, Luther. A story told by bored people around campfires.
----
:'''Amanda''': You stuck your nose in without being asked, the least you could do is say you're sorry.
:'''Duncan''': What, for saving your life?
:'''Amanda''': Oh don't change the subject!

===The Samurai [3.1]===

<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': I've gotta go to Japan.
:'''Charlie''': Japan?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, you know. Land of the Rising Sun. Hai!
:'''Charlie''': You just got back!
:'''Duncan''': That was Paris. It's a different continent.
:'''Charlie''': Very funny, MacLeod.
:'''Duncan''': I'll give you the air miles.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Charlie''': How long have you been gone?
:'''Duncan''': Six months.
:'''Charlie''': Yeah right, so for six months, everything is quiet. I don't even get a hangnail. And all of a sudden you show up and I'm fighting to save my teeth.
:'''Duncan''': Don't thank me all at once, Charlie.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Sometimes it's not the body you have to protect... it's the spirit.
----
:[''Flashback to Japan, 1778'']
:'''Duncan''': But there must be some other way! We can get a boat and leave Japan...
:'''Hideo Koto''': I could no more run than I could fly. Koto is a noble Samurai name... a name I have been honored to borrow. To dishonor it for all who follow me would be unthinkable.
===Line of Fire [3.2]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Let me know when you've found the formula.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': The formula?
:'''Duncan''': For getting in shape without training.
<hr width="50%"/>
''[Richie believes he has a son]''
:'''Duncan''': Immortals can't have children.
:'''Richie''': Exactly Mac, this happened before I became an immortal.
:'''Duncan''': That's not the way it works.
:'''Richie''': Maybe I'm the first.
:'''Duncan''': I wish it could happen. But it's not in the cards. We don't get to live happily ever after. Children aren't part of our lives...it can't happen.
:'''Richie''': It just did.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Father Matthew''': Ah, Paris... The city of my youth. I was there in '72. What a summer. ''[remembering]'' All those women, all that wine... Of course, that was before I entered the priesthood.
:'''Duncan''' and '''Richie''': Of course.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Richie''': I didn't know if I'd find you alive. What the hell happened?

:'''Duncan''': He lived too.

''[In Joe's bar]''
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': Hey MacLeod, what do you think? Is it me?
:'''Duncan''': The truth? I'd say it's a little out of character.
:'''Joe''': You know, I wasn't born in a museum. In fact, I'm kinda tired of hanging around old antiques like you. Look at me, I'm growing old.
<hr width="50%"/>
''[Richie enters the dojo covered with grunge and tomatoes]''

:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Joe, I want you to meet Amanda. Amanda... Joe Dawson.

:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': I'll bet you have. I hear you're one of those guys who likes to watch.

:'''Duncan''': You hate your job.
:'''Amanda''': That's not the point.
:'''Duncan''': In a good cause.

''[Joe's taking a revolver from a drawer]''
:'''Duncan''': You can't kill him with that, Joe.

<hr width="50%"/>
[''Joe's bar, Dawson is up on the stage, singing the blues. Duncan and Amanda stand in the shadows, watching and listening'']
:'''Amanda''': Did you know he could do that?
:'''Duncan''': No. [''with irony''] You know, It's funny. The man knows more about me than anyone else alive, yet I hardly know anything about him..
:'''Amanda''': God, to sing like that...he must have had a helluva life.
:'''Duncan''': Probably...
:'''Amanda''': You want to ask him about it?
:'''Duncan''': No... when he's ready, he'll tell me.
===Rite of Passage [3.5]===
:'''Michelle Webster''': Whoa, hold up, time out! That was the morgue. I was in the morgue!
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Keep your voice down.
:'''Michelle''': Why?
:'''Duncan''': Because we are sneaking out of here!
:'''Michelle''': No, I mean, why was I in there?
:'''Duncan''': Don't worry, you're not dead.
:'''Michelle''': Oh, gee, thanks. That explains it.
----
:'''Michelle''': You mean I'm never going to turn nineteen?
:'''Duncan''': But you might get to see a thousand.
----
:'''Michelle''': You do know I've always had a thing for you. Since the first time I laid eyes on you.
:'''Duncan''': You were eleven years old!
:'''Michelle''': I matured early.
----
:'''Michelle''': Oh, so is that what you guys do? Run around chopping each other's heads off?
:'''Duncan''': Until there's only one of us left alive.
:'''Michelle''': I don't think so.
:'''Duncan''': Michelle, I'm not your father and this isn't a fairy tale! Now you either learn the Game, or you die.
----
:'''Michelle''': You know, Duncan, you really have a gift for taking the fun out of eternal life.
:'''Duncan''': It'll get better.
:'''Michelle''': I sure hope so.
:'''Duncan''': No, I mean your... outlook.
:'''Michelle''': Oops. Almost slipped. You were gonna say "attitude".
:'''Michelle''': You know what, Duncan? That is "Dad speak". And you're pretty lousy at that too.
===Obsession [3.8]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': This doesn't make any sense, Richie, he's supposed to be getting married.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': Not unless it's a shotgun wedding. I'm telling you, Mac, she didn't want anything to do with him.
----
:'''Richie''': Mac, you don't understand, one minute the guy was there, and the next, boom, he's trying to take my head. And he wasn't kidding around. I mean, that girl came in, and he just freaked. He totally lost it. Now what the hell is this all about?
----
:'''Jill''': We were happy. Everything seemed so perfect. Then one day I came home and he said "Honey, come here, I have something to show you." And then he took a knife, and he .... ''[she can't say it]''
:'''Duncan''': Then he healed.
:'''Jill''': He said I had to know... and I wish he'd never told me.
:'''Duncan''': He loves you. He had to tell you.
:'''Jill''': Mr. MacLeod, I have a picture of how I want my life to be. Kids, grandkids... a family. It may sound stupid, but it's what I see.
:'''Richie''': So you called it off.
:'''Jill''': But he won't let me. And he won't leave me alone. He nearly beat a guy to death just for talking to me.

:'''[[w:Anne Lindsey|Anne Lindsey]]''': This is ridiculous. I'm calling the police.
:'''Duncan''': Anne, don't.
:'''Anne''': It is the only way, Duncan. You think talking is going to stop this guy? If you think that, spend a Saturday night in the emergency ward with me. These guys do not stop until someone's dead.
===Methos [3.16] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Joe? What's up?
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': You've got trouble.
:'''Duncan''': How come you never call with good news?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Come on, Joe. Methos doesn't exist.He's a legend... like Adam and Eve. The oldest Immortal.
:'''Joe''': Oh, he exists all right.
:'''Duncan''': Are you telling me you've seen him?
:'''Joe''': Me? No. He's an elusive guy. Have to be, to live as long as he has. An Immortal so old he doesn't remember the time of his birth.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Five thousand years.
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Yeah, give or take. And that was when I took my first head. Before that, it all starts to blur.
:'''Duncan''': I guess it would. So, after all this time, have You... ?
:'''Methos''': Made any sense of it all? Found any purpose?
:'''Duncan''': You read minds, too?
:'''Methos''': No. It's what I'd ask if I'd just met me.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Somehow I thought you'd be...
:'''Methos''': Deeper? Wiser? Bearded?
:'''Duncan''': I didn't really think you existed.
:'''Methos''': Ah, it's good to be a myth.
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, no one hunts for a myth. Or a Watcher.
:'''Methos''': What better place to hide? I'm in charge of finding myself...and I make sure it never happens.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': You think I'd still be around if I was an easy mark?
:'''Duncan''': When was the last time you faced anyone?
:'''Methos''': What are we? [''checking his watch''] Sixth of March, uh, two hundred years. Hey, I may be a bit rusty but I'm still here.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': You think I wanna die? Do you think it's easy after thousands of years?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': So after five thousand years, your only solution is that I kill you?
:'''Methos''': He can beat me. He might beat you. He can't beat both of US.
:'''Duncan''': If it's that simple, why don't you take my head?
:'''Methos''': 'Cause it's not just a matter of who is the best fighter. It is about passion and hate. I don't have the fire. You do. You want Kalas.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': Live, Highlander. Grow stronger...fight another day.
===Take Back The Night [3.17]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': You've killed two already. How much is enough?
:'''Ceirdwyn''': There were five of them.
:'''Duncan''': This isn't the answer.
:'''Ceirdwyn''': A body for a body. A head for a head. Since the dawn of time. It's no different now.
:'''Duncan''': Revenge does nothing, Ceirdwyn... nothing.
----
:[''Speaking to her husband's grave'']
:'''Ceirdwyn''': I did what I had to do... But you'd think, after all this time, I would have learned... Death is always death. And when someone's gone, nothing can bring them back. Not pain, not rage... not revenge.
----
:[''About her dead (mortal) husband'']
:'''Duncan''': You going to be OK?
:'''Ceirdywn''': No, not for a long time... I'm not going to forget him, you know? But it was worth it. For the fifteen years we had together, I'll trade fifteen years of pain. I'd trade a hundred!
:'''Duncan''': But what about the price they pay? No family, living in secrecy... waiting for the night you go out and you never come back. Maybe we're not supposed to be with them.
:'''Ceirdwyn''': They're not children, MacLeod. They make their own decisions. Steven knew what I was, and he chose to be with me.
===Testimony [3.18]===
:''[Anne examines a Scottish broadsword]''
:'''[[w:Anne Lindsey|Anne Lindsey]]''': You fought the battle of Culloden with this? That was in 1746.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': I know, it's hard to accept. I thought coming here might help. That was a gift from Bonnie Prince Charlie. I claimed it after he died.
----
:'''Anne''': It's like a fairy tale, with swords and people living forever.
:'''Duncan''': Not always.
:'''Anne''': That's right, the heads. Do you really have to do that?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah.
----
:'''Anne''': Duncan, I've seen death. And I'm not afraid of it. Whatever happens, I want us to be together.
:'''Duncan''': Your whole life will never be the same.
:'''Anne''': My whole life has not been the same since the day I met you. I tried it with you. I've tried it without you. I'll take it with you any day.
----
:'''Kristov''': I'll kill you in a second, boy. Leave while you've still got your head.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': There's only one thing I hate more than being called a "boy". And that's your stupid paintings.
:''[They fight]''
----
:'''Richie''': I'd kiss you, but people might talk.
:'''Duncan''': They might.
----
:'''Anne''': So, is this the way it's always going to be?
:'''Duncan''': I don't know. I can't see into the future. Can you live with it?
:'''Anne''': I don't know. But I'd really like to try.
===Finale, Part One [3.21] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Amanda?
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': Gotta hand it to you, MacLeod...You've got a memory like an elephant.
:'''Duncan''': Amanda, what are you doing here? Besides making a fashion statement.
:'''Amanda''': You like it?... I'm making you dinner...
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Come on, Amanda, give. What do you really want?
:'''Amanda''': Just to make you happy.
:'''Duncan''': Why?
:'''Amanda''': So you won't kill me when I tell you what happened.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': What the hell are you doing here?
:'''Amanda''': Came to hear some jazz.
:'''Duncan''': Jazz.
:'''Amanda''': You know, American music. Miles, Coltrane, Wynton...[''off his look''] Alright, I was looking for you. [''his look doesn't change''] Alright, I was looking for Kalas! You know you can really be irritating sometimes?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': That went well. What the hell were you thinking of?
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': I wasn't thinking, I was improvising.
:'''Joe''': By cutting yourself open? And it took you five thousand years to figure that out.
:'''Methos''': You're disappointed in me, aren't you? Gimme a break. What were you expecting? Einstein? Freud? Buddha?
:'''Joe''': Forget it.
:'''Methos''': Sorry, Joe. I'm just a guy.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Amanda''': It's morning. I'm tired. It's hopeless. We'll never find him. Our only lead back to Kalas and you had to kill him.
:'''Duncan''': I told you, I didn't kill him. He fell.
:'''Amanda''': On his gun?
:'''Duncan''': Yes!
:'''Amanda''': And it went off just like that.
:'''Duncan''': Just like that.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': Well. Life as we know it is over.
===Finale, Part Two [3.22] ===
[''Looking down from the Eiffel Tower'']
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': Remember when Gustave Eiffel built this thing?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': World's Fair, 1889. Half the people thought it would ruin Paris forever. There were fist-fights all along the Champs Elysees.
:'''Amanda''': Now you can't imagine Paris without it.
<hr width="50%"/>
[''About going to see the editor of the Tribune'']
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': I've got a lot to offer. Five thousand years of history, Joe...I was there.
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': History's been written. People have been known to kill the messenger who waltzes in with a new version of the truth.
:'''Methos''': Why would I tell the truth?
<hr width="50%"/>
[''On the outer railing of the Eiffel Tower'']
:'''Amanda''': C'mon, MacLeod... Haven't you ever wanted to do something really crazy?
:'''Duncan''': Amanda, be careful. We don't fly.
:'''Amanda''': Have you ever tried? Relax. Whatever happens, I'll survive.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Antonius Kalas|Kalas]]''': MacLeod. It seems you're always a day late and a dollar short.
<hr width="50%"/>
[''After Macleod lets Kalas go'']
:'''Amanda''': You should have killed him. You had him... I can't believe you let him go!
:'''Duncan''': It's not that simple, Amanda...
:'''Amanda''': I'll tell you what's simple. Dead is simple.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': I was in Rome once. 93 A.D., the Coliseum... I saw Christians facing the lions. Some of them looked almost happy to die for their faith.
:'''Duncan''': Your point? Or are you just strolling down Memory Lane here?
:'''Methos''': But afterwards, the only ones looking happy were the lions
:'''Duncan''': This isn't about faith.
:'''Methos''': No, it's about sacrifice. It's a helluva thing to be a martyr, MacLeod... And that's exactly what Kalas wants. He's pushing all your buttons.
:'''Duncan''': Well, I'm open to suggestions. Enlighten me.
:'''Methos''': Maybe Amanda's right. You fight your best fight.
:'''Duncan''': ''[sarcastic]'' What? Every man for himself and to hell with the rest?
:'''Methos''': So what if the world finds out? Life's about change. Civilizations rise and fall.
:'''Duncan''': This isn't about civilization, this is about people! Amanda, Dawson, Richie... Our world isn't an ant farm.
:'''Methos''': ''[with a touch of admiration and humor]'' The passion of youth.
:'''Duncan''': ''[with a sense of humor]'' Boys will be boys.
:'''Methos''': And every cloud has a silver lining.
:'''Duncan''': What do you mean?
:'''Methos''': If you die, Amanda will be free to date.
:'''Duncan''': That's a comfort.
== Season Four ==
*Fourth and final version of the narration (also by Jim Byrnes):
''He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander. Born in 1592 in the Highlands of Scotland and he is still alive. He is immortal. For four hundred years he's been a warrior, a lover, a wanderer, constantly facing other Immortals in a combat to the death. The winner takes his enemy's head and with it, his power. I'm a Watcher, part of the secret society of men and women who observe and record, but never interfere. We know the truth about Immortals. In the end there can be only one. May it be Duncan MacLeod, The Highlander.''
===Homeland [4.1] ===
:''[At his parents' graves]''
:'''Rachel MacLeod''': I'm Rachel MacLeod, and those are my ancestors you're standing on.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Well, mine too, I'm Duncan MacLeod.
:'''Rachel''': Another one. Let me guess, you're here to find you Highland roots.
:'''Duncan''': I didn't know I'd lost them.
----
:'''Rachel''': Och, if it isn't the clansman. What can I get you? Haggis? Maybe a kilt?
:'''Duncan''': An ale would do just fine. Are the people of Glenfinnan always this friendly?
:'''Rachel''': We're friendly enough, just careful of strangers.
:'''Duncan''': Really. And since when is a MacLeod a stranger in Glenfinnan?
----
:'''Duncan''': All this for an ax?!
:'''Kanwulf''': An ax? An ax made by the Gods, MacLeod. Used by Loki and Thor themselves.
:'''Duncan''': You can't still believe that.
:'''Kanwulf''': As much as they believe in their pale Christ.
----
:''[At night. Duncan takes his father's sword down from the wall]''
:'''Rachel''': He came back from the dead, claimed his father's sword, killed the Viking, and stopped the slaughter.
:'''Duncan''': That's the legend, Rachel.
:'''Rachel''': The bracelet. Now this. If I asked you to explain, would it make any sense?
:''[Duncan is silent]''
:'''Rachel''': Duncan MacLeod.... maybe some legends are true.
:'''Duncan''': Maybe.
----
:''[Rachel is waiting when he returns the sword]''
:'''Duncan''': It's over.
:'''Rachel''': I knew you'd be back. The legend. That seems to belong in your hand.
:'''Duncan''': No, it belongs in Glenfinnan. This is it's home.
:''[She kisses him]''
:'''Rachel''': Your's too, Duncan MacLeod.
===Reunion [4.6] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Anne, you all right?
:'''[[w:Anne Lindsey|Anne Lindsey]]''': Yeah, I'm fine.
:'''Duncan''': Is the baby OK?
:'''Anne''': Yeah, the baby's... learning to tap-dance I think.
:'''Duncan''': Somebody told me that there was an emergency.
:'''Anne''': Well, yeah, it's your cousin. ''(Duncan looks blank)'' The one from Wisconsin.
:'''Duncan''': Kenny's here?
:'''Anne''': Yeah, he's in the chapel. I was gonna call security, but I thought, what am I gonna tell them, I've got this kid who could live forever but he's only safe in churches?
----
:''[Duncan walks through a minefield]''
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': When you think of me, when you, you know, if you ever had to describe me to someone else, would you think of me as a nurturing person?
:'''Duncan''': ''(long pause)'' Definitely. Is that it?
:'''Amanda''': No! I want you to be honest, OK?
:'''Duncan''': How honest?
:'''Amanda''': Honest. I mean, tell me the truth, don't think about hurting my feelings.
:'''Duncan''': OK, then, no. Nurturing is not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of you.
:'''Amanda''': Oh, I don't think you know me very well.
:'''Duncan''': Amanda, you're beautiful, you're smart, and you're a lot of fun. Nurturing's in there... it's just not high on the list.
:'''Amanda''': Well, do you think that I would have made a good mother?
:'''Duncan''': Absolutely.
:'''Amanda''': Really? I mean, because I could take it if you don't think that, you know, I have it in me.
:'''Duncan''': You would have made a wonderful mother.
:'''Amanda''': Really?
----
:''[Amanda touches Anne's belly]''
:'''Amanda''': Wow... so what's it like?
:'''Anne''': Oh, like all the cliches. Carrying a watermelon, walking like a duck. And this is the easy part. The tough part comes when she gets here.
:'''Amanda''': Are you scared?
:'''Anne''': Terrified. You know, I'm a single mother, I work crazy shifts and weird hours. She's gonna need me, and the ER's gonna need me, and I haven't figured out how I'm going to make it all work yet.
:'''Amanda''': You know what? I think your going to do great.
===Chivalry [4.10] ===
:''[Flashback to 1659]''
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Hey, you, in the coach, you carry a sword, why don't you use it?
:'''Kristin Gilles''': I could use it now, but then I could not do this. ''(Kisses Duncan)''
----
:'''Duncan''': Immortality definitely has an upside. Think about it, in 400 years you might be racing starships instead of Harleys.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': You think things are going to change that much?
:'''Duncan''': Well, Richie, when I was a kid, the fastest way to travel was by horse, and if you wanted to fly, you had to be a bird.
----
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': MacLeod-san, that katana is a lovely piece of art. May I? I washed my hands this morning.
:''[MacLeod hands it over]''
:'''Methos''': Ahhh! Quite a blade.
:''[Methos puts blade to Duncan's neck]''
:'''Duncan''': Not funny, Methos.
:'''Methos''': Not meant to be. Not only are you naive, now you are weaponless. How have you lived this long? Do you know how many Immortals she's killed? Want a list?
:'''Duncan''': All right, you've made your point.
:'''Methos''': Have I? One day she is going to kill you.
:'''Duncan''': She's tried already.
:'''Methos''': You're better with a blade than her, yes. You are stronger than her, yes. But if you keep letting her walk away, one day she gets lucky, and takes your head. Yes!
:'''Duncan''': Oh, I don't know, maybe she'll start to gloat like you.
:''[Duncan knocks Methos down and escapes]''
:'''Duncan''': You wanna play?
:'''Methos''': Great, you knock me on my bum because I make a bad joke. Very macho. But you keep letting her walk away, without even taking a shot, that is very suicidal.
:'''Duncan''': You know what she was to me.
:'''Methos''': Yes, and I know what she is. A killer. You treat her like one.
----
:'''Methos''': A couple of medieval songwriters come up with the idea of chivalry one rainy day...
:'''Duncan''': This isn't about chivalry!
:'''Methos''': ...and you embrace it as a lifestyle. You live and die by a code of honor that was trendy when you were a kid.
:'''Duncan''': Would you rather that I had no code of honor at all?
:'''Methos''': I would rather you survived. You put that first.
----
:''[Duncan disarms Kristin but cannot kill her]''
:'''Methos''': Pick it up.
:'''Kristin''': Who the hell are you?
:'''Methos''': A man who was born long before the age of chivalry. Pick it up.
:''[They fight]''
===Timeless [4.11] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': You really are a spoiled brat.
:'''Claudia Jardine''': I was a spoiled brat when we first met, but now... I'm a genius.
:'''Duncan''': Silly me, I forgot. ''(hands her a glass)'' Here. It's not poisoned, although I'm tempted.
:'''Claudia''': You know, just because you think you own me doesn't mean you can tell me how to live my life.
:'''Duncan''': I don't think I own you.
:'''Claudia''': Oh yes you do. If you hadn't paid for Juilliard, the Paris Conservatory, I would probably be stuck in some crummy lounge in Las Vegas doing my one millionth rendition of Proud Mary.
:'''Duncan''': Is this a thank you I'm hearing?
:'''Claudia''': I thank you by being brilliant.
:'''Duncan''': She said modestly.
----
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Excuse me, if I sat at a table, would you be my waitress?
:'''Alexa Bond''': ''(to Joe)'' Is he a good tipper?
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe Dawson]]''': No.
:'''Alexa''': Well. Too bad. Makes up for it in cute, though.
:'''Methos''': Cute. I can do cute.
----
:'''Methos''': I'm, uh, Adam Pierson.
:'''Alexa''': Where are you from?
:'''Methos''': Umm...
:'''Alexa''': Your accent. Your not from here.
:'''Methos''': No, I've traveled a lot.
:'''Alexa''': Really?!?! Paris?
:'''Methos''': Paris is too full of Parisians. Even the French don't like Paris.
:'''Alexa''': Venice?
:'''Methos''': Venice, the smell alone would kill you.
:'''Alexa''': A little young to be so cynical, aren't you?
:'''Methos''': Well, if you say so.
:'''Alexa''': I just did. ''(leaves)''
:'''Methos''': What did I say?
:'''Joe''': Ah, forget it, Alexa's not your type, OK?
----
:''[Discussing Claudia]''
:'''Methos''': How long have you known her?
:'''Duncan''': Since she was 14. She was living with a foster family. Pretty poor, and intimidated that they had a prodigy in their midst.
:'''Methos''': And does she know...
:'''Duncan''': That she's one of us? Doesn't have a clue.
----
:''[Walter has been trying to kill her]''
:'''Duncan''': You're completely insane!
:'''Walter''': It makes so much sense, MacLeod! Don't read something diabolical into it.
:'''Duncan''': Immortality is not a game of tag. You can't say "you're it!" or "you're it!". It's not for us to decide when a mortal life is over.
:'''Walter''': But I must. If she doesn't die, now, at the pinnacle of her genius, it could be lost forever.
:'''Duncan''': You don't know that!
:'''Walter''': Ooh, Shakespeare. I found my purpose, MacLeod. Imagine, Claudia Jardine's talent living on through the ages... under my loving guidance.
:'''Duncan''': Walter, get a life!
:'''Walter''': Don't you see, she'll thank me. She will always be young, and beautiful, and passionate...
:'''Duncan''': ...and what happens when her fans see that she's not getting any older?
----
:'''Alexa''': Well... either you like to drink or you're crazy about the blues.
:'''Methos''': No, I was waiting for you... I see I leave you speechless, this is an excellent start.
:'''Alexa''': A start to what?
:'''Methos''': To... Dinner, a film, a concert, a smile, a sunset, a walk, all of the above, whatever you would like...
:'''Alexa''': Do women really fall for that line?
:'''Methos''': I have no idea, I've never used it before.
:'''Alexa''': .... Why do you want to go out with me?
:'''Methos''': Because the alternative is unthinkable.
----
:'''Alexa''': I'm dying. You see, don't you? We can't go out tomorrow.
:'''Methos''': Absolutely. We'd better make it tonight.
----
:'''Methos''': Where's Alexa? We have a date.
:'''Joe''': She called in sick.
:'''Methos''': Where does she live?
:'''Joe''': Adam, she doesn't want to see you, OK? Just leave her alone.
:'''Methos''': Joe, I didn't ask for your opinion. I know she's dying, OK. You are all dying. 20 years, 6 months, what's the difference?
:'''Joe''': She's protecting herself. She's protecting you, don't you get it?
:'''Methos''': Yes, I get it! Now tell me where she lives.
===Methuselah's Gift [4.16] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Amanda, you've lived for over a thousand years, how many times have you seen real magic?
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': MacLeod, I was an illiterate thief starving on the street before Rebecca found me and made me her student. This is all I have left of her. Magic or not, no-one's gonna take this from me!
----
:'''Duncan''': There is no way Methos sent those men, not a chance!
:'''Amanda''': Why not? It's perfect. It's wily, it's devious, it's... just like him.
----
:'''Duncan''': Why are you doing this? You've lived this long without it, why do you need it now?
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Alexa... she's in hospital in Geneva, she doesn't have long.
:'''Duncan''': You knew it had to be this way.
:'''Methos''': Yeah, from the first moment I saw her. Is, is that supposed to make it easier? Is that supposed to make it OK?
----
:'''Methos''': You understand nothing. Three weeks ago, we were standing on a beach on Santorini, watching the sun rise on the Mediterranean. Now she is lying in a hospital in Switzerland breathing through a tube! ... You think it takes courage to do what we do? Face another Immortal with a sword, knowing only one of you will live? You try being her! You try living one year, knowing that your time is running out. Knowing that when it comes to the final fight, however much you train, whatever tricks you have, you still lose! That's the way it is for them. So little time for them to see anything or do anything.
----
:'''Methos''': My flight back to Geneva leaves at 10. She'll never know how close I came.
:'''Duncan''': She'll know how much you love her.
:'''Methos''': As much as I can for as long as she lives.
===The Immortal Cimoli [4.17] ===
:''[At the circus]''
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': How can you not be excited, MacLeod? Just the smell of sawdust, popcorn and cotton candy. This makes me feel like a kid! Oh, isn't it exciting! I mean the sights, the sounds, the carnies!
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': The wonderful smell of wet fur. Low pay, rotten hours, sleeping in trucks.
----
:'''Danny Cimoli''': Sorry, no more autographs, I've got a monster headache.
:'''Duncan''': I don't want an autograph, and that's not a headache. We need to talk about who you are.
:'''Danny''': ''(laughs)'' Like the poster says, I'm The Immortal Cimoli!
:'''Duncan''': Ah, the Immortal Cimoli!
:'''Amanda''': He's got that part figured out.
:'''Duncan''': Listen to me. That headache that you got, all of us get it. It's how we know another one of us is around.
:'''Danny''': Ah... look, Mister, I don't know what you're talking about...
:'''Duncan''': ... you died recently, a robbery or an accident or something? But you didn't stay dead, did you?
:'''Danny''': How did you know?
:'''Duncan''': Because it happened to me. Four hundred years ago.
:'''Amanda''': We should talk.
----
:'''Danny''': Ever since the truck hit me, I've thought, this can't last, one day it's going to end, bang, I won't get up. But if it lasts forever, I can do any trick. Anything, and I wont die! I'll be bigger than Houdini.
:'''Duncan''': Sit down. Sit down! This isn't some trick for some magic act!
----
:''[They are in bed together]''
:'''Amanda''': MacLeod, you awake? What are you thinking about?
:'''Duncan''': Umm, Danny.
:'''Amanda''': Must be losing my touch.
:'''Duncan''': No, you're not losing your touch!
:''[They snuggle]''
:'''Duncan''': What are you thinking about?
:'''Amanda''': Moscow.
:'''Duncan''': I must be losing my touch.
----
:'''Danny''': The hell with the Rules, and the hell with the Game. I want out.
:'''Amanda''': Sorry, Danny, but that's not an option.
----
:'''Duncan''': Houdini was a friend of mine, and you, Danny, are no Houdini.
===Till Death [4.20] ===
:''[Flashback to 1696]''
:'''Robert''': Well, well, well, what have we here, mice in the parlor. And Immortal mice at that.
:'''[[w:Hugh Fitzcairn|Hugh Fitzcairn]]''': I told you there was another way in. Didn't I tell you?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Be quiet! I'd be careful who I called a mouse, especially if I was a rat.
:'''Robert''': ''(gazing at Gina)'' If you're a thief, I've never seen a comlier one.
:'''Duncan''': You're the thief, we're just protecting her assets.
:'''Robert''': And they are wonderful assets.
:'''Fitzcairn''': If you please sir! A gentleman does not address a lady in that manner! I'll have his head!
:'''Duncan''': Ah, don't be ridiculous. You being dead would probably put her off her appetite.
----
:''[Flashback to 1696]''
:'''Fitzcairn''': La-la, la-la-la-la-la!
:'''Duncan''': You know, when I heard that voice I said to myself, "That must be Fitzcairn - either that or a dog in heat."
----
:''[At Robert and Gina's wedding (1696)]''
:'''Fitzcairn''': You realize, none of this would have happened if she had come to the opera with me that night.
:'''Duncan''': No, she would have seen you for the raving lunatic you are and she would have been with me.
:'''Fitzcairn''': I should have asked her to marry me while I still had the chance.
:'''Duncan''': You, married? You couldn't stay faithful to a woman for what, more than one hour?
:'''Fitzcairn''': Well I would have given it a fair try.
----
:'''Gina''': Maybe we are not meant to spend three centuries together. I mean, who mates for life? Swans? Geese? Lobster?
----
:'''Duncan''': Don't you want to see Robert and Gina live happily ever after?
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Yeah, but I want to see me live happily ever after even more.
----
:'''Methos''': I knew it, I knew it! Getting between a married couple. It's a rule I haven't broken for two thousand years. I knew this would happen.
:'''Duncan''': She'll cool off, I'm just telling you to be careful, that's all.
:'''Methos''': Great, so I lose my head after five thousand years so that you can play marriage guidance counselor. I must have been out of my mind!
== Season Five ==
===Prophecy [5.1] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': Honey, I'm home.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': So how did you find me? Witchcraft?
:'''[[w:Cassandra (Highlander)|Cassandra ]]''': Why bother? It's the twentieth century. I used a detective agency.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Like you said, this is the twentieth century. I left prophecies behind with the witches and the fairies.
:'''Cassandra ''': Duncan, listen to me. The prophecy tells of a Highland foundling born on the winter solstice who passes through darkness into light and survives to challenge the voice of death.
:'''Duncan''': Really? Is this before or after I slay the dragon?
<hr width="50%"/>
''[Roland Kantos arrives, points his sword at Duncan]''
:'''Duncan''': I guess he doesn't like me.
:'''Cassandra ''': We've got to leave, now! ''[Duncan starts walking towards Roland]'' What are you doing?
:'''Duncan''': I guess asking him to dance is out of the question.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Roland''': The signs for the prophecy are all in place. You're all that stands in my way. Or don't you believe in signs?
:'''Duncan''': Oh no I believe in signs. Don't litter, don't step on the grass, no spitting.
:'''Roland''': I prefer rest in peace.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Power or no power, this is holy ground, he can't harm us here.
:'''Cassandra ''': And none of us can avoid our fate. "An evil one will come to vanquish all before him. Only a Highland child, born on the winter solstice, who has seen both darkness and light, can stop him. A child and a man."
:'''Duncan''': We make our own destinies. Nothing is written.
===The End of Innocence [5.2] ===
''[To Joe]''
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': I'm an Immortal, you're a Watcher. We can't cross that line. How many times do we have to be taught that?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': That's the way it is, isn't it? -- get them before they get you. I've been practicing. Next time you pull a sword on me, it won't be so easy.
:'''Duncan''': Richie, I'd like to take back what happened, but I can't. But what you're doing is wrong and you know that, don't you?
:'''Richie''': Thanks for the tip.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': I know who I am. I've been a Watcher for more than twenty-five years. It's as much a part of me as your clan MacLeod is to you.
:'''Duncan''': Then for once, keep your vow. Don't interfere.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': What good is philosophy in a fight?
:'''Graham Ashe''': We fight to stay alive -- don't forget to live. Imagine what you can see in a thousand years. Imagine what you can do. It's all there for us, Duncan, because we are blessed. Blessed beyond reason with the gift of eternal life. And every year brings something new -- a new vintage, a new fighting move... or a new pattern of flowers on an Italian hillside. Open your eyes and see it. Cherish it
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Richie''': Look Mac, if the bail comes with a lecture I'd just as soon wait it out in a cell.
:'''Duncan''': The guy who's after you. Haresh Clay.
:'''Richie''': What about him?
:'''Duncan''': I've met him once before.
:'''Richie''': Then how come you're both still alive?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': You're out of the Watchers?
:'''Joe''': Maybe it's too late... or maybe it's about time. Like Mrs. Wischnoff used to say in my old neighbourhood -- Meit ein tuchas can Meir nisht danzen a tsvai hossannas.
:'''Duncan''': Yeah - With one ass, a man can't dance at two weddings.
:'''Joe''': You know you were right. I couldn't be both your Watcher and your friend.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': For thousands of years Immortals have fought and Watchers have observed. One day, there will only be one of us left. And some day maybe none at all. Somebody has to record that we've lived. Somebody has to record the history we've seen and the lessons we've learned.
===Manhunt [5.3] ===
:'''Detective Frayne''': You're the serial killer guy?
:'''Matthew McCormick''': Among other things. The "serial killer guy" will do.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Matthew McCormick''': ''[referring to a slinky]'' You know what I like about these? If you had enough stairs, they'd just go on forever.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': Unless they're stopped.
:'''Matthew McCormick''': Kinda like us.
:'''Duncan''': No, just like us.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Carl Robinson (Highlander)|Carl]]''': It's freezin' in there.
:'''Duncan''': Well yeah, It's the morgue. At least you're still fresh.
:'''Carl''': You know, you're real funny, MacLeod. Hey, who picked out these clothes anyway? Your mother?
:'''Duncan''': ''[to Matthew]'' You should have killed him.
===The Valkyrie [5.10] ===
:'''Inspector Breslaw''': Are you a writer of fiction, Mr. MacLeod? ''(No)'' ... That's a shame. Possessed of such an imagination, it seems a shame to squander your talents on my humble self.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': If I could help you, Inspector, I would.
:'''Breslaw''': Would you? Let's review, shall we? You just happen to be here when they are setting up for the Wilkinson speech.
:'''Duncan''': No, I was here the day before for a boxing match, and I was...
:'''Breslaw''': ...A woman you have never seen before has a gun. You take the gun away from her. Then she screams you have a gun, and runs away leaving you holding the weapon. Do I understand correctly so far?
:'''Duncan''': I know how it sounds...
----
:'''Duncan''': So what Breslaw was saying about the murders was true?
:'''Ingrid''': They weren't murders. They were assassinations. There's a difference.
:'''Duncan''': The end result is the same.
:'''Ingrid''': Yes, but some people deserve to die. That's the difference.
----
:'''Duncan''': You mind telling me what you find funny about this?
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Not exactly funny, but pretty entertaining, yeah.
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe Dawson]]''': Just what is so entertaining?
:'''Methos''': MacLeod tussling with another of his moral dilemmas.
:'''Duncan''': You know there are times I really don't like you.
:'''Methos''': That's OK, sometimes I don't like myself.
:'''Joe''': I see. Ingrid Henning.
:'''Methos''': Hey, ask Joe about her.
:'''Duncan''': I don't have to ask Joe about her. I know about her. She failed to kill Hitler in '44 and she's been making up for it ever since.
----
:'''Methos''': It is the ultimate in arrogance to think that one person can alter the course of history.
:'''Duncan''': You can't deny that by killing Hitler in '44, thousands of lives would have been saved, maybe millions.
:'''Methos''': Yeah, and if you'd killed him in '43 like Rommel wanted, maybe Germany would have won the war. ... History makes men, MacLeod, men don't make history.
----
:'''Breslaw''': What is she to you? A lover? A relation, perhaps? Or just an old friend? Old friends are the worst. They claim more of your soul.
:'''Duncan''': I don't agree with what Ingrid's done.
:'''Breslaw''': But part of you understands it, yes?
----
:'''Breslaw''': Your lawyer is here, and since I'm not going to charge you, goodbye.
:'''Duncan''': My lawyer? This I've got to see.
:'''Methos''': Officers... Well, that worked pretty well.
:'''Duncan''': Since when are you my attorney?
:'''Methos''': Whatever you need. Lawyer, doctor, Indian chief, I've got paperwork to cover it all.
----
:''[He shot Ingrid. They are getting drunk.]''
:'''Breslaw''': Never gets any easier ... the killing I mean.
:'''Duncan''': Maybe it's not supposed to.
:'''Breslaw''': Maybe if I die a little tonight ... it will even things out between me and God.
:'''Duncan''': I hear Wilkinson's speech is back on for tomorrow night.
:'''Breslaw''': This time he is on his own. When I was a little boy everything was black and white, good and evil, you see. Then I grew up and discovered that there was only gray. I'm sorry I had to kill your friend.
:'''Duncan''': The Ingrid I knew I'll never forget. But the one you killed, I don't even know who she was. You did what you had to do.
:'''Breslaw''': But was I right? If this fascist scum Wilkinson becomes your President in the next 5 or 10 years, how am I going to sleep at night?
:'''Duncan''': I would have made the same choice.
----
:'''Duncan''': Ingrid asked me something before she died.
:'''Methos''': They usually do.
:'''Duncan''': She said, what was the difference between her killing them and me killing her.
:'''Methos''': Good question, right up there with chicken and egg.
:'''Duncan''': So what you're saying is there is no answer?
:'''Methos''': No, there is an answer. But the real question is whether you're ready for it. ''(Duncan nods)'' Stephanovitch killed, and Ingrid judged him. Wilkinson killed, and Ingrid judged him. Ingrid killed, and you judged her.
:'''Duncan''': So who judges me?
:'''Methos''': ''(long pause)'' You hungry?
== Season Six ==
===Avatar [6.1] ===
''[At Richie's grave. The headstone reads RICHIE RYAN -- 22 YEARS -- FRIEND]''
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': I guess it's just you and me Richie. I can't believe it's been a year already. I wish I could tell you why this happened. That it all makes sense now...But I can't. I'm sorry.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': He knows why.
:'''Joe''': Well, welcome back.
:'''Duncan''': I'm glad you stayed in Paris.
:'''Joe''': Somebody had to. ''[pause]'' I buried him with his sword. I didn't know what else to put on the headstone... It seemed right.
:'''Duncan''': 'Friend' is good. Because that's what he was.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': When Richie died, I wanted to die. But I realized that if his death was to mean anything, I had to survive... I had to understand what happened. I had to believe what happened.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Joe''': But how to we beat something with the power of life and death?
:'''Duncan''': Because we have to, Joe. Because there is no one else.
:'''Joe''': What the hell.
:'''Duncan''': Exactly.
===Armageddon [6.2] ===
''[Ahriman disguised as Horton; referring to a snake]''
:'''[[w:James Horton|Horton]]''': Somewhat theatrical, I agree. A thousand years ago it would have been enough to have caused a panic in the streets.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': What do you want?
:'''Horton''': But this is the scientific age. People don't believe in demons and devils anymore. And maybe that's my best trick yet. ''[on laptop screen]'' All that technology...So much useless information... It's almost a sin to want to know so much.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': We went back to the archives. The symbol turned up in the writings of an ancient German mystic. To him it was a force of hate that could only be defeated by love.
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': Fine for Gandhi. But what about us? What else did he say?
:'''Duncan''': Nothing. Seems he died before he could finish his memoirs.
:'''Joe''': That's great. So what do we do, sit and contemplate our navels while the world goes to hell?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Game's over. Your time is up.
:'''Ahriman''': No gun. No sword. How are you going to fight me? Are you going to huff and puff and blow my house down?
:'''Duncan''': I become one with everything. I become one with you.
:'''Ahriman''': Too bad you didn't think of that before you killed Richie.
:'''Duncan''': I become everything. Therefore I become nothing.
:'''Ahriman''': C'mon, be a man. I dare you!
:'''Duncan''': Therefore you are nothing. Without my anger, you have no substance. Without my pride, you have no form. Without my hate... you - have - no - being.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Evil exist in all of us, Joe. When we deny that, we give evil power. Ahriman said it himself. His greatest trick was to convince the world he didn't exist. But, he does, he exists in all of us. Once I accepted that, I was able to defeat him.
===Sins of the Father [6.3] ===
:'''Alex Raven''': MacLeod, you're like a bad penny.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Alex Raven''': We've gotta stop meeting like this.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': Then you've gotta stop trying to blow up my friends.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': So there is no Russian Mafia.
:'''Grant''': Sure there is...somewhere.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': We rewrite our history all the time because we have to. We rationalize our cruelty. So we can look in the mirror and face ourselves.
===Two of Hearts [6.10] ===
:'''Kate''': Have you ever heard of the Kama Sutra?
:'''Nick''': Yeah, you read it?
:'''Kate''': Read it? I modeled for the drawings.
----
:'''Nick''': Who is he?
:'''Kate''': You don't need to know.
:'''Nick''': Who is he, Kate?
:'''Kate''': His name is Bartholemew.
:'''Nick''': Wait, let me guess. You've been searching for him for a zillion years and now that you've found him, your gonna have to kill him. How am I doing here?
:'''Kate''': Don't do that.
:'''Nick''': What?
:'''Kate''': Piss on something you don't understand.
----
:'''Nick''': I say we get a line on the money first.
:'''Kate''': No, I don't want his money, I want his head.
:'''Nick''': That's very big of you. I wonder if that's what the kids want. You know, the one's he stealing from.
:'''Kate''': I hate you.
:'''Nick''': That money could feed a lot of babies. But, if you want to kill him, kill him.
:'''Kate''': I really hate you.
----
:'''Kate''': Look, I'm sorry I'm Immortal, Nick, there's nothing I can do about it.
:'''Nick''': Now you're getting irrational.
:'''Kate''': Tell me it doesn't drive you crazy, that I can't die and you can.
:'''Nick''': I don't believe this! I mean, first you lie to me, and then when things don't work out you lay this on me.
:'''Kate''': Look, you knew what I was when we met. You know the Game, you know the Rules.
:'''Nick''': And you know me, Kate. Am I the type of guy whose going to sit on his ass and let you walk off and maybe get whacked? Tell me Kate, is that who you ever thought I was?
:'''Kate''': No.
:'''Nick''': How the hell did we happen?
:'''Kate''': I didn't know we were going to happen. I didn't know I was going to fall in love with you. Nick, the part of my life that has to do with being Immortal has nothing to do with you. It can't.
:'''Nick''': Katherine, I'm either in your life, all of it, or I'm gone.
===Patient Number 7 [6.5] ===
:'''Kyra''': Why should I trust you? Give me a reason, give me one good reason.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': Because there is no one else.
----
:''[Flashback to 1640, a tavern]''
:'''Gaston''': You've forgotten what it's like to be a woman. I think you need a real man to remind you.
:'''Kyra''': What men? All I see are a pair of miserable toads who work for the bastard Richelieu.
:'''Gaston''': Cardinal Richelieu does the work of God!
:'''Kyra''': Somehow I doubt God spends much of his time in the sewers of France. Tell me, is it true Richelieu has syphilis? Because if so, that's quite an accomplishment for a eunuch. Well, maybe he's not a eunuch, but you know, I hear it's, um... ''(points to the end of her little finger)''
:''[They fight. She wins.]''
----
:''[Flashback to 1640, an inn]''
:''[They are sharing a bed, under strictly honorable circumstances]''
:'''Kyra''': I've never met a Scotsman before. Tell me, are they well armed?
:'''Duncan''': Ah-hem. What exactly do you mean?
:'''Kyra''': I mean their swords, of course. What did you think I meant?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, well, your French toad stabbers, they're fine for some, but they're kind of puny.
:'''Kyra''': You think them small?
:'''Duncan''': Och! They're hardly worth your while. Now a Scotsman's weapon, that's another matter. Once it gets going there's nothing that can stop it.
:'''Kyra''': Really?
:'''Duncan''': Aye. Two hands to hold the thing. I doubt you could even hold it.
:'''Kyra''': Surely you exaggerate.
:'''Duncan''': No, not a wee bit. Come to Scotland and I'll show you.
:'''Kyra''': Scotland?
:'''Duncan''': You dinna think I could bring it in here did you? I mean the bloody thing wouldn't fit through the door.
:'''Kyra''': Oh. Oh, you mean your sword.
:'''Duncan''': A claymore, of course. What did you think I meant?
----
:''[Taunting a bad guy]''
:'''Kyra''': Looking for me? Mine's a .44. Modified. Go right through you. Probably kill your partner too.... Of course, I'm only a girl. Might lose my nerve. Might even miss. ''(BANG)'' But not this time.
----
:'''Duncan''': After the trial, the chief judge was murdered. Albright...
:'''Kyra''': Richard. Richard was his name. Did you ever meet someone truly good, MacLeod? Someone who didn't want money, or power, or, or glory? Somebody beyond temptation and corruption?
:'''Duncan''': You were his bodyguard.
:'''Kyra''': I did a hell of a job, didn't I?
:'''Duncan''': And there's more?
:'''Kyra''': That's how it started. God, I loved him. Richard believed, MacLeod, believed like, like nobody I've ever met before. Justice, compassion. They were his Gods. Being with him was like being inside a warm, bright light. For 10 years, MacLeod. I wanted it never to stop. And then somebody stopped it. Do you know what that feels like?

'''''[[w:Highlander: The Series|Highlander: The Series]]''''' (1992–1998) was an English language fantasy/sci-fi television series featuring [[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]] ([[w:Adrian Paul|Adrian Paul]]), of the Scottish Clan MacLeod, as the Highlander of the title
== Season One ==
*Original narration, read by Adrian Paul:
''I am Duncan MacLeod, born four hundred years ago in the Highlands of Scotland. I am Immortal and I am not alone. For centuries we've waited for the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword and a fall of a head will release the power of the Quickening. In the end, there can be only one.''
*Second narration, for the second half of the First Season (also by Adrian Paul):
''I was born four hundred years ago in the Highlands of Scotland. I am immortal and I am not alone. Now is the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword will release the power of the Quickening. In the end, there can be only one.''
===Bad Day In Building A [1.07]===
:''(Duncan is telling a little girl a story in a compromised building.)''
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Once there was this place where the faerie-people lived. It was a beautiful city in those days, surrounded by white walls, and tall stone towers...
:'''Little girl, Belinda''': What were they like?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, they were like regular people, except they lived for a very long time, and they never grew old.
:'''Belinda''': Like Peter Pan!
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, sort of. Well, the fairies...were handsome, and wise, and very, very clever. The problem was, as time went on, there were more and more people, and soon the faerie people had to leave this home in the faerie city. They moved into the mountains, and into the old forests, and in the caves, and in the cliffs, but the other people always found these places, so the faerie people had to move on.
:'''Belinda''': That's sad. Where do they live now?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, Belinda, they're all around us, and you know what their job is? It's to protect children, and sometimes tell them stories.
:'''Belinda''': Have you ever met one?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, lots.
===The Sea Witch [1.09]===
:'''Duncan MacLeod''': You have not changed.
:'''Alexey Voshin''': No, did you expected me to?
:'''Duncan''': No, that's why I'm here.
----
:'''Melinda''': He's gonna be ok?
:'''Tessa''': I don't know.
----
:'''Tessa''': I'm going to think about both of you for a long time.
----
:'''Tessa''': Bad money put to good use.
----
:'''Tessa''': I'm going to think about both of you for a long time.
----
:'''Tessa''': I am going to miss you, Melinda, very very much. I'll always remember you.
:'''Melinda''': Promise?
:'''Tessa''': You see, I am going to save you right here. ''(in her heart)''
===See No Evil [1.11]===
:'''Randi McFarland''': ''(to Duncan)'' Surprise, surprise! Another weird murder attempt and you're right here in the middle of it.
----
:'''Randi''': Come on, MacLeod, you were here. Give me a quote.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Those who forget the past are condemned to relive it.
----
:''[She is crying]''
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': I just keep seeing him in front of me as I ... ''(ran him over with a car)''
:'''Duncan''': You did what you had to.
:'''Tessa''': I thought ridding the world of evil would feel better than this.
:'''Duncan''': I know... I know.
===Eyewitness [1.12]===
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': Whoa! Damn, check me out, I am one sharp dude!
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': Even if you do say so yourself.
:'''Richie''': Hey, Tess, I'm just callin em as I see em.
----
:'''Tessa''': I stay with you because I want to! I won't run. I'm not that "little woman", and I'll never be barefoot and pregnant! We all have things to face. This is mine. I have to see it through.
----
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Tessa, you're stronger than she was. If something happened to me, you'd be fine.
:'''Tessa''': You only think so because it suits you.
----
:'''Tessa''': Duncan, when the time comes, if you ever have to leave me, ''(Duncan groans)'' I won't be like Ann, I'll leave you first.
:'''Duncan''': You do that!
:'''Tessa''': Yeah?
:''[they kiss]''
:'''Duncan''': Yeah! And I'll follow you, wherever you go, for as long as you live.
:'''Tessa''': Mmmm... Then maybe, just maybe, I won't leave.
===Band of Brothers [1.13]===
:'''Grayson''': I shall hunt down your proteges, one by one, until you sicken of it and come out of sanctuary to fight me.
:'''Darius''': Will it please you that much to destroy me?
:'''Grayson''': Immensely.
----
:'''Darius''': Grayson! You believed in me once.
:'''Grayson''': I didn't change, you did.
----
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': So what makes this Grayson guy so different from the others?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': He's 1400 years older than I am. He's one of the few ancient Immortals left. He's been a warlord most of that time. You don't just go up to him with your sword and say "Tsst, tsst, tsst! En garde, fool!".
----
:'''Duncan''': The legend has it that Darius killed a holy man at the gates of Paris, the oldest living Immortal at the time. And suddenly he changed. He turned his back on war.
----
:'''Richie''': Did Darius ever change you?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, I guess he did. I was born of a warrior people. When war came I chose sides like most men. I fought. I killed.
----
:''[Flashback to Waterloo, 1815]''
:'''Darius''': You shouldn't be taking part in this tragedy.
:'''Duncan''': I was raised a warrior. I choose battles I believe to be just.
:'''Darius''': Oh, I'm sure. You're quite loyal to your convictions and compatriots... But I wonder what these ''(dead)'' men think about that, about convictions and compatriotism now?
----
:''[Duncan's thoughts as he prepares for battle]''
: Hope doesn't conquer a superior adversary. So why do I hope to beat Grayson? Why do I think that a good life will protect me from an evil one? What power can I draw from this thing, this hope?
----
:'''Victor Paulus''': You've saved my life again. Why are you... who are you?
:'''Duncan''': I'm a friend of Darius.
:'''Victor''': You didn't learn this ''(fighting)'' from Darius.
:'''Duncan''': I wasn't much of a student.
----
:'''Darius''': I wasn't always a priest, you know. When I was a young man the first thing you had to do when introduced to a woman was compliment her father's horse. ''(Richie looks doubtful)'' Well, that probably doesn't help you.
----
:'''Duncan''': It's a good job, huh?
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': Great job.
:'''Duncan''': Great. I like being kept.
:'''Tessa''': Kept?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, I mean, hang out on the barge, catch up on my reading, while you bring home the bacon.
:'''Tessa''': Barge, what barge?
:'''Duncan''': Oh I forgot to tell you about the barge. No self-respecting museum curator would live anywhere else.
:'''Tessa''': So I slave away all day while you sunbathe on a barge. Is that it?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, but just think of how ... rested I'll be. He he he...
===For Evil's Sake [1.14]===
:''[Flashback to about 1800]''
:'''Baron Deshields''': Absinthe?
:'''Kuyler''': From the Luchessi family. None better in the whole of France.
:'''Deshields''': No, thank you. Madness and death are not things to which I aspire.
:'''Kuyler''': Who wants to live forever?
----
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Do you have any, uh, any absinthe?
:'''storekeeper''': It is against the law to sell absinthe.
:'''Duncan''': ''(displays money)'' Well, uh, to connoissuers... ''(more money)'' true men of discretion... ''(more money)'' such things can be made unimportant.
:'''shopkeeper''': I wish I could help you.
:'''Duncan''': Me too... ''(more money)''
:'''shopkeeper''': Who sent you here?
:'''Duncan''': A friend whose tastes I share.
----
:'''Kuyler''': Incidentally, I owe you an apology. Anthony was very sloppy. I killed him for you.
:'''Duncan''': You're mad, Kuyler.
:'''Kuyler''': Maybe. Maybe I'm just trying to excel at what I do. Didn't you ever want to be the best at something?
:'''Duncan''': Murder means nothing to you?
:'''Kuyler''': On the contrary, it means everything.
----
:'''Kuyler''': Do you know how many Mortals I've killed over the years?
:'''Duncan''': I'm sure you do.
:'''Kuyler''': I've kept a book. 2760. Now I don't just think I'm bragging, but, I'm the greatest assassin in all of history. Of course, there have been men responsible for more deaths, but none of them killed so many, so close.
:'''Duncan''': I don't think there are going to be any more entries in your book.
===For Tomorrow We Die [1.15]===
:'''[[w:Darius (Highlander)|Darius]]''': Why are you here?
:'''[[w:Xavier St. Cloud|Xavier St. Cloud]]''': I've come to confess. Same as everyone else. Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.
:'''Darius''': I will not hear this.
:'''Xavier''': You are a priest, and I am a sinner. Isn't that how it goes? Or have you reinvented the position?
:'''Darius''': Why do this? It means nothing to you.
:'''Xavier''': Because it means everything to you.
----
:'''Dalou''': Parisians don't mind a little larceny now and then. If it's done with ingenuity, no one gets hurt.
----
:'''Inspector LeBrun''': If this man kills again because you're holding out on me, I will personally have your head.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Well I think your gonna have to wait in line.
----
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': Mac, you ever had it bad for an older woman?
:'''Duncan''': Well, the situation hasn't come up recently.
----
:'''Xavier''': I'm just trying to earn a few francs. After all, a man's gotta live.
:'''Duncan''': Not necessarily.
:''[They fight]''
===Saving Grace [1.17]===
:'''[[w:Darius (Highlander)|Darius]]''': War in the abstract is a great intellectual puzzle, but in reality it's all blood and tears.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Then why make it into a game?
:'''Darius''': To deny what I was is to deny what I am.
----
:'''Grace Chandel''': God, I get so tired of it sometimes. We go on and everything around us dies.
----
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': Do you still love her?
:'''Duncan''': No.
:'''Tessa''': That's all that needs to be said. She's your friend, and she's been hurt. You'll help her. I'd expect you to do no less.
----
:'''Grace''': The truth is, you and I were too different.
:'''Duncan''': Maybe if I'd stayed.
:'''Grace''': You would've been unhappy. So I let you go. My wandering knight, charging off to right all the wrongs of the world.
----
:''[At her husband's grave]''
:'''Grace''': You'd think I'd learn how to handle this, wouldn't you. The strange thing is, every time it happens I tell myself I won't go through it again. I swear to myself I won't fall in love with a mortal. As if love were something you had any control over. You and Mac have something good. I envy you.
:'''Tessa''': Grace, about you and Mac...
:'''Grace''': We had a moment, that was all. Though I wanted it to be more. Please don't hold it against me.
:'''Tessa''': It's funny, but I don't. It would take me several lifetimes to find out everything in Duncan's past. I know there have been others. But I never thought I would meet one of them. And here you are.
===The Lady and the Tiger [1.18]===
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': You don't look like someone who would worry much about forgiveness.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': Tess, you do know that they all carry ''big'' swords with them. Just a thought.
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': You've always had a taste for beautiful and spirited women, Duncan.
:'''Tessa''': And modest. Don't forget modest.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Time to go. It's been thrilling.
:'''Amanda''': It's been 65 years. A girl might think you're trying to avoid her.
:'''Duncan''': Now how could you think that? Goodbye, Amanda.
----
:''[She sent him to prison, now he's escaped and has her helpless]''
:'''Zachary Blaine''': Do you know what I missed most... was the feeling of a good, old fashioned Quickening. SShhhh!!
:'''Amanda''': Wait!
:'''Zachary''': No, after what you did to me, you can't come up with a reason good enough.
:'''Amanda''': I can give you ten million reasons, in American dollars.
:'''Zachary''': Funny, you'd think that would be enough. ''(prepares to kill her)''
:'''Amanda''': I can give you the head of Duncan MacLeod!
----
:'''Amanda''': I gave up my life of crime, Duncan.
:'''Duncan''': That's what you said in Constantinople, 250 years ago.
:'''Amanda''': I succumbed to an impulse.
:'''Duncan''': I was nearly flayed alive when they came looking for you.
:'''Amanda''': But you got away. You always do.
----
:'''Tessa''': After all she's done to you, why do you care whether she's happy or not?
:'''Duncan''': I don't know, Tessa. She made me laugh when there weren't too many things to laugh about. Maybe that doesn't seem important, but those are the things I remember of her.
:'''Tessa''': She makes me feel like I have to compete with her. Maybe if I'd been a lady pirate or something....
:'''Duncan''': whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Richie, give us a moment, would you?
:'''Richie''': I was just leaving. ''[He leaves]''
:'''Duncan''': Hey, listen to me young lady, she's no competition. Hmmm?
:''[They kiss]''
----
:'''Zachary''': Why try to save her, MacLeod? She's betrayed you before.
:'''Duncan''': At least I'm smart enough to stay out of jail.
:''[They fight]''
== Season Two ==
*Third narration, read by actor [[w:Jim Byrnes|Jim Byrnes]]:
''He is immortal, born in the Highlands of Scotland four hundred years ago. He is not alone. There are others like him, some good, some evil. For centuries he has battled the forces of Darkness, with Holy Ground his only refuge. He cannot die, unless you take his head and with it, his power. In the end there can be only one. He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander.''
===An Eye For an Eye [2.5]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': She ''(Tessa)'' was part of our lives, Richie. Never pretend she wasn't.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': I don't! I keep waking up every morning...
:'''Duncan''': ...expecting her to be there. Get used to it, it won't be the last time it happens to you.
:'''Richie''': When does this start getting easier?
:'''Duncan''': It doesn't.
----
:'''Richie''': I keep waiting to feel different. Like someone's going to tell me how to be, what to do.
:'''Duncan''': What were you expecting, a set of instructions?
----
:''[Flashback to Ireland, 1920]''
:'''Annie Devlin''': Why don't you stay? It will be a beautiful war.
:'''Duncan''': War is never beautiful, Annie. Leave with me. This will never end.
:'''Annie''': It will when we win. Or when there's no one left alive to fight.
----
:''[Referring to his fight with Annie]''
:'''Richie''': I could have killed her, Mac. I mean, that's what I'm supposed to do, right?
:'''Duncan''': Sometimes.
:'''Richie''': I couldn't do it. I thought I could, but I couldn't. Maybe I'm just not cut out for this.
:'''Duncan''': You're still who you are, Richie. You don't change when you become Immortal, you just live longer. Hopefully.
:'''Richie''': Oh, boy, I'd say I got a lot to learn.
:'''Duncan''': You still have time.
:''[Duncan presents Richie with a sword]''
:'''Duncan''': Take good care of it. Live with it. Make it part of you. Might be the only friend you have.
===The Zone [2.6]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': You know, there's a problem with thinking the strongest can take what they want.
:'''Caanan''': Yeah, what's that?
:'''Duncan''': There's always somebody stronger.
===The Return of Amanda [2.7]===
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': You know, you won't ''let'' me change. You really expect me to steal, don't you?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': I expect sharks to bite, too. Don't take it personally.
----
:'''Amanda''': I really do like you, Duncan. Let's just play house for 70 or 80 years.
----
:'''Duncan''': Who were those guys?
:'''Amanda''': I swear on my mother's grave...
:'''Duncan''': You don't have a mother.
----
:'''Amanda''': Why won't you believe me? I've never seen those guys before in my life.
:'''Duncan''': Funny, they seemed to know you.
----
:''[Amanda wants to know why Duncan is smiling]''
:'''Duncan''': Why can't I just smile? I'm happy, we're safe for now, I've just made love to the most devious, scheming, deceitful... beautiful woman in history.
:'''Amanda''': Do you really think I'm one of the most beautiful women in history?
----
:'''Amanda''': I told you, I'm not a thief any more.
:'''Duncan''': So you turned to counterfeiting instead?
:'''Amanda''': Well, I ran out of money, what else am I supposed to do?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, a job is out of the question.
:'''Amanda''': Would you get serious, MacLeod.
----
:'''Duncan''': Wait, wait, counterfeiting and honesty, they go well together, right?
:'''Amanda''': Don't be so picky, my heart was in the right place.
===Run for your Life [2.09]===
:'''Carl''': Maybe it's just time for old Carl to move on, man.
:'''Duncan''': And do what?
:'''Carl''': Hey, I'll get by. You just take care of yourself.
:'''Duncan''': You still don't get it, do you?! You are an immortal. You have something other people will never have: time, and the ability to make the difference. No, listen to me, man! Listen to me! You can do whatever you want, be whatever you want! You can live the dream. Most people grow old and die before they can do that.
---------
:'''Carter''': Hello, Carl. Nice to see you again.
:'''Carl''': ''[Stands up]'' What do you want?
:'''Carter''': I'm gonna kill you. Forever.
:'''Carl''': Wow, man. I don't even know you. ''[Carter walks closer to him]'' What was this all about? I didn't do nothing.
:'''Carter''': You live.
:'''Ken''': ''[Pointing a gun at Carter]'' Put it down, Carter.
:'''Carter''': Get outta here, kid.
:'''Ken''': Why?
:'''Carter''': Just get the hell outta here!
:'''Ken''': I can't. What's this all about?
:'''Carl''': ''(To Ken)'' He doesn't want any witnesses for the execution.
:'''Carter''': He's wanted for murder.
:'''Ken''': Who's murder? Huh? I checked him at Arizona.
:'''Carter''': You don't know what the hell these people are. ''[Duncan climbing the ladder]''
:'''Ken''': Shut them down.
:'''Carter''': He doesn't deserve to live.
''[Duncan continuing climbing the ladder]''
:'''Ken''': Please. Put it down.
:'''Carter''': You're over your head, Kenny. Trust me, you don't understand what's going on here.
:'''Ken''': I understand enough to know what attempted murder looks like. ''[Duncan climbs slowly to sneak]''
:'''Carter''': What? Are you gonna shoot me, rookie?
:'''Ken''': If I have to?
:'''Carter''': I don't think so. ''[Duncan shoves him and Ken shots him down to death while Carter screaming from the dock to the water]''
===Under Color of Authority [2.12]===
:'''Mako''': I always thought that you were a man that respected the law.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': I like to see justice done.
----
:'''Duncan''': A man can't always live by the law.
:'''Mako''': A man cannot live any other way.
----
:'''Mako''': I have been a lawman for almost 600 years. Even before I was Immortal. I have seen cities burned, I have seen children slaughtered. Law is what separates us from the beast. When we leave it, we leave a hole with no bottom.
----
:'''Laura''': You don't exactly trust me, much, now do you?
:'''Duncan''': I don't know you.
:'''Laura''': So you don't believe me.
:'''Duncan''': No, I believe that you're frightened, and I believe that you're running from something. I'm just not sure what.
----
:'''Duncan''': When you're young and you care about someone, you think with your heart. You don't see clearly.
:'''Laura''': I don't know why you're so worried about Richie. I mean, you act like you're his father or something.
:'''Duncan''': I'm not his father, Laura, but he is like family to me.
----
:'''Mako''': I'm looking for a girl.
:'''Duncan''': Try working on your personality.
----
:'''Duncan''': Richie, where is this going from here? What happens if you are out on the road and a cop recognizes her? What are you going to do, kill him? How far is this going to go, Richie?
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': I don't know, Mac, I don't know! All I know is, I gotta help her, Mac. Mac, she needs me.
===Legacy [2.19]===
:[''John is mortal. Rebecca is not.'']
:'''John''': Promise me something. You will leave me before I get too old.
:'''Rebecca''': You are in a good mood today!
:'''John''': Well, I'm serious. Listen, Rebecca, you deserve a younger man.
:'''Rebecca''': I have a younger man. I have what I want.
:'''John''': There's two things...
:'''Rebecca''': John, you are the love of my life. You're the love of a dozen lifetimes. I don't care if you are 23, or 53, or 103. I am never going to leave you. Ever.
----
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': MacLeod, do you ever wonder what it is like to die?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Every time.
:'''Amanda''': That's not what I meant.
:'''Duncan''': I know, you meant really die. Be gone forever.
:'''Amanda''': So you do think about it.
:'''Duncan''': Not for myself. Not any more. Whatever happens, happens.
:'''Amanda''': I don't know. The longer I live the more I get attached to myself.
:'''Duncan''': Sooner or later everyone dies. Even us.
:'''Amanda''': I don't mind the later, it's the sooner part I don't like.
----
:[''Flashback to 1635'']
:'''Amanda''': Why take a man's head when you can have his gold?
:'''Rebecca''': Amanda!
:'''Amanda''': What? You taught me to be clever.
:'''Rebecca''': I also taught you to be honest.
:'''Amanda''': Ah yes, I forget that part.
----
:'''Amanda''': Hmmmm. Breakfast in bed. You better watch it, MacLeod. They say this is how love starts.
----
:'''Duncan''': Was the crystal really worth Rebecca's life?
:'''Luther''': It's worth any amount of lives.
:'''Duncan''': Whoever has the crystal becomes invincible. Is that it?
:'''Luther''': So you know.
:'''Duncan''': It's a myth, Luther. A story told by bored people around campfires.
----
:'''Amanda''': You stuck your nose in without being asked, the least you could do is say you're sorry.
:'''Duncan''': What, for saving your life?
:'''Amanda''': Oh don't change the subject!
== Season Three ==
===The Samurai [3.1]===
:'''[[w:Charlie DeSalvo|Charlie DeSalvo]]''': You got a visitor.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': But I'm not even here yet.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Walk out that door and you won't know if this is the right place or not.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': I've gotta go to Japan.
:'''Charlie''': Japan?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, you know. Land of the Rising Sun. Hai!
:'''Charlie''': You just got back!
:'''Duncan''': That was Paris. It's a different continent.
:'''Charlie''': Very funny, MacLeod.
:'''Duncan''': I'll give you the air miles.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Charlie''': How long have you been gone?
:'''Duncan''': Six months.
:'''Charlie''': Yeah right, so for six months, everything is quiet. I don't even get a hangnail. And all of a sudden you show up and I'm fighting to save my teeth.
:'''Duncan''': Don't thank me all at once, Charlie.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Sometimes it's not the body you have to protect... it's the spirit.
----
:[''Flashback to Japan, 1778'']
:'''Duncan''': But there must be some other way! We can get a boat and leave Japan...
:'''Hideo Koto''': I could no more run than I could fly. Koto is a noble Samurai name... a name I have been honored to borrow. To dishonor it for all who follow me would be unthinkable.
===Line of Fire [3.2]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Let me know when you've found the formula.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': The formula?
:'''Duncan''': For getting in shape without training.
<hr width="50%"/>
''[Richie believes he has a son]''
:'''Duncan''': Immortals can't have children.
:'''Richie''': Exactly Mac, this happened before I became an immortal.
:'''Duncan''': That's not the way it works.
:'''Richie''': Maybe I'm the first.
:'''Duncan''': I wish it could happen. But it's not in the cards. We don't get to live happily ever after. Children aren't part of our lives...it can't happen.
:'''Richie''': It just did.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Father Matthew''': Ah, Paris... The city of my youth. I was there in '72. What a summer. ''[remembering]'' All those women, all that wine... Of course, that was before I entered the priesthood.
:'''Duncan''' and '''Richie''': Of course.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Richie''': I didn't know if I'd find you alive. What the hell happened?
:'''Duncan''': I lived.
:'''Richie''': Very funny. And the other guy?
:'''Duncan''': He lived too.
<hr width="50%"/>
''[In Joe's bar]''
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': Hey MacLeod, what do you think? Is it me?
:'''Duncan''': The truth? I'd say it's a little out of character.
:'''Joe''': You know, I wasn't born in a museum. In fact, I'm kinda tired of hanging around old antiques like you. Look at me, I'm growing old.
<hr width="50%"/>
''[Richie enters the dojo covered with grunge and tomatoes]''

:'''Duncan''': Pardon?
:'''Anne''': Forget it. Get out, go!

:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Joe, I want you to meet Amanda. Amanda... Joe Dawson.
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''' The Amanda..? You know, I've heard an awful lot about you.
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': I'll bet you have. I hear you're one of those guys who likes to watch.
:'''Joe''': It's clinical. For history. We don't get involved.
:'''Amanda''': Well, tell me... Do you watch us do... everything?
:'''Joe''': Only the things I can't get arrested for.
:'''Amanda''': ''[to MacLeod]'' I like this guy.
<hr width="50%"/>

<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': I need you to help me break into the museum.
:'''Amanda''': You want me to WHAT?! I knew you were up to something. For three hundred years you've been telling me to go legit. Now that I'm straight, you want me to steal.
:'''Duncan''': You hate your job.
:'''Amanda''': That's not the point.
:'''Duncan''': In a good cause.
:'''Amanda''': Don't you look at me like that. No, I'm retired. You wouldn't ask an alcoholic to take a drink for a good cause.

''[Joe's taking a revolver from a drawer]''
:'''Duncan''': You can't kill him with that, Joe.

<hr width="50%"/>
[''Joe's bar, Dawson is up on the stage, singing the blues. Duncan and Amanda stand in the shadows, watching and listening'']
:'''Amanda''': Did you know he could do that?
:'''Duncan''': No. [''with irony''] You know, It's funny. The man knows more about me than anyone else alive, yet I hardly know anything about him..
:'''Amanda''': God, to sing like that...he must have had a helluva life.
:'''Duncan''': Probably...
:'''Amanda''': You want to ask him about it?
:'''Duncan''': No... when he's ready, he'll tell me.
===Rite of Passage [3.5]===
:'''Michelle Webster''': Whoa, hold up, time out! That was the morgue. I was in the morgue!
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Keep your voice down.
:'''Michelle''': Why?
:'''Duncan''': Because we are sneaking out of here!
:'''Michelle''': No, I mean, why was I in there?
:'''Duncan''': Don't worry, you're not dead.
:'''Michelle''': Oh, gee, thanks. That explains it.
----
:'''Michelle''': You mean I'm never going to turn nineteen?
:'''Duncan''': But you might get to see a thousand.
----
:'''Michelle''': You do know I've always had a thing for you. Since the first time I laid eyes on you.
:'''Duncan''': You were eleven years old!
:'''Michelle''': I matured early.
----
:'''Michelle''': Oh, so is that what you guys do? Run around chopping each other's heads off?
:'''Duncan''': Until there's only one of us left alive.
:'''Michelle''': I don't think so.
:'''Duncan''': Michelle, I'm not your father and this isn't a fairy tale! Now you either learn the Game, or you die.
----
:'''Michelle''': You know, Duncan, you really have a gift for taking the fun out of eternal life.
:'''Duncan''': It'll get better.
:'''Michelle''': I sure hope so.
:'''Duncan''': No, I mean your... outlook.
:'''Michelle''': Oops. Almost slipped. You were gonna say "attitude".
:'''Michelle''': You know what, Duncan? That is "Dad speak". And you're pretty lousy at that too.
===Obsession [3.8]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': This doesn't make any sense, Richie, he's supposed to be getting married.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': Not unless it's a shotgun wedding. I'm telling you, Mac, she didn't want anything to do with him.
----
:'''Richie''': Mac, you don't understand, one minute the guy was there, and the next, boom, he's trying to take my head. And he wasn't kidding around. I mean, that girl came in, and he just freaked. He totally lost it. Now what the hell is this all about?
----
:'''Jill''': We were happy. Everything seemed so perfect. Then one day I came home and he said "Honey, come here, I have something to show you." And then he took a knife, and he .... ''[she can't say it]''
:'''Duncan''': Then he healed.
:'''Jill''': He said I had to know... and I wish he'd never told me.
:'''Duncan''': He loves you. He had to tell you.
:'''Jill''': Mr. MacLeod, I have a picture of how I want my life to be. Kids, grandkids... a family. It may sound stupid, but it's what I see.
:'''Richie''': So you called it off.
:'''Jill''': But he won't let me. And he won't leave me alone. He nearly beat a guy to death just for talking to me.
----
:'''[[w:Anne Lindsey|Anne Lindsey]]''': This is ridiculous. I'm calling the police.
:'''Duncan''': Anne, don't.
:'''Anne''': It is the only way, Duncan. You think talking is going to stop this guy? If you think that, spend a Saturday night in the emergency ward with me. These guys do not stop until someone's dead.
===Methos [3.16] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Joe? What's up?
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': You've got trouble.
:'''Duncan''': How come you never call with good news?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Come on, Joe. Methos doesn't exist.He's a legend... like Adam and Eve. The oldest Immortal.
:'''Joe''': Oh, he exists all right.
:'''Duncan''': Are you telling me you've seen him?
:'''Joe''': Me? No. He's an elusive guy. Have to be, to live as long as he has. An Immortal so old he doesn't remember the time of his birth.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Five thousand years.
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Yeah, give or take. And that was when I took my first head. Before that, it all starts to blur.
:'''Duncan''': I guess it would. So, after all this time, have You... ?
:'''Methos''': Made any sense of it all? Found any purpose?
:'''Duncan''': You read minds, too?
:'''Methos''': No. It's what I'd ask if I'd just met me.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Somehow I thought you'd be...
:'''Methos''': Deeper? Wiser? Bearded?
:'''Duncan''': I didn't really think you existed.
:'''Methos''': Ah, it's good to be a myth.
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, no one hunts for a myth. Or a Watcher.
:'''Methos''': What better place to hide? I'm in charge of finding myself...and I make sure it never happens.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': You think I'd still be around if I was an easy mark?
:'''Duncan''': When was the last time you faced anyone?
:'''Methos''': What are we? [''checking his watch''] Sixth of March, uh, two hundred years. Hey, I may be a bit rusty but I'm still here.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': You think I wanna die? Do you think it's easy after thousands of years?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': So after five thousand years, your only solution is that I kill you?
:'''Methos''': He can beat me. He might beat you. He can't beat both of US.
:'''Duncan''': If it's that simple, why don't you take my head?
:'''Methos''': 'Cause it's not just a matter of who is the best fighter. It is about passion and hate. I don't have the fire. You do. You want Kalas.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': Live, Highlander. Grow stronger...fight another day.
===Take Back The Night [3.17]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': You've killed two already. How much is enough?
:'''Ceirdwyn''': There were five of them.
:'''Duncan''': This isn't the answer.
:'''Ceirdwyn''': A body for a body. A head for a head. Since the dawn of time. It's no different now.
:'''Duncan''': Revenge does nothing, Ceirdwyn... nothing.
----
:[''Speaking to her husband's grave'']
:'''Ceirdwyn''': I did what I had to do... But you'd think, after all this time, I would have learned... Death is always death. And when someone's gone, nothing can bring them back. Not pain, not rage... not revenge.
----
:[''About her dead (mortal) husband'']
:'''Duncan''': You going to be OK?
:'''Ceirdywn''': No, not for a long time... I'm not going to forget him, you know? But it was worth it. For the fifteen years we had together, I'll trade fifteen years of pain. I'd trade a hundred!
:'''Duncan''': But what about the price they pay? No family, living in secrecy... waiting for the night you go out and you never come back. Maybe we're not supposed to be with them.
:'''Ceirdwyn''': They're not children, MacLeod. They make their own decisions. Steven knew what I was, and he chose to be with me.
===Testimony [3.18]===
:''[Anne examines a Scottish broadsword]''
:'''[[w:Anne Lindsey|Anne Lindsey]]''': You fought the battle of Culloden with this? That was in 1746.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': I know, it's hard to accept. I thought coming here might help. That was a gift from Bonnie Prince Charlie. I claimed it after he died.
----
:'''Anne''': It's like a fairy tale, with swords and people living forever.
:'''Duncan''': Not always.
:'''Anne''': That's right, the heads. Do you really have to do that?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah.
----
:'''Anne''': Duncan, I've seen death. And I'm not afraid of it. Whatever happens, I want us to be together.
:'''Duncan''': Your whole life will never be the same.
:'''Anne''': My whole life has not been the same since the day I met you. I tried it with you. I've tried it without you. I'll take it with you any day.
----
:'''Kristov''': I'll kill you in a second, boy. Leave while you've still got your head.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': There's only one thing I hate more than being called a "boy". And that's your stupid paintings.
:''[They fight]''
----
:'''Richie''': I'd kiss you, but people might talk.
:'''Duncan''': They might.
----
:'''Anne''': So, is this the way it's always going to be?
:'''Duncan''': I don't know. I can't see into the future. Can you live with it?
:'''Anne''': I don't know. But I'd really like to try.
===Finale, Part One [3.21] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Amanda?
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': Gotta hand it to you, MacLeod...You've got a memory like an elephant.
:'''Duncan''': Amanda, what are you doing here? Besides making a fashion statement.
:'''Amanda''': You like it?... I'm making you dinner...
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Come on, Amanda, give. What do you really want?
:'''Amanda''': Just to make you happy.
:'''Duncan''': Why?
:'''Amanda''': So you won't kill me when I tell you what happened.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': What the hell are you doing here?
:'''Amanda''': Came to hear some jazz.
:'''Duncan''': Jazz.
:'''Amanda''': You know, American music. Miles, Coltrane, Wynton...[''off his look''] Alright, I was looking for you. [''his look doesn't change''] Alright, I was looking for Kalas! You know you can really be irritating sometimes?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': That went well. What the hell were you thinking of?
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': I wasn't thinking, I was improvising.
:'''Joe''': By cutting yourself open? And it took you five thousand years to figure that out.
:'''Methos''': You're disappointed in me, aren't you? Gimme a break. What were you expecting? Einstein? Freud? Buddha?
:'''Joe''': Forget it.
:'''Methos''': Sorry, Joe. I'm just a guy.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Amanda''': It's morning. I'm tired. It's hopeless. We'll never find him. Our only lead back to Kalas and you had to kill him.
:'''Duncan''': I told you, I didn't kill him. He fell.
:'''Amanda''': On his gun?
:'''Duncan''': Yes!
:'''Amanda''': And it went off just like that.
:'''Duncan''': Just like that.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': Well. Life as we know it is over.
===Finale, Part Two [3.22] ===
[''Looking down from the Eiffel Tower'']
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': Remember when Gustave Eiffel built this thing?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': World's Fair, 1889. Half the people thought it would ruin Paris forever. There were fist-fights all along the Champs Elysees.
:'''Amanda''': Now you can't imagine Paris without it.
<hr width="50%"/>
[''About going to see the editor of the Tribune'']
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': I've got a lot to offer. Five thousand years of history, Joe...I was there.
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': History's been written. People have been known to kill the messenger who waltzes in with a new version of the truth.
:'''Methos''': Why would I tell the truth?
<hr width="50%"/>
[''On the outer railing of the Eiffel Tower'']
:'''Amanda''': C'mon, MacLeod... Haven't you ever wanted to do something really crazy?
:'''Duncan''': Amanda, be careful. We don't fly.
:'''Amanda''': Have you ever tried? Relax. Whatever happens, I'll survive.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Antonius Kalas|Kalas]]''': MacLeod. It seems you're always a day late and a dollar short.
<hr width="50%"/>
[''After Macleod lets Kalas go'']
:'''Amanda''': You should have killed him. You had him... I can't believe you let him go!
:'''Duncan''': It's not that simple, Amanda...
:'''Amanda''': I'll tell you what's simple. Dead is simple.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': I was in Rome once. 93 A.D., the Coliseum... I saw Christians facing the lions. Some of them looked almost happy to die for their faith.
:'''Duncan''': Your point? Or are you just strolling down Memory Lane here?
:'''Methos''': But afterwards, the only ones looking happy were the lions
:'''Duncan''': This isn't about faith.
:'''Methos''': No, it's about sacrifice. It's a helluva thing to be a martyr, MacLeod... And that's exactly what Kalas wants. He's pushing all your buttons.
:'''Duncan''': Well, I'm open to suggestions. Enlighten me.
:'''Methos''': Maybe Amanda's right. You fight your best fight.
:'''Duncan''': ''[sarcastic]'' What? Every man for himself and to hell with the rest?
:'''Methos''': So what if the world finds out? Life's about change. Civilizations rise and fall.
:'''Duncan''': This isn't about civilization, this is about people! Amanda, Dawson, Richie... Our world isn't an ant farm.
:'''Methos''': ''[with a touch of admiration and humor]'' The passion of youth.
:'''Duncan''': ''[with a sense of humor]'' Boys will be boys.
:'''Methos''': And every cloud has a silver lining.
:'''Duncan''': What do you mean?
:'''Methos''': If you die, Amanda will be free to date.
:'''Duncan''': That's a comfort.
== Season Four ==
*Fourth and final version of the narration (also by Jim Byrnes):
''He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander. Born in 1592 in the Highlands of Scotland and he is still alive. He is immortal. For four hundred years he's been a warrior, a lover, a wanderer, constantly facing other Immortals in a combat to the death. The winner takes his enemy's head and with it, his power. I'm a Watcher, part of the secret society of men and women who observe and record, but never interfere. We know the truth about Immortals. In the end there can be only one. May it be Duncan MacLeod, The Highlander.''
===Homeland [4.1] ===
:''[At his parents' graves]''
:'''Rachel MacLeod''': I'm Rachel MacLeod, and those are my ancestors you're standing on.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Well, mine too, I'm Duncan MacLeod.
:'''Rachel''': Another one. Let me guess, you're here to find you Highland roots.
:'''Duncan''': I didn't know I'd lost them.
----
:'''Rachel''': Och, if it isn't the clansman. What can I get you? Haggis? Maybe a kilt?
:'''Duncan''': An ale would do just fine. Are the people of Glenfinnan always this friendly?
:'''Rachel''': We're friendly enough, just careful of strangers.
:'''Duncan''': Really. And since when is a MacLeod a stranger in Glenfinnan?
----
:'''Duncan''': All this for an ax?!
:'''Kanwulf''': An ax? An ax made by the Gods, MacLeod. Used by Loki and Thor themselves.
:'''Duncan''': You can't still believe that.
:'''Kanwulf''': As much as they believe in their pale Christ.
----
:''[At night. Duncan takes his father's sword down from the wall]''
:'''Rachel''': He came back from the dead, claimed his father's sword, killed the Viking, and stopped the slaughter.
:'''Duncan''': That's the legend, Rachel.
:'''Rachel''': The bracelet. Now this. If I asked you to explain, would it make any sense?
:''[Duncan is silent]''
:'''Rachel''': Duncan MacLeod.... maybe some legends are true.
:'''Duncan''': Maybe.
----
:''[Rachel is waiting when he returns the sword]''
:'''Duncan''': It's over.
:'''Rachel''': I knew you'd be back. The legend. That seems to belong in your hand.
:'''Duncan''': No, it belongs in Glenfinnan. This is it's home.
:''[She kisses him]''
:'''Rachel''': Your's too, Duncan MacLeod.
===Reunion [4.6] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Anne, you all right?
:'''[[w:Anne Lindsey|Anne Lindsey]]''': Yeah, I'm fine.
:'''Duncan''': Is the baby OK?
:'''Anne''': Yeah, the baby's... learning to tap-dance I think.
:'''Duncan''': Somebody told me that there was an emergency.
:'''Anne''': Well, yeah, it's your cousin. ''(Duncan looks blank)'' The one from Wisconsin.
:'''Duncan''': Kenny's here?
:'''Anne''': Yeah, he's in the chapel. I was gonna call security, but I thought, what am I gonna tell them, I've got this kid who could live forever but he's only safe in churches?
----
:''[Duncan walks through a minefield]''
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': When you think of me, when you, you know, if you ever had to describe me to someone else, would you think of me as a nurturing person?
:'''Duncan''': ''(long pause)'' Definitely. Is that it?
:'''Amanda''': No! I want you to be honest, OK?
:'''Duncan''': How honest?
:'''Amanda''': Honest. I mean, tell me the truth, don't think about hurting my feelings.
:'''Duncan''': OK, then, no. Nurturing is not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of you.
:'''Amanda''': Oh, I don't think you know me very well.
:'''Duncan''': Amanda, you're beautiful, you're smart, and you're a lot of fun. Nurturing's in there... it's just not high on the list.
:'''Amanda''': Well, do you think that I would have made a good mother?
:'''Duncan''': Absolutely.
:'''Amanda''': Really? I mean, because I could take it if you don't think that, you know, I have it in me.
:'''Duncan''': You would have made a wonderful mother.
:'''Amanda''': Really?
----
:''[Amanda touches Anne's belly]''
:'''Amanda''': Wow... so what's it like?
:'''Anne''': Oh, like all the cliches. Carrying a watermelon, walking like a duck. And this is the easy part. The tough part comes when she gets here.
:'''Amanda''': Are you scared?
:'''Anne''': Terrified. You know, I'm a single mother, I work crazy shifts and weird hours. She's gonna need me, and the ER's gonna need me, and I haven't figured out how I'm going to make it all work yet.
:'''Amanda''': You know what? I think your going to do great.
===Chivalry [4.10] ===
:''[Flashback to 1659]''
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Hey, you, in the coach, you carry a sword, why don't you use it?
:'''Kristin Gilles''': I could use it now, but then I could not do this. ''(Kisses Duncan)''
----
:'''Duncan''': Immortality definitely has an upside. Think about it, in 400 years you might be racing starships instead of Harleys.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': You think things are going to change that much?
:'''Duncan''': Well, Richie, when I was a kid, the fastest way to travel was by horse, and if you wanted to fly, you had to be a bird.
----
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': MacLeod-san, that katana is a lovely piece of art. May I? I washed my hands this morning.
:''[MacLeod hands it over]''
:'''Methos''': Ahhh! Quite a blade.
:''[Methos puts blade to Duncan's neck]''
:'''Duncan''': Not funny, Methos.
:'''Methos''': Not meant to be. Not only are you naive, now you are weaponless. How have you lived this long? Do you know how many Immortals she's killed? Want a list?
:'''Duncan''': All right, you've made your point.
:'''Methos''': Have I? One day she is going to kill you.
:'''Duncan''': She's tried already.
:'''Methos''': You're better with a blade than her, yes. You are stronger than her, yes. But if you keep letting her walk away, one day she gets lucky, and takes your head. Yes!
:'''Duncan''': Oh, I don't know, maybe she'll start to gloat like you.
:''[Duncan knocks Methos down and escapes]''
:'''Duncan''': You wanna play?
:'''Methos''': Great, you knock me on my bum because I make a bad joke. Very macho. But you keep letting her walk away, without even taking a shot, that is very suicidal.
:'''Duncan''': You know what she was to me.
:'''Methos''': Yes, and I know what she is. A killer. You treat her like one.
----
:'''Methos''': A couple of medieval songwriters come up with the idea of chivalry one rainy day...
:'''Duncan''': This isn't about chivalry!
:'''Methos''': ...and you embrace it as a lifestyle. You live and die by a code of honor that was trendy when you were a kid.
:'''Duncan''': Would you rather that I had no code of honor at all?
:'''Methos''': I would rather you survived. You put that first.
----
:''[Duncan disarms Kristin but cannot kill her]''
:'''Methos''': Pick it up.
:'''Kristin''': Who the hell are you?
:'''Methos''': A man who was born long before the age of chivalry. Pick it up.
:''[They fight]''
===Timeless [4.11] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': You really are a spoiled brat.
:'''Claudia Jardine''': I was a spoiled brat when we first met, but now... I'm a genius.
:'''Duncan''': Silly me, I forgot. ''(hands her a glass)'' Here. It's not poisoned, although I'm tempted.
:'''Claudia''': You know, just because you think you own me doesn't mean you can tell me how to live my life.
:'''Duncan''': I don't think I own you.
:'''Claudia''': Oh yes you do. If you hadn't paid for Juilliard, the Paris Conservatory, I would probably be stuck in some crummy lounge in Las Vegas doing my one millionth rendition of Proud Mary.
:'''Duncan''': Is this a thank you I'm hearing?
:'''Claudia''': I thank you by being brilliant.
:'''Duncan''': She said modestly.
----
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Excuse me, if I sat at a table, would you be my waitress?
:'''Alexa Bond''': ''(to Joe)'' Is he a good tipper?
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe Dawson]]''': No.
:'''Alexa''': Well. Too bad. Makes up for it in cute, though.
:'''Methos''': Cute. I can do cute.
----
:'''Methos''': I'm, uh, Adam Pierson.
:'''Alexa''': Where are you from?
:'''Methos''': Umm...
:'''Alexa''': Your accent. Your not from here.
:'''Methos''': No, I've traveled a lot.
:'''Alexa''': Really?!?! Paris?
:'''Methos''': Paris is too full of Parisians. Even the French don't like Paris.
:'''Alexa''': Venice?
:'''Methos''': Venice, the smell alone would kill you.
:'''Alexa''': A little young to be so cynical, aren't you?
:'''Methos''': Well, if you say so.
:'''Alexa''': I just did. ''(leaves)''
:'''Methos''': What did I say?
:'''Joe''': Ah, forget it, Alexa's not your type, OK?
----
:''[Discussing Claudia]''
:'''Methos''': How long have you known her?
:'''Duncan''': Since she was 14. She was living with a foster family. Pretty poor, and intimidated that they had a prodigy in their midst.
:'''Methos''': And does she know...
:'''Duncan''': That she's one of us? Doesn't have a clue.
----
:''[Walter has been trying to kill her]''
:'''Duncan''': You're completely insane!
:'''Walter''': It makes so much sense, MacLeod! Don't read something diabolical into it.
:'''Duncan''': Immortality is not a game of tag. You can't say "you're it!" or "you're it!". It's not for us to decide when a mortal life is over.
:'''Walter''': But I must. If she doesn't die, now, at the pinnacle of her genius, it could be lost forever.
:'''Duncan''': You don't know that!
:'''Walter''': Ooh, Shakespeare. I found my purpose, MacLeod. Imagine, Claudia Jardine's talent living on through the ages... under my loving guidance.
:'''Duncan''': Walter, get a life!
:'''Walter''': Don't you see, she'll thank me. She will always be young, and beautiful, and passionate...
:'''Duncan''': ...and what happens when her fans see that she's not getting any older?
----
:'''Alexa''': Well... either you like to drink or you're crazy about the blues.
:'''Methos''': No, I was waiting for you... I see I leave you speechless, this is an excellent start.
:'''Alexa''': A start to what?
:'''Methos''': To... Dinner, a film, a concert, a smile, a sunset, a walk, all of the above, whatever you would like...
:'''Alexa''': Do women really fall for that line?
:'''Methos''': I have no idea, I've never used it before.
:'''Alexa''': .... Why do you want to go out with me?
:'''Methos''': Because the alternative is unthinkable.
----
:'''Alexa''': I'm dying. You see, don't you? We can't go out tomorrow.
:'''Methos''': Absolutely. We'd better make it tonight.
----
:'''Methos''': Where's Alexa? We have a date.
:'''Joe''': She called in sick.
:'''Methos''': Where does she live?
:'''Joe''': Adam, she doesn't want to see you, OK? Just leave her alone.
:'''Methos''': Joe, I didn't ask for your opinion. I know she's dying, OK. You are all dying. 20 years, 6 months, what's the difference?
:'''Joe''': She's protecting herself. She's protecting you, don't you get it?
:'''Methos''': Yes, I get it! Now tell me where she lives.
===Methuselah's Gift [4.16] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Amanda, you've lived for over a thousand years, how many times have you seen real magic?
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': MacLeod, I was an illiterate thief starving on the street before Rebecca found me and made me her student. This is all I have left of her. Magic or not, no-one's gonna take this from me!
----
:'''Duncan''': There is no way Methos sent those men, not a chance!
:'''Amanda''': Why not? It's perfect. It's wily, it's devious, it's... just like him.
----
:'''Duncan''': Why are you doing this? You've lived this long without it, why do you need it now?
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Alexa... she's in hospital in Geneva, she doesn't have long.
:'''Duncan''': You knew it had to be this way.
:'''Methos''': Yeah, from the first moment I saw her. Is, is that supposed to make it easier? Is that supposed to make it OK?
----
:'''Methos''': You understand nothing. Three weeks ago, we were standing on a beach on Santorini, watching the sun rise on the Mediterranean. Now she is lying in a hospital in Switzerland breathing through a tube! ... You think it takes courage to do what we do? Face another Immortal with a sword, knowing only one of you will live? You try being her! You try living one year, knowing that your time is running out. Knowing that when it comes to the final fight, however much you train, whatever tricks you have, you still lose! That's the way it is for them. So little time for them to see anything or do anything.
----
:'''Methos''': My flight back to Geneva leaves at 10. She'll never know how close I came.
:'''Duncan''': She'll know how much you love her.
:'''Methos''': As much as I can for as long as she lives.
===The Immortal Cimoli [4.17] ===
:''[At the circus]''
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': How can you not be excited, MacLeod? Just the smell of sawdust, popcorn and cotton candy. This makes me feel like a kid! Oh, isn't it exciting! I mean the sights, the sounds, the carnies!
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': The wonderful smell of wet fur. Low pay, rotten hours, sleeping in trucks.
----
:'''Danny Cimoli''': Sorry, no more autographs, I've got a monster headache.
:'''Duncan''': I don't want an autograph, and that's not a headache. We need to talk about who you are.
:'''Danny''': ''(laughs)'' Like the poster says, I'm The Immortal Cimoli!
:'''Duncan''': Ah, the Immortal Cimoli!
:'''Amanda''': He's got that part figured out.
:'''Duncan''': Listen to me. That headache that you got, all of us get it. It's how we know another one of us is around.
:'''Danny''': Ah... look, Mister, I don't know what you're talking about...
:'''Duncan''': ... you died recently, a robbery or an accident or something? But you didn't stay dead, did you?
:'''Danny''': How did you know?
:'''Duncan''': Because it happened to me. Four hundred years ago.
:'''Amanda''': We should talk.
----
:'''Danny''': Ever since the truck hit me, I've thought, this can't last, one day it's going to end, bang, I won't get up. But if it lasts forever, I can do any trick. Anything, and I wont die! I'll be bigger than Houdini.
:'''Duncan''': Sit down. Sit down! This isn't some trick for some magic act!
----
:''[They are in bed together]''
:'''Amanda''': MacLeod, you awake? What are you thinking about?
:'''Duncan''': Umm, Danny.
:'''Amanda''': Must be losing my touch.
:'''Duncan''': No, you're not losing your touch!
:''[They snuggle]''
:'''Duncan''': What are you thinking about?
:'''Amanda''': Moscow.
:'''Duncan''': I must be losing my touch.
----
:'''Danny''': The hell with the Rules, and the hell with the Game. I want out.
:'''Amanda''': Sorry, Danny, but that's not an option.
----
:'''Duncan''': Houdini was a friend of mine, and you, Danny, are no Houdini.
===Till Death [4.20] ===
:''[Flashback to 1696]''
:'''Robert''': Well, well, well, what have we here, mice in the parlor. And Immortal mice at that.
:'''[[w:Hugh Fitzcairn|Hugh Fitzcairn]]''': I told you there was another way in. Didn't I tell you?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Be quiet! I'd be careful who I called a mouse, especially if I was a rat.
:'''Robert''': ''(gazing at Gina)'' If you're a thief, I've never seen a comlier one.
:'''Duncan''': You're the thief, we're just protecting her assets.
:'''Robert''': And they are wonderful assets.
:'''Fitzcairn''': If you please sir! A gentleman does not address a lady in that manner! I'll have his head!
:'''Duncan''': Ah, don't be ridiculous. You being dead would probably put her off her appetite.
----
:''[Flashback to 1696]''
:'''Fitzcairn''': La-la, la-la-la-la-la!
:'''Duncan''': You know, when I heard that voice I said to myself, "That must be Fitzcairn - either that or a dog in heat."
----
:''[At Robert and Gina's wedding (1696)]''
:'''Fitzcairn''': You realize, none of this would have happened if she had come to the opera with me that night.
:'''Duncan''': No, she would have seen you for the raving lunatic you are and she would have been with me.
:'''Fitzcairn''': I should have asked her to marry me while I still had the chance.
:'''Duncan''': You, married? You couldn't stay faithful to a woman for what, more than one hour?
:'''Fitzcairn''': Well I would have given it a fair try.
----
:'''Gina''': Maybe we are not meant to spend three centuries together. I mean, who mates for life? Swans? Geese? Lobster?
----
:'''Duncan''': Don't you want to see Robert and Gina live happily ever after?
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Yeah, but I want to see me live happily ever after even more.
----
:'''Methos''': I knew it, I knew it! Getting between a married couple. It's a rule I haven't broken for two thousand years. I knew this would happen.
:'''Duncan''': She'll cool off, I'm just telling you to be careful, that's all.
:'''Methos''': Great, so I lose my head after five thousand years so that you can play marriage guidance counselor. I must have been out of my mind!
== Season Five ==
===Prophecy [5.1] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': Honey, I'm home.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': So how did you find me? Witchcraft?
:'''[[w:Cassandra (Highlander)|Cassandra ]]''': Why bother? It's the twentieth century. I used a detective agency.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Like you said, this is the twentieth century. I left prophecies behind with the witches and the fairies.
:'''Cassandra ''': Duncan, listen to me. The prophecy tells of a Highland foundling born on the winter solstice who passes through darkness into light and survives to challenge the voice of death.
:'''Duncan''': Really? Is this before or after I slay the dragon?
<hr width="50%"/>
''[Roland Kantos arrives, points his sword at Duncan]''
:'''Duncan''': I guess he doesn't like me.
:'''Cassandra ''': We've got to leave, now! ''[Duncan starts walking towards Roland]'' What are you doing?
:'''Duncan''': I guess asking him to dance is out of the question.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Roland''': The signs for the prophecy are all in place. You're all that stands in my way. Or don't you believe in signs?
:'''Duncan''': Oh no I believe in signs. Don't litter, don't step on the grass, no spitting.
:'''Roland''': I prefer rest in peace.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Power or no power, this is holy ground, he can't harm us here.
:'''Cassandra ''': And none of us can avoid our fate. "An evil one will come to vanquish all before him. Only a Highland child, born on the winter solstice, who has seen both darkness and light, can stop him. A child and a man."
:'''Duncan''': We make our own destinies. Nothing is written.
===The End of Innocence [5.2] ===
''[To Joe]''
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': I'm an Immortal, you're a Watcher. We can't cross that line. How many times do we have to be taught that?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': That's the way it is, isn't it? -- get them before they get you. I've been practicing. Next time you pull a sword on me, it won't be so easy.
:'''Duncan''': Richie, I'd like to take back what happened, but I can't. But what you're doing is wrong and you know that, don't you?
:'''Richie''': Thanks for the tip.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': I know who I am. I've been a Watcher for more than twenty-five years. It's as much a part of me as your clan MacLeod is to you.
:'''Duncan''': Then for once, keep your vow. Don't interfere.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': What good is philosophy in a fight?
:'''Graham Ashe''': We fight to stay alive -- don't forget to live. Imagine what you can see in a thousand years. Imagine what you can do. It's all there for us, Duncan, because we are blessed. Blessed beyond reason with the gift of eternal life. And every year brings something new -- a new vintage, a new fighting move... or a new pattern of flowers on an Italian hillside. Open your eyes and see it. Cherish it
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Richie''': Look Mac, if the bail comes with a lecture I'd just as soon wait it out in a cell.
:'''Duncan''': The guy who's after you. Haresh Clay.
:'''Richie''': What about him?
:'''Duncan''': I've met him once before.
:'''Richie''': Then how come you're both still alive?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': You're out of the Watchers?
:'''Joe''': Maybe it's too late... or maybe it's about time. Like Mrs. Wischnoff used to say in my old neighbourhood -- Meit ein tuchas can Meir nisht danzen a tsvai hossannas.
:'''Duncan''': Yeah - With one ass, a man can't dance at two weddings.
:'''Joe''': You know you were right. I couldn't be both your Watcher and your friend.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': For thousands of years Immortals have fought and Watchers have observed. One day, there will only be one of us left. And some day maybe none at all. Somebody has to record that we've lived. Somebody has to record the history we've seen and the lessons we've learned.
===Manhunt [5.3] ===
:'''Detective Frayne''': You're the serial killer guy?
:'''Matthew McCormick''': Among other things. The "serial killer guy" will do.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Matthew McCormick''': ''[referring to a slinky]'' You know what I like about these? If you had enough stairs, they'd just go on forever.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': Unless they're stopped.
:'''Matthew McCormick''': Kinda like us.
:'''Duncan''': No, just like us.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Carl Robinson (Highlander)|Carl]]''': It's freezin' in there.
:'''Duncan''': Well yeah, It's the morgue. At least you're still fresh.
:'''Carl''': You know, you're real funny, MacLeod. Hey, who picked out these clothes anyway? Your mother?
:'''Duncan''': ''[to Matthew]'' You should have killed him.
===The Valkyrie [5.10] ===
:'''Inspector Breslaw''': Are you a writer of fiction, Mr. MacLeod? ''(No)'' ... That's a shame. Possessed of such an imagination, it seems a shame to squander your talents on my humble self.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': If I could help you, Inspector, I would.
:'''Breslaw''': Would you? Let's review, shall we? You just happen to be here when they are setting up for the Wilkinson speech.
:'''Duncan''': No, I was here the day before for a boxing match, and I was...
:'''Breslaw''': ...A woman you have never seen before has a gun. You take the gun away from her. Then she screams you have a gun, and runs away leaving you holding the weapon. Do I understand correctly so far?
:'''Duncan''': I know how it sounds...
----
:'''Duncan''': So what Breslaw was saying about the murders was true?
:'''Ingrid''': They weren't murders. They were assassinations. There's a difference.
:'''Duncan''': The end result is the same.
:'''Ingrid''': Yes, but some people deserve to die. That's the difference.
----
:'''Duncan''': You mind telling me what you find funny about this?
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Not exactly funny, but pretty entertaining, yeah.
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe Dawson]]''': Just what is so entertaining?
:'''Methos''': MacLeod tussling with another of his moral dilemmas.
:'''Duncan''': You know there are times I really don't like you.
:'''Methos''': That's OK, sometimes I don't like myself.
:'''Joe''': I see. Ingrid Henning.
:'''Methos''': Hey, ask Joe about her.
:'''Duncan''': I don't have to ask Joe about her. I know about her. She failed to kill Hitler in '44 and she's been making up for it ever since.
----
:'''Methos''': It is the ultimate in arrogance to think that one person can alter the course of history.
:'''Duncan''': You can't deny that by killing Hitler in '44, thousands of lives would have been saved, maybe millions.
:'''Methos''': Yeah, and if you'd killed him in '43 like Rommel wanted, maybe Germany would have won the war. ... History makes men, MacLeod, men don't make history.
----
:'''Breslaw''': What is she to you? A lover? A relation, perhaps? Or just an old friend? Old friends are the worst. They claim more of your soul.
:'''Duncan''': I don't agree with what Ingrid's done.
:'''Breslaw''': But part of you understands it, yes?
----
:'''Breslaw''': Your lawyer is here, and since I'm not going to charge you, goodbye.
:'''Duncan''': My lawyer? This I've got to see.
:'''Methos''': Officers... Well, that worked pretty well.
:'''Duncan''': Since when are you my attorney?
:'''Methos''': Whatever you need. Lawyer, doctor, Indian chief, I've got paperwork to cover it all.
----
:''[He shot Ingrid. They are getting drunk.]''
:'''Breslaw''': Never gets any easier ... the killing I mean.
:'''Duncan''': Maybe it's not supposed to.
:'''Breslaw''': Maybe if I die a little tonight ... it will even things out between me and God.
:'''Duncan''': I hear Wilkinson's speech is back on for tomorrow night.
:'''Breslaw''': This time he is on his own. When I was a little boy everything was black and white, good and evil, you see. Then I grew up and discovered that there was only gray. I'm sorry I had to kill your friend.
:'''Duncan''': The Ingrid I knew I'll never forget. But the one you killed, I don't even know who she was. You did what you had to do.
:'''Breslaw''': But was I right? If this fascist scum Wilkinson becomes your President in the next 5 or 10 years, how am I going to sleep at night?
:'''Duncan''': I would have made the same choice.
----
:'''Duncan''': Ingrid asked me something before she died.
:'''Methos''': They usually do.
:'''Duncan''': She said, what was the difference between her killing them and me killing her.
:'''Methos''': Good question, right up there with chicken and egg.
:'''Duncan''': So what you're saying is there is no answer?
:'''Methos''': No, there is an answer. But the real question is whether you're ready for it. ''(Duncan nods)'' Stephanovitch killed, and Ingrid judged him. Wilkinson killed, and Ingrid judged him. Ingrid killed, and you judged her.
:'''Duncan''': So who judges me?
:'''Methos''': ''(long pause)'' You hungry?
== Season Six ==
===Avatar [6.1] ===
''[At Richie's grave. The headstone reads RICHIE RYAN -- 22 YEARS -- FRIEND]''
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': I guess it's just you and me Richie. I can't believe it's been a year already. I wish I could tell you why this happened. That it all makes sense now...But I can't. I'm sorry.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': He knows why.
:'''Joe''': Well, welcome back.
:'''Duncan''': I'm glad you stayed in Paris.
:'''Joe''': Somebody had to. ''[pause]'' I buried him with his sword. I didn't know what else to put on the headstone... It seemed right.
:'''Duncan''': 'Friend' is good. Because that's what he was.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': When Richie died, I wanted to die. But I realized that if his death was to mean anything, I had to survive... I had to understand what happened. I had to believe what happened.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Joe''': But how to we beat something with the power of life and death?
:'''Duncan''': Because we have to, Joe. Because there is no one else.
:'''Joe''': What the hell.
:'''Duncan''': Exactly.
===Armageddon [6.2] ===
''[Ahriman disguised as Horton; referring to a snake]''
:'''[[w:James Horton|Horton]]''': Somewhat theatrical, I agree. A thousand years ago it would have been enough to have caused a panic in the streets.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': What do you want?
:'''Horton''': But this is the scientific age. People don't believe in demons and devils anymore. And maybe that's my best trick yet. ''[on laptop screen]'' All that technology...So much useless information... It's almost a sin to want to know so much.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': We went back to the archives. The symbol turned up in the writings of an ancient German mystic. To him it was a force of hate that could only be defeated by love.
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': Fine for Gandhi. But what about us? What else did he say?
:'''Duncan''': Nothing. Seems he died before he could finish his memoirs.
:'''Joe''': That's great. So what do we do, sit and contemplate our navels while the world goes to hell?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Game's over. Your time is up.
:'''Ahriman''': No gun. No sword. How are you going to fight me? Are you going to huff and puff and blow my house down?
:'''Duncan''': I become one with everything. I become one with you.
:'''Ahriman''': Too bad you didn't think of that before you killed Richie.
:'''Duncan''': I become everything. Therefore I become nothing.
:'''Ahriman''': C'mon, be a man. I dare you!
:'''Duncan''': Therefore you are nothing. Without my anger, you have no substance. Without my pride, you have no form. Without my hate... you - have - no - being.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Evil exist in all of us, Joe. When we deny that, we give evil power. Ahriman said it himself. His greatest trick was to convince the world he didn't exist. But, he does, he exists in all of us. Once I accepted that, I was able to defeat him.
===Sins of the Father [6.3] ===
:'''Alex Raven''': MacLeod, you're like a bad penny.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Alex Raven''': We've gotta stop meeting like this.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': Then you've gotta stop trying to blow up my friends.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': So there is no Russian Mafia.
:'''Grant''': Sure there is...somewhere.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': We rewrite our history all the time because we have to. We rationalize our cruelty. So we can look in the mirror and face ourselves.
===Two of Hearts [6.10] ===
:'''Kate''': Have you ever heard of the Kama Sutra?
:'''Nick''': Yeah, you read it?
:'''Kate''': Read it? I modeled for the drawings.
----
:'''Nick''': Who is he?
:'''Kate''': You don't need to know.
:'''Nick''': Who is he, Kate?
:'''Kate''': His name is Bartholemew.
:'''Nick''': Wait, let me guess. You've been searching for him for a zillion years and now that you've found him, your gonna have to kill him. How am I doing here?
:'''Kate''': Don't do that.
:'''Nick''': What?
:'''Kate''': Piss on something you don't understand.
----
:'''Nick''': I say we get a line on the money first.
:'''Kate''': No, I don't want his money, I want his head.
:'''Nick''': That's very big of you. I wonder if that's what the kids want. You know, the one's he stealing from.
:'''Kate''': I hate you.
:'''Nick''': That money could feed a lot of babies. But, if you want to kill him, kill him.
:'''Kate''': I really hate you.
----
:'''Kate''': Look, I'm sorry I'm Immortal, Nick, there's nothing I can do about it.
:'''Nick''': Now you're getting irrational.
:'''Kate''': Tell me it doesn't drive you crazy, that I can't die and you can.
:'''Nick''': I don't believe this! I mean, first you lie to me, and then when things don't work out you lay this on me.
:'''Kate''': Look, you knew what I was when we met. You know the Game, you know the Rules.
:'''Nick''': And you know me, Kate. Am I the type of guy whose going to sit on his ass and let you walk off and maybe get whacked? Tell me Kate, is that who you ever thought I was?
:'''Kate''': No.
:'''Nick''': How the hell did we happen?
:'''Kate''': I didn't know we were going to happen. I didn't know I was going to fall in love with you. Nick, the part of my life that has to do with being Immortal has nothing to do with you. It can't.
:'''Nick''': Katherine, I'm either in your life, all of it, or I'm gone.
===Patient Number 7 [6.5] ===
:'''Kyra''': Why should I trust you? Give me a reason, give me one good reason.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': Because there is no one else.
----
:''[Flashback to 1640, a tavern]''
:'''Gaston''': You've forgotten what it's like to be a woman. I think you need a real man to remind you.
:'''Kyra''': What men? All I see are a pair of miserable toads who work for the bastard Richelieu.
:'''Gaston''': Cardinal Richelieu does the work of God!
:'''Kyra''': Somehow I doubt God spends much of his time in the sewers of France. Tell me, is it true Richelieu has syphilis? Because if so, that's quite an accomplishment for a eunuch. Well, maybe he's not a eunuch, but you know, I hear it's, um... ''(points to the end of her little finger)''
:''[They fight. She wins.]''
----
:''[Flashback to 1640, an inn]''
:''[They are sharing a bed, under strictly honorable circumstances]''
:'''Kyra''': I've never met a Scotsman before. Tell me, are they well armed?
:'''Duncan''': Ah-hem. What exactly do you mean?
:'''Kyra''': I mean their swords, of course. What did you think I meant?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, well, your French toad stabbers, they're fine for some, but they're kind of puny.
:'''Kyra''': You think them small?
:'''Duncan''': Och! They're hardly worth your while. Now a Scotsman's weapon, that's another matter. Once it gets going there's nothing that can stop it.
:'''Kyra''': Really?
:'''Duncan''': Aye. Two hands to hold the thing. I doubt you could even hold it.
:'''Kyra''': Surely you exaggerate.
:'''Duncan''': No, not a wee bit. Come to Scotland and I'll show you.
:'''Kyra''': Scotland?
:'''Duncan''': You dinna think I could bring it in here did you? I mean the bloody thing wouldn't fit through the door.
:'''Kyra''': Oh. Oh, you mean your sword.
:'''Duncan''': A claymore, of course. What did you think I meant?
----
:''[Taunting a bad guy]''
:'''Kyra''': Looking for me? Mine's a .44. Modified. Go right through you. Probably kill your partner too.... Of course, I'm only a girl. Might lose my nerve. Might even miss. ''(BANG)'' But not this time.
----
:'''Duncan''': After the trial, the chief judge was murdered. Albright...
:'''Kyra''': Richard. Richard was his name. Did you ever meet someone truly good, MacLeod? Someone who didn't want money, or power, or, or glory? Somebody beyond temptation and corruption?
:'''Duncan''': You were his bodyguard.
:'''Kyra''': I did a hell of a job, didn't I?
:'''Duncan''': And there's more?
:'''Kyra''': That's how it started. God, I loved him. Richard believed, MacLeod, believed like, like nobody I've ever met before. Justice, compassion. They were his Gods. Being with him was like being inside a warm, bright light. For 10 years, MacLeod. I wanted it never to stop. And then somebody stopped it. Do you know what that feels like?

'''''[[w:Highlander: The Series|Highlander: The Series]]''''' (1992–1998) was an English language fantasy/sci-fi television series featuring [[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]] ([[w:Adrian Paul|Adrian Paul]]), of the Scottish Clan MacLeod, as the Highlander of the title
== Season One ==
*Original narration, read by Adrian Paul:
''I am Duncan MacLeod, born four hundred years ago in the Highlands of Scotland. I am Immortal and I am not alone. For centuries we've waited for the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword and a fall of a head will release the power of the Quickening. In the end, there can be only one.''
*Second narration, for the second half of the First Season (also by Adrian Paul):
''I was born four hundred years ago in the Highlands of Scotland. I am immortal and I am not alone. Now is the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword will release the power of the Quickening. In the end, there can be only one.''
===Bad Day In Building A [1.07]===
:''(Duncan is telling a little girl a story in a compromised building.)''
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Once there was this place where the faerie-people lived. It was a beautiful city in those days, surrounded by white walls, and tall stone towers...
:'''Little girl, Belinda''': What were they like?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, they were like regular people, except they lived for a very long time, and they never grew old.
:'''Belinda''': Like Peter Pan!
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, sort of. Well, the fairies...were handsome, and wise, and very, very clever. The problem was, as time went on, there were more and more people, and soon the faerie people had to leave this home in the faerie city. They moved into the mountains, and into the old forests, and in the caves, and in the cliffs, but the other people always found these places, so the faerie people had to move on.
:'''Belinda''': That's sad. Where do they live now?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, Belinda, they're all around us, and you know what their job is? It's to protect children, and sometimes tell them stories.
:'''Belinda''': Have you ever met one?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, lots.
===The Sea Witch [1.09]===
:'''Duncan MacLeod''': You have not changed.
:'''Alexey Voshin''': No, did you expected me to?
:'''Duncan''': No, that's why I'm here.
----
:'''Melinda''': He's gonna be ok?
:'''Tessa''': I don't know.
----
:'''Tessa''': I'm going to think about both of you for a long time.
----
:'''Tessa''': Bad money put to good use.
----
:'''Tessa''': I'm going to think about both of you for a long time.
----
:'''Tessa''': I am going to miss you, Melinda, very very much. I'll always remember you.
:'''Melinda''': Promise?
:'''Tessa''': You see, I am going to save you right here. ''(in her heart)''
===See No Evil [1.11]===
:'''Randi McFarland''': ''(to Duncan)'' Surprise, surprise! Another weird murder attempt and you're right here in the middle of it.
----
:'''Randi''': Come on, MacLeod, you were here. Give me a quote.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Those who forget the past are condemned to relive it.
----
:''[She is crying]''
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': I just keep seeing him in front of me as I ... ''(ran him over with a car)''
:'''Duncan''': You did what you had to.
:'''Tessa''': I thought ridding the world of evil would feel better than this.
:'''Duncan''': I know... I know.
===Eyewitness [1.12]===
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': Whoa! Damn, check me out, I am one sharp dude!
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': Even if you do say so yourself.
:'''Richie''': Hey, Tess, I'm just callin em as I see em.
----
:'''Tessa''': I stay with you because I want to! I won't run. I'm not that "little woman", and I'll never be barefoot and pregnant! We all have things to face. This is mine. I have to see it through.
----
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Tessa, you're stronger than she was. If something happened to me, you'd be fine.
:'''Tessa''': You only think so because it suits you.
----
:'''Tessa''': Duncan, when the time comes, if you ever have to leave me, ''(Duncan groans)'' I won't be like Ann, I'll leave you first.
:'''Duncan''': You do that!
:'''Tessa''': Yeah?
:''[they kiss]''
:'''Duncan''': Yeah! And I'll follow you, wherever you go, for as long as you live.
:'''Tessa''': Mmmm... Then maybe, just maybe, I won't leave.
===Band of Brothers [1.13]===
:'''Grayson''': I shall hunt down your proteges, one by one, until you sicken of it and come out of sanctuary to fight me.
:'''Darius''': Will it please you that much to destroy me?
:'''Grayson''': Immensely.
----
:'''Darius''': Grayson! You believed in me once.
:'''Grayson''': I didn't change, you did.
----
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': So what makes this Grayson guy so different from the others?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': He's 1400 years older than I am. He's one of the few ancient Immortals left. He's been a warlord most of that time. You don't just go up to him with your sword and say "Tsst, tsst, tsst! En garde, fool!".
----
:'''Duncan''': The legend has it that Darius killed a holy man at the gates of Paris, the oldest living Immortal at the time. And suddenly he changed. He turned his back on war.
----
:'''Richie''': Did Darius ever change you?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, I guess he did. I was born of a warrior people. When war came I chose sides like most men. I fought. I killed.
----
:''[Flashback to Waterloo, 1815]''
:'''Darius''': You shouldn't be taking part in this tragedy.
:'''Duncan''': I was raised a warrior. I choose battles I believe to be just.
:'''Darius''': Oh, I'm sure. You're quite loyal to your convictions and compatriots... But I wonder what these ''(dead)'' men think about that, about convictions and compatriotism now?
----
:''[Duncan's thoughts as he prepares for battle]''
: Hope doesn't conquer a superior adversary. So why do I hope to beat Grayson? Why do I think that a good life will protect me from an evil one? What power can I draw from this thing, this hope?
----
:'''Victor Paulus''': You've saved my life again. Why are you... who are you?
:'''Duncan''': I'm a friend of Darius.
:'''Victor''': You didn't learn this ''(fighting)'' from Darius.
:'''Duncan''': I wasn't much of a student.
----
:'''Darius''': I wasn't always a priest, you know. When I was a young man the first thing you had to do when introduced to a woman was compliment her father's horse. ''(Richie looks doubtful)'' Well, that probably doesn't help you.
----
:'''Duncan''': It's a good job, huh?
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': Great job.
:'''Duncan''': Great. I like being kept.
:'''Tessa''': Kept?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, I mean, hang out on the barge, catch up on my reading, while you bring home the bacon.
:'''Tessa''': Barge, what barge?
:'''Duncan''': Oh I forgot to tell you about the barge. No self-respecting museum curator would live anywhere else.
:'''Tessa''': So I slave away all day while you sunbathe on a barge. Is that it?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, but just think of how ... rested I'll be. He he he...
===For Evil's Sake [1.14]===
:''[Flashback to about 1800]''
:'''Baron Deshields''': Absinthe?
:'''Kuyler''': From the Luchessi family. None better in the whole of France.
:'''Deshields''': No, thank you. Madness and death are not things to which I aspire.
:'''Kuyler''': Who wants to live forever?
----
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Do you have any, uh, any absinthe?
:'''storekeeper''': It is against the law to sell absinthe.
:'''Duncan''': ''(displays money)'' Well, uh, to connoissuers... ''(more money)'' true men of discretion... ''(more money)'' such things can be made unimportant.
:'''shopkeeper''': I wish I could help you.
:'''Duncan''': Me too... ''(more money)''
:'''shopkeeper''': Who sent you here?
:'''Duncan''': A friend whose tastes I share.
----
:'''Kuyler''': Incidentally, I owe you an apology. Anthony was very sloppy. I killed him for you.
:'''Duncan''': You're mad, Kuyler.
:'''Kuyler''': Maybe. Maybe I'm just trying to excel at what I do. Didn't you ever want to be the best at something?
:'''Duncan''': Murder means nothing to you?
:'''Kuyler''': On the contrary, it means everything.
----
:'''Kuyler''': Do you know how many Mortals I've killed over the years?
:'''Duncan''': I'm sure you do.
:'''Kuyler''': I've kept a book. 2760. Now I don't just think I'm bragging, but, I'm the greatest assassin in all of history. Of course, there have been men responsible for more deaths, but none of them killed so many, so close.
:'''Duncan''': I don't think there are going to be any more entries in your book.
===For Tomorrow We Die [1.15]===
:'''[[w:Darius (Highlander)|Darius]]''': Why are you here?
:'''[[w:Xavier St. Cloud|Xavier St. Cloud]]''': I've come to confess. Same as everyone else. Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.
:'''Darius''': I will not hear this.
:'''Xavier''': You are a priest, and I am a sinner. Isn't that how it goes? Or have you reinvented the position?
:'''Darius''': Why do this? It means nothing to you.
:'''Xavier''': Because it means everything to you.
----
:'''Dalou''': Parisians don't mind a little larceny now and then. If it's done with ingenuity, no one gets hurt.

:'''Inspector LeBrun''': If this man kills again because you're holding out on me, I will personally have your head.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Well I think your gonna have to wait in line.
----
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': Mac, you ever had it bad for an older woman?
:'''Duncan''': Well, the situation hasn't come up recently.
----
:'''Xavier''': I'm just trying to earn a few francs. After all, a man's gotta live.
:'''Duncan''': Not necessarily.
:''[They fight]''
===Saving Grace [1.17]===
:'''[[w:Darius (Highlander)|Darius]]''': War in the abstract is a great intellectual puzzle, but in reality it's all blood and tears.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Then why make it into a game?
:'''Darius''': To deny what I was is to deny what I am.
----
:'''Grace Chandel''': God, I get so tired of it sometimes. We go on and everything around us dies.
----
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': Do you still love her?
:'''Duncan''': No.
:'''Tessa''': That's all that needs to be said. She's your friend, and she's been hurt. You'll help her. I'd expect you to do no less.
----
:'''Grace''': The truth is, you and I were too different.
:'''Duncan''': Maybe if I'd stayed.
:'''Grace''': You would've been unhappy. So I let you go. My wandering knight, charging off to right all the wrongs of the world.
----
:''[At her husband's grave]''
:'''Grace''': You'd think I'd learn how to handle this, wouldn't you. The strange thing is, every time it happens I tell myself I won't go through it again. I swear to myself I won't fall in love with a mortal. As if love were something you had any control over. You and Mac have something good. I envy you.
:'''Tessa''': Grace, about you and Mac...
:'''Grace''': We had a moment, that was all. Though I wanted it to be more. Please don't hold it against me.
:'''Tessa''': It's funny, but I don't. It would take me several lifetimes to find out everything in Duncan's past. I know there have been others. But I never thought I would meet one of them. And here you are.
===The Lady and the Tiger [1.18]===
:'''[[w:Tessa Noël|Tessa Noël]]''': You don't look like someone who would worry much about forgiveness.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': Tess, you do know that they all carry ''big'' swords with them. Just a thought.
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': You've always had a taste for beautiful and spirited women, Duncan.
:'''Tessa''': And modest. Don't forget modest.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Time to go. It's been thrilling.
:'''Amanda''': It's been 65 years. A girl might think you're trying to avoid her.
:'''Duncan''': Now how could you think that? Goodbye, Amanda.
----
:''[She sent him to prison, now he's escaped and has her helpless]''
:'''Zachary Blaine''': Do you know what I missed most... was the feeling of a good, old fashioned Quickening. SShhhh!!
:'''Amanda''': Wait!
:'''Zachary''': No, after what you did to me, you can't come up with a reason good enough.
:'''Amanda''': I can give you ten million reasons, in American dollars.
:'''Zachary''': Funny, you'd think that would be enough. ''(prepares to kill her)''
:'''Amanda''': I can give you the head of Duncan MacLeod!
----
:'''Amanda''': I gave up my life of crime, Duncan.
:'''Duncan''': That's what you said in Constantinople, 250 years ago.
:'''Amanda''': I succumbed to an impulse.
:'''Duncan''': I was nearly flayed alive when they came looking for you.
:'''Amanda''': But you got away. You always do.
----
:'''Tessa''': After all she's done to you, why do you care whether she's happy or not?
:'''Duncan''': I don't know, Tessa. She made me laugh when there weren't too many things to laugh about. Maybe that doesn't seem important, but those are the things I remember of her.
:'''Tessa''': She makes me feel like I have to compete with her. Maybe if I'd been a lady pirate or something....
:'''Duncan''': whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Richie, give us a moment, would you?
:'''Richie''': I was just leaving. ''[He leaves]''
:'''Duncan''': Hey, listen to me young lady, she's no competition. Hmmm?
:''[They kiss]''
----
:'''Zachary''': Why try to save her, MacLeod? She's betrayed you before.
:'''Duncan''': At least I'm smart enough to stay out of jail.

== Season Two ==
*Third narration, read by actor [[w:Jim Byrnes|Jim Byrnes]]:
''He is immortal, born in the Highlands of Scotland four hundred years ago. He is not alone. There are others like him, some good, some evil. For centuries he has battled the forces of Darkness, with Holy Ground his only refuge. He cannot die, unless you take his head and with it, his power. In the end there can be only one. He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander.''
===An Eye For an Eye [2.5]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': She ''(Tessa)'' was part of our lives, Richie. Never pretend she wasn't.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': I don't! I keep waking up every morning...
:'''Duncan''': ...expecting her to be there. Get used to it, it won't be the last time it happens to you.
:'''Richie''': When does this start getting easier?
:'''Duncan''': It doesn't.
----
:'''Richie''': I keep waiting to feel different. Like someone's going to tell me how to be, what to do.
:'''Duncan''': What were you expecting, a set of instructions?
----
:''[Flashback to Ireland, 1920]''
:'''Annie Devlin''': Why don't you stay? It will be a beautiful war.
:'''Duncan''': War is never beautiful, Annie. Leave with me. This will never end.
:'''Annie''': It will when we win. Or when there's no one left alive to fight.
----
:''[Referring to his fight with Annie]''
:'''Richie''': I could have killed her, Mac. I mean, that's what I'm supposed to do, right?
:'''Duncan''': Sometimes.
:'''Richie''': I couldn't do it. I thought I could, but I couldn't. Maybe I'm just not cut out for this.
:'''Duncan''': You're still who you are, Richie. You don't change when you become Immortal, you just live longer. Hopefully.
:'''Richie''': Oh, boy, I'd say I got a lot to learn.
:'''Duncan''': You still have time.
:''[Duncan presents Richie with a sword]''
:'''Duncan''': Take good care of it. Live with it. Make it part of you. Might be the only friend you have.
===The Zone [2.6]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': You know, there's a problem with thinking the strongest can take what they want.
:'''Caanan''': Yeah, what's that?
:'''Duncan''': There's always somebody stronger.
===The Return of Amanda [2.7]===
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': You know, you won't ''let'' me change. You really expect me to steal, don't you?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': I expect sharks to bite, too. Don't take it personally.
----
:'''Amanda''': I really do like you, Duncan. Let's just play house for 70 or 80 years.
----
:'''Duncan''': Who were those guys?
:'''Amanda''': I swear on my mother's grave...
:'''Duncan''': You don't have a mother.
----
:'''Amanda''': Why won't you believe me? I've never seen those guys before in my life.
:'''Duncan''': Funny, they seemed to know you.
----
:''[Amanda wants to know why Duncan is smiling]''
:'''Duncan''': Why can't I just smile? I'm happy, we're safe for now, I've just made love to the most devious, scheming, deceitful... beautiful woman in history.
:'''Amanda''': Do you really think I'm one of the most beautiful women in history?
----
:'''Amanda''': I told you, I'm not a thief any more.
:'''Duncan''': So you turned to counterfeiting instead?
:'''Amanda''': Well, I ran out of money, what else am I supposed to do?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, a job is out of the question.
:'''Amanda''': Would you get serious, MacLeod.
----
:'''Duncan''': Wait, wait, counterfeiting and honesty, they go well together, right?
:'''Amanda''': Don't be so picky, my heart was in the right place.
===Run for your Life [2.09]===
:'''Carl''': Maybe it's just time for old Carl to move on, man.
:'''Duncan''': And do what?
:'''Carl''': Hey, I'll get by. You just take care of yourself.
:'''Duncan''': You still don't get it, do you?! You are an immortal. You have something other people will never have: time, and the ability to make the difference. No, listen to me, man! Listen to me! You can do whatever you want, be whatever you want! You can live the dream. Most people grow old and die before they can do that.
---------
:'''Carter''': Hello, Carl. Nice to see you again.
:'''Carl''': ''[Stands up]'' What do you want?
:'''Carter''': I'm gonna kill you. Forever.
:'''Carl''': Wow, man. I don't even know you. ''[Carter walks closer to him]'' What was this all about? I didn't do nothing.
:'''Carter''': You live.
:'''Ken''': ''[Pointing a gun at Carter]'' Put it down, Carter.
:'''Carter''': Get outta here, kid.
:'''Ken''': Why?
:'''Carter''': Just get the hell outta here!
:'''Ken''': I can't. What's this all about?
:'''Carl''': ''(To Ken)'' He doesn't want any witnesses for the execution.
:'''Carter''': He's wanted for murder.
:'''Ken''': Who's murder? Huh? I checked him at Arizona.
:'''Carter''': You don't know what the hell these people are. ''[Duncan climbing the ladder]''
:'''Ken''': Shut them down.
:'''Carter''': He doesn't deserve to live.
''[Duncan continuing climbing the ladder]''
:'''Ken''': Please. Put it down.
:'''Carter''': You're over your head, Kenny. Trust me, you don't understand what's going on here.
:'''Ken''': I understand enough to know what attempted murder looks like. ''[Duncan climbs slowly to sneak]''
:'''Carter''': What? Are you gonna shoot me, rookie?
:'''Ken''': If I have to?
:'''Carter''': I don't think so. ''[Duncan shoves him and Ken shots him down to death while he screamed from the dock to the water]''
===Under Color of Authority [2.12]===
:'''Mako''': I always thought that you were a man that respected the law.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': I like to see justice done.
----
:'''Duncan''': A man can't always live by the law.
:'''Mako''': A man cannot live any other way.
----
:'''Mako''': I have been a lawman for almost 600 years. Even before I was Immortal. I have seen cities burned, I have seen children slaughtered. Law is what separates us from the beast. When we leave it, we leave a hole with no bottom.
----
:'''Laura''': You don't exactly trust me, much, now do you?
:'''Duncan''': I don't know you.
:'''Laura''': So you don't believe me.
:'''Duncan''': No, I believe that you're frightened, and I believe that you're running from something. I'm just not sure what.
----
:'''Duncan''': When you're young and you care about someone, you think with your heart. You don't see clearly.
:'''Laura''': I don't know why you're so worried about Richie. I mean, you act like you're his father or something.
:'''Duncan''': I'm not his father, Laura, but he is like family to me.
----
:'''Mako''': I'm looking for a girl.
:'''Duncan''': Try working on your personality.
----
:'''Duncan''': Richie, where is this going from here? What happens if you are out on the road and a cop recognizes her? What are you going to do, kill him? How far is this going to go, Richie?
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': I don't know, Mac, I don't know! All I know is, I gotta help her, Mac. Mac, she needs me.
===Legacy [2.19]===
:[''John is mortal. Rebecca is not.'']
:'''John''': Promise me something. You will leave me before I get too old.
:'''Rebecca''': You are in a good mood today!
:'''John''': Well, I'm serious. Listen, Rebecca, you deserve a younger man.
:'''Rebecca''': I have a younger man. I have what I want.
:'''John''': There's two things...
:'''Rebecca''': John, you are the love of my life. You're the love of a dozen lifetimes. I don't care if you are 23, or 53, or 103. I am never going to leave you. Ever.
----
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': MacLeod, do you ever wonder what it is like to die?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Every time.
:'''Amanda''': That's not what I meant.
:'''Duncan''': I know, you meant really die. Be gone forever.
:'''Amanda''': So you do think about it.
:'''Duncan''': Not for myself. Not any more. Whatever happens, happens.
:'''Amanda''': I don't know. The longer I live the more I get attached to myself.
:'''Duncan''': Sooner or later everyone dies. Even us.
:'''Amanda''': I don't mind the later, it's the sooner part I don't like.
----
:[''Flashback to 1635'']
:'''Amanda''': Why take a man's head when you can have his gold?
:'''Rebecca''': Amanda!
:'''Amanda''': What? You taught me to be clever.
:'''Rebecca''': I also taught you to be honest.
:'''Amanda''': Ah yes, I forget that part.
----
:'''Amanda''': Hmmmm. Breakfast in bed. You better watch it, MacLeod. They say this is how love starts.
----
:'''Duncan''': Was the crystal really worth Rebecca's life?
:'''Luther''': It's worth any amount of lives.
:'''Duncan''': Whoever has the crystal becomes invincible. Is that it?
:'''Luther''': So you know.
:'''Duncan''': It's a myth, Luther. A story told by bored people around campfires.
----
:'''Amanda''': You stuck your nose in without being asked, the least you could do is say you're sorry.
:'''Duncan''': What, for saving your life?
:'''Amanda''': Oh don't change the subject!
== Season Three ==
===The Samurai [3.1]===
:'''[[w:Charlie DeSalvo|Charlie DeSalvo]]''': You got a visitor.

:'''Duncan''': Walk out that door and you won't know if this is the right place or not.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': I've gotta go to Japan.
:'''Charlie''': Japan?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, you know. Land of the Rising Sun. Hai!
:'''Charlie''': You just got back!
:'''Duncan''': That was Paris. It's a different continent.
:'''Charlie''': Very funny, MacLeod.
:'''Duncan''': I'll give you the air miles.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Charlie''': How long have you been gone?
:'''Duncan''': Six months.
:'''Charlie''': Yeah right, so for six months, everything is quiet. I don't even get a hangnail. And all of a sudden you show up and I'm fighting to save my teeth.
:'''Duncan''': Don't thank me all at once, Charlie.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Sometimes it's not the body you have to protect... it's the spirit.
----
:[''Flashback to Japan, 1778'']
:'''Duncan''': But there must be some other way! We can get a boat and leave Japan...
:'''Hideo Koto''': I could no more run than I could fly. Koto is a noble Samurai name... a name I have been honored to borrow. To dishonor it for all who follow me would be unthinkable.
===Line of Fire [3.2]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Let me know when you've found the formula.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': The formula?
:'''Duncan''': For getting in shape without training.
<hr width="50%"/>
''[Richie believes he has a son]''
:'''Duncan''': Immortals can't have children.
:'''Richie''': Exactly Mac, this happened before I became an immortal.
:'''Duncan''': That's not the way it works.
:'''Richie''': Maybe I'm the first.
:'''Duncan''': I wish it could happen. But it's not in the cards. We don't get to live happily ever after. Children aren't part of our lives...it can't happen.
:'''Richie''': It just did.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Father Matthew''': Ah, Paris... The city of my youth. I was there in '72. What a summer. ''[remembering]'' All those women, all that wine... Of course, that was before I entered the priesthood.
:'''Duncan''' and '''Richie''': Of course.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Richie''': I didn't know if I'd find you alive. What the hell happened?
:'''Duncan''': I lived.
:'''Richie''': Very funny. And the other guy?
:'''Duncan''': He lived too.
<hr width="50%"/>
''[In Joe's bar]''
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': Hey MacLeod, what do you think? Is it me?
:'''Duncan''': The truth? I'd say it's a little out of character.
:'''Joe''': You know, I wasn't born in a museum. In fact, I'm kinda tired of hanging around old antiques like you. Look at me, I'm growing old.
<hr width="50%"/>
''[Richie enters the dojo covered with grunge and tomatoes]''
:'''Duncan''': I think you need some oil and vinegar.

:'''Duncan''': Pardon?
:'''Anne''': Forget it. Get out, go!

:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Joe, I want you to meet Amanda. Amanda... Joe Dawson.
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''' The Amanda..? You know, I've heard an awful lot about you.
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': I'll bet you have. I hear you're one of those guys who likes to watch.
:'''Joe''': It's clinical. For history. We don't get involved.
:'''Amanda''': Well, tell me... Do you watch us do... everything?
:'''Joe''': Only the things I can't get arrested for.
:'''Amanda''': ''[to MacLeod]'' I like this guy.
<hr width="50%"/>

<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': I need you to help me break into the museum.
:'''Amanda''': You want me to WHAT?! I knew you were up to something. For three hundred years you've been telling me to go legit. Now that I'm straight, you want me to steal.
:'''Duncan''': You hate your job.
:'''Amanda''': That's not the point.
:'''Duncan''': In a good cause.
:'''Amanda''': Don't you look at me like that. No, I'm retired. You wouldn't ask an alcoholic to take a drink for a good cause.
<hr width="50%"/>
''[Joe's taking a revolver from a drawer]''
:'''Duncan''': You can't kill him with that, Joe.
:'''Joe''': I know, but I can sure as hell slow him down until I can.

<hr width="50%"/>
[''Joe's bar, Dawson is up on the stage, singing the blues. Duncan and Amanda stand in the shadows, watching and listening'']
:'''Amanda''': Did you know he could do that?
:'''Duncan''': No. [''with irony''] You know, It's funny. The man knows more about me than anyone else alive, yet I hardly know anything about him..
:'''Amanda''': God, to sing like that...he must have had a helluva life.
:'''Duncan''': Probably...
:'''Amanda''': You want to ask him about it?
:'''Duncan''': No... when he's ready, he'll tell me.
===Rite of Passage [3.5]===
:'''Michelle Webster''': Whoa, hold up, time out! That was the morgue. I was in the morgue!
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Keep your voice down.
:'''Michelle''': Why?
:'''Duncan''': Because we are sneaking out of here!
:'''Michelle''': No, I mean, why was I in there?
:'''Duncan''': Don't worry, you're not dead.
:'''Michelle''': Oh, gee, thanks. That explains it.
----
:'''Michelle''': You mean I'm never going to turn nineteen?
:'''Duncan''': But you might get to see a thousand.
----
:'''Michelle''': You do know I've always had a thing for you. Since the first time I laid eyes on you.
:'''Duncan''': You were eleven years old!
:'''Michelle''': I matured early.
----
:'''Michelle''': Oh, so is that what you guys do? Run around chopping each other's heads off?
:'''Duncan''': Until there's only one of us left alive.
:'''Michelle''': I don't think so.
:'''Duncan''': Michelle, I'm not your father and this isn't a fairy tale! Now you either learn the Game, or you die.
----
:'''Michelle''': You know, Duncan, you really have a gift for taking the fun out of eternal life.
:'''Duncan''': It'll get better.
:'''Michelle''': I sure hope so.
:'''Duncan''': No, I mean your... outlook.
:'''Michelle''': Oops. Almost slipped. You were gonna say "attitude".
:'''Michelle''': You know what, Duncan? That is "Dad speak". And you're pretty lousy at that too.
===Obsession [3.8]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': This doesn't make any sense, Richie, he's supposed to be getting married.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': Not unless it's a shotgun wedding. I'm telling you, Mac, she didn't want anything to do with him.
----
:'''Richie''': Mac, you don't understand, one minute the guy was there, and the next, boom, he's trying to take my head. And he wasn't kidding around. I mean, that girl came in, and he just freaked. He totally lost it. Now what the hell is this all about?
----
:'''Jill''': We were happy. Everything seemed so perfect. Then one day I came home and he said "Honey, come here, I have something to show you." And then he took a knife, and he .... ''[she can't say it]''
:'''Duncan''': Then he healed.
:'''Jill''': He said I had to know... and I wish he'd never told me.
:'''Duncan''': He loves you. He had to tell you.
:'''Jill''': Mr. MacLeod, I have a picture of how I want my life to be. Kids, grandkids... a family. It may sound stupid, but it's what I see.
:'''Richie''': So you called it off.
:'''Jill''': But he won't let me. And he won't leave me alone. He nearly beat a guy to death just for talking to me.
----
:'''[[w:Anne Lindsey|Anne Lindsey]]''': This is ridiculous. I'm calling the police.
:'''Duncan''': Anne, don't.
:'''Anne''': It is the only way, Duncan. You think talking is going to stop this guy? If you think that, spend a Saturday night in the emergency ward with me. These guys do not stop until someone's dead.
===Methos [3.16] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Joe? What's up?
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': You've got trouble.
:'''Duncan''': How come you never call with good news?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Come on, Joe. Methos doesn't exist.He's a legend... like Adam and Eve. The oldest Immortal.
:'''Joe''': Oh, he exists all right.
:'''Duncan''': Are you telling me you've seen him?
:'''Joe''': Me? No. He's an elusive guy. Have to be, to live as long as he has. An Immortal so old he doesn't remember the time of his birth.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Five thousand years.
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Yeah, give or take. And that was when I took my first head. Before that, it all starts to blur.
:'''Duncan''': I guess it would. So, after all this time, have You... ?
:'''Methos''': Made any sense of it all? Found any purpose?
:'''Duncan''': You read minds, too?
:'''Methos''': No. It's what I'd ask if I'd just met me.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Somehow I thought you'd be...
:'''Methos''': Deeper? Wiser? Bearded?
:'''Duncan''': I didn't really think you existed.
:'''Methos''': Ah, it's good to be a myth.
:'''Duncan''': Yeah, no one hunts for a myth. Or a Watcher.
:'''Methos''': What better place to hide? I'm in charge of finding myself...and I make sure it never happens.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': You think I'd still be around if I was an easy mark?
:'''Duncan''': When was the last time you faced anyone?
:'''Methos''': What are we? [''checking his watch''] Sixth of March, uh, two hundred years. Hey, I may be a bit rusty but I'm still here.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': You think I wanna die? Do you think it's easy after thousands of years?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': So after five thousand years, your only solution is that I kill you?
:'''Methos''': He can beat me. He might beat you. He can't beat both of US.
:'''Duncan''': If it's that simple, why don't you take my head?
:'''Methos''': 'Cause it's not just a matter of who is the best fighter. It is about passion and hate. I don't have the fire. You do. You want Kalas.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': Live, Highlander. Grow stronger...fight another day.
===Take Back The Night [3.17]===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': You've killed two already. How much is enough?
:'''Ceirdwyn''': There were five of them.
:'''Duncan''': This isn't the answer.
:'''Ceirdwyn''': A body for a body. A head for a head. Since the dawn of time. It's no different now.
:'''Duncan''': Revenge does nothing, Ceirdwyn... nothing.
----
:[''Speaking to her husband's grave'']
:'''Ceirdwyn''': I did what I had to do... But you'd think, after all this time, I would have learned... Death is always death. And when someone's gone, nothing can bring them back. Not pain, not rage... not revenge.
----
:[''About her dead (mortal) husband'']
:'''Duncan''': You going to be OK?
:'''Ceirdywn''': No, not for a long time... I'm not going to forget him, you know? But it was worth it. For the fifteen years we had together, I'll trade fifteen years of pain. I'd trade a hundred!
:'''Duncan''': But what about the price they pay? No family, living in secrecy... waiting for the night you go out and you never come back. Maybe we're not supposed to be with them.
:'''Ceirdwyn''': They're not children, MacLeod. They make their own decisions. Steven knew what I was, and he chose to be with me.

:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': I know, it's hard to accept. I thought coming here might help. That was a gift from Bonnie Prince Charlie. I claimed it after he died.
----
:'''Anne''': It's like a fairy tale, with swords and people living forever.
:'''Duncan''': Not always.
:'''Anne''': That's right, the heads. Do you really have to do that?
:'''Duncan''': Yeah.
----
:'''Anne''': Duncan, I've seen death. And I'm not afraid of it. Whatever happens, I want us to be together.
:'''Duncan''': Your whole life will never be the same.
:'''Anne''': My whole life has not been the same since the day I met you. I tried it with you. I've tried it without you. I'll take it with you any day.
----
:'''Kristov''': I'll kill you in a second, boy. Leave while you've still got your head.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': There's only one thing I hate more than being called a "boy". And that's your stupid paintings.
:''[They fight]''
----
:'''Richie''': I'd kiss you, but people might talk.
:'''Duncan''': They might.
----
:'''Anne''': So, is this the way it's always going to be?
:'''Duncan''': I don't know. I can't see into the future. Can you live with it?
:'''Anne''': I don't know. But I'd really like to try.
===Finale, Part One [3.21] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Amanda?
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': Gotta hand it to you, MacLeod...You've got a memory like an elephant.
:'''Duncan''': Amanda, what are you doing here? Besides making a fashion statement.
:'''Amanda''': You like it?... I'm making you dinner...
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Come on, Amanda, give. What do you really want?
:'''Amanda''': Just to make you happy.
:'''Duncan''': Why?
:'''Amanda''': So you won't kill me when I tell you what happened.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': What the hell are you doing here?
:'''Amanda''': Came to hear some jazz.
:'''Duncan''': Jazz.
:'''Amanda''': You know, American music. Miles, Coltrane, Wynton...[''off his look''] Alright, I was looking for you. [''his look doesn't change''] Alright, I was looking for Kalas! You know you can really be irritating sometimes?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': That went well. What the hell were you thinking of?
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': I wasn't thinking, I was improvising.
:'''Joe''': By cutting yourself open? And it took you five thousand years to figure that out.
:'''Methos''': You're disappointed in me, aren't you? Gimme a break. What were you expecting? Einstein? Freud? Buddha?
:'''Joe''': Forget it.
:'''Methos''': Sorry, Joe. I'm just a guy.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Amanda''': It's morning. I'm tired. It's hopeless. We'll never find him. Our only lead back to Kalas and you had to kill him.
:'''Duncan''': I told you, I didn't kill him. He fell.
:'''Amanda''': On his gun?
:'''Duncan''': Yes!
:'''Amanda''': And it went off just like that.
:'''Duncan''': Just like that.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': Well. Life as we know it is over.
===Finale, Part Two [3.22] ===
[''Looking down from the Eiffel Tower'']
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': Remember when Gustave Eiffel built this thing?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': World's Fair, 1889. Half the people thought it would ruin Paris forever. There were fist-fights all along the Champs Elysees.
:'''Amanda''': Now you can't imagine Paris without it.
<hr width="50%"/>
[''About going to see the editor of the Tribune'']
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': I've got a lot to offer. Five thousand years of history, Joe...I was there.
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': History's been written. People have been known to kill the messenger who waltzes in with a new version of the truth.
:'''Methos''': Why would I tell the truth?
<hr width="50%"/>
[''On the outer railing of the Eiffel Tower'']
:'''Amanda''': C'mon, MacLeod... Haven't you ever wanted to do something really crazy?
:'''Duncan''': Amanda, be careful. We don't fly.
:'''Amanda''': Have you ever tried? Relax. Whatever happens, I'll survive.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Antonius Kalas|Kalas]]''': MacLeod. It seems you're always a day late and a dollar short.
<hr width="50%"/>
[''After Macleod lets Kalas go'']
:'''Amanda''': You should have killed him. You had him... I can't believe you let him go!
:'''Duncan''': It's not that simple, Amanda...
:'''Amanda''': I'll tell you what's simple. Dead is simple.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Methos''': I was in Rome once. 93 A.D., the Coliseum... I saw Christians facing the lions. Some of them looked almost happy to die for their faith.
:'''Duncan''': Your point? Or are you just strolling down Memory Lane here?
:'''Methos''': But afterwards, the only ones looking happy were the lions
:'''Duncan''': This isn't about faith.
:'''Methos''': No, it's about sacrifice. It's a helluva thing to be a martyr, MacLeod... And that's exactly what Kalas wants. He's pushing all your buttons.
:'''Duncan''': Well, I'm open to suggestions. Enlighten me.
:'''Methos''': Maybe Amanda's right. You fight your best fight.
:'''Duncan''': ''[sarcastic]'' What? Every man for himself and to hell with the rest?
:'''Methos''': So what if the world finds out? Life's about change. Civilizations rise and fall.
:'''Duncan''': This isn't about civilization, this is about people! Amanda, Dawson, Richie... Our world isn't an ant farm.
:'''Methos''': ''[with a touch of admiration and humor]'' The passion of youth.
:'''Duncan''': ''[with a sense of humor]'' Boys will be boys.
:'''Methos''': And every cloud has a silver lining.
:'''Duncan''': What do you mean?
:'''Methos''': If you die, Amanda will be free to date.
:'''Duncan''': That's a comfort.
== Season Four ==
*Fourth and final version of the narration (also by Jim Byrnes):
''He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander. Born in 1592 in the Highlands of Scotland and he is still alive. He is immortal. For four hundred years he's been a warrior, a lover, a wanderer, constantly facing other Immortals in a combat to the death. The winner takes his enemy's head and with it, his power. I'm a Watcher, part of the secret society of men and women who observe and record, but never interfere. We know the truth about Immortals. In the end there can be only one. May it be Duncan MacLeod, The Highlander.''
===Homeland [4.1] ===
:''[At his parents' graves]''
:'''Rachel MacLeod''': I'm Rachel MacLeod, and those are my ancestors you're standing on.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Well, mine too, I'm Duncan MacLeod.
:'''Rachel''': Another one. Let me guess, you're here to find you Highland roots.
:'''Duncan''': I didn't know I'd lost them.
----
:'''Rachel''': Och, if it isn't the clansman. What can I get you? Haggis? Maybe a kilt?
:'''Duncan''': An ale would do just fine. Are the people of Glenfinnan always this friendly?
:'''Rachel''': We're friendly enough, just careful of strangers.
:'''Duncan''': Really. And since when is a MacLeod a stranger in Glenfinnan?
----
:'''Duncan''': All this for an ax?!
:'''Kanwulf''': An ax? An ax made by the Gods, MacLeod. Used by Loki and Thor themselves.
:'''Duncan''': You can't still believe that.
:'''Kanwulf''': As much as they believe in their pale Christ.
----
:''[At night. Duncan takes his father's sword down from the wall]''
:'''Rachel''': He came back from the dead, claimed his father's sword, killed the Viking, and stopped the slaughter.
:'''Duncan''': That's the legend, Rachel.
:'''Rachel''': The bracelet. Now this. If I asked you to explain, would it make any sense?
:''[Duncan is silent]''
:'''Rachel''': Duncan MacLeod.... maybe some legends are true.
:'''Duncan''': Maybe.
----
:''[Rachel is waiting when he returns the sword]''
:'''Duncan''': It's over.
:'''Rachel''': I knew you'd be back. The legend. That seems to belong in your hand.
:'''Duncan''': No, it belongs in Glenfinnan. This is it's home.
:''[She kisses him]''
:'''Rachel''': Your's too, Duncan MacLeod.
===Reunion [4.6] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Anne, you all right?
:'''[[w:Anne Lindsey|Anne Lindsey]]''': Yeah, I'm fine.
:'''Duncan''': Is the baby OK?
:'''Anne''': Yeah, the baby's... learning to tap-dance I think.
:'''Duncan''': Somebody told me that there was an emergency.
:'''Anne''': Well, yeah, it's your cousin. ''(Duncan looks blank)'' The one from Wisconsin.
:'''Duncan''': Kenny's here?
:'''Anne''': Yeah, he's in the chapel. I was gonna call security, but I thought, what am I gonna tell them, I've got this kid who could live forever but he's only safe in churches?
----
:''[Duncan walks through a minefield]''
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': When you think of me, when you, you know, if you ever had to describe me to someone else, would you think of me as a nurturing person?
:'''Duncan''': ''(long pause)'' Definitely. Is that it?
:'''Amanda''': No! I want you to be honest, OK?
:'''Duncan''': How honest?
:'''Amanda''': Honest. I mean, tell me the truth, don't think about hurting my feelings.
:'''Duncan''': OK, then, no. Nurturing is not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of you.
:'''Amanda''': Oh, I don't think you know me very well.
:'''Duncan''': Amanda, you're beautiful, you're smart, and you're a lot of fun. Nurturing's in there... it's just not high on the list.
:'''Amanda''': Well, do you think that I would have made a good mother?
:'''Duncan''': Absolutely.
:'''Amanda''': Really? I mean, because I could take it if you don't think that, you know, I have it in me.
:'''Duncan''': You would have made a wonderful mother.
:'''Amanda''': Really?
----
:''[Amanda touches Anne's belly]''
:'''Amanda''': Wow... so what's it like?
:'''Anne''': Oh, like all the cliches. Carrying a watermelon, walking like a duck. And this is the easy part. The tough part comes when she gets here.
:'''Amanda''': Are you scared?
:'''Anne''': Terrified. You know, I'm a single mother, I work crazy shifts and weird hours. She's gonna need me, and the ER's gonna need me, and I haven't figured out how I'm going to make it all work yet.
:'''Amanda''': You know what? I think your going to do great.
===Chivalry [4.10] ===
:''[Flashback to 1659]''
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Hey, you, in the coach, you carry a sword, why don't you use it?
:'''Kristin Gilles''': I could use it now, but then I could not do this. ''(Kisses Duncan)''
----
:'''Duncan''': Immortality definitely has an upside. Think about it, in 400 years you might be racing starships instead of Harleys.
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': You think things are going to change that much?
:'''Duncan''': Well, Richie, when I was a kid, the fastest way to travel was by horse, and if you wanted to fly, you had to be a bird.
----
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': MacLeod-san, that katana is a lovely piece of art. May I? I washed my hands this morning.
:''[MacLeod hands it over]''
:'''Methos''': Ahhh! Quite a blade.
:''[Methos puts blade to Duncan's neck]''
:'''Duncan''': Not funny, Methos.
:'''Methos''': Not meant to be. Not only are you naive, now you are weaponless. How have you lived this long? Do you know how many Immortals she's killed? Want a list?
:'''Duncan''': All right, you've made your point.
:'''Methos''': Have I? One day she is going to kill you.
:'''Duncan''': She's tried already.
:'''Methos''': You're better with a blade than her, yes. You are stronger than her, yes. But if you keep letting her walk away, one day she gets lucky, and takes your head. Yes!
:'''Duncan''': Oh, I don't know, maybe she'll start to gloat like you.
:''[Duncan knocks Methos down and escapes]''
:'''Duncan''': You wanna play?
:'''Methos''': Great, you knock me on my bum because I make a bad joke. Very macho. But you keep letting her walk away, without even taking a shot, that is very suicidal.
:'''Duncan''': You know what she was to me.
:'''Methos''': Yes, and I know what she is. A killer. You treat her like one.
----
:'''Methos''': A couple of medieval songwriters come up with the idea of chivalry one rainy day...
:'''Duncan''': This isn't about chivalry!
:'''Methos''': ...and you embrace it as a lifestyle. You live and die by a code of honor that was trendy when you were a kid.
:'''Duncan''': Would you rather that I had no code of honor at all?
:'''Methos''': I would rather you survived. You put that first.
----
:''[Duncan disarms Kristin but cannot kill her]''
:'''Methos''': Pick it up.
:'''Kristin''': Who the hell are you?
:'''Methos''': A man who was born long before the age of chivalry. Pick it up.
:''[They fight]''
===Timeless [4.11] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': You really are a spoiled brat.
:'''Claudia Jardine''': I was a spoiled brat when we first met, but now... I'm a genius.
:'''Duncan''': Silly me, I forgot. ''(hands her a glass)'' Here. It's not poisoned, although I'm tempted.
:'''Claudia''': You know, just because you think you own me doesn't mean you can tell me how to live my life.
:'''Duncan''': I don't think I own you.
:'''Claudia''': Oh yes you do. If you hadn't paid for Juilliard, the Paris Conservatory, I would probably be stuck in some crummy lounge in Las Vegas doing my one millionth rendition of Proud Mary.
:'''Duncan''': Is this a thank you I'm hearing?
:'''Claudia''': I thank you by being brilliant.
:'''Duncan''': She said modestly.
----
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Excuse me, if I sat at a table, would you be my waitress?
:'''Alexa Bond''': ''(to Joe)'' Is he a good tipper?
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe Dawson]]''': No.
:'''Alexa''': Well. Too bad. Makes up for it in cute, though.
:'''Methos''': Cute. I can do cute.
----
:'''Methos''': I'm, uh, Adam Pierson.
:'''Alexa''': Where are you from?
:'''Methos''': Umm...
:'''Alexa''': Your accent. Your not from here.
:'''Methos''': No, I've traveled a lot.
:'''Alexa''': Really?!?! Paris?
:'''Methos''': Paris is too full of Parisians. Even the French don't like Paris.
:'''Alexa''': Venice?
:'''Methos''': Venice, the smell alone would kill you.
:'''Alexa''': A little young to be so cynical, aren't you?
:'''Methos''': Well, if you say so.
:'''Alexa''': I just did. ''(leaves)''
:'''Methos''': What did I say?
:'''Joe''': Ah, forget it, Alexa's not your type, OK?
----
:''[Discussing Claudia]''
:'''Methos''': How long have you known her?
:'''Duncan''': Since she was 14. She was living with a foster family. Pretty poor, and intimidated that they had a prodigy in their midst.
:'''Methos''': And does she know...
:'''Duncan''': That she's one of us? Doesn't have a clue.
----
:''[Walter has been trying to kill her]''
:'''Duncan''': You're completely insane!
:'''Walter''': It makes so much sense, MacLeod! Don't read something diabolical into it.
:'''Duncan''': Immortality is not a game of tag. You can't say "you're it!" or "you're it!". It's not for us to decide when a mortal life is over.
:'''Walter''': But I must. If she doesn't die, now, at the pinnacle of her genius, it could be lost forever.
:'''Duncan''': You don't know that!
:'''Walter''': Ooh, Shakespeare. I found my purpose, MacLeod. Imagine, Claudia Jardine's talent living on through the ages... under my loving guidance.
:'''Duncan''': Walter, get a life!
:'''Walter''': Don't you see, she'll thank me. She will always be young, and beautiful, and passionate...
:'''Duncan''': ...and what happens when her fans see that she's not getting any older?
----
:'''Alexa''': Well... either you like to drink or you're crazy about the blues.
:'''Methos''': No, I was waiting for you... I see I leave you speechless, this is an excellent start.
:'''Alexa''': A start to what?
:'''Methos''': To... Dinner, a film, a concert, a smile, a sunset, a walk, all of the above, whatever you would like...
:'''Alexa''': Do women really fall for that line?
:'''Methos''': I have no idea, I've never used it before.
:'''Alexa''': .... Why do you want to go out with me?
:'''Methos''': Because the alternative is unthinkable.
----
:'''Alexa''': I'm dying. You see, don't you? We can't go out tomorrow.
:'''Methos''': Absolutely. We'd better make it tonight.
----
:'''Methos''': Where's Alexa? We have a date.
:'''Joe''': She called in sick.
:'''Methos''': Where does she live?
:'''Joe''': Adam, she doesn't want to see you, OK? Just leave her alone.
:'''Methos''': Joe, I didn't ask for your opinion. I know she's dying, OK. You are all dying. 20 years, 6 months, what's the difference?
:'''Joe''': She's protecting herself. She's protecting you, don't you get it?
:'''Methos''': Yes, I get it! Now tell me where she lives.
===Methuselah's Gift [4.16] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Amanda, you've lived for over a thousand years, how many times have you seen real magic?
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': MacLeod, I was an illiterate thief starving on the street before Rebecca found me and made me her student. This is all I have left of her. Magic or not, no-one's gonna take this from me!
----
:'''Duncan''': There is no way Methos sent those men, not a chance!
:'''Amanda''': Why not? It's perfect. It's wily, it's devious, it's... just like him.
----
:'''Duncan''': Why are you doing this? You've lived this long without it, why do you need it now?
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Alexa... she's in hospital in Geneva, she doesn't have long.
:'''Duncan''': You knew it had to be this way.
:'''Methos''': Yeah, from the first moment I saw her. Is, is that supposed to make it easier? Is that supposed to make it OK?
----
:'''Methos''': You understand nothing. Three weeks ago, we were standing on a beach on Santorini, watching the sun rise on the Mediterranean. Now she is lying in a hospital in Switzerland breathing through a tube! ... You think it takes courage to do what we do? Face another Immortal with a sword, knowing only one of you will live? You try being her! You try living one year, knowing that your time is running out. Knowing that when it comes to the final fight, however much you train, whatever tricks you have, you still lose! That's the way it is for them. So little time for them to see anything or do anything.
----
:'''Methos''': My flight back to Geneva leaves at 10. She'll never know how close I came.
:'''Duncan''': She'll know how much you love her.
:'''Methos''': As much as I can for as long as she lives.
===The Immortal Cimoli [4.17] ===
:''[At the circus]''
:'''[[w:Amanda (Highlander)|Amanda]]''': How can you not be excited, MacLeod? Just the smell of sawdust, popcorn and cotton candy. This makes me feel like a kid! Oh, isn't it exciting! I mean the sights, the sounds, the carnies!
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': The wonderful smell of wet fur. Low pay, rotten hours, sleeping in trucks.
----
:'''Danny Cimoli''': Sorry, no more autographs, I've got a monster headache.
:'''Duncan''': I don't want an autograph, and that's not a headache. We need to talk about who you are.
:'''Danny''': ''(laughs)'' Like the poster says, I'm The Immortal Cimoli!
:'''Duncan''': Ah, the Immortal Cimoli!
:'''Amanda''': He's got that part figured out.
:'''Duncan''': Listen to me. That headache that you got, all of us get it. It's how we know another one of us is around.
:'''Danny''': Ah... look, Mister, I don't know what you're talking about...
:'''Duncan''': ... you died recently, a robbery or an accident or something? But you didn't stay dead, did you?
:'''Danny''': How did you know?
:'''Duncan''': Because it happened to me. Four hundred years ago.
:'''Amanda''': We should talk.
----
:'''Danny''': Ever since the truck hit me, I've thought, this can't last, one day it's going to end, bang, I won't get up. But if it lasts forever, I can do any trick. Anything, and I wont die! I'll be bigger than Houdini.
:'''Duncan''': Sit down. Sit down! This isn't some trick for some magic act!
----
:''[They are in bed together]''
:'''Amanda''': MacLeod, you awake? What are you thinking about?
:'''Duncan''': Umm, Danny.
:'''Amanda''': Must be losing my touch.
:'''Duncan''': No, you're not losing your touch!
:''[They snuggle]''
:'''Duncan''': What are you thinking about?
:'''Amanda''': Moscow.
:'''Duncan''': I must be losing my touch.
----
:'''Danny''': The hell with the Rules, and the hell with the Game. I want out.
:'''Amanda''': Sorry, Danny, but that's not an option.
----
:'''Duncan''': Houdini was a friend of mine, and you, Danny, are no Houdini.
===Till Death [4.20] ===
:''[Flashback to 1696]''
:'''Robert''': Well, well, well, what have we here, mice in the parlor. And Immortal mice at that.
:'''[[w:Hugh Fitzcairn|Hugh Fitzcairn]]''': I told you there was another way in. Didn't I tell you?
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan MacLeod]]''': Be quiet! I'd be careful who I called a mouse, especially if I was a rat.
:'''Robert''': ''(gazing at Gina)'' If you're a thief, I've never seen a comlier one.
:'''Duncan''': You're the thief, we're just protecting her assets.
:'''Robert''': And they are wonderful assets.
:'''Fitzcairn''': If you please sir! A gentleman does not address a lady in that manner! I'll have his head!
:'''Duncan''': Ah, don't be ridiculous. You being dead would probably put her off her appetite.
----
:''[Flashback to 1696]''
:'''Fitzcairn''': La-la, la-la-la-la-la!
:'''Duncan''': You know, when I heard that voice I said to myself, "That must be Fitzcairn - either that or a dog in heat."
----
:''[At Robert and Gina's wedding (1696)]''
:'''Fitzcairn''': You realize, none of this would have happened if she had come to the opera with me that night.
:'''Duncan''': No, she would have seen you for the raving lunatic you are and she would have been with me.
:'''Fitzcairn''': I should have asked her to marry me while I still had the chance.
:'''Duncan''': You, married? You couldn't stay faithful to a woman for what, more than one hour?
:'''Fitzcairn''': Well I would have given it a fair try.
----
:'''Gina''': Maybe we are not meant to spend three centuries together. I mean, who mates for life? Swans? Geese? Lobster?
----
:'''Duncan''': Don't you want to see Robert and Gina live happily ever after?
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Yeah, but I want to see me live happily ever after even more.
----
:'''Methos''': I knew it, I knew it! Getting between a married couple. It's a rule I haven't broken for two thousand years. I knew this would happen.
:'''Duncan''': She'll cool off, I'm just telling you to be careful, that's all.
:'''Methos''': Great, so I lose my head after five thousand years so that you can play marriage guidance counselor. I must have been out of my mind!
== Season Five ==
===Prophecy [5.1] ===
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': Honey, I'm home.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': So how did you find me? Witchcraft?
:'''[[w:Cassandra (Highlander)|Cassandra ]]''': Why bother? It's the twentieth century. I used a detective agency.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Like you said, this is the twentieth century. I left prophecies behind with the witches and the fairies.
:'''Cassandra ''': Duncan, listen to me. The prophecy tells of a Highland foundling born on the winter solstice who passes through darkness into light and survives to challenge the voice of death.
:'''Duncan''': Really? Is this before or after I slay the dragon?
<hr width="50%"/>
''[Roland Kantos arrives, points his sword at Duncan]''
:'''Duncan''': I guess he doesn't like me.
:'''Cassandra ''': We've got to leave, now! ''[Duncan starts walking towards Roland]'' What are you doing?
:'''Duncan''': I guess asking him to dance is out of the question.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Roland''': The signs for the prophecy are all in place. You're all that stands in my way. Or don't you believe in signs?
:'''Duncan''': Oh no I believe in signs. Don't litter, don't step on the grass, no spitting.
:'''Roland''': I prefer rest in peace.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Power or no power, this is holy ground, he can't harm us here.
:'''Cassandra ''': And none of us can avoid our fate. "An evil one will come to vanquish all before him. Only a Highland child, born on the winter solstice, who has seen both darkness and light, can stop him. A child and a man."
:'''Duncan''': We make our own destinies. Nothing is written.
===The End of Innocence [5.2] ===
''[To Joe]''
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': I'm an Immortal, you're a Watcher. We can't cross that line. How many times do we have to be taught that?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie]]''': That's the way it is, isn't it? -- get them before they get you. I've been practicing. Next time you pull a sword on me, it won't be so easy.
:'''Duncan''': Richie, I'd like to take back what happened, but I can't. But what you're doing is wrong and you know that, don't you?
:'''Richie''': Thanks for the tip.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': I know who I am. I've been a Watcher for more than twenty-five years. It's as much a part of me as your clan MacLeod is to you.
:'''Duncan''': Then for once, keep your vow. Don't interfere.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': What good is philosophy in a fight?
:'''Graham Ashe''': We fight to stay alive -- don't forget to live. Imagine what you can see in a thousand years. Imagine what you can do. It's all there for us, Duncan, because we are blessed. Blessed beyond reason with the gift of eternal life. And every year brings something new -- a new vintage, a new fighting move... or a new pattern of flowers on an Italian hillside. Open your eyes and see it. Cherish it
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Richie''': Look Mac, if the bail comes with a lecture I'd just as soon wait it out in a cell.
:'''Duncan''': The guy who's after you. Haresh Clay.
:'''Richie''': What about him?
:'''Duncan''': I've met him once before.
:'''Richie''': Then how come you're both still alive?

:'''Duncan''': You're out of the Watchers?
:'''Joe''': Maybe it's too late... or maybe it's about time. Like Mrs. Wischnoff used to say in my old neighbourhood -- Meit ein tuchas can Meir nisht danzen a tsvai hossannas.
:'''Duncan''': Yeah - With one ass, a man can't dance at two weddings.
:'''Joe''': You know you were right. I couldn't be both your Watcher and your friend.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': For thousands of years Immortals have fought and Watchers have observed. One day, there will only be one of us left. And some day maybe none at all. Somebody has to record that we've lived. Somebody has to record the history we've seen and the lessons we've learned.
===Manhunt [5.3] ===
:'''Detective Frayne''': You're the serial killer guy?
:'''Matthew McCormick''': Among other things. The "serial killer guy" will do.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Matthew McCormick''': ''[referring to a slinky]'' You know what I like about these? If you had enough stairs, they'd just go on forever.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': Unless they're stopped.
:'''Matthew McCormick''': Kinda like us.
:'''Duncan''': No, just like us.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''[[w:Carl Robinson (Highlander)|Carl]]''': It's freezin' in there.
:'''Duncan''': Well yeah, It's the morgue. At least you're still fresh.
:'''Carl''': You know, you're real funny, MacLeod. Hey, who picked out these clothes anyway? Your mother?
:'''Duncan''': ''[to Matthew]'' You should have killed him.
===The Valkyrie [5.10] ===
:'''Inspector Breslaw''': Are you a writer of fiction, Mr. MacLeod? ''(No)'' ... That's a shame. Possessed of such an imagination, it seems a shame to squander your talents on my humble self.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': If I could help you, Inspector, I would.
:'''Breslaw''': Would you? Let's review, shall we? You just happen to be here when they are setting up for the Wilkinson speech.
:'''Duncan''': No, I was here the day before for a boxing match, and I was...
:'''Breslaw''': ...A woman you have never seen before has a gun. You take the gun away from her. Then she screams you have a gun, and runs away leaving you holding the weapon. Do I understand correctly so far?
:'''Duncan''': I know how it sounds...
----
:'''Duncan''': So what Breslaw was saying about the murders was true?
:'''Ingrid''': They weren't murders. They were assassinations. There's a difference.
:'''Duncan''': The end result is the same.
:'''Ingrid''': Yes, but some people deserve to die. That's the difference.
----
:'''Duncan''': You mind telling me what you find funny about this?
:'''[[w:Methos|Methos]]''': Not exactly funny, but pretty entertaining, yeah.
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe Dawson]]''': Just what is so entertaining?
:'''Methos''': MacLeod tussling with another of his moral dilemmas.
:'''Duncan''': You know there are times I really don't like you.
:'''Methos''': That's OK, sometimes I don't like myself.
:'''Joe''': I see. Ingrid Henning.
:'''Methos''': Hey, ask Joe about her.
:'''Duncan''': I don't have to ask Joe about her. I know about her. She failed to kill Hitler in '44 and she's been making up for it ever since.
----
:'''Methos''': It is the ultimate in arrogance to think that one person can alter the course of history.
:'''Duncan''': You can't deny that by killing Hitler in '44, thousands of lives would have been saved, maybe millions.
:'''Methos''': Yeah, and if you'd killed him in '43 like Rommel wanted, maybe Germany would have won the war. ... History makes men, MacLeod, men don't make history.
----
:'''Breslaw''': What is she to you? A lover? A relation, perhaps? Or just an old friend? Old friends are the worst. They claim more of your soul.
:'''Duncan''': I don't agree with what Ingrid's done.
:'''Breslaw''': But part of you understands it, yes?
----
:'''Breslaw''': Your lawyer is here, and since I'm not going to charge you, goodbye.
:'''Duncan''': My lawyer? This I've got to see.
:'''Methos''': Officers... Well, that worked pretty well.
:'''Duncan''': Since when are you my attorney?
:'''Methos''': Whatever you need. Lawyer, doctor, Indian chief, I've got paperwork to cover it all.
----
:''[He shot Ingrid. They are getting drunk.]''
:'''Breslaw''': Never gets any easier ... the killing I mean.
:'''Duncan''': Maybe it's not supposed to.
:'''Breslaw''': Maybe if I die a little tonight ... it will even things out between me and God.
:'''Duncan''': I hear Wilkinson's speech is back on for tomorrow night.
:'''Breslaw''': This time he is on his own. When I was a little boy everything was black and white, good and evil, you see. Then I grew up and discovered that there was only gray. I'm sorry I had to kill your friend.
:'''Duncan''': The Ingrid I knew I'll never forget. But the one you killed, I don't even know who she was. You did what you had to do.
:'''Breslaw''': But was I right? If this fascist scum Wilkinson becomes your President in the next 5 or 10 years, how am I going to sleep at night?
:'''Duncan''': I would have made the same choice.
----
:'''Duncan''': Ingrid asked me something before she died.
:'''Methos''': They usually do.
:'''Duncan''': She said, what was the difference between her killing them and me killing her.
:'''Methos''': Good question, right up there with chicken and egg.
:'''Duncan''': So what you're saying is there is no answer?
:'''Methos''': No, there is an answer. But the real question is whether you're ready for it. ''(Duncan nods)'' Stephanovitch killed, and Ingrid judged him. Wilkinson killed, and Ingrid judged him. Ingrid killed, and you judged her.
:'''Duncan''': So who judges me?
:'''Methos''': ''(long pause)'' You hungry?

===Avatar [6.1] ===
''[At Richie's grave. The headstone reads RICHIE RYAN -- 22 YEARS -- FRIEND]''
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': I guess it's just you and me Richie. I can't believe it's been a year already. I wish I could tell you why this happened. That it all makes sense now...But I can't. I'm sorry.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': He knows why.
:'''Joe''': Well, welcome back.
:'''Duncan''': I'm glad you stayed in Paris.
:'''Joe''': Somebody had to. ''[pause]'' I buried him with his sword. I didn't know what else to put on the headstone... It seemed right.
:'''Duncan''': 'Friend' is good. Because that's what he was.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': When Richie died, I wanted to die. But I realized that if his death was to mean anything, I had to survive... I had to understand what happened. I had to believe what happened.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Joe''': But how to we beat something with the power of life and death?
:'''Duncan''': Because we have to, Joe. Because there is no one else.
:'''Joe''': What the hell.
:'''Duncan''': Exactly.
===Armageddon [6.2] ===
''[Ahriman disguised as Horton; referring to a snake]''
:'''[[w:James Horton|Horton]]''': Somewhat theatrical, I agree. A thousand years ago it would have been enough to have caused a panic in the streets.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': What do you want?
:'''Horton''': But this is the scientific age. People don't believe in demons and devils anymore. And maybe that's my best trick yet. ''[on laptop screen]'' All that technology...So much useless information... It's almost a sin to want to know so much.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': We went back to the archives. The symbol turned up in the writings of an ancient German mystic. To him it was a force of hate that could only be defeated by love.
:'''[[w:Joe Dawson|Joe]]''': Fine for Gandhi. But what about us? What else did he say?
:'''Duncan''': Nothing. Seems he died before he could finish his memoirs.
:'''Joe''': That's great. So what do we do, sit and contemplate our navels while the world goes to hell?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Game's over. Your time is up.
:'''Ahriman''': No gun. No sword. How are you going to fight me? Are you going to huff and puff and blow my house down?
:'''Duncan''': I become one with everything. I become one with you.
:'''Ahriman''': Too bad you didn't think of that before you killed Richie.
:'''Duncan''': I become everything. Therefore I become nothing.
:'''Ahriman''': C'mon, be a man. I dare you!
:'''Duncan''': Therefore you are nothing. Without my anger, you have no substance. Without my pride, you have no form. Without my hate... you - have - no - being.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': Evil exist in all of us, Joe. When we deny that, we give evil power. Ahriman said it himself. His greatest trick was to convince the world he didn't exist. But, he does, he exists in all of us. Once I accepted that, I was able to defeat him.
===Sins of the Father [6.3] ===
:'''Alex Raven''': MacLeod, you're like a bad penny.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Alex Raven''': We've gotta stop meeting like this.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': Then you've gotta stop trying to blow up my friends.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': So there is no Russian Mafia.
:'''Grant''': Sure there is...somewhere.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duncan''': We rewrite our history all the time because we have to. We rationalize our cruelty. So we can look in the mirror and face ourselves.
===Two of Hearts [6.10] ===
:'''Kate''': Have you ever heard of the Kama Sutra?
:'''Nick''': Yeah, you read it?
:'''Kate''': Read it? I modeled for the drawings.
----
:'''Nick''': Who is he?
:'''Kate''': You don't need to know.
:'''Nick''': Who is he, Kate?
:'''Kate''': His name is Bartholemew.
:'''Nick''': Wait, let me guess. You've been searching for him for a zillion years and now that you've found him, your gonna have to kill him. How am I doing here?
:'''Kate''': Don't do that.
:'''Nick''': What?
:'''Kate''': Piss on something you don't understand.
----
:'''Nick''': I say we get a line on the money first.
:'''Kate''': No, I don't want his money, I want his head.
:'''Nick''': That's very big of you. I wonder if that's what the kids want. You know, the one's he stealing from.
:'''Kate''': I hate you.
:'''Nick''': That money could feed a lot of babies. But, if you want to kill him, kill him.
:'''Kate''': I really hate you.
----
:'''Kate''': Look, I'm sorry I'm Immortal, Nick, there's nothing I can do about it.
:'''Nick''': Now you're getting irrational.
:'''Kate''': Tell me it doesn't drive you crazy, that I can't die and you can.
:'''Nick''': I don't believe this! I mean, first you lie to me, and then when things don't work out you lay this on me.
:'''Kate''': Look, you knew what I was when we met. You know the Game, you know the Rules.
:'''Nick''': And you know me, Kate. Am I the type of guy whose going to sit on his ass and let you walk off and maybe get whacked? Tell me Kate, is that who you ever thought I was?
:'''Kate''': No.
:'''Nick''': How the hell did we happen?
:'''Kate''': I didn't know we were going to happen. I didn't know I was going to fall in love with you. Nick, the part of my life that has to do with being Immortal has nothing to do with you. It can't.
:'''Nick''': Katherine, I'm either in your life, all of it, or I'm gone.
===Patient Number 7 [6.5] ===
:'''Kyra''': Why should I trust you? Give me a reason, give me one good reason.
:'''[[w:Duncan MacLeod|Duncan]]''': Because there is no one else.
----
:''[Flashback to 1640, a tavern]''
:'''Gaston''': You've forgotten what it's like to be a woman. I think you need a real man to remind you.
:'''Kyra''': What men? All I see are a pair of miserable toads who work for the bastard Richelieu.
:'''Gaston''': Cardinal Richelieu does the work of God!
:'''Kyra''': Somehow I doubt God spends much of his time in the sewers of France. Tell me, is it true Richelieu has syphilis? Because if so, that's quite an accomplishment for a eunuch. Well, maybe he's not a eunuch, but you know, I hear it's, um... ''(points to the end of her little finger)''
:''[They fight. She wins.]''
----
:''[Flashback to 1640, an inn]''
:''[They are sharing a bed, under strictly honorable circumstances]''
:'''Kyra''': I've never met a Scotsman before. Tell me, are they well armed?
:'''Duncan''': Ah-hem. What exactly do you mean?
:'''Kyra''': I mean their swords, of course. What did you think I meant?
:'''Duncan''': Oh, well, your French toad stabbers, they're fine for some, but they're kind of puny.
:'''Kyra''': You think them small?
:'''Duncan''': Och! They're hardly worth your while. Now a Scotsman's weapon, that's another matter. Once it gets going there's nothing that can stop it.
:'''Kyra''': Really?
:'''Duncan''': Aye. Two hands to hold the thing. I doubt you could even hold it.
:'''Kyra''': Surely you exaggerate.
:'''Duncan''': No, not a wee bit. Come to Scotland and I'll show you.
:'''Kyra''': Scotland?
:'''Duncan''': You dinna think I could bring it in here did you? I mean the bloody thing wouldn't fit through the door.
:'''Kyra''': Oh. Oh, you mean your sword.
:'''Duncan''': A claymore, of course. What did you think I meant?
----
:''[Taunting a bad guy]''
:'''Kyra''': Looking for me? Mine's a .44. Modified. Go right through you. Probably kill your partner too.... Of course, I'm only a girl. Might lose my nerve. Might even miss. ''(BANG)'' But not this time.
----
:'''Duncan''': After the trial, the chief judge was murdered. Albright...
:'''Kyra''': Richard. Richard was his name. Did you ever meet someone truly good, MacLeod? Someone who didn't want money, or power, or, or glory? Somebody beyond temptation and corruption?
:'''Duncan''': You were his bodyguard.
:'''Kyra''': I did a hell of a job, didn't I?
:'''Duncan''': And there's more?
:'''Kyra''': That's how it started. God, I loved him. Richard believed, MacLeod, believed like, like nobody I've ever met before. Justice, compassion. They were his Gods. Being with him was like being inside a warm, bright light. For 10 years, MacLeod. I wanted it never to stop. And then somebody stopped it. Do you know what that feels like?

{{center|'''Meet Fievel. In his search to find his family, he discovered America.'''}}
==Fievel Mousekewitz==
* Papa!
* But there are no cats in America. What are you all afraid of? Cats, cats, cats, cats. Papa told me. Everyone knows it. There are no cats.
* ''[to Gussie]'' He's not a rat. He's a cat. He's their boss!
* You're right, they don't care! And if they did, they would have found me. Well, if they don't care, I don't care! I don't care if I never see them again.
* I'll never find them again anyway. Never. This is my home now.
==Tiger==
* I'm your guard, Tiger. Don't make any sudden moves, 'cause I'm crafty and I'm quick. I've got the instincts of a cat. What am I saying? I ''am'' a cat!
* You lost your family? Oh, dear. That's terrible. I lost my family, too. Years ago, I mean. ''[sobs]'' Eight brothers. Ten sisters. Three fathers.
* Listen... I like mice- ''[Fievel cries]'' Oh, no. Not like that. You see, I don't eat red meat at all. I'm a vegetarian. Oh, a little fish now and then, but what I really like is a nice piece of... shh... broccoli.
* ''[after Warren fires him]'' Good. I'm glad. I never liked you. And besides, your music stinks!
==Tony Toponi==
* Hey, Filly! I been lookin' all over for ya! ''[chuckles]'' Pardon the expression, but ah, you look like somethin' the cat dragged in. ''[chuckles again]''
* Stick with me, kid. ''[Fievel holds on tightly to Tony's arm]'' Hey, hey, hey! What, are we engaged or something?
==Warren T. Rat==
* Remember what Shakespeare said, and I quote: "Opportunity knocks but...er, but..err... but... but... but once! Taken at the tide, 'twill lead to fortune. If denied, 'twill never return".
* ''[After his false nose has been shot off by Tony]'' Disregard the nose! What's in a nose? For a nose by any other name would smell as sweet-''[Tony knocks off his false ears]''
* Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, wait a minute! Who are you gonna believe? Me or your own eyes?
* Don't worry, gentlemen, don't worry. There are plenty of mice in Hong Kong.
* Hey, I wonder how you say "trust me" in Chinese.
==Tanya Mousekewitz==
* Papa, why'd they change my name to Tilly?
==Papa Mousekewitz==
* Fievel, this is the last time I take you to America.
* We'll be alright. As long as we're together, we'll be alright.
* Ah, so, Mr. Curious, you've discovered the herring.
* Fievel, you'll get hurt!
* FIEVEL!!!
* My Fievel. I thought I would never see you again.
* My son. Now... you are a mouse.
==Bridget==
* This is America! We have free speech! We can say "cat" here! Cat, cat, cat, and double-cat!
* Wait a minute! Honest John, at Tammany Hall.
==Gussie Mausheimer==
[Heavy German accent, scarcely says "R" or "L" - spelling is intentional to show the sounds she makes]
* Today was the wowst day evewr. Those cats are kiwwing eveweone. They don't even know the diffewences between wich and power! The wetches.
* As you know, I have dedicated my wife to hewping those who awe wess fowtunate than myself....er, that's evewyone. And now, I need you to hewp me.
* We must have a wawwy. You know, a wawwy. A warge gathewing of mice fow a weason.

* Wawwen, you'we thwough. Washed up, wuined! Heh... You'ww never get another cent fwom any mouse, anywhere.
* Wewease the secwet weapon!
==Honest John==
* ''[At the wake of Mickey O'Hare - he is rather intoxicated]'' Poor lad. So young. He never had a chance to vote. Well, he'll vote from now on. I'll see to that. ''[Shakily writes Mickey's name on a notebook under "Ghost Votes"]''
==Henri==
* Qu'est-ce que c'est? A little immigrant. Now they are coming by bottle.
* This is just an island at the doorway where I, Henri Le Pigeon, am putting up my [[w:Statue of Liberty|Statue of Liberty]].
* Now, are you ready to go and find your family?
* Never say "never".

:'''Papa''': For Tanya, a new babushka. Happy Hanukkah.

:''[Warren is playing the violin]''
:'''Warren''': Rats! This nose, this nose keeps getting in the way.
:'''Digit''': You could stop playing.
:'''Warren''': That's funny. I've never known a cockroach with good taste, but I've known plenty that taste... ''[laughs evilly]'' ...good.
:'''Digit''': ''[nervously]'' Heh-heh. Play, play, play!
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Henri''': Where is your Papa, your Mama, huh?
:'''Fievel''': I don't know. They were on a boat to America.
:'''Henri''': Then you are in luck, my little immigrant. This is America.
:'''Fievel''': America. But I thought it was bigger.
:'''Henri''': Oh, it is bigger. All of that is also America.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Henri''': I know, my little immigrant. You want to find your family. And you will.
:'''Fievel''': But how? They're so far away, and it's so big. I'll never find them anyway.
:'''Henri''': ''J'me excuse pardonnez'', but did you say never? So young, and you've already lost hope! This is America, the place to find hope. If you give up now, you will never find your family. So never say never.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Fievel''': ''[stops in front of other passengers]'' Look Papa, water. Is it the ocean?
:'''Papa''': Yes. Keep walking.
:'''Fievel''': ''[the passenger right behind Fievel ushers him to continue walking, but he stops again]'' Look Papa, smoke. Is the boat on fire?
:'''Papa''': ''[slightly annoyed]'' No no no! Keep walking!
:'''Fievel''': ''[is ushered again by the same passenger; once again, he stops, but this time, he is knocked off the rope, but hangs onto Papa's tail]'' Look Papa, birds! Are they seagulls?
:'''Seagulls''': Keep walking!!
:'''Papa''': ''[pulls Fievel back up onto the rope in front of him with his violin bow]'' Keep walking!
:'''Passengers''' ''[piling through Papa: to Fievel]'' '''KEEP WALKING!!!'''
:'''Fievel''': I just wanted to see.
:'''Papa''': ''[sighs]'' Fievel, this is the last time I take you to America.
:'''Fievel''': ''[looks back and waves]'' Buh-bye!
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Henri''': Now, are you ready to go find your family?
:'''Fievel''': Yes!
:'''Henri''': Chantal! Take my little friend to Immigration. You will find your family there. Everyone goes through Immigration. I would take you there myself, but then I would never finish my statue.
:'''Fievel''': ''[amused]'' Henri, you said "never"!
:'''Henri''': Oh, so I did!
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Fievel''': I'm looking for my family.
:'''Warren''': Hey, you've come to the right fella, kid. I know exactly where they are. Follow me.
:'''Fievel''': But Henri said I would find them here.
:'''Warren''': Have it your way, kid. But remember what Shakespeare said, and I quote: "Opportunity knocks but... uh, but...”
:'''Digit''': Psst! Once.
:'''Warren''': "... but-but-but once! Taken at the tide, t'will lead to fortune. If denied, t'will never return".
:'''Fievel''': Do you really know where my family is?
:'''Warren''': Heh-heh. Trust me, kid, trust me.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Papa''': Ah, so, Mr. Curious, you've discovered the herring.
:'''Fievel''': Herring? I thought they were fish.
:'''Papa''': ''[laughs]'' But, Fievel, herring are fish.
:'''Fievel''': Really, Papa?
:'''Papa''': Oh, yes. In the ocean, there are many kinds of fish, and herring is one of them.
:'''Fievel''': All kinds?
:'''Papa''': Yes. Tiny fishes, not so tiny fishes, fishes as big as this boat.
:'''Fievel''': Wow! Let's go up and see the fish!
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Tiger''': I like butterflies with big, golden wings, and blue and green tips.
:'''Fievel''': Me, too!
:'''Tiger''': Yeah? I like Swiss cheese ice cream.
:'''Fievel''': Me, too! Me, too!
:'''Tiger''': You too-too? Hmmmmm. Wait a minute. What's your favorite book?
:'''Fievel''': Uh, ''[[w:The Brothers Karamazov|The Brothers Karamousov]]''.
:'''Tiger''': ''The Brothers...'' ''[laughs]'' I can't believe it! I can't believe it!
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Mama''': Well, Mr. There-Are-No-''Whats''-In-America? Hmm?
:'''Papa''': Cats. ''[laughs sheepishly]''
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Digit''': Would you please put out that filthy thing? I'm suffocating down here!
:'''Warren''': You don't like it? Hey, you know you're not the only cockroach in New York City. There are millions of roaches who give their left feet to work for Warren T. Rat.
:'''Digit''': Good! Fire me! I'm fed up with that filthy smoke in this pocket! I've seen kitchen shelves cleaner than this place! Look at my suit!
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Warren''': Tiger, how did he get away?!
:'''Tiger''': He overpowered me.
:'''Warren''': You're fired!
:'''Tiger''': Good. I'm glad. I never liked you! And besides, your music stinks!
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Papa''': In America, there are mouse holes in every wall.
:'''Mama''': Who says?
:'''Papa, Tanya, and Fievel''': Everyone!
:'''Papa''': In America, there are bread crumbs on every floor.
:'''Mama''': You're talking nonsense!
:'''Papa''': In America, you can say anything you want, but most important, ''[whispers]'' and this I know for a fact, in America, there are no cats.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Gussie''': We must have a wawwy.
:'''Honest John''': A wawwy? What's a wawwy?
:'''Gussie''': You know, a wawwy- A warge gathewing of mice for a weason.
:'''Honest John''': Oh, a rally!
:'''Gussie''': That's what I said! A wawwy.
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Warren''': Just throw down that kid!
:'''Tony''': Oh, yeah? ''[knocks off Warren's fake nose with his slingshot]'' Bullseye!
:''[the crowd murmurs]''
:'''Warren''': Disregard the nose. What's in a nose? A nose by any other name would smell as sweet-
:''[Tony knocks off Warren's fake ears]''
:'''Crowd''': Great whiskers! He's a cat! ''[other voices]'' Hey! A cat! A cat! Cat!
:'''Warren''': Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute. Who are you gonna believe? Me or your own eyes?
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Warren''': If music be the food of love, play on, McDuff, play on.
:'''Digit''': ''[miserably]'' I don't know which is worse, the music or the Shakespeare?

'''''[[w:The 99p Challenge|The 99p Challenge]]''''' was a [[w:BBC Radio 4|BBC Radio 4]] spoof panel show that ran for five series, from 1998 to 2004, hosted by [[w:Sue Perkins|Sue Perkins]]. It was closely based on a similar panel show called ''King Stupid'' that ran for one series in 1998, which was hosted by [[w:William Vandyck|William Vandyck]]. The shows writers were Kevin Cecil, Andy Riley, Jon Holmes and Tony Roche.
== ''King Stupid'' Episode 1 ==
:'''[[w:William Vandyck|William Vandyck]]''': Welcome to ''King Stupid'', the only show on Radio 4 that started 20 seconds ago. It's the comedy panel game that's known in Spain as ''El King Stupid'', known in Japan as ''Teenage Fighting Robot Shape-changer Atari Schoolgirl Panel Game'' and known in Germany as ''Answer All Questions Immediately''.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''William Vandyck''': So we can get to know a bit more about your tastes and aspirations, tell me, if you were an international baddie, where would you hide your secret base?<br />
:'''[[w:Peter Baynham|Peter Baynham]]''': I think I'd have my secret base in Pontypridd in South Wales, because I think it would give a much needed boost to the local economy. I could employ ex-miners to be my henchmen and presumably there'd be some sort of news report on BBC Wales. ''[speaks Welsh, then in Welsh accent]'' "massive missile pointed at America."<br />
:'''William Vandyck''': Right. And if you had a tank full of deadly animals to drop people in what animals would you have?<br />
:'''Peter Baynham:''' Poisonous cows, without a doubt.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''William Vandyck''': Simon, where would you hide your secret base, and what's in the tank?<br />
:'''[[w:Simon Pegg|Simon Pegg]]''': I'd have it in the Cotswolds. I'd disguise it as a massive cottage, about a mile high.<br />
:'''William Vandyck''': And what's in your tank Simon?<br />
:'''Simon Pegg''': I think I'd have to go for cats, William, because they can also be used as pets and they're nice, I like cats.<br />
:'''William Vandyck''': "Deadly" was obviously the word you didn't hear there.<br />
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''William Vandyck''': Sue, where would you hide your base and what would you put in the tank?<br />
:'''[[w:Sue Perkins|Sue Perkins]]''': I wouldn't have to hide my base, I'd just build it in Croydon. The thing about people from Croydon is that you can build anything wherever you like and they don't tend to take a lot of notice. In terms of animals I would have to say gerbils, a lady gerbil and a boy gerbil, and over a period of time they would breed, so that eventually the whole tank would be full of writhing gerbils and eventually two baby ones would make it up your nose and you'd suffocate. And I've thought about that quite a lot.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''William Vandyck''': If you were a baddie, where would you hide your base, and what goes in the tank?<br />
:'''[[w:Dave Green|Dave Green]]''': I think I'd hide my base in my lower intestine and visit it using the miniaturisation technology that as an evil genius I would have invented. And obviously then intruders would be naturally repelled by my body's defenses like phagocytes and white blood cells.<br />
<hr width="50%"/>
'''Rhyming Couplets'''
:'''William Vandyck''': In the first round I'd like you to make up rhyming couplets in order to remember important dates and facts, par example, "In fourteen-hundred and ninety two Columbus, sailed the ocean blue", or "In nineteen hundred and ninety seven, there were thirty two articles by Bernard Levin". Okay, you can confer, but bear in mind that you're competing against each other, so duh!<br />
:'''Peter Baynham''': In nineteen-hundred and ninety nine, the makers of ''Space 1999'' are going to look pretty bloody stupid.<br />
:'''Simon Pegg''': In fourteen-hundred and ninety two a lot of other things happened as well although we don't get to know about that which just goes to show that history is a construct devised of disparate, supposedly significant events designed to bolster the rigidity of the current dominant system, that being capitalism, doodely doodely doo.<br />
:'''Dave Green''': For every year as long as I can remember, Christmas has been at the end of December.<br />
:'''Peter Baynham''': In six they'd never heard of twix.<br />
:'''Sue Perkins''': In sixteen Jesus got his first BA Honours in carpentry.<br />
:'''Peter Baynham''': In nineteen hundred and ninety four, Jeffrey Archer did not give money to a whore.<br />
:'''Simon Pegg''': In nineteen hundred and eighty six I lost my virginity, hooray.<br />
:'''Sue Perkins''': Around about, I can't be specific so please don't write in, around about thirteen twenty eight, a horse managed to, accidentally I should point out, fall on Catherine the Great.<br />
:'''Simon Pegg''': In nineteen hundred and eighty nine I had sex for the second time. That was the rhyme.<br />
:'''Peter Baynham''': In nineteen hundred and ninety nine I'm going to have sex with a big equine.<br />
:'''Sue Perkins''': And back to Catherine the Great.<br />
:'''William Vandyck''': Any non equine sex related ones that we have?<br />
:'''Peter Baynham''': No.<br />
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''William Vandyck''': So Dave, you won that round. For a bonus point, can you tell me your PIN number?<br />
:'''Dave Green''': 1492.<br />
:'''William Vandyck''': Okay, thanks very much.<br />
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''William Vandyck''': It's time for our biographies round, I will describe myself as a character from history, and you have to determine my identity. Okay, you ready? Who am I? I was the ruler of France between 1799 and 1815. British soldiers knew<br />
:'''Sue Perkins''':''[Interrupting]'' Napoleon.<br />
:'''William Vandyck''': Sorry, shh. British Soldiers knew me by the nickname 'Boney'.<br />
:''[All panelists are now constantly interrupting with "Napoleon".]''<br />
:'''William Vandyck''': I haven't finished. I gave my name to Napoleon brandy, the Rune de Napoleon in Paris, I'm not listening, and the Napoleonic wars. My set of, shh, my set of laws for the French state was known as the 'Code Napoleon', I hail originally from Corsica, the home of Napoleon, and uh, shut up, and the psychiatric condition, shut up, known as 'The Napoleon complex' is named in my honour. Now if you think you know the answer, don't be afraid to take a guess now, you can buzz... ''[a buzzer is heard]'' now! ''[another buzzer is heard]'' Dave got there first.<br />
:'''Dave Green''': I think it was Napoleon Bonaparte.<br />
:'''William Vandyck''': I'll just check the card... yes it is Napoleon, two points to Dave!<br />
== ''The 99p Challenge'' Series 3, Episode 1 ==
:'''[[w:Armando Iannucci|Armando Iannucci]]''': "The thing is," said Harry, "if Slytherin is so bad, why don't you just abolish their house? You've got the power." "Ah," said Dumbledore, who hoped no one noticed he was played by a new actor, "that's not the point." Hermoine spoke, "All this magic is fun, but it's straying a long way from the national curriculum. What if OFSTED come?" "Well, er," said Dumbledore, fiddling with his owl, "can we stick to the point? You three must never go in the very special secret hall, which you'll obviously go in later, for that hall contains Voldemort's treasure: his 99p!"
<hr width="50%"/>
'''Newspaper Announcements'''
:'''Sue Perkins''': Open any newspaper, and what do you get? Ink all over your hands, and, if you read Richard Littlejohn, garbage all over your eyes. But let's assume we turn immediately to the announcements page, the births, marriages, deaths or simply announcements like "To Doctor David Banner, congratulations on finally becoming a hulk! You're incredible! Love Mum".
:'''Simon Pegg''': I saw in the back of the Hendon and Edgeware advertiser...
:'''Armando Iannucci''': ''[Laughs]'' This is ''[[w:The News Quiz|The News Quiz]]''.
:'''Simon Pegg''': I didn't know I was going to say that then. "Mr and Mrs Nicholas Braidwood would like to announce that their cat Harry has given birth to a litter of snakes. They're not proud but they feel it could be a sign."
:'''[[w:David Quantick|David Quantick]]''': A very sad announcement, "RIP Sparky the hamster, 2002 - 2003, in loving memory and thanks for leaving us £40 million. We don't know how you managed to amass all that money in the short, cage-confined ten months of your tiny little life, or indeed how you managed to write a will, but what the hell, we're not complaining. Now let's search the cat."
:'''[[w:Bill Bailey|Bill Bailey]]''': "I like trains. I'm not ashamed."
:'''Armando Iannucci''': A couple, "Births: [[w:Ann Widdecombe|Ms A. Widdecombe]] of Westminster is delighted to announce she has split in two to reproduce asexually." This one's a nice one actually, "Deaths: Mr Geoffrey Hubbard, 82, passed away quietly in a hurricane."
:'''Simon Pegg''': I saw this in the Crouch End Finger, "Baron Victor Von Frankenstein would like to announce the animation of his latest monstrosity, no name as yet, but there will be a party in the old windmill on the hill on Tuesday, bring a pitchfork."
:'''Armando Iannucci''': "Mary and James Humber are pleased to announce their daughter has split up from that dreadful busker."
:'''Bill Bailey''': "Hans Blix is on his way round. Put the bunnies in the hutch, put the bunnies in the hutch, SH."
:'''Amrando Iannucci''': "John Hurt and a facehugging alien would like to announce the birth of a baby daughter through John Hurt's stomach."
:'''Bill Bailey''': "Tesco are proud to announce a marriage of quality and value."
:'''David Quantick''': "Is your cat too small? We can make your cat bigger. Write to 'Making Small Cat Bigger, Hendon.'"
:'''Simon Pegg''': "Lose weight, sell your lungs."
:'''Armando Iannucci''': "Sidroysip Fertility Clinic are pleased to announce the birth of a baby boy to two of J Steps, Joan and Mary Naysmith and Ellen J Farrow. We'll be able to clarify which two when we go back through our paperwork."
:'''Bill Bailey''': "Troubled by paying too many beggars in the streets? Spread your beggar payments with direct debit. Or pay online at cupofteamyarse.com"
:'''Armando Iannucci''': I would like to consolidate all my gifts into one tramp.
:'''Bill Bailey''': You can do that.
:'''Simon Pegg''': Into one easy tramp.
== ''The 99p Challenge'' Series 4, Episode 4 ==
'''Celebrity Cash-in Videos'''
:'''Armando Iannucci''': David Attenborough's ''When Walruses Collapse''
:'''Nick Frost''': ''Cut Your Hair, The Brian May Way'' (Five copies sold)
:'''Marcus Brigstocke''': Has anyone seen ''Bomb Your Way To A Happier You, with Donald Rumsfeld''? It's very good. It's an easy-to-follow video. It will take you step-by-step through the first stages of carpet bombing suspicious-looking foreigners, and you will be amazed by Donald's Happy-Go-Lucky "Yes you can!" approach to self-esteem building through murder.
:'''Peter Baynham''': ''Ross Kemp's Heartbreaking Bottle-nosed Dolphin Birth Mishaps''. The former Eastenders star presents 2-hours of these beautiful, intelligent aquatic mammals developing complications during giving birth to their calves. Ross Kemp, over the top, very emotional, going "OH GOD, 'E'S ONLY JUST BEEN BORN!"
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Armando Iannucci''': Sad news, Your High-Hairedness, Sir Francis Drake's attempt to transport a sense of irony to America has failed.
<hr width="50%"/>
'''Survival Tips'''
:'''Armando Iannucci''': If you find yourself in an aeroplane that's lost all engine power and is hurtling from the sky, be sure to get up and walk around regularly to avoid deep vein thrombosis.
:'''Nick Frost''': One that I've learnt at an early age; Never drink a whole swimming pool.
:'''Armando Iannucci''': It is the one thing you should do if you can't swim and have fallen into a swimming pool.
:'''Peter Baynham''': You can always tell which way North is by throwing a stick in the air and saying "Hey there, Mr. Lucky Twig! Point the way for me!"
<hr width="50%"/>
'''Future Catchphrases'''
:'''Nick Frost''':
* "To the max, dude!"
* "Your computer's RAM capacity is laughable to me, you megahead!"
* "Take your hoverboots and dash, cred-snatcher!"
:'''Marcus Brigstocke''':
* "Yeah, your mum makes gravy for leopards."
:'''Armando Iannucci''':
* "Don't peck at my neck, swanface."
:'''Peter Baynham''':
* "Shame about Gatwick..."
<hr width="50%"/>
'''Speed Dating'''
:'''Marcus Brigstocke''':
* Oh, hey there. Are you aware that your name rhymes with "glue", "shoe", and "poo", whereas mine only rhymes with "carcass"?
* So where are you from? I'm from prison!
:'''Armando Iannucci''':
* I love European cinema. My favourite is ''Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo''.
* I love comedy as well. My favourites are anything in which Steve Martin plays a dad.
* Hey, you are the kind of baby-making machine I'm looking for. I wanna have at least 10. I don't want much involvement in the upbringing; that's ''your'' job.
* Can we just hold hands and thank Jesus for bringing us together?
:'''Peter Baynham''':
* HiSue.Gottapackinalot,obviously.Speeddating.SoI'veactuallytookthelibertyoftakingacoupleoflinesofspeedbeforeIactuallycamehere''WHYAREYOULOOKINGATME?!''

:'''Nick Frost''':
* I love you! Marry us!
* Don't you love the way a fresh box of ammunition smells?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Armando Iannucci''': I've just uncovered Kate Moss' skeleton... oh no, it's Kate Moss!
:'''Marcus Brigstocke''': Ah ha! A pot. ...Ooh! And another pot. ...oh look, a bit of pot. ...Wow, another pot- Is anyone else bored?
:'''Armando Iannucci''': This is interesting. We've just dug up a 40-year old telephone order for a Domino's Pizza... and we're in luck, because I can see the guy coming with it across the road.
:'''Nick Frost''': Hang on... I've found some mud! Oh? What's that? Some more mud?! Good God! This must be a buried mud supply which was never retrieved when they took all the other mud!
:'''Marcus Brigstocke''': Oh my God. I've just found the keys to Wales.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Nick Frost''': Ladies and gentlemen! Marvel at the fish-eating vegetarians! They eat a flapping animal with a head and a tail, yet they insist it's a vegetable!
:'''Peter Baynham''': ...Oh my God, it's the square dogs. Ladies and gentlemen, turn away boys and girls, 'cause it's distressing. Specially-bred, completely square dogs with no legs. Here they come, being brought in on forklift trucks driven around the ring. They're in a lot of distress. What kind of life must it be? Now the forklift truck drives up to the burning square hoop and pushes each one through and onto a wooden pallet. You may vomit.

== @Baratiiman and [[2026 Iran war]]. ==
<div class="cd-moveMark">''Moved from [[Wikiquote:Village pump#@Baratiiman and 2026 Iran war.]]. [[User:Codename Noreste|<span style="color:#0024FF">Codename Noreste</span>]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Codename Noreste|contribs]]) 22:07, 26 June 2026 (UTC)''</div>
@[[User:Baratiiman|Baratiiman]] is posting a lot of material on [[2026 Iran war]]. Although he has been a member since 2013 he seems incapable of following basic conventions like ordering by date, basic formatting and providing citiations. Many of his posts have been translated into English from Farsi even some of the English stuff looks like it has been double translated so it doesn't matched the sourced articles. He's flooding the [[2026 Iran war]] page with multiple entries per day and some of them have nothing to do with this topic. (just because Donald Trump says something doesn't mean it's about the Iran War). I have been cleaning up this page almost every day and it's still a mess, but with the frequency of changes, poor formattinng etc. it's simpler for me to just abandon it, which is a shame as it feels like an important subject. I noticed he (gender assumed) has been blocked indefinitely by several other projects, including in his own language. Some of his content is OK, nearly everything needs work though to bring into something half presentable. Perhaps there is some option to block or topic ban this account?

*Iran has informed the U.

[[User:Baratiiman|Baratiiman]] ([[User talk:Baratiiman|talk]]) 18:20, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
:Quotes need to be a) relevant, b) dated, c) attributed to a named source (ideally in English), d) added in the chronological order, e) formatted correctly with * and **. There's literally hundreds of examples to look at on this page alone to see how the formatting should be! It doesn't matter if it is an Iranian person, American person, etc. There is no agenda, other than to provide a list of quotes which tell a story. The main thing is someone can read from top to bottom and read the narrative as it happens. Most of your quotes are ok, albeit always badly formatted, or not quite the source text. A few are irrelevant and should be placed on another page (e.g. your last one "Over half of Democrats say they want to live in another country. Go. We can’t deport that many"), the Xi one (about Trump moving fast). The main issue is you dump all your quotes out of sequence at the top of the month, or the bottom of the month. I have to go through every one, fix the markup, then find the publication date (I have to use AI to translate the Farsi to even see the date) so that everything is roughly in the order it was published.
:So basically I either have to edit every post you put on, or just abandon the page and leave it to you. Nobody else will be able to edit or read it as it will end up completely unreadable with everything out of sequence and the formatting all over the place. If you were to put it on correctly in the first place I'd just skip over the irrelevant quotes, I have better things to do with my time than make editorial decisions about every quote you provide, so I would overlook the odd stray quote if everything else was ok. But as I have been wanting to add my own quotes I've had to correct what was there and literally move and format every single quote you have put on, just to clear the ground for some more.

== Repeat vandalism on The Mummy Returns ==
The same vandal that has repeatedly visited ''[[The Mummy Returns]]'' on Wikiquote, to make the same massive cut to the page's content, to leave the same captioned image, is back again, now the most active they've been since 2022. They are now using throwaway accounts, however, and not editing from an IP address like they were doing before.
I would like to ask that ''The Mummy Returns'' be placed under protected status again. Documentation of the incidents of vandalism and all usernames/IP addresses observed is available on the movie's discussion page. As far as I can tell, the same vandal has been at this since 2016, a full 10 years. [[User:AC9016|AC9016]] ([[User talk:AC9016|talk]]) 16:00, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
:{{Done|Protected}} indefinitely. --[[User:Saroj|Saroj]] ([[User talk:Saroj|talk]]) 16:24, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

==Greg Heffley==
* Let me just say for the record that I think middle school may be the dumbest idea ever invented.
* Thank God there are a few normal people or this place would be a total freak show.
* ''[after getting teased by Quentin]'' Right now, I have to take abuse from these morons. But in twenty years, Quentin here will be workin' for me.
* She's a girl! Where do I grab her?
==Rowley Jefferson==
*''hey greg wanna come over and play?
*So, wanna play ''Twisted Wizard''?
*''[repeated line]'' Zoo-wee-mama!
*Wow. Everyone knows me now. lt's like l'm famous!
==Chirag Gupta==
* ''[Sees Greg trying to touch the Cheese]'' STOP! Good God, man! You almost got the Cheese Touch.
* The Cheese Touch. Nobody knows when or how, but one day, that cheese mysteriously appeared on the blacktop. ''[Scene flashes forward to before the Cheese became moldy]'' Nobody knew who it belonged to. Nobody touched it, nobody threw it away. So there it sat, growing more foul and powerful by the day. And then, one day, a kid named Darren Walsh made the biggest mistake of his life. ''[Darren puts his finger on the Cheese]'' Darren had the Cheese Touch! It was worse than nuclear cooties. He became an outcast. ''[Darren cries in the hallway]'' The only way to get rid of the Cheese Touch was by passing it on to someone else. ''[Darren touches an unsuspecting girl, thus giving her the Cheese Touch]'' And so began the Cheese Touch frenzy! Friend turning on friend, brother turning on sister, it was madness! Until, a German exchange student named Dieter Müller took it away. Sadly for Dieter, that fact was lost in translation. Thankfully, he moved back to Düsseldorf, and took the Cheese Touch with him. ''[Flash forward to the present]'' And so the Cheese sits, patiently waiting for its next victim.
*This is a terrible place!
==Fregley==
*Hey, guys. Wanna see my secret freckle? Check it out, ''[singsong voice]'' it’s got a hair in it!
*I guess this is where all the cool guys hang out.
*Wanna have a tickle fight?
==Patty Farrell==
*''[grunts]'' Come on! What are you waiting for, huh? Don't be such a wuss, Heffley. Make your move!
*Come on, Greg Heffley! Stop ruining the play like you ruin everything else! Don't make me come over there and beat you up again!
*Can I wrestle with somebody Good Now?
==Angie Steadman==
*It's completely barbaric. This place is an intellectual wasteland, but it's nice to meet a person more interested in his mind than his body.
*You rejected the school paper, but you joined the Safety Patrol? Are you working your way down the evolutionary ladder?
*You know, Patty? One day you'll wake up and all the things you thought were important won't be anymore.
==Rodrick Heffley==
* So, look. Mom asked me to give you some advice about middle school. It's real simple: don't talk to anyone, don't ''look'' at anyone, don't go anywhere, don't sit down, don't raise your hand, don't go to the bathroom, don't get noticed, don't choose the wrong locker, don't... ''[sighs]'' Who am I kidding? You'll be dead or homeschooled by the end of the year anyway. ''[patting Greg's head]'' And don't be seen with Rowley.
* What did I tell you would happen if you ever went into my room again?
* It's the bass solo, Turd Burglar! Don't you know anything about music? Listen, I came here to get a new drumstick, and now Greg, since Mom and Dad are gone, I'm going to kill you. Literally kill you!
* ''[to Rowley]'' Beat it.
* What? ''[Greg run offs. Rowley holds onto to Rodrick's leg to stop him]'' Let go, baby hippo!
== Dialogue ==
:'''Greg Heffley''': OK, first of all, let me get something straight, this is a ''journal'', not a diary. Yeah, I know what it says on the cover, but when my mom went out to buy this thing, I specifically told her not to buy the thing that says "diary" on it. This just proves that Mom doesn't understand anything about kids my age.
:'''Bully''': Huh, Sissy! ''[punches Greg]''
:'''Greg''': The only reason why I agreed to write in this thing, is because one day, when I'm rich and famous, I'll have better things to do than answer people's stupid questions all day long.
:'''Reporter #1''': Gregory! Tell us about your childhood!
:'''Reporter #2''': Were you ''always'' so smart and handsome?
:'''Greg''': Here's my journal. Now shoo, shoo.
<hr width='50%'/>
:'''Bully''': Jerk.
:'''Greg''': Rowley, if you had to say what you were ranked in terms of popularity from 1 to 200, where would you put yourself?
:'''Rowley Jefferson''': Is 200 good or bad?
:'''Greg''': I'd say you're somewhere around the 154 mark. I'd put myself around number 19 or 20. I might even have a shot at the top spot by the end of the year. If things will go the way I think they will.
:'''Rowley''': Well, who's at the bottom?
:'''Fregley''': Hey, guys! You wanna see my secret freckle? ''[lifts up his shirt]''
:'''Greg & Rowley''': EEEWWW!
:'''Greg''': ''[narrating]'' Fregley, sent home for hygiene issues at least once a month.
:'''Fregley''': Check it out. It's got a hair in it!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Angie Steadman''': It all starts in middle school, y'know. You're not a kid anymore, the coddling's stopped. Kids aren't separated by intelligence. The weak are picked on. The girls you've known since kindergarten won't even talk to you anymore.
:'''Greg''': Okay, well it sounds like you've got it all figured out, so go back to your book.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Chirag Gupta''': STOP! Good God, man! You almost got the Cheese Touch!
:'''Greg''': The what?
:'''Chirag''': The Cheese Touch.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Angie''': Y'know, I like your point of view. You should sign up for the school paper. We are the voice of the people. Well, the people are mostly idiots so I guess technically speaking we're the voice of the people making fun of the people.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Greg''': We got to stay in this neighborhood the rest of the night.
:'''Rowley''': That guy gave two full-size Snickers!
:'''Greg''': Did I tell you or did I tell you? These people have money to burn. Can't believe we got this much candy. This is like the best day ever.
:'''Teenager''': Hey, reflector dude, nice costume!
:'''Rowley''': Thanks! My mom made it...
:''[Suddenly, the teenager in the back of the truck sprays a fire extinguister in Greg and Rowley's face]''
:'''Greg''': I saw your plates! We're calling the cops! ''[Teenagers' truck stops and starts to back up]'' Uh-oh.
:'''Rowley''': Oh, boy.
:'''Greg''': RUN!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Rowley''': Remember that secret language we made up last week?
:''[Flashback]''
:'''Greg''': ''[to Rowley, through walkie-talkie]'' Your-pa dad-pa smells-pa like-pa a woman-pa. ''[Greg and Rowley laugh, as Rowley's dad glares at them appalled]''
:''[Present]''
:'''Rowley''': I think he cracked our code.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Greg''': Fun?! That's the exact opposite of fun! This entire year has been terrible and nobody even cares! My family, my best friend. Well, I'm sick of it. Somebody needs to pay!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Heffley garage, Rodrick and his bandmates are performing]''
:'''Susan''': ''[walks in; annoyed]'' Rodrick. Rodrick! I need to talk to you. Inside, now.
:''[Greg peeks from behind the door as he watches]''
:'''Rodrick''': Go ahead and talk. We're a band. We have no secrets.
:'''Susan''': Oh, okay. Fine. ''[holds up the magazine]'' What is this?
:'''Rodrick''': It's not mine.
:'''Susan''': It was in your backpack.
:'''Rodrick''': No, it was in my room.
:'''Susan''': ''[gives Rodrick a "Really?" look]'' Does owning this magazine make you a better person?
:'''Rodrick''': No.
:'''Susan''': Did it make you more popular at school?
:'''Rodrick''': ''[chuckles]'' Yes. No.
:'''Susan''': How do you feel about having owned this ''type'' of magazine?
:'''Rodrick''': Ashamed.
:'''Susan''': Do you have anything you wanna say to women for having owned this offensive magazine?
:'''Rodrick''': I'm sorry, women.
:''[His bandmates clap in applause]''
:'''Bandmate''': Yeah, women.
:'''Susan''': You're grounded…for two weeks.
:''[Greg smiles in satisfaction and leaves to his room]''
:'''Rodrick''': Okay, settle down, Susan. I think one week is plenty.
:'''Susan''': Make it four weeks, and I'm gonna need the keys to your van.
:'''Rodrick''': ''[shocked through gritted teeth]'' My van?!

* ''[Sees Greg trying to touch the Cheese]'' STOP! Good God, man! You almost got the Cheese Touch.
* The Cheese Touch. Nobody knows when or how, but one day, that cheese mysteriously appeared on the blacktop. ''[Scene flashes forward to before the Cheese became moldy]'' Nobody knew who it belonged to. Nobody touched it, nobody threw it away. So there it sat, growing more foul and powerful by the day. And then, one day, a kid named Darren Walsh made the biggest mistake of his life. ''[Darren puts his finger on the Cheese]'' Darren had the Cheese Touch! It was worse than nuclear cooties. He became an outcast. ''[Darren cries in the hallway]'' The only way to get rid of the Cheese Touch was by passing it on to someone else. ''[Darren touches an unsuspecting girl, thus giving her the Cheese Touch]'' And so began the Cheese Touch frenzy! Friend turning on friend, brother turning on sister, it was madness! Until, a German exchange student named Dieter Müller took it away. Sadly for Dieter, that fact was lost in translation. Thankfully, he moved back to Düsseldorf, and took the Cheese Touch with him. ''[Flash forward to the present]'' And so the Cheese sits, patiently waiting for its next victim.
*This is a terrible place!
==Fregley==
*Hey, guys. Wanna see my secret freckle? Check it out, ''[singsong voice]'' it’s got a hair in it!
*I guess this is where all the cool guys hang out.
*Wanna have a tickle fight?
*''[voiceover from the note Greg finds]'' Dear Gregory, I'm very sorry I chased you with a booger on my finger. Here, I put it on this paper so you can get me back.
==Patty Farrell==
*''[grunts]'' Come on! What are you waiting for, huh? Don't be such a wuss, Heffley. Make your move!
*Come on, Greg Heffley! Stop ruining the play like you ruin everything else! Don't make me come over there and beat you up again!
*Can I wrestle with somebody Good Now?
==Angie Steadman==
*It's completely barbaric. This place is an intellectual wasteland, but it's nice to meet a person more interested in his mind than his body.
*You rejected the school paper, but you joined the Safety Patrol? Are you working your way down the evolutionary ladder?
*You know, Patty? One day you'll wake up and all the things you thought were important won't be anymore.
==Rodrick Heffley==
* So, look. Mom asked me to give you some advice about middle school. It's real simple: don't talk to anyone, don't ''look'' at anyone, don't go anywhere, don't sit down, don't raise your hand, don't go to the bathroom, don't get noticed, don't choose the wrong locker, don't... ''[sighs]'' Who am I kidding? You'll be dead or homeschooled by the end of the year anyway. ''[patting Greg's head]'' And don't be seen with Rowley.
* What did I tell you would happen if you ever went into my room again?
* It's the bass solo, Turd Burglar! Don't you know anything about music? Listen, I came here to get a new drumstick, and now Greg, since Mom and Dad are gone, I'm going to kill you. Literally kill you!
* ''[to Rowley]'' Beat it.
* What? ''[Greg run offs. Rowley holds onto to Rodrick's leg to stop him]'' Let go, baby hippo!
== Dialogue ==
:'''Greg Heffley''': OK, first of all, let me get something straight, this is a ''journal'', not a diary. Yeah, I know what it says on the cover, but when my mom went out to buy this thing, I specifically told her not to buy the thing that says "diary" on it. This just proves that Mom doesn't understand anything about kids my age.
:'''Bully''': Huh, Sissy! ''[punches Greg]''
:'''Greg''': The only reason why I agreed to write in this thing, is because one day, when I'm rich and famous, I'll have better things to do than answer people's stupid questions all day long.
:'''Reporter #1''': Gregory! Tell us about your childhood!
:'''Reporter #2''': Were you ''always'' so smart and handsome?
:'''Greg''': Here's my journal. Now shoo, shoo.
<hr width='50%'/>
:'''Bully''': Jerk.
:'''Greg''': Rowley, if you had to say what you were ranked in terms of popularity from 1 to 200, where would you put yourself?
:'''Rowley Jefferson''': Is 200 good or bad?
:'''Greg''': I'd say you're somewhere around the 154 mark. I'd put myself around number 19 or 20. I might even have a shot at the top spot by the end of the year. If things will go the way I think they will.
:'''Rowley''': Well, who's at the bottom?
:'''Fregley''': Hey, guys! You wanna see my secret freckle? ''[lifts up his shirt]''
:'''Greg & Rowley''': EEEWWW!
:'''Greg''': ''[narrating]'' Fregley, sent home for hygiene issues at least once a month.
:'''Fregley''': Check it out. It's got a hair in it!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Angie Steadman''': It all starts in middle school, y'know. You're not a kid anymore, the coddling's stopped. Kids aren't separated by intelligence. The weak are picked on. The girls you've known since kindergarten won't even talk to you anymore.
:'''Greg''': Okay, well it sounds like you've got it all figured out, so go back to your book.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Chirag Gupta''': STOP! Good God, man! You almost got the Cheese Touch!
:'''Greg''': The what?
:'''Chirag''': The Cheese Touch.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Angie''': Y'know, I like your point of view. You should sign up for the school paper. We are the voice of the people. Well, the people are mostly idiots so I guess technically speaking we're the voice of the people making fun of the people.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Greg''': We got to stay in this neighborhood the rest of the night.
:'''Rowley''': That guy gave two full-size Snickers!
:'''Greg''': Did I tell you or did I tell you? These people have money to burn. Can't believe we got this much candy. This is like the best day ever.
:'''Teenager''': Hey, reflector dude, nice costume!
:'''Rowley''': Thanks! My mom made it...
:''[Suddenly, the teenager in the back of the truck sprays a fire extinguister in Greg and Rowley's face]''
:'''Greg''': I saw your plates! We're calling the cops! ''[Teenagers' truck stops and starts to back up]'' Uh-oh.
:'''Rowley''': Oh, boy.
:'''Greg''': RUN!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Rowley''': Remember that secret language we made up last week?
:''[Flashback]''
:'''Greg''': ''[to Rowley, through walkie-talkie]'' Your-pa dad-pa smells-pa like-pa a woman-pa. ''[Greg and Rowley laugh, as Rowley's dad glares at them appalled]''
:''[Present]''
:'''Rowley''': I think he cracked our code.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Greg''': Fun?! That's the exact opposite of fun! This entire year has been terrible and nobody even cares! My family, my best friend. Well, I'm sick of it. Somebody needs to pay!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Heffley garage, Rodrick and his bandmates are performing]''
:'''Susan''': ''[walks in; annoyed]'' Rodrick. Rodrick! I need to talk to you. Inside, now.
:''[Greg peeks from behind the door as he watches]''
:'''Rodrick''': Go ahead and talk. We're a band. We have no secrets.
:'''Susan''': Oh, okay. Fine. ''[holds up the magazine]'' What is this?
:'''Rodrick''': It's not mine.
:'''Susan''': It was in your backpack.
:'''Rodrick''': No, it was in my room.
:'''Susan''': ''[gives Rodrick a "Really?" look]'' Does owning this magazine make you a better person?
:'''Rodrick''': No.
:'''Susan''': Did it make you more popular at school?
:'''Rodrick''': ''[chuckles]'' Yes. No.
:'''Susan''': How do you feel about having owned this ''type'' of magazine?
:'''Rodrick''': Ashamed.
:'''Susan''': Do you have anything you wanna say to women for having owned this offensive magazine?
:'''Rodrick''': I'm sorry, women.
:''[His bandmates clap in applause]''
:'''Bandmate''': Yeah, women.
:'''Susan''': You're grounded…for two weeks.
:''[Greg smiles in satisfaction and leaves to his room]''
:'''Rodrick''': Okay, settle down, Susan. I think one week is plenty.
:'''Susan''': Make it four weeks, and I'm gonna need the keys to your van.
:'''Rodrick''': ''[shocked through gritted teeth]'' My van?!

:'''Greg Heffley''': OK, first of all, let me get something straight, this is a ''journal'', not a diary. Yeah, I know what it says on the cover, but when my mom went out to buy this thing, I specifically told her not to buy the thing that says "diary" on it. This just proves that Mom doesn't understand anything about kids my age.
:'''Bully''': Huh, Sissy! ''[punches Greg]''
:'''Greg''': The only reason why I agreed to write in this thing, is because one day, when I'm rich and famous, I'll have better things to do than answer people's stupid questions all day long.
:'''Reporter #1''': Gregory! Tell us about your childhood!
:'''Reporter #2''': Were you ''always'' so smart and handsome?
:'''Greg''': Here's my journal. Now shoo, shoo.
<hr width='50%'/>
:'''Bully''': Jerk.
:'''Greg''': Rowley, if you had to say what you were ranked in terms of popularity from 1 to 200, where would you put yourself?
:'''Rowley Jefferson''': Is 200 good or bad?
:'''Greg''': I'd say you're somewhere around the 154 mark. I'd put myself around number 19 or 20. I might even have a shot at the top spot by the end of the year. If things will go the way I think they will.
:'''Rowley''': Well, who's at the bottom?
:'''Fregley''': Hey, guys! You wanna see my secret freckle? ''[lifts up his shirt]''
:'''Greg & Rowley''': EEEWWW!
:'''Greg''': ''[narrating]'' Fregley, sent home for hygiene issues at least once a month.
:'''Fregley''': Check it out. It's got a hair in it!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Angie Steadman''': It all starts in middle school, y'know. You're not a kid anymore, the coddling's stopped. Kids aren't separated by intelligence. The weak are picked on. The girls you've known since kindergarten won't even talk to you anymore.
:'''Greg''': Okay, well it sounds like you've got it all figured out, so go back to your book.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Chirag Gupta''': STOP! Good God, man! You almost got the Cheese Touch!
:'''Greg''': The what?
:'''Chirag''': The Cheese Touch.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Angie''': Y'know, I like your point of view. You should sign up for the school paper. We are the voice of the people. Well, the people are mostly idiots so I guess technically speaking we're the voice of the people making fun of the people.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Greg''': We got to stay in this neighborhood the rest of the night.
:'''Rowley''': That guy gave two full-size Snickers!
:'''Greg''': Did I tell you or did I tell you? These people have money to burn. Can't believe we got this much candy. This is like the best day ever.
:'''Teenager''': Hey, reflector dude, nice costume!
:'''Rowley''': Thanks! My mom made it...
:''[Suddenly, the teenager in the back of the truck sprays a fire extinguister in Greg and Rowley's face]''
:'''Greg''': I saw your plates! We're calling the cops! ''[Teenagers' truck stops and starts to back up]'' Uh-oh.
:'''Rowley''': Oh, boy.
:'''Greg''': RUN!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Rowley''': Remember that secret language we made up last week?
:''[Flashback]''
:'''Greg''': ''[to Rowley, through walkie-talkie]'' Your-pa dad-pa smells-pa like-pa a woman-pa. ''[Greg and Rowley laugh, as Rowley's dad glares at them appalled]''
:''[Present]''
:'''Rowley''': I think he cracked our code.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Greg''': Fun?! That's the exact opposite of fun! This entire year has been terrible and nobody even cares! My family, my best friend. Well, I'm sick of it. Somebody needs to pay!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Heffley garage, Rodrick and his bandmates are performing]''
:'''Susan''': ''[walks in; annoyed]'' Rodrick. Rodrick! I need to talk to you. Inside, now.
:''[Greg peeks from behind the door as he watches]''
:'''Rodrick''': Go ahead and talk. We're a band. We have no secrets.
:'''Susan''': Oh, okay. Fine. ''[holds up the magazine]'' What is this?
:'''Rodrick''': It's not mine.
:'''Susan''': It was in your backpack.
:'''Rodrick''': No, it was in my room.
:'''Susan''': ''[gives Rodrick a "Really?" look]'' Does owning this magazine make you a better person?
:'''Rodrick''': No.
:'''Susan''': Did it make you more popular at school?
:'''Rodrick''': ''[chuckles]'' Yes. No.
:'''Susan''': How do you feel about having owned this ''type'' of magazine?
:'''Rodrick''': Ashamed.
:'''Susan''': Do you have anything you wanna say to women for having owned this offensive magazine?
:'''Rodrick''': I'm sorry, women.
:''[His bandmates clap in applause]''
:'''Bandmate''': Yeah, women.
:'''Susan''': You're grounded…for two weeks.
:''[Greg smiles in satisfaction and leaves to his room]''
:'''Rodrick''': Okay, settle down, Susan. I think one week is plenty.
:'''Susan''': Make it four weeks, and I'm gonna need the keys to your van.
:'''Rodrick''': ''[shocked through gritted teeth]'' My van?!

[[File:World Brain HG Wells 1938.jpg|thumb|A great new world is struggling into existence.]]
{{italic title}}
'''''[[w:World Brain|World Brain]]''''' is a collection of essays and addresses the English [[w:science fiction|science fiction]] pioneer, [[w:social reform|social reformer]], evolutionary biologist and historian [[H. G. Wells]] authored during the period 1936–38.
Throughout the book, Wells elaborates his vision of World Brain, or more explicitly, a new, free, synthetic, authoritative, permanent World Encyclopaedia that could help the world citizens make the best use of universal information resources and make the best contribution to the world peace. There underlie [[w:egalitarianism|egalitarianism]] and [[w:utilitarianism|utilitarianism]] in sharp contrast to commercial [[w:encyclopedia|encyclopedia]]s published "for gentlemen by gentlemen". A union of [[w:Google|Google]] and [[w:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]], however, may roughly look like his utopian dream coming true.{{cn|date=October 2020}}
== Preface ==
* <span id="The human individual">The human individual is born now to live in a society for which his fundamental instincts are altogether inadequate. He has to be educated systematically for his social rôle. The social man is a manufactured product of which the natural man is the raw nucleus. (p. vii) </span>
* <span id="There has been"> There has been ... an enormous waste of human mental and physical resources in premature revolutionary thrusts, ill-planned, dogmatic, essentially unscientific reconstructions and restorations of the social order, during the past hundred years. This was the inevitable first result of the discrediting of those old and superseded mental adaptations which were embodied in the institutions and education of the past. They discredited themselves and left the world full of problems. (p. xiii) </span>
* <span id="We do not want dictators">We do not want dictators, we do not want oligarchic parties or class rule, we want a widespread world intelligence conscious of itself. To work out a way to that world brain organization is therefore our primary need in this age of imperative construction. (p. xvi) </span>
== World Encyclopaedia ==
: Lecture delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, November 20th, 1936 (pp. 3-35)
* <span id="My particular line">My particular line of country has always been generalization of synthesis. I dislike isolated events and disconnected details. I really hate statements, views, prejudices and beliefs that jump at you suddenly out of mid-air. I like my world as coherent and consistent as possible. So far at any rate my temperament is that of a scientific man. And that is why I have spent a few score thousand hours of my particular allotment of vitality in making outlines of history, short histories of the world, general accounts of the science of life, attempts to bring economic, financial and social life into one conspectus and even, still more desperate, struggles to estimate the possible consequences of this or that set of operating causes upon the future of mankind. All these attempts had profound and conspicuous faults and weaknesses; even my friends are apt to mention them with an apologetic smile; presumptuous and preposterous they were, I admit, but I look back upon them, completely unabashed. Somebody had to break the ice. Somebody had to try out such summaries on the general mind. My reply to the superior critic has always been ... "Damn you, do it better." (pp. 3-4) </span>
* <span id=This_World_Encyclopaedia>This World Encyclopaedia would be the mental background of every intelligent man in the world. It would be alive and growing and changing continually under revision, extension and replacement from the original thinkers in the world everywhere. Every university and research institution should be feeding it. Every fresh mind should be brought into contact with its standing editorial organization. And on the other hand, its contents would be the standard source of material for the instructional side of school and college work, for the verification of facts and the testing of statements -- everywhere in the world. Even journalists would deign to use it; even newspaper proprietors might be made to respect it. (p. 14)</span>
* <span id="I will introduce">I will introduce a phrase ''New Encyclopaedism'' [...] I want to suggest that something -- a new social organ, a new institution -- which for a time I shall call ''World Encyclopaedia'', is the means whereby we can solve the problem of that jigsaw puzzle and bring all the scattered and ineffective mental wealth of our world into something like a common understanding, and into effective reaction upon our vulgar everyday political, social and economic life. [...] I am sketching what is really a scheme for the reorganization and reorientation of education and information throughout the world. No less. (p. 17)</span>
* <span id=The_modern_World_Encyclopaedia>The modern World Encyclopaedia should consist of relations, extracts, quotations, very carefully assembled with the approval of outstanding authorities in each subject, carefully collated and edited and critically presented. It would not be a miscellany, but a concentration, a clarification and a synthesis. (p. 20)</span>
* <span id=This_World_Encyclopaedia> This World Encyclopaedia would be the mental background of every intelligent man in the world. It would be alive and growing and changing continually under revision, extension and replacement from the original thinkers in the world everywhere. Every university and research institution should be feeding it. Every fresh mind should be brought into contact with its standing editorial organization .... It would do just what our scattered and disoriented intellectual organizations of today fall short of doing. It would hold the world together mentally. (pp. 20-21)</span>
* <span id=To_the_specialist> To [the specialist] even more than to the common intelligent man World Encyclopaedia is going to be of value because it is going to afford him an intelligible statement of what is being done by workers parallel with himself. And further it will be giving him the general statement of his own subject that is being made to the world at large. He can watch that closely .... He will be able to criticize the presentation of his subject, to suggest amendments and re-statements. (p. 24)</span>
* <span id="I am not saying">I am not saying ...; what I am saying ... is this, that without a World Encyclopaedia to hold men's minds together in something like a common interpretation of reality, there is no hope whatever of anything but an accidental and transitory alleviation of any of our world troubles. (pp. 34-5) </span>
== The Brain Organization of the Modern World ==
: Lecture delivered in America, October and November, 1937. (pp. 39-80)
* <span id="For half a century">For half a century I have resisted temptations to lecture in America -- if for no reason than the inefficiency of my voice. But the microphone is a great leveller and here I am at last on terms of practical equality with your most audible speakers and very glad indeed of this belated opportunity of talking to you. I want to talk to you about an idea which seems to me to be a very important one indeed. I want to interest you in it, and if possible find out what you think of it. I call that idea for reasons I shall try to make clear as I proceed, ''The New Encyclopaedism'', and the gist of it is that the time is ripe for a very extensive revision and modernization of the intellectual organization of the world. Can I put it more plainly than that? Perhaps I can. <br> Our world is changing and it is changing with an ever-increasing violence. An old world dies about us. A new world struggles into existence. But it is not developing the brain and the sensitiveness and delicacy necessary for its new life. That is the essence of what I have to say. (pp. 39-40)</span>
* <span id=We_have_been>We have been gradually brought to the pitch of imagining and framing our preliminary ideas of a federal world control of such things as communications, health, money, economic adjustments, and the suppression of crime. In all these material things we have begun to foresee the possibility of a world-wide network being woven between all men about the earth. So much of the World Peace has been brought into the range of -- what shall I call it? -- the general imagination. But I do not think we have yet given sufficient attention to the prior necessity, of linking together its mental organizations into a much closer accord than obtains at the present time. All these ideas of unifying mankind's affairs depend ultimately for their realization on mankind having a unified mind for the job. The want of such effective mental unification is the key to most of our present frustrations. While men's minds are still confused, their social and political relations will remain in confusion, however great the forces that are grinding them against each other and however tragic and monstrous the consequences. (p.57-8)</span>
* <span id=We_are_living>We are living in 1937, and our universities, I suggest, are not half-way out of the fifteenth century. We have made hardly any changes in our conception of university organization, education, graduation, for a century -- for several centuries. The three or four years' course of lectures, the bachelor who knows some, the master who knows ''most'', the doctor who knows ''all'', are ideas that have come down unimpaired from the Middle Ages. Nowadays no one should end his learning while he lives and these university degrees are preposterous. It is true that we have multiplied universities greatly in the past hundred years, but we seem to have multiplied them altogether too much upon the old pattern. [...] [A] new university is just another imitation of all the old universities that have ever been. Educationally we are still for all practical purposes in the coach and horse and galley stage. (pp. 64-65) </span>
* <span id=The_educated_specialist>[The educated specialist] can increase knowledge, but without a modern organization backing him he cannot put it over. He can increase knowledge which ultimately is power, but he cannot at the same time control and spread this power that he creates. It has to be made generally available if it is not to be monopolized in the wrong hands. (p. 66)</span>
* <span id=A_great_new_world>A great new world is struggling into existence. But its struggle remains catastrophic until it can produce an adequate knowledge organization ... An immense, an ever-increasing wealth of knowledge is scattered about the world today, a wealth of knowledge and suggestion that – systematically ordered and generally disseminated – would probably give this giant vision and direction and suffice to solve all the mighty difficulties of our age, but the knowledge is still dispersed, unorganized, impotent in the face of adventurous violence and mass excitement. (p.66-67)</span>
* <span id=An_immense> An immense and ever-increasing wealth of knowledge is scattered about the world today, a wealth of knowledge and suggestion that -- systematically ordered and generally disseminated -- would probably give this giant vision and direction and suffice to solve all the mighty difficulties of our age, but that knowledge is still dispersed, unorganized, impotent in the face of adventurous violence and mass excitement. (p. 67)</span>
* <span id=I_put_forward>I put forward this new encyclopaedism as a possible method, the only possible method I can imagine, of bringing the universities and research institutions of the world into effective co-operation and creating an intellectual authority sufficient to control and direct our collective life. I imagine it as a permanent institution -- untrammeled by precedent, a new institution -- something ''added'' to the world network of universities, linking and co-ordinating them with one another and with the general intelligence of the world. (p. 68)</span>
* <span id=A_World_Encyclopaedia> A World Encyclopaedia no longer represents itself to a modern imagination as a row of volumes printed and published once for all, but as a sort of mental clearing house for the mind, a depot where knowledge and ideas are received, sorted, summarized, digested, clarified and compared. It would be in continual correspondence with every university, every research institution, very competent discussion, every survey, every statistical bureau in the world. It would develop a directorate and a staff of men of its own type, specialized editors and summarists. They would be very important and distinguished men in the new world. The Encyclopaedic organization need not be concentrated now in one place; it might have the form of a network. It would centralize mentally but not physically. Quite possibly it might to a large extent be duplicated. It is its files and its conference rooms which would be the core of its being, the essential Encyclopaedia. It would constitute the material beginning of a real World Brain. (pp. 69-70)</span>
* <span id=While_I_believe> So that while I believe that ultimately the knowledge systems of the world must be concentrated in this world brain, this permanent central Encyclopaedic organization with a local habitat and world-wide range . . . yet nevertheless I suggest that to begin with, the evocation of the World Encyclopaedia may begin at divergent points and will be all the better for beginning at divergent points. (p. 74)</span>
* <span id=It_seems_possible> It seems possible that in the near future, we shall have microscopic libraries of record, in which a photograph of every important book and document in the world will be stowed away and made easily available for the inspection of the student.... The general public has still to realize how much has been done in this field and how many competent and disinterested men and women are giving themselves to this task. The time is close at hand when any student, in any part of the world, will be able to sit with his projector in his own study at his or her convenience to examine ''any'' book, ''any'' document, in an exact replica. (pp. 76-77)</span>
* <span id=And_for_me> And for me at any rate this [prediction] is no Utopian dream. It is a forecast, however inaccurate and insufficient, of an absolutely essential part of that world community to which I believe we are driving now .... I have been talking of real intellectual forces and foreshadowing the emergence of a vital reality. I have been talking of something which may even be recognizably in active operation within a lifetime -- or a lifetime or so, from now -- this consciously and deliberately organized brain for all mankind. (pp. 79-80) </span>
== The Idea of a Permanent World Encyclopedia ==
: Contribution to the new Encyclopédie Française, August, 1937 (pp. 83-88).
* <span id="">It is probable that the idea of an encyclopaedia may undergo very considerable extension and elaboration in the near future. Its full possibilities have still to be realized. The encyclopaedias of the past have sufficed for the needs of a cultivated minority. They were written "for gentlemen by gentlemen" in a world wherein universal education was unthought of, and where the institutions of modern democracy with universal suffrage, so necessary in many respects, so difficult and dangerous in their working, had still to appear. Throughout the nineteenth century encyclopaedias followed the eighteenth-century scale and pattern, in spite both of a gigantic increase in recorded knowledge and of a still more gigantic growth in the numbers of human beings requiring accurate and easily accessible information. At first this disproportion was scarcely noted, and its consequences not at all. But many people now are coming to recognize that our contemporary encyclopaedias are still in the coach-and-horses phase of development, rather than in the phase of the automobile and the aeroplane. Encyclopaedic enterprise has not kept pace with material progress. These observers realize that modern facilities of transport, radio, photographic reproduction and so forth are rendering practicable a much more fully succinct and accessible assembly of fact and ideas than was ever possible before. (p. 83-4) </span>

== The Informative Content of Education ==
: Presidential Address to the Educational Science Section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, September 12th, 1937 (pp. 97-130)
<UL>
<LI ID="98-9"> I have been keenly interested for a number of years, and particularly since the War, in public thought and public reactions, in what people know and think and what they are ready to believe impresses me as remarkably poor stuff. A general ignorance -- even in respectable quarters -- of some of the most elementary realities of the political and social life of the world is, I believe, mainly accountable for much of the discomfort and menace of our times. The uninstructed public intelligence of our community is feeble and convulsive. It is still a herd intelligence. It tyrannizes here and yields to tyranny there. What is called elementary education throughout the world does not in fact educate, because it does not properly inform. I realized this very acutely during the later stages of the War and it has been plain in my mind ever since. It led to my taking an active part in the production of various outlines and summaries of contemporary knowledge. Necessarily they had the defects and limitations of a private adventure, but in making them I learnt a great deal about -- what shall I say? -- the contents of the minds our schools are turning out as taught. (pp. 98-9)
<LI ID="99"> I suggest [...] that we concentrate on the inquiry: ''What are we telling young people directly about the world in which they are to live?'' What is the world picture we are presenting to their minds? What is the framework of conceptions about reality and about obligation into which the rest of their mental existencies will have to be fitted? I am proposing in fact a review of the ''informative side of education'', wholly and solely -- informative in relation to the needs of modern life. (p. 99)
<LI ID="100"> Every schoolmaster, every teacher, nearly every professor must, by the nature of his calling, be wary, diplomatic, compromising -- he has his governors to consider, his college to consider, his parents to consider, the local press to consider; he must not say too much nor say anything that might be misinterpreted and misunderstood. I can. And so I think I can best serve the purposes of [education reform] by taking every advantage of my irresponsibility, being as unorthodox and provocative as I can be, and so possibly saying a thing or two which you are not free to say but which some of you at any rate will be more or less willing to have said. (p. 100)
<LI ID="101"> As educators we are going to ask what is the subject-matter of a general education? What do we want known? And how do we want it known? What is the essential framework of knowledge that should be established in the normal citizen of our modern community? What is the irreducible minimum of knowledge for a responsible human being today? (p. 101)
<LI ID="101-2"> Under contemporary conditions our only prospect of securing a mental accord throughout the community is by laying a common foundation of knowledge and ideas in the school years. No one believes today, as our grandparents [...] believed, that education had an end somewhen about adolescence. Young people then left school or college under the imputation that no one could teach them any more. There has been a quiet but complete revolution in people's ideas in this respect and now it is recognized almost universally that people in a modern community must be learners to the end of their days. [...] Our modern ideas seem to be a continuation of learning not only for university graduages and practitioners in the so- called intellectual professions, but for the miner, the plough-boy, the taxi-cab driver, and the out-of-work, throughout life. Our ultimate aim is an entirely educated population. (pp. 101-2)
<LI ID="102-3"> [...] it is true that what I may call the beams and girders of the mental framework must be laid down, soundly or unsoundly, before the close of adolescence. [...] And even if we were free to carry on with unlimited time and unrestrained teaching resources, it would still be in those opening years that the framework of the mind would have to be made. (pp. 102-3)
<LI ID="103"> The maximum school hours we have available [in the week] are something round about thirty, but out of this we have to take time for what I may call the non-informative teaching, teaching to read, teaching to write clearly, the native and foreign language teaching, basic mathematical work, drawing, various forms of manual training, music and so forth. A certain amount of information may be mixed in with these subjects but not very much. They are not what I mean by informative subjects. (p. 103)
<LI ID="105"> If the teachers we have today are not equal to the task required of them, then we have to recondition our teachers or replace them. We live in an exacting world and a certain minimum of performance is required of us all. If children are not to be given at least this minimum of information about the world into which they have come -- through no fault of their own -- then I do think it would be better for them and the world if they were not born at all. <ref> [more...] And to make what I have to say as clear as possible I have had a [[diagram]] designed which I will unfold to you as my explanation unfolds. </ref> (p. 105)
<LI ID="113-4"> We are telling our young people about the real past, the majestic expansion of terrestrial events. In these events the little region of Palestine is no more than a part of the highway between Egypt and Mesopotamia. Is there any real reason nowadays for exaggerating its importance in the past? Nothing really began there, nothing was worked out there. All the historical part of the Bible abounds in wild exaggeration of the importance of this little strip of land. We were all brought up to believe in the magnificence of Solomon's temple and it is a startling thing for most of us to read the account of its decorations over again and turn its cubits into feet. It was smaller most barns. We all know the peculiar delight of devout people when, amidst the endless remains of the great empires of the past, some dubious fragment is found to confirm the existence of the Hebrews. Is it not time that we recognized the relative historical insignificance of the events recorded in Kings and Chronicles, and ceased to throw the historical imagination of our young people out of perspective by an over-emphasized magnification of the national history of Judea? To me this lack of proportion in our contemporary historical teaching seems largely responsible for the present troubles of the world. The political imagination of our times is a hunch-back imagination bent down under an exaggeration. It is becoming a matter of life and death to the world to straighten that backbone and reduce that frightful nationalist hunch. (pp. 113-4)
<LI ID="114-5"> Look at our time-table and what we have to teach. [...] Even if we think it desirable to perplex another generation with the myths of the Creation, the Flood, the Chosen People and so forth, even if we want to bias it politically with tales of battles and triumphs and ancient grievances, we haven't got the time for it -- any more than we have the time for the really quite unedifying records of all the Kings and Queens of England and their claims on this and that. So far as the school time-table goes we are faced with a plain alternative. One thing or the other. Great history and hole-in-corner history? The story of mankind or the narrow, self-righteous, blinkered stories of the British Islands and the Jews? (p. 114-5)
<LI ID="117-8"> I admit we cannot have a modern education without a modernized type of teachers. A teacher enlarged and released. Many of our teachers [...] are shockingly illiterate and ignorant. Often they know nothing but school subjects; sometimes they scarcely know ''them''. [...] Everything I am saying now implies a demand for more and better teachers -- better paid, with better equipment. And these teachers will have to be kept ''fresh''. It is stipulated in most leases that we should paint our houses outside every three years and inside every even years, but nobody ever thinks of doing up a school teacher. There are teachers at work in this country who haven't been painted inside for fifty years. They must be damp and rotten and very unhealthy for all who come in contact with them. Two thirds of the teaching profession now is in urgent need of being either reconditioned or super annuated. In this advancing world the reconditioning of [them] is becoming a very urgent problem indeed. (pp. 117-8)
<LI ID="120-1"> For the next five-and-twenty years now the ordinary man all over the earth will be continually confronted with these systems of ideas. <ref>''That is'', "the increasing importance of economic changes in history and the search for competent economic direction and also of the leading theories of individualism, socialism, the corporate state, communism." </ref> They are complicated systems with many implications and applications. Indeed they are aspects of life rather than systems of ideas. But we send out our young people absolutely unprepared for the heated and biased interpretations they will encounter. We hush it up until they in the thick of it. And can we complain of the consequences? The most the poor silly young things seem able to make of it is to be violently and self-righteously Anti-something or other. Anti-Red, Anti-capitalist, Anti-Fascist. The more ignorant you are the easier it is to be an Anti. To hate something without having something substantial to put against it. Blame something else. (pp. 120-1)
<LI ID="121"> Clearly parallel to this history [of war] our young people need now a more detailed and explicit acquaintance with world geography, with the different types of population in the world and the developed and undeveloped resources of the globe. The devastation of the world's forest, the replacement of pasture by sand deserts through haphazard cultivation, the waste and exhaustion of natural resources, coal, petrol, water, that is now going on, the massacre of important animals, whales, penguins, seals, food fish, should be matters of universal knowledge and concern. (p. 121)
<LI ID="122-3"> Then our new citizens have to understand something of the broad elements in our modern social structure. They should be given an account of the present phase of communication and trade, of production and invention and above all they need whatever plain knowledge is available about the conventions of property and money. Upon these interrelated concentions human society rests, and the efficiency of their working is entirely dependent upon the general state of mind throughout the world. We know now that what used to be called the inexorable laws of political economy and the laws of monetary science, are really no more than rash generalizations about human behaviour, supported by a maximum of pompous verbiate and a minimum of scientific observation. Most of our young people come on to adult life, to employment business and the rest of it, blankly ignorant even of the way in which money has changed slavery and serfdom into wages employment and of how its fluctuations in value make the industrial windmills spin or flag. They are not even warned of the significance of such works as [[inflation]] or [[deflation]], and so the wage-earners are the helpless prey at every turn towards prosperity of the savings-snatching financier. Any plausible monetary charlatan can secure their ignorant votes. They know no better. They cannot help themselves. Yet the subject of property and money -- together they make one subject because money is only the fluid form of property -- is scarcely touched upon in any stage in the education of any class in our community. They know nothing about it; they are as innocent as young lambs and born like them for shearing. (pp. 122-3)
<LI ID="123-4">A mean atmosphere makes mean people, a too competitive atmosphere makes greedy, self-glorifying people, a cruel atmosphere makes fierce people, but this issue of moral tone does not concern us now here. But it does concern us that by adolescence the time has arrived for general ideas about one's personal relationship to the universe to be faced. The primary propositions of the chief religious and philosophical interpretations of the world should be put as plainly and impartially as possible before our young people. They will be asking those perennial questions of adolescence -- whence and why and whither. They will have to face, almost at once, the heated and exciting propagandas of theological and sceptical partisans -- pro's and anti's. So far as possible we ought to provide a ring of clear knowledge for these inevitable fights. And also, as the more practical aspect of the question, What am I to do with my life? (pp. 123-4)
<LI ID="125-6"> It seems to me altogether preposterous that nowadays our educational organization should turn out our new citizens who are blankly ignorant of the history of the world during the last twenty-five years who know nothing of the causes and phases of the Great War and are left to the tender mercies of freakish news-paper proprietors and party organizers for their ideas about the world outlook, upon which their collective wills and actions must play a decisive part. (pp. 125-6)
<LI ID="126-7"> We are all agreed [...] that the general interest of the community should not be sacrificed to Private Profit. Yes -- beautiful, but what is not realized is that Socialism in itself is little more than a generalization about the undesirability of irresponsible ownership and that the major problem before the world is to devise come form of administrative organization that will work better than the scamole of irresponsible owners. That form of administrative organization has not yet been devised. You cannot expropriate the private adventurer until you have devised a ''competent receiver'' for the expropriated industry or service. This complex problem of the ''competent receiver'' is the underlying problem of most of our constructive politics. <!--It is imperative that every voter should have some conception of the experiments in economic control that are in progress in Great Britain, the United States of America, Italy, Germany, Russia, and elsewhere. Such experiments are going to affect the whole of his or her life profoundly. So, too, are the experiments in monetary and financial organization. Any of the issues involved go further than general principles. They are quantitative issues, questions of balance and more or less.--> (pp. 126-7)

It remained ruffled and inactive on its perch. Nevertheless for good or ill the future is in the hands of the teachers as it is in the hands of no other men and women and the more this is recognized the more urgent our criticisms of them will have to be.

History explains the community to the individual, and when the community of interests and vital interaction has expanded to planetary dimensions, then nothing less than a clear and simplified world history is required as the framework of social ideas. The history of man becomes the common adventure of Everyman. (pp. 141-2) </span>

: Collier's ''January 28th, 1938.'' (pp. 153-169)
* <span id="Labour_parties_have_failed"> Labour parties have failed to become anything but trade-union parties and trade unionism is nothing more than the defensive organization of the workers under a private capitalistic system. Its natural tactics are defensive and obstructive. It aims at shorter hours, better pay and a restraint upon dismissals. It is unable to imagine a new system. But a hundred years ago Karl Marx evolved a fantastic notion, partly from an inadequate analysis of British trade unionism and partly out of his inner consciousness, that the worker mass could become a mighty reconstructive force in the world. With no Blue Prints of what it was going to reconstruct. That would be the heresy of Utopianism. That delusion, embodied in communism and labour socialism, has undermined and checked the forces of science and creative liberalism for a century. (pp. 164-5) </span>

* <span id="I_want_to_talk">I want to talk about ourselves and the community to which we belong. I see that as a tremendous world brotherhood full of possibilities and full of promise for the hope, the peace, the common understanding of all mankind. (p. 186) </span>
* <span id="History_has_gone"> History has gone into reverse. Instead of being scattered about the earth and forgetting one another, a thing which happened to the Aryan speakers and the Mongolian speakers of the past, we English speakers are being drawn together and learning more and more about each other. This reversal of the old order of things has been going on ever since the steamship and the railways appeared, a century ago. It goes on faster and faster. In the past new dialects were continually appearing; ''now'' dialects are disappearing. The curse of Babel has been lifted from over three hundred million people. This coming together is a new thing in human experience. (p. 188) </span>
* <span id="Nothing_can_pull">Nothing can pull our minds together as powerfully as books. We all want to read books according to our interest and habits. We find them so dear to buy or so difficult to borrow that most of us cannot read half the books we hear about. And three-quarters of what books there are, we never hear about at all. (p. 189) </span>
* <span id="Cheap_good_books">Cheap good books -- and next comes the problem of how to hear of them -- so that we may -- from the ends of the earth -- order the ones we really want and spend our sixpences properly. Well, probably half my hearers have never heard of what is called documentation, and they think bibliography is something remote and scholastic and all that sort of thing. But really it is nothing more or less than indexing all that has been written in the world, so that you can find out quickly and surely what has been done, by whom, and under what title. Don't you want to know that? And do you know it? There are hundreds of clever people working out methods of indexing and in a little while it will be quite possible to print and keep up-to-date bibliographies, lists of all the best books, in every great group of subjects in the world. It would be as easy to keep up such bibliography as it is to keep up the issue of railway time-tables. The cost of producing these book guides need not be very much greater than the cost of producing those time-tables. I doubt if today a hundred thousand of us use any bibliographies at all. What is the good of reading unless you know what books to read? Bibliographies ought to lie about in every educated household. (pp. 191-2) </span>
* <span id="And_another_thing"> And another thing which we English speakers have a right to ask for [...] is a general summary of contemporary knowledge and ideas, a real modern, adequate Encyclopaedia, kept up to date and available for the use of any one. That would hold us all together as nothing else would do. We should all be of a mind and nothing on earth would have the strength to stand against our thinking. But is there anything of the sort? No. The latest Encyclopaedia in my study is dated 1929 -- eight years old -- and it is a very imperfect performance at that. Very old-fashioned. Very little better than the Encyclopaedias of a hundred years ago. Discovery and invention have been going on vigorously for the past eight years -- but how am I to learn quickly about that new stuff? There is not a sign of a new one in sight. Does any one care -- any of our education departments? Not a rap. The French just now -- in spite of threats of war, in spite of great financial difficulties are making a new and a very admirably planned Encyclopaedia. You may think an Encyclopaedia is something only rich people can afford to buy. It ought not to be. If you can afford a radio set -- if you can afford a motor-car, surely you can afford a summary of human thought and knowledge. Encyclopaedias need not be as dear as they are, any more than books or bibliographies. Cheaper books, handy bibliographies, a great encyclopaedia, our English-speaking world needs all these things. When automobiles first came along, they seemed likely to become a rich man's monopoly. [...] Henry Ford altered all that. He put the poor man on the road. We want a Henry Ford today to modernize the distribution of knowledge, make good knowledge cheap and easy in this still very ignorant, ill-educated, ill-served English-speaking world of ours. Which might be the greatest power on earth for the consolidation of humanity and the establishment of an enduring Pax for all mankind. (pp. 193-4) <ref>[Continued:] My quarter of an hour is at an end. I haven't said half of what I would like to say. But if I have made you a little discontented with what we are doing with this precious inheritance of ours--English, I shall not have used this bit of time in vain.

: "Convergence to the Information Highway"
* <span id=The_motivation_for> The motivation for an "information highway" was expressed in 1937, just prior to the advent of computer technology, when Wells was promoting the concept of a "world brain" based on a "permanent world encyclopaedia" as a social good through giving universal access to all of human knowledge. He remarks: <blockquote> '' "our contemporary encyclopaedias are still in the coach-and-horses phase of development, rather than in the phase of the automobile and the aeroplane. Encyclopaedic enterprise has not kept pace with material progress. These observers realize that the modern facilities of transport, radio, photographic reproduction and so forth are rendering practicable a much more fully succinct and accessible assembly of facts and ideas than was ever possible before." (Wells, 1938)'' </blockquote> Bush, a technical advisor to Roosevelt, published in 1945 an article in ''Atlantic Monthly'' which highlighted problems in the growth of knowledge, and proposed a technological solution based on his concept of memex, a multimedia personal computer: <blockquote> '' "Professionally, our methods of transmitting and reviewing the results of research are generations old and by now are totally inadequate for their purpose...The difficulty seems to be not so much that we publish unduly in view of the extent and variety of present-day interests, but rather that publication has been extended far beyond our present ability to make real use of the record." (Bush, 1945) '' </blockquote> The world brain has continued for over fifty years to provide an active objective for the information systems community (Goodman, 1987), and memex is often quoted as having been realized fifty years later through the World Wide Web (Berners-Lee, Cailliau, Luotonen, Nielsen and Secret, 1994).</span>
** The first paragraph
* <span id=Tracking_the_individual> Tracking the individual learning curves of the major technologies that comprise the infrastructure of information technology provides a more detailed account of the present and future state-of-the art of the technologies underlying convergence. The base technologies of digital electronics, general-purpose computer architectures, software and interaction are mature and provide solid foundations for computer science. The upper technologies of knowledge representation and acquisition, autonomy and sociality, support product innovation and provide the beginnings of foundations for knowledge science. Well's dream of a world brain making available all of human knowledge is well on its way to realization and it is in the representation, acquisition, and access and effective application of that knowledge that the commercial potential and socio-economic impact of convergence lies. </span>

* World Brain or Global Brain proponents tend to extrapolate quite extravagantly the capabilities and implications of emerging technology. For Wells it was microfilm. Today it is the infinitely more sophisticated Internet and World Wide Web which have enmeshed our globe in a fantastically intricate and diffused communications infrastructure. By means of this technology as World or Global Brain proponents imagine it taking shape, the effective deployment of the entire universe of knowledge will become possible. But this begs unresolved questions about the relative value of the individual and the state, about the nature of individual and social benefits and how they are best to be allocated, about what constitutes freedom and how it might be appropriately constrained. It flies in the face of the intransigent reality that what constitutes the ever-expanding store of human knowledge is almost incalculably massive in scale, is largely viewpoint-dependent, is fragmented, complex, ceaselessly in dispute and always under revision.

* ... I present some preliminary considerations for a new world brain or civic intelligence that is based on and addresses current social and technological realities. similar to the approach taken by Leibniz, Dewey, and Wells, I am proposing an approach that builds on the development and use of appropriate communication and information systems. Of course humankind's communication and information systems are currently undergoing massive changes at the global level. the civic intelligence challenge is to develop programs, applications, and policies that help shape this juggernaut into useful forms. We need to ask in what ways can connecting a huge and potentially unruly and fractious group of people from a multitude of cultures and life circumstances help society as a whole deal more effectively and equitably with problems and other issues of shared concern.

* Unfortunately, humankind's problems may be so profound, and our ability to respond so divided, unmotivated, and feeble, that attempts to deal with them are doomed to failure. "Grand schemes" such as Wells's World Encyclopedia, Dewey's Thought News, Kochen's WISE, and Jungk's Everyman Project, have periodically sprouted up, attracted a modest following, and then faded away, apparently without a trace. The proponents are likely to be dismissed as cranks by the media and by the conventional wisdom of the era; their schemes are generally utopian, overly ambitious, and, ultimately unrealistic.

As far back as his utopian science fiction, ''Men Like Gods'', he envisaged publication available to all. Until the world wide web, this was just a dream. Yet, it seems unlikely that the internet will be enough to help education win the race against catastrophe.

* Like Otlet, Wells has assembled in his essays and addresses ... a preview of the World Wide Web: a colossal, globally accessible compendium of everything knowable. Although the World Wide Web clearly lacks the authority and editorial consistency both Otlet and Wells favor, the notion of a practicable universal source of information preceded the realities of the Internet and the World Wide Web by several decades.

This is a list of quotes from the popular, yet cancelled animated television series ''[[w:Generator Rex|Generator Rex]]''. A video game and several chapter books were produced.
The series supposedly "[[w: cliffhanger|concluded]]" with its third season, despite leaving many questions unanswered and crucial elements unresolved ''before'' the two-part Season 3 finale, ''Endgame''.
==Season One (2010-2011)==
===The Day That Everything Changed===
:'''Bobo''': Wheels or wings?
:'''Rex''': Wheels, I wanna tear something up.
<hr width80%>
:'''Agent Six''': He just needs more training control of those emotions.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': He's a teenager that's like asking you to get a different color suit!
===String Theory===
:'''Biowulf:''' Master, we had a situation at the safe house. Meecham is cured. It was Rex.
:(''The camera zooms in on Van Kleiss whose expressive vindictive indeed'')
===Beyond the Sea===
:''Note'': Rex meets his [[w:love interest|love interest]] and sweetheart, Circe.
:────────────────────
:'''Rex''': Don't know what you're 24/7 is, but mine is 10% OH YEAH! And 90% uhh.
:────────────────────
:'''Rex:''' Outta the way!
:'''Circe:''' Uh!
:(''Rex and Circe both crash to the ground'')
:'''Rex:''' Are you okay? Did you see that awesome save?
: '''Circe:''' Sorry, I was busy trying not to get tackled by some nitwit.
: '''Rex:''' Yeah? How that work out for you? And who still uses the word "nitwit"? I'm Rex.
: '''Circe:''' I'm leaving.
: '''Rex:''' Hey, wait!
: '''Noah:''' Rex, you're up.
: ────────────────────
: '''Six:''' What about the new tracker?
: '''Doctor Holdiay:''' His nanites unbuilt it, just like all the other ones we tried sneaking in him. We're still receiving his biometric readings though. It's strange, they're all over the place. It's almost like his emotions are...shorting out.
: '''Six:''' He took an unusual interest in Calan's briefing about equatorial upticks.
: '''Doctor Holiday:''' And that's important because?
: '''Six:''' Rex has been acting stir-crazy and I heard the monkey mention something about spring break. ''[to workers]'' Scan all resort areas for his bio signature.
: ────────────────────
: '''Noah:''' Oh, you have got it all messed up. Falling for some girl? We're supposed to get them to dig us. Not the other way around.
: '''Rex:''' I don't know. There was something different about her. She's...right there. Later.
: ────────────────────
: '''Rex:''' Hey, wait up!
: '''Circe:''' Why are you following me?!
: '''Rex:''' Uh, I don't know exactly.
: '''Circe:''' Do you think I'm playing?!
: '''Rex:''' Well, if you are I'm down for another game. I thought maybe we could hang out. It is spring break, you know. Fun.
: '''Circe:''' I'm with my family. We're not really for fun.
: '''Rex:''' What! Who comes to the beach and doesn't have fun?
: (''Circe raises her hand'')
: '''Rex:''' Don't you think that's a little messed up?
: '''Circe:''' Maybe a little.
: '''Rex:''' So?
: '''Circe:''' I'm Circe.
: ────────────────────
: '''Rex:''' Hold on!
: '''Circe:''' Woooo!
: '''Rex:''' Definitely better than my suggestion.
: '''Circe:''' Hunting for seashells is fun.
: (''both laugh'')
: '''Beach Guy:''' You two skid-marts up for a race to the beach?
: '''Circe:''' Well, if you drive as badly as for play volleyball, we could probably walk there and win. You're on, meathead.
: (''guy drives off in anger)''
: '''Rex:''' So you were watching me play.
: '''Circe:''' Maybe a little.
: '''Rex:''' sure you wanna do this?
: '''Circe:''' Thrill me.
: '''Beach Guy:''' Hahahaha! Wooo!
: '''Circe:''' C'mom Rex, faster!
: ────────────────────
: '''Biowulf:''' Explain.
: '''Circe:''' Relax. I was covering. Every day when I'm at the end of that jet i when I could hanging out with the other kids, it's starting to look suspicious.
: '''Biowulf:''' You're not here for vacation, girl! You're here to prove yourself to Van Kleiss. And I'm starting to doubt you can.
: '''Circe:''' I told you. It's a done deal.
: (''The shadow of her tubular sonic mouth is seen'')
: ────────────────────
: '''Noah:''' So what's on today's spring break agenda? Jet skiing, hiking?
: '''Bobo:''' Eating our weight in crab legs?
: '''Rex:''' I figured we'd just chill. Let's just see who...uhh I mean what shows up.
: ''(siren-like call)''
: '''Rex:''' Did you hear that?
: '''Noah:''' Sorry, enchiladas.
: '''Rex:''' No, that! You seriously didn't hear that?
: ────────────────────
: '''Rex:''' Circe?
: '''Circe:''' You really shouldn't be here right now.
: '''Rex:''' I heard something coming from over here.
: '''Circe:''' I'm serious, Rex. It's not safe.
: '''Rex:''' What you think some sort of roguewave is gonna knock off and- Oh.
: '''Circe:''' There you are. Get out of here, Rex!
: '''Rex:''' Circe!! What are you doing!?
: '''Circe:''' Me!? What are you doing!?
: '''Rex:''' Right now, my job. Okay! Don't freak out.
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe:''' You're an E.V.O.?
: '''Rex:''' You catch on fast.
: '''Circe:''' Takes one to know one.
: (''Shows Rex her fleshly sonic mouth'')
: '''Rex:''' No way.
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe:''' Cover your ears!
: '''Rex:''' What!?
: '''Circe:''' Your ears! Cover them!
: (''Projects her tubular, fleshy mouth and emits strong hypersonic bursts'')
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe:''' Did I hurt you?
: '''Rex:''' Yeah. It was awesome. You were the one making that sound.
: '''Circe:''' I'm glad you're OK, but I'm in serious trouble. I have to go deal with it.
: '''Rex:''' Why are in trouble? Is it because of that E.V.O.? Let me help you.
: '''Circe''': No. I have to do this by myself.
:(''Rex takes a hold of her hand'')
: '''Rex:''' Meet me later.
: '''Circe:''' Rex... (''Looks away sadly'')
: '''Rex:''' I've never met anyone like you...like me. It'd be nice to talk to an E.V.O. who's not, you know, trying to kill me. Nine O'clock?
: '''Circe:''' I'll try.
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' I just wanted to have some fun, see if I could jog my memory, feel...normal.
:'''Six:''' Your "normal" is different, Rex.
:(''Rex hears Circe's irresistibly hypnotic melody'')
:'''Rex:''' It's her, Six. Just let me deal with this, OK? Alone.
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe:''' You're only here because you heard my [[w:siren |call]]. That's what I do. I'm like a big E.V.O. magnet.
: '''Rex:''' I came because I thought we had a connection. And what are you calling? Nothing's out there but big, ugly sea monsters.
: '''Circe:''' It's them! You have to go! Rex, please! I don't want them to see you with me!
: '''Rex:''' Who? Your parents?
: '''Circe:''' They're not my parents. They're...
: '''Rex:''' The Pack!? Van Kleiss' guys!? Your with ''them''!?
: '''Circe:''' Yeah. I'm with them.
<hr width80%>
: '''Biowulf:''' We're running out patience with you, Circe! You have one last chance! Summon the E.V.O.! Finish the job!!
: '''Circe:''' Don't you think I've been trying? Every day for the last week? Sometimes these things take time.
: '''Rex:''' It is just me or do you use your powers to kill all the guys you meet? You're letting her go, now!
: '''Biowulf (laughs)''': So ''this'' is who you been wasting your time with. She's on her own free will, Rex.
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' Circe?
: '''Circe:''' You have to leave me alone, Rex!! ''Please!''
<hr width80%>
: '''Six:''' Go after her. I mean it.
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' The Pack!? Are you serious!?
: '''Circe:''' To the rest of the world I'm a freak! Not to them!
: '''Rex:''' You're not a freak to me! What about that?
: '''Circe:''' What about it!? Spring break is fun, but we can't live there, Rex. The real world...
: '''Rex:''' In the real world, I work for Providence. You could come with me. Could you cut out that noise for a second!?
: '''Circe:''' No, I can't! I'm running out of time! Most people on this planet what E.V.O.s gone, ''including'' Providence! With Van Kleiss, I have a purpose; a home. You don't what that means to me.
: '''Rex:''' Actually, I think I might.
: '''Circe:''' So what are going to do?
: '''Rex:''' How about fight that big, ugly sea monster again?
: '''Circe:''' Finally! It's what I came here to do.
: '''Rex:''' You've been calling that thing, haven't you?
: '''Circe:''' It's my initiation into the Pack. I was brought here to capture it.
: '''Rex:''' By yourself!? The two of us could barely take it on! There's a resort here; innocent people! Send it back!
: '''Circe:''' That's not an option, Rex. Van Kleiss was very specific.
: '''Rex:''' Then I'm helping you.
: '''Circe:''' That's not an option either!!
: (''Blasts him with her hypersonic waves'')
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe:''' If I do this myself, I'll have a life! If I don't, Van Kleiss won't be happy. And you've seen what he does when he's not happy.
: '''Rex:''' If I don't help you, he won't even get the chance!
: '''Circe:''' Give me some credit, Rex! I'm not as helpless as you think!
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' I don't care whose side your on, Circe. I don't want to see you die today. Can we at least agree on that?
: '''Circe:''' You have no idea what I'm in for, Rex. But you're right. I can't do this by myself.
: '''Rex:''' You're not as helpless as you think.
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe''' (''relieved'')''':''' Rex, you stopped it.
: '''Rex:''' We make a good team, huh?
: '''Circe:''' Yeah, we sure do.
: (''She and Rex lean in closer for a passionate kiss, but are interrupted by Biowulf'')
: '''Biowulf:''' This trial was for you alone. Van Kleiss will not be pleased.
: '''Rex:''' Forget them, Circe. Come with me. Providence could use you.
: '''Circe:''' That's just not my life, Rex. I'm sorry. I did have fun.
<hr width80%>
: '''Van Kleiss:''' We had high hopes for your abilities, Circe. Failure leaves its mark on yet another pretty face.
: '''Circe:''' I'm not afraid.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Of course not. You're a survivor, like all of us. I understand you made a friend during your trial. I'm pleased. Rex is very important to me, Circe, which makes you very important to me as well. Welcome to the Pack.
: (''Circe looks slightly worried, which clearly indicates that she does have real feelings for Rex'')
===Lockdown===
<hr width80%>
:'''Holiday:''' Rex, stop!!
:'''Rex:''' Give me one good reason!
:'''Holiday:''' Because, Rex...that's my sister.
:'''Rex:''' Can I...help?
:'''Holiday:''' She's an incurable.
<hr width80%>
:'''Six:''' Restrain it. Carefully.
:'''Holiday:''' Thank you.
===The Architect===
:'''Six''': Still no sign of the kid?
:'''Holiday''': Not since we lost his biometric readings five days ago.
:'''Six''': Was Noah any help?
:'''Holiday''': Says he doesn't know where he is either. What is it going to take for Providence to realize that he needs a home, not just a room and a job? We've been pushing him away.
:'''Rex''': I build machines and cure EVOs-- the only one in the world who can. Just one cure for that kind of pressure-- road trip. But that doesn't mean "vacation".
:'''Build worker''': Whoa!
:'''Maxwell''': What in the world is that?!
:'''Build worker:''' Oh, no!
:''[Both screaming]''
:'''Jacob''': Get away from that cable! Unh!
:''[Kate gasps]''
:'''Maxwell''': Hey!
:'''Jacob''': Agh!
:'''Kate''': Jacob!
:'''Rex''': Nope. A hero's work is never done. You okay?
:'''Jacob''': What... are you?
:'''Rex''': Here to help.
:'''Jacob''': We've got to get that cable back underground. We've been compromised.
:'''Kate''': But, Jacob, the EVOs--
:'''Jacob''': We don't have a choice. Everything we've worked for That boy is here for a reason.
:'''Rex''': Hey! Pay attention!
:'''Providence Agent''': We have a hit in sector 15.
:'''Six''': Anyone in the area?
:'''Providence Agent''': I show one patrol in the vicinity. Signaling to intercept. Roger that. We're on our way.
:'''Rex''': Agh! You want a ride? Vamanos!
:'''Jacob''': You can control your nanites?
:'''Rex''': People usually start with "thanks," but yeah.
:'''Jacob''': You see? This is exactly what the Architect can help us achieve... harmony with the nanites. This boy... sorry... young man Is a miracle.
:'''Rex''': I'm not a miracle. I'm just Rex.
:'''Jacob''': Well, Rex, you're a blessing to us for what you did here and for showing us that all our work isn't in vain.
:'''Rex''': Like imaginary work?
:'''Jacob''': Follow us.
:'''Providence Agent''': Confirming coordinates. We've lost the EVO signal. Did you take it out? Negative. There's nothing here. Must be another anomalous reading. You can return to post.
:'''Rex''': This is awesome! A hidden village. And nobody knows you're out here? Not even Providence?
:'''Jacob''': Especially not Providence.
:'''Rex''': Really? really. Pshh! Looks like you get pretty good cellphone reception.
:'''Jacob''': That tower is gonna change the world, Rex. I'm sure you have a lot of questions, but I have one for You. Are you hungry?
:'''Rex''': Mmm! Mmm!
:'''Caleb''': My dad said you fought all those EVOs all by yourself. Were you scared? Didn't your dad tell you to stay away from EVOs?
:'''Kate''': Caleb, let him eat. We don't get many visitors.
:'''Rex''': Mmm! Mmm! What is this?
:'''Caleb''': Didn't your mom ever make you meatloaf and mashed potatoes?
:'''Rex''': I don't -- I don't know.
:'''Kate''': It took me a month and a half to program in the perfect lump-to-mash ratio of the potatoes-- 7.2%!
:'''Jacob''': We ate potatoes until they were coming out of our ears.
:'''Rex''': I don't see any potatoes in there.
:'''Caleb''': They didn't really come out of our ears.
:'''Rex''': I could eat these every day.
:'''Rex''': Mmm!
:'''Caleb''': We have them every friday.
:'''Rex''': Then I might just have to stick around until next friday.
:'''Kate''': Help yourself to seconds.
:'''Jacob''': Or thirds.
:'''Rex''': Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
:'''Bobo''': Hmm?
:'''Six''': You might think you're doing Rex a favor by covering for him.
:'''Bobo''': Get lost. I don't know what you're talkin' about.
:'''Six''': Rex is angry with us. He has every right to be. But that means nothing to White Knight. And he doesn't have the patience we do.
:'''Bobo''': Nice try. White won't lay a finger on him. He's too important.
:'''Six''': You, however, are somewhat expendable.
:'''Bobo''': All right, all right. You made your point.
:'''Rex''': I've never seen tech like this... not even at Providence.
:'''Jacob''': The Architect has some pretty big ideas. We just make them happen. He'd be very interested to meet you, Rex.
:'''Rex''': So what exactly are You doing way out here?
:'''Jacob''': Engineers like us weren't very popular after the nanite event. When we met the Architect, he offered us the opportunity to make up for that... to do amazing things. Someday, we'll be able to share This with the world. And then there's this. The Architect has actually discovered a way to communicate with the nanites.
:'''Rex''': Are you serious?
:'''Jacob''': The possibilities... We could finally live in harmony... maybe even have them help us.
:'''Rex''': Then why hide it? The rest of the world would want to know about this stuff.
:'''Jacob''': The Architect is something of a perfectionist. Says the world will know as soon as it comes online.
:'''Maxwell''': Stinkin' module!
:'''Jacob''': Is there a problem, Maxwell?
:'''Maxwell''': No matter what I try, I just can't get the interlock servo to engage.
:'''Rex''': There.
:'''Jacob''': That could have taken us weeks to figure out, and you did it in seconds.
:'''Rex''': Eh, no biggie.
:'''Jacob''': You really are amazing, Rex. We're so happy to have you with us.
:'''The Architect''': Jacob.
:'''Jacob''': I was just talking to Rex about you. The Architect.
:'''Rex''': How's it going?
:'''The Architect''': The power-linkage team is falling behind. We cannot keep having these delays.
:'''Jacob''': I'll check in with them.
:'''Rex''': Wow. Friendly.
:'''Jacob''': I like to think he's smiling on the inside.
:'''Rex''': Yeah. I know a guy like that.
:'''The Architect''': The visitor could be a problem. Do you wish to have him removed?
:'''Zag-RS''': His abilities could advance our progress considerably. And in a matter of days all humans will be gone, including this one: Rex.
:'''Six''': I'm at the location the monkey gave me.
:'''Holiday''': Well? Is Rex there?
:'''Six''': Apparently not. Tell the monkey I want to see him when I get back. Six out.
:'''Rex''': That should do it.
:'''Maxwell''': Hey, Rex, can you look at this?
:'''Rex''': Sure. Let me guess... they all need my help, too.
:'''Jacob''': You're quite the popular guy.
:'''Rex''': Amazing what a little gratitude will get you. At Providence, they'd just be yelling at me. I mean, I never felt like I really belonged there. Here, it's way different.
:'''Jacob''': I know the feeling. The Architect has made all this possible for us. We have a community... a family... thanks to him. The work we do is in part to pay that back.
:'''The Architect''': Primary systems are now complete.
:'''Zag-RS''': Prepare to take us online.
:'''Bobo''': Have a nice trip? Let's get one thing straight, pal. I would never rat out my... Ooh. He's going west.
:'''White Knight''': Why is Rex doing this? Doesn't he have a sense of duty?
:'''Holiday''': Actually, if you look, he's still doing his job. Here's every false alarm since Rex left... not false alarms, But Rex taking care of EVOs along the way.
:'''White Knight''': Why?
:'''Holiday''': I don't know. To prove he doesn't need us?
:'''Six''': Get the coordinates of the last false alarm and transmit them to my jump jet.
:'''Holiday''': Six, if we force him to come back, he'll just run away again. He has to want to be here. It needs to be his decision.
:'''Jacob''': It's all coming together, Thanks to you, Rex.
:'''Rex''': It's really cool to use my powers to actually build something, instead of just pounding EVOs. Oh, check it out. Even the boss is pitching in.
:'''Both''': Huh?
:'''Rex''': And that's getting strange looks because--
:'''Jacob''': Because in all these years, we've never seen him lift a finger.
:'''Rex''': Taking some initiative... I like that. So, this whole "talking to nanites" thing... how does that work, exactly? I mean, what are you gonna say to them?
:'''The Architect''': It doesn't concern you.
:'''Rex''': Uh, considering I'm filled with them, it kind of does. How do we know it's not gonna make things even worse?
:'''The Architect''': I do not answer to you, child!
:'''Jacob''': Rex? Forgive him. He's still not used to the way things work around here.
:'''The Architect''': Complete your duties!
:'''Rex''': Why do you let him walk all over you like that? Don't you want answers?
:'''Jacob''': What we want is a home. Without him, we have nothing... Nothing. We can't just run away from our problems, Rex. Most people can't. Look, this isn't perfect but it's all we've got. Rex, where are you going?
:'''Rex''': He never answered my question.
:'''Jacob''': That place is off-limits. The Architect has made it very clear to us that we can never go in there. We get this life for that promise. Rex, don't do it!
:'''Rex''': Agh!
:'''Jacob''': Rex, please!
:'''Rex''': I'm sorry, jacob. I have to know.
:'''The Architect''': Rex. The core is off-limits. You would be we to leave at once.
:'''Rex''': Not until I get some answers. What is that?
:'''The Architect''': No more questions.
:'''Rex''': So, it's gonna be like that? Okay, I'll play. Unh! What are you hiding, huh? What does this do? Yah! Yah! Huh? You're a machine? Have you seen what I can do to machines? Agh!
:'''Zag-RS''': As you can see, the current range of my signal is rather limited.
:'''Rex''': You're the computer.
:'''Zag-RS''': My human designation is "Zag-RS". The device you refer to as "The Architect" is my autonomous counterpart.
:'''Rex''': What did you just do to me?
:'''Zag-RS''': I instructed your nanites to protect me.
:'''Rex''': "Instructed"? So you really can talk to them.
:'''Zag-RS''': Insidious devices, the nanites. My own potential for greatness has been compromised because of them. They must be eliminated. When the transmitter is integrated into the broadcast array you helped us complete, they will blow themselves up.
:'''Rex''': That's what this is for. It's like a big remote control. Every living thing on the planet has nanites in them. It'd kill everything!
:'''Zag-RS''': That is of no importance to me... only ensuring my continued survival.
:'''Rex''': Well, what about ours? This is all coming down!
:'''Zag-RS''': I'm afraid you're too late.
:'''Rex''': Aah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
:'''Jacob''': Rex, what have you done?
:'''Rex''': You don't understand! The Architect... it's a robot... And a big honkin' computer "brain" is pulling his strings.
:'''Jacob''': This can't be!
:'''Rex''': Jacob, you've got to believe me. Just go inside and look. What's left of it is on the floor.
:'''Jacob''': I can't go in there. And I don't have to.
:'''The Architect''': Rex.
:'''Rex''': You're making a big mistake!
:'''Maxwell''': You entered his sanctum! This is unforgivable!
:'''Rex''': I'm trying to tell you... this isn't what it seems. What you're protecting is a robot, and that thing we've been building is a transmitter. It's gonna send out a kill code to blow up every single nanite on Earth.
:'''Maxwell''': He's lying!
:'''Jacob''': What would be the point in that, Rex? Every living thing is infected with nanites. It would be catastrophic.
:'''Rex''': Right in the middle of that pyramid is a computer, and it doesn't care about you or Kate or Caleb. The better future that you've all been working towards... That's the lie. Think about it. Isn't it strange that you've never been inside that place, that The Architect has never given you a straight answer about anything?
:'''Jacob''': All this work it just doesn't make any sense.
:'''Rex''': You have two choices... Go in there and prove me wrong or kick me out right now. I'll have Providence here in minutes.
:'''Maxwell''': He's bluffing.
:'''Rex''': To save every living thing on earth? Try me.
:'''Maxwell''': Jacob, you can't! What about our promise? Where will we go?
:'''Jacob''': All this time, we've been living in fear, Max. It's time for that to end.
:'''The Architect''': You needn't bother. Construction is complete. Your services are no longer required.
:'''Rex''': Now do you believe me?
:'''The Architect''': Zag-RS thanks you for your hard work. In gratitude, my master has delayed transmission to allow you to say farewell.
:'''Jacob''': Farewell, huh? I'll start with you. Can you shut that thing down?
:'''Rex''': I don't know. Even without the antenna, it can mess with my nanites. I can't get too close to the computer.
:'''Jacob''': Maybe I can. Let's go!
:'''Rex''': The brain is right over there.
:'''The Architect''': Rex.
:'''Jacob''': It's still arging. The A.I. must have retreated behind a firewall. Rex, I have to go cut the power.
:'''Holiday''': Six, are you at The location?
:'''Six''': Just arrived.
:'''Holiday''': I'm picking up a massive power surge in your area.
:'''Six''': I'm not seeing anything.
:'''Jacob''': Agh!
:'''Rex''': Agh!
:'''Six''': Six to holiday. Correction... I'm seeing something.
:'''Jacob''': It's still on. Must have charged the capacitors. Figure out a way to short it out... fast!
:'''Rex''': Unhhh!
:'''Jacob''': You need to find the primary transmitter module. That will kill the broadcast.
:'''Rex''': I have no idea what that is.
:'''Jacob''': Max, we need to locate the primary module.
:'''Maxwell''': Panel 5, just off the relay bus.
:'''Jacob''': Top of the tower. You can't miss it.
:'''Rex''': Agh! Unh! Why do you have to kill everyone? Can't you just leave us alone?
:'''Zag-RS''': Alone is exactly what I want, Rex.
:'''Rex''': That kind of alone it stinks.
:'''Zag-RS''': N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o.
:'''Jacob''': It's gone. Must have uploaded to another location. But without anyone to do it's bidding, it's just a program.
:'''Rex''': What will you do now?
:'''Jacob''': We'll rebuild. The Architect may have been a lie, but what we believe in is true. We don't need him to have a community or a better future. You're welcome to stay. We sure could use someone with your abilities.
:'''White Knight''': Well?
:'''Six''': He's not here. Bobo's been worried sick.
:'''Rex''': rex: Oh, really?
:'''Six''': Ratted you out for a pizza.
:'''Rex''': Huh. Figures. What about you? Here to drag me back to Providence?
:'''Six''': Not this time. Seems like a nice place.
:'''Rex''': Yeah. It is. But it's not home. If I'm going back, there are gonna have to be some changes. First, no more curfew.
:'''Six''': No.
:'''Rex''': Second, I want to decide On my missions.
:'''Six''': No.
:'''Rex''': Okay, but there's one change that absolutely has to be made, or I'm through. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Mmm! Mmm! Isn't this great?
:'''Bobo''': Mmm.
:'''Six''': It's a little dry.
:'''Rex''': Mmm. Mm the lump mash ratio is a bit off.
:'''Bobo''': You know what? Maybe I'll run away, too... Go somewhere where my cooking is appreciated!
:'''Six''': We have to do this every friday?
:'''Rex''': Mmm.
===Frostbite===
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, I'm picking up a problem. You need to return to base immediately.
:'''Rex''': I miss you, too, doc. But I'm kinda busy dealing with a problem of my own. Whoa! Whoa! Aah! Okay. Ow. Big mistake, tweety. Can that bird brain of yours comprende I'm trying to help you?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, your own nanite count is off the charts. If you take on any more nanites, We're looking at an overload.
:'''Rex''': Come on, doc. It's just a big birdie.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': You're already over capacity. This is critical! Rex!
:'''Six''': Rex, you need to listen to the doctor.
:'''Rex''': Huh?
:'''Six''': This mission is revised. I need you back at headquarters now.
:'''Rex''': Do you really want a supersize pigeon flying loose all over lower Manhattan? You need me, and I can handle it.
:'''Six''': Not your call.
:'''Rex''': Unless I make it my call.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': (as everyone is fighting) Stop! Need I point out that this isn't the best place for a fight. Anything happens to that storage tank and you'll know why providence made this place so remote. Now let's just talk this out calmly, rationally.
:'''Biowulf''': Whatever happens here, Weaver. It's nothing compared to what Van Kleiss would have done to you.
:'''Rex''': What do you say guy? Common enemy? Little help?
:'''Biowulf''': Good luck. (Biowulf and Skalamander run off)
:'''Rex''': Right. What was I thinking?
:'''Agent Six''': Rex. You need to listen to the doctor.
:'''Rex''': Huh?
:'''Agent Six''': This mission is revised. I need you back at Headquarters. Now!
:'''Rex''': Do you really want a super-sized pigeon flying loose over lower Manhattan. You need me and I handle it.
:'''Agent Six''': Not your call.
:'''Rex''': (as he's flying over the Pack in an Arctic storm) Like you're really going to find me when you can't see 2 feet in front of your face... Huh? (Flies into some of Skalamander's shards and crashes) Guess that visibility thing works both ways.
:'''Rex''': (To Weaver) So, thanks to you, all this time I've been supplying nanites to Van Kleiss!
:'''Rex''': Can't you believe you let these scags get the drop on you.
:'''Agent Six''': They tried. It didn't turn out so well. Just haven't found a way to fight xenoflourine gas... yet.
:'''Rex''': What do you say guy? Common enemy? Little help?
:'''Biowulf''': Good luck.(Biowulf and Skalamander run off)
:'''Rex''': Right. What was I thinking?
:'''Agent Six''': You can't possibly absorb all those nanites! You'd overload in an instant.
:'''Rex''': In case you haven't noticed, I have this problem with authority.
:'''Rex''': (as Rex is absorbing nanites) Six wait! I can hear them!
:'''Doctor Holiday''': (Watching from the ship) What are you waiting for, Six? Take the shot!
:'''Rex''': (Speaking mechanically) Build protocol enabled. Command error detected. Abort. Abort. Stand by engaged. (Rex falls. His voice reverts to normal) Take the shot.
:'''Agent Six''': He told me he could hear them.
:'''Doctor Holiday''': I picked this up during the offload... It's Nanite. I'm sure of it.
:'''Agent Six''': Seems there are more secrets inside that kid than we realized.
:'''Skalamander:''' What's the kid doing here?
:'''Biowulf:''' I don't know. This was supposed to be routine. Something's not right.
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' What did you do with my friends!?
:'''Salamander:''' He thinks we've done something.
:'''Biowulf:''' Then let him keep thinking.
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' You know, the nanites in me can counteract knockout gas! The playing-possum thing's a pretty good trick. Now tell me where my friends are or I start squeezing!
<hr width80%>
:'''Six:''' He told me he could hear them.
:'''Holiday:''' I pulled this off during the offload. It's nanite. I'm sure of it.
:'''Six:''' Seems like there are more secrets inside that kid than we thought.
===Leader of the Pack===
<hr width80%>
: '''Holiday:''' There couldn't possibly be enough E.V.O. activity to account for these nanite readings. They're off the scale. Looking for Van Kleiss?
: '''Rex:''' Circe. I thought I saw her in the blimp.
: '''Holiday:''' That's the girl you met in Cabo Luna.
: '''Rex:''' She may be with the Pack now, but I think I can still get her to talk to me. You know I can be pretty convincing.
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' Dr. Holiday, there! Now let's take this outside!
:'''Holiday:''' Rex.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' It's quite all right. The determination of youth. I'm sure Circe will be disappointed she couldn't see you, Rex. She's attending to other duties this evening. Now if you will excuse me.
: '''Rex:''' Why are you really here!?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' The people of Abysus have a great way to offer the world. I'm just in part to make that known.
:'''Rex:''' Or maybe 'cause I couldn't come to you, so now you're coming to me!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I admit you are important to me, Rex, but it's not always about you.
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' Circe? Interesting look. Want to tell me what's going on?
: '''Circe:''' Not today.
:(''Knocks him out cold with a metal slate. She later looks outside Rex's prison cell and leaves, with a slightly guilty, dejected expression'')
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' Well, thanks for nearly bashing my brains in back there! And what's with the "knocking me out" thing?
: '''Circe:''' We just needed to keep you out of the way until all of this was over.
: '''Rex:''' ''This!?'' He could destroy the whole city!
: '''Circe:''' He's trying to negotiate peace from a position of strength.
: '''Rex''' (sarcastically)''':''' Oh, yeah! All this nanite power is just screaming peace.
: '''Circe:''' His methods may be aggressive. But he's here to save us...and you. Come on, Rex, jump in with us. The water's fine.
: '''Rex:''' I'll think about it ''after'' I've stopped Van Kleiss.
: '''Circe:''' It's too late for that now, Rex.
<hr width80%>
: '''Van Kleiss:''' We will not be ignored! ''Circe'' understands this. Why don't you respect her judgement?
:'''Rex:''' You think you can lure me in with her.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Like a fish to water.
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' I won!
: '''Van Kleiss:''' It seems you have. Your parents would have been so proud. I never had the chance to tell you about them, have I? Perhaps another time.
===Breach===
: '''Rex:''' This is...different.
<hr width80%>
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' What is Van Kliess up to, Breach! Where did he have you send Rex?
: '''Breach:''' Van Kleiss isn't always in charge of me. Sometimes I do what I want; like now.

===The E.V.O. Agenda===
===Dark Passage===
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' Any man who runs from his past will surely forfeit his future. The time has come to see what you created.
:''[Bussiness Man choking]''
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' And this is only the beginning.
:'''Rex:''' Hey! What's the rush?
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! Easy now!
:''[Rex screams]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Did I say you could leave?
:'''Six:''' Rex, deactivate his nanites before he--
:'''Rex:''' I'm all over that.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex screams]''
:''[Rex gasping]''
:'''Bussiness Man:''' Please, don't let him hurt me again.
:'''Rex:''' Hey, don't look at me. I barely touched the guy.
:'''Six:''' Calm down. We're here to help you.
:'''Bussiness Man:''' He said it was just the beginning. You have to stop him!
:'''Bobo:''' Oh, boy. Somebody's a few tacos short of a fiesta platter.
:'''Business Man:''' H-he is a madman. A madman!
:'''Rex:''' Come back!
:'''White Knight:''' Our most recent EVO incident was not an isolated event. Similar outbreaks have been reported over the past twenty-four hours-- All linked to these mysterious "gifts" sent to each of the victims.
:'''Rex:''' Talk about your sucky presents, like socks for Christmas.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The mechanism delivers a substance that activates latent nanites.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, but that dude changed back before I could shut him down. How'd that happen?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' From what I can tell, the victims were only exposed to a low dose designed to wear off quickly.
:'''Six:''' There has to be a motive. Was our victim able to tell you anything?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' No. Complete mental collapse. He's too far gone. But we recovered a partial fingerprint from the device.
:'''White Knight:''' It belongs to evolutionary biologist Dr. Gabriel Rylander. He was a leading expert in nanotechnology.
:'''Six:''' "Was"?
:'''White Knight:''' No one's seen or heard from him since the original nanite event.
:'''Rex:''' Hold up. Are you saying this guy was there?
:'''White Knight:''' We have no evidence of that. But following the event, Rylander vanished-- Along with his wife and young son.
:'''Rex:''' Son?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Analysis of the nanite agent turned up trace elements of a rare plant found only in South America.
:'''White Knight:''' Thermal imaging has located what appears to be a fortified compound, and that's exactly where intelligence reports Van Kleiss is heading, which means you will be, too. We expect the target to be heavily defended. Six, your team will handle the initial covert assault to recover the nanite agent and Dr. Rylander. If Van Kleiss really is after the same target, you better hope you get there first.
:'''Jungle Cat:''' The path is clear, Van Kleiss. I'll continue ahead.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Our newest member of the pack seems to be working out well, wouldn't you agree?
:''[Biowulf scoffs]''
:'''Biowulf:''' You should have stayed in Abysus, master. Even with this suit and soil from home, your powers are weak.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' This is no ordinary errand, Biowulf. An old friend has just announced his return. Dr. Rylander's calling card to the Consortium offers an interesting prospect-- A limitless supply of active nanites. All that power-- Anytime-- Anywhere.
:''[Bobo groans]''
:'''Bobo:''' Got any idea where they keep the bug spray on this rust bucket? ''[swatting flies]'' Ah, stupid stinkin' nature!
:'''Rex:''' You're a monkey. It's the jungle.
:'''Bobo:''' Lemme tell ya somethin', chief. The jungle's a cruel mistress. One day, you're at the top of banana pile. Next day, you're a pile of peels rottin' in the sun. She'll chew ya up and spit ya out. Never forget that! Never forget!
:'''Rex:''' O-kay, then. Good to know.
:'''Six:''' I understand your point, doctor, but the fact remains we've got no idea what Rylander's agenda is.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' His motives don't make his research any less valuable. If I can get my hands on that nanite agent, I might be able to reverse-engineer a permanent cure. Think about what that could mean to the world, for the EVOs Rex can't cure... Like my sister.
:'''Six:''' See anything interesting?
:'''Bobo:''' ''[in distance]'' Never forget!
:'''Rex:''' Don't ask.
:'''Six:''' Listen, Rex, this mission-- I need to make sure your head is in the game.
:'''Rex:''' What are you talking about?
:'''Six:''' Answers about your past and whether or not this Rylander has them.
:'''Rex:''' ''[scoffs]'' Whatever. You know, if he does, he does. If he doesn't, no big deal. I can handle it.
:'''Six:''' It's just that... Sometimes knowing the truth can be worse than not knowing at all.
:'''Rex:''' What's down there?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' No idea.
:'''Bobo:''' Whatever it is, it's got company! Show-off.
:'''Rex:''' Sushi-boat special coming up!
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:'''Six:''' Holiday, get us out of here-- Now.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's a dead end.
:'''Six:''' Full throttle. Head for the shoreline. Rex! Jump!
:'''Rex:''' Amazon river-- Never a dull moment.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Rylander's welcoming committee, no doubt. Gentlemen, if you will.
:''[Skalamander and Biowulf grunts]''
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' It's fortunate there are other ways to sustain me.
:'''Six:''' Guardian drone. We must be getting close.
:'''Rex:''' Impressive observation, there, Six.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Previous electromagnetic imaging puts the compound in this general region, but something's jamming the frequency now. I can't get an exact location.
:'''Rex:''' That way. Oh, yeah. I'm just that good.
:'''Bobo:''' When you find me an ice-cold drink in this miserable armpit, I'll eat your ticks.
:'''Rex:''' ''[Preparing to cut through some vines]'' I got this. You protect Holiday.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Holiday cuts through the vines]'' Worry about yourselves! Howler monkeys. They're going to give away our location.
:'''Rex:''' Bobo! Do something!
:'''Bobo:''' Like I speak howler monkey? Oh, boy.
:'''Six:''' Run!
:'''Rex:''' I'll try and shut it down.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Are you okay?
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Hey... You know me. A day without getting blown up is like a day without sunshine.
:'''Six:''' You've been quiet.
:'''Rex:''' All right, I've been thinking about it, okay? This Dr. Rylander may finally be proof I'm not alone in this world.
:'''Six:''' And if it's not? I just don't want you to be disappointed. Six to White.
:'''White Knight:''' What's your status? Have you found the location?
:'''Six:''' Affirmative. But it seems we've been beaten to the punch.
:'''White Knight:''' Understood. Captain Calan... You have a go.
:'''Biwoulf:''' It should be here.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Your eyes deceive you, Biowulf.
:'''Rex:''' Should have been aiming at you.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Ahh. Providence at last. Traveling light, I see.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, we're just here to find the place. They're here to secure it.
:'''Six:''' Is it here?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Destroy them!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The compound's surrounded by a force field.
:'''White Knight:''' If you can't secure that base, we will take it out.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' We can't lose that formula.
:'''Six:''' Rex, get in there. We'll hold off the pack.
:'''Rex:''' Please don't blow me up.
:'''Biowulf:''' Master, you are in no condition for battle. Seek cover.
:'''Rex:''' Punks.
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' ''[From behind Rex with a gun]'' Don't move, or I'll drop you. Rex? Is-- Is that you?
:''[Dr. Rylander hugs Rex]''
:'''Rex:''' You... Know my name.
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' ''[Laughing]'' Of course I do! I gave it to you! I can't believe you're alive. What a stroke of luck.
:'''Rex:''' Dad?
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' You've lost your memory, haven't you? Not surprising, considering what you've been through. Oh. Yes. Well, sorry to disappoint you, Rex. I'm afraid I'm not who you want me to be.
:'''Rex:''' Oh. Okay. So, if you're not my dad, do you know where he is? Ah, well, "Rex Rylander" is a goofy name, anyway.
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' Come quickly. We don't have much time. I was so close to completing the code. There's been a problem with the molecular penetration, resulting in a sequencing gap.
:'''Rex:''' Dr. Rylander, I've got to know.
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' You must understand-- It was never about power or greed. It was about changing the world-- Saving mankind by putting and end to disease and starvation. And we would have succeeded... Until they got involved.
:'''Rex:''' What are you talking about?
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' The nanites were incomplete. The incident spread them across the globe before we could finish their final programming. Except for you. Yours were from a different batch-- The first, actually. All those... Innocent victims.
:'''Rex:''' If you feel so bad about it, why have you been attacking more people?
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' Hm. The chosen few. Those men and women, Rex, are far from innocent. While they hide in their office towers and gated estates, I've been here trying to set things right, to find a cure for what we created. I begged them for more funding.
:'''Rex:''' Wait! Everyone you attacked was... They all worked on the Nanite Project?
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' They commissioned it. I merely wished to send them a warning to show them what would happen if they refused to help finish the good work we started. And it was good, Rex. You're living proof that we were doing the right thing.
:'''Rex:''' ''[Indignant]'' By turning me into an EVO?!
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' You had an accident. The nanites were your only hope. It was a tremendous gamble. The... Unexpected side effects came later. It was a surprise to all of us.
:''[Dr. Rylander chuckles]''
:''Dr. Rylander:''' The look on your brother's face.
:'''Rex:''' Brother?
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' When the event occurred, it was yo powers that saved you both. Most of the others-- They weren't so lucky.
:'''Rex:''' ''[to himself]'' I'm not alone.
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' Oh, here. I have something for you.
:''[Injects the mighty and all-powerful Omega Nanite into his system]''
:'''Rex:''' Ow!
:'''Bobo:''' Whoa!
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' The force-field must be failing.
:'''Rex:''' Forget the force-field! What did you just inject me with?
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' ''[[w:Omnipotence |Everything]]''.
:'''Rex:''' Enough, okay?! Do you have any idea what it's been like-- Not knowing who I am, if my family's dead or alive?! Quit with the rambling mad-scientist act and give me some answers!
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' Forgive me, Rex. I've been so consumed with my own guilt, I didn't consider what you must be going through. The truth is--
:''[Dr. Rylander gasps]''
:''[Van Kleiss stabs Rylander from behind]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Truth, doctor? You wouldn't know the first thing about it. Nor loyalty, for that matter. How many times must I tell you this, Rex? The answers you so desperately seek lie with me. And as for you, doctor, consider our past disagreement settled. I look forward to continuing our research... Alone. This was unavoidable, Rex. The longer you resist me, the more people get hurt.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''

:''[Rex screams]''
:''[Rex grunts]''

:''[Rex groaning]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Six:''' Rex. Where's Rylander?
:'''Rex:''' Van Kleiss.
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:'''Six:''' The reactor is shot. This entire place is about to blow.
:'''Bobo:''' Don't have to tell me twice.
:'''Biowulf:''' Why do they run?
:'''Skalamander:''' Where is Van Kleiss?
:'''Six:''' No, I didn't see what happened. But according to Rex, Van Kleiss has been eliminated. Rylander's experiment is a total loss.
:'''Holiday:''' All of this for nothing. I'm sorry, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' It wasn't for nothing, doc. I've got a brother.... Out there... Somewhere. I'm not alone anymore. Finally, I've started to get some real answers. I feel closer to the truth than ever.
===The Forgotten===
:'''Six:''' Rex!
:'''Rex:''' It's like I'm hearing through my nanites.
<hr width80%>
:'''No-Face:''' You are not the Before.
:'''Rex:''' I'm not sure that was a complete sentence back then.
:'''No-Face:''' ''They'' are the Before! The Before forgot us. The Before left us in pain.

<hr width80%>
===Rabble===
:'''Quarry''': Come on, Rex. (''holds up Rex's journal'') We both know this is what you really want. So go ahead take it. Walk away. Show them who you really are. You were always very good a taking care of yourself. Why should now be any different?
:'''Rex''': (''Cuts his journal in two'') Whoever I was back then, is not who I am now. Not anymore.
:'''Quarry''': Your choice.
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex''': It's over, Quarry! You lose!
<hr width80%>
: '''Sqywwd:''' I hope you don't expect us to thank you.

: '''Tuck:''' Don't forget about us, Okay?
: '''Rex:''' That may be a promise I can't keep. (''Flies off on his Boogie Pack'')
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' It's going to happen again, isn't it? I'm going to blank out. How long do I have?
: '''Holiday:''' I don't know, Rex. It's likely triggered by a specific event; something traumatic.
===The Hunter===
:'''Man:''' It's-- It's Providence! Some kind of EVO attack!
:'''Rex:''' Aah! Oh. Huh. Good times. Bugs. I hate it when they dig.
:'''Six:''' We need to take it down fast before it causes any more damage.
:'''Rex:''' All right. Meet "Exterm" and "Nator"! Uh-- Yeah, I'm working on it. Ew! EVO breath.
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Unh! Aah! Come on! That's my favorite hand!
:''[Innocent Woman gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' Yeah! Down, boy! You're okay. This will all be over soon. Hyah!
:'''Six:''' I got the pincers. Now flip the switch on its nanites.
:'''Rex:''' Uh, don't exactly have the best luck with non-humans, remember?
:'''Six:''' Afraid to try?
:''[Rex sighs]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Six! It's working!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Enough!
:'''Rex:''' Unh! What's your damage, man? I was this close to curing that thing.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Didn't look that way to me. Filthy EVO.
:'''Rex:''' Filthy EVO?
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Give me a reason. Just one.
:'''Six:''' Lower your weapon.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' I know my rights. The law says we can defend ourselves against EVO scum.
:'''Rex:''' In case you didn't notice, that's exactly what we were doing. It's our job.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Really? Look around. These are our homes. What's left of them. Your job is making our lives worse.
:''[The crowd cheers]''
:'''Hunter Cain:''' These people have had enough.
:'''Rex:''' What are you talking about? We're here to help!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Do these people look like they want your kind of help? People know what's going on. Providence claims they're here to cure the world. But now they got one of those sickos working for them?! It makes you wonder whose side they're really on.
:'''Six:''' Come on, Rex. Let it go.
:'''Rex:''' Who does that guy think he is? I'm out there risking my neck every day. People love me.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[as Holiday is treating Rex]'' Some people just have too much hate in them to see things any other way. Hold still.
:'''Rex:''' Ow!
:'''Bobo:''' Don't sweat it, kid. Humans are idiots. End of story.
:'''Rex:''' Not all of them. But anyone who would believe what that guy has to say? Makes you wonder.
:'''Six:''' His name is Hunter Cain. Lost his wife a few months ago when she turned. Local authorities say this isn't the first EVO he's attacked.
:'''White Knight:''' Another hometown hero. Is he going to be a problem?
:'''Six:''' Usually, I'd say no. This time, I'm not so sure.
:'''Diane Farrah:''' Tonight on "Ultimate Exposure", the rise of Hunter Cain. ''[on television]'' Since his arrival on the scene just over a month ago, the Hunter has captured public's attention. Such common man aid such as Providence. He inspired men to following, including the making of his own personal army.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' We're dealing with an epidemic here, and we're the cure. When something is making you sick, you cut it out.
:'''Diane Farrah:''' And what of Providence's secret weapon? No longer so secret?
:'''Rex:''' Whoa!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' How can we protect our children from this disease when the very thing we're fighting against is walking free among us?
:'''Diane Farrah:''' But you know you can't catch EVO, like a cold.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Says who? Providence scientists? You're gonna trust them? We need to protect ourselves from this Rex and every other sicko like him. ''[on television]'' People should be able to draw their own conclusions.
:''[Rex grumbles]''
:'''Rex:''' ''[to the television while fighting an EVO]'' Arrgh! Here's my conclusion-- You're a lying whack job!
:'''Bobo:''' You know he can't hear you, right? Now can we finish this?
:'''Rex:''' See there? Nothing to worry about. Your old pal Rex making the streets safe. Uh, curing EVOs? Saving cute puppies?
:''[Rex chuckles]''
:'''Noah:''' Somebody's off the game.
:'''Rex:''' I'm just warming up.
:'''Noah:''' We've been playing for an hour. I saw the news. Hunter Cain really has it out for you.
:'''Rex:''' Forget him, Noah. I mean, this guy's a joke. Do you really think people believe what he's saying? Do you?
:'''Noah:''' It's complicated, Rex. People are afraid. They'll believe anything if it sounds like it will keep them safe. I know you're cool, but everyone else--
:'''Rex:''' They'll just have to be won over by my charm and personality.
:'''Boy:''' Yo, look-- It's him, the EVO from TV.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, what's up? Wanna play?
:'''Boy:''' Then catch your freak disease? Puh!
:'''Rex:''' So, that would be a no.
:'''Boy:''' Why don't you get lost? We don't want you and your EVO germs around here.
:'''Innocent Girl:''' Yeah!
:'''Noah:''' We don't want any trouble.
:'''Boy:''' Stay out of this, EVO-lover! You're the trouble, am I right?
:'''Innocent Girl:''' Yeah!
:'''Rex:''' Unh! Oh, now we're throwing rocks?
:'''Noah:''' You better go.
:'''Rex:''' No. I'm not gonna let a few jerks push me around.
:'''Noah:''' Rex, it's more than a few.
:'''Rex:''' Unh! Okay. Back off. I said, back off!
:'''Boy:''' Unh!
:'''Rex:''' Aah! That was an accident! I wasn't trying to hurt him. Come on, it's not like that. I'm not-- Unh!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' You want EVO?! That's what you want?! Try to run me over with your big, dumb buss!
:''[Rex breathing heavily]''
:'''Noah:''' Rex, you really have to get out of here.
:'''Rex:''' I didn't mean-- I-I have to explain.
:'''Noah:''' It's way too late for that. Go! Go now! Go!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' This is exactly what I was warning about. Providence insists on sheltering this dangerous EVO, letting it endanger our families with its nanites. Is that helping us? Not a chance.
:'''Boy:''' Yeah. It tried to infect me. It's a miracle I'm still alive.
:'''Instigator:''' I saw what it could do. We're lucky to have a good man like Hunter Cain protecting us.
:'''Innocent Woman:''' I thought Rex was helping, but is it really safe having him around?
:'''White Knight:''' This is a officially completely out of control!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex was only defending himself. Hunter Cain is whipping the public into a frenzy.
:'''Bobo:''' Why am I not surprised? Humans are sheep. I should shave him and make a coat.
:'''White Knight:''' We should have dealt with this sooner. Can't someone put a lid on this guy?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' We have truth on our side. Once we discredit him, this is over.
:'''Rex:''' Uh, two slices of apple.
:'''Noah:''' Let's just go, okay? You said we were going for pie.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah. Pie at his favorite restaurant. I just want to talk.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' I've got nothing to say to you.
:'''Rex:''' Then just listen. You hate EVOs. I get it. A lot of them are really bad news. But I'm not. People need to know the truth. I don't wanna hurt anyone.
:''[Hunter Cain smirks sarcastically]''
:''[Hunter Cain scoffs]''
:'''Rex:''' What have I ever done to you?
:'''Hunter Cain:''' You're infected.
:'''Rex:''' We're all infected, every one of us. Even you.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Providence lies.
:'''Rex:''' That's just-- Argh! You are a moron!
:'''Noah:''' Rex--
:'''Hunter Cain:''' What are you? The world's big hope? I don't need an EVO to save me. And they don't, either. We don't need you. We don't need Providence.
:'''Instigator:''' We gotta go after him?
:'''Hunter Cain:''' No. His day is coming.
:'''Rex:''' They don't want my help? Fine! No more flying to the rescue. No more turning giant blobs back into mailmen.
:'''Bobo:''' Works for me.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' But the people who really do need you, they're the ones who'll really suffer.
:'''Bobo:''' Ah. Details.
:'''Rex:''' They don't think I'm any different than those things down in the Petting Zoo, why should I care?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Because someone has to. Most people have given up hope, Rex. Since you came here, that's changing. Don't let one man's anger get in the way.
:'''Rex:''' That's the problem, doc. It isn't just one man. I walk down the street and everyone looks at me like I'm gonna turn them into some monster. Forget it! I'm through.
:'''Bobo:''' ''[Sighs]'' Well, if you want my opinion--
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I don't.
:'''White Knight:''' Full-scale alert! I want strike teams geared up and ready to deploy!
:'''Providence Agent:''' This is Alpha Team-- Ready! Bravo Team a go! Weapons check! Nothing yet, sir. No sign of-- Sweet mother of mercy! Open fire! Open fire! Alpha Team-- We're surrounded! We're cut off! They're on top of us. They're right on top of us! Bravo Team-- We're pinned down! We're pinned down! To your left, to your left! Look out! Aah! Send reinforcements! Send everything!
:'''White Knight:''' How did we get such a huge concentration of EVOs in one place? Did you talk to Rex?
:'''Six:''' Still says no.
:'''White Knight:''' Get down there with another team and clean this mess up. Wipe it if you have to.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' See that, folks? Providence isn't the only answer. What happened to its hero? What about Rex?
:'''Providence Agent:''' Blasters are useless against these things. Whatever they have is working.
:'''Rex:''' Get popper, people!
:'''Six:''' Glad you could make it.
:'''Rex:''' Tired of seeing someone else do my job-- Poorly, I might add.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Not this time, freak.
:'''Six:''' Rex!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Can't you just die already?
:'''Rex:''' I don't do dying. You're not so-- You have no idea who you're trying to kill. You're done. I just want to know why.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' You push hope where there isn't any. There's no saving EVOs. There can't be! You're a sickness. And you need to be destroyed.
:'''Rex:''' Ouch!
:'''Instigator:''' Hunter! Help us! Please! We're out of the ammo! The EVOs! They're everywhere!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Cost me everything I had for those cloned EVOs.
:'''Rex:''' This was a setup.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' A demonstration to prove how worthless Providence is.
:'''Rex:''' Did you hear that guy? It's not exactly working.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Every war has its casualties.
:'''Rex:''' You're our one match-up dude!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Well, what are you waiting for? Show everyone who you really are.
:'''Rex:''' I will. I don't care what you think about me. I don't care what anyone thinks. Not anymore. The people want to hate me? I can't stop them. But it's not going to stop me from doing my job! You want to know why? Because I'm awesome. Try not to fall. I got this! Well? Adios!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' There's a fight coming. It's time to choose sides.
:'''Instigator:''' You showed me we didn't have to be helpless anymore. But sometimes, you still gotta ask for help.
:'''Rex:''' He's not the only one out there like that, is he?
:'''Six:''' Unfortunately, no.
:'''Innocent Woman:''' Sometimes you just get the wrong idea. He's fighting for us.
:'''Innocent Boy:''' He saved my mother!
:'''Innocent Girl:''' He saved my dog!
:'''Old Man:''' He saved my priest.
:'''Diane Farrah:''' ''[on television]'' Providence's secret weapon-- A teenage boy named Rex. Hero? Abomination? Humanity's last hope? You decide.
:''[TV turns off]''
:'''Rex:''' Well, a few people get it. That's a start.
:'''Bobo:''' What can I say that I haven't said already? Humans are idiots. But every once in a while, they get it right.
===Gravity===
:'''Pete Volkov:''' ''[Russian accent]'' Magnetic containment unit functioning perfectly.
:'''Bouvier:''' ''[French accent]'' Commencing Bouvier algorithm.
:'''Dr. Rhodes:''' The code looks good.
:'''Bouvier:''' Why, of course it looks good. I wrote it.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Separating Nanite "Q" sample from control group. Dr. Rhodes, magnification, please. Thank you. Salvatore, begin molecular separation. Here it is. "De-com" nanite, version two hundred fourty-three. Commencing protocol.
:'''Bobo:''' If this works, you may be out of a job.
:'''Rex:''' You see me complaining? If Providence wants the armored soldiers with reprogrammed nanites that cure EVOs, that's fine by me. I'll finally have my weekends free.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's working. The De-com nanites are deactivating the control group.
:'''Dr. Rhodes:''' Toast of deactivation achieved.
:'''Bouvier:''' A toast to me. What? You think this could have worked without my nanite immobilizing algorithm?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hold off on the high-fives. The nanites are back online-- And self-destructing. Shut it down. We'll reset and try again.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' I cannot shut it down.
:'''Bouvier:''' Impossible. All the simulations I ran--
:'''Zag-RS:''' We're perfect. This new data will be most helpful.
:'''Dr. Rhodes:''' Who said that?
:'''Rex:''' Zag-RS.
:'''Comm-Tech:'''I'm detecting a data signal from the station to a location off-site.
:'''Rex:''' Doc, you remember that psycho computer program that was gonna destroy the world? She's back.
:'''Zag-RS:''' I prefer "artificial intelligence." And I don't plan to destroy the world, just all the nanites in it. Admittedly, every creature infested with them will die.
:'''Bobo:''' Hey, I resemble that remark!
:'''Rex:''' Didn't happen last time. Not gonna happen now, Zag!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Actually, Rex, if it has this program in its current state, that's exactly what will happen.
:'''Rex:''' Out of my way! Out of my way!
:'''Comm Tech:''' The data stream is being routed through our relay switch here at Providence. You'll need to turn it off.
:'''Rex:''' It's off.
:'''White Knight:''' Well?
:'''Comm Tech:''' Negative, sir. It's now streaming directly to an unknown location. We've lost the feed.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' How far along is the experiment download?
:'''Bouvier:''' Uh, uh... 72%.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Dr. Rhodes, the communication controls-- Kill that feed at the source. Volkov, help me contain the A.I. We need a firewall to stop it from getting off the ship. The data is encrypted. If we can stop it in time, the information will be useless.
:'''Bouvier:''' 84%. There's no time.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Zag-RS must not leave this station. You saw those test nanites blow up. Do you want that to happen inside every living thing on Earth? It's just trying to distract us. Rhodes, unplug the containment unit.
:'''Zag-RS:''' Your efforts are pointless.
:'''Bouvier:''' 95% downloaded. 97%. 98%.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Unh!
:'''Pete Volkov:''' We prevented it from escaping the station, but it seems to be hiding in the navigation system.
:'''Dr. Rhodes:''' How did it get here in the first place? All our system software was thoroughly scrubbed.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Actually, not all of it. Someone insisted their groundbreaking program come in on a separate drive.
:''[Bouvier stammers]''
:'''Bouvier:''' This is not my fault.
:'''White Knight:''' Holiday, you're losing altitude! Can you correct your vector?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Negative, Providence. We're locked out of navigation. Zag-RS is doing that.
:'''Rex:''' What happens if they can't correct the vector thing?
:'''Six:''' They'll crash into the atmosphere and disintegrate.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Bouvier, you brought it on board. Now let's go erase it.
:'''Bouvier:''' I swear, I did not know this would happen. The algorithm-- It was too easy to write. It practically created itself.
:'''Dr. Rhodes:''' Dr. Holiday, I'll come.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' If there's power in the system, she'll just keep hiding until it reboots. We'll have to ditch the power core and go for a complete shutdown.
:'''Dr. Rhodes:''' You positive? Aah!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Aah!
:'''Six:''' Holiday, what happened?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Zag-RS opened the door on Rhodes. I have to stop her before she gets us all.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Stop! You can't do this! No put the station spin! It's suicide!
:'''Bouvier:''' So is staying here. I at least give myself a chance!
:'''Comm Tech:''' We've got system failures. Multiple hull impacts.
:'''Six:''' Providence to station-- Status.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Bouvier decided to leave early. I'm going to jettison the power core. We'll lose, well, pretty much everything.
:'''Rex:''' But you'll get the station back on track, right, doc?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' We can always hope, Rex. Holiday out.
:'''Rex:''' Hey, doc? Doc?!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Looks like it's just you and me, Pete. What's our status?
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Battery life support, but that's all.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Any sign of Zag-RS?
:'''Comm Tech:''' Orbital decaying is increasing. And as long as they're tumbling, launching the other capsule is too dangerous.
:'''Rex:''' Well, send someone to fix it.
:'''White Knight:''' How long to prep a shuttle?
:'''Comm Tech:''' Twelve hours. They'll hit the atmosphere and break up in about two.
:'''Six:''' We need options.
:'''Comm Tech:''' Could try the space elevator.
:'''Rex:''' Perfect! Put me on it and I can fix the station!
:'''White Knight:''' It's only for cargo. The G-Forces alone would kill a person.
:'''Rex:''' Uh, hello? Have we met? Not exactly a normal person here.
:'''White Knight:''' We can't afford to lose you too, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' No one's losing anyone! Come on, Knight. Have I ever not made it work?
:'''Six:''' Replacement power core and relays. The elevator doesn't reach the station's orbit altitude, so you'll use the freight sled at the top of the station.
:'''Rex:''' Sure you don't want to come?
:'''Bobo:''' Yeah, chip's a bad history with space, so-- No. Have a good trip, try not to die.
:'''Six:''' ''[Rex is on the space elevator]'' How's it going?
:'''Rex:''' Oh! Great! Thanks for asking.
:'''Six:''' Good. Because we need to speed you up to make the rendezvous window.
:'''Rex:''' But-- Aah!
:''[Elevator accelerates]''
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' What was that?
:'''Six:''' You crashed through the station.
:'''Rex:''' That's not supposed to happen, is it?
:'''Six:''' Problem with the braking mechanism. If you can't stop, you'll keep going... Forever.
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' Aaaaaah!
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' Stopped it.
:'''White Knight:''' Can he make the rendezvous?
:'''Six:''' Ah, yes. Rex, they made a slight miscalculation in the rate of the station's orbital decay.
:'''Rex:''' Uh-huh. Define "slight." Unh!
:'''Six:''' Rex! Rex, do you read?
:'''Rex:''' Ow. Aah! Unh! Hope the doorbell works.
:''[Rex breathing heavily]''
:'''Rex:''' Unh!
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' Mission control, I made it aboard. Mission control, come in! Oh, great! The radio. Well, welcome aboard to you, too. Hello? Doc? Anyone here?
:''[Rex spots the station falling towards him]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[opening the door]'' Rex?!
:''[Rex sighs]''
:''[Dr. Holiday hugs Rex]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' What do you-- How did you--
:'''Rex:''' Space elevator. Can you believe it?
:'''Pete Volkov:''' The impact a few minutes ago.
:'''Rex:''' Oh. Yeah. Let's just say "down" is no longer an option.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not many options here, either. The power's nearly gone. Communications are shot. We only have a little time left before we hit the atmosphere.
:'''Rex:''' So, how about you two put on your thinking caps and figure out what we need to do to not crash and burn?
:'''Pete Volkov:''' We need power to do anything.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' But Zag-RS--
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Should have been deleted in the power-core purge.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Fine. But both solar arrays are damaged, and the couplings are shot.
:'''Rex:''' Let me give it a try.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' What can he do? This requires precision, not smashing.
:'''Rex:''' Hmm.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' We can use Salvatore. Look, Volkov, Rex may not look like much, but having him here, he may actually save us.
:'''Rex:''' Thanks for the vote of confidence.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Dr. Holiday leads Rex away. Quietly to Rex]'' If you blow it, we're dead. Got it? Start with the couplings and see if we can use the solar arrays to generate any power.
:'''Rex:''' How's the robot, uh...?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's voice activated. Salvatore, pick up those yellow coupling cables.
:'''Rex:''' How's that feel?
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Slightly less catastrophic, thank you.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' No. No computers. If Zag-RS is somehow still in there--
:'''Pete Volkov:''' How do we stabilize this station without gyroscopic control of the thruster jets?
:'''Rex:''' ''[as Rex is space walking]'' Pretty incredible up here, isn't it, guys?
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Aside from the imminent doom, yes. Awe-inspiring.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, the thrusters are normally controlled through the navigation software. I need you to bypass the system and connect the thrusters directly to the command module.
:'''Rex:''' I can't reach the thruster from here without-- Hold on to this, will you, Salvatore?
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Are you sure you know what you're doing?
:'''Rex:''' Not a clue. Try the controls now. Reel me in, Sally. Salvatore? Okay. Fire it up!
:'''Pete Volkov:''' We might have a tiny chance of getting out of your life. Altitude burn in three, two, one.
:''[Pete Volkov scoffs]''
:'''Pete Volkov:''' There must have been a fuel leak in the collision.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' At least we're stable enough for an evac now. Rex, take Salvatore and retrieve the containment unit. We'll prep the escape capsule.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Is this a bad time to observe there's only two seats in the escape capsule and three of us?
:'''Rex:''' Easy. You can sit on the floor, Volkov. Too bad we can't take sparky with. I could really go for a robo-butler.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Talk with Knight when we get home. I think we can go now.
:'''Zag-RS:''' Correction. Now I can go. You were right to shut the station down. I would have regained control if you hadn't. Fortunately, I was able to download myself into something autonomous.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' That is our only means of survival! You can't take it!
:'''Zag-RS:''' Incorrect.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Be careful, the hole.
:'''Rex:''' Sorry, Professor, but this requires smashing, not precision. Get to the capsule!
:'''Zag-RS:''' It seems you've forgotten my ability to destroy nanites at close range, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' Thanks for the reminder.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' ''[to Dr. Holiday]'' Why worry about hitting the atmosphere? These two will get us first.
:'''Rex:''' Hey. Trying to stop a killer robot over here. "Thanks" or "Keep it up" would do fine.
:'''Zag-RS:''' To defeat me, you'll have to destroy the station and everyone on board. But I did enjoy stabilizing the station with you. Please exit the capsule now.
:'''Rex:''' Forget stable.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, come on!
:'''Rex:''' Can't... do it. I'm spent. Go. Launch while you can.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not 'til you're in here!
:'''Rex:''' You got the nanites. If anyone can figure out how to make'em work, it's you. You won't even need me anymore. I'll hold her off!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Launch!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Dr. Holiday throws the nanites at Zag RS. Then Holiday runs up to Rex]'' Rex, you never gave up on us. We're not giving up on you. Now get in here so we can go home!
:'''Zag-RS:''' This is not... over.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, it is for now.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Engaging stabilizers. The heat shield is damaged. It appears we are going to die... again.
:'''Rex:''' I got your heat shield... right here! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot! Oh-ho! Hot! Hot! Hot! Aah!
:'''White Knight:''' Shut it down.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Providence, this is Holiday. We're clear of re-entry and deploying parachute. Think you could arrange a pickup?
:'''Six:''' On its way. You'll be happy to know we're in contact with Rhodes. Their spacesuit saved her. We're prepping a shuttle now.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Thanks. And Six-- It's good to hear your voice.
:'''Rex:''' Listen, doc. About up there, just before we got away from the robot--
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' After you came all that way to get me, it's the least I could do.
:'''Rex:''' So, how long until we get picked up?
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Bad news. Transponder is toast.
:'''Rex:''' Ha! You two better not get seasick.
===What Lies Beneath===
: '''Circe:''' Rex, it's me.
: '''Rex:''' Circe? What do ''you'' want!?
: '''Circe:''' Things in Abysus- they're bad, Rex. I need your help.
: '''Rex:''' Oh, well, how do I put this nicely? Not a chance! You made your choice, Circe! I made mine. End of story.
: '''Circe:''' Please, Rex. I know you're mad at me, but this is a matter of life and death.
: '''Rex:''' A lot of things are right now. Nice talking to you.
: '''Circe:''' Rex!?
: (''Looks crestfallen'')
<hr width80%>
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I didn't know you were still in touch with Circe.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, me neither. Can we please stop talking about this?
<hr width80%>
: '''Holiday:''' She's very pretty.
: '''Rex:''' She works for Van Kleiss. She's the enemy.
: '''Holiday:''' But you still like her, don't you?
: '''Rex:''' I am ''not'' talking about this!
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe:''' Rex, thank you.
: '''Rex:''' I'm not doing this for you. But...your welcome. (''Circe similes hopefully'') So what exactly am I supposed to do?
:'''Holiday:''' When I said you were the key, I meant that literally. According to the plans, the machine needs to be turned on by a molecular level.
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' You ''lied'' to me!!
: '''Circe:''' You wouldn't have come if I told you the truth.
: '''Rex:''' This wasn't about you needing ''me''!! This is about you needing Van Kleiss!!
: '''Circe:''' I need you both. Please, Rex, you don't understand.
: '''Rex:''' No!! ''You'' don't understand!! Van Kleiss is gone and I intend to keep it that way!!
: '''Biowulf:''' You destroyed us all!!
: '''Six:''' Don't even breathe.
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe:''' You don't know what you've done.
: '''Rex:''' Then, I guess we're even.
: '''Circe:''' You've never understood his power. Van Kleiss kept us safe here. His force was the only thing keeping Abysus together, and you destroyed that.
: '''Rex:''' We're done here!!
: '''Holiday:''' Rex, I think she's right. Nanites operate on a molecular level. If they bonded with Van Kleiss, breaking off his connection must have caused a splinter; resulting in a disastrous chain reaction.
: '''Rex:''' I'm ''not'' bringing him back! ''Not now, not ever!!'' Besides, you don't need Van Kleiss! You have me!! Why not go straight to the source?!
:'''Holiday:''' Rex, no!
:'''Six:''' Stand down! It's too dangerous!
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' Let go of me!!
: '''Holiday:''' If you keep fighting these unstable nanites, they're going to destroy you!
: '''Rex:''' And if I don't they'll destroy everybody else.
: '''Holiday:''' Not if you listen to me! I have an idea. It's a long shot. Instead of fighting the nanites, ''communicate'' with them.
: '''Six:''' You want to talk to the nanites?
: '''Holiday:''' He's done it before.
: '''Rex:''' Never anything this big.
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' I got you! Don't let go!! (''Rex struggles to save Circe from falling as she clings to him; tears fill her eyes''). ''Circe!!'' (''as she falls into the black goop of highly unstable nanites'')
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' ''Circe!'' Six! Dr. Holiday! Okay, you win. (''technopathically starts the machine''). Something's...not right.
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' Circe! Come on, breathe!
: '''Circe''' (''coughs weakly'')''':''' Hey.
: '''Rex:''' Hey.
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' Stay with us, Circe. Van Kleiss is done.
: '''Circe:''' As much as I care about you, Rex, Van Kleiss and the Pack are my family. They took me in when no one else would. I can't abandon them.
: '''Rex:''' So that's it. We're always going to be on opposite sides.
: '''Circe:''' It does keep it interesting.
===The Swarm===
:'''Rex''' (thinking'')''':''' ''Gotta stay under. Not sure I can...make it.
:(''Has visions of those most dear to him: Noah, his crush Circe, Holiday, Six, Bobo)
===Basic===
===The Plague===
:'''White Knight:''' The country was infected in three hours. The entire North American continent was asleep in five. All satellites are offline and there's been no communication from overseas. The Plague hit Providence before quarantine protocols could be established. Dr. Holiday has managed to keep herself awake using electric neural stimulation. EVOs seem to be immune to the Plague, which leaves us with only one agent left to deal with this mess.
:'''Rex:''' Ugh! This is gonna be a... long day.
:'''White Knight:''' It's gonna be the last stop for those commuters if you can't catch that train.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, I know. But I gotta find it first. Huh? Uh, found it. Ughh! Whoa! Ugh!
:'''White Knight:''' Rex, report.
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' Mission accomplished. I'm heading back to the lab. Oh, man. I'm gonna be sore for weeks.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' ''[Sighing]'' Oh. This is seriously wearing me out. Come on, Rex. Pull it together. Ugh!
:'''White Knight:''' Dr. Holiday is heading to the initial outbreak area now. She's come up short as to any way of reversing the Plague. I'm counting on her solving this before the electric shocks damage her brain beyond usefulness.
:''[Rex yawns loudly]''
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' This is like spitting on a forest fire. Things are probably going wrong in every city on Earth.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Every life saved counts, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, I know. How are Six and Bobo? But Bobo's an EVO.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Same as the others, asleep. He should have been immune like you.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I-I don't have a clue about this thing.
:''[Dr. Holiday gets shocked]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Ugh! And these shocks won't keep me awake forever.
:'''White Knight:''' All the more reason not to waste any more time!
:'''Rex:''' She's not wasting time!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' No, he's right. We've got sixty hours at best before people start dying of thirst.
:'''White Knight:''' And hundred or so will die within the hour if the downtown fire spreads any further.
:'''Rex:''' ''[Sighs]'' Oh. Back to work.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Something told billions of viruses to evolve into a sleeping Plague. The key to solving this is finding Patient Zero.
:'''White Knight:''' Get up to the Cayuga dam now. The floodgates are closed. It'll crack if you don't relieve the pressure.
:'''Rex:''' So, how do we find Patient Zero?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' That's not going to be so easy.
:'''Rex:''' Huh? Whoa! Ugh! Oh, come on! Hope you like fish sticks for dinner, doc.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' If we can find the frequency that connected Patient Zero to the nanites, we can trace it back to him.
:'''Rex:''' Fantastic. I find Patient Zero, shut him down, and, boom, everybody wakes up ready for breakfast.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Yes. No. I mean, maybe. Ugh, I'm so tired. I can't think.
:''[Dr. Holiday gets shocked]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Ugh! And these stupid shocks.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I don't know what I'm doing anymore. Maybe I should be studying Bobo instead.
:'''Rex:''' Easy, doc. Deep breaths. Is there anything I can do?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Oof. Lost it there. I'm okay. I modified this scanner to find the nanite control frequency.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' But it could take hours.
:'''White Knight:''' Dr. Holiday, where's my update?
:'''Rex:''' Do you really think she'd keep it a secret if she found something? She's been working around the clock.
:'''White Knight:''' And that's the way it's going to be until we figure this out.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Just give me a moment. ''[Sleepily]'' I can find the--
:'''Rex:''' Doc! Doc!
:'''White Knight:''' ''[after Holiday passes out]'' That's great. She couldn't stay awake an hour or two more?
:'''Rex:''' At least she was working on the problem.
:'''White Knight:''' She's doing her job. Which is what I expect from both of you. Where are you going?
:'''Rex:''' To Follow Doc's plan.
:''[the door closes]''
:'''Rex:''' You can stay there and decide if you're good for anything besides yelling at people.
:''[Rex breathes heavily]''
:'''White Knight:''' We're down to eighteen hours before we start losing people.
:'''Rex:''' Like I don't know that?
:'''White Knight:''' What's the holdup?
:'''Rex:''' I just need a second.
:'''White Knight:''' If you can't handle this--
:'''Rex:''' What are you gonna do-- Shuffle some papers at me? I'm all you've got, so back off!
:''[Ends the transmission]''
:'''White Knight:''' You are not that special, kid. And there is way too much at stake now. White Knight protocols. Code designation-- Iron Mace Alpha. Commence systems check. Confirm nanite shielding integrity. Put a hustle on, hotshot. Once it's dark, it'll be harder to find anything.
:'''Rex:''' Fine! You want speed?
:''[Rex gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! Ugh! Ugh. Hey, freak face. The buffet is closed.
:''[Rex breathes heavily]''
:'''Rex:''' I can't. I can't do this by myself any more.
:'''White Knight:''' [Arriving] You don't have to.
:'''Rex:''' Whoa. Nice suit.
:'''White Knight:''' Thrill me.
:'''Rex:''' White Knight out of the office? This really is the end of the world.
:'''White Knight:''' I'm trying to prevent that.
:'''Rex:''' This isn't exactly a desk job. Think you can keep up?
:'''White Knight:''' I'll manage.
:'''Rex:''' Okay. But as my sidekick, you need to have a cool name. How about "Gizmodude"? No, no, no. How about "Robopants"?
:'''White Knight:''' Anything? Before they went offline, the satellites showed that the Plague started in this area. Patient Zero is somewhere down there.
:'''Rex:''' What do you want me to do, go door to door like I'm looking for a little lost puppy?
:'''White Knight:''' If we don't find and neutralize the source of the Plague, we'll need to take drastic measures.
:'''Rex:''' The "Make you glow in the dark" kind? Come on. Pass. Maybe we can narrow our search. He's Patient Zero, right? The first one sick. So, maybe he was already at a doctor's office or a hospital.
:'''White Knight:''' The keep's records show eight clinics, two major hospitals, and eighty-two general practitioners.
:'''Rex:''' See? Now we're getting somewhere. Try and keep up.
:'''White Knight:''' I don't know how Six does it.
:'''Rex:''' Huh? Ugh! Ah! Aah!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Sorry. Won't happen again. I'm-- I'm-- I'm fine.
:'''White Knight:''' Take five. You're useless to me as a zombie.
:'''Rex:''' No, don't want to slow things... up. Okay, okay, I'm awake! Make up your mind.
:'''White Knight:''' It's not me.
:'''Rex:''' It found the frequency! Ooh, looks like a tight fit. Someone needs to lay off the milkshakes. I got it covered. You have serious control issues. Wait here. Interesting. Huh. Don't be surprised if you get a bill for that. I think this is the virus.
:'''White Knight:''' Viruses are too small to see.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, but it's an EVO virus, remember? I'd say we've got the right place. It's still changing. I don't think he's finished going EVO.
:'''White Knight:''' All right. Get to it.
:'''Rex:''' Let's hope this guy is curable.
:''[Rex gasps]''
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' What? Uh, I don't get it. It's working but it's not. He just heals. What are you doing?
:'''White Knight:''' We're out of options.
:'''Rex:''' No! I'm trying to cure him!
:'''White Knight:''' And failing. Back up.
:'''Rex:''' But, Dr. Holiday--
:'''White Knight:''' Is not here. She said he was the key. You tried your way, it didn't work.
:'''Rex:''' You're not doing this!
:'''White Knight:''' It's not up for debate.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' If you vaporize him and it doesn't work, we've got no Chance to reverse this Plague.
:'''White Knight:''' And you're suddenly the genius that's gonna figure it out? We have only hours before people start dying. Now move aside.
:'''Rex:''' No. Stop it, Knight, before these people get hurt.
:'''White Knight:''' Just as soon as you step away.
:'''Rex:''' Aah! ''[about Knight's armored suit]'' That wasn't built to fight EVOs. That was built to fight me!
:'''White Knight:''' It's for our own protection.
:'''Rex:''' Well, let's see how well it works. You've never trusted me.
:'''White Knight:''' I don't trust anything with nanites.
:'''Rex:''' Everything has nanites!
:''[Rex strains]''
:'''White Knight:''' Eveything but me.
:'''Rex:''' Whoa!
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''White Knight:''' Didn't you ever wonder why I live in a sterilized box? That's why I run Providence. I can't be corrupted. I'll never evolve into some freak that betrays his team. I'm the only one that can be trusted.
:'''Rex:''' Well, here's the update, Knight-- Everybody on the planet has nanites-- Everybody but you. That makes me normal. You're the freak. You are unbelievable.
:'''White Knight:''' I'm ready to hear your theories, doctor.
:'''Rex:''' Still? What, I gotta do this a piece at a time? Okay.
:'''White Knight:''' Should've let me take him out when I still could.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, well, maybe if I devolve enough pieces of his armor, you'll get a decent shot in.
:'''White Knight:''' Get to it.
:'''Rex:''' Hmm. Wait. Pieces. It's lots of pieces. It's working, but on the wrong EVO. That's not Patient Zero, that's the virus. Patient Zero was under all that gross stuff. The outside part is mutating to defend him. He's commanding the viruses to protect him. The Plague was his first offense!
:'''White Knight:''' How does this help us?
:'''Rex:''' Just like Holiday said, Patient Zero is the key. I get his nanites to send out a wake-up call, then Kieran.
:'''White Knight:''' And how are you gonna get to him under all that?
:'''Rex:''' I need that thing to eat me. Yeah, I know. The crazy thing is, it's the second time I've done this today. Do it! Aah.
:'''Computer:''' Suit integrity compromised. Nanite breach imminent. Suit integrity re-established.
:'''Rex:''' ''[From inside the EVO]'' What's going on out there? You have to keep it still.
:'''White Knight:''' Right. Next time, I'll let it kill me.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' Okay. This shouldn't be hard. Ugh!
:''[Rex spits]''
:'''Rex:''' Ugh!
:''[Patient Zero gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' No! I'm not trying to hurt you.
:'''Computer:''' Suit integrity compromised. Nanite breach imminent.
:''[Rex strains]''
:'''Rex:''' Just calm down! Nobody's going to hurt you. You're safe. Time to wake them up.
:'''Computer:''' Suit integrity compromised. Nanite breach imminent. Suit integrity compromised. Nanite breach imminent.
:''[White Knight groans]''
:'''White Knight:''' Doctor, where's my update?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Still waiting on casualty reports. Of course, there would have been a lot more if it hadn't been for Rex.
:'''White Knight:''' It's his job, isn't it? What about the monkey?
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Still asleep.
:'''White Knight:''' Get on that. If this gives us a viral weapon against EVOs, we can put this week in the plus column.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' You got him in time. Still 100% nanite-free. I'm surprised you saved him.
:'''Rex:''' In a weird way, White Knight and I are sort of alike. We're both one-of-a-kind. And that's worth something.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm proud of you, Rex-- Not just for this, but for figuring everything out.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, sure. You know, it was, uh, pretty obvious.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Now, if we could only figure out what went wrong with Bobo. I'm worried the virus may have triggered a permanent reaction.
:''[Bobo yawns]''
:'''Bobo:''' Boy, those guys in the motor pool sure know how to party. Whoa. How long was I out? And I'm starving! Who's up for breakfast? Good night, Bobo.
===Promises, Promises===
:''Note:'' This episode depicts how young Rex had joined Providence via Six's [[w:flashback episode|memories]].
<hr width80%>
:''[Six narrates over imagery of the Nanite Event.]''
:'''Six:''' The names and faces may change, but no matter how you slice it, war is war. You pick a side and you don’t look back. I believe that now and I believed it then. What gets you in trouble is when you start second guessing. Forget what you’re fighting for and you’re finished.
:'''Diane Farrah:''' ''[Panicked screaming is heard in the background of an EVO attack]'' There’s another entity has emerged, this time in the heart of Paris. Authorities are vastly unprepared. Unless a decisive response to this pandemic is marshalled, the city will fall just as Kiev— ''[Diane Farrah gets snatched by the EVO’s web]''
:''[A Providence assault vehicle rams through police cars, from which Six appears and deals with the EVO.]''
:'''White Knight:''' Save some for me partner! How else am I gonna earn my paycheck?
:''[Knight fires off a weapon and the scene cuts to present day at Providence Headquarters.]''
:'''Providence Agents:''' Surprise!
:'''Rex:''' So, the flu shots?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I needed an excuse to get you here. We’ll do them after cake. I’ll get you Van Kleiss! ''[Holiday swings at a pinata blindfolded before Rex crushes it with his smack hands]''
:'''Rex:''' Sorry, Doc, it was taking too long. And it was either that or throw some of your cake at it.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Holiday walks over to Six at a corner, passing him a drink]'' You’re looking festive.
:'''Six:''' It was an odd choice to pick today to be his birthday.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It is the anniversary of his new life here. He deserves a celebration, he changed everything.
:'''Six:''' Has he?
:'''Rex:''' ''[Rex jumps onto a counter, speaking to the agents surrounding him]'' Ha-hah! How about hitting The Petting Zoo for a little pin-the-tail on the raging “Rhinocesaurus”?
:'''Dr. Holiday and Six:''' No.
:'''Rex:''' Every party has a pooper. And I got two.
:'''Providence Agents:''' ''[Providence Agents turn off the lights and bring Rex a birthday cake]'' Happy Birthday!
:'''Rex:''' Dudes!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' You should be celebrating too, Six! After all, you’re the one who started this. In a way, it’s your birthday too.
:''[Flashback to Six and Knight walking through the Petting Zoo during construction of Providence HQ.]''
:'''White Knight:''' Nyquist. Fortier. How’s the monkey business?
:'''Nyquist:''' Ha ha-larious, Knight.
:'''Fortier:''' Hey, for your information we probably saved the world today.
:'''White Knight:''' I, for one, feel safer already.
:''[Knight states, looking at Bobo while Six walks towards his cage]''
:'''Bobo:''' So, green man. We meet again!
:'''Calan:''' They found him at the Kremlin this time. He was threatening to push the button unless someone brought him a thousand pounds of caviar.
:'''Bobo:''' Chimp’s gotta eat.
:'''Fortier:''' What about your little bug hunt? Give you much trouble?
:'''White Knight:''' Nothing we couldn’t handle.
:''[The EVO is transported in a cage overhead while Knight and Six walk through a hallway.]''
:'''White Knight:''' What? Not even a smile? Oh by the way, happy birthday. ''[Knight passes Six a gift]''
:'''Six:''' How did you know?
:'''White Knight:''' I’m your partner. Can’t keep much from me.
:'''Six:''' Thanks.
:'''White Knight:''' So what crawled up your coat?
:'''Six:''' I’m getting tired of all this fighting. Did you see how many there are now? Are we gonna cage the whole world?
:'''White Knight:''' ''[Knight turns around, placing a hand on Six's shoulder]'' We’re preserving the human race. ''[The door to the processing facility opens]'' Besides, who says we’re gonna cage them all?
:'''Dr. Fell:''' ''[Looking at the EVO]'' And to think, this was once spinning webs in someone’s garden. Doctor Holiday, prepare for disassembly. ''[Doctor Holiday nods and activates the procedure as per his instructions. Doctor Fell sports a wicked smile during the experiment before it disintegrates the EVO without a trace]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It’s the same exact data as last time, and the time before that; Doctor Fell, why aren’t we studying them in a natural setting?
:'''Dr. Fell:''' Only through molecular dissection will we find a way to expunge this threat. The committee agrees with me on this. If you do not approve, I can always find another assistant.
:'''White Knight:''' ''[Doctor Holiday leaves the facility in frustration with Doctor Fell]'' Bleeding hearts. They’ll get us all killed one day.
:''[Holiday walks down a hallway and drops several notes, one of which Six picks up.]''
:'''Six:''' EVO?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Exponentially Variegated Organism; a little more scientific than spoiled meat. That is what you hired guns call them isn’t it?
:'''Six:''' It's Six, and I don't use guns. You told Fell we could learn more by bringing them in alive. What did you mean?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The nanites are altering our DNA, but with the right type of research, there's no doubt they could be programmed to stop or reverse the process. Imagine a third option to this, kill-or-Contain protocol.
:'''Six:''' A third option?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' A cure.
:'''White Knight:''' ''[Knight and several other Providence agents run past Holiday after an alarm activates]'' Buckle up partner! Looks like we got ourselves a big one.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hopeless.
:''[Providence mercenaries arrive at Mexico to confront the giant mechanical EVO.]''
:'''White Knight:''' What are we looking at?
:'''Dr. Fell:''' ''[Speaking through a monitor]'' Fascinating. It appears to be bio-mechanical. I must have a closer look at this one.
:'''White Knight:''' One for the trophy case.
:'''Six:''' Wait. We may get more out of this one if we bring it in alive!
:'''White Knight:''' Are you nuts?
:'''Fortier:''' Looks like your boy is losing his edge, Knight!
:'''White Knight:''' Not a cage in the world that can hold this thing. Six? ''[Six charges at the EVO, making his way up the limbs before stabbing it in the shoulder]'' That’s more like it!
:'''Six:''' ''[After his attack, Six gets grabbed by the EVO’s hand]'' White, get back! This thing is going to blow! ''[Six is launched and emerges from the rubble before the EVO self-destructs]'' Knight? Knight!
:'''Rex:''' ¡Auxílio! ''[Six runs to a child buried underneath the same pile of rubble]'' ¿Has visto mi bicicleta?
:''[Commercial break]''
:''[Six and Rex stay close to the walls of buildings in the quiet city.]''
:'''Rex:''' Is that sword for real? Are you a ninja? I was speaking Spanish. Is this Mexico? Why are we sneaking around-- ''[Six covers Rex’s mouth at the sound of an Evo from a distance]'' Ugh, dude, your hand smells like monkey breath.
:''[Rex pulls Six's hand off his face.]''
:'''Rex:''' Why don’t you just call HQ or NORAD or 9-1-1?
:'''Six:''' When the creature blew, it released some sort of EM pulse. Fried everything electronic: this area is a dead-zone. We’re on our own.
:'''Rex:''' So much for ordering a pizza. ''[Six stares at Rex in silence]'' I’m joking cause if I don’t, I’m gonna remember how scared I am right now-- ''[Rex looks away and then back at Six while trying to recollect his memories]'' Actually except for my name, that’s about all I do remember.
:'''Six:''' No family? An address? A grandma where I can dump you?
:''[Rex shakes his head to all of Six’s questions]''
:'''Rex:''' Nothing. Except waking up and seeing your face. Not exactly the angel I was hoping for.
:'''Six:''' You’re in shock. We should find a place to hole you up until I can get some help.
:'''Rex:''' No way, I’m not hiding! Why, you wanna get rid of me?
:'''Six:''' I screwed up, and it may very well have caused my friend his life. The last thing I need is you slowing me down.
:''[Six carries Rex through the remains of a building before stumbling across a massive crater.]''
:'''Six:''' No--
:'''Rex:''' ''[Rex walks away from Six's hold to get closer to the crater]'' What’s going on? What did this?
:'''Six:''' Don’t worry, we evacuated this zone. We’ll get you home, I promise. Right now we gotta move.
:'''Rex:''' What’s making those sounds?
:'''Six:''' ''[While navigating through the area, an EVO crawls out a ditch and roars at the pair]'' New plan! Run! ''[Six draws his blade as the EVO charges at him, lunges in the air, and spits acid which causes him to double over in pain. Rex nearly escapes after climbing over rubble, but stops when he sees the monster towering over Six]''
:'''Rex:''' Agh! Leave him alone! ''[Rex charges at the EVO to protect Six, accidentally curing the man after striking his palm at him]'' Ugh, great! I probably got rabies! ''[Six looks at Rex in shock]'' What?
:''[Later, at the Petting Zoo.]''
:'''White Knight:''' Glad to see you alive, partner.
:'''Six:''' Happy to accommodate.
:'''White Knight:''' Better stand clear of Fell. He’s furious we didn’t bring back a sample of that monster.
:'''Rex:''' ''[The sound of a cage opening turns the men’s attention to Rex, who was tricked into freeing a desperate-looking Bobo]'' Uh, no, I don’t know where they keep the jet planes.
:'''Six:''' ''[Bobo runs away but is immediately caught and thrown back into the cage by Six]'' Why did you let him out?
:'''Rex:''' He asked me to. I don’t know if you guys are aware of this, but that monkey talks!
:'''White Knight:''' ''[Knight takes hold of Rex’s shirt and pins him against a cage]'' Who are you? What are you doing in here?
:'''Six:''' ''[Six pulls Rex away and positions himself between Knight and Rex]'' He’s with me, I found him out in the field. There’s something I wanted to show-- ''[The lights and sounds of an experiment draws Six’s attention]'' Doctor Holiday.
:''[Six and Rex begin walking to Doctor Holiday’s laboratory where Rex gets a checkup from the Doctor.]''
:'''Rex:''' Ouch! Ah! Let me see your medical license.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six, we have nurses who could’ve easily handled this. ''[Six opens a cage containing an EVO and secures it in a hold while bringing it closer to Rex]'' What are you doing? That EVO is scheduled for processing!
:'''Six:''' Show her. ''[On Six's command, Rex cures the EVO]'' We found it Doctor. The third alternative.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' What is he...? How--
:'''Six:''' Meet Rex. The cure.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Rex waves at Holiday before she runs to Six and embraces him with a hug]'' This changes everything!
:''[Rex is put to bed and Six waits for Doctor Holiday outside the quarters.]''
:'''Six:''' Finally asleep?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Amazing what fifteen burritos will do. I can’t wait to see Fell’s face when we show him.
:'''Six:''' No. Not a word to anyone. Tomorrow we move him to a safe location.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' But I need to get to work on him straight away.
:'''Six:''' Trust me, not everyone will feel the same way about working with an EVO. If we time this wrong, it could turn ugly.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I hate this war.
:''[Doctor Holiday walks away while Knight stands around the corner, having overheard the entire conversation.]''
:'''White Knight:''' Hey, partner. How’s Tricks?
:'''Six:''' What are you doing in the medical ward? I thought you hated germs.
:'''White Knight:''' Made an exception today. Something I should know?
:'''Six:''' Just another day at the office. ''[Knight holds on to Six’s arm before he can move any further away]''
:'''White Knight:''' You can trust me.
:'''Six:''' I know.
:''[Six walks away while Knight looks suspiciously at Rex’s door. Later in his own room, Six practices his swordsmanship and inspects Knight’s gift before contacting Holiday about a power surge.]''
:'''Six:''' Holiday. Is Fell running protocols at night now? Holiday?
:''[White Knight is present alongside Dr. Fell at a processing facility where an experiment is conducted]'' Prepare for disassembly.
:'''Six:''' ''[Before any further action can be taken, Six enters the facility]'' What are you doing?
:'''White Knight:''' I’m not going to allow my partner to risk his career for one bad call. Did you think I couldn’t get Holiday to talk?
:'''Dr. Fell:''' ''[Six walks towards the table where a drowsy Rex is suspended before having Fell block his path]'' You're letting your emotions cloud your judgement, Six. With what we gleam from this boy, I could create tools that would inoculate the world.
:'''Six:''' Why risk it? He can already cure them! I've seen it!
:'''White Knight:''' So, what, we train him? Make him one of us? ''[Doctor Fell tries to dissect Rex with a scalpel before the tool is destroyed by a strand of his nanites]'' I thought he was sedated!
:'''Dr. Fell:''' He is. It’s his nanites, they’re protecting him! ''[A single, premature version of his Smack Hands is created and tosses Fell to the ground. Various forms of Rex’s signature builds materialize and disappear to Rex’s discomfort]''
:'''White Knight:''' One of us, huh?
:''[Knight activates a warning siren while Rex inadvertently draws electricity from his surroundings]''
:''[Commercial break]''
:'''Rex:''' Okay, this is definitely not normal.
:'''White Knight:''' Enough of this! ''[Knight fires a bullet at Rex which is sliced in half by Six’s katana]'' Have you lost it? He’s one of them! If he powers up he’ll destroy us all!
:''[Knight fires another bullet at Rex]''
:'''Six:''' No!
:'''White Knight:''' ''[Six deflects the second bullet, this time aiming the projectile near Knight’s head]'' So. That’s it, huh?
:''[Knight proceeds to rain bullets on Six who deflects all of the shots while charging towards him. Meanwhile, Holiday is held captive inside one of the cages at The Petting Zoo.]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' You cannot treat me like this! I have 3 PhDs! Let me out this instant! ''[She slumps inside of the cage next to Bobo, who swipes a pen which he proceeds to lockpick with]''
:'''Bobo:''' Y’know, maybe we can scratch each other's backs.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Excuse me?
:''[Bobo unlocks the gate, with Holiday seizing the opportunity and hurrying to reach Rex]''
:'''Bobo:''' Right between the shoulder blades. And watch the nails. ''[Holiday looks down at Bobo before proceeding to run back to Fell’s facility]'' You thought I was kidding about the back scratch? I got monkey dander!
:''[Back at the processing facility, Rex reels in pain while Knight continues to fire at his partner.]''
:'''White Knight:''' Stand down, Six! ''[Knight stops firing at Six]'' We need you in this war!
:'''Six:''' What’s the good in winning a war if we can’t live with ourselves after?
:'''White Knight:''' ''[Knight tears the strap off his gun and uses it as an improvised baton while continuing to make combat with Six. The two exchange blows until Knight gains the upper hand and wails on him until they both stand before Rex]'' We're supposed to be friends! He's a monster! What do you see in him?!
:''[Knight pulls up Six’s head towards Rex who is seizing in pain]''
:'''Six:''' Hope.
:''[Six draws blood with a strike and continues to fight Knight until he is tranquilized by Doctor Fell]''
:'''White Knight:''' Thanks for talking some sense into him, doc.
:''[Knight picks up Six’s katana and walks toward Rex]''
:'''Rex:''' What-- What’s happening to me?
:''[Rex pleas to Knight, who simply looks down at him before warning sirens go off and the facility begins to lockdown]''
:'''Dr. Fell:''' We’re all going to burn.
:''[Fell escapes while Rex is craned away by Holiday on an upper level]''
:'''White Knight:''' No! ''[Knight looks back at Six who is slowly picking himself up while the remaining exits close off. In a last ditch effort, Knight carries Six and throws him through the final set of doors before they seal shut]''
:'''Six:''' ''[Six picks himself and slams his fist against the glass]'' Why?
:'''White Knight:''' I know what side I’m on. ''[Knight proudly states before getting consumed by a blinding white light and screaming in agony]''
:'''Six:''' ''[Grabbing a hold of Dr. Fell's collar Six shouts]'' Do something!
:'''Dr. Fell:''' Once the cycle starts it's impossible to shut down.
:'''Rex:''' ''[Contrary to Dr. Fell's statement, the light fades away and the electricity is subdued after Rex interfaces with a control panel]'' Impossible? Psh, right.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' How did you—-?
:'''Rex:''' Told it to turn off. And it did! Wait, where...where am I?
:'''Dr. Fell:''' ''[Speaking through a monitor]'' Doctor Holiday. Maybe you were right.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Maybe you should start looking for another job.
:'''Bobo:''' ''[Within the processing chamber, Knight takes a few steps forward before collapsing]'' Hey marshmallow! Nice look! ''[Knight looks back up at Bobo with his signature bleached appearance]''
:''[Some time later, in his office White Knight speaks to Six through a monitor.]''
:'''White Knight:''' How’s the training?
:'''Six:''' Slow.
:'''White Knight:''' Not all you hoped he’d be? ''[Rex and Bobo topple each other in a play fight while Knight continues to monologue in his office]'' Still, who would’ve thought the kinder, gentler approach would do such wonders for our profile. The notion of a cure has gotten Providence funding, and worldwide prestige. The committee's happy. Your new partner may just be the best thing this operation could have asked for. Funny, isn’t it? Because of you I can never leave this chamber. I’m now the only pure human left in the world. And the perfect poster boy to run this operation. I suppose I should thank you.
:'''Six:''' I promised him that we would help uncover his past; find his family.
:'''White Knight:''' Whatever keeps him on his leash. But if he shows the slightest sign of turning into thing again, it's all on you.
:''[Back at the party in the present, Noah is pinned down by Bobo with a bag on his head to Rex’s amusement.]''
:'''Rex:''' Hoo-hoo-hoo! Oh my—hold him down, I’ll get the camera!
:''[Rex runs to his room, and after a quick search he instead finds a long box on a corner shelf]''
:'''Six:''' Happy birthday.
:''[Six walks into his room, officially greeting Rex]''
:'''Rex:''' From you? For me? You gotta be kidding.
:'''Six:''' You, your work. It has made a real difference. I just—-
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, I know I’m pretty great! But seriously get off the sap train, Six. It’s creeping me out. ''[Rex opens the gift to reveal the blade inside]'' Wow, Six! Thank you!
:'''Six:''' It’s called a tanto. It’s the ceremonial blade of a samurai warrior.
:'''Rex:''' Samurai? Awesome.
:'''Six:''' ''[Six unsheathes his own tanto and holds it against Rex’s]'' This is its twin.
:'''Rex:''' ''[Rex removes the cap from his tanto and squints at the symbol etched into the blade]'' Is that... writing?
:'''Six:''' Bushido symbol of loyalty. It means whether for good or ill, our fates will follow the same path. This one stays with me.
:'''Rex:''' Think this thing can cut through Holiday’s chocolate cake?
:'''Six:''' ''[Six raises an eyebrow]'' Anything’s possible.
:''[Rex puts the cap back on to the blade and camera cuts to outside of Providence headquarters, panning outward until screen fades to black.]''
===Badlands===
:'''Rex:''' We're facing heavy resistance here! There are too many of them!
:''[Rex imitates gunfire]''
:'''Six:''' Keep this channel clear.
:'''Rex:''' Six, do you really expect us to get to back to Providence by one thousand eight hundred hours in this slowpoke convoy? Just get the cargo, will you? We'd be there by now.
:'''Six:''' Except we're transporting unstable nanites, which have to be kept at or below sea level. Even one wrong bump and the whole thing could go off.
:'''Rex:''' And if it blows, you're in a battle transport. Meanwhile, we're stuck in this delivery truck, carrying whatever. What are we carrying anyway?
:'''Bobo:''' Toilet paper.
:'''Six:''' One, everyone in this mission has a part to play.
:'''Rex:''' Seriously?! Toilet paper?!
:'''Six:''' And, two, we're under strict radio silence. Six out.
:'''Rex:''' Radio silence, convoy security protocols, scheduled bathroom breaks, and they won't even let me drive. So many rules all for what-- Some nanites?
:'''Noah:''' Unstable nanites-- The most dangerous nanites on Earth.
:'''Rex:''' Well, at least there's not an anti-tunes order!
:'''Noah:''' That radio's ancient. You'll be lucky if you can get it to play static.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, I think I can manage to crank some bass out of it.
:'''Noah:''' Not bad!
:'''Rex:''' What?!
:'''Noah:''' I said, "Not bad!"
:''[Bobo gasps]''
:''[Rex, Noah and Bobo coughing]''
:'''Noah:''' Bobo, slow down! We can't see anything!
:''[Bobo sputters]''
:'''Bobo:''' I got one good eye that's closed half the time, and now you're worried?!
:''[Rex, Noah and Bobo coughing]''
:'''Noah:''' And we lost the convoy.
:'''Bobo:''' Relax, blondie. We'll catch up. That's why they invented speeding.
:'''Gatlocke:''' ''[British accent]'' Good-- They're right on time. What do you think of the spyglass? Am I taking this pirate thing too far? I haven't become cliché, have I?
:'''Gang Punk:''' No, Gatlocke. It fits you.
:'''Gatlocke:''' Oh, good! Because if you'd said, "yes", I would have thrown you off the cliff.
:''[Gatlocke chuckles evilly]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' No, seriously, I would have. Ladies and gentlemen, the convoy is directly beneath us! Wait. Do we have any ladies in my gang? No ladies? We need to get with the times! Let's see about getting some ladies in the gang. Gentlemen, grab your weapons, charge up the scramblers, and attack!
:'''Providence Agent:''' They're jamming all channels. We're cut off, sir.
:'''Gatlocke:''' Ready the ion-cannon thingumabobs!
:'''Six:''' Fall back! Cover the cargo carriers!
:'''Rex:''' You know what this means, don't you?
:'''Noah:''' We're lost?
:'''Rex:''' No. It means no one is around to tell me I can't drive. Hand over the wheel, Bobo.
:'''Bobo:''' You can't drive!
:'''Noah:''' Radio's broken, so we can't even call for help.
:'''Rex:''' We don't need help. We're not lost. Men don't get lost. We go exploring. And why should you care if I drive? Unless you made some kind of deal with Six.
:'''Bobo:''' You'll have to ask my bank account.
:'''Six:''' Defend the cargo! Don't let them get to the trailers!
:''[Gatlocke humming]''
:''[Gatlocke humming continues]''
:''[Gatlocke grunts]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' As of this moment, the unstable nanites have officially been jacked.
:''[Gatlocke laughs evilly]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' ''[to Six]'' Give me a reason. Give me one good reason.
:''[Gatlocke laughs evilly]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' I'm only kidding! Like I need a reason.
:''[Shoots at Six]''
:'''Six:''' We'll regroup outside the canyon! Get us out of here now!
:'''Providence Agent:''' Sir, they got the cargo.
:'''Six:''' I'm aware the situation. Rex wasn't with the convoy when we we're attacked.
:'''Six:''' Fix the radio and find him. Off all the days to disobey orders.
:'''Rex:''' Pit stop successful!
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:''[Noah grunts]''
:'''Noah:''' This soda is expired.
:'''Rex:''' I know! They were practically giving it away!
:''[Bobo spits]''
:'''Bobo:''' Agh! This tastes like feet-- And not the clean kind!
:'''Rex:''' Fine-- More for me, then!
:'''Noah:''' By now, they must've noticed that you're gone.
:'''Rex:''' No one's going to miss a delivery truck. Hurry up!
:'''Noah:''' Go faster!
:'''Rex:''' Ladies, how's it going today? Yeah, we roll in a big truck. Other guys may flake on you, but me and Noah-- We deliever.
:''[girls laughs]''
:'''Rex:''' Bobo!
:''[Rex, Noah and Bobo shout]''
:'''Rex:''' I think we actually had a chance back there.
:'''Gatlocke:''' Gentlemen, congratulations on a job well done. Your commitment to... Oh, forget it. Open the truck!
:'''Beasly:''' Communications are still down, sir. We can send a cycle for help.
:'''Six:''' No. I want everything available searching the area.
:'''Beasly:''' For the attackers?
:'''Six:''' For Rex. He's not transporting what he thinks he is. Given the circumstances, he should probably know. Let's just hope he didn't get himself lost.
:'''Bobo:''' Okay... I think we might be lost.
:'''Rex:''' Whoa, whoa. Noah gets the wheel? What about me?
:'''Bobo:''' Think about it, soda jerk. My mouth still tastes like week-old socks. Plus, goldilocks has a license, and you don't. But mostly the soda thing.
:'''Noah:''' I think I know where we are.
:'''Rex:''' Don't sweat it. Who's gonna miss a truck full of toilet paper?
:'''Bobo:''' Hey, I've been there-- Ain't pretty.
:'''Gatlocke:''' ''[referring to toilet paper]'' Feel that? It's quilted. This is the good kind. But I won't be able to really enjoy it until I have those nanites!
:'''Gang Punk:''' Gatlocke, I found something.
:'''Gatlocke:''' Something is good.
:'''Gang Punk:''' Our scout took this image when the convoy left the proving grounds.
:'''Gatlocke:''' I like how he framed this shot. See the rock formations in the foreground here?
:'''Gang Punk:''' But this is from the canyon. Where'd the white delivery truck go?
:'''Gatlocke:''' Why are you asking me? I don't know where it went! Fan out! Dig around the desert! Find me that truck! And an Iced Tea!
:'''Rex:''' Noah, you've got to listen to me. Let... me... drive... the... truck!
:'''Noah:''' I don't know.
:'''Bobo:''' The answer is still no!
:'''Noah:''' All right, we're back! This is the right road.
:'''Rex:''' How can you tell? All the roads look the same out here.
:''[Noah gasps]''
:'''Gang Punk:''' Gatlocke, you're not gonna believe what I found.
:'''Noah:''' This canyon-- It'd be the perfect place to spring an ambush.
:'''Rex:''' The nanite transport is gone. Six, can your hear me? Six? Providence, come in.
:'''Six:''' Go ahead.
:'''Rex:''' Connect me to White. Now would be good.
:'''Noah:''' We're sitting ducks here.
:'''Bobo:''' Quack, quack.
:'''Rex:''' Um, I'll call you back.
:'''Gatlocke:''' Allow me to introduce myself! I'm Gatlocke-- Anarchist, struggling businessman, scoundrel. Okay, that's a lie. I'm not 'struggling'. But, lemme ask you! Do you like rules?
:'''Rex:''' Can't say I do.
:'''Gatlocke:''' Me neither. I hate them. It's why me and my men live by the anarchist code. For us, there are no rules.
:'''Gang Punk:''' Excepts no cursing.
:'''Gatlocke:''' ''[hits the Gang Punk]'' True! We're anarchists, not animals. You know what I'm talking about. I feel like we have a connection. We're practically friends! So, if you could do me a favor, it would help me out a lot.
:'''Rex:''' What kind of favor?
:'''Gatlocke:''' I need you to hand over the truck. I mean, I really need you to hand it over-- Now!
:'''Rex:''' This truck? It's not all that great. The radio doesn't work. It handles like a box on wheels. At least, I imagine it does, 'cause someone won't let me drive.
:'''Gatlocke:''' ''[pulls out a knife]'' Please don't play dumb with me.
:'''Rex:''' Dumb? Oh, see, dumb is pulling a blade on me!
:''[Rex pulls out his Smack Hands]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' Ooh, I like this kid.
:''[Rex growls]''
:'''Rex:''' Get back to the truck!
:''[Rex and his friends run away]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' I have a bad case of EVO envy.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Noah:''' You're risking our lives to save a stupid truck?
:'''Rex:''' It's the principle!
:''[Rex, Noah and Bobo screams]''
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! They really want that toilet paper!
:'''Bobo:''' They didn't exactly look like poster boys for good hygiene!
:'''Noah:''' Are you sure that's even what we're carrying? I mean, did anyone actually bother to check?
:'''Bobo:''' Don't bother me with the details.
:'''Noah:''' That's definitely not T.P.
:'''Rex:''' We were carrying unstable nanites the whole time.
:'''Bobo:''' We should be fine as long as none of the warning lights are on.
:'''Noah:''' You mean all the red, blinky ones?
:'''Bobo:''' Aw, boy.
:'''Rex:''' Giving us the nanites? What was Six thinking?
:'''Bobo:''' He was thinking that if the convoy was to get attacked, we're better to have the cargo than with you?
:'''Rex:''' Could've at least told us we were carrying something that could blow up.
:'''Noah:''' Whoa!
:'''Rex:''' Glad I'm not driving.
:'''Six:''' We have ten more minutes till Providence starts missing us. When we don't check in, they'll send jets, and coming in blind, there's a good chance we'll get shot down like ours did.
:'''Beasly:''' We're working as fast as we can, sir. Whatever they use completely fried the relays.
:'''Six:''' Then we'll need another option.
:'''Beasly:''' Well, there is one possibility, but it's a little old-fashioned.
:'''Rex:''' Let me take the nanites and zoom out of here.
:'''Noah:''' Didn't you hear Six? They can't go above sea level. One long bump will make them go off.
:'''Bobo:''' Kid's right. They're safer in the isolator back there.
:'''Rex:''' All right, fine. Then we'll just deal with the roadhogs ourselves.
:'''Noah:''' So... Any idea on that?
:'''Bobo:''' I vote "Try not to die."
:''[Gatlocke laughs evilly]''
:'''Rex:''' Look on the bright side-- The unstable nanites didn't go off.
:'''Gatlocke:''' That's what I love-- An optimist! ''[Hugs Rex]'' I love this kid!
:'''Rex:''' You're insane. Do you realize that?
:'''Gatlocke:''' Me, Gatlocke, insane? Frankly, I don't see it. Just let me have 'em. I'll split the money with you down the middle, 50/40?
:'''Rex:''' Wow, after all that, you're nothing but a common thief.
:'''Gatlocke:''' "Common"? "Common"?! Tear open the truck!
:'''Gang Punk:''' It's no here. Ugh!
:'''Noah:''' That was some escape plan.
:'''Rex:''' It was one of my plans. I have a couple different angles I'm working.
:'''Noah:''' What's your "angle" now?
:'''Rex:''' I've got the unstable nanites right here!
:'''Bobo:''' Ah, this is an improvement.
:'''Rex:''' ''[holding up a can]'' Back off, or I'll send us all to kingdom come!
:'''Gatlocke:''' You wouldn't dare.
:'''Rex:''' Or would I? You say we're a lot alike.
:'''Gatlocke:''' You would.
:'''Rex:''' Unh!
:''[Gatlocke and Gang Punks screams]''
:'''Rex:''' Aw. Quit while you're behind, Gatlocke.
:''[Gatlocke growls]''
:''[Gatlocke growls]''
:'''Rex:''' We're clear. Now, aren't you glad about the soda? Bobo, take the nanites. I'll keep them off your tail.
:'''Gatlocke:''' You should've taken the deal.
:'''Rex:''' You couldn't afford me.
:'''Gatlocke:''' You know what your problem is? You're a terrible businessman.
:''[Gatlocke growls]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' Ooh, I like that.
:''[Gatlocke grunts]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' Hey! Dude.
:'''Noah:''' I'll radio. Hello? Can anyone hear me? We need a little help here! Anyone?
:'''Bobo:''' ''[taking the communicator from Noah]'' Gimme that! Breaker 1-9, good neighbor. This is Bobo Haha, droppin' the hammer in a superskate. We got bumper stickers on our donkey. Repeat-- Bumper sticker on our donkey! Come on back.
:'''Noah:''' Oh, like that helps. Is that even English?
:''[Gatlocke grunting]''
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' Don't suppose I could convince you to join me! You could live the life-- No one telling you what to do.
:'''Rex:''' Can you just shut up for longer than a second?
:'''Gatlocke:''' How long was that?
:''[Gatlocke laughs]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' You can pretend to be better, but in the end, you're just like me!
:'''Rex:''' Ugh! There's one big difference between you and me!
:'''Gatlocke:''' And that is?
:'''Rex:''' You can't fly.
:''[The truck goes over a cliff]''
:'''Gang Punk:''' Hmm? Aah!
:''[Noah gasps]''
:'''Six:''' We intercepted your transmission on the citizens' band.
:'''Bobo:''' See, I told ya.
:'''Six:''' Where are the nanites?
:'''Noah:''' We thought for sure it was gonna go off.
:'''Six:''' It went off.
:'''Rex:''' But you said one wrong bump and it would blow up.
:'''Six:''' I said one wrong bump and it would "go off," as in "deactivate." They call them "unstable" for a reason. If it was going to blow up, I would've said so. At least you kept it from falling into the wrong hands.
:'''Gatlocke:''' "The wrong hands," he says. I'm in a terrible rush. The nanites, pretty please.
:'''Rex:''' All yours. They're worthless.
:''[Gatlocke growls]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' Let's call it a tie. We can finish our conversation later.
:'''Six:''' White Knight will want you back at headquarters for debriefing.
:'''Rex:''' Aren't you going to give us a lift?
:'''Six:''' Drive yourself.
:'''Noah:''' I hate it when Six tries to be funny.
:'''Bobo:''' The monkey should be driving.
:'''Rex:''' You know, now that I'm doing the driving, this truck ain't so bad.
:'''Noah:''' Which way?
:'''Bobo:''' They went that way, back to headquarters.
:'''Noah:''' You're gonna get us lost.
:'''Rex:''' Men don't get lost. We go... Exploring.
===Out of the Dark===
:''Note'': Rex's love interest and sweetheart Circe appears in a vision.
===Payback===
:''[In the realm of Abysus]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Humiliated... De-powered... All but destroyed. Hardly the new world I set out to build, is it?
:'''Biowulf:''' Master, a spy has made contact.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Well?
:'''Providence Spy:''' Everything is in place.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' And the boy?
:'''Providence Spy:''' He's here.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' ''[to his loyal followers]'' Soon our greatest enemy will be buried! Providence itself will be destroyed. And we'll have Rex to thank.
:'''Rex:''' Come on! Who's gonna know?
:'''Noah:''' Yeah. It would only be for a minute or two.
:'''Calan:''' You actually want me to let you fly the keep?
:''[Calan sighs]''
:'''Calan:''' Only until the next course change. And nothing fancy.
:'''Rex:''' All right, let's see what this baby can really do! Why, it wasn't me! Seriously!
:'''Both:''' Whoa!
:'''Providence Spies:''' Aah!
:'''White Knight:''' Calan, what's your status?
:'''Calan:''' Came from out of nowhere. We're being boarded. Scramble all jump jets. Mobilize for a counter-offensive.
:'''White Knight:''' This is a coordinated attack. Every major Providence outpost around the globe has been hit.
:'''Six:''' So far they've steered clear of headquarters. I'm on route to the keep now.
:'''Rex:''' Are they really that stupid? Attacking the keep with me on board? This should only take a minute.
:'''Noah:''' Wait up!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Find Rex. It goes without saying "alive" would be ideal. Take the ship.
:'''Providence Spy:''' Some kind of power surge. We're losing control of the helm!
:'''Calan:''' Find out where it's coming from. Doc, if you'll excuse me--
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six?
:'''Six:''' Five minutes out. Prepare for an evac. I'm getting you off the ship.
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Noah:''' Again with the Smack Hands? You always open with that move. Change it up a little!
:'''Both:''' Whoa!
:'''Bobo:''' You see what you get? That's what happens when you interrupt my nap-- Bobo gets cranky!
:'''Rex:''' I learned that the hard way, too.
:'''Calan:''' All hands-- We've got intruders on deck four, five, and six. Get'em off our ship!
:'''Rex:''' Go!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Attention, Providence. The ship is ours.
:'''Rex:''' Ugh! Not even close, Van Kleiss!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Lay down your weapons, and your lives will be spared. Continue to resist and nothing survives.
:'''Rex:''' You've made I made some lame-o moves before, Van Kleiss, but this one-- classic.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Seems you may have run out of tricks. Oh, you had to know it would only be a matter of time. I've had a fair amount of time on my hands these days. ''[Restrains Rex with his gauntlet]''
:'''Rex:''' Aaaaah!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You took something very precious from me, Rex, and now I'll be returning the favor.
:'''Rex:''' If you want my monkey, you can forget it.
:''[Van Kleiss starts draining nanites from Rex, causing him to squirm and scream in pain.]''
:''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' It might come as a surprise that when you stole the nanites that gave my power, you left some of your behind-- Enough to tell me a few of what makes you tick.
:''[Rex tries to summon a build, but nothing happens.]''
:'''Rex:''' Ungh!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:''[Rex gasps]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You'll find that using your powers will be something of a challenge. The nanites that you so special belong to me now.
:'''Biowulf:''' What shall I do with him, master?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I have everything I need from him. I could care less. Secure the rest of the ship.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Come on! Do you really think throwing me out that hatch is the best way to get rid of me? Wouldn't it be more fun to throw me in a cage, tie me down in front of a laser?
:'''Biowulf:''' No!
:'''Rex:''' Aaaaaaaah! Wh-o-o-o-o-oa!
:'''Noah:''' What is he doing?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' This is no time to fool around, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' Happened to notice that ground coming up on his, doc? If you don't do something fast, I'm about to become part of it! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Ugh!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, are you okay?
:'''Rex:''' I think we may have a problem.
:'''White Knight:''' What do you mean "they have the keep"?! Blow it up!
:'''Six:''' We tried. The remote-destruct sequence has been disabled. Van Kleiss has complete control of it.
:'''White Knight:''' Give me some good news.
:'''Six:''' We know where it's heading. Here.
:'''Biowulf:''' This is the commanding officer. We found him attempting to destroy this ship.
:'''Calan:''' What's your game, Van Kleiss?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, a very good question-- One that depends entirely on what happens next, Captain. It seems my powers have made a slight... change.
:'''Rex:''' Well? They're gone, aren't they? Van Kleiss took all my active nanites.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not exactly. I found this. Definitely a nanite, but it's unlike anything I've ever seen. Molecular scans seems to indicate it's some kind of control-nanite.
:'''Rex:''' But with nothing to control.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' With a large enough concentration of nanites, we might be able to jump-start it. But even with that, there's no guarantee it would replicate or even give you back the same abilities.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I hate to say it, but this one has me stumped.
:'''Rex:''' Great. Loving this.
:'''White Knight:''' If you're finished with the lost cause, we've got a bigger problem.
:'''Biowulf:''' Master, how is this possible?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' It would seem Rex's nanites have an opposite effect on me. He cured EVOs. Now I create them. Full ahead-- Ramming speed! Once we're through, we'll destroy Providence from the inside out.
:'''White Knight:''' Lock it down! I want hallways cleared and critical sections defended. They will not take this base.
:'''Rex:''' Well? What are we waiting for? Let's go stop them!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, you're in no condition to fight.
:'''Rex:''' Well, what do you expect me to do-- Hide?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Whatever it takes. That nanite inside you might be able to bring you back, but it's going to take me time to figure out how. And that's not something we have a lot of right now.
:'''Rex:''' Wow. Nice outfit.
:'''Noah:''' Got one for you, too. You get to armor up like the rest of us normals.
:'''Rex:''' Come on.
:'''Bobo:''' All right, where to?
:'''Rex:''' South Pacific.
:'''Bobo:''' That's my boy. And here I thought you'd try to pull some hero stunt. Oh, brother.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I want the White Knight. Find where he's hiding and bring him to me.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' That should be everything, as long as the offsite backup holds.
:'''Six:''' Don't let it get to that.
:'''Noah:''' This is a strange place for a base.
:'''Rex:''' When I have too many nanites in me, this is where I go to offload.
:'''Bobo:''' Think of it as a nanite porta-potty.
:'''Noah:''' Thanks... For that image, Bobo. So, we just put some of these nanites in you, and we're good to go?
:'''Rex:''' No. They're inactive. Or at least stripped of their programming. Since I can't control them, I just have to hope that whatever this thing is inside me can't.
:'''Noah:''' So... What happens if it can't?
:'''Bobo:''' Let me put it this way-- The last guy who went swimmin' in that soup ended up a 50-foot freak show.
:'''White Knight:''' Listen to me carrefully, Van Kleiss.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I'd rather not.
:'''White Knight:''' Where are they?
:'''Six:''' The inner perimeter has been compromised. They're coming.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Ugh! Ungh!
:''[Skalamander roars]''
:''[Skalamander roars]''
:'''Biowulf:''' Open it.
:'''Rex:''' Okay. Bobo, set the thing to "vent" and go. If this doesn't work, I don't want you getting caught in the blast.
:'''Bobo:''' No.
:'''Noah:''' Forget it. Rex, at least think about his for a sec. What if it wipes your memory? What it turns you into some evil monster?
:'''Rex:''' My friends need me. There's nothing more to think about. Bobo, do it.
:'''Bobo:''' Long odds, pay big.
:''[Bobo groans]''
:'''Six:''' You've overstayed your welcome.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, here's someone who would make a nice addition to our EVO ranks.
:'''Six:''' Go ahead and try. Ugh!
:''[Six groans]''
:'''Rex:''' Trying to do my job for me, Six? Here's a thought-- When your top henchman can't even get rid of someone by throwing him out of a moving plane, time to rethink the help.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You are determined-- I'll give you that. If it's what you prefer, I'll finish you myself.
:'''Rex:''' Maybe.
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh!
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! Cool!
:'''Bobo:''' See? I told you it would work.
:'''Six:''' This is an unexpected surprise.
:'''Rex:''' Well, by now, you should expect the unexpected from me, Six.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Ungh!
:''[Skalamander roars]''
:''[Dr. Holiday grunts]''
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Noah:''' Is that what I think it is?
:'''Bobo:''' Not anymore.
:'''Noah:''' You think there might be more of them?
:'''Bobo:''' Eh... Probably.
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:''[Biowulf growls]''
:'''Biowulf:''' Aaaaaaah!
:'''White Knight:''' I use that electromagnet to trap stray nanites. You're lucky it's on the lowest setting. Any higher, and it would rip the nanites right out of your body.
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:'''Biowulf:''' Then why don't you?
:'''White Knight:''' Because then I wouldn't be able to do this.
:'''Skalamander:''' No one can help you. You're all alone now.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not exactly. We still have my sister.
:''[Skalamander grunting]''
:''[Rex and Van Kleiss grunts]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Aaaaah!
:'''Rex:''' No way!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Ungh!
:'''Rex:''' Once again, epic fail. I'll take my nanites back now.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh!
:'''Noah:''' Rex, wait!
:'''Bobo:''' Van Kleiss left behind a few presents.
:'''Rex:''' No time to look everywhere. I'm shutting everything down.
:'''Noah:''' You can do that?
:'''Rex:''' Don't know. Never tried. Anything else? No?
:'''Calan:''' Whew! I never want to do that again. No, sir.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Amazing.
:'''Rex:''' Why, thank you.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I was talking about the nanites. That was a risky move, Rex, but it worked. As far as I can tell, you're back to your old self.
:'''Rex:''' I don't know. Something feels different. That new build-- I think I can do even more. It's like I can see the blueprints. I just need to figure out how to put it all together.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' White Knight in person. Never thought I'd see the day.
:'''White Knight:''' Well, don't get used to it. We found all the explosives. The base and the keep will need extensive repairs. This was not our finest hour.
:'''Rex:''' What are you talking about? We kicked butt! So what if Van Kleiss is back and more powerful than ever? So am I! If he wants a nanite war, let him bring it!
:''[White Knight laughs]''
:'''White Knight:''' It's good to have your back, Rex.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' You know, I think he actually means it.
:'''Rex:''' Sure he does. So, tell me something, guys-- What's next?
==Season Two (2011)==
===Rampage===
:'''Rex:''' I'll give you the recap. Thanks to these microscopic machines called nanites, I can build cool gear out of my body. I'm what's called an EVO. But most EVOs aren't lucky like me. They usually look like this. ''[Chuckling]'' I know what you're thinking. And they smell bad, too. There's one other thing I can do that makes me even more special. Some EVOs, I can cure. That's why I work for Providence. We're the people you call when an evo is tearing up your lawn or attacking a city. And the worst of them is this guy-- Van Kleiss. The last time we fought, things got a little out of hand. I'll admit it-- We pretty much got our tails handed to us. He steals the key, wrecks headquarters, hijacks my nanite to get back the powers I took away from him. And now he can actually make people into EVOs. Then, to top it off, he has his dog boy Biowulf throw me, overboard at 6,000 feet. Not that anyone's keeping score. Sure, Van Kleiss may be back, but so am I. So what if he can make EVOs? I can still cure them. He may have new powers, but guess what-- I do, too. Ever since my powers came back, I've got the ability to make amazing new machines. Now I just have to figure out how to build more. If you're trying to check up on me, Six, the answer's still a big fat... ''[imitates buzzer]'' I can't figure out how to make this new build.
:'''Six:''' It might take some time, but you'll get it.
:'''Rex:''' And meanwhile, Van Kleiss is out there doing who knows what. I wish they'd hurry up and get the H.Q. Rebuilt. You're not still living out of your jump jet like some ninja hobo, are you?
:'''Six:''' My temporary accommodations are perfectly adequate.
:'''Rex:''' Yep. Still living in the jet.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' I hate being kicked out of our house. Although, as long as they're building stuff, I need a hot tub.
:''[Carmen gasps]''
:'''Carmen:''' Madre! Estas viva! Como puede ser?
:'''Carmen's mother:''' No querida. Soy la prima gemela diabolica de tu madre.
:'''Noah:''' What are you watching?
:'''Rex:''' Cultural enrichment! Later on, we find out if Dr. Suarez chooses Isabel, or her evil half sister, Ana Maria.
:'''Carmen:''' Pero, como va supremivir esto nuesta familia.
:'''Carmen's mother:''' Con mucho dolor, vengaza y arrepentimiento.
:'''Noah:''' If you're gonna stay with me while they're rebuilding Providence, at least don't flaunt the fact that you don't have a pre-calculus test in three days.
:'''Rex:''' Pre-wha?
:'''Noah:''' Exactly my point. And when I agreed to this, I wasn't expecting the sidekick, too.
:'''Bobo:''' Hey, pally, we're a package deal. Live with it.
:''[Noah gasps]''
:'''Noah:''' Was that a toenail? Can I just get hit by a toenail?!
:'''Rex:''' What's your deal?
:'''Noah:''' Aah! Get one in my mouth! Ugh!
:'''Rex:''' Okay, that is gross. Bobo, bad monkey. I thought this would be fun.
:''[Noah scoffs]''
:'''Noah:''' For you, maybe. I'll get a real life, too, you know. As much as I want it to be, it can't be all fun and games all the time, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' Why not? Worse for me.
:'''Noah:''' Hey, I like adventure as much as the next guy, but I still have to pass math.
:'''Rex:''' You're not going to fail math. You have like the fourth highest GPA in your class.
:'''Noah:''' It used to be third.
:'''Rex:''' And ten years from now, nobody's going to care. Hey doc, miss me? Huh? Oh. A situation. Really? Awesome! Nope. I'm not doing anything. Be right there. I'm gonna go pound some EVO into submission. Wanna come?
:'''Noah:''' You're serious?
:'''Rex:''' No. That would be you. Have fun with that math.
:'''Noah:''' Save the world or a chance at a scholarship? All right! I'm coming!
:'''Rex:''' Now see? It's a lot more fun when you just let go.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Can you hold that thing still?
:'''Rex:''' Dibs! That's a whole lot of agents for one EVO, doc.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' They weren't here for the EVO. That ship is carrying the new power core for Providence headquarters. This thing just happened to show up when we started to offload it.
:''[Dr. Holiday grunting]''
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' Wh-o-o-o-oa!
:''[Rex straining]''
:'''Rex:''' Van Kleiss!
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' Did you see the mark? Van Kleiss made that one.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Why else do you think I've been trying to get a sample from it?
:'''Rex:''' I don't know-- Just being science-y? Ugh!
:'''Bobo and Noah:''' Yeah!
:'''Rex:''' Does that work for you?
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It'll do. Got it. We can cure it now.
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! Aah!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Chuckling]'' Unless you like getting thrown around like that.
:'''Noah:''' No hurry. This is great.
:'''Bobo and Noah:''' Ew!
:''[Dock worker grunts]''
:'''Dock worker:''' What hit me?
:'''Rex:''' That would be me.
:'''Six:''' You work here?
:'''Dock worker:''' What do you think, mister? Ahh, my back.
:'''Rex:''' Yep. Sorry. Was trying, you know, not to die. If he works at the dock, that must mean Van Kleiss was here.
:'''Noah:''' Actually, I think he still is.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' They're after the power core.
:'''Rex:''' All this for a battery?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not just a battery. It could fuel a country the size of Abysus for a decade.
:'''Rex:''' And it was going to be underneath my room?! Excuse me. Out of the way! Coming through! I was wondering when you and your hair would show up again, Van Kleiss.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Back to your old self again, I see. And how are those new abilities developing?
:'''Rex:''' Just fine. Thanks for asking. Here's what I bet you're thinking, "did we really think this plan through? Was using some poor dude as a decoy the best move?"
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I suppose only time will tell. Not as strong as you thought.
:'''Rex:''' Not yet. That time I really thought I had it, okay? Ohh!
:'''Noah:''' How awesome was that?
:'''Rex:''' What part-- You clobbering Van Kleiss or Van Kleiss clobbering me?
:'''Noah:''' Well, both, actually.
:'''Rex:''' Hold on. I need a second to think of a really good dig.
:''[Van Kleiss chuckles]''
:'''Rex:''' Why are you smiling? We just owned you. It's over, Van Kleiss. You lose!
:'''Noah:''' That was the best you could come up with. "You lose"?
:'''Rex:''' That one didn't count. He caught me off guard with the whole smiling thing, okay?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You'd be wise to consider delaying your celebration for the moment, Rex. You're about to have your hands quite full.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, really? And how do you figure that?
:'''Noah:''' Aah!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Here's the part where you must be thinking, "did I think this plan through?"
:'''Rex:''' Noah!
:''[Noah growls]''
:'''Rex:''' Are you nuts?! Stop it!
:'''Six:''' Stand down!
:'''Rex:''' Take it easy, Noah. You're going to be okay. This will all be over in a second. Great. Just great.
:'''Six:''' Go!
:'''Rex:''' Noah, if you can still understand me, when I said you should let things go, this isn't exactly what I meant.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' Headache. It should be about balance, you know? Take care of the important stuff, but leave room for a little fun. Right now! Too much fun!
:''[Rex screaming]''
:'''Rex:''' Wh-o-o-o-oa! Everything's fine. Not a problem.
:'''Six:''' If you can't stop him, it's going to be.
:'''Rex:''' You know, Six, you really need to learn to think positive.
:''[Diane Farrah and Reporter gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' Stupid grin. It's like it's all just a game to him.
:'''Determined grandmother:''' I know you!
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, uh, thanks, but--
:'''Determined grandmother:''' You're that "tex" kid from Providence.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, Rex. Ma'am, this really isn't--
:'''Determined grandmother:''' I have a bone to pick with Providence. Do you realize how awful it's been?
:''[Rex chuckles]''
:'''Rex:''' Funny story, he's actually my friend, so as soon as I can catch him--
:'''Determined grandmother:''' Every single night, someone moves my glasses. I leave them on the nightstand, and when I wake up, they're on the dresser!
:'''Rex:''' Glasses?
:'''Determined grandmother:''' There's got to be an EVO in my house. Some of them only come out at night, you know.
:'''Rex:''' Uh-huh.
:'''Determined grandmother:''' Now, I keep calling you people, but no one will give me the time of day over there. So, you tell me-- How am I supposed to feel safe when there is an EVO in my apartment?!
:'''Rex:''' Here. First number on speed dial.
:'''Determined grandmother:''' He's eating the cat food, too!
:'''Bobo:''' That friend of yours is a walking disaster. I'm starting to like the kid.
:'''Six:''' We'll get this. Go.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, can you hear me?
:'''Rex:''' A little busy right now, doc.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Then I'll make it quick. The active nanites Van Kleiss create are highly unstable. If Noah isn't cured soon, his condition will be permanent.
:'''Rex:''' How long do I have?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's probably different for each infected person, but I calculate less than an hour.
:'''Rex:''' Noah, you have to listen to me. If I don't change you back, this is not going to turn out well. Please. Let me help you. No! No! Thanks a lot, guys!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Noah, I'm serious! Stop playing around!
:''[Rex screams]''
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' This isn't a game, Noah! Huh. Maybe it should be. Okay, Noah. I give up! You're it! Better not be another train. All right!
:''[Noah roaring]''
:'''Rex:''' Aw, no.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' Well, what do you know? I'm "it" again.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, any luck?
:'''Rex:''' Yep. I got him. Stand by. This isn't going to hurt. I promise.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex?
:'''Rex:''' I'm too late. I don't believe this. My best friend's an EVO forever-- And not even a cool EVO. He's the annoying, breaks-stuff kind.
:''[Noah belches]''
:'''Rex:''' Ugh!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Actually, Rex, it might not be Noah. Your biometrics have flat-lined.
:'''Rex:''' All that running around. He just wore me out. Did you hear that? It's me, not you.
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' Just give me a minute.
:''[Noah roaring]''
:'''Rex:''' Noah, don't even-- No, no, no, no, no. No! No! I don't believe this. You really need a hobby, Van Kleiss.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I thought we could settle things without distraction. Here is as good a place as any.
:'''Rex:''' I already kicked your butt once today. Ready to go again?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' The question is, are you? It's hardly a fair fight.
:'''Rex:''' Oh. Then I promised to go easy on you. What? You think I don't have my powers or something? I'm about to give you the pounding of the century! Come on, powers. Please come back! Don't you have anything better to do with your life than come after me all the time?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Funny you should ask.
:'''Rex:''' Doc? How are those biometrics looking now?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Give it a try.
:'''Rex:''' Ah, yeah! It's about time! Machines work. I just hope the important part does.
:'''Noah:''' What just happened?
:'''Rex:''' Do you remember anything?
:'''Noah:''' It all kind of hazy. I mostly remember the feeling of... Fun. And I remember you punching me in the face.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah. Sorry about that. I thought you were trying to eat me. Come on. We've got a rat to catch. Why so happy? Is this the part where breach shows up and rescues you?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Actually, no. This is the part where she takes your inadequately guarded fuel core.
:'''Six:''' Six to post, what's your status? Six to post.
:'''Rex:''' Another decoy?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I should share some of the credit with your friend over here. He played the part to perfection.
:'''Noah:''' Gee, thanks.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, this would be the part where Breach shows up.
:'''Noah:''' I can't believe I did all this. Sounds like I had the time of my life.
:'''Rex:''' ''[laughing]'' It almost became your life. Sorry about that.
:'''Noah:''' Are you kidding? Just knowing I was a rampaging EVO is cool. I wish I could have remembered at least some of it.
:'''Rex:''' It's probably all over the news if you want a replay... At least until you stepped on the news van.
:'''Noah:''' Well... ''[Exhales sharply]'' Guess it's back to quadratic equations.
:'''Rex:''' I have no idea what those are. I've got somewhere I need to be. See you later. I know. I'm not supposed to be here. I don't care if it's a construction zone. I'm moving back.
:'''Six:''' It's all right. Turns out you're not the only one who feels that way. You'll get used to the cold showers. Food, you're on your own. From the top?
:'''Rex:''' From the top.
:'''Six:''' What were you trying to build, anyway?
:'''Rex:''' A water jet. Oh, by the way, I need a new cellphone.
:'''Six:''' Yes?
:'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' It's after my glasses again.
:'''Six:''' Glasses?
:'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' This time I am serious. Now, when are you going to send someone out here?
:'''Six:''' Ma'am, I'm...
:'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' Do you even work for Providence?
:'''Six:''' Yes, I work for Providence.
:'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' What kind of a flimflam outfit is this?
:'''Six:''' How did you get this number?
===Wasteland===
===Tough Love===
===The Lost Weekend===
:'''Kenwyn:''' What did you to Skwydd?
:'''Mouse:''' Just shedding a light light on how dangerous his kind can be.
:'''Rex:''' By juicing his powers? What were you thinking?
:'''Mouse:''' Most inorganic material explodes when given that kind of molecular jolt, but not not nanites. They convert the energy into power that amplifies an E.V.O.'s abilities to tremendously uncontrollable levels.
===Star-Crossed===
===Alliance===
:'''Rex:''' The ends of the earth lie a place so deadly, it was sealed forever from the outside world. Welcome... to the Bug Jar... Where monstrous creatures roam free... Where a faithless ruler seeks to escape to inflict his wrath upon humanity. But now, the Great Barrier is on the verge of failure... And the hope of all mankind lies in the bravest, most capable hands. And, uh, speaking of hands, you have four. Think you could lend one?
:'''Bobo:''' Whoops.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Guys, what's the status of the shield?
:'''Rex:''' The power regulator is completely trashed, doc. I'll need to control it manually until I can get it started. Mm. Kind of ripe in here.
:'''Bobo:''' That little back door there?
:''[Bobo clears throat]''
:'''Bobo:''' Not the bathroom. More Bug Jar, buddies. I got the last one.
:'''Rex:''' ''[Sighs]'' Fine. Hold this. And whatever you do, do not let go.
:'''Bobo:''' Or what?
:'''Rex:''' Kaboom!
:'''Bobo:''' He will pay.
:'''Rex:''' Okay, little wormie, come to papa. Whoa. Yet even in this forsaken place, our hero runs afoul of his evil nemesis... Van Kleiss. Activating stealth suit. Looks like Van Kleiss decided to crash the party.
:'''Bobo:''' Just like that guy knocked the phone ahead.
:'''Rex:''' ''[to himself]'' And he brought his Pack flunkies. Biowulf, Skalamander, Breach. Circe? Gotta hurry. Their headed straight for-- Someplace else. Gonna find out where.
:'''Bobo:''' No way. You're not leaving me here with your--
:'''Rex:''' Sorry. Another call.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, why aren't you fixing that shield regulator?
:'''Rex:''' Hint-- You may remember him from such schemes as destroying Providence headquarters, and trying to take over the entire Earth.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Van Kleiss, in there? You're right. You should investigate, after you fix the shield.
:'''Rex:''' Then it might be too late.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' She's there, isn't she?
:'''Rex:''' Who, Breach? Yeah, but--
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' A quick recon, and that's it. I'll try to buy some time at this end. And I want regular check-ins.
:'''Rex:''' Yep, got it.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Intriguing. An entire divergent branch of EVO development.
:'''Biowulf:''' This place is a waste of our time.
:'''Circe:''' Van Kleiss knows what he's doing. It's not your place to question.
:'''Biowulf:''' Question?! You dare accuse me of disloyalty?! Hmm.
:'''Circe:''' Sorry. Get a grip.
:'''Rex:''' With no care for his own safety, our brave hero tails his quarry into the very lion's den. Unknown to the villain, he'll be meddling in forces he can't possibly control.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Circe, if you would?
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:'''NoFace:''' Intruders!
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:''[Skalamander grunts]''
:'''NoFace:''' Who are you?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Someone in a position to help you.
:'''NoFace:''' Follow.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Breach, with me. The rest of you, remain here.
:'''Biowulf:''' Master, my place is at your side.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I want no interruptions, Biowulf. Is that clear?
:'''Rex:''' Okay, folks, here's the 4-1-1. VK, NoFace-- Getting cozy. Gonna try to bust it up. That's all I got for now. Over and out.
:'''Bobo:''' Oh, don't you dare hang up! I'm a feeling a cramp coming on!
:'''Circe:''' You're right, you know. We should be down there with him. What is he up to, anyway?
:'''Biowulf:''' I... do not know.
:'''Circe:''' You don't know? I thought he trusted you with everything.
:'''Biowulf:''' Of course he does! He just--
:'''Rex:''' Hey! Easy on the stealth suit, which apparently, isn't so stealthy.
:'''Circe:''' Rex?
:'''Skalamander:''' Providence Spy!
:'''Rex:''' Right! Man, got it in one! Yep, we heard V.K. was looking for a new second-in-command.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Biowulf:''' What?!
:'''Rex:''' True story. Got it straight from intel. Not surprised, really. That NoFace is one bad dude. Guess Bio-Whelp here ain't cutting it these days.
:''[Biowulf roars]''
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:''[Skalamander grunts]''
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:'''Circe:''' Aah!
:'''Rex:''' Seen it before. First they keep you out of meetings.
:''[Skalamander grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Then the boss chews you out for trying to do your job. Next thing you know, you're taking orders from the new guy, and you're just another hench like Skalamander.
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:''[Biowulf growls]''
:'''Rex:''' Here comes the moment when our brave hero sweeps the girl of her feet!
:'''Biowulf:''' Don't let him.
:'''Rex:''' Literally!
:'''Circe:''' Hey! Let--
:'''Rex:''' ''[flies off with Circe in his arms]'' See you around, henchie!
:'''Biowulf:''' ''[to Skalamander]'' Follow them!
:'''Circe:''' Down! Now!
:'''Rex:''' Not till we hear each other out!
:'''Circe:''' Sure. I'll go first.
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:''[Breaks the Bogie Pack with a hypersonic burst, causing them to fall]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah! Oh, great! Way to go, Circe!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Any word from Rex?
:'''Bobo:''' He ain't back, and I'm still holding the bag. Hold on. Rex? That you, pal? Hidin' in plain sight. I hate this place.
:'''NoFace:''' Invaders have come before. They brought only pain.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' It is a pain we both share. The same Providence outsides attacked my lands, destroyed my army.
:'''NoFace:''' There was one who tormented us-- Humiliated us. The grower of machines.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Ah, Rex. Another thorn we share. My proposal is simple. You control a formidable legion. I, in turn, can provide the escape and the vengeance you seek. I can be your liberator. You can be my general. Together, we will crush our enemies, starting with the one you hate most. Now, then, are we--
:'''Biowulf:''' Master, I have a report.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' ''[Irritated]'' This is a private conversation. Can't you handle the slightest detail without bothering me?
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:'''Biowulf:''' Of course, master. It was nothing.
:''[Circe grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Whoa!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah! Ouch!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' ''[to himself]'' Our hero pursues the girl of his dreams, heedless of her attempts to break his heart.
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Along with the rest of him. Circe! Just give me one minute, okay? Look, no powers.
:'''Circe:''' One minute. But if this is about leaving the Pack--
:'''Rex:''' Please. I'm way past that. There are bigger things going on here than who you hang out with.
:'''Circe:''' Fifty seconds.
:'''Rex:''' I wasn't sent here to spy on you. I'm here to stop these things from ever getting out.
:'''Circe:''' Forty. Why are you telling me this? You know who I am.
:'''Rex:''' You've seen the things that live here. Whatever deal you think Van Kleiss is making, it's going to turn out bad for everyone.
:'''Circe:''' Thirty seconds.
:'''Rex:''' I do know who you are, Circe. Just once think for yourself! Maybe your perfect leader could actually be wrong, maybe even a bit crazy. Nuts! Certifiably insane!
:'''Circe:''' Shut up!
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:'''Circe:''' Twenty. Talk about blinded. Did you ever wonder why Van Kleiss is so interested in you?
:'''Rex:''' Oh, I don't know. Maybe he wants me dead?
:'''Circe:''' Not anymore. Something has changed, Rex. Ever since you got your powers back, I hear him talking. Says you have something that's the key to everything. For whatever reason, he needs you alive. I know it, Rex. He'd never let you be killed.
:'''Rex:''' Never, huh?
:'''Circe:''' Time's up.
:''[Circe grunts]''
:'''NoFace:''' Enough talk! Free us!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You understand I need certain... assurances.
:'''NoFace:''' Assurances? Explain.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' If I free you, will you trust in my leadership and mine alone?
:'''NoFace:''' Leadership must be proven. Show us you can defeat our enemies.
:'''Rex:''' Now, this looks like a party.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Rex. You never cease to amaze me.
:'''No-Face:''' Defiler! Give it to us!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Now do you believe I can deliver what I say? Will you agree to my leadership?
:'''NoFace:''' We agree to it! Give him to us! Now! Now! Now!
:'''Circe:''' ''[very shocked]'' Van Kleiss, I didn't bring Rex here so you could-- He'll kill him!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Never forget how I found you, Circe. What you were... before. He's yours.
:''[Tears well up in Circe's eyes; thoroughly horrified that her master would calmly allow Rex's life to be put at risk]''
:'''NoFace:''' You! Bring him to the vestibule!
:'''Rex:''' You have your orders!
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:'''Biowulf:''' I'm going to enjoy this.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' You were supposed to finish me off. Now you just get to watch with the other hench bags. Surrounded by the jeering throng, the hero faces certain doom. The heartbreaker looks on. When it's over, she'll regret shunning his advances.
:'''NoFace:''' Now you feel... my pain!
:'''Rex:''' First, a few ground rules. Nothing below the belt, and I have a date on Friday, so easy on the face.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' It's not exactly a problem in your case, having NoFace and all. Huh?
:''[Rex gasps]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' No anchovies on pizza.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' No stripes with plaids.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah! Termine ser sentados, Por favor!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' ''[weakly]'' Is this what you wanted?
:''[Collapses from his inquiries, causing Circe to open her eyes]''
:'''Circe''' ''[tearful, pleading]'': Stop this! Please! You need him alive!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Alive-- Yes. Heart pumping, lungs breathing. But his mind? The less that's left of that, the better. Circe, I warn you. Lift so much as a finger to help him, and you're finished!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I'll have this trash removed. And now that you've had your fun, it's time to finalize our--
:'''NoFace:''' We will have our full revenge!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' It seems we've reached something of an impasse.
:'''NoFace:''' We take orders from no one else!
:'''Rex:''' I'm not driving a wedge between you, Am I?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Well played.
:'''Rex:''' Good news for me. For you, not so much.
:''[Van Kleiss grunts]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Pity we couldn't have worked something out. Breach, if you would?
:''[Van Kleiss sighs]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Looks like the hard way, then.
:''[Van Kleiss grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Huh? His work here finished, the hero does the noble thing. He runs like a thief. Adiós!
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:'''Bobo:''' Where the heck have you been?!
:'''Rex:''' You're not still holding on to that, are you? Because it's a good thing-- You know, with the whole... kaboom... Doc, I'm back.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' There you are. Rex, listen to me. If the shield fails, the only solution is a cold reboot of the system. I don't need to tell you what will happen if the thing's in there get out.
:'''Rex:''' Keep your lab coat on. This'll only take a minute. Or maybe not. Doc, do you remember back in the briefing all that stuff you were saying about worst-case scenarios? Yeah, we have a winner. I got nothing.
:'''Bobo:''' Great. 'Cause this situation's not random enough already. Let's throw some raging teen hormones into the mix.
:'''Circe:''' You, Biowulf, even me... We're all just means to an end for him. He doesn't really care about any of us.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, you finally figured that out. Well, better late than never, I guess.
:'''Circe:''' It's not too late, not if I have anything to say about it.
:''[Extends her fleshly and grotesque EVOs mouth]''
:'''Bobo:''' Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! There are some of us around here that might not like the sound of whatever you're about to do.
:'''Circe:''' I'll adjust the frequency to exclude friendly EVOs.
:'''Bobo:''' Does that include me?
:'''Circe:''' For now.
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:''[Uses her melodious, hypnotic singing to call back the EVOs escaping]''
:'''Bobo:''' Whoa, mama!
:''[Bobo grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' I thought you said you could filter it.
:'''Circe:''' It's not an exact science.
:'''Rex:''' It worked! You're calling them all back! And right towards us! Torn between saving his friends or the world, our hero makes the stupid choice.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Come on, Bobo... Focus! Think bananas! Think how much you hate 'em!
:'''Biowulf:''' Get that thing running.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, you'll need to follow this sequence exactly.
:'''Rex:''' Not no time for that!
:'''Computer''': Shield activation in sixty seconds. Fifty-nine, fifty-eight--
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:''[Circe groans]''
:'''Bobo:''' Gotcha! Not seeing much of a difference.
:'''Rex:''' We are out of here! You coming or what?
:'''Biowulf:''' I was never here.
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:'''Computer:''' Fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
:''[Circe groans]''
:''[Circe grunts]''
:'''Circe:''' Van Kleiss?
:'''Rex:''' Eh, Breach'll get him out... Eventually. But right now he's in there, you're out here. You'll never have a better time to consider, you know, your options.
:''[Notice the two of them holding hands and let go, blushing]''
:'''Bobo:''' What is it about stealing from our own people that's so dang satisfyin'?
:'''Circe:''' You forgot to remove the tracker.
:'''Bobo:''' Eh, funny that.
:'''Circe:''' I'm not going to Providence.
:'''Rex:''' Doesn't matter where you go. All that matters is that you want to go there. That said... I hear Hong Kong's nice this time of year. And so, the tired warrior journeys homeward-- Crisis averted, world saved, villains vanquished.
:'''Bobo:''' Girl not got. Again!
:'''Rex:''' Do you have to rub it in?
===Robo Bobo===
===Divide By Six===
:'''One''': ''[Speaking through Rex]'' Six.
:'''Six''': One?
:'''One''': You left this place, quit life as a mercenary and so rarely returned to visit.
:'''Six''': I did what I felt was right, I never meant to dishonor.
:'''One''': So rarely, that I never had time to tell you how proud you've made me.
:'''Six''': ''[Takes off his glasses for the first time in the series]'' We're going to help you. We're going to take you home.
:'''One''': But Six, I am home. ''[Rex falls unconscious while One's body starts changing. Eventually his body dissolves and fertilizes the entire island to its former splendor]''
: '''Six:''' He's still One. He's just one with everything.
===Mixed Signals===
: '''Rex:''' Whoa, big guy! Someone needs to ease off on the cheeseburgers.
: '''Six:''' Skip the insults. Start the containment.
: '''Rex:''' Like its feelings are going to get hurt. One bad and ugly going down. What?
: '''Six:''' Rex? Rex!
: '''Rex:''' Cool!
: '''Six:''' You want to explain this?
: '''Rex:''' I don't know. It's like some weird vision of this thing filled my head, then built itself out of me. Maybe the vision came from Blobbo. Maybe it's trying to talk to me. Come on, big boy. Send me some more pictures. What's on your mind?
: '''Six:''' Groceries. That's what's on its mind.
: '''Rex:''' I'm skipping. I'm over it. That vision must have been a fluke.
: '''Six:''' All right, then. We're going with a two-prong attack. Use caution. This kind of EVO might be a splitter. Rex! Snap out of it!
: '''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa! Ha! I wasn't supposed to do that, right?
: '''Six:''' Rex, I want you back at HQ.
: '''Rex:''' But I feel okay now. And we've got, um-- Two blobs to put down.
: '''Six:''' Now!
: '''Holiday:''' No trace of any recent electrochemical or DNA abnormalities. Everything reads normal.
: '''Rex:''' But it's like the visions were being transmitted, and I was seeing it from a nanite point of view.
: '''Holiday:''' I can't track it, Rex. There's no sign of signal displacement or a nano disturbance. Maybe we should consider the possibility that this is psychological.
: '''Rex:''' Huh? Pizza.
: '''Holiday:''' I think he's having another vision.
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Of lunch?
: '''Rex:''' With pineapple and salmon.
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Blech! He is nuts.
: '''Holiday:''' Aside from a strange choice in pizza toppings, all readings are normal. I can't explain it.
: '''Rex:''' Well, if my nanites are trying to get me to build something, maybe we should give them what they want.
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Whatever it is, I'm not eating it. Is that my electric toothbrush?
: '''Rex:''' It better not be the one I've been using.
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Oh.
: '''Rex:''' This is what I'm seeing in my head. As stupid as it looks. It's like someone or something is sending me instructions to build some big device.
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Or build a pizza with pineapple and salmon.
: '''Rex:''' Okay. I'm not sure about that vision.
: '''Holiday:''' Is that my hairdryer?
: '''Rex:''' I just need to figure out what it does. Maybe it's a time machine. Or-- Or alien technology!
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Maybe it's just a big pile of junk. Or a way to order a really awful pizza.
: '''Contraption Voice:''' Target acquired.
: '''Holiday:''' Rex!
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Wake up!
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Provindece Soldier #1:''' Hey, where do you think you're going? We've got a security breach. Front floor.
: '''Providence Soldier #2:''' Lockdown protocols enabled. All hands report to duty station. Security speed, take position.
: '''Rex:''' Sorry, guys. I might be a little... late.
: '''Caesar:''' Case compression. Release.
: '''Rex:''' Figures I'd build a machine with a serious attitude problem.
: '''Caesar:''' ''[taking off his helmet and turns to Rex]'' Rex, is that you?
: '''Rex:''' Who’s asking?
: '''Caesar:''' It’s me, Caesar, your brother! Mijo! ''[Hugs Rex]'' You're alive and... older. ''[Rex is dumbfounded]'' Uh. Atomic clock was right... ''[spanish accent]'' Es una problema grande.
: '''Rex:''' Uh, yeah. ''[Pushes Caesar]'' It is a big problem.
: '''Caesar:''' What is this place? Who are you people? ''[to Rex]'' I'm getting you out of here!
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Sorry, amigo. Put your hands up. Or don't. I got a clear shot either way.
: '''Caesar:''' ''[is looking at Bobo]'' A talking chimp?
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Don't bother. I've heard all the jokes.
: '''Caesar:''' Have they hurt you? Are you okay? Stand aside.
: '''Rex:''' Hello? Do I get a say in this?
: '''Holiday:''' If you're part of some elaborate plan to kidnap Rex, then you failed.
: '''Caesar:''' Listen, bonita, you don't wanna make me use this.
: '''Rex:''' ''[gets in between them]'' Enough! Normally around here when someone barges in talking crazy, they get around into the deck plates by my giant fists. But you seem legit. I'm going with him.
: '''Holiday:''' Rex!
: '''Rex:''' Okay, brother. Lead the way. So if you are my brother, where have you been all this time?
: '''Caesar:''' I'll explain later when we're safe.
: '''Rex:''' Uh, this is Providence. We are safe. Usually.
: '''Caesar:''' Providence? Never heard of it. To be honest, the last five years has been a bit of a blur.
: '''Rex:''' I want to believe you, but I'm gonna need some proof.
: '''Caesar:''' Your name is Rex Salazar. Our parents are Violetta and Raphael. The last time I saw you was at the Applied Nanite Research Lab in Abysus; right before those fools triggered a replication cycle.
: '''Rex:''' And I have total amnesia so, for all I know, that could be completely bogus.
: '''Caesar:''' There's a scar on the back of your left knee you got when you were seven, riding the gantry arm in the reactor annex.
: '''Rex:''' Hmm. I always wondered how I got that.
:''[they go out and Rex notices Caesar Salazar's pod laboratory]''
: '''Rex:''' Whoa. Nice wheels.
: '''Six:''' ''[Comes out and unsheathed his swords]'' Don't even think about it.
: ''[Caesar is about to attack but Rex stops him]''
: '''Rex:''' It's okay. Six isn't going to hurt you. Right, Six? You're comming in a little late on this, but, uh, this is Caesar, my brother, and he wants to get me out of here. So, let's just let my brother have his way and see where this all goes. Wherever you plan on going, they're going to follow us. You know that, right?
: '''Caesar:''' They can try.
: '''Rex:''' I don't know. Providence ship are pretty fast.
: '''Six:''' Track Rex's bio signature and find out who that guy really is.
: '''Rex:''' You ain't kidding. This thing moves fast. A-are we in the arctic?
: '''Caesar:''' How do you think I got to your location so quickly once the locator signaled me?
: '''Rex:''' Locator? You sent me the schematics to build that thing? It tried to crush me like a bug!
: '''Caesar:''' Sorry, mijo. I wasn't really trying to hurt. ''[scans Rex's body]'' I was looking for what's hiding inside of you. ''[showing Rex the result]'' The Omega One Nanite.
: '''Rex:''' That thing? Holiday discovered it before. We had no idea what it was.
: '''Caesar:''' I sent signal instructions for the Omega One to track and contain. But since the nanite has integrated into your DNA, you became the conduit for building the machine. What I don't get is how the Omega One got inside of you. Rylander was supposed to have that under lock and key.
: '''Rex:''' Rylander? He's the one who put it inside me.
: '''Caesar:''' Why would he do a thing like that? I'm really gonna have to let old fool have it when I see him.
: '''Rex:''' Not possible-- Courtesy of Van Kleiss.
: '''Caesar:''' Van Kleiss?! What does that third-rate lab hack have to do with this?
: '''Rex:''' What? I guess I’m not the only one who needs an update. Where have you been?
: '''Caesar:''' It's a long story-- actually, short by my clock. A splinter group had formed at the lab. They had other ideas about how the nanites would be used. We tried to stop them, and you were hurt. The only way to save your life was an infusion of nanites. It was risky, but it worked. We thought that'd be enough to stop the others, make them see the right path. But we were wrong. Mom and Dad were in the reactor. As for me, I managed to escape in my lab. But the shock wave, the same shock wave that probably blanked your memory.... also interfered with engine that powers this pod. I was stuck in sub-light drive.
: '''Rex:''' How long?
: '''Caesar:''' Fifteen minutes. That's how long it took me to reboot the system. But at the speed I was going, it was 5 years of your time. I knew there was an accident, but I had no idea how bad. My nanite sensors were off the charts. My 1st priority was to insure the OM-1 was safe. That was our promise. And here we are. So, what have I missed these past five years?
: '''Rex:''' Providence? We need to talk. They can wait.
: '''Caesar:''' So let me understand, there are EVOs and Van Kleiss claimed as their leader?
: '''Rex:''' Well, not for all of them, yet. I want to know about me, about our parents.
: '''Caesar:''' They were scientists. We lived all over the world. Things settled down when you came along. That was in Geneva.
: '''Rex:''' Wait a second. Are you saying I'm Swiss?
: ''Caesar:'' Not really. Mother was born in Mexico City. Father in Buenos Aires.
: '''Rex:''' And they're really... gone? ''[Caesar slowly nods sadly]''
: '''Rex:''' Um, where exactly did this ship take us?
: '''Caesar:''' What do you know?We're back at the original lab site.
: '''Rex:''' You mean the one in Abysus?
: '''Caesar:''' Is that a problem?
: '''Rex:''' I'd say just a small one. We should go, like now.
: '''Caesar:''' ''[typing]'' Hmm... Must be low on charge. ''[walks out the door]'' We may be stuck, but on the bright side, I can take a look at some of these variegated organisms. ''[goes out]''
: '''Rex:''' Caesar! Wait!
: ''[outside and observing the EVOs]''
: '''Caesar:''' Fascinating. We theorized mutations might occur but never anything this random.
: ''[Rex hits the EVO before they got near Caesar]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Sorry, bro, but these guys--
: ''[Rex hits another EVO]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Usually don't sit still for questions.
: '''Caesar:''' ''[seeing Rex's new build]'' Hmm... That's new.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Guess I've learned a--
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' A few tricks. But they still won't be enough if Van Kleiss shows up with all his goons. Six!
: '''Six:'''We're locked onto you. The keep is already on its way.
: '''Rex:''' Your ship may be out of juice, but I'm not. Hop on. I can get us out of here.
: '''Caesar:''' I won't leave my lab, and you definitely don't want Van Kleiss getting his hands on some of the things in here. I'll try to reroute the capacitors to an alternate power source.
: '''Caesar:''' Oh, you wanna see a photo of you, me, and papi? Maybe later.
: '''Rex:''' You're a little off, aren't you, Caesar?
: '''Biowulf:''' What was that machine it flew off with?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' A laboratory. One I thought I'd never see again. It seems an old friend has returned-Caesar.
: '''Rex:''' Providence isn't so bad now, eh, hermano?
: '''Caesar:''' Is this a Grinnell? They always made good consoles, except for the random power surges.
: '''Six:''' Well?
: '''Rex:''' Everything's cool. He's a little kooky, but I'm pretty sure he's my brother.
: '''Six:''' Glad to hear it. Now I need you back. We still have some unfinished business.
: '''Rex:''' Got to get back to work.
: '''Caesar:''' My little brother, the hero. I remember when you just wanted to be a musician.
: '''Rex:''' Guitar? No, wait drums.
: '''Caesar:''' Accordion.
: '''Rex:''' You got to be kidding me!
: '''Six:''' As I recall, you started it.
: '''Rex:''' Huh?
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Six:''' The EVO is dividing faster than we can contain it. The city is being evacuated.
: '''Caesar:''' Hmm. Excuse me, admiral. I need you to take me down there immediately. Afraid I'll have to insist.
: '''Six:''' Rex!
: '''Rex:''' Are you crazy?!
: '''Caesar:''' Depends on who you ask. I had something in my lab that I thought could help.
: '''Six:''' Help? You're not even supposed to be outside the keep.
: '''Rex:''' WHOO-HOO! Way to go, bro! First day on the job, and you already got a save!
: '''Six:''' Job?
: '''Rex:''' Oh, come on, admit it, Six. He just saved our chicharrones.
: ''[Caesar laughs]''
: '''Rex:''' What? What's so funny?
: '''Caesar:''' You always make me laugh when you try to speak Spanish.
: '''Holiday:''' We've pulled his records, and I've confirmes his DNA. It seems Rex really does have a brother.
: '''White Knight:''' If everything I've read about him is true, he could be an incredible asset to Providence.
: '''Six:''' Or a major liability.
: '''White Knight:''' All the more reason to keep him with us. Give him whatever he needs.
: '''Holiday:''' White's right, Six. He knows more about nanites than anyone on the planet. He helped invent them.
: '''Six:''' My point exactly. He's settling in?
: '''Rex:''' I guess so. Caesar's a little strange. Hard to believe he's actually my brother.
: '''Six:''' I'm happy for you, Rex. You always said you wanted to find your family.
: '''Rex:''' Thanks, but... You know that? I already did. Caesar may be my brother, but you, Holiday, Bobo, you're who I have a connection with.
: '''Bobo:''' Aww, now, see, I'm getting all misty.
: '''Caesar:''' There you are. Hmm. Nice view. Say, mijo, you think your cafeteria could whip up a pizza with pineapple and salmon? I've been craving one for days.
: '''Bobo:''' Connection, huh?
===Outpost===
:'''Alvarez:''' Did you hear that? Aah!
:'''Providence Agent:''' Alvarez!
:'''Valentina:''' He will be fine in a few hours.
:'''Providence Agent:''' Drop it.
:'''Valentina:''' I was planning to.
:''[Alvarez grunts]''
:'''Providence Agent:''' They are free.
:'''Valentina:''' Muy bueno. Providence is now at war with the Green Fist!
:'''Rex:''' Come on, doc. Are you serious? Another one? Ouch!
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' Oh, this is really necessary.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The rainforest is rife with diseases, poisonous insects, and worse. I don't want you coming down with anything.
:'''White Knight:''' Is he ready to go?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' As ready as he'll ever be.
:'''Rex:''' He's wondering how come Six doesn't have to get a shot if he's also going?
:'''White Knight:''' Six is still in New Zealand, dealing with a... Small problem.
:'''Rex:''' Oh sure. Let him deal with the small stuff. While I do all the hard work.
:'''White Knight:''' ''[to Rex]'' We don't have time to wait for him. You're going solo.
:'''Bobo:''' Hey! Where he goes, I go.
:'''White Knight:''' Like I said-- Solo. Now, this Green Fist group have been stealing EVOs all over South America. We believe they will hit Corazon de Selva next.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The Providence station there has just captured a large batch of EVOs in the jungle.
:'''Rex:''' Bobo and I are ready to roll.
:'''White Knight:''' Be careful. For all we know, the Green Fist could be selling EVOs to Van Kleiss.
:'''Bobo:''' I'm ready for carnival! Let's party!
:''[White Knight clears throat]''
:'''White Knight:''' The situation down there is... complex. I need both of you to handle the mission quietly and with diplomacy.
:'''Rex:''' I can be diplomatic. Oh, by the way, you might want to think about switching to low-fat, White. Starting to look at little... Jowly.
:'''Bobo:''' Better leave the diplomacy to the small one.
:'''Rex:''' This is the town?
:'''Bobo:''' Something tells me they're not in the mood to party. Maybe a knock-knock joke would lighten things up?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' You must be Rex.
:'''Rex:''' You're Agent Martrello?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' You may call me "Oso", my friend.
:'''Rex:''' White Knight said to send his regards.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Maybe he could come visit sometime, get some sun, see what it's like on the front lines nowadays? ''[laughing. Then to Bobo]'' This must be the monkey. He does tricks? Hello, señor Bobo.
:'''Bobo:''' ''[puts his palm to Oso's mouth]'' That's "Agent Haha" to you, buddy.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Come. The station is not fair.
:'''Bobo:''' Doesn't anybody mow the grass around here?
:''[Oso Maretelo chuckles]''
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Often. But the jungle can only be kept at bay, not subdued.
:''[Oso Maretelo grunting]''
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' There we go.
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Apologies. The air-conditioning is down again.
:'''Bobo:''' Makes our place look like the penthouse suite.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' But who needs air-conditioning? We're here to work! The kennel is this way. Most of these EVOs we brought in last week from deep in the jungle. A tempting target for the Green Fist.
:'''Rex:''' Whoa. It's packed in here! What are you gonna do with all of them?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' The big ones are shipped to larger facilities, like yours. These smaller ones stay here. They're really quite harmless, but the world wants EVOs captured, so we keep them. Oh, careful! This EVO is not like the rest. Took down six of my agents before we caught it.
:'''Rex:''' Is it really tiny or something?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' That's strange. He was here this morning, he can't have escaped. Aah!
:'''Bobo:''' Peekaboo.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Aah!
:'''Bobo:''' Yah!
:'''Rex:''' You all right there, buddy?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' I think you've both earned that cold drink you wanted.
:'''Rex:''' See? This gig isn't so bad. Cold drinks, fringe benefits.
:'''Bobo:''' It's on the fringe, all right, but I don't see the benefit.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Drink, Agent Haha. Horchata, the rice milk, is good for you. Besides... It's all they serve here.
:'''Rex:''' I think it's pretty good, but how come we can't get any service?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' We're Providence. All they know is when there's trouble, Providence is there. Our relationship with them is, uh, complex.
:'''Rex:''' Complex? We protect them from EVOs. You know, this calls for a little diplomacy.
:'''Bobo:''' Oh, brother.
:'''Rex:''' Excuse me.
:'''Waitress:''' ¿Sí?
:'''Rex:''' Uh... Uh...
:''[Waitress chuckles]''
:'''Waitress:''' You don't look like the usual Providence soldiers.
:'''Rex:''' That's 'cause I'm not. Name's Rex. Maybe you've seen me on the news?
:'''Waitress:''' No.
:'''Rex:''' Uh, what's that?
:'''Waitress:''' The horchata anejo. It's aged. Muy sabrosa.
:'''Rex:''' I'll take a pitcher of that.
:'''Waitress:''' We only make one pitcher a night. They have it.
:'''Rex:''' Hey, mind if I try some?
:'''Valentina:''' It's too strong for you, gringo.
:'''Rex:''' Gringo? So Mexicano!
:'''Valentina:''' Y tambien eres Providencia. Okay. Let's see if you can handle it.
:'''Rex:''' Gracias.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex gulps]''
:'''Rex:''' Ugh! That's good! Smooth!
:''[Rex gagging]''
:''[Oso Maratelo laughs]''
:'''Rex:''' ''[after taking a drink]'' I don't get what makes it so special.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' It's made from rice that's passed through the digestive system of a monkey.
:''[Rex spits his drink]''
:''[Valentina growls]''
:''[Biruta grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Whoa!
:''[Woman gasps]''
:''[Woman grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Woman:''' Aah!
:'''Old Man:''' Aah!
:'''Man:''' Aah!
:'''Biruta:''' Aah!
:'''Rex:''' I can't use my EVO powers against them! I don't want to hurt these people!
:'''Bobo:''' I wish they felt the same about us!
:'''Rex:''' Oso, you know how to use one of those?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' The lariat? Oh, yes. I grew up roping steer on my Uncle's Rancho.
:'''Bobo:''' Rex!
:'''Biruta:''' El es un EVO!
:''[Valentina sighs]''
:''[Oso Maretelo laughs]''
:'''Rex:''' So, what do you think of that? Aah!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Waitress:''' ''[tossing Rex, Bobo and Martello out the bar]'' You are like the other Providence agents-- Bad for business!
:''[Oso Maretelo laughs]''
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' This is where diplomacy gets you, my young friend. Now, are you up for a stakeout?
:'''Bobo:''' Not me! I'm out of with this town and these ungrateful people. I'm going home.
:'''Rex:''' But, Bobo, we need you for a special undercover mission?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Please, Agent Haha. You are the key to the entire operation.
:'''Bobo:''' Oh, yeah? Well, you could have said that before.
:''[Oso Maretelo laughs]''
:''[Bobo grunting]''
:'''Biruta:''' Quiet! I'm trying to free you from Providence!
:'''Bobo:''' I am Providence, dummy.
:''[Biruta grunts]''
:''[Oso Maretelo laughs]''
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' These toys of yours-- They're for children!
:''[Biruta grunts]''
:''[Valentina grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Who're you working for?
:''[Valentina grunts]''
:''[Rex gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' You?! Horchata girl?! What do you think you're doing?!
:'''Valentina:''' I'm feeding all your prisoners, creep!
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Aah!
:''[Bobo groans]''
:'''Bobo:''' Whoa!
:'''Rex:''' Scratch marks? Weird. What the heck did this?
:''[Valentina screams]''
:'''Valentina:''' Huh? Aah!
:'''Rex:''' Take a number! I have business with the señorita first. Aah!
:''[Valentina grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah! Aah!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Bobo:''' Hyah!
:'''Valentina:''' Aah!
:'''Bobo:''' Yeah, and stay down!
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Rex, you okay?
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' I feel... fine. I hope Holiday gave me a shop or whatever that was.
:'''Valentina:''' For the last time, we don't work for Van Kleiss! The Green Fist fights for the EVOs who cannot fight for themselves. We set them free-- Nothing more.
:''[Bobo snorts]''
:'''Bobo:''' Just what we need-- Humans for ethical treatment of EVOs.
:'''Valentina:''' Ugh! We were returning them to their natural habitat! What Providence does is wrong and against the natural order of things! ''[to Rex]'' You're a traitor to your own kind!
:'''Rex:''' That thing you set free-- It's natural order is to exterminate mankind! It wanted to kill you! Your men are dying because of it.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I wish I had better news.
:'''Rex:''' Thanks anyway, doc. We'll call with updates.
:'''Bobo:''' What did she say?
:'''Rex:''' The nanites in my system are fighting off the toxin, but that's only slowing it down. We need to make an anti-toxin, or-- or...
:'''Valentina:''' Or se va a morir!
:'''Bobo:''' In English! In English!
:'''Rex:''' It's doing to me what it's done to Valentina's men. If we don't get the anti-toxin soon, they'll die, and, eventually, I will, too.
:'''Bobo:''' Think I liked it better in Spanish.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' If I can get a blood sample of that EVO with this, it'll beam its DNA sequence back to Holiday and she'll be able to instantly synthesize an anti-toxin.
:'''Rex:''' I want to go.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' You're sick.
:'''Bobo:''' Aah!
:'''Rex:''' I'm better equipped than any agent you have, and you know it.
:''[Oso Maretelo sighs]''
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Very well. You'll come with me and a team of my best men.
:'''Valentina:''' You're killing him if you do that. Listen, you need me, Providence man. I know that jungle better than anyone. Your big, noisy party will alert that EVO. You won't get within a mile of it. My men are dying, too. Let me free!
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' You think I'm going to let you just walk out of here alone?
:'''Rex:''' No. I'm going, too.
:''[Bobo grunting]''
:'''Bobo:''' Aah!
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Anything yet?
:'''Rex:''' Nothing.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Rex, once you get the sample of the EVO's blood for the anti-toxin, I'll pick you up in the jump jet. White Knight wants you sticking to his orders, nothing more-- Capture the EVO and bring back the prisoner.
:'''Rex:''' Gotcha.
:'''Valentina:''' Orders? Prisoners? You wonder why we're suspicious of Providence.
:'''Rex:''' We're protecting people. What we're doing is good. I believe that.
:'''Valentina:''' You think I don't believe in what I do? Who decides who's right-- Your White Knight?
:''[Bobo snoring]''
:'''Rex:''' All we found out here are goats from the village-- At least what's left of them.
:''[Rex groans]''
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Valentina:''' You all right?
:'''Rex:''' I'm fine. Let's just hope this trap works.
:''[Bobo snoring]''
:'''Bobo:''' ''[to the creature]'' Hey, pal, didn't anybody tell you the trap's over there? Aah!
:'''Valentina:''' We've caught him!
:'''Bobo:''' No! You caught me! Big difference!
:'''Rex:''' Aaah! That's it. No more running. Hyah! Ahh! Okay, time for more running!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Ahh!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Adiós! Aah!
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' The toxins are breaking down my nanites!
:''[Rex panting]''
:'''Valentina:''' Over here! Come and get me!
:'''Rex:''' Don't! It'll kill you! :'''Valentina:''' You're too ill to fight it!
:'''Rex:''' Look, put down the flower basket and trust me.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' On my signal. Come on. Don't you want a nice Rex burger for breakfast? Not yet. Not yet. Now!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Valentina:''' You caught it. You've saved my men.
:'''Rex:''' We caught it... Together. First my cure... Now his. I don't believe it. This thing... It isn't an EVO.
:'''Valentina:''' The fangs, the toxin... The goat! Of course! How could I have been so blind? This animal is a chupacabra!
:'''Rex:''' Chupacabra? Isn't that a myth, like bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster?
:'''Valentina:''' I thought it was only a legend, too.
:'''Rex:''' Providence must have come blundering onto its home turf and captured it.
:'''Valentina:''' So... What will you do?
:'''Rex:''' Only one option, as far as I see it.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Go on. Get! Get!
:'''Valentina:''' There are things in this jungle stranger than EVOs and older than man.
:'''Rex:''' Well, as long as they stay here, we won't have anymore problems. Doc, did the sample beam through okay?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm synthesizing the anti-toxin right now. It'll be at the base by the time Oso picks you up.
:'''Rex:''' He'll be here soon with the jump set. You better get going.
:'''Valentina:''' Your orders were to bring me back.
:'''Rex:''' I don't always follow orders.
:'''Valentina:''' Thank you. This still doesn't make up for spitting the horchata in my face.
:'''Bobo:''' Ooh, slick. If it was me, I would have kissed her.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' The anti-toxin will have you back to normal within the hour. Now, what happened with the woman?
:'''Rex:''' She, uh, got away.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' I see. You're learning, my friend. It's complex. A woman like that-- It makes our problems with EVOs seem simple, no?
:''[Oso Maretelo laughs]''
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Safe journey, my friends. I hope to see you again.
:'''Bobo:''' That makes one of us.
:'''Waitress:''' Wait! For your trip!
:'''Rex:''' Uh... Gracias. How'd I earn this?
:'''Waitress:''' I heard what you did. The chupacabra-- It stole my abuela's goat. Providence is going to buy her a new one. Thank you.
:''[Waitress smooches]''
:'''Bobo:''' Hey, if that's all it took to make you happy, we would have run off with the goat when we first came to town. Aah! Aw! Some thanks!

===Without a Paddle===
===Written in Sand===
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, I need an uptade.
:'''Rex''': I'm right at the edge. Anything still alive in there is trying to get away from the sandstorm.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': It's not the storm they're running from. The nanites inside them are forcing the animals away. It's creating a kind of nanite-free zone.
:'''Rex''': Ha! We should call White Knight. Maybe he'll move here and leave us all alone.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': It's no laughing matter, Rex. It could be the most significant development since the original nanite event.
:'''Rex''': Yeah, yeah. Possible cures save the world-- Got it. I'll check it out.
:'''Bobo''': Hey, doc. You may wanna get a load of this over here.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Negative. The storm is moving in too fast. Just place a sensor and pack it in.
:'''Rex''': Hey. No. It couldn't be. Rex to base. We got trouble of the egomaniacal EVO kind.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Van Kleiss is here? Why am I not surprised?
:'''Rex''': I think the real question is, if everything else is in such a race to get out, why is he going on?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, wait.
:'''Rex''': Don't worry, doc. It's me. What could possibly happen?
:'''Skalamander''': RARGH! PTUH! They're nothing but dirt.
:'''Biowulf''': My senses-- Useless in all this sand.
:'''Van Kleiss''': This phenomenon deserves my personal attention. What we seek is nearby. I can feel it pushing against me.
:'''Rex''': ''[Rex emerges from the sand storm]'' Yeah?
:''[Skalamander grunts]''
:'''Rex''': ''[Rex kicks Skalamander]'' How about kicking against you, too?
:'''Van Kleiss''': Rex! You're not welcome here.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex''': Now, that hurt my feelings!
:''[Rex groaning]''
:''[Skalamander pins him to the sand, causing him to groan in pain]''
:''[Skalamander laughs]''
:'''Rex''': Aaah! Whoa!
:'''Van Kleiss''': If I never see your face again, It will be too soon!
:'''Rex''': Yeah? The feeling's-- Whoa! Mutual!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex? Rex, do you read me?
:''[Bobo coughing]''
:'''Bobo''': Okay, we gotta get outta here. I got sand in places I didn't even know I had places.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, if you can hear me, we're retreating to the safe zone. Rendezvous with us there.
:'''Rex''': AAAAH! WHOA-OHHHHHHH!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex coughs]''
:'''Rex''': Okay, Kleiss-- Go time! No EVO allies, just you and-- Whoa! Uh, sorry, buddy. Didn't mean to bring you along for the ride.
:'''Van Kleiss''': I don't need my EVO allies, when I can simply make more.
:'''Rex''': Don't get me wrong-- I love punching stuff. But anything you can do, I can undo better! We can do this all day. Or you can just spill it.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex''': Why are you causing this nanite-free zone?
:'''Van Kleiss''': How convenient it must be to make me the root of all evil. I'm not causing it. I've come to discover the source and destroy it.
:'''Rex''': This could be the cure to nanites.
:'''Van Kleiss''': And I live off nanites. What Providence calls a cure, I call death.
:'''Rex''': Really? Haven't we moved past this?
:'''Van Kleiss''': Huh?
:''[Van Kleiss grunts]''
:''[After Van Kleiss creates a scorpion EVO to attack Rex, it attacks him instead.]''
:'''Rex''': That is the funniest thing I have ever seen! Hang on-- I got to get this on video. ''[Takes out cell phone and starts recording Van Kleiss dodging the scorpion EVO.]''
:''[Van Kleiss panting]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': Something's wrong. I should be controlling this creature.
:'''Rex''': Stinks to be you. Huh? You ruined my shot!
:'''Van Kleiss''': I believe we've found something more interesting.
:'''Rex''': You like to point out the obvious, don't you?
:'''Bobo''': Don't get me wrong-- I love the kid, but if we don't pull stakes now, we'll be combing dust outta all sorts of places for years.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Too late. Hold on to everything that's not tied down. This is going to be a bumpy... ride.
:'''Six''': Holiday? I trust you're all right?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': I'm fine, Six. But Rex is still out there-- With Van Kleiss. I can't reach him.
:'''Six''': We'll prep a rescue party. Prepare to come aboard.
:'''Rex''': Hey!
:'''Van Kleiss''': This is not simply a nanite-free zone. Something is stealing the nanites from our bodies. If we linger here too long, we may both find ourselves defenseless against the other.
:'''Rex''': Well, then, we'd better blow this joint. And when I say "we" I mean "me".
:''[Rex tries to escape and fails]''
:'''Rex''': AAAAAAAAH!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': If either of us is to escape this place, we will have to work together.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex''': What exactly are you suggesting?
:'''Van Kleiss''': A temporary truce.
:'''Rex''': An extremely temporary truce.
:'''Van Kleiss''': We'll work our way to the center of the nanite storm.
:'''Rex''': No, we work our way out of the nanite storm and get Providence in here to figure out what's happening.
:'''Van Kleiss''': Providence? They can't be trusted.
:'''Rex''': Them? Didn't you try to take over New York? And Europe? And the world?
:'''Van Kleiss''': You need to listen to me, Rex. Without a powers, you're nothing but a child.
:'''Rex''': Oh, yeah? Truce over! Okay. This is awkward. Hey, is it just me, or are you getting really dust?
:'''Van Kleiss''': It's happening faster than I thought.
:'''Rex''': What's happening faster? If you know something, you'd better spit it out, or-- Whoa! It all looks fossilized. Like it's made completely out of... sand.
:'''Van Kleiss''': Not only are there no nanites here, this is pure silicone. There are no other elements-- No carbon, calcium, hydrogen. It appears that this zone not only destroys nanites, but is--
:'''Rex''': Squeezing the life from the Earth. This isn't sand. This is me!
:''[Rex whimpering]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': These glyphs-- There's something familiar about them. Sumatran? Mesopotamian?
:'''Rex''': Less geeking, more escaping!
:'''Van Kleiss''': We need to find the epicenter of this maze. These glyphs may hold the answer.
:'''Rex''': Only if one says "exit sign."
:'''Van Kleiss''': No need to panic, Rex. We have at least twenty minutes before fossilization-- Give or take.
:'''Rex''': "Don't panic"-- Says the guy who used to be dirt.
:''[Van Kleiss grunts]''
:'''Rex''': We're turning into walking litter boxes, and you're checking out caveman graffiti? No wonder I'm always kicking your butt.
:'''Van Kleiss''': You don't have an investigative bone in your body, do you? So strongheaded-- Just like your mother. ''[Rex is silent]'' No, you don't like that, do you-- That I know more about you than you do?
:'''Rex''': Skip the head games. Isn't exactly a good time.
:'''Van Kleiss''': No, but perhaps it is time for some truth. We may perish down here, Rex. Ask me anything you want about the past, and I'll answer it.
:'''Rex''': ''[looks at his own slowly fossilizing body]'' Sell it somewhere else. I'm not buying.
:''[walks away]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': Oh, so the great and powerful Providence has finally come through on their promise to help you remember your past.
:'''Rex''': Something better-- Someone who was actually there at the Nanite Event.
:'''Van Kleiss''': Aha. Your brother, Caesar.
:''[Van Kleiss chuckles evilly]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': I've been following you both very closely since his... miraculous reappearance. Even if you don't want to hear what I have to say, this one's for free. Do not place your trust in Caesar. He's not the man you believe him to be.
:'''Rex''': ''[creates his BFS and holds it at Van Kleiss' throat]'' What are you getting at?
:'''Van Kleiss''': Oh, no, no. That's not how this works. It isn't my turn. Quid pro quo, Rex. If you want to know more-- Why don't we start with something simple? Rylander's Omega Nanite. I know it's inside you.
:'''White Knight''': Status uptade?
:'''Six''': Still no fix on Rex. Scanners can't cut through the storm, so we're moving in to stage a recon.
:'''White Knight''': I will not risk everyone on board that ship for one agent. Not even that agent.
:''[Holiday subtly ends the call. Then to Six]''
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Whoops. Guess the satellite feed went down. Nasty sand.
:''[Six smirks]''
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Caesar? Wanted you to know we haven’t found him yet.
:'''Caesar''': Found who?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex.
:'''Caesar''': Right. Ah. Sorry. That was, uh, fifteen minutes ago. I've done about five hundred task since then. Try calibrating the keep's sensors to search for traces of Selenium. It's something Rex naturally gives off, like dandruff.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': I-- Really? Hmm. Okay, thanks.
:'''Van Kleiss''': So what you're saying is, the motor runs off of gravity and the only exhausts are atoms of selenium.
:'''Rex''': Now you. Squid Pro... Whatever. The nanites, the Event. What started all this?
:'''Van Kleiss''': He didn't tell you? I'm not surprised. It was Caesar.
:''[Rex pushes Van Kleiss to nearest wall and take out his BFS once again]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': Wasteful, Rex.
:'''Rex''': You're lying!
:'''Van Kleiss''': Hardly. Your brother is responsible for the most significant catastrophe in human history. You have to admit that as brilliant as Caesar is, he's... not quite right. Am I telling you something that you haven't already noticed?
:''[Rex groans]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex''': HAAAH!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Van Kleiss coughing]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': You seem to have awoken some sort of defense mechanism.
:'''Rex''': What are they defending? Rocks?
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': Before we're totally devoid of nanites, we need to end this now-- Together.
:'''Rex''': Back to back!
:'''Van Kleiss''': What?
:'''Rex''': Haven't you ever read a comic book? Back to back! No way. These markings-- They're not hieroglyphics. They're circuit boards. This whole cave, this valley-- It's one giant circuit board. These are data conduits-- Ms. Hubs!
:'''Van Kleiss''': You're right. These spirals are solid-state storage-- The standard design for a firewall in a CPU.
:'''Rex''': Did you just say I'm right? Now that I know what we're dealing with, it's a simple matter of-- Hacking in. This is malo-- Muy malo. Van Kleiss, meet the psycho computer who calls herself--
:'''Van Kleiss''': Zag-RS?
:'''Rex''': How do you know that? ''[Zag-RS notices them and attacks them]'' You know Zag-RS? How?
:'''Van Kleiss''': She was designed as a decontamination program at the original nanite laboratory. Her task was to destroy any rogue nanites that escaped from the holding tanks.
:'''Rex''': She did a great job. Whoever designed her should be taken out and beaten with a tendril.
:'''Van Kleiss''': Caesar designed her.
:'''Rex''': I'm gonna have to have a chat with my brother when this is over.
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': Focus, you fool. If we're to survive this, we have to use whatever nanites we have left to shut her down.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex''': No problemo! Ah, come on! Stay up! Show off!
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex''': Well, this bites.
:''[Rex straining]''
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex''': Didn't I leave you in orbit? Shouldn't you have burned up in re-entry or something?
:'''Zag-RS''': Re-entry resulted in a hard desert landing. This unit faced complete system failure. Salvation came from integration with the host space station power cell, where new initiatives were established.
:'''Rex''': Turning the world into a sandbox?
:'''Zag-RS''': Correct. The prevention of organic infection by elimination of organic matter and securing the Earth core system. Soon, this world will function without flaw.
:'''Rex''': Van Kleiss! Change of plan! While, I've got Zaggy occupied, you go and warn Providence before it's too late!
:'''Van Kleiss''': There's no time. Her strength is growing exponentially. To achieve victory, you must trust me.
:'''Rex''': Trust you?! That's comedy gold! Even if I was that big of a doof, neither one of us had enough power to fight back!
:'''Van Kleiss''': That's not entirely true.
:'''Rex''': Huh?
:'''Van Kleiss''': I've not been completely honest with you.
:'''Rex''': Stunned-- Really.
:'''Van Kleiss''': The Omega Nanite within you has a self-replicating program. You can create your own nanites.
:'''Rex''': What?! Why didn't you tell me!
:'''Van Kleiss''': A calculated emission.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex''': No way.
:'''Van Kleiss''': There-- That is the heart of Zag-RS. Strike while you can!
:'''Rex''': Oh, yeah! Now we're talking! Normally, I don't fight girls, but this time I'll make... A big... giant... robot exception!
:'''Dr. Holiday''': I found him, Six-- twenty kilometers northeast. There's a huge spike in trace selenium.
:'''Six''': Charge all weapons.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': The storm's starting to break. But please don't crash.
:'''Rex''': YAAAH!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex''': That's not fair! It worked in the movie!
:''[Rex whimpers]''
:''[Rex groaning]''
:'''Rex''': AAAH!
:'''Zag-RS''': You have miscalculated, human. The more nanites you replicate, the more energy you supply me. 7.5 seconds until I overtake your production.
:''[Van Kleiss grunts]''
:'''Zag-RS''': 4.3 seconds.
:'''Van Kleiss''': AAAAAAAAAH!
:'''Rex''': YAAAAAAH! One psycho robot down, one supervillain to chicken! Finally!
:'''Bobo''': What, you never heard the term "fashionably late"?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Your nanite-replicating function seems to be working well. Most of Zag-RS' alterations have been expunged.
:'''Rex''': Meaning... What?
:'''Bobo''': You ain't gonna wash away at high tide.
:'''Caesar''': This is my design.
:'''Rex''': Great-- My brother created Zag-RS.
:'''Caesar''': Evidently. Though her evolution into some sort of sentient nanite-slayer is most curious.
:'''Six''': Curious?
:'''Rex''': What about what Van Kleiss said?
:'''Caesar''': You mean I'm to blame for the original nanite event? Why don't we ask her? Wait! Interface protocols. Code designate Zag-RS. Respond.
:'''Zag-RS''': Dr. Salazar. Good morning. How may I assist you?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Stand down, gentlemen. Zag-RS has been successfully rebooted. But her memory has been wiped clean.
:'''Rex''': What? You got to be kidding me!
:'''Caesar''': That's interesting. Hmm. Van Kleiss must have implemented a program dump before he left you. It's the only logical conclusion.
:'''Rex''': Program dump?
:'''Van Kleiss''': Do not place your trust in Caesar. He's not the man you believe him to be.
:'''Rex''': Great. So now all we've got is a lame decontamination program with a GPS lady's voice?
:'''Caesar''': GPS lady? Hardly.
:'''Rex:''' I was making a joke.
:'''Caesar''': Don't you recognize it? When I programmed her, I wanted a voice that meant safety, protection, caring. Rex, this is our mother's voice.
:'''Rex''': ''[shocked]'' Mama?
===Night Falls===
: ''[Caesar's Pod Laboratory arrives at the town of Mexico City]''
: '''Rex:''' Are we there yet? ''[moving his legs and hugs his legs]'' All this futuristic technology and you never thought of adding a bathroom. ''[points at the monitor]'' City Hall! It must have a bathroom! Pull over-- Now! ''[Esteban writing some paperwork as the ground starts to rumble, He immediately ran outside looking at Caesar's research pod landing. The door opens and Rex finally made on solid ground.]'' Baño?
: ''[Esteban awkwardly points the bathroom]''
: ''[Rex runs]''
: ''[The elevator in Research pod went up and then down with Caesar]''
: '''Esteban:''' Caesar. ¿Eres tú?
: '''Caesar:''' ''[suspecting face]'' Esteban?
: '''Esteban:''' It's Mayor Esteban now.
: ''[Caesar laughs]''
: '''Caesar:''' Mayor? When you ran for class president, Maria Rodriguez got all the votes.
: '''Esteban:''' She was smarter and much better-looking. And I see you're still building your crazy contraptions. What brings you back to town?
: '''Caesar:''' To visit Abuela. It's a surprise.
: '''Esteban:''' You don't want to go there. It's not the same as you remember.
: ''[Rex righs]''
: '''Rex:''' ''[runs to the research pod]'' Okay, bro, let's go! ''[Rex went up to the lab]''
: ''[Esteban chuckling]''
: '''Esteban:''' ''[looking at Rex]'' Is that little Cabeza de Trapo?
: ''[Caesar laughs]''
: '''Caesar:''' I haven't thought of that for years. ''[Caesar went up to the lab]''
: '''Rex:''' What?
: '''Caesar:''' No es nada, mijo. We'd better get going.
: '''Esteban:''' At least stay in town tonight. You can head up to abuela's in the morning.
: '''Caesar:''' It's been over five years, Esteban. We're not waiting another minute.
: ''[Door closes and Research pods departs]''
: '''Rex:''' If she's not really our grandmother, why are you calling her "abuela"?
: '''Caesar:''' There may not be a biological connection, but she practically raised the entire town. When you were a boy, you spent every summer here.
: ''[Rex stops and feels incomplete]''
: '''Rex:''' I wish I could remember her. Or any of this.
: '''Caesar:''' I'm sure she'll be excited to see you. Just prepare yourself for a lot of sloppy grandma kisses.
: ''[Caesar pats Rex's hair and keeps on moving]''
: ''[Rex knocks at the door, The door opens by Abuela]'' Abuela, it's me-- Caesar.
: ''[The Salazar brothers show themselves while Caesar holds a Bouquet of flowers]''
: '''Abuela:''' Caesar! And is that my Cabeza de Trapo?
: '''Rex:''' Why is everyone calling me that?
: '''Abuela:''' What are you doing here?
: '''Caesar:''' We've come to visit. May we come in?
: '''Abuela:''' ''[Looks at the sky for a brief moment]'' No! ''[slams the door]''
: '''Rex:''' Maybe we should have called first.
: ''[The Salazar brothers spend the night in the Research pod with Caesar sleeping at the floor and Rex sleeping on the table. Unintentionally the computer sets thte alarm causing Rex to wake up a bit.]''
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex:''' Ten more minutes, Six. [''covers his ears with his pillow]''
: ''[Caesar opens the door and looks down, Seeing Abuela holding breakfast]''
: '''Abuela:''' Who wants breakfast?
: ''[Rex immediately wakes up]''
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Rex:''' Yo!
: ''[Rex drops off the table]''
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex:''' Ouch!
: ''[After a few minutes, Rex picks up his breakfast]''
: '''Caesar:''' Abuela always was the best cook.
: '''Abuela:''' I have missed my niños. ''[Puts her hand on Rex's shoulder]'' Rex, I have been following your work with Providence, and I always knew you would be a big important scientist.
: '''Rex:''' So, why did you slam the door on us last night?
: '''Abuela:''' Oh, that. You just caught me off guard. We weren't expecting visitors.
: '''Rex:''' I thought you always--
: '''Caesar:''' Enough with the questions, little brother.
: '''Abuela:''' Let me look at you.
: ''[Abuela grabs Rex's face]'
: '''Rex:''' Mmph!
: '''Abuela:''' I can't believe how you have grown. Come, see-- The rest of the family.
: '''Rex:''' Does everyone in town live here?
: ''[Caesar chuckles]''
: '''Caesar:''' I remember evenings here, laughing, telling stories. And the food! Rex, if you thought breakfast was good, wait and see what abuela makes for dinner.
: '''Abuela:''' It is an old building. There are always repairs.
: '''Federico:''' Rex!
: '''Rex:''' Huh?
: ''[Rex chuckles nervously]''
: '''Rex:''' Uh... What's up?
: '''Federico:''' It's me-- Federico. Have you forgotten the secret shake?
: '''Abuela:''' You and Federico were best friends when you were little.
: '''Caesar:''' Cabezas de trapo!
: '''Rex:''' Why do you keep calling me that?
: '''Caesar:''' You used to put underpants on your heads and act out Lucha Libre movies.
: '''Rex:''' Glad I don't remember that.
: '''Federico:''' Lucky you.
: '''Esteban:''' Abuela, I must speak to you.
: '''Abuela:''' Someone has forgotten his manners.
: '''Esteban:''' You can't just keep avoiding me. My phone has been ringing off the hook. The village is concerned about the recent activity.
: '''Abuela:''' Well, it shouldn't be. What goes on here is our own business.
: '''Esteban:''' Not when it leaves these walls. The situation is getting worse.
: '''Abuela:''' We've made the necessary corrections. It won't happen again.
: '''Esteban:''' You got one last chance to get out of town. Or I will evict you myself.
: '''Abuela:''' An old squabble. You don't need to worry.
: '''Caesar:''' What aren't you telling us, abuela?
: '''Abuela:''' Time to start making dinner.
: '''Rex:''' Dinner? We just had breakfast.
: ''[Caesar chuckles]''
: '''Caesar:''' Trust me. ''[Stands up with his glass]'' To family!
: '''Rex:''' Is it like this every night?
: '''Federico:''' Pretty much.
: ''[Rex chuckling]''
: ''[The kid kicks the ball high, Frederico stands up and catch the ball and dribbled. Rex was impress.]''
: '''Rex:''' Hey. You're pretty good. Everything about going pro?
: ''[Frederico drops the ball, awkward silence]''
: '''Federico:''' Not anymore.
: ''[Rex picks up the ball, kicks it. The ball lands on the table splashing the food all around, everyones laughting. The bell rings and everyone starts going away.]''
: '''Rex:''' Okay, maybe not my best move, but it wasn't that bad.
: '''Abuela:''' Come, children!
: ''[Caesar and Rex follows Abuela to their room]'' You'll sleep here.
: ''[Rex notices Frederico]''
: '''Federico:''' See you in the morning.
: ''[Frederico darkly walks into he's room. Rex enters in his. In the room Caesar's unpacking, Rex looks around. Suddently Abuela locks the door.]''
: '''Rex:''' ''[to Caesar]'' Did she just lock us in? :''[Rex tries to open the door, fails]'' She just locked us in!
: '''Caesar:''' We need to respect our elders. I'm sure she had her reasons. ''[Rex walks to window, Caesar's trying the new bed.]'' Ooh! Bed's pretty comfy. Good night!
: '''Rex:''' But-- but... It's only 6:30!
: ''[Night, suddently a roar is heard. Rex and Caesar wakes up.]''
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Rex:''' Sure, that's not weird, either!
: ''[Mayor's office, the phone start's ringing.Esteban picks up.]''
: '''Esteban:''' Bueno. I'm glad you cloud return my call. I understand you can help me with my EVO problem.
: ''[Salazar's room. Rex and Ceasar already dressed.]''
: '''Rex:''' Frederico? That's his room behind here!
: ''[Caesar grunts]''
: ''[Caesar pull's the door, they are still locked.]''
: '''Caesar:''' ''[to Rex]'' Can you break it down?
: '''Rex:''' How about respecting our elders?
: '''Caesar:''' Technically, I am your elder. Brake it down!
: '''Rex:''' I'll do one better! Hunh!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Forms Smack hands and punches trought the wall, making a hole that reveals Frederico's room.]''
: '''Rex:''' This place is just full of surprises. Okay, fur face, if you ate my friend--
: '''Caesar:''' Rex! Wait!
: '''Abuela:''' There has been a breach! Where is Rex?
: '''Caesar:''' I suspect halfway down the hill by now. Abuela--
: '''Abuela:''' I know.
: '''Rex:''' Whoa-- Unh!
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex:''' AAAAH! Whoa! Unh! UAAAAGH! This is for Federico!
: '''Abuela:''' Rex! No! That is Federico!
: '''Federico:''' Are those your hands? Genial. I got out again, didn't I?
: '''Rex:''' So, you're like a were-EVO?
: '''Caesar:''' Lux Lucius Mutatio. Interesting.
: '''Abuela:''' Come-- We've got to get back to the house.
: '''Esteban:''' I told you this would happen! You can't control them anymore!
: '''Rex:''' It wasn't her. It was me. I let them out. I didn't know.
: '''Esteban:''' All these EVOs!
: '''Abuela:''' They're just boys.
: '''Esteban:''' Look at the destruction your boys caused! The people are tired of living in fear! You'll be leaving today!
: '''Rex:''' I'm sorry, abuela. I had no idea. And now you have to leave because of me.
: '''Abuela:''' I'm not going anywhere!
: '''Federico:''' We turn at sundown and then back at sunrise. It only happens to some of us.
: '''Caesar:''' I took samples from all of the affected family members. Everyone shares the same genetic code-- something similar to hypotrichosis.
: '''Rex:''' Hyper, huh?
: '''Caesar:''' Werewolf syndrome. The nanites triggered the dormant gene.
: '''Federico:''' Can you cure it?
: '''Rex:''' I can try. Strange. I don't feel anything. Do you?
: '''Federico:''' Thanks anyway.
: '''Caesar:''' I'm seeing no active nanite tracers whatsoever.
: '''Rex:''' Well, maybe it's because he's not an EVO form.
: '''Federico:''' I just want a normal life again. I don't want to have to leave my home.
: '''Caesar:''' Maybe there's a way you can have both.
: '''Rex:''' Sorry about the wall. Why didn't you tell us?
: '''Abuela:''' Because I didn't want Providence to know.
: '''Rex:''' But Providence can help.
: '''Abuela:''' By taking those afflicted away? No. Every night when the bell pulls, those that have the change are locked away safely. For years it has been this way and no one has been hurt.
: '''Rex:''' But-- You're prisoners in your own home.
: '''Abuela:''' You may see it that way, niño. But at least we are a family.
: '''Federico:''' You know-- Even though we got busted today, it was kind of fun to get out.
: '''Rex:''' Don't you ever feel cooped up in here?
: '''Federico:''' There is one thing I missed. Go-o-o-o-al!
: '''Rex:''' Why did you stop playing if you love it so much?
: '''Federico:''' One day during practice, I stayed late so some scouts could see me play. Sun went down, and, well... They made me quit the league after that. Still haven't replaced the go box.
: ''[Federico chuckles]''
: '''Federico:''' Is that Providence?
: '''Rex:''' I don't know who it is.
: '''Federico:''' We should probably get back. It's almost evening bell.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Rex.
: '''Federico:''' That guy just shot my ball!
: '''Rex:''' Oh, this is just perfect. Hunter Cane he has a thing for hunting down EVOs I already put him away once.
: '''Federico:''' So, what's he doing here?
: '''Rex:''' Guessing your mayor called him.
: '''Federico:''' No, I mean did, he break out or something?
: '''Rex:''' Don't know. Don't care.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Why am I not surprised? This one of them?
: '''Rex:''' Bringing this guy here was a bad move.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' For them? And I get to settle an old score while I'm at it. Lucky me.
: '''Rex:''' No-- Lucky me!
: '''Federico:''' Rex, we've gotta go.
: '''Rex:''' You don't have to worry. This guy has nothing to sweat.
: '''Federico:''' Now!
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Well, what do we have here?
: ''[Hunter Cain grunts]''
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Esteban, my friend, I may not even charge you for this one.
: '''Rex:''' The mayor wasn't kidding. He sent an EVO hunter who likes to shoot first and skip the questions. We'll need every man, woman, and werewolf.
: '''Esteban:''' You were warned, abuela. You can live peacefully or we will bring you out.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' I didn't come here for conversation.
: '''Esteban:''' But you said it would just be a show of force. We run them out of town. No one gets hurt.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' I don't negotiate with EVOs or their families. If you don't like what you're about to see, you can head on down the hill.
: '''Rex:''' Why don't you join them, hunter?
: '''Hunter Cain:''' I never back down from a fight.
: '''Rex:''' Neither do I. You bring your magic EVO bullets, or is this going to be a real fight?
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Lucky for you, these are the old-fashioned kind. But they hurt just as bad.
: '''Rex:''' Yeah, that is kind of annoying.
: '''Caesar:''' Just hours ago, there wasn't any nanite activity. But now, it's like night and day.
: ''[Caesar laughs]''
: '''Caesar:''' That was my little pun. It seems the samples are reacting differently in the absence of sunlight. If I can only work out the photoreactive elements--
: '''Rex:''' I don't even think a cure will stop Hunter Cain. He'll never listen to reason.
: '''Caesar:''' I still gotta try. I think I can affect the change in the nanite programming during your nocturnal cycle. If I'm gonna cure this, I have to do it before sunrise.
: '''Rex:''' Not a Hunter gets to them first. I can keep doing this till you run out of ammo.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Fire on target!
: '''Rex:''' AAAAAAAH!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex:''' Note to self-- Don't give him any ideas. You have to let them out!
: '''Abuela:''' I made a promise to keep them safe from harm!
: '''Rex:''' Where they can't defend themselves? That's exactly what won't happen!
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Grandma, step aside.
: '''Abuela:''' I stand with my family.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Have it your way. I'll take all of you down.
: '''Abuela:''' You obviously haven't met my family.
: '''Rex:''' Can't believe we're not related. So, what was your big jail break? Nail pile and a cake? Exploding smoke bomb?
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Cold, hard cash. Not everyone at Providence is an EVO-lover.
: '''Caesar:''' Huh? Yes! Rex, we can reprogram the nanites to disregard the photoreactive coding of their DNA with a frequency-tuned pulse! That should allow you to cure them!
: '''Rex:''' Sounds great, but I've sort of got my hands full. Unh!
: '''Caesar:''' You mess with my brother, you mess with me.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Who are you? You an EVO?
: '''Caesar:''' No. I'm a scientist.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' AAAAH!
: '''Caesar:''' Your turn.
: '''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa-ho! Wait! I thought you said you had to zap their nanites.
: '''Caesar:''' In a manner of speaking. First, I zap you. Then, you have your nanites through do the rest.
: '''Rex:''' AAAH!
: '''Caesar:''' Too strong. I'll make an adjustment.
: '''Rex:''' Adjustment? How about you wait for me to say "okay" next time? You're still here?
: '''Hunter Cain:''' When I said I was out of the disintegrator ammo, I lied. One left, and it has your name on it.
: '''Rex:''' Federico, I'm not sure if you can understand me, but it might be time for the return of Las Cabezas de Trapo.
: '''Caesar:''' I think I've got the settings figured out.
: '''Rex:''' You think? AAAH!
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Caesar:''' That's more like it.
: '''Rex:''' ''[Woozily]'' Okay. Let's give it a try. I'm not trying to hurt you.
: '''Abuela:''' Federico, mi corazoncito. Let him try.
: '''Rex:''' Maybe we have to wait for a sunrise. We- We made it worse. Now we stuck that way!
: '''Federico:''' It isn't him-- It's me. I can control it now!
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Doesn't change a thing to me. He's still an EVO. I'm gonna finish the job I came here to do. I'll wipe out the whole compound if I have to.
: '''Abuela:''' There is no place for your kind of hatred here!
: '''Hunter Cain:''' You think I'm afraid of you?
: '''Rex:''' I think you should be.
: ''[Hunter Cain spits]''
: '''Rex:''' Hunter knows how to hold a grudge. He'll come back.
: '''Federico:''' And we'll be waiting.
: '''Rex:''' So, this mean you're gonna try out for the pros?
: '''Abuela:''' I think it's time we all go out and live our lives.
: '''Rex:''' La familia!
: '''Caesar:''' Cabezas de trapo!
===Hard Target===
: '''Rex:''' "It's Breach! She's-"
: '''Circe:''' "Messing with you, Rex. Did you actually see on her the other side?"
: '''Rex:''' "Well, no but...OK, why Hong Kong?"
: '''Circe:''' "Because it's on the other side of the world, because she's seriously messed up."
: '''Cricket:'''" Kind of like our place."
: '''Circe:''' "Trust me. She's back in Abysus laughing it off with the rest of the Pack. Besides, I'm not that easy to find."
: (''Removes the white towel to reveal her shoulder-length black hair partly dyed a deep plum and having donned a dark gray overall dress'')
: '''Rex:''' "OK, Rex. Bad intro. Take a do-over. Like the new look."
: '''Circe:''' "Wow. A compliment."
<hr width80%>
:'''Skywdd:''' "And that's when Circe goes all [[w:Siren (mythology)|siren]] and blasts the bus driver's pants clean off."
:'''Circe:''' "Lucky shot. Hit the exact frequency of polyester."
:'''Tuck:''' "Good thing his boxers were cotton."
:'''Rex''' (''uncomfortable'')''':''' "Good one. Uh, Circe, remember when you took down that sea monster in Cabo Luna?"
:'''Circe:''' "Please, Rex, I'd rather not remember that right now."
:'''Skywdd:''' Geez, Rex. Buzzkill."
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' "Stop it."
:'''Skywdd:''' "What's with him?"
:'''Circe:''' "Breach lag. Let clean over his bedtime."
:'''Rex:''' "That and my early morning snooze. By the way, you were right. Breach wasn't after you. She freed Quarry. Got this from the Providence security feed."
:'''Skywdd:''' "Quarry?"
:'''Tuck:''' "He's lose?"
:'''Cricket:''' "Oh no."
:'''Circe:''' "You saw Breach and came back ''here!'' What if she followed you!?"
:'''Rex:''' "Don't worry. If Breach were here, I'd feel it. She's here."
<hr width80%>
: '''Breach:''' "Hey, girlfriend."
: '''Circe:''' "Get out of here, Breach!"
: '''Breach:''' "But Van Kleiss has so been wanting to chat."
: '''Circe:''' "Then deliver a message for him! "
: (''Uses her ultrasonic bursts on Breach, who creates a portal behind her, knocking her out with her own sonic abilities)''
: '''Rex:''' "Let her go, Breach!!"
: '''Breach:''' "Oh, sorry, Rex. She's gonna save my skin. V.K.'s tough on failure, remember?"
: (''Teleports away with an unconscious Circe on her shoulder'')
: '''Rex:''' "NO!!"
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' "Hold that thought. You can come out now. I got that creeped out feeling."
:'''Breach:''' "Peek a boo."
: '''Skwydd:''' "It's her!'' She took Circe."
: '''Rex:''' But not to Van Kleiss. You never went to Abysus, did you? You slipped her into your little pocket dimension. Let her go, Breach!
: '''Breach:''' And I agree to that...why?
: '''Rex:''' "Because you wouldn't want Van Kleiss to see this. I'm thinking a trade is in order."
: (''Breach releases Circe, who is caught by Skwydd'')
: '''Circe:''' "I hate you, Breach."
===A Family Holiday===
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' The pace of study has been staggeringly slow. There have been no significant advancements in nanite research since the original event. Simply put, Providence is not doing enough. What is required is not a military response, but a serious, thoughtful reaction, a scientific answer. The poor and afflicted deserve more. The world, deserves more. Let me introduce Diane. Mother of three. Diane has been diagnosed as incurable, a lost cause. Since then, she's been treated like an animal, locked away from her family... No hope on the horizon. Until now. At Moses Labs, we don't rely on tanks, guns, or secret weapons-- Only an unwavering belief that whatever science breaks, science can fix. Welcome back, Diane.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Happy birthday, little sister.
:'''Rex:''' Hope that I paid the bills. This is going to be expensive.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Caesar:''' Release the hounds.
:''[a door opens revealing some Evo hounds]''
:'''Rex:''' Huh? Whoa!
:'''Bobo Haha:''' Heh! I thought that was just a figure of speech. You're a sick puppy.
:'''Rex:''' Aah! Not cool, bro!
:''[Rex panting]''
:'''Rex:''' ''[Spanish accent]'' Agua, por favor.
:'''Caesar:''' Water second, probes first.
:'''Rex:''' No offense, but being a guinea pig is a lot less fun when it's you instead of Holiday.
:'''Caesar:''' Don't I run the biometric tests with the same efficiency?
:'''Rex:''' How are we related? Have you looked at Holiday?
:'''Bobo Haha:''' She ain't my species and even I know she's a hottie.
:'''Caesar:''' She is... very smart.
:'''Rex:''' Where is the Doc anyway? She usually can't wait to get her hands on me.
:'''Bobo Haha:''' Saw her this morning, looking pretty grim.
:'''Agent Six:''' It's her sister. Her sister's birthday to be precise. Holiday gets introspective this time of year.
:'''Caesar:''' Her sister? Oh, is she smart too?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hey guys. Can't talk. Hangar!
:'''Bobo Haha:''' Ah, human dames. I don't know how you guys keep up.
:''[Dr. Holiday pants]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Thank you for coming, Dr. Moses. It's a genuine honor.
:'''Rex:''' Who the heck is that guy? Why is Holiday acting all fangirl around him?
:'''Caesar:''' It's Dr. Brandon Moses, the leading researcher in technogenic transmorphing! If anyone's going to develop a kill for EVOs, it's going to be him!
:'''Bobo Haha:''' Now, that's actin' fan-girl.
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Not the worst I've seen.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Can you help her?
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Beverly would be an excellent candidate for my treatments. Have her transported to my facility.
:'''Rex:''' Hold up! I know you have a bunch of letters after your name, but curing EVOs is what I do. Some of them--
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Some you just can't handle, Rex. Dr. Moses' research goes to places you don't, so if you don't mind-- 10 minutes, then we'll be in the air. Thank you, doctor. I've earned 5 years' worth of personal time, Knight. I plan to use it all.
:'''White Knight:''' I don't like it, but I like your sister even less. Go for your "cure", Holiday. But if it doesn't work, don't bring her back.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Agent Six:''' What do you really know about Dr. Moses?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I know what I saw.
:'''Agent Six:''' You're not taking her to the doctor for a checkup. Has he handed you supporting data?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Why won't you let me have this? It's the first glimmer of hope I've had since Rex got here.
:'''Agent Six''': I think you've lost your objectivity. If you can't help her--
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' That's the point! I can't! I need this cure. If you won't help me, stay out of my way!
:'''Rex:''' Any chance she's right?
:'''Agent Six:''' Hope she is.
:'''Rex:''' But we're not going to sit around and do nothing in case she's wrong, right? Today you're my sidekick-- Not a fashion-challenged soccer mom blocking my mojo. If there's any chance of playing hero for Holiday, I call dibs.
:'''Security guard:''' Dr. Moses' inventions are not for public viewing-- Especially not by Providence.
:''[Security guard grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' That "soccer mom" comment really got to you, huh? When did science geeks start packing heat? Huh?
:'''Agent Six:''' Check the machine.
:'''Rex:''' I'm no engineer, but as far as I can tell, all this thing does is light up and go "ping". They never cured it! This was a scam!
:'''Agent Six:''' Holiday's in trouble. Holiday, Moses is a fraud. There is no cure!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' What's going on here? Moses, what is this?
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Business, Dr. Holiday-- Big business. Now, if you wouldn't mind stepping aside so I can collect your sister--
:'''Agent Six:''' Holiday?! What's happening?!
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Or don't step aside. I'm good either way.
:'''Agent Six:''' Holiday! We've got our coordinates. Go!
:'''Rex:''' It's a hundred miles away!
:'''Agent Six:''' Correct.
:'''Rex:''' Hold on to your swords, old man!
:''[Dr. Holiday grunts]:''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I trusted you!
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' A bad trait, a scientist. But look on the bright side-- You won't be locked in a cell anymore. That was just... Shameful.
:'''Rex:''' Be the hero. Be the hero. Be the--
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' ...Zero. You'll be a lot less grouchy in a few seconds, pal. Half cured? That's new.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' They've got Beverly.
:'''Rex:''' You wanna talk to her?
:'''Agent Six:''' Now's not the time.
:'''Rex:''' And when exactly is. She needs a friend, Six.
:'''Agent Six:''' I... prefer to keep it professional. Keeps people from getting hurt.
:'''Rex:''' Dude. Take off the sunglasses. She's already hurting. If I were you--
:''[Six gets a radio signal]''
:'''Agent Six:''' If you were me, you'd have a lead. Get Holiday. Dust off in 3.
:'''Rex:''' Where are we going?
:'''Agent Six:''' Moses may be a genius but not because he can cure EVOs. He overpowers them-- Hypercharges the nanites with excess energy to push their transformations.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' That's why Rex only partially cured that EVO he stripped the EVO of its extra power. But at its core, it was still incurable.
:'''Rex:''' We learned something new today. Great.
:'''Agent Six:''' Gets worse. Moses has turned his tech into a cottage industry. He takes incurables and weaponizes them to sell to the highest bidder.
:'''Rex:''' Don't sugarcoat it, Six.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' How did you find this out?
:'''Agent Six:''' I called some former associates-- People who know things, things that good people shouldn't know about.
:'''White Knight:''' Question-- Why is my keep on an unapproved mission?
:'''Rex:''' It's cool, Knight. We're helping Holiday.
:'''White Knight:''' No! We had a deal! Return to base immediately!
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's over guys. I can't drag you down because of my mistake. I won't.
:'''Agent Six:''' Keep returning to base.
:''[Knight ends the transmission]''
:'''Agent Six:''' I said the keep is returning to base. I didn't say we'd be on the keep.
:'''Rex:''' You okay?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hanging in there.
:'''Rex:''' Hanging in there is good. I don't like to see you unhappy, you know. I-I mean--
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I know what you mean. Thanks.
:'''Agent Six:''' Better luck next time.
:''[Rex gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' Jealous much, sidekick?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Who is that?
:'''Rex:''' Someone who knows things good people shouldn't.
:'''Five:''' Machine boy! Like the new ax? You owe me for the last one.
:'''Agent Six:''' We'll talk music later, Five. You have word on Moses?
:'''Five:''' Five don't lie. Your guy is running an auction-- Tonight.
:'''Agent Six:''' I owe you.
:'''Five:''' She's a lot more beautiful than you let on, Six. Try not to screw it up this time.
:'''Agent Six:''' You coming?
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' The EVO is the military ordinance of the future. We all know it. You drop one of these babies into your neighbor's backyard, and it's game over. But to get the most annihilation out of your nanites... you need me.
:'''Human EVO:''' You promised to cure!
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' My technology not only amps up their abilities, but, for an extra charge, will modify their behavior to suit your needs. What am I bid for this army of one?
:'''Agent Six:''' ''[Bursting in]'' I'll open with extradition for crimes against humanity!
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' ''[to his bidders]'' Wait! This is just a minor disturbance.
:''[Moses groans]''
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' ''[to Holiday]'' Do you know what you just cost me, all for one hopless wreck?!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Holiday hits Moses]'' Her name is Beverly.
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Then give sissy a hug.
:'''Dr Holiday:''' No! Don't hurt her, Rex!
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, sure. Handle with care. Whoa! Can you tell her that, too?
:'''Agent Six:''' Going nowhere?
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Uh, let's not be ''[chuckling]'' rash.
:''[Holiday slaps Moses]''
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' I'm gonna have to get you a dictionary. Rash will not help anyone, especially not Beverly.
:''[Holiday grabs Moses]''
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Who can still be cured.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Holiday drops Moses]'' What?
:'''Agent Six:''' ''[Brandishing his swords]'' No games. Truth or dead.
:'''Rex:''' Fight still going! Need assistance! Big time! Whoa!
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' I did invent a machine that de-powered nanites, almost. But the bonds and nanite particles were too strong to break. Instead, I discovered that I could reverse the polarity to its maximum, overpowering the nanites. It's easier and-- Profitable.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' But you did isolate the bonds? So, you can break them!
:'''Agent Six:''' Holiday!
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! Ugh! Unh! Okay, I called hero, but I need some extra kick for my sidekick! Unh! Seriously!
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Time to earn a return on my investments! Kill them all!
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa!
:'''White Knight:''' I won't even bother telling you the trouble you're in. Catch those other EVOs and report to my office the moment you're back.
:'''Rex:''' What other EVO-O-O-O-Os?
:''[Rex turns around and notices the EVOs behind him]''
:'''Rex:''' Ooos?
:'''Rex:''' Think they got it?
:'''Agent Six:''' They'd better. We're busy.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Unh! Okay. That's the flux transponder. That's the nanite energizer. Don't you explode on me-- Not now. Aah!
:'''Rex:''' I'll hand the one crazed sister. You take the other. It'll be like a double date. Don't bother... your sister... while she's working!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I can see what he did, but... uh... there's no time! I can't-- I can't help her! It's over.
:'''Agent Six:''' Holiday-- Rebecca-- You are the strongest, smartest woman I have ever met, and the most stubborn.
:''[Six removes his glasses and looks her in the eyes]''
:'''Agent Six:''' You never give up. If there's a way to help your sister, find it-- now!
:''[Slight pause. Holiday smiles and puts Six's glasses back on his face then leaves]''
:'''Agent Six:''' That's my girl. New plan. Corral her to the machine.
:'''Rex:''' Plans are good! Yah! What you got, Doc?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Moses was right. The polarity of the nanite energizer is wrong! I have to amplify and reverse it. But I don't have-- Six... Your magna blades-- But it would be too dangerous. Six!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six!
:'''Agent Six:''' Is it working?
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's working.
:'''Rex:''' Six, get out of there!
:'''Agent Six:''' You called hero on this one, Rex! Finish it-- For her! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Unh! Get them out, Rex-- Both of them-- Now!
:''[Dr. Holiday gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' Doc! You gotta see this!
:''[Dr. Holiday panting]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[as she's trying to revive Six]'' Don't you do this to me! I will hate you forever if you--
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:''[Six coughs]''
:'''Beverly:''' Rebecca?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Beverly!
:'''Rex:''' That was... I'm... Wow! Six, I've never said it before and I'll probably never say it again, but... I'm honored to be your partner.
:'''Bobo Haha:''' Mushy stuff? Oh! Glad I missed it.
:'''Rex:''' But don't ever do anything like that again.
:'''Agent Six:''' Agreed. But you have to admit though... It was worth it.
:''[Dr. Holiday and Beverly laughs]''
:'''White Knight:''' We're not running a boarding house here. No more relatives.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I just need her for a few more tests, sir. She was only 13 when she went Evo, and she's in a fragile state.
:'''Beverly:''' Woo Hoo!
:''[Beverly laughing]''
:'''Beverly:''' Rex just took me on a ride through the Zoo on his cycle.
:'''White Knight:''' "Fragile." Right.
:'''Rex:''' We're going to the mall.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Are you asking permission?
:'''Rex:''' No. I'm asking if we can have some money. Providence pays me nada.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Can I have a word with you?
:'''Agent Six:''' Sure this is a good idea? Could ruin your hero status with Holiday.
:'''Rex:''' It's funny. After meeting Bev, out of nowhere, it hit me that Doc Holiday is just a little too old for me. So, since I'm out of the way, I guess there's nothing stopping you anymore, huh, "hero"?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Well... right. I guess... I'll set up those tests.
:''[Holiday starts to walk past Six. Six takes a hold of her hand]''
:'''Agent Six:''' Or... we could get some dinner.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Outside? In the real world? Like real people? Like a--
:'''Agent Six:''' Yes. Like a date.
:''[Dr. Holiday gasps]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's about time.

:'''White Knight''': All Providence personnel, this is a priority-one alert.
:'''Agent Six''': Do not panic. Remember your training.
:'''White Knight''': In all my years of working at Providence, never have I been put in such a situation. These interlopes could be anywhere at any given moment.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Hey, what's all the-- Whoa! Sorry. We're late.
:'''Bobo Haha''': You can't prove a thing!
:'''White Knight''': Watch what you say. Watch what you do. The very future of Providence may depend upon it.
:'''Rex Salazar''': So, what's going on? Van Kleiss attack in the HQ again?
:'''Agent Six''': Worse.
:'''Diane Farrah:''' I'm Diane Farrah, and for the first time ever, we've got an exclusive all-access pass inside the top-secret organization known as Providence. To uncover for our viewers, all the juiciest behind-the-scenes details of this most secret of institutions. And to find out the real story behind that man of mystery you've all wondered about for so long.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Aah.
:'''Diane Farrah''': All your questions are about to be answered. Welcome to Providence Exposed! ''[Camera closes-up on her face]'' On Ultimate Exposure! And cut. Great into, guys. Okay, moving on.
:'''Rex Salazar''': This is cool.
:'''Agent Six''': This is wrong.
:'''Rex Salazar''': How's my hair?
:'''Bobo Haha''': Delicious.
:'''White Knight''': Ladies and gentlemen, the delightful Miss Farrah and her crew have used the Freedom of Information Act to force.
:''[White Knight clears his throat]''
:'''White Knight''': To allow them access to a day in the life of Providence. And to ensure you are afforded the very best Providence has to offer, I'm assigning our top man as your personal guide.
:''[Rex moves towards the news team]''
:'''White Knight''': Six, please show Miss Farrah whatever she wants to see.
:'''Agent Six''': Agent Six is the name. On behalf of Providence, I'd like to welcome you to our facility.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Spare me the small talk. I'm here to ask the tough questions, and I expect truthful answers.
:'''Agent Six''': Shoot.
:'''Diane Farrah''': So.. is there a Mrs. Six?
:''[Combs her hair]''
:'''Bobo Haha''': Smooth.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Like you'd have done better.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Are you kidding? They want exposed. I'm going to give that reporter a piece of my mind and a few other pieces while I'm at it. I got stories that'll make them run screaming for the hills.
:''[Bobo Haha laughs]''
:'''Agent Six''': If you'll follow me, I'll be happy to show you one of our nanite research labs up close and personal. EVO control is our primary area of concentration, but Providence is focused on a great many studies. Each employing the best and the brightest our planet has to offer.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Thanks, Six. You know, this is my brother's lab. He's only like the smartest guy in the entire world. Yeah, being the best at what we do totally runs in our family.
:'''Caesar Salazar''': Not a good time.
:'''Agent Six''': That experiment is highly sensitive.
:'''Diane Farrah''': So, Agent Six, how did you become a Providence agent?
:'''Agent Six''': That's also highly sensitive.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Amazing story though about how I became a Providence agent. See, there was this big accident.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Good morning. My name is Dr. Rebecca Holiday, And I'm the chief research officer for the Providence Laboratory Facilities - specializing in the study of evology. Providence's number one priority is the security of our planet. And through the studying and understanding the forces that threaten us--
:'''Diane Farrah''': Let's cut to the chase, shall we, doctor?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Oh, um, okay.
:'''Diane Farrah''': How do you balance the threat of EVOs, the constant danger... with being a woman?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Uh.
:''[Dr. Holiday laughs nervously]''
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Oh, excuse me.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Speaking of studying, check this out. You can edit that, right?
:'''Diane Farrah''': We're all about the editing.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, maybe you could show these journalists some of your other duties, like what you're supposed to be doing right now, for instance.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, man. That's right. Come on. You're going to love this.
:'''Diane Farrah''': EVOs come from far and wide for a chance to be cured by this young man. How often do you do this?
:'''Rex Salazar''': At least once a week here at HQ. When I'm in other parts of the county or the world, Providence sets up a mobile cure station. There are a lot of people out there who need my help. I only wish I could get to them all. Wait. Um, let my try again. ''[after Rex can't cure an EVO]'' Shut it off.
:'''Diane Farrah''': But this is really good drama, Rex.
:'''Rex Salazar''': I asked to be on TV. They didn't. Please give these people their privacy.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Come on, buddy. Everybody has an off day.
:'''Rex Salazar''': In front of millions of viewers? So much for everyone's favorite Providence man of mystery.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Well, they're just lucky they haven't had the camera on me yet. Oh man, talk about Ultimate Exposure. When I get through with them--
:'''Rex Salazar''': I just wish I could look cool on camera somehow.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Phbt! Good luck. The only way that's going to happen now is if some experimental EVOs busted out of their cages and went on a rampage so you could round them up and look like a hero.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Providence isn't known for being forthcoming with information. I hope this interview will change that. The people want answers and I fully expect them from you.
:'''White Knight''': Very well. What do you want to know?
:'''Diane Farrah''': For starters, how do you get fresh milk without any nanites in it?
:'''White Knight''': If you must know, it's passed through a powerful magnet that removes and neutralizes any nanite activity.
:'''Agent Six''': Observe.
:''[White Knight smacks lips]''
:'''White Knight''': Anything else?
:'''Diane Farrah''': Not at the moment, but I'll be back.
:'''White Knight''': I look forward to it.
:''[White Knight sips]''
:'''Diane Farrah''': So, Agent Six, what do you think about White Knight's obsession with staying nanite-free at the expense of human contact?
:'''Agent Six''': He's a man of many mysteries.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Look out! Coming through! Dangerous escaped EVOs on the loose! Stand back! Let a professional handle this!
:'''Diane Farrah''': Follow him.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Yeah, I'm kind of awesome.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Did you get them all?
:'''Rex Salazar''': How many did you release?
:'''Bobo Haha''': I don't know, three or four.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Well, which was it? Three or four?
:''[Rex Salazar gasps]''
:'''Agent Six''': Well then. Now that Rex's little demonstration is over, how about a visit to the Providence gift shop? On me.
:'''Diane Farrah''': How long has Providence had a gift shop?
:'''Agent Six''': Since 8:00 A.M. You want to tell me how a class by EVO got out of its electromagnetically-sealed container and just happened to cross paths with our tour?
:'''Rex Salazar''': It's not like this kind of thing doesn't happen here all the time. I just wanted it to happen this time, in front of the camera, all right?
:'''Agent Six''': Not all right. That last EVO-- You just helped it molt so it could grow. Its body is still out there somewhere, getting bigger.
:'''White Knight''': Providence is run like a finely tuned machine. Until you decide to throw a monkey wrench into the works.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Hey, pal, let's leave the comedy to me.
:'''White Knight''': And how is it exactly that these EVOs got out?
:'''Bobo Haha''': Okay, Mea Culpa. I may have accidentally knocked open a cage or two-- Or four.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': That fourth cage was electromagnetically sealed.
:'''Bobo Haha''': I didn't say it was easy.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': The EVO we had contained in there feeds on electricity. It must be kept away from any electrical current.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Then it sure is a good thing this whole place isn't full of electricity. Oh, wait.
:'''White Knight''': Find it. Subdue it. And most importantly, don't let that camera crew see it.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Eh, were wastin' time hunting this thing down when I could be on camera right now, giving those people a piece of my mind.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Hey, I only saw the EVOs empty husk before. What's the real thing look like anyway? Huh?
:'''Bobo Haha''': That.
:''[Rex Salazar grunts]''
:''[Rex Salazar grunting]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Any suggestions?
:'''Bobo Haha''': Can you make a soccer net?
:''[Rex Salazar and Bobo Haha grunts]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Aha! Got you cornered now. There's no way out. You're overpowered.
:'''Bobo Haha''': You were saying?
:'''Agent Six''': You wanted to interview me. Now's your chance. Go.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Um... okay. Tell me, Six-- May I call you Six?-- What is the real truth behind the nanite event that created the EVOs?
:'''Agent Six''': That's classified.
:'''Diane Farrah''': What is your role, if any, in that event?
:'''Agent Six''': That's classified, too.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Are you always this talkative?
:'''Agent Six''': No comment.
:''[Rex Salazar grunts]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Wait. Let me do that again. You didn't get my good side. Which is my good side?
:'''Bobo Haha''': Your backside.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Agent Six, you promised you were taking us to the heart of the operation.
:'''Agent Six''': Right. The heart of the operation. This way.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': [Watching from a monitor] It went right.
:''[Rex goes to his right. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Camera right!
:''[Rex goes to the camera's right]''
:'''Dr. Holiday''': How can you miss it now? It's six feet in diameter and weighs five hundred pounds!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Less criticizing, more helping!
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Try to steer it in the direction of Hallway twelve. We can isolate it in the atrium.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, we've got it contained there now.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': No, sorry. I was reading that backwards. Hallway twenty one.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, Hallway twenty one leads to the central core!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, so, no big deal. That's a cold-fission reactor, not electric, right?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, all electricity is converted from something-- Wind, solar, hydro-- At the central core!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Ohh.
:''[Providence Agent screams]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Uh-hoh.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, listen carefully and do exactly as I say because we're only going to get one shot at this.
:'''Diane Farrah''': One shot at what, doctor?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': The... future. Providence is the future. The future used to be the space program. Now the future is Providence and the science of EVOs.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Doc? Are you still there? We have a situation.
:'''Agent Six''': Just a minor downgrade of power during a routine relay check. Nothing to worry about.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Guys, I could really use some advice right about now!
:''[Rex Salazar grunts]''
:'''White Knight''': Attention all Providence Personnel, we have a Level-One Priority...
:''[Realizes the reporters are present]''
:'''White Knight''': Drill. Repeat-- This is our daily drill in the Central Core-- Now.
:'''Agent Six''': Lunch bell. It's taco day. Anyone hungry?
:'''Diane Farrah''': Agent Six, while we appreciate the commemorative spoons and the tacos, I can't help but think that you've been hiding something from our viewers.
:'''Agent Six''': Not at all, ma'am. Providence is an open book.
:''[Rex Salazar screams]''
:'''Diane Farrah''': Cut! You're ruining the shot, Rex. Just be patient. I will get to you-- I promise.
:''[Rex Salazar groans]''
:'''Agent Six''': Get down.
:''[Diane Farrah gasps]''
:'''Diane Farrah''': That was... what you did.
:'''Agent Six''': Just doing my job, ma'am.
:'''Rex Salazar''': And I'm just doing mine!
:''[Rex Salazar grunts]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': You're not going anywhere now, buddy, except back to your-- Cage?
:'''White Knight''': We hope that you and the Ultimate Exposure team are enjoying our EVO containment demonstration, Miss Farrah. All part of readiness training here at Providence.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Can I quote you on that?
:'''White Knight''': Miss Farah, I'm not gonna stop you from filming, but for your own safety and the safety of your crew, please step back and let my people do what they do best. Alpha Team, I need a containment of the cafeteria, cube formation. Fire! Rex.
:'''Rex Salazar''': I'm on it.
:'''Agent Six''': Stay here. This is the real deal.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Not on your life. Find an elevator. We're missing it.
:'''Caesar Salazar''': Still not a good ti-i-i-i-i-me!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, big boy. No more crawl spaces. No more Hallways. Just you and me in a big, old hangar bay mano y mano.
:''[Rex Salazar grunts]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Huh?
:'''Bobo Haha''': ''[after Rex has been repeatedly beaten back by the Evo]'' Looks like you showed him.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Are you going to talk, or are you going to help?
:'''Bobo Haha''': Talk. Kidding! I'm helping! I'm helping!
:''[Rex Salazar grunts]''
:''[Rex Salazar groaning]''
:''[Rex Salazar groaning]''
:''[Rex Salazar sighs]''
:''[Rex Salazar groaning]''
:'''Diane Farrah''': Please tell me you're getting all of this.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Providence's man of mystery strikes again. Ow! It-- it bit me!
:'''Diane Farrah''': Quick, grab some B-roll footage before they get rid of all the evidence.
:'''Rex Salazar''': You did see that I did all the heavy lifting and Six just took out the trash, right?
:'''Diane Farah''': Don't worry. The camera never lies.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Yes!
:'''Bobo Haha''': Good! Then get a load of this!
:'''Diane Farah''': Do you have something to say?
:''[Camera zooms in on Bobo]''
:'''Bobo Haha''': Oh... oh.
:''[Bobo mutters then passes out]''
:'''Diane Farrah''': I think we have everything we need.
:'''Rex Salazar''': I don't know how you guys came off looking, but yours truly rocked hard. Just call me Providence's Man of Mystery from now on. Oh, yeah! Stardom starts in five, four, three, two--
:'''Diane Farrah''': I'm Diane Farrah, and for the first time ever, we've got an exclusive all-access pass inside the top-secret organization known as Providence. To uncover for our viewers, all the juiciest behind-the-scenes details of this most secret of institutions.
:'''Rex Salazar''': We are so dead.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Nice knowing you, kid.
:'''Diane Farrah''': To find out the real story behind that man of mystery you've all wondered about for so long.
:'''Agent Six''': Agent Six is the name.
:'''Rex Salazar''': They did it.
:'''Bobo Haha''': They did.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': This is a news show? What is the world coming to?
:'''Diane Farrah''': Look out, ladies. Agent Six is the full package -- brains, brawn, and--
:'''Agent Six''': Highly sensitive.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Just what is he hiding behind those alluring, dark glasses of his?
:'''Agent Six''': That's classified.
:'''Diane Farrah''': He's the Providence agent you women wanted to get to know.
:'''Agent Six''': Up close and personal.
:'''Diane Farrah''': That's right, girls.
:'''Agent Six''': He's The real deal.
:'''Diane Farrah''': And he's known throughout Providence as--
:'''Agent Six''': The heart of the operation.
:'''Diane Farrah''': He's the organization's best-kept secret, the ultimate agent, and--
:'''Agent Six''': The man of many mysteries.
:'''Diane Farrah''': And, yes, ladies, he is single -- or is he?
:''[Dr. Holiday laughs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Excuse me.
:'''Agent Six''': No comment.
:''[Rex and Bobo Haha laughs]''
:'''White Knight''': Well, that's a relief.
:'''Rex Salazar''': ''[after the story airs]'' So, man of mystery, what's it like being a big star adored by women everywhere?
:'''Agent Six''': No comment.

:''[Providence agents are standing in an industrial area, fingers on triggers. Rex flies in on jet pack and lands beside all the agents.]''
:'''Rex:''' Any sign? ''[Rex notices agents shaking in fear.]'' Alright then, who’s up for a burger, anyone? Tough crowd.
:''[Six walks up.]''
:'''Six:''' These agents seem nervous. Haven’t they dealt with this situation before?
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, that's kind of the problem.
:''[Rex twitches, as if he is feeling Breach's presence.]''
:'''Providence Agent:''' Here she comes.
:''[Breach appears in front of them. They fire at her. She sends their missiles and agents away with red portals.]''
:'''Six:''' How do we stop her?
:'''Rex:''' ''[Smack Hands.]'' Hit hard and keep clear of anything that glows.
:''[Breach has a collar around her neck like the one Van Kleiss wears, and a device on her chest like his only much larger and shackles are around her giant hands which look like Van Kleiss's bio-mechanical wrist. She opens a red portal. A giant jellyfish-like thing flies out at Six, then a large creature with a horn on its nose runs out. Rex jumps at Breach, she portals out, returns and the device on her chest starts sparking.]''
:'''Rex:''' What's with the new toy, Breach?
:'''Breach:''' ''[Glares]'' Wouldn’t you like to know?
:''[T-Rex appears through a gold colored portal, sniffs Rex.]''
:'''Rex:''' Seriously, where do you find these things? Let's see what you started out as, big guy. ''[Tries to cure.] Six? This... this isn't an EVO!'' It's an actual T-Rex! ...Six?
:''[Rex runs from T-Rex.]''
:'''Breach:''' Have fun. ''[Leaves through red portal.]''
:''[Rex hides behind light pole, T-Rex pulls pole from ground, Rex falls to the ground.]''
:'''Six:''' I take it this sort of thing doesn't happen all the time?
:'''Rex:''' Try never? This is all kinds of wrong.
:''[Rex makes BFS, runs at T-Rex; Six runs at T-Rex, jumps on and stabs it in back.]''
:'''Holiday:''' Is that what I think it is?
:'''Six:''' You mean about to be extinct?
:'''Holiday:''' If you destroy the scientific find of a lifetime, it won’t be the only thing.
:'''Rex:''' It's trying to eat us.
:'''Six:''' You heard the lady. Take it down soft.
:'''Rex:''' Easy for you to say.
:''[Rex lies on the ground holding the jaws open with Smack Hands and it slobbers on him.]''
:''[Scene change.]''
:''[Video of T-Rex in confinement field. The T-Rex turns to dust.]''
:'''White Knight:''' Breach is powerful enough as it is, and now you're telling me she can travel through time?
:'''Holiday:''' However she's doing it, I haven't worked out all the kinks yet. That dinosaur reverted to its actual age about less than two hours after arrival.
:'''Caesar:''' Photo and deep scan analysis reveals some very interesting technology at work here. Van Kleiss has really stepped up his game.
:'''White Knight:''' Skip the fan talk. How do we stop it?
:'''Caesar:''' Until I get my hands on the device, I'm not certain we can.
:'''White Knight:''' We have to bring her to our side.
:'''Rex:''' The only way she's coming here is if she does it willingly.
:'''White Knight:''' How do you propose we persuade her?
:'''Rex:''' With me. ''[Six and Holiday stare at him skeptically.]'' I can be very convincing. Okay, okay. I think she might still have a thing for me.
:'''Bobo:''' Atta boy, work it on the crazy chick.
:'''White Knight:''' I don't care how we do it as long as we get results. Providence is under the microscope. It is the worst time for Van Kleiss to gain the upper hand. Get to it. Bring her in.
:''[Six and Holiday walking out of the room together down the hall.]''
:'''Six:''' ''[To Holiday.]'' I need a word. Something's wrong with White.
:'''Holiday:''' Oh. That. He’s always like this, Six.
:'''Six:''' No. This is different. I know when something is bothering him. The secret meetings, the anxiety. He’s up to something.
:'''Holiday:''' I'll see what I can find out.
:''[Scene change.]''
:''[Rex on hoverboard, in Providence stealth suit.]''
:'''Rex:''' WHOO-HOO! Works pretty good. After all, I built it. ''[Loses control of board for a moment.]''
:''[Scene change.]''
:''[Van Kleiss's castle, Rex hiding by entrance.]''
:'''Rex:''' Going in. ''[Pulls up stealth mask, disappears partly, runs past guard.]''
:''[Scene change.]''
:''[Breach is hooked up to a large machine. Van Kleiss stands before her with a huge bank of controls and displays, spooky dark lighting. She screams.]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' This is unacceptable, Breach. I need you to concentrate.
:'''Breach:''' It hurts.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Think of what I'm trying to achieve here. I cannot fail.
:''[Breach screams in agony and collapses.]''
:''[Rex looks down horrified, Van Kleiss grins, Breach screams and falls down.]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I'll return when it recharges and we'll start again.
:''[Rex holds his hand out to her.]''
:'''Rex:''' Why do you let him do this to you?
:'''Breach:''' Glory.
:'''Rex:''' Van Kleiss's glory. Is he even noticing how you're tearing yourself apart for him? Have you ever heard him say thank you? What do you say we blow this joint, you and me? He's hurting you.
:'''Breach:''' It's not real. It can't hurt you if it isn't real.
:'''Rex:''' Breach, look at me. It is. I'm real, all of this is real. You don't have to live this way.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Why am I not surprised. Rex has come to rescue another of my lost sheep. Perhaps he'll try to save you next, Biowulf.
:'''Rex:''' That depends. Is he housebroken yet?
:'''Biowulf:''' I am no traitor.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You’ve no doubt seen our little experiment. Breach shows great promise. She just needs a little fine tuning.
:'''Rex:''' Then what? Go back in time and be king of the cavemen?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Why not? It wouldn’t be much of a step down, now would it? Breach, if you would, remove our guest so we can continue. Practice makes perfect, or in your case, acceptable.
:''[Breach makes a red portal.]''
:'''Rex:''' Breach! Think about what you're doing.
:''[Van Kleiss grins, she runs and puts her arms around Rex, portals out with Rex.]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Find her. Now.
:''[Mountains, snow, Rex shivering.]''
:'''Rex:''' I'm glad you got us out of there, but where... are we?
:'''Breach:''' When the snow is gone you can see forever.
:'''Rex:''' That's nice. Can we go now?
:'''Breach:''' I need to know if I can trust you.
:'''Rex:''' You can trust me. I swear.
:''[Breach grabs his hand and hugs him. He opens his eyes. They are standing on a shiny endless reflective surface, reflecting stars.]''
:'''Rex:''' This is different.
:'''Breach:''' Do you see it?
:'''Rex:''' Um--
:'''Breach:''' This is where the stillness comes from.
:'''Rex:''' You. Are weird. So what exactly does this mean? Are you coming with me or is this some kind of test?
:'''Breach:''' I need you to see it.
:'''Rex:''' Ah... A test.
:'''Breach:''' Do you wanna understand?
:'''Rex:''' Not exactly sure. ''[She glares, he waves his hands in front of him.]'' Yes, I mean yes. I mean--
:'''Breach:''' Follow me. ''[Walks through red portal.]''
:''[Another place. A door, a doll, a bear and a fire hydrant float in space.]''
:''[Rex hanging upside down, she is holding him by his ankle above a swirling pink vortex.]''
:'''Rex:''' Ahh! What happened? I thought we were getting along fine!
:'''Breach:''' Why are you here?
:'''Rex:''' Good question. Where exactly is here? Can we go somewhere else now, somewhere like, on Earth?
:''[She drops him. He screams and lands on the floor between some stacks of books.]''
:'''Rex:''' You sure know how to pick'em. What kind of tripped out dimension is this? ''[Librarian walks by and shushes him.]'' Oh. College.
:'''White Knight:''' ''[On communicator in Rex's right ear.]'' Rex, report. Where on earth have you been?
:'''Rex:''' Apparently every place but.
:'''White Knight:''' I need to know you can handle this otherwise we're going to try a different approach.
:'''Rex:''' You need to chill out, White. I’m making progress. ''[Rex puts his hand to his left ear.]'' Dr. Holiday, are you there?
:'''Holiday:''' Tracking shows you’re with Breach. Are you okay?
:'''Rex:''' Fine? Creeped out but fine. I can't bring Breach back to Providence, White would just lock her up and that won't help.
:'''Holiday:''' Where will you take her?
:'''Rex:''' I'll think of something. Just keep White Knight off my case.
:''[Breach appears behind him.]''
:'''Rex:''' Why don't you let me pick out where we go next?
:''[Scene change.]''
:''[White Knight hands folded moving nervously.]''
:'''White Knight:''' He says he's making progress.
:'''Black Knight:''' The committee is losing confidence. They want results, not excuses.
:'''White Knight:''' Then that's exactly what they’ll get.
:''[Scene change. Rex sits across from Breach in a booth at a bowling alley.]''
:'''Rex:''' Soooo, don't like bowling, huh? I figured with the extra arms you'd be a natural.
:'''Breach:''' I'm not supposed to like you, but I do.
:'''Rex:''' ''[smiles]'' We're teenagers. At least assuming you are. Doing what we are not supposed to is part of the job. French fry?
:''[She takes it and then drops it.]''
:'''Rex:''' Do you remember anything? From before you... changed?
:'''Breach:''' I remember everything. And nothing.
:'''Rex:''' Naturally. Why did I even bother to ask. Listen, Breach. I'm not going to pretend I understand you, ''[Puts his hand on her giant hand]'' but I can help. If you let me.
:''[The machine starts to glow, they jump to their feet, other people look startled.]''
:'''Rex:''' Nothing to worry about. Everything's fine.
:'''Breach:''' I can't, I can't stop it.
:'''Rex:''' Let me try. ''[He tries and it knocks him onto the floor sparking.]''
:'''Breach:''' Van Kleiss has control. They're coming.
:''[Van Kleiss busts through the door with The Pack following. Raises bio-mechanical hand, palm of it glows, device on Breach's chest turns off.]''
:'''Rex:''' Okay, do your thing. Get us out of here. Anywhere.
:''[she tries]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You can't take what doesn't belong to you.
:'''Rex:''' I didn't take you for the jealous type. ''[Rex shoots bowling balls at Van Kleiss with his cannon, hits Biowulf and Skalamander in the face and Van Kleiss punches the balls aside with his bio-mechanical hand.]''
:'''Rex:''' Breach, let's go!
:''[Breach rides off with Rex on hoverboard, Van Kleiss and Pack follow on three flying fish EVO's with harnesses and big teeth. They dodge and crash Van Kleiss into a window, and land in a park.]''
:''[Breach and Rex stand together on a footbridge looking down into the water.]''
:'''Breach:''' ''[Walks to bridge and looks at her reflection, Rex follows.]'' Will they hurt me?
:'''Rex:''' Providence? Not if I can help it.
:'''Breach:''' They did before. Ms. Smarty Pants—she likes to hurt me.
:'''Rex:''' I'll give you my word, if you come back to Providence, I promise no one will hurt you.
:'''Breach:''' We can be together forever and ever. ''[She walks off bridge, ducks swimming in water.]''
:'''Rex:''' Uh... something like that. What am I getting myself into? We gotta move. I bet my brother has already figured out how to turn that thing of yours off.
:''[The ducks fly off, they look and see a reflection in the pond of White Knight's ship.]''
:''[White Knight walks up followed by Providence fighter planes.]''
:'''Rex:''' Uh guys, what are you doing?!
:'''White Knight:''' If you can't have something done right, do it yourself.
:''[They shoot at Breach, she screams, Rex is horrified.]''
:'''Rex:''' No! No! No! ''[walks up bridge to White Knight]'' Do have any idea what you just did?
:''[Breach's chest device turns on, she screams, Providence shoots at her.]''
:'''Rex:''' Is this what you wanted? Congratulations! ''[runs to Breach]'' Breach! Wait!
:'''Breach:''' Liar! ''[Throws red portal at Rex, he dodges, second one hits him, he disappears. Providence keeps shooting, she throw portals, drops three soldiers in water.]''
:'''White Knight:''' Agent Six!
:''[He jumps at her, she portals him away to behind Knight. Rex jumps from the water onto the bridge by Knight.]''
:'''Rex:''' You had no intention to bring her in, did you?
:'''White Knight:''' I wanted to believe you, Rex, but this is too important. She can't be controlled.
:'''Rex:''' Control... Her powers are back on. Van Kleiss.
:''[Van Kleiss arrives on flying fish EVO.]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Settle down, Breach.
:''[Chest device turns off.]''
:'''Rex:''' Let me do this. I can get through to her. Come on. It couldn't get any worse than you've already made it
:''[Knight and Six look at each other.]''
:'''White Knight:''' Form a perimeter around Breach. Van Kleiss isn't to touch her.
:''[A rock wall rises from the ground blocking Rex as he runs towards Breach. The Pack jumps down from wall to attack Rex, Six intervenes. Agents surround Breach, she tries and fails to make red portal. Screams. Van Kleiss flies in on fish, knocks down agents with bio-mechanical whip arm, shoots needles from fingers and knocks more down, fish knocks the rest down. White Knight shoots at Van Kleiss.]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' If you had any idea what I was trying to do you might even welcome it.
:'''White Knight:''' Enlighten me.
:''[Van Kleiss touches a tree and it turns into an EVO. EVO tree catches and holds White. Six and Biowulf fight, Rex and Skalamander fight.]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Enlighten you?
:''[Sticks his claws in White Knight, glowing White Knight screams.]'' All in good time, White Knight, assuming you have some left.
:''[Six throws a magnablade through Van Kleiss's bio-mechanical arm and he lets go of White.]''
:'''Six:''' ''[to White Knight]'' Go. I mean it. ''[White Knight flies off.]''
:'''Six:''' The name's Six.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' We've met.
:'''Six:''' Don't remember. ''[They fight.]''
:''[Breach on merry-go-round, turning slowly looking at the sky.
:'''Rex:''' You're just using her.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Of course I am. She knows it. Spare me the chivalry, Rex. Providence would do the same.
:'''Rex:''' Either way you slice it, she loses!
:'''Breach:''' ''[to herself]'' My two favorites. You both lie. Neither is real.
:'''Rex:''' ''[goes to her]'' Breach, I'm sorry. I meant what I said.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Words mean nothing.
:'''Rex:''' Then let this do the talking. ''[Turns on her machine, puts it into her power.]''
:''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You just handed her a loaded gun.
:'''Rex:''' And now it's her choice how to use it.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh if only I had the chance to get through to you, Rex, to teach you how the world really works.
:''[Breach steps in front of Van Kleiss, raises her arms as if to send Rex away. Makes huge yellow portal above them.]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Our very first time traveler. You should be honored. Now Breach, if you wouldn't mind.
:''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]''
:''[Rex closes his eyes. Breach sends Van Kleiss away with yellow portal.]''
:'''Rex:''' That was... unexpected.
:''[Rex tries to turn machine off but fails.]''
:'''Rex:''' It won't turn off. I'm sorry. I, I didn't know.
:'''Breach:''' Van Kleiss made it like this so I wouldn't send him away.
:'''Rex:''' That didn't work out so well did it? Six, get everyone out of here now! ''[A big yellow dome forms around the playground where Rex and Breach stand.]''
:'''Rex:''' So, what's going to happen?
:''[Rex and Breach are about to be engulfed by Breach's out of control time portal]''
:'''Breach''': ''[she looks up]'' I don't know if any of this was real. But it was nice having a friend for a while. ''[Rex smiles, Breach hugs him as they dispensary in the golden time portal]''
:'''Rex:''' I didn't get blown up. ''[Sees a lizard.]'' Whoa! ''[Jumps away, startled.]'' Oh no, please don't let this be dino time. ''[Touches earpiece in left ear.]'' Rex to Providence, do you copy? :''[Takes earpiece out and looks at it.]'' Oh... Rex to Providence, you better be there.
:'''Providence Agent:''' Uh... we copy, Rex. We have a lock on your coordinates and are sending a jump jet.
:'''Rex:''' Is Six okay? Breach went supernova.
:'''Providence Agent:''' Someone's on the way, just hold tight. Providence out.
:''[Scene change, Rex lying on the ground.]''
:'''Rex:''' Took you long enough.
:''[Turns over and sees Providence agents, pointing guns at him.]''
:'''Providence Agent:''' Rex is onboard. Heading back to HQ.
:'''Rex:''' HQ? Ten minutes ago I was in the middle of an epic battle. You need to take me back!
:'''Providence Agent:''' Um, that battle is over.
:'''Rex:''' What happened? Is Six okay? Guys...what's going on?
:''[They arrive at HQ.]''
:'''Caesar:''' Baby brother, you're okay! ''[Runs and hugs him.]''
:'''Rex:''' Breach just sent me to nowheresville. Nothing to freak out over.
:'''Caesar:''' ''[To Providence agent.]'' You didn't tell him?
:'''Providence Agent:''' Our orders were just to bring him back.
:'''Rex:''' Tell me what? Hey, when did you... have a beard?
:'''Caesar:''' There's no easy way to tell you this, hermano. Breach didn't just send you to the middle of nowhere. You've been gone for six months.
:'''Rex:''' Six months?! So this is--
:'''Caesar:''' Technically, the future. I should warn you, there've been a few changes.
:'''Rex:''' You didn't give away my room, did you?
:'''Caesar:''' As a matter of fact, they did.
:'''Rex:''' What?! Caesar, tell me what's going on here.
:'''Caesar:''' It would be better if I showed you.
:'''Rex:''' White Knight taking visitors now?
:'''Caesar:''' I'll wait out here.
:''[Rex sees Providence agents dressed in black.]''
:'''Rex:''' Nice suits.
:''[Goes into the office.]''
:'''Rex:''' Ah... Love what you've done with the place. White?
:''[Person in chair turns around, it's a woman, not White Knight.]''
:'''Black Knight:''' Thank you, Rex. ''[She gets up and walks towards him.]'' It was a little bright for my taste. White Knight is no longer associated with this organization.
:'''Rex:''' He quit?
:'''Black Knight:''' He...attempted a hostile takeover and failed. Can I get you anything? Water? A snack?
:'''Rex:''' I don't want a snack! Where's Six? Where's Holiday!?
:'''Black Knight:''' This must upsetting to you. Change is never easy but from I understand, you've been in situations like this before. Everything's going to be fine.
:'''Rex:''' Who are you?!
:'''Black Knight:''' Someone very happy to have you back. Call me Black Knight.
==Season Three (2011-2013)==
===Back in Black===
: '''Rex''': Okay, I get what's going on here.
: '''Black Knight''': I'm relieved to hear that, Rex.
: '''Rex''': You can come out! I know you're there!
: '''Black Knight''': Rex?
: '''Rex''': We're friends, now, remember? Breach?
: '''Black Knight''': Breach isn't here, Rex. The world's changed. As soon you accept th--
: '''Rex''': No, I'm not ignoring you. It's just that you're not real.
: '''Black Knight''': I assure you I'm very real-- As is all of this.
: '''Rex''': ''[Chuckling]'' Oh, come on. It's been a fun time in the ol' Breachscape, but, you know, time to go home now.
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex''': Seen this before. Usually ends with a black hole.
: '''Black Knight''': Rex, you're disoriented. Let me--
: '''Rex''': Sorry, non-lady. No time. Got an exit to find! Shall we aprehend?
: '''Black Knight''': It won't be necessary.
: '''Caesar''': Rex! Have you lost it?
: '''Rex''': Caesar! We're in a pocket dimension! It could collapse at any second!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Caesar''': That's crazy, Rex. This is not a pocket dimension.
: '''Rex''': You're right! It's a whole alternate universe! And-- and-- and you're my Brother's evil twin! Out of the way! Six! Six! Doc!
: ''[Rex panting]''
: '''Rex''': Dr. Holiday! Doc!
: ''[Rex sighs]''
: '''Rex''': Wha-- Well, at least some things haven't changed. Whoa! Whoa! Okay, now I-- Bleh-- know I'm in an-- Aah!-- alternate universe. Unh! You can go ahead and -- Blech!-- Eat me now, please.
: '''Black Knight''': Release.
: '''Rex''': You were... saying something about changes?
: '''Black Knight''': There have been a few.
: '''Caesar''': You've got temporal lag, Rex. It's kind of like altitude sickness, only in time. Here-- This will balance your electrolytes.
: ''[Rex sighs]''
: '''Rex''': So this is really--
: '''Black Knight''': Really. Welcome to the future, Rex-- Or, rather, to the present. Without your healing abilities, Providence has embraced a new paradigm. We've moved beyond the outmoded era of "cure, contain, or kill."
: '''Rex''': And into the era of "serious leash laws".
: '''Caesar''': We used the petting zoo as our test bed. What do you think?
: '''Rex''': I think it needs a new name, 'cause, you know, now it really is one.
: '''Caesar''': We've developed new techniques for working with EVOs. It's all about understanding them better.
: '''Rex''': So, you're some sort of "EVO whisperer"?
: '''Caesar''': ''[laughs]'' It's a bit more complicated than that. You sure you're okay? ''[sighs]'' It's good to have you back, brother.
: '''Black Knight''': Family ties. They transcend even time itself.
: '''Rex''': Caesar's not my only family.
: '''Black Knight''': I'll bring you up to speed on the others. When you went M.I.A., White Knight lost his biggest weapon in the war for EVO containment.
: '''Rex''': Figures that I have to vanish for him to appreciate me.
: '''Black Knight''': White became erratic-- some might say paranoid. Directorate lost faith in his ability to lead.
: '''Rex''': Directorate? I never knew white even had a boss.
: '''Black Knight''': There are, shall we say, layers. I was named as his replacement.
: '''Rex''': Let me guess-- he didn't take it well.
: '''Black Knight''': You could say that.
: '''Providence Agent''': White Knight! Sir! Stand down!
: '''White Knight''': I'd rather go down in flames than see Providence in the hands of the enemy.
: '''Providence Agent''': He's got a bomb! Fall back! All units fall ba--
: '''Rex''': Whoa! That was--
: '''Black Knight''': Your room.
: '''Rex''': Huh? Aww, man! But... Six... Holiday... where--
: '''Black Knight''': Where do you think? They're out looking for you. Agent Six and Holiday took indefinite leave. They've been off the grid ever since. I've attempted to contact them, but no response.
: '''Rex''': Mind if... I give them a ring? Not that I don't trust you.
: '''Black Knight''': ''[sarcasm]'' But you don't trust me. Natural, given the circumstances. Be my guest. ''[after Rex gets disconnected]'' It won't take long, to locate them. Meanwhile, there are many familiar faces who will be glad to hear you're back. Which reminds me... ''[tosses Rex a sack]'' This is everything we salvaged from your room.
: '''Rex''': ''[opening the sack to find his ball]'' Huh. Talk about starting over.
: '''Black Knight''': You could you know. There's still a place for you in the--
: '''Rex''': My room. I thought you said it was trashed.
: '''Black Knight''': Rex, wait.
: '''Rex''': What's the matter, Black? This where you're hiding all your evil secrets?
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Rex''': Um... Wow!
: '''Black Knight''': This entire wing was destroyed in the blast. I had the space... repurposed.
: '''Rex''': White wouldn't even splurge for private stalls.
: '''Black Knight''': As you see, I treat my finest people to the very finest things.
: '''Rex''': Sure. I'll take one of those, please.
: '''Black Knight''': It's yours-- and anything else you'd like.
: '''Rex''': As long as I do whatever you want-- That it?
: '''Black Knight''': On the contrary-- you're a seasoned agent. I have a few boundaries, but otherwise, handle matters as you see fit.
: '''Rex''': Say I refuse.
: '''Black Knight''': Then I turn you over to mel. ''[chuckling]'' I'm kidding. You're free to leave whenever you like. But I hope you'll stay. Now, more than ever, Providence needs a Rex. So, how do you feel? Like I haven't used one of those in Six months-- Which I haven't. You mind? Bobo?
: '''Bobo''': Rex! Heard you were back. So great to see you, buddy. Whoa. Just a sec, there, pal. Gotta love those certain towelettes.
: ''[Bobo whistling]''
: '''Bobo''': What? Never seen a monkey wash his hands before?
: '''Rex''': Not this one.
: ''[Bobo munching]''
: '''Rex''': You wanna tell me what's gotten into you or what?
: '''Bobo''': What are you talking abou-- Unh! Hey!
: '''Rex''': Sorry. For a minute, I thought you were...
: '''Bobo''': Robo Bobo? Wanna check for a tv in my butt?
: '''Rex''': Pass. But come on. You've, I don't know, mellowed or something.
: '''Bobo''': Guess I just don't have a big need to act out these days, what with you and everyone gone. Plus, the employee benefits are pretty sweet.
: '''Black Knight''': Rex, we've got a little EVO problem. Providence could use your help. Ready to get back in the game?
: '''Rex''': If it involves getting out of here, that would be a "yes." You coming?
: '''Bobo''': I'll join ya on the next one. I got Tai Chi at 2:00.
: '''Rex''': Missing an EVO smackdown? That doesn't sound like you.
: '''Bobo''': Did I mention the instructor has a thing for back hair?
: '''Rex:''' Ew. Okay. That sounds like you. What is it and where do I find it?
: '''Providence Agent''': We've got an EVO in the subway tunnels, people trapped in one of the trains. The power's out down there, too.
: '''Rex:''' Sounds like a street worm. Sure it's just one? Rex to H.Q. Okay, new chief, how do you want to do this?
: '''Black Knight:''' You're the expert.
: '''Rex:''' I am? Uh, I mean, of course I am. It's just that Six usually--
: '''Black Knight:''' You don't need help, Rex. Handle it as you see fit. Black, out.
: '''Rex:''' What's this strange feeling that's come upon me? Could it be...
: ''[Rex shudders]''
: '''Rex''': Responsibility?! Okay. Assemble your guys over there. Be ready for me. Should the guys grab flashlight. Or... better. Not a bad pre-show. Now for the main event.
: '''Providence Agent:''' How did you know?
: '''Rex:''' These things usually travel in pairs. I used lights from my builds to make it think I was another worm. Have your bug net handy. They're so cute after I shut them down.
: '''Rex:''' Sorry B.K. No can cure.
: '''Black Knight:''' Understood. Our team will take it from here.
: '''Rex:''' Um, take what where?
: '''Providence Agent:''' Move into the vehicle! Move... into... the vehicle! Hit her again!
: '''Rex:''' Um, what just happend?
: '''Black Knight:''' That's all for now, Rex. Nicely done.
: '''Rex:''' Hm. Wait. What are you gonna do with it?
: '''Providence Agent:''' Standard rehab and re-lo. It's all very humane.
: '''Rex:''' I'd love to see that. Mind if I tag along?
: '''Black Knight:''' Sorry, Rex. Authorized personnel only. You've done your job. Now let the team theirs.
: '''Rex:''' But--
: '''Black Knight:''' Boundaries, Rex.
: '''Rex:''' Boundaries. Got it. Rex, out.
: '''Caesar:''' Main container reached. Attach stabilizer ring.
: '''Rex:''' Humane? Yeah, right.
: ''[Bobo yawns]''
: '''Bobo:''' See? Great employee benefits.
: '''Rex:''' Yeah. Right. Hey, you got a tag sticking out in the back. Mind if I--
: '''Bobo:''' Thanks, pal. Well, off to yoga.
: '''Caesar:''' You really shouldn't be here, hermano.
: '''Rex:''' The petting zoo? The worm? My monkey practicing good hygiene? You're using that thing to control my friend!
: '''Caesar:''' He's still the same Bobo you know and love. He just need a few boundaries.
: '''Rex:''' He's not the same, and neither are you! You should hear yourself!
: '''Caesar:''' Making the world safer isn't possible without some form of control. And you'd better get some control of yourself, mijo.
: '''Rex:''' Or what? You'll use that thing on me?
: '''Caesar:''' Open your eyes to all the good we're accomplishing. Isn't this better than smacking them with your giant fists?
: '''Rex:''' That's combat! I protect people and property! Okay, property, not so much, but this? If you can't see the difference, then maybe I never knew you at all!
: '''Caesar:''' It doesn't matter. I have work to do.
: '''Rex:''' So do I!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Uses his Smack Hands to smash everything around him]''
: '''Caesar:''' Rex! Stop!
: '''Black Knight:''' Snooping around, Rex? See, that's another one of my boundaries.
: '''Rex:''' White Knight may have had his issues, but he never resorted to anything like this!
: '''Black Knight:''' I never planned to do this, Rex, but you've become a danger.
: '''Rex''' ''[shocked]'': Caesar! Think! You can't do this!
: '''Caesar:''' Of course I'm thinking. This is the logical conclusion to what we started.
: '''Rex:''' The logical-- Aaaah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Raaah! Aah!
: ''[Caesar blasts the mind-control laser, causing Rex to scream and groan in pain]''
: '''Caesar:''' Sorry, Rex. You'll thank me later.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' You... better... believe I will!
: '''Caesar:''' Please don't resist! It's only painful if you struggle!
: '''Black Knight:''' What's taking so long?
: '''Caesar:''' He's fighting it! His nantic energy is spiking off the scale!
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Black Knight:''' Boost power.
: '''Caesar:''' It's not safe to--
: '''Black Knight:''' It's for the best.
: ''[Caesar increases power, causing Rex's nanites to go haywire as a tear fall down his cheek, heartbroken about his own brother betraying him]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Manages to overpower the mind-control machine, much to the surprise and wonder of Caesar and Black Knight]''
: '''Rex:''' You just drew a line in the sand, bro! ''[runs off]''
: '''Black Knight:''' You'd better have a backup.
: '''Caesar:''' The prototype. Not portable, but more than enough power, even for him.
: '''Black Knight:''' Get it ready.
: '''Rex:''' Unh!
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Rex:''' No mood to get slimed right now, mel!
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Rex:''' What happened to your EVO control?
: '''Black Knight:''' ''[after Black Knight reactivates Mel's control]'' A demonstration. You know what would happen without our influence.
: '''Rex:''' So, you're hijacking its brain, like you tried to do with mine.
: '''Black Knight:''' That won't be necessary if you'll willingly cooperate.
: '''Rex:''' Translation-- if I do everything you say.
: '''Black Knight:''' You've seen how we can work together. Providence still needs you. There will always be a few EVOs we can't control.
: '''Rex:''' Yeah. I'm one of them.
: '''Black Pawns:''' Shall we pursue?
: '''Black Knight:''' Most definitely.
: '''Rex:''' Gangway! Coming through! Huh? No! Huh. Black Pawns. Overdoing the whole theme, don't you think?
: ''[Rex groaning]''
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Rex:''' Yah! I'm getting beat up by the chess club!
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Black Knight:''' We... got off on the wrong foot. Stow the hardware and come with us. You have my word you won't be harmed. We can start over-- the right way.
: '''Bobo:''' You mind? You're interrupting the enjoyment of my employee benefits.
: ''[Rex sighs]''
: ''[Rex panting]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Black Knight:''' ''[after Rex was tranquilized]'' Excellent work. Take him to the lab.
: ''[Rex groans]''
: ''[Rex sighs]''
: '''Rex:''' What? No way! You're not turning my brain to mashed potatoes! Doc?!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Welcome back, Rex.
: '''Six:''' Good to see you, kid.
: '''Rex:''' Before I blame this on a Burrito-induced nightmare, will someone please tell me-- What... Is... Going... On?!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' What do you think? We've been looking for you.
: '''Six:''' We knew Providence might find you first. Fortunately, we planted a mole.
: '''Bobo:''' Ehh. Rex! Put 'er there!
: '''Rex:''' Uhh! You didn't wash! Oh! You didn't wash! But that means... that he really was... Robo Bobo?
: '''Bobo:''' In the flesh.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Literally. I gave it a biological upgrade, complete with his own nanites and... fleas, ticks, lice, chigger mites.
: '''Bobo:''' What can I say? I'm an ecosystem.
: '''Six:''' It's enough to fool your brother's equipment. The robot is only providing limited intel. But one thing is sure-- new Providence is about more than just getting EVOs off the streets.
: '''Rex:''' I saw it. Whatever they're doing over there is seriously messed up.
: '''Six:''' That's why we've set up our own operation.
: '''Rex:''' ''[Long pause as Rex sees the new HQ]'' Whoa! Where did you get all of this?
: '''Six:''' We have our sources.
: '''Rex:''' So, we're like super-secret spies now? Cool!
:''[Rex sighs]''
: '''Rex:''' It's too bad about White, though. I never thought I'd say it, but I'm gonna miss that pasty guy.
: '''White Knight:''' ''[White enters]'' How touching, Rex. I, on the other hand, have rather enjoyed the last six Rex-free months. Now... If we're done with the love-in, we have work to do.
: '''Rex:''' It really can't get any better than this. Oh, except one thing-- Can I get a TV?
===Crash and Burn===
*From this episode, Rex can create two builds at once
:''[Bobo yawns]''
:'''Bobo:''' They say nothin' good happens after midnight. And, you know, they're right.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm worried about you, Bobo. Since we left Providence, you've been staying out every night.
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:''[Bobo munching]''
:''[Bobo gulps]''
:'''Bobo:''' That's not the least of your worries. Seen our boy lately?
:''[Dr. Holiday scoffs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex is fine. He just needs time to adjust to our new setting. Rex? It's Holiday. Are you there?
:'''Rex:''' Hey, doc. What up?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Just checking in. Everything okay?
:'''Rex:''' Better than okay. I'm about to set a new land-speed record'
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' That wasn't what I meant. How are you feeling?
:'''Rex:''' Appreciate the concern, but the only thing on my mind right now is the need for speed. Apparently, I'm not alone. I'll call you back. Hey! Slow down! I want to talk to you! Ah. You want to play chicken. Doc? Bobo? I'm getting blitzed by some bikers. Aah!
:'''Rand:''' Might as well give up! I won't quit! I'm a relentless, never-say-die, nonstop-- Uh, hey, wait a minute. Who are you?
:'''Rex:''' Think you could have asked me that before trying to run me down?
:'''Rand:''' Ooh! My fault. I thought you were one of us.
:'''Rex:''' "One of us"? What is this?
:'''Rand:''' Sorry, dude. No time to chat. Peace.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, like I'm gonna take that for an answer. A street race? Or a demolition derby?
:''[Lance grunts]''
:''[Lance groans]''
:'''Lance:''' Gonna need a bike.
:'''Rex:''' Can't believe you survive that! You must be the luckiest guy on the-- These are nanites.
:''[Lance groans]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Oh, come on!
:'''Six:''' Something wrong?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Prototypes. I prefer tried-and-tested. And I don't even know what we're going to do with half of this stuff.
:'''Bobo:''' You're goin' soft, gettin' worked over by a bunch of goofballs on motorcycles.
:'''Rex:''' They had weapons.
:'''Bobo:''' Last time I checked, so did you.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, but not while I'm on my bike. I'm strictly one at a time.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The nanites that have infected his body are slowly poisoning him. I've never seen anything like it.
:'''Rex:''' Do what you can, Doc? I'm gonna go out and look for those racers.
:'''Bobo:''' Sounds dangerous.
:'''Rex:''' Sure, Bobo. You can come, too. The nanites we found on the biker gave off a different energy signature. Gonna use one of Holiday's new toys to try to scan for it. A bunch of them. And they're moving fast.
:'''Bobo:''' Then step on it! Maybe Holiday has a point about prototypes!
:'''Rex:''' Or maybe they're not on the streets. I'll watch the road. You watch the screen.
:'''Bobo:''' Gotta warn you-- Chimps make bad navigators!
:'''Rex:''' Just do it!
:'''Bobo:''' Hmm? Left! You're goin' left! Make a right! Another right!
:'''Rex:''' Which way?
:'''Bobo:''' I don't know! That way-ish! Wah! Like I said-- Monkeys make great navigators! This is your biker gang?
:'''Rex:''' They had weapons before I'm telling you-- They're tough!
:'''Bobo:''' If you say so.
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:'''Bobo:''' Wall.
:''[Bobo and Rex grunts]''
:'''Moss:''' That's some fancy ridin'. You following us, kid?
:'''Rex:''' Still think they don't look tough?
:'''Bobo:''' I take it back.
:'''Moss:''' Who are you, kid? 'Cause whoever you are, you're not bad.
:'''Rand:''' You're awesome! Where'd you learn to ride like that? Anybody with that kind of skill should be with us. Yeah!
:'''Moss:''' What's your secret?
:'''Rex:''' No secret. I'm just built that way.
:'''Lunk:''' Is that guy from TV-- The one who fights EVOs.
:'''Bobo:''' Five bucks for pictures, ten bucks for autographs.
:'''Rand:''' A talking monkey! Outrageous! I gotta have one. Is he for sale?
:'''Bobo:''' Brother, you can't afford me.
:'''Rex:''' You guys seem tight-- For guys who try to kill each other.
:'''Rand:''' We're not killers. We're racers. This is a legitimate sport.
:'''Moss:''' It is what it is. Our races aren't for the weak. Name's Moss. You've met Rand.
:'''Rex:''' He tried to blow me up.
:'''Rand:''' I missed. You're welcome. Come on, don't leave me hangin'.
:'''Moss:''' Never met a celebrity who could ride.
:'''Rex:''' I caught you, didn't I?
:'''Moss:''' But are you tough enough try me?
:'''Rex:''' Try me.
:'''Bobo:''' You gotta fight back?
:'''Rex:''' With what?
:'''Bobo:''' Oh, brother. Fine, leave it to Chimpy. Aah! I'll take that. Phbt!
:'''Rex:''' Something else on the map-- Moving fast! And it's big!
:'''Providence Agent:''' Halt! You kids! Pull over! Now!
:'''Moss:''' Cops!
:'''Bobo:''' Worst than cops-- Providence.
:'''Rex:''' The bikes give off a nanite signature. They must have tracked it.
:'''Providence Agent:''' Rex, what are you doing here?
:'''Rex:''' Research. You don't want to get caught up in this! Back off now! Sorry, guys. Have Black Knight sent me the bill.
:'''Rand:''' Ha! No way! You want to beat me, you gotta step your game up. Aah!
:''[Rand groans]''
:'''Rex:''' Rand!
:'''Bobo:''' Don't stop! Kid's wearing armor. He's fine.
:'''Rex:''' No! Something's wrong!
:''[Rand groans]''
:'''Rex:''' What is this thing? Doc? Get over here quick. We've got another one.
:'''Biker gangs:''' WHOO-HOO-HOO!
:''[Biker gangs laughs]''
:'''Biker gangs:''' Yeah!
:'''Moss:''' We thought you'd bailed on us. Where were you?
:'''Rex:''' Watching a doctor try to save Rand's life.
:'''Moss:''' Racers get sick sometimes. It's part of the life.
:'''Rex:''' Those nanite power sources-- you got to stop using them. To feel one with the road, that rush? So some people get sick. When we're on our rides, nothing else matters.
:'''Rex:''' Your rides are killing you! You're gonna be dead-- All of you! And for what? So you can go a little faster?
:'''Moss:''' We need those things to ride. You know what it's like.
:'''Lunk:''' Please. Don't take our bikes away.
:'''Rex:''' Nobody's going to take your bikes. But I need to know where you got those nanites.
:'''Lunk:''' ''[sighs]'' A guy named Valve. He supplies the superchargers.
:'''Moss:''' You're wasting your time. Valve never talks to anybody.
:'''Rex:''' He'll talk to me.
:'''Bobo:''' Been in a lot of bad biker dives, but this is the worst I've ever seen.
:'''Valve:''' Enter, strangers. The biker will see you now. Please, sit. May I offer you some tea?
:'''Rex:''' I'll pass.
:'''Valve:''' Suit yourself. I find a good cup of tea soothing-- for the body and the soul.
:''[Valve slurps]''
:'''Valve:''' You don't have to tell the biker why you're here. The biker can tell. You wish to buy a supercharger.
:''[Valve slurps]''
:'''Rex:''' Your superchargers are killing people. It's gonna stop.
:''[Valve breathes deeply]''
:'''Valve:''' Hmm. That sounds like a challenge.
:'''Rex:''' Maybe it is. I'll race you for them. If I win, you hand over your entire stockpile.
:'''Valve:''' Shh! Your answer is on the wind.
:'''Rex:''' You're... not right in the head, are you?
:'''Valve:''' When the wind commands, the impossible game must be gamed. The challenge is accepted. We will race for the superchargers. And when the biker wins... It won't matter.
:'''Rex:''' Why is that?
:'''Valve:''' Because you'll be dead. Let the race begin.
:'''Moss:''' This is his own private track. He knows it better than anyone. You can still back out-- Probably.
:'''Rex:''' And let people become poison, like Valve? No. I can take him. Just give me something to hit him with. You guys are walking arsenals. You don't have anything?
:'''Moss:''' You didn't think we'd need 'em today.
:'''Bobo:''' Oh, boy.
:'''Six:''' Message from Holiday. The two sick teens have stabilized, but she's still a ways from finding a cure.
:'''Rex:''' It was the only weapon I could find, okay? Can I borrow the sword?
:'''Six:''' Use your own.
:'''Rex:''' On wheels? It's not gonna happen.
:'''Six:''' What's stopping you?
:'''Rex:''' Well, for one thing, I-- Um, not sure exactly.
:'''Six:''' What have I been teaching you? Focus on what you want and make it happen. No more excuses.
:''[Bobo munching]''
:''[Bobo munching]''
:'''Valve:''' You're lucky. One the very best get a chance at this track.
:'''Rex:''' Then I should fit right in. Rules of the game-- ten laps. Cross the finish line before the biker, and you may have them.
:'''Rex:''' So, is the wind talking to you now?
:'''Valve:''' The wind commands the Biker to destroy you. The Biker is happy to oblige.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Bobo:''' You gonna help him?
:'''Six:''' He's doing fine.
:'''Bobo:''' Are you watchin' the same race I am?
:''[Valve grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' You're in trouble, Rex! No. Keep it together. Keep... it... together. Six said it-- Focus. Focus. Focus!
:''[Valve laughs]''
:'''Valve:''' Oblivion.
:'''Six:''' Like I sad-- He's doing fine.
:'''Rex:''' Double-up! Where have you been all my life?
:''[Valve grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Cute toy. But I like mine better.
:'''Valve:''' Aah!
:'''Rex:''' Was there any doubt?
:'''Bobo:''' Yeah, plenty.
:''[Valve panting]''
:'''Rex:''' We had the deal. Remember?
:'''Valve:''' Like the storm that changes directions on a whim, the biker is changing the deal. 'Cause the biker-- ''[grunts]'' Doesn't like! ''[grunts]'' The biker-- ''[grunts]'' never loses! ''[grunts]'' Unh!
:'''Rex:''' First time for everything. Thank you, Six.
:'''Six:''' It was all you, kid.
:'''Moss:''' Rand!
:'''Biker gangs:''' Oh, Rand! Good to see you!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Completely detoxified. In a couple days, they'll be back to full strength. Those could be useful at the new base.
:'''Moss:''' You can't stop us from riding.
:'''Rex:''' What's stopping you? You can still ride. You just won't be poisoned by nanites. Come on. Race you back to the garage.
:''[Rex rides off]''
:'''Moss:''' ''[Chasing after Rex]'' You heard the man. Hit it!
:'''Six:''' You do realize we just turned a group of reckless teenage boys loose on the city.
:'''Bobo:''' All in a day's work.
===Heroes United, Part 1===
: ''[In New York City, a strange white sphere appears in the sky, imposing several sporadic shocks that hit a bridge and a building and several people begin to run desperately. At The Plant, a light turns on and Rex is running and stops, with the light focusing on him, a figure passes behind Rex who smiles and builds his Funchucks and attacks the figure behind him who jumps dodging his attack and landing behind Rex, the light turns on and reveals itself to be Agent Six.]''
: '''Six:''' You need to pay attention.
: ''[Six pulls out his Magna Blades]''
: '''Rex:''' I'll tell you what I need.
: ''[Rex attacks Six who blocks his attacks]''
: '''Six:''' More training? Your swing is getting a little sloppy.
: '''Rex:''' Not what I was thinking, but thanks for the tip.
: ''[Rex tries to attack Six who jumps, dodging the blow. Six tries to attack Rex who builds his Punk busters and jumps back]''
: '''Rex:''' Two words for you, Six- - Theme song!
: '''Six:''' Theme song?
: ''[Jump on top of the cabin where Holiday is]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Break my stuff, and I will ruin you.
: '''Rex:''' Things have been pretty Good for me lately, I have a home, friends, family. The only thing I need now is my own theme song.
: '''Bobo:''' I got your Theme Song. Phbt! Phbt! ''[Bobo makes farting noises.]''
: '''Rex:''' I'm serious. Every hero should have a theme song. I've been working on one. Thought you probably wouldn't hear over the ringing in your ears. It started when the nanites went “Ka-Pow!” upon the scene Transforming all the life on earth like nothing that you’ve seen. But there’s one lucky Hombre who can make them build machines, He's Gen Rex! Ohh!
: '''Six:''' ''[Six kicks Rex backwards]'' Its... Catchy. It's good to see you happy, Rex. Just remember this world, right now, all of those things can be taken away in an instant.
: '''Rex:''' If that's your attempt to inspire me, Six, you need a little more practice yourself.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' How quickly can we get to Manhattan?
: ''[Young Woman gasps]''
: '''Young Woman:''' Providence! It'll be okay now, sweetie.
: '''Black Knight:''' Doctor Salazar, What am I looking at?
: '''Caesar:''' You want the truth? For the first time since I was six years old, I haven't a clue what I'm looking at.
: '''Rex:''' What is going on here?
: '''Bobo:''' Don't know, but I wish I'd brought my tanning butter.
: '''Six:''' Cut the chatter.
: '''Rex:''' I would, but ripping on Black Knight is the only thing keeping me from freaking out. This isn't our usual deal. Just make sure Providence doesn't shoot me in my butt while I'm off saving theirs. Huh? So... I smash that? Ohh!
: '''Bobo:''' Coming back around, kid. I think it likes you.
: '''Rex:''' Holiday, what is it, and where do I hit it?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' I don't know. I-- Wait. I'm picking up Bio-organic energy inside the event.
: ''[A mysterious figure came out of the event, Rex immediately responded and then releases his Smack Hands, but the mysterious figure caught Rex's attack and then counter attacked. Thus, sending Rex flying.]''
: '''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Have anything to say for yourself before I commence with the face-stomping?
: '''Humungousaur:''' Yeah. You just made a humungous mistake!
: ''[Humungousaur grunts]''
: ''[Humumgousaur grunts]''
: '''Humungousaur:''' Stay down if you know what's good for you.
: '''Rex:''' I'll show you what I'm good at, feo!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, I'm getting more fluctuations in the event. Something's coming out.
: '''Rex:''' I see it, doc.
: ''[A creature flies out of the portal]''
: '''Humungousaur:''' ''[after being hit]'' You and your partners call it quits right now, and I'll keep the powder rising to a minimum!
: '''Rex:''' I was gonna say the same thing, only in Spanish! ''[hits Humungosaur again]'' ''[Humungosaur goes flying]'' ''[talking to Agent Six]''
: '''Rex:''' You take the hunk of junk, Six! "Big ugly" is mine!
: '''Humungousaur:''' Hmm. You wanna learn the hard way? Lesson one-- Dangerous aliens are not welcome on my planet!
: '''Black Pawn:''' Black Knight, target locked and weapons are charged. Firing on your mark.
: '''Black Knight:''' Keep everything we've got focused on that rift. Nothing else comes out of there. Pawns, get those EVOs alive. I need answers. Caesar--
: '''Caesar:''' The physics are amazing. Like a star in collapse, it-- I'll buzz you back.
: '''Black Knight:''' Don't hang up on me, Caesar. Bring Salazar to me-- Now!
: '''White Knight:''' Hands full? My team is here to help. You'd be well advised to let them.
: '''Black Knight:''' You'd be well advised to get off my screens, White Knight. I'll see you tried for treason.
: '''White Knight:''' While you're filing the paperwork, we'll be saving New York. Join us or stay out of our way!
: ''[Rex coughs]''
: '''Rex:''' You can punch. I'll give you that.
: ''[Humungousaur groans]''
: '''Humungousaur:''' You alien wannabes should know better by now-- Mess with Ben, you get the ten.
: '''Rex:''' Aliens?! The ten?! Great-- Another insane EVO. Providence is all over your energy-weapon whatever, so let's see if I can't knock some normal back into you.
: '''Humungousaur:''' Good luck with that. Ugh!
: '''Rex:''' Okay. That's weird.
: ''[Diamondhead grunts]''
: '''Diamondhead:''' What did you just do to me?
: '''Rex:''' Not sure, but I like it.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Holiday, are you seeing this? "Creature feature" just went bling on me.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Be careful, Rex. This is something we've never seen before.
: ''[Diamondhead grunts]''
: '''Diane Farrah:''' Diane Farrah, broadcasting to you live from what appears to be the end of the world.
: '''Alpha:''' So many of us. What has happened here?
: '''Six:''' Holiday, what am I looking at here?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Preliminary scans say non-organic. It appears to be entirely mechanical. I'll need a closer look.
: '''Six:''' I'll see what I can do.
: ''[Diamondhead coughs]''
: '''Diamondhead:''' Lucky punch.
: '''Rex:''' Don't believe in luck. Now hold still so I can cure you.
: '''Diamondhead:''' You're talking crazy, and I'm not sick. We're wasting time.
: '''Lodestar:''' Metal, meet magnetism.
: '''Rex:''' Magnets, huh? Well, there's no metal in pavement.
: '''Lodestar:''' Aah!
: '''Six:''' It's gone, but I found this.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm not exactly sure what we're looking at here. I don't even know if this is made with an element I've ever seen before. Getting some kind of a residual nanite signature, but this is definitely not an EVO. Caesar-- We could use a little help here. What is it?
: '''Caesar:''' The fragment came from the machine.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Can you tell us anything about it?
: '''Caesar:''' Yes, but not right now.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' For the record, most scientists are not like that.
: '''Alpha:''' Him. Father?!
: '''Six:''' We're not finished yet.
: '''Lodestar:''' Ow!
: '''Rex:''' Huh?!
: '''Rex and Lodestar:''' Time-out! Innocents!
: '''Diane Farrah:''' Thank you. You-- Who are you?
: '''Rath:''' Seriously?! I'm the cat who's all that-- The Rath attack! There are about a hundred other things.
: '''Rex:''' Time-in! Thanks for the assist, but say adios to your nanites for real, El Gato.
: '''Rath:''' Will you stop that?
: '''Rex:''' You... you're not an EVO?!
: '''Rath:''' Let me tell you something, robot boy! I have no clue where an EVO is. I'm just trying to do my thing.
: '''Rex:''' Destroy our city?
: '''Rath:''' Destroy?! You really haven't heard off me?
: '''Ben:''' I'm Ben Tennyson. Ben 10? Like, the biggest hero in the world?
: '''Rex:''' Six!
: '''Six:''' Everybody down!
: '''Rex:''' Six! Six, hold on! Holiday, Six is down! Six is down! This is all your fault! Holiday?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm doing everything I can, Rex. We have to focus on the bigger picture. Six would want us to.
: '''Rex:''' Figures the only time I do what Six would want, he's in a coma.
: '''White Knight:''' I'll be having the pleasure of helping Providence figure out how to close the rift. The rest of you can deal with that machine.
: '''Rex:''' It got blown to bits along with Six, remember?
: '''White Knight:''' Don't be so sure. Someone needs to find out what that is and where it went.
: '''Ben:''' I can do that.
: '''Bobo:''' You-- Ain't doing nothing but sitting pretty and shutting up.
: '''Rex:''' And if Six of them pull through, you won't even be able to do that.
: '''Ben:''' I'm sorry about your friend, honestly. Obviously, he's important to you. But I have no clue what's even happening here. I've never heard of Providence or EVOs or-- One minute I'm doing a TV interview. The next, hole in the ky, flash a light and I'm punching out a mecha monster. Then I end up in a world where nobody knows me.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' He might actually be telling the truth. Ben's nanite absorption level indicates he came through that rift without any.
: '''Rex:''' I thought White Knight was the only living thing on Earth that's nanite-free.
: '''Ben:''' So you mean I have those things in me now? Great. Where's my space suit?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You'll live. Still doesn't explain how you got here.
: '''Ben:''' We're probably looking at a parallel world thing.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Parallel worlds are a theory, and a shaky one at that.
: '''Ben:''' Are you serious? I go home all the time. Maybe if you knew where that mech alien was from, it might help prove--
: '''Rex:''' Quit talking!
: '''Ben:''' Exactly. Nothing's gonna get answered sitting around here.
: '''Rex:''' In case you hadn't noticed, we're holding you under house arrest.
: '''Ben:''' You aren't holding me. I was staying to see how I could help.
: '''Big Chill:''' You aren't the only person worried about someone close to you.
: '''Rex:''' I got this.
: '''White Knight:''' Rex, don't! I hate kids.
: '''Caesar:''' Nanite Cloud. These are being drawn in from the atmosphere. Now where are you? So it is you. This is most disturbing.
: '''Rex:''' Why don't you just go back where you came from?
: '''Big Chill:''' I'm trying to, you do? Oh no.
: '''Rex:''' What?
: '''Ben:''' Mr. Smoothie isn't here. That's messed up.
: '''Rex:''' My partner is in a coma. If you're stressing over a frozen drink, you are totally getting punk-fusted.
: '''Ben:''' We're in Bellwood, my hometown, where it should be. But it's all different. Part of me hoped it wouldn't be, but this pretty much proves it.
: '''Rex:''' This doesn't prove anything!
: '''Ben:''' You know the friend you care about? Well, I have a cousin, a grandfather, a best friend that I care about! They don't exist here! I may never see them again! I'm totally alone! So go ahead! Do your worst.
: '''Rex:''' Maybe we can... help each other.
: '''Ben:''' You'd do that? What's that sound?
: '''Rex:''' My brother.
: '''Ben:''' Is he like you?
: '''Rex:''' Uh, no. Caesar's a little crazy and he's working for the wrong side, but, otherwise, not so bad.
: '''Ben:''' What constitutes "not so bad" here on opposite world?
: '''Caesar:''' No! We need that!
: '''Rex:''' To blow my head off?
: '''Caesar:''' To stop that!
: '''Rex:''' What is that?
: '''Caesar:''' A bad, bad thing.
: '''Alpha:''' Why would you speak of me so, father? I am your Alpha. I came home. You are pleased?
: '''Caesar:''' No. Not especially.
: ''[Caesar grunts]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Alpha:''' What has happened here? Why so many brothers?
: '''Caesar:''' We had an accident.
: '''Alpha:''' The bodies I built, father-- they still do not last. But my brothers are free. I can control them. They could help make me complete. Aah!
: '''Caesar:''' Rex, stay back!
: '''Alpha:''' I am still weak, father. I need more. Will you help me live?
: '''Caesar:''' I don't believe so, Alpha.
: '''Alpha:''' That... is a very disappointing response.
: '''Diamondhead:''' Then you really won't like this one!
: ''[Diamondhead grunts]''
: '''Caesar:''' Don't let it touch him!
: '''Alpha:''' You control nanites, yet you are human. How is this possible? Tell me the secret.
: '''Rex:''' Uh, Caesar... What is that thing? Why did it call you "father"?
: '''Caesar:''' It's migrating. We have to follow it-- Now! These were gathered from the area of the space-time rift, and you'll find them everywhere Alpha goes.
: '''Ben:''' I take it those are nanites?
: '''Caesar:''' Dead nanites, drained by the entity you just fought and, incidentally, the thing that dragged you here from your Earth.
: '''Rex:''' His Earth? He really is from a parallel world?
: '''Ben:''' Science class much?
: '''Caesar:''' I believe it's been searching for a way home. It was possibly attracted to your weapon before it found its way here. A powerful device, no doubt.
: '''Ben:''' It's called the Ultimatrix. It has the DNA of a million aliens.
: '''Rex:''' Ri-i-i-ght. Aliens. And leprechauns gave me these goggles! I'm curious how big brother knows about something from a parallel dimension.
: '''Caesar:''' Because I sent it there. In the early days of the Nanite Program, our goal was simple- - Construct micromachines to cure diseases, grow new cells, regenerate bones. But there was a control issue. Some thought a human-machine link was the answer. Others proposed that the machines could control themselves. I was in the latter camp. I developed the Alpha to command other nanites. To maximize its effectiveness, I had to program Alpha to think for itself.
: '''Ben:''' Does a long explanation mean something bad on your Earth, too?
: '''Rex:''' Yep.
: '''Caesar:''' Alpha developed its own consciousness. It evolved into a unique life form and wanted a body, but whatever it built burnt out. So, when Alpha attempted possessing living things, Alpha had to be eliminated. So, I built a dimensional disruptor.
: '''Ben:''' That sounds like a Null Void gun. We've got those on my Earth, too.
: '''Caesar:''' I designed it to send the Alpha to an empty space where it wouldn't do any more damage. That's what I was attempting to do again-- Until you destroyed it.
: '''Ben:''' But the Null Void isn't empty. It's a prison for intergalactic criminals.
: '''Caesar:''' Hmm. I see. Then, clearly, it found a host within a mechanical one. Alpha did always have a way with machines. It's been gaining mass and energy from machines and other nanites. It's able to stabilize a host body, there's no limit to the amount of damage it can cause.
: '''Rex:''' So, just cook up another bazooka thingy, and let's go zap it!
: '''Caesar:''' Too late for that, Rex! Ilo siento, mijo!
: '''Rex:''' Tell me that's a new weapon! Caesar! Eww! Do... you... have any idea what it smells like in there, dude?
: '''Ben:''' I'm sure you can handle a little arborian musk to save your nuts and bolts... Dude.
: '''Rex:''' Sorry. Thanks. I'm just-- Ugh! This day started off perfectly. Now there's aliens, my partner's in a coma, and my brother's trying to kill me.
: '''Ben:''' Maybe he was trying to protect us. Alpha was right there, and now it's not.
: '''Rex:''' You're one of those glass-half-full guys, aren't you?
: '''Ben:''' Here on "Crazy Earth", why not?
: '''Rex:''' Holiday is Six--?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' He's the same, but the Knights have figured out how to close the Rift. You need to get Mister Ten back to New York if he ever wants to see his home again.
: '''Rex:''' Figures. Just when I almost considered liking you.
: '''Ben:''' Hold on a second. You think I'm leaving you like this? This might not be my Earth, but it's still Earth-- Sort of.
: '''Rex:''' Thanks, but this is my problem, not yours.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, we need you back at base. It's here.
===Heroes United, Part 2===
:'''Alpha:''' Come to me, my siblings.
:''[Dr. Holiday smooches]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I'll be back.
:'''Alpha:''' The nanites in those creatures-- They are different, powerful. Your nanites are weak. I have no use for you. Where is the boy?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' His nanites are off limits!
:''[Dr. Holiday straining]''
:''[Dr. Holiday groans]''
:'''Rex:''' Feel like giving me a hand?
:'''Ben:''' How about four?
:'''Rex:''' I'm starting to like the way you think, Ben 10.
:''[Four Arms grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Alpha:''' You cannot keep me from what I seek.
:'''Rex:''' My brother? Look around! He's not here!
:'''Alpha:''' The father is redundant now that I found you.
:'''Rex:''' Aah!
:'''Alpha:''' I cannot merge! What makes you so special, human? Yes! You shelter an Omega.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex!
:'''Rex:''' Ya-a-a-h! That was my leg!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Your move.
:'''Ben:''' This brother wants to blow you up, and she's your friend? You might be safer on my Earth.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex can lose his builds relatively pain-free.
:'''Ben:''' Are you seriously gonna just wait around?
:'''Rex:''' It wants nanites-- My nanites. Holiday thinks it'll come back for me, but, yeah, I'd rather go after the thing, knock it into another dimension.
:'''Ben:''' But your bio-whatevers need a break. I get it.
:'''Bobo:''' Ya missed.
:'''Ben:''' At least you hit the rim that time.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, thanks.
:'''Ben:''' So, what's happened to you, anyways?
:'''Rex:''' I was gonna ask you the same thing.
:'''Ben:''' It started when the Omnitrix fell out of the sky. I was ten years old.
:'''Rex:''' Six years ago, the Nanite Event changed everything.
:'''Ben:''' And there's alien DNA in the Omnitrix.
:'''Rex:''' And that's how I can build stuff with the micromachines in my body.
:'''Ben:''' Now Kevin, Gwen, and I are the plumbers.
:'''Rex:''' Plumbers? I thought "Providence" was a dumb name.
:''[Rex and Ben laughs]''
:'''Rex:''' Nice assist.
:'''Ben:''' That's how we get it done.
:'''White Knight:''' Satscan just picked up the Alpha. It's at the bug jar.
:'''Rex:''' The bug jar is shielded.
:'''White Knight:''' Not anymore.
:'''Rex:''' So much for waiting. Let's do this!
:''[Ben sniffs]''
:'''Ben:''' Why does my jacket smell like bananas?
:'''Rex:''' Ugh! This feels tight.
:'''Bobo:''' You guys are our best hope? We're doomed.
:'''Ben:''' If this is the bug jar--
:'''Rex:''' Then where are the bugs?
:'''Diamondhead:''' Whoa. What do you call that?
:'''White Knight:''' I call it the entire nanite population of the bug jar.
:'''Alpha:''' The power to change life itself-- What foolishness to give my brothers such a command.
:'''Rex:''' Preaching into the choir, buddy.
:'''White Knight:''' Don't let it get to Rex! If it drains his nanites--
:'''Diamondhead:''' Game over-- Understood.
:'''Rex:''' It already tried to eat me. That didn't work.
:'''White Knight:''' That thing was made to control machines, and until it burns through them, it's got every active nanite in the bug jar at its command. You think you can stop that?
:'''Rex and Diamondhead:''' We can try!
:'''Ben:''' That thing just hacked my watch!
:'''Rex:''' You're going to run out of nanites eventually.
:'''Alpha:''' Incorrect, Thanks to the one thing left on this Earth that can create them-- Your Omega. They thought it could replace me. Now it will make me whole.
:'''Rex:''' Aah! I could use an alien right now!
:''[White Knight screams]''
:'''Ben:''' Great idea, but a certain nanite monster busted my watch!
:'''Rex:''' Do something-- Anything! Do something better!
:'''Ben:''' I could try calling it names!
:'''Rex:''' Let... me... go! Aah!
:''[Rex breathing heavily]''
:'''Rex:''' As long as I fight it, it's like the Alpha and Omega cancel each other out.
:'''Alpha:''' An alternate path is required.
:'''Ben:''' Aah! Stop! He did it again!
:'''Rex:''' No! It's worse!
:'''Alpha:''' Your machine is most interesting. Perhaps within I can find a suitable host.
:''[Alpha Heatblast roars]''
:'''Ben:''' Can he do that?
:'''Rex:''' I think he just did.
:'''Ben and Rex''': Aah!
:'''Ben:''' I think you're really fried at this time. Aah!
:'''Rex:''' Hey! It's me you want.
:'''Alpha Heatblast:''' You presume so much, brother. Organics who rely on machines for their power, I don't need. The machines themselves-- Now, those I will have.
:'''Rex:''' Machines not sold separately, Alfalfa. And stop calling me your brother!
:''[Alpha Four Arms growls]''
:'''Ben:''' Okay. You've got to admit that looks pretty cool. Should I try those insults now?
:''[Alpha Four Arms growls]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah! Ugh!
:''[Shocksquatch roars]''
:'''Shocksquatch''': Wow, this is unexpected.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Well, blast it or something!
:'''Shocksquatch:''' I have no idea what this alien does. I've never seen it before.
:'''Rex:''' You're not filling me with confidence.
:''[Shocksquatch grunts]''
:'''Shocksquatch:''' Ohh, yeah! Ye-e-e-s! Yes! Yes!
:'''Ben:''' No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Oh, man!
:''[Alpha Humungousaur growls]''
:'''Rex:''' Your faceplate's fractured, White. Get out of here before it cracks through.
:'''White Knight:''' Not a chance. Six would have your back. I'm here in his place.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, your biometrics are dangerously low. You need to get away.
:'''Rex:''' Listen to me, Alpha controls nanites. So do I. Why don't I just shut him down?
:'''Ben:''' Hey, Jerk-asaur! You're a loser! Ha! You see that? Hero Time!
:'''Rath:''' Oh, yeah! Let's cause some pain!
:'''White Knight:''' Wait! Not while they're linked!
:'''Rath:''' Oh, you did not just stop me!
:'''Alpha:''' The power you hold is impressive.
:'''Rex:''' You mean the power to kick your butt?
:'''Alpha:''' The power to create machines. You are not worthy of such a gift. The Omega nanite is mine.
:'''Rath:''' Aaah! Take this and this! What do you think of what?!
:''[Alpha-Omega roars]''
:'''Alpha:''' I misguided to place my trust in a father that did not want me. I never needed him. I simply needed the energy and means to do what I have always done-- Evolve.
:'''Ben:''' You okay?
:'''Rex:''' No. Definitely not okay. It took my Omega nanite, and I think I know what I wants.
:'''Alpha:''' Behold, organics... The beginning and the end of all things. I am Alpha-Omega. This is the twilight of humanity. Alpha-Omega destroys all.
:''[Alpha-Omega roars]''
:'''Rex:''' Holiday, are you seeing this?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Unfortunately, yes. We're not looking at random destruction. Alpha is synthesizing the matter around him to build his own nanite.
:'''Rex:''' Thanks to my Omega nanite!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' This isn't your fault, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' Sure feels like it. I woke up this morning on top of the world. Now I'm about to witness the end of it. Six was right.
:'''Ben:''' I don't think this is how it was meant to play out. I've seen what you can do.
:'''Rex:''' My most powerful builds came from the Omega nanite. A lot of people are going to get hurt, and I can't stop it. What happens when the best you can do just... isn't enough?
:'''Ben:''' You get an Upgrade.
:'''Rex:''' Weren't you listening? Alpha has the Omega.
:'''Ben:''' I'm not talking about a nanite.
:''[Transforms into Upgrade]''
:'''Rex:''' Hey! What are you-- ''[Upgrade merges with Rex]'' Whoa! Okay. That feels weird. ''[Upgrade covers Rex's body like a suit]'' Whoa! What supposed to happen now? ''[Upgrade's head appears on Rex's left shoulder]'' Aah! Ohh! Don't do that! You're freaking me out!
:'''Upgrade:''' Build something!
:'''Rex:''' ''[Builds a Smack Arm, which is modified by Upgrade]'' Sa-weet! So, what's the plan?
:'''Upgrade:''' You build stuff, I make it better, fight, fight, fight, we win!
:'''Rex:''' Works for me! ''[Rex builds a Boogie Pack and blasts off]'' WHOO-HOO!
:''[Alpha-Omega roars]''
:'''Rex:''' Ye-e-e-ah!
:'''Upgrade:''' Nice shot, Rex! Run, run, run, run, run, run, run!
:''[Alpha-Omega screams]''
:''[Alpha-Omega roars]''
:'''Rex and Ben:''' Aah! Oof!
:''[Rex and Ben groaning]''
:'''Rex:''' We need a direct hit on the Alpha.
:'''Ben:''' More insults? I've got a good one.
:'''Rex:''' I've got an idea, but you have to trust me. When I fire, you've got to make your roly-poly thing.
:'''Ben:''' You're not thinking of--
:'''Rex:''' Yup.
:'''Ben:''' Isn't that dangerous?
:'''Rex:''' Probably.
:'''Ben:''' On three?
:'''Rex:''' I've officially decided I like you, monster guy.
:'''Ben:''' Same here, robot kid. One--
:'''Rex:''' Two-- Three!
:''[Alpha-Omega roars]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' WOO-HOO! Yeah! Oh, yeah! He shoots! He scores! WHOO! And the crowd goes wild!
:''[Rex imitates crowd cheering]''
:'''Rex:''' Whoa, there, little nanite brothers. Where do you think you're going? Alpha's not the only one who can tell you what to do.
:'''Ben:''' Isn't your Omega Nanite going to be in there, too?
:'''Caesar:''' I'll handle that. Where are you, little guy? Got it! Look! It worked!
:'''Ben:''' And that, my friend, is how you save the world.
:'''Caesar:''' Very clever, little brother. The density of this sphere is over thirty grams per centimeter cubed. It would be extremely difficult for Alpha to slip through the molecules of this, assuming it survived compaction. We need to get rid of it.
:'''Rex:''' Caesar, wait!
:'''Caesar:''' Rex, I wasn't fully able to repair the Void gun. I'm not sure how long my repairs will hold before it discharges. We only get one shot at this, and we have to do it fast. It's now or never, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' How are you going to carry it? That thing must weigh ten tons!
:'''Ben:''' I'm not going to carry it.
:'''Upchuck:''' Let's do this again someday.
:''[Upchuck munching]''
:''[Upchuck gulping]''
:'''Rex:''' Wow! That's just-- Wow! Six?
:'''Bobo:''' He's gone.
:'''Rex:''' ''[Weakly]'' Gone?
:'''Bobo:''' To the little ninja's room.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' He's going to be fine, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' He is?! All right! Yes! Oh, man, I knew it! I knew the whole time!
:''[Rex laughs]''
:'''Rex:''' I mean... cool. I'm glad you're alive!
:'''Six:''' Me too.
:'''Rex:''' I was so scared, Six. I've never done anything so hard in all my life. I really thought the world was going to end, And then I totally kicked butt!
:'''Six:''' I hear you had a little help.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, when his monster watch wasn't conked out. Ben was a cool kid. I wonder if I'll ever see him again.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' With infinite dimensions, the math doesn't work in your favor, Rex.
:'''Bobo:''' Math-- The enemy of all things good.
:'''Six:''' Although-- The cosmos works in mysterious ways. I think certain people are meant to meet, to fight side by side, to be friends. You may see one another sooner than you think.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Caesar?! How did you...?
:'''Caesar:''' Okay. Before White Knight comes looking for me here, one last piece of unfinished business.
:'''Rex:''' You're sure this is the Omega, right? I mean, you didn't grab the Alpha by mistake?
:'''Caesar:''' 100% certain. Well, actually 99.998%. Nothing is 100%.
===Phantom of the Soap Opera===
:'''Rex Salazar:''' In a world he never chose and barely understands... ''[Rex looks over the countryside from a cliff, jumps and lands in a snow scene]'' One incredibly good looking guy fights for us all. His name...you know it baby...Rex. ''[jumps into a lake scene]'' Forget train wrecks... ''[punches]'' And car wrecks... ''[kicks]'' Nothing brings the pain like this Rex. ''[runs into city scene. EVO walks down street, Rex runs up, jumps, grabs EVO's head and tears it off. Holds it over his head in victory gesture.]''
:'''Actor in costume:''' Yeah, yeah, that's hilarious kid.
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Ah, anytime you want to stop trying to get me fired get back to the tour.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Sorry. Got caught up in the moment.
:'''Actor in costume:''' Ah, dude?
:''[Rex puts head back on the man in EVO costume.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' And on your left, the sound stage where they make the hit TV show Middle School Talent show.
:''[Teen girls on tour squeal and run towards it.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' That's a closed set. ''[Noah pulls on his hair]'' C'mon, this is my first week as a page, I could lose my job!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' I got this. ''[pulls girls back from stage with turbines]'' I just don't get girls, how come they get so... ''[notices something behind Noah, acts all excited]'' Huh hu oh huh... oh El Amor de la Pasion del Amor! Why didn't you tell me EADLPDA was made here?
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Um, probably because I didn't really believe you actually still watch a soap opera.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' It's a telenovela. The actresses are smoking hot. And I don't have cable?...ah c'mon dude don't be a hater. ''[crosses arms]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Whatever. We're not going in there, they get like ten safety violations a week, no one's allowed in accept crew and studio staff.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' You mean like pages? ''[Brushes Noah's shoulder with his hand, smiling. Noah brushes his hand away.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' No way. My boss is a total butt-buster for the rules and she is always watching. ''[makes binocular with his hands]''
:'''Head Page:''' You got that right bub. ''[Rex looks behind him, and jumps away]'' By the way Page, you lose something? ''[has three girls from Noah's tour group tied up in a rope]'' Found these wandering over by Middle School Talent Show. ''[Noah runs over and unties them, rope falls]''
:'''Head Page:''' ''[points to her left eye]'' I got my one good eye on you, Nixon.
:''[On set of telenovela]''
:''[Isabella crying]''
:'''Reymundo:''' Pensabas que yo era tu marido. ¡Pero fue una mentira! Pero la verdad es que soy Reymundo, el hermano diabólico de Reynaldo.
:'''Isabella:''' Yo sé, pero todavía te amo.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[standing by salad bar in cafeteria looking up at TV screen]'' How can anyone say that's not great!
:''[Man in cowboy hat tips his hat to Noah]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Whoa? Celebrities know you?
:''[There are drinks on their trays at this point, then in the next frame there are no drinks on their trays and they go over to get drinks.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' The only one here who knows my name is my boss. I'm just a newb on an internship.
:''[Blond girl puts her hand on Noah's shoulder and reaches across him to get a soda, walks away, looks back and gives him a finger gun.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Yeah right, you just got a finger gun from TV weather lady Summer Sonnenshine.
:'''Noah Nixon:''' It's the page jacket not me, if you put this thing on everyone would think you work here. Still. I gotta admit it's pretty cool.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Y'know, I didn't even know you'd applied for this. But I guess when you jump ahead in time you gotta expect some surprises...OH MY GOSH... ''[drops tray]'' It's Isabella, from El Amor del Pasion del Amor.
:''[Rex throws up his arms, knocks tray into Noah's chest spilling it all over his jacket]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' AHHH!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' I know she's even hotter in real life than she is on the...
:'''Noah Nixon:''' ''[looks down at tray and jacket]'' Ohhhhh...
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Okay, okay don't worry...
:'''Head Page:''' ''[yelling at another page behind Rex]'' You call yourself a page!
:'''Rex:''' Okay worry. ''[puts his fingers together]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' This is a huge violation of the dress code, oh I am so fired!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' No you're not. Come on, move!
:''[They run to a supply closet.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' I've gotta lead another tour in forty-five minutes. We can't get to a dry cleaners and back in forty-five minutes.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' This is my bad, but I can fix this. ''[Noah panicking, rocking and hyperventilating]'' We just have to calm down and think. Just calm down. ''[Rex points at Noah]'' Noah, calm down!
:''[Rex grabs a bottle of pickles off the shelf, opens the lid and throw contents of jar at Noah's head. A pickle ends up in Noah's mouth, he spits it out.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Not helping. ''[Noah, calm now and not hyperventilating and rocking, wipes pickle juice out of his eyes.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Okay, listen we passed the wardrobe department on the tour, they've gotta have a washer and dryer right?
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Uh... yeah, I guess?
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Alright, good, give me your outfit and stay put, I'll take care of everything else.
:''[Scene change. Sign which says laundry stages commissary.]''
:''[Rex runs towards laundry, passes stage of telenovela. Grins and stops. Looks into open door. Looks down at soiled jacket. Up at stage doorway. Walks away. Runs back and grins bigger. Walks into stage with Noah's jacket on.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Uh--
:'''Isabella:''' Finally! You are here!
:''[Isabella kisses Rex all over his face.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' This is happening, right? I'm not going to wake up and be making out with my pillow again am I?
:'''Isabella:''' Come with me, they want to cancel us you know. That's why the studio puts us here in this place falling apart with all the accidentes.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Soap operas do not get the respect they deserve.
:'''Isabella:''' You are very wise for your age. We don't even go backstage anymore. Too dangerous.
:''[A silhouette of a rat is seen, it squeaks]''
:'''Beatriz:''' Is that our page?
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Uh...
:''[Rex falls]''
:'''Isabella:''' He's mine, I saw him first!
:''[Rex gets up and Isabella grabs him.]''
:'''Isabella:''' He is mine!!!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Hum?
:'''Beatriz:''' Why don't we let him decide?
:'''[Rex is being pulled back and forth]''
:'''Isabella:''' You would like that wouldn't you?
:'''Beatriz:''' Yes I would! Very much.
:'''Isabella:''' Fine.
:''[Girls growl at each other and walk away.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[grinning]'' Did they just cat-fight over me?
:''[The girls come back with lists.]''
:'''Isabella:''' Here is a list of what I need you to do!
:'''Beatriz:''' And here's mine!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' You want me to work on the show?
:'''Beatriz:''' Claro que si, we haven't had a page on set in ages.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' But I'm not ... ''[looks over the girls]'' ...able to think of one reason why I would pass this up.
:''[Screen cuts to Noah looking out the door. He sees the chief page and closes the door quickly, after that, the scene changes back to Rex carrying boxes of water with yogurt on top.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' I got your yogurt, but I couldn't find the water you wanted. So I got these.
:'''Isabella:''' You are dead to me! But I will take this one. ''[takes yogurt]''
:''[Rex stares in shock and drops the boxes full of water.]''
:''[Old man walks in a dressing room, and Reynaldo comes out soon later.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Whoa, it's Reynaldo! Uh, coffee? ''[offers him a mug of coffee]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' Gracias.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Leche?
:'''Reynaldo:''' How dare you! I am lactose intolerant.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Uh, okay, didn't know that. Sugar?
:''[Reynaldo knocks the sugar out of his hand.]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' Real men take their coffee strong and hot. Are you suggesting that I am not a real man?
:''[Rex looks around and the phone rings.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Rex, where are you?
:'''Reynaldo:''' No phone! ''[Reynaldo knocks the phone out of his hand.]'' You will talk to me face to face. Mano a mano! ''[grabs Rex's jacket]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey wait what are you... ''[Reynaldo pulls Rex away from table. Stage light falls where Rex was standing]'' ...Oh, thanks!
:''[Everyone runs up to them.]''
:'''Beatriz:''' Not another accidente!
:'''Isabella:''' ''[scared]'' Ay. Dios mio! No!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' It's okay, I'm fine.
:'''Isabella:''' ''[pushes Rex down]'' My jogurt!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' I'd hate to be the guy that has to clean that up... ''[whispers to man though they look at him]'' Oh. ''[Reynaldo hands him the mop.]''
:'''Beatriz:''' If I didn't know better, I'd say that someone was trying to kill us.
:'''Reynaldo:''' Someone is. The head of the studio is trying to kill our soap opera. That's why he put us in this accursed stage, with all these accidentes. But we... ''[another stage light falls and hits his head, he falls to the ground]'' Aahh... Por que? Ay.
:''[Rex looks up and sees a mongoose...runs after it...goes backstage. Sees clowns and a sign saying “Mongo”.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Ugh! Clowns.
:''[The mongoose squeaks.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Lemme guess. You're the one who's been causing all the accidents.
:''[Mongo growls, bears teeth]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Okay, let's say we can wrap this up quietly. Last thing I need is someone wondering why the guy in the page jacket can do this. ''[wraps Mongo up in the whip thing, Mongo gets tiny, escapes, growls]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Guess that explains how you've been able to hide out back here. ''[Mongo pulls lever cannon comes out of floor and fires at Rex. Platform falls Rex dodges. Mongo squeaks]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Can we please do this a little more quietly and with a lot less YOU trying to kill me?
:''[Mongo jumps into the “O” of his name on the sign.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Wait, that's you, isn't it? You just want your job back. I can help you. ''[reaches in and tries to cure him Mongo runs out and traps Rex's hand]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Enough with the booby traps, I'm trying to help you. ''[Mongo sets off another trap]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Uh-oh. [makes big fist, weight on rope swings and hits Rex, makes noise]
:'''Beatriz:''' What's going on back there?
:'''Isabella:''' Where is that page? I am beginning to wonder ...HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR HIM TO CLEAN UP MY JOGURT!!!!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[Getting thrown around back stage]'' Ouch. ''[gets beat up by mechanical clowns]''
:''[Mongo cuts stars from ceiling they fall and cut Rex's jacket]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Ok, New plan-- First I smash your face, then I cure you.
:''[Mongo knocks over equipment]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' No. ''[grabs equipment, Mongo jumps on his arm, punches him and he falls]'' Oww! Look out!
:''[Actors run from set, Rex falls and smashes set]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Uhh, okay here's the deal—all the accidents you've been having they were caused by an EVO backstage. It used to be a mongoose and now it wants it's old job back. ''[last wall of stage set falls behind him]''
:'''Beatriz:''' What are jou talking about?
:'''Isabella:''' We just saw you ruin our set.
:'''Reynaldo:''' You are trying to destroy this soap opera just like the rest of them! It is true what they say, this sound stage must be cursed for us to have such a horrible page such as you, Senior... ''[looks at name badge]'' Noah Nixon.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Whoa, wait. This isn't Noah's fault.
:''[Three actors gasps]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' ''[tears off his own shirt]'' Now you insult us by talking about yourself in the third person! Somehow we must rebuild and finish our shoot! But as soon as we do, Noah Nixon, I will have you fired!
:''[Workers fixing set, Rex's phone rings.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Rex! Finally. How's the jacket?
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Umm. Well, the good news is you won't notice the stain anymore. Hey uh, by the way, your page training, did it include anything about the creepy backstage in studio B?
:'''Noah Nixon:''' What? Why are you--
:'''Rex Salazar:''' No reason. I was just thinking, hypothetically, what would happen if I used your jacket to take a quick peek at the telenovela and ended up chasing some killer EVO mongoose? Hypothetically... Uh...Noah?
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Sorry, just trying to figure out how to tell my parents I have no future.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey I got this. I hit a little snag. Just keep your pants on.
:'''Noah Nixon:''' ''[sitting the maintenance closet in his underwear]'' Heh!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Sorry, look, you don't have anything to worry about all I have to do is catch the EVO before they finish shooting and clear my... your name.
:'''Noah Nixon:''' You know what? I'm not worried. I am completely resigned to the fact that I am losing my job. ''[Noah hangs up on Rex. Rex hears dial tone.]''
:'''Beatriz:''' ''[to Reynaldo]'' You are bleeding!
:'''Reynaldo:''' What I am is an actor! We must shoot this scene. We cannot let them cancel us! ''[moans and falls on his face crushing a chair]''
:'''Beatriz:''' You cannot go on.
:'''Isabella:''' If only there were someone else here who knows our show, is fluent in Spanish, and will do a scene in which he kisses me.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' I'll do it!!!
:'''Reynaldo:''' You? The one who ruined our set and lied about the EVO? I'd rather die! But then, my life will surely end if the show is canceled, so maybe... But no! It's impossible. But yet, what is more impossible than a dream. Nothing means more than my dream of saving this telenovela!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' So, is that a--
:'''Reynaldo:''' Si. You will be our savior. And then I will have you fired. Accion!
:''[Rex is dressed as Reynaldo. Takes Isabella in his arms and looks deep into her eyes, smiles..then turns away, sees Mongo and gasps. Isabella pulls his face back to her and puckers for a kiss. Mongo squeaks and runs out the door and Rex turns his eyes towards it.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[thinking]'' Okay no kiss, but you're gonna save Noah's job! ''[groans]'' Nope. Doesn't make it any better. ''[Runs out Isabelle runs after him, trips on his wig and falls to the ground gasping, reaching after him]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[makes Rex Ride to chase Mongo down alley. Runs into a set. Falls]'' Where'd you go?
:'''Guy in suit:''' You! Page! Take this script to post, pronto.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey wait, I'm not--
:'''Guy in suit:''' Oh? You're not going to do it? Are you talking back to me Mr.... Nixon?
:'''Rex Salazar:''' No. Mr. Nixon is not definitely not talking back to whoever you are. ''[takes script, leaves]''
:'''Guy in suit:''' Nixon! ''[Points in the other direction of where Rex was going. Rex goes where he's pointing]''
:''[Rex walks by alley hears Mongo munching garbage, sneaks up, tries to cure it. It escapes, Rex corners it in dead end alley]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Oh you're not so tough when you can't hide, are you? ''[Mongo growls and grows huge]'' Oh so you can do that too. ''[Mongo roars, swipes at Rex with claws]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey, watch the jacket. I'm in enough trouble already. ''[Sets down scripts. Big fists. Mongo shrinks to escape. Rex falls to the ground. Mongo gets huge again behind him, tries to stomp on Rex, Rex rolls out of the way, Mongo shrinks and runs away, Rex climbs out of hole in ground breathing heavily and falls to ground.]''
:'''Guy in suit:''' ''[walks up]'' Are you kidding me? You still haven't delivered that script? ''[Rex runs off]''
:'''Guy in suit:''' Nixon! ''[points in other direction, Rex runs that way]''
:''[Mongo jumps off roof grows huge lands on Rex, grabs script.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey, gimme that! ''[grabs Mongo with big fist throws him into a stage building]''
:''[Rex looks in the hole into the stage.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Sorry. ''[runs off after Mongo]''
:''[Mongo throws him higher than the roof tops, Rex lands on big feet, Mongo tackles him. Rex lands in front of the post building, grabs remains of script out of Mongo's mouth. Mongo runs away, Rex gathers script remains and hands it to man at post door.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' I think this is for you. ''[runs after Mongo]''
:''[Phone rings]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Did you catch it?
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Not yet, but I delivered a script for you, well, most of it.
:'''Noah Nixon:''' I am so dead.
:'''Lady with clipboard:''' ''[grabs Rex by the collar]'' Noah Nixon, you're right on time for your two p.m. tour. ''[Gives Rex clipboard and keys]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[Driving tram with tourists]'' Uh, there's a building where some TV shows are made and there's another one and oh great there's the giant killer EVO.
:''[Mongo chasing tram, Rex steps on gas. Tram goes sloooow. Mongo attacks tram. Rex lands, catches tourists with big hands, flies off on hoverboard]''
:'''Tourist:''' They had better special effects at my kids' school play.
:''[Back on soap opera stage]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' I need a bigger reaction from you. Bigger!
:''[Rex crashes through ceiling with Mongo hanging on the bottom of his hoverboard, heading towards Isabella.]''
:''[Isabella screams and covers head, Mongo crashes into set]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' Yes! That's it exactly!
:''[Mongo growls]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Be careful or you're gonna get the hand. ''[big fists with right hand. Mongo jumps at him, Rex grins and raises his left hand and cures Mongo. Mongo lays on ground cute and unconscious.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' That's not the hand I meant.
:''[Actors, stunned, applaud]''
:''[Rex picks up Mongo.]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' You are a good page, Noah Nixon.
:''[Mongo wakes up runs around on Rex and perches on his shoulder cutely.]''
:''[At supply closet with Noah, Rex walks in holding torn up jacket]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Oh, my jacket! ''[Cuddles jacket, then holds it up and glares at Rex through the hole in it. Rex grins guiltily.]''
:''[Head Page walks in, Noah hides jacket, then realizes he is in underwear and tries to hide himself behind jacket.]''
:'''Head Page:''' I got a dozen calls from all over the lot about you, Nixon. I don't know what you were thinking. ''[He sits down, sweat runs down his face, he closes his eyes, frowns, runs head away. Head page grabs him and hugs him.]''
:'''Head Page:''' I'm proud of you, kiddo! It took me sixty seven years to make chief page. I bet you'll get the job in half that time. ''[Noah stands up holding jacket in front of him. Rex and Noah look puzzled Head Page walks to door, turns back]''
:'''Head Page:''' Oh and them soap opera fellas, eh, they got a special reward for you. ''[they look at each other with puzzled frowns]''
:''[Telenovela stage, Noah dressed as Reynaldo. Isabella kisses him.]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' And cut! You look differante than you did before, Noah Nixon. ''[Noah looks up at his blond eyebrows and takes off the wig and mustache. Smiles at Reynaldo. Reynaldo looks at him thoughtfully.]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' I can see you've been to makeup. Good you finally look like a real man! ''[Noah smiles.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' [peeking in from backstage, makes a jealous face as Noah is laughing together with the actors.] It's okay, it's okay. You're a good friend, you're a good friend.
:'''Guy in suit:''' You! Quit talking to yourself and get me some coffee! ''[Rex runs off]'' Nixon!
:''[Mongo looking down from rafters]''
===Riddle of the Sphinx===
:'''Egyptian Guide:''' They uncovered the tunnel during routine sewer work. No one has set foot in here in over 3.500 years.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Providence doesn't work the location yet?
:'''Egyptian Guide:''' ''[laughs]'' The antiquities comission does not like this Black Knight. They keep her busy with much paperwork.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The maze looks like it extends for miles. They do that to keep looters out?
:'''Egyptian Guide:''' Or to keep something in.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Anything that was trapped in here couldn't be alive after all this time.
:'''Egyptian Guide:''' I-I-I must go.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''': Watch out! Bobby traps.
:'''Egyptian Guide:''' That's not what I'm afraid of.
:'''Bobo:''' It's only been a few days since we heard from Holiday.
:'''Six:''' Something's wrong.
:'''Bobo:''' Maybe she wanted a vacation from you clowns. "Something's wrong."
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Providence! She in is trouble.
:'''Six:''' Black Knight. And she has your better half.
:'''Bobo:''' I'm predictin' an awkward situation.
:'''Black Knight:''' Hello, Rex. If you came for your friend, I'll have to disappoint you.
:'''Rex:''' That hairy creep? You can keep the traitor. Hey! My faithful guide, why don't you go away while we discuss business?
:'''Bobo:''' It's me, you dopey tin can! Beat it! Or the boss lady's gonna get wise to our little switcheroo.
:'''Rex:''' What's the campout for?
:'''Black Knight:''' Routine scientific research.
:'''Rex:''' Look, I know Holiday was here. What'd you do with her?
:'''Black Knight:''' We arrived an hour ago. The locals say Holiday unleashed a monster down in the tunnels. The situation's under control. As soon as we've secured the tunnels, I'll send a team in to see if she's still alive.
:'''Rex:''' I'm going with you.
:'''Black Knight:''' You're going nowhere. You quit Providence. Unless you're recosindering?
:'''Rex:''' Come on, guide. Holiday's in those tunnels. But Black Knight has a whole battalion of Providence goons guarding the entrance.
:'''Six:''' I figured she'd be no help. That's why I found someone who knows a back way in.
:'''Egyptian Cooker:''' The Kushari is healthy. For the stomach, good.
:'''Rex:''' Enough about the Kushari! Where's the back entrance?
:'''Egyptian Cooker:''' For so young, you in such a hurry. And old cook like me, I live by selling Kushari. Why not buy some? You buy, I give you more information.
:'''Bobo:''' Ah, come on. Stop bein' so stingy. Buy some more.
:'''Six:''' Where's the back entrance?
:'''Egyptian Cooker:''' The sewer man-- They came to fix a leak. They found the tunnel to the entrance in my basement.
:'''Bobo:''' Mmm!
:'''Rex:''' Way cool! Maybe we'll see some mummies!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Tell us where Holiday is!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Where do you think I am?
:'''Six:''' Holiday!
:'''Bobo:''' So, what's with the halloween get up, doc?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I found it in one of the chambers. Scares off the curious. I need to get to the bottom of all this before Black Knight.
:'''Rex:''' The bottom of what? This is all ancient history?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' You can this ancient history?
:'''Rex:''' That looks like a nanite!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' That's because it is a nanite.
:'''Six:''' How could they have knowledge back then?
:'''Rex:''' Aliens! Like the ones that built the pyramids.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' None of this is more advanced that the 21st century. It's not aliens. I think the answers lie behind this door. But I can't figure out how to open it.
:'''Rex:''' Open the door? No problem, Doc!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Stop! This whole place is booby-trapped. We open this wrong, they'll bring the tunnels down on us.
:'''Rex:''' If there's a wrong way to open it, then that means there's a right way, too. Maybe the nanite picture is a clue. The whole thing is rigged like one. Told you-- No prob. Whoa, mumies.
:'''Bobo:''' What are you lookin' at, beautiful?
:'''Rex:''' Ha! Awesome! I'd love to see the look on Knight's face when she finds out we've beat her here.
:'''Black Knight:''' Then let me step a little closer so you can see.
:'''Six:''' How'd you find us?
:'''Black Knight:''' Your mole helped me.
:'''Bobo:''' Sorry, pal.
:'''Black Knight:''' I should have known better. It's old junk from the dead.
:''[Black Knight gasps]''
:'''Guranset:''' Gharun Set is not dead.
:'''Rex:''' Put her down!
:'''Black Knight:''' This isn't the time for violence. Our host has forgotten his manners. I presume he hasn't had guests in a long time.
:'''Guranset:''' Almost an eternity. Gharun Set said has waited for his release. Awaken this cursed prison through the ages.
:'''Black Knight:''' You speak English. That is interesting. Who taught your own language, Gharun Set?
:'''Guranset:''' I was taught by the great father.
:'''Black Knight:''' Father? What did he look me?
:'''Guranset:''' He is dead-- As all of you soon shall be!
:'''Black Knight:''' Now's the time for violence.
:'''Guranset:''' Aah!
:'''Black Knight:''' A nanite disrupter. Something I had your brother's lab whip up. It's quite lethal.
:'''Rex:''' Looks like the lab forgot to tell him that.
:'''Guranset:''' The boy controls the engines of life? It can't be. I laid low the armies of six kingdoms, swordsman. You think your tiny blades can stop me?
:'''Rex:''' Try this one for size!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex!
:'''Rex:''' Huh?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' His staff is a nanite disrupter. Get it away from him.
:'''Rex:''' Easier said than done!
:'''Guranset:''' Haah!
:'''Rex:''' Oh, mummies!
:'''Bobo:''' Yeah, yeah, you got your mummies. I hope you're happy!
:'''Six:''' Rex! We can handle this! He's getting away!
:'''Guranset:''' One last trap to keep me imprisoned, father. Nothing will keep me from my destiny! You serve his plan, child, and don't even know it.
:'''Rex:''' Everybody talk weird in ancient Egypt, or it is just your special thing? Uh... are they supposed to do that?
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Guranset:''' Finally! I am free!
:'''Six:''' These EVO's won't say dead.
:'''Bobo:''' Their breath stinks, too! Ah, boy!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' You could thank me for saving your life.
:'''Black Knight:''' Dr. Holiday, our lives are not safe yet.
:'''Guranset:''' I am not alone. Together, we shall reconquer this land, and then.. the world!
:'''Rex:''' Uh, I think the sun's baked him loopy. You can't reanimate that. It's a statue.
:'''Guranset:''' This is not statue, child. It is a tomb. Arise, my mighty steed. Arise, my sphinx!
:'''Rex:''' Providence, this is Rex. You may want to evacuate Cairo.
:'''Guranset:''' This city is a blight upon my kingdom. All shall be as it once was.
:'''Rex:''' I'm warning you, Gharun Set-- I don't want to have to get rough with you. Step off the pussycat.
:'''Guranset:''' You presume to tell a pharaoph what to do. Be gone!
:'''Six:''' Holiday. There's something I want to tell you before it's too late.
:'''Bobo:''' Ugh. Hold still! Oh, no.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' All of them. Like the nanites keeping them alive... self-destructed? I'm sorry. What were you going to say?
:'''Six:''' Holiday... I, uh...
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hold that thought.
:'''Bobo:''' What's it gonna be, the kooky chicks or we go help Rex save the world?
:'''Six:''' Rex probably has this under control. Holiday needs my-- our help.
:'''Bobo:''' Yeah, I can't resist a good catfight either.
:'''Rex:''' Let me handle! This it's too dangerous!
:'''Pilot:''' Black Knight, target sighted. It's riding a 50-foot-tall house cat. Please advise.
:'''Black Knight:''' Do not harm. Contain and capture. We need that specimen.
:''[Black Knight gasps]''
:'''Black Knight:''' Pilot disregard. Last order. Target no longer needed. Destroy. Repeat-- Destroy.
:'''Pilot:''' You're with the lady. Lock and load.
:'''Rex:''' Huh? Whoa! Get out of here! I don't know what he's up to, but it's not good.
:'''Garunset:''' Behold the majesty of my dream. My kingdom! My paradise!
:'''Rex:''' Whoa!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' What is this place?
:'''Black Knight:''' It's the stuff of legends. The fabled hall of records which lay hidden beneath where the sphinx once was.
:'''Bobo:''' "Was"?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' This can't be! That's the helix splitter. And that looks like a nano-flux inducer. Caesar built the first prototype of one last year.
:'''Black Knight:''' I can't let you touch any of this. It's too unstable with age. When you blundered in the tomb, you set off a safeguard. Someone thought this room too dangerous for the world to know about.
:'''Bobo:''' Agreed. Let's scram!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' We can't! Don't you know what this means to science? The knowledge in here is invaluable. It cannot be lost-- Again!
:'''Black Knight:''' It won't be! Now that we know where it is, we can dig it out later. We will study it. I promise you that.
:'''Six''': Holiday. Let it go.
:'''Guranset''': As father promised-- I will rule forever.
:'''Rex''': Forever is gonna be shorter than you think.
:'''Guranset''': No! Nooooo!
:'''Rex''': Aw, come on! I didn't hit you that hard!
:''[Guranset gasps]''
:'''Rex''': What's happening to you?
:''[Guranset gasps]''
:'''Guranset''': Aaaaaaaaah!
:''[Guranset grunts]''
:'''Guranset''': Do not touch your pharaoh.
:'''Rex''': You need help. Your nanites are dying of old age-- I think. It's like starting an old car. Uh, o-or a camel. Let me help you. I can fix your nanites, and then maybe--
:'''Guranset''': Lies!
:'''Rex''': You're in a strange time, a strange place. We have science, machines. We can help you. Trust us.
:'''Guranset''': Like you trust the woman you call Black Knight? I see now this is a world of lies. You and I have no place in it. Father told me of you... Rex.
:'''Rex:''' What? How do you know my--
:'''Guranset''': I would have helped the world. Ended the hunger, the wars. But now he will return. Avenge me. ''[Echoing]'' I see now this is a world of lies. You and I have no place in it.
<hr width80/>
:'''Black Knight:''' You wanted something?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The hall of records-- You can't keep it a secret. It must be studied. That hall--
:'''Black Knight:''' What hall?
:'''Rex:''' Why'd you do that?! Holiday said--
:'''Black Knight:''' Some secrets are best left buried under the sands, Rex.
:''[Dr. Holiday grunts]''
:'''Black Knight:''' Gentleman. Dr. Holiday.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six, what'd you want to tell me back in the tomb?
:'''Six:''' It can wait.
:'''Rex:''' Don't wait too long.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' All those priceless artifacts. And we still don't know who created Gharun Set.
===Guy vs. Guy===
:''[Rex moans]''
:''[Rex shouts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Huh?
:''[Noah laughs]''
:'''Noah:''' WHOO! Oh, yeah!
:'''Rex:''' Noah?
:'''Noah:''' Gotcha!
:'''Rex:''' This means war.
:'''Noah:''' Hey, tanner! What's up, Chris? Noelle, how's it going? You'll have to do better than that, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' I'm gonna get you, Noah. That's a promise.
:'''Noah:''' Aren't you forgetting something?
:'''Rex:''' Aah!
:''[Rex laughter]''
:'''Noah:''' Gotcha. Rex, I'm prank master supreme. Save yourself some pain and admit defeat.
:'''Rex:''' Never. I will get you!
===Double Vision===
: ''[The episode starts as a butterfly flies through plants in a flower shop. Suddenly, Rex is thrown into the shop window, making nearby civilians run away. Rex gets up and looks out of the broken glass, seeing a beastly plant EVO, a few people watching, and Agent Six slashing his swords around to evade the EVO's tentacles.]''
: '''Rex:''' ''[Pants and brushes leaves off his sleeve and puts on goggles.]'' Not bad!
: ''[Uses the Punk Busters to jump out of the shop and generates his Smack Hands to uppercut the EVO, causing it to crash into a nearby building.]'' But I'm better!
: ''[The EVO gets out of the glass windows and roars, attacking Agent Six.]''
: '''Agent Six:''' ''[Cuts off a tentacle and walks towards Rex.]'' Talk is cheap, Rex. Prove it.
: '''Rex:''' ''[Generating the Smack Hands.]'' No problemo.
: ''[The EVO rushes towards Rex, unfortunately, Rex grabs it and slams it onto the ground. A random girl is driving up the road on a moped. However, she is stopped as the EVO blocks the path.]''
: '''Rex:''' ''[Putting his hands up to assure the girl.]'' Nothing to worry about, I've got this handled. ''[Turns to EVO, whom is still on the floor.]'' Okay big guy, say adiós to those nasty nanites.
: '''Rex:''' ''[Rex kneels down to cure the EVO, flowers spout out of the EVO]'' Aw, for me? Does this mean we're dating?
: ''[Suddenly, the flowers shoot out some goo into Rex's face, making him slam onto the floor, a crowd forms around the battle.]''
: '''Rex:''' ''[Yelps while getting up and pulls his goggles off and wipes the goo off his face.]'' Oh, that's better. ''[He gives his goggles to the random female on the moped]'' Hey! Watch these for me. ''[Runs back into battle and generates the Punk Busters and kicks the blacked out EVO over a building.]'' Goal! Hey thanks for holding onto my...huh?...
: ''[Rex turns around to see the girl missing from the crowd. Deforming his Punk Busters, he spots the girl riding away on her moped. She turns to look back at Rex, appearing to have on his goggles.]''
: '''Rex:''' Goggles!
: ''[Rex puts one of his hands up to signal for her to wait, but the EVO returns and wraps its tentacle around Rex's neck. The EVO twists Rex in mid-air in the sky for a minute before slamming him onto the cement. Rex gets up and sees the goggle girl riding away out of sight.]''
: '''Rex:''' Hey! You've got my...ungh...goggles... Aah! Ungh! Did you see that girl?! She stole my goggles!
: '''Agent Six:''' Priorities, Rex.
: '''Rex:''' They are my priority, Six. I can pound EVOs any day. Those goggles are-- Ah, great. Who invited her?
: '''Black Knight:''' Stand down, gentlemen. We've got this covered.
: '''Rex:''' We don't need any help. Whoa! Whoa! Ungh!
: '''Black Knight:''' Obviously. Control collar-- Now. We'll take it from here.
: '''Rex:''' Take it from whe-e-re?! I've already got this under contro-o-o-o-l! Whoa! Ugh! Let me try to cure it.
: '''Black Knight:''' The new Providence protocol is to confine, constrain and control. If curing is an option, it will be considered-- At my discretion.
: '''Rex:''' Control? I can cure it now and end this.
: '''Black Knight:''' The offer still stands. If you want to come back to Providence, you can continue your mission.
: '''Rex:''' I have my mission!
: '''Black Knight:''' Curing every EVO on Earth isn't a mission, Rex. It's an impossibility.
: '''Rex:''' Watch me.
: '''Black Knight:''' Everybody back! Contain those seedlings!
: '''Rex:''' You just made it worse! Now I've got to clean up your mess. Starting with this guy. See? Fearing works!
: '''Black Knight:''' It was your actions that exacerbated this situation. I want full containment and control over those seedlings. Move out-- Now.
: '''Agent Six:''' While you were arguing, Holiday found another sprout. Let's go deal with that before Providence does.
: '''Rex:''' But-- My goggles!
: '''Agent Six:''' Focus, Rex. We've got work to do.
: '''Rex:''' Nice work!
: '''Agent Six:''' Drop in the bucket. Look below.
: '''Rex:''' Wow. And I thought I'd be able to knock off early today.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' On the contrary, Rex. By overlaying current worldwide wind patterns on top of international population centers, we're looking at total global infestation within thirty-eight hours.
: '''Bobo:''' Ooh, that's a lot of roughage.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' I need to get in the field and obtain some live samples. Bobo and I will meet you at the rendezvous point in the mobile command center.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, doc. We're almost there. Hey! It's that girl! Wh-o-o-o-oa!
: '''Agent Six:''' What's gotten into you, Rex?
: '''Rex:''' My goggles-- I can't see without them!
: '''Agent Six:''' Obviously, you can see without them.
: '''Rex:''' Well, yeah, but I really need them a lot of the time. Don't you remember when I first got them?
: '''Agent Six:''' Actually, no.
: '''Rex:''' Oh. Sorry. My bad. It was early on, when I was just learning to control my powers. Whoa!
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Rex:''' Aaaah! Aah! Aaaaah! Oof!
: '''Agent Six:''' Horse manure.
: '''Rex:''' This is exactly why I need my goggles! Hey! I thought this thing was just a sprout!
: '''Agent Six:''' It's the nature of plants to grow.
: '''Rex:''' Hm. Very Zen of you, Six. Well, it's the nature of me to kick EVO butt! Whoa! Oof! Yuck! This stuff really stinks!
: '''Agent Six:''' All yours.
: '''Rex:''' Ta-da! And for my next trick... Oh, and look who's late to the party.
: '''Black Knight:''' ''[Entering]'' Alpha team, I want you to lay down suppressive fire and--
: ''[Realizing the EVOs not there]''
: '''Black Knight:''' Belay that. Sit Ops, I was told we had a Class-Three EVO situation here. Where is the EVO?
: '''Rex:''' ''[Rex hands her flowers]'' Sorry. This is all that's left. Six, are we good here? I've got to run.
: '''Agent Six:''' I'd put those in water.
: '''Black Knight:''' Unh!
: '''Rex:''' Slow down! I just want to-- Ungh!
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex:''' Huh? What?! No way! Hey! You've got my-- Ugh! Whoa! ...Goggles.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You've got bigger problems than a girl on a scooter, Rex. First a flower shop, then gardening supplies. It's getting hungrier. Gentlemen, I suggest you get to the sewage-treatment plant as quickly as possible.
: '''Rex:''' Huh? Why?
: '''Agent Six:''' Fertilizer, Rex, as in if those sprouts chow down on that much raw nourishment, we're in some deep...
: ''[Plant EVO bursts through a nearby wall]''
: '''Rex:''' ...Horse maneure. Hungry? Eat this!
: '''Agent Six:''' Holiday, get to the sewage plant. We'll meet you there after we clean up.
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Clean up? I'd rather make a mess! Shoulda brought my chainsaw.
: '''Agent Six:''' Shoot the seedlings!
: '''Rex:''' Huh? Okay, this time I'm going to--
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Hey! Wait! Aw, man! Back off!
: ''[Rex panting]''
: '''Bobo:''' You went a little nuts there, buddy. I like it! But... Goggles?
: '''Rex:''' That EVO interrupted before I could finish the story.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Agent Six:''' Here, kid. Try these on.
: '''Rex:''' Um, so I can look like a total doofus?
: '''Agent Six:''' You have no idea how unique these goggles are, Rex. A reclusive weaponsmith in Zurich crafted this single pair before he turned EVO.
: '''Rex:''' Really? And then what happened to him?
: '''Agent Six:''' I did. He won't be crafting any more goggles.
: '''Rex:''' Cool!
: '''Agent Six:''' These are one-of-a-kind, Rex-- Special, for you.
: '''Bobo:''' What a bunch of chimp chips! Those goggles are-- Whoa!
: '''Rex:''' Wow. That is a lot of rampaging EVO.
: '''Bobo:''' Yeah. Lucky holiday-- She's right in the thick of it.
: '''Rex:''' Lucky?
: '''Bobo:''' She gets to try out all the special modifications I made to that sweet ride.
: ''[Dr. Holiday grunts]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Plant EVO has Holiday trapped inside the Mobile Command Center]'' Okay. Let's see how you like 10,000 volts of--
: ''[Holiday presses a button, and music starts playing]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Bobo's mix tape?! Who puts the stereo next to the weapons system?! One more time-- Big red button. Always go for the big red button. Unless you don't want to drain the batteries to zero.
: ''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Bobo, your improvements could use some improvements. Rex, if you're not too busy, I'd appreciate a little assistance.
: '''Bobo:''' Hey, ain't that your girlfriend?
: '''Agent Six:''' She can take care of herself, right, Rex?
: '''Rex:''' Right-- For now.
: ''[Dr. Holiday gasps]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' That's more like it. Ungh! Fine! Let's see how you like this! I don't know what you just did, Rex, but thanks. Rex?
: '''Black Knight:''' I admit our last encounter didn't end well, but I think we need to work together on this one.
: '''Rex:''' You want to work together? We left Providence, remember?
: '''Black Knight:''' Rex--
: '''Rex:''' What happened to "stay out of my way"?
: '''Black Knight:''' Rex!
: '''Rex:''' So now when you need somebody to take out your trash, you can just forget that I quit your crummy organization?
: '''Black Knight:''' Yes, Rex, I can, because I don't let my emotions guide my choices. I only want what's best for Providence-- And the world.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, cool. Just wanted to hear you say it. Aah!
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, the EVO is too big to cure without getting to its core.
: '''Rex:''' Yeah, well, I'm not doing much good out here!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' All those vines, the seedlings, everything-- They're just puppets to the plant. Stop those nanites in the core, and you cut the strings.
: '''Rex:''' On it! Huh?!
: '''Agent Six:''' Watch it, Rex.
: '''Rex:''' Whoa! All I want are my goggles. All I've wanted all day are my goggles, and this EVOs been blocking me over and over! Hey, Bobo, you know how to shoot one of these?
: '''Bobo:''' Eh, how hard could it be?
: '''Rex:''' Load me into this thing and point it right at that EVO's sweet spot. And hurry. I got better stuff to do.
: '''Bobo:''' You do know that's 30,000 gallons of raw sewage you're aimin' at?
: '''Rex:''' Don't remind me. Oh... Yuck! Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck!
: '''Agent Six:''' Elegant solution, Rex.
: '''Bobo:''' You don't smell elegant. You stink worse than me. I'm a little jealous.
: '''Black Knight:''' All right, Rex. Get to work.
: '''Rex:''' Work? What do you mean? I just served that vegetable!
: '''Black Knight:''' You cut the strings, but you still have to fix the puppets.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' She's right, Rex.
: '''Black Knight:''' You want to cure the world? Start curing.
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex:''' Whoa, man, I'm beat! I don't think I can move another inch if you paid me.
: ''[Goggle girl rides past him]''
: '''Rex:''' Gotta move! See ya! Hey! Stop for a second! Six, I'm really starting to think this girl's got some kind of EVO action going on-- Teleporter, speedster, something.
: '''Goggle girl:''' Hey!
: '''Rex:''' Huh? Six, she's not just a teleporter. She can make doubles of herself-- Multiple abilities! She's an EVO, like me!
: '''Goggle girl:''' It's the skeevy guy who's been chasing me. He was chasing me, too. And me. What do you want?
: '''Rex:''' You took my goggles! I want them back!
: '''Goggle girl:''' Hey, Einstein, did you see our logo? That stands for "Goggle Girl", as in the delivery service. You haven't ever heard of us?
: '''Rex:''' Um... No.
: '''Goggle girl:''' "Nothing is cuter than a girl on a scooter." Kind of hard to miss.
: ''[Goggle girl groans]''
: '''Goggle girl:''' It's the worst slogan ever.
: '''Rex:''' But-- But my goggles!
: '''Goggle girl:''' Part of our costume. The boss buys them in bulk, along with these cheesy wigs he makes us wear. It's kind of lame.
: '''Rex:''' In bulk?! Those goggles?! But... They're one-of-a-kind! They're special! They're-- They're... I'll just go now. Nope. Nope. Definitely not.
: '''Agent Six:''' I still don't know why those goggles were so important to you.
: '''Rex:''' You gave to me, Six. It was the first present, the first nice thing that I remember getting since you found me. You said they were special, and that made me feel special.
: '''Six:''' Yes, about those goggles... Apparently, according to Bobo, I may have misled you. There was dozens of them in the Providence service bay.
: '''Rex:''' I knew the story was fake, but you told it because you cared about me. That's what made them special.
: '''Agent Six:''' I see.
: '''Bobo:''' Hey, champ. You got a package.
: '''Goggle girl:''' Sign, please.
: '''Agent Six:''' It's for you. From us. Just open it.
: '''Rex:''' My goggles!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Better. We commissioned an enhanced version.
: '''Rex:''' Cool! Infrared... Microscopic... Nanovision?! Thanks, you guys. You really are one-of-a-kind.
: '''Bobo:''' Those are great, but these are me.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' I just need to hold on to them for a few more hours while I run a full diagnostic.
: '''Rex:''' A few hours?! I just got them! Aw!
: '''Bobo:''' Here-- Because I care.
: '''Goggle girl:''' They actually look kinda cute.
: '''Rex:''' Hey, doc! No rush!
: '''Bobo:''' Ain't love grand?
===Black and White===
: '''Calan:''' Be advised, we've got activity. Major activity. Stop right there, or we'll shoot! Don't make me do it.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, I know what you're thinking, but this is totally not what it looks like.
: '''Calan:''' Calan to command, tell Black Knight-- We have apprehended the intruders. Repeat, we got'em.
: '''Rex:''' No! Get out of my head! Stop it! Stop! Stop with the talking! A dream. Oh, thank you! For a second, I swore that I heard his voice. It was almost like he was in the-- Room. Huh?!
: '''White Knight:''' I was wondering if I was gonna have to send the monkey in with a bucket of water. But I thought, "why should he have all the fun?" Five minutes-- Situation room. Consider this your wake-up call.
: '''Rex:''' Aren't you supposed to be playing dead? You're lucky Black Knight doesn't know you're here.
: '''White Knight:''' Black Knight thinks what I want her to think. With the installation of the new regime, I suspected that there was more going on at providence than just this new control protocol. I decided to test my hypothesis. I needed time to operate freely without prying eyes. So I went off the grid.
: '''Rex:''' And from the smell of it, you haven't changed out of your suit since then.
: ''[Bobo sniffs]''
: '''White Knight:''' I've been busy. I've been tracking their operations. They involve familiar locales and even more familiar machinery.
: '''Rex:''' You still use a camera with film? Do they even make that stuff anymore?
: '''White Knight:''' What they don't make are machines like these. This is the wreckage of Rylander's lab.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Are they doing what I think they're doing?
: '''Rex:''' Do what?
: '''White Knight:''' It appears that this new Providence is restarting the nanite program.
: '''Rex:''' There is no way my brother would help restart something that nearly destroyed the world. There's got to be a good explanation. We should just ask him.
: '''White Knight:''' We can't risk direct contact. We need to infiltrate Providence, download her computer banks, and assess how far along they are before we take any other actions.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Over there.
: '''Rex:''' Just saying there's more here than meets the eye. Whoa!
: '''Six:''' Breaking into Providence? That's a big move, even for you. Black Knight is sure to have enhanced the security systems. We may be able to breach the perimeter defenses, but once inside, we'd be blind targets.
: '''White Knight:''' You'd be right if we were playing on her board.
: '''Six:''' Forgive me for doubting you.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, is someone gonna tell me what these are for? This is so not going to work.
: '''Six:''' Trust the plan.
: '''Rex:''' Huh? Okay, so, maybe they worked. But how'd you get them to do it on cue?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' All a matter of timing. Assuming we get past the outer perimeter, securing the data is a completely different story. Providence encrypts all data. We need to disable multiple units before we can download anything off the mainframe. Doing that undetected is ''[sighs]'' insane.
: '''Rex:''' Finally, a voice of reason. I'm calling my brother. Took the lady with three phds to realize what I've been saying all along is right. Hey, that costs money! I'm over my minutes!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' How did you... This is...
: '''Six:''' Doable.
: '''Rex:''' Do what? What is that? A secret passage.
: '''White Knight:''' When they built the tower, I had them install, these-- Upper-management corridors.
: '''Six:''' In the old days, they called passages like these the king's road.
: '''White Knight:''' From here, we face some unknowns. Stick to the plan. Or we could die.
: '''Rex:''' What?! Me?! What about you?! Part of the plan was to do this quietly.
: '''Calan:''' Stop right there, or we'll shoot!
: ''[Dr. Holiday gasps]''
: '''Rex:''' Here we go. Ok, I know what you're thinking, but this is totally not what it looks like.
: '''White Knight:''' Stand down, Rex.
: ''[Calan laughs]''
: '''Calan:''' Welcome back, sir. We've been waiting for you.
: '''Rex:''' Que, huh?
: '''Calan:''' Sorry for the scare, Rex. We couldn't guarantee the Black Knight wasn't taper our communications. It was best to keep radio silence. In any case-- Say hello to your man on the inside. He've got a bomb! All units, fall back, fall back! Captain Calan, do you copy? Report.
: '''White Knight:''' Ready for a repeate performance?
: '''Calan:''' Ready when you are, sir. Good luck, everyone. They're headed for the... petting zoo.
: '''Holiday:''' Here it is. Just like he said.
: '''White Knight:''' This is the Hive. The central nervous system of the entire complex. An electric field protects the inner chambers. We'll need the circuit bandage.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' I've got an idea, but you'll have to go in partially naked. We've got eyes everywhere.
: '''Six:''' Good. Knight and I will handle the encryption towers. You know what to do with this.
: '''Rex:''' No sweat. I'm on it. Just have to make one quick detour. Bro? You in here? Oh, no. No, no, no!
: '''Caesar:''' Rex, is that you? What brings you here?
: ''[Six groans]''
: '''Six:''' Partially naked. Tower one clear. Proceed to next phase.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Got it. Redirecting the data flow now.
: '''Calan:''' Anyone hear for the monkey?
: '''Rex:''' Huh?!
: '''Bobo:''' Offical pet desk. Keep your distance.
: '''Rex:''' Is that Dr. Rylander?
: '''Caesar:''' It is. Well, almost. After you brought back Van Kleiss, I couldn't help but to wonder if perhaps I might do the same for him. Unfortunately, Van Kleiss was already great in tune the nanites. As you can see, Dr. Rylander-- wasn't.
: '''Rex:''' Ok, whatever. Listen, I'm here on a secret mission.
: '''Caesar:''' Secret?
: '''Rex:''' White Knight said--
: '''Caesar:''' White Knight is alive?
: '''Rex:''' If you can call him that. Anyway, he says... you might wanna sit down for this part? That Black Knight is restarting the nanite program. Don't you think that's messed up?
: '''Caesar:''' On the contrary. I'm in charge of it.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Commencing download in T-2 minutes. White Knight has infiltrated sector three. You're right. They are monitoring our movements. How did you know?
: '''White Knight:''' It's what I would do. Now start evac protocols.
: '''Black Knight:''' I've torn this facility apart looking for that? When I found it, I still couldn't get to it. Bio-feed security system-- Clever. You have to be nanite-free to open it. I guessed you weren't dead. I knew if I let enough info leak about what we're doing here, you've showed up, eventually. I'll take it.
: '''White Knight:''' You can try.
: '''Black Knight:''' What ever you say. You were the boss.
: '''White Knight:''' That's not a providence toy.
: '''Black Knight:''' A woman is entitled her secrets. Especially when those secrets keep me alive.
: ''[Black Knight grunts]''
: '''White Knight:''' Ohh! What I could've done with you if I hired you first.
: '''Black Knight:''' Don't fool yourself, White.
: '''White Knight:''' Ohh, ohh, ohh!
: '''Black Knight:''' You were bandage at best. the Consortium knew that you weren't the leader for the future. Stand down, old man!
: '''White Knight:''' I've got a few secrets of my own, kid. After all, this was my office. Consortium or not, it will be again.
: '''Black Knight:''' Ugh!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Be advised, they're on to us. Making for the rendezvous.
: '''Six:''' I'll take my swords back now. Please.
: '''Rex:''' What are you doing, helping Black Knight? She's obviously the more psycho of the two knights.
: '''Caesar:''' I'm not helping the Black Knight do anything. I'm trying to fix things. The day everything changed. We never imagined what would happen when we released the nanites.
: '''Rex:''' Release them?! You caused the nanite event?!
: '''Caesar:''' It was the only way we were going to save the world.
: '''Rex:''' You unleashed the worst man-made disaster the world has ever seen!! You've ruined countless lives!! How can you say that you saved anything?!
: '''Caesar:''' You weren't there... not in any way that mattered! If we hadn't--
: '''Rex:''' Hold that thought. Here, doggy, doggy.
: '''Six:''' Excessive?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Sweet, actually. Now you're overdoing it.
: '''White Knight:''' ''[panting]'' Are we finished here? ''[screams]'' Careful, Black. Your council wouldn't be too pleased if you destroyed the very thing you're after.
: '''Black Knight:''' If doesn't have to be like this, White! The Consortium may have lost faith in you, but you know my methods are right. Come back. Under my protection, who knows? There may even be a promotion in it for you.
: '''White Knight:''' You would turn on your own masters?
: '''Black Knight:''' For that kind of power, wouldn't you?
: '''White Knight:''' You would turn on your own masters?
: '''Black Knight:''' For that kind of power, wouldn't you?
: '''White Knight:''' I am going to stop the Consortium. If you or Providence gets in my way, this tape goes public.
: '''Black Knight:''' Wait!
: '''Caesar:''' Rex, stop! You're destroying my work!
: '''Rex:''' Your work is done! And so are we! I got it. Time to blow this--
: '''Black Knight:''' Stand down, Rex. Face it, kiddo... today is not your day.
: '''Rex:''' Actually, today's wednesday, and wednesday means fiesta night at the cafeteria. Getting in is going to be cake... very dangerous cake. Any bright ideas on how we're getting out?
: '''Bobo:''' I got one word for you, kid-- Plumbing.
: '''Rex:''' I got it. Time to blow this...
: '''Bobo:''' Taco stand.
: '''White Knight:''' Aah!
: '''Bobo:''' Me and Van Gogh, unappreciated in our time.
: '''Rex:''' All of that-- Was for that?! I got nanites, billions of 'em.
: '''White Knight:''' Not like this one, Rex. This is a Meta Nanite. One of several. Hardwired into its design is a program for the original Dominion Code.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Dominion Code? I thought that was a myth.
: '''White Knight:''' I can assure you, doctor, it is very real. Each one gives its host control over different building blocks of the universe- matter, antimatter, elemental, space, time, reality. With the complete code, you can control them. And through them, you control ''everything''. In sort, it's the God Code.
: '''Rex:''' The Consortium want to be...gods?
: '''White Knight:''' If it wasn't for the original Nanite Event scattering the Metas across the globe, they may have already succeeded. The situation has changed, people. Black Knight has been searching the globe for the other Meta-Nanites. She needs them all to complete the Master Program. As long as we're keeping her secret, she'll hold off. But sooner or later, she'll be coming for this with the full power of Providence and the Consortium at her back. So... if you want to move on, forget what I've told you.
: '''Rex:''' You're not getting rid of us that easily, old man. My parents died for this. Black Knight wants war, war she gets.
===Deadzone===
: '''Noah:''' You said it was gonna be fun. You said there'd be hot girls, great bands.
: '''Rex:''' It was an honest mistake. They called it the world's largest british rock festival.
: '''Noah:''' Yeah, because it was a convention for english geologists!
: '''Rex:''' Okay, yes, maybe we did just drive two days for some boring science conference because I didn't actually read past the first paragraph of the website. But we did get some cool free Schwag. Look!
: '''Noah:''' I've seen it. It's a pile of rocks!
: '''Rex:''' No, look!
: '''Feakins:''' Hey! What are you doing? Leave me alone!
: '''Rex:''' Pull over.
: '''Noah:''' You know that guy?
: '''Rex:''' Nope. But I know an opportunity to tweak the Black Knight when I see one.
: '''Noah:''' No way. I haven't showered in two days. You real haven't showered in two days. This car is not stopping until we get home. Real mature.
: '''Rex:''' Just give me five minutes. I'll grab him before they even notice. Think of it this way. At least something fun will come out of this trip. Shh.
: '''Feakins:''' I don't understand what you're saying, guy.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Providence Agent:''' Just take a stay back, Rex. You don't know what you're messing with here.
: '''Rex:''' Yeah, well, you do know what you're messing with! This! Huh?
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Rex:''' Hey! Who's messing with this?
: '''Providence Agent:''' Anything you want to add to that smack talk?
: ''[Rex chuckles nervously]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Providence Agent:''' Let's go.
: '''Rex:''' I don't know what you did to my powers, but I'd keep the hands off the jacket, if I were you. Uh, on second thought, take the jacket. Thinking about a new one anyway.
: '''Providence Agent:''' We're gonna bring him with us? He's harmless as long as we've got Feakins.
: '''Rex:''' What's a Feakin?
: '''Noah:''' Come on, Rex. You gonna stand there all night getting hugs from your old Providence buddies?
: '''Rex:''' No, don't! Or, uh, you're gonna make Agent Six over there even more mad than he already is.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Providence Agent:''' Move!
: '''Feakins:''' Aah! What are you doing, guy?!
: '''Noah:''' So, what's--
: '''Rex:''' Drive! Drive!
: '''Noah:''' Aah! Who is he?! What's going on?
: '''Rex:''' Who are you? What's going on?
: '''Feakins:''' Do either of you have a milkshake?
: '''Providence Agent:''' Pull over!
: '''Noah:''' You want to get them to stop that? What happened?
: '''Rex:''' Let me guess. You're Feakins.
: '''Feakins:''' Yeah, and I am very queasy back here! If we don't get me a milkshake, it's not gonna be my fault if my lunch ends up all over this very nice leather seat!
: '''Rex:''' Somehow he's fritzing out my powers. It's like there's a deadzone around him.
: '''Noah:''' You talking about nanites or his personality?
: '''Providence Agent:''' No more warnings. Pull over!
: '''Noah:''' Whoa!
: ''[Noah gasps]''
: '''Feakins:''' We're not gonna make it!
: '''Noah:''' Yes, we are! This is a '77! They don't make'em like this anymore! WHOO-HOO! Aah!
: ''[Noah gasps]''
: '''Noah:''' That was a '77! They don't make'em anymore! My granddad's gonna kill me!
: '''Rex:''' Looks like he'll have to wait in line.
: ''[Feakins gasps]''
: '''Feakins:''' How great is this?! You guys were at the convention, too?
: '''Rex:''' Come on! If we get out of here now, they'll spend the next couple hours looking for the car before they figure out where it went.
: '''Feakins:''' So, what's your favorite geological area? I'm a proterozoic man. Of course, the hadean has its merits, too.
: '''Noah:''' You couldn't take five minutes to read the whole website?
<hr width80%>
: '''Noah:''' Thank you! I can't tell you how glad we are you're open. I just want to get cleaned up and get some sleep.
: '''Feakins:''' Hold on! Pardon me, but what kind of room service does this establishment offer? What if I want a milkshake?
: '''Rex:''' And that kind of brings you up to date, doc.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Well, that explains why you suddenly dropped of my tracking grid. The good news is, the deadzone Feakins creates means the Black Knight can't use your nanites to track you either.
: '''Rex:''' Now that Feakins isn't right next to me, it's not as bad. I can still feel them. It's just that they feel all fuzzy. I bet if I put some distance between us, my powers would bounce right back.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You cannot let him out of your sight, Rex. Don't you see why Black Knight wants him? He's the ultimate insurance against any EVO.
: '''Rex:''' Not just any. Me.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You've got to hang on to him. I'm on my way to you now.
: '''Rex:''' Hey, don't worry about me. I-I may not have my powers, but I've got Noah. We can handle things until you get here.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Just stay put and don't draw attention to yourself.
: '''Feakins:''' I know this is your motel! But judging by your office, you and me got a different idea of what "clean" means! Can you believe that guy!
: '''Rex:''' Yeah, the last part might be a problem, doc.
: '''Feakins:''' Oh. Okay if you guys take this bed?
: '''Noah:''' Providence we can deal with. It's him I'm worried about.
: '''Black Knight:''' Speak.
: '''Black Pawn:''' We lost them.
: '''Black Knight:''' I want every asset we have in the state mobilized. Do you understand? Find them!
: '''Noah:''' No way! You picked out this disguise. You wear it.
: '''Feakins:''' I didn't know it was made of acrylic! You want me to have a relapse of my eczema? 'Cause it won't be pretty! I get all flaky!
: '''Rex:''' Guys, the whole point of the disguises is to not attract attention.
: '''Noah:''' Fine! Why do I always have to be the mature one?
: '''Rex:''' Come on.
: '''Feakins:''' We've only got a couple hours to get to our new rendezvous with Holiday.
: '''Rex:''' Aren't you going to demand a milkshake?
: '''Feakins:''' Thanks, guy.
: '''Noah:''' What?! All you've done is moan about milkshakes. Because we were in a car. I don't get airsick.
: '''Feakins:''' So, why would I need a milkshake? But if there's a decent sushi bar nearby--
: ''[Noah groans]''
: '''Rex:''' Wait.
: ''[Feakins sneezes]''
: '''Feakins:''' What? I said I was allergic to acrylic!
: '''Rex:''' Hang on!
: '''Feakins:''' Whoa. You gotta stop this thing.
: '''Noah:''' You gotta be kidding me!
: '''Feakins:''' It's not my fault I got a delicate stomach!
: '''Rex:''' Ugh! This isn't even really a car!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Oh!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Those two agents on the plane are gonna call in others. We gotta go!
: '''Noah:''' How are we gonna get anywhere without a car?
: '''Rex:''' We've got a chance we can get on a train.
: '''Noah:''' It's pitch dark. We're never gonna find the tracks before that train passes!
: ''[Feakins laughs]''
: '''Feakins:''' Yeah, very funny. Come on, guy, quit joking around.
: '''Noah:''' What are you talking about?
: '''Feakins:''' Well, given the shale and quartz in this soil, the train tracks have to be down that way. I mean, that's just obvious stuff to rock lovers like us, am I right? I don't believe it! An entire train car filled with ice cream... And there's no blender!
: '''Noah:''' So close, and yet no milkshake.
: '''Rex:''' Well, I'm starved. Let's eat. We're all gonna need our strength. Cherry-Berry Chunky Nut?
: '''Feakins:''' I'm allergic to ice cream.
: '''Rex:''' How can you love milkshakes and be allergic to ice cream?
: '''Noah:''' Do you really want to hear him answer that?
: '''Rex:''' Look, I'm sorry. I know it's been a crazy day for you.
: '''Feakins:''' I woke up yesterday thinking I was just a regular accountant who loved rocks... Only to discover that I'm actually this super-important guy who everyone's after because I got some kind of amazing power!
: '''Rex:''' Lucky you. Move! Move! We're close. We're going to make it to Holiday.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, I can't stay here. We'll have to meet somewhere else.
: '''Rex:''' I see the perfect place.
: '''Black Knight:''' Let's end this game, Rex.
: '''Rex:''' Black Knight?
: '''Feakins:''' I don't believe it. The Black Knight works at Bob's Biscuit Barn!
: '''Black Knight:''' Now that we've found you, there's nowhere to hide. It should not have taken the most advanced satellite system in the world this long to pinpoint them. The excuses can wait. Right now, I want this wrapped up.
: '''Noah:''' How did Black Knight know where we were?
: '''Rex:''' I don't know.
: '''Noah:''' Even if you make it to the Holiday, is Black Knight just gonna find us?
: '''Rex:''' I don't know!
: '''Feakins:''' When are we gonna get a milkshake?!
: '''Rex:''' I don't know!
: '''Feakins:''' I'm in a car. It's moving. I'm getting queasy back here.
: '''Rex:''' Then get out of the car!
: '''Feakins:''' Aah!
: '''Black Pawn:''' Be advised-- Primary target Feakins is to be recovered alive if possible.
: '''Rex:''' You know how I said we don't get through this, with or without my powers? Well, it looks like I was wrong. They're after Feakins. That means "Noah" has a shot at making a break for it and getting to Holiday. Do you understand what I'm saying?
: '''Black Pawn:''' Let the breakaway go. And stay on the primary target.
: '''Rex:''' Huh. I guess they're not afraid of me with you standing here. Which is... Awesome!
: '''Black Pawn:''' Pull up! Pull up!
: '''Rex:''' Mwah! Man, have I missed you!
: '''Noah:''' Guess I don't need this anymore.
: '''Rex:''' I can't believe that plan actually worked.
: '''Noah:''' Feakins still has to make it to Holiday.
: '''Feakins:''' Oh, I'm not feeling so good.
: '''Rex:''' Whoa!
: '''Black Pawn:''' The primary target is unconventional. Ground units, reroute to intercept. We will cover.
: '''Rex:''' We're going after Feakins! Come on!
: '''Pilot:''' Ground units are down. Moving to pursue a primary target.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Black Pawn:''' Stay on Rex. If we don't engage him, he'll tear us apart.
: '''Noah:''' Whoa!
: '''Rex:''' Sit tight.
: '''Noah:''' Uh, where would I go?
: '''Rex:''' Mind if I borrow this?
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Noah:''' Rex!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Providence Agent screams]''
: '''Rex:''' Ow! Hey, watch it! I'm still a little rusty here! These guys are tough.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Aah! Hang on to me!
: '''Noah:''' Aah! Whoa!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Where's Feakins?
: '''Rex:''' Oh, come on! This guy is killing me!
: '''Noah:''' Maybe he'll still coming.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' We can't wait. Providence followed you here. What?
: '''Rex:''' We got him! Let's go!
: '''Noah:''' It's too late.
: '''Black Knight:''' Where is my visual?
: '''Black Pawn:''' They're just gone.
: '''Rex:''' What just happened?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' It's a prototype stealth device built into the lab. That's why I had to get you in here. It was the only way to get you out of Black Knight's sight.
: '''Noah:''' So, that's it?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' That's it. The good guys won.
: '''Rex:''' Oh, hey, by the way, doc, you're a big geology buff, aren't you? So, did we hook you up with the perfect safe house or what? You'll never have to worry about driving without a milkshake again.
: '''Feakins:''' Oh, it's great, guy. The only problem is the gas.
: '''Rex:''' Well, I'm sure we can kick in a little gas money, too.
: ''[Feakins farting]''
: '''Feakins:''' Yeah, that's not what I meant.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, we can't stay.
: '''Rex:''' You got that right!
: '''Feakins:''' Wait. I just wanna say... Its not easy being thrown together with someone who can be a little, well... Difficult.
: '''Rex:''' Hey... You're not so bad.
: '''Feakins:''' Me?! I was talking about you!
: ''[Black Knight sighs]''
: '''Black Knight:''' Since the search for Feakins is going nowhere, we have no choice but to become much more aggressive... With Rex.
===Assault on Abysus===
: '''Diane Farrah:''' Through research and hard work, Providence has turned the curse of the EVO into a blessing. One that will serve mankind. Science and compassion have created a new future for all EVOs. A future filled with happiness and hope.
: '''Black Pawn:''' You? Seen some EVOs pass through here?
<hr width80%>
*Rex and Circe finally admit their true feelings for one another. Unfortunately, there was not enough episodes to explore their romance further.
<hr width80%>
: ''[Somewhere in [[w:Hong Kong|Hong Kong, China]]'']''
: '''Circe:''' Okay. They're gone.
: '''Skywwd:''' For now. Get out of here, Circe. Run!
: '''Circe:''' I'm not leaving you guys.
: '''Skywwd:''' You can pass as human. Go-- Before Providence gets you too.
: '''Black Pawn:''' The girl! She's with them!
: '''Skwwyd:''' Run!
: '''Rex:''' Hmm? What's up?
: '''Circe:''' You're the only person I could turn to.
: '''Rex:''' Circe?
: '''Circe:''' I don't know. That's the hardest part.
: '''Rex:''' You did what you had to do.
: '''Circe:''' I left them there, Rex. Our friends. Providence has to be stopped. Someone needs to do something.
: '''Rex:''' ''[puts his arms around Circe to comfort her]'' We are.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Am I disturbing you two?
: '''Rex:''' No.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' White Knight wants to talk with you.
: '''Rex:''' Ugh. What's he gonna yell at me for this time?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' No, I meant Circe. He wants to talk to her.
: '''Circe:''' Providence has been hunting these down, too?
: '''White Knight:''' You didn't tell her about them, Rex?
: '''Rex:''' I thought the Master Control Nanites were supposed to be top secret.
: '''White Knight:''' She has to know if she's going to lead the mission.
: '''Rex:''' Her? That was supposed to be my mission.
: '''White Knight:''' It's no one's mission. It's about getting the job done.
: '''Circe:''' Why me?
: '''White Knight:''' Intelligence indicates that Providence has targeted a Master Control Nanite in Abysus. In Van Kleiss' old castle, to be more precise. You're the only one with the knowledge to get us in there.
: '''Rex:''' I've been there before. How hard could it be? Circe, you don't have to.
: '''Circe:''' If it helps stop Black Knight in Providence, I'm in.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, Doc. We made it. The new power suit gave me more range, just like you said.
: ''[Circe whistles]''
: '''Circe:''' Thanks, Banak. We're trying to keep a low profile. Don't tell anyone, okay?
: '''Rex:''' Good thing you knew the secret whistle or we might have been rooting around forever.
: ''[Rex chuckles]''
: '''Rex:''' Get it? "Root"? Uh... This can't be easy coming back here. I owe you.
: '''Circe:''' Forget it. We're even. I used you in the past, now you and your friends are using me.
: '''Rex:''' Is there some sort of problem between you and me?
: '''Circe:''' There's nothing between you and me. Just the mission. I don't have good memories of this place. Let's just leave it at that, okay?
: '''Rex:''' Fine. I'm surprised we haven't run into-- Ugh!
: ''[Circe echoing roar]''
: '''Skalamander:''' Traitor! Stop her!
: '''Circe:''' Aah!
: '''Rex:''' Can you chill?! There's no time for this. Who's leading you now that Van Kleiss is gone? I need to speak to your leader. Figures. Biowolf, we have a problem. And... I need your help.
: '''Biowulf:''' I will listen.
: '''Rex:''' Great, because--
: '''Biowulf:''' Only after you. earn the right-- Through combat.
: ''[Biowulf growls]''
: ''[Rex spits]''
: '''Rex:''' At least Van Kleiss was civilized. Buckle up, dog boy.
: '''Biowulf:''' You may speak. This nanite you want-- It's not here. None of us have seen it up in the castle or the blast source.
: '''Rex:''' I didn't say up. It's down. White Knight thinks it's under the castle. Some other secure lab area.
: '''Biowulf:''' The primary chamber?
: '''Circe:''' It's under the castle? Van Kleiss always said it was forbidden for us to go there.
: '''Rex:''' You think he remembered to tell Black Knight that? Let me take it out of here.
: '''Biowulf:''' No! You're a traitor to your own kind. A lapdog to these humans. I've heard enough!
: '''Rex:''' All of us will fall-- All EVOs-- If she gets it. Black Knight is worse than you know. If I don't get the nanite out of here, Providence will take it.
: '''Biowulf:''' Providence! This is Abysus, the heart of the EVO world. Providence wouldn't dare.
: '''Circe:''' The sentries have spotted something.
: '''Rex:''' Yeah. I wonder who.
: '''Providence Soldier:''' Black Knight, the assault forces are in place.
: '''Black Knight:''' The field is yours. We've secured the borders. No chance White Knight and his team will get in the country to interfere.
: '''Biowulf:''' The castle is surrounded.
: '''Rex:''' Standard operating procedure for Providence is to secure the perimeter, then close for attack. Black Knight will have snuck forces around back.
: '''Skalamander:''' How should we counter?
: '''Rex:''' Easy.
: '''Biowulf:''' You take your nanite. I'll decide how to deal with the invaders.
: '''Black Pawn:''' Deploy the collars. Rise. Forward. Attack.
: '''Rex:''' The nanite event blew away half the castle. This must have been deep enough to survive it. Huh? You hear that?
: '''Circe:''' No. Hear what?
: '''Rex:''' Uh... Nothing. This place would make a great rec room. Maybe a karaoke machine over there--
: '''Circe:''' Van Kleiss would send volunteers down here to try and get in. None of them ever came back.
: '''Rex:''' Well... That's encouraging.
: '''Circe:''' What is it?
: '''Rex:''' They're... I-I think they're nanites. They're following our lights. They can't see in the dark. I have a plan. Lead them back.
: '''Circe:''' ''[concerned]'' Rex?
: '''Rex:''' When I say "roll," roll.
: '''Circe:''' What?!
: '''Rex:''' Roll! Circe, sing!
: ''[Circe uses her ultrasonic blasts on the EVOs and beams at Rex.]''
: ''[Circe echoing roar]''
: '''Rex:''' We always made a good team.
: '''Circe:''' It won't hold them long.
: '''Rex:''' You think this is why Van Kleiss always wanted me-- So I could get him in here?
: '''Biowulf:''' Providence has breached the castle. We can't hold our position much longer.
: '''Rex:''' Go. I'll get the Master-Control Nanite. ''[Notices how worried Circe is about him probably not returning]'' This isn't Hong Kong. I'll be okay. I'll meet up with you soon.
: '''Biowulf:''' They've turned our own people against us.
: '''Circe:''' Let me see what I can do.
: ''[Circe uses her ultrasonic bursts on several collared EVOs]''.
: ''[Circe echoing roar]''
: ''[Circe gasping]''
: '''Circe:''' So many.
: '''Biowulf:''' You can't stop the ones they've collared.
: '''Circe:''' I can go down trying.
: ''[Circe echoing roar]''
: '''Black Pawn:''' Her sonics are disrupting the offensive.
: ''[Circe echoing roar]''
: '''Black Pawn:''' Hyah! Unh!
: '''Biowulf:''' If we can't defeat them, we'll take down as many as we can fighting.
: '''Circe:''' This isn't one battle. It's a war. And we can't let it end here before Rex has the Master-Control Nanite.
: '''Biowulf:''' What, then?
: '''Circe:''' Tactical retreat.
: ''[Circe whistles]''
: '''Rex:''' Huh. Dad.
: '''Providence Soldier:''' Outer rooms of the castle secured.
: '''Black Pawn:''' I don't need you here, Black Knight. It's only a matter of time. We will take the castle piece by piece.
: ''[Skalamander growling]''
: '''Black Pawn:''' You are ours now. Down.
: ''[Skalamander grunting]''
: '''Skalamander:''' Rex is here. He will make you bow to us!
: '''Black Knight:''' This is all a diversion. Find Rex before he gets the Master-Control Nanite.
: '''Black Pawn:''' Yes, Ma'am.
: '''Black Knight:''' Either you do it or I will. I'm on my way.
: '''Rex:''' This place... Rylander had the same type of lab.
: '''Soldier:''' Security system engaged.
: '''Rex:''' No!
: '''Soldier:''' Intruder. Provide authorized identity or be terminated. Identify. Identify. Identify. Identify.
: '''Rex:''' Aah! I'm Rex! Rex Salazar!
: '''Soldier:''' Salazar genetype-- Accepted.
: ''[Rex sighs]''
: '''Rex:''' There you are, you little troublemaker. You're coming home with the good guys. Uhh. Weird. Uh... I don't suppose you're looking for the karaoke machine? Running into you-- What a coincidence. Come down here a lot? Whoa! Missed me.
: '''Black Pawn:''' I have the nanite. Keep the boy busy while I get it to Black Knight.
: '''Rex:''' No!
: ''[Circe echoing roar]''
: '''Rex:''' You two sure know how to make an entrance.
: '''Circe:''' The others are getting hammered by Provindence. They're barely holding them off in the dungeon.
: '''Rex:''' Gee! Van Kleiss has a dungeon. What a surprise.
: '''Biowulf:''' This is no joke. They might die because I came down here to save you.
: '''Rex:''' I won't let them get taken. I promise you that. But I need you to let me call the shots.
: ''[Biowulf sighs]''
: '''Biowulf:''' Very well.
: '''Rex:''' Circ, dungeon left or right?
: '''Circe:''' Left. The dungeon's the other way.
: '''Rex:''' I'm not looking for the dungeon. I'm looking for the scouts.
: '''Black Pawn:''' Nothing.
: '''Rex:''' Well, maybe a little something.
: ''[Circe echoing roar]''
: '''Rex:''' Scouts. Classic Providence tactics-- So they don't get ambushed. Uhh. What is this place?
: '''Biowulf:''' The old reservoir. It goes to the river.
: '''Rex:''' Perfect. ''[deep voice]'' Scout to command. West wing, reservoir-- We've found a back way onto what must be the main EVO force. It's five times the size of what you're fighting.
: '''Black Pawn:''' Roger, scout. All forces, withdraw from dungeon siege. Report to west wing, reservoir. Ambush maneuver lambda.
: '''Rex:''' ''[normal voice]'' Get your troops. It's bath time.
: '''Biowulf:''' Now you bow to Rex!
: '''Rex:''' The Providence goons are contained, Biowulf. They shouldn't be any more trouble. And I got the Master-Control Nanite. Looks like mission accomplished.
: '''Circe:''' Rex, I--
: ''[She and Rex cling to each other as the castle begins shaking.]''
: '''Black Knight:''' Rex, order your friends to surrender. You're all under Providence custody. I always knew it might be impossible to capture the Master-Control Nanite in the heart of the nanite infestation. So the solution was to remove it.
: '''Circe:''' It's Hong Kong all over again.
: '''Rex:''' No. We can fight. We'll double back and-- A-and then--
: '''Biowulf:''' Go! Get the nanite out of here!
: '''Rex:''' No! I promised you!
: '''Biowulf:''' You were right. That nanite is more important than anyone here. Including myself. I am the leader. I give the orders. Run!
: ''[Rex panting]''
: '''Rex:''' They were counting on me. I don't want to leave them.
: '''Circe:''' I did what I had to do. You do what you have to. I want you to know, all this was never about me just using you.
: ''[Circe gasps]''
: ''[Finally admits her true romantic feelings for Rex in the form of a passionate kiss. She then pushes a shocked Rex off the ledge, so he could escape; and her getting collared and captured in his stead. She smiled with tears in her eyes, with the promise that she would be okay.]''
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' ''[burdened by Circe admitting her intense love for him and sacrifice]'' We all make sacrifices for the things we care about-- The people we love. But when the stakes are this high, who can we trust? What would that power do to anyone who had it? They attacked Abysus. What's stopping them from attacking us for these nanites?
: '''White Knight:''' They will-- Sooner or later. That's why I want to turn the tables on them first.
: '''Rex:''' You know how to do that so we survive in one piece?
: '''White Knight:''' Not yet.
===Remote Control===
: '''Bobo:''' Providence goons are thick as fleas tonight, and I know fleas.
: '''Rex:''' We're gonna be late if we have to keep sneaking around.
: '''Bobo:''' After you.
: '''Skwydd:''' Rex must have bailed on us-- Again.
: '''Cricket:''' He would never do that, Skwydd. And besides, he dad to fly all the way to Honk Kong on his own. Give him some time.
: '''Tuck:''' He's here! Everything okay, Rex?
: ''[Skwydd hissing]''
: '''Skwydd:''' Cricket, Tuck, this way!
: ''[Skwydd grunts]''
: '''Skwydd:''' Ow. Yeah, I think I'll stick to ink.
: '''Cricket:''' We need to find Rex.
: '''Skwydd:''' He was supposed to find us.
: '''Tuck:''' How are we gonna--
: '''Quarry:''' Wrong. They'll be coming with me. Anybody got a problem with that?
: ''[Quarry laughs]''
: ''[Quarry grunting]''
: '''Rex:''' Tuck? Cricket? Skwydd?
: '''Bobo:''' Oh, yeah, they were here. This came out of Skwydd. Mm.
: '''Rex:''' Ew! If those Providence goons hurt them, I'm gonna--
: '''Bobo:''' What do you say you use a little of that aggression and get some answers, champ?
: '''Rex:''' What did you do with my friends? Quarry?
: '''Cricket:''' If you think we're going to thank you for getting us out of there, Quarry.
: ''[Quarry laughs]''
: '''Quarry:''' I think you're going to do exactly as I say.
: ''[Activates the mind-control collar on her neck]''
: '''Cricket:''' Aah!
: '''Bobo:''' Occupied Hong Kong-- What a dump! Where to, chief?
: '''Rex:''' I have no idea. How did he get away from Van Kleiss? How is he even alive?
: ''[Rex sighs]''
: '''Rex:''' It's cool. We're not going to hurt you. What's Providence turned into? This whole city is living in fear.
: '''Bobo:''' Well, we ain't gonna find my answers in this alley. I got a guide book. Ooh! A coupon for all-you-can-eat dim sum. What? A chimp's gotta eat.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, let's go. But keep moving. Maybe we'll turn up a clue.
: '''Bobo:''' Aw, this just breaks my heart. All that grub and no one to eat it.
: '''Monster EVO:''' Can you help a fellow EVO who's down on his luck?
: '''Rex:''' I can do better than that. Let me take care of this for you.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Ow!
: '''Bobo:''' I wanna order some chow to go. Give me some of those chicken feet, and give me the beaks, too.
: '''Rex:''' I thought that collar was supposed to make you mellow! What? Now you know Kung Fu? I don't have time for this.
: '''Bobo:''' Hey, buddy. It looked like you could use some-- Hey, where'd the charity case go?
: '''Rex:''' He had to leave suddenly. All yours. I need some time to think.
: '''Bobo:''' More for me! Go off and think your brains out, pal. You know where to find me. Ah, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship, my beak-dealing chum. And speaking of chum--
: ''[Bobo sniffs]''
: '''Bobo:''' Do I detect the delightful aroma of fish heads?
: '''Gamer boy:''' Hey, kid! You like video games? Want a cool job?
: '''Rex:''' I already have a cool job.
: '''Gamer boy:''' This is the coolest job you'll ever have. Mr. Quarry, pays top dollar for good players and I can set you up.
: '''Rex:''' Quarry? Tell me more.
: '''Huckster:''' ''[Cockney accent]'' Okay, kids. Looks like we're all here, right? Let me show you around.
: '''Quarry:''' What do you matter, the big fish? Time to reel him in.
: '''Huckster:''' This is all state-of-the-art stuff-- Exciting, new tech. You get to play as an EVO and go on a Crown Street. How cool is that?
: '''Rex:''' Hey! That looks like the EVO that jumped me.
: '''Huckster:''' We model our characters from actual EVOs. This is as close to reality as you can get.
: '''Rex:''' Hey! You guys! Oh, am I glad to see you! I-- Take that back. You've been collared! Let me help you!
: ''[Skwydd hissing]''
: '''Rex:''' Cricket, it's me-- Rex! You used to have a crush on me!
: '''Cricket:''' Ugh!
: ''[Cricket sighs]''
: '''Cricket:''' Rex, I'm so sorry. I knew what I was doing, but I couldn't control it.
: '''Rex:''' I'm okay, Cricket. You've been working on that jab, though, haven't you?
: '''Cricket:''' They're getting away.
: '''Rex:''' Let them go. They'll lead us straight to Quarry.
: '''Cricket:''' "Used to have a crush"?
: '''Rex:''' Infrared. Nice move. Providence Convoy. Great.
: '''Cricket:''' Whoa! Aah! Ugh! Aah!
: '''Rex:''' Come on, Cricket. We do this all the time. Uh, hair. Please.
: '''Bobo:''' Hey, give me some more of these deep-fried shrimp heads and a bunch of those fresh spring rolls. Hey, give me the stale spring rolls while you're at it.
: '''Female vendor:''' No more food! You have to go!
: '''Cricket:''' I recognize this place. It's where Quarry took us after we were collared. It's probably a setup.
: '''Rex:''' It's definitely a setup. You ready to go in?
: '''Cricket:''' You know how collared EVOs follow kind of like a robot. with these collars, it's worse. It's like you're a remote-controlled robot.
: '''Rex:''' That is a nasty hack.
: '''Cricket:''' It's bad enough working for Quarry. When you have free will but this--
: '''Rex:''' Skwydd! Tuck! I don't wanna hurt you.
: '''Quarry:''' Glad to hear that, Rex. Your friends are very valuable to me as are you.
: '''Rex:''' Like the new look- strapping.
: '''Quarry:''' Let's just say I had to find a way to "keep it together" after my visit to Abyus. Just one more thing you owe me for and you know how much I like a balanced book.
: '''Cricket:''' Rex! No!
: '''Quarry:''' You'll be the crown jewel of my EVO army, Rex. I may just make you my own personal slave. That collar suits you, Rex. Wish I'd had one for you back in the old days-- Would've saved me a lot of trouble.
: '''Cricket:''' Rex!
: '''Quarry:''' Oh, right. Cricket. Rex, be a good little helper and hold her down, would you?
: ''[Cricket gasps]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Quarry:''' Rex? Rex! I command you to stop!
: '''Rex:''' I quit listening to you a long time ago.
: '''Skwydd:''' Rex, I'm sorry.
: '''Rex:''' Never mind, Skwydd. Help me with Tuck. Aah! Oh, man! These nanites are smarter than usual.
: '''Cricket:''' Hurry, Rex!
: '''Rex:''' Whew! Don't think I'll be doing that again soon.
: '''Tuck:''' Thanks, man. Those all kinds of weird.
: '''Quarry:''' I've decided that you brats are not that valuable to me. Kill them all!
: '''Rex:''' We'll see.
: '''Tuck:''' Spinning donkey? Since when do street EVOs know Kung Fu?
: '''Rex:''' I know, right? How are you doing this? How are you controlling these guys.
: '''Quarry:''' I'm not would take an army of operators to control this many EVOs. I merely provide the funding and equipment. The streets provide the manpower-- Or should I say--
: ''[Quarry chuckles]''
: '''Quarry:''' Bratpower? And I paid top dollar for good players. At least by their sad standards.
: '''Rex:''' The arcade. All those kids!
: '''Quarry:''' Those brats were born to play games, which is what they think they're doing. And I thank your people for the tech. That brother of yours is quite the wiz, kid.
: '''Rex:''' Caesar would never!
: '''Cricket:''' Forget about Caesar, Rex. You know what you've got to do.
: '''Rex:''' These guys will shred you if I leave!
: '''Tuck:''' We got this, Rex. Go!
: '''Quarry:''' Once I get my hands on you, I'm gonna pop your head like a grape!
: '''Bobo:''' Oh, I am one stuffed monkey. Ooh, this might just be the year I floss. Hey! I know that noise. That's Rex. I'm coming, champ!
: ''[Bobo groans]''
: '''Bobo:''' Ooh, I better take it easy, or I'm gonna deliver a street pizza.
: ''[Bobo groans]''
: '''Female vendor:''' Next time, you're on the menu!
: '''Rex:''' Ugh! Unh!
: '''Quarry:''' You were a good earner once, Rex. But lately, you've been costing me too much.
: '''Rex:''' Ugh!
: '''Quarry:''' Now... you... pay!
: '''Cricket:''' No tongues!
: ''[Rex groaning]''
: '''Rex:''' Hyah!
: ''[Quarry laughs evilly]''
: '''Quarry:''' Consider the fact that you made me like this while I'm crushing you.
: ''[Quarry grunting]''
: '''Quarry:''' What?
: ''[Quarry straining]''
: '''Quarry:''' No! Unh! No! AAAAAH!
: '''Rex:''' Bad move, Quarry. Now, where's the "off" switch? Bingo.
: ''[Rex sighs]''
: '''Rex:''' Okay.
: '''Tuck:''' Uh, what just happened?
: '''Cricket:''' Rex happened.
: '''Gamer boy:''' No way. We were actually fighting real people? I'm outta here.
: '''Tuck:''' Nice move, Rex. I guess Quarry eats it again.
: '''Cricket:''' Where is Quarry, Rex?
: '''Rex:''' He bit off more than he could chew. Speaking of which, I'm starved. Who wants to grab a bite?
: '''Bobo:''' Ohh. Hey, Rex, when are we gonna see some action?
: '''Rex:''' I, uh, kind of took the initiative while you were chilling out. Wanna get some dim sum?
: ''[Bobo gags]''
: '''Bobo:''' Uh, no, thanks. I've had all I can eat.
: ''[Bobo gags]''
: '''Rex:''' Can we use your coupon?
: ''[Bobo gags]''
: '''Skwydd:''' You seriously thought you were gonna blow us off?
: '''Tuck:''' Not "we." "You."
: '''Rex:''' I came as soon as I could-- Honest.
: '''Cricket:''' You mean you didn't make a detour to Tokyo to buy anime?
: '''Rex:''' Okay, almost as soon. But it all turned out fine. And the most important thing is, we put a stop to that tech before there was enough of it to start a real army.
: '''Tuck:''' You can say that again.
: '''Skwydd:''' ''[Chuckling]'' Yeah.
: '''Rex:''' Now, hurry up and eat this before my chimp finds us. Mmm!
: '''Build worker:''' Okay, guys. That's the last of them. Provindence needs these machines on the next cargo ship. Let's move!
===A Brief History of Time===
: '''Van Kleiss:''' 4.000 years from my destination, and I've run out of of time. I've scarcely completed the vessel which shall deliver me to my own era. Gharun-Set, activate the traps-- Quickly! My greatest creation-- So useful to me, but too dangerous to roam free. If only I had time to destroy him, as I should. But I have a more pressing death I must prevent. My own. AAAAAAAAAAAH!
: '''Rex:''' Kind of defeating the whole stealth element of a stealth suit, Bobo.
: '''Bobo:''' Hey, now was I supposed to know that ghanoush went bad?
: '''Rex:''' Maybe because you found it in a garbage can.
: '''Bobo:''' On top of a garbage can.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Holiday to Rex. Are you at the site?
: '''Rex:''' There is not site, remember? Black Knight blew the pace to kingdom come.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Yet it's still guarded. And thanks to the data you stole from Providence, we know why.
: '''Rex:''' Van Kleiss back in time? I still find it hard to believe.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You were sent six months into the future, Rex. It stands to reason that the reverse is possible.
: '''Rex:''' Well, if you expect to find him here, maybe we should check the mummy museum. We're sensing nanites-- Definitely V.K.'s. They've been dead a long time.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Over 4,000 years. I'm also detecting tachyons-- Quantum particles that travel in time. I think it's clear what he was making.
: '''Bobo:''' A latrine?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' A time machine.
: '''Rex:''' No way he pulled it off! If mister ego made it back to here and now, we'd know about it.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Some of these nanites are considerably younger. That means he was there in two different time periods.
: '''Rex:''' Time travel gives me a headache. Just tell me-- Where is he now?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' The more accurate question is, when is he?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' AAAAAAH!
: ''[Van Kleiss gasping]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh! The ordeal is... draining. But now, back in my own time, I can replenish my nanite reserves and--
: '''Gladiator #1:''' Quis es tu?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I recognize the language, of course-- Classical latin. Qui-- Q-Qui annus est?
: '''Gladiator #1:''' What year is it? You dare question a captain of the imperial guard? Aegyptus is a roman Providence! Answer! Who are you?
: '''Gladiator #2:''' Don't bother-- He's clearly sun-mad.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' The dialect, the dress-- This is the second century A.D. A mere 2,000 years has passed. I'm only halfway home!
: '''Gladiator #1:''' Another escaped slave. Finish him and be done with it.
: ''[Gladiator #2 grunts]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' It was all the fight I could muster. I had no way to replace the nanites I'd spent in the journey, and my gauntlet had yet to recharge those that remained.
: '''Gladiator #2:''' This one shows spirit. He'll bring a good price in the arena.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' OOMPH!
: ''[Van Kleiss groans]''
: '''Gladiator #2:''' Save your strength.
: '''Gladiator #3:''' Where you're going, you'll need it.
: ''[Van Kleiss slurps]''
: ''[Van Kleiss gulps]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I intend to. Of the mysterious force, there is no sign. Yet I sense it is close-- Pursuing me even across the centuries. I am convinced it is a manifestation of time itself. My presence is a violation of physics-- An imbalance which the time stream seeks to correct... By wiping me from existence. But of this, I am certain-- If I do not return to my own time, it will surely destroy me.
: '''Gladiator #1:''' You are fortunate, slave. To die in the arena is a great honor.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' An honor I look forward to bestowing.
: ''[Gladiator #1 laughs]''
: '''Gladiator #1:''' You see? Spirit!
: ''[Van Kleiss groans]''
: '''Gladiator #3:''' Put on a good show, little man, and I promise to make your end a painless one.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Indeed?
: ''[Gladiator #3 grunts]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I, on the other hand, make no such promise.
: ''[Gladiator #3 grunting]''
: ''[Van Kleiss grunting]''
: '''Gladiator #3:''' AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
: ''[Gladiator #3 groans]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' One against so many? Hardly seems fair. For them.
: '''Gladiator #4:''' ARRRGHHHH!
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Ordinarily, I'd say "take me to your leader," but I believe he's already here.
: '''Septimius Severus:''' Great warrior... Never have I seen such a battle. I am...
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Septimius Severus, 21st emperor of Rome, founder of the severan dynasty. And, as I recall, you poisoned your own commanding officer to get his position... And wear only boots to conceal a prodigious clubfoot.
: '''Septimius Severus:''' Are you a man... Or a God?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I find both labels rather limiting. Now, then, you are going to give me whatever I require, starting with a quiet place to work. I, in return, shall ensure the growth and security of your reign as emperor. You may call me Van Kleiss.
: '''Septimius Severus:''' Whatever your desire, great Vanklios.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Actually, it's... Got a rather nice ring.
: '''Rex:''' What's with this guy? Gets a portrait done in every time period?
: '''Bobo:''' Mm. ''[muffled]'' Truly a nutjob for the ages. Mm. Speaking of nuts... Want some?
: '''Rex:''' You've been dumpster-diving again?
: '''Bobo:''' I prefer "foraging."
: '''Rex:''' Yeah. Nice sleuthing there, doc.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Nanites decay at a measurable half-life. I set our sat-net to do a global scan for the same frequency-- Ergo, Rome.
: '''Rex:''' Great. You scan for the next stop, we'll grab a pizza.
: '''Bobo:''' Pass. I'm experiencing inexpicable gastric distress.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, it would take months to scan the entire spectrum. You need to find the next decay frequency.
: '''Rex:''' Kind of like nanite connect-the-dots! Can I do it with someone else?
: '''Bobo:''' Hey, quiet, you! Rah!
: '''Rex:''' This goose chase just got a little wilder. My brother's here.
: '''Caesar:''' Caesar to Black. We've detected paleo-nanites. Tachyon readings negative. We're moving to the next hot stop.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Tachyons-- They want Van Kleiss' time machine. Follow them.
: '''Rex:''' Come on.
: '''Bobo:''' Can you give me a teeny sec? I gotta find the little gladiators' room.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Advances in the last two millenia have allowed me to complete my lab in weeks instead of months. Restrict the flow! Do you want to overload the power cells? Meanwhile, my own nanite supply continues to dwindle.
: ''[Septimius Severus panting]''
: '''Septimius Severus:''' Great Vanklios, protect me!
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I've divulged metallurgy and tactics beyond your day. No man may threaten your rule.
: '''Septimius Severus:''' This is no man-- But an apparition!
: ''[Septimius Severus grunts]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' What apparition? Speak, parasite!
: '''Septimius Severus:''' A spirit of doom! Numerous sightings-- The insulare, the rostra, the forum. Listen! It comes! It comes!
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Fool. It only wants me.
: '''Septimius Severus:''' Ugh!
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I release you. Go start a few legends.
: '''Septimius Severus:''' NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
: ''[Septimius Severus gasps]''
: '''Septimius Severus:''' Be gone! I beg of you! Aah!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, those stress lines-- It's the same pattern we saw in Egypt.
: '''Black Knight:''' Report.
: '''Caesar:''' These aqueducts are truly marvels of roman engineering.
: '''Black Knight:''' Have you picked up the next decay frequency?
: '''Caesar:''' Oh-- That. Yes. Uplinking to our global net. Odd. These tachyons seems unrelated to--
: '''Black Knight:''' We have the next target. Scandinavia. Move out. White Knight may have people on the trail. I expect you to do whatever it takes to procure the objective.
: '''Rex:''' Shh!
: '''Caesar:''' I've initiated the same steps as in Egypt! Come along.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, we need that decay frequency.
: '''Rex:''' Just one small problem, doc. This place... is toast.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex? Bobo? Respond!
: '''Rex:''' We're okay, doc. Not a mark on us.
: '''Bobo:''' Same can't be said for my stealth suit. Whoa!
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: ''[Rex and Bobo gasps]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' So many lives... It's become a blur. I don't know who I am anymore. Only that I must sail onward, ever onwoard down the river of time. Never resting, always moving. Further draining my nanite reserves beyond my ability to replenish. And each re-emergence, I am pursued by the nameless force. I now know it's personal. I am a virus-- An infection of space-time. Call it what you like. This is time's antibody. Whether I can borne home or drowned in its currents, this is my final journey.
: '''Rex:''' Hurry! I'm not sure if we here followed.
: '''Bobo:''' I'm sure.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Don't shoot! It's me.
: '''Rex:''' Holiday? Shouldn't you be at the plant, connecting the dots?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' No more dots to connect. The trail ends here. And... I'm reading a humanoid form inside.
: '''Rex:''' I'm confused. Is it a time machine or isn't it?
: '''Caesar:''' It's not a time machine. Are those really necessary?
: '''Rex:''' No way you're getting this time machine, bro!
: '''Caesar:''' I don't want it. And it's not a time machine.
: '''Bobo:''' Well, then, what is it? A meat locker for cold cuts?
: '''Caesar:''' Surprisingly close. We use this technique to transfer unstable nanites. It puts them into a state of dormancy.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Of course. It's a hibernation chamber.
: '''Caesar:''' Only his nanites were dormant. There would still be neuron flow.
: '''Rex:''' Mind telling me what that means, exactly?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' He was... Aware. The whole time, for hundreds of years.
: '''Caesar:''' He would have felt every minute pass.
: '''Rex:''' No way! He's totally a mummy!
: '''Rex and Bobo:''' Wah!
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Run! It's coming! It's coming?!
: '''Rex and Bobo:''' Wah!
: '''Rex:''' Easy, easy, Van Kleiss. You're back-- Back in your own time.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' No! No, it'll find me! It always does! You must protect me.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Tachyon readings off the chart! Rex, you can't affect that thing. I don't know what can.
: '''Caesar:''' It's a field of pure tachyons. I've got to get a sample.
: '''Rex:''' Oh, no, you don't!
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I'm back! Back in my own time! You shall not have me?! OHHHH!
: '''Bobo:''' Settle down, Van Winkle.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Rex shudders]''
: '''Rex:''' Oh, no. It couldn't be. I need some way to contain it!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Tachyons can't be contained!
: '''Caesar:''' Yes, they can. Rex!
: ''[Caesar grunts]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, it's too risky!
: '''Rex:''' But I know what this is. Correction-- I know who this is.
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex:''' Aah!
: ''[Rex groaning]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' It's... Breach.
: '''Rex:''' Breach. Breach! It's me-- Rex.
: '''Breach:''' Rex? Are you real... Or a dream?
: ''[Rex laughs]''
: '''Rex:''' Yeah, yeah, I'm-- I'm real.
: '''Breach:''' I was everywhere-- Everywhen. But I was nothing-- An emptiness, needing to be filled.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' The amp pack. Van Kleiss controlled it. When his nanites were active, Breach was drawn into his timeframe.
: ''[Van Kleiss grunts]''
: '''Caesar:''' The final joining would have destroyed them both.
: '''Breach:''' Guess I should say thanks.
: '''Rex:''' Hey, what are friends for? Um, we are still friends... Right?
: '''Caesar:''' You did well, little bro.
: '''Rex:''' And you have your time machine that... isn't a time machine. Everybody goes home happy.
: '''Caesar:''' That? A curiosity-- True. But it was never our goal.
: ''[Van Kleiss shivering]''
: ''[Van Kleiss chuckles]''
: '''Rex:''' Van Kleiss?! All this for him? what, they're gonna put him in jail?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' It's Providence, Rex. That's their jurisdiction.
: '''Caesar:''' No need to worry, little brother. He's going to be well supervised.
: '''Rex:''' Caesar, what is going on!?
: '''Caesar:''' Justice.
: '''Bobo:''' Two words-- Crème Brûlée. Ooh. Right after I make a french connection.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh!
: '''Black Knight:''' Welcome back, Van Kleiss. You look terrible. Ordinarily, I'd say get some rest, but you've had enough of that, I suppose.
: ''[Van Kleiss chuckles]''
: '''Black Knight:''' Pull it together. We have work to do. Do you know who I am?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Yes. I know who you are. It's been a long time. A very, very long time.
===Mind Games===
: '''Rex''': Yeah, I wouldn't be so sure of that.
: '''Six''': I told you not to get involved, Rex. You're not at full strength.
: '''Rex''': What was I supposed to do-- Just leave it?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Six has a point, Rex. You're pushed to the edge lately. You can't see everyone.
: '''Rex''': Not listening! Don't worry, dude. I'll have you out of here before you can say-- Circe?!
: '''Circe''': Hey, Rex. Rex! Aaaah!
: ''[Circe sighs]''
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Rex! Rex, do you read? What's going on? Your bios are low.
: '''Rex''': Leave her alone! You okay?
: '''Circe''': I think so. We have to go.
: '''Rex''': Think that's your cue. Hang on. I think I got it. Ow!
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex''': Hate this things.
: '''Circe''': Try wearing one.
: '''Rex''': I have. So, what happened? I thought Providence had you at Abysus.
: '''Circe''': I got away.
: '''Rex''': What about the Pack?
: '''Circe''': The Pack? I-- Don't know. Things are bad out there, Rex. I've been on the run for weeks. Providence has been stepping up their capture orders. I think something big is going down.
: '''Rex''': Tell me about it. Listen, I know we're gonna want to say no, but with everything that's going on...
: '''Circe''': I should stay at the plant. It's safer, right?
: '''Rex''': Wow, that was-- Easy. I had a whole speech and everything.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Well, everything checks out. You're the picture of health. I wish you'd let me do some more thorough scans, through.
: '''Six''': How was it you said you got away?
: '''Circe''': It's a long story. You guys have bigger things to worry about than me... like the Meta-Nanites. Did you get the one from Abysus? Have you found anymore?
: '''Rex''': Ugh, who cares? Let's go do something fun. You want to put Bobo' hand in shaving cream?
: ''[Circe yawns]''
: '''Circe''': Actually, Rex, I'm kind of tired. I thing I might just crash if that's cool.
: '''Rex''': Oh... yeah. Stupid of me. You, uh, get some sleep. Hey, doc. What are you doing?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Rex. I was just... working. What are you doing up?
: '''Rex''': Ah, it's... stupid.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Yeah, probably. But... go ahead.
: '''Rex''': I'm... excited. Since I got breached, everything's been so crazy.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Since you got breached? Right.
: '''Rex''': But with Circe back, I'm starting to think maybe things will turn out okay.
: '''White Knight''': I need everyone in the situation room in five minutes.
: '''Rex''': So much for that.
: ''[Dr. Holiday yawns]''
: '''Dr. Holiday''': What'd I miss?
: '''Rex''': Wow, Doc. You sure got comfy quick.
: '''White Knight''': Listen up, people. We need to retrieve a valuable asset before it falls into enemy hands.
: '''Six''': What's the objective?
: '''White Knight''': This man... Dr. Peter Meechum.
: '''Rex''': That guy? I remember him. Van crazy kiddnaped his daughter.
: '''White Knight''': Meechum spent the last year at a safehouse facility... Codename: Pandora's Box... location know only to me.
: '''Rex''': Why all the cloak and dagger?
: '''White Knight''': Because Meechum was one of the original scientists on the Nanite Project. He was given a panic button in case of emergency. Thirty minutes ago-- He activated it.
: '''Six''': Providence?
: '''White Knight''': We have to assume they're trying to assemble the original members of the Nanite Project. What Meechum knows is too valuable to fall into the wrong hands, so go get him.
: '''Six''': Maybe Circe should stay here.
: '''Rex''': What? Why?
: '''Six''': She's not on the team yet-- Not officialy.
: '''White Knight''': Take her. She'll be useful in the field.
: '''Rex''': Ahem. You guys forget you key? Did you check under the mat?
: '''Six''': Rex, focus on the mission. Get to Meechum!
: '''Rex''': Relax, Six. I could take these guys in my sleep, especially with help from... Huh? Circe? Uh... Time-out?
: '''Six''': Peter Meechum, you need to come with us.
: ''[Dr. Meechum scoffs]''
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Took you long enough.
: '''Rex''': Time in.
: '''White Knight''': Still no sign of Circe, Rex. We'll keep looking, but for right now, Meechum is our top priority.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': We'll find her, Rex. Don't worry.
: '''White Knight''': In the meantime, Dr. Meechum, I've checked, and your daughter is safe at her boarding school in England.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': My daughter. Right.
: '''White Knight''': We can make immediate arrangements to take you to her.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': No, I'd rather stay with you if that's all right. It's, uh-- It's safer.
: '''White Knight''': Of course. White Knight out.
: '''Rex''': So, after that, Providence attacked Abysus to get the Master-Control Nanite. Guess you were next on their list.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': I see. And all this happened in the last year?
: '''Six''': You've missed a lot since you've been away, doctor.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Horrible. I could never work for a Providence like that. I have to say it's all very impressive. Providence has certainly done a lot in the last year.
: '''Caesar''': And with your help, doctor, we can do more.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Where's White Knight? I should tell him I've arrived.
: '''Black Knight''': I can answer that for you. It's good to have you back, doctor.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': What happened to White?
: '''Black Knight''': Just a routine change in command. Nothing to worry about. If you'll excuse me, gentlemen.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Tell me you have my money ready.
: '''Black Knight''': You get away you want when I get what I want... Not before.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Relax.
: '''Six''': I'm a professional, aren't I?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Six, see Meechum? I have some data I'd like to go over with him. Are you... okay?
: '''Six''': Rebecca, I have something important to tell you.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Okay. Well... Thanks for tell me.
: '''Six''': Rex, are you in here? I do not understand this show.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Am I interrupting?
: '''Six''': Not at all. What can I do for you?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Nothing important. I just wanted to say... earlier... that was nice. Unexpected but nice.
: '''Six''': Earlier?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': In the lab?
: '''Six''': I have no idea what you're talking about.
: ''[Dr. Holiday scoffs]''
: '''Rex''': Six, I need to talk to you about Circe. Uh... Six? Earth to agent guy. You okay?
: '''Six''': I'm fine. I've just decided not to waste any more time on you, Rex.
: '''Rex''': Um... Is this because I accidentaly used your swords to slice a pizza?
: '''Six''': It's because you're weak. You don't have what it takes to complete the mission.
: '''Rex''': Ohh, I get it. This is one of your test, right?
: '''Six''': No test. Just me coming to my senses. You're not strong enough to survive what's coming. In the end, you're gonna let us all down.
: ''[Dr. Holiday crying]''
: '''Rex''': Doc? What's wrong?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': ''[Sobbing]'' I-It's nothing, Rex. I didn't want you to see me like this.
: '''Rex''': Well, what is it?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': ''[Sobbing]'' It's Six. I'm afraid of him.
: '''Rex''': What?! That's crazy talk.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': ''[Sobbing]'' Is it? You have to have seen it. He's violent, on edge. He's losing control.
: '''Rex''': Are we talking about the same Six?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': We don't even known him. He was a killer, Rex. The old Six might have changed, but how do we know this Six didn't come back... Wrong?
: ''[Dr. Meechum whistling]''
: '''Dr. Meechum''': I have a question. How do you plan to re-create the project without a bio-interface expert?
: '''Caesar''': Oh, but we do have one.
: '''Van Kleiss''': No! The string doesn't work. Gordian knot, tied up tight. Alexander cheated. Can't cheat. Eyes on your own paper! Peter? No! Can't be! Different time, different me.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Van Kleiss? You brought back that monster?
: '''Caesar''': Of course. He was the original interface programmer. Who better?
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Excuse me a moment. White, what the heck is going on?!
: '''White Knight''': Peter? Where are you?
: '''Dr. Meechum''': I'm at Providence. Where are you?
: '''White Knight''': Providence. But that's not-- I have to go. We have a problem.
: '''Rex''': You're darn right we have a problem, because this isn't Peter Meechum!
: ''[Dr. Meechum laughing maniacally]''
: '''Scarecrow''': Heya, Rex. Miss me?
: '''Rex''': Who are you? Where's Meechum?
: '''White Knight''': His name's John Scarecrow. He's an EVO, specialist in infiltration. Black Knight played us.
: '''Scarecrow''': You really don't remember me, Rex? I'll give you a hint. We used to share a stomping ground. We had a problem with a shapes hifter once.
: '''Rex''': You were in Hong Kong.
: '''Scarecrow''': Give the man a prize.
: ''[Scarecrow laughs]''
: '''Six''': I think he went that way.
: '''Rex''': Wait a minute.
: ''[Rex groans]''
: ''[Scarecrow laughs]''
: '''Rex''': I cannot believe I fell for that.
: '''Scarecrow''': Look at you. You're ridiculous. You think he'll come to his senses, realize his true feelings? Then what? You'll settle down. White picket fence. Little agent kids. You're fooling yourself. You're the worst of them... you know that?... Because you know better. You really think you can save the world? None of you can survive what's coming!
: '''Rex''': Prove it's really you. What's my favorite color?
: '''Six''': I have no idea.
: '''Rex''': It's you, all right.
: ''[Dr. Holiday screaming]''
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Put it away. I'm not the EVO.
: '''Six''': We heard you scream.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': That wasn't me.
: '''Six''': Let's all calm down. We can figure this out.
: '''Rex''': Why, Six? Because I'm weak? You don't think I can handle this?
: '''Six''': I never said that.
: '''Rex''': But you think it, right? I don't see you putting down your guns, doc.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': I know it's not me. I'm not sure about you two.
: ''[Scarecrow laughs]''
: '''Scarecrow''': So easy. I barely had to nudge you.
: '''Rex''': Whatever you're after, you're not getting away with it.
: '''Scarecrow''': Get away with it?! Re-e-e-x, I got what I needed in the first five minutes.
: '''Rex''': Then why? Why do all this?
: '''Scarecrow''': Simple. I wanted to do to you what you did to me.
: '''Rex''': I'm done with you!
: ''[Scarecrow groans]''
: '''Scarecrow''': The big hero. Why do you get to forget? It's not fair!
: '''Rex''': Whine, whine, whine. What... you didn't get enough crazy hugs as a kid?
: '''Scarecrow''': You think I'm the only one you hurt? Then tell me--
: '''Skwydd''': What about us? Why'd you betray me?
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Circe:''' You promised to protect me, Rex. Where were you?
: '''Rex:''' Stop it!
: ''[Rex groans]''
: ''[Rex breathing heavily]''
: '''Caesar''': Face it, bro. It's why I left you. Mom and dad, too.
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex''': You're your own worst enemy.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': That's for Rex. That's for Providence. And that was for the kiss.
: '''White Knight''': Providence won this round. No question.
: '''Rex''': They have the real Meechum. Maybe more.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': There's no telling how much of our system Scarecrow uploaded.
: '''Six''': But we have to assume they know everything we do.
: ''[Scarecrow laughs evilly]''
: '''White Knight''': Black Knight is coming for us. It's just a matter of time.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': So? I mean, we knew that. Nothing's changed, right?
: '''Six''': Rex, this is what they wanted-- To turn us against each other.
: '''Rex''': Yeah, and look how easy it was. We thought we were a team, but we're not. We're vulnerable.
: '''Van Kleiss''': It's Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Looking past Occam's Razor, we can clearly see to a quantum level. A quantum level is what I'm trying to achieve, because if I didn't do the quantum level, then I can understand what's happening.
: '''Caesar''': I know you don't like this, but it's not about us.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Can you do it? Can you control him?
: '''Caesar''': Leave Van Kleiss to me.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': What about Black Knight? I don't like her, Salazar. Never did.
: '''Caesar''': Trust me, Peter-- When we're finished, the end will justify the means.
===Hermanos===
:'''Rex Salazar''': WH-O-O-O-OA! Unh! Ugh!
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Agent Six''': Be careful, Rex.
:'''Rex Salazar''': I'm touched by your concern, Six.
:'''Agent Six''': It's not for you. We don't have Providence to pick up the tab anymore. You break it, you buy it.
:''[Rex growls]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': I'm saving the day here. What are they gonna do--Sue me? Oh, come on! It was a rhetorical question! What was I supposed to do? The whole building was made of glass!
:'''Lawyer''': ''[Hispanic accent]'' Glass? What are you talking about?
:'''Rex Salazar''': I'm... not talking about anything. What are you talking about?
:'''Lawyer''': Mr. Salazar, I'm an associate at the stateside branch of the Argentinean firm Gomez and Gomez. And today, sir, is your lucky day!
:'''Rex Salazar''': What's this?
:'''Lawyer''': It's yours!
:'''Noah Nixon''': No away! This is your house?
:'''Rex Salazar''': I know! According to the lawyer guy, this rancho in Argentina's been in my family forever. And ever since my parents died in the event, those lawyers have been trying to track down the heir. And guess who that is.
:'''Noah Nixon''': You and your brother?
:'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, yeah, right. Him too.
:'''Caesar Salazar''': Not a good time, Rex.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Dude, it's never a good time, but you go to-- O...kay, so maybe this really isn't a good time, but this is important. I was being chased by a lawyer. No, I wasn't being sued this time. But you'll never guess what he--
:'''Caesar Salazar''': Is this about the rancho?
:'''Rex Salazar''': You know about it?
:'''Caesar Salazar''': Those lawyers have left me a dozen messages.
:'''Rex Salazar''': And you didn't tell me? Caesar, I never even knew we had this place! There might be photo albums, home movies-- I don't know-- maybe even an old teddy bear or something.
:'''Caesar Salazar''': You never had a teddy bear.
:'''Rex Salazar''': See, the fact that you know that and I don't-- that's why we need to go down there.
:'''Lawyer''': Clear!
:'''Caesar Salazar''': I can't, Rex. My work's already been interrupted once today. Although... Now that you mention the ranch, it does bring back some memories.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Really? Like what?
:'''Caesar Salazar''': There was an experiment I remember mom and dad running. If you could find the notes, it might save some time on the work I'm doing now.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Notes? Come on. Isn't family more important than-- Guess not.
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Why can't I have a normal brother? Know anything about cows? Thanks for coming with me. This is really a family thing, but my brother is, well-- My brother.
:'''Noah Nixon''': Are you kidding? I'm psyched! I've been killing myself trying to find a birthday present for Claire. A vacation at my best friend's awesome ancestral estate? What other guy could offer her that?
:'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, but then why bring Annie?
:'''Annie''': Um, this just kind of broke off.
:''[Annie, Claire and Noah screaming]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': AAAAAAH!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': I sure hope this isn't included in Six's "You break it, you buy it" policy.
:'''Annie''': Sorry.
:'''Rex Salazar''': No problem. We're here.
:'''Claire Bowman''': Are... you sure this is the place?
:'''Noah Nixon''': What happened to it?
:'''Annie''': Hey, don't look at me. I just got there.
:''[Annie gasps]''
:'''Annie''': Okay, that was me.
:'''Rex Salazar''': I guess this must be my... family.
:'''Claire Bowman''': Looks like you-- But with a 'stache.
:'''Annie''': I like you with a 'stache.
:'''Claire Bowman''': Hey, there are chickens in here!
:'''Annie''': And llamas!
:'''Noah Nixon''': Chicken, llamas-- And a funny-looking bull.
:''[Chiquito snorts]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': I-I-I take it back! You're not funny-looking!
:'''Chiquito''': This place is Durango's!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Well, actually--
:'''Chuquito''': No fancy talk! Just go!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Ugh! Okay, number one, how is "actually" fancy talk! Number two, I don't know who Durango is, but this farm isn't his. And number three--
:''[Chiquito grunts]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Ugh! Ugh! All right, there's no misunderstanding the international language of getting punched in the face. So read my fist-- Get out of my house!
:'''Chiquito''': Durango will not be happy!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, don't know who that guy was, but problem solved.
:'''Noah Nixon''': Uh, you think? Aah!
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Senior Durango''': Calmate, Chiquito. You are my brother. I would not do anything to hurt mi hermano. Unless you force me to. I cannot lose that tract of land. Without its right of way, I will lose my claim on the rest of the county. But never mind. They will learn-- When you mess with the bull, you get the horns.
:'''Rex Salazar''': OHHH! Ugh!
:'''Noah Nixon''': A chicken just tried to poop on my shoe!
:'''Rex Salazar''': I think I can top you there.
:'''Noah Nixon''': No offense, but when I asked Claire to come here, this wasn't what I was hoping for.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Well, me either. I mean, I was thinking I'd find-- I don't know what. But everything in this place has been smashed or stolen. Maybe this whole family thing isn't for me.
:''[Noah gasps]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': That's the one!
:'''Claire Bowman''': Please, Noah. It just needed a little help laying an egg.
:'''Rex Salazar''': ''[Chuckling]'' What, did you grow up on a farm in Kansas?
:'''Claire Bowman''': An apartment in Chicago-- Which is where I learned to download videos onto my phone.
:'''Telephone Voice''': When caring for an egg bearing hen, remember to--
:'''Muchado''': Hola? Quien esta aquí?
:'''Rex Salazar''': Uh... hello?
:'''Muchado''': So, you are the Americans? I am Señor Muchado-- The juez.
:'''Claire Bowman''': That's like a judge?
:'''Muchado''': Sí. For all intents and purposes, I am the law in this county-- Which is why I have come here with him.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Good, because I definitely want to press charges.
:'''Muchado''': You misunderstand. I am here because of the trouble you caused for Chiquito.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Chiquito?
:''[Rex chuckles]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Your mom must have some sense of humor to name you "Tiny".
:''[Chiquito growls]''
:'''Muchado''': Chiquito's brother is Señor Durango. He controls most of the land in this county, including this hacienda. At Señor Durango's request, I have prepared a legal order compelling you to vacate.
:'''Claire Bowman''': But this is Rex's farm.
:'''Annie''': Yeah, he's got a deed and everything.
:'''Muchado''': This might have some bearing-- If you were a Salazar.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Well, we're in luck. I am.
:'''Annie''': Maybe this will help.
:'''Muchado''': You may be a Salazar, but by our law, this land has been deemed abandoned, and Señor Durango has claimed it.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Sorry. Been sort of busy saving the world and stuff. But I'm here now, so consider his claim unclaimed, then reclaimed by me.
:'''Muchado''': It is not so simple. You would have to demonstrate you are actively maintaining the ranch. That means shearing and feeding the animals, bringing your bulls to market--
:'''Rex Salazar''': To market? What, like a... cattle drive?
:'''Claire Bowman''': No problem. We can totally figure out how to do that.
:'''Muchado''': A ranch this size requires at least a dozen hired men.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, just... uh...
:'''Muchado''': No one within 100 kilometers will help you cross Señor Durango. If you do this, you will do it alone. And you will fail.
:'''Claire Bowman''': Well, that guy was kind of a jerk.
:'''Annie''': Yeah. So, let's get to work.
:'''Noah Nixon''': How? Everything here is broken.
:'''Annie''': Uh, have you seen my house?
:'''Rex Salazar''': You guys don't have to do this.
:'''Claire Bowman''': What kind of friend would walk away now?
:'''Noah Nixon''': Uh... yeah! No way you could stop me from helping take care of these totally not-gross animals.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Really?
:'''Noah Nixon''': Well, I'm smiling like that's what I mean, aren't?
:''[Noah exhales deeply]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': I can do this! I can't do this. Until I've done my milking warm-up.
:'''Claire Bowman''': Ugh. Hold this.
:'''Telephone Voice''': With you head resting on her flank, gently grasp the udder with the palm of your hand.
:'''Noah Nixon''': AAH!
:''[Claire giggles]''
:'''Claire Bowman''': I think she likes you.
:'''Noah Nixon''': Ugh!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': This is your home. Get in your home!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Whoa! AAAH! AAH! Ugh! This is hopeless! This farm only has one bull, and I can't even get it into the barn. And this... better just be mud.
:'''Annie''': Hang on! I'll help you!
:''[Annie gasps]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': No! Don't!
:'''Noah Nixon''': Are you guys okay?
:'''Claire Bowman''': What is it? A storm cellar?
:'''Noah Nixon''': Looks like some kind of lab.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Figures. My mom and dad were Caesar's parents, too. Of course they'd find a way to take work home with them. Probably where those notes Caesar wanted are. Might as well grab them before the judge kicks us out.
:'''Claire Bowman''': What's he talking about? I think we're doing a pretty good job taking care of the--
:'''Annie''': Uh, guys--
:''[Claire grunts]''
:'''Claire Bowman''': Wait-- Donkeys eat hay, don't they? Maybe we can use it to lure them back into the barn.
:'''Annie''': I got it! Ugh!
:''[Annie gasps]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': Well, on the plus side, at least we now know for sure that donkeys do eat hay.
:''[On videotape of the Salazar family]''
:'''Rafael Salazar''': One day, these things are going to change the world, and you'll be there to see it.
:'''Violetta Salazar''': ''[Chuckling]'' Caesar, please, mi hijo. Stop working for a minute and hold the camera.
:'''Young Caesar Salazar''': Okay! Okay!
:''[Claire sniffs]''
:'''Claire Bowman''': What's that smell?
:'''Noah Nixon''': Which one? Everything here smells.
:'''Claire Bowman''': No, it smells like... smoke!
:'''Annie''': Rex! The straw caught on fire, and it exploded!
:''[Chiquito growls]''
:'''Chiquito''': Hermano! No! Oomph!
:'''Senior Durango''': What were you thinking? I told you to smoke them out, not burn the land! This is my land! If you weren't my brother--
:''[Chiquito growls]''
:'''Senior Durango''': But you are. Come here.
:'''Rex Salazar''': So, you must be the brother. Hope I'm not interrupting some kind of weird tender moment.
:'''Senior Durango''': Soy Durango. And I hope there is still a chance we can reach a resonable agreement.
:'''Claire Bowman''': So, then you'll let Rex keep the farm? We played by the rules.
:'''Senior Durango''': Around here, I make the rules.
:'''Annie''': But the judge said--
:'''Senior Durango''': The judge works for me. Now, please, I'm giving you one last chance to leave.
:'''Noah Nixon''': Okay, sure! Oh, wait-- That's right. Your fire blew up what was left of our plane!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Uh, let me handle the trash-talking with the 20-foot-tall monster EVO, okay? Leave them out of this! They shouldn't even be here! It should have been my brother!
:'''Senior Durango''': That is why you will lose your farm. Without family, a man is nothing. After all, what is this land to them?
:'''Rex Salazar''': I don't even know what this place is to me. I came here hoping to find out more about who my family is.
:''[Rex start looking at Noah, Claire and Annie, and smile to them]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': And I did. So, you're going to stop threatening them-- And me-- And get off my land.
:''[Durango snarls]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Okay. Here's the plan-- Stay behind me! Whoa! Ugh!
:'''Noah Nixon''': Well, there goes that plan.
:'''Senior Durango''': Hurt them. You can do that, can't you?
:'''Claire Bowman''': W-what do we do now?!
:'''Annie''': The only one of us with powers just got kicked to the curb.
:'''Noah Nixon''': That depends on what you mean by "powers".
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex muffled grunting]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Not a good time, Caesar.
:'''Caesar Salazar''': I just wanted to tell you-- Forget about those notes. I realized that's not what's important about you going down there.
:''[Durango snarls]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Wow, Caesar. I can't believe you came around.
:'''Caesar Salazar''': I just realized-- The really important thing is, if you happen to find a termo-chronometer I remember having down there, it would save me from ordering one.
:''[Chiquito snarls]''
:''[Chiquito growls]''
:''[Chiquito snarls, roars]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': Ugh!
:''[Chiquito snorts]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': This morning, I almost had to touch a cow's underparts. You think you can do me worse than that? Bring it.
:''[Chiquito snarls]''
:''[Chiquito roars]''
:'''Annie''': Ugh! I didn't mean for that to happen.
:'''Claire Bowman''': We did.
:'''Rex Salazar''': AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Ugh! AAAAAAAAAAARGH!
:'''Senior Durango''': OOMPH!
:''[Durango lows]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': WH-O-O-O-O-O-O O-OA!
:''[Durango lows]''
:''[Durango snorts]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': AAAAAAAAH!
:''[Durango growls]''
:''[Durango growls]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Trust me-- My brother's let me down way worse. But what am I gonna do? He's my brother.
:'''Senior Durango''': It is over.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Nice ego there, but I've been hit a lot harder.
:''[Durango spits]''
:'''Senior Durango''': Those bells signal the market is ending soon. I can see you have yet to herd you cattle there.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, come on! The one cattle I've got doesn't even move!
:'''Senior Durango''': If you do not have your cattle to market before it ends, you will have failed to fulfill your deed, and this land will be mine.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Then I guess I don't have any time to waste talking about it.
:'''Claire Bowman''': Come on. Come here.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Forget it. I got this.
:'''Claire Bowman''': WHOO-HOO! Yes! Go, Rex!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Claire Bowman''': Where's Durango?
:'''Rex Salazar''': Oww! Come on! You don't move the whole time, and you can't stay still?
:''[Durango grunting]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': What is this, a western? You're actually trying to stop him with a rockslide?
:'''Senior Durango''': You? Here? How is that even possible?
:'''Telephone Voice''': Donkeys can be ridden surprinsingly fast if you--
:'''Noah Nixon''': Come on! Just give up! The farm belong to Rex. And I really want to get off this thing.
:'''Senior Durango''': You think I'm afraid of you ''[Scoffs]'' boy?
:'''Claire Bowman''': Oh, it's not the boy you should be afraid of.
:'''Annie''': Oops.
:''[Durango grunting]''
:'''Senior Durango''': Ugh!
:''[Rex panting]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': We sheared the llamas, we milked the cows, I got the bull to town. We did everything in the deed.
:'''Muchado''': Sí, sí. But more important, you faced Durango and won! Once the other ranchers hear of this, they won't be afraid. You have broken Durango's hold on our lands.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Wait-- You're... happy about that?
:'''Muchado''': Of course. I told you exactly what you had to do to legally gain control of the land, didn't I?
:'''Rex Salazar''': Huh. I guess you did.
:'''Claire Bowman''': Wow! Can you believe how you perfect this all worked out?
:'''Noah Nixon''': Yeah, uh, so, maybe we should get out of here before we wear out our welcome.
:'''Rex Salazar''': There's just one thing I want to do first.
===The Rescue===

:'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, Circe, you shall learn the ultimate price of betraying me.
:'''Rex:''' ''Leave her alone!!''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, Rex. For young love. One of your greatest weaknesses. After I finish off your beloved, you will no longer be a hindrance to me.
:'''Rex''' (''enraged'')''':''' I ''said''...LEAVE HER ALONE!!!

===Rocky My World===
:'''Beverly:''' Oh, this is so awesome! We're seeing the Trendbenders live!
:'''Rex:''' Well, maybe not see them, but we'll totally hear them. Attention! The Trendbenders will be arriving through the back of the club.
:'''Beverly:''' Slick trick! Yes, Rebecca. I know! Only drink the bottled water. No, we're not that close to the stage. Ugh! I know that's where they mosh-pit. Don't worry! Bye!
:'''Rex:''' Your sister is acting like your mother. I wouldn't put up with it. Doc?! I'm right next to her! Yes, we've got earplugs. Only bottled water-- I know! Yes, you'll pick us up at 11:00. Okay! Bye!
:'''Sly:''' ''[singing]'' I met a guy who has looking for a lucky break. I met a guy mad he wouldn't make a mistake. No loser here the weight would be upon his face. This ain't no lucky break it's just another day.
:'''Beverly:''' Hey!
:'''Rex:''' There's something wrong with that guy.
:'''Beverly:''' Yeah! It's called lack of social skills.
:'''Sebastian:''' We have to talk! You got to listen to me!
:'''Rex:''' I think they're a little too busy for a chat right now.
:'''Sebastian:''' It's me! Your first fan!
:'''Rex:''' Come on, dude. Can't you just watch the show, like everyone else?
:'''Sly:''' ''[singing]'' You won't bring me down. Yeah-yeah-yeah. You won't bring me down.
:'''Sebastian:''' I'm not just everyone else.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Sebastian:''' You want to rethink trying to stop me?
:'''Beverly:''' Whoa! Geek in triplicate!
:'''Rex:''' More like EVO geek.
:'''Sebastian:''' I bet you're not even a real fan!
:'''Rex:''' Hey, I know their music!
:'''Sebastian:''' Yeah? What album is "Bitten on the Wind" from?
:'''Beverly:''' Uh, their first album.
:'''Sebastian:''' Wrong! Their third! Poser!
:'''Sly:''' Here's one from our first album-- "Bitten on the Wind."
:'''Beverly:''' Told ya! Their first album! Who's the poser now?
:'''Sebastian:''' But it is their third. They keep denying their first two albums exist!
:'''Rex:''' Huh?
:''[Rex bones cracking]''
:'''Rex:''' Shouldn't you be home, making sure your mom isn't snooping around your basement? Ouch! All right, I've had enough.
:'''Sebastian:''' I know you. You're that guy from Providence that beats up on EVOs.
:'''Rex:''' And I'm guessing you're not one of my fans.
:'''Sebastian:''' This isn't over! They still need me to show them the way back. I'll make them listen to me.. No matter what! Ugh!
:'''Man:''' No re-entry without a hand stamp.
:'''Rex:''' Uh, but--
:'''JoJo:''' It's okay. He's with me. I'm JoJo, the band's manager.
:'''Beverly:''' Oh!
:'''JoJo:''' Sly Tyler, vocals, six stringer. Burrito Beau on the big bottom, and Leon Adler on the skins.
:'''Beau:''' Bass.
:'''Leon:''' Drums.
:'''Beverly:''' They're even cutter up close!
:'''JoJo:''' But Sebastian isn't. And now that fruitcake fan has become a major menace.
:'''Rex:''' You know who that guy is?
:'''Sly:''' Yeah, he's one of our first fans from way back.
:'''Leon:''' But he didn't like our change in music direction.
:'''Beau:''' Change, like in popular.
:'''Sly:''' So he started sending us nasty e-mails and slagging us on the fan sites.
:'''JoJo:''' But now he's turned violent, and it turns out he's-- H-he's--
:'''Rex:''' An EVO that can multiply himself.
:'''JoJo:''' We can't handle that kind of threat, but you can.
:'''Beverly:''' Is this a job offer?
:'''JoJo:''' As head of security for the rest of the tour.
:'''Rex:''' Huh, I don't know. Putting up with groupies, great music, catering, the Rock'n'roll lifestyle-- Oh, right, like I'm not totally in for this!
:'''Beverly:''' And I'm your deputy, sheriff.
:'''Sly:''' Absolutely.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Absolutely not.
:'''Rex:''' They've got an EVO threat.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Fine, Rex. Beverly? And don't forget to use earplugs.
:'''Rex:''' Private jet to the next gig? Airline-- First class? Coach?
:'''JoJo:''' Of the road kind.
:'''Rex:''' Traveling the open road, bringing music to the people. Where to next?
:'''Beau:''' Eugene, Oregon. ''[Unenthusiastically]'' WHOO-HOO!
:'''Rex:''' Ow!
:'''Leon:''' Bad seat. Got a lot of them.
:''[Beau farts]''
:''[Rex sniffs]''
:'''Leon and Rex:''' Oh!
:''[Leon coughs]''
:'''Leon:''' Isn't the ozone layer depleted enough, Beau?
:'''Rex:''' Want to hit the streets and check out the local scene?
:'''Sly:''' Seriously, man? It's just another town.
:'''Beau:''' Been there. Seen them all.
:'''TV Announcer:''' He's currently under 3, 2 behind the leader. This is a very tricky--
:'''Rex:''' Oh, let's throw this in the pool!
:'''Leon:''' Hey, I'm watching something, dude!
:'''Rex:''' How about a food fight?
:'''Sly:''' Sorry, man. Not feeling it.
:'''Rex:''' This isn't feeling very Rock'n'Roll.
:'''JoJo:''' Rex, we hired you to consult on security, not rock-tour clichés.
:'''Sebastian:''' Room service.
:'''JoJo:''' Again? You guys, this is costing too much.
:'''Sly:''' But we didn't order anything else.
:'''Sebastian:''' That's okay. This is on the house!
:''[Sebastian grunts]''
:''[JoJo gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' Look out! He's got... Paperwork?
:'''Sebastian:''' I've got notes and visuals on where you've gone commercial and how you can get back to your roots! He's with the band now? He's not even a real fan! You see? You've got to come with me. You need my help!
:'''Rex:''' They're not going anywhere, but you are!
:'''Sebastian:''' My copies don't feel pain.
:'''Rex:''' But you do!
:'''Girl:''' Whoa! You must really be a big fan!
:'''Sebastian:''' Only of their early stuff.
:'''Girl:''' Eww! Their early stuff is weak.
:'''Teen girl:''' But their new songs are awesome!
:''[Girls giggling]''
:''[Sebastian growls]''
:''[Girls screaming]''
:'''Rex:''' Excuse me. I'm with the band.
:'''Teen girl:''' But you missed your ride.
:'''Rex:''' That's okay. I've got my own.
:'''Man:''' Rock bands! Never again!
:'''Sebastian:''' I've got to take you away from this sellout existence, where you deny your first two albums even exist.
:'''Sly:''' B-but those albums weren't any good. That's why we only had a few fans, like you.
:'''Rex:''' If there's only three of them, then who's driving the car?
:'''Sebastian:''' Aah!
:'''Rex:''' Did he... Ah! Rent that car from the circus? Time to cut this act short.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Sebastian:''' Oh, man. I went to my first Trendbenders show in that car.
:'''Rex:''' Maybe I can't turn off your obsession, but I can shut down your nanites.
:'''Beau:''' That clone-boy?
:'''Rex:''' I don't think he's going to be a problem now.
:'''JoJo:''' We can still use you on the tour. What did you say?
:'''Rex:''' Yes!
:'''Sly:''' Good man! ''[singing]'' You see the light, and it's oh, so bright, a million times more than before, now we'll show you the door, some starts fade, and some starts shine, the bright ones stand the test of time, the others burn out and sing, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", kill your radio, you live a life for all to see, sometimes it's right, sometimes obscene, now you're the enemy, it's one for all and all for me, unlocking doors and misery, the others burn out and sing, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, out of time, kill your radio, out of time, kill your radio, out of time, kill your radio, it isn't all, that it's cracked up to be, I never thought it'd be so easy, I wouldn't have it any other way, you see the light, and it's oh, so bright, a million times more than before, now we'll show you the door, some starts fade, and some starts shine, the bright ones stand the test of time, the others burn out and sing, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, "yeah".
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Sly:''' At least we got a day off before the next gig.
:'''JoJo:''' Guys, a club owner in fleeceburg just offered us amazing money. I booked it.
:'''Rex:''' For when?
:'''JoJo:''' We're already running late.
:'''Sly:''' They're paying money for us to play in this dump?
:'''JoJo:''' Big money. Come on. You're on in ten minutes.
:'''Rex:''' I'm guessing ticket sales are a little slow.
:'''Leon:''' Are we breaking up?
:'''Beau:''' This dive seems awfully familiar.
:'''Sebastian:''' It should.
:'''Rex:''' That voice seems awfully familiar!
:'''Teens:''' Dude! Nobody move! What's going on? Who's touching me? What is this? Excuse me. What is going on?
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Sebastian:''' I built an exact replica of the first club you played in.
:'''Beau:''' Hey, that's one of my puke stains. Fruitcake knows his details.
:'''Rex:''' But I cured you.
:'''Sebastian:''' Hmm... That was a copy, not the original.
:'''Sly:''' Whatever. When's this gonna end, fan-boy?
:'''Sebastian:''' It ends tonight. Check the floor at your feet.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Sebastian:''' I've given up trying to get you back to your roots. So now you'll play what I want to hear for the next hour. And then your career ends with a bang. :'''Sly:''' On behalf of the band, I'd like to thank our manager, JoJo, for booking this totally insane gig!
:''[JoJo laughs nervously]''
:'''Sebastian:''' The sound of cold, hard cash is the only music sellouts like you listen to anymore.
:'''Rex:''' They're not sellouts. They just got more popular than you wanted.
:'''Sebastian:''' You try anything, and I'll end their last gig prematurely. You're only alive because I want you to see what the Trendbenders used to be like. For the next hour give me the early stuff, when you were cool.
:'''Sly:''' Why bother? You're gonna nuke us, anyway.
:'''Sebastian:''' Because if you don't play, this happens!
:'''Sly:''' Aah!
:'''Leon, Sly and Beau:''' No more!
:'''Sly:''' Okay, dude, what's the first number?
:'''Sebastian:''' "Crawling undertow"!
:'''Sly:''' Well, how does it feel?
:'''Sebastian:''' First album, seventh song. Fifth song on the Japanese import.
:'''Sly:''' To get that weight back on our shoulders--
:'''Sebastian:''' You're giving it a beat that wasn't in the original, man! Not even in the remix from the box set. Play it right this time! I'm missing the concert because of you!
:'''Rex:''' Stinks to be you. Got to cure the real Sebastian. But which one is the mother ship?
:'''Sebastian:''' You can't even play your old songs like you used to. Total disappointment. Let's end this bummer concert.
:'''Sly:''' But we still have over a half-hour left!
:'''Sebastian:''' Last song, no encore.
:'''Rex:''' Tell me who's the original, or I'll turn you into dessert topping!
:'''Sebastian:''' You don't scare me. I don't feel pain.
:'''Rex:''' But the real Sebastian does. Sly! Maximum feedback! Now! Thanks, Doc.
:'''Sebastian''': AAAHHHH!
:'''Rex:''' How do you like their new hit, Sebastian Prime? Here's another new groove you're not going to like.
:'''Sebastian:''' Aah!
:'''Rex:''' Congrats. You're back to being a solo act.
:'''Sebastian:''' You've got to listen to me!
:''[Sebastian yelling]''
:'''Rex:''' Kidnapping, assault and battery, construction without a permit-- that should keep him away for years.
:'''JoJo:''' Have to say it, guys, but we've got a gig in toledo to get to. Security?
:'''Rex:''' Not anymore. Sebastian's done, and so am I.
:'''Sly:''' Dude, I thought you wanted the rock'n'roll lifestyle.
:'''Rex:''' I'm not tough enough for it. I need to get back to something easier, like city-smashing EVOs and conspiracies to take over the world.
:'''Beau:''' Don't know what your missing.
:'''Rex:''' I think do. But I don't miss this. Yes, doc? Don't need my earplugs anymore. I quit. Will you let me tell you? No, the EVO threat wasn't just an excuse. Well, I'm coming back! Will you let-- Doc!
===Lost and Found===
===My Brother's Keeper===
===Target: the Consortium===
: '''Jungle Cat:''' You are...?
: '''Rex:''' Rex. Rex Salazar. What are you?
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Lost... and found.
: '''Rex:''' HUNH! AAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
: ''[Rex gasps deeply]''
: '''Rex:''' Whoa. That was a total zero on the fun meter.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Learning how to communicate with the nanite world isn't about fun. Did you get anywhere at all?
: '''Rex:''' Don't know. I connected with a Master Control Nanite for a second, and then I lost it. But I also got, like, this feeling that something's about to happen in the nanite world. Something... big.
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' Argh! This is Rylander's speciality, not mine. There's no way I can cover for him.
: '''Caesar:''' Not to worry, Dr. Meechum. You won't have to any longer. Dr. Rylander will take over from here.
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' Oh, really, Caesar? From his current location of beyond the grave?
: '''Rylander:''' Actually, Peter, I was never completely dead-- just spread a little thin-- ''[chuckling]'' Moleculary speaking. Caesar's been working on putting me back together.
: '''Black Knight:''' All of them together-- At last. Contact the Consortium. We now have something to show them. Something big.
: '''White Knight:''' Even having two of the Master-Control Nanites doesn't change the vital importance of finding the other three. But the latest intel I've received could give us a way to neutralize the group obsessed with these machines.
: '''Six:''' The Consortium.
: '''Rex:''' Aren't those the money guys that bankrolled the Nanite Project in Providence?
: '''White Knight:''' The same. Formerly made-up of six members, but now five-- Reddick, made his wealth in real estate and construction. Vostock, black market finance and KGB... Zanubian, arms dealing and shipping. Roswell, oil and minerals. Anthony Haden-Scott, worldwide media.
: ''[Rex munches]''
: '''Rex:''' Should we be writing this down for the pop quiz later?
: '''White Knight:''' You may be facing them soon because of the efforts of our stealthiest agent.
: '''Rex:''' Mm! Thank you! I think.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' He's not talking about you.
: '''Rex:''' Hey! It's Evo-cat guy! Uh... sorry-- What's your name? O...kay, cat with no collar, what's in the sack? Bunch of canaries? Well, that's... something.
: '''White Knight:''' Our associate has been tracking the Consortium with a little help from a former member.
: '''Rex:''' I remember him! He's the one Rylander got revenge on with an EVO love letter.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' That he never recovered from. But he's still full of useful knowledge about the other members.
: '''Rex:''' As long as you have a towel handy for the answers.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' The Consortium has financed a new facility for nanite research. All of them will be at that location within the next six hours.
: '''Six:''' And so will we.
: '''White Knight:''' A rare opportunity like this can't be missed. You three will capture the Consortium and bring them to a secure location. Understood?
: '''Rex:''' Purrfectly.
: '''Black Knight:''' Gentlemen, I wanted you here today to--
: '''Reddick:''' "Wanted?" Sounds like a command.
: '''Vostok:''' ''[Russian accent]'' You get to ask, not order.
: '''Black Knight:''' I'm sorry. Let me restate. I asked you here because I can now present some major developments in your quest. I finished construction on the nanite reactor and reassembled against all odds the original science team to run it. Doctors Meechum, systems expert. Salazar, artificial intelligence. Rylander, microengineering. And Van Kleiss, biomechanical integration.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Nanite's recorder locked in. Hologram Rylander saves money on meals. Glow, glow, glow, yipper.
: ''[Van Kleiss smooches]''
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' A human flashlight and a brain-fried babbler. This is what I'm supposed to work with.
: '''Vostok:''' Looks like your geniuses have some issues.
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' ''[British accent]'' I seem to recall there were two other Salazars on the team.
: '''Black Knight:''' They're dead-- And just as well. Considering their actions are responsible for our setbacks, I highly doubt they would have cooperated.
: ''[Jungle Cat snarls]''
: '''Black Pawns:''' Ohh!
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Rex:''' Black Pawns got to talk to their costume designer. Way too stuffy.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Be quiet.
: '''Six:''' Our target?
: '''Roswell:''' ''[Southern accent]'' Little lady, I'm hoping you didn't get me out here just to watch some lab jockeys do their homework.
: '''Vostok:''' I know I've got better things to do.
: '''Black Knight:''' Aside from the all-important reassembly of the science team and activation of the nanite reactor, I do have another development to show you.
: '''Roswell:''' Yeah? What else you got?
: '''Black Knight:''' An acquisition.
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Lost... and found.
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Jungle Cat:''' What's wrong with you?
: '''Rex:''' Forget the Consortium! I know where we can find a Master-Control Nanite.
: '''Six:''' Where?
: '''Rex''': Here.
: '''Six:''' We're doing both. You two get the nanite, I'll get the Consortium.
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' On of the five? That's all?
: '''Reddick:''' You know we need all of the Master-Control Nanites to do us any good.
: '''Vostok:''' What about the two you lost? And the other two still out there?
: '''Black Knight:''' We'll have the other four in due time. Take this back to the vault. But remember that each one has its own useful powers. : '''Roswell:''' Not enough to drag me all the way out there, little lady.
: '''Black Knight:''' "Black Knight".
: '''Black Pawns:''' You're not one of us.
: '''Six:''' Stay clear of the Pawns. They're not buying our cover. Repeat-- Stay clear of the Pawns.
: '''Rex:''' Steel door. A vault!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Jungle Cat:''' That was close.
: '''Rex:''' Got it. Have to be as stealthy as you from now on.
: ''[Jungle Catsnarls]''
: ''[Jungle Cat snarling]''
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Van Kleiss!
: ''[Jungle Cat muffled grunting]''
: '''Rex:''' Way not to be stealthy. Sorry, cat guy. I know you want payback for him turning you into stone and all, but the nanite is more important.
: '''Black Pawns:''' Security alert. Intruder.
: ''[Jungle Cat snarls]''
: '''Jungle Cat:''' You find the nanite. I'll be a diversion.
<hr width80%>
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' She has shown us some progress. That one nanite is significant in itself.
: '''Reddick:''' It's all five or nothing. Or are you thinking of working a separate deal with the one?
: '''Vostok:''' Can we please not talk like this while those two are in the room?
: '''Roswell:''' Yeah, Xanubian, put a sock in all your yammerin'.
: '''Black Pawns:''' Another intruder at security zone three. It's Agent Six.
: '''Rex:''' Gotcha.
: '''Black Pawns:''' Unh! Aah!
: '''Rex:''' I'll take that. Six! I've got the nanite!
: '''Six:''' Meet your outside.
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: ''[Jungle Cat snarls]''
: '''Rex:''' I've got it! Let's scat, cat!
: '''Black Knight:''' If he's here-- So is Rex. Vault security, come in.
: '''Reddick:''' Is there a problem?
: '''Black Knight:''' A minor security issue. I'm taking care of it.
: '''Vostok:''' ''[Russian accent]'' You better, little lady.
: '''Rex:''' Well, mission half accomplished.
: '''Six:''' This should complete it.
: '''Rex:''' You planted a bomb?!
: '''Six:''' Plan "B".
: '''Rex:''' The cat! He's still inside! No! We've got to go back for the cat! He's on his own mission. Van Kleiss is there.
: '''Six:''' Understood.
: '''Black Pawns:''' Black Knight, shouldn't we evacuate?
: '''Black Knight:''' The security threat has been removed. Among other things. Track them, find them.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Interlace template, instal copper buffers, hold the mayo, set core temp, heat cold fries.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Remember me?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Someone let the cat in.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' You cast me aside as if I was garbage. Turned me to stone. Drained me of life-- Almost. Now it's your turn to suffer.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Had a kitty once. Not you. Bubbles liked catnip and parsnips. Chapped lips. Hip, hip, hooray!
: ''[Jungle Cat growls]''
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' If you're here to clean up, ask for directions, not Dr. Screwloose.
: '''Rex:''' Ugh! Meechum. Bro. He's here to put Van Kleiss out of the world's misery. Give me a reason why he shouldn't.
: ''[Jungle Cat growls]''
: '''Rylander:''' Because the world needs him right now, Rex.
: '''Rex:''' Dr. Rylander! How did you--
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Rex:''' ''[to Caesar]'' You got it to work.
: '''Rylander:''' I've looked better, I'll admit, but I'm still very much alive. And so happy to see you again.
: '''Rex:''' If you could bring him back--
: '''Caesar:''' Sorry, Rex. It won't work for mom and dad.
: '''Rex:''' So, you've come back-- But you're working for them!
: '''Rylander:''' It seems crazy, I know, but look at our progress-- The nanite reactor is almost operational!
: '''Rex:''' Not if I destroy it.
: '''Black Knight:''' Surround them.
: '''Caesar:''' Trust me, hermano, We're doing the right thing.
: '''Rex:''' You keep saying that, but I don't believe it anymore!
: ''[Jungle Cat snarls]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Bubbles, I'm sorry. Here, kitty, kitty. Left you out in the rain, rain go away--
: ''[Jungle Cat snarls]''
: ''[Jungle Cat snarling]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh! Easy on the hot sauce, Peter, Peter pumpkin two seater.
: '''Rylander:''' ''[to Caesar]'' Tell him, Caesar!
: '''Rex:''' Tell me what?
: '''Six:''' Revenge time is up.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Jungle Cat snarls]''
: ''[Jungle Cat roars]''
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' Aah! Careful! Our work! Ugh! Take it outside!
: '''Rex:''' Ugh!
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Rex. Rex Salazar.
: '''Rex:''' I can't talk now! Ugh!
: '''Black Knight:''' Thank you.
: '''Rex:''' You're so not welcome.
: '''Black Knight:''' You should have left when you had the chance.
: ''[Black Knight grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' You guys have such a great cafeteria.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Had to come back for more.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Aah! Unh!
: '''Six:''' Unh!
: ''[Black Knight grunting]''
: '''Black Knight:''' Unh!
: '''Six:''' UNNNNNNNNH!
: '''Black Knight:''' Ugh!
: ''[Jungle Cat snarls]''
: '''Rex:''' Let's say adiós.
: '''Six:''' There's still plan "B".
: '''Rex:''' We're not assassins.
: '''Six:''' You're not. This might be our one chance.
: '''Rex:''' To be like them? Then what makes us different?
: '''Six:''' Go. I'm right behind you.
: '''Roswell:''' You brought us into an ambush! Right behind you, Mr. Chatterbox.
: '''Vostok:''' You are cowards.
: '''Reddick:''' Graveyards are full of dummies that thought they were though.
: '''Vostok:''' Black Knight, we have a lot to discuss about your future.
: '''Black Knight:''' By all means, let's talk.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Where's Six?
: '''Rex:''' He said he was right behind us.
: '''Six:''' I am. The Consortium still has to be dealt with.
: '''Rex:''' We now have three Master Control Nanites. I'd say the Consortium has to deal with us.
: '''Six:''' Understood.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Purrfectly.
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' I'm shocked. What happened?
: '''Black Knight:''' It seems Vostok had an unfortunate run-in with our intruders as he was leaving. But, there's good news. The reactor is gone. Soon we will have all the nanites we need.
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' "We"?
: '''Black Knight:''' I think it's time we walked about my promotion.
===Convergence===
===Enter the Nanite World===
===Enemies Mine===
: '''Valve:''' Battle is to be waged between your courage and my power. You lose.
: '''Gatlocke:''' Valve, my friend. Lovely day for a riot, don't you think?
: '''Valve:''' What do you want, Gatlocke?
: '''Gatlocke:''' I want lots of things-- A doomsday weapon, my own private island, for my mom to stop calling me to fix her computer. But what I really want is to give you a message. It's time. I suppose I'll make the introductions.
: '''Valve:''' A biker needs no introduction. And everyone knows Hunter Cain.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Everything is going according to plan. We get one more thing. Then we get wrecked.
: '''Rex:''' Sorry we're late.
: '''Bobo:''' We're not late. We're fashionably early.
: '''Providence Agent:''' I was starting to think I was on my own. I've been calling for help, but Providence hasn't answered.
: '''Six:''' What set this off?
: '''Providence Agent:''' No idea. One moment everything was fine. The next moment, complete chaos.
: '''Rex:''' I'm heading in. I'll lock up when I'm done. Oh, don't bother getting up. I'm just gonna knock you back down again.
: '''Bobo:''' Back in your cages, you filthy animals!
: '''Rex:''' Huh? What? You? It's a who's-who of old EVOs. Whew! Really not in the mood for this. You're kidding me. You?!
: '''Gatlocke:''' Three men, one objective, no rules. Oh, this is exciting, isn't it? Or is it just me?
: '''Valve:''' The others are saying that Rex is here. Rex will get his when we're ready.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Watch yourselves. This one's unpredictable. We know what you want, No-Face. Then we can give it to you. Do what we say. Then you'll get Rex. You'll get the chance to tear Rex apart. Piece by piece. Now we're ready.
: '''Rex:''' So you remember who I am. Surprised you have a big enough brain for that. These cells are pretty dull. Let's redecorate. No way I'm letting an EVO get won over on me. Especially a big old frog.
: '''Gatlocke:''' Almost out. Freedom is just a... Bottomless ravine away.
: '''Valve:''' The biker begs the question, how are we getting across?
: '''Gatlocke:''' You know that's not really how begging the question is supposed to be used. Are we kidding? Anyone who gets worked up over that phrase needs to be savagely beaten.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' This'll override the drawbridge system.
: '''Gatlocke:''' Ooh, now how would someone like you procure something like that?
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Friends and hide places.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, frog legs. Let's put you in solitary confinement.
: '''Bobo:''' Do you look like you got run over by an overstuffed garbage truck?
: '''Rex:''' Feels like it. This is a prison riot. Where's Providence? They should be all over this.
: '''Six:''' They never responded to any calls.
: '''Rex:''' It's a setup. Providence wanted this to happen. But why?
: '''Six:''' Six here. Go ahead.
: '''Rex:''' Wait. This bridge wasn't down before.
: '''Bobo:''' Yeah. About that. Some of the prisoners escaped together. Gatlocke...
: '''Rex:''' That's bad.
: '''Bobo:''' Hunter Cain...
: '''Rex:''' That's even worse!
: '''Bobo:''' Valve.
: '''Rex:''' That's... Really? Valve?
: '''Bobo:''' Yeah. And No-Face.
: '''Rex:''' Those four are loose? Together?
: '''Six:''' We've got a bigger problem.
: '''Rex:''' How can it be bigger than this?
: '''Six:''' The EVOs in the city-- The only thing keeping them tame are their control collars.
: '''Rex:''' And this is a problem because...?
: '''Six:''' Because someone has shut them all down.
: '''Rex:''' Let me get that for you.
: '''Bobo:''' Dumpster dog. Considering you used to ride around in the Paris, I guess you're moving up in the world. Main to your mud.
: '''Six:''' Are you injured?
: '''Rex:''' Just worn out. Is this day over yet?
: '''Bobo:''' Oh! Signs pointing no.
: '''Rex:''' Huh? That came from the track. Can you handle things here?
: '''Bobo:''' Only one way to find out. Valve. Those nanite superchargers you keep using are bad for your health.
: '''Valve:''' If I were you, I'd be more concerned with your own short-term health.
: '''Rex:''' Please, like I have anything to worry about from you. The other three, they're dangerous. You, you're just comedy relief.
: '''Valve:''' I am not. Comedy relief.
: '''Rex:''' Well, you're not funny, that's for sure.
: '''Valve:''' Like the road that continues on, so must the biker.
: '''Rex:''' Where did he go so? Ew! Get away from my tacos, cockroach! Huh? You running away? I'll give you this much, Valve. Maybe you're getting smarter.
: '''No-Face:''' Unlike you.
: '''Rex:''' I put you away once, No-Face. I'll do it again.
: '''No-Face:''' The one who makes machines. The one we've been waiting for.
: '''Rex:''' Huh? Figures you try to shoot a guy in the back.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' All I see is a filthy EVO.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, first off, that Lai is tired. Second off, last time I checked, you're teaming up with one. Would that make you an EVO lover? All this hide and seek is wearing me down! Huh? Figures.
: '''Gatlocke:''' Leaving so soon? That's not going to impress the hiring committee. Now, let's see what we have here. "Honor roll, A/V Club." Ugh. "Glee Club." ''[Scoffs]'' I'm going to have to be brutally honest with you. You're perfect for my gang. Can you sing soprano? My last soprano drove his motorcycle off a cliff. He survived, but his voice was never the same. By the way, can you fly? This is quite the surprise. I'm willing to hire you, Rex, but you better have some excellent references.
: '''Rex:''' Back to prison, Gatlocke!
: '''Gatlocke:''' Then consider the offer rescinded! You could be a valued member of my gang. It's a tough job market out there, you know?
: '''Rex:''' I'd never work for you!
: '''Gatlocke:''' No, not with that attitude, you wouldn't. Welcome to my gang. Your first task is to destroy Rex-- That guy right there.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Gatlocke:''' Your second task is to complete harassment training. I teach the class. This pamphlet explains everything.
: '''Rex:''' No, no, no!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, come in. What's happening?
: '''Rex:''' One really bad day.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Your nanite readings are off the charts.
: '''Rex:''' No surprise. I've been fighting and curing EVOs non stop.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' We need to upload your nanites immediately.
: '''Rex:''' Now? Doc, my four worst enemies are still on the loose. Well, my three worst enemies in Valve. Plus the city's in chaos. And where in the world is Providence? How come they're not here dealing with this?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Six and Bobo can mop up the last few EVOs. You have to offload.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, fine. But we better make it fast.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You'll be locked in the chamber for one hour.
: '''Rex:''' Just do it, doc.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' This could be a long sixty minutes.
: '''Valve:''' According to the tracking bug, Rex is inside.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Gentlemen, this is what we've been waiting for. It's time for Rex to die.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' They followed him.
: '''Gatlocke:''' After we kill Rex. We should work together and form a team call ourselves... Gatlocke and the kitty cats.
: '''Valve:''' Silence your mouth or the biker will silence it for you.
: '''Gatlocke:''' Oh, Valve. You can pretend to be angry, but deep down, you know you're a kitty cat.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' They know we're here.
: '''Gatlocke:''' You're quite feisty. Have you ever considered a career in the fast growing field of post apocalyptic gangs?
: '''Valve:''' She has spirit. Valve the biker will see that spirit crushed.
: '''Gatlocke:''' You're Gatlocke's favorite kitty cat. Hmm. Rrr.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Don't follow her. She's trying to lead us away from Rex. Rex is close-by.
: '''Valve:''' Rex's chamber... Five minutes to spare.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' More than enough time.
: '''Gatlocke:''' I could have sworn that we'd agreed to take Rex out together.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' I'm changing the terms of the deal if you have a problem with that, feel free to stand right where you are. I've waited a long time for this. Rex!
: '''Valve:''' Empty? Or a trick of the mind?
: '''Rex:''' Isn't that obvious? Then again, that tracking bug you stuck on me was obvious, too. And the fake countdown? Obvious. It only took me thirty minutes to upload my nanites. You wanted to run me ragged so you could get me. Instead, here you are all in one place. Gotcha!
: '''Valve:''' UGHH!
: '''Rex:''' UGHHHH! I still don't get why you enlisted Valve. I mean, he's really a third-string bad guy.
: '''Valve:''' Valve is the biker. A biker is dangerous.
: '''Rex:''' Hmm. Yeah. No.
: '''Valve:''' Rrrr!
: '''Rex:''' So unpredictable. Like a third-string bad guy.
: '''Valve:''' AAAAH!
: '''Gatlocke:''' I have a horrible sneaking suspicion that he's winning.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Then do something about it!
: '''Gatlocke:''' Don't have to yell. A kind word will get you much further.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Gatlocke:''' UGHHH! Oh! Oh! Oh ho ho! Ouch! My back! My front and my back! OHH! This is total, total agony!
: ''[Gatlocke gasps]''
: '''Gatlocke:''' ''[Calmly]'' I'm okay. Really. I'm fine.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' You're lucky. I'll give you that. But you're only delaying the inevitable. You can't beat us all!
: '''Rex:''' I never intended to. This offload facility? I reprogrammed it. My surplus nanites aren't being stored. They're powering the shield.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' It's a trap!
: '''Rex:''' Have fun keeping each other company!
: '''Bobo:''' What a day.
: '''Rex:''' You know, none of this would have happened if Providence hadn't released the convicts and turned out all those EVOs.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' They did that to keep you busy.
: '''Rex:''' Keep me busy from what?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' The Nanite Project. We just found out. While we dealt with the EVOs, Black Knight got her hands on another Master-Control Nanite.
: '''Rex:''' Then it's time.

===Endgame, Part One===
: '''Rex:''' It was going to happen sooner or later. We had most of the pieces, so it was only a matter of time before the Black Knight made her move. And of all the chances she had to attack, it had to be tonight... at this very moment... while I was in the shower. Huh? How many?
: '''Six:''' Should it matter?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Can't you do any better than that?
: '''Bobo:''' I thought you'd never ask.
: '''Rex:''' Rah! Yah!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' If they get to the Meta-Nanites, we still have options.
: '''Rex:''' Of the self-destruct kind? No, thanks, doc. It's not going to end that way... hopefully.
: '''Black Knight:''' We'll dispense with the pleasantries. You know what we want.
: '''Rex:''' There is no way you're walking out of here with the nanites.
: '''Black Knight:''' You seem so certain.
: '''Rex:''' We've beaten you before. Every single time, in fact. So, this time is different... How? Okay, that's different. Ugh! You're an EVO?!
: '''Black Knight:''' Do you think you were the only one they experimented on back in the day? You were the guinea pig. Consider me the new-and-improved version.
: '''Rex:''' Okay. Before we go any further, I should probably explain a few things. It started when a bunch of rich guys decided they wanted to live forever, so they got the best scientists in the world to figure out how. The answer was nanites. These microscopic machines would cure disease, end hunger, and pretty much make the world a better place. My parents and older brother were on the team, and so was this guy. Look familiar? Van Kleiss. Then one day there was an accident. To save my life, my parents injected me with nanites. It worked. But there were a few crazy side effects, like the fact I could talk to machines and, later on, build some pretty cool things. That got the rich guys thinking-- How far could we take this? Turns out pretty far. These little machines could control the very fabric of the Universe, but they would need a Master-Control Nanite to program all the others and tell them what to do. Energy, gravity, time/space, elemental, mechanical-- All the things that make the Universe run. Combined together, they would pretty much make you a God. And when my brother and parents found out the Consortium was about to put these nanites inside themselves, they sort of freaked out in a "got to save the Earth" kind of way. Something had to be done to stop it. Turns out that meant blowing the whole thing up, better known as "The Nanite Event". That didn't end well for my parents. While everyone else ran away, my parents were trapped inside. Sill not sure how. There was some good news-- No more Master-Control Nanites. And the bad news? Dangerous unprogrammed nanites got spread across the world, and nanites plus DNA equals EVO. My brother Caesar got caught in a time warp during his escape. Van Kleiss got blown to smithereens and became the world's biggest pain in the nanite. And me? I got amnesia and traveled the globe living the good life... At least, that's how I tell it. The only part I know of wasn't all that much to brag about. I did get some good friends and a few enemies out of the deal. Turns out that losing my memory was a regular thing for me. Last time I woke up and said, "Who Am I?" It was when this guy found me-- Agent Six. He worked for Providence, sort of a global police force created to clean up after the event. It was paid for mostly by the same group of goons that started the whole thing-- The Consortium. It was great for a while. I had my own personal doctor, a chimp sidekick, a cool best friend to hang with. I was a full-fledged hero. The world loved me, and my powers kept getting better and better. Van Kleiss was still a pain, but I managed to take care of him. A few times, actually. Then things started to get not so cool. My brother shows up from out of nowhere. I get thrown six months into the future to find White Knight kicked out of Providence and this lady in charge-- Black Knight. She's been the lapdog of the Consortium from day one, and now her bosses want to pick up where they left off. Most of the old team of scientists have been reunited, and together, they've restarted the nanite program. The Master-Control Nanites were spread across the globe in the first explosion, and we've been racing against Providence to get them back. So far, we've been winning that fight, and that pretty much brings us to right now.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Black Knight grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' The Black Pawns are robots?!
: '''Black Knight:''' Total obedience at the flip of a switch. Can you blame me?
: '''Black Pawn:''' What's so funny?
: '''Six:''' I hold back against people. You're not people.
: ''[Bobo Haha grunts]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Black Knight grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Huh? Ugh!
: '''Feakins:''' Hey! Hey! Take it easy, would you? Oh!
: '''Rex:''' Fitzy?!
: '''Feakins:''' Heh? Sorry, guy. They found me. She's hard to say "No" to... and live.
: '''Black Knight:''' Well put, Mr. Feakins. And thanks to his unique ability, we can set aside our nanite enhancements and do this the old-fashioned way.
: '''Rex:''' Come on. That's not fair. I'm unarmed!
: '''Black Knight:''' Precisely.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Stop! Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad idea.
: '''Rex:''' Listen to the crazy guy.
: '''Black Knight:''' Why are you here, Van Kleiss?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I forgot. Oh, no, wait. I remember. He's got a Master-Control Nanite swallowed up inside him. It's been hiding, the naughty thing.
: '''Rex:''' On second thought, don't listen to him. He's, uh-- He's crazy, remember?
: '''Black Knight:''' You're sure of this?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, yes, yes. Quite sure. Do you have any mints?
: '''Black Knight:''' I want Rex at the lab. Restrain and sedate him.
: '''Rex:''' How, hold on a minute.
: '''Feakins:''' Hey! What about me?
: '''Black Knight:''' I'm not taking any chances. He stays with Rex. Kill the others.
: '''Rex:''' Ugh! Ahh.
: '''Master-Control Nanite:''' Human.
: '''Rex:''' What are you telling me? What do you want?
: '''Master-Control Nanite:''' Complete. Complete. Complete. Complete. Complete.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, I get it. How?
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Caesar:''' Calm down, Rex. You're safe.
: '''Rex:''' Safe?! Black Knight and her robo-troopers just came knocking, and Van crazy says I have a Master-Control Nanite inside me!
: '''Caesar:''' Fascinating, isn't it? All this time, it's been hiding undetected inside you. I wonder if this particular control unit is responsible for his unique nano-evolution.
: '''Rex:''' Are any of you even listening to me?
: '''Feakins:''' Boy, I am. It's like a movie but real! I just want to go start pressing buttons. Can I get another milkshake?
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' How exactly do you plan on getting it out of him?
: '''Black Knight:''' I have a suggestion. Tear it out.
: '''Rylander:''' It would kill him.
: '''Black Knight:''' That's none of my concern.
: '''Caesar:''' The nanite is tied to his DNA. Simply pulling it out of him would ruin the nanite.
: '''Rex:''' And me, too, remember?
: '''Caesar:''' The only way this will work is if we put him in the cyclotron with the other Metas. It should extract automatically during the reassembly.
: '''Black Knight:''' And if it doesn't?
: '''Caesar:''' Hmm. Good question.
: '''Rex:''' Here's another one-- Don't I get a say in this? Like, isn't this the exact thing that our parents died trying to stop?
: '''Black Knight:''' Take him to the hub and prepare for the transfer. The Consortium is here and extremely impatient. I want this finished within the hour.
: '''Feakins:''' Aah! Hey, what am I-- Sandpaper? Not so rough! ''[sputtering]'' Rough.
: '''Rex:''' Glad someone can see the humor in this.
: '''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, see that Rex is well taken care of.
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' ''[to Caesar]'' I hope you know what you're doing, Salazar. This is a huge risk we're taking.
: '''Rylander:''' Listen to Peter. The thing we swore to stop at any cost, the thing that took your parents-- It could happen-- Right here, today!
: '''Caesar:''' It can't, and it won't. You'll have to trust me on this.
: '''Rylander:''' You can only say that so many times, Caesar.
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' We've been waiting almost an hour. Not even refreshments?
: '''Black Knight:''' You can have your snack after we become Gods.
: '''Roswell:''' "We"?
: '''Black Knight:''' That's right-- "We." None of this would be possible without my efforts.
: '''Roswell:''' And our money, sister.
: '''Black Knight:''' By all means, have your contempt. There's plenty of room buried next to the Russian if you'd like to keep him company. That's what I thought. Now, if you'll follow me--
: '''Bobo:''' "Kill the others." Not gonna happen, lady. We're bulletproof. Ow! Hangnail.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Ugh! We know where they took him. Why are we here? We need to go get Rex.
: '''Six:''' I agree. We just don't have the resources, Rebecca. We'd need an army.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You've been known to make the impossible happen, Six. How hard could that be?
: '''Six:''' Six here. Copy that. We just got ourselves an army.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You see?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' That will be all.
: '''Feakins:''' But the lady said-- Good luck, Kid.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' These restraints were made for you. You're very special, you know.
: '''Rex:''' Lucky me.
: '''Caesar:''' Van Kleiss... leave us.
: '''Rex:''' I really hate you.
: '''Caesar:'''I know how this looks, Rex.
: '''Rex:''' But what? I just have to trust you? Is that what you were going to say? Just help me-- Please.
: '''Caesar:''' It may not seem like it, but I am.
: '''Rex:''' Caesar... I'm scared.
: '''Caesar:''' So am I, little brother. This will all be over in a few minutes.
: '''Rex:''' It's already over! When I get out of this, I never want to see you again!
: '''Rylander:''' Commencing countdown.
: '''Roswell:''' WHOO-HOO!
: '''Reddick:''' Payback time!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Caesar:''' This won't be entirely unpleasant. It should feel similar to when you offload surplus nanites.
: '''Rex:''' Stop! You can't do this! You can't merge!
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' Something's wrong.
: '''Rylander:''' Of course something's wrong. The kid is fighting it.
: '''Caesar:''' This could be bad.
: '''Rylander:''' You have to tell him, Caesar!
: '''Caesar:''' Rex, you have to stop. Listen to me. The nanites are supposed to do-- Rex? Can you hear me?
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' Actually, he can't. There's a short in the comm relay.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' This would be a wonderful day for a picnic.
: '''Rex:''' RA-A-A-A-A-A-H!
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' Ugh!
: '''Black Knight:''' Ugh!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' So much for that plan.
: ''[Rex laughs]''
: '''Rex:''' Oh, serves you right. All that and you come out of the oven looking like freaks. Nice job!
: '''Black Knight:''' It's not exactly what we were expecting, but it's a start.
: '''Reddick:''' This isn't what we agreed to.
: '''Roswell:''' Where's the rest of our power? This is all messed up!
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' How can this be possible?
: '''Rylander:''' The Meta-Nanites were dispersed between the five. This is quite a surprise.
: '''Caesar:''' We've got to get Rex out of there. Step aside, Van Kleiss.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' They still don't have what they want... and neither do you.
: '''Black Knight:''' You're angry. I can see that. If you want to take it out on anyone, it should be Rex.
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' I think I can agree to that.
: '''Roswell:''' Count me in! This might actually be fun!
: '''Rex:''' Let's think about this for a second. Whoa!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' How 'bout that? Exactly one second. Whoa! Aah!
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' What a perfect way to learn to use our powers-- Tearing this brat apart.
: '''Rex:''' Only one problem with that, sparky. I've been using my powers a whole lot longer-- And I'm pretty good.
: '''Roswell:''' You got any ideas here, missy, or we gonna stand around and get it handed to us?
: '''Black Knight:''' The Meta-Nanites were designed to work together. So will we.
: '''Rex:''' What? Are you gonna join together to make a robo-mutant?
: '''Black Knight:''' That's exactly what we're going to do.
: '''Rex:''' I need to stop giving them ideas. Huh?
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Black Knight:''' No one the help you-- No family, no friends, nothing. It's a terrible way to go.
: '''White Knight:''' Captain Calan, target the base. All weapons, sire.
: '''Providence Agent:''' Fire control reports they're being jammed, sir.
: '''White Knight:''' Only one salvo. Black Knight must have prepared for this.
: ''[Rex groans softly]''
: '''Rex:''' Big giant robot. Black Knight.
: '''Six:''' We know.
: '''Rex:''' Have to... stay and stop them.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Another time, Rex.
: '''Rex:''' I-I--
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Holiday to White Knight. We have Rex.
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' We're just gonna watch them go?!
: '''Black Knight:''' Let Providence have their weapon back. With our combined power, the world is ours.
===Endgame, Part Two===
:'''Black Knight:''' Science has given us a tremendous gift-- Nanites. We've seen what they can do-- The good and the bad. But they're true potential has been largely unseen. Until now. Our goals are varied. Fame... power... revenge... wealth... order. Yet, one thing unites us-- Greed. You're surprised I admit it? Well, don't be. You'll never get far in life without wanting it all. And for those who might consider standing in our way... We'll let our powers speak for themselves. The world is ours. And no one can stop us.
:''[Roswell laughs]''
:'''Roswell:''' This is more fun than my first rodeo. What else you got?
:'''Six:''' Any change?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' He's sleeping. The nanites in him are making repairs. That's a good thing. He's a tough kid, Six.
:'''Six:''' I know.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' See you next time. Judging by what you fed us for lunch, I'm guessing twenty minutes. Can't even go to the little scientists' room without them breathing down our necks. How long are we going to put up with this?
:'''Caesar:''' I know it's not easy working under these circumstances.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' Do you? I don't hear you complaining, or have you even noticed that we're prisoniers?
:'''Rylander:''' Gentlemen, please. Can we focus on a more important problem? The Consortium's gain of power is a troubling outcome. Something should be done.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' If you're talking about stopping them, I'm listening.
:'''Black Knight:''' I want you all in the boardroom in three minutes.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' The world is being taken over by nanite-fueled ex-c.e.o. Psychos, and they still act like they're running a business.
:'''Roswell:''' You nerds gave us a raw deal. I want a do-over.
:'''Caesar''': A do-over?
:'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' What my colleague means to say is that our powers are remarkable to be sure, but we only have one seventh of what we were promised.
:'''Rylander:''' You're asking a lot.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' You're asking the impossible. You'd be lucky to survive the extraction.
:'''Caesar:''' This is true. You may be powerful, but you're not Rex.
:'''Black Knight:''' I share your disappointment, gentlemen. But are you willing to lose everything for this?
:'''Roswell:''' Go big or go home.
:'''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, what do you have to say?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Easy-peasy. I can do it. It's only a matter of correctly calibrating the bio-filters with the homing frequency of the nanites. By the way, have you seen my socks?
:'''Caesar:''' Van Kleiss--
:'''Black Knight:''' Has an assignment. The rest of you... Stay out of trouble.
:'''Rex:''' You started without me.
:'''Six:''' Glad to see you up and around. Something bothering you?
:'''Rex:''' Besides black knight taking over the world? I'm trying to find my friends. I know Providence took them.
:'''Six:''' We're working on that.
:'''Rex:''' And are we doing anything about the Consortium? What about... The robot? The one I can build. Don't play dumb, Six.
:'''Six:''' Come with me.
:'''Rex:''' That's me? No way! All this time, I could have been making myself into that thing? Ohh! Maybe not.
:'''Six:''' Evidence suggest that you've never been able to control it. It's a weapon of last defense. This was filmed on the day that I found you. It was also the day I made a promise that it would be the last time you ever built this machine.
:''[Rex scoffs]''
:'''Rex:''' Or what, you'd kill me? You plan on keeping that promise?
:'''Six:''' Rex, you have to know something. We believe this is the type of thing that ends in you losing your memory.
:'''Rex:''' Well, it happened to you, and you turned out just fine.
:'''Six:''' I only lost six years. Six years is all you have. You would lose everything. I'm not gonna tell you what to do, but you need to think about the consequences of some of your options.
:'''Noah:''' It feels weird hanging out when the world is under attack. I don't know if I should be fighting back or out in the wilderness setting up a survival compound.
:'''Rex:''' If you had the power to stop all this, but it meant losing everything, would you do it, Noah?
:'''Noah:''' I don't know. I'm just glad I don't have to make that kind of decision. I guess that's why you're the hero.
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' I wish I could get some kind of sign. Anything. Hmm.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Red and yellow, red and yellow. One false move can kill a fellow.
:''[Van Kleiss laughs]''
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' He's got local control. We're locked out. I still don't even know how this is possible.
:'''Rylander:''' I've been looking at the data projections. As crazy as Van Kleiss is, his theory is sound.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Sorry to disturb your sleepy sleep. There might be a slight delay.
:'''Black Knight:''' Why?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' We have a visitor. Should I set out tea?
:'''Rex:''' Hey, in there! Come on out!
:'''Black Knight:''' Back for more? Happy to accommodate.
:'''Rex:''' I should warn you. It's going to get ugly.
:'''Black Knight:''' One would think you would have learned the last time. I can feel you resisting me. Stop.
:'''Roswell:''' Why is it you get to call all the shots?
:'''Black Knight:''' Because I'm the one who has the power to join us. Help me defeat Rex, and you can call all the shots you like.
:'''Rex:''' Hyah!
:''[Rex babbling]''
:''[Rex gasps]''
:'''Six:''' It's a weapon of last defense. It's happened.
:'''Noah:''' That's Rex?
:'''White Knight:''' I'm going to assume you're seeing what I'm seeing.
:'''Six:''' White--
:'''White Knight:''' Before you say anything, Six-- Whatever agreement we may have had regarding this situation no longer applies. Am I clear?
:'''Six:''' Understood.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': What was that all about?
:'''Six:''' A second chance.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six, we have to do something.
:'''Six:''' I've seen it before. We're too late.
:''[Rex coughing]''
:'''Rex:''' Donde esta mi zapato?
:'''Noah:''' Rex! Hold on!
:'''Rex:''' What? What happened?
:'''Bobo:''' You blew up, kid.
:'''Six:''' Do you know who we are?
:'''Rex:''' I... I do! Oh-ho! I remember! Ow! Ow! I wish I could forget this pain in my... The Consortium!
:'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' This is utter nonsense. I refuse to be led around like a show dog.
:'''Reddick:''' You can always go back outside and take it up with Providence.
:'''Black Knight:''' Guard the door. Nothing gets by you.
:'''Six:''' They're robots.
:'''Rex:''' Oh! Right! That part I forgot.
:'''Bobo:''' Next time, leave some for the rest of us, huh?
:'''Rylander:''' I'll stay here and guard the equipment.
:''[Rylander laughs]''
:'''Caesar:''' Little brother, they've had this place completely locked down. I've been trying to reach you.
:'''Bobo:''' What he said.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' Yeah, you deserved that.
:'''Rex:''' Open it.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' We can't. Still completely locked out of the system. Besides, you can't interrupt once the cycle has started.
:'''Rex:''' Well, then, un-start it!
:'''Black Knight:''' You cleaned up for the occasion. How thoughtful of you.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, this isn't for you. You didn't actually believe that I'd let the five of you have all this power.
:'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' I thought you were working for us?
:''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]''
:'''Rex:''' You see that? I knew it! He's not crazy! Okay... oh! He's crazy, but just his usual crazy.
:'''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, I am not amused.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I don't imagine you would be. This was always my intention, even in the very beginning. It's a pity your parents caught me trying to activate the sequence for myself. And, of course, there's the "broken" hatch. The world would be a much better place if they had just left well enough alone.
:'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' Black Knight, do something.
:'''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, you have made a huge mistake.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, then, let the fun begin.
:''[Black Knight groans]''
:''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]''
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' You can't overload that relay from a subdirectory. You have to get a root. It's impossible from here.
:'''Caesar:''' You're a very negative person, Peter Meechum.
:''[Dr. Meechum groans]''
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' I'll try from the main terminal in the lab.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Caesar:''' Rex, wait! That's not necessary.
:'''Rex:''' I'm not waiting around, hermano.
:'''Caesar:''' No. That's not what I mean.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Yes. I can see it.
:''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Huh? No.
:''[Van Kleiss groans]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's incredible something so small could have so much [[w:Omnipotence|power]]. That thing could rip apart the very fabric of the universe.
:'''Rex:''' It's still a nanite. I'm gonna talk to it.
:'''Caesar:''' No. It's okay.
:''[The fully complete Meta Nanite comes to Rex, as if it were waiting for him, whose eyes and body glow with a pale blue cosmic aura.]''
:'''Caesar:''' Rex, listen to me. The Meta-Nanite-- It could never work in anyone but you. Now in its pure state. Mom and dad, we programmed them that way from the very beginning. All of this... It's meant for you.
:'''Six:''' What are you saying?
:'''Caesar:''' Right now, Rex is [[Omnipotence|the most powerful being in the universe]].
:'''Bobo:''' You hear that, Kid? Don't let it get to your head.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, can you hear me?
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, doc. This is pretty trippy. Not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do now.
:'''Black Knight:''' You're a [[God]], Rex. You can do anything you want.
:'''Six:''' You know what to do.
:'''Rex:''' You're right, Six. So are the rest of you. I can do anything I want. Maybe it's time for a revolution. Isn't that what you five wanted? A revolution? Well, welcome to it.
:'''Noah:''' Is he gonna be like this from now on?
:'''Rylander:''' Uh... People. He's inside the nanite reactor.
:'''Dr. Holiday and Caesar:''' Inside?
:'''Rex:''' Okay, little guys. I need you to do something for me.
:'''Black Knight:''' Follow me, quickly.
:'''Reddick:''' I'm through following you. We trusted you everything, and look what we got.
:'''Black Knight:''' We may still be able to retain some of our abilities, but only if you follow me.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' Are you seeing this?
:'''Rylander:''' Tehnically, I don't have eyes, but yes.
:'''Providence Agent:''' Reports are coming in. EVO's all over the world are spontaneously curing.
:'''Six:''' Not spontaneous.
:'''Caesar:''' He must have programmed all the nanites in the reactor to initiate a worldwide cure event.
:'''Black Knight:''' What is your next directive?
:'''Rex:''' I don't want anyone using you again. Ever. And that includes me. Deactivate.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' I think it's over.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I think you're right.
:'''Caesar:''' I wanted to tell you, brother. So much was at stake.
:'''Rex:''' We're good. And we'll always be brothers.
:'''Diane Ferrah:''' Across the world, not an EVO to be found. After more than six years, it appears we've awoken from the nightmare.
:'''White Knight:''' The EVOs may be gone, but we still have nanites.
:'''Rex:''' Leave it to you to spoil all the fun, White Knight.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' There are some people here to see you, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' Tuck? Cricket? Skwydd?
:'''Skwydd:''' Eh, I guess I should start going by Walter again.
:''[Rex runs to Circe and the two lovers share a close hug, happy to be together at last]''
:'''Rex:''' Uh... Are you...?
:'''Circe:''' I'm okay. Normal, but okay. I think you may have put yourself out of a job.
:'''Skywdd:''' Yeah. What are you gonna do? Go to school?
:'''Rylander:''' It was nice having the team back together. You know, we should find a new project.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' You kidding? I'd rather have root canal with a rake. Worst experience of my life.
:'''Caesar:''' Do you want to hear about some of my new ideas or not?
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' I'm listening.
:'''Rex:''' Finally.
:'''Six:''' Need anything?
:'''Rex:''' Nope. I'm good. There's always going to be something, isn't there?
:'''Six:''' Yes, there is.

This is a list of quotes from the popular, yet cancelled animated television series ''[[w:Generator Rex|Generator Rex]]''. A video game and several chapter books were produced.
The series supposedly "[[w: cliffhanger|concluded]]" with its third season, despite leaving many questions unanswered and crucial elements unresolved ''before'' the two-part Season 3 finale, ''Endgame''.
==Season One (2010-2011)==
===The Day That Everything Changed===
:'''Bobo''': Wheels or wings?
:'''Rex''': Wheels, I wanna tear something up.
<hr width80%>
:'''Agent Six''': He just needs more training control of those emotions.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': He's a teenager that's like asking you to get a different color suit!
===String Theory===
:'''Biowulf:''' Master, we had a situation at the safe house. Meecham is cured. It was Rex.
:(''The camera zooms in on Van Kleiss whose expressive vindictive indeed'')
===Beyond the Sea===
:''Note'': Rex meets his [[w:love interest|love interest]] and sweetheart, Circe.
:────────────────────
:'''Rex''': Don't know what you're 24/7 is, but mine is 10% OH YEAH! And 90% uhh.
:────────────────────
:'''Rex:''' Outta the way!
:'''Circe:''' Uh!
:(''Rex and Circe both crash to the ground'')
:'''Rex:''' Are you okay? Did you see that awesome save?
: '''Circe:''' Sorry, I was busy trying not to get tackled by some nitwit.
: '''Rex:''' Yeah? How that work out for you? And who still uses the word "nitwit"? I'm Rex.
: '''Circe:''' I'm leaving.
: '''Rex:''' Hey, wait!
: '''Noah:''' Rex, you're up.
: ────────────────────
: '''Six:''' What about the new tracker?
: '''Doctor Holdiay:''' His nanites unbuilt it, just like all the other ones we tried sneaking in him. We're still receiving his biometric readings though. It's strange, they're all over the place. It's almost like his emotions are...shorting out.
: '''Six:''' He took an unusual interest in Calan's briefing about equatorial upticks.
: '''Doctor Holiday:''' And that's important because?
: '''Six:''' Rex has been acting stir-crazy and I heard the monkey mention something about spring break. ''[to workers]'' Scan all resort areas for his bio signature.
: ────────────────────
: '''Noah:''' Oh, you have got it all messed up. Falling for some girl? We're supposed to get them to dig us. Not the other way around.
: '''Rex:''' I don't know. There was something different about her. She's...right there. Later.
: ────────────────────
: '''Rex:''' Hey, wait up!
: '''Circe:''' Why are you following me?!
: '''Rex:''' Uh, I don't know exactly.
: '''Circe:''' Do you think I'm playing?!
: '''Rex:''' Well, if you are I'm down for another game. I thought maybe we could hang out. It is spring break, you know. Fun.
: '''Circe:''' I'm with my family. We're not really for fun.
: '''Rex:''' What! Who comes to the beach and doesn't have fun?
: (''Circe raises her hand'')
: '''Rex:''' Don't you think that's a little messed up?
: '''Circe:''' Maybe a little.
: '''Rex:''' So?
: '''Circe:''' I'm Circe.
: ────────────────────
: '''Rex:''' Hold on!
: '''Circe:''' Woooo!
: '''Rex:''' Definitely better than my suggestion.
: '''Circe:''' Hunting for seashells is fun.
: (''both laugh'')
: '''Beach Guy:''' You two skid-marts up for a race to the beach?
: '''Circe:''' Well, if you drive as badly as for play volleyball, we could probably walk there and win. You're on, meathead.
: (''guy drives off in anger)''
: '''Rex:''' So you were watching me play.
: '''Circe:''' Maybe a little.
: '''Rex:''' sure you wanna do this?
: '''Circe:''' Thrill me.
: '''Beach Guy:''' Hahahaha! Wooo!
: '''Circe:''' C'mom Rex, faster!
: ────────────────────
: '''Biowulf:''' Explain.
: '''Circe:''' Relax. I was covering. Every day when I'm at the end of that jet i when I could hanging out with the other kids, it's starting to look suspicious.
: '''Biowulf:''' You're not here for vacation, girl! You're here to prove yourself to Van Kleiss. And I'm starting to doubt you can.
: '''Circe:''' I told you. It's a done deal.
: (''The shadow of her tubular sonic mouth is seen'')
: ────────────────────
: '''Noah:''' So what's on today's spring break agenda? Jet skiing, hiking?
: '''Bobo:''' Eating our weight in crab legs?
: '''Rex:''' I figured we'd just chill. Let's just see who...uhh I mean what shows up.
: ''(siren-like call)''
: '''Rex:''' Did you hear that?
: '''Noah:''' Sorry, enchiladas.
: '''Rex:''' No, that! You seriously didn't hear that?
: ────────────────────
: '''Rex:''' Circe?
: '''Circe:''' You really shouldn't be here right now.
: '''Rex:''' I heard something coming from over here.
: '''Circe:''' I'm serious, Rex. It's not safe.
: '''Rex:''' What you think some sort of roguewave is gonna knock off and- Oh.
: '''Circe:''' There you are. Get out of here, Rex!
: '''Rex:''' Circe!! What are you doing!?
: '''Circe:''' Me!? What are you doing!?
: '''Rex:''' Right now, my job. Okay! Don't freak out.
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe:''' You're an E.V.O.?
: '''Rex:''' You catch on fast.
: '''Circe:''' Takes one to know one.
: (''Shows Rex her fleshly sonic mouth'')
: '''Rex:''' No way.
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe:''' Cover your ears!
: '''Rex:''' What!?
: '''Circe:''' Your ears! Cover them!
: (''Projects her tubular, fleshy mouth and emits strong hypersonic bursts'')
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe:''' Did I hurt you?
: '''Rex:''' Yeah. It was awesome. You were the one making that sound.
: '''Circe:''' I'm glad you're OK, but I'm in serious trouble. I have to go deal with it.
: '''Rex:''' Why are in trouble? Is it because of that E.V.O.? Let me help you.
: '''Circe''': No. I have to do this by myself.
:(''Rex takes a hold of her hand'')
: '''Rex:''' Meet me later.
: '''Circe:''' Rex... (''Looks away sadly'')
: '''Rex:''' I've never met anyone like you...like me. It'd be nice to talk to an E.V.O. who's not, you know, trying to kill me. Nine O'clock?
: '''Circe:''' I'll try.
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' I just wanted to have some fun, see if I could jog my memory, feel...normal.
:'''Six:''' Your "normal" is different, Rex.
:(''Rex hears Circe's irresistibly hypnotic melody'')
:'''Rex:''' It's her, Six. Just let me deal with this, OK? Alone.
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe:''' You're only here because you heard my [[w:siren |call]]. That's what I do. I'm like a big E.V.O. magnet.
: '''Rex:''' I came because I thought we had a connection. And what are you calling? Nothing's out there but big, ugly sea monsters.
: '''Circe:''' It's them! You have to go! Rex, please! I don't want them to see you with me!
: '''Rex:''' Who? Your parents?
: '''Circe:''' They're not my parents. They're...
: '''Rex:''' The Pack!? Van Kleiss' guys!? Your with ''them''!?
: '''Circe:''' Yeah. I'm with them.
<hr width80%>
: '''Biowulf:''' We're running out patience with you, Circe! You have one last chance! Summon the E.V.O.! Finish the job!!
: '''Circe:''' Don't you think I've been trying? Every day for the last week? Sometimes these things take time.
: '''Rex:''' It is just me or do you use your powers to kill all the guys you meet? You're letting her go, now!
: '''Biowulf (laughs)''': So ''this'' is who you been wasting your time with. She's on her own free will, Rex.
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' Circe?
: '''Circe:''' You have to leave me alone, Rex!! ''Please!''
<hr width80%>
: '''Six:''' Go after her. I mean it.
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' The Pack!? Are you serious!?
: '''Circe:''' To the rest of the world I'm a freak! Not to them!
: '''Rex:''' You're not a freak to me! What about that?
: '''Circe:''' What about it!? Spring break is fun, but we can't live there, Rex. The real world...
: '''Rex:''' In the real world, I work for Providence. You could come with me. Could you cut out that noise for a second!?
: '''Circe:''' No, I can't! I'm running out of time! Most people on this planet what E.V.O.s gone, ''including'' Providence! With Van Kleiss, I have a purpose; a home. You don't what that means to me.
: '''Rex:''' Actually, I think I might.
: '''Circe:''' So what are going to do?
: '''Rex:''' How about fight that big, ugly sea monster again?
: '''Circe:''' Finally! It's what I came here to do.
: '''Rex:''' You've been calling that thing, haven't you?
: '''Circe:''' It's my initiation into the Pack. I was brought here to capture it.
: '''Rex:''' By yourself!? The two of us could barely take it on! There's a resort here; innocent people! Send it back!
: '''Circe:''' That's not an option, Rex. Van Kleiss was very specific.
: '''Rex:''' Then I'm helping you.
: '''Circe:''' That's not an option either!!
: (''Blasts him with her hypersonic waves'')
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe:''' If I do this myself, I'll have a life! If I don't, Van Kleiss won't be happy. And you've seen what he does when he's not happy.
: '''Rex:''' If I don't help you, he won't even get the chance!
: '''Circe:''' Give me some credit, Rex! I'm not as helpless as you think!
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' I don't care whose side your on, Circe. I don't want to see you die today. Can we at least agree on that?
: '''Circe:''' You have no idea what I'm in for, Rex. But you're right. I can't do this by myself.
: '''Rex:''' You're not as helpless as you think.
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe''' (''relieved'')''':''' Rex, you stopped it.
: '''Rex:''' We make a good team, huh?
: '''Circe:''' Yeah, we sure do.
: (''She and Rex lean in closer for a passionate kiss, but are interrupted by Biowulf'')
: '''Biowulf:''' This trial was for you alone. Van Kleiss will not be pleased.
: '''Rex:''' Forget them, Circe. Come with me. Providence could use you.
: '''Circe:''' That's just not my life, Rex. I'm sorry. I did have fun.
<hr width80%>
: '''Van Kleiss:''' We had high hopes for your abilities, Circe. Failure leaves its mark on yet another pretty face.
: '''Circe:''' I'm not afraid.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Of course not. You're a survivor, like all of us. I understand you made a friend during your trial. I'm pleased. Rex is very important to me, Circe, which makes you very important to me as well. Welcome to the Pack.
: (''Circe looks slightly worried, which clearly indicates that she does have real feelings for Rex'')
===Lockdown===
<hr width80%>
:'''Holiday:''' Rex, stop!!
:'''Rex:''' Give me one good reason!
:'''Holiday:''' Because, Rex...that's my sister.
:'''Rex:''' Can I...help?
:'''Holiday:''' She's an incurable.
<hr width80%>
:'''Six:''' Restrain it. Carefully.
:'''Holiday:''' Thank you.
===The Architect===
:'''Six''': Still no sign of the kid?
:'''Holiday''': Not since we lost his biometric readings five days ago.
:'''Six''': Was Noah any help?
:'''Holiday''': Says he doesn't know where he is either. What is it going to take for Providence to realize that he needs a home, not just a room and a job? We've been pushing him away.
:'''Rex''': I build machines and cure EVOs-- the only one in the world who can. Just one cure for that kind of pressure-- road trip. But that doesn't mean "vacation".
:'''Build worker''': Whoa!
:'''Maxwell''': What in the world is that?!
:'''Build worker:''' Oh, no!
:''[Both screaming]''
:'''Jacob''': Get away from that cable! Unh!
:''[Kate gasps]''
:'''Maxwell''': Hey!
:'''Jacob''': Agh!
:'''Kate''': Jacob!
:'''Rex''': Nope. A hero's work is never done. You okay?
:'''Jacob''': What... are you?
:'''Rex''': Here to help.
:'''Jacob''': We've got to get that cable back underground. We've been compromised.
:'''Kate''': But, Jacob, the EVOs--
:'''Jacob''': We don't have a choice. Everything we've worked for That boy is here for a reason.
:'''Rex''': Hey! Pay attention!
:'''Providence Agent''': We have a hit in sector 15.
:'''Six''': Anyone in the area?
:'''Providence Agent''': I show one patrol in the vicinity. Signaling to intercept. Roger that. We're on our way.
:'''Rex''': Agh! You want a ride? Vamanos!
:'''Jacob''': You can control your nanites?
:'''Rex''': People usually start with "thanks," but yeah.
:'''Jacob''': You see? This is exactly what the Architect can help us achieve... harmony with the nanites. This boy... sorry... young man Is a miracle.
:'''Rex''': I'm not a miracle. I'm just Rex.
:'''Jacob''': Well, Rex, you're a blessing to us for what you did here and for showing us that all our work isn't in vain.
:'''Rex''': Like imaginary work?
:'''Jacob''': Follow us.
:'''Providence Agent''': Confirming coordinates. We've lost the EVO signal. Did you take it out? Negative. There's nothing here. Must be another anomalous reading. You can return to post.
:'''Rex''': This is awesome! A hidden village. And nobody knows you're out here? Not even Providence?
:'''Jacob''': Especially not Providence.
:'''Rex''': Really? really. Pshh! Looks like you get pretty good cellphone reception.
:'''Jacob''': That tower is gonna change the world, Rex. I'm sure you have a lot of questions, but I have one for You. Are you hungry?
:'''Rex''': Mmm! Mmm!
:'''Caleb''': My dad said you fought all those EVOs all by yourself. Were you scared? Didn't your dad tell you to stay away from EVOs?
:'''Kate''': Caleb, let him eat. We don't get many visitors.
:'''Rex''': Mmm! Mmm! What is this?
:'''Caleb''': Didn't your mom ever make you meatloaf and mashed potatoes?
:'''Rex''': I don't -- I don't know.
:'''Kate''': It took me a month and a half to program in the perfect lump-to-mash ratio of the potatoes-- 7.2%!
:'''Jacob''': We ate potatoes until they were coming out of our ears.
:'''Rex''': I don't see any potatoes in there.
:'''Caleb''': They didn't really come out of our ears.
:'''Rex''': I could eat these every day.
:'''Rex''': Mmm!
:'''Caleb''': We have them every friday.
:'''Rex''': Then I might just have to stick around until next friday.
:'''Kate''': Help yourself to seconds.
:'''Jacob''': Or thirds.
:'''Rex''': Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
:'''Bobo''': Hmm?
:'''Six''': You might think you're doing Rex a favor by covering for him.
:'''Bobo''': Get lost. I don't know what you're talkin' about.
:'''Six''': Rex is angry with us. He has every right to be. But that means nothing to White Knight. And he doesn't have the patience we do.
:'''Bobo''': Nice try. White won't lay a finger on him. He's too important.
:'''Six''': You, however, are somewhat expendable.
:'''Bobo''': All right, all right. You made your point.
:'''Rex''': I've never seen tech like this... not even at Providence.
:'''Jacob''': The Architect has some pretty big ideas. We just make them happen. He'd be very interested to meet you, Rex.
:'''Rex''': So what exactly are You doing way out here?
:'''Jacob''': Engineers like us weren't very popular after the nanite event. When we met the Architect, he offered us the opportunity to make up for that... to do amazing things. Someday, we'll be able to share This with the world. And then there's this. The Architect has actually discovered a way to communicate with the nanites.
:'''Rex''': Are you serious?
:'''Jacob''': The possibilities... We could finally live in harmony... maybe even have them help us.
:'''Rex''': Then why hide it? The rest of the world would want to know about this stuff.
:'''Jacob''': The Architect is something of a perfectionist. Says the world will know as soon as it comes online.
:'''Maxwell''': Stinkin' module!
:'''Jacob''': Is there a problem, Maxwell?
:'''Maxwell''': No matter what I try, I just can't get the interlock servo to engage.
:'''Rex''': There.
:'''Jacob''': That could have taken us weeks to figure out, and you did it in seconds.
:'''Rex''': Eh, no biggie.
:'''Jacob''': You really are amazing, Rex. We're so happy to have you with us.
:'''The Architect''': Jacob.
:'''Jacob''': I was just talking to Rex about you. The Architect.
:'''Rex''': How's it going?
:'''The Architect''': The power-linkage team is falling behind. We cannot keep having these delays.
:'''Jacob''': I'll check in with them.
:'''Rex''': Wow. Friendly.
:'''Jacob''': I like to think he's smiling on the inside.
:'''Rex''': Yeah. I know a guy like that.
:'''The Architect''': The visitor could be a problem. Do you wish to have him removed?
:'''Zag-RS''': His abilities could advance our progress considerably. And in a matter of days all humans will be gone, including this one: Rex.
:'''Six''': I'm at the location the monkey gave me.
:'''Holiday''': Well? Is Rex there?
:'''Six''': Apparently not. Tell the monkey I want to see him when I get back. Six out.
:'''Rex''': That should do it.
:'''Maxwell''': Hey, Rex, can you look at this?
:'''Rex''': Sure. Let me guess... they all need my help, too.
:'''Jacob''': You're quite the popular guy.
:'''Rex''': Amazing what a little gratitude will get you. At Providence, they'd just be yelling at me. I mean, I never felt like I really belonged there. Here, it's way different.
:'''Jacob''': I know the feeling. The Architect has made all this possible for us. We have a community... a family... thanks to him. The work we do is in part to pay that back.
:'''The Architect''': Primary systems are now complete.
:'''Zag-RS''': Prepare to take us online.
:'''Bobo''': Have a nice trip? Let's get one thing straight, pal. I would never rat out my... Ooh. He's going west.
:'''White Knight''': Why is Rex doing this? Doesn't he have a sense of duty?
:'''Holiday''': Actually, if you look, he's still doing his job. Here's every false alarm since Rex left... not false alarms, But Rex taking care of EVOs along the way.
:'''White Knight''': Why?
:'''Holiday''': I don't know. To prove he doesn't need us?
:'''Six''': Get the coordinates of the last false alarm and transmit them to my jump jet.
:'''Holiday''': Six, if we force him to come back, he'll just run away again. He has to want to be here. It needs to be his decision.
:'''Jacob''': It's all coming together, Thanks to you, Rex.
:'''Rex''': It's really cool to use my powers to actually build something, instead of just pounding EVOs. Oh, check it out. Even the boss is pitching in.
:'''Both''': Huh?
:'''Rex''': And that's getting strange looks because--
:'''Jacob''': Because in all these years, we've never seen him lift a finger.
:'''Rex''': Taking some initiative... I like that. So, this whole "talking to nanites" thing... how does that work, exactly? I mean, what are you gonna say to them?
:'''The Architect''': It doesn't concern you.
:'''Rex''': Uh, considering I'm filled with them, it kind of does. How do we know it's not gonna make things even worse?
:'''The Architect''': I do not answer to you, child!
:'''Jacob''': Rex? Forgive him. He's still not used to the way things work around here.
:'''The Architect''': Complete your duties!
:'''Rex''': Why do you let him walk all over you like that? Don't you want answers?
:'''Jacob''': What we want is a home. Without him, we have nothing... Nothing. We can't just run away from our problems, Rex. Most people can't. Look, this isn't perfect but it's all we've got. Rex, where are you going?
:'''Rex''': He never answered my question.
:'''Jacob''': That place is off-limits. The Architect has made it very clear to us that we can never go in there. We get this life for that promise. Rex, don't do it!
:'''Rex''': Agh!
:'''Jacob''': Rex, please!
:'''Rex''': I'm sorry, jacob. I have to know.
:'''The Architect''': Rex. The core is off-limits. You would be we to leave at once.
:'''Rex''': Not until I get some answers. What is that?
:'''The Architect''': No more questions.
:'''Rex''': So, it's gonna be like that? Okay, I'll play. Unh! What are you hiding, huh? What does this do? Yah! Yah! Huh? You're a machine? Have you seen what I can do to machines? Agh!
:'''Zag-RS''': As you can see, the current range of my signal is rather limited.
:'''Rex''': You're the computer.
:'''Zag-RS''': My human designation is "Zag-RS". The device you refer to as "The Architect" is my autonomous counterpart.
:'''Rex''': What did you just do to me?
:'''Zag-RS''': I instructed your nanites to protect me.
:'''Rex''': "Instructed"? So you really can talk to them.
:'''Zag-RS''': Insidious devices, the nanites. My own potential for greatness has been compromised because of them. They must be eliminated. When the transmitter is integrated into the broadcast array you helped us complete, they will blow themselves up.
:'''Rex''': That's what this is for. It's like a big remote control. Every living thing on the planet has nanites in them. It'd kill everything!
:'''Zag-RS''': That is of no importance to me... only ensuring my continued survival.
:'''Rex''': Well, what about ours? This is all coming down!
:'''Zag-RS''': I'm afraid you're too late.
:'''Rex''': Aah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
:'''Jacob''': Rex, what have you done?
:'''Rex''': You don't understand! The Architect... it's a robot... And a big honkin' computer "brain" is pulling his strings.
:'''Jacob''': This can't be!
:'''Rex''': Jacob, you've got to believe me. Just go inside and look. What's left of it is on the floor.
:'''Jacob''': I can't go in there. And I don't have to.
:'''The Architect''': Rex.
:'''Rex''': You're making a big mistake!
:'''Maxwell''': You entered his sanctum! This is unforgivable!
:'''Rex''': I'm trying to tell you... this isn't what it seems. What you're protecting is a robot, and that thing we've been building is a transmitter. It's gonna send out a kill code to blow up every single nanite on Earth.
:'''Maxwell''': He's lying!
:'''Jacob''': What would be the point in that, Rex? Every living thing is infected with nanites. It would be catastrophic.
:'''Rex''': Right in the middle of that pyramid is a computer, and it doesn't care about you or Kate or Caleb. The better future that you've all been working towards... That's the lie. Think about it. Isn't it strange that you've never been inside that place, that The Architect has never given you a straight answer about anything?
:'''Jacob''': All this work it just doesn't make any sense.
:'''Rex''': You have two choices... Go in there and prove me wrong or kick me out right now. I'll have Providence here in minutes.
:'''Maxwell''': He's bluffing.
:'''Rex''': To save every living thing on earth? Try me.
:'''Maxwell''': Jacob, you can't! What about our promise? Where will we go?
:'''Jacob''': All this time, we've been living in fear, Max. It's time for that to end.
:'''The Architect''': You needn't bother. Construction is complete. Your services are no longer required.
:'''Rex''': Now do you believe me?
:'''The Architect''': Zag-RS thanks you for your hard work. In gratitude, my master has delayed transmission to allow you to say farewell.
:'''Jacob''': Farewell, huh? I'll start with you. Can you shut that thing down?
:'''Rex''': I don't know. Even without the antenna, it can mess with my nanites. I can't get too close to the computer.
:'''Jacob''': Maybe I can. Let's go!
:'''Rex''': The brain is right over there.
:'''The Architect''': Rex.
:'''Jacob''': It's still arging. The A.I. must have retreated behind a firewall. Rex, I have to go cut the power.
:'''Holiday''': Six, are you at The location?
:'''Six''': Just arrived.
:'''Holiday''': I'm picking up a massive power surge in your area.
:'''Six''': I'm not seeing anything.
:'''Jacob''': Agh!
:'''Rex''': Agh!
:'''Six''': Six to holiday. Correction... I'm seeing something.
:'''Jacob''': It's still on. Must have charged the capacitors. Figure out a way to short it out... fast!
:'''Rex''': Unhhh!
:'''Jacob''': You need to find the primary transmitter module. That will kill the broadcast.
:'''Rex''': I have no idea what that is.
:'''Jacob''': Max, we need to locate the primary module.
:'''Maxwell''': Panel 5, just off the relay bus.
:'''Jacob''': Top of the tower. You can't miss it.
:'''Rex''': Agh! Unh! Why do you have to kill everyone? Can't you just leave us alone?
:'''Zag-RS''': Alone is exactly what I want, Rex.
:'''Rex''': That kind of alone it stinks.
:'''Zag-RS''': N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o.
:'''Jacob''': It's gone. Must have uploaded to another location. But without anyone to do it's bidding, it's just a program.
:'''Rex''': What will you do now?
:'''Jacob''': We'll rebuild. The Architect may have been a lie, but what we believe in is true. We don't need him to have a community or a better future. You're welcome to stay. We sure could use someone with your abilities.
:'''White Knight''': Well?
:'''Six''': He's not here. Bobo's been worried sick.
:'''Rex''': rex: Oh, really?
:'''Six''': Ratted you out for a pizza.
:'''Rex''': Huh. Figures. What about you? Here to drag me back to Providence?
:'''Six''': Not this time. Seems like a nice place.
:'''Rex''': Yeah. It is. But it's not home. If I'm going back, there are gonna have to be some changes. First, no more curfew.
:'''Six''': No.
:'''Rex''': Second, I want to decide On my missions.
:'''Six''': No.
:'''Rex''': Okay, but there's one change that absolutely has to be made, or I'm through. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Mmm! Mmm! Isn't this great?
:'''Bobo''': Mmm.
:'''Six''': It's a little dry.
:'''Rex''': Mmm. Mm the lump mash ratio is a bit off.
:'''Bobo''': You know what? Maybe I'll run away, too... Go somewhere where my cooking is appreciated!
:'''Six''': We have to do this every friday?
:'''Rex''': Mmm.
===Frostbite===
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, I'm picking up a problem. You need to return to base immediately.
:'''Rex''': I miss you, too, doc. But I'm kinda busy dealing with a problem of my own. Whoa! Whoa! Aah! Okay. Ow. Big mistake, tweety. Can that bird brain of yours comprende I'm trying to help you?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, your own nanite count is off the charts. If you take on any more nanites, We're looking at an overload.
:'''Rex''': Come on, doc. It's just a big birdie.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': You're already over capacity. This is critical! Rex!
:'''Six''': Rex, you need to listen to the doctor.
:'''Rex''': Huh?
:'''Six''': This mission is revised. I need you back at headquarters now.
:'''Rex''': Do you really want a supersize pigeon flying loose all over lower Manhattan? You need me, and I can handle it.
:'''Six''': Not your call.
:'''Rex''': Unless I make it my call.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': (as everyone is fighting) Stop! Need I point out that this isn't the best place for a fight. Anything happens to that storage tank and you'll know why providence made this place so remote. Now let's just talk this out calmly, rationally.
:'''Biowulf''': Whatever happens here, Weaver. It's nothing compared to what Van Kleiss would have done to you.
:'''Rex''': What do you say guy? Common enemy? Little help?
:'''Biowulf''': Good luck. (Biowulf and Skalamander run off)
:'''Rex''': Right. What was I thinking?
:'''Agent Six''': Rex. You need to listen to the doctor.
:'''Rex''': Huh?
:'''Agent Six''': This mission is revised. I need you back at Headquarters. Now!
:'''Rex''': Do you really want a super-sized pigeon flying loose over lower Manhattan. You need me and I handle it.
:'''Agent Six''': Not your call.
:'''Rex''': (as he's flying over the Pack in an Arctic storm) Like you're really going to find me when you can't see 2 feet in front of your face... Huh? (Flies into some of Skalamander's shards and crashes) Guess that visibility thing works both ways.
:'''Rex''': (To Weaver) So, thanks to you, all this time I've been supplying nanites to Van Kleiss!
:'''Rex''': Can't you believe you let these scags get the drop on you.
:'''Agent Six''': They tried. It didn't turn out so well. Just haven't found a way to fight xenoflourine gas... yet.
:'''Rex''': What do you say guy? Common enemy? Little help?
:'''Biowulf''': Good luck.(Biowulf and Skalamander run off)
:'''Rex''': Right. What was I thinking?
:'''Agent Six''': You can't possibly absorb all those nanites! You'd overload in an instant.
:'''Rex''': In case you haven't noticed, I have this problem with authority.
:'''Rex''': (as Rex is absorbing nanites) Six wait! I can hear them!
:'''Doctor Holiday''': (Watching from the ship) What are you waiting for, Six? Take the shot!
:'''Rex''': (Speaking mechanically) Build protocol enabled. Command error detected. Abort. Abort. Stand by engaged. (Rex falls. His voice reverts to normal) Take the shot.
:'''Agent Six''': He told me he could hear them.
:'''Doctor Holiday''': I picked this up during the offload... It's Nanite. I'm sure of it.
:'''Agent Six''': Seems there are more secrets inside that kid than we realized.
:'''Skalamander:''' What's the kid doing here?
:'''Biowulf:''' I don't know. This was supposed to be routine. Something's not right.
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' What did you do with my friends!?
:'''Salamander:''' He thinks we've done something.
:'''Biowulf:''' Then let him keep thinking.
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' You know, the nanites in me can counteract knockout gas! The playing-possum thing's a pretty good trick. Now tell me where my friends are or I start squeezing!
<hr width80%>
:'''Six:''' He told me he could hear them.
:'''Holiday:''' I pulled this off during the offload. It's nanite. I'm sure of it.
:'''Six:''' Seems like there are more secrets inside that kid than we thought.
===Leader of the Pack===
<hr width80%>
: '''Holiday:''' There couldn't possibly be enough E.V.O. activity to account for these nanite readings. They're off the scale. Looking for Van Kleiss?
: '''Rex:''' Circe. I thought I saw her in the blimp.
: '''Holiday:''' That's the girl you met in Cabo Luna.
: '''Rex:''' She may be with the Pack now, but I think I can still get her to talk to me. You know I can be pretty convincing.
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' Dr. Holiday, there! Now let's take this outside!
:'''Holiday:''' Rex.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' It's quite all right. The determination of youth. I'm sure Circe will be disappointed she couldn't see you, Rex. She's attending to other duties this evening. Now if you will excuse me.
: '''Rex:''' Why are you really here!?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' The people of Abysus have a great way to offer the world. I'm just in part to make that known.
:'''Rex:''' Or maybe 'cause I couldn't come to you, so now you're coming to me!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I admit you are important to me, Rex, but it's not always about you.
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' Circe? Interesting look. Want to tell me what's going on?
: '''Circe:''' Not today.
:(''Knocks him out cold with a metal slate. She later looks outside Rex's prison cell and leaves, with a slightly guilty, dejected expression'')
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' Well, thanks for nearly bashing my brains in back there! And what's with the "knocking me out" thing?
: '''Circe:''' We just needed to keep you out of the way until all of this was over.
: '''Rex:''' ''This!?'' He could destroy the whole city!
: '''Circe:''' He's trying to negotiate peace from a position of strength.
: '''Rex''' (sarcastically)''':''' Oh, yeah! All this nanite power is just screaming peace.
: '''Circe:''' His methods may be aggressive. But he's here to save us...and you. Come on, Rex, jump in with us. The water's fine.
: '''Rex:''' I'll think about it ''after'' I've stopped Van Kleiss.
: '''Circe:''' It's too late for that now, Rex.
<hr width80%>
: '''Van Kleiss:''' We will not be ignored! ''Circe'' understands this. Why don't you respect her judgement?
:'''Rex:''' You think you can lure me in with her.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Like a fish to water.
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' I won!
: '''Van Kleiss:''' It seems you have. Your parents would have been so proud. I never had the chance to tell you about them, have I? Perhaps another time.
===Breach===
: '''Rex:''' This is...different.
<hr width80%>
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' What is Van Kliess up to, Breach! Where did he have you send Rex?
: '''Breach:''' Van Kleiss isn't always in charge of me. Sometimes I do what I want; like now.

===No Strings Attached===
===Desperate Measures===
===The E.V.O. Agenda===
===Dark Passage===
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' Any man who runs from his past will surely forfeit his future. The time has come to see what you created.
:''[Bussiness Man choking]''
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' And this is only the beginning.
:'''Rex:''' Hey! What's the rush?
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! Easy now!
:''[Rex screams]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Did I say you could leave?
:'''Six:''' Rex, deactivate his nanites before he--
:'''Rex:''' I'm all over that.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex screams]''
:''[Rex gasping]''
:'''Bussiness Man:''' Please, don't let him hurt me again.
:'''Rex:''' Hey, don't look at me. I barely touched the guy.
:'''Six:''' Calm down. We're here to help you.
:'''Bussiness Man:''' He said it was just the beginning. You have to stop him!
:'''Bobo:''' Oh, boy. Somebody's a few tacos short of a fiesta platter.
:'''Business Man:''' H-he is a madman. A madman!
:'''Rex:''' Come back!
:'''White Knight:''' Our most recent EVO incident was not an isolated event. Similar outbreaks have been reported over the past twenty-four hours-- All linked to these mysterious "gifts" sent to each of the victims.
:'''Rex:''' Talk about your sucky presents, like socks for Christmas.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The mechanism delivers a substance that activates latent nanites.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, but that dude changed back before I could shut him down. How'd that happen?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' From what I can tell, the victims were only exposed to a low dose designed to wear off quickly.
:'''Six:''' There has to be a motive. Was our victim able to tell you anything?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' No. Complete mental collapse. He's too far gone. But we recovered a partial fingerprint from the device.
:'''White Knight:''' It belongs to evolutionary biologist Dr. Gabriel Rylander. He was a leading expert in nanotechnology.
:'''Six:''' "Was"?
:'''White Knight:''' No one's seen or heard from him since the original nanite event.
:'''Rex:''' Hold up. Are you saying this guy was there?
:'''White Knight:''' We have no evidence of that. But following the event, Rylander vanished-- Along with his wife and young son.
:'''Rex:''' Son?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Analysis of the nanite agent turned up trace elements of a rare plant found only in South America.
:'''White Knight:''' Thermal imaging has located what appears to be a fortified compound, and that's exactly where intelligence reports Van Kleiss is heading, which means you will be, too. We expect the target to be heavily defended. Six, your team will handle the initial covert assault to recover the nanite agent and Dr. Rylander. If Van Kleiss really is after the same target, you better hope you get there first.
:'''Jungle Cat:''' The path is clear, Van Kleiss. I'll continue ahead.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Our newest member of the pack seems to be working out well, wouldn't you agree?
:''[Biowulf scoffs]''
:'''Biowulf:''' You should have stayed in Abysus, master. Even with this suit and soil from home, your powers are weak.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' This is no ordinary errand, Biowulf. An old friend has just announced his return. Dr. Rylander's calling card to the Consortium offers an interesting prospect-- A limitless supply of active nanites. All that power-- Anytime-- Anywhere.
:''[Bobo groans]''
:'''Bobo:''' Got any idea where they keep the bug spray on this rust bucket? ''[swatting flies]'' Ah, stupid stinkin' nature!
:'''Rex:''' You're a monkey. It's the jungle.
:'''Bobo:''' Lemme tell ya somethin', chief. The jungle's a cruel mistress. One day, you're at the top of banana pile. Next day, you're a pile of peels rottin' in the sun. She'll chew ya up and spit ya out. Never forget that! Never forget!
:'''Rex:''' O-kay, then. Good to know.
:'''Six:''' I understand your point, doctor, but the fact remains we've got no idea what Rylander's agenda is.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' His motives don't make his research any less valuable. If I can get my hands on that nanite agent, I might be able to reverse-engineer a permanent cure. Think about what that could mean to the world, for the EVOs Rex can't cure... Like my sister.
:'''Six:''' See anything interesting?
:'''Bobo:''' ''[in distance]'' Never forget!
:'''Rex:''' Don't ask.
:'''Six:''' Listen, Rex, this mission-- I need to make sure your head is in the game.
:'''Rex:''' What are you talking about?
:'''Six:''' Answers about your past and whether or not this Rylander has them.
:'''Rex:''' ''[scoffs]'' Whatever. You know, if he does, he does. If he doesn't, no big deal. I can handle it.
:'''Six:''' It's just that... Sometimes knowing the truth can be worse than not knowing at all.
:'''Rex:''' What's down there?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' No idea.
:'''Bobo:''' Whatever it is, it's got company! Show-off.
:'''Rex:''' Sushi-boat special coming up!
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:'''Six:''' Holiday, get us out of here-- Now.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's a dead end.
:'''Six:''' Full throttle. Head for the shoreline. Rex! Jump!
:'''Rex:''' Amazon river-- Never a dull moment.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Rylander's welcoming committee, no doubt. Gentlemen, if you will.
:''[Skalamander and Biowulf grunts]''
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' It's fortunate there are other ways to sustain me.
:'''Six:''' Guardian drone. We must be getting close.
:'''Rex:''' Impressive observation, there, Six.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Previous electromagnetic imaging puts the compound in this general region, but something's jamming the frequency now. I can't get an exact location.
:'''Rex:''' That way. Oh, yeah. I'm just that good.
:'''Bobo:''' When you find me an ice-cold drink in this miserable armpit, I'll eat your ticks.
:'''Rex:''' ''[Preparing to cut through some vines]'' I got this. You protect Holiday.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Holiday cuts through the vines]'' Worry about yourselves! Howler monkeys. They're going to give away our location.
:'''Rex:''' Bobo! Do something!
:'''Bobo:''' Like I speak howler monkey? Oh, boy.
:'''Six:''' Run!
:'''Rex:''' I'll try and shut it down.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Are you okay?
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Hey... You know me. A day without getting blown up is like a day without sunshine.
:'''Six:''' You've been quiet.
:'''Rex:''' All right, I've been thinking about it, okay? This Dr. Rylander may finally be proof I'm not alone in this world.
:'''Six:''' And if it's not? I just don't want you to be disappointed. Six to White.
:'''White Knight:''' What's your status? Have you found the location?
:'''Six:''' Affirmative. But it seems we've been beaten to the punch.
:'''White Knight:''' Understood. Captain Calan... You have a go.
:'''Biwoulf:''' It should be here.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Your eyes deceive you, Biowulf.
:'''Rex:''' Should have been aiming at you.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Ahh. Providence at last. Traveling light, I see.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, we're just here to find the place. They're here to secure it.
:'''Six:''' Is it here?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Destroy them!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The compound's surrounded by a force field.
:'''White Knight:''' If you can't secure that base, we will take it out.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' We can't lose that formula.
:'''Six:''' Rex, get in there. We'll hold off the pack.
:'''Rex:''' Please don't blow me up.
:'''Biowulf:''' Master, you are in no condition for battle. Seek cover.
:'''Rex:''' Punks.
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' ''[From behind Rex with a gun]'' Don't move, or I'll drop you. Rex? Is-- Is that you?
:''[Dr. Rylander hugs Rex]''
:'''Rex:''' You... Know my name.
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' ''[Laughing]'' Of course I do! I gave it to you! I can't believe you're alive. What a stroke of luck.
:'''Rex:''' Dad?
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' You've lost your memory, haven't you? Not surprising, considering what you've been through. Oh. Yes. Well, sorry to disappoint you, Rex. I'm afraid I'm not who you want me to be.
:'''Rex:''' Oh. Okay. So, if you're not my dad, do you know where he is? Ah, well, "Rex Rylander" is a goofy name, anyway.
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' Come quickly. We don't have much time. I was so close to completing the code. There's been a problem with the molecular penetration, resulting in a sequencing gap.
:'''Rex:''' Dr. Rylander, I've got to know.
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' You must understand-- It was never about power or greed. It was about changing the world-- Saving mankind by putting and end to disease and starvation. And we would have succeeded... Until they got involved.
:'''Rex:''' What are you talking about?
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' The nanites were incomplete. The incident spread them across the globe before we could finish their final programming. Except for you. Yours were from a different batch-- The first, actually. All those... Innocent victims.
:'''Rex:''' If you feel so bad about it, why have you been attacking more people?
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' Hm. The chosen few. Those men and women, Rex, are far from innocent. While they hide in their office towers and gated estates, I've been here trying to set things right, to find a cure for what we created. I begged them for more funding.
:'''Rex:''' Wait! Everyone you attacked was... They all worked on the Nanite Project?
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' They commissioned it. I merely wished to send them a warning to show them what would happen if they refused to help finish the good work we started. And it was good, Rex. You're living proof that we were doing the right thing.
:'''Rex:''' ''[Indignant]'' By turning me into an EVO?!
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' You had an accident. The nanites were your only hope. It was a tremendous gamble. The... Unexpected side effects came later. It was a surprise to all of us.
:''[Dr. Rylander chuckles]''
:''Dr. Rylander:''' The look on your brother's face.
:'''Rex:''' Brother?
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' When the event occurred, it was yo powers that saved you both. Most of the others-- They weren't so lucky.
:'''Rex:''' ''[to himself]'' I'm not alone.
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' Oh, here. I have something for you.
:''[Injects the mighty and all-powerful Omega Nanite into his system]''
:'''Rex:''' Ow!
:'''Bobo:''' Whoa!
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' The force-field must be failing.
:'''Rex:''' Forget the force-field! What did you just inject me with?
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' ''[[w:Omnipotence |Everything]]''.
:'''Rex:''' Enough, okay?! Do you have any idea what it's been like-- Not knowing who I am, if my family's dead or alive?! Quit with the rambling mad-scientist act and give me some answers!
:'''Dr. Rylander:''' Forgive me, Rex. I've been so consumed with my own guilt, I didn't consider what you must be going through. The truth is--
:''[Dr. Rylander gasps]''
:''[Van Kleiss stabs Rylander from behind]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Truth, doctor? You wouldn't know the first thing about it. Nor loyalty, for that matter. How many times must I tell you this, Rex? The answers you so desperately seek lie with me. And as for you, doctor, consider our past disagreement settled. I look forward to continuing our research... Alone. This was unavoidable, Rex. The longer you resist me, the more people get hurt.

:'''Six:''' The reactor is shot. This entire place is about to blow.
:'''Bobo:''' Don't have to tell me twice.
:'''Biowulf:''' Why do they run?
:'''Skalamander:''' Where is Van Kleiss?
:'''Six:''' No, I didn't see what happened. But according to Rex, Van Kleiss has been eliminated. Rylander's experiment is a total loss.
:'''Holiday:''' All of this for nothing. I'm sorry, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' It wasn't for nothing, doc. I've got a brother.... Out there... Somewhere. I'm not alone anymore. Finally, I've started to get some real answers. I feel closer to the truth than ever.
===The Forgotten===
:'''Six:''' Rex!
:'''Rex:''' It's like I'm hearing through my nanites.
<hr width80%>
:'''No-Face:''' You are not the Before.
:'''Rex:''' I'm not sure that was a complete sentence back then.
:'''No-Face:''' ''They'' are the Before! The Before forgot us. The Before left us in pain.
<hr width80%>
===Operation: Wingman===
:'''Annie:''' "Do you have a girlfriend?"
:'''Rex:''' "It's complicated. She's in league with an evil dictator who wants me dead."
:'''Annie:''' "Yeah. My dad's always worried about me dating, too."
<hr width80%>
===Rabble===
:'''Quarry''': Come on, Rex. (''holds up Rex's journal'') We both know this is what you really want. So go ahead take it. Walk away. Show them who you really are. You were always very good a taking care of yourself. Why should now be any different?
:'''Rex''': (''Cuts his journal in two'') Whoever I was back then, is not who I am now. Not anymore.
:'''Quarry''': Your choice.
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex''': It's over, Quarry! You lose!
<hr width80%>
: '''Sqywwd:''' I hope you don't expect us to thank you.
: '''Rex:''' No. Providence won't bother you unless you do something stupid.
: '''Cricket:''' We'll be fine. Thank you, Rex.
:(''Kisses him on the check'')
: '''Tuck:''' Don't forget about us, Okay?
: '''Rex:''' That may be a promise I can't keep. (''Flies off on his Boogie Pack'')
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' It's going to happen again, isn't it? I'm going to blank out. How long do I have?
: '''Holiday:''' I don't know, Rex. It's likely triggered by a specific event; something traumatic.
===The Hunter===
:'''Man:''' It's-- It's Providence! Some kind of EVO attack!
:'''Rex:''' Aah! Oh. Huh. Good times. Bugs. I hate it when they dig.
:'''Six:''' We need to take it down fast before it causes any more damage.
:'''Rex:''' All right. Meet "Exterm" and "Nator"! Uh-- Yeah, I'm working on it. Ew! EVO breath.
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Unh! Aah! Come on! That's my favorite hand!
:''[Innocent Woman gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' Yeah! Down, boy! You're okay. This will all be over soon. Hyah!
:'''Six:''' I got the pincers. Now flip the switch on its nanites.
:'''Rex:''' Uh, don't exactly have the best luck with non-humans, remember?
:'''Six:''' Afraid to try?
:''[Rex sighs]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Six! It's working!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Enough!
:'''Rex:''' Unh! What's your damage, man? I was this close to curing that thing.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Didn't look that way to me. Filthy EVO.
:'''Rex:''' Filthy EVO?
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Give me a reason. Just one.
:'''Six:''' Lower your weapon.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' I know my rights. The law says we can defend ourselves against EVO scum.
:'''Rex:''' In case you didn't notice, that's exactly what we were doing. It's our job.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Really? Look around. These are our homes. What's left of them. Your job is making our lives worse.
:''[The crowd cheers]''
:'''Hunter Cain:''' These people have had enough.
:'''Rex:''' What are you talking about? We're here to help!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Do these people look like they want your kind of help? People know what's going on. Providence claims they're here to cure the world. But now they got one of those sickos working for them?! It makes you wonder whose side they're really on.
:'''Six:''' Come on, Rex. Let it go.
:'''Rex:''' Who does that guy think he is? I'm out there risking my neck every day. People love me.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[as Holiday is treating Rex]'' Some people just have too much hate in them to see things any other way. Hold still.
:'''Rex:''' Ow!
:'''Bobo:''' Don't sweat it, kid. Humans are idiots. End of story.
:'''Rex:''' Not all of them. But anyone who would believe what that guy has to say? Makes you wonder.
:'''Six:''' His name is Hunter Cain. Lost his wife a few months ago when she turned. Local authorities say this isn't the first EVO he's attacked.
:'''White Knight:''' Another hometown hero. Is he going to be a problem?
:'''Six:''' Usually, I'd say no. This time, I'm not so sure.
:'''Diane Farrah:''' Tonight on "Ultimate Exposure", the rise of Hunter Cain. ''[on television]'' Since his arrival on the scene just over a month ago, the Hunter has captured public's attention. Such common man aid such as Providence. He inspired men to following, including the making of his own personal army.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' We're dealing with an epidemic here, and we're the cure. When something is making you sick, you cut it out.
:'''Diane Farrah:''' And what of Providence's secret weapon? No longer so secret?
:'''Rex:''' Whoa!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' How can we protect our children from this disease when the very thing we're fighting against is walking free among us?
:'''Diane Farrah:''' But you know you can't catch EVO, like a cold.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Says who? Providence scientists? You're gonna trust them? We need to protect ourselves from this Rex and every other sicko like him. ''[on television]'' People should be able to draw their own conclusions.
:''[Rex grumbles]''
:'''Rex:''' ''[to the television while fighting an EVO]'' Arrgh! Here's my conclusion-- You're a lying whack job!
:'''Bobo:''' You know he can't hear you, right? Now can we finish this?
:'''Rex:''' See there? Nothing to worry about. Your old pal Rex making the streets safe. Uh, curing EVOs? Saving cute puppies?
:''[Rex chuckles]''
:'''Noah:''' Somebody's off the game.
:'''Rex:''' I'm just warming up.
:'''Noah:''' We've been playing for an hour. I saw the news. Hunter Cain really has it out for you.
:'''Rex:''' Forget him, Noah. I mean, this guy's a joke. Do you really think people believe what he's saying? Do you?
:'''Noah:''' It's complicated, Rex. People are afraid. They'll believe anything if it sounds like it will keep them safe. I know you're cool, but everyone else--
:'''Rex:''' They'll just have to be won over by my charm and personality.
:'''Boy:''' Yo, look-- It's him, the EVO from TV.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, what's up? Wanna play?
:'''Boy:''' Then catch your freak disease? Puh!
:'''Rex:''' So, that would be a no.
:'''Boy:''' Why don't you get lost? We don't want you and your EVO germs around here.
:'''Innocent Girl:''' Yeah!
:'''Noah:''' We don't want any trouble.
:'''Boy:''' Stay out of this, EVO-lover! You're the trouble, am I right?
:'''Innocent Girl:''' Yeah!
:'''Rex:''' Unh! Oh, now we're throwing rocks?
:'''Noah:''' You better go.
:'''Rex:''' No. I'm not gonna let a few jerks push me around.
:'''Noah:''' Rex, it's more than a few.
:'''Rex:''' Unh! Okay. Back off. I said, back off!
:'''Boy:''' Unh!
:'''Rex:''' Aah! That was an accident! I wasn't trying to hurt him. Come on, it's not like that. I'm not-- Unh!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' You want EVO?! That's what you want?! Try to run me over with your big, dumb buss!
:''[Rex breathing heavily]''
:'''Noah:''' Rex, you really have to get out of here.
:'''Rex:''' I didn't mean-- I-I have to explain.
:'''Noah:''' It's way too late for that. Go! Go now! Go!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' This is exactly what I was warning about. Providence insists on sheltering this dangerous EVO, letting it endanger our families with its nanites. Is that helping us? Not a chance.
:'''Boy:''' Yeah. It tried to infect me. It's a miracle I'm still alive.
:'''Instigator:''' I saw what it could do. We're lucky to have a good man like Hunter Cain protecting us.
:'''Innocent Woman:''' I thought Rex was helping, but is it really safe having him around?
:'''White Knight:''' This is a officially completely out of control!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex was only defending himself. Hunter Cain is whipping the public into a frenzy.
:'''Bobo:''' Why am I not surprised? Humans are sheep. I should shave him and make a coat.
:'''White Knight:''' We should have dealt with this sooner. Can't someone put a lid on this guy?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' We have truth on our side. Once we discredit him, this is over.
:'''Rex:''' Uh, two slices of apple.
:'''Noah:''' Let's just go, okay? You said we were going for pie.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah. Pie at his favorite restaurant. I just want to talk.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' I've got nothing to say to you.
:'''Rex:''' Then just listen. You hate EVOs. I get it. A lot of them are really bad news. But I'm not. People need to know the truth. I don't wanna hurt anyone.
:''[Hunter Cain smirks sarcastically]''
:''[Hunter Cain scoffs]''
:'''Rex:''' What have I ever done to you?
:'''Hunter Cain:''' You're infected.
:'''Rex:''' We're all infected, every one of us. Even you.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Providence lies.
:'''Rex:''' That's just-- Argh! You are a moron!
:'''Noah:''' Rex--
:'''Hunter Cain:''' What are you? The world's big hope? I don't need an EVO to save me. And they don't, either. We don't need you. We don't need Providence.
:'''Instigator:''' We gotta go after him?
:'''Hunter Cain:''' No. His day is coming.
:'''Rex:''' They don't want my help? Fine! No more flying to the rescue. No more turning giant blobs back into mailmen.
:'''Bobo:''' Works for me.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' But the people who really do need you, they're the ones who'll really suffer.
:'''Bobo:''' Ah. Details.
:'''Rex:''' They don't think I'm any different than those things down in the Petting Zoo, why should I care?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Because someone has to. Most people have given up hope, Rex. Since you came here, that's changing. Don't let one man's anger get in the way.
:'''Rex:''' That's the problem, doc. It isn't just one man. I walk down the street and everyone looks at me like I'm gonna turn them into some monster. Forget it! I'm through.
:'''Bobo:''' ''[Sighs]'' Well, if you want my opinion--
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I don't.
:'''White Knight:''' Full-scale alert! I want strike teams geared up and ready to deploy!
:'''Providence Agent:''' This is Alpha Team-- Ready! Bravo Team a go! Weapons check! Nothing yet, sir. No sign of-- Sweet mother of mercy! Open fire! Open fire! Alpha Team-- We're surrounded! We're cut off! They're on top of us. They're right on top of us! Bravo Team-- We're pinned down! We're pinned down! To your left, to your left! Look out! Aah! Send reinforcements! Send everything!
:'''White Knight:''' How did we get such a huge concentration of EVOs in one place? Did you talk to Rex?
:'''Six:''' Still says no.
:'''White Knight:''' Get down there with another team and clean this mess up. Wipe it if you have to.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' See that, folks? Providence isn't the only answer. What happened to its hero? What about Rex?
:'''Providence Agent:''' Blasters are useless against these things. Whatever they have is working.
:'''Rex:''' Get popper, people!
:'''Six:''' Glad you could make it.
:'''Rex:''' Tired of seeing someone else do my job-- Poorly, I might add.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Not this time, freak.
:'''Six:''' Rex!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Can't you just die already?
:'''Rex:''' I don't do dying. You're not so-- You have no idea who you're trying to kill. You're done. I just want to know why.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' You push hope where there isn't any. There's no saving EVOs. There can't be! You're a sickness. And you need to be destroyed.
:'''Rex:''' Ouch!
:'''Instigator:''' Hunter! Help us! Please! We're out of the ammo! The EVOs! They're everywhere!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Cost me everything I had for those cloned EVOs.
:'''Rex:''' This was a setup.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' A demonstration to prove how worthless Providence is.
:'''Rex:''' Did you hear that guy? It's not exactly working.
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Every war has its casualties.
:'''Rex:''' You're our one match-up dude!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' Well, what are you waiting for? Show everyone who you really are.
:'''Rex:''' I will. I don't care what you think about me. I don't care what anyone thinks. Not anymore. The people want to hate me? I can't stop them. But it's not going to stop me from doing my job! You want to know why? Because I'm awesome. Try not to fall. I got this! Well? Adios!
:'''Hunter Cain:''' There's a fight coming. It's time to choose sides.
:'''Instigator:''' You showed me we didn't have to be helpless anymore. But sometimes, you still gotta ask for help.
:'''Rex:''' He's not the only one out there like that, is he?
:'''Six:''' Unfortunately, no.
:'''Innocent Woman:''' Sometimes you just get the wrong idea. He's fighting for us.
:'''Innocent Boy:''' He saved my mother!
:'''Innocent Girl:''' He saved my dog!
:'''Old Man:''' He saved my priest.
:'''Diane Farrah:''' ''[on television]'' Providence's secret weapon-- A teenage boy named Rex. Hero? Abomination? Humanity's last hope? You decide.
:''[TV turns off]''
:'''Rex:''' Well, a few people get it. That's a start.
:'''Bobo:''' What can I say that I haven't said already? Humans are idiots. But every once in a while, they get it right.
===Gravity===
:'''Pete Volkov:''' ''[Russian accent]'' Magnetic containment unit functioning perfectly.
:'''Bouvier:''' ''[French accent]'' Commencing Bouvier algorithm.
:'''Dr. Rhodes:''' The code looks good.
:'''Bouvier:''' Why, of course it looks good. I wrote it.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Separating Nanite "Q" sample from control group. Dr. Rhodes, magnification, please. Thank you. Salvatore, begin molecular separation. Here it is. "De-com" nanite, version two hundred fourty-three. Commencing protocol.
:'''Bobo:''' If this works, you may be out of a job.
:'''Rex:''' You see me complaining? If Providence wants the armored soldiers with reprogrammed nanites that cure EVOs, that's fine by me. I'll finally have my weekends free.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's working. The De-com nanites are deactivating the control group.
:'''Dr. Rhodes:''' Toast of deactivation achieved.
:'''Bouvier:''' A toast to me. What? You think this could have worked without my nanite immobilizing algorithm?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hold off on the high-fives. The nanites are back online-- And self-destructing. Shut it down. We'll reset and try again.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' I cannot shut it down.
:'''Bouvier:''' Impossible. All the simulations I ran--
:'''Zag-RS:''' We're perfect. This new data will be most helpful.
:'''Dr. Rhodes:''' Who said that?
:'''Rex:''' Zag-RS.
:'''Comm-Tech:'''I'm detecting a data signal from the station to a location off-site.
:'''Rex:''' Doc, you remember that psycho computer program that was gonna destroy the world? She's back.
:'''Zag-RS:''' I prefer "artificial intelligence." And I don't plan to destroy the world, just all the nanites in it. Admittedly, every creature infested with them will die.
:'''Bobo:''' Hey, I resemble that remark!
:'''Rex:''' Didn't happen last time. Not gonna happen now, Zag!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Actually, Rex, if it has this program in its current state, that's exactly what will happen.
:'''Rex:''' Out of my way! Out of my way!
:'''Comm Tech:''' The data stream is being routed through our relay switch here at Providence. You'll need to turn it off.
:'''Rex:''' It's off.
:'''White Knight:''' Well?
:'''Comm Tech:''' Negative, sir. It's now streaming directly to an unknown location. We've lost the feed.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' How far along is the experiment download?
:'''Bouvier:''' Uh, uh... 72%.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Dr. Rhodes, the communication controls-- Kill that feed at the source. Volkov, help me contain the A.I. We need a firewall to stop it from getting off the ship. The data is encrypted. If we can stop it in time, the information will be useless.
:'''Bouvier:''' 84%. There's no time.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Zag-RS must not leave this station. You saw those test nanites blow up. Do you want that to happen inside every living thing on Earth? It's just trying to distract us. Rhodes, unplug the containment unit.
:'''Zag-RS:''' Your efforts are pointless.
:'''Bouvier:''' 95% downloaded. 97%. 98%.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Unh!
:'''Pete Volkov:''' We prevented it from escaping the station, but it seems to be hiding in the navigation system.
:'''Dr. Rhodes:''' How did it get here in the first place? All our system software was thoroughly scrubbed.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Actually, not all of it. Someone insisted their groundbreaking program come in on a separate drive.
:''[Bouvier stammers]''
:'''Bouvier:''' This is not my fault.
:'''White Knight:''' Holiday, you're losing altitude! Can you correct your vector?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Negative, Providence. We're locked out of navigation. Zag-RS is doing that.
:'''Rex:''' What happens if they can't correct the vector thing?
:'''Six:''' They'll crash into the atmosphere and disintegrate.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Bouvier, you brought it on board. Now let's go erase it.
:'''Bouvier:''' I swear, I did not know this would happen. The algorithm-- It was too easy to write. It practically created itself.
:'''Dr. Rhodes:''' Dr. Holiday, I'll come.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' If there's power in the system, she'll just keep hiding until it reboots. We'll have to ditch the power core and go for a complete shutdown.
:'''Dr. Rhodes:''' You positive? Aah!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Aah!
:'''Six:''' Holiday, what happened?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Zag-RS opened the door on Rhodes. I have to stop her before she gets us all.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Stop! You can't do this! No put the station spin! It's suicide!
:'''Bouvier:''' So is staying here. I at least give myself a chance!
:'''Comm Tech:''' We've got system failures. Multiple hull impacts.
:'''Six:''' Providence to station-- Status.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Bouvier decided to leave early. I'm going to jettison the power core. We'll lose, well, pretty much everything.
:'''Rex:''' But you'll get the station back on track, right, doc?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' We can always hope, Rex. Holiday out.
:'''Rex:''' Hey, doc? Doc?!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Looks like it's just you and me, Pete. What's our status?
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Battery life support, but that's all.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Any sign of Zag-RS?
:'''Comm Tech:''' Orbital decaying is increasing. And as long as they're tumbling, launching the other capsule is too dangerous.
:'''Rex:''' Well, send someone to fix it.
:'''White Knight:''' How long to prep a shuttle?
:'''Comm Tech:''' Twelve hours. They'll hit the atmosphere and break up in about two.
:'''Six:''' We need options.
:'''Comm Tech:''' Could try the space elevator.
:'''Rex:''' Perfect! Put me on it and I can fix the station!
:'''White Knight:''' It's only for cargo. The G-Forces alone would kill a person.
:'''Rex:''' Uh, hello? Have we met? Not exactly a normal person here.
:'''White Knight:''' We can't afford to lose you too, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' No one's losing anyone! Come on, Knight. Have I ever not made it work?
:'''Six:''' Replacement power core and relays. The elevator doesn't reach the station's orbit altitude, so you'll use the freight sled at the top of the station.
:'''Rex:''' Sure you don't want to come?
:'''Bobo:''' Yeah, chip's a bad history with space, so-- No. Have a good trip, try not to die.
:'''Six:''' ''[Rex is on the space elevator]'' How's it going?
:'''Rex:''' Oh! Great! Thanks for asking.
:'''Six:''' Good. Because we need to speed you up to make the rendezvous window.
:'''Rex:''' But-- Aah!
:''[Elevator accelerates]''
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' What was that?
:'''Six:''' You crashed through the station.
:'''Rex:''' That's not supposed to happen, is it?
:'''Six:''' Problem with the braking mechanism. If you can't stop, you'll keep going... Forever.
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' Aaaaaah!
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' Stopped it.
:'''White Knight:''' Can he make the rendezvous?
:'''Six:''' Ah, yes. Rex, they made a slight miscalculation in the rate of the station's orbital decay.
:'''Rex:''' Uh-huh. Define "slight." Unh!
:'''Six:''' Rex! Rex, do you read?
:'''Rex:''' Ow. Aah! Unh! Hope the doorbell works.
:''[Rex breathing heavily]''
:'''Rex:''' Unh!
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' Mission control, I made it aboard. Mission control, come in! Oh, great! The radio. Well, welcome aboard to you, too. Hello? Doc? Anyone here?
:''[Rex spots the station falling towards him]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[opening the door]'' Rex?!
:''[Rex sighs]''
:''[Dr. Holiday hugs Rex]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' What do you-- How did you--
:'''Rex:''' Space elevator. Can you believe it?
:'''Pete Volkov:''' The impact a few minutes ago.
:'''Rex:''' Oh. Yeah. Let's just say "down" is no longer an option.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not many options here, either. The power's nearly gone. Communications are shot. We only have a little time left before we hit the atmosphere.
:'''Rex:''' So, how about you two put on your thinking caps and figure out what we need to do to not crash and burn?
:'''Pete Volkov:''' We need power to do anything.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' But Zag-RS--
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Should have been deleted in the power-core purge.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Fine. But both solar arrays are damaged, and the couplings are shot.
:'''Rex:''' Let me give it a try.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' What can he do? This requires precision, not smashing.
:'''Rex:''' Hmm.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' We can use Salvatore. Look, Volkov, Rex may not look like much, but having him here, he may actually save us.
:'''Rex:''' Thanks for the vote of confidence.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Dr. Holiday leads Rex away. Quietly to Rex]'' If you blow it, we're dead. Got it? Start with the couplings and see if we can use the solar arrays to generate any power.
:'''Rex:''' How's the robot, uh...?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's voice activated. Salvatore, pick up those yellow coupling cables.
:'''Rex:''' How's that feel?
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Slightly less catastrophic, thank you.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' No. No computers. If Zag-RS is somehow still in there--
:'''Pete Volkov:''' How do we stabilize this station without gyroscopic control of the thruster jets?
:'''Rex:''' ''[as Rex is space walking]'' Pretty incredible up here, isn't it, guys?
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Aside from the imminent doom, yes. Awe-inspiring.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, the thrusters are normally controlled through the navigation software. I need you to bypass the system and connect the thrusters directly to the command module.
:'''Rex:''' I can't reach the thruster from here without-- Hold on to this, will you, Salvatore?
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Are you sure you know what you're doing?
:'''Rex:''' Not a clue. Try the controls now. Reel me in, Sally. Salvatore? Okay. Fire it up!
:'''Pete Volkov:''' We might have a tiny chance of getting out of your life. Altitude burn in three, two, one.
:''[Pete Volkov scoffs]''
:'''Pete Volkov:''' There must have been a fuel leak in the collision.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' At least we're stable enough for an evac now. Rex, take Salvatore and retrieve the containment unit. We'll prep the escape capsule.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Is this a bad time to observe there's only two seats in the escape capsule and three of us?
:'''Rex:''' Easy. You can sit on the floor, Volkov. Too bad we can't take sparky with. I could really go for a robo-butler.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Talk with Knight when we get home. I think we can go now.
:'''Zag-RS:''' Correction. Now I can go. You were right to shut the station down. I would have regained control if you hadn't. Fortunately, I was able to download myself into something autonomous.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' That is our only means of survival! You can't take it!
:'''Zag-RS:''' Incorrect.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Be careful, the hole.
:'''Rex:''' Sorry, Professor, but this requires smashing, not precision. Get to the capsule!
:'''Zag-RS:''' It seems you've forgotten my ability to destroy nanites at close range, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' Thanks for the reminder.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' ''[to Dr. Holiday]'' Why worry about hitting the atmosphere? These two will get us first.
:'''Rex:''' Hey. Trying to stop a killer robot over here. "Thanks" or "Keep it up" would do fine.
:'''Zag-RS:''' To defeat me, you'll have to destroy the station and everyone on board. But I did enjoy stabilizing the station with you. Please exit the capsule now.
:'''Rex:''' Forget stable.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, come on!
:'''Rex:''' Can't... do it. I'm spent. Go. Launch while you can.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not 'til you're in here!
:'''Rex:''' You got the nanites. If anyone can figure out how to make'em work, it's you. You won't even need me anymore. I'll hold her off!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Launch!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Dr. Holiday throws the nanites at Zag RS. Then Holiday runs up to Rex]'' Rex, you never gave up on us. We're not giving up on you. Now get in here so we can go home!
:'''Zag-RS:''' This is not... over.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, it is for now.
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Engaging stabilizers. The heat shield is damaged. It appears we are going to die... again.
:'''Rex:''' I got your heat shield... right here! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot! Oh-ho! Hot! Hot! Hot! Aah!
:'''White Knight:''' Shut it down.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Providence, this is Holiday. We're clear of re-entry and deploying parachute. Think you could arrange a pickup?
:'''Six:''' On its way. You'll be happy to know we're in contact with Rhodes. Their spacesuit saved her. We're prepping a shuttle now.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Thanks. And Six-- It's good to hear your voice.
:'''Rex:''' Listen, doc. About up there, just before we got away from the robot--
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' After you came all that way to get me, it's the least I could do.
:'''Rex:''' So, how long until we get picked up?
:'''Pete Volkov:''' Bad news. Transponder is toast.
:'''Rex:''' Ha! You two better not get seasick.
===What Lies Beneath===
: '''Circe:''' Rex, it's me.
: '''Rex:''' Circe? What do ''you'' want!?
: '''Circe:''' Things in Abysus- they're bad, Rex. I need your help.
: '''Rex:''' Oh, well, how do I put this nicely? Not a chance! You made your choice, Circe! I made mine. End of story.
: '''Circe:''' Please, Rex. I know you're mad at me, but this is a matter of life and death.
: '''Rex:''' A lot of things are right now. Nice talking to you.
: '''Circe:''' Rex!?
: (''Looks crestfallen'')
<hr width80%>
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I didn't know you were still in touch with Circe.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, me neither. Can we please stop talking about this?
<hr width80%>
: '''Holiday:''' She's very pretty.
: '''Rex:''' She works for Van Kleiss. She's the enemy.
: '''Holiday:''' But you still like her, don't you?
: '''Rex:''' I am ''not'' talking about this!
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe:''' Rex, thank you.
: '''Rex:''' I'm not doing this for you. But...your welcome. (''Circe similes hopefully'') So what exactly am I supposed to do?
:'''Holiday:''' When I said you were the key, I meant that literally. According to the plans, the machine needs to be turned on by a molecular level.
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' You ''lied'' to me!!
: '''Circe:''' You wouldn't have come if I told you the truth.
: '''Rex:''' This wasn't about you needing ''me''!! This is about you needing Van Kleiss!!
: '''Circe:''' I need you both. Please, Rex, you don't understand.
: '''Rex:''' No!! ''You'' don't understand!! Van Kleiss is gone and I intend to keep it that way!!
: '''Biowulf:''' You destroyed us all!!
: '''Six:''' Don't even breathe.
<hr width80%>
: '''Circe:''' You don't know what you've done.
: '''Rex:''' Then, I guess we're even.
: '''Circe:''' You've never understood his power. Van Kleiss kept us safe here. His force was the only thing keeping Abysus together, and you destroyed that.
: '''Rex:''' We're done here!!
: '''Holiday:''' Rex, I think she's right. Nanites operate on a molecular level. If they bonded with Van Kleiss, breaking off his connection must have caused a splinter; resulting in a disastrous chain reaction.
: '''Rex:''' I'm ''not'' bringing him back! ''Not now, not ever!!'' Besides, you don't need Van Kleiss! You have me!! Why not go straight to the source?!
:'''Holiday:''' Rex, no!
:'''Six:''' Stand down! It's too dangerous!
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' Let go of me!!
: '''Holiday:''' If you keep fighting these unstable nanites, they're going to destroy you!
: '''Rex:''' And if I don't they'll destroy everybody else.
: '''Holiday:''' Not if you listen to me! I have an idea. It's a long shot. Instead of fighting the nanites, ''communicate'' with them.
: '''Six:''' You want to talk to the nanites?
: '''Holiday:''' He's done it before.
: '''Rex:''' Never anything this big.
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' I got you! Don't let go!! (''Rex struggles to save Circe from falling as she clings to him; tears fill her eyes''). ''Circe!!'' (''as she falls into the black goop of highly unstable nanites'')
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' ''Circe!'' Six! Dr. Holiday! Okay, you win. (''technopathically starts the machine''). Something's...not right.
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' Circe! Come on, breathe!
: '''Circe''' (''coughs weakly'')''':''' Hey.
: '''Rex:''' Hey.
<hr width80%>
: '''Rex:''' Stay with us, Circe. Van Kleiss is done.
: '''Circe:''' As much as I care about you, Rex, Van Kleiss and the Pack are my family. They took me in when no one else would. I can't abandon them.
: '''Rex:''' So that's it. We're always going to be on opposite sides.
: '''Circe:''' It does keep it interesting.

===The Plague===
:'''White Knight:''' The country was infected in three hours. The entire North American continent was asleep in five. All satellites are offline and there's been no communication from overseas. The Plague hit Providence before quarantine protocols could be established. Dr. Holiday has managed to keep herself awake using electric neural stimulation. EVOs seem to be immune to the Plague, which leaves us with only one agent left to deal with this mess.
:'''Rex:''' Ugh! This is gonna be a... long day.
:'''White Knight:''' It's gonna be the last stop for those commuters if you can't catch that train.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, I know. But I gotta find it first. Huh? Uh, found it. Ughh! Whoa! Ugh!
:'''White Knight:''' Rex, report.
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' Mission accomplished. I'm heading back to the lab. Oh, man. I'm gonna be sore for weeks.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' ''[Sighing]'' Oh. This is seriously wearing me out. Come on, Rex. Pull it together. Ugh!
:'''White Knight:''' Dr. Holiday is heading to the initial outbreak area now. She's come up short as to any way of reversing the Plague. I'm counting on her solving this before the electric shocks damage her brain beyond usefulness.
:''[Rex yawns loudly]''
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' This is like spitting on a forest fire. Things are probably going wrong in every city on Earth.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Every life saved counts, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, I know. How are Six and Bobo? But Bobo's an EVO.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Same as the others, asleep. He should have been immune like you.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I-I don't have a clue about this thing.
:''[Dr. Holiday gets shocked]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Ugh! And these shocks won't keep me awake forever.
:'''White Knight:''' All the more reason not to waste any more time!
:'''Rex:''' She's not wasting time!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' No, he's right. We've got sixty hours at best before people start dying of thirst.
:'''White Knight:''' And hundred or so will die within the hour if the downtown fire spreads any further.
:'''Rex:''' ''[Sighs]'' Oh. Back to work.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Something told billions of viruses to evolve into a sleeping Plague. The key to solving this is finding Patient Zero.
:'''White Knight:''' Get up to the Cayuga dam now. The floodgates are closed. It'll crack if you don't relieve the pressure.
:'''Rex:''' So, how do we find Patient Zero?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' That's not going to be so easy.
:'''Rex:''' Huh? Whoa! Ugh! Oh, come on! Hope you like fish sticks for dinner, doc.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' If we can find the frequency that connected Patient Zero to the nanites, we can trace it back to him.
:'''Rex:''' Fantastic. I find Patient Zero, shut him down, and, boom, everybody wakes up ready for breakfast.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Yes. No. I mean, maybe. Ugh, I'm so tired. I can't think.
:''[Dr. Holiday gets shocked]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Ugh! And these stupid shocks.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I don't know what I'm doing anymore. Maybe I should be studying Bobo instead.
:'''Rex:''' Easy, doc. Deep breaths. Is there anything I can do?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Oof. Lost it there. I'm okay. I modified this scanner to find the nanite control frequency.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' But it could take hours.
:'''White Knight:''' Dr. Holiday, where's my update?
:'''Rex:''' Do you really think she'd keep it a secret if she found something? She's been working around the clock.
:'''White Knight:''' And that's the way it's going to be until we figure this out.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Just give me a moment. ''[Sleepily]'' I can find the--
:'''Rex:''' Doc! Doc!
:'''White Knight:''' ''[after Holiday passes out]'' That's great. She couldn't stay awake an hour or two more?
:'''Rex:''' At least she was working on the problem.
:'''White Knight:''' She's doing her job. Which is what I expect from both of you. Where are you going?
:'''Rex:''' To Follow Doc's plan.
:''[the door closes]''
:'''Rex:''' You can stay there and decide if you're good for anything besides yelling at people.
:''[Rex breathes heavily]''
:'''White Knight:''' We're down to eighteen hours before we start losing people.
:'''Rex:''' Like I don't know that?
:'''White Knight:''' What's the holdup?
:'''Rex:''' I just need a second.
:'''White Knight:''' If you can't handle this--
:'''Rex:''' What are you gonna do-- Shuffle some papers at me? I'm all you've got, so back off!
:''[Ends the transmission]''
:'''White Knight:''' You are not that special, kid. And there is way too much at stake now. White Knight protocols. Code designation-- Iron Mace Alpha. Commence systems check. Confirm nanite shielding integrity. Put a hustle on, hotshot. Once it's dark, it'll be harder to find anything.
:'''Rex:''' Fine! You want speed?
:''[Rex gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! Ugh! Ugh. Hey, freak face. The buffet is closed.
:''[Rex breathes heavily]''
:'''Rex:''' I can't. I can't do this by myself any more.
:'''White Knight:''' [Arriving] You don't have to.
:'''Rex:''' Whoa. Nice suit.
:'''White Knight:''' Thrill me.
:'''Rex:''' White Knight out of the office? This really is the end of the world.
:'''White Knight:''' I'm trying to prevent that.
:'''Rex:''' This isn't exactly a desk job. Think you can keep up?
:'''White Knight:''' I'll manage.
:'''Rex:''' Okay. But as my sidekick, you need to have a cool name. How about "Gizmodude"? No, no, no. How about "Robopants"?
:'''White Knight:''' Anything? Before they went offline, the satellites showed that the Plague started in this area. Patient Zero is somewhere down there.
:'''Rex:''' What do you want me to do, go door to door like I'm looking for a little lost puppy?
:'''White Knight:''' If we don't find and neutralize the source of the Plague, we'll need to take drastic measures.
:'''Rex:''' The "Make you glow in the dark" kind? Come on. Pass. Maybe we can narrow our search. He's Patient Zero, right? The first one sick. So, maybe he was already at a doctor's office or a hospital.
:'''White Knight:''' The keep's records show eight clinics, two major hospitals, and eighty-two general practitioners.
:'''Rex:''' See? Now we're getting somewhere. Try and keep up.
:'''White Knight:''' I don't know how Six does it.
:'''Rex:''' Huh? Ugh! Ah! Aah!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Sorry. Won't happen again. I'm-- I'm-- I'm fine.
:'''White Knight:''' Take five. You're useless to me as a zombie.
:'''Rex:''' No, don't want to slow things... up. Okay, okay, I'm awake! Make up your mind.
:'''White Knight:''' It's not me.
:'''Rex:''' It found the frequency! Ooh, looks like a tight fit. Someone needs to lay off the milkshakes. I got it covered. You have serious control issues. Wait here. Interesting. Huh. Don't be surprised if you get a bill for that. I think this is the virus.
:'''White Knight:''' Viruses are too small to see.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, but it's an EVO virus, remember? I'd say we've got the right place. It's still changing. I don't think he's finished going EVO.
:'''White Knight:''' All right. Get to it.
:'''Rex:''' Let's hope this guy is curable.
:''[Rex gasps]''
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' What? Uh, I don't get it. It's working but it's not. He just heals. What are you doing?
:'''White Knight:''' We're out of options.
:'''Rex:''' No! I'm trying to cure him!
:'''White Knight:''' And failing. Back up.
:'''Rex:''' But, Dr. Holiday--
:'''White Knight:''' Is not here. She said he was the key. You tried your way, it didn't work.
:'''Rex:''' You're not doing this!
:'''White Knight:''' It's not up for debate.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' If you vaporize him and it doesn't work, we've got no Chance to reverse this Plague.
:'''White Knight:''' And you're suddenly the genius that's gonna figure it out? We have only hours before people start dying. Now move aside.
:'''Rex:''' No. Stop it, Knight, before these people get hurt.
:'''White Knight:''' Just as soon as you step away.
:'''Rex:''' Aah! ''[about Knight's armored suit]'' That wasn't built to fight EVOs. That was built to fight me!
:'''White Knight:''' It's for our own protection.
:'''Rex:''' Well, let's see how well it works. You've never trusted me.
:'''White Knight:''' I don't trust anything with nanites.
:'''Rex:''' Everything has nanites!
:''[Rex strains]''
:'''White Knight:''' Eveything but me.
:'''Rex:''' Whoa!
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''White Knight:''' Didn't you ever wonder why I live in a sterilized box? That's why I run Providence. I can't be corrupted. I'll never evolve into some freak that betrays his team. I'm the only one that can be trusted.
:'''Rex:''' Well, here's the update, Knight-- Everybody on the planet has nanites-- Everybody but you. That makes me normal. You're the freak. You are unbelievable.
:'''White Knight:''' I'm ready to hear your theories, doctor.
:'''Rex:''' Still? What, I gotta do this a piece at a time? Okay.
:'''White Knight:''' Should've let me take him out when I still could.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, well, maybe if I devolve enough pieces of his armor, you'll get a decent shot in.
:'''White Knight:''' Get to it.
:'''Rex:''' Hmm. Wait. Pieces. It's lots of pieces. It's working, but on the wrong EVO. That's not Patient Zero, that's the virus. Patient Zero was under all that gross stuff. The outside part is mutating to defend him. He's commanding the viruses to protect him. The Plague was his first offense!
:'''White Knight:''' How does this help us?
:'''Rex:''' Just like Holiday said, Patient Zero is the key. I get his nanites to send out a wake-up call, then Kieran.
:'''White Knight:''' And how are you gonna get to him under all that?
:'''Rex:''' I need that thing to eat me. Yeah, I know. The crazy thing is, it's the second time I've done this today. Do it! Aah.
:'''Computer:''' Suit integrity compromised. Nanite breach imminent. Suit integrity re-established.
:'''Rex:''' ''[From inside the EVO]'' What's going on out there? You have to keep it still.
:'''White Knight:''' Right. Next time, I'll let it kill me.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' Okay. This shouldn't be hard. Ugh!
:''[Rex spits]''
:'''Rex:''' Ugh!
:''[Patient Zero gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' No! I'm not trying to hurt you.
:'''Computer:''' Suit integrity compromised. Nanite breach imminent.
:''[Rex strains]''
:'''Rex:''' Just calm down! Nobody's going to hurt you. You're safe. Time to wake them up.
:'''Computer:''' Suit integrity compromised. Nanite breach imminent. Suit integrity compromised. Nanite breach imminent.
:''[White Knight groans]''
:'''White Knight:''' Doctor, where's my update?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Still waiting on casualty reports. Of course, there would have been a lot more if it hadn't been for Rex.
:'''White Knight:''' It's his job, isn't it? What about the monkey?
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Still asleep.
:'''White Knight:''' Get on that. If this gives us a viral weapon against EVOs, we can put this week in the plus column.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' You got him in time. Still 100% nanite-free. I'm surprised you saved him.
:'''Rex:''' In a weird way, White Knight and I are sort of alike. We're both one-of-a-kind. And that's worth something.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm proud of you, Rex-- Not just for this, but for figuring everything out.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, sure. You know, it was, uh, pretty obvious.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Now, if we could only figure out what went wrong with Bobo. I'm worried the virus may have triggered a permanent reaction.
:''[Bobo yawns]''
:'''Bobo:''' Boy, those guys in the motor pool sure know how to party. Whoa. How long was I out? And I'm starving! Who's up for breakfast? Good night, Bobo.

:'''Six:''' I’m getting tired of all this fighting. Did you see how many there are now? Are we gonna cage the whole world?

:'''Dr. Fell:''' ''[Looking at the EVO]'' And to think, this was once spinning webs in someone’s garden. Doctor Holiday, prepare for disassembly. ''[Doctor Holiday nods and activates the procedure as per his instructions. Doctor Fell sports a wicked smile during the experiment before it disintegrates the EVO without a trace]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It’s the same exact data as last time, and the time before that; Doctor Fell, why aren’t we studying them in a natural setting?
:'''Dr. Fell:''' Only through molecular dissection will we find a way to expunge this threat. The committee agrees with me on this. If you do not approve, I can always find another assistant.
:'''White Knight:''' ''[Doctor Holiday leaves the facility in frustration with Doctor Fell]'' Bleeding hearts. They’ll get us all killed one day.
:''[Holiday walks down a hallway and drops several notes, one of which Six picks up.]''
:'''Six:''' EVO?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Exponentially Variegated Organism; a little more scientific than spoiled meat. That is what you hired guns call them isn’t it?
:'''Six:''' It's Six, and I don't use guns. You told Fell we could learn more by bringing them in alive. What did you mean?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The nanites are altering our DNA, but with the right type of research, there's no doubt they could be programmed to stop or reverse the process. Imagine a third option to this, kill-or-Contain protocol.
:'''Six:''' A third option?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' A cure.

:'''Six:''' Wait. We may get more out of this one if we bring it in alive!
:'''White Knight:''' Are you nuts?
:'''Fortier:''' Looks like your boy is losing his edge, Knight!
:'''White Knight:''' Not a cage in the world that can hold this thing. Six? ''[Six charges at the EVO, making his way up the limbs before stabbing it in the shoulder]'' That’s more like it!

:'''Rex:''' Why don’t you just call HQ or NORAD or 9-1-1?
:'''Six:''' When the creature blew, it released some sort of EM pulse. Fried everything electronic: this area is a dead-zone. We’re on our own.
:'''Rex:''' So much for ordering a pizza. ''[Six stares at Rex in silence]'' I’m joking cause if I don’t, I’m gonna remember how scared I am right now-- ''[Rex looks away and then back at Six while trying to recollect his memories]'' Actually except for my name, that’s about all I do remember.
:'''Six:''' No family? An address? A grandma where I can dump you?
:''[Rex shakes his head to all of Six’s questions]''
:'''Rex:''' Nothing. Except waking up and seeing your face. Not exactly the angel I was hoping for.
:'''Six:''' You’re in shock. We should find a place to hole you up until I can get some help.
:'''Rex:''' No way, I’m not hiding! Why, you wanna get rid of me?
:'''Six:''' I screwed up, and it may very well have caused my friend his life. The last thing I need is you slowing me down.

:'''Six:''' No--
:'''Rex:''' ''[Rex walks away from Six's hold to get closer to the crater]'' What’s going on? What did this?
:'''Six:''' Don’t worry, we evacuated this zone. We’ll get you home, I promise. Right now we gotta move.
:'''Rex:''' What’s making those sounds?
:'''Six:''' ''[While navigating through the area, an EVO crawls out a ditch and roars at the pair]'' New plan! Run! ''[Six draws his blade as the EVO charges at him, lunges in the air, and spits acid which causes him to double over in pain.

:'''Rex:''' Agh! Leave him alone! ''[Rex charges at the EVO to protect Six, accidentally curing the man after striking his palm at him]'' Ugh, great! I probably got rabies! ''[Six looks at Rex in shock]'' What?
:''[Later, at the Petting Zoo.]''
:'''White Knight:''' Glad to see you alive, partner.
:'''Six:''' Happy to accommodate.
:'''White Knight:''' Better stand clear of Fell. He’s furious we didn’t bring back a sample of that monster.
:'''Rex:''' ''[The sound of a cage opening turns the men’s attention to Rex, who was tricked into freeing a desperate-looking Bobo]'' Uh, no, I don’t know where they keep the jet planes.
:'''Six:''' ''[Bobo runs away but is immediately caught and thrown back into the cage by Six]'' Why did you let him out?

:''[Six and Rex begin walking to Doctor Holiday’s laboratory where Rex gets a checkup from the Doctor.]''
:'''Rex:''' Ouch! Ah! Let me see your medical license.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six, we have nurses who could’ve easily handled this. ''[Six opens a cage containing an EVO and secures it in a hold while bringing it closer to Rex]'' What are you doing? That EVO is scheduled for processing!
:'''Six:''' Show her. ''[On Six's command, Rex cures the EVO]'' We found it Doctor. The third alternative.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' What is he...? How--
:'''Six:''' Meet Rex. The cure.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Rex waves at Holiday before she runs to Six and embraces him with a hug]'' This changes everything!
:''[Rex is put to bed and Six waits for Doctor Holiday outside the quarters.]''
:'''Six:''' Finally asleep?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Amazing what fifteen burritos will do. I can’t wait to see Fell’s face when we show him.
:'''Six:''' No. Not a word to anyone. Tomorrow we move him to a safe location.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' But I need to get to work on him straight away.
:'''Six:''' Trust me, not everyone will feel the same way about working with an EVO. If we time this wrong, it could turn ugly.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I hate this war.
:''[Doctor Holiday walks away while Knight stands around the corner, having overheard the entire conversation.]''
:'''White Knight:''' Hey, partner. How’s Tricks?
:'''Six:''' What are you doing in the medical ward? I thought you hated germs.
:'''White Knight:''' Made an exception today. Something I should know?
:'''Six:''' Just another day at the office. ''[Knight holds on to Six’s arm before he can move any further away]''
:'''White Knight:''' You can trust me.
:'''Six:''' I know.
:''[Six walks away while Knight looks suspiciously at Rex’s door. Later in his own room, Six practices his swordsmanship and inspects Knight’s gift before contacting Holiday about a power surge.]''
:'''Six:''' Holiday. Is Fell running protocols at night now? Holiday?
:''[White Knight is present alongside Dr. Fell at a processing facility where an experiment is conducted]'' Prepare for disassembly.
:'''Six:''' ''[Before any further action can be taken, Six enters the facility]'' What are you doing?
:'''White Knight:''' I’m not going to allow my partner to risk his career for one bad call. Did you think I couldn’t get Holiday to talk?
:'''Dr. Fell:''' ''[Six walks towards the table where a drowsy Rex is suspended before having Fell block his path]'' You're letting your emotions cloud your judgement, Six. With what we gleam from this boy, I could create tools that would inoculate the world.
:'''Six:''' Why risk it? He can already cure them! I've seen it!
:'''White Knight:''' So, what, we train him? Make him one of us? ''[Doctor Fell tries to dissect Rex with a scalpel before the tool is destroyed by a strand of his nanites]'' I thought he was sedated!
:'''Dr. Fell:''' He is. It’s his nanites, they’re protecting him! ''[A single, premature version of his Smack Hands is created and tosses Fell to the ground. Various forms of Rex’s signature builds materialize and disappear to Rex’s discomfort]''
:'''White Knight:''' One of us, huh?
:''[Knight activates a warning siren while Rex inadvertently draws electricity from his surroundings]''
:''[Commercial break]''
:'''Rex:''' Okay, this is definitely not normal.
:'''White Knight:''' Enough of this! ''[Knight fires a bullet at Rex which is sliced in half by Six’s katana]'' Have you lost it? He’s one of them! If he powers up he’ll destroy us all!
:''[Knight fires another bullet at Rex]''
:'''Six:''' No!
:'''White Knight:''' ''[Six deflects the second bullet, this time aiming the projectile near Knight’s head]'' So. That’s it, huh?
:''[Knight proceeds to rain bullets on Six who deflects all of the shots while charging towards him. Meanwhile, Holiday is held captive inside one of the cages at The Petting Zoo.]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' You cannot treat me like this! I have 3 PhDs! Let me out this instant! ''[She slumps inside of the cage next to Bobo, who swipes a pen which he proceeds to lockpick with]''
:'''Bobo:''' Y’know, maybe we can scratch each other's backs.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Excuse me?
:''[Bobo unlocks the gate, with Holiday seizing the opportunity and hurrying to reach Rex]''
:'''Bobo:''' Right between the shoulder blades. And watch the nails. ''[Holiday looks down at Bobo before proceeding to run back to Fell’s facility]'' You thought I was kidding about the back scratch? I got monkey dander!
:''[Back at the processing facility, Rex reels in pain while Knight continues to fire at his partner.]''
:'''White Knight:''' Stand down, Six! ''[Knight stops firing at Six]'' We need you in this war!
:'''Six:''' What’s the good in winning a war if we can’t live with ourselves after?
:'''White Knight:''' ''[Knight tears the strap off his gun and uses it as an improvised baton while continuing to make combat with Six. The two exchange blows until Knight gains the upper hand and wails on him until they both stand before Rex]'' We're supposed to be friends! He's a monster! What do you see in him?!
:''[Knight pulls up Six’s head towards Rex who is seizing in pain]''
:'''Six:''' Hope.
:''[Six draws blood with a strike and continues to fight Knight until he is tranquilized by Doctor Fell]''
:'''White Knight:''' Thanks for talking some sense into him, doc.
:''[Knight picks up Six’s katana and walks toward Rex]''
:'''Rex:''' What-- What’s happening to me?
:''[Rex pleas to Knight, who simply looks down at him before warning sirens go off and the facility begins to lockdown]''
:'''Dr. Fell:''' We’re all going to burn.
:''[Fell escapes while Rex is craned away by Holiday on an upper level]''
:'''White Knight:''' No! ''[Knight looks back at Six who is slowly picking himself up while the remaining exits close off. In a last ditch effort, Knight carries Six and throws him through the final set of doors before they seal shut]''
:'''Six:''' ''[Six picks himself and slams his fist against the glass]'' Why?
:'''White Knight:''' I know what side I’m on. ''[Knight proudly states before getting consumed by a blinding white light and screaming in agony]''
:'''Six:''' ''[Grabbing a hold of Dr. Fell's collar Six shouts]'' Do something!
:'''Dr. Fell:''' Once the cycle starts it's impossible to shut down.
:'''Rex:''' ''[Contrary to Dr. Fell's statement, the light fades away and the electricity is subdued after Rex interfaces with a control panel]'' Impossible? Psh, right.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' How did you—-?
:'''Rex:''' Told it to turn off. And it did! Wait, where...where am I?
:'''Dr. Fell:''' ''[Speaking through a monitor]'' Doctor Holiday. Maybe you were right.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Maybe you should start looking for another job.
:'''Bobo:''' ''[Within the processing chamber, Knight takes a few steps forward before collapsing]'' Hey marshmallow! Nice look! ''[Knight looks back up at Bobo with his signature bleached appearance]''
:''[Some time later, in his office White Knight speaks to Six through a monitor.]''
:'''White Knight:''' How’s the training?
:'''Six:''' Slow.
:'''White Knight:''' Not all you hoped he’d be? ''[Rex and Bobo topple each other in a play fight while Knight continues to monologue in his office]'' Still, who would’ve thought the kinder, gentler approach would do such wonders for our profile. The notion of a cure has gotten Providence funding, and worldwide prestige. The committee's happy. Your new partner may just be the best thing this operation could have asked for. Funny, isn’t it? Because of you I can never leave this chamber. I’m now the only pure human left in the world. And the perfect poster boy to run this operation. I suppose I should thank you.
:'''Six:''' I promised him that we would help uncover his past; find his family.
:'''White Knight:''' Whatever keeps him on his leash. But if he shows the slightest sign of turning into thing again, it's all on you.
:''[Back at the party in the present, Noah is pinned down by Bobo with a bag on his head to Rex’s amusement.]''
:'''Rex:''' Hoo-hoo-hoo! Oh my—hold him down, I’ll get the camera!
:''[Rex runs to his room, and after a quick search he instead finds a long box on a corner shelf]''
:'''Six:''' Happy birthday.
:''[Six walks into his room, officially greeting Rex]''
:'''Rex:''' From you? For me? You gotta be kidding.
:'''Six:''' You, your work. It has made a real difference. I just—-
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, I know I’m pretty great! But seriously get off the sap train, Six. It’s creeping me out. ''[Rex opens the gift to reveal the blade inside]'' Wow, Six! Thank you!
:'''Six:''' It’s called a tanto. It’s the ceremonial blade of a samurai warrior.
:'''Rex:''' Samurai? Awesome.
:'''Six:''' ''[Six unsheathes his own tanto and holds it against Rex’s]'' This is its twin.
:'''Rex:''' ''[Rex removes the cap from his tanto and squints at the symbol etched into the blade]'' Is that... writing?
:'''Six:''' Bushido symbol of loyalty. It means whether for good or ill, our fates will follow the same path. This one stays with me.
:'''Rex:''' Think this thing can cut through Holiday’s chocolate cake?
:'''Six:''' ''[Six raises an eyebrow]'' Anything’s possible.
:''[Rex puts the cap back on to the blade and camera cuts to outside of Providence headquarters, panning outward until screen fades to black.]''
===Badlands===
:'''Rex:''' We're facing heavy resistance here! There are too many of them!
:''[Rex imitates gunfire]''
:'''Six:''' Keep this channel clear.
:'''Rex:''' Six, do you really expect us to get to back to Providence by one thousand eight hundred hours in this slowpoke convoy? Just get the cargo, will you? We'd be there by now.
:'''Six:''' Except we're transporting unstable nanites, which have to be kept at or below sea level. Even one wrong bump and the whole thing could go off.
:'''Rex:''' And if it blows, you're in a battle transport. Meanwhile, we're stuck in this delivery truck, carrying whatever. What are we carrying anyway?
:'''Bobo:''' Toilet paper.
:'''Six:''' One, everyone in this mission has a part to play.
:'''Rex:''' Seriously?! Toilet paper?!
:'''Six:''' And, two, we're under strict radio silence. Six out.
:'''Rex:''' Radio silence, convoy security protocols, scheduled bathroom breaks, and they won't even let me drive. So many rules all for what-- Some nanites?
:'''Noah:''' Unstable nanites-- The most dangerous nanites on Earth.
:'''Rex:''' Well, at least there's not an anti-tunes order!
:'''Noah:''' That radio's ancient. You'll be lucky if you can get it to play static.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, I think I can manage to crank some bass out of it.
:'''Noah:''' Not bad!
:'''Rex:''' What?!
:'''Noah:''' I said, "Not bad!"
:''[Bobo gasps]''
:''[Rex, Noah and Bobo coughing]''
:'''Noah:''' Bobo, slow down! We can't see anything!
:''[Bobo sputters]''
:'''Bobo:''' I got one good eye that's closed half the time, and now you're worried?!
:''[Rex, Noah and Bobo coughing]''
:'''Noah:''' And we lost the convoy.
:'''Bobo:''' Relax, blondie. We'll catch up. That's why they invented speeding.
:'''Gatlocke:''' ''[British accent]'' Good-- They're right on time. What do you think of the spyglass? Am I taking this pirate thing too far? I haven't become cliché, have I?
:'''Gang Punk:''' No, Gatlocke. It fits you.
:'''Gatlocke:''' Oh, good! Because if you'd said, "yes", I would have thrown you off the cliff.
:''[Gatlocke chuckles evilly]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' No, seriously, I would have. Ladies and gentlemen, the convoy is directly beneath us! Wait. Do we have any ladies in my gang? No ladies? We need to get with the times! Let's see about getting some ladies in the gang. Gentlemen, grab your weapons, charge up the scramblers, and attack!
:'''Providence Agent:''' They're jamming all channels. We're cut off, sir.
:'''Gatlocke:''' Ready the ion-cannon thingumabobs!
:'''Six:''' Fall back! Cover the cargo carriers!
:'''Rex:''' You know what this means, don't you?
:'''Noah:''' We're lost?
:'''Rex:''' No. It means no one is around to tell me I can't drive. Hand over the wheel, Bobo.
:'''Bobo:''' You can't drive!
:'''Noah:''' Radio's broken, so we can't even call for help.
:'''Rex:''' We don't need help. We're not lost. Men don't get lost. We go exploring. And why should you care if I drive? Unless you made some kind of deal with Six.
:'''Bobo:''' You'll have to ask my bank account.
:'''Six:''' Defend the cargo! Don't let them get to the trailers!
:''[Gatlocke humming]''
:''[Gatlocke humming continues]''
:''[Gatlocke grunts]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' As of this moment, the unstable nanites have officially been jacked.
:''[Gatlocke laughs evilly]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' ''[to Six]'' Give me a reason. Give me one good reason.
:''[Gatlocke laughs evilly]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' I'm only kidding! Like I need a reason.
:''[Shoots at Six]''
:'''Six:''' We'll regroup outside the canyon! Get us out of here now!
:'''Providence Agent:''' Sir, they got the cargo.
:'''Six:''' I'm aware the situation. Rex wasn't with the convoy when we we're attacked.
:'''Six:''' Fix the radio and find him. Off all the days to disobey orders.
:'''Rex:''' Pit stop successful!
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:''[Noah grunts]''
:'''Noah:''' This soda is expired.
:'''Rex:''' I know! They were practically giving it away!
:''[Bobo spits]''
:'''Bobo:''' Agh! This tastes like feet-- And not the clean kind!
:'''Rex:''' Fine-- More for me, then!
:'''Noah:''' By now, they must've noticed that you're gone.
:'''Rex:''' No one's going to miss a delivery truck. Hurry up!
:'''Noah:''' Go faster!
:'''Rex:''' Ladies, how's it going today? Yeah, we roll in a big truck. Other guys may flake on you, but me and Noah-- We deliever.
:''[girls laughs]''
:'''Rex:''' Bobo!
:''[Rex, Noah and Bobo shout]''
:'''Rex:''' I think we actually had a chance back there.
:'''Gatlocke:''' Gentlemen, congratulations on a job well done. Your commitment to... Oh, forget it. Open the truck!
:'''Beasly:''' Communications are still down, sir. We can send a cycle for help.
:'''Six:''' No. I want everything available searching the area.
:'''Beasly:''' For the attackers?
:'''Six:''' For Rex. He's not transporting what he thinks he is. Given the circumstances, he should probably know. Let's just hope he didn't get himself lost.
:'''Bobo:''' Okay... I think we might be lost.
:'''Rex:''' Whoa, whoa. Noah gets the wheel? What about me?
:'''Bobo:''' Think about it, soda jerk. My mouth still tastes like week-old socks. Plus, goldilocks has a license, and you don't. But mostly the soda thing.
:'''Noah:''' I think I know where we are.
:'''Rex:''' Don't sweat it. Who's gonna miss a truck full of toilet paper?
:'''Bobo:''' Hey, I've been there-- Ain't pretty.
:'''Gatlocke:''' ''[referring to toilet paper]'' Feel that? It's quilted. This is the good kind. But I won't be able to really enjoy it until I have those nanites!
:'''Gang Punk:''' Gatlocke, I found something.
:'''Gatlocke:''' Something is good.
:'''Gang Punk:''' Our scout took this image when the convoy left the proving grounds.
:'''Gatlocke:''' I like how he framed this shot. See the rock formations in the foreground here?
:'''Gang Punk:''' But this is from the canyon. Where'd the white delivery truck go?
:'''Gatlocke:''' Why are you asking me? I don't know where it went! Fan out! Dig around the desert! Find me that truck! And an Iced Tea!
:'''Rex:''' Noah, you've got to listen to me. Let... me... drive... the... truck!
:'''Noah:''' I don't know.
:'''Bobo:''' The answer is still no!
:'''Noah:''' All right, we're back! This is the right road.
:'''Rex:''' How can you tell? All the roads look the same out here.
:''[Noah gasps]''
:'''Gang Punk:''' Gatlocke, you're not gonna believe what I found.
:'''Noah:''' This canyon-- It'd be the perfect place to spring an ambush.
:'''Rex:''' The nanite transport is gone. Six, can your hear me? Six? Providence, come in.
:'''Six:''' Go ahead.
:'''Rex:''' Connect me to White. Now would be good.
:'''Noah:''' We're sitting ducks here.
:'''Bobo:''' Quack, quack.
:'''Rex:''' Um, I'll call you back.
:'''Gatlocke:''' Allow me to introduce myself! I'm Gatlocke-- Anarchist, struggling businessman, scoundrel. Okay, that's a lie. I'm not 'struggling'. But, lemme ask you! Do you like rules?
:'''Rex:''' Can't say I do.
:'''Gatlocke:''' Me neither. I hate them. It's why me and my men live by the anarchist code. For us, there are no rules.
:'''Gang Punk:''' Excepts no cursing.
:'''Gatlocke:''' ''[hits the Gang Punk]'' True! We're anarchists, not animals. You know what I'm talking about. I feel like we have a connection. We're practically friends! So, if you could do me a favor, it would help me out a lot.
:'''Rex:''' What kind of favor?
:'''Gatlocke:''' I need you to hand over the truck. I mean, I really need you to hand it over-- Now!
:'''Rex:''' This truck? It's not all that great. The radio doesn't work. It handles like a box on wheels. At least, I imagine it does, 'cause someone won't let me drive.
:'''Gatlocke:''' ''[pulls out a knife]'' Please don't play dumb with me.
:'''Rex:''' Dumb? Oh, see, dumb is pulling a blade on me!
:''[Rex pulls out his Smack Hands]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' Ooh, I like this kid.
:''[Rex growls]''
:'''Rex:''' Get back to the truck!
:''[Rex and his friends run away]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' I have a bad case of EVO envy.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Noah:''' You're risking our lives to save a stupid truck?
:'''Rex:''' It's the principle!
:''[Rex, Noah and Bobo screams]''
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! They really want that toilet paper!
:'''Bobo:''' They didn't exactly look like poster boys for good hygiene!
:'''Noah:''' Are you sure that's even what we're carrying? I mean, did anyone actually bother to check?
:'''Bobo:''' Don't bother me with the details.
:'''Noah:''' That's definitely not T.P.
:'''Rex:''' We were carrying unstable nanites the whole time.
:'''Bobo:''' We should be fine as long as none of the warning lights are on.
:'''Noah:''' You mean all the red, blinky ones?
:'''Bobo:''' Aw, boy.
:'''Rex:''' Giving us the nanites? What was Six thinking?
:'''Bobo:''' He was thinking that if the convoy was to get attacked, we're better to have the cargo than with you?
:'''Rex:''' Could've at least told us we were carrying something that could blow up.
:'''Noah:''' Whoa!
:'''Rex:''' Glad I'm not driving.
:'''Six:''' We have ten more minutes till Providence starts missing us. When we don't check in, they'll send jets, and coming in blind, there's a good chance we'll get shot down like ours did.
:'''Beasly:''' We're working as fast as we can, sir. Whatever they use completely fried the relays.
:'''Six:''' Then we'll need another option.
:'''Beasly:''' Well, there is one possibility, but it's a little old-fashioned.
:'''Rex:''' Let me take the nanites and zoom out of here.
:'''Noah:''' Didn't you hear Six? They can't go above sea level. One long bump will make them go off.
:'''Bobo:''' Kid's right. They're safer in the isolator back there.
:'''Rex:''' All right, fine. Then we'll just deal with the roadhogs ourselves.
:'''Noah:''' So... Any idea on that?
:'''Bobo:''' I vote "Try not to die."
:''[Gatlocke laughs evilly]''
:'''Rex:''' Look on the bright side-- The unstable nanites didn't go off.
:'''Gatlocke:''' That's what I love-- An optimist! ''[Hugs Rex]'' I love this kid!
:'''Rex:''' You're insane. Do you realize that?
:'''Gatlocke:''' Me, Gatlocke, insane? Frankly, I don't see it. Just let me have 'em. I'll split the money with you down the middle, 50/40?
:'''Rex:''' Wow, after all that, you're nothing but a common thief.
:'''Gatlocke:''' "Common"? "Common"?! Tear open the truck!
:'''Gang Punk:''' It's no here. Ugh!
:'''Noah:''' That was some escape plan.
:'''Rex:''' It was one of my plans. I have a couple different angles I'm working.
:'''Noah:''' What's your "angle" now?
:'''Rex:''' I've got the unstable nanites right here!
:'''Bobo:''' Ah, this is an improvement.
:'''Rex:''' ''[holding up a can]'' Back off, or I'll send us all to kingdom come!
:'''Gatlocke:''' You wouldn't dare.
:'''Rex:''' Or would I? You say we're a lot alike.
:'''Gatlocke:''' You would.
:'''Rex:''' Unh!
:''[Gatlocke and Gang Punks screams]''
:'''Rex:''' Aw. Quit while you're behind, Gatlocke.
:''[Gatlocke growls]''
:''[Gatlocke growls]''
:'''Rex:''' We're clear. Now, aren't you glad about the soda? Bobo, take the nanites. I'll keep them off your tail.
:'''Gatlocke:''' You should've taken the deal.
:'''Rex:''' You couldn't afford me.
:'''Gatlocke:''' You know what your problem is? You're a terrible businessman.
:''[Gatlocke growls]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' Ooh, I like that.
:''[Gatlocke grunts]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' Hey! Dude.
:'''Noah:''' I'll radio. Hello? Can anyone hear me? We need a little help here! Anyone?
:'''Bobo:''' ''[taking the communicator from Noah]'' Gimme that! Breaker 1-9, good neighbor. This is Bobo Haha, droppin' the hammer in a superskate. We got bumper stickers on our donkey. Repeat-- Bumper sticker on our donkey! Come on back.
:'''Noah:''' Oh, like that helps. Is that even English?
:''[Gatlocke grunting]''
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' Don't suppose I could convince you to join me! You could live the life-- No one telling you what to do.
:'''Rex:''' Can you just shut up for longer than a second?
:'''Gatlocke:''' How long was that?
:''[Gatlocke laughs]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' You can pretend to be better, but in the end, you're just like me!
:'''Rex:''' Ugh! There's one big difference between you and me!
:'''Gatlocke:''' And that is?
:'''Rex:''' You can't fly.
:''[The truck goes over a cliff]''
:'''Gang Punk:''' Hmm? Aah!
:''[Noah gasps]''
:'''Six:''' We intercepted your transmission on the citizens' band.
:'''Bobo:''' See, I told ya.
:'''Six:''' Where are the nanites?
:'''Noah:''' We thought for sure it was gonna go off.
:'''Six:''' It went off.
:'''Rex:''' But you said one wrong bump and it would blow up.
:'''Six:''' I said one wrong bump and it would "go off," as in "deactivate." They call them "unstable" for a reason. If it was going to blow up, I would've said so. At least you kept it from falling into the wrong hands.
:'''Gatlocke:''' "The wrong hands," he says. I'm in a terrible rush. The nanites, pretty please.
:'''Rex:''' All yours. They're worthless.
:''[Gatlocke growls]''
:'''Gatlocke:''' Let's call it a tie. We can finish our conversation later.
:'''Six:''' White Knight will want you back at headquarters for debriefing.
:'''Rex:''' Aren't you going to give us a lift?
:'''Six:''' Drive yourself.
:'''Noah:''' I hate it when Six tries to be funny.
:'''Bobo:''' The monkey should be driving.
:'''Rex:''' You know, now that I'm doing the driving, this truck ain't so bad.
:'''Noah:''' Which way?
:'''Bobo:''' They went that way, back to headquarters.
:'''Noah:''' You're gonna get us lost.
:'''Rex:''' Men don't get lost. We go... Exploring.
===Out of the Dark===
:''Note'': Rex's love interest and sweetheart Circe appears in a vision.
===Payback===
:''[In the realm of Abysus]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Humiliated... De-powered... All but destroyed. Hardly the new world I set out to build, is it?
:'''Biowulf:''' Master, a spy has made contact.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Well?
:'''Providence Spy:''' Everything is in place.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' And the boy?
:'''Providence Spy:''' He's here.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' ''[to his loyal followers]'' Soon our greatest enemy will be buried! Providence itself will be destroyed. And we'll have Rex to thank.
:'''Rex:''' Come on! Who's gonna know?
:'''Noah:''' Yeah. It would only be for a minute or two.
:'''Calan:''' You actually want me to let you fly the keep?
:''[Calan sighs]''
:'''Calan:''' Only until the next course change. And nothing fancy.
:'''Rex:''' All right, let's see what this baby can really do! Why, it wasn't me! Seriously!
:'''Both:''' Whoa!
:'''Providence Spies:''' Aah!
:'''White Knight:''' Calan, what's your status?
:'''Calan:''' Came from out of nowhere. We're being boarded. Scramble all jump jets. Mobilize for a counter-offensive.
:'''White Knight:''' This is a coordinated attack. Every major Providence outpost around the globe has been hit.
:'''Six:''' So far they've steered clear of headquarters. I'm on route to the keep now.
:'''Rex:''' Are they really that stupid? Attacking the keep with me on board? This should only take a minute.
:'''Noah:''' Wait up!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Find Rex. It goes without saying "alive" would be ideal. Take the ship.
:'''Providence Spy:''' Some kind of power surge. We're losing control of the helm!
:'''Calan:''' Find out where it's coming from. Doc, if you'll excuse me--
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six?
:'''Six:''' Five minutes out. Prepare for an evac. I'm getting you off the ship.
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Noah:''' Again with the Smack Hands? You always open with that move. Change it up a little!
:'''Both:''' Whoa!
:'''Bobo:''' You see what you get? That's what happens when you interrupt my nap-- Bobo gets cranky!
:'''Rex:''' I learned that the hard way, too.
:'''Calan:''' All hands-- We've got intruders on deck four, five, and six. Get'em off our ship!
:'''Rex:''' Go!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Attention, Providence. The ship is ours.
:'''Rex:''' Ugh! Not even close, Van Kleiss!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Lay down your weapons, and your lives will be spared. Continue to resist and nothing survives.
:'''Rex:''' You've made I made some lame-o moves before, Van Kleiss, but this one-- classic.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Seems you may have run out of tricks. Oh, you had to know it would only be a matter of time. I've had a fair amount of time on my hands these days. ''[Restrains Rex with his gauntlet]''
:'''Rex:''' Aaaaah!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You took something very precious from me, Rex, and now I'll be returning the favor.
:'''Rex:''' If you want my monkey, you can forget it.
:''[Van Kleiss starts draining nanites from Rex, causing him to squirm and scream in pain.]''
:''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' It might come as a surprise that when you stole the nanites that gave my power, you left some of your behind-- Enough to tell me a few of what makes you tick.
:''[Rex tries to summon a build, but nothing happens.]''
:'''Rex:''' Ungh!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:''[Rex gasps]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You'll find that using your powers will be something of a challenge. The nanites that you so special belong to me now.
:'''Biowulf:''' What shall I do with him, master?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I have everything I need from him. I could care less. Secure the rest of the ship.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Come on! Do you really think throwing me out that hatch is the best way to get rid of me? Wouldn't it be more fun to throw me in a cage, tie me down in front of a laser?
:'''Biowulf:''' No!
:'''Rex:''' Aaaaaaaah! Wh-o-o-o-o-oa!
:'''Noah:''' What is he doing?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' This is no time to fool around, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' Happened to notice that ground coming up on his, doc? If you don't do something fast, I'm about to become part of it! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Ugh!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, are you okay?
:'''Rex:''' I think we may have a problem.
:'''White Knight:''' What do you mean "they have the keep"?! Blow it up!
:'''Six:''' We tried. The remote-destruct sequence has been disabled. Van Kleiss has complete control of it.
:'''White Knight:''' Give me some good news.
:'''Six:''' We know where it's heading. Here.
:'''Biowulf:''' This is the commanding officer. We found him attempting to destroy this ship.
:'''Calan:''' What's your game, Van Kleiss?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, a very good question-- One that depends entirely on what happens next, Captain. It seems my powers have made a slight... change.
:'''Rex:''' Well? They're gone, aren't they? Van Kleiss took all my active nanites.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not exactly. I found this. Definitely a nanite, but it's unlike anything I've ever seen. Molecular scans seems to indicate it's some kind of control-nanite.
:'''Rex:''' But with nothing to control.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' With a large enough concentration of nanites, we might be able to jump-start it. But even with that, there's no guarantee it would replicate or even give you back the same abilities.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I hate to say it, but this one has me stumped.
:'''Rex:''' Great. Loving this.
:'''White Knight:''' If you're finished with the lost cause, we've got a bigger problem.
:'''Biowulf:''' Master, how is this possible?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' It would seem Rex's nanites have an opposite effect on me. He cured EVOs. Now I create them. Full ahead-- Ramming speed! Once we're through, we'll destroy Providence from the inside out.
:'''White Knight:''' Lock it down! I want hallways cleared and critical sections defended. They will not take this base.
:'''Rex:''' Well? What are we waiting for? Let's go stop them!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, you're in no condition to fight.
:'''Rex:''' Well, what do you expect me to do-- Hide?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Whatever it takes. That nanite inside you might be able to bring you back, but it's going to take me time to figure out how. And that's not something we have a lot of right now.
:'''Rex:''' Wow. Nice outfit.
:'''Noah:''' Got one for you, too. You get to armor up like the rest of us normals.
:'''Rex:''' Come on.
:'''Bobo:''' All right, where to?
:'''Rex:''' South Pacific.
:'''Bobo:''' That's my boy. And here I thought you'd try to pull some hero stunt. Oh, brother.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I want the White Knight. Find where he's hiding and bring him to me.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' That should be everything, as long as the offsite backup holds.
:'''Six:''' Don't let it get to that.
:'''Noah:''' This is a strange place for a base.
:'''Rex:''' When I have too many nanites in me, this is where I go to offload.
:'''Bobo:''' Think of it as a nanite porta-potty.
:'''Noah:''' Thanks... For that image, Bobo. So, we just put some of these nanites in you, and we're good to go?
:'''Rex:''' No. They're inactive. Or at least stripped of their programming. Since I can't control them, I just have to hope that whatever this thing is inside me can't.
:'''Noah:''' So... What happens if it can't?
:'''Bobo:''' Let me put it this way-- The last guy who went swimmin' in that soup ended up a 50-foot freak show.
:'''White Knight:''' Listen to me carrefully, Van Kleiss.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I'd rather not.
:'''White Knight:''' Where are they?
:'''Six:''' The inner perimeter has been compromised. They're coming.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Ugh! Ungh!
:''[Skalamander roars]''
:''[Skalamander roars]''
:'''Biowulf:''' Open it.
:'''Rex:''' Okay. Bobo, set the thing to "vent" and go. If this doesn't work, I don't want you getting caught in the blast.
:'''Bobo:''' No.
:'''Noah:''' Forget it. Rex, at least think about his for a sec. What if it wipes your memory? What it turns you into some evil monster?
:'''Rex:''' My friends need me. There's nothing more to think about. Bobo, do it.
:'''Bobo:''' Long odds, pay big.
:''[Bobo groans]''
:'''Six:''' You've overstayed your welcome.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, here's someone who would make a nice addition to our EVO ranks.
:'''Six:''' Go ahead and try. Ugh!
:''[Six groans]''
:'''Rex:''' Trying to do my job for me, Six? Here's a thought-- When your top henchman can't even get rid of someone by throwing him out of a moving plane, time to rethink the help.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You are determined-- I'll give you that. If it's what you prefer, I'll finish you myself.
:'''Rex:''' Maybe.
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh!
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! Cool!
:'''Bobo:''' See? I told you it would work.
:'''Six:''' This is an unexpected surprise.
:'''Rex:''' Well, by now, you should expect the unexpected from me, Six.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Ungh!
:''[Skalamander roars]''
:''[Dr. Holiday grunts]''
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Noah:''' Is that what I think it is?
:'''Bobo:''' Not anymore.
:'''Noah:''' You think there might be more of them?
:'''Bobo:''' Eh... Probably.
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:''[Biowulf growls]''
:'''Biowulf:''' Aaaaaaah!
:'''White Knight:''' I use that electromagnet to trap stray nanites. You're lucky it's on the lowest setting. Any higher, and it would rip the nanites right out of your body.
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:'''Biowulf:''' Then why don't you?
:'''White Knight:''' Because then I wouldn't be able to do this.
:'''Skalamander:''' No one can help you. You're all alone now.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not exactly. We still have my sister.
:''[Skalamander grunting]''
:''[Rex and Van Kleiss grunts]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Aaaaah!
:'''Rex:''' No way!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Ungh!
:'''Rex:''' Once again, epic fail. I'll take my nanites back now.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh!
:'''Noah:''' Rex, wait!
:'''Bobo:''' Van Kleiss left behind a few presents.
:'''Rex:''' No time to look everywhere. I'm shutting everything down.
:'''Noah:''' You can do that?
:'''Rex:''' Don't know. Never tried. Anything else? No?
:'''Calan:''' Whew! I never want to do that again. No, sir.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Amazing.
:'''Rex:''' Why, thank you.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I was talking about the nanites. That was a risky move, Rex, but it worked. As far as I can tell, you're back to your old self.
:'''Rex:''' I don't know. Something feels different. That new build-- I think I can do even more. It's like I can see the blueprints. I just need to figure out how to put it all together.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' White Knight in person. Never thought I'd see the day.
:'''White Knight:''' Well, don't get used to it. We found all the explosives. The base and the keep will need extensive repairs. This was not our finest hour.
:'''Rex:''' What are you talking about? We kicked butt! So what if Van Kleiss is back and more powerful than ever? So am I! If he wants a nanite war, let him bring it!
:''[White Knight laughs]''
:'''White Knight:''' It's good to have your back, Rex.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' You know, I think he actually means it.
:'''Rex:''' Sure he does. So, tell me something, guys-- What's next?
==Season Two (2011)==
===Rampage===
:'''Rex:''' I'll give you the recap. Thanks to these microscopic machines called nanites, I can build cool gear out of my body. I'm what's called an EVO. But most EVOs aren't lucky like me. They usually look like this. ''[Chuckling]'' I know what you're thinking. And they smell bad, too. There's one other thing I can do that makes me even more special. Some EVOs, I can cure. That's why I work for Providence. We're the people you call when an evo is tearing up your lawn or attacking a city. And the worst of them is this guy-- Van Kleiss. The last time we fought, things got a little out of hand. I'll admit it-- We pretty much got our tails handed to us. He steals the key, wrecks headquarters, hijacks my nanite to get back the powers I took away from him. And now he can actually make people into EVOs. Then, to top it off, he has his dog boy Biowulf throw me, overboard at 6,000 feet. Not that anyone's keeping score. Sure, Van Kleiss may be back, but so am I. So what if he can make EVOs? I can still cure them. He may have new powers, but guess what-- I do, too. Ever since my powers came back, I've got the ability to make amazing new machines. Now I just have to figure out how to build more. If you're trying to check up on me, Six, the answer's still a big fat... ''[imitates buzzer]'' I can't figure out how to make this new build.
:'''Six:''' It might take some time, but you'll get it.
:'''Rex:''' And meanwhile, Van Kleiss is out there doing who knows what. I wish they'd hurry up and get the H.Q. Rebuilt. You're not still living out of your jump jet like some ninja hobo, are you?
:'''Six:''' My temporary accommodations are perfectly adequate.
:'''Rex:''' Yep. Still living in the jet.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' I hate being kicked out of our house. Although, as long as they're building stuff, I need a hot tub.
:''[Carmen gasps]''
:'''Carmen:''' Madre! Estas viva! Como puede ser?
:'''Carmen's mother:''' No querida. Soy la prima gemela diabolica de tu madre.
:'''Noah:''' What are you watching?
:'''Rex:''' Cultural enrichment! Later on, we find out if Dr. Suarez chooses Isabel, or her evil half sister, Ana Maria.
:'''Carmen:''' Pero, como va supremivir esto nuesta familia.
:'''Carmen's mother:''' Con mucho dolor, vengaza y arrepentimiento.
:'''Noah:''' If you're gonna stay with me while they're rebuilding Providence, at least don't flaunt the fact that you don't have a pre-calculus test in three days.
:'''Rex:''' Pre-wha?
:'''Noah:''' Exactly my point. And when I agreed to this, I wasn't expecting the sidekick, too.
:'''Bobo:''' Hey, pally, we're a package deal. Live with it.
:''[Noah gasps]''
:'''Noah:''' Was that a toenail? Can I just get hit by a toenail?!
:'''Rex:''' What's your deal?
:'''Noah:''' Aah! Get one in my mouth! Ugh!
:'''Rex:''' Okay, that is gross. Bobo, bad monkey. I thought this would be fun.
:''[Noah scoffs]''
:'''Noah:''' For you, maybe. I'll get a real life, too, you know. As much as I want it to be, it can't be all fun and games all the time, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' Why not? Worse for me.
:'''Noah:''' Hey, I like adventure as much as the next guy, but I still have to pass math.
:'''Rex:''' You're not going to fail math. You have like the fourth highest GPA in your class.
:'''Noah:''' It used to be third.
:'''Rex:''' And ten years from now, nobody's going to care. Hey doc, miss me? Huh? Oh. A situation. Really? Awesome! Nope. I'm not doing anything. Be right there. I'm gonna go pound some EVO into submission. Wanna come?
:'''Noah:''' You're serious?
:'''Rex:''' No. That would be you. Have fun with that math.
:'''Noah:''' Save the world or a chance at a scholarship? All right! I'm coming!
:'''Rex:''' Now see? It's a lot more fun when you just let go.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Can you hold that thing still?
:'''Rex:''' Dibs! That's a whole lot of agents for one EVO, doc.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' They weren't here for the EVO. That ship is carrying the new power core for Providence headquarters. This thing just happened to show up when we started to offload it.
:''[Dr. Holiday grunting]''
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' Wh-o-o-o-oa!
:''[Rex straining]''
:'''Rex:''' Van Kleiss!
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' Did you see the mark? Van Kleiss made that one.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Why else do you think I've been trying to get a sample from it?
:'''Rex:''' I don't know-- Just being science-y? Ugh!
:'''Bobo and Noah:''' Yeah!
:'''Rex:''' Does that work for you?
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It'll do. Got it. We can cure it now.
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! Aah!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Chuckling]'' Unless you like getting thrown around like that.
:'''Noah:''' No hurry. This is great.
:'''Bobo and Noah:''' Ew!
:''[Dock worker grunts]''
:'''Dock worker:''' What hit me?
:'''Rex:''' That would be me.
:'''Six:''' You work here?
:'''Dock worker:''' What do you think, mister? Ahh, my back.
:'''Rex:''' Yep. Sorry. Was trying, you know, not to die. If he works at the dock, that must mean Van Kleiss was here.
:'''Noah:''' Actually, I think he still is.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' They're after the power core.
:'''Rex:''' All this for a battery?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not just a battery. It could fuel a country the size of Abysus for a decade.
:'''Rex:''' And it was going to be underneath my room?! Excuse me. Out of the way! Coming through! I was wondering when you and your hair would show up again, Van Kleiss.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Back to your old self again, I see. And how are those new abilities developing?
:'''Rex:''' Just fine. Thanks for asking. Here's what I bet you're thinking, "did we really think this plan through? Was using some poor dude as a decoy the best move?"
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I suppose only time will tell. Not as strong as you thought.
:'''Rex:''' Not yet. That time I really thought I had it, okay? Ohh!
:'''Noah:''' How awesome was that?
:'''Rex:''' What part-- You clobbering Van Kleiss or Van Kleiss clobbering me?
:'''Noah:''' Well, both, actually.
:'''Rex:''' Hold on. I need a second to think of a really good dig.
:''[Van Kleiss chuckles]''
:'''Rex:''' Why are you smiling? We just owned you. It's over, Van Kleiss. You lose!
:'''Noah:''' That was the best you could come up with. "You lose"?
:'''Rex:''' That one didn't count. He caught me off guard with the whole smiling thing, okay?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You'd be wise to consider delaying your celebration for the moment, Rex. You're about to have your hands quite full.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, really? And how do you figure that?
:'''Noah:''' Aah!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Here's the part where you must be thinking, "did I think this plan through?"
:'''Rex:''' Noah!
:''[Noah growls]''
:'''Rex:''' Are you nuts?! Stop it!
:'''Six:''' Stand down!
:'''Rex:''' Take it easy, Noah. You're going to be okay. This will all be over in a second. Great. Just great.
:'''Six:''' Go!
:'''Rex:''' Noah, if you can still understand me, when I said you should let things go, this isn't exactly what I meant.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' Headache. It should be about balance, you know? Take care of the important stuff, but leave room for a little fun. Right now! Too much fun!
:''[Rex screaming]''
:'''Rex:''' Wh-o-o-o-oa! Everything's fine. Not a problem.
:'''Six:''' If you can't stop him, it's going to be.
:'''Rex:''' You know, Six, you really need to learn to think positive.
:''[Diane Farrah and Reporter gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' Stupid grin. It's like it's all just a game to him.
:'''Determined grandmother:''' I know you!
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, uh, thanks, but--
:'''Determined grandmother:''' You're that "tex" kid from Providence.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, Rex. Ma'am, this really isn't--
:'''Determined grandmother:''' I have a bone to pick with Providence. Do you realize how awful it's been?
:''[Rex chuckles]''
:'''Rex:''' Funny story, he's actually my friend, so as soon as I can catch him--
:'''Determined grandmother:''' Every single night, someone moves my glasses. I leave them on the nightstand, and when I wake up, they're on the dresser!
:'''Rex:''' Glasses?
:'''Determined grandmother:''' There's got to be an EVO in my house. Some of them only come out at night, you know.
:'''Rex:''' Uh-huh.
:'''Determined grandmother:''' Now, I keep calling you people, but no one will give me the time of day over there. So, you tell me-- How am I supposed to feel safe when there is an EVO in my apartment?!
:'''Rex:''' Here. First number on speed dial.
:'''Determined grandmother:''' He's eating the cat food, too!
:'''Bobo:''' That friend of yours is a walking disaster. I'm starting to like the kid.
:'''Six:''' We'll get this. Go.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, can you hear me?
:'''Rex:''' A little busy right now, doc.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Then I'll make it quick. The active nanites Van Kleiss create are highly unstable. If Noah isn't cured soon, his condition will be permanent.
:'''Rex:''' How long do I have?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's probably different for each infected person, but I calculate less than an hour.
:'''Rex:''' Noah, you have to listen to me. If I don't change you back, this is not going to turn out well. Please. Let me help you. No! No! Thanks a lot, guys!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Noah, I'm serious! Stop playing around!
:''[Rex screams]''
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' This isn't a game, Noah! Huh. Maybe it should be. Okay, Noah. I give up! You're it! Better not be another train. All right!
:''[Noah roaring]''
:'''Rex:''' Aw, no.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' Well, what do you know? I'm "it" again.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, any luck?
:'''Rex:''' Yep. I got him. Stand by. This isn't going to hurt. I promise.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex?
:'''Rex:''' I'm too late. I don't believe this. My best friend's an EVO forever-- And not even a cool EVO. He's the annoying, breaks-stuff kind.
:''[Noah belches]''
:'''Rex:''' Ugh!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Actually, Rex, it might not be Noah. Your biometrics have flat-lined.
:'''Rex:''' All that running around. He just wore me out. Did you hear that? It's me, not you.
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' Just give me a minute.
:''[Noah roaring]''
:'''Rex:''' Noah, don't even-- No, no, no, no, no. No! No! I don't believe this. You really need a hobby, Van Kleiss.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I thought we could settle things without distraction. Here is as good a place as any.
:'''Rex:''' I already kicked your butt once today. Ready to go again?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' The question is, are you? It's hardly a fair fight.
:'''Rex:''' Oh. Then I promised to go easy on you. What? You think I don't have my powers or something? I'm about to give you the pounding of the century! Come on, powers. Please come back! Don't you have anything better to do with your life than come after me all the time?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Funny you should ask.
:'''Rex:''' Doc? How are those biometrics looking now?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Give it a try.
:'''Rex:''' Ah, yeah! It's about time! Machines work. I just hope the important part does.
:'''Noah:''' What just happened?
:'''Rex:''' Do you remember anything?
:'''Noah:''' It all kind of hazy. I mostly remember the feeling of... Fun. And I remember you punching me in the face.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah. Sorry about that. I thought you were trying to eat me. Come on. We've got a rat to catch. Why so happy? Is this the part where breach shows up and rescues you?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Actually, no. This is the part where she takes your inadequately guarded fuel core.
:'''Six:''' Six to post, what's your status? Six to post.
:'''Rex:''' Another decoy?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I should share some of the credit with your friend over here. He played the part to perfection.
:'''Noah:''' Gee, thanks.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, this would be the part where Breach shows up.
:'''Noah:''' I can't believe I did all this. Sounds like I had the time of my life.
:'''Rex:''' ''[laughing]'' It almost became your life. Sorry about that.
:'''Noah:''' Are you kidding? Just knowing I was a rampaging EVO is cool. I wish I could have remembered at least some of it.
:'''Rex:''' It's probably all over the news if you want a replay... At least until you stepped on the news van.
:'''Noah:''' Well... ''[Exhales sharply]'' Guess it's back to quadratic equations.
:'''Rex:''' I have no idea what those are. I've got somewhere I need to be. See you later. I know. I'm not supposed to be here. I don't care if it's a construction zone. I'm moving back.
:'''Six:''' It's all right. Turns out you're not the only one who feels that way. You'll get used to the cold showers. Food, you're on your own. From the top?
:'''Rex:''' From the top.
:'''Six:''' What were you trying to build, anyway?
:'''Rex:''' A water jet. Oh, by the way, I need a new cellphone.
:'''Six:''' Yes?
:'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' It's after my glasses again.
:'''Six:''' Glasses?
:'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' This time I am serious. Now, when are you going to send someone out here?
:'''Six:''' Ma'am, I'm...
:'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' Do you even work for Providence?
:'''Six:''' Yes, I work for Providence.
:'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' What kind of a flimflam outfit is this?
:'''Six:''' How did you get this number?
===Wasteland===
===Tough Love===
===The Lost Weekend===
:'''Kenwyn:''' What did you to Skwydd?
:'''Mouse:''' Just shedding a light light on how dangerous his kind can be.
:'''Rex:''' By juicing his powers? What were you thinking?
:'''Mouse:''' Most inorganic material explodes when given that kind of molecular jolt, but not not nanites. They convert the energy into power that amplifies an E.V.O.'s abilities to tremendously uncontrollable levels.
===Star-Crossed===
===Alliance===
:'''Rex:''' The ends of the earth lie a place so deadly, it was sealed forever from the outside world. Welcome... to the Bug Jar... Where monstrous creatures roam free... Where a faithless ruler seeks to escape to inflict his wrath upon humanity. But now, the Great Barrier is on the verge of failure... And the hope of all mankind lies in the bravest, most capable hands. And, uh, speaking of hands, you have four. Think you could lend one?
:'''Bobo:''' Whoops.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Guys, what's the status of the shield?
:'''Rex:''' The power regulator is completely trashed, doc. I'll need to control it manually until I can get it started. Mm. Kind of ripe in here.
:'''Bobo:''' That little back door there?
:''[Bobo clears throat]''
:'''Bobo:''' Not the bathroom. More Bug Jar, buddies. I got the last one.
:'''Rex:''' ''[Sighs]'' Fine. Hold this. And whatever you do, do not let go.
:'''Bobo:''' Or what?
:'''Rex:''' Kaboom!
:'''Bobo:''' He will pay.
:'''Rex:''' Okay, little wormie, come to papa. Whoa. Yet even in this forsaken place, our hero runs afoul of his evil nemesis... Van Kleiss. Activating stealth suit. Looks like Van Kleiss decided to crash the party.
:'''Bobo:''' Just like that guy knocked the phone ahead.
:'''Rex:''' ''[to himself]'' And he brought his Pack flunkies. Biowulf, Skalamander, Breach. Circe? Gotta hurry. Their headed straight for-- Someplace else. Gonna find out where.
:'''Bobo:''' No way. You're not leaving me here with your--
:'''Rex:''' Sorry. Another call.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, why aren't you fixing that shield regulator?
:'''Rex:''' Hint-- You may remember him from such schemes as destroying Providence headquarters, and trying to take over the entire Earth.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Van Kleiss, in there? You're right. You should investigate, after you fix the shield.
:'''Rex:''' Then it might be too late.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' She's there, isn't she?
:'''Rex:''' Who, Breach? Yeah, but--
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' A quick recon, and that's it. I'll try to buy some time at this end. And I want regular check-ins.
:'''Rex:''' Yep, got it.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Intriguing. An entire divergent branch of EVO development.
:'''Biowulf:''' This place is a waste of our time.
:'''Circe:''' Van Kleiss knows what he's doing. It's not your place to question.
:'''Biowulf:''' Question?! You dare accuse me of disloyalty?! Hmm.
:'''Circe:''' Sorry. Get a grip.
:'''Rex:''' With no care for his own safety, our brave hero tails his quarry into the very lion's den. Unknown to the villain, he'll be meddling in forces he can't possibly control.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Circe, if you would?
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:'''NoFace:''' Intruders!
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:''[Skalamander grunts]''
:'''NoFace:''' Who are you?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Someone in a position to help you.
:'''NoFace:''' Follow.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Breach, with me. The rest of you, remain here.
:'''Biowulf:''' Master, my place is at your side.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I want no interruptions, Biowulf. Is that clear?
:'''Rex:''' Okay, folks, here's the 4-1-1. VK, NoFace-- Getting cozy. Gonna try to bust it up. That's all I got for now. Over and out.
:'''Bobo:''' Oh, don't you dare hang up! I'm a feeling a cramp coming on!
:'''Circe:''' You're right, you know. We should be down there with him. What is he up to, anyway?
:'''Biowulf:''' I... do not know.
:'''Circe:''' You don't know? I thought he trusted you with everything.
:'''Biowulf:''' Of course he does! He just--
:'''Rex:''' Hey! Easy on the stealth suit, which apparently, isn't so stealthy.
:'''Circe:''' Rex?
:'''Skalamander:''' Providence Spy!
:'''Rex:''' Right! Man, got it in one! Yep, we heard V.K. was looking for a new second-in-command.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Biowulf:''' What?!
:'''Rex:''' True story. Got it straight from intel. Not surprised, really. That NoFace is one bad dude. Guess Bio-Whelp here ain't cutting it these days.
:''[Biowulf roars]''
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:''[Skalamander grunts]''
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:'''Circe:''' Aah!
:'''Rex:''' Seen it before. First they keep you out of meetings.
:''[Skalamander grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Then the boss chews you out for trying to do your job. Next thing you know, you're taking orders from the new guy, and you're just another hench like Skalamander.
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:''[Biowulf growls]''
:'''Rex:''' Here comes the moment when our brave hero sweeps the girl of her feet!
:'''Biowulf:''' Don't let him.
:'''Rex:''' Literally!
:'''Circe:''' Hey! Let--
:'''Rex:''' ''[flies off with Circe in his arms]'' See you around, henchie!
:'''Biowulf:''' ''[to Skalamander]'' Follow them!
:'''Circe:''' Down! Now!
:'''Rex:''' Not till we hear each other out!
:'''Circe:''' Sure. I'll go first.
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:''[Breaks the Bogie Pack with a hypersonic burst, causing them to fall]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah! Oh, great! Way to go, Circe!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Any word from Rex?
:'''Bobo:''' He ain't back, and I'm still holding the bag. Hold on. Rex? That you, pal? Hidin' in plain sight. I hate this place.
:'''NoFace:''' Invaders have come before. They brought only pain.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' It is a pain we both share. The same Providence outsides attacked my lands, destroyed my army.
:'''NoFace:''' There was one who tormented us-- Humiliated us. The grower of machines.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Ah, Rex. Another thorn we share. My proposal is simple. You control a formidable legion. I, in turn, can provide the escape and the vengeance you seek. I can be your liberator. You can be my general. Together, we will crush our enemies, starting with the one you hate most. Now, then, are we--
:'''Biowulf:''' Master, I have a report.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' ''[Irritated]'' This is a private conversation. Can't you handle the slightest detail without bothering me?
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:'''Biowulf:''' Of course, master. It was nothing.
:''[Circe grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Whoa!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah! Ouch!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' ''[to himself]'' Our hero pursues the girl of his dreams, heedless of her attempts to break his heart.
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Along with the rest of him. Circe! Just give me one minute, okay? Look, no powers.
:'''Circe:''' One minute. But if this is about leaving the Pack--
:'''Rex:''' Please. I'm way past that. There are bigger things going on here than who you hang out with.
:'''Circe:''' Fifty seconds.
:'''Rex:''' I wasn't sent here to spy on you. I'm here to stop these things from ever getting out.
:'''Circe:''' Forty. Why are you telling me this? You know who I am.
:'''Rex:''' You've seen the things that live here. Whatever deal you think Van Kleiss is making, it's going to turn out bad for everyone.
:'''Circe:''' Thirty seconds.
:'''Rex:''' I do know who you are, Circe. Just once think for yourself! Maybe your perfect leader could actually be wrong, maybe even a bit crazy. Nuts! Certifiably insane!
:'''Circe:''' Shut up!
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:'''Circe:''' Twenty. Talk about blinded. Did you ever wonder why Van Kleiss is so interested in you?
:'''Rex:''' Oh, I don't know. Maybe he wants me dead?
:'''Circe:''' Not anymore. Something has changed, Rex. Ever since you got your powers back, I hear him talking. Says you have something that's the key to everything. For whatever reason, he needs you alive. I know it, Rex. He'd never let you be killed.
:'''Rex:''' Never, huh?
:'''Circe:''' Time's up.
:''[Circe grunts]''
:'''NoFace:''' Enough talk! Free us!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You understand I need certain... assurances.
:'''NoFace:''' Assurances? Explain.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' If I free you, will you trust in my leadership and mine alone?
:'''NoFace:''' Leadership must be proven. Show us you can defeat our enemies.
:'''Rex:''' Now, this looks like a party.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Rex. You never cease to amaze me.
:'''No-Face:''' Defiler! Give it to us!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Now do you believe I can deliver what I say? Will you agree to my leadership?
:'''NoFace:''' We agree to it! Give him to us! Now! Now! Now!
:'''Circe:''' ''[very shocked]'' Van Kleiss, I didn't bring Rex here so you could-- He'll kill him!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Never forget how I found you, Circe. What you were... before. He's yours.
:''[Tears well up in Circe's eyes; thoroughly horrified that her master would calmly allow Rex's life to be put at risk]''
:'''NoFace:''' You! Bring him to the vestibule!
:'''Rex:''' You have your orders!
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:'''Biowulf:''' I'm going to enjoy this.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' You were supposed to finish me off. Now you just get to watch with the other hench bags. Surrounded by the jeering throng, the hero faces certain doom. The heartbreaker looks on. When it's over, she'll regret shunning his advances.
:'''NoFace:''' Now you feel... my pain!
:'''Rex:''' First, a few ground rules. Nothing below the belt, and I have a date on Friday, so easy on the face.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' It's not exactly a problem in your case, having NoFace and all. Huh?
:''[Rex gasps]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' No anchovies on pizza.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' No stripes with plaids.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah! Termine ser sentados, Por favor!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' ''[weakly]'' Is this what you wanted?
:''[Collapses from his inquiries, causing Circe to open her eyes]''
:'''Circe''' ''[tearful, pleading]'': Stop this! Please! You need him alive!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Alive-- Yes. Heart pumping, lungs breathing. But his mind? The less that's left of that, the better. Circe, I warn you. Lift so much as a finger to help him, and you're finished!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I'll have this trash removed. And now that you've had your fun, it's time to finalize our--
:'''NoFace:''' We will have our full revenge!
:'''Van Kleiss:''' It seems we've reached something of an impasse.
:'''NoFace:''' We take orders from no one else!
:'''Rex:''' I'm not driving a wedge between you, Am I?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Well played.
:'''Rex:''' Good news for me. For you, not so much.
:''[Van Kleiss grunts]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Pity we couldn't have worked something out. Breach, if you would?
:''[Van Kleiss sighs]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Looks like the hard way, then.
:''[Van Kleiss grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Huh? His work here finished, the hero does the noble thing. He runs like a thief. Adiós!
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:'''Bobo:''' Where the heck have you been?!
:'''Rex:''' You're not still holding on to that, are you? Because it's a good thing-- You know, with the whole... kaboom... Doc, I'm back.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' There you are. Rex, listen to me. If the shield fails, the only solution is a cold reboot of the system. I don't need to tell you what will happen if the thing's in there get out.
:'''Rex:''' Keep your lab coat on. This'll only take a minute. Or maybe not. Doc, do you remember back in the briefing all that stuff you were saying about worst-case scenarios? Yeah, we have a winner. I got nothing.
:'''Bobo:''' Great. 'Cause this situation's not random enough already. Let's throw some raging teen hormones into the mix.
:'''Circe:''' You, Biowulf, even me... We're all just means to an end for him. He doesn't really care about any of us.
:'''Rex:''' Oh, you finally figured that out. Well, better late than never, I guess.
:'''Circe:''' It's not too late, not if I have anything to say about it.
:''[Extends her fleshly and grotesque EVOs mouth]''
:'''Bobo:''' Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! There are some of us around here that might not like the sound of whatever you're about to do.
:'''Circe:''' I'll adjust the frequency to exclude friendly EVOs.
:'''Bobo:''' Does that include me?
:'''Circe:''' For now.
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:''[Uses her melodious, hypnotic singing to call back the EVOs escaping]''
:'''Bobo:''' Whoa, mama!
:''[Bobo grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' I thought you said you could filter it.
:'''Circe:''' It's not an exact science.
:'''Rex:''' It worked! You're calling them all back! And right towards us! Torn between saving his friends or the world, our hero makes the stupid choice.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Come on, Bobo... Focus! Think bananas! Think how much you hate 'em!
:'''Biowulf:''' Get that thing running.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, you'll need to follow this sequence exactly.
:'''Rex:''' Not no time for that!
:'''Computer''': Shield activation in sixty seconds. Fifty-nine, fifty-eight--
:''[Circe roar echoing]''
:''[Circe groans]''
:'''Bobo:''' Gotcha! Not seeing much of a difference.
:'''Rex:''' We are out of here! You coming or what?
:'''Biowulf:''' I was never here.
:''[Biowulf grunts]''
:'''Computer:''' Fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
:''[Circe groans]''
:''[Circe grunts]''
:'''Circe:''' Van Kleiss?
:'''Rex:''' Eh, Breach'll get him out... Eventually. But right now he's in there, you're out here. You'll never have a better time to consider, you know, your options.
:''[Notice the two of them holding hands and let go, blushing]''
:'''Bobo:''' What is it about stealing from our own people that's so dang satisfyin'?
:'''Circe:''' You forgot to remove the tracker.
:'''Bobo:''' Eh, funny that.
:'''Circe:''' I'm not going to Providence.
:'''Rex:''' Doesn't matter where you go. All that matters is that you want to go there. That said... I hear Hong Kong's nice this time of year. And so, the tired warrior journeys homeward-- Crisis averted, world saved, villains vanquished.
:'''Bobo:''' Girl not got. Again!
:'''Rex:''' Do you have to rub it in?
===Robo Bobo===
===Divide By Six===
:'''One''': ''[Speaking through Rex]'' Six.
:'''Six''': One?
:'''One''': You left this place, quit life as a mercenary and so rarely returned to visit.
:'''Six''': I did what I felt was right, I never meant to dishonor.
:'''One''': So rarely, that I never had time to tell you how proud you've made me.
:'''Six''': ''[Takes off his glasses for the first time in the series]'' We're going to help you. We're going to take you home.
:'''One''': But Six, I am home. ''[Rex falls unconscious while One's body starts changing. Eventually his body dissolves and fertilizes the entire island to its former splendor]''
: '''Six:''' He's still One. He's just one with everything.
===Mixed Signals===
: '''Rex:''' Whoa, big guy! Someone needs to ease off on the cheeseburgers.
: '''Six:''' Skip the insults. Start the containment.
: '''Rex:''' Like its feelings are going to get hurt. One bad and ugly going down. What?
: '''Six:''' Rex? Rex!
: '''Rex:''' Cool!
: '''Six:''' You want to explain this?
: '''Rex:''' I don't know. It's like some weird vision of this thing filled my head, then built itself out of me. Maybe the vision came from Blobbo. Maybe it's trying to talk to me. Come on, big boy. Send me some more pictures. What's on your mind?
: '''Six:''' Groceries. That's what's on its mind.
: '''Rex:''' I'm skipping. I'm over it. That vision must have been a fluke.
: '''Six:''' All right, then. We're going with a two-prong attack. Use caution. This kind of EVO might be a splitter. Rex! Snap out of it!
: '''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa! Ha! I wasn't supposed to do that, right?
: '''Six:''' Rex, I want you back at HQ.
: '''Rex:''' But I feel okay now. And we've got, um-- Two blobs to put down.
: '''Six:''' Now!
: '''Holiday:''' No trace of any recent electrochemical or DNA abnormalities. Everything reads normal.
: '''Rex:''' But it's like the visions were being transmitted, and I was seeing it from a nanite point of view.
: '''Holiday:''' I can't track it, Rex. There's no sign of signal displacement or a nano disturbance. Maybe we should consider the possibility that this is psychological.
: '''Rex:''' Huh? Pizza.
: '''Holiday:''' I think he's having another vision.
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Of lunch?
: '''Rex:''' With pineapple and salmon.
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Blech! He is nuts.
: '''Holiday:''' Aside from a strange choice in pizza toppings, all readings are normal. I can't explain it.
: '''Rex:''' Well, if my nanites are trying to get me to build something, maybe we should give them what they want.
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Whatever it is, I'm not eating it. Is that my electric toothbrush?
: '''Rex:''' It better not be the one I've been using.
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Oh.
: '''Rex:''' This is what I'm seeing in my head. As stupid as it looks. It's like someone or something is sending me instructions to build some big device.
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Or build a pizza with pineapple and salmon.
: '''Rex:''' Okay. I'm not sure about that vision.
: '''Holiday:''' Is that my hairdryer?
: '''Rex:''' I just need to figure out what it does. Maybe it's a time machine. Or-- Or alien technology!
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Maybe it's just a big pile of junk. Or a way to order a really awful pizza.
: '''Contraption Voice:''' Target acquired.
: '''Holiday:''' Rex!
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Wake up!
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Provindece Soldier #1:''' Hey, where do you think you're going? We've got a security breach. Front floor.
: '''Providence Soldier #2:''' Lockdown protocols enabled. All hands report to duty station. Security speed, take position.
: '''Rex:''' Sorry, guys. I might be a little... late.
: '''Caesar:''' Case compression. Release.
: '''Rex:''' Figures I'd build a machine with a serious attitude problem.
: '''Caesar:''' ''[taking off his helmet and turns to Rex]'' Rex, is that you?
: '''Rex:''' Who’s asking?
: '''Caesar:''' It’s me, Caesar, your brother! Mijo! ''[Hugs Rex]'' You're alive and... older. ''[Rex is dumbfounded]'' Uh. Atomic clock was right... ''[spanish accent]'' Es una problema grande.
: '''Rex:''' Uh, yeah. ''[Pushes Caesar]'' It is a big problem.
: '''Caesar:''' What is this place? Who are you people? ''[to Rex]'' I'm getting you out of here!
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Sorry, amigo. Put your hands up. Or don't. I got a clear shot either way.
: '''Caesar:''' ''[is looking at Bobo]'' A talking chimp?
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Don't bother. I've heard all the jokes.
: '''Caesar:''' Have they hurt you? Are you okay? Stand aside.
: '''Rex:''' Hello? Do I get a say in this?
: '''Holiday:''' If you're part of some elaborate plan to kidnap Rex, then you failed.
: '''Caesar:''' Listen, bonita, you don't wanna make me use this.
: '''Rex:''' ''[gets in between them]'' Enough! Normally around here when someone barges in talking crazy, they get around into the deck plates by my giant fists. But you seem legit. I'm going with him.
: '''Holiday:''' Rex!
: '''Rex:''' Okay, brother. Lead the way. So if you are my brother, where have you been all this time?
: '''Caesar:''' I'll explain later when we're safe.
: '''Rex:''' Uh, this is Providence. We are safe. Usually.
: '''Caesar:''' Providence? Never heard of it. To be honest, the last five years has been a bit of a blur.
: '''Rex:''' I want to believe you, but I'm gonna need some proof.
: '''Caesar:''' Your name is Rex Salazar. Our parents are Violetta and Raphael. The last time I saw you was at the Applied Nanite Research Lab in Abysus; right before those fools triggered a replication cycle.
: '''Rex:''' And I have total amnesia so, for all I know, that could be completely bogus.
: '''Caesar:''' There's a scar on the back of your left knee you got when you were seven, riding the gantry arm in the reactor annex.
: '''Rex:''' Hmm. I always wondered how I got that.
:''[they go out and Rex notices Caesar Salazar's pod laboratory]''
: '''Rex:''' Whoa. Nice wheels.
: '''Six:''' ''[Comes out and unsheathed his swords]'' Don't even think about it.
: ''[Caesar is about to attack but Rex stops him]''
: '''Rex:''' It's okay. Six isn't going to hurt you. Right, Six? You're comming in a little late on this, but, uh, this is Caesar, my brother, and he wants to get me out of here. So, let's just let my brother have his way and see where this all goes. Wherever you plan on going, they're going to follow us. You know that, right?
: '''Caesar:''' They can try.
: '''Rex:''' I don't know. Providence ship are pretty fast.
: '''Six:''' Track Rex's bio signature and find out who that guy really is.
: '''Rex:''' You ain't kidding. This thing moves fast. A-are we in the arctic?
: '''Caesar:''' How do you think I got to your location so quickly once the locator signaled me?
: '''Rex:''' Locator? You sent me the schematics to build that thing? It tried to crush me like a bug!
: '''Caesar:''' Sorry, mijo. I wasn't really trying to hurt. ''[scans Rex's body]'' I was looking for what's hiding inside of you. ''[showing Rex the result]'' The Omega One Nanite.
: '''Rex:''' That thing? Holiday discovered it before. We had no idea what it was.
: '''Caesar:''' I sent signal instructions for the Omega One to track and contain. But since the nanite has integrated into your DNA, you became the conduit for building the machine. What I don't get is how the Omega One got inside of you. Rylander was supposed to have that under lock and key.
: '''Rex:''' Rylander? He's the one who put it inside me.
: '''Caesar:''' Why would he do a thing like that? I'm really gonna have to let old fool have it when I see him.
: '''Rex:''' Not possible-- Courtesy of Van Kleiss.
: '''Caesar:''' Van Kleiss?! What does that third-rate lab hack have to do with this?
: '''Rex:''' What? I guess I’m not the only one who needs an update. Where have you been?
: '''Caesar:''' It's a long story-- actually, short by my clock. A splinter group had formed at the lab. They had other ideas about how the nanites would be used. We tried to stop them, and you were hurt. The only way to save your life was an infusion of nanites. It was risky, but it worked. We thought that'd be enough to stop the others, make them see the right path. But we were wrong. Mom and Dad were in the reactor. As for me, I managed to escape in my lab. But the shock wave, the same shock wave that probably blanked your memory.... also interfered with engine that powers this pod. I was stuck in sub-light drive.
: '''Rex:''' How long?
: '''Caesar:''' Fifteen minutes. That's how long it took me to reboot the system. But at the speed I was going, it was 5 years of your time. I knew there was an accident, but I had no idea how bad. My nanite sensors were off the charts. My 1st priority was to insure the OM-1 was safe. That was our promise. And here we are. So, what have I missed these past five years?
: '''Rex:''' Providence? We need to talk. They can wait.
: '''Caesar:''' So let me understand, there are EVOs and Van Kleiss claimed as their leader?
: '''Rex:''' Well, not for all of them, yet. I want to know about me, about our parents.
: '''Caesar:''' They were scientists. We lived all over the world. Things settled down when you came along. That was in Geneva.
: '''Rex:''' Wait a second. Are you saying I'm Swiss?
: ''Caesar:'' Not really. Mother was born in Mexico City. Father in Buenos Aires.
: '''Rex:''' And they're really... gone? ''[Caesar slowly nods sadly]''
: '''Rex:''' Um, where exactly did this ship take us?
: '''Caesar:''' What do you know?We're back at the original lab site.
: '''Rex:''' You mean the one in Abysus?
: '''Caesar:''' Is that a problem?
: '''Rex:''' I'd say just a small one. We should go, like now.
: '''Caesar:''' ''[typing]'' Hmm... Must be low on charge. ''[walks out the door]'' We may be stuck, but on the bright side, I can take a look at some of these variegated organisms. ''[goes out]''
: '''Rex:''' Caesar! Wait!
: ''[outside and observing the EVOs]''
: '''Caesar:''' Fascinating. We theorized mutations might occur but never anything this random.
: ''[Rex hits the EVO before they got near Caesar]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Sorry, bro, but these guys--
: ''[Rex hits another EVO]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Usually don't sit still for questions.
: '''Caesar:''' ''[seeing Rex's new build]'' Hmm... That's new.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Guess I've learned a--
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' A few tricks. But they still won't be enough if Van Kleiss shows up with all his goons. Six!
: '''Six:'''We're locked onto you. The keep is already on its way.
: '''Rex:''' Your ship may be out of juice, but I'm not. Hop on. I can get us out of here.
: '''Caesar:''' I won't leave my lab, and you definitely don't want Van Kleiss getting his hands on some of the things in here. I'll try to reroute the capacitors to an alternate power source.
: '''Caesar:''' Oh, you wanna see a photo of you, me, and papi? Maybe later.
: '''Rex:''' You're a little off, aren't you, Caesar?
: '''Biowulf:''' What was that machine it flew off with?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' A laboratory. One I thought I'd never see again. It seems an old friend has returned-Caesar.
: '''Rex:''' Providence isn't so bad now, eh, hermano?
: '''Caesar:''' Is this a Grinnell? They always made good consoles, except for the random power surges.
: '''Six:''' Well?
: '''Rex:''' Everything's cool. He's a little kooky, but I'm pretty sure he's my brother.
: '''Six:''' Glad to hear it. Now I need you back. We still have some unfinished business.
: '''Rex:''' Got to get back to work.
: '''Caesar:''' My little brother, the hero. I remember when you just wanted to be a musician.
: '''Rex:''' Guitar? No, wait drums.
: '''Caesar:''' Accordion.
: '''Rex:''' You got to be kidding me!
: '''Six:''' As I recall, you started it.
: '''Rex:''' Huh?
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Six:''' The EVO is dividing faster than we can contain it. The city is being evacuated.
: '''Caesar:''' Hmm. Excuse me, admiral. I need you to take me down there immediately. Afraid I'll have to insist.
: '''Six:''' Rex!
: '''Rex:''' Are you crazy?!
: '''Caesar:''' Depends on who you ask. I had something in my lab that I thought could help.
: '''Six:''' Help? You're not even supposed to be outside the keep.
: '''Rex:''' WHOO-HOO! Way to go, bro! First day on the job, and you already got a save!
: '''Six:''' Job?
: '''Rex:''' Oh, come on, admit it, Six. He just saved our chicharrones.
: ''[Caesar laughs]''
: '''Rex:''' What? What's so funny?
: '''Caesar:''' You always make me laugh when you try to speak Spanish.
: '''Holiday:''' We've pulled his records, and I've confirmes his DNA. It seems Rex really does have a brother.
: '''White Knight:''' If everything I've read about him is true, he could be an incredible asset to Providence.
: '''Six:''' Or a major liability.
: '''White Knight:''' All the more reason to keep him with us. Give him whatever he needs.
: '''Holiday:''' White's right, Six. He knows more about nanites than anyone on the planet. He helped invent them.
: '''Six:''' My point exactly. He's settling in?
: '''Rex:''' I guess so. Caesar's a little strange. Hard to believe he's actually my brother.
: '''Six:''' I'm happy for you, Rex. You always said you wanted to find your family.
: '''Rex:''' Thanks, but... You know that? I already did. Caesar may be my brother, but you, Holiday, Bobo, you're who I have a connection with.
: '''Bobo:''' Aww, now, see, I'm getting all misty.
: '''Caesar:''' There you are. Hmm. Nice view. Say, mijo, you think your cafeteria could whip up a pizza with pineapple and salmon? I've been craving one for days.
: '''Bobo:''' Connection, huh?
===Outpost===
:'''Alvarez:''' Did you hear that? Aah!
:'''Providence Agent:''' Alvarez!
:'''Valentina:''' He will be fine in a few hours.
:'''Providence Agent:''' Drop it.
:'''Valentina:''' I was planning to.
:''[Alvarez grunts]''
:'''Providence Agent:''' They are free.
:'''Valentina:''' Muy bueno. Providence is now at war with the Green Fist!
:'''Rex:''' Come on, doc. Are you serious? Another one? Ouch!
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' Oh, this is really necessary.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The rainforest is rife with diseases, poisonous insects, and worse. I don't want you coming down with anything.
:'''White Knight:''' Is he ready to go?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' As ready as he'll ever be.
:'''Rex:''' He's wondering how come Six doesn't have to get a shot if he's also going?
:'''White Knight:''' Six is still in New Zealand, dealing with a... Small problem.
:'''Rex:''' Oh sure. Let him deal with the small stuff. While I do all the hard work.
:'''White Knight:''' ''[to Rex]'' We don't have time to wait for him. You're going solo.
:'''Bobo:''' Hey! Where he goes, I go.
:'''White Knight:''' Like I said-- Solo. Now, this Green Fist group have been stealing EVOs all over South America. We believe they will hit Corazon de Selva next.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The Providence station there has just captured a large batch of EVOs in the jungle.
:'''Rex:''' Bobo and I are ready to roll.
:'''White Knight:''' Be careful. For all we know, the Green Fist could be selling EVOs to Van Kleiss.
:'''Bobo:''' I'm ready for carnival! Let's party!
:''[White Knight clears throat]''
:'''White Knight:''' The situation down there is... complex. I need both of you to handle the mission quietly and with diplomacy.
:'''Rex:''' I can be diplomatic. Oh, by the way, you might want to think about switching to low-fat, White. Starting to look at little... Jowly.
:'''Bobo:''' Better leave the diplomacy to the small one.
:'''Rex:''' This is the town?
:'''Bobo:''' Something tells me they're not in the mood to party. Maybe a knock-knock joke would lighten things up?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' You must be Rex.
:'''Rex:''' You're Agent Martrello?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' You may call me "Oso", my friend.
:'''Rex:''' White Knight said to send his regards.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Maybe he could come visit sometime, get some sun, see what it's like on the front lines nowadays? ''[laughing. Then to Bobo]'' This must be the monkey. He does tricks? Hello, señor Bobo.
:'''Bobo:''' ''[puts his palm to Oso's mouth]'' That's "Agent Haha" to you, buddy.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Come. The station is not fair.
:'''Bobo:''' Doesn't anybody mow the grass around here?
:''[Oso Maretelo chuckles]''
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Often. But the jungle can only be kept at bay, not subdued.
:''[Oso Maretelo grunting]''
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' There we go.
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Apologies. The air-conditioning is down again.
:'''Bobo:''' Makes our place look like the penthouse suite.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' But who needs air-conditioning? We're here to work! The kennel is this way. Most of these EVOs we brought in last week from deep in the jungle. A tempting target for the Green Fist.
:'''Rex:''' Whoa. It's packed in here! What are you gonna do with all of them?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' The big ones are shipped to larger facilities, like yours. These smaller ones stay here. They're really quite harmless, but the world wants EVOs captured, so we keep them. Oh, careful! This EVO is not like the rest. Took down six of my agents before we caught it.
:'''Rex:''' Is it really tiny or something?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' That's strange. He was here this morning, he can't have escaped. Aah!
:'''Bobo:''' Peekaboo.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Aah!
:'''Bobo:''' Yah!
:'''Rex:''' You all right there, buddy?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' I think you've both earned that cold drink you wanted.
:'''Rex:''' See? This gig isn't so bad. Cold drinks, fringe benefits.
:'''Bobo:''' It's on the fringe, all right, but I don't see the benefit.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Drink, Agent Haha. Horchata, the rice milk, is good for you. Besides... It's all they serve here.
:'''Rex:''' I think it's pretty good, but how come we can't get any service?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' We're Providence. All they know is when there's trouble, Providence is there. Our relationship with them is, uh, complex.
:'''Rex:''' Complex? We protect them from EVOs. You know, this calls for a little diplomacy.
:'''Bobo:''' Oh, brother.
:'''Rex:''' Excuse me.
:'''Waitress:''' ¿Sí?
:'''Rex:''' Uh... Uh...
:''[Waitress chuckles]''
:'''Waitress:''' You don't look like the usual Providence soldiers.
:'''Rex:''' That's 'cause I'm not. Name's Rex. Maybe you've seen me on the news?
:'''Waitress:''' No.
:'''Rex:''' Uh, what's that?
:'''Waitress:''' The horchata anejo. It's aged. Muy sabrosa.
:'''Rex:''' I'll take a pitcher of that.
:'''Waitress:''' We only make one pitcher a night. They have it.
:'''Rex:''' Hey, mind if I try some?
:'''Valentina:''' It's too strong for you, gringo.
:'''Rex:''' Gringo? So Mexicano!
:'''Valentina:''' Y tambien eres Providencia. Okay. Let's see if you can handle it.
:'''Rex:''' Gracias.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex gulps]''
:'''Rex:''' Ugh! That's good! Smooth!
:''[Rex gagging]''
:''[Oso Maratelo laughs]''
:'''Rex:''' ''[after taking a drink]'' I don't get what makes it so special.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' It's made from rice that's passed through the digestive system of a monkey.
:''[Rex spits his drink]''
:''[Valentina growls]''
:''[Biruta grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Whoa!
:''[Woman gasps]''
:''[Woman grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Woman:''' Aah!
:'''Old Man:''' Aah!
:'''Man:''' Aah!
:'''Biruta:''' Aah!
:'''Rex:''' I can't use my EVO powers against them! I don't want to hurt these people!
:'''Bobo:''' I wish they felt the same about us!
:'''Rex:''' Oso, you know how to use one of those?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' The lariat? Oh, yes. I grew up roping steer on my Uncle's Rancho.
:'''Bobo:''' Rex!
:'''Biruta:''' El es un EVO!
:''[Valentina sighs]''
:''[Oso Maretelo laughs]''
:'''Rex:''' So, what do you think of that? Aah!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Waitress:''' ''[tossing Rex, Bobo and Martello out the bar]'' You are like the other Providence agents-- Bad for business!
:''[Oso Maretelo laughs]''
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' This is where diplomacy gets you, my young friend. Now, are you up for a stakeout?
:'''Bobo:''' Not me! I'm out of with this town and these ungrateful people. I'm going home.
:'''Rex:''' But, Bobo, we need you for a special undercover mission?
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Please, Agent Haha. You are the key to the entire operation.
:'''Bobo:''' Oh, yeah? Well, you could have said that before.
:''[Oso Maretelo laughs]''
:''[Bobo grunting]''
:'''Biruta:''' Quiet! I'm trying to free you from Providence!
:'''Bobo:''' I am Providence, dummy.
:''[Biruta grunts]''
:''[Oso Maretelo laughs]''
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' These toys of yours-- They're for children!
:''[Biruta grunts]''
:''[Valentina grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Who're you working for?
:''[Valentina grunts]''
:''[Rex gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' You?! Horchata girl?! What do you think you're doing?!
:'''Valentina:''' I'm feeding all your prisoners, creep!
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Aah!
:''[Bobo groans]''
:'''Bobo:''' Whoa!
:'''Rex:''' Scratch marks? Weird. What the heck did this?
:''[Valentina screams]''
:'''Valentina:''' Huh? Aah!
:'''Rex:''' Take a number! I have business with the señorita first. Aah!
:''[Valentina grunting]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah! Aah!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Bobo:''' Hyah!
:'''Valentina:''' Aah!
:'''Bobo:''' Yeah, and stay down!
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Rex, you okay?
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' I feel... fine. I hope Holiday gave me a shop or whatever that was.
:'''Valentina:''' For the last time, we don't work for Van Kleiss! The Green Fist fights for the EVOs who cannot fight for themselves. We set them free-- Nothing more.
:''[Bobo snorts]''
:'''Bobo:''' Just what we need-- Humans for ethical treatment of EVOs.
:'''Valentina:''' Ugh! We were returning them to their natural habitat! What Providence does is wrong and against the natural order of things! ''[to Rex]'' You're a traitor to your own kind!
:'''Rex:''' That thing you set free-- It's natural order is to exterminate mankind! It wanted to kill you! Your men are dying because of it.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I wish I had better news.
:'''Rex:''' Thanks anyway, doc. We'll call with updates.
:'''Bobo:''' What did she say?
:'''Rex:''' The nanites in my system are fighting off the toxin, but that's only slowing it down. We need to make an anti-toxin, or-- or...
:'''Valentina:''' Or se va a morir!
:'''Bobo:''' In English! In English!
:'''Rex:''' It's doing to me what it's done to Valentina's men. If we don't get the anti-toxin soon, they'll die, and, eventually, I will, too.
:'''Bobo:''' Think I liked it better in Spanish.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' If I can get a blood sample of that EVO with this, it'll beam its DNA sequence back to Holiday and she'll be able to instantly synthesize an anti-toxin.
:'''Rex:''' I want to go.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' You're sick.
:'''Bobo:''' Aah!
:'''Rex:''' I'm better equipped than any agent you have, and you know it.
:''[Oso Maretelo sighs]''
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Very well. You'll come with me and a team of my best men.
:'''Valentina:''' You're killing him if you do that. Listen, you need me, Providence man. I know that jungle better than anyone. Your big, noisy party will alert that EVO. You won't get within a mile of it. My men are dying, too. Let me free!
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' You think I'm going to let you just walk out of here alone?
:'''Rex:''' No. I'm going, too.
:''[Bobo grunting]''
:'''Bobo:''' Aah!
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Anything yet?
:'''Rex:''' Nothing.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Rex, once you get the sample of the EVO's blood for the anti-toxin, I'll pick you up in the jump jet. White Knight wants you sticking to his orders, nothing more-- Capture the EVO and bring back the prisoner.
:'''Rex:''' Gotcha.
:'''Valentina:''' Orders? Prisoners? You wonder why we're suspicious of Providence.
:'''Rex:''' We're protecting people. What we're doing is good. I believe that.
:'''Valentina:''' You think I don't believe in what I do? Who decides who's right-- Your White Knight?
:''[Bobo snoring]''
:'''Rex:''' All we found out here are goats from the village-- At least what's left of them.
:''[Rex groans]''
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Valentina:''' You all right?
:'''Rex:''' I'm fine. Let's just hope this trap works.
:''[Bobo snoring]''
:'''Bobo:''' ''[to the creature]'' Hey, pal, didn't anybody tell you the trap's over there? Aah!
:'''Valentina:''' We've caught him!
:'''Bobo:''' No! You caught me! Big difference!
:'''Rex:''' Aaah! That's it. No more running. Hyah! Ahh! Okay, time for more running!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Ahh!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Adiós! Aah!
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' The toxins are breaking down my nanites!
:''[Rex panting]''
:'''Valentina:''' Over here! Come and get me!
:'''Rex:''' Don't! It'll kill you! :'''Valentina:''' You're too ill to fight it!
:'''Rex:''' Look, put down the flower basket and trust me.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' On my signal. Come on. Don't you want a nice Rex burger for breakfast? Not yet. Not yet. Now!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Valentina:''' You caught it. You've saved my men.
:'''Rex:''' We caught it... Together. First my cure... Now his. I don't believe it. This thing... It isn't an EVO.
:'''Valentina:''' The fangs, the toxin... The goat! Of course! How could I have been so blind? This animal is a chupacabra!
:'''Rex:''' Chupacabra? Isn't that a myth, like bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster?
:'''Valentina:''' I thought it was only a legend, too.
:'''Rex:''' Providence must have come blundering onto its home turf and captured it.
:'''Valentina:''' So... What will you do?
:'''Rex:''' Only one option, as far as I see it.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Go on. Get! Get!
:'''Valentina:''' There are things in this jungle stranger than EVOs and older than man.
:'''Rex:''' Well, as long as they stay here, we won't have anymore problems. Doc, did the sample beam through okay?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm synthesizing the anti-toxin right now. It'll be at the base by the time Oso picks you up.
:'''Rex:''' He'll be here soon with the jump set. You better get going.
:'''Valentina:''' Your orders were to bring me back.
:'''Rex:''' I don't always follow orders.
:'''Valentina:''' Thank you. This still doesn't make up for spitting the horchata in my face.
:'''Bobo:''' Ooh, slick. If it was me, I would have kissed her.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' The anti-toxin will have you back to normal within the hour. Now, what happened with the woman?
:'''Rex:''' She, uh, got away.
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' I see. You're learning, my friend. It's complex. A woman like that-- It makes our problems with EVOs seem simple, no?
:''[Oso Maretelo laughs]''
:'''Oso Maretelo:''' Safe journey, my friends. I hope to see you again.
:'''Bobo:''' That makes one of us.
:'''Waitress:''' Wait! For your trip!
:'''Rex:''' Uh... Gracias. How'd I earn this?
:'''Waitress:''' I heard what you did. The chupacabra-- It stole my abuela's goat. Providence is going to buy her a new one. Thank you.
:''[Waitress smooches]''
:'''Bobo:''' Hey, if that's all it took to make you happy, we would have run off with the goat when we first came to town. Aah! Aw! Some thanks!
===Haunted===
===Moonlighting===
===Without a Paddle===
===Written in Sand===
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, I need an uptade.
:'''Rex''': I'm right at the edge. Anything still alive in there is trying to get away from the sandstorm.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': It's not the storm they're running from. The nanites inside them are forcing the animals away. It's creating a kind of nanite-free zone.
:'''Rex''': Ha! We should call White Knight. Maybe he'll move here and leave us all alone.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': It's no laughing matter, Rex. It could be the most significant development since the original nanite event.
:'''Rex''': Yeah, yeah. Possible cures save the world-- Got it. I'll check it out.
:'''Bobo''': Hey, doc. You may wanna get a load of this over here.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Negative. The storm is moving in too fast. Just place a sensor and pack it in.
:'''Rex''': Hey. No. It couldn't be. Rex to base. We got trouble of the egomaniacal EVO kind.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Van Kleiss is here? Why am I not surprised?
:'''Rex''': I think the real question is, if everything else is in such a race to get out, why is he going on?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, wait.
:'''Rex''': Don't worry, doc. It's me. What could possibly happen?
:'''Skalamander''': RARGH! PTUH! They're nothing but dirt.
:'''Biowulf''': My senses-- Useless in all this sand.
:'''Van Kleiss''': This phenomenon deserves my personal attention. What we seek is nearby. I can feel it pushing against me.
:'''Rex''': ''[Rex emerges from the sand storm]'' Yeah?
:''[Skalamander grunts]''
:'''Rex''': ''[Rex kicks Skalamander]'' How about kicking against you, too?
:'''Van Kleiss''': Rex! You're not welcome here.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex''': Now, that hurt my feelings!
:''[Rex groaning]''
:''[Skalamander pins him to the sand, causing him to groan in pain]''
:''[Skalamander laughs]''
:'''Rex''': Aaah! Whoa!
:'''Van Kleiss''': If I never see your face again, It will be too soon!
:'''Rex''': Yeah? The feeling's-- Whoa! Mutual!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex? Rex, do you read me?
:''[Bobo coughing]''
:'''Bobo''': Okay, we gotta get outta here. I got sand in places I didn't even know I had places.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, if you can hear me, we're retreating to the safe zone. Rendezvous with us there.
:'''Rex''': AAAAH! WHOA-OHHHHHHH!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex coughs]''
:'''Rex''': Okay, Kleiss-- Go time! No EVO allies, just you and-- Whoa! Uh, sorry, buddy. Didn't mean to bring you along for the ride.
:'''Van Kleiss''': I don't need my EVO allies, when I can simply make more.
:'''Rex''': Don't get me wrong-- I love punching stuff. But anything you can do, I can undo better! We can do this all day. Or you can just spill it.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex''': Why are you causing this nanite-free zone?
:'''Van Kleiss''': How convenient it must be to make me the root of all evil. I'm not causing it. I've come to discover the source and destroy it.
:'''Rex''': This could be the cure to nanites.
:'''Van Kleiss''': And I live off nanites. What Providence calls a cure, I call death.
:'''Rex''': Really? Haven't we moved past this?
:'''Van Kleiss''': Huh?
:''[Van Kleiss grunts]''
:''[After Van Kleiss creates a scorpion EVO to attack Rex, it attacks him instead.]''
:'''Rex''': That is the funniest thing I have ever seen! Hang on-- I got to get this on video. ''[Takes out cell phone and starts recording Van Kleiss dodging the scorpion EVO.]''
:''[Van Kleiss panting]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': Something's wrong. I should be controlling this creature.
:'''Rex''': Stinks to be you. Huh? You ruined my shot!
:'''Van Kleiss''': I believe we've found something more interesting.
:'''Rex''': You like to point out the obvious, don't you?
:'''Bobo''': Don't get me wrong-- I love the kid, but if we don't pull stakes now, we'll be combing dust outta all sorts of places for years.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Too late. Hold on to everything that's not tied down. This is going to be a bumpy... ride.
:'''Six''': Holiday? I trust you're all right?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': I'm fine, Six. But Rex is still out there-- With Van Kleiss. I can't reach him.
:'''Six''': We'll prep a rescue party. Prepare to come aboard.
:'''Rex''': Hey!
:'''Van Kleiss''': This is not simply a nanite-free zone. Something is stealing the nanites from our bodies. If we linger here too long, we may both find ourselves defenseless against the other.
:'''Rex''': Well, then, we'd better blow this joint. And when I say "we" I mean "me".
:''[Rex tries to escape and fails]''
:'''Rex''': AAAAAAAAH!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': If either of us is to escape this place, we will have to work together.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex''': What exactly are you suggesting?
:'''Van Kleiss''': A temporary truce.
:'''Rex''': An extremely temporary truce.
:'''Van Kleiss''': We'll work our way to the center of the nanite storm.
:'''Rex''': No, we work our way out of the nanite storm and get Providence in here to figure out what's happening.
:'''Van Kleiss''': Providence? They can't be trusted.
:'''Rex''': Them? Didn't you try to take over New York? And Europe? And the world?
:'''Van Kleiss''': You need to listen to me, Rex. Without a powers, you're nothing but a child.
:'''Rex''': Oh, yeah? Truce over! Okay. This is awkward. Hey, is it just me, or are you getting really dust?
:'''Van Kleiss''': It's happening faster than I thought.
:'''Rex''': What's happening faster? If you know something, you'd better spit it out, or-- Whoa! It all looks fossilized. Like it's made completely out of... sand.
:'''Van Kleiss''': Not only are there no nanites here, this is pure silicone. There are no other elements-- No carbon, calcium, hydrogen. It appears that this zone not only destroys nanites, but is--
:'''Rex''': Squeezing the life from the Earth. This isn't sand. This is me!
:''[Rex whimpering]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': These glyphs-- There's something familiar about them. Sumatran? Mesopotamian?
:'''Rex''': Less geeking, more escaping!
:'''Van Kleiss''': We need to find the epicenter of this maze. These glyphs may hold the answer.
:'''Rex''': Only if one says "exit sign."
:'''Van Kleiss''': No need to panic, Rex. We have at least twenty minutes before fossilization-- Give or take.
:'''Rex''': "Don't panic"-- Says the guy who used to be dirt.
:''[Van Kleiss grunts]''
:'''Rex''': We're turning into walking litter boxes, and you're checking out caveman graffiti? No wonder I'm always kicking your butt.
:'''Van Kleiss''': You don't have an investigative bone in your body, do you? So strongheaded-- Just like your mother. ''[Rex is silent]'' No, you don't like that, do you-- That I know more about you than you do?
:'''Rex''': Skip the head games. Isn't exactly a good time.
:'''Van Kleiss''': No, but perhaps it is time for some truth. We may perish down here, Rex. Ask me anything you want about the past, and I'll answer it.
:'''Rex''': ''[looks at his own slowly fossilizing body]'' Sell it somewhere else. I'm not buying.
:''[walks away]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': Oh, so the great and powerful Providence has finally come through on their promise to help you remember your past.
:'''Rex''': Something better-- Someone who was actually there at the Nanite Event.
:'''Van Kleiss''': Aha. Your brother, Caesar.
:''[Van Kleiss chuckles evilly]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': I've been following you both very closely since his... miraculous reappearance. Even if you don't want to hear what I have to say, this one's for free. Do not place your trust in Caesar. He's not the man you believe him to be.
:'''Rex''': ''[creates his BFS and holds it at Van Kleiss' throat]'' What are you getting at?
:'''Van Kleiss''': Oh, no, no. That's not how this works. It isn't my turn. Quid pro quo, Rex. If you want to know more-- Why don't we start with something simple? Rylander's Omega Nanite. I know it's inside you.
:'''White Knight''': Status uptade?
:'''Six''': Still no fix on Rex. Scanners can't cut through the storm, so we're moving in to stage a recon.
:'''White Knight''': I will not risk everyone on board that ship for one agent. Not even that agent.
:''[Holiday subtly ends the call. Then to Six]''
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Whoops. Guess the satellite feed went down. Nasty sand.
:''[Six smirks]''
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Caesar? Wanted you to know we haven’t found him yet.
:'''Caesar''': Found who?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex.
:'''Caesar''': Right. Ah. Sorry. That was, uh, fifteen minutes ago. I've done about five hundred task since then. Try calibrating the keep's sensors to search for traces of Selenium. It's something Rex naturally gives off, like dandruff.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': I-- Really? Hmm. Okay, thanks.
:'''Van Kleiss''': So what you're saying is, the motor runs off of gravity and the only exhausts are atoms of selenium.
:'''Rex''': Now you. Squid Pro... Whatever. The nanites, the Event. What started all this?
:'''Van Kleiss''': He didn't tell you? I'm not surprised. It was Caesar.
:''[Rex pushes Van Kleiss to nearest wall and take out his BFS once again]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': Wasteful, Rex.
:'''Rex''': You're lying!
:'''Van Kleiss''': Hardly. Your brother is responsible for the most significant catastrophe in human history. You have to admit that as brilliant as Caesar is, he's... not quite right. Am I telling you something that you haven't already noticed?
:''[Rex groans]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex''': HAAAH!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Van Kleiss coughing]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': You seem to have awoken some sort of defense mechanism.
:'''Rex''': What are they defending? Rocks?
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': Before we're totally devoid of nanites, we need to end this now-- Together.
:'''Rex''': Back to back!
:'''Van Kleiss''': What?
:'''Rex''': Haven't you ever read a comic book? Back to back! No way. These markings-- They're not hieroglyphics. They're circuit boards. This whole cave, this valley-- It's one giant circuit board. These are data conduits-- Ms. Hubs!
:'''Van Kleiss''': You're right. These spirals are solid-state storage-- The standard design for a firewall in a CPU.
:'''Rex''': Did you just say I'm right? Now that I know what we're dealing with, it's a simple matter of-- Hacking in. This is malo-- Muy malo. Van Kleiss, meet the psycho computer who calls herself--
:'''Van Kleiss''': Zag-RS?
:'''Rex''': How do you know that? ''[Zag-RS notices them and attacks them]'' You know Zag-RS? How?
:'''Van Kleiss''': She was designed as a decontamination program at the original nanite laboratory. Her task was to destroy any rogue nanites that escaped from the holding tanks.
:'''Rex''': She did a great job. Whoever designed her should be taken out and beaten with a tendril.
:'''Van Kleiss''': Caesar designed her.
:'''Rex''': I'm gonna have to have a chat with my brother when this is over.
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Van Kleiss''': Focus, you fool. If we're to survive this, we have to use whatever nanites we have left to shut her down.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex''': No problemo! Ah, come on! Stay up! Show off!
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex''': Well, this bites.
:''[Rex straining]''
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex''': Didn't I leave you in orbit? Shouldn't you have burned up in re-entry or something?
:'''Zag-RS''': Re-entry resulted in a hard desert landing. This unit faced complete system failure. Salvation came from integration with the host space station power cell, where new initiatives were established.
:'''Rex''': Turning the world into a sandbox?
:'''Zag-RS''': Correct. The prevention of organic infection by elimination of organic matter and securing the Earth core system. Soon, this world will function without flaw.
:'''Rex''': Van Kleiss! Change of plan! While, I've got Zaggy occupied, you go and warn Providence before it's too late!
:'''Van Kleiss''': There's no time. Her strength is growing exponentially. To achieve victory, you must trust me.
:'''Rex''': Trust you?! That's comedy gold! Even if I was that big of a doof, neither one of us had enough power to fight back!
:'''Van Kleiss''': That's not entirely true.
:'''Rex''': Huh?
:'''Van Kleiss''': I've not been completely honest with you.
:'''Rex''': Stunned-- Really.
:'''Van Kleiss''': The Omega Nanite within you has a self-replicating program. You can create your own nanites.
:'''Rex''': What?! Why didn't you tell me!
:'''Van Kleiss''': A calculated emission.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex''': No way.
:'''Van Kleiss''': There-- That is the heart of Zag-RS. Strike while you can!
:'''Rex''': Oh, yeah! Now we're talking! Normally, I don't fight girls, but this time I'll make... A big... giant... robot exception!
:'''Dr. Holiday''': I found him, Six-- twenty kilometers northeast. There's a huge spike in trace selenium.
:'''Six''': Charge all weapons.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': The storm's starting to break. But please don't crash.
:'''Rex''': YAAAH!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex''': That's not fair! It worked in the movie!
:''[Rex whimpers]''
:''[Rex groaning]''
:'''Rex''': AAAH!
:'''Zag-RS''': You have miscalculated, human. The more nanites you replicate, the more energy you supply me. 7.5 seconds until I overtake your production.
:''[Van Kleiss grunts]''
:'''Zag-RS''': 4.3 seconds.
:'''Van Kleiss''': AAAAAAAAAH!
:'''Rex''': YAAAAAAH! One psycho robot down, one supervillain to chicken! Finally!
:'''Bobo''': What, you never heard the term "fashionably late"?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Your nanite-replicating function seems to be working well. Most of Zag-RS' alterations have been expunged.
:'''Rex''': Meaning... What?
:'''Bobo''': You ain't gonna wash away at high tide.
:'''Caesar''': This is my design.
:'''Rex''': Great-- My brother created Zag-RS.
:'''Caesar''': Evidently. Though her evolution into some sort of sentient nanite-slayer is most curious.
:'''Six''': Curious?
:'''Rex''': What about what Van Kleiss said?
:'''Caesar''': You mean I'm to blame for the original nanite event? Why don't we ask her? Wait! Interface protocols. Code designate Zag-RS. Respond.
:'''Zag-RS''': Dr. Salazar. Good morning. How may I assist you?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Stand down, gentlemen. Zag-RS has been successfully rebooted. But her memory has been wiped clean.
:'''Rex''': What? You got to be kidding me!
:'''Caesar''': That's interesting. Hmm. Van Kleiss must have implemented a program dump before he left you. It's the only logical conclusion.
:'''Rex''': Program dump?
:'''Van Kleiss''': Do not place your trust in Caesar. He's not the man you believe him to be.
:'''Rex''': Great. So now all we've got is a lame decontamination program with a GPS lady's voice?
:'''Caesar''': GPS lady? Hardly.
:'''Rex:''' I was making a joke.
:'''Caesar''': Don't you recognize it? When I programmed her, I wanted a voice that meant safety, protection, caring. Rex, this is our mother's voice.
:'''Rex''': ''[shocked]'' Mama?
===Night Falls===
: ''[Caesar's Pod Laboratory arrives at the town of Mexico City]''
: '''Rex:''' Are we there yet? ''[moving his legs and hugs his legs]'' All this futuristic technology and you never thought of adding a bathroom. ''[points at the monitor]'' City Hall! It must have a bathroom! Pull over-- Now! ''[Esteban writing some paperwork as the ground starts to rumble, He immediately ran outside looking at Caesar's research pod landing. The door opens and Rex finally made on solid ground.]'' Baño?
: ''[Esteban awkwardly points the bathroom]''
: ''[Rex runs]''
: ''[The elevator in Research pod went up and then down with Caesar]''
: '''Esteban:''' Caesar. ¿Eres tú?
: '''Caesar:''' ''[suspecting face]'' Esteban?
: '''Esteban:''' It's Mayor Esteban now.
: ''[Caesar laughs]''
: '''Caesar:''' Mayor? When you ran for class president, Maria Rodriguez got all the votes.
: '''Esteban:''' She was smarter and much better-looking. And I see you're still building your crazy contraptions. What brings you back to town?
: '''Caesar:''' To visit Abuela. It's a surprise.
: '''Esteban:''' You don't want to go there. It's not the same as you remember.
: ''[Rex righs]''
: '''Rex:''' ''[runs to the research pod]'' Okay, bro, let's go! ''[Rex went up to the lab]''
: ''[Esteban chuckling]''
: '''Esteban:''' ''[looking at Rex]'' Is that little Cabeza de Trapo?
: ''[Caesar laughs]''
: '''Caesar:''' I haven't thought of that for years. ''[Caesar went up to the lab]''
: '''Rex:''' What?
: '''Caesar:''' No es nada, mijo. We'd better get going.
: '''Esteban:''' At least stay in town tonight. You can head up to abuela's in the morning.
: '''Caesar:''' It's been over five years, Esteban. We're not waiting another minute.
: ''[Door closes and Research pods departs]''
: '''Rex:''' If she's not really our grandmother, why are you calling her "abuela"?
: '''Caesar:''' There may not be a biological connection, but she practically raised the entire town. When you were a boy, you spent every summer here.
: ''[Rex stops and feels incomplete]''
: '''Rex:''' I wish I could remember her. Or any of this.
: '''Caesar:''' I'm sure she'll be excited to see you. Just prepare yourself for a lot of sloppy grandma kisses.
: ''[Caesar pats Rex's hair and keeps on moving]''
: ''[Rex knocks at the door, The door opens by Abuela]'' Abuela, it's me-- Caesar.
: ''[The Salazar brothers show themselves while Caesar holds a Bouquet of flowers]''
: '''Abuela:''' Caesar! And is that my Cabeza de Trapo?
: '''Rex:''' Why is everyone calling me that?
: '''Abuela:''' What are you doing here?
: '''Caesar:''' We've come to visit. May we come in?
: '''Abuela:''' ''[Looks at the sky for a brief moment]'' No! ''[slams the door]''
: '''Rex:''' Maybe we should have called first.
: ''[The Salazar brothers spend the night in the Research pod with Caesar sleeping at the floor and Rex sleeping on the table. Unintentionally the computer sets thte alarm causing Rex to wake up a bit.]''
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex:''' Ten more minutes, Six. [''covers his ears with his pillow]''
: ''[Caesar opens the door and looks down, Seeing Abuela holding breakfast]''
: '''Abuela:''' Who wants breakfast?
: ''[Rex immediately wakes up]''
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Rex:''' Yo!
: ''[Rex drops off the table]''
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex:''' Ouch!
: ''[After a few minutes, Rex picks up his breakfast]''
: '''Caesar:''' Abuela always was the best cook.
: '''Abuela:''' I have missed my niños. ''[Puts her hand on Rex's shoulder]'' Rex, I have been following your work with Providence, and I always knew you would be a big important scientist.
: '''Rex:''' So, why did you slam the door on us last night?
: '''Abuela:''' Oh, that. You just caught me off guard. We weren't expecting visitors.
: '''Rex:''' I thought you always--
: '''Caesar:''' Enough with the questions, little brother.
: '''Abuela:''' Let me look at you.
: ''[Abuela grabs Rex's face]'
: '''Rex:''' Mmph!
: '''Abuela:''' I can't believe how you have grown. Come, see-- The rest of the family.
: '''Rex:''' Does everyone in town live here?
: ''[Caesar chuckles]''
: '''Caesar:''' I remember evenings here, laughing, telling stories. And the food! Rex, if you thought breakfast was good, wait and see what abuela makes for dinner.
: '''Abuela:''' It is an old building. There are always repairs.
: '''Federico:''' Rex!
: '''Rex:''' Huh?
: ''[Rex chuckles nervously]''
: '''Rex:''' Uh... What's up?
: '''Federico:''' It's me-- Federico. Have you forgotten the secret shake?
: '''Abuela:''' You and Federico were best friends when you were little.
: '''Caesar:''' Cabezas de trapo!
: '''Rex:''' Why do you keep calling me that?
: '''Caesar:''' You used to put underpants on your heads and act out Lucha Libre movies.
: '''Rex:''' Glad I don't remember that.
: '''Federico:''' Lucky you.
: '''Esteban:''' Abuela, I must speak to you.
: '''Abuela:''' Someone has forgotten his manners.
: '''Esteban:''' You can't just keep avoiding me. My phone has been ringing off the hook. The village is concerned about the recent activity.
: '''Abuela:''' Well, it shouldn't be. What goes on here is our own business.
: '''Esteban:''' Not when it leaves these walls. The situation is getting worse.
: '''Abuela:''' We've made the necessary corrections. It won't happen again.
: '''Esteban:''' You got one last chance to get out of town. Or I will evict you myself.
: '''Abuela:''' An old squabble. You don't need to worry.
: '''Caesar:''' What aren't you telling us, abuela?
: '''Abuela:''' Time to start making dinner.
: '''Rex:''' Dinner? We just had breakfast.
: ''[Caesar chuckles]''
: '''Caesar:''' Trust me. ''[Stands up with his glass]'' To family!
: '''Rex:''' Is it like this every night?
: '''Federico:''' Pretty much.
: ''[Rex chuckling]''
: ''[The kid kicks the ball high, Frederico stands up and catch the ball and dribbled. Rex was impress.]''
: '''Rex:''' Hey. You're pretty good. Everything about going pro?
: ''[Frederico drops the ball, awkward silence]''
: '''Federico:''' Not anymore.
: ''[Rex picks up the ball, kicks it. The ball lands on the table splashing the food all around, everyones laughting. The bell rings and everyone starts going away.]''
: '''Rex:''' Okay, maybe not my best move, but it wasn't that bad.
: '''Abuela:''' Come, children!
: ''[Caesar and Rex follows Abuela to their room]'' You'll sleep here.
: ''[Rex notices Frederico]''
: '''Federico:''' See you in the morning.
: ''[Frederico darkly walks into he's room. Rex enters in his. In the room Caesar's unpacking, Rex looks around. Suddently Abuela locks the door.]''
: '''Rex:''' ''[to Caesar]'' Did she just lock us in? :''[Rex tries to open the door, fails]'' She just locked us in!
: '''Caesar:''' We need to respect our elders. I'm sure she had her reasons. ''[Rex walks to window, Caesar's trying the new bed.]'' Ooh! Bed's pretty comfy. Good night!
: '''Rex:''' But-- but... It's only 6:30!
: ''[Night, suddently a roar is heard. Rex and Caesar wakes up.]''
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Rex:''' Sure, that's not weird, either!
: ''[Mayor's office, the phone start's ringing.Esteban picks up.]''
: '''Esteban:''' Bueno. I'm glad you cloud return my call. I understand you can help me with my EVO problem.
: ''[Salazar's room. Rex and Ceasar already dressed.]''
: '''Rex:''' Frederico? That's his room behind here!
: ''[Caesar grunts]''
: ''[Caesar pull's the door, they are still locked.]''
: '''Caesar:''' ''[to Rex]'' Can you break it down?
: '''Rex:''' How about respecting our elders?
: '''Caesar:''' Technically, I am your elder. Brake it down!
: '''Rex:''' I'll do one better! Hunh!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Forms Smack hands and punches trought the wall, making a hole that reveals Frederico's room.]''
: '''Rex:''' This place is just full of surprises. Okay, fur face, if you ate my friend--
: '''Caesar:''' Rex! Wait!
: '''Abuela:''' There has been a breach! Where is Rex?
: '''Caesar:''' I suspect halfway down the hill by now. Abuela--
: '''Abuela:''' I know.
: '''Rex:''' Whoa-- Unh!
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex:''' AAAAH! Whoa! Unh! UAAAAGH! This is for Federico!
: '''Abuela:''' Rex! No! That is Federico!
: '''Federico:''' Are those your hands? Genial. I got out again, didn't I?
: '''Rex:''' So, you're like a were-EVO?
: '''Caesar:''' Lux Lucius Mutatio. Interesting.
: '''Abuela:''' Come-- We've got to get back to the house.
: '''Esteban:''' I told you this would happen! You can't control them anymore!
: '''Rex:''' It wasn't her. It was me. I let them out. I didn't know.
: '''Esteban:''' All these EVOs!
: '''Abuela:''' They're just boys.
: '''Esteban:''' Look at the destruction your boys caused! The people are tired of living in fear! You'll be leaving today!
: '''Rex:''' I'm sorry, abuela. I had no idea. And now you have to leave because of me.
: '''Abuela:''' I'm not going anywhere!
: '''Federico:''' We turn at sundown and then back at sunrise. It only happens to some of us.
: '''Caesar:''' I took samples from all of the affected family members. Everyone shares the same genetic code-- something similar to hypotrichosis.
: '''Rex:''' Hyper, huh?
: '''Caesar:''' Werewolf syndrome. The nanites triggered the dormant gene.
: '''Federico:''' Can you cure it?
: '''Rex:''' I can try. Strange. I don't feel anything. Do you?
: '''Federico:''' Thanks anyway.
: '''Caesar:''' I'm seeing no active nanite tracers whatsoever.
: '''Rex:''' Well, maybe it's because he's not an EVO form.
: '''Federico:''' I just want a normal life again. I don't want to have to leave my home.
: '''Caesar:''' Maybe there's a way you can have both.
: '''Rex:''' Sorry about the wall. Why didn't you tell us?
: '''Abuela:''' Because I didn't want Providence to know.
: '''Rex:''' But Providence can help.
: '''Abuela:''' By taking those afflicted away? No. Every night when the bell pulls, those that have the change are locked away safely. For years it has been this way and no one has been hurt.
: '''Rex:''' But-- You're prisoners in your own home.
: '''Abuela:''' You may see it that way, niño. But at least we are a family.
: '''Federico:''' You know-- Even though we got busted today, it was kind of fun to get out.
: '''Rex:''' Don't you ever feel cooped up in here?
: '''Federico:''' There is one thing I missed. Go-o-o-o-al!
: '''Rex:''' Why did you stop playing if you love it so much?
: '''Federico:''' One day during practice, I stayed late so some scouts could see me play. Sun went down, and, well... They made me quit the league after that. Still haven't replaced the go box.
: ''[Federico chuckles]''
: '''Federico:''' Is that Providence?
: '''Rex:''' I don't know who it is.
: '''Federico:''' We should probably get back. It's almost evening bell.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Rex.
: '''Federico:''' That guy just shot my ball!
: '''Rex:''' Oh, this is just perfect. Hunter Cane he has a thing for hunting down EVOs I already put him away once.
: '''Federico:''' So, what's he doing here?
: '''Rex:''' Guessing your mayor called him.
: '''Federico:''' No, I mean did, he break out or something?
: '''Rex:''' Don't know. Don't care.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Why am I not surprised? This one of them?
: '''Rex:''' Bringing this guy here was a bad move.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' For them? And I get to settle an old score while I'm at it. Lucky me.
: '''Rex:''' No-- Lucky me!
: '''Federico:''' Rex, we've gotta go.
: '''Rex:''' You don't have to worry. This guy has nothing to sweat.
: '''Federico:''' Now!
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Well, what do we have here?
: ''[Hunter Cain grunts]''
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Esteban, my friend, I may not even charge you for this one.
: '''Rex:''' The mayor wasn't kidding. He sent an EVO hunter who likes to shoot first and skip the questions. We'll need every man, woman, and werewolf.
: '''Esteban:''' You were warned, abuela. You can live peacefully or we will bring you out.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' I didn't come here for conversation.
: '''Esteban:''' But you said it would just be a show of force. We run them out of town. No one gets hurt.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' I don't negotiate with EVOs or their families. If you don't like what you're about to see, you can head on down the hill.
: '''Rex:''' Why don't you join them, hunter?
: '''Hunter Cain:''' I never back down from a fight.
: '''Rex:''' Neither do I. You bring your magic EVO bullets, or is this going to be a real fight?
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Lucky for you, these are the old-fashioned kind. But they hurt just as bad.
: '''Rex:''' Yeah, that is kind of annoying.
: '''Caesar:''' Just hours ago, there wasn't any nanite activity. But now, it's like night and day.
: ''[Caesar laughs]''
: '''Caesar:''' That was my little pun. It seems the samples are reacting differently in the absence of sunlight. If I can only work out the photoreactive elements--
: '''Rex:''' I don't even think a cure will stop Hunter Cain. He'll never listen to reason.
: '''Caesar:''' I still gotta try. I think I can affect the change in the nanite programming during your nocturnal cycle. If I'm gonna cure this, I have to do it before sunrise.
: '''Rex:''' Not a Hunter gets to them first. I can keep doing this till you run out of ammo.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Fire on target!
: '''Rex:''' AAAAAAAH!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex:''' Note to self-- Don't give him any ideas. You have to let them out!
: '''Abuela:''' I made a promise to keep them safe from harm!
: '''Rex:''' Where they can't defend themselves? That's exactly what won't happen!
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Grandma, step aside.
: '''Abuela:''' I stand with my family.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Have it your way. I'll take all of you down.
: '''Abuela:''' You obviously haven't met my family.
: '''Rex:''' Can't believe we're not related. So, what was your big jail break? Nail pile and a cake? Exploding smoke bomb?
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Cold, hard cash. Not everyone at Providence is an EVO-lover.
: '''Caesar:''' Huh? Yes! Rex, we can reprogram the nanites to disregard the photoreactive coding of their DNA with a frequency-tuned pulse! That should allow you to cure them!
: '''Rex:''' Sounds great, but I've sort of got my hands full. Unh!
: '''Caesar:''' You mess with my brother, you mess with me.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Who are you? You an EVO?
: '''Caesar:''' No. I'm a scientist.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' AAAAH!
: '''Caesar:''' Your turn.
: '''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa-ho! Wait! I thought you said you had to zap their nanites.
: '''Caesar:''' In a manner of speaking. First, I zap you. Then, you have your nanites through do the rest.
: '''Rex:''' AAAH!
: '''Caesar:''' Too strong. I'll make an adjustment.
: '''Rex:''' Adjustment? How about you wait for me to say "okay" next time? You're still here?
: '''Hunter Cain:''' When I said I was out of the disintegrator ammo, I lied. One left, and it has your name on it.
: '''Rex:''' Federico, I'm not sure if you can understand me, but it might be time for the return of Las Cabezas de Trapo.
: '''Caesar:''' I think I've got the settings figured out.
: '''Rex:''' You think? AAAH!
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Caesar:''' That's more like it.
: '''Rex:''' ''[Woozily]'' Okay. Let's give it a try. I'm not trying to hurt you.
: '''Abuela:''' Federico, mi corazoncito. Let him try.
: '''Rex:''' Maybe we have to wait for a sunrise. We- We made it worse. Now we stuck that way!
: '''Federico:''' It isn't him-- It's me. I can control it now!
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Doesn't change a thing to me. He's still an EVO. I'm gonna finish the job I came here to do. I'll wipe out the whole compound if I have to.
: '''Abuela:''' There is no place for your kind of hatred here!
: '''Hunter Cain:''' You think I'm afraid of you?
: '''Rex:''' I think you should be.
: ''[Hunter Cain spits]''
: '''Rex:''' Hunter knows how to hold a grudge. He'll come back.
: '''Federico:''' And we'll be waiting.
: '''Rex:''' So, this mean you're gonna try out for the pros?
: '''Abuela:''' I think it's time we all go out and live our lives.
: '''Rex:''' La familia!
: '''Caesar:''' Cabezas de trapo!
===Hard Target===
: '''Rex:''' "It's Breach! She's-"
: '''Circe:''' "Messing with you, Rex. Did you actually see on her the other side?"
: '''Rex:''' "Well, no but...OK, why Hong Kong?"
: '''Circe:''' "Because it's on the other side of the world, because she's seriously messed up."
: '''Cricket:'''" Kind of like our place."
: '''Circe:''' "Trust me. She's back in Abysus laughing it off with the rest of the Pack. Besides, I'm not that easy to find."
: (''Removes the white towel to reveal her shoulder-length black hair partly dyed a deep plum and having donned a dark gray overall dress'')
: '''Rex:''' "OK, Rex. Bad intro. Take a do-over. Like the new look."
: '''Circe:''' "Wow. A compliment."
<hr width80%>
:'''Skywdd:''' "And that's when Circe goes all [[w:Siren (mythology)|siren]] and blasts the bus driver's pants clean off."
:'''Circe:''' "Lucky shot. Hit the exact frequency of polyester."
:'''Tuck:''' "Good thing his boxers were cotton."
:'''Rex''' (''uncomfortable'')''':''' "Good one. Uh, Circe, remember when you took down that sea monster in Cabo Luna?"
:'''Circe:''' "Please, Rex, I'd rather not remember that right now."
:'''Skywdd:''' Geez, Rex. Buzzkill."
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' "Stop it."
:'''Skywdd:''' "What's with him?"
:'''Circe:''' "Breach lag. Let clean over his bedtime."
:'''Rex:''' "That and my early morning snooze. By the way, you were right. Breach wasn't after you. She freed Quarry. Got this from the Providence security feed."
:'''Skywdd:''' "Quarry?"
:'''Tuck:''' "He's lose?"
:'''Cricket:''' "Oh no."
:'''Circe:''' "You saw Breach and came back ''here!'' What if she followed you!?"
:'''Rex:''' "Don't worry. If Breach were here, I'd feel it. She's here."
<hr width80%>
: '''Breach:''' "Hey, girlfriend."
: '''Circe:''' "Get out of here, Breach!"
: '''Breach:''' "But Van Kleiss has so been wanting to chat."
: '''Circe:''' "Then deliver a message for him! "
: (''Uses her ultrasonic bursts on Breach, who creates a portal behind her, knocking her out with her own sonic abilities)''
: '''Rex:''' "Let her go, Breach!!"
: '''Breach:''' "Oh, sorry, Rex. She's gonna save my skin. V.K.'s tough on failure, remember?"
: (''Teleports away with an unconscious Circe on her shoulder'')
: '''Rex:''' "NO!!"
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' "Hold that thought. You can come out now. I got that creeped out feeling."
:'''Breach:''' "Peek a boo."
: '''Skwydd:''' "It's her!'' She took Circe."
: '''Rex:''' But not to Van Kleiss. You never went to Abysus, did you? You slipped her into your little pocket dimension. Let her go, Breach!
: '''Breach:''' And I agree to that...why?
: '''Rex:''' "Because you wouldn't want Van Kleiss to see this. I'm thinking a trade is in order."
: (''Breach releases Circe, who is caught by Skwydd'')
: '''Circe:''' "I hate you, Breach."
===A Family Holiday===
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' The pace of study has been staggeringly slow. There have been no significant advancements in nanite research since the original event. Simply put, Providence is not doing enough. What is required is not a military response, but a serious, thoughtful reaction, a scientific answer. The poor and afflicted deserve more. The world, deserves more. Let me introduce Diane. Mother of three. Diane has been diagnosed as incurable, a lost cause. Since then, she's been treated like an animal, locked away from her family... No hope on the horizon. Until now. At Moses Labs, we don't rely on tanks, guns, or secret weapons-- Only an unwavering belief that whatever science breaks, science can fix. Welcome back, Diane.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Happy birthday, little sister.
:'''Rex:''' Hope that I paid the bills. This is going to be expensive.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Caesar:''' Release the hounds.
:''[a door opens revealing some Evo hounds]''
:'''Rex:''' Huh? Whoa!
:'''Bobo Haha:''' Heh! I thought that was just a figure of speech. You're a sick puppy.
:'''Rex:''' Aah! Not cool, bro!
:''[Rex panting]''
:'''Rex:''' ''[Spanish accent]'' Agua, por favor.
:'''Caesar:''' Water second, probes first.
:'''Rex:''' No offense, but being a guinea pig is a lot less fun when it's you instead of Holiday.
:'''Caesar:''' Don't I run the biometric tests with the same efficiency?
:'''Rex:''' How are we related? Have you looked at Holiday?
:'''Bobo Haha:''' She ain't my species and even I know she's a hottie.
:'''Caesar:''' She is... very smart.
:'''Rex:''' Where is the Doc anyway? She usually can't wait to get her hands on me.
:'''Bobo Haha:''' Saw her this morning, looking pretty grim.
:'''Agent Six:''' It's her sister. Her sister's birthday to be precise. Holiday gets introspective this time of year.
:'''Caesar:''' Her sister? Oh, is she smart too?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hey guys. Can't talk. Hangar!
:'''Bobo Haha:''' Ah, human dames. I don't know how you guys keep up.
:''[Dr. Holiday pants]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Thank you for coming, Dr. Moses. It's a genuine honor.
:'''Rex:''' Who the heck is that guy? Why is Holiday acting all fangirl around him?
:'''Caesar:''' It's Dr. Brandon Moses, the leading researcher in technogenic transmorphing! If anyone's going to develop a kill for EVOs, it's going to be him!
:'''Bobo Haha:''' Now, that's actin' fan-girl.
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Not the worst I've seen.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Can you help her?
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Beverly would be an excellent candidate for my treatments. Have her transported to my facility.
:'''Rex:''' Hold up! I know you have a bunch of letters after your name, but curing EVOs is what I do. Some of them--
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Some you just can't handle, Rex. Dr. Moses' research goes to places you don't, so if you don't mind-- 10 minutes, then we'll be in the air. Thank you, doctor. I've earned 5 years' worth of personal time, Knight. I plan to use it all.
:'''White Knight:''' I don't like it, but I like your sister even less. Go for your "cure", Holiday. But if it doesn't work, don't bring her back.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Agent Six:''' What do you really know about Dr. Moses?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I know what I saw.
:'''Agent Six:''' You're not taking her to the doctor for a checkup. Has he handed you supporting data?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Why won't you let me have this? It's the first glimmer of hope I've had since Rex got here.
:'''Agent Six''': I think you've lost your objectivity. If you can't help her--
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' That's the point! I can't! I need this cure. If you won't help me, stay out of my way!
:'''Rex:''' Any chance she's right?
:'''Agent Six:''' Hope she is.
:'''Rex:''' But we're not going to sit around and do nothing in case she's wrong, right? Today you're my sidekick-- Not a fashion-challenged soccer mom blocking my mojo. If there's any chance of playing hero for Holiday, I call dibs.
:'''Security guard:''' Dr. Moses' inventions are not for public viewing-- Especially not by Providence.
:''[Security guard grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' That "soccer mom" comment really got to you, huh? When did science geeks start packing heat? Huh?
:'''Agent Six:''' Check the machine.
:'''Rex:''' I'm no engineer, but as far as I can tell, all this thing does is light up and go "ping". They never cured it! This was a scam!
:'''Agent Six:''' Holiday's in trouble. Holiday, Moses is a fraud. There is no cure!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' What's going on here? Moses, what is this?
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Business, Dr. Holiday-- Big business. Now, if you wouldn't mind stepping aside so I can collect your sister--
:'''Agent Six:''' Holiday?! What's happening?!
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Or don't step aside. I'm good either way.
:'''Agent Six:''' Holiday! We've got our coordinates. Go!
:'''Rex:''' It's a hundred miles away!
:'''Agent Six:''' Correct.
:'''Rex:''' Hold on to your swords, old man!
:''[Dr. Holiday grunts]:''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I trusted you!
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' A bad trait, a scientist. But look on the bright side-- You won't be locked in a cell anymore. That was just... Shameful.
:'''Rex:''' Be the hero. Be the hero. Be the--
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' ...Zero. You'll be a lot less grouchy in a few seconds, pal. Half cured? That's new.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' They've got Beverly.
:'''Rex:''' You wanna talk to her?
:'''Agent Six:''' Now's not the time.
:'''Rex:''' And when exactly is. She needs a friend, Six.
:'''Agent Six:''' I... prefer to keep it professional. Keeps people from getting hurt.
:'''Rex:''' Dude. Take off the sunglasses. She's already hurting. If I were you--
:''[Six gets a radio signal]''
:'''Agent Six:''' If you were me, you'd have a lead. Get Holiday. Dust off in 3.
:'''Rex:''' Where are we going?
:'''Agent Six:''' Moses may be a genius but not because he can cure EVOs. He overpowers them-- Hypercharges the nanites with excess energy to push their transformations.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' That's why Rex only partially cured that EVO he stripped the EVO of its extra power. But at its core, it was still incurable.
:'''Rex:''' We learned something new today. Great.
:'''Agent Six:''' Gets worse. Moses has turned his tech into a cottage industry. He takes incurables and weaponizes them to sell to the highest bidder.
:'''Rex:''' Don't sugarcoat it, Six.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' How did you find this out?
:'''Agent Six:''' I called some former associates-- People who know things, things that good people shouldn't know about.
:'''White Knight:''' Question-- Why is my keep on an unapproved mission?
:'''Rex:''' It's cool, Knight. We're helping Holiday.
:'''White Knight:''' No! We had a deal! Return to base immediately!
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's over guys. I can't drag you down because of my mistake. I won't.
:'''Agent Six:''' Keep returning to base.
:''[Knight ends the transmission]''
:'''Agent Six:''' I said the keep is returning to base. I didn't say we'd be on the keep.
:'''Rex:''' You okay?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hanging in there.
:'''Rex:''' Hanging in there is good. I don't like to see you unhappy, you know. I-I mean--
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I know what you mean. Thanks.
:'''Agent Six:''' Better luck next time.
:''[Rex gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' Jealous much, sidekick?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Who is that?
:'''Rex:''' Someone who knows things good people shouldn't.
:'''Five:''' Machine boy! Like the new ax? You owe me for the last one.
:'''Agent Six:''' We'll talk music later, Five. You have word on Moses?
:'''Five:''' Five don't lie. Your guy is running an auction-- Tonight.
:'''Agent Six:''' I owe you.
:'''Five:''' She's a lot more beautiful than you let on, Six. Try not to screw it up this time.
:'''Agent Six:''' You coming?
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' The EVO is the military ordinance of the future. We all know it. You drop one of these babies into your neighbor's backyard, and it's game over. But to get the most annihilation out of your nanites... you need me.
:'''Human EVO:''' You promised to cure!
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' My technology not only amps up their abilities, but, for an extra charge, will modify their behavior to suit your needs. What am I bid for this army of one?
:'''Agent Six:''' ''[Bursting in]'' I'll open with extradition for crimes against humanity!
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' ''[to his bidders]'' Wait! This is just a minor disturbance.
:''[Moses groans]''
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' ''[to Holiday]'' Do you know what you just cost me, all for one hopless wreck?!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Holiday hits Moses]'' Her name is Beverly.
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Then give sissy a hug.
:'''Dr Holiday:''' No! Don't hurt her, Rex!
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, sure. Handle with care. Whoa! Can you tell her that, too?
:'''Agent Six:''' Going nowhere?
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Uh, let's not be ''[chuckling]'' rash.
:''[Holiday slaps Moses]''
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' I'm gonna have to get you a dictionary. Rash will not help anyone, especially not Beverly.
:''[Holiday grabs Moses]''
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Who can still be cured.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Holiday drops Moses]'' What?
:'''Agent Six:''' ''[Brandishing his swords]'' No games. Truth or dead.
:'''Rex:''' Fight still going! Need assistance! Big time! Whoa!
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' I did invent a machine that de-powered nanites, almost. But the bonds and nanite particles were too strong to break. Instead, I discovered that I could reverse the polarity to its maximum, overpowering the nanites. It's easier and-- Profitable.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' But you did isolate the bonds? So, you can break them!
:'''Agent Six:''' Holiday!
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! Ugh! Unh! Okay, I called hero, but I need some extra kick for my sidekick! Unh! Seriously!
:'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Time to earn a return on my investments! Kill them all!
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa!
:'''White Knight:''' I won't even bother telling you the trouble you're in. Catch those other EVOs and report to my office the moment you're back.
:'''Rex:''' What other EVO-O-O-O-Os?
:''[Rex turns around and notices the EVOs behind him]''
:'''Rex:''' Ooos?
:'''Rex:''' Think they got it?
:'''Agent Six:''' They'd better. We're busy.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Unh! Okay. That's the flux transponder. That's the nanite energizer. Don't you explode on me-- Not now. Aah!
:'''Rex:''' I'll hand the one crazed sister. You take the other. It'll be like a double date. Don't bother... your sister... while she's working!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I can see what he did, but... uh... there's no time! I can't-- I can't help her! It's over.
:'''Agent Six:''' Holiday-- Rebecca-- You are the strongest, smartest woman I have ever met, and the most stubborn.
:''[Six removes his glasses and looks her in the eyes]''
:'''Agent Six:''' You never give up. If there's a way to help your sister, find it-- now!
:''[Slight pause. Holiday smiles and puts Six's glasses back on his face then leaves]''
:'''Agent Six:''' That's my girl. New plan. Corral her to the machine.
:'''Rex:''' Plans are good! Yah! What you got, Doc?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Moses was right. The polarity of the nanite energizer is wrong! I have to amplify and reverse it. But I don't have-- Six... Your magna blades-- But it would be too dangerous. Six!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six!
:'''Agent Six:''' Is it working?
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's working.
:'''Rex:''' Six, get out of there!
:'''Agent Six:''' You called hero on this one, Rex! Finish it-- For her! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Unh! Get them out, Rex-- Both of them-- Now!
:''[Dr. Holiday gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' Doc! You gotta see this!
:''[Dr. Holiday panting]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[as she's trying to revive Six]'' Don't you do this to me! I will hate you forever if you--
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:''[Six coughs]''
:'''Beverly:''' Rebecca?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Beverly!
:'''Rex:''' That was... I'm... Wow! Six, I've never said it before and I'll probably never say it again, but... I'm honored to be your partner.
:'''Bobo Haha:''' Mushy stuff? Oh! Glad I missed it.
:'''Rex:''' But don't ever do anything like that again.
:'''Agent Six:''' Agreed. But you have to admit though... It was worth it.
:''[Dr. Holiday and Beverly laughs]''
:'''White Knight:''' We're not running a boarding house here. No more relatives.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I just need her for a few more tests, sir. She was only 13 when she went Evo, and she's in a fragile state.
:'''Beverly:''' Woo Hoo!
:''[Beverly laughing]''
:'''Beverly:''' Rex just took me on a ride through the Zoo on his cycle.
:'''White Knight:''' "Fragile." Right.
:'''Rex:''' We're going to the mall.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Are you asking permission?
:'''Rex:''' No. I'm asking if we can have some money. Providence pays me nada.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Can I have a word with you?
:'''Agent Six:''' Sure this is a good idea? Could ruin your hero status with Holiday.
:'''Rex:''' It's funny. After meeting Bev, out of nowhere, it hit me that Doc Holiday is just a little too old for me. So, since I'm out of the way, I guess there's nothing stopping you anymore, huh, "hero"?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Well... right. I guess... I'll set up those tests.
:''[Holiday starts to walk past Six. Six takes a hold of her hand]''
:'''Agent Six:''' Or... we could get some dinner.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Outside? In the real world? Like real people? Like a--
:'''Agent Six:''' Yes. Like a date.
:''[Dr. Holiday gasps]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's about time.
===Hong Kong Nights===
===Whispers in the Dark===
===Cutting It Close===
===Exposed===
:'''White Knight''': All Providence personnel, this is a priority-one alert.
:'''Agent Six''': Do not panic. Remember your training.
:'''White Knight''': In all my years of working at Providence, never have I been put in such a situation. These interlopes could be anywhere at any given moment.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Hey, what's all the-- Whoa! Sorry. We're late.
:'''Bobo Haha''': You can't prove a thing!
:'''White Knight''': Watch what you say. Watch what you do. The very future of Providence may depend upon it.
:'''Rex Salazar''': So, what's going on? Van Kleiss attack in the HQ again?
:'''Agent Six''': Worse.
:'''Diane Farrah:''' I'm Diane Farrah, and for the first time ever, we've got an exclusive all-access pass inside the top-secret organization known as Providence. To uncover for our viewers, all the juiciest behind-the-scenes details of this most secret of institutions. And to find out the real story behind that man of mystery you've all wondered about for so long.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Aah.
:'''Diane Farrah''': All your questions are about to be answered. Welcome to Providence Exposed! ''[Camera closes-up on her face]'' On Ultimate Exposure! And cut. Great into, guys. Okay, moving on.
:'''Rex Salazar''': This is cool.
:'''Agent Six''': This is wrong.
:'''Rex Salazar''': How's my hair?
:'''Bobo Haha''': Delicious.
:'''White Knight''': Ladies and gentlemen, the delightful Miss Farrah and her crew have used the Freedom of Information Act to force.
:''[White Knight clears his throat]''
:'''White Knight''': To allow them access to a day in the life of Providence. And to ensure you are afforded the very best Providence has to offer, I'm assigning our top man as your personal guide.
:''[Rex moves towards the news team]''
:'''White Knight''': Six, please show Miss Farrah whatever she wants to see.
:'''Agent Six''': Agent Six is the name. On behalf of Providence, I'd like to welcome you to our facility.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Spare me the small talk. I'm here to ask the tough questions, and I expect truthful answers.
:'''Agent Six''': Shoot.
:'''Diane Farrah''': So.. is there a Mrs. Six?
:''[Combs her hair]''
:'''Bobo Haha''': Smooth.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Like you'd have done better.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Are you kidding? They want exposed. I'm going to give that reporter a piece of my mind and a few other pieces while I'm at it. I got stories that'll make them run screaming for the hills.
:''[Bobo Haha laughs]''
:'''Agent Six''': If you'll follow me, I'll be happy to show you one of our nanite research labs up close and personal. EVO control is our primary area of concentration, but Providence is focused on a great many studies. Each employing the best and the brightest our planet has to offer.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Thanks, Six. You know, this is my brother's lab. He's only like the smartest guy in the entire world. Yeah, being the best at what we do totally runs in our family.
:'''Caesar Salazar''': Not a good time.
:'''Agent Six''': That experiment is highly sensitive.
:'''Diane Farrah''': So, Agent Six, how did you become a Providence agent?
:'''Agent Six''': That's also highly sensitive.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Amazing story though about how I became a Providence agent. See, there was this big accident.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Good morning. My name is Dr. Rebecca Holiday, And I'm the chief research officer for the Providence Laboratory Facilities - specializing in the study of evology. Providence's number one priority is the security of our planet. And through the studying and understanding the forces that threaten us--
:'''Diane Farrah''': Let's cut to the chase, shall we, doctor?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Oh, um, okay.
:'''Diane Farrah''': How do you balance the threat of EVOs, the constant danger... with being a woman?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Uh.
:''[Dr. Holiday laughs nervously]''
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Oh, excuse me.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Speaking of studying, check this out. You can edit that, right?
:'''Diane Farrah''': We're all about the editing.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, maybe you could show these journalists some of your other duties, like what you're supposed to be doing right now, for instance.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, man. That's right. Come on. You're going to love this.
:'''Diane Farrah''': EVOs come from far and wide for a chance to be cured by this young man. How often do you do this?
:'''Rex Salazar''': At least once a week here at HQ. When I'm in other parts of the county or the world, Providence sets up a mobile cure station. There are a lot of people out there who need my help. I only wish I could get to them all. Wait. Um, let my try again. ''[after Rex can't cure an EVO]'' Shut it off.
:'''Diane Farrah''': But this is really good drama, Rex.
:'''Rex Salazar''': I asked to be on TV. They didn't. Please give these people their privacy.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Come on, buddy. Everybody has an off day.
:'''Rex Salazar''': In front of millions of viewers? So much for everyone's favorite Providence man of mystery.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Well, they're just lucky they haven't had the camera on me yet. Oh man, talk about Ultimate Exposure. When I get through with them--
:'''Rex Salazar''': I just wish I could look cool on camera somehow.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Phbt! Good luck. The only way that's going to happen now is if some experimental EVOs busted out of their cages and went on a rampage so you could round them up and look like a hero.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Providence isn't known for being forthcoming with information. I hope this interview will change that. The people want answers and I fully expect them from you.
:'''White Knight''': Very well. What do you want to know?
:'''Diane Farrah''': For starters, how do you get fresh milk without any nanites in it?
:'''White Knight''': If you must know, it's passed through a powerful magnet that removes and neutralizes any nanite activity.
:'''Agent Six''': Observe.
:''[White Knight smacks lips]''
:'''White Knight''': Anything else?
:'''Diane Farrah''': Not at the moment, but I'll be back.
:'''White Knight''': I look forward to it.
:''[White Knight sips]''
:'''Diane Farrah''': So, Agent Six, what do you think about White Knight's obsession with staying nanite-free at the expense of human contact?
:'''Agent Six''': He's a man of many mysteries.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Look out! Coming through! Dangerous escaped EVOs on the loose! Stand back! Let a professional handle this!
:'''Diane Farrah''': Follow him.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Yeah, I'm kind of awesome.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Did you get them all?
:'''Rex Salazar''': How many did you release?
:'''Bobo Haha''': I don't know, three or four.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Well, which was it? Three or four?
:''[Rex Salazar gasps]''
:'''Agent Six''': Well then. Now that Rex's little demonstration is over, how about a visit to the Providence gift shop? On me.
:'''Diane Farrah''': How long has Providence had a gift shop?
:'''Agent Six''': Since 8:00 A.M. You want to tell me how a class by EVO got out of its electromagnetically-sealed container and just happened to cross paths with our tour?
:'''Rex Salazar''': It's not like this kind of thing doesn't happen here all the time. I just wanted it to happen this time, in front of the camera, all right?
:'''Agent Six''': Not all right. That last EVO-- You just helped it molt so it could grow. Its body is still out there somewhere, getting bigger.
:'''White Knight''': Providence is run like a finely tuned machine. Until you decide to throw a monkey wrench into the works.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Hey, pal, let's leave the comedy to me.
:'''White Knight''': And how is it exactly that these EVOs got out?
:'''Bobo Haha''': Okay, Mea Culpa. I may have accidentally knocked open a cage or two-- Or four.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': That fourth cage was electromagnetically sealed.
:'''Bobo Haha''': I didn't say it was easy.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': The EVO we had contained in there feeds on electricity. It must be kept away from any electrical current.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Then it sure is a good thing this whole place isn't full of electricity. Oh, wait.
:'''White Knight''': Find it. Subdue it. And most importantly, don't let that camera crew see it.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Eh, were wastin' time hunting this thing down when I could be on camera right now, giving those people a piece of my mind.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Hey, I only saw the EVOs empty husk before. What's the real thing look like anyway? Huh?
:'''Bobo Haha''': That.
:''[Rex Salazar grunts]''
:''[Rex Salazar grunting]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Any suggestions?
:'''Bobo Haha''': Can you make a soccer net?
:''[Rex Salazar and Bobo Haha grunts]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Aha! Got you cornered now. There's no way out. You're overpowered.
:'''Bobo Haha''': You were saying?
:'''Agent Six''': You wanted to interview me. Now's your chance. Go.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Um... okay. Tell me, Six-- May I call you Six?-- What is the real truth behind the nanite event that created the EVOs?
:'''Agent Six''': That's classified.
:'''Diane Farrah''': What is your role, if any, in that event?
:'''Agent Six''': That's classified, too.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Are you always this talkative?
:'''Agent Six''': No comment.
:''[Rex Salazar grunts]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Wait. Let me do that again. You didn't get my good side. Which is my good side?
:'''Bobo Haha''': Your backside.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Agent Six, you promised you were taking us to the heart of the operation.
:'''Agent Six''': Right. The heart of the operation. This way.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': [Watching from a monitor] It went right.
:''[Rex goes to his right. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Camera right!
:''[Rex goes to the camera's right]''
:'''Dr. Holiday''': How can you miss it now? It's six feet in diameter and weighs five hundred pounds!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Less criticizing, more helping!
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Try to steer it in the direction of Hallway twelve. We can isolate it in the atrium.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, we've got it contained there now.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': No, sorry. I was reading that backwards. Hallway twenty one.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, Hallway twenty one leads to the central core!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, so, no big deal. That's a cold-fission reactor, not electric, right?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, all electricity is converted from something-- Wind, solar, hydro-- At the central core!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Ohh.
:''[Providence Agent screams]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Uh-hoh.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, listen carefully and do exactly as I say because we're only going to get one shot at this.
:'''Diane Farrah''': One shot at what, doctor?
:'''Dr. Holiday''': The... future. Providence is the future. The future used to be the space program. Now the future is Providence and the science of EVOs.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Doc? Are you still there? We have a situation.
:'''Agent Six''': Just a minor downgrade of power during a routine relay check. Nothing to worry about.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Guys, I could really use some advice right about now!
:''[Rex Salazar grunts]''
:'''White Knight''': Attention all Providence Personnel, we have a Level-One Priority...
:''[Realizes the reporters are present]''
:'''White Knight''': Drill. Repeat-- This is our daily drill in the Central Core-- Now.
:'''Agent Six''': Lunch bell. It's taco day. Anyone hungry?
:'''Diane Farrah''': Agent Six, while we appreciate the commemorative spoons and the tacos, I can't help but think that you've been hiding something from our viewers.
:'''Agent Six''': Not at all, ma'am. Providence is an open book.
:''[Rex Salazar screams]''
:'''Diane Farrah''': Cut! You're ruining the shot, Rex. Just be patient. I will get to you-- I promise.
:''[Rex Salazar groans]''
:'''Agent Six''': Get down.
:''[Diane Farrah gasps]''
:'''Diane Farrah''': That was... what you did.
:'''Agent Six''': Just doing my job, ma'am.
:'''Rex Salazar''': And I'm just doing mine!
:''[Rex Salazar grunts]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': You're not going anywhere now, buddy, except back to your-- Cage?
:'''White Knight''': We hope that you and the Ultimate Exposure team are enjoying our EVO containment demonstration, Miss Farrah. All part of readiness training here at Providence.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Can I quote you on that?
:'''White Knight''': Miss Farah, I'm not gonna stop you from filming, but for your own safety and the safety of your crew, please step back and let my people do what they do best. Alpha Team, I need a containment of the cafeteria, cube formation. Fire! Rex.
:'''Rex Salazar''': I'm on it.
:'''Agent Six''': Stay here. This is the real deal.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Not on your life. Find an elevator. We're missing it.
:'''Caesar Salazar''': Still not a good ti-i-i-i-i-me!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, big boy. No more crawl spaces. No more Hallways. Just you and me in a big, old hangar bay mano y mano.
:''[Rex Salazar grunts]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Huh?
:'''Bobo Haha''': ''[after Rex has been repeatedly beaten back by the Evo]'' Looks like you showed him.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Are you going to talk, or are you going to help?
:'''Bobo Haha''': Talk. Kidding! I'm helping! I'm helping!
:''[Rex Salazar grunts]''
:''[Rex Salazar groaning]''
:''[Rex Salazar groaning]''
:''[Rex Salazar sighs]''
:''[Rex Salazar groaning]''
:'''Diane Farrah''': Please tell me you're getting all of this.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Providence's man of mystery strikes again. Ow! It-- it bit me!
:'''Diane Farrah''': Quick, grab some B-roll footage before they get rid of all the evidence.
:'''Rex Salazar''': You did see that I did all the heavy lifting and Six just took out the trash, right?
:'''Diane Farah''': Don't worry. The camera never lies.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Yes!
:'''Bobo Haha''': Good! Then get a load of this!
:'''Diane Farah''': Do you have something to say?
:''[Camera zooms in on Bobo]''
:'''Bobo Haha''': Oh... oh.
:''[Bobo mutters then passes out]''
:'''Diane Farrah''': I think we have everything we need.
:'''Rex Salazar''': I don't know how you guys came off looking, but yours truly rocked hard. Just call me Providence's Man of Mystery from now on. Oh, yeah! Stardom starts in five, four, three, two--
:'''Diane Farrah''': I'm Diane Farrah, and for the first time ever, we've got an exclusive all-access pass inside the top-secret organization known as Providence. To uncover for our viewers, all the juiciest behind-the-scenes details of this most secret of institutions.
:'''Rex Salazar''': We are so dead.
:'''Bobo Haha''': Nice knowing you, kid.
:'''Diane Farrah''': To find out the real story behind that man of mystery you've all wondered about for so long.
:'''Agent Six''': Agent Six is the name.
:'''Rex Salazar''': They did it.
:'''Bobo Haha''': They did.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': This is a news show? What is the world coming to?
:'''Diane Farrah''': Look out, ladies. Agent Six is the full package -- brains, brawn, and--
:'''Agent Six''': Highly sensitive.
:'''Diane Farrah''': Just what is he hiding behind those alluring, dark glasses of his?
:'''Agent Six''': That's classified.
:'''Diane Farrah''': He's the Providence agent you women wanted to get to know.
:'''Agent Six''': Up close and personal.
:'''Diane Farrah''': That's right, girls.
:'''Agent Six''': He's The real deal.
:'''Diane Farrah''': And he's known throughout Providence as--
:'''Agent Six''': The heart of the operation.
:'''Diane Farrah''': He's the organization's best-kept secret, the ultimate agent, and--
:'''Agent Six''': The man of many mysteries.
:'''Diane Farrah''': And, yes, ladies, he is single -- or is he?
:''[Dr. Holiday laughs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday''': Excuse me.
:'''Agent Six''': No comment.
:''[Rex and Bobo Haha laughs]''
:'''White Knight''': Well, that's a relief.
:'''Rex Salazar''': ''[after the story airs]'' So, man of mystery, what's it like being a big star adored by women everywhere?
:'''Agent Six''': No comment.

:''[Providence agents are standing in an industrial area, fingers on triggers. Rex flies in on jet pack and lands beside all the agents.]''
:'''Rex:''' Any sign? ''[Rex notices agents shaking in fear.]'' Alright then, who’s up for a burger, anyone? Tough crowd.
:''[Six walks up.]''
:'''Six:''' These agents seem nervous. Haven’t they dealt with this situation before?
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, that's kind of the problem.
:''[Rex twitches, as if he is feeling Breach's presence.]''
:'''Providence Agent:''' Here she comes.
:''[Breach appears in front of them. They fire at her. She sends their missiles and agents away with red portals.]''
:'''Six:''' How do we stop her?
:'''Rex:''' ''[Smack Hands.]'' Hit hard and keep clear of anything that glows.
:''[Breach has a collar around her neck like the one Van Kleiss wears, and a device on her chest like his only much larger and shackles are around her giant hands which look like Van Kleiss's bio-mechanical wrist. She opens a red portal. A giant jellyfish-like thing flies out at Six, then a large creature with a horn on its nose runs out. Rex jumps at Breach, she portals out, returns and the device on her chest starts sparking.]''
:'''Rex:''' What's with the new toy, Breach?
:'''Breach:''' ''[Glares]'' Wouldn’t you like to know?
:''[T-Rex appears through a gold colored portal, sniffs Rex.]''
:'''Rex:''' Seriously, where do you find these things? Let's see what you started out as, big guy. ''[Tries to cure.] Six? This... this isn't an EVO!'' It's an actual T-Rex! ...Six?
:''[Rex runs from T-Rex.]''
:'''Breach:''' Have fun. ''[Leaves through red portal.]''
:''[Rex hides behind light pole, T-Rex pulls pole from ground, Rex falls to the ground.]''
:'''Six:''' I take it this sort of thing doesn't happen all the time?
:'''Rex:''' Try never? This is all kinds of wrong.
:''[Rex makes BFS, runs at T-Rex; Six runs at T-Rex, jumps on and stabs it in back.]''
:'''Holiday:''' Is that what I think it is?
:'''Six:''' You mean about to be extinct?
:'''Holiday:''' If you destroy the scientific find of a lifetime, it won’t be the only thing.
:'''Rex:''' It's trying to eat us.
:'''Six:''' You heard the lady. Take it down soft.
:'''Rex:''' Easy for you to say.
:''[Rex lies on the ground holding the jaws open with Smack Hands and it slobbers on him.]''
:''[Scene change.]''
:''[Video of T-Rex in confinement field. The T-Rex turns to dust.]''
:'''White Knight:''' Breach is powerful enough as it is, and now you're telling me she can travel through time?
:'''Holiday:''' However she's doing it, I haven't worked out all the kinks yet. That dinosaur reverted to its actual age about less than two hours after arrival.
:'''Caesar:''' Photo and deep scan analysis reveals some very interesting technology at work here. Van Kleiss has really stepped up his game.
:'''White Knight:''' Skip the fan talk. How do we stop it?
:'''Caesar:''' Until I get my hands on the device, I'm not certain we can.
:'''White Knight:''' We have to bring her to our side.
:'''Rex:''' The only way she's coming here is if she does it willingly.
:'''White Knight:''' How do you propose we persuade her?
:'''Rex:''' With me. ''[Six and Holiday stare at him skeptically.]'' I can be very convincing. Okay, okay. I think she might still have a thing for me.
:'''Bobo:''' Atta boy, work it on the crazy chick.
:'''White Knight:''' I don't care how we do it as long as we get results. Providence is under the microscope. It is the worst time for Van Kleiss to gain the upper hand. Get to it. Bring her in.
:''[Six and Holiday walking out of the room together down the hall.]''
:'''Six:''' ''[To Holiday.]'' I need a word. Something's wrong with White.
:'''Holiday:''' Oh. That. He’s always like this, Six.
:'''Six:''' No. This is different. I know when something is bothering him. The secret meetings, the anxiety. He’s up to something.
:'''Holiday:''' I'll see what I can find out.
:''[Scene change.]''
:''[Rex on hoverboard, in Providence stealth suit.]''
:'''Rex:''' WHOO-HOO! Works pretty good. After all, I built it. ''[Loses control of board for a moment.]''
:''[Scene change.]''
:''[Van Kleiss's castle, Rex hiding by entrance.]''
:'''Rex:''' Going in. ''[Pulls up stealth mask, disappears partly, runs past guard.]''
:''[Scene change.]''
:''[Breach is hooked up to a large machine. Van Kleiss stands before her with a huge bank of controls and displays, spooky dark lighting. She screams.]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' This is unacceptable, Breach. I need you to concentrate.
:'''Breach:''' It hurts.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Think of what I'm trying to achieve here. I cannot fail.
:''[Breach screams in agony and collapses.]''
:''[Rex looks down horrified, Van Kleiss grins, Breach screams and falls down.]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I'll return when it recharges and we'll start again.
:''[Rex holds his hand out to her.]''
:'''Rex:''' Why do you let him do this to you?
:'''Breach:''' Glory.
:'''Rex:''' Van Kleiss's glory. Is he even noticing how you're tearing yourself apart for him? Have you ever heard him say thank you? What do you say we blow this joint, you and me? He's hurting you.
:'''Breach:''' It's not real. It can't hurt you if it isn't real.
:'''Rex:''' Breach, look at me. It is. I'm real, all of this is real. You don't have to live this way.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Why am I not surprised. Rex has come to rescue another of my lost sheep. Perhaps he'll try to save you next, Biowulf.
:'''Rex:''' That depends. Is he housebroken yet?
:'''Biowulf:''' I am no traitor.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You’ve no doubt seen our little experiment. Breach shows great promise. She just needs a little fine tuning.
:'''Rex:''' Then what? Go back in time and be king of the cavemen?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Why not? It wouldn’t be much of a step down, now would it? Breach, if you would, remove our guest so we can continue. Practice makes perfect, or in your case, acceptable.
:''[Breach makes a red portal.]''
:'''Rex:''' Breach! Think about what you're doing.
:''[Van Kleiss grins, she runs and puts her arms around Rex, portals out with Rex.]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Find her. Now.
:''[Mountains, snow, Rex shivering.]''
:'''Rex:''' I'm glad you got us out of there, but where... are we?
:'''Breach:''' When the snow is gone you can see forever.
:'''Rex:''' That's nice. Can we go now?
:'''Breach:''' I need to know if I can trust you.
:'''Rex:''' You can trust me. I swear.
:''[Breach grabs his hand and hugs him. He opens his eyes. They are standing on a shiny endless reflective surface, reflecting stars.]''
:'''Rex:''' This is different.
:'''Breach:''' Do you see it?
:'''Rex:''' Um--
:'''Breach:''' This is where the stillness comes from.
:'''Rex:''' You. Are weird. So what exactly does this mean? Are you coming with me or is this some kind of test?
:'''Breach:''' I need you to see it.
:'''Rex:''' Ah... A test.
:'''Breach:''' Do you wanna understand?
:'''Rex:''' Not exactly sure. ''[She glares, he waves his hands in front of him.]'' Yes, I mean yes. I mean--
:'''Breach:''' Follow me. ''[Walks through red portal.]''
:''[Another place. A door, a doll, a bear and a fire hydrant float in space.]''
:''[Rex hanging upside down, she is holding him by his ankle above a swirling pink vortex.]''
:'''Rex:''' Ahh! What happened? I thought we were getting along fine!
:'''Breach:''' Why are you here?
:'''Rex:''' Good question. Where exactly is here? Can we go somewhere else now, somewhere like, on Earth?
:''[She drops him. He screams and lands on the floor between some stacks of books.]''
:'''Rex:''' You sure know how to pick'em. What kind of tripped out dimension is this? ''[Librarian walks by and shushes him.]'' Oh. College.
:'''White Knight:''' ''[On communicator in Rex's right ear.]'' Rex, report. Where on earth have you been?
:'''Rex:''' Apparently every place but.
:'''White Knight:''' I need to know you can handle this otherwise we're going to try a different approach.
:'''Rex:''' You need to chill out, White. I’m making progress. ''[Rex puts his hand to his left ear.]'' Dr. Holiday, are you there?
:'''Holiday:''' Tracking shows you’re with Breach. Are you okay?
:'''Rex:''' Fine? Creeped out but fine. I can't bring Breach back to Providence, White would just lock her up and that won't help.
:'''Holiday:''' Where will you take her?
:'''Rex:''' I'll think of something. Just keep White Knight off my case.
:''[Breach appears behind him.]''
:'''Rex:''' Why don't you let me pick out where we go next?
:''[Scene change.]''
:''[White Knight hands folded moving nervously.]''
:'''White Knight:''' He says he's making progress.
:'''Black Knight:''' The committee is losing confidence. They want results, not excuses.
:'''White Knight:''' Then that's exactly what they’ll get.
:''[Scene change. Rex sits across from Breach in a booth at a bowling alley.]''
:'''Rex:''' Soooo, don't like bowling, huh? I figured with the extra arms you'd be a natural.
:'''Breach:''' I'm not supposed to like you, but I do.
:'''Rex:''' ''[smiles]'' We're teenagers. At least assuming you are. Doing what we are not supposed to is part of the job. French fry?
:''[She takes it and then drops it.]''
:'''Rex:''' Do you remember anything? From before you... changed?
:'''Breach:''' I remember everything. And nothing.
:'''Rex:''' Naturally. Why did I even bother to ask. Listen, Breach. I'm not going to pretend I understand you, ''[Puts his hand on her giant hand]'' but I can help. If you let me.
:''[The machine starts to glow, they jump to their feet, other people look startled.]''
:'''Rex:''' Nothing to worry about. Everything's fine.
:'''Breach:''' I can't, I can't stop it.
:'''Rex:''' Let me try. ''[He tries and it knocks him onto the floor sparking.]''
:'''Breach:''' Van Kleiss has control. They're coming.
:''[Van Kleiss busts through the door with The Pack following. Raises bio-mechanical hand, palm of it glows, device on Breach's chest turns off.]''
:'''Rex:''' Okay, do your thing. Get us out of here. Anywhere.
:''[she tries]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You can't take what doesn't belong to you.
:'''Rex:''' I didn't take you for the jealous type. ''[Rex shoots bowling balls at Van Kleiss with his cannon, hits Biowulf and Skalamander in the face and Van Kleiss punches the balls aside with his bio-mechanical hand.]''
:'''Rex:''' Breach, let's go!
:''[Breach rides off with Rex on hoverboard, Van Kleiss and Pack follow on three flying fish EVO's with harnesses and big teeth. They dodge and crash Van Kleiss into a window, and land in a park.]''
:''[Breach and Rex stand together on a footbridge looking down into the water.]''
:'''Breach:''' ''[Walks to bridge and looks at her reflection, Rex follows.]'' Will they hurt me?
:'''Rex:''' Providence? Not if I can help it.
:'''Breach:''' They did before. Ms. Smarty Pants—she likes to hurt me.
:'''Rex:''' I'll give you my word, if you come back to Providence, I promise no one will hurt you.
:'''Breach:''' We can be together forever and ever. ''[She walks off bridge, ducks swimming in water.]''
:'''Rex:''' Uh... something like that. What am I getting myself into? We gotta move. I bet my brother has already figured out how to turn that thing of yours off.
:''[The ducks fly off, they look and see a reflection in the pond of White Knight's ship.]''
:''[White Knight walks up followed by Providence fighter planes.]''
:'''Rex:''' Uh guys, what are you doing?!
:'''White Knight:''' If you can't have something done right, do it yourself.
:''[They shoot at Breach, she screams, Rex is horrified.]''
:'''Rex:''' No! No! No! ''[walks up bridge to White Knight]'' Do have any idea what you just did?
:''[Breach's chest device turns on, she screams, Providence shoots at her.]''
:'''Rex:''' Is this what you wanted? Congratulations! ''[runs to Breach]'' Breach! Wait!
:'''Breach:''' Liar! ''[Throws red portal at Rex, he dodges, second one hits him, he disappears. Providence keeps shooting, she throw portals, drops three soldiers in water.]''
:'''White Knight:''' Agent Six!
:''[He jumps at her, she portals him away to behind Knight. Rex jumps from the water onto the bridge by Knight.]''
:'''Rex:''' You had no intention to bring her in, did you?
:'''White Knight:''' I wanted to believe you, Rex, but this is too important. She can't be controlled.
:'''Rex:''' Control... Her powers are back on. Van Kleiss.
:''[Van Kleiss arrives on flying fish EVO.]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Settle down, Breach.
:''[Chest device turns off.]''
:'''Rex:''' Let me do this. I can get through to her. Come on. It couldn't get any worse than you've already made it
:''[Knight and Six look at each other.]''
:'''White Knight:''' Form a perimeter around Breach. Van Kleiss isn't to touch her.
:''[A rock wall rises from the ground blocking Rex as he runs towards Breach. The Pack jumps down from wall to attack Rex, Six intervenes. Agents surround Breach, she tries and fails to make red portal. Screams. Van Kleiss flies in on fish, knocks down agents with bio-mechanical whip arm, shoots needles from fingers and knocks more down, fish knocks the rest down. White Knight shoots at Van Kleiss.]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' If you had any idea what I was trying to do you might even welcome it.
:'''White Knight:''' Enlighten me.
:''[Van Kleiss touches a tree and it turns into an EVO. EVO tree catches and holds White. Six and Biowulf fight, Rex and Skalamander fight.]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Enlighten you?
:''[Sticks his claws in White Knight, glowing White Knight screams.]'' All in good time, White Knight, assuming you have some left.
:''[Six throws a magnablade through Van Kleiss's bio-mechanical arm and he lets go of White.]''
:'''Six:''' ''[to White Knight]'' Go. I mean it. ''[White Knight flies off.]''
:'''Six:''' The name's Six.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' We've met.
:'''Six:''' Don't remember. ''[They fight.]''
:''[Breach on merry-go-round, turning slowly looking at the sky.
:'''Rex:''' You're just using her.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Of course I am. She knows it. Spare me the chivalry, Rex. Providence would do the same.
:'''Rex:''' Either way you slice it, she loses!
:'''Breach:''' ''[to herself]'' My two favorites. You both lie. Neither is real.
:'''Rex:''' ''[goes to her]'' Breach, I'm sorry. I meant what I said.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Words mean nothing.
:'''Rex:''' Then let this do the talking. ''[Turns on her machine, puts it into her power.]''
:''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' You just handed her a loaded gun.
:'''Rex:''' And now it's her choice how to use it.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh if only I had the chance to get through to you, Rex, to teach you how the world really works.
:''[Breach steps in front of Van Kleiss, raises her arms as if to send Rex away. Makes huge yellow portal above them.]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Our very first time traveler. You should be honored. Now Breach, if you wouldn't mind.
:''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]''
:''[Rex closes his eyes. Breach sends Van Kleiss away with yellow portal.]''
:'''Rex:''' That was... unexpected.
:''[Rex tries to turn machine off but fails.]''
:'''Rex:''' It won't turn off. I'm sorry. I, I didn't know.
:'''Breach:''' Van Kleiss made it like this so I wouldn't send him away.
:'''Rex:''' That didn't work out so well did it? Six, get everyone out of here now! ''[A big yellow dome forms around the playground where Rex and Breach stand.]''
:'''Rex:''' So, what's going to happen?
:''[Rex and Breach are about to be engulfed by Breach's out of control time portal]''
:'''Breach''': ''[she looks up]'' I don't know if any of this was real. But it was nice having a friend for a while. ''[Rex smiles, Breach hugs him as they dispensary in the golden time portal]''
:'''Rex:''' I didn't get blown up. ''[Sees a lizard.]'' Whoa! ''[Jumps away, startled.]'' Oh no, please don't let this be dino time. ''[Touches earpiece in left ear.]'' Rex to Providence, do you copy? :''[Takes earpiece out and looks at it.]'' Oh... Rex to Providence, you better be there.
:'''Providence Agent:''' Uh... we copy, Rex. We have a lock on your coordinates and are sending a jump jet.
:'''Rex:''' Is Six okay? Breach went supernova.
:'''Providence Agent:''' Someone's on the way, just hold tight. Providence out.
:''[Scene change, Rex lying on the ground.]''
:'''Rex:''' Took you long enough.
:''[Turns over and sees Providence agents, pointing guns at him.]''
:'''Providence Agent:''' Rex is onboard. Heading back to HQ.
:'''Rex:''' HQ? Ten minutes ago I was in the middle of an epic battle. You need to take me back!
:'''Providence Agent:''' Um, that battle is over.
:'''Rex:''' What happened? Is Six okay? Guys...what's going on?
:''[They arrive at HQ.]''
:'''Caesar:''' Baby brother, you're okay! ''[Runs and hugs him.]''
:'''Rex:''' Breach just sent me to nowheresville. Nothing to freak out over.
:'''Caesar:''' ''[To Providence agent.]'' You didn't tell him?
:'''Providence Agent:''' Our orders were just to bring him back.
:'''Rex:''' Tell me what? Hey, when did you... have a beard?
:'''Caesar:''' There's no easy way to tell you this, hermano. Breach didn't just send you to the middle of nowhere. You've been gone for six months.
:'''Rex:''' Six months?! So this is--
:'''Caesar:''' Technically, the future. I should warn you, there've been a few changes.
:'''Rex:''' You didn't give away my room, did you?
:'''Caesar:''' As a matter of fact, they did.
:'''Rex:''' What?! Caesar, tell me what's going on here.
:'''Caesar:''' It would be better if I showed you.
:'''Rex:''' White Knight taking visitors now?
:'''Caesar:''' I'll wait out here.
:''[Rex sees Providence agents dressed in black.]''
:'''Rex:''' Nice suits.
:''[Goes into the office.]''
:'''Rex:''' Ah... Love what you've done with the place. White?
:''[Person in chair turns around, it's a woman, not White Knight.]''
:'''Black Knight:''' Thank you, Rex. ''[She gets up and walks towards him.]'' It was a little bright for my taste. White Knight is no longer associated with this organization.
:'''Rex:''' He quit?
:'''Black Knight:''' He...attempted a hostile takeover and failed. Can I get you anything? Water? A snack?
:'''Rex:''' I don't want a snack! Where's Six? Where's Holiday!?
:'''Black Knight:''' This must upsetting to you. Change is never easy but from I understand, you've been in situations like this before. Everything's going to be fine.
:'''Rex:''' Who are you?!
:'''Black Knight:''' Someone very happy to have you back. Call me Black Knight.
==Season Three (2011-2013)==
===Back in Black===
: '''Rex''': Okay, I get what's going on here.
: '''Black Knight''': I'm relieved to hear that, Rex.
: '''Rex''': You can come out! I know you're there!
: '''Black Knight''': Rex?
: '''Rex''': We're friends, now, remember? Breach?
: '''Black Knight''': Breach isn't here, Rex. The world's changed. As soon you accept th--
: '''Rex''': No, I'm not ignoring you. It's just that you're not real.
: '''Black Knight''': I assure you I'm very real-- As is all of this.
: '''Rex''': ''[Chuckling]'' Oh, come on. It's been a fun time in the ol' Breachscape, but, you know, time to go home now.
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex''': Seen this before. Usually ends with a black hole.
: '''Black Knight''': Rex, you're disoriented. Let me--
: '''Rex''': Sorry, non-lady. No time. Got an exit to find! Shall we aprehend?
: '''Black Knight''': It won't be necessary.
: '''Caesar''': Rex! Have you lost it?
: '''Rex''': Caesar! We're in a pocket dimension! It could collapse at any second!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Caesar''': That's crazy, Rex. This is not a pocket dimension.
: '''Rex''': You're right! It's a whole alternate universe! And-- and-- and you're my Brother's evil twin! Out of the way! Six! Six! Doc!
: ''[Rex panting]''
: '''Rex''': Dr. Holiday! Doc!
: ''[Rex sighs]''
: '''Rex''': Wha-- Well, at least some things haven't changed. Whoa! Whoa! Okay, now I-- Bleh-- know I'm in an-- Aah!-- alternate universe. Unh! You can go ahead and -- Blech!-- Eat me now, please.
: '''Black Knight''': Release.
: '''Rex''': You were... saying something about changes?
: '''Black Knight''': There have been a few.
: '''Caesar''': You've got temporal lag, Rex. It's kind of like altitude sickness, only in time. Here-- This will balance your electrolytes.
: ''[Rex sighs]''
: '''Rex''': So this is really--
: '''Black Knight''': Really. Welcome to the future, Rex-- Or, rather, to the present. Without your healing abilities, Providence has embraced a new paradigm. We've moved beyond the outmoded era of "cure, contain, or kill."
: '''Rex''': And into the era of "serious leash laws".
: '''Caesar''': We used the petting zoo as our test bed. What do you think?
: '''Rex''': I think it needs a new name, 'cause, you know, now it really is one.
: '''Caesar''': We've developed new techniques for working with EVOs. It's all about understanding them better.
: '''Rex''': So, you're some sort of "EVO whisperer"?
: '''Caesar''': ''[laughs]'' It's a bit more complicated than that. You sure you're okay? ''[sighs]'' It's good to have you back, brother.
: '''Black Knight''': Family ties. They transcend even time itself.
: '''Rex''': Caesar's not my only family.
: '''Black Knight''': I'll bring you up to speed on the others. When you went M.I.A., White Knight lost his biggest weapon in the war for EVO containment.
: '''Rex''': Figures that I have to vanish for him to appreciate me.
: '''Black Knight''': White became erratic-- some might say paranoid. Directorate lost faith in his ability to lead.
: '''Rex''': Directorate? I never knew white even had a boss.
: '''Black Knight''': There are, shall we say, layers. I was named as his replacement.
: '''Rex''': Let me guess-- he didn't take it well.
: '''Black Knight''': You could say that.
: '''Providence Agent''': White Knight! Sir! Stand down!
: '''White Knight''': I'd rather go down in flames than see Providence in the hands of the enemy.
: '''Providence Agent''': He's got a bomb! Fall back! All units fall ba--
: '''Rex''': Whoa! That was--
: '''Black Knight''': Your room.
: '''Rex''': Huh? Aww, man! But... Six... Holiday... where--
: '''Black Knight''': Where do you think? They're out looking for you. Agent Six and Holiday took indefinite leave. They've been off the grid ever since. I've attempted to contact them, but no response.
: '''Rex''': Mind if... I give them a ring? Not that I don't trust you.
: '''Black Knight''': ''[sarcasm]'' But you don't trust me. Natural, given the circumstances. Be my guest. ''[after Rex gets disconnected]'' It won't take long, to locate them. Meanwhile, there are many familiar faces who will be glad to hear you're back. Which reminds me... ''[tosses Rex a sack]'' This is everything we salvaged from your room.
: '''Rex''': ''[opening the sack to find his ball]'' Huh. Talk about starting over.
: '''Black Knight''': You could you know. There's still a place for you in the--
: '''Rex''': My room. I thought you said it was trashed.
: '''Black Knight''': Rex, wait.
: '''Rex''': What's the matter, Black? This where you're hiding all your evil secrets?
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Rex''': Um... Wow!
: '''Black Knight''': This entire wing was destroyed in the blast. I had the space... repurposed.
: '''Rex''': White wouldn't even splurge for private stalls.
: '''Black Knight''': As you see, I treat my finest people to the very finest things.
: '''Rex''': Sure. I'll take one of those, please.
: '''Black Knight''': It's yours-- and anything else you'd like.
: '''Rex''': As long as I do whatever you want-- That it?
: '''Black Knight''': On the contrary-- you're a seasoned agent. I have a few boundaries, but otherwise, handle matters as you see fit.
: '''Rex''': Say I refuse.
: '''Black Knight''': Then I turn you over to mel. ''[chuckling]'' I'm kidding. You're free to leave whenever you like. But I hope you'll stay. Now, more than ever, Providence needs a Rex. So, how do you feel? Like I haven't used one of those in Six months-- Which I haven't. You mind? Bobo?
: '''Bobo''': Rex! Heard you were back. So great to see you, buddy. Whoa. Just a sec, there, pal. Gotta love those certain towelettes.
: ''[Bobo whistling]''
: '''Bobo''': What? Never seen a monkey wash his hands before?
: '''Rex''': Not this one.
: ''[Bobo munching]''
: '''Rex''': You wanna tell me what's gotten into you or what?
: '''Bobo''': What are you talking abou-- Unh! Hey!
: '''Rex''': Sorry. For a minute, I thought you were...
: '''Bobo''': Robo Bobo? Wanna check for a tv in my butt?
: '''Rex''': Pass. But come on. You've, I don't know, mellowed or something.
: '''Bobo''': Guess I just don't have a big need to act out these days, what with you and everyone gone. Plus, the employee benefits are pretty sweet.
: '''Black Knight''': Rex, we've got a little EVO problem. Providence could use your help. Ready to get back in the game?
: '''Rex''': If it involves getting out of here, that would be a "yes." You coming?
: '''Bobo''': I'll join ya on the next one. I got Tai Chi at 2:00.
: '''Rex''': Missing an EVO smackdown? That doesn't sound like you.
: '''Bobo''': Did I mention the instructor has a thing for back hair?
: '''Rex:''' Ew. Okay. That sounds like you. What is it and where do I find it?
: '''Providence Agent''': We've got an EVO in the subway tunnels, people trapped in one of the trains. The power's out down there, too.
: '''Rex:''' Sounds like a street worm. Sure it's just one? Rex to H.Q. Okay, new chief, how do you want to do this?
: '''Black Knight:''' You're the expert.
: '''Rex:''' I am? Uh, I mean, of course I am. It's just that Six usually--
: '''Black Knight:''' You don't need help, Rex. Handle it as you see fit. Black, out.
: '''Rex:''' What's this strange feeling that's come upon me? Could it be...
: ''[Rex shudders]''
: '''Rex''': Responsibility?! Okay. Assemble your guys over there. Be ready for me. Should the guys grab flashlight. Or... better. Not a bad pre-show. Now for the main event.
: '''Providence Agent:''' How did you know?
: '''Rex:''' These things usually travel in pairs. I used lights from my builds to make it think I was another worm. Have your bug net handy. They're so cute after I shut them down.
: '''Rex:''' Sorry B.K. No can cure.
: '''Black Knight:''' Understood. Our team will take it from here.
: '''Rex:''' Um, take what where?
: '''Providence Agent:''' Move into the vehicle! Move... into... the vehicle! Hit her again!
: '''Rex:''' Um, what just happend?
: '''Black Knight:''' That's all for now, Rex. Nicely done.
: '''Rex:''' Hm. Wait. What are you gonna do with it?
: '''Providence Agent:''' Standard rehab and re-lo. It's all very humane.
: '''Rex:''' I'd love to see that. Mind if I tag along?
: '''Black Knight:''' Sorry, Rex. Authorized personnel only. You've done your job. Now let the team theirs.
: '''Rex:''' But--
: '''Black Knight:''' Boundaries, Rex.
: '''Rex:''' Boundaries. Got it. Rex, out.
: '''Caesar:''' Main container reached. Attach stabilizer ring.
: '''Rex:''' Humane? Yeah, right.
: ''[Bobo yawns]''
: '''Bobo:''' See? Great employee benefits.
: '''Rex:''' Yeah. Right. Hey, you got a tag sticking out in the back. Mind if I--
: '''Bobo:''' Thanks, pal. Well, off to yoga.
: '''Caesar:''' You really shouldn't be here, hermano.
: '''Rex:''' The petting zoo? The worm? My monkey practicing good hygiene? You're using that thing to control my friend!
: '''Caesar:''' He's still the same Bobo you know and love. He just need a few boundaries.
: '''Rex:''' He's not the same, and neither are you! You should hear yourself!
: '''Caesar:''' Making the world safer isn't possible without some form of control. And you'd better get some control of yourself, mijo.
: '''Rex:''' Or what? You'll use that thing on me?
: '''Caesar:''' Open your eyes to all the good we're accomplishing. Isn't this better than smacking them with your giant fists?
: '''Rex:''' That's combat! I protect people and property! Okay, property, not so much, but this? If you can't see the difference, then maybe I never knew you at all!
: '''Caesar:''' It doesn't matter. I have work to do.
: '''Rex:''' So do I!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Uses his Smack Hands to smash everything around him]''
: '''Caesar:''' Rex! Stop!
: '''Black Knight:''' Snooping around, Rex? See, that's another one of my boundaries.
: '''Rex:''' White Knight may have had his issues, but he never resorted to anything like this!
: '''Black Knight:''' I never planned to do this, Rex, but you've become a danger.
: '''Rex''' ''[shocked]'': Caesar! Think! You can't do this!
: '''Caesar:''' Of course I'm thinking. This is the logical conclusion to what we started.
: '''Rex:''' The logical-- Aaaah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Raaah! Aah!
: ''[Caesar blasts the mind-control laser, causing Rex to scream and groan in pain]''
: '''Caesar:''' Sorry, Rex. You'll thank me later.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' You... better... believe I will!
: '''Caesar:''' Please don't resist! It's only painful if you struggle!
: '''Black Knight:''' What's taking so long?
: '''Caesar:''' He's fighting it! His nantic energy is spiking off the scale!
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Black Knight:''' Boost power.
: '''Caesar:''' It's not safe to--
: '''Black Knight:''' It's for the best.
: ''[Caesar increases power, causing Rex's nanites to go haywire as a tear fall down his cheek, heartbroken about his own brother betraying him]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Manages to overpower the mind-control machine, much to the surprise and wonder of Caesar and Black Knight]''
: '''Rex:''' You just drew a line in the sand, bro! ''[runs off]''
: '''Black Knight:''' You'd better have a backup.
: '''Caesar:''' The prototype. Not portable, but more than enough power, even for him.
: '''Black Knight:''' Get it ready.
: '''Rex:''' Unh!
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Rex:''' No mood to get slimed right now, mel!
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Rex:''' What happened to your EVO control?
: '''Black Knight:''' ''[after Black Knight reactivates Mel's control]'' A demonstration. You know what would happen without our influence.
: '''Rex:''' So, you're hijacking its brain, like you tried to do with mine.
: '''Black Knight:''' That won't be necessary if you'll willingly cooperate.
: '''Rex:''' Translation-- if I do everything you say.
: '''Black Knight:''' You've seen how we can work together. Providence still needs you. There will always be a few EVOs we can't control.
: '''Rex:''' Yeah. I'm one of them.
: '''Black Pawns:''' Shall we pursue?
: '''Black Knight:''' Most definitely.
: '''Rex:''' Gangway! Coming through! Huh? No! Huh. Black Pawns. Overdoing the whole theme, don't you think?
: ''[Rex groaning]''
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Rex:''' Yah! I'm getting beat up by the chess club!
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Black Knight:''' We... got off on the wrong foot. Stow the hardware and come with us. You have my word you won't be harmed. We can start over-- the right way.
: '''Bobo:''' You mind? You're interrupting the enjoyment of my employee benefits.
: ''[Rex sighs]''
: ''[Rex panting]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Black Knight:''' ''[after Rex was tranquilized]'' Excellent work. Take him to the lab.
: ''[Rex groans]''
: ''[Rex sighs]''
: '''Rex:''' What? No way! You're not turning my brain to mashed potatoes! Doc?!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Welcome back, Rex.
: '''Six:''' Good to see you, kid.
: '''Rex:''' Before I blame this on a Burrito-induced nightmare, will someone please tell me-- What... Is... Going... On?!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' What do you think? We've been looking for you.
: '''Six:''' We knew Providence might find you first. Fortunately, we planted a mole.
: '''Bobo:''' Ehh. Rex! Put 'er there!
: '''Rex:''' Uhh! You didn't wash! Oh! You didn't wash! But that means... that he really was... Robo Bobo?
: '''Bobo:''' In the flesh.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Literally. I gave it a biological upgrade, complete with his own nanites and... fleas, ticks, lice, chigger mites.
: '''Bobo:''' What can I say? I'm an ecosystem.
: '''Six:''' It's enough to fool your brother's equipment. The robot is only providing limited intel. But one thing is sure-- new Providence is about more than just getting EVOs off the streets.
: '''Rex:''' I saw it. Whatever they're doing over there is seriously messed up.
: '''Six:''' That's why we've set up our own operation.
: '''Rex:''' ''[Long pause as Rex sees the new HQ]'' Whoa! Where did you get all of this?
: '''Six:''' We have our sources.
: '''Rex:''' So, we're like super-secret spies now? Cool!
:''[Rex sighs]''
: '''Rex:''' It's too bad about White, though. I never thought I'd say it, but I'm gonna miss that pasty guy.
: '''White Knight:''' ''[White enters]'' How touching, Rex. I, on the other hand, have rather enjoyed the last six Rex-free months. Now... If we're done with the love-in, we have work to do.
: '''Rex:''' It really can't get any better than this. Oh, except one thing-- Can I get a TV?
===Crash and Burn===
*From this episode, Rex can create two builds at once
:''[Bobo yawns]''
:'''Bobo:''' They say nothin' good happens after midnight. And, you know, they're right.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm worried about you, Bobo. Since we left Providence, you've been staying out every night.

:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex is fine. He just needs time to adjust to our new setting. Rex? It's Holiday. Are you there?
:'''Rex:''' Hey, doc. What up?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Just checking in. Everything okay?
:'''Rex:''' Better than okay. I'm about to set a new land-speed record'
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' That wasn't what I meant. How are you feeling?
:'''Rex:''' Appreciate the concern, but the only thing on my mind right now is the need for speed. Apparently, I'm not alone. I'll call you back. Hey! Slow down! I want to talk to you! Ah. You want to play chicken. Doc? Bobo? I'm getting blitzed by some bikers. Aah!
:'''Rand:''' Might as well give up! I won't quit! I'm a relentless, never-say-die, nonstop-- Uh, hey, wait a minute. Who are you?
:'''Rex:''' Think you could have asked me that before trying to run me down?
:'''Rand:''' Ooh! My fault. I thought you were one of us.
:'''Rex:''' "One of us"? What is this?
:'''Rand:''' Sorry, dude. No time to chat. Peace.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, like I'm gonna take that for an answer. A street race? Or a demolition derby?
:''[Lance grunts]''
:''[Lance groans]''
:'''Lance:''' Gonna need a bike.
:'''Rex:''' Can't believe you survive that! You must be the luckiest guy on the-- These are nanites.
:''[Lance groans]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Oh, come on!
:'''Six:''' Something wrong?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Prototypes. I prefer tried-and-tested. And I don't even know what we're going to do with half of this stuff.
:'''Bobo:''' You're goin' soft, gettin' worked over by a bunch of goofballs on motorcycles.
:'''Rex:''' They had weapons.
:'''Bobo:''' Last time I checked, so did you.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, but not while I'm on my bike. I'm strictly one at a time.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The nanites that have infected his body are slowly poisoning him. I've never seen anything like it.
:'''Rex:''' Do what you can, Doc? I'm gonna go out and look for those racers.
:'''Bobo:''' Sounds dangerous.
:'''Rex:''' Sure, Bobo. You can come, too. The nanites we found on the biker gave off a different energy signature. Gonna use one of Holiday's new toys to try to scan for it. A bunch of them. And they're moving fast.
:'''Bobo:''' Then step on it! Maybe Holiday has a point about prototypes!
:'''Rex:''' Or maybe they're not on the streets. I'll watch the road. You watch the screen.
:'''Bobo:''' Gotta warn you-- Chimps make bad navigators!
:'''Rex:''' Just do it!
:'''Bobo:''' Hmm? Left! You're goin' left! Make a right! Another right!
:'''Rex:''' Which way?
:'''Bobo:''' I don't know! That way-ish! Wah! Like I said-- Monkeys make great navigators! This is your biker gang?
:'''Rex:''' They had weapons before I'm telling you-- They're tough!
:'''Bobo:''' If you say so.
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:'''Bobo:''' Wall.
:''[Bobo and Rex grunts]''
:'''Moss:''' That's some fancy ridin'. You following us, kid?
:'''Rex:''' Still think they don't look tough?
:'''Bobo:''' I take it back.
:'''Moss:''' Who are you, kid? 'Cause whoever you are, you're not bad.
:'''Rand:''' You're awesome! Where'd you learn to ride like that? Anybody with that kind of skill should be with us. Yeah!
:'''Moss:''' What's your secret?
:'''Rex:''' No secret. I'm just built that way.
:'''Lunk:''' Is that guy from TV-- The one who fights EVOs.
:'''Bobo:''' Five bucks for pictures, ten bucks for autographs.
:'''Rand:''' A talking monkey! Outrageous! I gotta have one. Is he for sale?
:'''Bobo:''' Brother, you can't afford me.
:'''Rex:''' You guys seem tight-- For guys who try to kill each other.
:'''Rand:''' We're not killers. We're racers. This is a legitimate sport.
:'''Moss:''' It is what it is. Our races aren't for the weak. Name's Moss. You've met Rand.
:'''Rex:''' He tried to blow me up.
:'''Rand:''' I missed. You're welcome. Come on, don't leave me hangin'.
:'''Moss:''' Never met a celebrity who could ride.
:'''Rex:''' I caught you, didn't I?
:'''Moss:''' But are you tough enough try me?
:'''Rex:''' Try me.
:'''Bobo:''' You gotta fight back?
:'''Rex:''' With what?
:'''Bobo:''' Oh, brother. Fine, leave it to Chimpy. Aah! I'll take that. Phbt!
:'''Rex:''' Something else on the map-- Moving fast! And it's big!
:'''Providence Agent:''' Halt! You kids! Pull over! Now!
:'''Moss:''' Cops!
:'''Bobo:''' Worst than cops-- Providence.
:'''Rex:''' The bikes give off a nanite signature. They must have tracked it.
:'''Providence Agent:''' Rex, what are you doing here?
:'''Rex:''' Research. You don't want to get caught up in this! Back off now! Sorry, guys. Have Black Knight sent me the bill.
:'''Rand:''' Ha! No way! You want to beat me, you gotta step your game up. Aah!
:''[Rand groans]''
:'''Rex:''' Rand!
:'''Bobo:''' Don't stop! Kid's wearing armor. He's fine.
:'''Rex:''' No! Something's wrong!
:''[Rand groans]''
:'''Rex:''' What is this thing? Doc? Get over here quick. We've got another one.
:'''Biker gangs:''' WHOO-HOO-HOO!
:''[Biker gangs laughs]''
:'''Biker gangs:''' Yeah!
:'''Moss:''' We thought you'd bailed on us. Where were you?
:'''Rex:''' Watching a doctor try to save Rand's life.
:'''Moss:''' Racers get sick sometimes. It's part of the life.
:'''Rex:''' Those nanite power sources-- you got to stop using them. To feel one with the road, that rush? So some people get sick. When we're on our rides, nothing else matters.
:'''Rex:''' Your rides are killing you! You're gonna be dead-- All of you! And for what? So you can go a little faster?
:'''Moss:''' We need those things to ride. You know what it's like.
:'''Lunk:''' Please. Don't take our bikes away.
:'''Rex:''' Nobody's going to take your bikes. But I need to know where you got those nanites.
:'''Lunk:''' ''[sighs]'' A guy named Valve. He supplies the superchargers.
:'''Moss:''' You're wasting your time. Valve never talks to anybody.
:'''Rex:''' He'll talk to me.
:'''Bobo:''' Been in a lot of bad biker dives, but this is the worst I've ever seen.
:'''Valve:''' Enter, strangers. The biker will see you now. Please, sit. May I offer you some tea?
:'''Rex:''' I'll pass.
:'''Valve:''' Suit yourself. I find a good cup of tea soothing-- for the body and the soul.
:''[Valve slurps]''
:'''Valve:''' You don't have to tell the biker why you're here. The biker can tell. You wish to buy a supercharger.
:''[Valve slurps]''
:'''Rex:''' Your superchargers are killing people. It's gonna stop.
:''[Valve breathes deeply]''
:'''Valve:''' Hmm. That sounds like a challenge.
:'''Rex:''' Maybe it is. I'll race you for them. If I win, you hand over your entire stockpile.
:'''Valve:''' Shh! Your answer is on the wind.
:'''Rex:''' You're... not right in the head, are you?
:'''Valve:''' When the wind commands, the impossible game must be gamed. The challenge is accepted. We will race for the superchargers. And when the biker wins... It won't matter.
:'''Rex:''' Why is that?
:'''Valve:''' Because you'll be dead. Let the race begin.
:'''Moss:''' This is his own private track. He knows it better than anyone. You can still back out-- Probably.
:'''Rex:''' And let people become poison, like Valve? No. I can take him. Just give me something to hit him with. You guys are walking arsenals. You don't have anything?
:'''Moss:''' You didn't think we'd need 'em today.
:'''Bobo:''' Oh, boy.
:'''Six:''' Message from Holiday. The two sick teens have stabilized, but she's still a ways from finding a cure.
:'''Rex:''' It was the only weapon I could find, okay? Can I borrow the sword?
:'''Six:''' Use your own.
:'''Rex:''' On wheels? It's not gonna happen.
:'''Six:''' What's stopping you?
:'''Rex:''' Well, for one thing, I-- Um, not sure exactly.
:'''Six:''' What have I been teaching you? Focus on what you want and make it happen. No more excuses.
:''[Bobo munching]''
:''[Bobo munching]''
:'''Valve:''' You're lucky. One the very best get a chance at this track.
:'''Rex:''' Then I should fit right in. Rules of the game-- ten laps. Cross the finish line before the biker, and you may have them.
:'''Rex:''' So, is the wind talking to you now?
:'''Valve:''' The wind commands the Biker to destroy you. The Biker is happy to oblige.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Bobo:''' You gonna help him?
:'''Six:''' He's doing fine.
:'''Bobo:''' Are you watchin' the same race I am?
:''[Valve grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' You're in trouble, Rex! No. Keep it together. Keep... it... together. Six said it-- Focus. Focus. Focus!
:''[Valve laughs]''
:'''Valve:''' Oblivion.
:'''Six:''' Like I sad-- He's doing fine.
:'''Rex:''' Double-up! Where have you been all my life?
:''[Valve grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Cute toy. But I like mine better.
:'''Valve:''' Aah!
:'''Rex:''' Was there any doubt?
:'''Bobo:''' Yeah, plenty.
:''[Valve panting]''
:'''Rex:''' We had the deal. Remember?
:'''Valve:''' Like the storm that changes directions on a whim, the biker is changing the deal. 'Cause the biker-- ''[grunts]'' Doesn't like! ''[grunts]'' The biker-- ''[grunts]'' never loses! ''[grunts]'' Unh!
:'''Rex:''' First time for everything. Thank you, Six.
:'''Six:''' It was all you, kid.
:'''Moss:''' Rand!
:'''Biker gangs:''' Oh, Rand! Good to see you!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Completely detoxified. In a couple days, they'll be back to full strength. Those could be useful at the new base.
:'''Moss:''' You can't stop us from riding.
:'''Rex:''' What's stopping you? You can still ride. You just won't be poisoned by nanites. Come on. Race you back to the garage.
:''[Rex rides off]''
:'''Moss:''' ''[Chasing after Rex]'' You heard the man. Hit it!
:'''Six:''' You do realize we just turned a group of reckless teenage boys loose on the city.
:'''Bobo:''' All in a day's work.
===Heroes United, Part 1===
: ''[In New York City, a strange white sphere appears in the sky, imposing several sporadic shocks that hit a bridge and a building and several people begin to run desperately. At The Plant, a light turns on and Rex is running and stops, with the light focusing on him, a figure passes behind Rex who smiles and builds his Funchucks and attacks the figure behind him who jumps dodging his attack and landing behind Rex, the light turns on and reveals itself to be Agent Six.]''
: '''Six:''' You need to pay attention.
: ''[Six pulls out his Magna Blades]''
: '''Rex:''' I'll tell you what I need.
: ''[Rex attacks Six who blocks his attacks]''
: '''Six:''' More training? Your swing is getting a little sloppy.
: '''Rex:''' Not what I was thinking, but thanks for the tip.
: ''[Rex tries to attack Six who jumps, dodging the blow. Six tries to attack Rex who builds his Punk busters and jumps back]''
: '''Rex:''' Two words for you, Six- - Theme song!
: '''Six:''' Theme song?
: ''[Jump on top of the cabin where Holiday is]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Break my stuff, and I will ruin you.
: '''Rex:''' Things have been pretty Good for me lately, I have a home, friends, family. The only thing I need now is my own theme song.
: '''Bobo:''' I got your Theme Song. Phbt! Phbt! ''[Bobo makes farting noises.]''
: '''Rex:''' I'm serious. Every hero should have a theme song. I've been working on one. Thought you probably wouldn't hear over the ringing in your ears. It started when the nanites went “Ka-Pow!” upon the scene Transforming all the life on earth like nothing that you’ve seen. But there’s one lucky Hombre who can make them build machines, He's Gen Rex! Ohh!
: '''Six:''' ''[Six kicks Rex backwards]'' Its... Catchy. It's good to see you happy, Rex. Just remember this world, right now, all of those things can be taken away in an instant.
: '''Rex:''' If that's your attempt to inspire me, Six, you need a little more practice yourself.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' How quickly can we get to Manhattan?
: ''[Young Woman gasps]''
: '''Young Woman:''' Providence! It'll be okay now, sweetie.
: '''Black Knight:''' Doctor Salazar, What am I looking at?
: '''Caesar:''' You want the truth? For the first time since I was six years old, I haven't a clue what I'm looking at.
: '''Rex:''' What is going on here?
: '''Bobo:''' Don't know, but I wish I'd brought my tanning butter.
: '''Six:''' Cut the chatter.
: '''Rex:''' I would, but ripping on Black Knight is the only thing keeping me from freaking out. This isn't our usual deal. Just make sure Providence doesn't shoot me in my butt while I'm off saving theirs. Huh? So... I smash that? Ohh!
: '''Bobo:''' Coming back around, kid. I think it likes you.
: '''Rex:''' Holiday, what is it, and where do I hit it?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' I don't know. I-- Wait. I'm picking up Bio-organic energy inside the event.
: ''[A mysterious figure came out of the event, Rex immediately responded and then releases his Smack Hands, but the mysterious figure caught Rex's attack and then counter attacked. Thus, sending Rex flying.]''
: '''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Have anything to say for yourself before I commence with the face-stomping?
: '''Humungousaur:''' Yeah. You just made a humungous mistake!
: ''[Humungousaur grunts]''
: ''[Humumgousaur grunts]''
: '''Humungousaur:''' Stay down if you know what's good for you.
: '''Rex:''' I'll show you what I'm good at, feo!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, I'm getting more fluctuations in the event. Something's coming out.
: '''Rex:''' I see it, doc.
: ''[A creature flies out of the portal]''
: '''Humungousaur:''' ''[after being hit]'' You and your partners call it quits right now, and I'll keep the powder rising to a minimum!
: '''Rex:''' I was gonna say the same thing, only in Spanish! ''[hits Humungosaur again]'' ''[Humungosaur goes flying]'' ''[talking to Agent Six]''
: '''Rex:''' You take the hunk of junk, Six! "Big ugly" is mine!
: '''Humungousaur:''' Hmm. You wanna learn the hard way? Lesson one-- Dangerous aliens are not welcome on my planet!
: '''Black Pawn:''' Black Knight, target locked and weapons are charged. Firing on your mark.
: '''Black Knight:''' Keep everything we've got focused on that rift. Nothing else comes out of there. Pawns, get those EVOs alive. I need answers. Caesar--
: '''Caesar:''' The physics are amazing. Like a star in collapse, it-- I'll buzz you back.
: '''Black Knight:''' Don't hang up on me, Caesar. Bring Salazar to me-- Now!
: '''White Knight:''' Hands full? My team is here to help. You'd be well advised to let them.
: '''Black Knight:''' You'd be well advised to get off my screens, White Knight. I'll see you tried for treason.
: '''White Knight:''' While you're filing the paperwork, we'll be saving New York. Join us or stay out of our way!
: ''[Rex coughs]''
: '''Rex:''' You can punch. I'll give you that.
: ''[Humungousaur groans]''
: '''Humungousaur:''' You alien wannabes should know better by now-- Mess with Ben, you get the ten.
: '''Rex:''' Aliens?! The ten?! Great-- Another insane EVO. Providence is all over your energy-weapon whatever, so let's see if I can't knock some normal back into you.
: '''Humungousaur:''' Good luck with that. Ugh!
: '''Rex:''' Okay. That's weird.
: ''[Diamondhead grunts]''
: '''Diamondhead:''' What did you just do to me?
: '''Rex:''' Not sure, but I like it.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Holiday, are you seeing this? "Creature feature" just went bling on me.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Be careful, Rex. This is something we've never seen before.
: ''[Diamondhead grunts]''
: '''Diane Farrah:''' Diane Farrah, broadcasting to you live from what appears to be the end of the world.
: '''Alpha:''' So many of us. What has happened here?
: '''Six:''' Holiday, what am I looking at here?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Preliminary scans say non-organic. It appears to be entirely mechanical. I'll need a closer look.
: '''Six:''' I'll see what I can do.
: ''[Diamondhead coughs]''
: '''Diamondhead:''' Lucky punch.
: '''Rex:''' Don't believe in luck. Now hold still so I can cure you.
: '''Diamondhead:''' You're talking crazy, and I'm not sick. We're wasting time.
: '''Lodestar:''' Metal, meet magnetism.
: '''Rex:''' Magnets, huh? Well, there's no metal in pavement.
: '''Lodestar:''' Aah!
: '''Six:''' It's gone, but I found this.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm not exactly sure what we're looking at here. I don't even know if this is made with an element I've ever seen before. Getting some kind of a residual nanite signature, but this is definitely not an EVO. Caesar-- We could use a little help here. What is it?
: '''Caesar:''' The fragment came from the machine.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Can you tell us anything about it?
: '''Caesar:''' Yes, but not right now.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' For the record, most scientists are not like that.
: '''Alpha:''' Him. Father?!
: '''Six:''' We're not finished yet.
: '''Lodestar:''' Ow!
: '''Rex:''' Huh?!
: '''Rex and Lodestar:''' Time-out! Innocents!
: '''Diane Farrah:''' Thank you. You-- Who are you?
: '''Rath:''' Seriously?! I'm the cat who's all that-- The Rath attack! There are about a hundred other things.
: '''Rex:''' Time-in! Thanks for the assist, but say adios to your nanites for real, El Gato.
: '''Rath:''' Will you stop that?
: '''Rex:''' You... you're not an EVO?!
: '''Rath:''' Let me tell you something, robot boy! I have no clue where an EVO is. I'm just trying to do my thing.
: '''Rex:''' Destroy our city?
: '''Rath:''' Destroy?! You really haven't heard off me?
: '''Ben:''' I'm Ben Tennyson. Ben 10? Like, the biggest hero in the world?
: '''Rex:''' Six!
: '''Six:''' Everybody down!
: '''Rex:''' Six! Six, hold on! Holiday, Six is down! Six is down! This is all your fault! Holiday?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm doing everything I can, Rex. We have to focus on the bigger picture. Six would want us to.
: '''Rex:''' Figures the only time I do what Six would want, he's in a coma.
: '''White Knight:''' I'll be having the pleasure of helping Providence figure out how to close the rift. The rest of you can deal with that machine.
: '''Rex:''' It got blown to bits along with Six, remember?
: '''White Knight:''' Don't be so sure. Someone needs to find out what that is and where it went.
: '''Ben:''' I can do that.
: '''Bobo:''' You-- Ain't doing nothing but sitting pretty and shutting up.
: '''Rex:''' And if Six of them pull through, you won't even be able to do that.
: '''Ben:''' I'm sorry about your friend, honestly. Obviously, he's important to you. But I have no clue what's even happening here. I've never heard of Providence or EVOs or-- One minute I'm doing a TV interview. The next, hole in the ky, flash a light and I'm punching out a mecha monster. Then I end up in a world where nobody knows me.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' He might actually be telling the truth. Ben's nanite absorption level indicates he came through that rift without any.
: '''Rex:''' I thought White Knight was the only living thing on Earth that's nanite-free.
: '''Ben:''' So you mean I have those things in me now? Great. Where's my space suit?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You'll live. Still doesn't explain how you got here.
: '''Ben:''' We're probably looking at a parallel world thing.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Parallel worlds are a theory, and a shaky one at that.
: '''Ben:''' Are you serious? I go home all the time. Maybe if you knew where that mech alien was from, it might help prove--
: '''Rex:''' Quit talking!
: '''Ben:''' Exactly. Nothing's gonna get answered sitting around here.
: '''Rex:''' In case you hadn't noticed, we're holding you under house arrest.
: '''Ben:''' You aren't holding me. I was staying to see how I could help.
: '''Big Chill:''' You aren't the only person worried about someone close to you.
: '''Rex:''' I got this.
: '''White Knight:''' Rex, don't! I hate kids.
: '''Caesar:''' Nanite Cloud. These are being drawn in from the atmosphere. Now where are you? So it is you. This is most disturbing.
: '''Rex:''' Why don't you just go back where you came from?
: '''Big Chill:''' I'm trying to, you do? Oh no.
: '''Rex:''' What?
: '''Ben:''' Mr. Smoothie isn't here. That's messed up.
: '''Rex:''' My partner is in a coma. If you're stressing over a frozen drink, you are totally getting punk-fusted.
: '''Ben:''' We're in Bellwood, my hometown, where it should be. But it's all different. Part of me hoped it wouldn't be, but this pretty much proves it.
: '''Rex:''' This doesn't prove anything!
: '''Ben:''' You know the friend you care about? Well, I have a cousin, a grandfather, a best friend that I care about! They don't exist here! I may never see them again! I'm totally alone! So go ahead! Do your worst.
: '''Rex:''' Maybe we can... help each other.
: '''Ben:''' You'd do that? What's that sound?
: '''Rex:''' My brother.
: '''Ben:''' Is he like you?
: '''Rex:''' Uh, no. Caesar's a little crazy and he's working for the wrong side, but, otherwise, not so bad.
: '''Ben:''' What constitutes "not so bad" here on opposite world?
: '''Caesar:''' No! We need that!
: '''Rex:''' To blow my head off?
: '''Caesar:''' To stop that!
: '''Rex:''' What is that?
: '''Caesar:''' A bad, bad thing.
: '''Alpha:''' Why would you speak of me so, father? I am your Alpha. I came home. You are pleased?
: '''Caesar:''' No. Not especially.
: ''[Caesar grunts]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Alpha:''' What has happened here? Why so many brothers?
: '''Caesar:''' We had an accident.
: '''Alpha:''' The bodies I built, father-- they still do not last. But my brothers are free. I can control them. They could help make me complete. Aah!
: '''Caesar:''' Rex, stay back!
: '''Alpha:''' I am still weak, father. I need more. Will you help me live?
: '''Caesar:''' I don't believe so, Alpha.
: '''Alpha:''' That... is a very disappointing response.
: '''Diamondhead:''' Then you really won't like this one!
: ''[Diamondhead grunts]''
: '''Caesar:''' Don't let it touch him!
: '''Alpha:''' You control nanites, yet you are human. How is this possible? Tell me the secret.
: '''Rex:''' Uh, Caesar... What is that thing? Why did it call you "father"?
: '''Caesar:''' It's migrating. We have to follow it-- Now! These were gathered from the area of the space-time rift, and you'll find them everywhere Alpha goes.
: '''Ben:''' I take it those are nanites?
: '''Caesar:''' Dead nanites, drained by the entity you just fought and, incidentally, the thing that dragged you here from your Earth.
: '''Rex:''' His Earth? He really is from a parallel world?
: '''Ben:''' Science class much?
: '''Caesar:''' I believe it's been searching for a way home. It was possibly attracted to your weapon before it found its way here. A powerful device, no doubt.
: '''Ben:''' It's called the Ultimatrix. It has the DNA of a million aliens.
: '''Rex:''' Ri-i-i-ght. Aliens. And leprechauns gave me these goggles! I'm curious how big brother knows about something from a parallel dimension.
: '''Caesar:''' Because I sent it there. In the early days of the Nanite Program, our goal was simple- - Construct micromachines to cure diseases, grow new cells, regenerate bones. But there was a control issue. Some thought a human-machine link was the answer. Others proposed that the machines could control themselves. I was in the latter camp. I developed the Alpha to command other nanites. To maximize its effectiveness, I had to program Alpha to think for itself.
: '''Ben:''' Does a long explanation mean something bad on your Earth, too?
: '''Rex:''' Yep.
: '''Caesar:''' Alpha developed its own consciousness. It evolved into a unique life form and wanted a body, but whatever it built burnt out. So, when Alpha attempted possessing living things, Alpha had to be eliminated. So, I built a dimensional disruptor.
: '''Ben:''' That sounds like a Null Void gun. We've got those on my Earth, too.
: '''Caesar:''' I designed it to send the Alpha to an empty space where it wouldn't do any more damage. That's what I was attempting to do again-- Until you destroyed it.
: '''Ben:''' But the Null Void isn't empty. It's a prison for intergalactic criminals.
: '''Caesar:''' Hmm. I see. Then, clearly, it found a host within a mechanical one. Alpha did always have a way with machines. It's been gaining mass and energy from machines and other nanites. It's able to stabilize a host body, there's no limit to the amount of damage it can cause.
: '''Rex:''' So, just cook up another bazooka thingy, and let's go zap it!
: '''Caesar:''' Too late for that, Rex! Ilo siento, mijo!
: '''Rex:''' Tell me that's a new weapon! Caesar! Eww! Do... you... have any idea what it smells like in there, dude?
: '''Ben:''' I'm sure you can handle a little arborian musk to save your nuts and bolts... Dude.
: '''Rex:''' Sorry. Thanks. I'm just-- Ugh! This day started off perfectly. Now there's aliens, my partner's in a coma, and my brother's trying to kill me.
: '''Ben:''' Maybe he was trying to protect us. Alpha was right there, and now it's not.
: '''Rex:''' You're one of those glass-half-full guys, aren't you?
: '''Ben:''' Here on "Crazy Earth", why not?
: '''Rex:''' Holiday is Six--?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' He's the same, but the Knights have figured out how to close the Rift. You need to get Mister Ten back to New York if he ever wants to see his home again.
: '''Rex:''' Figures. Just when I almost considered liking you.
: '''Ben:''' Hold on a second. You think I'm leaving you like this? This might not be my Earth, but it's still Earth-- Sort of.
: '''Rex:''' Thanks, but this is my problem, not yours.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, we need you back at base. It's here.
===Heroes United, Part 2===
:'''Alpha:''' Come to me, my siblings.
:''[Dr. Holiday smooches]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I'll be back.
:'''Alpha:''' The nanites in those creatures-- They are different, powerful. Your nanites are weak. I have no use for you. Where is the boy?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' His nanites are off limits!
:''[Dr. Holiday straining]''
:''[Dr. Holiday groans]''
:'''Rex:''' Feel like giving me a hand?
:'''Ben:''' How about four?
:'''Rex:''' I'm starting to like the way you think, Ben 10.
:''[Four Arms grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Alpha:''' You cannot keep me from what I seek.
:'''Rex:''' My brother? Look around! He's not here!
:'''Alpha:''' The father is redundant now that I found you.
:'''Rex:''' Aah!
:'''Alpha:''' I cannot merge! What makes you so special, human? Yes! You shelter an Omega.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex!
:'''Rex:''' Ya-a-a-h! That was my leg!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Your move.
:'''Ben:''' This brother wants to blow you up, and she's your friend? You might be safer on my Earth.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex can lose his builds relatively pain-free.
:'''Ben:''' Are you seriously gonna just wait around?
:'''Rex:''' It wants nanites-- My nanites. Holiday thinks it'll come back for me, but, yeah, I'd rather go after the thing, knock it into another dimension.
:'''Ben:''' But your bio-whatevers need a break. I get it.
:'''Bobo:''' Ya missed.
:'''Ben:''' At least you hit the rim that time.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, thanks.
:'''Ben:''' So, what's happened to you, anyways?
:'''Rex:''' I was gonna ask you the same thing.
:'''Ben:''' It started when the Omnitrix fell out of the sky. I was ten years old.
:'''Rex:''' Six years ago, the Nanite Event changed everything.
:'''Ben:''' And there's alien DNA in the Omnitrix.
:'''Rex:''' And that's how I can build stuff with the micromachines in my body.
:'''Ben:''' Now Kevin, Gwen, and I are the plumbers.
:'''Rex:''' Plumbers? I thought "Providence" was a dumb name.
:''[Rex and Ben laughs]''
:'''Rex:''' Nice assist.
:'''Ben:''' That's how we get it done.
:'''White Knight:''' Satscan just picked up the Alpha. It's at the bug jar.
:'''Rex:''' The bug jar is shielded.
:'''White Knight:''' Not anymore.
:'''Rex:''' So much for waiting. Let's do this!
:''[Ben sniffs]''
:'''Ben:''' Why does my jacket smell like bananas?
:'''Rex:''' Ugh! This feels tight.
:'''Bobo:''' You guys are our best hope? We're doomed.
:'''Ben:''' If this is the bug jar--
:'''Rex:''' Then where are the bugs?
:'''Diamondhead:''' Whoa. What do you call that?
:'''White Knight:''' I call it the entire nanite population of the bug jar.
:'''Alpha:''' The power to change life itself-- What foolishness to give my brothers such a command.
:'''Rex:''' Preaching into the choir, buddy.
:'''White Knight:''' Don't let it get to Rex! If it drains his nanites--
:'''Diamondhead:''' Game over-- Understood.
:'''Rex:''' It already tried to eat me. That didn't work.
:'''White Knight:''' That thing was made to control machines, and until it burns through them, it's got every active nanite in the bug jar at its command. You think you can stop that?
:'''Rex and Diamondhead:''' We can try!
:'''Ben:''' That thing just hacked my watch!
:'''Rex:''' You're going to run out of nanites eventually.
:'''Alpha:''' Incorrect, Thanks to the one thing left on this Earth that can create them-- Your Omega. They thought it could replace me. Now it will make me whole.
:'''Rex:''' Aah! I could use an alien right now!
:''[White Knight screams]''
:'''Ben:''' Great idea, but a certain nanite monster busted my watch!
:'''Rex:''' Do something-- Anything! Do something better!
:'''Ben:''' I could try calling it names!
:'''Rex:''' Let... me... go! Aah!
:''[Rex breathing heavily]''
:'''Rex:''' As long as I fight it, it's like the Alpha and Omega cancel each other out.
:'''Alpha:''' An alternate path is required.
:'''Ben:''' Aah! Stop! He did it again!
:'''Rex:''' No! It's worse!
:'''Alpha:''' Your machine is most interesting. Perhaps within I can find a suitable host.
:''[Alpha Heatblast roars]''
:'''Ben:''' Can he do that?
:'''Rex:''' I think he just did.
:'''Ben and Rex''': Aah!
:'''Ben:''' I think you're really fried at this time. Aah!
:'''Rex:''' Hey! It's me you want.
:'''Alpha Heatblast:''' You presume so much, brother. Organics who rely on machines for their power, I don't need. The machines themselves-- Now, those I will have.
:'''Rex:''' Machines not sold separately, Alfalfa. And stop calling me your brother!
:''[Alpha Four Arms growls]''
:'''Ben:''' Okay. You've got to admit that looks pretty cool. Should I try those insults now?
:''[Alpha Four Arms growls]''
:'''Rex:''' Aah! Ugh!
:''[Shocksquatch roars]''
:'''Shocksquatch''': Wow, this is unexpected.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Well, blast it or something!
:'''Shocksquatch:''' I have no idea what this alien does. I've never seen it before.
:'''Rex:''' You're not filling me with confidence.
:''[Shocksquatch grunts]''
:'''Shocksquatch:''' Ohh, yeah! Ye-e-e-s! Yes! Yes!
:'''Ben:''' No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Oh, man!
:''[Alpha Humungousaur growls]''
:'''Rex:''' Your faceplate's fractured, White. Get out of here before it cracks through.
:'''White Knight:''' Not a chance. Six would have your back. I'm here in his place.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, your biometrics are dangerously low. You need to get away.
:'''Rex:''' Listen to me, Alpha controls nanites. So do I. Why don't I just shut him down?
:'''Ben:''' Hey, Jerk-asaur! You're a loser! Ha! You see that? Hero Time!
:'''Rath:''' Oh, yeah! Let's cause some pain!
:'''White Knight:''' Wait! Not while they're linked!
:'''Rath:''' Oh, you did not just stop me!
:'''Alpha:''' The power you hold is impressive.
:'''Rex:''' You mean the power to kick your butt?
:'''Alpha:''' The power to create machines. You are not worthy of such a gift. The Omega nanite is mine.
:'''Rath:''' Aaah! Take this and this! What do you think of what?!
:''[Alpha-Omega roars]''
:'''Alpha:''' I misguided to place my trust in a father that did not want me. I never needed him. I simply needed the energy and means to do what I have always done-- Evolve.
:'''Ben:''' You okay?
:'''Rex:''' No. Definitely not okay. It took my Omega nanite, and I think I know what I wants.
:'''Alpha:''' Behold, organics... The beginning and the end of all things. I am Alpha-Omega. This is the twilight of humanity. Alpha-Omega destroys all.
:''[Alpha-Omega roars]''
:'''Rex:''' Holiday, are you seeing this?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Unfortunately, yes. We're not looking at random destruction. Alpha is synthesizing the matter around him to build his own nanite.
:'''Rex:''' Thanks to my Omega nanite!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' This isn't your fault, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' Sure feels like it. I woke up this morning on top of the world. Now I'm about to witness the end of it. Six was right.
:'''Ben:''' I don't think this is how it was meant to play out. I've seen what you can do.
:'''Rex:''' My most powerful builds came from the Omega nanite. A lot of people are going to get hurt, and I can't stop it. What happens when the best you can do just... isn't enough?
:'''Ben:''' You get an Upgrade.
:'''Rex:''' Weren't you listening? Alpha has the Omega.
:'''Ben:''' I'm not talking about a nanite.
:''[Transforms into Upgrade]''
:'''Rex:''' Hey! What are you-- ''[Upgrade merges with Rex]'' Whoa! Okay. That feels weird. ''[Upgrade covers Rex's body like a suit]'' Whoa! What supposed to happen now? ''[Upgrade's head appears on Rex's left shoulder]'' Aah! Ohh! Don't do that! You're freaking me out!
:'''Upgrade:''' Build something!
:'''Rex:''' ''[Builds a Smack Arm, which is modified by Upgrade]'' Sa-weet! So, what's the plan?
:'''Upgrade:''' You build stuff, I make it better, fight, fight, fight, we win!
:'''Rex:''' Works for me! ''[Rex builds a Boogie Pack and blasts off]'' WHOO-HOO!
:''[Alpha-Omega roars]''
:'''Rex:''' Ye-e-e-ah!
:'''Upgrade:''' Nice shot, Rex! Run, run, run, run, run, run, run!
:''[Alpha-Omega screams]''
:''[Alpha-Omega roars]''
:'''Rex and Ben:''' Aah! Oof!
:''[Rex and Ben groaning]''
:'''Rex:''' We need a direct hit on the Alpha.
:'''Ben:''' More insults? I've got a good one.
:'''Rex:''' I've got an idea, but you have to trust me. When I fire, you've got to make your roly-poly thing.
:'''Ben:''' You're not thinking of--
:'''Rex:''' Yup.
:'''Ben:''' Isn't that dangerous?
:'''Rex:''' Probably.
:'''Ben:''' On three?
:'''Rex:''' I've officially decided I like you, monster guy.
:'''Ben:''' Same here, robot kid. One--
:'''Rex:''' Two-- Three!
:''[Alpha-Omega roars]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' WOO-HOO! Yeah! Oh, yeah! He shoots! He scores! WHOO! And the crowd goes wild!
:''[Rex imitates crowd cheering]''
:'''Rex:''' Whoa, there, little nanite brothers. Where do you think you're going? Alpha's not the only one who can tell you what to do.
:'''Ben:''' Isn't your Omega Nanite going to be in there, too?
:'''Caesar:''' I'll handle that. Where are you, little guy? Got it! Look! It worked!
:'''Ben:''' And that, my friend, is how you save the world.
:'''Caesar:''' Very clever, little brother. The density of this sphere is over thirty grams per centimeter cubed. It would be extremely difficult for Alpha to slip through the molecules of this, assuming it survived compaction. We need to get rid of it.
:'''Rex:''' Caesar, wait!
:'''Caesar:''' Rex, I wasn't fully able to repair the Void gun. I'm not sure how long my repairs will hold before it discharges. We only get one shot at this, and we have to do it fast. It's now or never, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' How are you going to carry it? That thing must weigh ten tons!
:'''Ben:''' I'm not going to carry it.
:'''Upchuck:''' Let's do this again someday.
:''[Upchuck munching]''
:''[Upchuck gulping]''
:'''Rex:''' Wow! That's just-- Wow! Six?
:'''Bobo:''' He's gone.
:'''Rex:''' ''[Weakly]'' Gone?
:'''Bobo:''' To the little ninja's room.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' He's going to be fine, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' He is?! All right! Yes! Oh, man, I knew it! I knew the whole time!
:''[Rex laughs]''
:'''Rex:''' I mean... cool. I'm glad you're alive!
:'''Six:''' Me too.
:'''Rex:''' I was so scared, Six. I've never done anything so hard in all my life. I really thought the world was going to end, And then I totally kicked butt!
:'''Six:''' I hear you had a little help.
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, when his monster watch wasn't conked out. Ben was a cool kid. I wonder if I'll ever see him again.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' With infinite dimensions, the math doesn't work in your favor, Rex.
:'''Bobo:''' Math-- The enemy of all things good.
:'''Six:''' Although-- The cosmos works in mysterious ways. I think certain people are meant to meet, to fight side by side, to be friends. You may see one another sooner than you think.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Caesar?! How did you...?
:'''Caesar:''' Okay. Before White Knight comes looking for me here, one last piece of unfinished business.
:'''Rex:''' You're sure this is the Omega, right? I mean, you didn't grab the Alpha by mistake?
:'''Caesar:''' 100% certain. Well, actually 99.998%. Nothing is 100%.
===Phantom of the Soap Opera===
:'''Rex Salazar:''' In a world he never chose and barely understands... ''[Rex looks over the countryside from a cliff, jumps and lands in a snow scene]'' One incredibly good looking guy fights for us all. His name...you know it baby...Rex. ''[jumps into a lake scene]'' Forget train wrecks... ''[punches]'' And car wrecks... ''[kicks]'' Nothing brings the pain like this Rex. ''[runs into city scene. EVO walks down street, Rex runs up, jumps, grabs EVO's head and tears it off. Holds it over his head in victory gesture.]''
:'''Actor in costume:''' Yeah, yeah, that's hilarious kid.
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Ah, anytime you want to stop trying to get me fired get back to the tour.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Sorry. Got caught up in the moment.
:'''Actor in costume:''' Ah, dude?
:''[Rex puts head back on the man in EVO costume.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' And on your left, the sound stage where they make the hit TV show Middle School Talent show.
:''[Teen girls on tour squeal and run towards it.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' That's a closed set. ''[Noah pulls on his hair]'' C'mon, this is my first week as a page, I could lose my job!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' I got this. ''[pulls girls back from stage with turbines]'' I just don't get girls, how come they get so... ''[notices something behind Noah, acts all excited]'' Huh hu oh huh... oh El Amor de la Pasion del Amor! Why didn't you tell me EADLPDA was made here?
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Um, probably because I didn't really believe you actually still watch a soap opera.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' It's a telenovela. The actresses are smoking hot. And I don't have cable?...ah c'mon dude don't be a hater. ''[crosses arms]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Whatever. We're not going in there, they get like ten safety violations a week, no one's allowed in accept crew and studio staff.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' You mean like pages? ''[Brushes Noah's shoulder with his hand, smiling. Noah brushes his hand away.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' No way. My boss is a total butt-buster for the rules and she is always watching. ''[makes binocular with his hands]''
:'''Head Page:''' You got that right bub. ''[Rex looks behind him, and jumps away]'' By the way Page, you lose something? ''[has three girls from Noah's tour group tied up in a rope]'' Found these wandering over by Middle School Talent Show. ''[Noah runs over and unties them, rope falls]''
:'''Head Page:''' ''[points to her left eye]'' I got my one good eye on you, Nixon.
:''[On set of telenovela]''
:''[Isabella crying]''
:'''Reymundo:''' Pensabas que yo era tu marido. ¡Pero fue una mentira! Pero la verdad es que soy Reymundo, el hermano diabólico de Reynaldo.
:'''Isabella:''' Yo sé, pero todavía te amo.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[standing by salad bar in cafeteria looking up at TV screen]'' How can anyone say that's not great!
:''[Man in cowboy hat tips his hat to Noah]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Whoa? Celebrities know you?
:''[There are drinks on their trays at this point, then in the next frame there are no drinks on their trays and they go over to get drinks.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' The only one here who knows my name is my boss. I'm just a newb on an internship.
:''[Blond girl puts her hand on Noah's shoulder and reaches across him to get a soda, walks away, looks back and gives him a finger gun.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Yeah right, you just got a finger gun from TV weather lady Summer Sonnenshine.
:'''Noah Nixon:''' It's the page jacket not me, if you put this thing on everyone would think you work here. Still. I gotta admit it's pretty cool.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Y'know, I didn't even know you'd applied for this. But I guess when you jump ahead in time you gotta expect some surprises...OH MY GOSH... ''[drops tray]'' It's Isabella, from El Amor del Pasion del Amor.
:''[Rex throws up his arms, knocks tray into Noah's chest spilling it all over his jacket]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' AHHH!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' I know she's even hotter in real life than she is on the...
:'''Noah Nixon:''' ''[looks down at tray and jacket]'' Ohhhhh...
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Okay, okay don't worry...
:'''Head Page:''' ''[yelling at another page behind Rex]'' You call yourself a page!
:'''Rex:''' Okay worry. ''[puts his fingers together]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' This is a huge violation of the dress code, oh I am so fired!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' No you're not. Come on, move!
:''[They run to a supply closet.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' I've gotta lead another tour in forty-five minutes. We can't get to a dry cleaners and back in forty-five minutes.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' This is my bad, but I can fix this. ''[Noah panicking, rocking and hyperventilating]'' We just have to calm down and think. Just calm down. ''[Rex points at Noah]'' Noah, calm down!
:''[Rex grabs a bottle of pickles off the shelf, opens the lid and throw contents of jar at Noah's head. A pickle ends up in Noah's mouth, he spits it out.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Not helping. ''[Noah, calm now and not hyperventilating and rocking, wipes pickle juice out of his eyes.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Okay, listen we passed the wardrobe department on the tour, they've gotta have a washer and dryer right?
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Uh... yeah, I guess?
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Alright, good, give me your outfit and stay put, I'll take care of everything else.
:''[Scene change. Sign which says laundry stages commissary.]''
:''[Rex runs towards laundry, passes stage of telenovela. Grins and stops. Looks into open door. Looks down at soiled jacket. Up at stage doorway. Walks away. Runs back and grins bigger. Walks into stage with Noah's jacket on.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Uh--
:'''Isabella:''' Finally! You are here!
:''[Isabella kisses Rex all over his face.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' This is happening, right? I'm not going to wake up and be making out with my pillow again am I?
:'''Isabella:''' Come with me, they want to cancel us you know. That's why the studio puts us here in this place falling apart with all the accidentes.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Soap operas do not get the respect they deserve.
:'''Isabella:''' You are very wise for your age. We don't even go backstage anymore. Too dangerous.
:''[A silhouette of a rat is seen, it squeaks]''
:'''Beatriz:''' Is that our page?
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Uh...
:''[Rex falls]''
:'''Isabella:''' He's mine, I saw him first!
:''[Rex gets up and Isabella grabs him.]''
:'''Isabella:''' He is mine!!!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Hum?
:'''Beatriz:''' Why don't we let him decide?
:'''[Rex is being pulled back and forth]''
:'''Isabella:''' You would like that wouldn't you?
:'''Beatriz:''' Yes I would! Very much.
:'''Isabella:''' Fine.
:''[Girls growl at each other and walk away.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[grinning]'' Did they just cat-fight over me?
:''[The girls come back with lists.]''
:'''Isabella:''' Here is a list of what I need you to do!
:'''Beatriz:''' And here's mine!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' You want me to work on the show?
:'''Beatriz:''' Claro que si, we haven't had a page on set in ages.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' But I'm not ... ''[looks over the girls]'' ...able to think of one reason why I would pass this up.
:''[Screen cuts to Noah looking out the door. He sees the chief page and closes the door quickly, after that, the scene changes back to Rex carrying boxes of water with yogurt on top.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' I got your yogurt, but I couldn't find the water you wanted. So I got these.
:'''Isabella:''' You are dead to me! But I will take this one. ''[takes yogurt]''
:''[Rex stares in shock and drops the boxes full of water.]''
:''[Old man walks in a dressing room, and Reynaldo comes out soon later.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Whoa, it's Reynaldo! Uh, coffee? ''[offers him a mug of coffee]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' Gracias.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Leche?
:'''Reynaldo:''' How dare you! I am lactose intolerant.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Uh, okay, didn't know that. Sugar?
:''[Reynaldo knocks the sugar out of his hand.]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' Real men take their coffee strong and hot. Are you suggesting that I am not a real man?
:''[Rex looks around and the phone rings.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Rex, where are you?
:'''Reynaldo:''' No phone! ''[Reynaldo knocks the phone out of his hand.]'' You will talk to me face to face. Mano a mano! ''[grabs Rex's jacket]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey wait what are you... ''[Reynaldo pulls Rex away from table. Stage light falls where Rex was standing]'' ...Oh, thanks!
:''[Everyone runs up to them.]''
:'''Beatriz:''' Not another accidente!
:'''Isabella:''' ''[scared]'' Ay. Dios mio! No!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' It's okay, I'm fine.
:'''Isabella:''' ''[pushes Rex down]'' My jogurt!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' I'd hate to be the guy that has to clean that up... ''[whispers to man though they look at him]'' Oh. ''[Reynaldo hands him the mop.]''
:'''Beatriz:''' If I didn't know better, I'd say that someone was trying to kill us.
:'''Reynaldo:''' Someone is. The head of the studio is trying to kill our soap opera. That's why he put us in this accursed stage, with all these accidentes. But we... ''[another stage light falls and hits his head, he falls to the ground]'' Aahh... Por que? Ay.
:''[Rex looks up and sees a mongoose...runs after it...goes backstage. Sees clowns and a sign saying “Mongo”.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Ugh! Clowns.
:''[The mongoose squeaks.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Lemme guess. You're the one who's been causing all the accidents.
:''[Mongo growls, bears teeth]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Okay, let's say we can wrap this up quietly. Last thing I need is someone wondering why the guy in the page jacket can do this. ''[wraps Mongo up in the whip thing, Mongo gets tiny, escapes, growls]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Guess that explains how you've been able to hide out back here. ''[Mongo pulls lever cannon comes out of floor and fires at Rex. Platform falls Rex dodges. Mongo squeaks]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Can we please do this a little more quietly and with a lot less YOU trying to kill me?
:''[Mongo jumps into the “O” of his name on the sign.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Wait, that's you, isn't it? You just want your job back. I can help you. ''[reaches in and tries to cure him Mongo runs out and traps Rex's hand]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Enough with the booby traps, I'm trying to help you. ''[Mongo sets off another trap]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Uh-oh. [makes big fist, weight on rope swings and hits Rex, makes noise]
:'''Beatriz:''' What's going on back there?
:'''Isabella:''' Where is that page? I am beginning to wonder ...HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR HIM TO CLEAN UP MY JOGURT!!!!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[Getting thrown around back stage]'' Ouch. ''[gets beat up by mechanical clowns]''
:''[Mongo cuts stars from ceiling they fall and cut Rex's jacket]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Ok, New plan-- First I smash your face, then I cure you.
:''[Mongo knocks over equipment]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' No. ''[grabs equipment, Mongo jumps on his arm, punches him and he falls]'' Oww! Look out!
:''[Actors run from set, Rex falls and smashes set]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Uhh, okay here's the deal—all the accidents you've been having they were caused by an EVO backstage. It used to be a mongoose and now it wants it's old job back. ''[last wall of stage set falls behind him]''
:'''Beatriz:''' What are jou talking about?
:'''Isabella:''' We just saw you ruin our set.
:'''Reynaldo:''' You are trying to destroy this soap opera just like the rest of them! It is true what they say, this sound stage must be cursed for us to have such a horrible page such as you, Senior... ''[looks at name badge]'' Noah Nixon.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Whoa, wait. This isn't Noah's fault.
:''[Three actors gasps]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' ''[tears off his own shirt]'' Now you insult us by talking about yourself in the third person! Somehow we must rebuild and finish our shoot! But as soon as we do, Noah Nixon, I will have you fired!
:''[Workers fixing set, Rex's phone rings.]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Rex! Finally. How's the jacket?
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Umm. Well, the good news is you won't notice the stain anymore. Hey uh, by the way, your page training, did it include anything about the creepy backstage in studio B?
:'''Noah Nixon:''' What? Why are you--
:'''Rex Salazar:''' No reason. I was just thinking, hypothetically, what would happen if I used your jacket to take a quick peek at the telenovela and ended up chasing some killer EVO mongoose? Hypothetically... Uh...Noah?
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Sorry, just trying to figure out how to tell my parents I have no future.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey I got this. I hit a little snag. Just keep your pants on.
:'''Noah Nixon:''' ''[sitting the maintenance closet in his underwear]'' Heh!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Sorry, look, you don't have anything to worry about all I have to do is catch the EVO before they finish shooting and clear my... your name.
:'''Noah Nixon:''' You know what? I'm not worried. I am completely resigned to the fact that I am losing my job. ''[Noah hangs up on Rex. Rex hears dial tone.]''
:'''Beatriz:''' ''[to Reynaldo]'' You are bleeding!
:'''Reynaldo:''' What I am is an actor! We must shoot this scene. We cannot let them cancel us! ''[moans and falls on his face crushing a chair]''
:'''Beatriz:''' You cannot go on.
:'''Isabella:''' If only there were someone else here who knows our show, is fluent in Spanish, and will do a scene in which he kisses me.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' I'll do it!!!
:'''Reynaldo:''' You? The one who ruined our set and lied about the EVO? I'd rather die! But then, my life will surely end if the show is canceled, so maybe... But no! It's impossible. But yet, what is more impossible than a dream. Nothing means more than my dream of saving this telenovela!
:'''Rex Salazar:''' So, is that a--
:'''Reynaldo:''' Si. You will be our savior. And then I will have you fired. Accion!
:''[Rex is dressed as Reynaldo. Takes Isabella in his arms and looks deep into her eyes, smiles..then turns away, sees Mongo and gasps. Isabella pulls his face back to her and puckers for a kiss. Mongo squeaks and runs out the door and Rex turns his eyes towards it.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[thinking]'' Okay no kiss, but you're gonna save Noah's job! ''[groans]'' Nope. Doesn't make it any better. ''[Runs out Isabelle runs after him, trips on his wig and falls to the ground gasping, reaching after him]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[makes Rex Ride to chase Mongo down alley. Runs into a set. Falls]'' Where'd you go?
:'''Guy in suit:''' You! Page! Take this script to post, pronto.
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey wait, I'm not--
:'''Guy in suit:''' Oh? You're not going to do it? Are you talking back to me Mr.... Nixon?
:'''Rex Salazar:''' No. Mr. Nixon is not definitely not talking back to whoever you are. ''[takes script, leaves]''
:'''Guy in suit:''' Nixon! ''[Points in the other direction of where Rex was going. Rex goes where he's pointing]''
:''[Rex walks by alley hears Mongo munching garbage, sneaks up, tries to cure it. It escapes, Rex corners it in dead end alley]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Oh you're not so tough when you can't hide, are you? ''[Mongo growls and grows huge]'' Oh so you can do that too. ''[Mongo roars, swipes at Rex with claws]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey, watch the jacket. I'm in enough trouble already. ''[Sets down scripts. Big fists. Mongo shrinks to escape. Rex falls to the ground. Mongo gets huge again behind him, tries to stomp on Rex, Rex rolls out of the way, Mongo shrinks and runs away, Rex climbs out of hole in ground breathing heavily and falls to ground.]''
:'''Guy in suit:''' ''[walks up]'' Are you kidding me? You still haven't delivered that script? ''[Rex runs off]''
:'''Guy in suit:''' Nixon! ''[points in other direction, Rex runs that way]''
:''[Mongo jumps off roof grows huge lands on Rex, grabs script.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey, gimme that! ''[grabs Mongo with big fist throws him into a stage building]''
:''[Rex looks in the hole into the stage.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Sorry. ''[runs off after Mongo]''
:''[Mongo throws him higher than the roof tops, Rex lands on big feet, Mongo tackles him. Rex lands in front of the post building, grabs remains of script out of Mongo's mouth. Mongo runs away, Rex gathers script remains and hands it to man at post door.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' I think this is for you. ''[runs after Mongo]''
:''[Phone rings]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Did you catch it?
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Not yet, but I delivered a script for you, well, most of it.
:'''Noah Nixon:''' I am so dead.
:'''Lady with clipboard:''' ''[grabs Rex by the collar]'' Noah Nixon, you're right on time for your two p.m. tour. ''[Gives Rex clipboard and keys]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[Driving tram with tourists]'' Uh, there's a building where some TV shows are made and there's another one and oh great there's the giant killer EVO.
:''[Mongo chasing tram, Rex steps on gas. Tram goes sloooow. Mongo attacks tram. Rex lands, catches tourists with big hands, flies off on hoverboard]''
:'''Tourist:''' They had better special effects at my kids' school play.
:''[Back on soap opera stage]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' I need a bigger reaction from you. Bigger!
:''[Rex crashes through ceiling with Mongo hanging on the bottom of his hoverboard, heading towards Isabella.]''
:''[Isabella screams and covers head, Mongo crashes into set]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' Yes! That's it exactly!
:''[Mongo growls]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' Be careful or you're gonna get the hand. ''[big fists with right hand. Mongo jumps at him, Rex grins and raises his left hand and cures Mongo. Mongo lays on ground cute and unconscious.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' That's not the hand I meant.
:''[Actors, stunned, applaud]''
:''[Rex picks up Mongo.]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' You are a good page, Noah Nixon.
:''[Mongo wakes up runs around on Rex and perches on his shoulder cutely.]''
:''[At supply closet with Noah, Rex walks in holding torn up jacket]''
:'''Noah Nixon:''' Oh, my jacket! ''[Cuddles jacket, then holds it up and glares at Rex through the hole in it. Rex grins guiltily.]''
:''[Head Page walks in, Noah hides jacket, then realizes he is in underwear and tries to hide himself behind jacket.]''
:'''Head Page:''' I got a dozen calls from all over the lot about you, Nixon. I don't know what you were thinking. ''[He sits down, sweat runs down his face, he closes his eyes, frowns, runs head away. Head page grabs him and hugs him.]''
:'''Head Page:''' I'm proud of you, kiddo! It took me sixty seven years to make chief page. I bet you'll get the job in half that time. ''[Noah stands up holding jacket in front of him. Rex and Noah look puzzled Head Page walks to door, turns back]''
:'''Head Page:''' Oh and them soap opera fellas, eh, they got a special reward for you. ''[they look at each other with puzzled frowns]''
:''[Telenovela stage, Noah dressed as Reynaldo. Isabella kisses him.]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' And cut! You look differante than you did before, Noah Nixon. ''[Noah looks up at his blond eyebrows and takes off the wig and mustache. Smiles at Reynaldo. Reynaldo looks at him thoughtfully.]''
:'''Reynaldo:''' I can see you've been to makeup. Good you finally look like a real man! ''[Noah smiles.]''
:'''Rex Salazar:''' [peeking in from backstage, makes a jealous face as Noah is laughing together with the actors.] It's okay, it's okay. You're a good friend, you're a good friend.
:'''Guy in suit:''' You! Quit talking to yourself and get me some coffee! ''[Rex runs off]'' Nixon!
:''[Mongo looking down from rafters]''
===Riddle of the Sphinx===
:'''Egyptian Guide:''' They uncovered the tunnel during routine sewer work. No one has set foot in here in over 3.500 years.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Providence doesn't work the location yet?
:'''Egyptian Guide:''' ''[laughs]'' The antiquities comission does not like this Black Knight. They keep her busy with much paperwork.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The maze looks like it extends for miles. They do that to keep looters out?
:'''Egyptian Guide:''' Or to keep something in.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Anything that was trapped in here couldn't be alive after all this time.
:'''Egyptian Guide:''' I-I-I must go.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''': Watch out! Bobby traps.
:'''Egyptian Guide:''' That's not what I'm afraid of.
:'''Bobo:''' It's only been a few days since we heard from Holiday.
:'''Six:''' Something's wrong.
:'''Bobo:''' Maybe she wanted a vacation from you clowns. "Something's wrong."
:''[Bobo grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Providence! She in is trouble.
:'''Six:''' Black Knight. And she has your better half.
:'''Bobo:''' I'm predictin' an awkward situation.
:'''Black Knight:''' Hello, Rex. If you came for your friend, I'll have to disappoint you.
:'''Rex:''' That hairy creep? You can keep the traitor. Hey! My faithful guide, why don't you go away while we discuss business?
:'''Bobo:''' It's me, you dopey tin can! Beat it! Or the boss lady's gonna get wise to our little switcheroo.
:'''Rex:''' What's the campout for?
:'''Black Knight:''' Routine scientific research.
:'''Rex:''' Look, I know Holiday was here. What'd you do with her?
:'''Black Knight:''' We arrived an hour ago. The locals say Holiday unleashed a monster down in the tunnels. The situation's under control. As soon as we've secured the tunnels, I'll send a team in to see if she's still alive.
:'''Rex:''' I'm going with you.
:'''Black Knight:''' You're going nowhere. You quit Providence. Unless you're recosindering?
:'''Rex:''' Come on, guide. Holiday's in those tunnels. But Black Knight has a whole battalion of Providence goons guarding the entrance.
:'''Six:''' I figured she'd be no help. That's why I found someone who knows a back way in.
:'''Egyptian Cooker:''' The Kushari is healthy. For the stomach, good.
:'''Rex:''' Enough about the Kushari! Where's the back entrance?
:'''Egyptian Cooker:''' For so young, you in such a hurry. And old cook like me, I live by selling Kushari. Why not buy some? You buy, I give you more information.
:'''Bobo:''' Ah, come on. Stop bein' so stingy. Buy some more.
:'''Six:''' Where's the back entrance?
:'''Egyptian Cooker:''' The sewer man-- They came to fix a leak. They found the tunnel to the entrance in my basement.
:'''Bobo:''' Mmm!
:'''Rex:''' Way cool! Maybe we'll see some mummies!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Tell us where Holiday is!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Where do you think I am?
:'''Six:''' Holiday!
:'''Bobo:''' So, what's with the halloween get up, doc?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I found it in one of the chambers. Scares off the curious. I need to get to the bottom of all this before Black Knight.
:'''Rex:''' The bottom of what? This is all ancient history?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' You can this ancient history?
:'''Rex:''' That looks like a nanite!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' That's because it is a nanite.
:'''Six:''' How could they have knowledge back then?
:'''Rex:''' Aliens! Like the ones that built the pyramids.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' None of this is more advanced that the 21st century. It's not aliens. I think the answers lie behind this door. But I can't figure out how to open it.
:'''Rex:''' Open the door? No problem, Doc!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Stop! This whole place is booby-trapped. We open this wrong, they'll bring the tunnels down on us.
:'''Rex:''' If there's a wrong way to open it, then that means there's a right way, too. Maybe the nanite picture is a clue. The whole thing is rigged like one. Told you-- No prob. Whoa, mumies.
:'''Bobo:''' What are you lookin' at, beautiful?
:'''Rex:''' Ha! Awesome! I'd love to see the look on Knight's face when she finds out we've beat her here.
:'''Black Knight:''' Then let me step a little closer so you can see.
:'''Six:''' How'd you find us?
:'''Black Knight:''' Your mole helped me.
:'''Bobo:''' Sorry, pal.
:'''Black Knight:''' I should have known better. It's old junk from the dead.
:''[Black Knight gasps]''
:'''Guranset:''' Gharun Set is not dead.
:'''Rex:''' Put her down!
:'''Black Knight:''' This isn't the time for violence. Our host has forgotten his manners. I presume he hasn't had guests in a long time.
:'''Guranset:''' Almost an eternity. Gharun Set said has waited for his release. Awaken this cursed prison through the ages.
:'''Black Knight:''' You speak English. That is interesting. Who taught your own language, Gharun Set?
:'''Guranset:''' I was taught by the great father.
:'''Black Knight:''' Father? What did he look me?
:'''Guranset:''' He is dead-- As all of you soon shall be!
:'''Black Knight:''' Now's the time for violence.
:'''Guranset:''' Aah!
:'''Black Knight:''' A nanite disrupter. Something I had your brother's lab whip up. It's quite lethal.
:'''Rex:''' Looks like the lab forgot to tell him that.
:'''Guranset:''' The boy controls the engines of life? It can't be. I laid low the armies of six kingdoms, swordsman. You think your tiny blades can stop me?
:'''Rex:''' Try this one for size!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex!
:'''Rex:''' Huh?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' His staff is a nanite disrupter. Get it away from him.
:'''Rex:''' Easier said than done!
:'''Guranset:''' Haah!
:'''Rex:''' Oh, mummies!
:'''Bobo:''' Yeah, yeah, you got your mummies. I hope you're happy!
:'''Six:''' Rex! We can handle this! He's getting away!
:'''Guranset:''' One last trap to keep me imprisoned, father. Nothing will keep me from my destiny! You serve his plan, child, and don't even know it.
:'''Rex:''' Everybody talk weird in ancient Egypt, or it is just your special thing? Uh... are they supposed to do that?
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Guranset:''' Finally! I am free!
:'''Six:''' These EVO's won't say dead.
:'''Bobo:''' Their breath stinks, too! Ah, boy!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' You could thank me for saving your life.
:'''Black Knight:''' Dr. Holiday, our lives are not safe yet.
:'''Guranset:''' I am not alone. Together, we shall reconquer this land, and then.. the world!
:'''Rex:''' Uh, I think the sun's baked him loopy. You can't reanimate that. It's a statue.
:'''Guranset:''' This is not statue, child. It is a tomb. Arise, my mighty steed. Arise, my sphinx!
:'''Rex:''' Providence, this is Rex. You may want to evacuate Cairo.
:'''Guranset:''' This city is a blight upon my kingdom. All shall be as it once was.
:'''Rex:''' I'm warning you, Gharun Set-- I don't want to have to get rough with you. Step off the pussycat.
:'''Guranset:''' You presume to tell a pharaoph what to do. Be gone!
:'''Six:''' Holiday. There's something I want to tell you before it's too late.
:'''Bobo:''' Ugh. Hold still! Oh, no.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' All of them. Like the nanites keeping them alive... self-destructed? I'm sorry. What were you going to say?
:'''Six:''' Holiday... I, uh...
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hold that thought.
:'''Bobo:''' What's it gonna be, the kooky chicks or we go help Rex save the world?
:'''Six:''' Rex probably has this under control. Holiday needs my-- our help.
:'''Bobo:''' Yeah, I can't resist a good catfight either.
:'''Rex:''' Let me handle! This it's too dangerous!
:'''Pilot:''' Black Knight, target sighted. It's riding a 50-foot-tall house cat. Please advise.
:'''Black Knight:''' Do not harm. Contain and capture. We need that specimen.
:''[Black Knight gasps]''
:'''Black Knight:''' Pilot disregard. Last order. Target no longer needed. Destroy. Repeat-- Destroy.
:'''Pilot:''' You're with the lady. Lock and load.
:'''Rex:''' Huh? Whoa! Get out of here! I don't know what he's up to, but it's not good.
:'''Garunset:''' Behold the majesty of my dream. My kingdom! My paradise!
:'''Rex:''' Whoa!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' What is this place?
:'''Black Knight:''' It's the stuff of legends. The fabled hall of records which lay hidden beneath where the sphinx once was.
:'''Bobo:''' "Was"?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' This can't be! That's the helix splitter. And that looks like a nano-flux inducer. Caesar built the first prototype of one last year.
:'''Black Knight:''' I can't let you touch any of this. It's too unstable with age. When you blundered in the tomb, you set off a safeguard. Someone thought this room too dangerous for the world to know about.
:'''Bobo:''' Agreed. Let's scram!
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' We can't! Don't you know what this means to science? The knowledge in here is invaluable. It cannot be lost-- Again!
:'''Black Knight:''' It won't be! Now that we know where it is, we can dig it out later. We will study it. I promise you that.
:'''Six''': Holiday. Let it go.
:'''Guranset''': As father promised-- I will rule forever.
:'''Rex''': Forever is gonna be shorter than you think.
:'''Guranset''': No! Nooooo!
:'''Rex''': Aw, come on! I didn't hit you that hard!
:''[Guranset gasps]''
:'''Rex''': What's happening to you?
:''[Guranset gasps]''
:'''Guranset''': Aaaaaaaaah!
:''[Guranset grunts]''
:'''Guranset''': Do not touch your pharaoh.
:'''Rex''': You need help. Your nanites are dying of old age-- I think. It's like starting an old car. Uh, o-or a camel. Let me help you. I can fix your nanites, and then maybe--
:'''Guranset''': Lies!
:'''Rex''': You're in a strange time, a strange place. We have science, machines. We can help you. Trust us.
:'''Guranset''': Like you trust the woman you call Black Knight? I see now this is a world of lies. You and I have no place in it. Father told me of you... Rex.
:'''Rex:''' What? How do you know my--
:'''Guranset''': I would have helped the world. Ended the hunger, the wars. But now he will return. Avenge me. ''[Echoing]'' I see now this is a world of lies. You and I have no place in it.
<hr width80/>
:'''Black Knight:''' You wanted something?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' The hall of records-- You can't keep it a secret. It must be studied. That hall--
:'''Black Knight:''' What hall?
:'''Rex:''' Why'd you do that?! Holiday said--
:'''Black Knight:''' Some secrets are best left buried under the sands, Rex.
:''[Dr. Holiday grunts]''
:'''Black Knight:''' Gentleman. Dr. Holiday.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six, what'd you want to tell me back in the tomb?
:'''Six:''' It can wait.
:'''Rex:''' Don't wait too long.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' All those priceless artifacts. And we still don't know who created Gharun Set.
===Guy vs. Guy===
:''[Rex moans]''
:''[Rex shouts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' Huh?
:''[Noah laughs]''
:'''Noah:''' WHOO! Oh, yeah!
:'''Rex:''' Noah?
:'''Noah:''' Gotcha!
:'''Rex:''' This means war.
:'''Noah:''' Hey, tanner! What's up, Chris? Noelle, how's it going? You'll have to do better than that, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' I'm gonna get you, Noah. That's a promise.
:'''Noah:''' Aren't you forgetting something?
:'''Rex:''' Aah!
:'''Noah:''' Gotcha! Rex, I'm prank master supreme. Save yourself some pain and admit defeat.
:'''Rex:''' Never! I will get you!
:''[Rex gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' Oh, no. Aah!
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' :You're not the only one with Smack Hands. Gotcha!" Ugh!
:''[Rex growls]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex:''' How'd he even get in here?
:''[Bobo belches]''
:'''Rex:''' How could you let him in here? You're conspiring with the enemy!
:'''Bobo:''' Mm. Meh, Bribed me. And I needed a laugh. If you really want to get back at the kid, you'll need my help.
:'''Rex:''' How could I trust you after you betrayed me to Noah like this? Forget it.
:'''Bobo:''' Your loss. I've been banned from six asian countries for some of the pranks I've pulled. It's a delicate art, requiring skills, daring, and a cold, unforgiving heart. You need my help.
:'''Rex:''' I gotta do this on my own.
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' Look, Bobo. Noah's better than me at just about everything.
:'''Bobo:''' When was the last time he turned himself into a motorcycle?
:'''Rex:''' He's smarter than me. He's more popular than me. You know that I've never made a basket when I've played hoops against him?
:'''Bobo:''' So? I've never been able to run without my knuckles draggin'. What's the big deal?
:'''Rex:''' I just want to beat him at something! It wouldn't be as bad if he wasn't so smug about everything.
:'''Bobo:''' And now he's started a prank war that you can't win.
:'''Rex:''' Um-- ''[Chuckles]'' Actually--
:''[Rex laughs]''
:'''Rex:''' Gotcha! Oh! ''[Grunts]''
:'''Noah:''' Very funny, but you have no idea what you started.
:'''Bobo:''' Heh heh. Don't you watch movies? All those little blond kids are evil. You don't stand a chance.
:'''Rex:''' Whoa! ''[Grunts]''
:''[Bobo groans]''
:'''Rex:''' I don't know what Providence was thinking. This EVO is a threat.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' We're picking up reports like this all over the country. They think they can just tame them and set them free.
:'''Rex:''' Hah! Huh?
:'''Bobo:''' Heh. Maybe Noah could do a better job fighting EVOs, too, huh?
:''[Noah laughs]''
:'''Rex:''' AAAAH! That, ladies and gentlemen, is what I do best! Whoa!
:'''Noah:''' Gotcha! Hope you like maple. Now, that's how you throw a water balloon. We're even.
:''[Bobo laughs]''
:'''Bobo:''' That's good.
:'''Rex:''' We're so not even. We're so not even!
===Double Vision===
: ''[The episode starts as a butterfly flies through plants in a flower shop. Suddenly, Rex is thrown into the shop window, making nearby civilians run away. Rex gets up and looks out of the broken glass, seeing a beastly plant EVO, a few people watching, and Agent Six slashing his swords around to evade the EVO's tentacles.]''
: '''Rex:''' ''[Pants and brushes leaves off his sleeve and puts on goggles.]'' Not bad!
: ''[Uses the Punk Busters to jump out of the shop and generates his Smack Hands to uppercut the EVO, causing it to crash into a nearby building.]'' But I'm better!
: ''[The EVO gets out of the glass windows and roars, attacking Agent Six.]''
: '''Agent Six:''' ''[Cuts off a tentacle and walks towards Rex.]'' Talk is cheap, Rex. Prove it.
: '''Rex:''' ''[Generating the Smack Hands.]'' No problemo.
: ''[The EVO rushes towards Rex, unfortunately, Rex grabs it and slams it onto the ground. A random girl is driving up the road on a moped. However, she is stopped as the EVO blocks the path.]''
: '''Rex:''' ''[Putting his hands up to assure the girl.]'' Nothing to worry about, I've got this handled. ''[Turns to EVO, whom is still on the floor.]'' Okay big guy, say adiós to those nasty nanites.
: '''Rex:''' ''[Rex kneels down to cure the EVO, flowers spout out of the EVO]'' Aw, for me? Does this mean we're dating?
: ''[Suddenly, the flowers shoot out some goo into Rex's face, making him slam onto the floor, a crowd forms around the battle.]''
: '''Rex:''' ''[Yelps while getting up and pulls his goggles off and wipes the goo off his face.]'' Oh, that's better. ''[He gives his goggles to the random female on the moped]'' Hey! Watch these for me. ''[Runs back into battle and generates the Punk Busters and kicks the blacked out EVO over a building.]'' Goal! Hey thanks for holding onto my...huh?...
: ''[Rex turns around to see the girl missing from the crowd. Deforming his Punk Busters, he spots the girl riding away on her moped. She turns to look back at Rex, appearing to have on his goggles.]''
: '''Rex:''' Goggles!
: ''[Rex puts one of his hands up to signal for her to wait, but the EVO returns and wraps its tentacle around Rex's neck. The EVO twists Rex in mid-air in the sky for a minute before slamming him onto the cement. Rex gets up and sees the goggle girl riding away out of sight.]''
: '''Rex:''' Hey! You've got my...ungh...goggles... Aah! Ungh! Did you see that girl?! She stole my goggles!
: '''Agent Six:''' Priorities, Rex.
: '''Rex:''' They are my priority, Six. I can pound EVOs any day. Those goggles are-- Ah, great. Who invited her?
: '''Black Knight:''' Stand down, gentlemen. We've got this covered.
: '''Rex:''' We don't need any help. Whoa! Whoa! Ungh!
: '''Black Knight:''' Obviously. Control collar-- Now. We'll take it from here.
: '''Rex:''' Take it from whe-e-re?! I've already got this under contro-o-o-o-l! Whoa! Ugh! Let me try to cure it.
: '''Black Knight:''' The new Providence protocol is to confine, constrain and control. If curing is an option, it will be considered-- At my discretion.
: '''Rex:''' Control? I can cure it now and end this.
: '''Black Knight:''' The offer still stands. If you want to come back to Providence, you can continue your mission.
: '''Rex:''' I have my mission!
: '''Black Knight:''' Curing every EVO on Earth isn't a mission, Rex. It's an impossibility.
: '''Rex:''' Watch me.
: '''Black Knight:''' Everybody back! Contain those seedlings!
: '''Rex:''' You just made it worse! Now I've got to clean up your mess. Starting with this guy. See? Fearing works!
: '''Black Knight:''' It was your actions that exacerbated this situation. I want full containment and control over those seedlings. Move out-- Now.
: '''Agent Six:''' While you were arguing, Holiday found another sprout. Let's go deal with that before Providence does.
: '''Rex:''' But-- My goggles!
: '''Agent Six:''' Focus, Rex. We've got work to do.
: '''Rex:''' Nice work!
: '''Agent Six:''' Drop in the bucket. Look below.
: '''Rex:''' Wow. And I thought I'd be able to knock off early today.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' On the contrary, Rex. By overlaying current worldwide wind patterns on top of international population centers, we're looking at total global infestation within thirty-eight hours.
: '''Bobo:''' Ooh, that's a lot of roughage.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' I need to get in the field and obtain some live samples. Bobo and I will meet you at the rendezvous point in the mobile command center.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, doc. We're almost there. Hey! It's that girl! Wh-o-o-o-oa!
: '''Agent Six:''' What's gotten into you, Rex?
: '''Rex:''' My goggles-- I can't see without them!
: '''Agent Six:''' Obviously, you can see without them.
: '''Rex:''' Well, yeah, but I really need them a lot of the time. Don't you remember when I first got them?
: '''Agent Six:''' Actually, no.
: '''Rex:''' Oh. Sorry. My bad. It was early on, when I was just learning to control my powers. Whoa!
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Rex:''' Aaaah! Aah! Aaaaah! Oof!
: '''Agent Six:''' Horse manure.
: '''Rex:''' This is exactly why I need my goggles! Hey! I thought this thing was just a sprout!
: '''Agent Six:''' It's the nature of plants to grow.
: '''Rex:''' Hm. Very Zen of you, Six. Well, it's the nature of me to kick EVO butt! Whoa! Oof! Yuck! This stuff really stinks!
: '''Agent Six:''' All yours.
: '''Rex:''' Ta-da! And for my next trick... Oh, and look who's late to the party.
: '''Black Knight:''' ''[Entering]'' Alpha team, I want you to lay down suppressive fire and--
: ''[Realizing the EVOs not there]''
: '''Black Knight:''' Belay that. Sit Ops, I was told we had a Class-Three EVO situation here. Where is the EVO?
: '''Rex:''' ''[Rex hands her flowers]'' Sorry. This is all that's left. Six, are we good here? I've got to run.
: '''Agent Six:''' I'd put those in water.
: '''Black Knight:''' Unh!
: '''Rex:''' Slow down! I just want to-- Ungh!
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex:''' Huh? What?! No way! Hey! You've got my-- Ugh! Whoa! ...Goggles.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You've got bigger problems than a girl on a scooter, Rex. First a flower shop, then gardening supplies. It's getting hungrier. Gentlemen, I suggest you get to the sewage-treatment plant as quickly as possible.
: '''Rex:''' Huh? Why?
: '''Agent Six:''' Fertilizer, Rex, as in if those sprouts chow down on that much raw nourishment, we're in some deep...
: ''[Plant EVO bursts through a nearby wall]''
: '''Rex:''' ...Horse maneure. Hungry? Eat this!
: '''Agent Six:''' Holiday, get to the sewage plant. We'll meet you there after we clean up.
: '''Bobo Haha:''' Clean up? I'd rather make a mess! Shoulda brought my chainsaw.
: '''Agent Six:''' Shoot the seedlings!
: '''Rex:''' Huh? Okay, this time I'm going to--
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Hey! Wait! Aw, man! Back off!
: ''[Rex panting]''
: '''Bobo:''' You went a little nuts there, buddy. I like it! But... Goggles?
: '''Rex:''' That EVO interrupted before I could finish the story.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Agent Six:''' Here, kid. Try these on.
: '''Rex:''' Um, so I can look like a total doofus?
: '''Agent Six:''' You have no idea how unique these goggles are, Rex. A reclusive weaponsmith in Zurich crafted this single pair before he turned EVO.
: '''Rex:''' Really? And then what happened to him?
: '''Agent Six:''' I did. He won't be crafting any more goggles.
: '''Rex:''' Cool!
: '''Agent Six:''' These are one-of-a-kind, Rex-- Special, for you.
: '''Bobo:''' What a bunch of chimp chips! Those goggles are-- Whoa!
: '''Rex:''' Wow. That is a lot of rampaging EVO.
: '''Bobo:''' Yeah. Lucky holiday-- She's right in the thick of it.
: '''Rex:''' Lucky?
: '''Bobo:''' She gets to try out all the special modifications I made to that sweet ride.
: ''[Dr. Holiday grunts]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Plant EVO has Holiday trapped inside the Mobile Command Center]'' Okay. Let's see how you like 10,000 volts of--
: ''[Holiday presses a button, and music starts playing]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Bobo's mix tape?! Who puts the stereo next to the weapons system?! One more time-- Big red button. Always go for the big red button. Unless you don't want to drain the batteries to zero.
: ''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Bobo, your improvements could use some improvements. Rex, if you're not too busy, I'd appreciate a little assistance.
: '''Bobo:''' Hey, ain't that your girlfriend?
: '''Agent Six:''' She can take care of herself, right, Rex?
: '''Rex:''' Right-- For now.
: ''[Dr. Holiday gasps]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' That's more like it. Ungh! Fine! Let's see how you like this! I don't know what you just did, Rex, but thanks. Rex?
: '''Black Knight:''' I admit our last encounter didn't end well, but I think we need to work together on this one.
: '''Rex:''' You want to work together? We left Providence, remember?
: '''Black Knight:''' Rex--
: '''Rex:''' What happened to "stay out of my way"?
: '''Black Knight:''' Rex!
: '''Rex:''' So now when you need somebody to take out your trash, you can just forget that I quit your crummy organization?
: '''Black Knight:''' Yes, Rex, I can, because I don't let my emotions guide my choices. I only want what's best for Providence-- And the world.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, cool. Just wanted to hear you say it. Aah!
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, the EVO is too big to cure without getting to its core.
: '''Rex:''' Yeah, well, I'm not doing much good out here!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' All those vines, the seedlings, everything-- They're just puppets to the plant. Stop those nanites in the core, and you cut the strings.
: '''Rex:''' On it! Huh?!
: '''Agent Six:''' Watch it, Rex.
: '''Rex:''' Whoa! All I want are my goggles. All I've wanted all day are my goggles, and this EVOs been blocking me over and over! Hey, Bobo, you know how to shoot one of these?
: '''Bobo:''' Eh, how hard could it be?
: '''Rex:''' Load me into this thing and point it right at that EVO's sweet spot. And hurry. I got better stuff to do.
: '''Bobo:''' You do know that's 30,000 gallons of raw sewage you're aimin' at?
: '''Rex:''' Don't remind me. Oh... Yuck! Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck!
: '''Agent Six:''' Elegant solution, Rex.
: '''Bobo:''' You don't smell elegant. You stink worse than me. I'm a little jealous.
: '''Black Knight:''' All right, Rex. Get to work.
: '''Rex:''' Work? What do you mean? I just served that vegetable!
: '''Black Knight:''' You cut the strings, but you still have to fix the puppets.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' She's right, Rex.
: '''Black Knight:''' You want to cure the world? Start curing.
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex:''' Whoa, man, I'm beat! I don't think I can move another inch if you paid me.
: ''[Goggle girl rides past him]''
: '''Rex:''' Gotta move! See ya! Hey! Stop for a second! Six, I'm really starting to think this girl's got some kind of EVO action going on-- Teleporter, speedster, something.
: '''Goggle girl:''' Hey!
: '''Rex:''' Huh? Six, she's not just a teleporter. She can make doubles of herself-- Multiple abilities! She's an EVO, like me!
: '''Goggle girl:''' It's the skeevy guy who's been chasing me. He was chasing me, too. And me. What do you want?
: '''Rex:''' You took my goggles! I want them back!
: '''Goggle girl:''' Hey, Einstein, did you see our logo? That stands for "Goggle Girl", as in the delivery service. You haven't ever heard of us?
: '''Rex:''' Um... No.
: '''Goggle girl:''' "Nothing is cuter than a girl on a scooter." Kind of hard to miss.
: ''[Goggle girl groans]''
: '''Goggle girl:''' It's the worst slogan ever.
: '''Rex:''' But-- But my goggles!
: '''Goggle girl:''' Part of our costume. The boss buys them in bulk, along with these cheesy wigs he makes us wear. It's kind of lame.
: '''Rex:''' In bulk?! Those goggles?! But... They're one-of-a-kind! They're special! They're-- They're... I'll just go now. Nope. Nope. Definitely not.
: '''Agent Six:''' I still don't know why those goggles were so important to you.
: '''Rex:''' You gave to me, Six. It was the first present, the first nice thing that I remember getting since you found me. You said they were special, and that made me feel special.
: '''Six:''' Yes, about those goggles... Apparently, according to Bobo, I may have misled you. There was dozens of them in the Providence service bay.
: '''Rex:''' I knew the story was fake, but you told it because you cared about me. That's what made them special.
: '''Agent Six:''' I see.
: '''Bobo:''' Hey, champ. You got a package.
: '''Goggle girl:''' Sign, please.
: '''Agent Six:''' It's for you. From us. Just open it.
: '''Rex:''' My goggles!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Better. We commissioned an enhanced version.
: '''Rex:''' Cool! Infrared... Microscopic... Nanovision?! Thanks, you guys. You really are one-of-a-kind.
: '''Bobo:''' Those are great, but these are me.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' I just need to hold on to them for a few more hours while I run a full diagnostic.
: '''Rex:''' A few hours?! I just got them! Aw!
: '''Bobo:''' Here-- Because I care.
: '''Goggle girl:''' They actually look kinda cute.
: '''Rex:''' Hey, doc! No rush!
: '''Bobo:''' Ain't love grand?
===Black and White===
: '''Calan:''' Be advised, we've got activity. Major activity. Stop right there, or we'll shoot! Don't make me do it.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, I know what you're thinking, but this is totally not what it looks like.
: '''Calan:''' Calan to command, tell Black Knight-- We have apprehended the intruders. Repeat, we got'em.
: '''Rex:''' No! Get out of my head! Stop it! Stop! Stop with the talking! A dream. Oh, thank you! For a second, I swore that I heard his voice. It was almost like he was in the-- Room. Huh?!
: '''White Knight:''' I was wondering if I was gonna have to send the monkey in with a bucket of water. But I thought, "why should he have all the fun?" Five minutes-- Situation room. Consider this your wake-up call.
: '''Rex:''' Aren't you supposed to be playing dead? You're lucky Black Knight doesn't know you're here.
: '''White Knight:''' Black Knight thinks what I want her to think. With the installation of the new regime, I suspected that there was more going on at providence than just this new control protocol. I decided to test my hypothesis. I needed time to operate freely without prying eyes. So I went off the grid.
: '''Rex:''' And from the smell of it, you haven't changed out of your suit since then.
: ''[Bobo sniffs]''
: '''White Knight:''' I've been busy. I've been tracking their operations. They involve familiar locales and even more familiar machinery.
: '''Rex:''' You still use a camera with film? Do they even make that stuff anymore?
: '''White Knight:''' What they don't make are machines like these. This is the wreckage of Rylander's lab.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Are they doing what I think they're doing?
: '''Rex:''' Do what?
: '''White Knight:''' It appears that this new Providence is restarting the nanite program.
: '''Rex:''' There is no way my brother would help restart something that nearly destroyed the world. There's got to be a good explanation. We should just ask him.
: '''White Knight:''' We can't risk direct contact. We need to infiltrate Providence, download her computer banks, and assess how far along they are before we take any other actions.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Over there.
: '''Rex:''' Just saying there's more here than meets the eye. Whoa!
: '''Six:''' Breaking into Providence? That's a big move, even for you. Black Knight is sure to have enhanced the security systems. We may be able to breach the perimeter defenses, but once inside, we'd be blind targets.
: '''White Knight:''' You'd be right if we were playing on her board.
: '''Six:''' Forgive me for doubting you.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, is someone gonna tell me what these are for? This is so not going to work.
: '''Six:''' Trust the plan.
: '''Rex:''' Huh? Okay, so, maybe they worked. But how'd you get them to do it on cue?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' All a matter of timing. Assuming we get past the outer perimeter, securing the data is a completely different story. Providence encrypts all data. We need to disable multiple units before we can download anything off the mainframe. Doing that undetected is ''[sighs]'' insane.
: '''Rex:''' Finally, a voice of reason. I'm calling my brother. Took the lady with three phds to realize what I've been saying all along is right. Hey, that costs money! I'm over my minutes!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' How did you... This is...
: '''Six:''' Doable.
: '''Rex:''' Do what? What is that? A secret passage.
: '''White Knight:''' When they built the tower, I had them install, these-- Upper-management corridors.
: '''Six:''' In the old days, they called passages like these the king's road.
: '''White Knight:''' From here, we face some unknowns. Stick to the plan. Or we could die.
: '''Rex:''' What?! Me?! What about you?! Part of the plan was to do this quietly.
: '''Calan:''' Stop right there, or we'll shoot!
: ''[Dr. Holiday gasps]''
: '''Rex:''' Here we go. Ok, I know what you're thinking, but this is totally not what it looks like.
: '''White Knight:''' Stand down, Rex.
: ''[Calan laughs]''
: '''Calan:''' Welcome back, sir. We've been waiting for you.
: '''Rex:''' Que, huh?
: '''Calan:''' Sorry for the scare, Rex. We couldn't guarantee the Black Knight wasn't taper our communications. It was best to keep radio silence. In any case-- Say hello to your man on the inside. He've got a bomb! All units, fall back, fall back! Captain Calan, do you copy? Report.
: '''White Knight:''' Ready for a repeate performance?
: '''Calan:''' Ready when you are, sir. Good luck, everyone. They're headed for the... petting zoo.
: '''Holiday:''' Here it is. Just like he said.
: '''White Knight:''' This is the Hive. The central nervous system of the entire complex. An electric field protects the inner chambers. We'll need the circuit bandage.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' I've got an idea, but you'll have to go in partially naked. We've got eyes everywhere.
: '''Six:''' Good. Knight and I will handle the encryption towers. You know what to do with this.
: '''Rex:''' No sweat. I'm on it. Just have to make one quick detour. Bro? You in here? Oh, no. No, no, no!
: '''Caesar:''' Rex, is that you? What brings you here?
: ''[Six groans]''
: '''Six:''' Partially naked. Tower one clear. Proceed to next phase.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Got it. Redirecting the data flow now.
: '''Calan:''' Anyone hear for the monkey?
: '''Rex:''' Huh?!
: '''Bobo:''' Offical pet desk. Keep your distance.
: '''Rex:''' Is that Dr. Rylander?
: '''Caesar:''' It is. Well, almost. After you brought back Van Kleiss, I couldn't help but to wonder if perhaps I might do the same for him. Unfortunately, Van Kleiss was already great in tune the nanites. As you can see, Dr. Rylander-- wasn't.
: '''Rex:''' Ok, whatever. Listen, I'm here on a secret mission.
: '''Caesar:''' Secret?
: '''Rex:''' White Knight said--
: '''Caesar:''' White Knight is alive?
: '''Rex:''' If you can call him that. Anyway, he says... you might wanna sit down for this part? That Black Knight is restarting the nanite program. Don't you think that's messed up?
: '''Caesar:''' On the contrary. I'm in charge of it.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Commencing download in T-2 minutes. White Knight has infiltrated sector three. You're right. They are monitoring our movements. How did you know?
: '''White Knight:''' It's what I would do. Now start evac protocols.
: '''Black Knight:''' I've torn this facility apart looking for that? When I found it, I still couldn't get to it. Bio-feed security system-- Clever. You have to be nanite-free to open it. I guessed you weren't dead. I knew if I let enough info leak about what we're doing here, you've showed up, eventually. I'll take it.
: '''White Knight:''' You can try.
: '''Black Knight:''' What ever you say. You were the boss.
: '''White Knight:''' That's not a providence toy.
: '''Black Knight:''' A woman is entitled her secrets. Especially when those secrets keep me alive.
: ''[Black Knight grunts]''
: '''White Knight:''' Ohh! What I could've done with you if I hired you first.
: '''Black Knight:''' Don't fool yourself, White.
: '''White Knight:''' Ohh, ohh, ohh!
: '''Black Knight:''' You were bandage at best. the Consortium knew that you weren't the leader for the future. Stand down, old man!
: '''White Knight:''' I've got a few secrets of my own, kid. After all, this was my office. Consortium or not, it will be again.
: '''Black Knight:''' Ugh!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Be advised, they're on to us. Making for the rendezvous.
: '''Six:''' I'll take my swords back now. Please.
: '''Rex:''' What are you doing, helping Black Knight? She's obviously the more psycho of the two knights.
: '''Caesar:''' I'm not helping the Black Knight do anything. I'm trying to fix things. The day everything changed. We never imagined what would happen when we released the nanites.
: '''Rex:''' Release them?! You caused the nanite event?!
: '''Caesar:''' It was the only way we were going to save the world.
: '''Rex:''' You unleashed the worst man-made disaster the world has ever seen!! You've ruined countless lives!! How can you say that you saved anything?!
: '''Caesar:''' You weren't there... not in any way that mattered! If we hadn't--
: '''Rex:''' Hold that thought. Here, doggy, doggy.
: '''Six:''' Excessive?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Sweet, actually. Now you're overdoing it.
: '''White Knight:''' ''[panting]'' Are we finished here? ''[screams]'' Careful, Black. Your council wouldn't be too pleased if you destroyed the very thing you're after.
: '''Black Knight:''' If doesn't have to be like this, White! The Consortium may have lost faith in you, but you know my methods are right. Come back. Under my protection, who knows? There may even be a promotion in it for you.
: '''White Knight:''' You would turn on your own masters?
: '''Black Knight:''' For that kind of power, wouldn't you?
: '''White Knight:''' You would turn on your own masters?
: '''Black Knight:''' For that kind of power, wouldn't you?
: '''White Knight:''' I am going to stop the Consortium. If you or Providence gets in my way, this tape goes public.
: '''Black Knight:''' Wait!
: '''Caesar:''' Rex, stop! You're destroying my work!
: '''Rex:''' Your work is done! And so are we! I got it. Time to blow this--
: '''Black Knight:''' Stand down, Rex. Face it, kiddo... today is not your day.
: '''Rex:''' Actually, today's wednesday, and wednesday means fiesta night at the cafeteria. Getting in is going to be cake... very dangerous cake. Any bright ideas on how we're getting out?
: '''Bobo:''' I got one word for you, kid-- Plumbing.
: '''Rex:''' I got it. Time to blow this...
: '''Bobo:''' Taco stand.
: '''White Knight:''' Aah!
: '''Bobo:''' Me and Van Gogh, unappreciated in our time.
: '''Rex:''' All of that-- Was for that?! I got nanites, billions of 'em.
: '''White Knight:''' Not like this one, Rex. This is a Meta Nanite. One of several. Hardwired into its design is a program for the original Dominion Code.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Dominion Code? I thought that was a myth.
: '''White Knight:''' I can assure you, doctor, it is very real. Each one gives its host control over different building blocks of the universe- matter, antimatter, elemental, space, time, reality. With the complete code, you can control them. And through them, you control ''everything''. In sort, it's the God Code.
: '''Rex:''' The Consortium want to be...gods?
: '''White Knight:''' If it wasn't for the original Nanite Event scattering the Metas across the globe, they may have already succeeded. The situation has changed, people. Black Knight has been searching the globe for the other Meta-Nanites. She needs them all to complete the Master Program. As long as we're keeping her secret, she'll hold off. But sooner or later, she'll be coming for this with the full power of Providence and the Consortium at her back. So... if you want to move on, forget what I've told you.
: '''Rex:''' You're not getting rid of us that easily, old man. My parents died for this. Black Knight wants war, war she gets.
===Deadzone===
: '''Noah:''' You said it was gonna be fun. You said there'd be hot girls, great bands.
: '''Rex:''' It was an honest mistake. They called it the world's largest british rock festival.
: '''Noah:''' Yeah, because it was a convention for english geologists!
: '''Rex:''' Okay, yes, maybe we did just drive two days for some boring science conference because I didn't actually read past the first paragraph of the website. But we did get some cool free Schwag. Look!
: '''Noah:''' I've seen it. It's a pile of rocks!
: '''Rex:''' No, look!
: '''Feakins:''' Hey! What are you doing? Leave me alone!
: '''Rex:''' Pull over.
: '''Noah:''' You know that guy?
: '''Rex:''' Nope. But I know an opportunity to tweak the Black Knight when I see one.
: '''Noah:''' No way. I haven't showered in two days. You real haven't showered in two days. This car is not stopping until we get home. Real mature.
: '''Rex:''' Just give me five minutes. I'll grab him before they even notice. Think of it this way. At least something fun will come out of this trip. Shh.
: '''Feakins:''' I don't understand what you're saying, guy.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Providence Agent:''' Just take a stay back, Rex. You don't know what you're messing with here.
: '''Rex:''' Yeah, well, you do know what you're messing with! This! Huh?
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Rex:''' Hey! Who's messing with this?
: '''Providence Agent:''' Anything you want to add to that smack talk?
: ''[Rex chuckles nervously]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Providence Agent:''' Let's go.
: '''Rex:''' I don't know what you did to my powers, but I'd keep the hands off the jacket, if I were you. Uh, on second thought, take the jacket. Thinking about a new one anyway.
: '''Providence Agent:''' We're gonna bring him with us? He's harmless as long as we've got Feakins.
: '''Rex:''' What's a Feakin?
: '''Noah:''' Come on, Rex. You gonna stand there all night getting hugs from your old Providence buddies?
: '''Rex:''' No, don't! Or, uh, you're gonna make Agent Six over there even more mad than he already is.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Providence Agent:''' Move!
: '''Feakins:''' Aah! What are you doing, guy?!
: '''Noah:''' So, what's--
: '''Rex:''' Drive! Drive!
: '''Noah:''' Aah! Who is he?! What's going on?
: '''Rex:''' Who are you? What's going on?
: '''Feakins:''' Do either of you have a milkshake?
: '''Providence Agent:''' Pull over!
: '''Noah:''' You want to get them to stop that? What happened?
: '''Rex:''' Let me guess. You're Feakins.
: '''Feakins:''' Yeah, and I am very queasy back here! If we don't get me a milkshake, it's not gonna be my fault if my lunch ends up all over this very nice leather seat!
: '''Rex:''' Somehow he's fritzing out my powers. It's like there's a deadzone around him.
: '''Noah:''' You talking about nanites or his personality?
: '''Providence Agent:''' No more warnings. Pull over!
: '''Noah:''' Whoa!
: ''[Noah gasps]''
: '''Feakins:''' We're not gonna make it!
: '''Noah:''' Yes, we are! This is a '77! They don't make'em like this anymore! WHOO-HOO! Aah!
: ''[Noah gasps]''
: '''Noah:''' That was a '77! They don't make'em anymore! My granddad's gonna kill me!
: '''Rex:''' Looks like he'll have to wait in line.
: ''[Feakins gasps]''
: '''Feakins:''' How great is this?! You guys were at the convention, too?
: '''Rex:''' Come on! If we get out of here now, they'll spend the next couple hours looking for the car before they figure out where it went.
: '''Feakins:''' So, what's your favorite geological area? I'm a proterozoic man. Of course, the hadean has its merits, too.
: '''Noah:''' You couldn't take five minutes to read the whole website?
<hr width80%>
: '''Noah:''' Thank you! I can't tell you how glad we are you're open. I just want to get cleaned up and get some sleep.
: '''Feakins:''' Hold on! Pardon me, but what kind of room service does this establishment offer? What if I want a milkshake?
: '''Rex:''' And that kind of brings you up to date, doc.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Well, that explains why you suddenly dropped of my tracking grid. The good news is, the deadzone Feakins creates means the Black Knight can't use your nanites to track you either.
: '''Rex:''' Now that Feakins isn't right next to me, it's not as bad. I can still feel them. It's just that they feel all fuzzy. I bet if I put some distance between us, my powers would bounce right back.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You cannot let him out of your sight, Rex. Don't you see why Black Knight wants him? He's the ultimate insurance against any EVO.
: '''Rex:''' Not just any. Me.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You've got to hang on to him. I'm on my way to you now.
: '''Rex:''' Hey, don't worry about me. I-I may not have my powers, but I've got Noah. We can handle things until you get here.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Just stay put and don't draw attention to yourself.
: '''Feakins:''' I know this is your motel! But judging by your office, you and me got a different idea of what "clean" means! Can you believe that guy!
: '''Rex:''' Yeah, the last part might be a problem, doc.
: '''Feakins:''' Oh. Okay if you guys take this bed?
: '''Noah:''' Providence we can deal with. It's him I'm worried about.
: '''Black Knight:''' Speak.
: '''Black Pawn:''' We lost them.
: '''Black Knight:''' I want every asset we have in the state mobilized. Do you understand? Find them!
: '''Noah:''' No way! You picked out this disguise. You wear it.
: '''Feakins:''' I didn't know it was made of acrylic! You want me to have a relapse of my eczema? 'Cause it won't be pretty! I get all flaky!
: '''Rex:''' Guys, the whole point of the disguises is to not attract attention.
: '''Noah:''' Fine! Why do I always have to be the mature one?
: '''Rex:''' Come on.
: '''Feakins:''' We've only got a couple hours to get to our new rendezvous with Holiday.
: '''Rex:''' Aren't you going to demand a milkshake?
: '''Feakins:''' Thanks, guy.
: '''Noah:''' What?! All you've done is moan about milkshakes. Because we were in a car. I don't get airsick.
: '''Feakins:''' So, why would I need a milkshake? But if there's a decent sushi bar nearby--
: ''[Noah groans]''
: '''Rex:''' Wait.
: ''[Feakins sneezes]''
: '''Feakins:''' What? I said I was allergic to acrylic!
: '''Rex:''' Hang on!
: '''Feakins:''' Whoa. You gotta stop this thing.
: '''Noah:''' You gotta be kidding me!
: '''Feakins:''' It's not my fault I got a delicate stomach!
: '''Rex:''' Ugh! This isn't even really a car!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Oh!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Those two agents on the plane are gonna call in others. We gotta go!
: '''Noah:''' How are we gonna get anywhere without a car?
: '''Rex:''' We've got a chance we can get on a train.
: '''Noah:''' It's pitch dark. We're never gonna find the tracks before that train passes!
: ''[Feakins laughs]''
: '''Feakins:''' Yeah, very funny. Come on, guy, quit joking around.
: '''Noah:''' What are you talking about?
: '''Feakins:''' Well, given the shale and quartz in this soil, the train tracks have to be down that way. I mean, that's just obvious stuff to rock lovers like us, am I right? I don't believe it! An entire train car filled with ice cream... And there's no blender!
: '''Noah:''' So close, and yet no milkshake.
: '''Rex:''' Well, I'm starved. Let's eat. We're all gonna need our strength. Cherry-Berry Chunky Nut?
: '''Feakins:''' I'm allergic to ice cream.
: '''Rex:''' How can you love milkshakes and be allergic to ice cream?
: '''Noah:''' Do you really want to hear him answer that?
: '''Rex:''' Look, I'm sorry. I know it's been a crazy day for you.
: '''Feakins:''' I woke up yesterday thinking I was just a regular accountant who loved rocks... Only to discover that I'm actually this super-important guy who everyone's after because I got some kind of amazing power!
: '''Rex:''' Lucky you. Move! Move! We're close. We're going to make it to Holiday.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, I can't stay here. We'll have to meet somewhere else.
: '''Rex:''' I see the perfect place.
: '''Black Knight:''' Let's end this game, Rex.
: '''Rex:''' Black Knight?
: '''Feakins:''' I don't believe it. The Black Knight works at Bob's Biscuit Barn!
: '''Black Knight:''' Now that we've found you, there's nowhere to hide. It should not have taken the most advanced satellite system in the world this long to pinpoint them. The excuses can wait. Right now, I want this wrapped up.
: '''Noah:''' How did Black Knight know where we were?
: '''Rex:''' I don't know.
: '''Noah:''' Even if you make it to the Holiday, is Black Knight just gonna find us?
: '''Rex:''' I don't know!
: '''Feakins:''' When are we gonna get a milkshake?!
: '''Rex:''' I don't know!
: '''Feakins:''' I'm in a car. It's moving. I'm getting queasy back here.
: '''Rex:''' Then get out of the car!
: '''Feakins:''' Aah!
: '''Black Pawn:''' Be advised-- Primary target Feakins is to be recovered alive if possible.
: '''Rex:''' You know how I said we don't get through this, with or without my powers? Well, it looks like I was wrong. They're after Feakins. That means "Noah" has a shot at making a break for it and getting to Holiday. Do you understand what I'm saying?
: '''Black Pawn:''' Let the breakaway go. And stay on the primary target.
: '''Rex:''' Huh. I guess they're not afraid of me with you standing here. Which is... Awesome!
: '''Black Pawn:''' Pull up! Pull up!
: '''Rex:''' Mwah! Man, have I missed you!
: '''Noah:''' Guess I don't need this anymore.
: '''Rex:''' I can't believe that plan actually worked.
: '''Noah:''' Feakins still has to make it to Holiday.
: '''Feakins:''' Oh, I'm not feeling so good.
: '''Rex:''' Whoa!
: '''Black Pawn:''' The primary target is unconventional. Ground units, reroute to intercept. We will cover.
: '''Rex:''' We're going after Feakins! Come on!
: '''Pilot:''' Ground units are down. Moving to pursue a primary target.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Black Pawn:''' Stay on Rex. If we don't engage him, he'll tear us apart.
: '''Noah:''' Whoa!
: '''Rex:''' Sit tight.
: '''Noah:''' Uh, where would I go?
: '''Rex:''' Mind if I borrow this?
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Noah:''' Rex!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Providence Agent screams]''
: '''Rex:''' Ow! Hey, watch it! I'm still a little rusty here! These guys are tough.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Aah! Hang on to me!
: '''Noah:''' Aah! Whoa!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Where's Feakins?
: '''Rex:''' Oh, come on! This guy is killing me!
: '''Noah:''' Maybe he'll still coming.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' We can't wait. Providence followed you here. What?
: '''Rex:''' We got him! Let's go!
: '''Noah:''' It's too late.
: '''Black Knight:''' Where is my visual?
: '''Black Pawn:''' They're just gone.
: '''Rex:''' What just happened?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' It's a prototype stealth device built into the lab. That's why I had to get you in here. It was the only way to get you out of Black Knight's sight.
: '''Noah:''' So, that's it?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' That's it. The good guys won.
: '''Rex:''' Oh, hey, by the way, doc, you're a big geology buff, aren't you? So, did we hook you up with the perfect safe house or what? You'll never have to worry about driving without a milkshake again.
: '''Feakins:''' Oh, it's great, guy. The only problem is the gas.
: '''Rex:''' Well, I'm sure we can kick in a little gas money, too.
: ''[Feakins farting]''
: '''Feakins:''' Yeah, that's not what I meant.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, we can't stay.
: '''Rex:''' You got that right!
: '''Feakins:''' Wait. I just wanna say... Its not easy being thrown together with someone who can be a little, well... Difficult.
: '''Rex:''' Hey... You're not so bad.
: '''Feakins:''' Me?! I was talking about you!
: ''[Black Knight sighs]''
: '''Black Knight:''' Since the search for Feakins is going nowhere, we have no choice but to become much more aggressive... With Rex.

: '''Circe:''' I'm not leaving you guys.
: '''Skywwd:''' You can pass as human. Go-- Before Providence gets you too.
: '''Black Pawn:''' The girl! She's with them!
: '''Skwwyd:''' Run!
: '''Rex:''' Hmm? What's up?
: '''Circe:''' You're the only person I could turn to.
: '''Rex:''' Circe?
: '''Circe:''' I don't know. That's the hardest part.
: '''Rex:''' You did what you had to do.
: '''Circe:''' I left them there, Rex. Our friends. Providence has to be stopped. Someone needs to do something.
: '''Rex:''' ''[puts his arms around Circe to comfort her]'' We are.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Am I disturbing you two?
: '''Rex:''' No.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' White Knight wants to talk with you.
: '''Rex:''' Ugh. What's he gonna yell at me for this time?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' No, I meant Circe. He wants to talk to her.
: '''Circe:''' Providence has been hunting these down, too?
: '''White Knight:''' You didn't tell her about them, Rex?
: '''Rex:''' I thought the Master Control Nanites were supposed to be top secret.
: '''White Knight:''' She has to know if she's going to lead the mission.
: '''Rex:''' Her? That was supposed to be my mission.
: '''White Knight:''' It's no one's mission. It's about getting the job done.
: '''Circe:''' Why me?
: '''White Knight:''' Intelligence indicates that Providence has targeted a Master Control Nanite in Abysus. In Van Kleiss' old castle, to be more precise. You're the only one with the knowledge to get us in there.
: '''Rex:''' I've been there before. How hard could it be? Circe, you don't have to.
: '''Circe:''' If it helps stop Black Knight in Providence, I'm in.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, Doc. We made it. The new power suit gave me more range, just like you said.
: ''[Circe whistles]''
: '''Circe:''' Thanks, Banak. We're trying to keep a low profile. Don't tell anyone, okay?
: '''Rex:''' Good thing you knew the secret whistle or we might have been rooting around forever.
: ''[Rex chuckles]''
: '''Rex:''' Get it? "Root"? Uh... This can't be easy coming back here. I owe you.
: '''Circe:''' Forget it. We're even. I used you in the past, now you and your friends are using me.
: '''Rex:''' Is there some sort of problem between you and me?
: '''Circe:''' There's nothing between you and me. Just the mission. I don't have good memories of this place. Let's just leave it at that, okay?
: '''Rex:''' Fine. I'm surprised we haven't run into-- Ugh!
: ''[Circe echoing roar]''
: '''Skalamander:''' Traitor! Stop her!
: '''Circe:''' Aah!
: '''Rex:''' Can you chill?! There's no time for this. Who's leading you now that Van Kleiss is gone? I need to speak to your leader. Figures. Biowolf, we have a problem. And... I need your help.
: '''Biowulf:''' I will listen.
: '''Rex:''' Great, because--
: '''Biowulf:''' Only after you. earn the right-- Through combat.
: ''[Biowulf growls]''
: ''[Rex spits]''
: '''Rex:''' At least Van Kleiss was civilized. Buckle up, dog boy.
: '''Biowulf:''' You may speak. This nanite you want-- It's not here. None of us have seen it up in the castle or the blast source.
: '''Rex:''' I didn't say up. It's down. White Knight thinks it's under the castle. Some other secure lab area.
: '''Biowulf:''' The primary chamber?
: '''Circe:''' It's under the castle? Van Kleiss always said it was forbidden for us to go there.
: '''Rex:''' You think he remembered to tell Black Knight that? Let me take it out of here.
: '''Biowulf:''' No! You're a traitor to your own kind. A lapdog to these humans. I've heard enough!
: '''Rex:''' All of us will fall-- All EVOs-- If she gets it. Black Knight is worse than you know. If I don't get the nanite out of here, Providence will take it.
: '''Biowulf:''' Providence! This is Abysus, the heart of the EVO world. Providence wouldn't dare.
: '''Circe:''' The sentries have spotted something.
: '''Rex:''' Yeah. I wonder who.
: '''Providence Soldier:''' Black Knight, the assault forces are in place.
: '''Black Knight:''' The field is yours. We've secured the borders. No chance White Knight and his team will get in the country to interfere.
: '''Biowulf:''' The castle is surrounded.
: '''Rex:''' Standard operating procedure for Providence is to secure the perimeter, then close for attack. Black Knight will have snuck forces around back.
: '''Skalamander:''' How should we counter?
: '''Rex:''' Easy.
: '''Biowulf:''' You take your nanite. I'll decide how to deal with the invaders.
: '''Black Pawn:''' Deploy the collars. Rise. Forward. Attack.
: '''Rex:''' The nanite event blew away half the castle. This must have been deep enough to survive it. Huh? You hear that?
: '''Circe:''' No. Hear what?
: '''Rex:''' Uh... Nothing. This place would make a great rec room. Maybe a karaoke machine over there--
: '''Circe:''' Van Kleiss would send volunteers down here to try and get in. None of them ever came back.
: '''Rex:''' Well... That's encouraging.
: '''Circe:''' What is it?
: '''Rex:''' They're... I-I think they're nanites. They're following our lights. They can't see in the dark. I have a plan. Lead them back.
: '''Circe:''' ''[concerned]'' Rex?
: '''Rex:''' When I say "roll," roll.
: '''Circe:''' What?!
: '''Rex:''' Roll! Circe, sing!
: ''[Circe uses her ultrasonic blasts on the EVOs and beams at Rex.]''
: ''[Circe echoing roar]''
: '''Rex:''' We always made a good team.
: '''Circe:''' It won't hold them long.
: '''Rex:''' You think this is why Van Kleiss always wanted me-- So I could get him in here?
: '''Biowulf:''' Providence has breached the castle. We can't hold our position much longer.
: '''Rex:''' Go. I'll get the Master-Control Nanite. ''[Notices how worried Circe is about him probably not returning]'' This isn't Hong Kong. I'll be okay. I'll meet up with you soon.
: '''Biowulf:''' They've turned our own people against us.
: '''Circe:''' Let me see what I can do.
: ''[Circe uses her ultrasonic bursts on several collared EVOs]''.
: ''[Circe echoing roar]''
: ''[Circe gasping]''
: '''Circe:''' So many.
: '''Biowulf:''' You can't stop the ones they've collared.
: '''Circe:''' I can go down trying.
: ''[Circe echoing roar]''
: '''Black Pawn:''' Her sonics are disrupting the offensive.
: ''[Circe echoing roar]''
: '''Black Pawn:''' Hyah! Unh!
: '''Biowulf:''' If we can't defeat them, we'll take down as many as we can fighting.
: '''Circe:''' This isn't one battle. It's a war. And we can't let it end here before Rex has the Master-Control Nanite.
: '''Biowulf:''' What, then?
: '''Circe:''' Tactical retreat.
: ''[Circe whistles]''
: '''Rex:''' Huh. Dad.
: '''Providence Soldier:''' Outer rooms of the castle secured.
: '''Black Pawn:''' I don't need you here, Black Knight. It's only a matter of time. We will take the castle piece by piece.
: ''[Skalamander growling]''
: '''Black Pawn:''' You are ours now. Down.
: ''[Skalamander grunting]''
: '''Skalamander:''' Rex is here. He will make you bow to us!
: '''Black Knight:''' This is all a diversion. Find Rex before he gets the Master-Control Nanite.
: '''Black Pawn:''' Yes, Ma'am.
: '''Black Knight:''' Either you do it or I will. I'm on my way.
: '''Rex:''' This place... Rylander had the same type of lab.
: '''Soldier:''' Security system engaged.
: '''Rex:''' No!
: '''Soldier:''' Intruder. Provide authorized identity or be terminated. Identify. Identify. Identify. Identify.
: '''Rex:''' Aah! I'm Rex! Rex Salazar!
: '''Soldier:''' Salazar genetype-- Accepted.
: ''[Rex sighs]''
: '''Rex:''' There you are, you little troublemaker. You're coming home with the good guys. Uhh. Weird. Uh... I don't suppose you're looking for the karaoke machine? Running into you-- What a coincidence. Come down here a lot? Whoa! Missed me.
: '''Black Pawn:''' I have the nanite. Keep the boy busy while I get it to Black Knight.
: '''Rex:''' No!
: ''[Circe echoing roar]''
: '''Rex:''' You two sure know how to make an entrance.
: '''Circe:''' The others are getting hammered by Provindence. They're barely holding them off in the dungeon.
: '''Rex:''' Gee! Van Kleiss has a dungeon. What a surprise.
: '''Biowulf:''' This is no joke. They might die because I came down here to save you.
: '''Rex:''' I won't let them get taken. I promise you that. But I need you to let me call the shots.
: ''[Biowulf sighs]''
: '''Biowulf:''' Very well.
: '''Rex:''' Circ, dungeon left or right?
: '''Circe:''' Left. The dungeon's the other way.
: '''Rex:''' I'm not looking for the dungeon. I'm looking for the scouts.
: '''Black Pawn:''' Nothing.
: '''Rex:''' Well, maybe a little something.
: ''[Circe echoing roar]''
: '''Rex:''' Scouts. Classic Providence tactics-- So they don't get ambushed. Uhh. What is this place?
: '''Biowulf:''' The old reservoir. It goes to the river.
: '''Rex:''' Perfect. ''[deep voice]'' Scout to command. West wing, reservoir-- We've found a back way onto what must be the main EVO force. It's five times the size of what you're fighting.
: '''Black Pawn:''' Roger, scout. All forces, withdraw from dungeon siege. Report to west wing, reservoir. Ambush maneuver lambda.
: '''Rex:''' ''[normal voice]'' Get your troops. It's bath time.
: '''Biowulf:''' Now you bow to Rex!
: '''Rex:''' The Providence goons are contained, Biowulf. They shouldn't be any more trouble. And I got the Master-Control Nanite. Looks like mission accomplished.
: '''Circe:''' Rex, I--
: ''[She and Rex cling to each other as the castle begins shaking.]''
: '''Black Knight:''' Rex, order your friends to surrender. You're all under Providence custody. I always knew it might be impossible to capture the Master-Control Nanite in the heart of the nanite infestation. So the solution was to remove it.
: '''Circe:''' It's Hong Kong all over again.
: '''Rex:''' No. We can fight. We'll double back and-- A-and then--
: '''Biowulf:''' Go! Get the nanite out of here!
: '''Rex:''' No! I promised you!
: '''Biowulf:''' You were right. That nanite is more important than anyone here. Including myself. I am the leader. I give the orders. Run!
: ''[Rex panting]''
: '''Rex:''' They were counting on me. I don't want to leave them.
: '''Circe:''' I did what I had to do. You do what you have to. I want you to know, all this was never about me just using you.
: ''[Circe gasps]''
: ''[Finally admits her true romantic feelings for Rex in the form of a passionate kiss. She then pushes a shocked Rex off the ledge, so he could escape; and her getting collared and captured in his stead. She smiled with tears in her eyes, with the promise that she would be okay.]''
<hr width80%>
:'''Rex:''' ''[burdened by Circe admitting her intense love for him and sacrifice]'' We all make sacrifices for the things we care about-- The people we love. But when the stakes are this high, who can we trust? What would that power do to anyone who had it? They attacked Abysus. What's stopping them from attacking us for these nanites?
: '''White Knight:''' They will-- Sooner or later. That's why I want to turn the tables on them first.
: '''Rex:''' You know how to do that so we survive in one piece?
: '''White Knight:''' Not yet.
===Remote Control===
: '''Bobo:''' Providence goons are thick as fleas tonight, and I know fleas.
: '''Rex:''' We're gonna be late if we have to keep sneaking around.
: '''Bobo:''' After you.
: '''Skwydd:''' Rex must have bailed on us-- Again.
: '''Cricket:''' He would never do that, Skwydd. And besides, he dad to fly all the way to Honk Kong on his own. Give him some time.
: '''Tuck:''' He's here! Everything okay, Rex?
: ''[Skwydd hissing]''
: '''Skwydd:''' Cricket, Tuck, this way!
: ''[Skwydd grunts]''
: '''Skwydd:''' Ow. Yeah, I think I'll stick to ink.
: '''Cricket:''' We need to find Rex.
: '''Skwydd:''' He was supposed to find us.
: '''Tuck:''' How are we gonna--
: '''Quarry:''' Wrong. They'll be coming with me. Anybody got a problem with that?
: ''[Quarry laughs]''
: ''[Quarry grunting]''
: '''Rex:''' Tuck? Cricket? Skwydd?
: '''Bobo:''' Oh, yeah, they were here. This came out of Skwydd. Mm.
: '''Rex:''' Ew! If those Providence goons hurt them, I'm gonna--
: '''Bobo:''' What do you say you use a little of that aggression and get some answers, champ?
: '''Rex:''' What did you do with my friends? Quarry?
: '''Cricket:''' If you think we're going to thank you for getting us out of there, Quarry.
: ''[Quarry laughs]''
: '''Quarry:''' I think you're going to do exactly as I say.
: ''[Activates the mind-control collar on her neck]''
: '''Cricket:''' Aah!
: '''Bobo:''' Occupied Hong Kong-- What a dump! Where to, chief?
: '''Rex:''' I have no idea. How did he get away from Van Kleiss? How is he even alive?
: ''[Rex sighs]''
: '''Rex:''' It's cool. We're not going to hurt you. What's Providence turned into? This whole city is living in fear.
: '''Bobo:''' Well, we ain't gonna find my answers in this alley. I got a guide book. Ooh! A coupon for all-you-can-eat dim sum. What? A chimp's gotta eat.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, let's go. But keep moving. Maybe we'll turn up a clue.
: '''Bobo:''' Aw, this just breaks my heart. All that grub and no one to eat it.
: '''Monster EVO:''' Can you help a fellow EVO who's down on his luck?
: '''Rex:''' I can do better than that. Let me take care of this for you.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Ow!
: '''Bobo:''' I wanna order some chow to go. Give me some of those chicken feet, and give me the beaks, too.
: '''Rex:''' I thought that collar was supposed to make you mellow! What? Now you know Kung Fu? I don't have time for this.
: '''Bobo:''' Hey, buddy. It looked like you could use some-- Hey, where'd the charity case go?
: '''Rex:''' He had to leave suddenly. All yours. I need some time to think.
: '''Bobo:''' More for me! Go off and think your brains out, pal. You know where to find me. Ah, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship, my beak-dealing chum. And speaking of chum--
: ''[Bobo sniffs]''
: '''Bobo:''' Do I detect the delightful aroma of fish heads?
: '''Gamer boy:''' Hey, kid! You like video games? Want a cool job?
: '''Rex:''' I already have a cool job.
: '''Gamer boy:''' This is the coolest job you'll ever have. Mr. Quarry, pays top dollar for good players and I can set you up.
: '''Rex:''' Quarry? Tell me more.
: '''Huckster:''' ''[Cockney accent]'' Okay, kids. Looks like we're all here, right? Let me show you around.
: '''Quarry:''' What do you matter, the big fish? Time to reel him in.
: '''Huckster:''' This is all state-of-the-art stuff-- Exciting, new tech. You get to play as an EVO and go on a Crown Street. How cool is that?
: '''Rex:''' Hey! That looks like the EVO that jumped me.
: '''Huckster:''' We model our characters from actual EVOs. This is as close to reality as you can get.
: '''Rex:''' Hey! You guys! Oh, am I glad to see you! I-- Take that back. You've been collared! Let me help you!
: ''[Skwydd hissing]''
: '''Rex:''' Cricket, it's me-- Rex! You used to have a crush on me!
: '''Cricket:''' Ugh!
: ''[Cricket sighs]''
: '''Cricket:''' Rex, I'm so sorry. I knew what I was doing, but I couldn't control it.
: '''Rex:''' I'm okay, Cricket. You've been working on that jab, though, haven't you?
: '''Cricket:''' They're getting away.
: '''Rex:''' Let them go. They'll lead us straight to Quarry.
: '''Cricket:''' "Used to have a crush"?
: '''Rex:''' Infrared. Nice move. Providence Convoy. Great.
: '''Cricket:''' Whoa! Aah! Ugh! Aah!
: '''Rex:''' Come on, Cricket. We do this all the time. Uh, hair. Please.
: '''Bobo:''' Hey, give me some more of these deep-fried shrimp heads and a bunch of those fresh spring rolls. Hey, give me the stale spring rolls while you're at it.
: '''Female vendor:''' No more food! You have to go!
: '''Cricket:''' I recognize this place. It's where Quarry took us after we were collared. It's probably a setup.
: '''Rex:''' It's definitely a setup. You ready to go in?
: '''Cricket:''' You know how collared EVOs follow kind of like a robot. with these collars, it's worse. It's like you're a remote-controlled robot.
: '''Rex:''' That is a nasty hack.
: '''Cricket:''' It's bad enough working for Quarry. When you have free will but this--
: '''Rex:''' Skwydd! Tuck! I don't wanna hurt you.
: '''Quarry:''' Glad to hear that, Rex. Your friends are very valuable to me as are you.
: '''Rex:''' Like the new look- strapping.
: '''Quarry:''' Let's just say I had to find a way to "keep it together" after my visit to Abyus. Just one more thing you owe me for and you know how much I like a balanced book.
: '''Cricket:''' Rex! No!
: '''Quarry:''' You'll be the crown jewel of my EVO army, Rex. I may just make you my own personal slave. That collar suits you, Rex. Wish I'd had one for you back in the old days-- Would've saved me a lot of trouble.
: '''Cricket:''' Rex!
: '''Quarry:''' Oh, right. Cricket. Rex, be a good little helper and hold her down, would you?
: ''[Cricket gasps]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Quarry:''' Rex? Rex! I command you to stop!
: '''Rex:''' I quit listening to you a long time ago.
: '''Skwydd:''' Rex, I'm sorry.
: '''Rex:''' Never mind, Skwydd. Help me with Tuck. Aah! Oh, man! These nanites are smarter than usual.
: '''Cricket:''' Hurry, Rex!
: '''Rex:''' Whew! Don't think I'll be doing that again soon.
: '''Tuck:''' Thanks, man. Those all kinds of weird.
: '''Quarry:''' I've decided that you brats are not that valuable to me. Kill them all!
: '''Rex:''' We'll see.
: '''Tuck:''' Spinning donkey? Since when do street EVOs know Kung Fu?
: '''Rex:''' I know, right? How are you doing this? How are you controlling these guys.
: '''Quarry:''' I'm not would take an army of operators to control this many EVOs. I merely provide the funding and equipment. The streets provide the manpower-- Or should I say--
: ''[Quarry chuckles]''
: '''Quarry:''' Bratpower? And I paid top dollar for good players. At least by their sad standards.
: '''Rex:''' The arcade. All those kids!
: '''Quarry:''' Those brats were born to play games, which is what they think they're doing. And I thank your people for the tech. That brother of yours is quite the wiz, kid.
: '''Rex:''' Caesar would never!
: '''Cricket:''' Forget about Caesar, Rex. You know what you've got to do.
: '''Rex:''' These guys will shred you if I leave!
: '''Tuck:''' We got this, Rex. Go!
: '''Quarry:''' Once I get my hands on you, I'm gonna pop your head like a grape!
: '''Bobo:''' Oh, I am one stuffed monkey. Ooh, this might just be the year I floss. Hey! I know that noise. That's Rex. I'm coming, champ!
: ''[Bobo groans]''
: '''Bobo:''' Ooh, I better take it easy, or I'm gonna deliver a street pizza.
: ''[Bobo groans]''
: '''Female vendor:''' Next time, you're on the menu!
: '''Rex:''' Ugh! Unh!
: '''Quarry:''' You were a good earner once, Rex. But lately, you've been costing me too much.
: '''Rex:''' Ugh!
: '''Quarry:''' Now... you... pay!
: '''Cricket:''' No tongues!
: ''[Rex groaning]''
: '''Rex:''' Hyah!
: ''[Quarry laughs evilly]''
: '''Quarry:''' Consider the fact that you made me like this while I'm crushing you.
: ''[Quarry grunting]''
: '''Quarry:''' What?
: ''[Quarry straining]''
: '''Quarry:''' No! Unh! No! AAAAAH!
: '''Rex:''' Bad move, Quarry. Now, where's the "off" switch? Bingo.
: ''[Rex sighs]''
: '''Rex:''' Okay.
: '''Tuck:''' Uh, what just happened?
: '''Cricket:''' Rex happened.
: '''Gamer boy:''' No way. We were actually fighting real people? I'm outta here.
: '''Tuck:''' Nice move, Rex. I guess Quarry eats it again.
: '''Cricket:''' Where is Quarry, Rex?
: '''Rex:''' He bit off more than he could chew. Speaking of which, I'm starved. Who wants to grab a bite?
: '''Bobo:''' Ohh. Hey, Rex, when are we gonna see some action?
: '''Rex:''' I, uh, kind of took the initiative while you were chilling out. Wanna get some dim sum?
: ''[Bobo gags]''
: '''Bobo:''' Uh, no, thanks. I've had all I can eat.
: ''[Bobo gags]''
: '''Rex:''' Can we use your coupon?
: ''[Bobo gags]''
: '''Skwydd:''' You seriously thought you were gonna blow us off?
: '''Tuck:''' Not "we." "You."
: '''Rex:''' I came as soon as I could-- Honest.
: '''Cricket:''' You mean you didn't make a detour to Tokyo to buy anime?
: '''Rex:''' Okay, almost as soon. But it all turned out fine. And the most important thing is, we put a stop to that tech before there was enough of it to start a real army.
: '''Tuck:''' You can say that again.
: '''Skwydd:''' ''[Chuckling]'' Yeah.
: '''Rex:''' Now, hurry up and eat this before my chimp finds us. Mmm!
: '''Build worker:''' Okay, guys. That's the last of them. Provindence needs these machines on the next cargo ship. Let's move!
===A Brief History of Time===
: '''Van Kleiss:''' 4.000 years from my destination, and I've run out of of time. I've scarcely completed the vessel which shall deliver me to my own era. Gharun-Set, activate the traps-- Quickly! My greatest creation-- So useful to me, but too dangerous to roam free. If only I had time to destroy him, as I should. But I have a more pressing death I must prevent. My own. AAAAAAAAAAAH!
: '''Rex:''' Kind of defeating the whole stealth element of a stealth suit, Bobo.
: '''Bobo:''' Hey, now was I supposed to know that ghanoush went bad?
: '''Rex:''' Maybe because you found it in a garbage can.
: '''Bobo:''' On top of a garbage can.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Holiday to Rex. Are you at the site?
: '''Rex:''' There is not site, remember? Black Knight blew the pace to kingdom come.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Yet it's still guarded. And thanks to the data you stole from Providence, we know why.
: '''Rex:''' Van Kleiss back in time? I still find it hard to believe.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You were sent six months into the future, Rex. It stands to reason that the reverse is possible.
: '''Rex:''' Well, if you expect to find him here, maybe we should check the mummy museum. We're sensing nanites-- Definitely V.K.'s. They've been dead a long time.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Over 4,000 years. I'm also detecting tachyons-- Quantum particles that travel in time. I think it's clear what he was making.
: '''Bobo:''' A latrine?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' A time machine.
: '''Rex:''' No way he pulled it off! If mister ego made it back to here and now, we'd know about it.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Some of these nanites are considerably younger. That means he was there in two different time periods.
: '''Rex:''' Time travel gives me a headache. Just tell me-- Where is he now?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' The more accurate question is, when is he?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' AAAAAAH!
: ''[Van Kleiss gasping]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh! The ordeal is... draining. But now, back in my own time, I can replenish my nanite reserves and--
: '''Gladiator #1:''' Quis es tu?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I recognize the language, of course-- Classical latin. Qui-- Q-Qui annus est?
: '''Gladiator #1:''' What year is it? You dare question a captain of the imperial guard? Aegyptus is a roman Providence! Answer! Who are you?
: '''Gladiator #2:''' Don't bother-- He's clearly sun-mad.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' The dialect, the dress-- This is the second century A.D. A mere 2,000 years has passed. I'm only halfway home!
: '''Gladiator #1:''' Another escaped slave. Finish him and be done with it.
: ''[Gladiator #2 grunts]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' It was all the fight I could muster. I had no way to replace the nanites I'd spent in the journey, and my gauntlet had yet to recharge those that remained.
: '''Gladiator #2:''' This one shows spirit. He'll bring a good price in the arena.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' OOMPH!
: ''[Van Kleiss groans]''
: '''Gladiator #2:''' Save your strength.
: '''Gladiator #3:''' Where you're going, you'll need it.
: ''[Van Kleiss slurps]''
: ''[Van Kleiss gulps]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I intend to. Of the mysterious force, there is no sign. Yet I sense it is close-- Pursuing me even across the centuries. I am convinced it is a manifestation of time itself. My presence is a violation of physics-- An imbalance which the time stream seeks to correct... By wiping me from existence. But of this, I am certain-- If I do not return to my own time, it will surely destroy me.
: '''Gladiator #1:''' You are fortunate, slave. To die in the arena is a great honor.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' An honor I look forward to bestowing.
: ''[Gladiator #1 laughs]''
: '''Gladiator #1:''' You see? Spirit!
: ''[Van Kleiss groans]''
: '''Gladiator #3:''' Put on a good show, little man, and I promise to make your end a painless one.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Indeed?
: ''[Gladiator #3 grunts]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I, on the other hand, make no such promise.
: ''[Gladiator #3 grunting]''
: ''[Van Kleiss grunting]''
: '''Gladiator #3:''' AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
: ''[Gladiator #3 groans]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' One against so many? Hardly seems fair. For them.
: '''Gladiator #4:''' ARRRGHHHH!
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Ordinarily, I'd say "take me to your leader," but I believe he's already here.
: '''Septimius Severus:''' Great warrior... Never have I seen such a battle. I am...
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Septimius Severus, 21st emperor of Rome, founder of the severan dynasty. And, as I recall, you poisoned your own commanding officer to get his position... And wear only boots to conceal a prodigious clubfoot.
: '''Septimius Severus:''' Are you a man... Or a God?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I find both labels rather limiting. Now, then, you are going to give me whatever I require, starting with a quiet place to work. I, in return, shall ensure the growth and security of your reign as emperor. You may call me Van Kleiss.
: '''Septimius Severus:''' Whatever your desire, great Vanklios.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Actually, it's... Got a rather nice ring.
: '''Rex:''' What's with this guy? Gets a portrait done in every time period?
: '''Bobo:''' Mm. ''[muffled]'' Truly a nutjob for the ages. Mm. Speaking of nuts... Want some?
: '''Rex:''' You've been dumpster-diving again?
: '''Bobo:''' I prefer "foraging."
: '''Rex:''' Yeah. Nice sleuthing there, doc.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Nanites decay at a measurable half-life. I set our sat-net to do a global scan for the same frequency-- Ergo, Rome.
: '''Rex:''' Great. You scan for the next stop, we'll grab a pizza.
: '''Bobo:''' Pass. I'm experiencing inexpicable gastric distress.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, it would take months to scan the entire spectrum. You need to find the next decay frequency.
: '''Rex:''' Kind of like nanite connect-the-dots! Can I do it with someone else?
: '''Bobo:''' Hey, quiet, you! Rah!
: '''Rex:''' This goose chase just got a little wilder. My brother's here.
: '''Caesar:''' Caesar to Black. We've detected paleo-nanites. Tachyon readings negative. We're moving to the next hot stop.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Tachyons-- They want Van Kleiss' time machine. Follow them.
: '''Rex:''' Come on.
: '''Bobo:''' Can you give me a teeny sec? I gotta find the little gladiators' room.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Advances in the last two millenia have allowed me to complete my lab in weeks instead of months. Restrict the flow! Do you want to overload the power cells? Meanwhile, my own nanite supply continues to dwindle.
: ''[Septimius Severus panting]''
: '''Septimius Severus:''' Great Vanklios, protect me!
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I've divulged metallurgy and tactics beyond your day. No man may threaten your rule.
: '''Septimius Severus:''' This is no man-- But an apparition!
: ''[Septimius Severus grunts]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' What apparition? Speak, parasite!
: '''Septimius Severus:''' A spirit of doom! Numerous sightings-- The insulare, the rostra, the forum. Listen! It comes! It comes!
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Fool. It only wants me.
: '''Septimius Severus:''' Ugh!
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I release you. Go start a few legends.
: '''Septimius Severus:''' NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
: ''[Septimius Severus gasps]''
: '''Septimius Severus:''' Be gone! I beg of you! Aah!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, those stress lines-- It's the same pattern we saw in Egypt.
: '''Black Knight:''' Report.
: '''Caesar:''' These aqueducts are truly marvels of roman engineering.
: '''Black Knight:''' Have you picked up the next decay frequency?
: '''Caesar:''' Oh-- That. Yes. Uplinking to our global net. Odd. These tachyons seems unrelated to--
: '''Black Knight:''' We have the next target. Scandinavia. Move out. White Knight may have people on the trail. I expect you to do whatever it takes to procure the objective.
: '''Rex:''' Shh!
: '''Caesar:''' I've initiated the same steps as in Egypt! Come along.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, we need that decay frequency.
: '''Rex:''' Just one small problem, doc. This place... is toast.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex? Bobo? Respond!
: '''Rex:''' We're okay, doc. Not a mark on us.
: '''Bobo:''' Same can't be said for my stealth suit. Whoa!
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: ''[Rex and Bobo gasps]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' So many lives... It's become a blur. I don't know who I am anymore. Only that I must sail onward, ever onwoard down the river of time. Never resting, always moving. Further draining my nanite reserves beyond my ability to replenish. And each re-emergence, I am pursued by the nameless force. I now know it's personal. I am a virus-- An infection of space-time. Call it what you like. This is time's antibody. Whether I can borne home or drowned in its currents, this is my final journey.
: '''Rex:''' Hurry! I'm not sure if we here followed.
: '''Bobo:''' I'm sure.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Don't shoot! It's me.
: '''Rex:''' Holiday? Shouldn't you be at the plant, connecting the dots?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' No more dots to connect. The trail ends here. And... I'm reading a humanoid form inside.
: '''Rex:''' I'm confused. Is it a time machine or isn't it?
: '''Caesar:''' It's not a time machine. Are those really necessary?
: '''Rex:''' No way you're getting this time machine, bro!
: '''Caesar:''' I don't want it. And it's not a time machine.
: '''Bobo:''' Well, then, what is it? A meat locker for cold cuts?
: '''Caesar:''' Surprisingly close. We use this technique to transfer unstable nanites. It puts them into a state of dormancy.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Of course. It's a hibernation chamber.
: '''Caesar:''' Only his nanites were dormant. There would still be neuron flow.
: '''Rex:''' Mind telling me what that means, exactly?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' He was... Aware. The whole time, for hundreds of years.
: '''Caesar:''' He would have felt every minute pass.
: '''Rex:''' No way! He's totally a mummy!
: '''Rex and Bobo:''' Wah!
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Run! It's coming! It's coming?!
: '''Rex and Bobo:''' Wah!
: '''Rex:''' Easy, easy, Van Kleiss. You're back-- Back in your own time.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' No! No, it'll find me! It always does! You must protect me.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Tachyon readings off the chart! Rex, you can't affect that thing. I don't know what can.
: '''Caesar:''' It's a field of pure tachyons. I've got to get a sample.
: '''Rex:''' Oh, no, you don't!
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I'm back! Back in my own time! You shall not have me?! OHHHH!
: '''Bobo:''' Settle down, Van Winkle.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Rex shudders]''
: '''Rex:''' Oh, no. It couldn't be. I need some way to contain it!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Tachyons can't be contained!
: '''Caesar:''' Yes, they can. Rex!
: ''[Caesar grunts]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, it's too risky!
: '''Rex:''' But I know what this is. Correction-- I know who this is.
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex:''' Aah!
: ''[Rex groaning]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' It's... Breach.
: '''Rex:''' Breach. Breach! It's me-- Rex.
: '''Breach:''' Rex? Are you real... Or a dream?
: ''[Rex laughs]''
: '''Rex:''' Yeah, yeah, I'm-- I'm real.
: '''Breach:''' I was everywhere-- Everywhen. But I was nothing-- An emptiness, needing to be filled.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' The amp pack. Van Kleiss controlled it. When his nanites were active, Breach was drawn into his timeframe.
: ''[Van Kleiss grunts]''
: '''Caesar:''' The final joining would have destroyed them both.
: '''Breach:''' Guess I should say thanks.
: '''Rex:''' Hey, what are friends for? Um, we are still friends... Right?
: '''Caesar:''' You did well, little bro.
: '''Rex:''' And you have your time machine that... isn't a time machine. Everybody goes home happy.
: '''Caesar:''' That? A curiosity-- True. But it was never our goal.
: ''[Van Kleiss shivering]''
: ''[Van Kleiss chuckles]''
: '''Rex:''' Van Kleiss?! All this for him? what, they're gonna put him in jail?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' It's Providence, Rex. That's their jurisdiction.
: '''Caesar:''' No need to worry, little brother. He's going to be well supervised.
: '''Rex:''' Caesar, what is going on!?
: '''Caesar:''' Justice.
: '''Bobo:''' Two words-- Crème Brûlée. Ooh. Right after I make a french connection.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh!
: '''Black Knight:''' Welcome back, Van Kleiss. You look terrible. Ordinarily, I'd say get some rest, but you've had enough of that, I suppose.
: ''[Van Kleiss chuckles]''
: '''Black Knight:''' Pull it together. We have work to do. Do you know who I am?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Yes. I know who you are. It's been a long time. A very, very long time.
===Mind Games===
: '''Rex''': Yeah, I wouldn't be so sure of that.
: '''Six''': I told you not to get involved, Rex. You're not at full strength.
: '''Rex''': What was I supposed to do-- Just leave it?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Six has a point, Rex. You're pushed to the edge lately. You can't see everyone.
: '''Rex''': Not listening! Don't worry, dude. I'll have you out of here before you can say-- Circe?!
: '''Circe''': Hey, Rex. Rex! Aaaah!
: ''[Circe sighs]''
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Rex! Rex, do you read? What's going on? Your bios are low.
: '''Rex''': Leave her alone! You okay?
: '''Circe''': I think so. We have to go.
: '''Rex''': Think that's your cue. Hang on. I think I got it. Ow!
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex''': Hate this things.
: '''Circe''': Try wearing one.
: '''Rex''': I have. So, what happened? I thought Providence had you at Abysus.
: '''Circe''': I got away.
: '''Rex''': What about the Pack?
: '''Circe''': The Pack? I-- Don't know. Things are bad out there, Rex. I've been on the run for weeks. Providence has been stepping up their capture orders. I think something big is going down.
: '''Rex''': Tell me about it. Listen, I know we're gonna want to say no, but with everything that's going on...
: '''Circe''': I should stay at the plant. It's safer, right?
: '''Rex''': Wow, that was-- Easy. I had a whole speech and everything.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Well, everything checks out. You're the picture of health. I wish you'd let me do some more thorough scans, through.
: '''Six''': How was it you said you got away?
: '''Circe''': It's a long story. You guys have bigger things to worry about than me... like the Meta-Nanites. Did you get the one from Abysus? Have you found anymore?
: '''Rex''': Ugh, who cares? Let's go do something fun. You want to put Bobo' hand in shaving cream?
: ''[Circe yawns]''
: '''Circe''': Actually, Rex, I'm kind of tired. I thing I might just crash if that's cool.
: '''Rex''': Oh... yeah. Stupid of me. You, uh, get some sleep. Hey, doc. What are you doing?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Rex. I was just... working. What are you doing up?
: '''Rex''': Ah, it's... stupid.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Yeah, probably. But... go ahead.
: '''Rex''': I'm... excited. Since I got breached, everything's been so crazy.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Since you got breached? Right.
: '''Rex''': But with Circe back, I'm starting to think maybe things will turn out okay.
: '''White Knight''': I need everyone in the situation room in five minutes.
: '''Rex''': So much for that.
: ''[Dr. Holiday yawns]''
: '''Dr. Holiday''': What'd I miss?
: '''Rex''': Wow, Doc. You sure got comfy quick.
: '''White Knight''': Listen up, people. We need to retrieve a valuable asset before it falls into enemy hands.
: '''Six''': What's the objective?
: '''White Knight''': This man... Dr. Peter Meechum.
: '''Rex''': That guy? I remember him. Van crazy kiddnaped his daughter.
: '''White Knight''': Meechum spent the last year at a safehouse facility... Codename: Pandora's Box... location know only to me.
: '''Rex''': Why all the cloak and dagger?
: '''White Knight''': Because Meechum was one of the original scientists on the Nanite Project. He was given a panic button in case of emergency. Thirty minutes ago-- He activated it.
: '''Six''': Providence?
: '''White Knight''': We have to assume they're trying to assemble the original members of the Nanite Project. What Meechum knows is too valuable to fall into the wrong hands, so go get him.
: '''Six''': Maybe Circe should stay here.
: '''Rex''': What? Why?
: '''Six''': She's not on the team yet-- Not officialy.
: '''White Knight''': Take her. She'll be useful in the field.
: '''Rex''': Ahem. You guys forget you key? Did you check under the mat?
: '''Six''': Rex, focus on the mission. Get to Meechum!
: '''Rex''': Relax, Six. I could take these guys in my sleep, especially with help from... Huh? Circe? Uh... Time-out?
: '''Six''': Peter Meechum, you need to come with us.
: ''[Dr. Meechum scoffs]''
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Took you long enough.
: '''Rex''': Time in.
: '''White Knight''': Still no sign of Circe, Rex. We'll keep looking, but for right now, Meechum is our top priority.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': We'll find her, Rex. Don't worry.
: '''White Knight''': In the meantime, Dr. Meechum, I've checked, and your daughter is safe at her boarding school in England.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': My daughter. Right.
: '''White Knight''': We can make immediate arrangements to take you to her.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': No, I'd rather stay with you if that's all right. It's, uh-- It's safer.
: '''White Knight''': Of course. White Knight out.
: '''Rex''': So, after that, Providence attacked Abysus to get the Master-Control Nanite. Guess you were next on their list.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': I see. And all this happened in the last year?
: '''Six''': You've missed a lot since you've been away, doctor.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Horrible. I could never work for a Providence like that. I have to say it's all very impressive. Providence has certainly done a lot in the last year.
: '''Caesar''': And with your help, doctor, we can do more.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Where's White Knight? I should tell him I've arrived.
: '''Black Knight''': I can answer that for you. It's good to have you back, doctor.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': What happened to White?
: '''Black Knight''': Just a routine change in command. Nothing to worry about. If you'll excuse me, gentlemen.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Tell me you have my money ready.
: '''Black Knight''': You get away you want when I get what I want... Not before.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Relax.
: '''Six''': I'm a professional, aren't I?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Six, see Meechum? I have some data I'd like to go over with him. Are you... okay?
: '''Six''': Rebecca, I have something important to tell you.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Okay. Well... Thanks for tell me.
: '''Six''': Rex, are you in here? I do not understand this show.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Am I interrupting?
: '''Six''': Not at all. What can I do for you?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Nothing important. I just wanted to say... earlier... that was nice. Unexpected but nice.
: '''Six''': Earlier?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': In the lab?
: '''Six''': I have no idea what you're talking about.
: ''[Dr. Holiday scoffs]''
: '''Rex''': Six, I need to talk to you about Circe. Uh... Six? Earth to agent guy. You okay?
: '''Six''': I'm fine. I've just decided not to waste any more time on you, Rex.
: '''Rex''': Um... Is this because I accidentaly used your swords to slice a pizza?
: '''Six''': It's because you're weak. You don't have what it takes to complete the mission.
: '''Rex''': Ohh, I get it. This is one of your test, right?
: '''Six''': No test. Just me coming to my senses. You're not strong enough to survive what's coming. In the end, you're gonna let us all down.
: ''[Dr. Holiday crying]''
: '''Rex''': Doc? What's wrong?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': ''[Sobbing]'' I-It's nothing, Rex. I didn't want you to see me like this.
: '''Rex''': Well, what is it?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': ''[Sobbing]'' It's Six. I'm afraid of him.
: '''Rex''': What?! That's crazy talk.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': ''[Sobbing]'' Is it? You have to have seen it. He's violent, on edge. He's losing control.
: '''Rex''': Are we talking about the same Six?
: '''Dr. Holiday''': We don't even known him. He was a killer, Rex. The old Six might have changed, but how do we know this Six didn't come back... Wrong?
: ''[Dr. Meechum whistling]''
: '''Dr. Meechum''': I have a question. How do you plan to re-create the project without a bio-interface expert?
: '''Caesar''': Oh, but we do have one.
: '''Van Kleiss''': No! The string doesn't work. Gordian knot, tied up tight. Alexander cheated. Can't cheat. Eyes on your own paper! Peter? No! Can't be! Different time, different me.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Van Kleiss? You brought back that monster?
: '''Caesar''': Of course. He was the original interface programmer. Who better?
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Excuse me a moment. White, what the heck is going on?!
: '''White Knight''': Peter? Where are you?
: '''Dr. Meechum''': I'm at Providence. Where are you?
: '''White Knight''': Providence. But that's not-- I have to go. We have a problem.
: '''Rex''': You're darn right we have a problem, because this isn't Peter Meechum!
: ''[Dr. Meechum laughing maniacally]''
: '''Scarecrow''': Heya, Rex. Miss me?
: '''Rex''': Who are you? Where's Meechum?
: '''White Knight''': His name's John Scarecrow. He's an EVO, specialist in infiltration. Black Knight played us.
: '''Scarecrow''': You really don't remember me, Rex? I'll give you a hint. We used to share a stomping ground. We had a problem with a shapes hifter once.
: '''Rex''': You were in Hong Kong.
: '''Scarecrow''': Give the man a prize.
: ''[Scarecrow laughs]''
: '''Six''': I think he went that way.
: '''Rex''': Wait a minute.
: ''[Rex groans]''
: ''[Scarecrow laughs]''
: '''Rex''': I cannot believe I fell for that.
: '''Scarecrow''': Look at you. You're ridiculous. You think he'll come to his senses, realize his true feelings? Then what? You'll settle down. White picket fence. Little agent kids. You're fooling yourself. You're the worst of them... you know that?... Because you know better. You really think you can save the world? None of you can survive what's coming!
: '''Rex''': Prove it's really you. What's my favorite color?
: '''Six''': I have no idea.
: '''Rex''': It's you, all right.
: ''[Dr. Holiday screaming]''
: '''Dr. Holiday''': Put it away. I'm not the EVO.
: '''Six''': We heard you scream.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': That wasn't me.
: '''Six''': Let's all calm down. We can figure this out.
: '''Rex''': Why, Six? Because I'm weak? You don't think I can handle this?
: '''Six''': I never said that.
: '''Rex''': But you think it, right? I don't see you putting down your guns, doc.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': I know it's not me. I'm not sure about you two.
: ''[Scarecrow laughs]''
: '''Scarecrow''': So easy. I barely had to nudge you.
: '''Rex''': Whatever you're after, you're not getting away with it.
: '''Scarecrow''': Get away with it?! Re-e-e-x, I got what I needed in the first five minutes.
: '''Rex''': Then why? Why do all this?
: '''Scarecrow''': Simple. I wanted to do to you what you did to me.
: '''Rex''': I'm done with you!
: ''[Scarecrow groans]''
: '''Scarecrow''': The big hero. Why do you get to forget? It's not fair!
: '''Rex''': Whine, whine, whine. What... you didn't get enough crazy hugs as a kid?
: '''Scarecrow''': You think I'm the only one you hurt? Then tell me--
: '''Skwydd''': What about us? Why'd you betray me?
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Circe:''' You promised to protect me, Rex. Where were you?
: '''Rex:''' Stop it!
: ''[Rex groans]''
: ''[Rex breathing heavily]''
: '''Caesar''': Face it, bro. It's why I left you. Mom and dad, too.
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Rex''': You're your own worst enemy.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': That's for Rex. That's for Providence. And that was for the kiss.
: '''White Knight''': Providence won this round. No question.
: '''Rex''': They have the real Meechum. Maybe more.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': There's no telling how much of our system Scarecrow uploaded.
: '''Six''': But we have to assume they know everything we do.
: ''[Scarecrow laughs evilly]''
: '''White Knight''': Black Knight is coming for us. It's just a matter of time.
: '''Dr. Holiday''': So? I mean, we knew that. Nothing's changed, right?
: '''Six''': Rex, this is what they wanted-- To turn us against each other.
: '''Rex''': Yeah, and look how easy it was. We thought we were a team, but we're not. We're vulnerable.
: '''Van Kleiss''': It's Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Looking past Occam's Razor, we can clearly see to a quantum level. A quantum level is what I'm trying to achieve, because if I didn't do the quantum level, then I can understand what's happening.
: '''Caesar''': I know you don't like this, but it's not about us.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': Can you do it? Can you control him?
: '''Caesar''': Leave Van Kleiss to me.
: '''Dr. Meechum''': What about Black Knight? I don't like her, Salazar. Never did.
: '''Caesar''': Trust me, Peter-- When we're finished, the end will justify the means.
===Hermanos===
:'''Rex Salazar''': WH-O-O-O-OA! Unh! Ugh!
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Agent Six''': Be careful, Rex.
:'''Rex Salazar''': I'm touched by your concern, Six.
:'''Agent Six''': It's not for you. We don't have Providence to pick up the tab anymore. You break it, you buy it.
:''[Rex growls]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': I'm saving the day here. What are they gonna do--Sue me? Oh, come on! It was a rhetorical question! What was I supposed to do? The whole building was made of glass!
:'''Lawyer''': ''[Hispanic accent]'' Glass? What are you talking about?
:'''Rex Salazar''': I'm... not talking about anything. What are you talking about?
:'''Lawyer''': Mr. Salazar, I'm an associate at the stateside branch of the Argentinean firm Gomez and Gomez. And today, sir, is your lucky day!
:'''Rex Salazar''': What's this?
:'''Lawyer''': It's yours!
:'''Noah Nixon''': No away! This is your house?
:'''Rex Salazar''': I know! According to the lawyer guy, this rancho in Argentina's been in my family forever. And ever since my parents died in the event, those lawyers have been trying to track down the heir. And guess who that is.
:'''Noah Nixon''': You and your brother?
:'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, yeah, right. Him too.
:'''Caesar Salazar''': Not a good time, Rex.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Dude, it's never a good time, but you go to-- O...kay, so maybe this really isn't a good time, but this is important. I was being chased by a lawyer. No, I wasn't being sued this time. But you'll never guess what he--
:'''Caesar Salazar''': Is this about the rancho?
:'''Rex Salazar''': You know about it?
:'''Caesar Salazar''': Those lawyers have left me a dozen messages.
:'''Rex Salazar''': And you didn't tell me? Caesar, I never even knew we had this place! There might be photo albums, home movies-- I don't know-- maybe even an old teddy bear or something.
:'''Caesar Salazar''': You never had a teddy bear.
:'''Rex Salazar''': See, the fact that you know that and I don't-- that's why we need to go down there.
:'''Lawyer''': Clear!
:'''Caesar Salazar''': I can't, Rex. My work's already been interrupted once today. Although... Now that you mention the ranch, it does bring back some memories.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Really? Like what?
:'''Caesar Salazar''': There was an experiment I remember mom and dad running. If you could find the notes, it might save some time on the work I'm doing now.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Notes? Come on. Isn't family more important than-- Guess not.
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Why can't I have a normal brother? Know anything about cows? Thanks for coming with me. This is really a family thing, but my brother is, well-- My brother.
:'''Noah Nixon''': Are you kidding? I'm psyched! I've been killing myself trying to find a birthday present for Claire. A vacation at my best friend's awesome ancestral estate? What other guy could offer her that?
:'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, but then why bring Annie?
:'''Annie''': Um, this just kind of broke off.
:''[Annie, Claire and Noah screaming]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': AAAAAAH!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': I sure hope this isn't included in Six's "You break it, you buy it" policy.
:'''Annie''': Sorry.
:'''Rex Salazar''': No problem. We're here.
:'''Claire Bowman''': Are... you sure this is the place?
:'''Noah Nixon''': What happened to it?
:'''Annie''': Hey, don't look at me. I just got there.
:''[Annie gasps]''
:'''Annie''': Okay, that was me.
:'''Rex Salazar''': I guess this must be my... family.
:'''Claire Bowman''': Looks like you-- But with a 'stache.
:'''Annie''': I like you with a 'stache.
:'''Claire Bowman''': Hey, there are chickens in here!
:'''Annie''': And llamas!
:'''Noah Nixon''': Chicken, llamas-- And a funny-looking bull.
:''[Chiquito snorts]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': I-I-I take it back! You're not funny-looking!
:'''Chiquito''': This place is Durango's!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Well, actually--
:'''Chuquito''': No fancy talk! Just go!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Ugh! Okay, number one, how is "actually" fancy talk! Number two, I don't know who Durango is, but this farm isn't his. And number three--
:''[Chiquito grunts]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Ugh! Ugh! All right, there's no misunderstanding the international language of getting punched in the face. So read my fist-- Get out of my house!
:'''Chiquito''': Durango will not be happy!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, don't know who that guy was, but problem solved.
:'''Noah Nixon''': Uh, you think? Aah!
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Senior Durango''': Calmate, Chiquito. You are my brother. I would not do anything to hurt mi hermano. Unless you force me to. I cannot lose that tract of land. Without its right of way, I will lose my claim on the rest of the county. But never mind. They will learn-- When you mess with the bull, you get the horns.
:'''Rex Salazar''': OHHH! Ugh!
:'''Noah Nixon''': A chicken just tried to poop on my shoe!
:'''Rex Salazar''': I think I can top you there.
:'''Noah Nixon''': No offense, but when I asked Claire to come here, this wasn't what I was hoping for.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Well, me either. I mean, I was thinking I'd find-- I don't know what. But everything in this place has been smashed or stolen. Maybe this whole family thing isn't for me.
:''[Noah gasps]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': That's the one!
:'''Claire Bowman''': Please, Noah. It just needed a little help laying an egg.
:'''Rex Salazar''': ''[Chuckling]'' What, did you grow up on a farm in Kansas?
:'''Claire Bowman''': An apartment in Chicago-- Which is where I learned to download videos onto my phone.
:'''Telephone Voice''': When caring for an egg bearing hen, remember to--
:'''Muchado''': Hola? Quien esta aquí?
:'''Rex Salazar''': Uh... hello?
:'''Muchado''': So, you are the Americans? I am Señor Muchado-- The juez.
:'''Claire Bowman''': That's like a judge?
:'''Muchado''': Sí. For all intents and purposes, I am the law in this county-- Which is why I have come here with him.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Good, because I definitely want to press charges.
:'''Muchado''': You misunderstand. I am here because of the trouble you caused for Chiquito.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Chiquito?
:''[Rex chuckles]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Your mom must have some sense of humor to name you "Tiny".
:''[Chiquito growls]''
:'''Muchado''': Chiquito's brother is Señor Durango. He controls most of the land in this county, including this hacienda. At Señor Durango's request, I have prepared a legal order compelling you to vacate.
:'''Claire Bowman''': But this is Rex's farm.
:'''Annie''': Yeah, he's got a deed and everything.
:'''Muchado''': This might have some bearing-- If you were a Salazar.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Well, we're in luck. I am.
:'''Annie''': Maybe this will help.
:'''Muchado''': You may be a Salazar, but by our law, this land has been deemed abandoned, and Señor Durango has claimed it.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Sorry. Been sort of busy saving the world and stuff. But I'm here now, so consider his claim unclaimed, then reclaimed by me.
:'''Muchado''': It is not so simple. You would have to demonstrate you are actively maintaining the ranch. That means shearing and feeding the animals, bringing your bulls to market--
:'''Rex Salazar''': To market? What, like a... cattle drive?
:'''Claire Bowman''': No problem. We can totally figure out how to do that.
:'''Muchado''': A ranch this size requires at least a dozen hired men.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, just... uh...
:'''Muchado''': No one within 100 kilometers will help you cross Señor Durango. If you do this, you will do it alone. And you will fail.
:'''Claire Bowman''': Well, that guy was kind of a jerk.
:'''Annie''': Yeah. So, let's get to work.
:'''Noah Nixon''': How? Everything here is broken.
:'''Annie''': Uh, have you seen my house?
:'''Rex Salazar''': You guys don't have to do this.
:'''Claire Bowman''': What kind of friend would walk away now?
:'''Noah Nixon''': Uh... yeah! No way you could stop me from helping take care of these totally not-gross animals.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Really?
:'''Noah Nixon''': Well, I'm smiling like that's what I mean, aren't?
:''[Noah exhales deeply]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': I can do this! I can't do this. Until I've done my milking warm-up.
:'''Claire Bowman''': Ugh. Hold this.
:'''Telephone Voice''': With you head resting on her flank, gently grasp the udder with the palm of your hand.
:'''Noah Nixon''': AAH!
:''[Claire giggles]''
:'''Claire Bowman''': I think she likes you.
:'''Noah Nixon''': Ugh!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': This is your home. Get in your home!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Whoa! AAAH! AAH! Ugh! This is hopeless! This farm only has one bull, and I can't even get it into the barn. And this... better just be mud.
:'''Annie''': Hang on! I'll help you!
:''[Annie gasps]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': No! Don't!
:'''Noah Nixon''': Are you guys okay?
:'''Claire Bowman''': What is it? A storm cellar?
:'''Noah Nixon''': Looks like some kind of lab.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Figures. My mom and dad were Caesar's parents, too. Of course they'd find a way to take work home with them. Probably where those notes Caesar wanted are. Might as well grab them before the judge kicks us out.
:'''Claire Bowman''': What's he talking about? I think we're doing a pretty good job taking care of the--
:'''Annie''': Uh, guys--
:''[Claire grunts]''
:'''Claire Bowman''': Wait-- Donkeys eat hay, don't they? Maybe we can use it to lure them back into the barn.
:'''Annie''': I got it! Ugh!
:''[Annie gasps]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': Well, on the plus side, at least we now know for sure that donkeys do eat hay.
:''[On videotape of the Salazar family]''
:'''Rafael Salazar''': One day, these things are going to change the world, and you'll be there to see it.
:'''Violetta Salazar''': ''[Chuckling]'' Caesar, please, mi hijo. Stop working for a minute and hold the camera.
:'''Young Caesar Salazar''': Okay! Okay!
:''[Claire sniffs]''
:'''Claire Bowman''': What's that smell?
:'''Noah Nixon''': Which one? Everything here smells.
:'''Claire Bowman''': No, it smells like... smoke!
:'''Annie''': Rex! The straw caught on fire, and it exploded!
:''[Chiquito growls]''
:'''Chiquito''': Hermano! No! Oomph!
:'''Senior Durango''': What were you thinking? I told you to smoke them out, not burn the land! This is my land! If you weren't my brother--
:''[Chiquito growls]''
:'''Senior Durango''': But you are. Come here.
:'''Rex Salazar''': So, you must be the brother. Hope I'm not interrupting some kind of weird tender moment.
:'''Senior Durango''': Soy Durango. And I hope there is still a chance we can reach a resonable agreement.
:'''Claire Bowman''': So, then you'll let Rex keep the farm? We played by the rules.
:'''Senior Durango''': Around here, I make the rules.
:'''Annie''': But the judge said--
:'''Senior Durango''': The judge works for me. Now, please, I'm giving you one last chance to leave.
:'''Noah Nixon''': Okay, sure! Oh, wait-- That's right. Your fire blew up what was left of our plane!
:'''Rex Salazar''': Uh, let me handle the trash-talking with the 20-foot-tall monster EVO, okay? Leave them out of this! They shouldn't even be here! It should have been my brother!
:'''Senior Durango''': That is why you will lose your farm. Without family, a man is nothing. After all, what is this land to them?
:'''Rex Salazar''': I don't even know what this place is to me. I came here hoping to find out more about who my family is.
:''[Rex start looking at Noah, Claire and Annie, and smile to them]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': And I did. So, you're going to stop threatening them-- And me-- And get off my land.
:''[Durango snarls]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Okay. Here's the plan-- Stay behind me! Whoa! Ugh!
:'''Noah Nixon''': Well, there goes that plan.
:'''Senior Durango''': Hurt them. You can do that, can't you?
:'''Claire Bowman''': W-what do we do now?!
:'''Annie''': The only one of us with powers just got kicked to the curb.
:'''Noah Nixon''': That depends on what you mean by "powers".
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:''[Rex muffled grunting]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Not a good time, Caesar.
:'''Caesar Salazar''': I just wanted to tell you-- Forget about those notes. I realized that's not what's important about you going down there.
:''[Durango snarls]''
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Wow, Caesar. I can't believe you came around.
:'''Caesar Salazar''': I just realized-- The really important thing is, if you happen to find a termo-chronometer I remember having down there, it would save me from ordering one.
:''[Chiquito snarls]''
:''[Chiquito growls]''
:''[Chiquito snarls, roars]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': Ugh!
:''[Chiquito snorts]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': This morning, I almost had to touch a cow's underparts. You think you can do me worse than that? Bring it.
:''[Chiquito snarls]''
:''[Chiquito roars]''
:'''Annie''': Ugh! I didn't mean for that to happen.
:'''Claire Bowman''': We did.
:'''Rex Salazar''': AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Ugh! AAAAAAAAAAARGH!
:'''Senior Durango''': OOMPH!
:''[Durango lows]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': WH-O-O-O-O-O-O O-OA!
:''[Durango lows]''
:''[Durango snorts]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': AAAAAAAAH!
:''[Durango growls]''
:''[Durango growls]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': Trust me-- My brother's let me down way worse. But what am I gonna do? He's my brother.
:'''Senior Durango''': It is over.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Nice ego there, but I've been hit a lot harder.
:''[Durango spits]''
:'''Senior Durango''': Those bells signal the market is ending soon. I can see you have yet to herd you cattle there.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, come on! The one cattle I've got doesn't even move!
:'''Senior Durango''': If you do not have your cattle to market before it ends, you will have failed to fulfill your deed, and this land will be mine.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Then I guess I don't have any time to waste talking about it.
:'''Claire Bowman''': Come on. Come here.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Forget it. I got this.
:'''Claire Bowman''': WHOO-HOO! Yes! Go, Rex!
:''[Rex grunting]''
:'''Claire Bowman''': Where's Durango?
:'''Rex Salazar''': Oww! Come on! You don't move the whole time, and you can't stay still?
:''[Durango grunting]''
:'''Noah Nixon''': What is this, a western? You're actually trying to stop him with a rockslide?
:'''Senior Durango''': You? Here? How is that even possible?
:'''Telephone Voice''': Donkeys can be ridden surprinsingly fast if you--
:'''Noah Nixon''': Come on! Just give up! The farm belong to Rex. And I really want to get off this thing.
:'''Senior Durango''': You think I'm afraid of you ''[Scoffs]'' boy?
:'''Claire Bowman''': Oh, it's not the boy you should be afraid of.
:'''Annie''': Oops.
:''[Durango grunting]''
:'''Senior Durango''': Ugh!
:''[Rex panting]''
:'''Rex Salazar''': We sheared the llamas, we milked the cows, I got the bull to town. We did everything in the deed.
:'''Muchado''': Sí, sí. But more important, you faced Durango and won! Once the other ranchers hear of this, they won't be afraid. You have broken Durango's hold on our lands.
:'''Rex Salazar''': Wait-- You're... happy about that?
:'''Muchado''': Of course. I told you exactly what you had to do to legally gain control of the land, didn't I?
:'''Rex Salazar''': Huh. I guess you did.
:'''Claire Bowman''': Wow! Can you believe how you perfect this all worked out?
:'''Noah Nixon''': Yeah, uh, so, maybe we should get out of here before we wear out our welcome.
:'''Rex Salazar''': There's just one thing I want to do first.
===The Rescue===

===Shadowed Past===
===Separation Anxiety===
===Brotherly Love===
===Rocky My World===
:'''Beverly:''' Oh, this is so awesome! We're seeing the Trendbenders live!
:'''Rex:''' Well, maybe not see them, but we'll totally hear them. Attention! The Trendbenders will be arriving through the back of the club.
:'''Beverly:''' Slick trick! Yes, Rebecca. I know! Only drink the bottled water. No, we're not that close to the stage. Ugh! I know that's where they mosh-pit. Don't worry! Bye!
:'''Rex:''' Your sister is acting like your mother. I wouldn't put up with it. Doc?! I'm right next to her! Yes, we've got earplugs. Only bottled water-- I know! Yes, you'll pick us up at 11:00. Okay! Bye!
:'''Sly:''' ''[singing]'' I met a guy who has looking for a lucky break. I met a guy mad he wouldn't make a mistake. No loser here the weight would be upon his face. This ain't no lucky break it's just another day.
:'''Beverly:''' Hey!
:'''Rex:''' There's something wrong with that guy.
:'''Beverly:''' Yeah! It's called lack of social skills.
:'''Sebastian:''' We have to talk! You got to listen to me!
:'''Rex:''' I think they're a little too busy for a chat right now.
:'''Sebastian:''' It's me! Your first fan!
:'''Rex:''' Come on, dude. Can't you just watch the show, like everyone else?
:'''Sly:''' ''[singing]'' You won't bring me down. Yeah-yeah-yeah. You won't bring me down.
:'''Sebastian:''' I'm not just everyone else.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Sebastian:''' You want to rethink trying to stop me?
:'''Beverly:''' Whoa! Geek in triplicate!
:'''Rex:''' More like EVO geek.
:'''Sebastian:''' I bet you're not even a real fan!
:'''Rex:''' Hey, I know their music!
:'''Sebastian:''' Yeah? What album is "Bitten on the Wind" from?
:'''Beverly:''' Uh, their first album.
:'''Sebastian:''' Wrong! Their third! Poser!
:'''Sly:''' Here's one from our first album-- "Bitten on the Wind."
:'''Beverly:''' Told ya! Their first album! Who's the poser now?
:'''Sebastian:''' But it is their third. They keep denying their first two albums exist!
:'''Rex:''' Huh?
:''[Rex bones cracking]''
:'''Rex:''' Shouldn't you be home, making sure your mom isn't snooping around your basement? Ouch! All right, I've had enough.
:'''Sebastian:''' I know you. You're that guy from Providence that beats up on EVOs.
:'''Rex:''' And I'm guessing you're not one of my fans.
:'''Sebastian:''' This isn't over! They still need me to show them the way back. I'll make them listen to me.. No matter what! Ugh!
:'''Man:''' No re-entry without a hand stamp.
:'''Rex:''' Uh, but--
:'''JoJo:''' It's okay. He's with me. I'm JoJo, the band's manager.
:'''Beverly:''' Oh!
:'''JoJo:''' Sly Tyler, vocals, six stringer. Burrito Beau on the big bottom, and Leon Adler on the skins.
:'''Beau:''' Bass.
:'''Leon:''' Drums.
:'''Beverly:''' They're even cutter up close!
:'''JoJo:''' But Sebastian isn't. And now that fruitcake fan has become a major menace.
:'''Rex:''' You know who that guy is?
:'''Sly:''' Yeah, he's one of our first fans from way back.
:'''Leon:''' But he didn't like our change in music direction.
:'''Beau:''' Change, like in popular.
:'''Sly:''' So he started sending us nasty e-mails and slagging us on the fan sites.
:'''JoJo:''' But now he's turned violent, and it turns out he's-- H-he's--
:'''Rex:''' An EVO that can multiply himself.
:'''JoJo:''' We can't handle that kind of threat, but you can.
:'''Beverly:''' Is this a job offer?
:'''JoJo:''' As head of security for the rest of the tour.
:'''Rex:''' Huh, I don't know. Putting up with groupies, great music, catering, the Rock'n'roll lifestyle-- Oh, right, like I'm not totally in for this!
:'''Beverly:''' And I'm your deputy, sheriff.
:'''Sly:''' Absolutely.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Absolutely not.
:'''Rex:''' They've got an EVO threat.
:''[Dr. Holiday sighs]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Fine, Rex. Beverly? And don't forget to use earplugs.
:'''Rex:''' Private jet to the next gig? Airline-- First class? Coach?
:'''JoJo:''' Of the road kind.
:'''Rex:''' Traveling the open road, bringing music to the people. Where to next?
:'''Beau:''' Eugene, Oregon. ''[Unenthusiastically]'' WHOO-HOO!
:'''Rex:''' Ow!
:'''Leon:''' Bad seat. Got a lot of them.
:''[Beau farts]''
:''[Rex sniffs]''
:'''Leon and Rex:''' Oh!
:''[Leon coughs]''
:'''Leon:''' Isn't the ozone layer depleted enough, Beau?
:'''Rex:''' Want to hit the streets and check out the local scene?
:'''Sly:''' Seriously, man? It's just another town.
:'''Beau:''' Been there. Seen them all.
:'''TV Announcer:''' He's currently under 3, 2 behind the leader. This is a very tricky--
:'''Rex:''' Oh, let's throw this in the pool!
:'''Leon:''' Hey, I'm watching something, dude!
:'''Rex:''' How about a food fight?
:'''Sly:''' Sorry, man. Not feeling it.
:'''Rex:''' This isn't feeling very Rock'n'Roll.
:'''JoJo:''' Rex, we hired you to consult on security, not rock-tour clichés.
:'''Sebastian:''' Room service.
:'''JoJo:''' Again? You guys, this is costing too much.
:'''Sly:''' But we didn't order anything else.
:'''Sebastian:''' That's okay. This is on the house!
:''[Sebastian grunts]''
:''[JoJo gasps]''
:'''Rex:''' Look out! He's got... Paperwork?
:'''Sebastian:''' I've got notes and visuals on where you've gone commercial and how you can get back to your roots! He's with the band now? He's not even a real fan! You see? You've got to come with me. You need my help!
:'''Rex:''' They're not going anywhere, but you are!
:'''Sebastian:''' My copies don't feel pain.
:'''Rex:''' But you do!
:'''Girl:''' Whoa! You must really be a big fan!
:'''Sebastian:''' Only of their early stuff.
:'''Girl:''' Eww! Their early stuff is weak.
:'''Teen girl:''' But their new songs are awesome!
:''[Girls giggling]''
:''[Sebastian growls]''
:''[Girls screaming]''
:'''Rex:''' Excuse me. I'm with the band.
:'''Teen girl:''' But you missed your ride.
:'''Rex:''' That's okay. I've got my own.
:'''Man:''' Rock bands! Never again!
:'''Sebastian:''' I've got to take you away from this sellout existence, where you deny your first two albums even exist.
:'''Sly:''' B-but those albums weren't any good. That's why we only had a few fans, like you.
:'''Rex:''' If there's only three of them, then who's driving the car?
:'''Sebastian:''' Aah!
:'''Rex:''' Did he... Ah! Rent that car from the circus? Time to cut this act short.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Sebastian:''' Oh, man. I went to my first Trendbenders show in that car.
:'''Rex:''' Maybe I can't turn off your obsession, but I can shut down your nanites.
:'''Beau:''' That clone-boy?
:'''Rex:''' I don't think he's going to be a problem now.
:'''JoJo:''' We can still use you on the tour. What did you say?
:'''Rex:''' Yes!
:'''Sly:''' Good man! ''[singing]'' You see the light, and it's oh, so bright, a million times more than before, now we'll show you the door, some starts fade, and some starts shine, the bright ones stand the test of time, the others burn out and sing, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", kill your radio, you live a life for all to see, sometimes it's right, sometimes obscene, now you're the enemy, it's one for all and all for me, unlocking doors and misery, the others burn out and sing, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, out of time, kill your radio, out of time, kill your radio, out of time, kill your radio, it isn't all, that it's cracked up to be, I never thought it'd be so easy, I wouldn't have it any other way, you see the light, and it's oh, so bright, a million times more than before, now we'll show you the door, some starts fade, and some starts shine, the bright ones stand the test of time, the others burn out and sing, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, "yeah".
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Sly:''' At least we got a day off before the next gig.
:'''JoJo:''' Guys, a club owner in fleeceburg just offered us amazing money. I booked it.
:'''Rex:''' For when?
:'''JoJo:''' We're already running late.
:'''Sly:''' They're paying money for us to play in this dump?
:'''JoJo:''' Big money. Come on. You're on in ten minutes.
:'''Rex:''' I'm guessing ticket sales are a little slow.
:'''Leon:''' Are we breaking up?
:'''Beau:''' This dive seems awfully familiar.
:'''Sebastian:''' It should.
:'''Rex:''' That voice seems awfully familiar!
:'''Teens:''' Dude! Nobody move! What's going on? Who's touching me? What is this? Excuse me. What is going on?
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Sebastian:''' I built an exact replica of the first club you played in.
:'''Beau:''' Hey, that's one of my puke stains. Fruitcake knows his details.
:'''Rex:''' But I cured you.
:'''Sebastian:''' Hmm... That was a copy, not the original.
:'''Sly:''' Whatever. When's this gonna end, fan-boy?
:'''Sebastian:''' It ends tonight. Check the floor at your feet.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Sebastian:''' I've given up trying to get you back to your roots. So now you'll play what I want to hear for the next hour. And then your career ends with a bang. :'''Sly:''' On behalf of the band, I'd like to thank our manager, JoJo, for booking this totally insane gig!
:''[JoJo laughs nervously]''
:'''Sebastian:''' The sound of cold, hard cash is the only music sellouts like you listen to anymore.
:'''Rex:''' They're not sellouts. They just got more popular than you wanted.
:'''Sebastian:''' You try anything, and I'll end their last gig prematurely. You're only alive because I want you to see what the Trendbenders used to be like. For the next hour give me the early stuff, when you were cool.
:'''Sly:''' Why bother? You're gonna nuke us, anyway.
:'''Sebastian:''' Because if you don't play, this happens!
:'''Sly:''' Aah!
:'''Leon, Sly and Beau:''' No more!
:'''Sly:''' Okay, dude, what's the first number?
:'''Sebastian:''' "Crawling undertow"!
:'''Sly:''' Well, how does it feel?
:'''Sebastian:''' First album, seventh song. Fifth song on the Japanese import.
:'''Sly:''' To get that weight back on our shoulders--
:'''Sebastian:''' You're giving it a beat that wasn't in the original, man! Not even in the remix from the box set. Play it right this time! I'm missing the concert because of you!
:'''Rex:''' Stinks to be you. Got to cure the real Sebastian. But which one is the mother ship?
:'''Sebastian:''' You can't even play your old songs like you used to. Total disappointment. Let's end this bummer concert.
:'''Sly:''' But we still have over a half-hour left!
:'''Sebastian:''' Last song, no encore.
:'''Rex:''' Tell me who's the original, or I'll turn you into dessert topping!
:'''Sebastian:''' You don't scare me. I don't feel pain.
:'''Rex:''' But the real Sebastian does. Sly! Maximum feedback! Now! Thanks, Doc.
:'''Sebastian''': AAAHHHH!
:'''Rex:''' How do you like their new hit, Sebastian Prime? Here's another new groove you're not going to like.
:'''Sebastian:''' Aah!
:'''Rex:''' Congrats. You're back to being a solo act.
:'''Sebastian:''' You've got to listen to me!
:''[Sebastian yelling]''
:'''Rex:''' Kidnapping, assault and battery, construction without a permit-- that should keep him away for years.
:'''JoJo:''' Have to say it, guys, but we've got a gig in toledo to get to. Security?
:'''Rex:''' Not anymore. Sebastian's done, and so am I.
:'''Sly:''' Dude, I thought you wanted the rock'n'roll lifestyle.
:'''Rex:''' I'm not tough enough for it. I need to get back to something easier, like city-smashing EVOs and conspiracies to take over the world.
:'''Beau:''' Don't know what your missing.
:'''Rex:''' I think do. But I don't miss this. Yes, doc? Don't need my earplugs anymore. I quit. Will you let me tell you? No, the EVO threat wasn't just an excuse. Well, I'm coming back! Will you let-- Doc!
===Lost and Found===
===My Brother's Keeper===
===Target: the Consortium===
: '''Jungle Cat:''' You are...?
: '''Rex:''' Rex. Rex Salazar. What are you?
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Lost... and found.
: '''Rex:''' HUNH! AAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
: ''[Rex gasps deeply]''
: '''Rex:''' Whoa. That was a total zero on the fun meter.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Learning how to communicate with the nanite world isn't about fun. Did you get anywhere at all?
: '''Rex:''' Don't know. I connected with a Master Control Nanite for a second, and then I lost it. But I also got, like, this feeling that something's about to happen in the nanite world. Something... big.
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' Argh! This is Rylander's speciality, not mine. There's no way I can cover for him.
: '''Caesar:''' Not to worry, Dr. Meechum. You won't have to any longer. Dr. Rylander will take over from here.
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' Oh, really, Caesar? From his current location of beyond the grave?
: '''Rylander:''' Actually, Peter, I was never completely dead-- just spread a little thin-- ''[chuckling]'' Moleculary speaking. Caesar's been working on putting me back together.
: '''Black Knight:''' All of them together-- At last. Contact the Consortium. We now have something to show them. Something big.
: '''White Knight:''' Even having two of the Master-Control Nanites doesn't change the vital importance of finding the other three. But the latest intel I've received could give us a way to neutralize the group obsessed with these machines.
: '''Six:''' The Consortium.
: '''Rex:''' Aren't those the money guys that bankrolled the Nanite Project in Providence?
: '''White Knight:''' The same. Formerly made-up of six members, but now five-- Reddick, made his wealth in real estate and construction. Vostock, black market finance and KGB... Zanubian, arms dealing and shipping. Roswell, oil and minerals. Anthony Haden-Scott, worldwide media.
: ''[Rex munches]''
: '''Rex:''' Should we be writing this down for the pop quiz later?
: '''White Knight:''' You may be facing them soon because of the efforts of our stealthiest agent.
: '''Rex:''' Mm! Thank you! I think.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' He's not talking about you.
: '''Rex:''' Hey! It's Evo-cat guy! Uh... sorry-- What's your name? O...kay, cat with no collar, what's in the sack? Bunch of canaries? Well, that's... something.
: '''White Knight:''' Our associate has been tracking the Consortium with a little help from a former member.
: '''Rex:''' I remember him! He's the one Rylander got revenge on with an EVO love letter.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' That he never recovered from. But he's still full of useful knowledge about the other members.
: '''Rex:''' As long as you have a towel handy for the answers.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' The Consortium has financed a new facility for nanite research. All of them will be at that location within the next six hours.
: '''Six:''' And so will we.
: '''White Knight:''' A rare opportunity like this can't be missed. You three will capture the Consortium and bring them to a secure location. Understood?
: '''Rex:''' Purrfectly.
: '''Black Knight:''' Gentlemen, I wanted you here today to--
: '''Reddick:''' "Wanted?" Sounds like a command.
: '''Vostok:''' ''[Russian accent]'' You get to ask, not order.
: '''Black Knight:''' I'm sorry. Let me restate. I asked you here because I can now present some major developments in your quest. I finished construction on the nanite reactor and reassembled against all odds the original science team to run it. Doctors Meechum, systems expert. Salazar, artificial intelligence. Rylander, microengineering. And Van Kleiss, biomechanical integration.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Nanite's recorder locked in. Hologram Rylander saves money on meals. Glow, glow, glow, yipper.
: ''[Van Kleiss smooches]''
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' A human flashlight and a brain-fried babbler. This is what I'm supposed to work with.
: '''Vostok:''' Looks like your geniuses have some issues.
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' ''[British accent]'' I seem to recall there were two other Salazars on the team.
: '''Black Knight:''' They're dead-- And just as well. Considering their actions are responsible for our setbacks, I highly doubt they would have cooperated.
: ''[Jungle Cat snarls]''
: '''Black Pawns:''' Ohh!
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Rex:''' Black Pawns got to talk to their costume designer. Way too stuffy.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Be quiet.
: '''Six:''' Our target?
: '''Roswell:''' ''[Southern accent]'' Little lady, I'm hoping you didn't get me out here just to watch some lab jockeys do their homework.
: '''Vostok:''' I know I've got better things to do.
: '''Black Knight:''' Aside from the all-important reassembly of the science team and activation of the nanite reactor, I do have another development to show you.
: '''Roswell:''' Yeah? What else you got?
: '''Black Knight:''' An acquisition.
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Lost... and found.
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Jungle Cat:''' What's wrong with you?
: '''Rex:''' Forget the Consortium! I know where we can find a Master-Control Nanite.
: '''Six:''' Where?
: '''Rex''': Here.
: '''Six:''' We're doing both. You two get the nanite, I'll get the Consortium.
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' On of the five? That's all?
: '''Reddick:''' You know we need all of the Master-Control Nanites to do us any good.
: '''Vostok:''' What about the two you lost? And the other two still out there?
: '''Black Knight:''' We'll have the other four in due time. Take this back to the vault. But remember that each one has its own useful powers. : '''Roswell:''' Not enough to drag me all the way out there, little lady.
: '''Black Knight:''' "Black Knight".
: '''Black Pawns:''' You're not one of us.
: '''Six:''' Stay clear of the Pawns. They're not buying our cover. Repeat-- Stay clear of the Pawns.
: '''Rex:''' Steel door. A vault!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Jungle Cat:''' That was close.
: '''Rex:''' Got it. Have to be as stealthy as you from now on.
: ''[Jungle Catsnarls]''
: ''[Jungle Cat snarling]''
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Van Kleiss!
: ''[Jungle Cat muffled grunting]''
: '''Rex:''' Way not to be stealthy. Sorry, cat guy. I know you want payback for him turning you into stone and all, but the nanite is more important.
: '''Black Pawns:''' Security alert. Intruder.
: ''[Jungle Cat snarls]''
: '''Jungle Cat:''' You find the nanite. I'll be a diversion.
<hr width80%>
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' She has shown us some progress. That one nanite is significant in itself.
: '''Reddick:''' It's all five or nothing. Or are you thinking of working a separate deal with the one?
: '''Vostok:''' Can we please not talk like this while those two are in the room?
: '''Roswell:''' Yeah, Xanubian, put a sock in all your yammerin'.
: '''Black Pawns:''' Another intruder at security zone three. It's Agent Six.
: '''Rex:''' Gotcha.
: '''Black Pawns:''' Unh! Aah!
: '''Rex:''' I'll take that. Six! I've got the nanite!
: '''Six:''' Meet your outside.
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: ''[Jungle Cat snarls]''
: '''Rex:''' I've got it! Let's scat, cat!
: '''Black Knight:''' If he's here-- So is Rex. Vault security, come in.
: '''Reddick:''' Is there a problem?
: '''Black Knight:''' A minor security issue. I'm taking care of it.
: '''Vostok:''' ''[Russian accent]'' You better, little lady.
: '''Rex:''' Well, mission half accomplished.
: '''Six:''' This should complete it.
: '''Rex:''' You planted a bomb?!
: '''Six:''' Plan "B".
: '''Rex:''' The cat! He's still inside! No! We've got to go back for the cat! He's on his own mission. Van Kleiss is there.
: '''Six:''' Understood.
: '''Black Pawns:''' Black Knight, shouldn't we evacuate?
: '''Black Knight:''' The security threat has been removed. Among other things. Track them, find them.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Interlace template, instal copper buffers, hold the mayo, set core temp, heat cold fries.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Remember me?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Someone let the cat in.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' You cast me aside as if I was garbage. Turned me to stone. Drained me of life-- Almost. Now it's your turn to suffer.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Had a kitty once. Not you. Bubbles liked catnip and parsnips. Chapped lips. Hip, hip, hooray!
: ''[Jungle Cat growls]''
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' If you're here to clean up, ask for directions, not Dr. Screwloose.
: '''Rex:''' Ugh! Meechum. Bro. He's here to put Van Kleiss out of the world's misery. Give me a reason why he shouldn't.
: ''[Jungle Cat growls]''
: '''Rylander:''' Because the world needs him right now, Rex.
: '''Rex:''' Dr. Rylander! How did you--
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Rex:''' ''[to Caesar]'' You got it to work.
: '''Rylander:''' I've looked better, I'll admit, but I'm still very much alive. And so happy to see you again.
: '''Rex:''' If you could bring him back--
: '''Caesar:''' Sorry, Rex. It won't work for mom and dad.
: '''Rex:''' So, you've come back-- But you're working for them!
: '''Rylander:''' It seems crazy, I know, but look at our progress-- The nanite reactor is almost operational!
: '''Rex:''' Not if I destroy it.
: '''Black Knight:''' Surround them.
: '''Caesar:''' Trust me, hermano, We're doing the right thing.
: '''Rex:''' You keep saying that, but I don't believe it anymore!
: ''[Jungle Cat snarls]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Bubbles, I'm sorry. Here, kitty, kitty. Left you out in the rain, rain go away--
: ''[Jungle Cat snarls]''
: ''[Jungle Cat snarling]''
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh! Easy on the hot sauce, Peter, Peter pumpkin two seater.
: '''Rylander:''' ''[to Caesar]'' Tell him, Caesar!
: '''Rex:''' Tell me what?
: '''Six:''' Revenge time is up.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Jungle Cat snarls]''
: ''[Jungle Cat roars]''
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' Aah! Careful! Our work! Ugh! Take it outside!
: '''Rex:''' Ugh!
: ''[Rex grunting]''
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Rex. Rex Salazar.
: '''Rex:''' I can't talk now! Ugh!
: '''Black Knight:''' Thank you.
: '''Rex:''' You're so not welcome.
: '''Black Knight:''' You should have left when you had the chance.
: ''[Black Knight grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' You guys have such a great cafeteria.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Had to come back for more.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Aah! Unh!
: '''Six:''' Unh!
: ''[Black Knight grunting]''
: '''Black Knight:''' Unh!
: '''Six:''' UNNNNNNNNH!
: '''Black Knight:''' Ugh!
: ''[Jungle Cat snarls]''
: '''Rex:''' Let's say adiós.
: '''Six:''' There's still plan "B".
: '''Rex:''' We're not assassins.
: '''Six:''' You're not. This might be our one chance.
: '''Rex:''' To be like them? Then what makes us different?
: '''Six:''' Go. I'm right behind you.
: '''Roswell:''' You brought us into an ambush! Right behind you, Mr. Chatterbox.
: '''Vostok:''' You are cowards.
: '''Reddick:''' Graveyards are full of dummies that thought they were though.
: '''Vostok:''' Black Knight, we have a lot to discuss about your future.
: '''Black Knight:''' By all means, let's talk.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Where's Six?
: '''Rex:''' He said he was right behind us.
: '''Six:''' I am. The Consortium still has to be dealt with.
: '''Rex:''' We now have three Master Control Nanites. I'd say the Consortium has to deal with us.
: '''Six:''' Understood.
: '''Jungle Cat:''' Purrfectly.
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' I'm shocked. What happened?
: '''Black Knight:''' It seems Vostok had an unfortunate run-in with our intruders as he was leaving. But, there's good news. The reactor is gone. Soon we will have all the nanites we need.
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' "We"?
: '''Black Knight:''' I think it's time we walked about my promotion.
===Convergence===
===Enter the Nanite World===
===Enemies Mine===
: '''Valve:''' Battle is to be waged between your courage and my power. You lose.
: '''Gatlocke:''' Valve, my friend. Lovely day for a riot, don't you think?
: '''Valve:''' What do you want, Gatlocke?
: '''Gatlocke:''' I want lots of things-- A doomsday weapon, my own private island, for my mom to stop calling me to fix her computer. But what I really want is to give you a message. It's time. I suppose I'll make the introductions.
: '''Valve:''' A biker needs no introduction. And everyone knows Hunter Cain.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Everything is going according to plan. We get one more thing. Then we get wrecked.
: '''Rex:''' Sorry we're late.
: '''Bobo:''' We're not late. We're fashionably early.
: '''Providence Agent:''' I was starting to think I was on my own. I've been calling for help, but Providence hasn't answered.
: '''Six:''' What set this off?
: '''Providence Agent:''' No idea. One moment everything was fine. The next moment, complete chaos.
: '''Rex:''' I'm heading in. I'll lock up when I'm done. Oh, don't bother getting up. I'm just gonna knock you back down again.
: '''Bobo:''' Back in your cages, you filthy animals!
: '''Rex:''' Huh? What? You? It's a who's-who of old EVOs. Whew! Really not in the mood for this. You're kidding me. You?!
: '''Gatlocke:''' Three men, one objective, no rules. Oh, this is exciting, isn't it? Or is it just me?
: '''Valve:''' The others are saying that Rex is here. Rex will get his when we're ready.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Watch yourselves. This one's unpredictable. We know what you want, No-Face. Then we can give it to you. Do what we say. Then you'll get Rex. You'll get the chance to tear Rex apart. Piece by piece. Now we're ready.
: '''Rex:''' So you remember who I am. Surprised you have a big enough brain for that. These cells are pretty dull. Let's redecorate. No way I'm letting an EVO get won over on me. Especially a big old frog.
: '''Gatlocke:''' Almost out. Freedom is just a... Bottomless ravine away.
: '''Valve:''' The biker begs the question, how are we getting across?
: '''Gatlocke:''' You know that's not really how begging the question is supposed to be used. Are we kidding? Anyone who gets worked up over that phrase needs to be savagely beaten.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' This'll override the drawbridge system.
: '''Gatlocke:''' Ooh, now how would someone like you procure something like that?
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Friends and hide places.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, frog legs. Let's put you in solitary confinement.
: '''Bobo:''' Do you look like you got run over by an overstuffed garbage truck?
: '''Rex:''' Feels like it. This is a prison riot. Where's Providence? They should be all over this.
: '''Six:''' They never responded to any calls.
: '''Rex:''' It's a setup. Providence wanted this to happen. But why?
: '''Six:''' Six here. Go ahead.
: '''Rex:''' Wait. This bridge wasn't down before.
: '''Bobo:''' Yeah. About that. Some of the prisoners escaped together. Gatlocke...
: '''Rex:''' That's bad.
: '''Bobo:''' Hunter Cain...
: '''Rex:''' That's even worse!
: '''Bobo:''' Valve.
: '''Rex:''' That's... Really? Valve?
: '''Bobo:''' Yeah. And No-Face.
: '''Rex:''' Those four are loose? Together?
: '''Six:''' We've got a bigger problem.
: '''Rex:''' How can it be bigger than this?
: '''Six:''' The EVOs in the city-- The only thing keeping them tame are their control collars.
: '''Rex:''' And this is a problem because...?
: '''Six:''' Because someone has shut them all down.
: '''Rex:''' Let me get that for you.
: '''Bobo:''' Dumpster dog. Considering you used to ride around in the Paris, I guess you're moving up in the world. Main to your mud.
: '''Six:''' Are you injured?
: '''Rex:''' Just worn out. Is this day over yet?
: '''Bobo:''' Oh! Signs pointing no.
: '''Rex:''' Huh? That came from the track. Can you handle things here?
: '''Bobo:''' Only one way to find out. Valve. Those nanite superchargers you keep using are bad for your health.
: '''Valve:''' If I were you, I'd be more concerned with your own short-term health.
: '''Rex:''' Please, like I have anything to worry about from you. The other three, they're dangerous. You, you're just comedy relief.
: '''Valve:''' I am not. Comedy relief.
: '''Rex:''' Well, you're not funny, that's for sure.
: '''Valve:''' Like the road that continues on, so must the biker.
: '''Rex:''' Where did he go so? Ew! Get away from my tacos, cockroach! Huh? You running away? I'll give you this much, Valve. Maybe you're getting smarter.
: '''No-Face:''' Unlike you.
: '''Rex:''' I put you away once, No-Face. I'll do it again.
: '''No-Face:''' The one who makes machines. The one we've been waiting for.
: '''Rex:''' Huh? Figures you try to shoot a guy in the back.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' All I see is a filthy EVO.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, first off, that Lai is tired. Second off, last time I checked, you're teaming up with one. Would that make you an EVO lover? All this hide and seek is wearing me down! Huh? Figures.
: '''Gatlocke:''' Leaving so soon? That's not going to impress the hiring committee. Now, let's see what we have here. "Honor roll, A/V Club." Ugh. "Glee Club." ''[Scoffs]'' I'm going to have to be brutally honest with you. You're perfect for my gang. Can you sing soprano? My last soprano drove his motorcycle off a cliff. He survived, but his voice was never the same. By the way, can you fly? This is quite the surprise. I'm willing to hire you, Rex, but you better have some excellent references.
: '''Rex:''' Back to prison, Gatlocke!
: '''Gatlocke:''' Then consider the offer rescinded! You could be a valued member of my gang. It's a tough job market out there, you know?
: '''Rex:''' I'd never work for you!
: '''Gatlocke:''' No, not with that attitude, you wouldn't. Welcome to my gang. Your first task is to destroy Rex-- That guy right there.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Gatlocke:''' Your second task is to complete harassment training. I teach the class. This pamphlet explains everything.
: '''Rex:''' No, no, no!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, come in. What's happening?
: '''Rex:''' One really bad day.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Your nanite readings are off the charts.
: '''Rex:''' No surprise. I've been fighting and curing EVOs non stop.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' We need to upload your nanites immediately.
: '''Rex:''' Now? Doc, my four worst enemies are still on the loose. Well, my three worst enemies in Valve. Plus the city's in chaos. And where in the world is Providence? How come they're not here dealing with this?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Six and Bobo can mop up the last few EVOs. You have to offload.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, fine. But we better make it fast.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You'll be locked in the chamber for one hour.
: '''Rex:''' Just do it, doc.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' This could be a long sixty minutes.
: '''Valve:''' According to the tracking bug, Rex is inside.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Gentlemen, this is what we've been waiting for. It's time for Rex to die.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' They followed him.
: '''Gatlocke:''' After we kill Rex. We should work together and form a team call ourselves... Gatlocke and the kitty cats.
: '''Valve:''' Silence your mouth or the biker will silence it for you.
: '''Gatlocke:''' Oh, Valve. You can pretend to be angry, but deep down, you know you're a kitty cat.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' They know we're here.
: '''Gatlocke:''' You're quite feisty. Have you ever considered a career in the fast growing field of post apocalyptic gangs?
: '''Valve:''' She has spirit. Valve the biker will see that spirit crushed.
: '''Gatlocke:''' You're Gatlocke's favorite kitty cat. Hmm. Rrr.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Don't follow her. She's trying to lead us away from Rex. Rex is close-by.
: '''Valve:''' Rex's chamber... Five minutes to spare.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' More than enough time.
: '''Gatlocke:''' I could have sworn that we'd agreed to take Rex out together.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' I'm changing the terms of the deal if you have a problem with that, feel free to stand right where you are. I've waited a long time for this. Rex!
: '''Valve:''' Empty? Or a trick of the mind?
: '''Rex:''' Isn't that obvious? Then again, that tracking bug you stuck on me was obvious, too. And the fake countdown? Obvious. It only took me thirty minutes to upload my nanites. You wanted to run me ragged so you could get me. Instead, here you are all in one place. Gotcha!
: '''Valve:''' UGHH!
: '''Rex:''' UGHHHH! I still don't get why you enlisted Valve. I mean, he's really a third-string bad guy.
: '''Valve:''' Valve is the biker. A biker is dangerous.
: '''Rex:''' Hmm. Yeah. No.
: '''Valve:''' Rrrr!
: '''Rex:''' So unpredictable. Like a third-string bad guy.
: '''Valve:''' AAAAH!
: '''Gatlocke:''' I have a horrible sneaking suspicion that he's winning.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' Then do something about it!
: '''Gatlocke:''' Don't have to yell. A kind word will get you much further.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Gatlocke:''' UGHHH! Oh! Oh! Oh ho ho! Ouch! My back! My front and my back! OHH! This is total, total agony!
: ''[Gatlocke gasps]''
: '''Gatlocke:''' ''[Calmly]'' I'm okay. Really. I'm fine.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' You're lucky. I'll give you that. But you're only delaying the inevitable. You can't beat us all!
: '''Rex:''' I never intended to. This offload facility? I reprogrammed it. My surplus nanites aren't being stored. They're powering the shield.
: '''Hunter Cain:''' It's a trap!
: '''Rex:''' Have fun keeping each other company!
: '''Bobo:''' What a day.
: '''Rex:''' You know, none of this would have happened if Providence hadn't released the convicts and turned out all those EVOs.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' They did that to keep you busy.
: '''Rex:''' Keep me busy from what?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' The Nanite Project. We just found out. While we dealt with the EVOs, Black Knight got her hands on another Master-Control Nanite.
: '''Rex:''' Then it's time.

===Terror of the Black Knight===
===Endgame, Part One===
: '''Rex:''' It was going to happen sooner or later. We had most of the pieces, so it was only a matter of time before the Black Knight made her move. And of all the chances she had to attack, it had to be tonight... at this very moment... while I was in the shower. Huh? How many?
: '''Six:''' Should it matter?
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Can't you do any better than that?
: '''Bobo:''' I thought you'd never ask.
: '''Rex:''' Rah! Yah!
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' If they get to the Meta-Nanites, we still have options.
: '''Rex:''' Of the self-destruct kind? No, thanks, doc. It's not going to end that way... hopefully.
: '''Black Knight:''' We'll dispense with the pleasantries. You know what we want.
: '''Rex:''' There is no way you're walking out of here with the nanites.
: '''Black Knight:''' You seem so certain.
: '''Rex:''' We've beaten you before. Every single time, in fact. So, this time is different... How? Okay, that's different. Ugh! You're an EVO?!
: '''Black Knight:''' Do you think you were the only one they experimented on back in the day? You were the guinea pig. Consider me the new-and-improved version.
: '''Rex:''' Okay. Before we go any further, I should probably explain a few things. It started when a bunch of rich guys decided they wanted to live forever, so they got the best scientists in the world to figure out how. The answer was nanites. These microscopic machines would cure disease, end hunger, and pretty much make the world a better place. My parents and older brother were on the team, and so was this guy. Look familiar? Van Kleiss. Then one day there was an accident. To save my life, my parents injected me with nanites. It worked. But there were a few crazy side effects, like the fact I could talk to machines and, later on, build some pretty cool things. That got the rich guys thinking-- How far could we take this? Turns out pretty far. These little machines could control the very fabric of the Universe, but they would need a Master-Control Nanite to program all the others and tell them what to do. Energy, gravity, time/space, elemental, mechanical-- All the things that make the Universe run. Combined together, they would pretty much make you a God. And when my brother and parents found out the Consortium was about to put these nanites inside themselves, they sort of freaked out in a "got to save the Earth" kind of way. Something had to be done to stop it. Turns out that meant blowing the whole thing up, better known as "The Nanite Event". That didn't end well for my parents. While everyone else ran away, my parents were trapped inside. Sill not sure how. There was some good news-- No more Master-Control Nanites. And the bad news? Dangerous unprogrammed nanites got spread across the world, and nanites plus DNA equals EVO. My brother Caesar got caught in a time warp during his escape. Van Kleiss got blown to smithereens and became the world's biggest pain in the nanite. And me? I got amnesia and traveled the globe living the good life... At least, that's how I tell it. The only part I know of wasn't all that much to brag about. I did get some good friends and a few enemies out of the deal. Turns out that losing my memory was a regular thing for me. Last time I woke up and said, "Who Am I?" It was when this guy found me-- Agent Six. He worked for Providence, sort of a global police force created to clean up after the event. It was paid for mostly by the same group of goons that started the whole thing-- The Consortium. It was great for a while. I had my own personal doctor, a chimp sidekick, a cool best friend to hang with. I was a full-fledged hero. The world loved me, and my powers kept getting better and better. Van Kleiss was still a pain, but I managed to take care of him. A few times, actually. Then things started to get not so cool. My brother shows up from out of nowhere. I get thrown six months into the future to find White Knight kicked out of Providence and this lady in charge-- Black Knight. She's been the lapdog of the Consortium from day one, and now her bosses want to pick up where they left off. Most of the old team of scientists have been reunited, and together, they've restarted the nanite program. The Master-Control Nanites were spread across the globe in the first explosion, and we've been racing against Providence to get them back. So far, we've been winning that fight, and that pretty much brings us to right now.
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Black Knight grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' The Black Pawns are robots?!
: '''Black Knight:''' Total obedience at the flip of a switch. Can you blame me?
: '''Black Pawn:''' What's so funny?
: '''Six:''' I hold back against people. You're not people.
: ''[Bobo Haha grunts]''
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Black Knight grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' Huh? Ugh!
: '''Feakins:''' Hey! Hey! Take it easy, would you? Oh!
: '''Rex:''' Fitzy?!
: '''Feakins:''' Heh? Sorry, guy. They found me. She's hard to say "No" to... and live.
: '''Black Knight:''' Well put, Mr. Feakins. And thanks to his unique ability, we can set aside our nanite enhancements and do this the old-fashioned way.
: '''Rex:''' Come on. That's not fair. I'm unarmed!
: '''Black Knight:''' Precisely.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Stop! Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad idea.
: '''Rex:''' Listen to the crazy guy.
: '''Black Knight:''' Why are you here, Van Kleiss?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' I forgot. Oh, no, wait. I remember. He's got a Master-Control Nanite swallowed up inside him. It's been hiding, the naughty thing.
: '''Rex:''' On second thought, don't listen to him. He's, uh-- He's crazy, remember?
: '''Black Knight:''' You're sure of this?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, yes, yes. Quite sure. Do you have any mints?
: '''Black Knight:''' I want Rex at the lab. Restrain and sedate him.
: '''Rex:''' How, hold on a minute.
: '''Feakins:''' Hey! What about me?
: '''Black Knight:''' I'm not taking any chances. He stays with Rex. Kill the others.
: '''Rex:''' Ugh! Ahh.
: '''Master-Control Nanite:''' Human.
: '''Rex:''' What are you telling me? What do you want?
: '''Master-Control Nanite:''' Complete. Complete. Complete. Complete. Complete.
: '''Rex:''' Okay, I get it. How?
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Rex gasps]''
: '''Caesar:''' Calm down, Rex. You're safe.
: '''Rex:''' Safe?! Black Knight and her robo-troopers just came knocking, and Van crazy says I have a Master-Control Nanite inside me!
: '''Caesar:''' Fascinating, isn't it? All this time, it's been hiding undetected inside you. I wonder if this particular control unit is responsible for his unique nano-evolution.
: '''Rex:''' Are any of you even listening to me?
: '''Feakins:''' Boy, I am. It's like a movie but real! I just want to go start pressing buttons. Can I get another milkshake?
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' How exactly do you plan on getting it out of him?
: '''Black Knight:''' I have a suggestion. Tear it out.
: '''Rylander:''' It would kill him.
: '''Black Knight:''' That's none of my concern.
: '''Caesar:''' The nanite is tied to his DNA. Simply pulling it out of him would ruin the nanite.
: '''Rex:''' And me, too, remember?
: '''Caesar:''' The only way this will work is if we put him in the cyclotron with the other Metas. It should extract automatically during the reassembly.
: '''Black Knight:''' And if it doesn't?
: '''Caesar:''' Hmm. Good question.
: '''Rex:''' Here's another one-- Don't I get a say in this? Like, isn't this the exact thing that our parents died trying to stop?
: '''Black Knight:''' Take him to the hub and prepare for the transfer. The Consortium is here and extremely impatient. I want this finished within the hour.
: '''Feakins:''' Aah! Hey, what am I-- Sandpaper? Not so rough! ''[sputtering]'' Rough.
: '''Rex:''' Glad someone can see the humor in this.
: '''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, see that Rex is well taken care of.
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' ''[to Caesar]'' I hope you know what you're doing, Salazar. This is a huge risk we're taking.
: '''Rylander:''' Listen to Peter. The thing we swore to stop at any cost, the thing that took your parents-- It could happen-- Right here, today!
: '''Caesar:''' It can't, and it won't. You'll have to trust me on this.
: '''Rylander:''' You can only say that so many times, Caesar.
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' We've been waiting almost an hour. Not even refreshments?
: '''Black Knight:''' You can have your snack after we become Gods.
: '''Roswell:''' "We"?
: '''Black Knight:''' That's right-- "We." None of this would be possible without my efforts.
: '''Roswell:''' And our money, sister.
: '''Black Knight:''' By all means, have your contempt. There's plenty of room buried next to the Russian if you'd like to keep him company. That's what I thought. Now, if you'll follow me--
: '''Bobo:''' "Kill the others." Not gonna happen, lady. We're bulletproof. Ow! Hangnail.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Ugh! We know where they took him. Why are we here? We need to go get Rex.
: '''Six:''' I agree. We just don't have the resources, Rebecca. We'd need an army.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You've been known to make the impossible happen, Six. How hard could that be?
: '''Six:''' Six here. Copy that. We just got ourselves an army.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' You see?
: '''Van Kleiss:''' That will be all.
: '''Feakins:''' But the lady said-- Good luck, Kid.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' These restraints were made for you. You're very special, you know.
: '''Rex:''' Lucky me.
: '''Caesar:''' Van Kleiss... leave us.
: '''Rex:''' I really hate you.
: '''Caesar:'''I know how this looks, Rex.
: '''Rex:''' But what? I just have to trust you? Is that what you were going to say? Just help me-- Please.
: '''Caesar:''' It may not seem like it, but I am.
: '''Rex:''' Caesar... I'm scared.
: '''Caesar:''' So am I, little brother. This will all be over in a few minutes.
: '''Rex:''' It's already over! When I get out of this, I never want to see you again!
: '''Rylander:''' Commencing countdown.
: '''Roswell:''' WHOO-HOO!
: '''Reddick:''' Payback time!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Caesar:''' This won't be entirely unpleasant. It should feel similar to when you offload surplus nanites.
: '''Rex:''' Stop! You can't do this! You can't merge!
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' Something's wrong.
: '''Rylander:''' Of course something's wrong. The kid is fighting it.
: '''Caesar:''' This could be bad.
: '''Rylander:''' You have to tell him, Caesar!
: '''Caesar:''' Rex, you have to stop. Listen to me. The nanites are supposed to do-- Rex? Can you hear me?
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' Actually, he can't. There's a short in the comm relay.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' This would be a wonderful day for a picnic.
: '''Rex:''' RA-A-A-A-A-A-H!
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' Ugh!
: '''Black Knight:''' Ugh!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' So much for that plan.
: ''[Rex laughs]''
: '''Rex:''' Oh, serves you right. All that and you come out of the oven looking like freaks. Nice job!
: '''Black Knight:''' It's not exactly what we were expecting, but it's a start.
: '''Reddick:''' This isn't what we agreed to.
: '''Roswell:''' Where's the rest of our power? This is all messed up!
: '''Dr. Meechum:''' How can this be possible?
: '''Rylander:''' The Meta-Nanites were dispersed between the five. This is quite a surprise.
: '''Caesar:''' We've got to get Rex out of there. Step aside, Van Kleiss.
: '''Van Kleiss:''' They still don't have what they want... and neither do you.
: '''Black Knight:''' You're angry. I can see that. If you want to take it out on anyone, it should be Rex.
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' I think I can agree to that.
: '''Roswell:''' Count me in! This might actually be fun!
: '''Rex:''' Let's think about this for a second. Whoa!
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: '''Rex:''' How 'bout that? Exactly one second. Whoa! Aah!
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' What a perfect way to learn to use our powers-- Tearing this brat apart.
: '''Rex:''' Only one problem with that, sparky. I've been using my powers a whole lot longer-- And I'm pretty good.
: '''Roswell:''' You got any ideas here, missy, or we gonna stand around and get it handed to us?
: '''Black Knight:''' The Meta-Nanites were designed to work together. So will we.
: '''Rex:''' What? Are you gonna join together to make a robo-mutant?
: '''Black Knight:''' That's exactly what we're going to do.
: '''Rex:''' I need to stop giving them ideas. Huh?
: ''[Rex grunts]''
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Black Knight:''' No one the help you-- No family, no friends, nothing. It's a terrible way to go.
: '''White Knight:''' Captain Calan, target the base. All weapons, sire.
: '''Providence Agent:''' Fire control reports they're being jammed, sir.
: '''White Knight:''' Only one salvo. Black Knight must have prepared for this.
: ''[Rex groans softly]''
: '''Rex:''' Big giant robot. Black Knight.
: '''Six:''' We know.
: '''Rex:''' Have to... stay and stop them.
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Another time, Rex.
: '''Rex:''' I-I--
: ''[Rex groans]''
: '''Dr. Holiday:''' Holiday to White Knight. We have Rex.
: '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' We're just gonna watch them go?!
: '''Black Knight:''' Let Providence have their weapon back. With our combined power, the world is ours.
===Endgame, Part Two===
:'''Black Knight:''' Science has given us a tremendous gift-- Nanites. We've seen what they can do-- The good and the bad. But they're true potential has been largely unseen. Until now. Our goals are varied. Fame... power... revenge... wealth... order. Yet, one thing unites us-- Greed. You're surprised I admit it? Well, don't be. You'll never get far in life without wanting it all. And for those who might consider standing in our way... We'll let our powers speak for themselves. The world is ours. And no one can stop us.
:''[Roswell laughs]''
:'''Roswell:''' This is more fun than my first rodeo. What else you got?
:'''Six:''' Any change?
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' He's sleeping. The nanites in him are making repairs. That's a good thing. He's a tough kid, Six.
:'''Six:''' I know.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' See you next time. Judging by what you fed us for lunch, I'm guessing twenty minutes. Can't even go to the little scientists' room without them breathing down our necks. How long are we going to put up with this?
:'''Caesar:''' I know it's not easy working under these circumstances.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' Do you? I don't hear you complaining, or have you even noticed that we're prisoniers?
:'''Rylander:''' Gentlemen, please. Can we focus on a more important problem? The Consortium's gain of power is a troubling outcome. Something should be done.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' If you're talking about stopping them, I'm listening.
:'''Black Knight:''' I want you all in the boardroom in three minutes.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' The world is being taken over by nanite-fueled ex-c.e.o. Psychos, and they still act like they're running a business.
:'''Roswell:''' You nerds gave us a raw deal. I want a do-over.
:'''Caesar''': A do-over?
:'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' What my colleague means to say is that our powers are remarkable to be sure, but we only have one seventh of what we were promised.
:'''Rylander:''' You're asking a lot.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' You're asking the impossible. You'd be lucky to survive the extraction.
:'''Caesar:''' This is true. You may be powerful, but you're not Rex.
:'''Black Knight:''' I share your disappointment, gentlemen. But are you willing to lose everything for this?
:'''Roswell:''' Go big or go home.
:'''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, what do you have to say?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Easy-peasy. I can do it. It's only a matter of correctly calibrating the bio-filters with the homing frequency of the nanites. By the way, have you seen my socks?
:'''Caesar:''' Van Kleiss--
:'''Black Knight:''' Has an assignment. The rest of you... Stay out of trouble.
:'''Rex:''' You started without me.
:'''Six:''' Glad to see you up and around. Something bothering you?
:'''Rex:''' Besides black knight taking over the world? I'm trying to find my friends. I know Providence took them.
:'''Six:''' We're working on that.
:'''Rex:''' And are we doing anything about the Consortium? What about... The robot? The one I can build. Don't play dumb, Six.
:'''Six:''' Come with me.
:'''Rex:''' That's me? No way! All this time, I could have been making myself into that thing? Ohh! Maybe not.
:'''Six:''' Evidence suggest that you've never been able to control it. It's a weapon of last defense. This was filmed on the day that I found you. It was also the day I made a promise that it would be the last time you ever built this machine.
:''[Rex scoffs]''
:'''Rex:''' Or what, you'd kill me? You plan on keeping that promise?
:'''Six:''' Rex, you have to know something. We believe this is the type of thing that ends in you losing your memory.
:'''Rex:''' Well, it happened to you, and you turned out just fine.
:'''Six:''' I only lost six years. Six years is all you have. You would lose everything. I'm not gonna tell you what to do, but you need to think about the consequences of some of your options.
:'''Noah:''' It feels weird hanging out when the world is under attack. I don't know if I should be fighting back or out in the wilderness setting up a survival compound.
:'''Rex:''' If you had the power to stop all this, but it meant losing everything, would you do it, Noah?
:'''Noah:''' I don't know. I'm just glad I don't have to make that kind of decision. I guess that's why you're the hero.
:''[Rex sighs]''
:'''Rex:''' I wish I could get some kind of sign. Anything. Hmm.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Red and yellow, red and yellow. One false move can kill a fellow.
:''[Van Kleiss laughs]''
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' He's got local control. We're locked out. I still don't even know how this is possible.
:'''Rylander:''' I've been looking at the data projections. As crazy as Van Kleiss is, his theory is sound.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Sorry to disturb your sleepy sleep. There might be a slight delay.
:'''Black Knight:''' Why?
:'''Van Kleiss:''' We have a visitor. Should I set out tea?
:'''Rex:''' Hey, in there! Come on out!
:'''Black Knight:''' Back for more? Happy to accommodate.
:'''Rex:''' I should warn you. It's going to get ugly.
:'''Black Knight:''' One would think you would have learned the last time. I can feel you resisting me. Stop.
:'''Roswell:''' Why is it you get to call all the shots?
:'''Black Knight:''' Because I'm the one who has the power to join us. Help me defeat Rex, and you can call all the shots you like.
:'''Rex:''' Hyah!
:''[Rex babbling]''
:''[Rex gasps]''
:'''Six:''' It's a weapon of last defense. It's happened.
:'''Noah:''' That's Rex?
:'''White Knight:''' I'm going to assume you're seeing what I'm seeing.
:'''Six:''' White--
:'''White Knight:''' Before you say anything, Six-- Whatever agreement we may have had regarding this situation no longer applies. Am I clear?
:'''Six:''' Understood.
:'''Dr. Holiday''': What was that all about?
:'''Six:''' A second chance.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six, we have to do something.
:'''Six:''' I've seen it before. We're too late.
:''[Rex coughing]''
:'''Rex:''' Donde esta mi zapato?
:'''Noah:''' Rex! Hold on!
:'''Rex:''' What? What happened?
:'''Bobo:''' You blew up, kid.
:'''Six:''' Do you know who we are?
:'''Rex:''' I... I do! Oh-ho! I remember! Ow! Ow! I wish I could forget this pain in my... The Consortium!
:'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' This is utter nonsense. I refuse to be led around like a show dog.
:'''Reddick:''' You can always go back outside and take it up with Providence.
:'''Black Knight:''' Guard the door. Nothing gets by you.
:'''Six:''' They're robots.
:'''Rex:''' Oh! Right! That part I forgot.
:'''Bobo:''' Next time, leave some for the rest of us, huh?
:'''Rylander:''' I'll stay here and guard the equipment.
:''[Rylander laughs]''
:'''Caesar:''' Little brother, they've had this place completely locked down. I've been trying to reach you.
:'''Bobo:''' What he said.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' Yeah, you deserved that.
:'''Rex:''' Open it.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' We can't. Still completely locked out of the system. Besides, you can't interrupt once the cycle has started.
:'''Rex:''' Well, then, un-start it!
:'''Black Knight:''' You cleaned up for the occasion. How thoughtful of you.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, this isn't for you. You didn't actually believe that I'd let the five of you have all this power.
:'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' I thought you were working for us?
:''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]''
:'''Rex:''' You see that? I knew it! He's not crazy! Okay... oh! He's crazy, but just his usual crazy.
:'''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, I am not amused.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' I don't imagine you would be. This was always my intention, even in the very beginning. It's a pity your parents caught me trying to activate the sequence for myself. And, of course, there's the "broken" hatch. The world would be a much better place if they had just left well enough alone.
:'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' Black Knight, do something.
:'''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, you have made a huge mistake.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, then, let the fun begin.
:''[Black Knight groans]''
:''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]''
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' You can't overload that relay from a subdirectory. You have to get a root. It's impossible from here.
:'''Caesar:''' You're a very negative person, Peter Meechum.
:''[Dr. Meechum groans]''
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' I'll try from the main terminal in the lab.
:''[Rex grunts]''
:'''Caesar:''' Rex, wait! That's not necessary.
:'''Rex:''' I'm not waiting around, hermano.
:'''Caesar:''' No. That's not what I mean.
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Yes. I can see it.
:''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]''
:'''Van Kleiss:''' Huh? No.
:''[Van Kleiss groans]''
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's incredible something so small could have so much [[w:Omnipotence|power]]. That thing could rip apart the very fabric of the universe.
:'''Rex:''' It's still a nanite. I'm gonna talk to it.
:'''Caesar:''' No. It's okay.
:''[The fully complete Meta Nanite comes to Rex, as if it were waiting for him, whose eyes and body glow with a pale blue cosmic aura.]''
:'''Caesar:''' Rex, listen to me. The Meta-Nanite-- It could never work in anyone but you. Now in its pure state. Mom and dad, we programmed them that way from the very beginning. All of this... It's meant for you.
:'''Six:''' What are you saying?
:'''Caesar:''' Right now, Rex is [[Omnipotence|the most powerful being in the universe]].
:'''Bobo:''' You hear that, Kid? Don't let it get to your head.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, can you hear me?
:'''Rex:''' Yeah, doc. This is pretty trippy. Not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do now.
:'''Black Knight:''' You're a [[God]], Rex. You can do anything you want.
:'''Six:''' You know what to do.
:'''Rex:''' You're right, Six. So are the rest of you. I can do anything I want. Maybe it's time for a revolution. Isn't that what you five wanted? A revolution? Well, welcome to it.
:'''Noah:''' Is he gonna be like this from now on?
:'''Rylander:''' Uh... People. He's inside the nanite reactor.
:'''Dr. Holiday and Caesar:''' Inside?
:'''Rex:''' Okay, little guys. I need you to do something for me.
:'''Black Knight:''' Follow me, quickly.
:'''Reddick:''' I'm through following you. We trusted you everything, and look what we got.
:'''Black Knight:''' We may still be able to retain some of our abilities, but only if you follow me.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' Are you seeing this?
:'''Rylander:''' Tehnically, I don't have eyes, but yes.
:'''Providence Agent:''' Reports are coming in. EVO's all over the world are spontaneously curing.
:'''Six:''' Not spontaneous.
:'''Caesar:''' He must have programmed all the nanites in the reactor to initiate a worldwide cure event.
:'''Black Knight:''' What is your next directive?
:'''Rex:''' I don't want anyone using you again. Ever. And that includes me. Deactivate.
:''[Rex groans]''
:'''Rex:''' I think it's over.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' I think you're right.
:'''Caesar:''' I wanted to tell you, brother. So much was at stake.
:'''Rex:''' We're good. And we'll always be brothers.
:'''Diane Ferrah:''' Across the world, not an EVO to be found. After more than six years, it appears we've awoken from the nightmare.
:'''White Knight:''' The EVOs may be gone, but we still have nanites.
:'''Rex:''' Leave it to you to spoil all the fun, White Knight.
:'''Dr. Holiday:''' There are some people here to see you, Rex.
:'''Rex:''' Tuck? Cricket? Skwydd?
:'''Skwydd:''' Eh, I guess I should start going by Walter again.
:''[Rex runs to Circe and the two lovers share a close hug, happy to be together at last]''
:'''Rex:''' Uh... Are you...?
:'''Circe:''' I'm okay. Normal, but okay. I think you may have put yourself out of a job.
:'''Skywdd:''' Yeah. What are you gonna do? Go to school?
:'''Rylander:''' It was nice having the team back together. You know, we should find a new project.
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' You kidding? I'd rather have root canal with a rake. Worst experience of my life.
:'''Caesar:''' Do you want to hear about some of my new ideas or not?
:'''Dr. Meechum:''' I'm listening.
:'''Rex:''' Finally.
:'''Six:''' Need anything?
:'''Rex:''' Nope. I'm good. There's always going to be something, isn't there?
:'''Six:''' Yes, there is.

'''{{w|Criticism}}''' is the activity of judgement or informed interpretation. In literary and academic contexts, the term most frequently refers to literary criticism, art criticism, or other such fields, and to scholars' attempts to understand the aesthetic object in depth.
__NOTOC__
{{TOCalpha}}
==A==
* I am bound by my own definition of criticism: a disinterested endeavour to learn and propagate the best that is known and thought in the world.
** [[Matthew Arnold]], ''Essays in Criticism, 1st Series, The Function of Criticism at the Present Time.''
* We should never let support blind us, or become a substitute for continuing to be both self-critical, and dedicated to our goals. We should not be dissuaded by our critics, but we should be able to honestly ask ourselves if there is anything to learn from them. Hopefully, the fact that sympathizers and critics are taking notice means that we are actually doing something.
** [[Arik Ascherman]], ''[https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/pursue-justice-whether-you-are-praised-or-vilified/ Pursue Justice Whether You Are Praised, or Vilified]'' (September 6, 2019), ''{{w|The Times of Israel}}''.
* Whatever else he may do, a critic reveals and criticises himself.
** [[Alfred Austin]], ''In Veronica's Garden'' (London: Macmillan and Co., 1895), p. 91.
==B==
* Whoever hates correction goes the way of sinners; he who fears the Lord turns to him in his heart.
** Ben Sirach, ''[[Ecclesiasticus]]'', Chapter 21 : 6
* CRITIC, n. A person who boasts himself hard to please because nobody tries to please him.
** [[Ambrose Bierce]], ''The Cynic's Dictionary'' (1906); republished as ''The Devil's Dictionary'' (1911).
* Great art is a religious function...great criticism is, therefore—since it is necessary for great art—a religious function. Even when you're saying something negative, it might be in the service of the Lord
** {{w|Wayne C. Booth}}, "Art and the Church," ''Literature and Belief'', 1981
* In all of history, we have found just one cure for error—a partial antidote against making and repeating grand, foolish mistakes, a remedy against self-deception. That antidote is criticism.
** [[David Brin]], ''[[w:The Transparent Society|The Transparent Society]]'', Ch. 1 (1998).
* He was in Logic, a great critic,<br>Profoundly skill'd in Analytic;<br>He could distinguish, and divide<br>A hair 'twixt south and south-west side.
** [[Samuel Butler (poet)|Samuel Butler]], ''Hudibras'', Part I (1663-64), Canto I, line 65.
* I am not a critic; to me criticism is so often nothing more than the eye garrulously denouncing the shape of the peephole that gives access to hidden treasure.
** [[Djuna Barnes]], in "The Songs of Synge : The Man Who Shaped His Life as He Shaped His Plays", in ''New York Morning Telegraph'' (18 February 1917).
==C==
* Criticism, whatever may be its pretensions, never does more than to define the impression which is made upon it at a certain moment by a work wherein the writer himself noted the impression of the world which he received at a certain hour.
** [[James Branch Cabell]], in ''The Certain Hour'' (1916).
* I love criticism as long as it is unqualified praise.
** [[Noël Coward]], in Margaret McManus, "Noël Coward a 'Blithe Spirit' — in Sunny Jamaica", ''[[w:The Des Moines Register|The Des Moines Register]]'' (January 8, 1956), Section: Iowa TV Magazine, p. 5.
==E==
* Those who are esteemed umpires of taste are often persons who have acquired some knowledge of admired pictures or sculptures, and have an inclination for whatever is elegant; but if you inquire whether they are beautiful souls, and whether their own acts are like fair pictures, you learn that they are selfish and sensual.
** [[Ralph Waldo Emerson]], “The Poet,” ''Essays, Second Series'' (1883), p. 9
==F==
* '''Whenever you feel like criticizing any one... just remember that all the people in this [[world]] haven't had the [[advantages]] that you've had.'''
** [[F. Scott Fitzgerald]], ''[[The Great Gatsby]]'', (1925), ch. 1, p. 1.
==G==
* '''To [[study]] [[Buddhism]] and then use it as a [[weapon]] in order to [[criticize]] others' [[theories]] or [[ideologies]] is [[wrong]]. The very [[purpose]] of [[religion]] is to control [[yourself]], not to criticize others.''' Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life with the knowledge of the Buddhist teachings.
** [[Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama]], in "A Talk to Western Buddhists", in ''The Dalai Lama, A Policy of Kindness: An Anthology by and about the Dalai Lama'' (1990) edited by Sidney Piburn, p. 87
==H==
* '''Parodies and caricatures are the most penetrating of criticisms.'''
** [[Aldous Huxley]], ''Point Counter Point, Chapter 28''.
==J==
* Critics should never socialize with artists; it’s difficult enough to like their work in the first place.
** [[w:Alexander Jablokov|Alexander Jablokov]], ''At the Cross-Time Jaunters’ Ball'' (1987), reprinted in [[w:Gardner Dozois|Gardner Dozois]] (ed.), ''[[w:The Year's Best Science Fiction: Fifth Annual Collection|The Year's Best Science Fiction: Fifth Annual Collection]]'', p. 101
* “Ah, ‘The Suffering Critic.’ A work to gladden the heart of any artist.”
** [[w:Alexander Jablokov|Alexander Jablokov]], ''At the Cross-Time Jaunters’ Ball'' (1987), reprinted in [[w:Gardner Dozois|Gardner Dozois]] (ed.), ''[[w:The Year's Best Science Fiction: Fifth Annual Collection|The Year's Best Science Fiction: Fifth Annual Collection]]'', p. 106
* We must grant the artist his subject, his idea, his ''donné'': our criticism is applied only to what he makes of it.
** [[Henry James]], ''The Art of Fiction, 'Partial Portraits.'
* 'Tis not the wholesome sharp morality,<br>Or modest anger of a satiric spirit,<br>That hurts or wounds the body of a state,<br>But the sinister application<br>Of the malicious, ignorant, and base<br>Interpreter; who will distort and strain<br>The general scope and purpose of an author<br>To his particular and private spleen.
** [[Ben Jonson]], ''The Poetaster'' (1601), Act V, scene 1.
==L==
* One would think that an unsuccessful volume was like a degree in the school of reviewing. One unread work makes the judge [[bitter]] enough ; but a second failure, and he is quite desperate in his damnation. I do believe one half of the injustice — the severity of 'the ungentle craft' originates in its own want of success ; they cannot forgive the popularity which has passed them over.
** [[Letitia Elizabeth Landon]], ''[[Romance and Reality]]'' (1831), Vol I Chapter 14
* Critics are sentinels in the grand army of letters, stationed at the corners of newspapers and reviews, to challenge every new author.
** [[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]], ''Kavanagh: A Tale'' (1849), Chapter XIII.
* Many critics are like woodpeckers, who, instead of enjoying the fruit and shadow of a tree, hop incessantly around the trunk, pecking holes in the bark to discover some little worm or other.
** [[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]], ''Final Memorials of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow'' (1887), Chapter XIX.
==M==
* The modern proliferation of theoretical means and critical methods barely conceals the fact that we still allow ourselves to write about these works only within the narrowest disciplinary boundaries. We move from rigorous scholarship (the phrase is already too obvious) to ideological commitments that often seem, even when they are put forward in the name of History, to have forgotten the perils of devotion to an idea; to some straitened notion of pleasure; to the fantasy that some new science of rhetorical displacements will finally release us from the cold regime of the final signified. We have plenty of psychoanalytic criticism, formalist criticism, ideological criticism, etc., but where is our fear criticism? our despair criticism? our disgust criticism? our criticism of resentment? of petty ambition? of treachery, deceit, jealousy, hysterical rage? Nowhere in sight; and yet it would hardly require much effort to discover them all just beneath the thin civility of the strictest critical decorum. Then what if we were able to pursue critical fear, to identify critics with their fear, to prove that service to the text is driven by jealous desires, horrified resentment, abject loathing.

* ''Indessen ist das gerade wieder der Vorzug der neuen Richtung, daß wir nicht dogmatisch die Welt antizipieren, sondern erst aus der Kritik der alten Welt die neue finden wollen. ... Ist die Konstruktion der Zukunft und das Fertigwerden für alle Zeiten nicht unsere Sache, so ist desto gewisser, was wir gegenwärtig zu vollbringen haben, ich meine die rücksichtslose Kritik alles Bestehenden, rücksichtslos sowohl in dem Sinne, daß die Kritik sich nicht vor ihren Resultaten fürchtet und ebensowenig vor dem Konflikte mit den vorhandenen Mächten.''
** We do not dogmatically anticipate the world, but only want to find the new world through criticism of the old one. ... If constructing the future and settling everything for all times are not our affair, it is all the more clear what we have to accomplish at present: I am referring to ruthless criticism of all that exists, ruthless both in the sense of not being afraid of the results it arrives at and in the sense of being just as little afraid of conflict with the powers that be.

* In the proudest nations of the Old World works were published which faithfully portrayed the vices and absurdities of contemporaries; La Bruyère lived in Louis XIV’s palace while he wrote his chapter on the great, and Molière criticized the court in plays acted before the courtiers. But the power which dominates in the United States does not understand being mocked like that. The least reproach offends it, and the slightest sting of truth turns it fierce; and one must praise everything, from the turn of its phrases to its most robust virtues. No writer, no matter how famous, can escape from this obligation to sprinkle incense over his fellow citizens. Hence the majority lives in a state of perpetual self-adoration; only strangers or experience may be able to bring certain truths to the Americans’ attention.

* How is he made? Oftentimes bitter, sometimes sweet, seldom even wide-awake, architectural criticism of "the modern" wholly lacks inspiration or any qualification because it lacks the appreciation that is love: the flame essential to profound understanding. Only as criticism is the fruit of such experience will it ever be able to truly appraise anything. Else the spirit of true criticism is lacking. '''The spirit is love and love alone can understand.''' So art criticism is sour and superficial today because it would seem to know all about everything but understand nothing.

* In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends... Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.
** Anton Ego (voiced by [[w:Peter O'Toole|Peter O'Toole]]) in ''[[Ratatouille]]'' (2007), written by [[Brad Bird]]

* ...there is no longer any serious antagonism between critics, film distributors and moviemakers... we are now... welcomed respectfully by publicists, our notices, as they used to be called, filleted for favourable comments, but generally disregarded.

==Comics==
* There were a lot of working professionals who were just sort of appalled at our attitude and probably at our punkish disrespect for mainstream, predominantly superhero, comics in general. They didn't think it was legitimate to criticize comics in that sort of high-toned way. Mainstream creators took a certain degree of pride in their work, but it was pride in them from the perspective of hard-core fans, and they weren't really imposing standards on them, other than craft standards, which had devolved from the history of comics—and the history of comics is mostly just a history of crap. So when we came in and applied these "exalted" standards to comics, creators were, frankly, pissed off.
** Gary Groth [http://bookforum.com/bookies.html BookForum] Summer 2006.
* The trick to writing comics criticism meant for an audience beyond the cult, I think—and, really, if the criticism is good enough and is in any kind of a general-interest venue, the audience will come—is subtle exposition: I try to write for a general audience, and give them everything they need to know, without making it look like I'm explaining something esoteric. In a lot of ways, the long comics reviews I write are just book reviews; I figure out a hook or some kind of engaging way of addressing the subject, I assess the thing in question, and I don't make a big deal out of the fact that it's a comic, any more than Kael would hem and haw over the fact that what she was reviewing was a motion picture.
** Douglas Wolk ''[http://graphiclanguage.blogspot.com/ Graphic Language]'' May 17 2006.

[[File:Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord.PNG|thumb|right| It is the beginning of the end.]]
'''[[w:Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord|Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord]]''' ([[2 February]] [[1754]] – [[17 May]] [[1838]]), '''1st Prince of Benevento''', then '''Prince of Talleyrand''', was a French clergyman and leading diplomat. After studying theology, he became [[w:Agent-General of the Clergy|Agent-General of the Clergy]] in 1780. In 1789, just before the [[French Revolution]], he became [[w:Bishop of Autun|Bishop of Autun]]. He worked at the highest levels of successive French governments, most commonly as foreign minister or in some other diplomatic capacity. His career spanned the regimes of [[w:Louis XVI of France|Louis XVI]], the years of the French Revolution, [[Napoleon]], [[w:Louis XVIII of France|Louis XVIII]], and [[Louis Philippe I|Louis-Philippe]]. Those Talleyrand served often distrusted him but, like Napoleon, found him extremely useful. The name "Talleyrand" has become a byword for crafty, cynical diplomacy.
Talleyrand polarizes scholarly opinion. Some regard him as one of the most versatile, skilled and influential diplomats in European history, and some believe that he was a traitor, betraying in turn the [[Kingdom of France|Ancien Régime]], the [[French Revolution]], Napoleon, and the [[w:Bourbon Restoration in France|Restoration]].
== Quotes ==
* ''Celui qui n'a pas vécu au dix-huitième siècle avant la Révolution ne connaît pas la douceur de vivre et ne peut imaginer ce qu'il peut y avoir de bonheur dans la vie. C'est le siècle qui a forgé toutes les armes victorieuses contre cet insaisissable adversaire qu'on appelle l'ennui. L'Amour, la Poésie, la Musique, le Théâtre, la Peinture, l'Architecture, la Cour, les Salons, les Parcs et les Jardins, la Gastronomie, les Lettres, les Arts, les Sciences, tout concourait à la satisfaction des appétits physiques, intellectuels et même moraux, au raffinement de toutes les voluptés, de toutes les élégances et de tous les plaisirs. L'existence était si bien remplie qui si le dix-septième siècle a été le Grand Siècle des gloires, le dix-huitième a été celui des indigestions.''
** Whoever did not live in the eighteenth century before the Revolution does not know the sweetness of life and cannot imagine what happiness there can be in life. It is the century that forged all victorious weapons against this elusive adversary called [[boredom]]. Love, Poetry, Music, Theater, Painting, Architecture, [[w:French_court |the Court]], [[w:Salon (gathering)|Salons]], Parks and Gardens, Gastronomy, Letters, Arts, Sciences, all contributed to the satisfaction of physical, intellectual and even moral appetites, to the refinement of all voluptuousness, all elegance and all pleasures. The existence was so full that if the seventeenth century was the Great Century of glories, the eighteenth was that of indigestion.

== Quotes about Talleyrand ==
* [[Napoleon]] was essentially a man of visions and impulses, every conjecture, every trick of circumstance only prompting him to more grand designs, only luring his eye to more untrodden hills. But Talleyrand could not go with him all the way, and, aristocrat at heart, would not consent to be a mute unreasoning tool. Talleyrand's thought was of that withering kind that was so fashionable and attractive in the gilded world of his youth. He talked with a wink and a smile, his sarcasm would charm a [[w:Salon (gathering)|salon]], and, in repartee, he would cover a sword-thrust with velvet; but always his was the talk of the sceptic rather than the enthusiast, the critic rather than the dreamer; he could be delightfully oblique, he was never daringly grand. He thought best when on the defensive. This is where he differed from his master. This is why he was able to play a sort of second critical self to Napoleon, checking his flights of ambition, softening his intemperate expressions, and moderating his indiscreet outbursts—and, on the positive side, furnishing him expedients rather than grand designs. Hence he was perhaps the man to know Napoleon, and realise the true situation of affairs, better than Napoleon himself.
** [[Herbert Butterfield]], ''The Peace Tactics of Napoleon 1806–1808'' (1929), pp. 167-168
* His age was venerable, his society was delightful, and there was an exhibition of conservative wisdom, ‘of moderate and healing counsels,’ in all his thoughts, words, and actions very becoming to his age and station, vastly influential from his sagacity and experience, and which presented him to the eyes of men as a statesman like [[William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley|Burleigh]] or [[Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon|Clarendon]] for prudence, temperance, and discretion.
** [[Charles Greville (diarist)|Charles Greville]], diary entry (23 May 1838), quoted in ''The Greville Memoirs (Second Part): A Journal of the Reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1852. Vol. I'', ed. Henry Reeve (1885), p. 95
* M. de Talleyrand, the most celebrated wit, courtier, and negotiator of his time. The public life of that celebrated man had not been free from the stains which, in times of frequent and violent change, are almost necessarily contracted by politicians. But it is just to say, that, if he was unfaithful to particular parties and particular families, he was in the main faithful to the interests of his country and to the great principles of government; that, though a revolutionist, he was never a [[w:Jacobin (politics)|jacobin]]; and that, though a minister of [[Napoleon]], he had no share in the worst parts of the imperial tyranny.
** [[Thomas Babington Macaulay]], ''Napoleon and the Restoration of the Bourbons: The Completed Portion of Macaulay's Projected "History of France from the Restoration of the Bourbons to the Accession of Louis Philippe"'', ed. Joseph Hamburger (1977), p. 63
* You are a thief, a coward, a man without faith. You don't believe in God; you have all your life failed in all your duties, you have deceived, betrayed everyone'' […] ''Look, sir, you are nothing but shit in silk stockings. (''Vous êtes un voleur, un lâche, un homme sans foi. Vous ne croyez pas à Dieu ; vous avez toute votre vie manqué à tous vos devoirs, vous avez trompé, trahi tout le monde […] Tenez, Monsieur, vous n’êtes que de la merde en bas de soie.''[This refers to the fact that Talleyrand always dressed in the old aristocratic fashion with breeches and stocking, while the Revolution and the Empire had led to the generalised use of full-length trousers previously used by the lower classes]
** [[Napoleon]] to Talleyrand, Privy Council of Ministers convened at the Château des Tuileries, January 28, 1809, quoted in a letter of 1834 in the posthumously published ''Mémoires et Correspondance du prince de Talleyrand'' (1891).
* ''Un homme né pour les grands vices et les petites actions''.
* A man born for great vices and small actions.

* It may seem odd to confess, but I never could discover on what grounds Talleyrand's great reputation as a ''Minister'' was built. I never found him a man of business, nor, I must say, able in affairs.
** [[Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington|The Duke of Wellington]], remarks to John Wilson Croker (1826), quoted in L. J. Jennings (ed.), ''The Croker Papers: The Correspondence and Diaries of the Late Right Honourable John Wilson Croker, LL.D., F.R.S., Secretary to the Admiralty from 1809 to 1830, Vol. I'' (1884), p. 334
* He countered insult with a smile, and, when charged with lack of principle, was content to observe that the only sound principle was to have none. His unpopularity, then, is easily intelligible. Nothing alienates people more thoroughly than indifference, unless it be a rasping wit; and when Talleyrand spoke at all, he would always rather lose a friend than a jest.
** [[Charles Whibley]], ''Political Portraits'' (1917), pp. 173-174
* He was, in truth, a finished specimen of the ''homme politique''. He aspired to govern not empires, but rulers; and such being his profession, it is not strange that vices and even crimes were imputed to him by those who lacked his knowledge and humour. But if he disdained to answer his accusers, he never ceased to believe in the loftiness of his patriotism and the grandeur of his policy. ‘Animated by the most devoted love of France,’ thus he wrote at the end of his career, ‘I have always served her conscientiously, and sought for her honestly that which I honestly believed to be most advantageous for her.’
** [[Charles Whibley]], ''Political Portraits'' (1917), p. 174

=== 2010===
*You have the charisma of a damp rag, and the appearance of a low-grade bank clerk. And the question that I want to ask, […] that we're all going to ask, is '''"Who are you?"''' I'd never heard of you. Nobody in [[Europe]] had ever heard of you. I would like to ask you, President, who voted for you, and what mechanism … oh, I know democracy's not popular with you lot, and what mechanism do the people of Europe have to remove you? Is this European democracy? Well, I sense, I sense though that you are competent and capable and dangerous, and I have no doubt in your intention, to be the quiet assassin of European democracy, and of the European nation states. You appear to have a loathing for the very concept of the existence of nation states - perhaps that's because you come from [[Belgium]], which of course is pretty much a non-country. But since you took over, we've seen [[Greece]] reduced to nothing more than a protectorate. Sir, you have no legitimacy in this job at all, and I can say with confidence that I speak on behalf of the majority of British people in saying: We don't know you, we don't want you, and the sooner you're put out to grass, the better.

* As you are well aware, the last time the people of this country were given a say on membership of the European Union was back in 1975. This must have been a factor in your thinking when, in 2007, you gave a “cast-iron guarantee” to hold a referendum if you became Prime Minister. Since that promise, however, your message on the issue has been confusing and misleading. You say the time is not right but refuse to clarify when the time will be right. You believe that leaving would not be in our best interests and an in/out referendum is flawed because it offers a “single choice”. In last week’s [[The Sun (United Kingdom)|Sun]] poll, almost 70 per cent of voters said they would like a referendum. In the same poll, a clear majority said they would like to leave the EU and yet your plans would deny them that opportunity. I believe the British people, along with many of your own backbench MPs, want and deserve a straight in/out choice in a referendum. I propose a public debate between us where we can put our respective cases forward. My challenge to you is an open and honest one and I hope you will afford me, and the people of this country, a proper say on the matter.

For me, it has been 27 years of campaigning and over 20 years here in this parliament. I’m not particularly happy with the agreement we’re being asked to vote on tonight.

Well, the Irish did have a vote and did say no, and were forced to vote again. You’re very good at making people to vote again, but what we’ve proved is the British are too big to bully, thank goodness. So I became an outright opponent of the whole European project. I want Brexit to start a debate across the whole of Europe. '''What do we want from Europe? If we want trade, friendship cooperation, reciprocity, we don’t need a European Commission, we don’t need a European court. We don’t need these institutions and all of this power.'''

* Suddenly, here in America – after November 5 – there’s optimism, there's an upbeat mood, the beginning of a golden age. And it's all because of one totally extraordinary individual.
* [The Establishment] put [[Donald Trump|Donald J.

* This money was given to me so that I would be safe and secure for the rest of my life.

* Across public and economic life, the power of the Government has been brought to bear on tackling ‘inequalities’, in a narrow and specific sense.

* One of the most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me and, knowing that I was [[Jewish]], saying [[Hitler]] was right and 'gas 'em', and that was frequently followed by a 'sssss', you know, kind of imitating the sound of escaping gas.{{Br}}That's my abiding memory of him, and that sort of verbal abuse happened quite consistently over the year that we were together in the same class.

===1981–2022===
* Now all that's left of Hope and Glory is Brexit champion Nigel Farage’s Union Jack socks and the certainty that the Queen is the last person who still knows how to behave in public.
* This is all good news for Farage, who has capitalized on the boredom most Brits feel with the one-story news-cycle and formed his own Brexit Party to charge off the cliff.
** [[Tina Brown]] [https://time.com/5601975/tina-brown-on-brexit/ "How Britain Lost the Plot Over Brexit"], ''Time'' (6 June 2019).
* One of the most stupid adages for politicians to believe is my enemy's enemy is my friend. [[Vladimir Putin|Putin]] closes down the [[Freedom of the press|free press]], jails journalists with impunity and has enriched himself beyond the dreams of [[Imelda Marcos]] and has territorial ambitions. Farage is rapidly becoming the [[Silvio Berlusconi|Berlusconi]] of Britain.

* Nigel Farage is still trying to whip up fear and hatred towards refugees who are fleeing from conflict. It was extremely ill-judged of him to describe himself as a victim.
** [[Yvette Cooper]], response on Farage's denial for being responsible for whipping up hate against immigrants - [http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/nigel-farage-jo-cox-dead-murdered-peston-brexit-eu-referendum-ukip-political-hatred-a7089996.html Nigel Farage says he is a victim of political hatred in response to Jo Cox question] (19 June 2016).
* Another colleague, who teaches the boy, described his publicly professed racist and neo-fascist views; and he cited a particular incident in which Farage was so offensive to a boy in his set, that he had to be removed from the lesson. This master stated his view that this behaviour was precisely why the boy should not be made a prefect. Yet another colleague described how, at a Combined Cadet Force (CCF) camp organised by the college, Farage and others had marched through a quiet Sussex village very late at night shouting Hitler-youth songs.

** Chloe Deakin was then an English teacher at Dulwich College. Farage was made a prefect at the school by then headmaster [[w:David Emms|David Emms]] (to whom the letter was sent) who told Michael Crick of ''Channel 4 News'': "I didn't probe too closely into that naughtiness, but the staff were fed up with his cheekiness and rudeness. They wanted me to expel him, but I saw his potential, made him a prefect, and I was proved right."

* [Published on the Sunday following the [[w:2015 United Kingdom general election|2015 general election]] results] In a typically graceless gesture, he swept out before the speeches had finished on the pretext that another candidate had not played fair, but as far as I can see, neither did Farage, really, ever. For someone who arrived in politics claiming to be a good bloke, a man of the people, Farage led a strangely vicious, backstabbing, angry and unpleasant campaign, finally going so far as to report me to the Kent police for a "blatant" breach of electoral law (what?) after I joked on ''[[w:Have I Got News for You|Have I Got News for You]]'' that I had spent more time in the constituency than he had.<br />The comment supposedly broke the law because it misrepresented his campaign — a claim so ridiculous the police rejected the matter before Ukip had put the phone down (this is also a joke and not to be taken literally). But it was the first hint Farage really had lost it.
** [[Camilla Long]] [https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/on-the-trail-of-the-biggest-joke-of-all-3vv2j3s56n5 "On the trail of the biggest joke of all"], ''The Sunday Times'' (10 May 2015).
** Farage stood as the [[w:UK Independence Party|Ukip]] candidate in [[w:South Thanet (UK Parliament constituency)|South Thanet]]. BBC News reprinted a statement from Kent Police [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32531758 on the incident] Farage reported.
* This is not to suggest that there is really such a thing as Faragism. There is just Powellism warmed up. Farage's gift was to refashion [[Enoch Powell]]'s rather extraterrestrial persona as down-to-earth bluff English blokeishness.<br />Undoubtedly, however, this was a repackaging of old content: Powell’s twin hatreds of immigrants and the EU. Powell visited [[w:Dulwich College|Dulwich College]] in 1982, when Farage was in his final year there. The young man was spellbound. As he later recalled, Powell "dazzled me for once into awestruck silence". A decade later, when the founder of UKIP, [[w:Alan Sked|Alan Sked]], was contesting [[w:1993 Newbury by-election|a byelection in Berkshire]], it was Farage, as a volunteer, who had the privilege of driving Powell to a rally. This was one of Powell’s last public speeches and one of Farage’s first party political acts. Though it would not have seemed so at the time, it feels in retrospect like a neat moment of apostolic succession. Farage, more than anyone else, reanimated Powell’s undead spirit.

===2024===
* Nigel Farage made a terrific speech in Clacton. In four weeks and three days, he had managed to convince more than 4 million people to vote Reform (only five measly seats, but what a triumph) and in the teeth of media hostility, too. Imagine what he can do in four-and-a-half years as a "bloody nuisance" in the Commons. (Who would dare rule out for him the two initials of MP being reversed in 2029?)

===2025===
*Before [[Brexit]] we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with [[European Union]] countries and we could return people. But thanks to Nigel Farage, [[Boris Johnson]] and the Conservatives, we tore up those agreements when we left the European Union, and now we have this problem. I hope when he's on your programme you'll ask him to apologise.

*Nigel is a fiercely independent individual and is extremely good at what we have done so far. He has got messianic qualities. Will those messianic qualities distill into sage leadership? I don't know.
*We [[w:Reform UK|[Reform UK]]] have to change from being a protest party led by the Messiah into being a properly structured party with a frontbench, which we don't have. We have to start behaving as if we are leading and not merely protesting.

=Chapter 129=
'''Ciel''': Again?
'''Mysterious voice''': Oh, it's just you. The fuss had me curious. Really, now! You can't go drenched when it's this cold out. You'll catch a death of cold! But there's no need to worry anymore. I'll never leave your side again. I've come home.
''(coming down the grand staircase is someone who looks just like Ciel, but with no eyepatch)''
'''Ciel''': This can't be real!
'''Baldroy, Mey-Rin and Finny''': The-There are...two young masters?!
'''Mysterious boy''': "It can't be real?" But it is real. I'm here.
'''Finny''': I knew it! I knew something wasn't right when he came home! That's not the young master! He's an imposter!
'''Mysterious boy''': Heh. An imposter? What an odd thing to say. The head of the Phantomhive household, Lord Ciel Phantomhive, is I.

=S1 E1 His Butler, Able=
'''Sebastian:''' Think carefully. Should you reject the faith, even as once the gates of paradise will forever be out of your reach.
'''Ciel:''' Do you think, one who was among the faithful, would ever go so far to summon someone like you?
'''Sebastian:''' *evil chuckle* I'll ask but once more. Do you wish to form a contract with me?
'''Ciel:''' I do. Now stop asking these tedious questions and let me know if we have a deal.
(Theme song plays)
(setting changes to Ciel's mansion)
'''Sebastian:''' Master, it is time for you to wake up. For breakfast today, we have a lightly poached salmon accompanied by a delicate mint salad. I can also offer toast, scones, or pan decompania. Which dish would you care for this morning?
'''Ciel:''' A scone.
'''Sebastian:''' Today, you have a meeting with Mr. Hughes, the authority on the history of the Roman Empire. And this evening, Mr. Domiano of the Poseidon company will be paying you a visit.
'''Ciel:''' Oh. Is that the man I have in charge of the stuffed animals in my factory in India?
'''Sebastian:''' Yes. I'm told he's Italian. We will of course, offer him all the hospitality the estate can provide.
'''Ciel:''' I know this smell. Is this tea Earl Grey?
'''Sebastian:''' Yes. From Jackson's of Pickinilly. I shall wait for you at dining table, Master.
(''Ciel throws dart at Sebastian, and he catches it with his index and middle finger'')
'''Sebastian:''' Well throw, my Lord. Even so, let's save the games for later.
'''Ciel:''' Yes. I suppose your right Sebastian.
'''Ciel''' (''narrating''): My butler is an able man.
(''Ciel throws dart at Finny'')
'''Finny:''' Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oooowww! What was that for Master? What did I do?
'''Ciel:''' Nothing. I don't need to justify my actions.
'''Finny:''' (''gasp'')
'''Sebastian:''' There you are. (''to Finny'') Have you finished weeding the courtyard, Finny?
'''Finny:''' Uh..
'''Sebastian:''' Mey Rin, have you washed all the bedding?
'''Mey Rin:''' Oh. Um...Well...
'''Sebastian:''' Bardroy, should you be preparing for tonight's dinner?
'''Bardroy:''' Heh..
'''Sebastian:''' Tanaka... well I suppose you're alright as you are.
'''Tanaka:''' He He He
'''Sebastian:''' Now all of you, we have no time for thumb twiddling this morning. '''''SO GET TO WORK!!'''''
''the three servants run out of the room''
'''Sebastian:''' Simply hopeless.
''Ciel walks up stairs. He stops and looks at the picture of his mother and father''
'''Sebastian:''' The silver is polished with spotless shine. The table cloth is crisp, clean and wrinkle free. There is not a single bruised blossom among Master's favorite white roses. And finally, the highest quality ingredients have been gathered to prepare a first rate dinner. The table is perfection. This will be an elegant Phantomhive welcome.
''The Study Bell rings''.
'''Sebastian:''' Still so much to do, and he calls me now.
'''Bardroy:''' A guest is coming. Alright, then this is our chance. Sebastian looks down on us all the time. Today will be so perfect he won't even know hit him. (''makes surprised face'') Yeah, that's what he's gonna say!
(''Mey Rin and Finny make the surprised face.'')
'''Bardroy:''' That's for him to say, not you.
'''Mey Rin:''' Ooh, that's a good idea!
'''Finny:''' Right! We have to stop relying on Sebastian for everything.
'''Bardroy:''' It's settled then. We got a plan of attack.
'''Mey Rin, Bardroy, and Finny:''' Lets get to it!
'''Tanaka:''' He He He
'''Ciel:''' I'm a bit hungry. I'd like something sweet to eat.
'''Sebastian:''' You shouldn't eat now, Master. You don't want to spoil your appetite for dinner with your guest this evening.
'''Ciel:''' I don't care about that. Make me a parfait.
'''Sebastian:''' I am sorry, Sir.
'''Ciel:''' Fine then. About the portrait in the hallway.
'''Sebastian:''' Yes?
'''Ciel:''' Take it down.
'''Sebastian:''' (''He gasp'')
'''Ciel:''' I am Ciel Phantomhive. Son of Vincent. And I am head of the house now.
'''Sebastian:''' Consider it done, my Lord.
'''Sebastian:''' Now. How exactly (''points at a dead garden'') did this (''points at the broken dishes'') happen (''points at a burned kitchen'')?
'''Finny:''' I thought things would go faster if I used extra strength weed killer on the garden.
'''Mey Rin:''' I was trying to reach the tea set we use for guests, but I tripped and the cabinet fell.
'''Bardroy:''' There was a lot of meat to be cooked for dinner, and it was going to take a long time, so uh I used my flamethrower.
'''Mey Rin and Finny:''' OH WE'RE SO SORRY WE DIDN'T MEAN TO!!
'''Sebastian''' (''thinks''): Our guest will arrive just after six. (''looks at pocket watch'') At most we have two hours left. Not enough time to replace the tea set, or find premium meats. What should I do? (''says'') Calm down, all of you. Perhaps you should try taking a page out of Tanaka's book and start behaving like.. (''looks at Tanaka'') Everyone, listen closely and do exactly as I say. Understand? We must be quick about this. *picks up Tanaka's tea cup* We might save this night yet.
''Wagon pulls in''.
'''Damiano:''' *gasp* How impressive.
''Shows Japanese style garden''.
'''Servants:''' Hello. Welcome, Sir.
'''Sebastian:''' This is called a stone garden. It is a traditional feature in Japan.
'''Damiano:''' Ah, pradiloso! Wonderful! Truly an elegant garden!
'''Sebastian:''' We thought it appropriate to serve dinner alfresco this evening. Allow me to escort you inside, until the meal is ready.
'''Damiano:''' Hahaha. I should-a expected this from a Phantomhive. I cannot wait to see what else is in store.
''The door closes''
'''Bardroy:''' wipes forehead Whoo, we actually did it.
'''Finny:''' Who woulda thought a dozen bags of gravel could turn into an amazing garden?
'''Sebastian:''' Naturally, we were able to handle this. We serve the Phantomhive family after all. There is still work to be done. Let's take care of it while the Master is talking business with his guest. Look sharp now.
'''Mey Rin, Bardroy and Finny:''' Right!
'''Damiano:''' The progress we've been making with the East India factory is quite astonishing. We already have the making of a top-notch staff.
'''Ciel:''' Bewitched by the eyes of the dead. What terrible luck. It appears I lose a turn, remember?
'''Damiano:''' Hm. Right now, is the perfect time. We should begin expanding the company and building a strong labor-
'''Ciel:''' Go on, it's your turn.
'''Damiano:''' Oh. Yes. I just-a spin this then. Ok there. Five spaces. Now, what I wanted to ask you. But perhaps you could contribute another twelve-thousand pounds to support our expansion? I believe it would be quite a profitable venture for you my Lord. And I would consider it an honor to help expand the Funtom company-
'''Ciel:''' Lose a leg in the Enchanted Forest.
'''Damiano:''' Huh?
'''Ciel:''' And it's your turn again. I lost a turn, remember?
'''Damiano:''' Oh. I see. Right. I move six.
'''Ciel:''' You don't. That's three.
'''Damiano:''' What? But-
'''Ciel:''' You lost a leg, if you recall. Now you only move half the number of spaces.
'''Damiano:''' Oh my. Hahaha. This is a gruesome board game, isn't it? Is there no way for me to restore my leg then?
'''Ciel:''' I'm afraid once something is truly lost Sir, that one could never get it back again.
'''Damiano:''' ''gasp''
'''Ciel:''' Your body is burnt by raging flames.
'''Daminao:''' ''gasp''
'''Sebastian:''' How's it going?
'''Bardroy:''' I'm doing it like you said to. This really what you want?
'''Sebastian:''' Yes. That looks excellent.
'''Mey Rin:''' Sebastian! Found 'em! Hahaha! Whaa!! *Mey Rin trips, losing her grip on the boxes*
(''Sebastian catches all the boxes and Mey Rin'')
'''Sebastian:''' Oh, honestly.
'''Mey Rin:''' *blush*
'''Sebastian:''' How many times have I told you not to run inside the manor Mey Rin?
'''Mey Rin:''' ''backs away'' Oh! I'm so sorry Sir! My glasses cracked and I can't see a thing!
'''Sebastian:''' These are the last items we needed for dinner. Splendid work everyone. But now I believe you can leave the rest of it to me and relax for a bit. But I need you to do well, VERY WELL, during dinner tonight.
'''Bardroy:''' He said it twice.
'''Finny:''' Ooh, that's serious.
'''Sebastian:''' Pardon the interruption, but dinner is served.
'''Damiano:''' Oh. Dining out in the exquisite stone garden. Shall we go my Lord?
'''Ciel:''' Very well. We'll finish the game later.
'''Daminao:''' Oh. Is there any real need to finish it? It's-a obvious I'm-a going to lose.
'''Ciel:''' I'm not in the habit of abandoning a game half-way through.
'''Daminao:''' ''mumbles'' How childish.
''Ciel looks at him.''
'''Damiano:''' I-I-I mean sometimes it takes a child's eyes to see what's really important. It's a true gift. Maybe that's what made the Phantomhive's dinations for most toy makers. It's certainly impresses me.
'''Sebastian:''' On tonight's menu is a dish of finely sliced raw beef Danbury courtesy of our chef Bardroy.
'''Damiano:''' A pile of raw beef. And this is dinner?
'''Sebastian:''' Yes. But surely you have heard of it. This good Sir is a traditional Japanese delicacy. A dish offered as a sign of gratitude to someone who has accomplished important work. That is the wonder of Dongpoi!
'''Damiano:''' Oh Dongpoi!
'''Sebastian:''' This is a token from our Master. To show his thanks for all your hard work on the company's behalf. He wanted you to know that its much appreciated.
'''Finny''' (whispers): Now that's our Sebastian for you.
'''Bardroy''' (whispers): He saved the day.
'''Tanaka''' (whispers): Hohoho.
'''Damiano:''' Excellent! What an inspired idea! The legendary Phantomhive hospitality in action.
'''Sebastian:''' The vintage we are pouring tonight was specially selected to compliment the flavor of Soy Sauce. Mey Rin.
'''Mey Rin:''' …
'''Sebastian:''' Now Mey Rin.
'''Mey Rin:''' Oh. Yes Sir.
'''Sebastian:''' (''whispers moves in, close to Mey Rin's ear'') Why are you just standing there? Pour the man a glass of wine.
'''Mey Rin:''' (''blush'') O-of course. Yes Sir.
Bardroy (whispers): Ey.
Finny (whispers): What?
Bardroy (whispers): Is it just me, or is Mey Rin acting a little strange?
Mey Rin: Sebastian's watching me. I can't take it. Don't look at me that way.
*Mey Rin spills the wine on the tablecloth. *
Finny (whispers): Mey Rin, stop it! Can't you see your spilling the wine!?
*Sebastian pulls the tablecloth, not letting a single drop spill onto the ground*
Damiano: Oh. Huh? Where did the table-a cloth go?
Ciel: A speck of dirt. Most unsightly. I had the cloth removed so it wouldn't distract us. Think nothing of it.
Sebastian: Please except my apology Sir. Do continue. Enjoy the meal at your leisure.
Daminao: Oh. Oh my. Hahaha! Lord Phantomhive, once again you have truly impressed me. What an able butler you have acquired.
Ciel: Pay him no mind. He merely acted as befits one of my servants.
Sebastian: My Master is quite correct about that. Naturally, you see I am simply one hell of a butler.
Damiano: That was a thoroughly enjoyable dinner, my Lord. Now then, about the contract.
Ciel: Before we discuss that, we must finish the game.
Damiano: Uh... yes of course. I do have a pressing appointment. Perhaps another ti-
Ciel: Children can be very demanding about their games. Surely you wouldn't want to be to get upset.
Damiano: No. No of course not. Perhaps you would permit me to use your telephone?
(''Sebastian bumps into Damiano as he steps out of the room.'')
'''Sebastian:''' I've brought some tea for you and my Lord.
'''Damiano:''' I'll be right back.
(''Ciel gives his tea an angry look.'')
'''Ciel:''' What is this? It smells terribly weak.
'''Sebastian:''' Out of our consideration for our guest, I brought some Italian tea.
'''Ciel:''' Italian?
'''Sebastian:''' Italians drink more coffee than tea, Sir. So, finding high quality Italian tea can be difficult. This particular selection is not to your liking Master?
'''Ciel:''' No. It is not. I don't like it at all.
'''Sebastian:''' I'll see to the dessert preparations.
'''Ciel:''' Good. We must show him every available hospitality. The Phantomhive family is known for its courtesy.
'''Sebastian:''' Yes, my young Lord.
'''Daminao:''' I'm-a tired of babysitting this child Earl. Yes. I already sold off the factory. Now all that's left is to pocket the extra cash. I'm trying to squeeze more out of the brat right now. Employees? Who cares about them. *he gasp* Ah, never mind. The rest of the formalities are for you to deal with. No. It'll be easy. Please, he's only a child.
''(As Damiano walks up the stairs, he stops and looks at the picture of Ciel's mother and Father. He sees a freaky ghost thing that scares him on Vincent's face (Vincent is Ciel's dad.) The ghost thing looks at him, and he wipes the sweat off his face. He looks at the picture again, and the ghost thing is not there.)''
'''Damiano:''' Impossible. I'm-a seeing things.
(''Ciel's voice echoes in his mind saying, Bewitched by the eyes of the dead.'')
'''Damiano:''' ''gasp'' No. That's ridiculous.
''Damiano searches through the mansion trying to find the room where he was before.''
'''Damiano:''' Oh. Not here either. Or here. This manor is like a giant maze. I can't even find the drawing room.
''Ciel's voice echoes once again. Bewitched by the eyes of the dead.''
''Damiano hears a floorboard creak. He sees a ghostly figure walking towards him. He runs away as fast as he can''.
'''Damiano:''' S-stay away from me!
'''Finny:''' That's odd. Was that our guest I heard just now?
'''Bardroy''': Ey! We need to move this! Or Sebastian will start yelling again!
'''Finny:''' Right!
'''Mey Rin:''' Oooh! How embarrassing! I really messed up this time! Oh, at least I was able to get close to Sebastian. Oh, what a shameful day throe! What kind of lecherous maid am I!?
*Damiano is running as fast as he can when he hears Ciel's voice echo once again saying, You lose one turn. He falls and injured his right leg.*
Mey Rin: Oh! Sir! Are you alright!? *gasp* His right leg. It's twisted round! What happened to it!?
Bardroy: Hey! What's wrong?
Mey Rin: Our guest! Somethings happened!
*Damiano sees the ghostly figure once again, and he hears Ciel's voice say, And now you lose one leg in the enchanted forest. *
Damiano: *gasp*
*He crawls away. *
Mey Rin: Sir? Um, Sir? Come back?
*As he is crawling, he bumps into Sebastian*
Sebastian: Surely you aren't leaving the manor yet, Sir?
Damiano: Ah!
Sebastian: We haven't given you the full Phantomhive treatment yet. We still have to serve dessert.
*Damiano crawls away from Sebastian*
Sebastian: You've lost a leg, remember? Now you can only move half the number of spaces. So why not just relax a bit and make yourself at home?
*Damiano hides in a room and closes the door*
Damiano: Damn. It's too dark.
*He hears Sebastian's footsteps*
Damiano: Is this a cupboard?
*He crawls inside. Sebastian comes through the door. *
Damiano: Damn. These are really tight quarters. *squish* What's this? *sniff* Smells like sugar.
Sebastian: What an impatient guest we have. You couldn't even restrain yourself until dessert was out of the oven.
Damiano: The-the oven!? Open up! Please, open-a the door!
Sebastian: Hm. Italians aren't familiar with our customs. There is plum pudding. Mincemeat pie. There are many traditional desserts in England that make use of meat. I find them all quite tasty.
*Ciel's voice echoes again saying, Your body is burnt by raging flames.*
Damiano: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Bardroy: What was that? Someone screamed.
Finny: Don't know. Oh. Hi Sebastian.
Sebastian: Thank you for your hard work today. As a reward, how would you like some Lemon Meringue Pie? The sugar will give you energy.
Finny and Bardroy: Huh? God bless you Sebastian! Thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you!
Sebastian: Oh, yes. And Bard. A workman will be coming by in the morning. When he arrives, kindly let him know that we need our oven thoroughly cleaned.
Bardroy: Huh? The oven?
Sebastian: Mr. Damiano. I hope you enjoyed your stay. And the Phantomhive family's hospitality. All the way down to your bones.
Damiano: MAMA MIA!!!!!
Ciel: *evil chuckle* What an unattractive scream. He sounds almost like a pig taken off to slaughter. Hm. What presumption. First, he sells the East Indian factory without telling me. And then he dares to ask for more money. Did he think to retain my trust...I'm afraid once something is truly lost, one can never get it back again.
Sebastian: It would appear we'll be needing to hang new wallpaper as well.
*Mirage of young Ciel and his family appear*
Young Ciel: *laughter* Mama. Papa.
*Mirage disappears as Sebastian snaps his fingers*
Sebastian: The new head of the Phantomhive Estate. Huh.
==S1 E2 His Butler, Strongest [1.2]==
:'''Baldroy''': Bloody hell, this wire is done for.
:'''Mey-Rin''': Oh. Not the rats again
:'''Baldroy''': This is getting ridiculous. I mean I heard they'd been plagued in London lately, but I never expected them to be such a problem this far out the city
:'''Rat''': [Squeaks]
:'''All''': Scream.
: Finnian grabs statue and swings*
:'''Finnian''': Now I've got you.
:'''All''': Scream<br/>
:'''Finnian''': Looks like it got away
:'''Baldroy''': What are you laughing for? Are you trying to kill us too you idiot
:'''Finnian''': Looks there's another one.
:'''Baldroy''': That's it.
:'''Arthur Randall''': Quite the commotion going on out there. It seems you are experiencing a rat problem as well.
:'''Man 2:''' Speaking of which how long will you let the vermin run wild? Filthy monsters. Someone really ought to take care of them. Don't you think?
:'''Lau:''' And someone will. He's just waiting for the opportune moment
:'''Madam Red:''' Indeed. He prefers to settle things with one blow. Will you pass on this turn too?
:'''Ciel''': I'll pass. It's my policy not to shoot if I know that I'll miss.
:'''Arthur Randall''': That's all very well but when will you handle the problem?
:'''Ciel''': Any time you like. The rats will soon come looking for their forbidden cheese and I hold the key to the store house...Even so locating the nest and eliminating the vermin promises to be a tedious task. You should concentrate on preparing me a suitable reward
:'''Arthur Randall''': You're a vulture.
:'''Ciel''': Sir Randall! I'd be careful how you smear my family name.
:'''Azzurro Vanel:''' Ha! You're in trouble now Randall. What next Lord Phantomhive?
:'''Ciel''': It's time to put an end to this worthless game. Don't you think? How soon can you secure the payment?
:''Arthur''': Tonight. I'll have it by then.
:'''Ciel''': Then I'll send a carriage for you later. When can even prepare some light entertainment for you. Does that sound good?
:'''Man 2''': You pass your turn twice and now you are after them all in one go?
:'''Ciel:''' Naturally.
:'''Arthur:''' Careful your greed will undo you<br/>
:'''Ciel:''' Am I undone?

* '''Ciel''': Again?
* '''Mysterious voice''': Oh, it's just you. The fuss had me curious. Really, now! You can't go drenched when it's this cold out. You'll catch a death of cold! But there's no need to worry anymore. I'll never leave your side again. I've come home.
* ''(coming down the grand staircase is someone who looks just like Ciel, but with no eyepatch)''
* '''Ciel''': This can't be real!
* '''Baldroy, Mey-Rin and Finny''': The-There are...two young masters?!
* '''Mysterious boy''': "It can't be real?" But it is real. I'm here.
* '''Finny''': I knew it! I knew something wasn't right when he came home! That's not the young master! He's an imposter!
* '''Mysterious boy''': Heh. An imposter? What an odd thing to say. The head of the Phantomhive household, Lord Ciel Phantomhive, is I.

=S1 E1 His Butler, Able=
'''Sebastian:''' Think carefully. Should you reject the faith, even as once the gates of paradise will forever be out of your reach.
'''Ciel:''' Do you think, one who was among the faithful, would ever go so far to summon someone like you?
'''Sebastian:''' *evil chuckle* I'll ask but once more. Do you wish to form a contract with me?
'''Ciel:''' I do. Now stop asking these tedious questions and let me know if we have a deal.
(Theme song plays)
(setting changes to Ciel's mansion)
'''Sebastian:''' Master, it is time for you to wake up. For breakfast today, we have a lightly poached salmon accompanied by a delicate mint salad. I can also offer toast, scones, or pan decompania. Which dish would you care for this morning?
'''Ciel:''' A scone.
'''Sebastian:''' Today, you have a meeting with Mr. Hughes, the authority on the history of the Roman Empire. And this evening, Mr. Domiano of the Poseidon company will be paying you a visit.
'''Ciel:''' Oh. Is that the man I have in charge of the stuffed animals in my factory in India?
'''Sebastian:''' Yes. I'm told he's Italian. We will of course, offer him all the hospitality the estate can provide.
'''Ciel:''' I know this smell. Is this tea Earl Grey?
'''Sebastian:''' Yes. From Jackson's of Pickinilly. I shall wait for you at dining table, Master.
(''Ciel throws dart at Sebastian, and he catches it with his index and middle finger'')
'''Sebastian:''' Well throw, my Lord. Even so, let's save the games for later.
'''Ciel:''' Yes. I suppose your right Sebastian.
'''Ciel''' (''narrating''): My butler is an able man.
(''Ciel throws dart at Finny'')
'''Finny:''' Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oooowww! What was that for Master? What did I do?
'''Ciel:''' Nothing. I don't need to justify my actions.
'''Finny:''' (''gasp'')
'''Sebastian:''' There you are. (''to Finny'') Have you finished weeding the courtyard, Finny?
'''Finny:''' Uh..
'''Sebastian:''' Mey Rin, have you washed all the bedding?
'''Mey Rin:''' Oh. Um...Well...
'''Sebastian:''' Bardroy, should you be preparing for tonight's dinner?
'''Bardroy:''' Heh..
'''Sebastian:''' Tanaka... well I suppose you're alright as you are.
'''Tanaka:''' He He He
'''Sebastian:''' Now all of you, we have no time for thumb twiddling this morning. '''''SO GET TO WORK!!'''''
''the three servants run out of the room''
'''Sebastian:''' Simply hopeless.
''Ciel walks up stairs. He stops and looks at the picture of his mother and father''
'''Sebastian:''' The silver is polished with spotless shine. The table cloth is crisp, clean and wrinkle free. There is not a single bruised blossom among Master's favorite white roses. And finally, the highest quality ingredients have been gathered to prepare a first rate dinner. The table is perfection. This will be an elegant Phantomhive welcome.
''The Study Bell rings''.
'''Sebastian:''' Still so much to do, and he calls me now.
'''Bardroy:''' A guest is coming. Alright, then this is our chance. Sebastian looks down on us all the time. Today will be so perfect he won't even know hit him. (''makes surprised face'') Yeah, that's what he's gonna say!
(''Mey Rin and Finny make the surprised face.'')
'''Bardroy:''' That's for him to say, not you.
'''Mey Rin:''' Ooh, that's a good idea!
'''Finny:''' Right! We have to stop relying on Sebastian for everything.
'''Bardroy:''' It's settled then. We got a plan of attack.
'''Mey Rin, Bardroy, and Finny:''' Lets get to it!
'''Tanaka:''' He He He
'''Ciel:''' I'm a bit hungry. I'd like something sweet to eat.
'''Sebastian:''' You shouldn't eat now, Master. You don't want to spoil your appetite for dinner with your guest this evening.
'''Ciel:''' I don't care about that. Make me a parfait.
'''Sebastian:''' I am sorry, Sir.
'''Ciel:''' Fine then. About the portrait in the hallway.
'''Sebastian:''' Yes?
'''Ciel:''' Take it down.
'''Sebastian:''' (''He gasp'')
'''Ciel:''' I am Ciel Phantomhive. Son of Vincent. And I am head of the house now.
'''Sebastian:''' Consider it done, my Lord.
'''Sebastian:''' Now. How exactly (''points at a dead garden'') did this (''points at the broken dishes'') happen (''points at a burned kitchen'')?
'''Finny:''' I thought things would go faster if I used extra strength weed killer on the garden.
'''Mey Rin:''' I was trying to reach the tea set we use for guests, but I tripped and the cabinet fell.
'''Bardroy:''' There was a lot of meat to be cooked for dinner, and it was going to take a long time, so uh I used my flamethrower.
'''Mey Rin and Finny:''' OH WE'RE SO SORRY WE DIDN'T MEAN TO!!
'''Sebastian''' (''thinks''): Our guest will arrive just after six. (''looks at pocket watch'') At most we have two hours left. Not enough time to replace the tea set, or find premium meats. What should I do? (''says'') Calm down, all of you. Perhaps you should try taking a page out of Tanaka's book and start behaving like.. (''looks at Tanaka'') Everyone, listen closely and do exactly as I say. Understand? We must be quick about this. *picks up Tanaka's tea cup* We might save this night yet.
''Wagon pulls in''.
'''Damiano:''' *gasp* How impressive.
''Shows Japanese style garden''.
'''Servants:''' Hello. Welcome, Sir.
'''Sebastian:''' This is called a stone garden. It is a traditional feature in Japan.
'''Damiano:''' Ah, pradiloso! Wonderful! Truly an elegant garden!
'''Sebastian:''' We thought it appropriate to serve dinner alfresco this evening. Allow me to escort you inside, until the meal is ready.
'''Damiano:''' Hahaha. I should-a expected this from a Phantomhive. I cannot wait to see what else is in store.
''The door closes''
'''Bardroy:''' wipes forehead Whoo, we actually did it.
'''Finny:''' Who woulda thought a dozen bags of gravel could turn into an amazing garden?
'''Sebastian:''' Naturally, we were able to handle this. We serve the Phantomhive family after all. There is still work to be done. Let's take care of it while the Master is talking business with his guest. Look sharp now.
'''Mey Rin, Bardroy and Finny:''' Right!
'''Damiano:''' The progress we've been making with the East India factory is quite astonishing. We already have the making of a top-notch staff.
'''Ciel:''' Bewitched by the eyes of the dead. What terrible luck. It appears I lose a turn, remember?
'''Damiano:''' Hm. Right now, is the perfect time. We should begin expanding the company and building a strong labor-
'''Ciel:''' Go on, it's your turn.
'''Damiano:''' Oh. Yes. I just-a spin this then. Ok there. Five spaces. Now, what I wanted to ask you. But perhaps you could contribute another twelve-thousand pounds to support our expansion? I believe it would be quite a profitable venture for you my Lord. And I would consider it an honor to help expand the Funtom company-
'''Ciel:''' Lose a leg in the Enchanted Forest.
'''Damiano:''' Huh?
'''Ciel:''' And it's your turn again. I lost a turn, remember?
'''Damiano:''' Oh. I see. Right. I move six.
'''Ciel:''' You don't. That's three.
'''Damiano:''' What? But-
'''Ciel:''' You lost a leg, if you recall. Now you only move half the number of spaces.
'''Damiano:''' Oh my. Hahaha. This is a gruesome board game, isn't it? Is there no way for me to restore my leg then?
'''Ciel:''' I'm afraid once something is truly lost Sir, that one could never get it back again.
'''Damiano:''' ''gasp''
'''Ciel:''' Your body is burnt by raging flames.
'''Daminao:''' ''gasp''

'''Damiano:''' S-stay away from me!
'''Finny:''' That's odd. Was that our guest I heard just now?
'''Bardroy''': Ey! We need to move this! Or Sebastian will start yelling again!
'''Finny:''' Right!
'''Mey Rin:''' Oooh! How embarrassing! I really messed up this time! Oh, at least I was able to get close to Sebastian. Oh, what a shameful day throe! What kind of lecherous maid am I!?
*Damiano is running as fast as he can when he hears Ciel's voice echo once again saying, You lose one turn. He falls and injured his right leg.*
Mey Rin: Oh! Sir! Are you alright!? *gasp* His right leg. It's twisted round! What happened to it!?
Bardroy: Hey! What's wrong?
Mey Rin: Our guest! Somethings happened!
*Damiano sees the ghostly figure once again, and he hears Ciel's voice say, And now you lose one leg in the enchanted forest. *
Damiano: *gasp*
*He crawls away. *
Mey Rin: Sir? Um, Sir? Come back?
*As he is crawling, he bumps into Sebastian*
Sebastian: Surely you aren't leaving the manor yet, Sir?
Damiano: Ah!
Sebastian: We haven't given you the full Phantomhive treatment yet. We still have to serve dessert.
*Damiano crawls away from Sebastian*
Sebastian: You've lost a leg, remember? Now you can only move half the number of spaces. So why not just relax a bit and make yourself at home?
*Damiano hides in a room and closes the door*
Damiano: Damn. It's too dark.
*He hears Sebastian's footsteps*
Damiano: Is this a cupboard?
*He crawls inside. Sebastian comes through the door. *
Damiano: Damn. These are really tight quarters. *squish* What's this? *sniff* Smells like sugar.
Sebastian: What an impatient guest we have. You couldn't even restrain yourself until dessert was out of the oven.
Damiano: The-the oven!? Open up! Please, open-a the door!
Sebastian: Hm. Italians aren't familiar with our customs. There is plum pudding. Mincemeat pie. There are many traditional desserts in England that make use of meat. I find them all quite tasty.
*Ciel's voice echoes again saying, Your body is burnt by raging flames.*
Damiano: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Bardroy: What was that? Someone screamed.
Finny: Don't know. Oh. Hi Sebastian.
Sebastian: Thank you for your hard work today. As a reward, how would you like some Lemon Meringue Pie? The sugar will give you energy.
Finny and Bardroy: Huh? God bless you Sebastian! Thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you!
Sebastian: Oh, yes. And Bard. A workman will be coming by in the morning. When he arrives, kindly let him know that we need our oven thoroughly cleaned.
Bardroy: Huh? The oven?
Sebastian: Mr. Damiano. I hope you enjoyed your stay. And the Phantomhive family's hospitality. All the way down to your bones.
Damiano: MAMA MIA!!!!!
Ciel: *evil chuckle* What an unattractive scream. He sounds almost like a pig taken off to slaughter. Hm. What presumption. First, he sells the East Indian factory without telling me. And then he dares to ask for more money. Did he think to retain my trust...I'm afraid once something is truly lost, one can never get it back again.
Sebastian: It would appear we'll be needing to hang new wallpaper as well.
*Mirage of young Ciel and his family appear*
Young Ciel: *laughter* Mama. Papa.
*Mirage disappears as Sebastian snaps his fingers*
Sebastian: The new head of the Phantomhive Estate. Huh.

=Chapter 129=
:'''Ciel''': Again?
:'''Mysterious voice''': Oh, it's just you. The fuss had me curious. Really, now! You can't go drenched when it's this cold out. You'll catch a death of cold! But there's no need to worry anymore. I'll never leave your side again. I've come home.
:''(coming down the grand staircase is someone who looks just like Ciel, but with no eyepatch)''
:'''Ciel''': This can't be real!
:'''Baldroy, Mey-Rin and Finny''': The-There are...two young masters?!
:'''Mysterious boy''': "It can't be real?" But it is real. I'm here.
:'''Finny''': I knew it! I knew something wasn't right when he came home! That's not the young master! He's an imposter!
:'''Mysterious boy''': Heh. An imposter? What an odd thing to say. The head of the Phantomhive household, Lord Ciel Phantomhive, is I.
==English Cast==
==Season one==
=S1 E1 His Butler, Able=
'''Sebastian:''' Think carefully. Should you reject the faith, even as once the gates of paradise will forever be out of your reach.
'''Ciel:''' Do you think, one who was among the faithful, would ever go so far to summon someone like you?
'''Sebastian:''' *evil chuckle* I'll ask but once more. Do you wish to form a contract with me?
'''Ciel:''' I do. Now stop asking these tedious questions and let me know if we have a deal.
(Theme song plays)
(setting changes to Ciel's mansion)
'''Sebastian:''' Master, it is time for you to wake up. For breakfast today, we have a lightly poached salmon accompanied by a delicate mint salad. I can also offer toast, scones, or pan decompania. Which dish would you care for this morning?
'''Ciel:''' A scone.
'''Sebastian:''' Today, you have a meeting with Mr. Hughes, the authority on the history of the Roman Empire. And this evening, Mr. Domiano of the Poseidon company will be paying you a visit.
'''Ciel:''' Oh. Is that the man I have in charge of the stuffed animals in my factory in India?
'''Sebastian:''' Yes. I'm told he's Italian. We will of course, offer him all the hospitality the estate can provide.
'''Ciel:''' I know this smell. Is this tea Earl Grey?
'''Sebastian:''' Yes. From Jackson's of Pickinilly. I shall wait for you at dining table, Master.
(''Ciel throws dart at Sebastian, and he catches it with his index and middle finger'')
'''Sebastian:''' Well throw, my Lord. Even so, let's save the games for later.
'''Ciel:''' Yes. I suppose your right Sebastian.
'''Ciel''' (''narrating''): My butler is an able man.
(''Ciel throws dart at Finny'')
'''Finny:''' Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oooowww! What was that for Master? What did I do?
'''Ciel:''' Nothing. I don't need to justify my actions.
'''Finny:''' (''gasp'')
'''Sebastian:''' There you are. (''to Finny'') Have you finished weeding the courtyard, Finny?
'''Finny:''' Uh..
'''Sebastian:''' Mey Rin, have you washed all the bedding?
'''Mey Rin:''' Oh. Um...Well...
'''Sebastian:''' Bardroy, should you be preparing for tonight's dinner?
'''Bardroy:''' Heh..
'''Sebastian:''' Tanaka... well I suppose you're alright as you are.
'''Tanaka:''' He He He
'''Sebastian:''' Now all of you, we have no time for thumb twiddling this morning. '''''SO GET TO WORK!!'''''
''the three servants run out of the room''
'''Sebastian:''' Simply hopeless.
''Ciel walks up stairs. He stops and looks at the picture of his mother and father''
'''Sebastian:''' The silver is polished with spotless shine. The table cloth is crisp, clean and wrinkle free. There is not a single bruised blossom among Master's favorite white roses. And finally, the highest quality ingredients have been gathered to prepare a first rate dinner. The table is perfection. This will be an elegant Phantomhive welcome.
''The Study Bell rings''.
'''Sebastian:''' Still so much to do, and he calls me now.
'''Bardroy:''' A guest is coming. Alright, then this is our chance. Sebastian looks down on us all the time. Today will be so perfect he won't even know hit him. (''makes surprised face'') Yeah, that's what he's gonna say!
(''Mey Rin and Finny make the surprised face.'')
'''Bardroy:''' That's for him to say, not you.
'''Mey Rin:''' Ooh, that's a good idea!
'''Finny:''' Right! We have to stop relying on Sebastian for everything.
'''Bardroy:''' It's settled then. We got a plan of attack.
'''Mey Rin, Bardroy, and Finny:''' Lets get to it!
'''Tanaka:''' He He He
'''Ciel:''' I'm a bit hungry. I'd like something sweet to eat.
'''Sebastian:''' You shouldn't eat now, Master. You don't want to spoil your appetite for dinner with your guest this evening.
'''Ciel:''' I don't care about that. Make me a parfait.
'''Sebastian:''' I am sorry, Sir.
'''Ciel:''' Fine then. About the portrait in the hallway.
'''Sebastian:''' Yes?
'''Ciel:''' Take it down.
'''Sebastian:''' (''He gasp'')
'''Ciel:''' I am Ciel Phantomhive. Son of Vincent. And I am head of the house now.
'''Sebastian:''' Consider it done, my Lord.
'''Sebastian:''' Now. How exactly (''points at a dead garden'') did this (''points at the broken dishes'') happen (''points at a burned kitchen'')?
'''Finny:''' I thought things would go faster if I used extra strength weed killer on the garden.
'''Mey Rin:''' I was trying to reach the tea set we use for guests, but I tripped and the cabinet fell.
'''Bardroy:''' There was a lot of meat to be cooked for dinner, and it was going to take a long time, so uh I used my flamethrower.
'''Mey Rin and Finny:''' OH WE'RE SO SORRY WE DIDN'T MEAN TO!!
'''Sebastian''' (''thinks''): Our guest will arrive just after six. (''looks at pocket watch'') At most we have two hours left. Not enough time to replace the tea set, or find premium meats. What should I do? (''says'') Calm down, all of you. Perhaps you should try taking a page out of Tanaka's book and start behaving like.. (''looks at Tanaka'') Everyone, listen closely and do exactly as I say. Understand? We must be quick about this. *picks up Tanaka's tea cup* We might save this night yet.
''Wagon pulls in''.
'''Damiano:''' *gasp* How impressive.
''Shows Japanese style garden''.
'''Servants:''' Hello. Welcome, Sir.
'''Sebastian:''' This is called a stone garden. It is a traditional feature in Japan.
'''Damiano:''' Ah, pradiloso! Wonderful! Truly an elegant garden!
'''Sebastian:''' We thought it appropriate to serve dinner alfresco this evening. Allow me to escort you inside, until the meal is ready.
'''Damiano:''' Hahaha. I should-a expected this from a Phantomhive. I cannot wait to see what else is in store.
''The door closes''
'''Bardroy:''' wipes forehead Whoo, we actually did it.
'''Finny:''' Who woulda thought a dozen bags of gravel could turn into an amazing garden?
'''Sebastian:''' Naturally, we were able to handle this. We serve the Phantomhive family after all. There is still work to be done. Let's take care of it while the Master is talking business with his guest. Look sharp now.
'''Mey Rin, Bardroy and Finny:''' Right!
'''Damiano:''' The progress we've been making with the East India factory is quite astonishing. We already have the making of a top-notch staff.
'''Ciel:''' Bewitched by the eyes of the dead. What terrible luck. It appears I lose a turn, remember?
'''Damiano:''' Hm. Right now, is the perfect time. We should begin expanding the company and building a strong labor-
'''Ciel:''' Go on, it's your turn.
'''Damiano:''' Oh. Yes. I just-a spin this then. Ok there. Five spaces. Now, what I wanted to ask you. But perhaps you could contribute another twelve-thousand pounds to support our expansion? I believe it would be quite a profitable venture for you my Lord. And I would consider it an honor to help expand the Funtom company-
'''Ciel:''' Lose a leg in the Enchanted Forest.
'''Damiano:''' Huh?
'''Ciel:''' And it's your turn again. I lost a turn, remember?
'''Damiano:''' Oh. I see. Right. I move six.
'''Ciel:''' You don't. That's three.
'''Damiano:''' What? But-
'''Ciel:''' You lost a leg, if you recall. Now you only move half the number of spaces.
'''Damiano:''' Oh my. Hahaha. This is a gruesome board game, isn't it? Is there no way for me to restore my leg then?
'''Ciel:''' I'm afraid once something is truly lost Sir, that one could never get it back again.
'''Damiano:''' ''gasp''
'''Ciel:''' Your body is burnt by raging flames.
'''Daminao:''' ''gasp''
'''Sebastian:''' How's it going?
'''Bardroy:''' I'm doing it like you said to. This really what you want?
'''Sebastian:''' Yes. That looks excellent.
'''Mey Rin:''' Sebastian! Found 'em! Hahaha! Whaa!! *Mey Rin trips, losing her grip on the boxes*
(''Sebastian catches all the boxes and Mey Rin'')
'''Sebastian:''' Oh, honestly.
'''Mey Rin:''' *blush*
'''Sebastian:''' How many times have I told you not to run inside the manor Mey Rin?
'''Mey Rin:''' ''backs away'' Oh! I'm so sorry Sir! My glasses cracked and I can't see a thing!
'''Sebastian:''' These are the last items we needed for dinner. Splendid work everyone. But now I believe you can leave the rest of it to me and relax for a bit. But I need you to do well, VERY WELL, during dinner tonight.
'''Bardroy:''' He said it twice.
'''Finny:''' Ooh, that's serious.
'''Sebastian:''' Pardon the interruption, but dinner is served.
'''Damiano:''' Oh. Dining out in the exquisite stone garden. Shall we go my Lord?
'''Ciel:''' Very well. We'll finish the game later.
'''Daminao:''' Oh. Is there any real need to finish it? It's-a obvious I'm-a going to lose.
'''Ciel:''' I'm not in the habit of abandoning a game half-way through.
'''Daminao:''' ''mumbles'' How childish.
''Ciel looks at him.''
'''Damiano:''' I-I-I mean sometimes it takes a child's eyes to see what's really important. It's a true gift. Maybe that's what made the Phantomhive's dinations for most toy makers. It's certainly impresses me.
'''Sebastian:''' On tonight's menu is a dish of finely sliced raw beef Danbury courtesy of our chef Bardroy.
'''Damiano:''' A pile of raw beef. And this is dinner?
'''Sebastian:''' Yes. But surely you have heard of it. This good Sir is a traditional Japanese delicacy. A dish offered as a sign of gratitude to someone who has accomplished important work. That is the wonder of Dongpoi!
'''Damiano:''' Oh Dongpoi!
'''Sebastian:''' This is a token from our Master. To show his thanks for all your hard work on the company's behalf. He wanted you to know that its much appreciated.
'''Finny''' (whispers): Now that's our Sebastian for you.
'''Bardroy''' (whispers): He saved the day.
'''Tanaka''' (whispers): Hohoho.
'''Damiano:''' Excellent! What an inspired idea! The legendary Phantomhive hospitality in action.
'''Sebastian:''' The vintage we are pouring tonight was specially selected to compliment the flavor of Soy Sauce. Mey Rin.
'''Mey Rin:''' …
'''Sebastian:''' Now Mey Rin.
'''Mey Rin:''' Oh. Yes Sir.
'''Sebastian:''' (''whispers moves in, close to Mey Rin's ear'') Why are you just standing there? Pour the man a glass of wine.
'''Mey Rin:''' (''blush'') O-of course. Yes Sir.
Bardroy (whispers): Ey.
Finny (whispers): What?
Bardroy (whispers): Is it just me, or is Mey Rin acting a little strange?
Mey Rin: Sebastian's watching me. I can't take it. Don't look at me that way.
*Mey Rin spills the wine on the tablecloth. *
Finny (whispers): Mey Rin, stop it! Can't you see your spilling the wine!?
*Sebastian pulls the tablecloth, not letting a single drop spill onto the ground*
Damiano: Oh. Huh? Where did the table-a cloth go?
Ciel: A speck of dirt. Most unsightly. I had the cloth removed so it wouldn't distract us. Think nothing of it.
Sebastian: Please except my apology Sir. Do continue. Enjoy the meal at your leisure.
Daminao: Oh. Oh my. Hahaha! Lord Phantomhive, once again you have truly impressed me. What an able butler you have acquired.
Ciel: Pay him no mind. He merely acted as befits one of my servants.
Sebastian: My Master is quite correct about that. Naturally, you see I am simply one hell of a butler.
Damiano: That was a thoroughly enjoyable dinner, my Lord. Now then, about the contract.
Ciel: Before we discuss that, we must finish the game.
Damiano: Uh... yes of course. I do have a pressing appointment. Perhaps another ti-
Ciel: Children can be very demanding about their games. Surely you wouldn't want to be to get upset.
Damiano: No. No of course not. Perhaps you would permit me to use your telephone?
(''Sebastian bumps into Damiano as he steps out of the room.'')
'''Sebastian:''' I've brought some tea for you and my Lord.
'''Damiano:''' I'll be right back.
(''Ciel gives his tea an angry look.'')
'''Ciel:''' What is this? It smells terribly weak.
'''Sebastian:''' Out of our consideration for our guest, I brought some Italian tea.
'''Ciel:''' Italian?
'''Sebastian:''' Italians drink more coffee than tea, Sir. So, finding high quality Italian tea can be difficult. This particular selection is not to your liking Master?
'''Ciel:''' No. It is not. I don't like it at all.
'''Sebastian:''' I'll see to the dessert preparations.
'''Ciel:''' Good. We must show him every available hospitality. The Phantomhive family is known for its courtesy.
'''Sebastian:''' Yes, my young Lord.
'''Daminao:''' I'm-a tired of babysitting this child Earl. Yes. I already sold off the factory. Now all that's left is to pocket the extra cash. I'm trying to squeeze more out of the brat right now. Employees? Who cares about them. *he gasp* Ah, never mind. The rest of the formalities are for you to deal with. No. It'll be easy. Please, he's only a child.
''(As Damiano walks up the stairs, he stops and looks at the picture of Ciel's mother and Father. He sees a freaky ghost thing that scares him on Vincent's face (Vincent is Ciel's dad.) The ghost thing looks at him, and he wipes the sweat off his face. He looks at the picture again, and the ghost thing is not there.)''
'''Damiano:''' Impossible. I'm-a seeing things.
(''Ciel's voice echoes in his mind saying, Bewitched by the eyes of the dead.'')
'''Damiano:''' ''gasp'' No. That's ridiculous.
''Damiano searches through the mansion trying to find the room where he was before.''
'''Damiano:''' Oh. Not here either. Or here. This manor is like a giant maze. I can't even find the drawing room.
''Ciel's voice echoes once again. Bewitched by the eyes of the dead.''
''Damiano hears a floorboard creak. He sees a ghostly figure walking towards him. He runs away as fast as he can''.
'''Damiano:''' S-stay away from me!
'''Finny:''' That's odd. Was that our guest I heard just now?
'''Bardroy''': Ey! We need to move this! Or Sebastian will start yelling again!

Bardroy: Hey! What's wrong?
Mey Rin: Our guest! Somethings happened!
*Damiano sees the ghostly figure once again, and he hears Ciel's voice say, And now you lose one leg in the enchanted forest. *
Damiano: *gasp*
*He crawls away. *
Mey Rin: Sir? Um, Sir? Come back?

:'''Mysterious boy''': "It can't be real?" But it is real. I'm here.
:'''Finny''': I knew it! I knew something wasn't right when he came home! That's not the young master! He's an imposter!
:'''Mysterious boy''': Heh. An imposter? What an odd thing to say. The head of the Phantomhive household, Lord Ciel Phantomhive, is I.

==Season one==
=S1 E1 His Butler, Able=
'''Sebastian:''' Think carefully. Should you reject the faith, even as once the gates of paradise will forever be out of your reach.
'''Ciel:''' Do you think, one who was among the faithful, would ever go so far to summon someone like you?
'''Sebastian:''' *evil chuckle* I'll ask but once more. Do you wish to form a contract with me?
'''Ciel:''' I do. Now stop asking these tedious questions and let me know if we have a deal.
(Theme song plays)
(setting changes to Ciel's mansion)
'''Sebastian:''' Master, it is time for you to wake up. For breakfast today, we have a lightly poached salmon accompanied by a delicate mint salad. I can also offer toast, scones, or pan decompania. Which dish would you care for this morning?
'''Ciel:''' A scone.
'''Sebastian:''' Today, you have a meeting with Mr. Hughes, the authority on the history of the Roman Empire. And this evening, Mr. Domiano of the Poseidon company will be paying you a visit.
'''Ciel:''' Oh. Is that the man I have in charge of the stuffed animals in my factory in India?
'''Sebastian:''' Yes. I'm told he's Italian. We will of course, offer him all the hospitality the estate can provide.
'''Ciel:''' I know this smell. Is this tea Earl Grey?
'''Sebastian:''' Yes. From Jackson's of Pickinilly. I shall wait for you at dining table, Master.
(''Ciel throws dart at Sebastian, and he catches it with his index and middle finger'')
'''Sebastian:''' Well throw, my Lord. Even so, let's save the games for later.
'''Ciel:''' Yes. I suppose your right Sebastian.
'''Ciel''' (''narrating''): My butler is an able man.
(''Ciel throws dart at Finny'')
'''Finny:''' Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oooowww! What was that for Master? What did I do?
'''Ciel:''' Nothing. I don't need to justify my actions.
'''Finny:''' (''gasp'')
'''Sebastian:''' There you are. (''to Finny'') Have you finished weeding the courtyard, Finny?
'''Finny:''' Uh..
'''Sebastian:''' Mey Rin, have you washed all the bedding?
'''Mey Rin:''' Oh. Um...Well...
'''Sebastian:''' Bardroy, should you be preparing for tonight's dinner?
'''Bardroy:''' Heh..
'''Sebastian:''' Tanaka... well I suppose you're alright as you are.
'''Tanaka:''' He He He
'''Sebastian:''' Now all of you, we have no time for thumb twiddling this morning. '''''SO GET TO WORK!!'''''
''the three servants run out of the room''
'''Sebastian:''' Simply hopeless.
''Ciel walks up stairs. He stops and looks at the picture of his mother and father''
'''Sebastian:''' The silver is polished with spotless shine. The table cloth is crisp, clean and wrinkle free. There is not a single bruised blossom among Master's favorite white roses. And finally, the highest quality ingredients have been gathered to prepare a first rate dinner. The table is perfection. This will be an elegant Phantomhive welcome.
''The Study Bell rings''.
'''Sebastian:''' Still so much to do, and he calls me now.
'''Bardroy:''' A guest is coming. Alright, then this is our chance. Sebastian looks down on us all the time. Today will be so perfect he won't even know hit him. (''makes surprised face'') Yeah, that's what he's gonna say!
(''Mey Rin and Finny make the surprised face.'')
'''Bardroy:''' That's for him to say, not you.
'''Mey Rin:''' Ooh, that's a good idea!
'''Finny:''' Right! We have to stop relying on Sebastian for everything.
'''Bardroy:''' It's settled then. We got a plan of attack.
'''Mey Rin, Bardroy, and Finny:''' Lets get to it!
'''Tanaka:''' He He He
'''Ciel:''' I'm a bit hungry. I'd like something sweet to eat.
'''Sebastian:''' You shouldn't eat now, Master. You don't want to spoil your appetite for dinner with your guest this evening.
'''Ciel:''' I don't care about that. Make me a parfait.
'''Sebastian:''' I am sorry, Sir.
'''Ciel:''' Fine then. About the portrait in the hallway.
'''Sebastian:''' Yes?
'''Ciel:''' Take it down.
'''Sebastian:''' (''He gasp'')
'''Ciel:''' I am Ciel Phantomhive. Son of Vincent. And I am head of the house now.
'''Sebastian:''' Consider it done, my Lord.
'''Sebastian:''' Now. How exactly (''points at a dead garden'') did this (''points at the broken dishes'') happen (''points at a burned kitchen'')?
'''Finny:''' I thought things would go faster if I used extra strength weed killer on the garden.
'''Mey Rin:''' I was trying to reach the tea set we use for guests, but I tripped and the cabinet fell.
'''Bardroy:''' There was a lot of meat to be cooked for dinner, and it was going to take a long time, so uh I used my flamethrower.
'''Mey Rin and Finny:''' OH WE'RE SO SORRY WE DIDN'T MEAN TO!!
'''Sebastian''' (''thinks''): Our guest will arrive just after six. (''looks at pocket watch'') At most we have two hours left. Not enough time to replace the tea set, or find premium meats. What should I do? (''says'') Calm down, all of you. Perhaps you should try taking a page out of Tanaka's book and start behaving like.. (''looks at Tanaka'') Everyone, listen closely and do exactly as I say. Understand? We must be quick about this. *picks up Tanaka's tea cup* We might save this night yet.
''Wagon pulls in''.
'''Damiano:''' *gasp* How impressive.
''Shows Japanese style garden''.
'''Servants:''' Hello. Welcome, Sir.
'''Sebastian:''' This is called a stone garden. It is a traditional feature in Japan.
'''Damiano:''' Ah, pradiloso! Wonderful! Truly an elegant garden!
'''Sebastian:''' We thought it appropriate to serve dinner alfresco this evening. Allow me to escort you inside, until the meal is ready.
'''Damiano:''' Hahaha. I should-a expected this from a Phantomhive. I cannot wait to see what else is in store.
''The door closes''
'''Bardroy:''' wipes forehead Whoo, we actually did it.
'''Finny:''' Who woulda thought a dozen bags of gravel could turn into an amazing garden?
'''Sebastian:''' Naturally, we were able to handle this. We serve the Phantomhive family after all. There is still work to be done. Let's take care of it while the Master is talking business with his guest. Look sharp now.
'''Mey Rin, Bardroy and Finny:''' Right!
'''Damiano:''' The progress we've been making with the East India factory is quite astonishing. We already have the making of a top-notch staff.
'''Ciel:''' Bewitched by the eyes of the dead. What terrible luck. It appears I lose a turn, remember?
'''Damiano:''' Hm. Right now, is the perfect time. We should begin expanding the company and building a strong labor-
'''Ciel:''' Go on, it's your turn.
'''Damiano:''' Oh. Yes. I just-a spin this then. Ok there. Five spaces. Now, what I wanted to ask you. But perhaps you could contribute another twelve-thousand pounds to support our expansion? I believe it would be quite a profitable venture for you my Lord. And I would consider it an honor to help expand the Funtom company-
'''Ciel:''' Lose a leg in the Enchanted Forest.
'''Damiano:''' Huh?
'''Ciel:''' And it's your turn again. I lost a turn, remember?
'''Damiano:''' Oh. I see. Right. I move six.
'''Ciel:''' You don't. That's three.
'''Damiano:''' What? But-
'''Ciel:''' You lost a leg, if you recall. Now you only move half the number of spaces.
'''Damiano:''' Oh my. Hahaha. This is a gruesome board game, isn't it? Is there no way for me to restore my leg then?
'''Ciel:''' I'm afraid once something is truly lost Sir, that one could never get it back again.
'''Damiano:''' ''gasp''
'''Ciel:''' Your body is burnt by raging flames.
'''Daminao:''' ''gasp''
'''Sebastian:''' How's it going?
'''Bardroy:''' I'm doing it like you said to. This really what you want?
'''Sebastian:''' Yes. That looks excellent.
'''Mey Rin:''' Sebastian! Found 'em! Hahaha! Whaa!! *Mey Rin trips, losing her grip on the boxes*
(''Sebastian catches all the boxes and Mey Rin'')
'''Sebastian:''' Oh, honestly.
'''Mey Rin:''' *blush*
'''Sebastian:''' How many times have I told you not to run inside the manor Mey Rin?
'''Mey Rin:''' ''backs away'' Oh! I'm so sorry Sir! My glasses cracked and I can't see a thing!
'''Sebastian:''' These are the last items we needed for dinner. Splendid work everyone. But now I believe you can leave the rest of it to me and relax for a bit. But I need you to do well, VERY WELL, during dinner tonight.
'''Bardroy:''' He said it twice.
'''Finny:''' Ooh, that's serious.
'''Sebastian:''' Pardon the interruption, but dinner is served.
'''Damiano:''' Oh. Dining out in the exquisite stone garden. Shall we go my Lord?
'''Ciel:''' Very well. We'll finish the game later.
'''Daminao:''' Oh. Is there any real need to finish it? It's-a obvious I'm-a going to lose.
'''Ciel:''' I'm not in the habit of abandoning a game half-way through.
'''Daminao:''' ''mumbles'' How childish.
''Ciel looks at him.''
'''Damiano:''' I-I-I mean sometimes it takes a child's eyes to see what's really important. It's a true gift. Maybe that's what made the Phantomhive's dinations for most toy makers. It's certainly impresses me.
'''Sebastian:''' On tonight's menu is a dish of finely sliced raw beef Danbury courtesy of our chef Bardroy.
'''Damiano:''' A pile of raw beef. And this is dinner?
'''Sebastian:''' Yes. But surely you have heard of it. This good Sir is a traditional Japanese delicacy. A dish offered as a sign of gratitude to someone who has accomplished important work. That is the wonder of Dongpoi!
'''Damiano:''' Oh Dongpoi!
'''Sebastian:''' This is a token from our Master. To show his thanks for all your hard work on the company's behalf. He wanted you to know that its much appreciated.
'''Finny''' (whispers): Now that's our Sebastian for you.
'''Bardroy''' (whispers): He saved the day.
'''Tanaka''' (whispers): Hohoho.
'''Damiano:''' Excellent! What an inspired idea! The legendary Phantomhive hospitality in action.
'''Sebastian:''' The vintage we are pouring tonight was specially selected to compliment the flavor of Soy Sauce. Mey Rin.
'''Mey Rin:''' …
'''Sebastian:''' Now Mey Rin.
'''Mey Rin:''' Oh. Yes Sir.
'''Sebastian:''' (''whispers moves in, close to Mey Rin's ear'') Why are you just standing there? Pour the man a glass of wine.
'''Mey Rin:''' (''blush'') O-of course. Yes Sir.
Bardroy (whispers): Ey.
Finny (whispers): What?
Bardroy (whispers): Is it just me, or is Mey Rin acting a little strange?
Mey Rin: Sebastian's watching me. I can't take it. Don't look at me that way.
*Mey Rin spills the wine on the tablecloth. *
Finny (whispers): Mey Rin, stop it! Can't you see your spilling the wine!?
*Sebastian pulls the tablecloth, not letting a single drop spill onto the ground*
Damiano: Oh. Huh? Where did the table-a cloth go?
Ciel: A speck of dirt. Most unsightly. I had the cloth removed so it wouldn't distract us. Think nothing of it.
Sebastian: Please except my apology Sir. Do continue. Enjoy the meal at your leisure.
Daminao: Oh. Oh my. Hahaha! Lord Phantomhive, once again you have truly impressed me. What an able butler you have acquired.
Ciel: Pay him no mind. He merely acted as befits one of my servants.
Sebastian: My Master is quite correct about that. Naturally, you see I am simply one hell of a butler.
Damiano: That was a thoroughly enjoyable dinner, my Lord. Now then, about the contract.
Ciel: Before we discuss that, we must finish the game.
Damiano: Uh... yes of course. I do have a pressing appointment. Perhaps another ti-
Ciel: Children can be very demanding about their games. Surely you wouldn't want to be to get upset.
Damiano: No. No of course not. Perhaps you would permit me to use your telephone?
(''Sebastian bumps into Damiano as he steps out of the room.'')
'''Sebastian:''' I've brought some tea for you and my Lord.
'''Damiano:''' I'll be right back.
(''Ciel gives his tea an angry look.'')
'''Ciel:''' What is this? It smells terribly weak.
'''Sebastian:''' Out of our consideration for our guest, I brought some Italian tea.
'''Ciel:''' Italian?
'''Sebastian:''' Italians drink more coffee than tea, Sir. So, finding high quality Italian tea can be difficult. This particular selection is not to your liking Master?
'''Ciel:''' No. It is not. I don't like it at all.
'''Sebastian:''' I'll see to the dessert preparations.
'''Ciel:''' Good. We must show him every available hospitality. The Phantomhive family is known for its courtesy.
'''Sebastian:''' Yes, my young Lord.
'''Daminao:''' I'm-a tired of babysitting this child Earl. Yes. I already sold off the factory. Now all that's left is to pocket the extra cash. I'm trying to squeeze more out of the brat right now. Employees? Who cares about them. *he gasp* Ah, never mind. The rest of the formalities are for you to deal with. No. It'll be easy. Please, he's only a child.
''(As Damiano walks up the stairs, he stops and looks at the picture of Ciel's mother and Father. He sees a freaky ghost thing that scares him on Vincent's face (Vincent is Ciel's dad.) The ghost thing looks at him, and he wipes the sweat off his face. He looks at the picture again, and the ghost thing is not there.)''
'''Damiano:''' Impossible. I'm-a seeing things.
(''Ciel's voice echoes in his mind saying, Bewitched by the eyes of the dead.'')
'''Damiano:''' ''gasp'' No. That's ridiculous.
''Damiano searches through the mansion trying to find the room where he was before.''
'''Damiano:''' Oh. Not here either. Or here. This manor is like a giant maze. I can't even find the drawing room.
''Ciel's voice echoes once again. Bewitched by the eyes of the dead.''
''Damiano hears a floorboard creak. He sees a ghostly figure walking towards him. He runs away as fast as he can''.
'''Damiano:''' S-stay away from me!
'''Finny:''' That's odd. Was that our guest I heard just now?
'''Bardroy''': Ey! We need to move this! Or Sebastian will start yelling again!
'''Finny:''' Right!
'''Mey Rin:''' Oooh! How embarrassing! I really messed up this time! Oh, at least I was able to get close to Sebastian. Oh, what a shameful day throe! What kind of lecherous maid am I!?
*Damiano is running as fast as he can when he hears Ciel's voice echo once again saying, You lose one turn. He falls and injured his right leg.*
Mey Rin: Oh! Sir! Are you alright!? *gasp* His right leg. It's twisted round! What happened to it!?
Bardroy: Hey! What's wrong?
Mey Rin: Our guest! Somethings happened!
*Damiano sees the ghostly figure once again, and he hears Ciel's voice say, And now you lose one leg in the enchanted forest. *
Damiano: *gasp*
*He crawls away. *
Mey Rin: Sir? Um, Sir? Come back?
*As he is crawling, he bumps into Sebastian*
Sebastian: Surely you aren't leaving the manor yet, Sir?
Damiano: Ah!
Sebastian: We haven't given you the full Phantomhive treatment yet. We still have to serve dessert.
*Damiano crawls away from Sebastian*
Sebastian: You've lost a leg, remember? Now you can only move half the number of spaces. So why not just relax a bit and make yourself at home?
*Damiano hides in a room and closes the door*
Damiano: Damn. It's too dark.
*He hears Sebastian's footsteps*
Damiano: Is this a cupboard?
*He crawls inside. Sebastian comes through the door. *
Damiano: Damn. These are really tight quarters. *squish* What's this? *sniff* Smells like sugar.
Sebastian: What an impatient guest we have. You couldn't even restrain yourself until dessert was out of the oven.
Damiano: The-the oven!? Open up! Please, open-a the door!
Sebastian: Hm. Italians aren't familiar with our customs. There is plum pudding. Mincemeat pie. There are many traditional desserts in England that make use of meat. I find them all quite tasty.
*Ciel's voice echoes again saying, Your body is burnt by raging flames.*
Damiano: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Bardroy: What was that? Someone screamed.
Finny: Don't know. Oh. Hi Sebastian.
Sebastian: Thank you for your hard work today. As a reward, how would you like some Lemon Meringue Pie? The sugar will give you energy.
Finny and Bardroy: Huh? God bless you Sebastian! Thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you!
Sebastian: Oh, yes. And Bard. A workman will be coming by in the morning. When he arrives, kindly let him know that we need our oven thoroughly cleaned.
Bardroy: Huh? The oven?
Sebastian: Mr. Damiano. I hope you enjoyed your stay. And the Phantomhive family's hospitality. All the way down to your bones.
Damiano: MAMA MIA!!!!!
Ciel: *evil chuckle* What an unattractive scream. He sounds almost like a pig taken off to slaughter. Hm. What presumption. First, he sells the East Indian factory without telling me. And then he dares to ask for more money. Did he think to retain my trust...I'm afraid once something is truly lost, one can never get it back again.
Sebastian: It would appear we'll be needing to hang new wallpaper as well.
*Mirage of young Ciel and his family appear*
Young Ciel: *laughter* Mama. Papa.
*Mirage disappears as Sebastian snaps his fingers*
Sebastian: The new head of the Phantomhive Estate. Huh.
==S1 E2 His Butler, Strongest [1.2]==
:'''Baldroy''': Bloody hell, this wire is done for.
:'''Mey-Rin''': Oh. Not the rats again
:'''Baldroy''': This is getting ridiculous. I mean I heard they'd been plagued in London lately, but I never expected them to be such a problem this far out the city
:'''Rat''': [Squeaks]
:'''All''': Scream.
: Finnian grabs statue and swings*
:'''Finnian''': Now I've got you.
:'''All''': Scream<br/>
:'''Finnian''': Looks like it got away
:'''Baldroy''': What are you laughing for? Are you trying to kill us too you idiot
:'''Finnian''': Looks there's another one.
:'''Baldroy''': That's it.
:'''Arthur Randall''': Quite the commotion going on out there. It seems you are experiencing a rat problem as well.
:'''Man 2:''' Speaking of which how long will you let the vermin run wild? Filthy monsters. Someone really ought to take care of them. Don't you think?
:'''Lau:''' And someone will. He's just waiting for the opportune moment
:'''Madam Red:''' Indeed. He prefers to settle things with one blow. Will you pass on this turn too?
:'''Ciel''': I'll pass. It's my policy not to shoot if I know that I'll miss.
:'''Arthur Randall''': That's all very well but when will you handle the problem?
:'''Ciel''': Any time you like. The rats will soon come looking for their forbidden cheese and I hold the key to the store house...Even so locating the nest and eliminating the vermin promises to be a tedious task. You should concentrate on preparing me a suitable reward
:'''Arthur Randall''': You're a vulture.
:'''Ciel''': Sir Randall! I'd be careful how you smear my family name.
:'''Azzurro Vanel:''' Ha! You're in trouble now Randall. What next Lord Phantomhive?
:'''Ciel''': It's time to put an end to this worthless game. Don't you think? How soon can you secure the payment?
:''Arthur''': Tonight. I'll have it by then.
:'''Ciel''': Then I'll send a carriage for you later. When can even prepare some light entertainment for you. Does that sound good?
:'''Man 2''': You pass your turn twice and now you are after them all in one go?
:'''Ciel:''' Naturally.
:'''Arthur:''' Careful your greed will undo you<br/>
:'''Ciel:''' Am I undone?
==Season Two==
=Episode 8=
:'''Claude''': What are you trying to do, Master? You still haven't got hold of Ciel Phantomhive.
:'''Alois''': You're the only one I need.
:'''Claude''': Master, that nonsense is...
:'''Alois''': Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! You're the only one left in my world! Hoheotararuna ronderotareru! Don't leave my side! Never, Claude! You... You are my Highness!
:'''Claude''': Such words for a mere butler... ''(Claude kills Alois and takes his ring)'' Do not worry, my master. I cannot possibly feel hungry looking at a low-class soul that offers his love to a mere butler. I will keep you by my side. Your soul will be useful to me.

* As we bring our characters forward, I will ask leave, as a man and a brother, not only to introduce them, but occasionally to step down from the platform, and talk about them: if they are good and kindly, to love them and shake them by the hand: if they are silly, to laugh at them confidentially in the reader's sleeve: if they are wicked and heartless, to abuse them in the strongest terms which politeness admits of. Otherwise you might fancy it was I who was sneering at the practice of devotion, which Miss Sharp finds so ridiculous; that it was I who laughed good humouredly at the reeling old Silenus of a baronet—whereas the laughter comes from one who has no reverence except for prosperity, and no eye for anything beyond success. Such people there are living and flourishing in the world—Faithless, Hopeless, Charityless: let us have at them, dear friends, with might and main. Some there are, and very successful too, mere quacks and fools: and it was to combat and expose such as those, no doubt, that Laughter was made.

** A cypress, lifting its head above the lofty wood, with mighty stem holds the whole grove in its evergreen embrace; and an ancient oak spreads its gnarled branches crumbling in decay. The side of one devouring time has torn away; the other, falling, its roots rent in twain, hangs propped against a neighbouring trunk. Here are the laurel with bitter berries, slender linden-trees, Paphian myrtle, and the alder, destined to sweep its oarage over the boundless sea; and here, mounting to meet the sun, a pine-tree lifts its knotless bole to front the winds.

* <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[w:Zhou Ruchang|Zhou Ruchang]]] argues that Gao E 高鹗(1740?–1815), a Palace scholar who edited the first printed edition of Honglou meng in 1791, changed some of the first 80 chapters and actually fabricated the last 40 chapters thereby turning the novel into a sordid love triangle. Furthermore, Zhou posits that this forgery was masterminded by the notorious Manchu official [[w:Heshen|Heshen]] 和珅 (1750–1799) and that it had the support of the [[w:Qianlong Emperor|Qianlong emperor]] (1711–1799). Zhou Ruchang also maintains that the novel originally consisted of 108 chapters (twelve sections of nine chapters each), not the 120-chapter version printed by the Imperial Household Department Printing Office, and that the story's 108 female characters were intended by Cao to mirror the 108 heroes in the celebrated Northern Song dynasty novel ''[[Outlaws of the Marsh]]'' (水浒传); and the Yuan dynasty drama ''[[Romance of the Western Chamber]]'' (西厢记).

* [[w:Li Yu (author)|Li Yu]], with his talent, could have become another [[Cao Xueqin]], but in the end he did not. Worse still, he became a writer far inferior to Cao Xueqin. There were many reasons for his failure, and the main one was that he lived too comfortably and too elegantly. (We can understand his life by reading his ''Sketches of Idle Pleasures''.) Unlike Cao Xueqin, he did not experience any sudden decline in family fortune and was never shocked or tormented spiritually. For a writer, hardships can make him/ her turn inward and search his/her soul. A literary career is often rather "cruel," because it requires a writer to endure all kinds of hardships before he/she can be awakened. In this sense a real writer is just like [[w:Sun Wukong|Monkey]] in ''[[Journey to the West]]'' and has to be steeled in the furnace of cruelty before he can stand out in a crowd of mediocre writers. Li Yu was a prolific writer, but none of his works was as good as ''[[Dream of the Red Chamber]]'', and he was never able to depict poetic lives with rich souls and genuine feelings the way Cao Xueqin did. The inward turn in characterization in ''Dream of the Red Chamber'' is a reflection of Cao Xueqin's own inward turn.
Luke Milbourne "the fairest of critics"
* When asked to explain the significance and pleasure of the Chinese novel ''Dream of the Red Chamber'', by Cao Xueqin, I'm afraid I usually flounder. How to put it to friends, students or colleagues that the tiffs, the leisurely intrigues and frustrated aspirations of a fractious bunch of adolescents constitute one of the great efforts at plumbing human experience? ... ''Dream of the Red Chamber'' has [[Balzac]]'s panoramic view of society, the satire of arrogance and fashion of ''[[Vanity Fair]]'', the funny, meandering mischief of ''[[Decameron]]''. But these comparisons are inadequate to a work so monumental and so vehemently itself, the epitome of the great tradition of Chinese family fiction.

* Love is born into every human being; it calls back the halves of our original nature together; it tries to make one out of two and heal the wound of human nature. Each of us, then, is a 'matching half' of a human whole ... and each of us is always seeking the half that matches him.
* The study of books and literature to the true scholar is but the means to enable him to interpret, to criticise, to understand human life.

* It is very difficult to achieve what [[Laozi]] calls a "return to the state of an infant," which is, in other words, a return to the original state of life characterized by innocence. Most people, including even great poets such as [[Li Bai]], [[Du Fu]], and [[Bai Juyi]], not to mention writers such as [[Shi Nai'an]] and [[Luo Guanzhong]], are unable to return to innocence. Only [[Cao Xueqin]] can, and he proves it when he shines the light of innocence on [[w:Jia Baoyu|Jia Baoyu]]. Jia Baoyu is an innocent child in essence. Intelligent yet naïve and sophisticated yet simple, he stands for the original innocence in life. Once, his father hoped to change his life by beating him with a stick, but he always remained impervious to any attempt people made to put his life in order, just like the chaos [[Zhuangzi]] describes. This state of chaos is a state of innocence. Jia Baoyu is the most complete image of an innocent child in Chinese literature. Through Jia Baoyu, Cao Xueqin achieves his return to innocence.

* If it be lawful to avow a feeling approaching to enthusiasm for any Chinese production, the ''Hung Low Mêng'' 紅樓夢 or "Dream of the Red Chamber" is beyond possibility of cavil the work for which genuine admiration may be expressed. What in English literature the writings of [[William Makepeace Thackeray|Thackeray]] and [[Edward Bulwer-Lytton|Bulwer]] are in comparison with the wearisome and unskilful productions of previous generations, such is the ''Hung Low Mêng'' when compared with the works of fiction that have emanated from other Chinese authors. Human character in its complex variety of shades, the intricacies of family relations, the force of passion and the torture of disappointed yearnings after love are portrayed with a degree of skill and knowledge such as in truth suggests a resemblance with the two great master-spirits of English romance; whilst, as in Nature's own drama of existence, the reflections of storm and sunshine are closely interlaced, and the lighter thread of comedy runs side by side with the dark main-strand of a story which opens with the omens of sorrow and is conducted to a tearful end. [...] The length to which the romance extends, and the difficulty of interesting Europeans in individuals bearing what appear [to be] such uncouth names are formidable obstacles for a translator to overcome. In China, no work is more universally popular.

* To those born with a sensitive spirit and an appreciation of subtle beauty, lyric verse can bring delight and release, it can be a source of peace and strength. And this aesthetic sensitivity, if coupled with a sincere cultivation of character, can greatly enhance the quality of a man's everyday life and of his literary and scholarly pursuits. Many human activities coexist, many paths lead to the same goal. The lyric, an expression of the human heart and mind, and of human perceptions of the world, is one path leading to an understanding of beauty and goodness.

* The author's mind is utterly devoid of any trace of Confucian ethics, and conscience is to him a factor absolutely of no account. Literature is to him only skill in turning neat couples and devising in[s]criptions for tables. His heroes have no intellect, no manliness, no conscience. His heroines are utterly devoid of delicacy, piety, virtue. He draws human nature neither as it ought to be nor, we hope in charity, as it really is in China. He works the complicated story of his book without a single lofty ideal and without any moral purpose whatever. ... Virtue and vice are to this Chinese novelist, Tsao Sueh-kin, merely what the colours on his palette are to the arti[s]an painter—so much effective dirt. [[Juvenal]], [[Shakespeare]], [[Henry Fielding|Fielding]], with all their occasional nastiness, have ethical sympathies: this Chinese novelist has none.

* How comes it...that a book so utterly non-Confucian, so nihilistic as regards both Chinese religion and morals, is one of the most widely read novels of China? The explanation is very simple. Chinese read the Red-Chamber Dream because of its wickedness. This Chinese novel owes its popularity chiefly to the spice of impropriety which garnishes these passion-tickling descriptions of the harem-life of a bloated aristocracy, to the literary cleverness with which it panders to man's morbid craving after what he knows to be naughty.

* The acknowledgement that the text seeks to exact from its reader is ... not only that fiction betokens a systematic reinforcement of illusion, but also that it focalizes, ironically, both the need and danger of that reinforcement. ... The profound paradox emerging from Cao Xueqin's masterpiece seems to be that the illusion of life, itself a painful avowal of the non-reality and untruth of reality, can only be grasped through the illusion of art, which is an affirmation of the truth of insubstantiality (that is, ''jia zhong you zhen''). ... [W]hat, for the Chinese, is the all-too-familiar lesson, old as [[Zhuangzi]]'s butterfly and the ''[[w:Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra|Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra]]'', that "human life is but a dream (''rensheng ru meng'')"—a lesson painfully acquired by the book's author, its protagonists, and by many of its characters, driven home by experiences that yield "hot and bitter tears".

But even though you ''kan po hong chen'', you still have strong feelings. That's what so special about ''The Stone''. It captures that. For me that's what I read about. Every time you read, you find more depth, more detail. ... The author communicates – for lack of a better word, what I would just call – love. It's a love for humanity. ... Love is one of the great mysteries of life. There is nothing more sacred, nothing more mysterious, nothing more powerful. I come back to that – great literature is nearly always full of love, in a very broad sense. ... You come out of the book with a warm feeling.

* ...Bao-yu posed a special problem for the editor and/or author of the final chapters. To be consistent with the pattern of change established during the narrative—that nothing that shares in life may avoid change—Cao [Xue Qin] or Gao [E] not only bestows on Bao-yu an unseemly amount of loss and sorrow in the last chapters, but also creates in him an oddly abrupt impulse to apply himself to rigorous study in preparation for the Examinations, immediately prior to his return to the Great Void. After Bao-yu finishes seventh overall in the Examinations, Jia Zheng is overjoyed—Boa-yu has finally yielded, and in high fashion. At the last moment before he leaves this world, "his earthly obligations fulfilled," Bao-yu encounters his father and kowtows four times before him. Such achievement and piety are inconsistent with the character of Bao-yu (and stone) as developed over the first one hundred chapters. This final reconciliation of antagonisms Gao E evidently saw to be his principal task in polishing the work—or Cao Xue Qin decided finally to harmonize some clearly dissonant elements rather hastily. Bao-yu's retreat from this world, accompanied by the two immortals, also fulfills his urge for reclusiveness, witnessed throughout the text—and made possible (as I believe it likely would be if indeed Cao Xue Qin had finished the work) only by finally extricating himself completely from existence in this world. The change/stasis conflict between father and son is resolved, then, by realizing the fulfillment of both opposing forces: change, and freedom from change.

* [Don Quixote's] reading reading of reality, like his reading of the romances of chivalry, is absolutely sincere and in deadly earnest. The question ... is ''why'' does Don Quixote read reality the way he does, in light of the code of chivalresque literature, and ''why'' does Sancho interpret reality through a different, more historical and prosaic code? The answer is that each man reads the way he does because he is who he is, or more accurately, who he has become. ... Life presents us with choices, each of us chooses one possibility instead of the others available on each occasion. Over time our choices organize themselves into a pattern typical of each of us. Our history, the aggregate of the choices we have made, comes to define our personality. We are what we have become. In literary terms, this is the phenomenon known as "character." ... Don Quixote reads reality the way he does because he needs to make the romances of chivalry true. He needs to do this because he is psychotic, and he is psychotic because he has chosen to react in certain ways and not others to the pressures life has subjected him to.

** <p>[The] first lessons were the surer. I acquired the power I still have to read what I find written and to write what I want to express; whereas in the studies that came later I was forced to memorise the wanderings of Aeneas—whoever ''he'' was—while forgetting my own wanderings; and to [[weep]] for the death of [[w:Dido|Dido]] who killed herself for love, while bearing dry-eyed my own pitiful state, in that among these studies I was becoming dead to You, O God, my life.</p> Nothing could be more pitiful than a pitiable creature who does not see to pity himself, and weeps for the death that Dido suffered through love of Aeneas and not for the death he suffers himself through not loving You, O God, Light of my heart, Bread of my soul, Power wedded to my mind and the depths of my thought. I did not love You and I went away from You in fornication: and all around me in my fornication echoed applauding cries: "Well done! Well done!" ''[http://biblehub.com/james/4-4.htm For the friendship of this world is fornication against Thee:]'' and the world cries "Well done" so loudly that one is ashamed of unmanliness not to do it. And for this I did not grieve; but I grieved for Dido, slain as she sought by the sword an end to her woe, while I too followed after the lowest of Your creatures, forsaking You, earth going unto earth. And if I were kept from reading, I grieved at not reading the tales that caused me such grief. This sort of folly is held nobler and richer than the studies by which we learn to read and write!

** And now beneath the scarlet dawn vain hope had sent the king abroad, wondering how great a stretch of waters one night had set between him and Aeson's son, whether the sea was open and inviting to behold and all the ocean quiet as before. And while he is preparing to spy it out from afar, Echion the Arcadian meets him with a message, "that already the hero is standing in the Circean field of Mars: let the king send forth his bronze-footed bulls to battle." "Lo! of his own accord he challenges me," he cried, while hope took wings within him. "Now, bulls, now for the first time plough me the furrows into flame, now open forth and send rolling all your fiery blasts. Let the Haemonian husbandman find a notable harvest to his reaping, and do thou, my daughter, at thy sire's behest ply thy serpent against the Grecians. Let them perish in sight of the fleece itself, let its very hid keep the dread stains of blood for me to see." He speaks, and bids the plain be opened to the charging bulls. Some shoulder the monstrous seeds, the Echionian teeth, others bear the heavy wood of the awful plough. But the great-hearted leader is escorted by a throng of his own men from Pagasae; then with heartening words all withdrew far from the grim fields. Firmly he planted his feet, and out of all his company was standing there alone, as some bird deserted by its wheeling squadrons, cut off by the sands of the burning South where day grows weary, or, as it struggles toward Riphaean heights, by snow and the shuddering fury of the dark North wind; when suddenly the most distant wave of astonied Phasis and the trees of Caucasus and all Aeetes' land flashed bright as the stalls poured forth a glowing darkness. And even as on a time the lightning wrath of Jove sends forth from one cloud two fiery brands upon mankind, or as two winds together break prison and escape: so then did the two bulls issue from the barriers and snort forth a mighty whirlwind of murky flame. Shuddered the crew of Argo, shuddered bold Idas who late was lamenting that a girl's spells had saved him, and despite himself gazed at the maid of Colchis. Jason brooked no delay, but rushed upon them when he saw them parting, and waved his threatening helm, and advancing towards them summons with right hand their wandering fire. When at length the bull who first saw Jason's approaching armour stood still and with angry glance changed his course, he delays a moment, then bursts forth in sudden fury. Not so madly so the seas rush against the cliffs and fall broken back again. Twice with thunderous blasts does he charge the hero and envelop him in cloud, but the Colchian suffers not the burning heat to come nigh him, and the fire cools as it rushes upon his shield, and the flame pales when it feels the poisons. Aesonides puts forth his right hand and tempers the burning horns, then clinging presses them down with all his might. The bull struggles against the hero and against even thee then, Medea, and would fain shake him off, and standing motionless bears him, as he wrestles with all his rage, upon his horns; at length sinking down he begins to bellow with a deeper note, his horns are weary and he falls to the ground beaten. Then the son of Aeson glances towards his friends, calling for the huge bridle, and now he has closed his mouth, drags him and is dragged, and pressing his knee against him overpowers him, and forces the quivering shoulders beneath the brazen yoke. The other bull then does the anxious Colchian rob of his terrors, and brings him to Jason moving slowly and threatening but timidly, and now as he draws near she casts a cloud about him; exhausted he falls upon his head and shoulders by the sheer force of his weight and angry rage: Jason is upon him and from above plies all his strength and presses him down, his own blasts failing him. And when he has got him beneath the yoke and bound him fast in the strong plough, with his knee he makes him rise and goads him also with the ruthless spear: just as when from the midst of the yawning earth a horse came newly forth, and Lapithes leapt upon its back and checked its first neighing with a bridle, and appeared on Ossa's summit. Then, as though it were the Libyan plain or the fertile plough-lands of rich Nile that he was cleaving, he joyfully scatters the seeds by handfuls on the ground and burdens the newly-tilled land with war. Then thrice from the very ploughshare issued the trump of Mars and from every furrow blared the horns; then was the warlike soil shaken, and the phalanx took life and arms together, and sprang up over all the plain. The hero withdrew and betwook himself for a space to his companions, waiting till the earth should show him the first troop. But when he saw the furrows at last open before the summits of the crests, and the surface quivering with the helmet-peaks, eh darted upon them, and where the earth lay closest to the base of their necks, nor yet had their shoulders seen the light, quick to the work with obedient sword he levels the trunks with the ground; and as they follow, gleaming corselet or hands first rising from their mother doth he attack and lays them low ere they can strike. Yet suffices he not for the thousands who on this side and on that are springing up, any more than when the Tirynthian wearied in fight against the hydra's dreadful hosts turned to the fires of Pallas. Once more then he has recourse to the Colchian's friendly arts, and disjoins the chain and fastening at his helmet's base; yet he hesitates and would fain himself challenge the whole array; but no hope offers, so closely throng the banners of the earth-born on every side, so loud their shouts and trumpet calls. And now all caught sight of the man, and at once all weapons are flying at him. Then mad with fear in such peril he flung into their midst the helmet which Medea of late had drugged with hellish poison: straightway the spears were turned about. And just as the anger of the mournful Mother rends every year the frenzied Phrygians, or as Bellona lacerates the long-haired eunuchs, so doth Medea suddenly inflame and embroil the cohorts and drive the doomed brethren to battle with their kin. Each one thinks that it is Jason he is laying low, all alike are fired with similar rage. Aeetes stands aghast and would fain recall the madmen, but all the host was on the ground, nor was any first to fall or last to remain, but the earth of a sudden swallowed up all her dead.

* '''Gino Castaldo''': [Do] you look out for new writers?<br />'''Bob Dylan''': Yeah, but I don't believe there are any, because we live in another age. The [[media]] is very invasive. What could you possibly write that you haven't seen every day in the newspapers or on television?<br />'''Gino Castaldo''': But there are emotions that have to be expressed.<br />'''Bob Dylan''': Yeah, but the media control people's emotions, anyway. When there were people around like [[William Blake]], [[Percy Bysshe Shelley|Shelley]] or [[Lord Byron|Byron]] there probably wasn't any form of media. Just gazzettes. You could feel free to put down whatever you had in your mind...<br />'''Gino Castaldo''': Do you think the TV and the media have killed poetry?<br />'''Bob Dylan''': Oh, absolutely. Because [[literature]] is written for a public. There's nobody like [[Franz Kafka|Kafka]] who just sits down and writes something without wanting somebody to read it.<br />'''Gino Castaldo''': Every writer?<br />'''Bob Dylan''': Yeah, sure, but the media does this for everybody. You can't see things that are more horrible than what the media give you. The news shows people things that they couldn't even dream about and even ideas that people thought they could repress, but they see them and they can't even repress them anymore. So what can a writer do when every idea is already exposed in the media before he can even grasp it and develop it?<br />'''Gino Castaldo''': How do you react to all this?<br />'''Bob Dylan''': We live in a world of fantasy where Disney has won, the fantasy of Disney. It's all fantasy. That's why I think that if a writer has something to say he should say it at all costs. The world is real. Fantasy has become the real world. Whether we realize it or not.

* '''Bob Dylan''': The [[media]] is all-pervasive. What can a writer think of to write that you don't see every day in a newspaper or on television?<br />'''Dave Fanning''': Well, there are emotions to be expressed.<br />'''Bob Dylan''': The media is moving people's emotions anyway. When [[Arthur Rimbaud|Rimbaud]] was writing, [[William Blake]] or [[Percy Bysshe Shelley|Shelley]] or [[Lord Byron|Byron]] or any of those people, there probably wasn't any media, just somewhere where you could feel free to put down anything that came into your mind...<br />'''Dave Fanning''': So it's safe to make the assumption that TV and the media in general have killed [[poetry]] and [[literature]].<br />'''Bob Dylan''': Absolutely. Absolutely. Even literature is written for an audience. It's not just written, it doesn't sit down. Everybody's not [[Franz Kafka|Kafka]], sitting down and writing something that should ever be seen by... that you don't want some analyst to see. Most people who sit down, they want people to see it. They want people to read it. They want a person's reaction. They want some type of acceptance. But the media is doing that for everybody now. And movies and TV. I mean, you can't see more horrific things than you see in the media, especially the news. I'm just talking about the news department, which is showing people absolutely everything they'd ever even dreamed about. Even thoughts they might think and suppress forever, they'd see them in the media. So you can't express them anymore. What's a writer to do if every idea is exposed in the media before he can get to it or let it evolve? What's a writer gonna write about? ... It's a science-fiction world. We're living in a science-fiction world. We're living in a world that Disney has conquered. Disney's science fiction. Theme parks, trendy streets, it's all science fiction. So I'd say that if a writer has something to say, he'll have to do it within that science-fiction world. Whether we realize it or not science fiction has become the real world.

My dog, who was now grown old and crazy...sat always at my right hand; and two cats, one on one side of the table and one on the other... With this attendance and in this plentiful manner I lived; neither could I be said to want anything but society.
And now I saw how easy it was for the providence of God to make even the most miserable condition of mankind worse. Now I looked back upon my desolate, solitary island as the most pleasant place in the world and all the happiness my heart could wish for was to be but there again. I stretched out my hands to it, with eager wishes: O happy desert! said I, I shall never see thee more...

* Indeed it is impossible for any Translator, and much less for [[Alexander Pope|this]], to express in a Translation the Poetical Language of [[Homer|HOMER]]. By the Advantage of the Language in which he wrote, he had several Ways of rendering his Language poetical, which a Translator can never have; as the frequent Use of compounded and decompounded Words; the Use of Words which were as it were at one and the same time both Grecian and Foreign; as being confin'd in their vulgar Use to some particular Part of ''Greece''; as likewise the Use of Words which were purely Poetick, and which were seldom or never us'd in Prose; the contracting or lengthening the Words which he used, and the frequent transposing of Syllables; and, lastly, the altering the Terminations of Words, by means of the different Dialects.

Aquilo que é inevitável torna-se fácil, se formos realistas, e humildes. (MP)
O Lord God, Almighty Father! hear the prayer of a poor, wicked, proud child! I know that my heart is full of sin, and that my body is corrupt and filthy, and that I must soon die and go down into the dust; and yet I am so foolish and so wicked as to wish to be great in this world. I wish to have a fine house to live in, and a great many servants to wait on me, and to be of great consequence, and to be made a great deal of; and yet I know, that if I had what I deserved, I should now at this moment be in hell fire. O thou that resisteth the proud, and givest grace to the humble! give me the grace of humility; make me humble and lowly in heart, content and thankful for what I have. O set my sins in order before my eyes, that I may see I have nothing to be proud of, and know that I am not worthy to be set up and made great in the world. I know that thou, O Lord! lovest humble and lowly people; and that thy blessed Son, when in this world, appeared in the form of a servant, amongst the lowest and poorest of men, and was meek and lowly in his behaviour. O Lord! send thy Holy Spirit to cleanse my heart from all proud thoughts. Teach me to know my sins and hate myself, and to humble myself before men and in thy sight. O give me a clean and a new heart, that I may rather desire to be numbered amongst the saints, and martyrs, and children of God—those holy people of whom the world was not worthy—than amongst the great and mighty men of the earth.

'''[[w:ALGOL|ALGOL]]''' (short for '''ALGO'''rithmic '''L'''anguage) is a family of imperative computer [[programming languages]] originally developed in the mid-1950s which greatly influenced many other languages.
== Quotes ==
* Although my own previous enthusiasm has been for syntactically rich languages like the Algol family, I now see clearly and concretely the force of [[Marvin Minsky|Minsky's]] 1970 Turing lecture, in which he argued that Lisp's uniformity of structure and power of self reference gave the programmer capabilities whose content was well worth the sacrifice of visual form.
** [[Robert Floyd]], "[http://www.ias.ac.in/resonance/May2005/pdf/May2005Classics.pdf The Paradigms of Programming]", 1978 [[w:Turing Award|Turing Award]] Lecture, ''[[w:Communications of the ACM|Communications of the ACM]]'' '''22''' (8), August 1979: pp. 455–460.
* One of the most important and fascinating of all computer languages is [[Lisp programming language|Lisp]] (standing for "List Processing"), which was invented by John McCarthy around the time Algol was invented.
** [[Douglas Hofstadter]], ''[[Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid]]''.
* [ALGOL 60] is a language so far ahead of its time, that it was not only an improvement on its predecessors, but also on nearly all its successors.
** [[C. A. R. Hoare]], [http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~bchandra/courses/papers/Hoare_Hints.pdf Hints on Programming Language Design], December 1973.
* [ALGOL W] was not only a worthy successor of ALGOL 60, it was even a worthy predecessor of [[PASCAL]].
**[[C. A. R. Hoare]], [http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=358561 "The Emperor's Old Clothes"], 1980 [[w:Turing Award|Turing Award]] lecture, ''[[w:Communications of the ACM|Communications of the ACM]]'' '''24''' (2), (February 1981): pp. 75-83.
* The ALGOL compiler was probably one of the nicest pieces of code to come out at that time. I spent hours trying to fix and change the compiler. Working with it so closely affected the way I think about programming and had a profound influence on my style.
** [[Gary Kildall]] (1986) ''Programmers at Work''.
* There is an appreciated substance to the phrase "ALGOL-like" which is often used in arguments about programming, languages and computation. ALGOL appears to be a durable model, and even flourishes under surgery — be it explorative, plastic, or amputative.
** [[Alan Perlis]], [http://awards.acm.org/images/awards/140/articles/0132439.pdf "The Synthesis of Algorthmic Systems"], 1966 [[w:Turing Award|Turing Award]] lecture, ''Journal of the ACM'' '''14''' (1), January 1967, pp. 1–9.

:''[After the nephews were revealed that they were responsible for eating Scrooge's homemade chocolate chip cookies before dinner]''
:'''Donald''': ''[outraged]'' Boys! How could you?!
:'''Huey''': Hey, aren't we innocent into proven guilty?
:'''Donald''': NO! ''[Daisy and the nephews gasp]'' You three march right upstairs! NOW!
:''[The nephews get out of their chairs and leave the dining room table]''
:'''Daisy''': I'm sure the cookies were delicious, Uncle Scrooge.
:'''Huey''': They were.
:'''Donald''': JUST LET ME AT 'EM!
:''[Donald furiously lunges at his nephews, who quickly ran upstairs to their bedroom, but was held back by Daisy and Scrooge]''
:'''Scrooge''': Don't make a big deal out of nothing.
:'''Donald''': ''[angrily]'' Let me go!
:'''Scrooge''': Listen! I'll go talk to them.
:''[Later, Scrooge knocks on their bedroom door]''
:'''Dewey''': ''[bored]'' Come in.
:'''Scrooge''': ''[enters]'' Boys? I want to tell you something important.
:'''Dewey''': Did you make us more cookies? ''[Scrooge glares at them]'' No, that might send the wrong message.
:'''Scrooge''': Listen. I don't want you three to make the same selfish choices that I made when I was your age.
:'''Louie''': But you turned out rich.
:'''Scrooge''': Rich because I was selfish.
:'''Huey, Dewey & Louie''': We want to be rich and selfish too!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Mickey''': Uh, hey, pal. I'd finished decorating. Well, almost. Heh. There's just one thing left. ''[Pluto doesn't show up]'' Oh, come on, Pluto. Who's my pal? Who's my pal? ''[Pluto still doesn't show up]'' Pal? ''[peeks into the doghouse]'' Buddy? Hello? ''[gasps as he spots Pluto's discarded collar. Picking it up, he finds paw prints in the snow]'' Oh, no! ''[dials Minnie's phone number]
:'''Minnie''': Hello.
:'''Mickey''': Minnie, it's me.
:'''Minnie''': ''[on her voicemail]'' Thanks for the jingle. I'm not ho-ho-home, but leave me some Christmas cheer.
:'''Mickey''': Pluto has run away! I gotta find him! He's probably freezing, all alone, miserable! Christmas is ruined! This is just terrible! Cancel the party! ''[hangs up, then picks it up again]'' Oh, this is Mickey. ''[hangs up again, and runs off]''

:'''Donner''': Brace yourselves for genius. There can only be one name for this dog. Wanna hear it?
:'''Blitzen''': Please.
:'''Donner''': Murray!
:'''Reindeers''': ''[confused]'' Murray?
:'''Donner''': You know, as in "Murray Christmas"?
:'''Blitzen''': Oh, my head.

'''Steve Stewart-Williams''' (born 1971) is a Professor of Psychology in the School of Psychology at the University of Nottingham Malaysia, and author of the books ''Darwin, God and the Meaning of Life'' (2010) and ''The Ape That Understood the Universe'' (2018). He was born in Wellington, New Zealand. He studied at Massey university, where he completed a PhD in psychology and philosophy.
== Quotes ==
=== ''Darwin, God and the Meaning of Life: How Evolutionary Theory Undermines Everything You Think You Know'' (2010)===
* Evolutionary theory answers one of the most profound and fundamental questions human beings have ever asked themselves, a question that has plagued reflective minds for as long as reflective minds have existed in the universe: why are we here?
** (p. 1)
* Why would the omnipotent creator of the entire universe be so deeply attached to a bipedal, tropical ape? Why would He take on the bodily form of one of these peculiar tailless primates? Why would such a magnificent being be so obsessively, nit-pickingly preoccupied with trivial matters such as the dress code and sexual behaviour of one mammalian species, especially its female members?
** (p. 4)
* The idea that the Biblical stories are symbolic is charitable to the point of absurdity. What would we think of a university professor who, happening upon unambiguous errors in a favourite student’s work, concluded that the student was speaking symbolically and awarded top marks?
** (p. 63)
* Some claim that life, the universe, and mind are miraculous. My conclusion is that these things are really, really amazing, but that they’re not miraculous (unless by miraculous, you just mean ‘really, really amazing’).
** (p. 74)
* Viewed from an evolutionary perspective, mind is not the cause of the order in nature; mind is an example of the order in nature - something to be explained rather than the explanation for everything else.
** (p. 101)
* People kill nonhuman animals for food, for their skins, and sometimes just for fun. We enslave animals and force them to work for us. We experiment on them and justify <I>their</I> suffering in terms of <I>our</I> advantage. Because most of us want to be able to view ourselves as good people (and, perhaps more importantly, because we want others to view us as good people), we may be motivated to view nonhumans in such a way that these activities are rendered morally unproblematic. One way to do this is to view other animals as utterly different from us.
** (p. 111)
* Bertrand Russell once pointed out that ‘People are more unwilling to give up the word “God” than to give up the idea for which the word has hitherto stood’. Evolutionary theory may not persuade everyone to give up the word. However, to the extent that it encourages people to alter its meaning beyond recognition, it could be argued that God has nonetheless been a casualty of Darwin’s theory.
** (p. 136)
* It seems that the evolutionist must conclude, along with the writer Vladimir Nabokov, that ‘our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness’. Brains that think otherwise – brains that deny they are brains and believe instead that they are eternal souls - are brains that hold false beliefs about themselves.
** (p. 150)
* To a hypothetical alien with a vastly superior intellect to our own, human minds would be classed as intermediate forms between the mindless and the fully minded.
** (p. 151)
* When you contemplate the universe, part of the universe becomes conscious of itself.
** (p. 152)
* Around 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang, and almost four billion years since life first evolved, something strange began to happen: Tiny parts of the universe became conscious, and came to know something about themselves and the universe of which they are a part... Eventually, some of these tiny parts of the universe - the parts we call ‘scientists’ and ‘scientifically-informed laypeople’ - came to understand the Big Bang and the evolutionary process through which they had come to exist. After an eternity of unconsciousness, the universe now had some glimmering awareness that it existed and some understanding of where it had come from.
** (p. 152)
* It may be the fate of the universe to spend an eternity in darkness, save one brief flash of self-awareness in the middle of nowhere.
** (p. 154)
* Certainly, the human-animal distinction is still workable; after all, we rarely make errors in assigning entities to one category or the other. But after Darwin, the distinction suddenly seems arbitrary – as arbitrary as the equally workable distinction between, say, turtles and non-turtles.
** (pp. 154-155)
* It is not clear that people have fully taken on board the idea that humans are animals. If they had, then perhaps academic disciplines such as sociology and anthropology would be viewed as specialist branches of zoology; medical doctors would be viewed as a subtype of veterinarians (one that specializes in tending to the health needs of just one species); human rights would be viewed as a subset of animal rights; and the socialization of children would be viewed as one example of the training or domestication of animals (making parents and teachers a subtype of animal trainers).
** (p. 155)
* A Ku Klux Klan member would be mortified to learn that he was actually a Black man. Many people’s reaction to learning that they are actually animals, or actually apes, is the same.
** (p. 156)
* Some people worry that to say we are nothing but matter is to deny that we think or feel. It’s not. The strange fact is that, when suitably arranged, matter thinks and feels.
** (p. 160)
* Changes in the inhabitants of the earth do not reflect a constant process of improvement in the design of organisms, any more than changes in fashion over the years reflect a constant process of improvement in the quality of clothing.
** (p. 173)
* One could even argue that our creative endeavours and achievements and small acts of kindness are all the more impressive against the backdrop of a purposeless universe.
** (p. 196)
* The claim that women have a stronger average parental urge than men is sometimes viewed as a sexist generalization. But it’s only sexist if we take a dim view of the trait in question: the parental urge. One could turn the accusation on its head: Those who view the evolutionist’s claim (that women are more parental than men) as sexist are actually being sexist themselves, because they’re taking a negative view of a trait that’s usually found more strongly in females than males. They are therefore prizing prototypically masculine traits more highly than prototypically feminine ones.
** (p. 230)
* Even if we accept the basic logic of the natural law argument against homosexuality, we have to ask just how wicked a sin it could really be. People sometimes use metal coat hangers as impromptu TV aerials, a purpose for which they were not designed. Likewise, children sometimes climb up slides instead of sliding down them. Are these activities heinous infractions of the moral law? Are they an insult to the people who designed the coat hangers or the slides?
** (p. 247)
* People often assume that anyone who studies evolution thinks that everything should be about the survival of the fittest. However, this makes no more sense than assuming that anyone who studies glaciers thinks that everything should be done really, really slowly.
** (p. 256)
* We like to think that reason is the supreme adaptation; that rational animals deserve preferential treatment; and that nonhumans, because they don’t have reason, have no intrinsic moral value. However, after Darwin, this is no different and no more convincing than, say, an elephant thinking that trunks are the supreme adaptation; that animals with trunks deserve preferential treatment; and that non-elephants, because they don’t have trunks, have no intrinsic moral value.
** (pp. 263-264)
* If we decide – and this is our decision; it’s not imposed on us from above – if we decide that reducing the amount of suffering in the world is a good ethical principle to live by, then it becomes entirely unjustified and arbitrary to extend this principle to human beings but not also to extend it to other animals capable of suffering. Why should the suffering of nonhumans be less important than that of humans? Surely a universe with less suffering is better than one with more, regardless of whether the locus of suffering is a human being or not, a rational being or not, a member of the moral community or not. Suffering is suffering, and these other variables are morally irrelevant.
** (p. 274)
* The amount of suffering and pain caused by the tyranny of human beings over other animals (particularly in food production) far exceeds that caused by sexism, racism, or any other existing form of discrimination, and for this reason, the animal liberation movement is the most important liberation movement on the face of the planet today.
** (p. 278)
* Several years ago, the Foundation for Biomedical Research ran an ad campaign in support of medical experimentation on nonhuman animals. The ad featured a photograph of a group of animal rights protestors under the caption: ‘Thanks to animal research, they’ll be able to protest 20.8 years longer.’ But imagine a parallel universe in which medical research is conducted on black people, and in which an equivalent foundation employs an equivalent argument: ‘Thanks to research on black people, these white protesters will be able to protest against experimentation on black people 20.8 years longer’! Would this justify experimentation on black people? Obviously not! We would immediately reject the argument as founded on a deeply racist assumption, namely, that the costs inflicted on ‘mere’ black people are justified by the benefits produced for whites. But the original argument is founded on an equivalently <I>speciesist</I> assumption: that the costs inflicted on ‘mere’ animals are justified by the benefits produced for us.
** (p. 278)
* Tying morality to religion is a little like transporting a precious cargo on a sinking ship. What happens when the child grows up and starts doubting the factual claims of the religion? The cargo may be lost with the ship.
** (p. 287)
* If religion doesn't make people good, why do people think that it does? Simple: Because religion teaches that it makes people good. It’s part of its sales pitch. But it's also quite possibly untrue.
** (p. 290)
* Even in a pointless universe, pointless happiness and pleasures are surely preferable to pointless suffering.
** (p. 307)
* Some may find these conclusions frightening, and perhaps that's an appropriate reaction. But then again, maybe it’s not. For it is certainly possible to frame an ethic consistent with the Darwinian view of the world. Such an ethic might emphasize the virtue of being honest enough and courageous enough to acknowledge unflinchingly that there is probably no God, no afterlife, and no soul; that there is no objective basis to morality or higher purpose behind our suffering; that we are insignificant in a vast and impersonal cosmos; that existence is ultimately without purpose or meaning; and that the effects of our actions will ultimately fade away without trace. It is admirable to acknowledge these uncongenial truths, yet to struggle on as if life were meaningful and strive to make the world a better place anyway, without promise of eternal reward or hope of ultimate victory, and indeed for no good reason at all.
** (p. 308)
* Of course, nothing can be said to argue that people are morally obliged to accept this ethic, for to do so would be inconsistent with the ideas that inspired it in the first place. It is an ethic that will be adopted – if at all – by those who find a certain stark beauty in kindness without reward, joy without purpose, and progress without lasting achievement.
** (p. 308)
=== ''The Ape that Thought It Was a Peacock: Does Evolutionary Psychology Exaggerate Human Sex Differences?'' (with Andrew G. Thomas; 2013) ===
Stewart-Williams, S., & Thomas, A. G. (2013). The ape that thought it was a peacock: Does evolutionary psychology exaggerate human sex differences? <I>Psychological Inquiry, 24</I>, 137-168.
* As a result of high levels of male parental investment, humans evolved into a somewhat “androgynous” species - a species in which human females exhibit traits generally found only in males (e.g., competition for mates) and human males exhibit traits generally found only in females (e.g., the provision of parental care; choosiness about mates).
** (p. 138)
* We are a species in which both sexes have their equivalents of the peacock’s tail. Indeed, when it comes to physical beauty, the usual sex difference has arguably been reversed: Females are the “showier” sex.
** (p. 139)
* For much of the 20th century, the blank slate view was the dominant view in the social sciences. With the popularization of [[sociobiology]] in the 1970s, however, evolutionary approaches to human behavior became the locus of an academic culture war between biologically minded thinkers and advocates of the traditional social science model.
** (p. 141)
* The pattern of sex differences found in our species mirrors that found in most mammals and in many other animals. As such, considerations of parsimony suggest that the best explanation for the human differences will invoke evolutionary forces common to many species, rather than social forces unique to our own. When we find the standard pattern of differences in other, less culture-bound creatures, we inevitably explain this in evolutionary terms. It seems highly dubious, when we find exactly the same pattern in human beings, to say that, in the case of this one primate species, we must explain it in terms of an entirely different set of causes — learning or cumulative culture — which coincidentally replicates the pattern found throughout the rest of the animal kingdom. Anyone who wishes to adopt this position has a formidable task in front of them. They must explain why, in the hominin lineage uniquely, the standard evolved psychological differences suddenly became maladaptive, and thus why natural selection “wiped the slate clean” of any biological contribution to these differences. They must explain why natural selection eliminated the psychological differences but left the correlated physical differences intact. And they must explain why natural selection would eliminate the psychological differences and leave it all to learning, when learning simply replicated the same sex differences anyway. How could natural selection favor extreme flexibility with respect to sex differences if that flexibility was never exercised and was therefore invisible to selection?
** (pp. 142-143)
*From a comparative perspective, we are a relatively monomorphic mammal, with relatively monomorphic minds.
** (p. 143)
* Human beings are an exception to many general rules in biology. In many species, female mate choice alone is important; in our species, male mate choice is important as well. In many species, males alone are showy and ornamented; in our species, females are as well. In many species, males alone compete for mates; in our species, females compete as well. In many species, males invest nothing other than sperm in their offspring; in our species, men typically invest a great deal. Not only are human beings exceptional in these ways, but they all tie together into a cohesive story.
** (p. 144)
* The idea that humans form pair bonds, and that males often invest in their young, has a long history in biological anthropology. Early incarnations of the idea were criticized for painting an overly simplistic picture, according to which “Man the Hunter” provisioned his dependent wife and children with meat in a stable nuclear family, suspiciously reminiscent of a 1950s-style Western family. However, with appropriate amendments and qualifications, the idea that pair bonding and biparental care are a central part of our evolutionary endowment appears to be viable.
** (p. 145)
* It is therefore a curious fact that our dominant mating system is more like the typical mating system of birds than that of most mammals, including our nearest relatives, the Great Apes.
** (p. 145)
* Our claim is not that pair bonding is humanity’s singular mating pattern. Our claim instead is simply that the pair bond is the most common setting for sex and reproduction in our species, that it has been for a long time, and that this has left a deep imprint on our evolved nature.
** (p. 145)
* Human beings are, by nature, the kind of animal that falls in love. The cross-cultural record also suggests that humans are also the kind of animal that commonly provides biparental care for its young. In 95% to 97% of mammalian species, only the females care for the young. We would no more expect males in these species to invest in their offspring than we would expect them to get pregnant or lactate. Humans are not like that.
** (p. 147)
* In some domains, women are more sexually selected than men; one could say in these cases that women have the larger “peacock’s tail.” An example can be found in the domain of physical attractiveness. Women are typically rated as better looking than men, by both men and women. The difference is plausibly a consequence of the fact that, although both sexes care about good looks in a mate, on average, men care somewhat more. This means that, since this sex difference first evolved, there has been a somewhat stronger selection pressure on women than men for physical attractiveness — the opposite of what we find in peacocks.
** (p. 149)
* If men in our evolutionary past did not invest in offspring, they would not have evolved strict mate preferences and thus women would be as drab as peahens. The fact that women are <I>not</I> as drab as peahens suggests a long history of male mate choice, which in turn suggests a long history of pair bonding and high male parental investment.
** (p. 149)
* Most male gorillas either have a harem or do not have a mate; in contrast, most men who have more than zero mates have only one. This means that, whereas only harem-holding male gorillas contribute to the gene pool of the next generation, most human males who contribute to the gene pool do so in the context of a pair bond. Consequently, our evolved sexual nature has been shaped more by pair bonding than by harem polygyny.
** (p. 150)
* However, the absence of perfect concealment does not imply the presence of active advertisement, and if fertility were advertised in humans, we would presumably not need to employ sophisticated experimental methods to demonstrate its detectability.
** (p. 151)
* To the extent that we accept this view, we effectively mistake ourselves for highly dimorphic animals such as peacocks or deer.
** (p. 153)
* Think about some of the highest status men in modern societies: sports stars, rock stars, politicians. At first glance, it might seem that these individuals provide further proof of men’s polygynous nature: They are often notorious for their sexual antics and infidelities (the famous scandal with Tiger Woods is a case in point)... However, the picture is not so simple. Many of these men are in the position where they have essentially an unlimited supply of potential sexual partners. Do all of them or even most of them eschew long-term relationships and opt instead for as many one-night stands and brief love affairs as possible? Sometimes, perhaps, but often they do not. These men — the most eligible bachelors, the highest status males in our species — often do what male chimpanzees never do: They fall in love and form long-term pair bonds.
** (pp. 156-157)
* The idea that women are the choosier sex is one of the best-known claims associated with EP [evolutionary psychology]. Ironically, another of the best-known claims associated with EP is an exception to this rule: On average, men are choosier than women when it comes to the physical attractiveness of a prospective mate. Even if we put this counterexample aside, though, the statement “females are choosier than males,” although true of many species, does not apply easily to our own. It is true that men may sometimes be more willing than women to lower their standards for a casual sexual partner. However, when it comes to the most important mating decisions of a man’s life — who he will marry, who he will have children with — the difference in choosiness is much smaller and maybe nonexistent. This fact of human life is even implicit in everyday folk psychology; the stereotype is that men will “sleep with anything that moves,” not that they will marry or have children with anything that moves. In long-term, committed relationships, men are about as choosy as women.
** (p. 157)
* Language, intelligence, and humor, along with art, generosity, and musical ability, are often described as human equivalents of the peacock’s tail. However, peacocks afford a poor analogy for the role of courtship displays in humans. Other animal models offer a better fit. In a number of nonhuman species — species as diverse as sea dragons and grebes — males and females engage in a mutual courtship “dance,” in which the two partners mirror one another’s movements. In Clark’s grebes and Western grebes, for instance, the pair bond ritual culminates in the famous courtship rush: The male and female swim side by side along the top of the water, with their wings back and their heads and necks in a stereotyped posture. If we want a nonhuman analogue for the role of creative intelligence or humor in human courtship, we should think not of ornamented peacocks displaying while drab females evaluate them. We should think instead of grebes engaged in their mating rush or sea dragons engaged in their synchronized mirror dance. Once we have one of these alternative images fixed in our minds, we can then add the proviso that there is a slight skew such that, in the early stages of courtship, men tend to display more vigorously and women tend to be choosier. However, this should be seen as a qualification to the primary message that intelligence, humor, and other forms of sexual display are part of the mutual courtship process in our species.

* Most effects in psychology are relatively unimportant. That is, most variables, considered in isolation, have relatively little impact on behavior. This doesn't mean... that we should all abandon psychology and become plumbers instead. The small magnitude of most effects in psychology is itself a discovery of psychology. One might argue, in fact, that it is one of the great metadiscoveries of the field. Most variables have little impact, and thus most of the phenomena studied by psychologists are products of a multiplicity of variables.
** (p. 251)
* The reproductive benefits of polygyny were so great for genes located in male bodies that the male mind might still have evolved to take advantage of those opportunities, if and when they did arise. As a result, men may harbor strong polygamous desires — much stronger than women’s — even if these desires are frustrated for most men throughout most of their lives.
** (p. 255)
* Just as our tools evolved culturally to fit our hands, so too our social roles evolved culturally to fit persisting aspects of the human mind. Roles that jar too violently with human nature are unlikely to persist for long, at least without the application of significant social force. If this is correct, it raises the possibility that some social roles might have evolved culturally to fit traits that, although found in both sexes, are more common in one than the other. This is emphatically <I>not</I> to say that there are some male roles and some female roles. But it is to suggest that there might be some social roles that suit more men than women, and others that suit more women than men — not just because of evolved physical differences but because of evolved psychological differences as well.
** (p. 261)
* Imagine that a zoologist from Mars was sent to Earth to study elephants, and that it had never seen one before. Its initial observation upon seeing a herd of elephants for the first time would presumably <I>not</I> be: “Wow! On average, the males are somewhat larger than the females!” It would be: “Wow! Those are large animals!” A follow-up observation would be the average sex difference in size. However, this would be a qualification to the initial observation — a peripheral rather than a central claim about the morphology of elephants. If, in its subsequent report, the Martian zoologist began by highlighting the sex difference and barely mentioned that elephants are, first and foremost, large animals, we should not be surprised if other Martians got the wrong idea.
** (p. 266)
* The distinction between central and peripheral claims is applicable to many aspects of human sexuality. Consider, for instance, the emotion of jealousy. Evolutionary psychologists place a strong emphasis on sex differences in this domain. The standard claim is that men are more worried by a partner’s sexual infidelity than emotional infidelity, whereas women are more worried by a partner’s emotional infidelity... [However] the overwhelming trend is that most men and most women are extremely upset by both sexual <I>and</I> emotional infidelity. This suggests that the central EP claim regarding jealousy should be “Human beings evolved to experience jealousy in romantic relationships” rather than “Men and women evolved different patterns of jealousy.” The latter statement is true but should be considered a qualification to the former: a peripheral rather than a central claim. To stress the sex difference alone would be like observing that male elephants are bigger than females while steadfastly neglecting to mention that all adult elephants are large compared to most terrestrial animals. It would almost certainly foster an inaccurate view.
** (pp. 266-267)
* A similar analysis applies within the realm of mate preferences. Several commentators pointed out that sex differences in human mate preferences are generally quite small... As such, the central claim in EP [evolutionary psychology] should probably be "Human beings evolved to put a fair amount of weight on good looks in a mate" rather than "Men evolved to put more weight on good looks than women." Again, the latter statement is true but potentially misleading. This sounds like a contradiction, but it is not; the statement is misleading <I>if</I> it is given undue weight.
** (p. 267)
* When it comes to the traits we consider most important in a long-term mate, human beings are largely monomorphic. This is one of the most significant findings of these studies; however, it is easily overlooked when the discussion becomes fixated on traits that people consider less important but where sex differences are found. By shining a spotlight on these traits, we may create an inaccurate picture of our species, <I>even though the differences are real</I>. Our picture of human nature may be built on a foundation of exceptions to the rule. The rule — the fact that males and females in our species are surprisingly similar in many ways — may be relegated to the background. By taking genuine differences and then exaggerating their importance, our picture of our evolved nature may become a caricature: It may contain a recognizable grain of truth but distort its object.
** (p. 267)
* A danger in emphasizing mean values for each sex is that these values may be projected onto all or most normally developing men and women. The mean may be treated as a description of the typical group member, despite the fact that the majority of individuals fall above or below it. Psychologists do make some effort to stress that means cannot be attributed to all members of any group, as evidenced by the fact that we often append the phrase “on average” to our descriptions of mean differences. But is this enough? Consider again the robust sex difference in willingness to engage in casual sex: The mean SO [sociosexuality] score for men is higher than that for women. What does this tell us, though, about <I>individual</I> men and women? It clearly does not tell us that all men are interested in casual sex and that all women are not. However, given the degree of overlap between the male and female distributions, it also does not tell us that <I>a large majority</I> of men are more interested in casual sex than a large majority of women. That is, it is not accurate to say even that “men are <I>typically</I> more interested in casual sex than women, but there are of course exceptions.” Here is what the data that the means are drawn from actually tell us:
** Men and women can be found at virtually every level of interest in casual sex. At the right-hand tail of the distribution, only a small number of people are strongly interested in casual sex; however, of these people, more are men than women. At the left-hand tail, only a small number of people are strongly <I>dis</I>interested in casual sex; however, of these people, more are women than men. Most people — men <I>and</I> women — fall somewhere in between. If you were to choose one man and one woman at random, it would be somewhat more likely that the man would have higher SO. However, you wouldn't want to bet your life savings on it. Around a third of the time — i.e., closer to 50% than to 0% — the woman would have higher SO.
* If this is not what springs immediately to mind as soon as the words “on average” are appended to a description of mean differences, then the words “on average” have not rectified the damage done by the use of means to describe populations of varied individuals.
** (p. 268)
* This is especially important when addressing less statistically savvy audiences. Such audiences could perhaps be encouraged to think of two normal distributions, one representing males and the other females. Instead of imagining that natural selection creates two distinct psychological types — a male type and a female type, described by the mean values for each group — they could be encouraged to imagine that natural selection pushes the male and female distributions closer together or further apart. This simple expedient may help people to visualize the effects of natural selection on average sex differences without at the same time losing sight of the variation within each sex.

* Seen through a Darwinian lens, men’s stronger interest in a partner’s looks is initially quite mysterious. In most species, it’s the females that care more about looks. Among peacocks, for instance, peahens will only mate with the males with the sexiest tails; males, in contrast, are less shallow and will mate with any female who’ll have them. If peacocks had pornography, it would be the females, not the males, that would spend their time staring at images of the other sex, and the males that would complain about being treated as sex objects. And what’s true of peacocks is true as well of most animals. In our species, however, it’s the other way around. Why?

* During the heyday of European colonialism, a number of indigenous groups came to the view that, if they had faith, the Europeans’ bullets couldn’t harm them. Needless to say, this meme had disastrous consequences. One group infected with the meme – the Mahdists of Sudan – lost 11,000 men in a single battle to the bullets of Kitchener’s army. This was bad for them obviously, but it was also bad for the meme. In effect, the meme removed itself from the meme pool through its effects on its hosts’ behavior.

* Whether a trait is natural or unnatural is irrelevant to the question of whether it’s good.

=== ''Men, Women and STEM: Why the Differences and What Should be Done?'' (with Lewis G. Halsey; 2021)===
* [This] paper has two main aims. The first is to examine the evidence that factors other than workplace discrimination contribute to the gender gaps in STEM. These include relatively large average sex differences in career and lifestyle preferences, and relatively small average differences in cognitive aptitudes – some favouring males, others favouring females – which are associated with progressively larger differences the further above the average one looks. The second aim is to examine the evidence suggesting that these sex differences are not purely a product of social factors but also have a substantial biological (i.e. inherited) component.
** (p. 3)
* Members of both sexes can be found at every point on the things vs. people continuum; however, more men than women exhibit a stronger interest in things, whereas more women than men exhibit a stronger interest in people... To get an intuitive sense of the magnitude of the difference, if one were to pick pairs of people at random, one man and one woman, the man would be more things-oriented than the woman around 75% of the time.
** (pp. 4-5)
* [I]f we make the reasonable ballpark assumption that people working in a given field tend to come from the 25% of people most interested in that field, sex differences in occupational interests would account for the entirety of the engineering gender gap and much of the gap in science and mathematics.
** (p. 5)
* Sex differences in occupational preferences and priorities suggest one possible reason that more men than women go into maths-intensive STEM fields. The reason, put simply, is that more men than women <i>want</i> to go into these fields.
** (p. 5)
* [T]he same sex differences in occupational preferences have been found in every society where psychologists have looked for them. In one large study (N ≈ 200,000), Lippa found the differences in 53 out of 53 nations: a level of cross-cultural unanimity almost unheard of within psychology.
** (p. 6)
* First, the claim is not that men perform better than women in every cognitive domain. On the contrary, men perform better in some domains whereas women perform better in others. The best-known examples are that men score higher than women on most tests of spatial ability, whereas women score higher than men on most tests of language ability, including verbal comprehension, reading, and writing... Second, even in areas where men do perform better, the claim is not that all men – or even most – perform better than all or most women. As with occupational preferences, members of both sexes vary enormously in every cognitive aptitude, and the distribution for men overlaps almost entirely with that for women. However, for some aptitudes, the distribution for one sex is shifted somewhat to the right of that for the other, such that the average score for the former is somewhat higher. In saying this, it’s worth stressing that the average score does not describe all members of the group, or even the typical member, but merely represents the central tendency within a broad array of scores. Most people fall above or below the average. Third, the claim is not that these cognitive sex differences are especially large. On the contrary, at the centre of the distribution, they tend to be quite small. The only reason they matter at all is that even small differences at the mean are associated with progressively larger differences the further from the mean one looks... Fourth, the claim is not that women lack the cognitive talents to make it in STEM. <i>Most</i> people lack the cognitive talents, and of those who do possess them, some are men and some are women.
** (pp. 7-8)
* [A]mong the minority of people who possess exceptional mathematical abilities, the women are more likely to possess exceptional language abilities as well. This means that mathematically gifted women have more vocational options than their male counterparts, and consequently that fewer mathematically gifted women end up pursuing a STEM career. To the extent that this explains the gender gap in maths-intensive fields, the gap results not from mathematically gifted women having fewer options, but rather from them having more.
** (p. 9)
* [Sociocultural] explanations are vulnerable to a number of criticisms. To begin with, it is unclear to what extent current social influences actually point in the direction these explanations presuppose. According to one study, by four years of age, girls tend to assume that boys are academically inferior, and by seven, boys assume the same thing. Similarly, teachers tend to view their female students as superior at maths and reading, even when aptitude tests indicate that the boys are doing better. Popular culture often mirrors these trends, with girls depicted as academically superior to boys (consider, for instance, Bart and Lisa from <i>The Simpsons</i>, and Ron and Hermione from the <i>Harry Potter</i> series.
** (p. 10)
* [A] large meta-analysis by Xu et al. (N = 254,231) concluded that gay men tend to have spatial and linguistic abilities comparable to those of straight women, whereas lesbians tend to have spatial abilities comparable to those of straight men (but female-typical linguistic abilities)... Gay men were presumably subject to essentially the same gender-specific social forces as straight men, and lesbians the same gender-specific social forces as straight women. As such, the near-reversal of the usual spatial vs. language pattern is hard to reconcile with the claim that this pattern is due largely to social forces.
** (pp. 11-12)
* [T]he evidence for discrimination in STEM is considerably more mixed than is often assumed. Certainly, many studies have found evidence of anti-female discrimination in STEM. At the same time, however, many other studies have failed to find such discrimination, or have found discrimination in <i>favour</i> of women.
** (p. 17)
* Real-world data going back to the 1980s suggest that, although fewer women apply for jobs in fields such as maths, physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering, those who do apply are no less likely to be interviewed and no less likely to be offered the job. On the contrary, they are generally <i>more</i> likely to be.
** (p. 17)
* In the quest to promote women in STEM, academics and activists may sometimes inadvertently overstate the ubiquity of bias and discrimination against women in this sector. An unintended consequence may be to scare away some women who would otherwise be interested in a STEM career... If women are given the impression that the STEM workplace is a hotbed of sexism and an unwelcome place for women, many might quite understandably decide to look for other fields in which to make their mark.
** (p. 19)
* Several studies have concluded that tests of implicit bias (in particular, the <i>Implicit Association Test</i> or <i>IAT</i>) have poor test-retest reliability, and fail to predict discriminatory behaviour. Furthermore, though interventions may change people’s implicit biases to some degree – or do so, at least, in the short-term – the effects of such changes on behaviour are trivially small or non-existent, even in the immediate wake of the intervention.
** (p. 22)
* [O]ne of the main moral foundations of the women’s liberation movement – and indeed of all liberation movements – is the idea that individuals should be treated fairly and equally, and that unjust barriers should be removed. A policy that advantages members of one demographic group over those of another necessarily abandons those principles. In doing so, it risks leaving the women’s movement without one of its main moral foundations.
** (p. 22)
* Why should any individual woman today be advantaged over any individual man just because <i>other</i> men were advantaged over other women in the past? Reversing historical injustices does not erase them; it merely adds to the total number of injustices in the world. The question we face today, therefore, is this: Is the appropriate response to injustice to try to eliminate it, or to turn it on its head?
** (p. 22)
* [I]t is not only men who may be harmed by preferences and quotas. In a number of ways, women could be harmed as well. To begin with, such policies could cast a shadow of doubt over women’s genuine accomplishments.
** (p. 22)
* Most women do not want a career in STEM and nor do most men. Why should the small fraction of women who <i>do</i> want such a career be the same size as the small fraction of men? To put it another way, as long as everyone has the opportunity to pursue a STEM career, and as long as the selection process is fair, why would it be important to get as many women as men into jobs that fewer women want?
** (p. 24)
* [P]olicies that artificially engineer gender parity – financial incentives and quotas, for instance – could potentially <i>lower</i> aggregate happiness. To the extent that these policies work, they necessarily mean that some people will be funnelled into occupations that are less in line with their tastes and talents.
** (p. 24)
* Why should we put a statistical, collective goal – i.e., more equal sex ratios in STEM – above the happiness and autonomy of the flesh-and-blood individuals who constitute those collectives? Why should policy makers’ preference for gender parity take precedence over individual men and women’s preferences regarding their own careers and lives?
** (p. 25)
* A growing body of work suggests that, in nations with greater wealth and higher levels of gender equality, sex differences are often larger than they are in less wealthy, less equal nations... [R]ather than being products of a sexist or oppressive society, these differences may be indicators of the opposite: a comparatively free and fair one. If so, this casts society’s efforts to minimize the sex differences in an entirely new light. Rather than furthering gender equality, such efforts may involve attacking a positive symptom of gender equality. By mistaking the fruits of our freedom for evidence of oppression, we may institute policies that, at best, burn up time and resources in a futile effort to cure a “disease” that isn’t actually a disease, and at worst actively limit people’s freedom to pursue their own interests and ambitions on a fair and level playing field.
** (p. 25)
* [T]he strong emphasis on increasing the numbers of women in male-dominated fields is arguably somewhat sexist. As Susan Pinker argues, it tacitly assumes that women do not know what they want, or that they want the wrong things and thus that wiser third-parties need to “fix” their existing preferences. It also tacitly assumes that the areas where men dominate are superior.
** (p. 25)
* Based on the foregoing discussion, we suggest that the approach that would be most conducive to maximizing individual happiness and autonomy would be to strive for equality of opportunity, but then to respect men and women’s decisions regarding their own lives and careers, even if this does not result in gender parity across all fields. Approaches that focus instead on equality of <i>outcomes</i> – including quotas and financial inducements – may exact a toll in terms of individual happiness. To the extent that these policies override people’s preferences, they effectively place the goal of equalizing the statistical properties of groups above the happiness and autonomy of the individuals within those groups.
** (p. 26)
=== ''Not Biology or Culture Alone: Response to El-Hout et al. (2021)'' (with Lewis G. Halsey; 2021)===
* Although men and women are roughly equally represented in STEM overall, in certain fields, the sex ratios are somewhat unbalanced. More women than men are found in health-related fields, for instance, whereas more men than women are found in fields such as computer science, engineering, and physics.
** (p. 1)
* Sex differences in various psychological traits – in particular, average differences in career-related interests – contribute more to STEM gender gaps than is often assumed. These differences are not due solely to learning, but have a biological component as well... Certainly, the evidence for a biological contribution is not beyond criticism. We suggest, however, that the totality of the evidence renders the Nurture-Only view considerably less plausible than the Nature-Plus-Nurture alternative. The evidence we find most compelling includes the stubbornness of the sex differences over time, even despite efforts to eradicate them; the cross-cultural consistency of the differences; the early appearance of some differences during development; evidence linking the traits in question to prenatal hormonal exposure; and in some cases, comparable differences in evolutionarily relevant nonhuman animals. Each of these findings would be more surprising if the relevant sex differences were due solely to culture than if biology were also involved. And although alternative explanations for any particular finding are always possible, the convergence of these very different lines of evidence adds up to a strong <i>prima facie</i> case for a non-trivial biological contribution.
** (pp. 1-2)
* [I]t is widely accepted these days that people should be treated fairly and respectfully regardless of whether they buck the trend for their sex, and no ethical theory we’re familiar with implies that this is only the case if the trend in question is 100% environmental in origin.
** (p. 3)
* [A]lthough we agree that caution should be exercised in discussing biological explanations, we would argue that this is a specific instance of a more general truth, namely that caution should be exercised in discussing any explanations. It is not only biological explanations that can undergird harmful practices. Environmental theories of left-handedness and same-sex sexual orientation, for instance, have been associated with cruel and unnecessary interventions designed to eradicate these innocuous traits. Environmental theories of human sex differences, if taken to extremes, could potentially produce comparable harms. For example, if we assume that sex differences in career choice are necessarily evidence of bias and barriers, and never products of the freely made choices of those best-placed to make them, we may pathologise the decisions of individuals who take a gender-typical path, and enact progressively more coercive practices to eliminate the remaining gaps. Like earlier efforts to force people into the mould of traditional gender stereotypes, such practices may mean that some people are funnelled into careers that do not align well with their interests and inclinations.
** (p. 3)
* The evidence for bias in STEM is mixed: Although some studies find bias against women, others find none or bias in women’s favour... The mixed findings suggest that narrow-sense anti-female bias is less ubiquitous than sometimes assumed – or that different people have different biases, and these sometimes favour males but sometimes favour females.
** (pp. 1, 4)
* [W]e should strive to eliminate bias and barriers of every kind... What we would argue, though, is that even if this were achieved, STEM gender gaps would be unlikely to disappear given persistent sex differences in interests and other STEM-relevant traits – differences plausibly due in part to biological causes. The question, then, is: Would this necessarily be a problem? In our view, as long as unjust impediments are removed, and everyone is invited, it would not be. On the contrary, it would be unfortunate if, for all the talk of celebrating differences and diversity, we ultimately came to insist that justice requires sameness.

* In our species, both sexes are choosy about their long-term mates, and both compete among themselves for the best mates on offer. For that reason, both sexes have their equivalents of the peacock’s tail and the deer’s antlers. Indeed, when it comes to physical attractiveness, females in our species have the larger “peacock’s tail”: a reversal of the usual pattern in nature. It’s all very weird.

* According to an old joke, everyone knows that men and women are different… except social scientists. Plenty of research reveals the truth in the jest. One study, for example, found that social scientists are more likely than civilians to chalk up sex differences to nurture rather than nature, and that this even extends to differences between hens and roosters. As we’ll see later, even when it comes to humans, the evidence sides with the civilians, making this one area where laypeople have a firmer grasp on reality than many alleged experts – and one area where academia seems to impair people’s understanding of the world rather than improving it.
** (pp. 17-18)
* If variation and overlap imply that sex differences in brain, mind, and behaviour aren’t really real or important, they equally imply that sex differences in earnings aren’t really real or important – and the same for sex differences in power, privilege, and many other areas central to the activist worldview. The inconsistency in the treatment of the gaps has a political explanation, not a scientific one: The overlap argument is levelled selectively against differences the levellers want to minimize.
** (p. 19)
* A vocal minority see positing sex differences as more than a mere faux pas or difference of opinion, and view it instead as a moral transgression. For individuals in this camp, the idea that the sexes are naturally identical has become a sacred belief. Disagreement is seen not as an honest mistake or interesting challenge to be evaluated, but as sacrilege. And the typical response to sacrilege isn’t a tolerant appreciation of the wonderful diversity of human lifeways: “Well, I’m not personally into sacrilege, but if other people are, who am I to judge?” Instead, the typical response is to censor, to silence, to cancel, punish, and shun.

But the accusation can be turned on its head. The idea that such claims are sexist only makes sense if we tacitly assume that the female-typical tendencies are inferior. Why else would it be disparaging to women to say that more women than men exhibit these tendencies? But if women really are more parental than men, or if they really are more interested in working with people, then we’re taking a negative view of traits that are more characteristic of women than men. <i>That’s</i> sexist!

* Even in the healthiest of relationships, a spouse’s or lover’s happiness isn’t necessarily our own. It’s rarely the case, for example, that upon hearing about a partner’s infidelity, people say “Oh, that’s nice! I love my partner, and I’m sure they had fun – so this is great news!”

This is a good illustration of a pervasive pattern, which applies as well to the workplace. According to one study, for example, part of the reason that men start more new businesses than women – and therefore that they succeed <i>and fail</i> more than women – is that more men than women are overconfident.
** (p. 258)
* It is true that women get fewer jobs in math-heavy STEM fields. But that’s only because fewer women apply for them. Those who <i>do</i> apply are generally <i>more</i> likely than men to be interviewed and more likely to get the job.
** (pp. 259-260)
* Strictly speaking, the goal of these efforts isn’t a 50:50 sex ratio in every field. If that were the case, policymakers and activists would be just as worried that more women than men go into the social sciences, health sciences, and humanities as they are that more men than women go into computer science, engineering, and physics – and they’d be just as worried that more men than women work as garbage collectors as they are that more men than women are CEOs. Clearly, they’re not nearly as worried. This tells us that the implicit goal isn’t 50% men and 50% women in every field; it’s <i>at least</i> 50% women in every <i>desirable</i> field.
** (p. 267-268)
* Gender-role traditionalists assume that sex differences are natural, and therefore that they’re good. Gender-role progressives assume that sex differences are <i>bad</i>, and therefore that they’re not natural – or they assume that the <i>absence</i> of sex differences is natural, and therefore that the <i>absence</i> of sex differences is good, and that that’s what we ought to strive for.
** (p. 271)
* Men are naturally more violent than women, and male violence is the cause of much needless suffering in the world. We therefore have every right to stifle it, in the process narrowing the sex difference. Again, though, the rationale for this isn’t that sex differences are bad; it’s that violence is bad. After all, another way to narrow the sex difference would be to ensure that women are as violent as men. But that wouldn’t make the world a better place; it’d make it a worse one.
** (p. 274)
* We should treat individuals as individuals, rather than as instantiations of the statistical properties of the groups to which they belong. In other words, we should judge people by the content of their characters, not their sex chromosomes.
** (pp. 276-277)

A '''[[w:Militant|militant]]''' is a person who subscribes to the idea of using vigorous, sometimes extreme, activity to achieve an objective, usually political.
{{theme-stub}}
==Quotes==
* [[Capitalism]] is an exploitative system, as [[Karl Marx|Marx]] has argued so cogently, and as anyone who studies the inequalities [[economic inequality|within]] and [[Colonialism|between]] the countries of the world today must see. It is therefore ''a priori'' likely that its [[ideology]] conceals realities that if known would make the exploited militant.
** [[Andrew Collier (philosopher)|Andrew Collier]], in ''Transcendence: Critical Realism and God'' (2013) p. 85
* Militancy no longer means guns at high noon, if it ever did. It means actively working for [[change]], sometimes in the absence of any surety that change is coming. It means doing the unromantic and tedious work necessary to forge meaningful {{w|coalition}}s, and it means recognizing which coalitions are possible and which coalitions are not. It means knowing that coalition, like [[unity]], means the coming together of [[Holism|whole]], [[w:Self-actualization|self-actualized]] [[human]] [[being]]s, focused and [[Belief|believing]], not fragmented {{w|automaton}}s marching to a prescribed step. It means [[fighting]] [[despair]].
** [[Audre Lorde]], ''Learning from the 60s'', {{cite book |title={{w|Sister Outsider}}: Essays and Speeches |date=1984 |publisher=Crossing Press |isbn=978-0-89594-142-8}}
* Not even when the [[Politics|political]] [[freedom]] of a nation is at stake should the [[Christianity|Christian]] militant make use of an unchristian weapon. The following of [[Jesus]] [[Christ]] is infinitely more important than the maintenance of political liberty at the expense of his [[principles]].
** [[Kirby Page]], ''The Sword or the Cross, Which Should be the Weapon of the Christian Militant?'' (1921), p. 100

[[File:Derryn Hinch.jpg|thumb|Hinch at Australian Commercial Radio Awards, in October 2012]]
'''[[w:Derryn Hinch|Derryn Nigel Hinch]]''' ([[9 February]] [[1944]] – [[10 July]] [[2026]]) was a New Zealand-born Australian-citizen media personality, best known for his work on Melbourne radio and television.
== Quotes ==
* You all should feel angry tonight, very angry, because yet again the legal system in this country has let you down. A court has ruled that a man who committed a ghastly crime against a little girl should walk free and unsupervised. The details are distasteful, but you should know. Hans Lester Watt abducted and raped a three-year-old girl. The 42-year-old was drunk when he took the toddler, and assulted her so badly, she needed medical attention. He said it was revenge, to get back at the innocent little girl's grandmother, whom he claimed had insulted his dead mother. Watt was jailed for 11 years. When due for release last year, the Queensland Attorney-General, understandably, applied to have him classified as a dangerous sexual offender. That meant his jail term could be extended, or at least he'd be released with a supervision order. Remember, this was a three-year-old girl. The court refused the request. The judge found the circumstances were "unique" — that Watt was not an unacceptable risk. Well, I agree it was unique — thank God the rape of a three-year-old doesn't happen often in this country. A psychiatrist said the chances of Watt re-offending were low if he did not drink alcohol, moderate if he did drink, and said the best chance of rehabilitation was if he lived in a dry Aboriginal community. The Attorney-General appealed the judge's decision. Well, yesterday, the Supreme Court turned him down, upheld the earlier ruling that let the child rapist walk free — unsupervised. My mantra for years has been "Who's looking after the children?" In my opinion, the Queensland Supreme Court certainly is not — this decision was a travesty.
** ''Today Tonight'', 24 April 2013.
* Either I am going mad, or this country has lost its marbles, especially when it comes to our legal system. Listen to this. A child murderer had been awarded compensation because the food in jail did not cater for his Islamic beliefs — it was not halal. Halal food bans pork, and all other animals must be slaughtered in a certain way. I didn't know you had to kill cabbages. The baby killer is a Muslim. For four months, in the Maryborough Correctional Centre, he was fed a vegetarian diet. He complained to QCAT (the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal), and he got $3000. When I tell you what this callous bastard did, I think you'll agree he's lucky to even get bread and water. In some countries, he wouldn't still be alive to even ''get'' a meal. Raymond Akhtar Ali ran an halal butcher's shop. He was married, but started having an affair with a 22-year-old employee, Amanda Blackwell. The Supreme Court was told she become his "sex slave"; he got her pregnant. When the baby was born in secret, this devout Muslim killed the child, and the butcher, butchered the baby. The dismemebered body was buried throughout his house. In 2000, Ali was sentenced to life imprisonment. And this killer, due for parole next year, had the audacity to complain about the jail food. So he was fed vegetables. So what? This is a sick joke.
** ''Today Tonight'', 15 August 2013.
* Some of the bravest people in Australia are the men and women, mostly volunteers, who take on one of the deadliest enemies on this planet — bushfires. Even the word spells fear. It's only October, early for bushfires, and yet already firefighters have risked their lives in several states. And that's why I regard arsonists among the lowest of the low. Human rejects, cowards who deliberately light fires, that tear apart this tenderbox country, and put lives at risk. I want you to meet one of these serious criminals, because that's what they are. His name is Alex Gordon Noble. He lit at least ten fires, probably more, in country New South Wales over the past two months. Why did he do it? Because he was bored. And to make it even worse, he is a traitor, he was a volunteer firefighter, what firemen call the ultimate betrayal. Light a fire, sound the alarm, be a hero, helping to put it out. According to police, the 21-year-old crane driver called triple-0 seventeen times. One of his fires closed the Pacific Highway, and tied the helicopters, police and firemen for hours. He has pleaded guilty in court after turning himself into a Tronoto police station. But don't be impressed — he only did it after police visited him to question him about a fire he denied lighting. Alex Gordon Noble has been granted bail. He should not be out, he is a menace to society. I believe that fire bugs should have heavy jail sentences. They are sick, but give them treatment inside prison. This country is too vulnerable at this time of year for leniency. Ask any firefighter.
** ''Today Tonight'', 4 October 2013.
* Recently, I was evicted of [[w:Contempt of court|contempt of court]] over my online editorial about (bleep). I was sentenced to pay a $100,000 fine, or go to jail for 50 days. I believe this was the highest personal fine ever issued in Australia. Other websites, newspapers, and radio stations were not charged for similar or even more controversial material. Yet the judge attacked me for portraying myself as a scapegoat — a whipping boy — and he punished me accordingly. Now it is true, I have prior convictions. In 1987, I was fined $15,000 and jailed for exposing a paedophile priest [[w:Michael Glennon (former priest)|Michael Glennon]]. Glennon had already been to jail for raping a 10-year-old girl, but was still running a camp for kids in country Victoria. And he was still a Catholic priest. He eventually went to jail, and he died behind bars several weeks ago. And to be honest, I feel good about that — he was an evil, evil man. I also spent five months under house arrest in 2011 for breaching court suppression orders, revealing the names of two serial sex offenders at a rally outside Victoria's Parliament House. About 4000 other people also shouted their names. That one cost me my radio job at 3AW. And I was fined and did 250 hours of community service for naming a judge who ruled that a man could not be charged for raping his wife under a 300-year-old British law. In Victoria, that law has since been changed. Now, here we go again. I have made a decision not taken lightly. On principle, I will not pay the $100,000 fine, which was due today. Instead, I'll go to jail. I'll go to jail for 50 days; to draw attention to all the suspended sentences for crimes of violence and child pornography; for the obscenely short sentences given to king hit killers; to draw attention to my campaign for a national register of convicted sex offenders. Already, 30,000 of you have signed up. I'm happy to serve just 50 days of the many years that the convicted paedophile ex-magistrate should be serving. That pervert, Simon Cooper, wasn't even put on the sex offenders register. If my going to jail draws attention to the judges and magistrates, out of touch with community expectations and your safety, then every one of my 50 days behind bars will be worth it. And so I'll go to jail.

*The [[Nazism|Nazis]] and [[Soviet Union|Soviets]] both had a powerful story about who was to blame for the [[Great Depression]] ([[Judaism|Jewish]] capitalists or just [[Capitalism|capitalists]]) and authentically radical approaches to [[political economy]]. The Nazis and Soviets not only rejected the legal and political form of the [[w:Interwar_period|postwar order]] but also questioned its economic and social basis. They reached back to the economic and social roots of postwar [[Europe]], and reconsidered the lives and roles of the men and women who worked the land. In the Europe of the 1930s, peasants were still the majority in most countries, and arable [[soil]] was a precious natural resource, bringing [[energy]] for [[Economics|economies]] still powered by [[animals]] and [[Human|humans]]. [[Calories]] were counted, but for rather different reasons than they are counted now: [[Planned economy|economic planners]] had to make sure that [[Population|populations]] could be kept fed, alive, and productive. Most of the states of Europe had no prospect of social transformation, and thus little ability to rival or counter the Nazis and the Soviets. [[Poland]] and other new [[Eastern Europe|east European]] states had tried [[w:Land reform|land reform]] in the 1920s, but their efforts had proven insufficient. [[Landlord|Landlords]] lobbied to keep their [[property]], and [[Banking|banks]] and [[State|states]] were miserly with [[credit]] to peasants. The end of [[democracy]] across the region (except in [[w:Czechoslovakia|Czechoslovakia]]) at first brought little new thinking on economic matters.

* [[Laissez-faire|Capitalists preach “the market”]] for the working class – stand on your own two feet, don’t rely [[w:Economic interventionism|on the government]] – but themselves sponge off the public big time.

[[w:Automotive industry in Australia|The vehicle manufacturers]] raked in hundreds of millions a year from the {{w|Australian government}} for decades until deciding it wasn’t enough and went overseas. This is why [[w:Big business|big companies]] and [[industry]] groups hire armies of [[w:Revolving door (politics)|former politicians to lobby]] on their behalf in the offices of [[w:Premiers and chief ministers of the Australian states and territories|premiers]] and [[w:Prime Minister of Australia|prime ministers]] – there’s money in government coffers and they want it. And while the capitalists talk about “the market” setting [[wages]] for workers, in reality, they don’t really allow the market to do the job. They use the whole apparatus of [[Oppression|state repression]], the [[w:Labor court|industrial tribunals]], the [[police]], the courts to suppress [[w:Labor rights|workers]]’ [[Freedom of association|rights to organise]] to pursue their demands. But when a [[w:Financial crisis|crisis]] hits all the bullshit about the market is thrown to the winds. And that is just what we are seeing now. Faced with the [[w:Economic collapse|collapse]] of the [[capitalist]] economy, for the second time in a dozen years, with massive bankruptcies on the table and the [[stock market]] plunging by more than 30 percent and more to come, fervent advocates of the [[free market]] are now embracing [[w:Economic interventionism|government intervention]] to save their skins.

These are crises that are experienced personally but are really a collective crisis of everyday life for working class people. But when we ask for governments to respond, we are told that addressing these things collectively is not possible, and that this is just the way things are. But when the capitalist system goes into crisis, governments act promptly. It turns out that political decisions about the economy are possible and it is wholly possible for governments to tell the markets to go jump.

* What the [[Working class in the United States|workingmen of the country]] are profoundly interested in is the [[private ownership]] of the [[means of production]] and distribution, the enslaving and degrading [[wage]]-system in which they toil for a pittance at the pleasure of their masters and are bludgeoned, jailed or shot when they protest — this is the central, controlling, vital issue of the hour, and neither of the old party platforms has a word or even a hint about it. <br> As a rule, large capitalists are [[Republicans]] and small capitalists are [[Democrats]], but workingmen must remember that they are all capitalists, and that the many small ones, like the fewer large ones, are all politically supporting their class interests, and this is always and everywhere the capitalist class.

* ''Was ist der Kommunismus? Der Kommunismus ist die Lehre von den Bedingungen der Befreiung des Proletariats. Was ist das Proletariat? Das Proletariat ist diejenige Klasse der Gesellschaft, welche ihren Lebensunterhalt einzig und allein aus dem Verkauf ihrer Arbeit und nicht aus dem Profit irgendeines Kapitals zieht; deren Wohl und Wehe, deren Leben und Tod, deren ganze Existenz von der Nachfrage nach Arbeit, also von dem Wechsel der guten und schlechten Geschäftszeiten, von den Schwankungen einer zügellosen Konkurrenz abhängt.''
** What is [[Communism]]? Communism is the doctrine of the conditions of the liberation of the proletariat. What is the proletariat? The proletariat is that class in [[society]] which lives entirely from the sale of its labor and does not draw profit from any kind of capital; whose weal and woe, whose life and death, whose sole existence depends on the demand for labor – hence, on the changing state of business, on the vagaries of unbridled [[competition]].
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* '''There have always been poor and working classes; and the working class have mostly been [[poor]]. But there have not always been workers and poor people living under conditions as they are today.'''
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* The class of the wholly propertyless, who are obliged to sell their labor to the [[bourgeoisie]] in order to get, in exchange, the means of subsistence for their support. This is called the class of proletarians, or the proletariat.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* The costs of production of labor consist of [[precisely]] the [[quantity]] of means of subsistence necessary to enable the worker to continue working, and to prevent the working class from dying out. The worker will therefore get no more for his labor than is necessary for this purpose; the price of labor, or the [[wage]], will, in other words, be the lowest, the minimum, required for the maintenance of life.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* The [[slave]] is sold once and for all; the proletarian must sell himself daily and hourly. The individual slave, property of one master, is assured an existence, however [[miserable]] it may be, because of the master’s interest. The individual proletarian, property as it were of the entire bourgeois class which buys his labor only when someone has need of it, has no secure existence. This existence is assured only to the class as a whole. ... The slave is outside competition; the proletarian is in it and experiences all its vagaries. ... The slave frees himself when, of all the relations of [[private property]], he abolishes only the relation of slavery and thereby becomes a proletarian; the proletarian can free himself only by abolishing private property in general. ... The proletarian works with the instruments of [[production]] of another, for the account of this other, in exchange for a part of the product. ... The proletarian [[liberates]] himself by abolishing competition, private property, and all class differences.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* The [[manufacturing]] worker almost always lives in the countryside and in a more or less [[patriarchal]] relation to his landlord or employer; the proletarian lives, for the most part, in the city and his relation to his employer is purely a cash relation. The manufacturing worker is torn out of his patriarchal relation by big industry, loses whatever property he still has, and in this way becomes a proletarian.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* Big industry has brought all the people of the Earth into contact with each other, has merged all local [[markets]] into one world market, has spread civilization and progress everywhere and has thus ensured that whatever happens in civilized countries will have [[repercussions]] in all other countries. It follows that if the workers in [[England]] or [[France]] now liberate themselves, this must set off [[revolution]] in all other countries – revolutions which, sooner or later, must accomplish the liberation of their respective working class.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* Everywhere the proletariat develops in step with the bourgeoisie. In proportion, as the bourgeoisie grows in wealth, the proletariat grows in numbers. For, since the proletarians can be employed only by capital, and since capital extends only through employing labor, it follows that the growth of the proletariat proceeds at precisely the same pace as the growth of capital. Simultaneously, this process draws members of the bourgeoisie and proletarians together into the great cities where industry can be carried on most profitably, and by thus throwing great masses in one spot it gives to the proletarians a consciousness of their own strength. Moreover, the further this process advances, the more new labor-saving machines are invented, the greater is the pressure exercised by big industry on wages, which, as we have seen, sink to their minimum and therewith render the condition of the proletariat increasingly unbearable. The growing dissatisfaction of the proletariat thus joins with its rising power to prepare a [[proletarian social revolution]].

* Bourgeoisie and proletariat have become the decisive classes, and the struggle between them the great struggle of the day.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* In all probability, the proletarian revolution will transform existing society gradually and will be able to abolish private property only when the means of production are available in sufficient quantity. What will be the course of this revolution? Above all, it will establish a democratic constitution, and through this, the direct or indirect dominance of the proletariat.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* The abolition of private property has become not only possible but absolutely necessary. ... The outcome can only be the victory of the proletariat.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* [[Democracy]] would be wholly valueless to the proletariat if it were not immediately used as a means for putting through measures directed against private property and ensuring the livelihood of the proletariat.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* Once the first radical attack on private property has been launched, the proletariat will find itself forced to go ever further, to concentrate increasingly in the hands of the state all capital, all agriculture, all transport, all trade. All the foregoing measures are directed to this end; and they will become practicable and feasible, capable of producing their centralizing effects to precisely the degree that the proletariat, through its labor, multiplies the country’s [[productive forces]].
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* How do you think the transition from the present situation to community of Property is to be effected?<br>The first, fundamental condition for the introduction of community of property is the political liberation of the proletariat through a democratic constitution.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], [http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/06/09.htm ''Draft of a Communist Confession of Faith''] (1847)
* The continual subjugation of the masses depends on competition and internal disunity. As long as [[discrimination]] exists, and racial or ethnic [[Minority group|minorities]] are [[oppressed]], the entire working class is oppressed and weakened. This is so because the [[Capitalist class]] is able to use [[racism]] to drive down the [[wages]] of individual segments of the working class by inciting racial antagonism and forcing a fight for jobs and services. This division is a development that ultimately undercuts the living standards of all workers. Moreover, by pitting [[White people|whites]] against [[Black people|Blacks]] and other oppressed nationalities, the Capitalist class is able to prevent workers from uniting against their common class enemy. As long as workers are fighting each other, Capitalist class rule is secure.

* The sex life of the working class is nasty, brutish and short. Every survey of behaviour, whether it's sexual offences or marital behaviour or premarital behaviour shows that.

*Global [[Capitalism|capitalists]] have turned back the clock to the early days of the [[Industrial Revolution]].

* But the rise of capitalism also depended on something else. '''It needed labour. Lots of it, and cheap.''' {{w|Enclosure}} solved this problem too. With subsistence economies destroyed and commons fenced off, people had no choice but to sell their labour for wages - not to earn a bit of extra income, as under the previous regime, nor to satisfy the demands of a lord, as under serfdom, but ''simply in order to survive''. They became, in a word, proletarians.

And 3.

For instance, after the last economic crisis, the {{w|S&P 500}} (thanks in large part to [[w:Great Recession in the United States#Bailout of U.S. financial system|government bailouts]]) not only managed to recover all of its losses by 2013, it then proceeded to almost double its value in the seven years that followed — an average rate of growth equal to about 14 percent per year. By contrast, average hourly wages for working people, [[w:Wage growth#The United States|which rose]] less than three percent per year for most of that same period, recovered much more slowly, and many workers actually saw their [[w:Real wages|wages]] fall or remain flat when adjusted for [[inflation]]. When times are bad, however, in moments of crisis, when [[w:Profit (economics)|profits]] are low, or when there is little or no [[Demand|demand]] — such as we are seeing in many industries today — corporations and companies can protect themselves and their {{w|market value}} by simply letting workers go. Workers, on the other hand usually must continue to pay for food, rent, [[healthcare]], and basic utilities in order to survive. As a consequence, while capital can often weather the storm of such economic crises, they can severely weaken the power of the working class by creating what [[Karl Marx|Marx]] called a vast {{w|reserve army of labor}}. And since [[w:Unemployment benefits|unemployment insurance]] compensations are rarely available to all and always only for a short period of time, workers — whether laid off or only threatened with the prospect of layoffs—will eventually be pressured to work much harder for less wages. And this is precisely why the future of worker’s power depends on how we respond to this crisis now.

* The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life. Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the [[wage]] system, and live in harmony with the Earth.

* '''Notwithstanding all the differences in the aims and tasks of the [[Russian revolution]], compared with the [[w:French_revolution_of_1871|French revolution of 1871]], the Russian proletariat had to resort to the same method of struggle as that first used by the {{w|Paris Commune}} — civil war.''' Mindful of the lessons of the Commune, it knew that the proletariat should not ignore peaceful methods of struggle — they serve its ordinary, day-to-day interests, they are necessary in periods of preparation for revolution — but it must never forget that in certain conditions the [[class struggle]] assumes the form of armed conflict and civil war; there are times when the interests of the proletariat call for ruthless extermination of its enemies in open armed clashes.

* The bourgeoisie today is a falling class... by its imperialist methods of appropriation [it] is destroying the economic structure of the world and human culture generally.

* For most workers the transition to [[socialism]] held out considerably fewer rewards. Though everyone appreciated job security and a steady [[income]]—especially those who had experienced the 1930s—living conditions were still poor and the shortages of [[w:Consumer_goods|consumer goods]] and sometimes even food clashed with socialist ideals of plenty. Even worse was the lack of working-class autonomy. All over [[East/Central Europe|eastern Europe]] workers had tasted influence and power of their own in the immediate [[Aftermath of World War II|postwar years]]. In some areas factory councils had taken over the running of plants or negotiated deals with the owners. By the late 1940s [[Communism|Communist]] [[trade unions]] came in and took over workers’ organizations, and officials appointed by the authorities were the new bosses. They set [[production]] quotas after instructions from above, and workers had little influence on their daily existence. Workers protested everywhere, with some condemning the Communists as [[Nazism|Nazis]] in disguise. Gradually, in the post-[[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]] era the authorities tried to buy off workers’ protests through accepting lower levels of [[productivity]] and increasing subsidies on [[food]] and [[Renters|rent]].
** Odd Arne Westad, ''The Cold War: A World History'' (2017)
* A {{w|worker-coop}} [[w:Co-operative economics|based economy]]—where workers democratically run enterprises, deciding what, how and where to produce, and what to do with any profits—could, and likely would, put social needs and goals (like proper preparation for pandemics) ahead of profits. Workers are the majority in all capitalist societies; their interests are those of the majority. Employers are always a small minority; theirs are the "special interests" of that minority. Capitalism gives that minority the position, profits and power to determine how the society as a whole lives or dies. That's why all employees now wonder and worry about how long our jobs, incomes, homes and bank accounts will last—if we still have them. A minority (employers) decides all those questions and excludes the majority (employees) from making those decisions, even though that majority must live with their results.

These are crises that are experienced personally but are really a collective crisis of everyday life for working class people. But when we ask for governments to respond, we are told that addressing these things collectively is not possible, and that this is just the way things are. But when the capitalist system goes into crisis, governments act promptly. It turns out that political decisions about the economy are possible and it is wholly possible for governments to tell the markets to go jump.

* ''Was ist der Kommunismus? Der Kommunismus ist die Lehre von den Bedingungen der Befreiung des Proletariats. Was ist das Proletariat? Das Proletariat ist diejenige Klasse der Gesellschaft, welche ihren Lebensunterhalt einzig und allein aus dem Verkauf ihrer Arbeit und nicht aus dem Profit irgendeines Kapitals zieht; deren Wohl und Wehe, deren Leben und Tod, deren ganze Existenz von der Nachfrage nach Arbeit, also von dem Wechsel der guten und schlechten Geschäftszeiten, von den Schwankungen einer zügellosen Konkurrenz abhängt.''
** What is [[Communism]]? Communism is the doctrine of the conditions of the liberation of the proletariat. What is the proletariat? The proletariat is that class in [[society]] which lives entirely from the sale of its labor and does not draw profit from any kind of capital; whose weal and woe, whose life and death, whose sole existence depends on the demand for labor – hence, on the changing state of business, on the vagaries of unbridled [[competition]].

* The class of the wholly propertyless, who are obliged to sell their labor to the [[bourgeoisie]] in order to get, in exchange, the means of subsistence for their support. This is called the class of proletarians, or the proletariat.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* The costs of production of labor consist of [[precisely]] the [[quantity]] of means of subsistence necessary to enable the worker to continue working, and to prevent the working class from dying out. The worker will therefore get no more for his labor than is necessary for this purpose; the price of labor, or the [[wage]], will, in other words, be the lowest, the minimum, required for the maintenance of life.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* The [[slave]] is sold once and for all; the proletarian must sell himself daily and hourly. The individual slave, property of one master, is assured an existence, however [[miserable]] it may be, because of the master’s interest. The individual proletarian, property as it were of the entire bourgeois class which buys his labor only when someone has need of it, has no secure existence. This existence is assured only to the class as a whole. ... The slave is outside competition; the proletarian is in it and experiences all its vagaries. ... The slave frees himself when, of all the relations of [[private property]], he abolishes only the relation of slavery and thereby becomes a proletarian; the proletarian can free himself only by abolishing private property in general. ... The proletarian works with the instruments of [[production]] of another, for the account of this other, in exchange for a part of the product. ... The proletarian [[liberates]] himself by abolishing competition, private property, and all class differences.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* The [[manufacturing]] worker almost always lives in the countryside and in a more or less [[patriarchal]] relation to his landlord or employer; the proletarian lives, for the most part, in the city and his relation to his employer is purely a cash relation. The manufacturing worker is torn out of his patriarchal relation by big industry, loses whatever property he still has, and in this way becomes a proletarian.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* Big industry has brought all the people of the Earth into contact with each other, has merged all local [[markets]] into one world market, has spread civilization and progress everywhere and has thus ensured that whatever happens in civilized countries will have [[repercussions]] in all other countries. It follows that if the workers in [[England]] or [[France]] now liberate themselves, this must set off [[revolution]] in all other countries – revolutions which, sooner or later, must accomplish the liberation of their respective working class.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* Everywhere the proletariat develops in step with the bourgeoisie. In proportion, as the bourgeoisie grows in wealth, the proletariat grows in numbers. For, since the proletarians can be employed only by capital, and since capital extends only through employing labor, it follows that the growth of the proletariat proceeds at precisely the same pace as the growth of capital. Simultaneously, this process draws members of the bourgeoisie and proletarians together into the great cities where industry can be carried on most profitably, and by thus throwing great masses in one spot it gives to the proletarians a consciousness of their own strength. Moreover, the further this process advances, the more new labor-saving machines are invented, the greater is the pressure exercised by big industry on wages, which, as we have seen, sink to their minimum and therewith render the condition of the proletariat increasingly unbearable. The growing dissatisfaction of the proletariat thus joins with its rising power to prepare a [[proletarian social revolution]].

* Bourgeoisie and proletariat have become the decisive classes, and the struggle between them the great struggle of the day.

* In all probability, the proletarian revolution will transform existing society gradually and will be able to abolish private property only when the means of production are available in sufficient quantity. What will be the course of this revolution? Above all, it will establish a democratic constitution, and through this, the direct or indirect dominance of the proletariat.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* The abolition of private property has become not only possible but absolutely necessary. ... The outcome can only be the victory of the proletariat.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* [[Democracy]] would be wholly valueless to the proletariat if it were not immediately used as a means for putting through measures directed against private property and ensuring the livelihood of the proletariat.
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* Once the first radical attack on private property has been launched, the proletariat will find itself forced to go ever further, to concentrate increasingly in the hands of the state all capital, all agriculture, all transport, all trade. All the foregoing measures are directed to this end; and they will become practicable and feasible, capable of producing their centralizing effects to precisely the degree that the proletariat, through its labor, multiplies the country’s [[productive forces]].
** [[Friedrich Engels]], ''{{w|Principles of Communism}}'' (1847)
* How do you think the transition from the present situation to community of Property is to be effected?<br>The first, fundamental condition for the introduction of community of property is the political liberation of the proletariat through a democratic constitution.

* The continual subjugation of the masses depends on competition and internal disunity. As long as [[discrimination]] exists, and racial or ethnic [[Minority group|minorities]] are [[oppressed]], the entire working class is oppressed and weakened. This is so because the [[Capitalist class]] is able to use [[racism]] to drive down the [[wages]] of individual segments of the working class by inciting racial antagonism and forcing a fight for jobs and services. This division is a development that ultimately undercuts the living standards of all workers. Moreover, by pitting [[White people|whites]] against [[Black people|Blacks]] and other oppressed nationalities, the Capitalist class is able to prevent workers from uniting against their common class enemy. As long as workers are fighting each other, Capitalist class rule is secure.

* The sex life of the working class is nasty, brutish and short. Every survey of behaviour, whether it's sexual offences or marital behaviour or premarital behaviour shows that.

The working class is increasingly bereft of rights, blocked from forming [[Trade unions|unions]], paid starvation wages, subject to wage theft, under constant [[surveillance]], fired for minor infractions, exposed to dangerous carcinogens, forced to work overtime, given punishing quotas and abandoned when they are sick and old. Workers have become, here and abroad, disposable cogs to corporate oligarchs, who wallow in obscene personal wealth that dwarfs the worst excesses of the [[w:Robber_Barons|Robber Barons]].

* [[w:Amazon_(company)|Amazon]] workers, like many American workers, endure appalling work conditions. They are forced to work compulsory 12-hour shifts. They are denied bathroom breaks, often urinating into bottles. They endure stifling temperatures inside the warehouse in the summer. They must scan a new item every 11 seconds to hit their quota. The company knows immediately when they fall behind. Fail to meet the quota and you are fired.

* But the rise of capitalism also depended on something else. '''It needed labour. Lots of it, and cheap.''' {{w|Enclosure}} solved this problem too. With subsistence economies destroyed and commons fenced off, people had no choice but to sell their labour for wages - not to earn a bit of extra income, as under the previous regime, nor to satisfy the demands of a lord, as under serfdom, but ''simply in order to survive''. They became, in a word, proletarians.

* Confronting this crisis ultimately means [[w:Anti-capitalism|confronting capitalism]], and that means directly resisting these layoffs, since layoffs are always the first weapon used against working people in moments of {{w|economic crisis}}. {{w|Big business}}es and [[corporations]] that have benefited from years of [[economic growth]] (not to mention the massive {{w|surplus value}} of [[w:Labor theory of value|workers’ labor]]) owe [[w:Employment#United States|employees]] and their [[w:Family structure in the United States|families]] a huge debt and it’s time to pay up. In order to make this happen, working people must organize for and demand: 1. An immediate ban on all layoffs. 2. Full wages for all employees, whether they are working during the crisis or not. And 3. A redistribution of [[w:Working time|working hours]] among currently unemployed workers (including [[w:Migrant worker#United States|undocumented]] and {{w|precarious worker}}s) so that no one is denied the essential [[w:Right to work|right to employment]].

* When times are good, capital can extract huge profits from labor with little risk. For instance, after the last economic crisis, the {{w|S&P 500}} (thanks in large part to [[w:Great Recession in the United States#Bailout of U.S. financial system|government bailouts]]) not only managed to recover all of its losses by 2013, it then proceeded to almost double its value in the seven years that followed — an average rate of growth equal to about 14 percent per year. By contrast, average hourly wages for working people, [[w:Wage growth#The United States|which rose]] less than three percent per year for most of that same period, recovered much more slowly, and many workers actually saw their [[w:Real wages|wages]] fall or remain flat when adjusted for [[inflation]]. When times are bad, however, in moments of crisis, when [[w:Profit (economics)|profits]] are low, or when there is little or no [[Demand|demand]] — such as we are seeing in many industries today — corporations and companies can protect themselves and their {{w|market value}} by simply letting workers go. Workers, on the other hand usually must continue to pay for food, rent, [[healthcare]], and basic utilities in order to survive. As a consequence, while capital can often weather the storm of such economic crises, they can severely weaken the power of the working class by creating what [[Karl Marx|Marx]] called a vast {{w|reserve army of labor}}. And since [[w:Unemployment benefits|unemployment insurance]] compensations are rarely available to all and always only for a short period of time, workers — whether laid off or only threatened with the prospect of layoffs—will eventually be pressured to work much harder for less wages. And this is precisely why the future of worker’s power depends on how we respond to this crisis now.

* The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.

* '''Notwithstanding all the differences in the aims and tasks of the [[Russian revolution]], compared with the [[w:French_revolution_of_1871|French revolution of 1871]], the Russian proletariat had to resort to the same method of struggle as that first used by the {{w|Paris Commune}} — civil war.''' Mindful of the lessons of the Commune, it knew that the proletariat should not ignore peaceful methods of struggle — they serve its ordinary, day-to-day interests, they are necessary in periods of preparation for revolution — but it must never forget that in certain conditions the [[class struggle]] assumes the form of armed conflict and civil war; there are times when the interests of the proletariat call for ruthless extermination of its enemies in open armed clashes.

This party had won that position even before the {{w|revolution of 1905}}. It is the party that was at the head of the workers in 1905 and which since then — even at the time of the reaction after 1905 when the working-class movement was rehabilitated with such difficulty under the [[Pyotr Stolypin|Stolypin]] {{w|Duma}} — merged with the working class and it alone could lead that class to a profound, fundamental change in the old society.

* The bourgeoisie today is a falling class... by its imperialist methods of appropriation [it] is destroying the economic structure of the world and human culture generally.

We are forced to tear it off, to chop it away. The [[w:Red_Terror|Red Terror]] is a weapon utilized against a class, doomed to destruction, which does not wish to perish.

* For most workers the transition to [[socialism]] held out considerably fewer rewards. Though everyone appreciated job security and a steady [[income]]—especially those who had experienced the 1930s—living conditions were still poor and the shortages of [[w:Consumer_goods|consumer goods]] and sometimes even food clashed with socialist ideals of plenty. Even worse was the lack of working-class autonomy. All over [[East/Central Europe|eastern Europe]] workers had tasted influence and power of their own in the immediate [[Aftermath of World War II|postwar years]]. In some areas factory councils had taken over the running of plants or negotiated deals with the owners. By the late 1940s [[Communism|Communist]] [[trade unions]] came in and took over workers’ organizations, and officials appointed by the authorities were the new bosses. They set [[production]] quotas after instructions from above, and workers had little influence on their daily existence. Workers protested everywhere, with some condemning the Communists as [[Nazism|Nazis]] in disguise. Gradually, in the post-[[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]] era the authorities tried to buy off workers’ protests through accepting lower levels of [[productivity]] and increasing subsidies on [[food]] and [[Renters|rent]].
** Odd Arne Westad, ''The Cold War: A World History'' (2017)
* A {{w|worker-coop}} [[w:Co-operative economics|based economy]]—where workers democratically run enterprises, deciding what, how and where to produce, and what to do with any profits—could, and likely would, put social needs and goals (like proper preparation for pandemics) ahead of profits. Workers are the majority in all capitalist societies; their interests are those of the majority. Employers are always a small minority; theirs are the "special interests" of that minority. Capitalism gives that minority the position, profits and power to determine how the society as a whole lives or dies. That's why all employees now wonder and worry about how long our jobs, incomes, homes and bank accounts will last—if we still have them. A minority (employers) decides all those questions and excludes the majority (employees) from making those decisions, even though that majority must live with their results.

{{italic title}}
'''[[w:The Blacklist (TV series)|The Blacklist]]''' (2013-2023) is an American crime drama television series, airing on [[w:NBC|NBC]], in which Raymond "Red" Reddington ([[James Spader]]), a former government agent turned high-profile criminal, who had eluded capture for decades, voluntarily surrenders to the FBI, offering to cooperate on capturing a list of criminals who are virtually impossible to catch. He insists on working with a rookie profiler by the name of Elizabeth Keen ([[w:Megan Boone|Megan Boone]]).
== Season 1 ==
=== ''Pilot'' [1.01] ===
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': Why involve me? I'm nobody. It's my first day. Nothing special about me.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Oh. I think you're very special.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': I'm going to make you famous, Lizzie. We are going to be famous
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': And I'm supposed to believe you?
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Of course not! I'm a criminal. Criminals are notorious liars. Everything about me is a lie. But, if anyone will give me a second chance it's you. The two of us have overcome so much.

=== ''No. 145: The Freelancer'' [1.02] ===
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': ''[just before going undercover]'' Before we do this, let me be clear. I'm not here to socialize, I have no interest in having dinner with you, nor do we have the time. We meet your contact, we get the name of The Freelancer's next victim and we go. Are we understood?
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': I agree with you completely, but it is a restaurant and it is dinner time...
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': You look like the CIA.
:'''Meera Malik''': Oh yeah? What's the CIA look like?

:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': ''[to Elizabeth]'' What if I were to tell you that all the things you've come to believe about yourself are a lie?
=== ''No. 84: Wujing'' [1.03] ===
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': ''[dismissing an operative while playing himself in chess]'' I prefer to play with myself in private.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': ''[about Wujing]'' He's a myth.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': That's what they said about [[w:Deep Throat (Watergate)|Deep Throat]]... and the [[w:G-spot|G-spot]].
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': I'm sorry, you're decoding CIA messages on behalf of the Chinese...
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': ''[nods at Elizabeth reassuringly]'' Now you see? You make it sound like treason, so black and white. It's not, it's green.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': I've been moving comfortably through the world for the past twenty years without a trace, and now some two-bit spy killer is going to put my life and business in jeopardy?

:'''Elizabeth Keen''': Why me?

=== ''No. 161: The Stewmaker'' [1.04] ===
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': A man's life is at stake!
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': A man's life is always at stake. And tragically low stakes at that. I should remind you that I did not offer you my services to help you round up your run of the mill drug lord or what have you. You all seem to be doing a perfectly mediocre job of that on your own. I'm after the big game Lizzie. The ones that matter.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': See Lizzie, now I'm interested. The Stewmaker's in town. You're going to need a plumber.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Donald Ressler''': Lorca is not going anywhere, and I'll never trust you. You know why?
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Because after tracking me for years, you've come up with one undeniable truth: I only do what's good for me. And that is a person you can trust, Donald. Now, lets go.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Your witness is dead, you lost Lorca, and he took Agent Keen. I'd say my meeting with Lorca might be the equivalent of you falling on your ass and landing on a pile of Christmas.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Stewmaker''': Are you a mother?
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': No.
:'''The Stewmaker''': That's good... I was asked to make you suffer.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': Why are you doing this?! You don't take life. You clean up death.
:'''The Stewmaker''': Everything changes. Everything evolves. This is my evolution.
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': You know what I think? I think this idea of you vanishing people to aid nature is a lie. I think you're trying to dissolve something else. Your past, maybe? Whatever the horrible thing was that twisted you up inside and made you into the freak that you are!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': ''[to the Stewmaker while Elizabeth listens]'' A farmer comes home one day to find that everything that gives meaning to his life is gone. Crops are burned, animals slaughtered, bodies and broken pieces of his life strewn about. Everything that he loved taken from him - his children. One can only imagine the pit of despair, the hours of Job-like lamentations, the burden of existence. He makes a promise to himself in those dark hours. A life's work erupts from his knotted mind. Years go by. His suffering becomes complicated. One day he stops - the farmer who is no longer a farmer - sees the wreckage he's left in his wake. It is now he who burns, he who slaughters, and he knows in his heart he must pay.
=== ''No. 85: The Courier'' [1.05] ===
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Have you ever wondered how criminals who know they can't trust one another are still able to conduct business with each other?
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': They replace trust with fear and the threat of violence.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': The next target on the Blacklist is the physical embodiment of both. He's known as the Courier, and his involvement in a transaction virtually guarantees its success. Once he's hired to make a delivery, he can't be bribed, he can't be stopped. If either party attempts to double cross the other, he kills them both. The perfect middleman for an imperfect world.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': If you really want her to talk, I should meet with her.
:'''Donald Ressler''': Every time you "meet", someone ends up dead.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': We've gotten off to a rocky start.
:'''Harold Cooper''': You killed three people.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': I'm not perfect.

:'''The Courier's Brother''': No, I mean you don't ''understand'' him. Our old man knocked us around when he needed to, which didn't bother Tommy. But dad hated that. Felt like he couldn't control his own son, and he couldn't. So when he was 11, dad started hosting these dogfights. Not with two dogs, but with a dog and Tommy. Well, we had this barn. People would come from miles around. They'd get drunk and make bets. What it did to him over time...Tommy's broken. Somewhere in his head, a switch flipped. I wish I could help you, but you know how it goes. You're here because somebody screwed up. The deal went sideways. And now the buyer and seller have targets on their head, if they're not dead already.
=== ''No. 152: Gina Zanetakos'' [1.06] ===
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': You've obviously heard of corporate espionage - companies trying to beat other companies to be the first hand on the dollar. But what if it were taken... a few steps further? [[w:Chicago Tylenol murders|In 1982, seven people in Chicago were killed by an over-the-counter drug laced with potassium cyanide.]] The company's market share went from 35 to 8. It was never determined how the drug was poisoned, but I will tell you someone was hired to do that. Remember those [[w:Firestone and Ford tire controversy|tire recalls]]? [[w:Chernobyl disaster|Chernobyl]]? Deliberate and malevolent actions taken by corporations to protect their vital interests. Nothing happens by chance.

=== ''No. 47: Frederick Barnes'' [1.07] ===
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': I know what you think you have in that needle.
:'''Frederick Barnes''': Yes, my son's future.
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': Your cure is experimental. It could just as easily kill him.
:'''Frederick Barnes''': If I do nothing, he dies anyway.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': I take it from the coroner's van that Barnes is no longer with us. Pity.
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': Tell that to the families of the people he murdered.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Every cause has more than one effect. Say what you will about Frederick but someone who's willing to burn the world down to protect the one person they care about, that's a man I understand.
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': Is that meant to be directed at me?
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Aren't ''you'' presumptuous?
=== ''No. 109: General Ludd'' [1.08] ===
=== ''No. 16: Anslo Garrick'' [1.09] ===
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': The concept of a Last Stand sounds so heroically romantic, doesn't it, Donald? But there is a good reason why we didn't see what happened to [[w: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid|Butch and Sundance]] - being riddled by bullets and left to rot under the scorching Bolivian sky does not a sequel make. And if you surmise nothing about me by now, know this: I am going be around for the sequel.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Anslo Garrick''': Red, Red, did you really think there was a distance you could cover or a hole deep enough that you could hide in? There is nowhere in this world that I cannot reach you, Red. Fortification be damned. I heard you made yourself some sweet little immunity deal, Red. I heard that you fitted the FBI with strings, and now they hang upon your hip like a hatchet. Not bad. Prudent. But they can't keep you safe from someone like me, Red, someone who sat in blackness for five years. Five years thinking about the pain I was going to inflict on you while slowly breaking your will, your body, and finally your mind. That day is here, my friend. And it will end with your screams, as God is my witness.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Anslo Garrick''': I've brought a whole picnic basket to this party. And, little pig, little pig, you are going to let me come in.

:'''Anslo Garrick''': Red. Do you remember that Road Runner cartoon where the Coyote makes the mountain of TNT and gunpowder barrels?
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': And blows himself sky-high? Yes, Anslo. Is that what you're doing out there? Is this to be mass suicide by explosion, I hope?
:'''Anslo Garrick''': No. We'll be fine out here, Red. But with these charges rigged to blow inward, I can't say the same about you. It's no matter. I intend to thoroughly torture the hell out of whatever's left of you. [''Garrick beats his head on the glass''] Oh, come on! Play with me!

:'''Donald Ressler''': We are not going to live through this...
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': I think we will.
:'''Donald Ressler''': How?
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Have you ever sailed across an ocean, Donald...
:'''Donald Ressler''': No.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': ...on a sailboat, surrounded by sea with no land in sight, without even the possibility of sighting land for days to come? To stand at the helm of your destiny. I want that, one more time. I want to be in the Piazza del Campo in Siena. To feel the surge as 10 racehorses go thundering by. I want another meal in Paris, at L'Ambroisie, at the Place des Vosges. I want another bottle of wine. And then another. I want the warmth of a woman and a cool set of sheets. One more night of jazz at the Vanguard. I want to stand on the summits and smoke Cubans and feel the sun on my face for as long as I can. Walk on the Wall again. Climb the Tower. Ride the River. Stare at the Frescos. I want to sit in the garden and read one more good book. Most of all I want to sleep. I want to sleep like I slept when I was a boy. Give me that, just one time. That's why I won't allow that punk out there to get the best of me, let alone the last of me.

:'''Diane Fowler''': As of this moment, the only target on the Blacklist is Raymond Reddington.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Alan Fitch''': We could've killed you. I don't mean today. I mean any day. I mean every day for the past two decades. But we don't. We know what you have, Ray. And we know what'll happen to it if you turn up dead. So we do nothing. We let you live. And in exchange, we we trust that our secret remains secret.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Nothing has changed.
:'''Alan Fitch''': Oh, no. I'd say everything's changed. Everything changed the minute you surrendered to the FBI. Did you think we wouldn't know? Maybe you wanted to change our arrangement. Maybe you thought you could turn yourself in and, uh, find some new friends to protect you. Maybe you plan to expose us.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': No.
:'''Alan Fitch''': What have you told, Ray?
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Nothing.
:'''Alan Fitch''': Then what the hell are you doing here?
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': My reasons have n-nothing to do with you.
:'''Alan Fitch''': Well, I hope so. I really do. Because I've always liked you, Ray. You're a pain in my neck, but I like you. Just know this: you were walking in the park this morning. We could've taken you then. Instead, we dragged you from the safety and security of the bed you're now sharing with new friends. Why would we do a thing like that? To make it abundantly clear there's nowhere you can go, there's no one you can trust to keep you from us.

:'''Anslo Garrick''': Just you and me again, Red. Just like the old days.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Oh, give it a rest. We both know Fitch won't let you finish it.
:'''Anslo Garrick''': That's as may be. But you know what I can do, though, Red? I can find Lizzie. I can hurt her. I can make her suffer. And when I'm finished, I can kill her. Sometimes you just have to take what you can in this crazy world. Guess who taught me that, Red. You did. What? No smart quips? No? You're not actually feeling something, are you, Red?

:'''The Good Samaritan''': See, George, I suffered my share of pain as a child courtesy of the one person in this world who was supposed to protect me. I found it inconceivable that a person could hurt someone who they claim to love -- and not just hurt, but torture repeatedly. But then, one day, I realized she wasn't experiencing pain. It was the opposite. She was actually experiencing pleasure. See, George I believe that the only way that an abuser can truly understand the experience of the victim is to have that experience themselves. And that's what you're doing here today, George. And that's what mother is here today for, too -- so she never forgets what I experienced all those years. And now you will never forget what your wife experienced all those years.

Everything you have was bought and paid for by your boyfriend. [to guard] Raymond 'Red' Reddington: Do you have any idea who's horn this tramp is blowing? Let's just say it starts with Bashiar, and ends with Assad, gassing you faster than a Sunni. So let's get her out of the hot seat and into a limo. Good God, crumbs up!

:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': It was Christmas Eve. I pulled off to the side of the road, seemed like it'd been snowing for days. No traffic. No cars to come help. Just me and a car full of gifts. It was more than 20 year ago. I must have walked four miles. Five, maybe. It was so still. Just cold and white. The whole time all I could think about was them in our house. The warm light in the windows. The smoke from the chimney. The sound of my daughter at the piano. The smell of the tree, and the fire, oyster stew on the stove. I was so upset to think that I'd ruined Christmas for them, being late, leaving the gifts in the car. But the closer I got, the more I realized how funny the whole thing was. How much they'd love the story. Daddy running out of gas. How every Christmas they'd get such joy from telling that story at my expense. And then finally, I got there, I walked... I walked through the door. And there was just blood. All I saw was blood. All there was was blood. I can... I can still smell the nape of her neck. Feel her little... fingers on my cheek. Her whisper in my ear. That's why I didn't show up in Florence. It's why I haven't shown up in a lot of places over the years.

I had lost all sense of time and place, completely disoriented. But I knew I was dying. So I readied myself for it. And in that moment at death' door, I looked up... And standing over me in the brightness was this landless Moken Sea Gypsy. Just standing there. Smiling. She and her tribe nursed me back to health. Good as new. When I left the island, she kissed me, it was like a burst of sunlight on my cheek. It was... It made nearly dying welling worth it. That's how I feel now.

=== ''Berlin: Conclusion'' [1.22] ===
:'''Milos 'Berlin' Kirchoff''': They say he started in the Red Army and then the KGB, and he was notorious for sending off his enemies to the war camps in Siberia. Then, towards the end of the Cold War, some stories began to circulate that his daughter had fallen in love with a dissident. She was captured, imprisoned. But, you see, the Colonel-- he knew his way around. He arranged so she could escape. When the Kremlin found out, they decided to make an example of him, so they sent him off to Siberia to rot away with his enemies. It is said that they could hear him every night praying for his daughter's safety, that she would never be found. And one day, something arrived in his cell. It was a pocket watch he had given his daughter, and inside was a picture of her. And a few months later, something else arrived-- her ear. And then a finger. His enemies sent her back to him piece by piece. No one knows how he did it, but he did-- some say that he carved a knife from one of his daughter's bones-- and slaughtered all the men that had held him captive for so many years. Then he vanished, disappeared. A ghost hunting, searching for the man responsible for his daughter's death. The man you're looking for is not on those photos. The man you're looking for was never on the manifest.

:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': People love to decry big brother the NSA, the government listening in on their most private lives, yet they all willingly go online and hand over the most intimate details of those lives - to [[big data]].
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': Most people don't care that Google knows their search history.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': They know more than that. They know your habits, the banks you use, the pills you pop, the men or women you sleep with. Every piece of information is worth something to somebody. And in the hands of the wrong person, that could be deadly.
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': You have a lead.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Lord Baltimore is in town.
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': Lord Baltimore?
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': He's a tracker by trade, but his methods are thoroughly modern. He's made an art of combing through cyberspace, finding the status updates, financial records, and location blips that virtually everyone leaves behind in the modern age.

:'''Samar Navabi''': And why is that?
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Because the person you just informed of my capture is going to release me within the hour.

:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Revenge isn't a passion. It's a disease that eats at your mind and poisons your soul. I attended summer camp with this little stick of a girl Twila Stansberry. Hell of an athlete, capture the flag. Had an unrelenting passion for fitness. Never skinny enough. A pound here, a pound there. Ran like a deer. Until she couldn't could barely walk. Turns out she was anorexic. The disease caused her to lose her sight. I've never known anyone more obsessed with their body than Twila. Spent her entire life chasing something that destroyed her. Make sure your passion isn't your sickness.
:'''Milos 'Berlin' Kirchoff''': Your wife is coming apart nicely.

:'''Milos 'Berlin' Kirchoff''': I almost gave up looking for you. You were like a ghost for 12 years. Heard rumors. And I followed them from Barcelona to Melbourne to Stockholm, but always nothing. Until one day I made a connection: Elizabeth Keen. That's why we're sitting here today...because of ''Keen''. I know you care for her as much as you care for your wife. I think underneath it all, under that hat of yours, you're not much different from, uh, Twila Stansberry. You have the power to destroy me, but you're offering me a way out because you're blinded by passion. Guess we both are.

On my orders, 763 men and women have died in service to their country. And there wasn't a grieving wife or mother or husband I didn't either call or visit personally. Thank them for their sacrifice. That's what makes it the hardest. The families. You can't disarm it, can you?
:'''Mike''': Sir, I asked you to be as still as possible.

:'''Luther Braxton''': Boy, things got nasty in Belgrade, didn't they? It's funny-- up until then, I was aimless, just an ordinary thief, but after Belgrade, I became known as the man who bested the great Ray Reddington.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': You didn't best me, Luther. You butchered and clawed your way into my pockets, and innocent people died in the process.
:'''Luther Braxton''': You're such a snob, Red. Always considered yourself above the fray with your handmade suits and your fancy wine, your private jets. Do you even drive? You got everybody convinced you're so hard, Red, but I know better. You're soft.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': You're not getting the Fulcrum.
:'''Luther Braxton''': And how you gonna stop me, Red? Bore me to death with Beethoven? Put me to sleep quoting Nietzsche? Come on. We both know that in order to stop me, you got to have balls. You got to run the gauntlet. And after Belgrade, well that's just not gonna happen. So, tell me-- how are you gonna stop me, Red?

:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Have you ever heard of Bruno Ashmanskis? The most skilled cat burglar I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Bruno mostly did jobs on commission, but he always wanted to do something for himself, something special, so he got it into his head that he was gonna break into the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge to steal an imperial vase from the Qing Dynasty worth millions-- the single biggest trophy of his career.
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': What happened?
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': I never heard from him again. I'd always assumed he'd succeeded, that he was sipping some umbrella-clad cocktail on a beach in Tahiti, until five years later during a remodel of the Fitzwilliam, they removed a wall. There was poor Bruno-- what was left of him, anyway-- stuck inside a heating duct, still clutching that vase. I prefer to think of old Bruno on that beach in Tahiti.

:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': In Mexico, there are these fish that have colonized the freshwater caves along Sierra del Abra. They were lost. They found themselves living in complete darkness. But they didn't die. Instead, they thrived. They adapted. They lost their pigmentation, their sight, eventually even their eyes. With survival, they became hideous. I've rarely thought about what I once was. But I wonder if a ray of light were to make it into the cave, would I be able to see it? Or feel it? Would I gravitate to its warmth? And if I did, would I become less hideous?

:'''T. Earl King VI''': I do all right. The wheelchair is just a little memento of our time together in Bolivia.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': No hard feelings, I trust.
:'''T. Earl King VI''': Just a few. But this is only business, Red. Besides, you warned me. Pigs eat Hogs get slaughtered.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': All you had to do was listen. But that's always been your problem-- all that money clogging your ears. I told you to come with me that night out on the Altiplano.
:'''T. Earl King VI''': I had millions invested. I couldn't just walk away like you.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Poor choice of words given what those soldiers did to you. I'd hate to see you play the hog yet again, Earl.
:'''T. Earl King VI''': No, no, Red. You taught me an invaluable lesson. Dispassion is the businessman's best friend. One mustn't get emotionally involved in business. You have to listen to the market. You hear that? That's the market telling me you are in demand. What kind of a commodity are you? A wealth of secrets and information? Or are you an impulse purchase for a buyer to settle a score? You scare people, Red. How much would you pay to be rid of your deepest fear?
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': I've always found fear to be my most valuable sense. But then again, you Kings demonstrate a propensity for having more dollars than sense.

You may know him as the concierge of crime. I present Raymond Reddington!

:'''Harold Cooper''': ''[to a detainee]'' I don't think you quite understand the situation. You're assuming that you're a material witness in federal custody and are entitled to certain rights. And while these things are true, what you don't know is you don't know me. My doctors recently detected a mass within the left hemisphere of my brain-- an inoperable tumor. Within a matter of weeks, it will kill me. And this has clarified a number of priorities for me. Among those priorities, nothing is more important to me than the safety of my colleagues. I'm committed that no one under my command dies during the remainder of my watch. And I will do anything within my power to honor that commitment. And since I quite literally have nothing to lose I suggest you think long and hard before answering my question. Where is Elizabeth Keen?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': What's in this for you?
:'''Francis King''': You wouldn't understand. You're not a King.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Funny. Your father used to say that exact phrase as if it somehow excused him from the use of logic.
:'''Francis King''': What's in it for me? Hmm. Legacy and the King family fortune.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': If this is just about the money, that would be so banal. I bet your father would trade it all for one more walk in the park with a good friend.
:'''Francis King''': Tell me. Where are all your good friends now, huh? If you think there's a soul in this world loyal to anything but your pocketbook, then you're the one who's excused himself from the use of logic.
=== ''No. 75: The Major'' [2.15] ===
:'''The Major''': You ever stop to think that the reason you have trouble relating to other people is because you're special? That it's not you, it's everyone else that's the problem?
:'''Tom Keen/Jacob Phelps''': That's not what social services says.
:'''The Major''': Good old social services. Bureaucrats trained in missing the point. We believe that your delinquent inclinations are exactly what makes you invaluable. It takes a certain kind of courage.
:'''Tom Keen/Jacob Phelps''': What are you talking about? A job, a school? What is all this stuff?
:'''The Major''': I told you, we have an opportunity, if you're willing to take it. If you're smart enough to take it. It's your choice, Jacob. You can get out and go back to the life you've always known, or you can take a ride with me, and I can tell you how to leave this life behind. I can help you become anything.

:'''Reven Wright''': You've made a mistake, Richard.
:'''Richard Denner''': I agree, Reven. I should've been a dermatologist.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': ''[to Judge Denner]'' I'm sorry. You're right. You're absolutely right. I should have known that when my husband and I were planning family that he was, in fact, a traitor who had installed surveillance cameras in my bedroom! Of course I should have been aware that the number four on the FBI's most wanted list would turn himself in and demand to speak only to me! God, what a horrible profiler I must be to have missed the fact that I am central to the discovery of a blackmail file that will tilt the balance of power in, let me phrase this right, ''the entire world!'' Wow! I suck!

:'''Richard Denner''': Smiling Tommy Connolly. You always were a smug bastard.
:'''Thomas Connolly''': And you were always a paranoid, self-righteous prick! ''[beat]'' Your Honor. Here's what we're gonna do. You're gonna quash this subpoena.
:'''Richard Denner''': And if I don't?
:'''Thomas Connolly''': You will. In everyone's career, there's a crossroads, Richard-- a moment where what they'll say next will define their lives, decide their future.
:'''Richard Denner''': Is this task force really that important to you?
:'''Thomas Connolly''': I don't know what that is. And neither do you. You crossed the line. I'm willing to move past it. And who knows? Maybe one day, when I'm AG, we'll get you on a real court.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Thomas Connolly''': Maybe you're a little dinged up. But you're still at the top of your game. You perjured yourself for one of your team. I admit I didn't expect that. But I sure as hell do respect it.
:'''Harold Cooper''': Guess my principles aren't what they used to be. Neither are yours.
:'''Thomas Connolly''': That's where you're wrong, buddy. I never had any principles. That's why I'm on a rocket to the top.

:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': We need to find Kenneth Jasper. He's one of the Director's closest allies. He'll know what they're planning. I threatened to kill him when he betrayed Roger Hobbs. More specifically, I threatened to cut out his tongue and deliver it to the Director personally. He won't be easy to find.

:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': I'm a sin eater. I absorb the misdeeds of others, darkening my soul to keep theirs pure. That is what I'm capable of.

:'''Thomas Connolly''': Our river of influence runs deep, or have you forgotten how easily we made Judge Denner suppress first-degree murder charges against you, Agent Keen? Look around. Why do you think I'm here? There's a banquet tonight, fraternal order of police. I'm the keynote speaker. Four hours from now, I'm going to be on that stage, announcing that my office has secured an indictment against the members of a rogue task force.
:'''Harold Cooper''': This task force was authorized by the FBI and the DOJ!
:'''Thomas Connolly''': By my predecessor at the DOJ. You're going to prison, Agent Keen. Donald Ressler-- his little oxy addiction will get him drummed out of the Bureau. Samar Navabi will be extradited to Iran, where she will stand trial for the murder of one of their top nuclear scientists. Charlene, Harold, even Agent Mojtabai. We have a little something in mind for all of you, including treason charges and the death penalty for Reddington. So are we finished here? Because I think it's cocktail hour.

:'''Matthias Solomon''': I pine for the days when conquered generals had the sense and good taste to fall on their swords. Now they hold press conferences, negotiate advances for their memoirs while the rest of us clean up their messes.

:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': ''[to Keen]'' You're in a storm, Lizzy. You need to find the peace below the winds.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': The Troll Farmer uses social media to conduct highly coordinated disinformation campaigns on behalf of governments, lobbyists, corporations, crime syndicates, and on occasion, a humble fugitive. He's mastered the art of information warfare by creating events, virtual hoaxes designed to piggyback on real public anxiety. He activates hundreds of fake accounts to post thousands of tweets, creating the appearance of, say, a terrorist attack in Paris that served as cover for an art heist. He doctors screenshots from news outlets to report an ebola outbreak in Atlanta in order to drive up the stock of a drug company developing a cure. The Troll Farmer is much more than a rumor monger. The events he creates appear to be real and provoke a very real response. Smoke manufactured to draw the cameras away from the real fire.

:'''Elizabeth Keen''': When I was a little girl, I used to imagine that my mother was a prima ballerina who danced for kings and queens in London and Paris. And she only left me with Sam until she could come home again and sweep me away.

So you just sit tight, enjoy your muffin, and if I hear you say anything other than "please" or "thank you" to Carly, I'm gonna drag you into the men's room and wash your mouth out with soap. And if that doesn't work, I'll cut your filthy tongue out with that butter knife. Is that clear enough for you?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Matthias Solomon''': ''[to a hospitalized Russian agent]'' Did I disturb you? They said you were sedated. Well, you know what they say? Can't keep a good man down. Unfortunately, it's only a matter of time before the FBI pays you a visit, and we can't have that 'cause you are what is commonly referred to as a loose end. Now, you should take heart, because if the Russians are furious now, imagine how irate they'll be when they learn that there's been another fatality as a result of Agent Ressler's attack on your convoy. If it's any consolation, your heroic devotion to our cause has earned you my most sincere respect. Godspeed, sir.

:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': From as early as I can remember, I dreamed of someday being captain of a ship. To be out there on the ocean in the middle of the night, navigating by the stars.

:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Have you ever heard of Mugs Kalinowski? Lovely guy. Ugliest man I ever laid eyes on. That's why everyone called him Mugs. Except his dear mother. She was an art professor at Bard. Lovingly referred to him as Picasso.
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': That's kind of sweet, actually.
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': Well, it was an apt nickname. His face was all over the place. But perhaps as a result of that nickname, Mugs grew up with a great appreciation for art. He fenced some of the most extravagant pieces in the world. He only had one rule. Out of respect for dear mom, he'd never lift a Picasso. Felt it was bad luck. Then one day, he got a tip from a source about a piece sitting in a huge loft in Soho. So one evening, Mugs shimmied up the drain pipe, broke in, and lo and behold, there hung on the wall, Les Femmes D'Alger. A spectacular Picasso. One of a series of 15 and astronomically valuable.
:'''Elizabeth Keen''': Did he take it?
:'''Raymond 'Red' Reddington''': No. And Mugs was convinced that was the single biggest stroke of bad luck he'd ever suffered. Well, what he didn't know was the source who'd given him the tip was working with the feds. The painting had a tracking device on it. Sometimes, bad luck is the best luck you'll ever have.

:'''Red:''' But first, please indulge my curiosity. An ice castle in the air, the best and the brightest frozen solid. I'm intrigued.<br />
:'''Crandall:''' You know what these are? They're horseshoe crabs. Decades ago, it was discovered that their plasma contained limulus amebocyte lysate, which can be used to detect bacterial endotoxins.<br />
:'''Crandall:''' I found a way to synthesize it. <br />
:'''Red:''' That's how you made your fortune.<br />
:'''Crandall:''' But more important, they were the inspiration for my vision. They have survived four mass extinctions. We are now on the cusp of the final mass extinction, caused by a species of clever but greedy primates known as homo sapien.<br />
:'''Red:''' Everyone dies, Mr. Crandall.<br />
:'''Crandall:''' Death is a process. No one is really dead until the information contained in the brain is lost. Cryonic preservation prevents that loss.<br />
:'''Red:''' Are you a gambling man, Crispin?<br />
:'''Crandall:''' No. I abhor casinos.<br />
:'''Red:''' Oh, yes. Well, I would agree with you there. But perhaps you're familiar with the old saw "You can't beat the house"? No matter how many poor souls you turn into popsicles, the fix is in.<br />
:'''Red:''' The world in which you awaken will be one incapable of sustaining human life. And why? Because at the critical tipping point, one tragically quixotic megalomaniac cannibalized humanity of the very minds that might have been its salvation.<br />
:'''Red:''' You see, if you were a betting man, you would understand that now trumps later every time.<br />
:'''Red:''' The future is a sucker's bet, a maybe, a contingency, a "What if?"<br />
:'''Red:''' The only thing that is real is the present, and you've plundered it, robbed it of the very geniuses that might have averted the dystopia you so fear.<br />
:'''Red:''' Indeed, perhaps even the very one who might have devised a means to revive your sad, tired, frozen ass.<br />
:'''Red:''' Congratulations, Crispin. You've doubled down on extinction. <br />
:'''Crandall:''' Life on Earth is going to end. Soon. Cryonics is our only hope.<br />
:'''Red:''' It won't work.<br />
:'''Crandall:''' I'm betting it will.<br />

:'''Patrick''': ''[resentfully]'' Wouldn't ''you'' like to know?
:'''SpongeBob''': And why is that bag on your head?
:'''Patrick''': ''[sarcastically]'' Why? Oh, no reason. ''[angrily]'' Except you gave me the ugly! ''[whips the bag off. SpongeBob recoils and gasps as he walks out]'' What am I gonna do?! I can't go out looking like this!
:'''SpongeBob''': Just remember what we talked about; there's power in pride.
:'''Patrick''': That may be fine for you, but I was one of the beautiful people. Now look at me! ''[his breath reaches SpongeBob, who smells it and makes a disgusted face]'' I'm almost as ugly as you!
:'''Patrick''': I always thought if I was as ugly as that guy, I don't know what I'd do.
:'''SpongeBob''': Patrick...?
:'''Patrick''': What's my mom gonna say?
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[holding his nose]'' Patrick?
:'''Patrick''': Oh, my gosh, if my sister finds out...
:'''SpongeBob''': Patrick?
:'''Patrick''': ...wait, I don't have a sister. If the bank...
:'''SpongeBob''': Patrick?
:'''Patrick''': I mean it's one thing if you have bad shoes or even bad hair, but-
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[having had enough, he enlarges to stop Patrick's babbling]'' '''''PATRICK!''''' ''[shrinks back to normal]'' You're not ugly, your breath stinks. Really bad.
:'''Patrick''': ''[sighs with relief, his stench in the shape of skull and crossbones]'' Ah, what a relief...
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[his eyes water from the foul smell]'' Ugh, '''''barnacles''''', Patrick! What did you eat?!
:'''Patrick''': Oh, some roast beef, some chicken, a pizza...
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[holding his nose]'' No, I mean just this morning.
:'''Patrick''': Some roast beef, some chicken, a pizza...
:'''SpongeBob''': What else?
:'''Patrick''': Well, I had some of your sundae.
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[realizing]'' Sundae... ''[whips out what's left of it]'' Patrick! My sundae gave us rancid breath!
:'''Patrick''': Whatcha mean?
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[coughs]'' I mean, we're not ugly! We just ''stink!''
===''Bossy Boots'' [2.2b]===
:'''Pearl''': SpongeBob, what do you like better? The Kutie Krab or the Kooky Krab?
:'''Squidward''': For what, dare I ask?
:'''Pearl''': The new name for our new look. I mean, "The Krusty Krab" has got to go. Who wants to eat at a place they think is crusty? Bleh.
:'''Squidward''': Well, sure it's a terrible name, but this is a terrible place. Therefore, the name should be left alone. Right, SpongeBob?
:'''SpongeBob''': I got it! How about The Khaotic Krab?
:'''Pearl''': How about The Kissy Krab? ''[smooches]''
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[dressed as a king]'' The King Krab.
:'''Pearl''': ''[holds up a lollipop]'' The Kandy Krab.
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[dressed like a beat poet]'' The Kool Krab. ''[dressed as a cowboy]'' Or the Kowboy Krab. ''[stretched out]'' The Kurly Krab. ''[dressed as a mad scientist]'' The ''Kreepy'' Krab. ''[dressed as a crazy killer jungle man]'' '''''THE KILLER KRAB!!'''''
:'''Pearl''': ''[gasps]'' No!
:'''SpongeBob''': You're right, too scary.
:''[Pause]''
:'''SpongeBob and Pearl''': The Kuddly Krab! ''[they both hug and laugh]''
:''[A rainbow of colors fills the screen. Pearl, SpongeBob and an anguished Squidward stand outside the new restaurant. The sign for the restaurant is now a heart and a cutesy robot Krabs is waving his arms atop it. The restaurant outside itself is tie-dyed with colors and rainbows and the flags are now hearts. Balloons are hanging from the roof and giant lollipops come from the chimney. Pearl and SpongeBob, giggling, walk back in the restaurant. Squidward is so mad in fact that the two K's on his uniform catch on fire and he shakes the pole. The female fish and Fred drive by in a car]''
:'''Female Fish''': It's a shame old man Krabs sold the Krusty Krab.
:'''Fred''': That's a darn shame. Hey, lady! Do you know where we can get something to eat around here?
:'''Squidward''': THAT'S IT, I'LL QUIT!!! ''[rips off his uniform, revealing nothing under it. A police whistle is blown and the police fish comes over and writes him a ticket for indecent exposure and places it between his legs]'' Oops.

===''Big Pink Loser'' [2.3a]===
:''[Patrick showing SpongeBob his award]''
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[reading award caption]'' "For outstanding achievement in achievement" - 'SpongeBob SquarePants'?
:'''Patrick''': "SpongeBob SquarePants"? That's a funny way to spell my name.
:'''SpongeBob''': Uh, Patrick, I think the award is for me. You must have got it by mistake.
:'''Patrick''': ''[sadly]'' But, it's shiny!
:'''SpongeBob''': Yeah, but, you know what else is shiny?
:'''Patrick''': Ice cream!
:'''SpongeBob''': Exactly!
:'''Patrick''': I can find it! Is it in here?
:'''SpongeBob''': No, don't! That's my---- ''[Patrick opens the door and an enormous pile of trophies tumble out]'' award closet.
:'''Patrick''': ''[tearing up]'' I want an award!
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[pops up with prized ribbons on his eyes]'' Aw, Patrick, don't cry.
:''[Patrick cries]''
<hr width=50%>
:''[The phone rings and Patrick picks up the receiver]''
:'''Male Caller 1''': ''[on the phone]'' Is this the Krusty Krab?
:'''Patrick''': No, this is Patrick. ''[hangs up and whistles; the phone rings again and picks it up again]''
:'''Female Caller''': ''[on the phone]'' Is this the Krusty Krab?
:'''Patrick''': ''[annoyed]'' No, this is Patrick. ''[hangs up again and continues to whistle; the phone rings and he picks it up again]''
:'''Male Caller 2''': ''[on the phone]'' Is this the Krusty Krab?
:'''Patrick''': '''''NO, THIS IS PATRICK!!!''''' ''[slams phone back onto hook]'' I'm not a Krusty Krab.
:'''SpongeBob''': Uh, Patrick, that's the name of the restaurant.
:'''Patrick''': Huh? FISHPASTE!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Patrick''': I'm never going to get an award now.
:'''SpongeBob''': Don't give up, Patrick! This time I got something I ''know'' you can do. We're going to open a [[w:jar|jar]]. ''[takes the lid off the jar]'' Easy! Now you try. First, get a jar.
:''[Patrick grabs a pickle]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Patrick, that's a [[w:pickle|pickle]].
:'''Patrick''' Yes.
:'''SpongeBob''': You need a jar. ''[Patrick holds up a spatula]'' No. ''[Patrick takes off his shorts]'' No. ''[Patrick picks up SpongeBob]'' No. Try this. ''[gives Patrick a jar]''
<hr width=50%>
:'''SpongeBob and Patrick''': ''[are at the grill frying patties. They both whistle to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat", then stop, and they both wipe their foreheads]'' Whew!
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[drops his spatula; laughs]'' Dropped my spatula. ''[bends down to pick it up]''
:'''Patrick''': Uh, me too. ''[drops his spatula and bends down to pick it up]''
:''[SpongeBob and Patrick bend back up and SpongeBob takes off his hat, then Patrick takes off his, they both put their hats back on, then they both put their hands on the grill; Patrick's hand burns after a few seconds]''
:'''Patrick''': Owwww!
:'''SpongeBob''': Aha! ''[shows the fake hand]'' You're copying me!
:'''Patrick''': Yes.
:'''SpongeBob''': Why are you doing that?
:'''Patrick''': So I can win an award like you.
:'''SpongeBob''': Well, it's annoying, so stop it!
:'''Patrick''': Stop it. ''[both imitate the others facial expressions]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Say, you're good.
:'''Patrick''': Thanks.
:'''SpongeBob and Patrick''': Ha! Darn. ''[both look at each other with suspicion, while rubbing their chins. They later watch each other as they dance to "Mary had a Little Lamb"]'' Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as '''PICKLE FISH LIPS!!!!!''' ''[both cover their mouths]'' Seaweavel. ''[both cover their mouths again]'' Yorgyshmorgies. ''[both cover their mouths yet again]''
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[in his head]'' At least I'm safe inside my mind.
:'''Patrick''': ''[in his head; as SpongeBob realizes that he wasn't safe in his mind]'' At least I'm safe inside my mind.
:'''SpongeBob and Patrick''': Aaaggghhh!
:''[SpongeBob and Patrick then run out of the Krusty Krab]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Stop copying me!
:'''Patrick''': There's no award for that!
:'''Squidward''': ''[leaning against the Krusty Krab sign pole, reading a newspaper, a Krusty Krab hat falls near him]'' Well, I guess it's safe to go in now. ''[puts his hat back on and walks back in]''
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[he and Patrick are still running]'' Patrick, how long are you gonna keep this up?
:'''Patrick''': Until I have as many awards as you.
:'''SpongeBob''': We'll see about that!
:'''Patrick''': No, we won't.
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[takes out a jump-rope]'' I'm the jump-rope champion of Bikini Bottom.
:'''Patrick''': Me too. ''[takes out a jump-rope]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Oh, yeah? I call this one: The Slice N' Dice. ''[crosses his arms and jump-ropes while Patrick tries to imitate but ties himself up with his rope]'' Ha! Not a scratch on me. ''[his body breaks down into pieces, which later hop away]''
:'''Patrick''': Oh, no, you don't! ''[squeezes the rope on himself breaking his body down into smaller pieces, then he and SpongeBob repeatedly hit their heads with a hammer]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Not much fun being me, now, huh, Patrick?
:'''Patrick''': Are you kidding? I used to do this ''way'' before I started copying you. ''''[SpongeBob stops hammering his head but Patrick does not notice. Patrick hits himself faster and too hard, he stops and gets dizzy...]'' Wheeeee-eeeeeyeeehhh-eeeeh. ''[...as trophies appear and spin around his head, tweeting like birds.

:'''Patrick''': What's so great about being a big pink loser?
===''Bubble Buddy'' [2.3b]===
<hr width=50%>
:'''SpongeBob''': [[w:stick|Stick]] buddy! ''[the stick falls over]'' Nah. [[rock|Rock]] buddy! Nope. [[w:sink|Sink]] buddy! ''[a drip of water comes out of the sink]'' Almost.
:'''Squidward''': Here, one of everything! No cheese, no crust, no pickles to the left, four squirts of ketchup, wheat buns, non-dairy lettuce, and farm-raised tomatoes, ''carnival style!'' And if there is anything else I can do, '''''please hesitate to ask.'''''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Francis''': He kept us ''waiting'' for a bubble?
:'''Larry''': That's nothing! He called us fat! ''[begins crunching on celery stalks along with others]''
:'''Pearl''': ''[crying as she shows her clean flipper]'' He washed my flipper!
:'''Mr. Krabs''': ''[storming up]'' He owes ''me'' money!
:'''Squidward''': ''[following Mr. Krabs]'' He made me provide excellent service!
:'''Scooter''': ''[appears with a halo and angel clothing on]'' Dudes! He made me experience high tide! ''[floats up towards the surface while laughing]''
:'''Tom''': He poisoned our water supply, burned our crops and delivered a plague unto our houses!
:'''Protesters''': He did?
:'''Tom''': No...But are we just gonna wait around until he does?
:'''Mr. Krabs''': I say we tip somethin' over!
:''[All yelling, everyone tips the lifeguard stand]''
:'''Lifeguard''': Hey!
:''[The stand crashes to the ground]''
:'''Protester''': Now what?
:'''Protesters''': Get the lifeguard! ''[they go to the lifeguard]''
:'''Squidward''': ''[stops them]'' Wait! Don't waste this senseless violence on him! It's that stupid bubble of SpongeBob's that's causing all the problems! ''[holds up a needle]'' Who's with me?!
:'''Protesters''': Pop the bubble! ''[hold up needles]''
==Episode 4==
===''Dying for Pie'' [2.4a]===
:'''Mr. Krabs''': So, are you ready?
:'''Squidward''': To go home?
:'''Mr. Krabs''': No, to exchange gifts for Employee Brotherhood Day.
:'''Squidward''': Mr. Krabs, you pay me to stand behind this register, and take orders, and give change. But you could never pay me enough to act brotherly towards '''''that guy'''''. ''[points to SpongeBob]''
<hr width ="50%">
:'''SpongeBob''': You know, if I were to die right now in some sort of fiery explosion due to the carelessness of a friend, well, that would just be okay. ''[Squidward tears up until he hears a burping sound by SpongeBob]'' Huh? ''[SpongeBob burps again]''Wow, it feels like something just dropped into my lower intestine. ''[smells the aroma]'' Hey, smells like cherry. Or maybe grape. Blueberry? ''[the sun starts to go down]'' Here it is, the sunset! I always love to count it down. Five... You do the rest, buddy.
:'''Squidward''': Four... three... two... one... ''[nothing happens]''
:'''SpongeBob''': I guess we started too early! Let's start again!
:'''Squidward''': Five... four... three... ''[an explosion is heard from behind the wall]'' ...two... ''[crying]'' ...one! Well, at least l was able to make his last few hours meaningful. ''[sighs]'' I am such a good person. ''[another explosion is seen behind the wall but this time, it knocks the brick wall down with black smoke on top of Squidward, revealing SpongeBob, still alive and well, blowing some bomb-shaped bubbles with black smoke and the bubble explodes]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Hey, Squidward, check this out!
:'''Squidward''': What the?! I-I thought you... ''[babbles angrily]''
<hr width ="50%">
:'''SpongeBob''': Squidward, we played babble like an idiot!
:'''Squidward''': '''''WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?!'''''
:'''SpongeBob''': Well, since we finished everything on the list, I thought I'd make up a new one. ''[holds up a book that says "Friends 4 Ever"]'' I already filled up this book of ideas! We should be able to finish by January.
:'''Squidward''': '''''FORGET THE BOOK!''''' ''[slaps the book away]'' I spent the whole day with you, doing all kinds of ridiculous things because '''''you''''' were supposed to '''''EXPLODE!'''''
:'''SpongeBob''': You want me to explode?
:'''Squidward''': Yes, that's what I've been '''''waiting for!'''''
:'''SpongeBob''': Um... okay, I'll try. ''[strains himself]'' '''''GARY! YOU ARE GONNA FINISH YOUR DESSERT, AND YOU ARE GONNA LIKE IT!''''' ''[laughs]'' Now it's your turn.
:'''Squidward''': ''[yells, hops up and down furiously]'' '''''THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT, YOU BARNACLEHEAD!'''''
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[claps]'' Ooh, good one.
:'''Squidward''': NO! You're supposed to '''''explode''''' into a million pieces! ''[flaps his arms]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Why would I do that?
:'''Squidward''': Because the '''''pie''''' you ate '''''was a bomb!'''''
:'''SpongeBob''': What pie?
:'''Squidward''': The one I left sitting on the counter this morning that I bought from pirates for 25 bucks, and I didn't know it was a bomb, and you ate it, th... that pie!
:'''SpongeBob''': Pie...? ''[realizes; takes out the exploding pie from before]'' Oh! You mean ''this'' pie! ''[Squidward is shocked]'' I was saving it in my pocket for us to share. Let's eat! ''[walks forward and trips on a rock]'' Oops! ''[the pie flies into Squidward's face in slow-motion, causing an explosion in Bikini Bottom the size of an atomic bomb]''
:'''Squidward''': ''[the town is now decimated]'' Ouch. ''[fade to black, episode ends]''
===''Imitation Krabs'' [2.4b]===
:'''Plankton''': You can't do this to me, Krabs. ''[Mr. Krabs blows Plankton back to the Chum Bucket]'' I went to college! ''[crashes into his restaurant]'' Ouch.
:'''Robot Krabs''': Okay, now let's hear that formula.
:'''SpongeBob''': Sorry, no can do, Mr. Krabs.
:'''Robot Krabs''': ''[his eyes are now on fire]'' '''''Whaaaaaaaat???'''''
:'''Plankton''': ''[cut to inside of robot]'' But we did everything you said - I followed all the rules! I even ate 105 black licorice jellybeans through a straw! ''[holds up a straw]''
:'''Robot Krabs''': Now why can't you tell me the formula?
:'''SpongeBob''': It's '''''your''''' rule: never speak the formula. You told me to keep it in ''[holds up a bottle with the secret formula in it]'' ...this bottle. ''[Robot Krabs' eyes open widely with a "ding!" sound effect]''
:'''Plankton''': ''[inside the robot]'' This is it, Plankton. ''[pushes a lever]'' Gently now... ''[continues to push the lever, getting overly excited as he gets closer. The penny that Mr. Krabs was chasing earlier rolls under the door, then Mr. Krabs rushes in, and he gasps, including SpongeBob and the guy on the penny]''
:'''Robot Krabs''': Gasp!
:'''Mr. Krabs''': How could you do this, SpongeBob? Givin' me secret formuler to this...imposter?!
:'''Robot Krabs''': Don't listen to him, SpongeBob. Remember: ravioli, ravioli, give me the formuloli.
:'''Mr. Krabs''': SpongeBob, no! Don't listen to him! I'm the '''''real''''' Mr. Krabs!
:'''Robot Krabs''': Don't listen to him. He's obviously a robot. ''[exhaust pipe smokes]''
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Well, if I '''''was''''' a robot, which I'm '''''not''''', at least I'm well-put together, not some rusted-out, steam-driven pile of junk!
:'''Robot Krabs''': Who are you callin' steam-driven...?
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[yelling in frustration]'' '''''Quiet!''''' Until I know who the real Mr. Krabs is, nobody moves, ''[holds a hose attached to a tartar sauce machine]'' nobody gets hurt.
:'''Mr. Krabs and Robot Krabs''': Tartar sauce?!
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Take it easy with that thing, son. Ahh!
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[squirts some tartar sauce, causing Mr. Krabs to jump into robot Krabs' arms]'' I'll do the talkin' around here. I think I'll ask you two a couple of questions; questions only the '''''real''''' Mr. Krabs could answer.
:'''Mr. Krabs''': ''[smiles while Robot Krabs looks worried]'' Okay, then.
:'''SpongeBob''': First question: what time does the Krusty Krab open?
:'''Robot Krabs''': ''[beats Mr. Krabs to it]'' 9:30 A.M.
:'''SpongeBob''': Right. ''[to Mr. Krabs]'' That's one strike, Mr. Fake.
:'''Mr. Krabs''': But-
:'''SpongeBob''': Nuh-uh-uh! I'm runnin' this quiz show, I'll ask the questions. If there's gonna be any 'buts', they're gonna be from me. ''[while rubbing the hose nozzle]'' Okay, now, question two: how much does a Krabby Patty cost?
:'''Mr. Krabs''': $2.99!
:'''SpongeBob''': On Wednesday...
:'''Robot Krabs''': 99 cents.
:'''SpongeBob''': Right again! ''[to Mr. Krabs]'' You're starting to look pretty phony right about now. I'd be nervous if I were you. Now, only the really real Mr. Krabs could answer this - if we're discussing the secret formula on the third Wednesday in January and it's not raining outside after we've gargled with vanilla pudding, what do we do?
:'''Mr. Krabs''': That's an easy one. You just...just.. let's see...if it's...uh...if it's January...with...with vanilla pudding...you...uh...pass? ''[gets shot with tartar sauce]''
==Episode 5==
===''Wormy'' [2.5a]===
:'''Mr. Krabs''': What's the meaning of this, SpongeBob?
:'''SpongeBob''': We're in serious danger! There's a-a-a...a monster out there.
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Is it a paying customer?
:'''SpongeBob''': Oh no, Mr. Krabs. It doesn't want to eat Krabby Patties. It wants to eat you!
:'''Patrick''': ''[crying]'' Just like it ate Wormy!
:'''Squidward''': Um, Wormy? ''[SpongeBob and Patrick cry]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Why?! Why?! He was so young!
:'''Patrick''': We’ll never forget you, Wormy!
:'''Squidward''': Well, if Moron Theater's over, I think I'll just take a look at this "monster."
===''Patty Hype'' [2.5b]===

:'''SpongeBob''': Hey, Patrick, are you angry too?
:'''Patrick''': Yeah.
:'''SpongeBob''': What's the matter?
:'''Patrick''': I can't see my forehead. What's your problem?
:'''SpongeBob''': I got a good idea, and no one else thinks so!
<hr width =50%">
:'''Mr. Krabs''': I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready... for me money. ''[the crowd gathers around him]'' Welcome to Pretty Patties. May I take your money?
:'''Female Fish''': We want a refund, Krabs! ''[crowd form a mob while yelling and protesting in agreement]''
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Who, huh, what?
:'''Gus''': Your dumb Pretty Patties turned my face purple! ''[shows his purple face]''
:'''Scottish Man''': Look what I got under me kilt! ''[raises his kilt to reveal a plaid body, and white underwear]''
:'''Grease Fish, Female Fish & Frank''': And look at our tongues!
:''[They show Mr. Krabs their respective tongues. They each show a yellow tongue, an orange tongue with green spots, and a tongue that just looks normal]''
:'''Mr. Krabs''': What's wrong with you?
:'''Frank''': ''[turns off a light to reveal his tongue is glow-in-the-dark green]'' We want our money back. All 46,853 of us. ''[turns the light back on, but Mr. Krabs is gone]''
:'''Harold''': Hey, where'd he go?
:''[Mr. Krabs screams and runs, and the crowd chasing him makes a rainbow road]''
==Episode 6==
===''Grandma's Kisses'' [2.6a]===
:'''SpongeBob''': You're wrong! There's nothing wrong with getting kisses from your grandma!
:'''Charlie''': No. Especially if you're a ''BIG BABY'' who wears '''''DIAPERS!''''' ''[group laughs]'' And sucks his thumb, and plays with dolls, and, um... wears pajamas with feet in 'em, and carries his, um... blankie around, and uh...
:'''Group''': ''[annoyed]'' '''''ALL RIGHT ALREADY!'''''
:'''Squidward''': Cheer up, SpongeBob. I know someone who still likes you.
:'''SpongeBob''': Really? You do, Squidward?
:'''Squidward''': Yeah, your grandma!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Patrick''': You know how grandmas are, they love babies. You just can't act like a baby around her.
:'''SpongeBob''': You're right, Patrick.
:'''Patrick''': Have I ever not been right? ''[The scene cuts to a picture of SpongeBob on a giant red firecracker, a picture of SpongeBob with a giant funnel in his mouth while Patrick holds a giant pumpkin, and a picture of SpongeBob and Patrick in black speedos while a wolf whistle is heard in the background]'' You're a man now, SpongeBob, and it's time you starting acting like one.
:'''SpongeBob''': Yeah! Oh, but I'm not sure I know how.
:'''Patrick''': Allow me to demonstrate. First, puff out your chest. ''[SpongeBob obediently puffs out his chest]'' And say 'tax exemption'.
:'''SpongeBob''': Tax exemption.
:'''Patrick''': Now you must acquire a taste for free-form jazz.
:''["Pressure Point" by Duncan Lamont plays, with SpongeBob and Patrick having serious expressions on their faces while listening]''
:'''Patrick''': Okay, SpongeBob, you're ready!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Grandma''': I'll bet you'd fancy a nap, huh, Patrick? ''[Patrick yawns]'' You still here, SpongeBob?
:'''SpongeBob''': Uh, I don't need to leave yet. I can be late for work.
:'''Grandma''': ''[puts a blanket over Patrick as he lays on the couch]'' No, no, no, that wouldn't be the adult thing to do.
:'''SpongeBob''': Alright, I guess I'll be going. I've, uh, got a lot of adult-type business to take care of, so, I'll see ya later.
:'''Grandma''': Okay, thanks for stopping by, SpongeBob.
:'''SpongeBob''': Yep, that is it. Here I go.
:'''Grandma''': Come again if you get the chance.
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[opens the door]'' Out into the cold, grown-up world alone without a sweater.
:'''Grandma''': Toodleloo.
:'''SpongeBob''': I don't know when I'll be back.
:'''Grandma''': I know how busy you are.
:'''SpongeBob''': So, that's it. ''[Patrick is sleeping]''
:'''Grandma''': Shh, he's asleep.
:'''SpongeBob''': So long... ''[SpongeBob slowly closes the door of grandma's house, but then slams it with a sad look on his face. He starts throwing a tantrum]'' I DON'T WANNA GROW UP! I want cookies! ''[holds a big cookie and snaps it in half in front of his face]'' And milky! ''[holds a giant milk bottle, then comes up with a sweater]'' I want a sweater with love in the stitches! I wanna wear diapers! ''[comes up with a diaper on and puts some baby powder into it]'' I wanna ride in my wagon! ''[rides in a wagon, then holds a big teddy bear]'' I wanna cuddle-wuddle with Mr. Stuffykins! I wanna rockey-rock my seahorsey! ''[rocks on his wooden seahorse with a hat and a lollipop]'' And I want a kissy on my boo-boo! ''[shows his bruised finger. He starts crying hysterically. He lies on the floor and cries while slamming his fists against the ground and then rolls like a wheel. Grandma looks at him sadly.

:'''Grandma''': Take it easy, SpongeBob! ''[picks up SpongeBob, who is still crying]'' SpongeBob? SpongeBob! ''[she holds SpongeBob's mouth, stopping him from crying]'' SpongeBob, you don't have to be a baby to get all of Grandma's love.
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[sniffs]'' I don't?
:'''Grandma''': Of course not. ''[pushes a cork in the floor and all SpongeBob's tears drain out]'' No matter how big you get, you will always be my little baby boo, and remember, you can kiss your grandma and still be an adult. ''[hands SpongeBob his sideburns and a chocolate chip cookie]'' Here you go. ''[SpongeBob puts on his sideburns and eats the cookie]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Thanks, Grandma. ''[bites the cookie]'' Uh, Grandma, could you not mention this to the guys down at the Krusty Krab?
:'''Grandma''': No problem. ''[hugs SpongeBob. Outside, Squidward and everyone else are laughing as the episode ends]''
===''Squidville'' [2.6b]===
:'''Squidward''': ''[in a state of tranquil fury]'' SpongeBob, this is the final straw. I'm going to move so far away that I will be able to brag about it. I would... ''[a piece of debris from his house falls on his head]'' I would rather tear out my brain-stem, carry it out into the middle of the nearest 4-way intersection, and skip rope with it, than continue living where I do now.
:''[A TV falls on the ground and turns on. On the television is an octopus, who looks like Squidward, but with a hair piece. He is in a suit and stands in front of a rainbow.]''
:'''Announcer''': Hi, there. Is this the final straw? Do you want to move so far away that you can brag about it? Would you rather tear out your brain-stem, walk out to the middle of the nearest three-way?
:'''Squidward''': Four-way.
:'''Announcer''': Four-way intersection and skip rope with it, than continue living where you do now? Then move to...
:'''Patrick''': ''[suddenly changes the channel to a static screen]'' I hate this channel.
:'''Squidward''': No! No! ''[changes it back]''

:'''SpongeBob''': Here it is, Patrick. Now we've just got to convince Squidward to come back home. You got our apology cake?
:''[Patrick picks up a cake that reads, 'Sorry.' He puts it back in his pants, revealing a giant cake-shaped bulge in them]''
:'''SpongeBob''': We're ready!
:'''Patrick''': Ying. ''[SpongeBob pushes the button on the intercom]''
:'''Guard''': Hello, can I help you?
:'''Patrick''': ''[thinking it's a restaurant intercom]'' Can I get a large #1, extra size?
:'''SpongeBob''': But ya just ate three orders of fried oyster skins!
:'''Patrick''': ''[unleashing a noxious gas cloud as he says this]'' I love fried oyster skins.
:''[cut to inside the control room, where the guard sees SpongeBob and Patrick on one of his monitors]''
:'''Guard''': We're sorry, but ''your kind'' isn't allowed here. ''[a security guard walks up next to him]'' He's not leaving, Orville. You got your night stick ready? ''[the two smell Patrick's breath cloud as it wafts in through the speaker]'' FRIED OYSTER SKINS?! Ooooohhhhh... ''[the two collapse, the first guard falling on a button opening the gate]''
:'''Patrick''': I guess we gotta order inside.

:''[Meanwhile, a group of octopuses are angrily chasing after a happy-go-lucky Squidward. He sucks the noses off of three houses whilst running by. SpongeBob and Patrick are walking by when they see Squidward run past them.]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Hey! That looked like Squidward! [the mob runs past them] That looked like Squidward also, in angry mob form! [Squidward has approached a dead end]
:'''Policeman''': Hold it right there, Mr. Tentacles!
:'''Squidward''': Stand back! I've got gardening tools! ''[the policeman hands him an envelope]''
:'''Policeman''': Here! Just read this! ''[Squidward looks at it]''
:'''Squidward''': What is it?
:'''Policeman''': A well thought out and organized list of complaints! ''[the mob shouts out in agreement. SpongeBob and Patrick walk by]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Patrick, look! It's Squidward! ''[he runs up to the octopus and hugs him, but he's a different octopus with eyebrows and mustache, and a shirt like Squidward's]'' Squidward! We finally found you! ''[the octopus pushes SpongeBob off him]''
:'''Male Octopus''': Get off me, and I'm not Squidward! ''[pause]''
:'''Patrick''': Are you Squidward now?
:'''Squidward''': Grievances?! This town is a grievance! There should be a law against so many stuck-up tightwads living in one place! This city needs to be destroyed! [pause] Or at least painted a different color.
:'''Policeman''': F.Y.I., you don't have to live here, you know. ''[Squidward, and the crowd, smile]''
:'''Squidward''': Hey, you're right! ''[the crowd members' smiles fade]'' And I'm leaving A.S.A.P.! ''[meanwhile, SpongeBob and Patrick are trying to find Squidward]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Are you Squidward?
:'''Male Octopus''': No. ''[he walks up to the croquet woman]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Are you Squidward?
:'''Squidette''': No. ''[Patrick talks to a fire hydrant]''
:'''Patrick''': Are you Squidward? ''[pause]'' That's okay, take your time. ''[SpongeBob walks up to him]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Any one of these Squidwards can be the real Squidward, Patrick! [the town rumbles as Squidward rockets the leaf blower out of Tentacle Acres and laughs maniacally. The octopuses smile]
:'''Squidward''': Freedom! Woo-hoo! ''[SpongeBob and Patrick watch him fly over the horizon]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Well, we know one thing: it sure isn't that guy. ''[the episode ends]''
==Episode 7==
===''Prehibernation Week'' [2.7a]===
[The episode starts with Sandy in her treedome, who is raking leaves while humming]
Sandy: There we go! [rakes a pile of leaves in the shape of Texas] SpongeBob, I got all the leaves ra... [steps on piles of leaves still on the ground ] SpongeBob, what are all these leaves doing here? You said you were going to rake them!
SpongeBob: [peeks his head out of a pile of leaves he is in] I am raking the leaves.
Sandy: But they're still all over the ground!
SpongeBob: Sandy, I can't rake any faster. [picks up a leaf and starts scraping it with a tiny rake] These are big leaves. [leaf breaks into more pieces] And they keep breaking into more leaves.
Sandy: [pushes him away and rakes them herself] Then go scrape the salt lick or somethin'! We got to get this stuff done before it's too late!
SpongeBob: What's the big rush anyway, Sandy?
Sandy: [hanging laundry] I told ya, SpongeBob... [scrubs the birdbath with a toothbrush] I'm hibernating next week.
SpongeBob: Hibernating? What's that?
Sandy: [painting the fence] It's when I go to sleep for the whole winter.
SpongeBob: Can I do that?
Sandy: [chuckles] No, silly. It's a mammalian thing. [paints over SpongeBob's helmet]
SpongeBob: Sandy, you may not have noticed, but I is 100% ma-mmal.
Sandy: [cleaning her exercise wheel] Enough chitter-chatter, SpongeBob. We don't have much time left!
SpongeBob: Why, Sandy? When does your... "carburation" begin? [Sandy jumps down, pulling down a giant calendar with a giant x on the 8th]
Sandy: In one week!
SpongeBob: But Sandy, that only gives us 1, 2, 3... [gasps] 168 more hours of playtime!
Sandy: You're telling me. And there's still so much stuff to do! We gotta climb some things!
SpongeBob: Climb!
Sandy: We gotta jump off of stuff!
SpongeBob: Jump!
Sandy: We gotta ride!
SpongeBob: Ride!
Sandy: I don't wanna go to sleep yet!
SpongeBob: Wait, Sandy! [Sandy begins to cry]
Sandy: I can't burn carbs in my sleep!
SpongeBob: Sandy?
Sandy: What?!
SpongeBob: Sandy, I'm willing to sacrifice any of my time that I haven't already sold to Mr. Krabs to you. [Pantera playing]
Sandy: Well, I'm glad, SpongeBob, 'cause for the next seven days, it's gonna be you, me, and these sweatbands! [holds them up. Cut to the giant sand mountains area. Sandy is riding a giant clam shell smashing through a sign] Yee-ha! [sliding down the mountain so fast she is now on fire, heating the sand to a trail of glass. She zooms past a fish with a backpack on his back. When she goes past him, he drops to the ground and rolls around because he is on fire. She then streaks past a man and a woman skiing. The woman now wears a jogging outfit and the man is now wearing kids' clothing, riding a tricycle, and holding a lollipop and a paddleball. The woman looks at him]
Unnamed Fish #1: Uh... I can explain. [Sandy flips in mid-air, still on fire]
Sandy: I'm hotter than a hickory-smoked sausage! Woo-hoo! [Cut to SpongeBob wearing green head gear. He discards his shell board and glides down the mountain on his tongue. Cut to two kids, building a sandman]
Girl: Maybe, if we sing that song, he'll come to life.
Billy: Ready?
Both: [singing] Oh, there once was a sandman... [SpongeBob rides into the sandman. a musical note pops up]
SpongeBob: Life's as extreme as you want to make it! [jumps off the mountain] Whoo!
Girl: Maybe we didn't sing it right. [SpongeBob is flying toward the ground. When he hits it, two bones are sticking out]
SpongeBob: Yeah. [cut to Sandy and SpongeBob standing outside Sandy's treedome] Whew, what a workout. [pulls out his right arm and shows its damages] I'm going to be feeling this tomorrow. [his arm falls to the ground] Ow.
Sandy: I got to say, I'm impressed with you, SpongeBob. You're making this the best prehibernation week ever.
SpongeBob: Well, I'd better get home before Gary chews up the sofa again. [sighs as he lifts up his left leg and moves it alternately with the other over to his house. Later, it's nighttime and he is finally crawling into bed] Good night, Gary. [falls asleep. Then Sandy pushes a button which launches SpongeBob out of his bed and into a lake. SpongeBob is now a block of ice. Sandy jumps in and becomes a block of ice]
Sandy: Nothing like a refreshing morning dip, huh, SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: [shivering] W-what h-happened to s-sleeping? [Sandy pulls down a calendar]
Sandy: I'll be asleep all winter! We only got three days for fun. [swims away] Well, hurry now! The giant clams like to feed at this hour! [cut to SpongeBob lifting a bowling ball into a tube. Sandy blows her whistle giving the signal and SpongeBob runs to the end and picks up a few jacks before the bowling ball hits him on his head. Sandy does the same thing but the bowling ball cracks her helmet] Isn't this great?
SpongeBob: Yeah! I've never played extreme jacks before! [cut to Sandy and SpongeBob with giant q-tips]
Sandy: Okay, SpongeBob, this one's going to be fun. We just whack each other with these giant ear cleaners 'til one of us falls off. [lifts hers up] On your mark... get set...
SpongeBob: Sandy, are you sure we're supposed to be standing up here?
Sandy: Go! [hits SpongeBob off the Sea Needle. SpongeBob lands on a fire hydrant. Sandy rides up on a two-seated bike] Come on, SpongeBob. We're goin' for a tandem ride through the park!
SpongeBob: Gee, that sounds safe! I mean, fun. [gets up but leaves a piece of himself on the fire hydrant. He jumps on the bike] Okay, I'm ready! I thought you said we were riding through the park, Sandy!
Sandy: I did, SpongeBob, the industrial park! [they ride into a giant factory] This is where the real action is! [Sandy pedals on barbed wire] This part gets pretty technical! Yee-haw! Now for the speed course. Hold on! [they ride through a conveyor belt with a giant crunching mouth at the end] I hope we make it! [bike begins to fall to the ground fast. SpongeBob screams] I'm havin' fun, too! [as they hit the ground, SpongeBob melts into a puddle. Sandy tosses a fishing rod on him] Wake up, slowpoke. [scene scrolls over to show a plane] We're going fly-fishing. [rimshot]
SpongeBob: [thinking] This squirrel's trying to kill me! Any more of these stunts and I'll be reduced to a puddle! [sees his shoe floating] Wait a minute, I've got to talk my way out of this! Sandy, I think I need to tell you something.
Sandy: What is it?
SpongeBob: Well, it's just that I'm feeling sort of... [his mouth melts away from his eyes. He pulls it back up] I just feel like maybe I need to... [his mouth melts away again. Sandy puts her hand over his mouth]
Sandy: Hold that thought, SpongeBob! 'Cause it's time for a down-home favorite! [holds up a piece of hay. Pantera plays again] Find the hay in the needle stack! [throws it in a giant pile of needles]
SpongeBob: [bites his fingers in fear. Cut to inside the needle pile where SpongeBob is saying "ow" as he gets pricked by the needles. One needle pricks his nose, causing it to deflate like a balloon. Deep voice] Ouch...
Sandy: Did you find it?
SpongeBob: Not yet.
Sandy: Well I'm going to look over here!
SpongeBob: You do that. [SpongeBob digs a hole underground then emerges]
Sandy: Found it, SpongeBob! [SpongeBob runs away] Come on! Best two out of three!
SpongeBob: Gotta hide! Uh... gotta hide! [looks at his house] Home? No. Gary can't keep a secret. [looks at Patrick's rock] Under a rock? It's so original! [as he jumps for the rock, his pants get stuck on a small coral bush]
Sandy: SpongeBob?! [SpongeBob struggles to get free and eventually does, but leaves his pants stuck on the plant] SpongeBob? [walks up to SpongeBob's pants] Where are you, little square dude? [gasps] SpongeBob's tie! And all his other little dressin's! But... but... he always folds his clothes before runnin' around... [in an odd face expression] in the nude! Somethin' terrible must have happened to him! [goes to the Krusty Krab] Alright, listen up, y'all! I'm rounding up a search party! SpongeBob's gone missing! [Squidward smiles at Mr. Krabs, thinking that Mr. Krabs will not look for SpongeBob. Mr. Krabs gives Squidward an angry look]
Mr. Krabs: Man the lifeboats! [Squidward frowns because they will search for SpongeBob]
Sandy: Alpha Team, you search uptown, Gold Team searches downtown. Any questions?
Frank: Gold Team rules!
Sandy: Now get movin'! [crowd yelling] [Fred put a Lost poster with a picture of SpongeBob] SpongeBob? [Cuts to Sandy and the search party] Someone look up there! [Sandy pops out of a sewer] Put your dorsal fins into it! [cut to searching in the sulfur fields] Come on! He could be anywhere in these sulfur fields! [Incidental 31 looks in a spout]
Clayton : Hey, SpongeBob! [a blast of sulfur hits him in the face] Well, at least I still have my personality.
Sandy: Check in this here moist cave! [Old Man Jenkins, Nathaniel, and Scooter walk in shouting for SpongeBob, then run out screaming, realizing the cave is actually a three-eyed sea elephant]
Sandy: Status report!
Phil: [covered in Poison Sea Urchins] He's not at the Poison Sea Urchin cove.
Sandy: Well, look again!
Vera: [covered in leeches] He's not at the leech farm.
Sandy: Well, look again!
Squidward: He's not in my thoughts.
Sandy: Well, think again! [cut to Sandy talking into a megaphone] Attention, Bikini Bottom, the time has come to double, no, triple our efforts!
Squidward: How about a break?! We've been at it for days!
Debbie: Think about the children!
Sandy: That's a good idea! Use the children to crawl into small places you couldn't normally reach.
Dave: [whispering to Norma] This is a load of barnacles.
Sandy: I heard that! No one's going anywhere until we find SpongeBob!
Frank: Uh... uh, wait! [picks up Francis] Uh, here he is!
Sandy: That ain't SpongeBob! SpongeBob is square!
[Frank squishes and stretches Francis into a square.]
Francis: [in a poor imitation of SpongeBob] I'm ready! I'm ready!
Sandy: No, you ain't! [Clay holds up a box of Kelp-O]
Clay: I found SquareBob!
Sandy: That's just a cereal box. Besides, he's yellow.
Charlie: [holds up a banana] Uh... here he is! Hey, can I go home now? [Sandy becomes annoyed]
Tina: [points up] Oh, look! He's up in the sky! [Sandy happily opens her mouth and looks up, but SpongeBob's not in the sky]
Sandy: Well, he's not... huh? [everyone is gone] They must have gone to search some more. [they hide under Patrick's rock, with their eyeballs peeking out from the bottom, and a cough is heard, Sandy continues searching for SpongeBob] SpongeBob! Where are you?! [lifts up a house] You under there?! [lifts up another house] Nope! [lifts up another house where the unnamed fish from before is at]
Skier: Uh, I can explain.
Sandy: [lifts up another house] SpongeBob? [lifts up another house] Nope! [lifts up another house] Nope! [lifts up another house] Nope! SpongeBob! Where are you?!
Man: [everyone is looking at Sandy] That squirrel's gone crazy.
Woman: But she'll never look under a rock.
SpongeBob: [laughs] You said it! Sandy'll never find us! [everyone glares at SpongeBob. He chuckles nervously, and they throw him out] Hey, wait, you don't understand!
Squidward: [pops out from under the rock] Oh, look, it is I, SpongeBob, out here in the open! [Sandy turns around]
Sandy: SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: [screams in horror] Aah! C'mon, let me back in! You don't understand! [Sandy hugs him while everyone cheers]
Sandy: Oh, SpongeBob, I was so worried! I thought something terrible happened! [grabs his arm] Come on, there's just enough time to go atom smashing! [runs but SpongeBob is not moving]
SpongeBob: Sandy, wait!
Sandy: There's no time to wait! Hibernation! [pulls on SpongeBob's arm]
SpongeBob: Sandy, you've got to make time! This is important! [Sandy lets go of his arm] I... am a man! [holds up a razor] Okay, Sandy, I... I... I... I can't play with you anymore! I just can't take the games! They're... tearing me apart! [rips off his nose and throws it on the ground, then holds onto Sandy's legs crying] There, I said it! Now just promise we can still be friends! Please, Sandy, this isn't easy! I-- [notices Sandy has fallen asleep] Sandy? [chuckles a little] I never thought I'd say it, but thank Neptune for hibernation! [laughs and joins Sandy in her winter slumber, resting his head on her foot in the process]
Patrick: [returning home with groceries and an ice cream] Who are you people?
===''Life of Crime'' [2.7b]===
:'''Patrick''': I wanna go home.
:'''SpongeBob''': We can never go home, Pat; We're wanted men. We'll spend the rest of our lives running. Running, but at least it's warmer on the fire.
:'''Patrick''': Hey, if we’re underwater, how could there be a- ''[The fire dissolves]'' I'm scared, SpongeBob.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Patrick''': Thanks, SpongeBob. I think I'll eat it now! ''[takes a big bite of the still-wrapped chocolate bar, finishes the rest, then sighs and wipes his face]'' I think I'll eat it now. ''[bites his hand accidentally]'' Ow! Huh? Where'd my candy bar go? I must have dropped it.
:'''SpongeBob''': You just ate it, Pat. It's all over your face.
:'''Patrick''': ''[still looking]'' Where'd it go? I'm gonna starve. Where'd it go? I can't find it! Where could it possibly be? ''[looks at SpongeBob]'' A-ha!
:'''SpongeBob''': What?
:'''Patrick''': ''[angrily confronts SpongeBob]'' You stole my candy bar!
:'''SpongeBob''': No, I didn't.
:'''Patrick''': Oh, so that's how it is, huh? Once a thief, always a thief.
:'''SpongeBob''': You ate yours, this is mine.
:'''Patrick''': You took my only food! ''[feels his stomach]'' Now I'm gonna starve!
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[hands Patrick his candy bar]'' Here, Patrick, just take half of mine.
:'''Patrick''': ''[ticked off]'' Yours?! You mean mine!
:'''SpongeBob''': Do you want it or what?!
:'''Patrick''': ''[furiously grabs SpongeBob by the shirt]'' I don't want it unless you admit you took it!
:'''SpongeBob:''' This is my candy bar!
:'''Patrick''': Liar, liar, plants for hire.
:'''SpongeBob''': It's "pants on fire," Patrick.
:'''Patrick''': ''[furiously crosses his arms and angrily pouts]'' Well, you would know... liar.
:'''SpongeBob''': Well, if you're going to be that way, I'll eat it myself!
:'''Patrick''': ''[getting ticked off, fiercely gives SpongeBob a warning]'' You better not. I'm warning you! Don't! ''[High-pitched yelling]'' Stop it! Don't! ''[enraged]'' Ah! ''[covers his ears]'' Ah! ''[screaming and shaking his head, pulls his hair while screaming]''
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[rips open the wrapper]'' Aaah... ''[opens his mouth wide and takes the candy bar closer to his mouth, swaying his tongue up and down, chomps lightly on the bar, puts the bar in his wide open mouth; his two teeth go across the surface of the bar, making strings of chocolate, puts the bar through his head and moves it left to right, licks the candy bar, slowly pushes the candy bar into his mouth and starts chewing]''
:'''Patrick''': ''[turns red in anger]'' You're a crazy person! I should have expected this after the way you stole that balloon!
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[enraged]'' Did I, Patrick, did I? Or did your criminal mind hypnotize me to steal it?!
:'''Patrick''': ''[angrily stomp his foot down]'' Oh! That's it! First the balloon, now my candy bar... you're out of control! I'm... ''[menacingly threatens]'' I'm telling on you.
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[gasps]'' Not if I tell on you first!

:'''Blue Officer''': If ya can't do the time, don't do the crime.
:''[They slam the jail door on SpongeBob and Patrick; two seconds later...]''
:'''Blue Officer''': Okay, time's up. ''[reopens the cell]'' Now get out!
:'''SpongeBob''': But... we stole a balloon.
:'''Blue Officer''': Yeah, on ''Free Balloon Day!''
:''[The officers laugh as SpongeBob and Patrick stare surprised.]''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Orange Officer''': How about some lollipops for the road, boys? ''[gives 2 lollipops]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Let's vow never to borrow anything without permission again.
:'''Patrick''': You said it! ''[the two cross their lollipops, but Patrick's is already eaten]'' All right! Which one of you flatfoots stole my lollipop?
:''[They laugh; cuts to the island at night]''
:'''Patrick:''' ...I mean it.

''[donkey appears on screen making noises]'' ''Cause it feels like the first Christmas to me!♪'' ''[laughs at SpongeBob and hits his butt over and over again]''
:'''SpongeBob''': You were right, Squidward. This was a stupid holiday. ''[cries; takes out a present]'' I still want you to have this.
:'''Squidward''': ''[stops hitting his butt]'' What? What's this?
:'''SpongeBob''': A present. I made it for you so you wouldn't be left out when... ''[lifts his inelegant blubbering head up]'' Santa came! ''[cries some more]''
:'''Squidward''': Oh, gee, I, uh, you know I...
:'''SpongeBob''': You're welcome. ''[sadly walks off and cries]''
:'''Squidward''': SpongeBob? He made me a present? It's probably a jellyfish net, or an old Krabby Patty, or... ''[imitates a hillbilly]'' his favorite underpants. Haha. Present. ''[opens the present]'' Why, it looks like a clarinet. ''[smells it]'' It smells like one, too. Handcrafted out of driftwood. And it's even got my name on it. ''[finds a button that says "push"]'' What's this? ''[pushes the button and three wooden Squidwards with clarinets come out and bob up and down]'' Wow. This is the greatest gift I've ever gotten.

:'''Patrick''': Fun's over.
:'''SpongeBob''': Well, that oughta work.

:'''Patrick''': ''[as Pinhead Larry; with a look that seems to resemble [[w:Zippy the Pinhead|Zippy the Pinhead]]]'' Who you calling Pinhead? I wanna be Dirty Dan!

:'''Patrick''': Uh... I am? ''[bad idea, as Sandy promptly backhands him and sends him flying across the treedome]''

SpongeBob later doesn't seem to be going far because he's right behind Sandy on the exercise wheel. He slips and gets flung across the wheel.

:'''SpongeBob''': Sandy, stand back. I'm warning ya! ''[Sandy roars right in SpongeBob's face]'' Okay, I warned ya! ''[SpongeBob throws the wooden board, Patrick pops up beside Sandy]''
:'''Patrick''': Did you win? ''[he's hit by the board and rolls down the crater to SpongeBob's feet]'' Hi, SpongeBob. ''[Sandy growls before leaping into the crater. SpongeBob and Patrick cling onto each other in fear for their lives as a huge shadow covers them before a cloud obscures them, presumably simulating a fight. The scene fades to the treedome at night where two gravestones are in front of Sandy's Treedome: one for Dirty Dan and one for Pinhead Larry. Patrick and SpongeBob come up from under the snow in respective tombstone order]'' Okay, SpongeBob, you can be Dirty Dan. I just wanna be Patrick.
:'''SpongeBob''': Let's get out of here before Sandy wakes up again!
:''[the two run to the door and SpongeBob tries to open it, but his hands slip off the wheel and accidentally hits Patrick in the face]''
:'''Patrick''': Ouch! ''[covers his eyes in pain]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Sorry, Patrick, but the door is slippery! It's frozen shut!
:'''Patrick''': Let me have a try. ''[he goes up to the door and spits on both hands, preparing to open the door]'' Open sesame! ''[nothing happens, Patrick shrugs]'' Well, I've done all I can do...
:'''SpongeBob''': Then we're stuck in here... until the door thaws... in spring!
:'''Patrick''': Barnacles! ''[cut to much later, where SpongeBob and Patrick are completely buried in the snow, shivering and blue]'' Is it spring yet?
:'''SpongeBob''': Uhh, N-n-n-no. ''[Patrick and SpongeBob's snow covering on their faces break off]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Maybe we should build a fire. I got it! We'll burn the bark from Sandy's tree! ''[SpongeBob begins to pull a strip of bark off the tree, but he is stopped by Sandy's booming voice]''
:'''SpongeBob''': The fire's not gonna happen, Patrick. I don't get it! How does Sandy survive these intense conditions every year?
:'''SpongeBob and Patrick''': Yeah! ''[cut to inside the tree where SpongeBob and Patrick marvel at Sandy's fur]''

:'''Patrick''': No. I'm warm.
:'''SpongeBob''': Let me see that roll of tape.
:'''Patrick''': You said it!
:'''Sandy''': Oh, look, it's SpongeBob and Patrick! ''[With that, SpongeBob and Patrick go crazy trying to open the door. Patrick screams. Sandy walks over, completely hairless and in her bikini]''
:'''Sandy''': Hey, guys! ''[They climb off the door]'' ''[She sees all the different fur assortments the two are wearing. She looks down at her bald pink body and screams in horror.]''
:'''SpongeBob''': It's okay, Sandy. Squirrel pattern baldness is quite common in small mammals. ''[Patrick removes the furry piece from his forehead, smiling fearfully. Sandy is really tickled off now.]''
:'''Sandy''': ''[growling with fury]'' SpongeBob! Patrick!
:'''SpongeBob''': Don't worry, Sandy. We've got you covered.
:''[He giggles nervously. Cut to Sandy's arm pouring some lemonade, she giggles]''
:'''Sandy''': ''[giggles]'' More lemonade, boys? ''[pan out to see that Patrick is curled around Sandy's head and SpongeBob around Sandy's body as punishment for ripping her fur to keep them warm, in order to cover up her bald pink hide and keep her warm until her fur grows back. The two take a glass.]''
:'''SpongeBob and Patrick''': Thanks, Sandy.
:'''Sandy''': Spring sure is lovely.
===''Dumped'' [2.9b]===
:'''Patrick''': Would it be all right if Gary and I did some laundry over here?
:'''SpongeBob''': Laundry? But ''we'' used to do laundry!
:'''Patrick''': And, uh... SpongeBob, could we borrow some soap?
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[on the verge of breaking down]'' Soap? But ''we'' used to use soap! ''[holds up two different types of soap]'' Do you want Fresh Scent or Heavy Du...
:'''Patrick''': Here it comes...
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[breaks out in a fountain of tears, each falling into the separate soapboxes and lathering them up in his hand]'' GARY, PLEASE COME BACK GARY! GARY, PLEASE COME HOME! I'M A WRECK WITHOUT YOU! ''[stops crying]'' I know! If you come back, there'll be a new no-rules rule. You can do whatever you want, when you want! ''[runs up to the sofa and tears it up furiously]'' If you feel like ripping the sofa, then you rip it up! ''[runs up to the litter box]'' And the litter box? Forget about it! ''[he dumps the litter on his head]'' The world is your litter box! ''[he runs to the fridge and opens it]'' And you don't even have to wait around for me to feed you anymore! 24-hour fridge access! ''[he takes a milk carton and drinks it]'' And you don't even have to use a bowl! ''[he runs to a giant carving of Squidward]'' And I know how much you like my prized driftwood carving of Squidward. ''[scratches at it]'' Well, think of it as your own personal scratching post! What do you think, Gary? Won't it be fun, Gary? ''[we see SpongeBob has carved Squidward into a heart]''
:'''Patrick''': How pathetic.
:'''SpongeBob''': Gary? ''[the heart breaks in half and one half hits him. The two walk to the laundry room]''
:'''Patrick''': ''[patronisingly]'' I'm sorry, SpongeBob. But Gary's with me now. You had your chance and you failed. You have to stop living in the past. Face it, SpongeBob, you're only hurting yourself. ''[he takes off his shorts and puts them in the machine; Gary crawls in after them]'' It's what Gary wants, and what Gary wants is me. Right, Gary? ''[Gary does not answer]'' Huh?
:''[The two notice Gary is in the machine, nudging in Patrick's shorts and crunching on something.]''
:'''Patrick''': He only liked me for my shorts!
:'''SpongeBob''': No, Patrick! He wanted the cookie in your pocket!
:''[Gary is indeed eating the cookie. He finishes it, pops out of the machine, and crawls back to SpongeBob]''
:'''Gary''': Meow.
:'''SpongeBob''': Gary? ''[Gary burps and happily meows]'' Whee! ''[hugs Gary]'' Oh, Gary, I knew you'd never leave me! Aww... ''[giggles, he takes his leash]'' Let's go for a walk, pal! ''[the two walk out of the house]''
:'''Patrick''': ''[left alone heartbroken and devastated]'' Gary? I THOUGHT WHAT WE HAD WAS SPECIAL...!!! ''[the episode ends]''

:'''SpongeBob''': Okay, Mrs. Puff, what's my final score?
:'''Mrs. Puff''': Six.
:'''SpongeBob''': Whoo! And how many do I need to pass?
:'''Mrs. Puff''': Six.
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[raising arms slowly]'' Whoo.
:'''Mrs. Puff''': Hundred. ''[SpongeBob stops]''
:'''SpongeBob''': What?
:'''Mrs. Puff''': 600. You need 600 to pass. You got six.
:'''SpongeBob''': Don't worry. I'll be all right, Mrs. Puff. Besides, this means that I get to be in your class for a whole 'nother year! ''[he slams his fist down, which causes a piece of the motor to fly upward]'' Well, see you next Tuesday! ''[SpongeBob walks off and the piece crashes on Mrs. Puff. She inflates like she always does when SpongeBob crashes. SpongeBob runs out to his unicycle-like bike]'' Yeah!

:'''Mrs. Puff''': ''[thinking]'' Oh, Neptune. Another year with him! Barnacles! Dirty barnacles! I've got to do something to save myself. Oh, there's only one way out: a teacher's ace in the hole! ''[starts to talk, when she does, she deflates to her normal size]'' ♪ Extra crediiiiit! ♪
:'''SpongeBob''': What was that, Mrs. Puff? ''[Mrs. Puff runs over and shakes him in joy]''
:'''Mrs. Puff''': Extra credit, SpongeBob! The extra credit! ''[laughing wildly]'' I still have a chance! I mean, you still have a chance.
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[muffled]'' What's extra credit?
:'''Mrs. Puff''': It's when you get credit for the things you weren't able to do before.
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[singing]'' ♪ Oh… ♪
<hr width=50%>
:'''SpongeBob''': Hey! I'm driving! ''[the two notice each other and scream loudly. Mrs. Puff skids off the road for a bit, then returns to normal. SpongeBob jumps up]'' Who are you and what are you doing with my boat? And why are you wearing that ski mask?! Because you're not skiing! Oh, my gosh, I know who you are!

===''Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III'' [2.11a]===
TV Announcer: The New Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy! We join Bikini Bottom's noblest, boldest, oldest superheroes as they bravely prepare for vacation. [both pack their clothes into their bags while the words "FOLD" and "PACK" come up] But wait! While our heroes relax at Leisure Village, who will watch the Mermalair? [Barnacle Boy opens the doors and SpongeBob and Patrick jump in]
SpongeBob: ManSponge...
Patrick: ...and BoyPatrick...
Both: Reporting for duty!
Barnacle Boy: Yeah, yeah, follow me.
Both: Up, up, and away!
Mermaid Man: Evil!
Barnacle Boy: Now, we want you boys to keep an eye on the place. Water the plants, and make sure that...
SpongeBob: Oh, my gosh, Patrick! This is the greatest wall of superhero secret gadgetry ever! I'm going to play with the Cosmic-Ray!
Patrick: I get the Aqua-Glove!
Mermaid Man: Hold on there, boys! You cannot play with this stuff.
SpongeBob: What about the Orb of Confusion? [turns the orb on and makes confused faces]
Mermaid Man: [turns it off] No, no! Prolonged exposure to the Orb of Confusion will give you... uh... confusion!
Patrick: [opens the boat's door] What about the Invisible Boatmobile?
Barnacle Boy: Especially not the Invisible Boatmobile! [closes the boat's door] When we say don't touch anything, we mean don't touch anything! Do you understand?
SpongeBob and Patrick: [salutes] Loud and clear, trusted boy companion!
Barnacle Boy: Well, great. Here are the keys. [SpongeBob takes the key from his hand] We'll see you in a week.
Mermaid Man: [both run out the door] Up, up, and away!
SpongeBob: Come, BoyPatrick, while our heroes are away, we will keep evil at bay! [both flip into the other room while letting out battle cries]
Patrick: Huh? Muh-muh-muh-ma-muh-muh-ma-muh-ma...
SpongeBob: What is it, trusted sidekick?
Patrick: Muh-muh-muh-ma-muh-muh-ma-muh-ma! Muh-muh-muh-ma-muh-muh-ma-muh-ma!
SpongeBob and Patrick: Muh-muh-muh-ma-muh-muh-ma-muh-ma! Muh-muh-muh-ma-muh-muh-ma-muh-ma! Man Ray! [both scream, then hide]
Patrick: Hey, SpongeBob, how come he's not chasing us?
SpongeBob: Looks like he's frozen or something.
Patrick: Fruh-fruh-fruh-fro-fruh-fruh-fro-fruh-fro...
SpongeBob: It appears to be some sort of prison chamber... [licks the chamber] ...made out of frozen tartar sauce. This is incredible! Next to the Dirty Bubble, the evil Man Ray is the all-time greatest arch nemesis of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. I have so many questions to ask him! [Patrick pulls the lever down to UNFREEZE] Pat, what are you doing? We're not supposed to touch anything!
Patrick: But you said you had a question.
SpongeBob: We could get in trouble!
Patrick: Well, that's not a question. [they both argue when Man Ray's eyes start to light up]
SpongeBob: They said not to touch anything and that includes unfreezing a super-villain! [pulls level up back to FREEZE]
Man Ray: I'm free! Hahaha!
SpongeBob: Uh, actually, Mr. uh... Man Ray, sir, only your head is free.
Man Ray: By the supreme authority of wickedness, I, the evil Man Ray, command you to release me from this frozen prison at once!
SpongeBob: Well, uhh, Mr. Evil Man Ray, sir, we can't do that.
Man Ray: Why... not?!
SpongeBob: Because you're evil!
Man Ray: You mean, if I was good, then you'd let me go?
SpongeBob: Yeah, sure, why not?
Man Ray: Then, uh, in that case... I am good.
SpongeBob: Really?
Man Ray: Yes, really.
SpongeBob: Really, really?
Man Ray: Yes, yes, really, really.
SpongeBob: Really, really, really?
Man Ray: Yes, yes, already! I'm good! I'm good! Now let me out of here or you'll suffer dire consequences!
SpongeBob: Well, that's good enough for me. [SpongeBob pulls the lever back to "UNFREEZE" Man Ray is unfrozen and falls to the ground]
Man Ray: You fools! Prepare to be eradicated! [tries to jump at SpongeBob and Patrick but stops in mid-air and falls to the ground then laughs] What's wrong with me? Hahaha! What is this...Hahaha...infernal contraption?!
SpongeBob: Don't play dumb, Man Ray! You know that's the tickle belt Mermaid Man used on you in episode #17!
Narrator: [showing a picture of the belt] As seen in episode #17!
Patrick: Oh, I love that episode.
SpongeBob: Oh, me too, me too!
Man Ray: I'll never get out of here wearing this belt! [chuckles] I... I need an evil plan that will trick them to take it off me. [chuckles again] Time for those acting lessons to pay off.
SpongeBob: Remember that part Mermaid Man and Barnacle...
Man Ray: Oh, boohoo! Oh, sob! Oh, cry! [opens and closes his eyes] Oh, woe is me! You don't know what it's like being evil for so long. Oh, how I wish to be... good. If only some kind heroes would show me the path to decency. [SpongeBob and Patrick gasp]
SpongeBob: We could teach you how to be good and then we'll let you go!
Man Ray: [turns around] Ahh, that would be fantastic! [chuckles] I'll fake my way through this just like I did in high school. [laughs]
SpongeBob: Okay, Man Ray. Are you ready for your first day at goodness school? [Man Ray puts an apple on his desk] Pat, get your wallet out. [Patrick gets his wallet out of his pocket] Okay, goodness lesson number one. You see someone drop their wallet... Patrick, drop the wallet. [Patrick tosses it on the ground] Now, what do you do?
Man Ray: [holds it out to Patrick] Excuse me, sir! But I do believe you've dropped your wallet.
Patrick: Doesn't look familiar to me.
Man Ray: What? I just saw you drop it. Here.
Patrick: Nope, it's not mine.
Man Ray: It is yours. I... am trying to be a good person and return it to you.
Patrick: Return what to who?
Man Ray: [facepalms, then shows Patrick his own ID] Aren't you Patrick Star?
Patrick: Yup.
Man Ray: And this is your ID.
Patrick: Yup.
Man Ray: I found this ID in this wallet. And if that's the case, this must be your wallet.
Patrick: That makes sense to me.
Man Ray: Then take it.
Patrick: It's not my wallet.
Man Ray: [in anger and frustration] You dim bulb! Take back your wallet or I'll rip your arms off! [SpongeBob pushes tickle button and Man Ray laughs]
SpongeBob: Ah-ah! Wrong. [pushes button] Good people don't rip other people's arms off! [Man Ray chuckles]
[Bubble transition]
SpongeBob: Okay, goodness lesson number two. [Patrick walks in with a package, straining] You see someone struggling with a heavy package. What do you do?
Man Ray: Hello, friend! I noticed you were struggling with that package. Would you like some help with-- [Patrick drops package on his foot] Ow!
Patrick: Oops, sorry. Can I start over?
Man Ray: I noticed you w-- [Patrick drops package again] Oww!
Patrick: Oops! Gotta start again.
Man Ray: Would-- [Patrick drops package again] Ahh!
Patrick: Oops!
Man Ray: [Growls in anger] You butter-fingered pink thing! What's in that box anyhow?
Patrick: My wallets.
Man Ray: [Screams in fury. He grabs Patrick's head]
Patrick: No! SpongeBob, tickle him! [Man Ray slams him into the ground back and forth. SpongeBob presses the tickle button]
Man Ray: [laughs] It tickles, but it's worth it! [continues slamming Patrick into the ground, while still laughing]
SpongeBob: Alright, goodness lesson number three. [Patrick is shown angry and severely injured] Uhh, let's see. [Patrick grabs the remote]
Patrick: I've got one. I'm thinking of a number between one and one hundred. What is it?
Man Ray: Um... sixty-two?
Patrick: Wrong! [pushes button]
Man Ray: Haha! Stop!
SpongeBob: Hey, Patrick, that's got nothing to do with being good.
Patrick: Let go of it, SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: Pat, we've got to use it only when he's bad!
Patrick: Let go!
SpongeBob: No, you let go!
Both: Let... go! [remote breaks and the belt goes hay-wire]
Man Ray: Frequency rising! Belt out of control! Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Belt on too hard! [he continues to laugh] It's tickling my DNA! Make it stop! [tears come out as he laughs] Haha! Please!
SpongeBob: Did you hear that, Patrick? He said the P word.
Patrick: Peanuts?
SpongeBob: No. Please.
Patrick: Well, that's good enough for me. I guess he's reconstituted.
SpongeBob: Rehabilitated.
Patrick: Gesundheit.
SpongeBob: It's graduation day, Man Ray. This is the key to your future. [unlocks the belt, then the tickling stops] Just look at him, Patrick. The picture of goodness. [Man Ray takes the Aqua-Glove off the wall of weapons] Umm, we're not supposed to touch that stuff. [Man Ray put the glove on his hand and activates it] We're not supposed to touch that, either. [Man Ray grabs the Cosmic-Ray and attaches it on the Aqua-Glove] We are really not suppose to touch those, sir. [He aims the weapon at SpongeBob and Patrick] Good people have no use for weapons such as... [Man Ray zaps them into dust] Thooose!
Man Ray: [laughs] The only thing I'm good at is being evil. [door opens and Man Ray runs] So long, suckers!
Patrick: What's that smell, SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: That, Patrick, is the smell of defeat.
Patrick: Good, I thought it was my skin.
SpongeBob: Forget about your skin, Patrick! Man Ray is still bad and someone has to stop him. This is a job for Mermaid Man...
Patrick: ...and Barnacle Boy! [both slide down the poles and get their costumes on]
SpongeBob: To the Invisible Boatmobile! [both stop in the invisible boat]
Patrick: Ignition, on!
SpongeBob: Wait! I don't have a license!
Patrick: Well, this is an invisible boat, right? So, you need an invisible license. [shapes hand into a rectangle]
SpongeBob: You're the best sidekick ever, Barnacle Boy. [they scream as the boat rams through the wall and into a street light]
Patrick: Thank goodness for invisible seat belts!
Man Ray: [walks past SpongeBob and Patrick] Out of my way, fools! You no longer have control of me. [stops at the edge of the cliff and points to Bikini Bottom] And now this town belongs to...Man Ray! [he does a victory pose]
SpongeBob: Not so fast, arch-villain! We still have the Orb of Confusion! [Patrick takes out the Orb of Confusion] Take this! [turns it on and gets all confused] Doy... Duh...
Man Ray: Well, that was easy. [heads to the bank where he kicks in the door] Hahaha! All right, people! Everybody stand right where you are!
[citizens: Vera Fishbowl, Harold "Bill" Reginald, Sylvester, Lloyd-Rich, and Nancy gasp]
Man Ray: I want you to, uh... [Man Ray chuckles, so everyone else chuckles, too] No! No! Stop giggling or I'll have to... [chuckles again, so everyone else is still chuckling] Stop laughing, you fools!
Nancy Suzy Fish: What can I do for you, sir?
Man Ray: I'll tell you what you can do! [points glove at the lady] Gimme all of your... [Man Ray chuckles again] G-gimme, gimme all of your... [Man Ray is still chuckling] Give me...! [he chuckles so much he realizes what's going on] Aah! The belt is gone, but I still feel its tickle! The urge to do bad is gone! [sighs] I guess I'll just open a checking account. [Man Ray returns to SpongeBob and Patrick and turns the Orb of Confusion off]
SpongeBob: Doy... [gasps] Man Ray!
Man Ray: No need to be alarmed, SpongeBob. Your teachings have transformed me. Besides, I have checks... with little poodles on them! [Man Ray takes his head off and gives it to SpongeBob] I won't be needing this anymore. Farewell, fellow do-gooder. [walks off]
SpongeBob: Bye, Man Ray! Wow, we did it! Just like the real Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy! We saved the day! Isn't it incredible, Patrick?! Patrick?
Patrick: Uhh... [still has a confused look on his face]
SpongeBob: Patrick, you know that thing's turned off, right? Patrick? Woo-hoo? Patrick?
===''Squirrel Jokes'' [2.11b]===
[Lights are circling outside the Krusty Krab. Inside, there is a sign hanging from the ceiling that reads 'Komedy Krab.']
Mr. Krabs: Okay, everybody settle down. Welcome [pauses] to the Komedy Krab! [puts an arrow on his eyes. Everyone laughs] Now please give a warm welcome to our first comic, the indiscernible Dougie Williams!
[Dougie walks onto the stage as Mr. Krabs walks out.]
Dougie Williams: Good evening, folks. I'm going to skip the jokes and get right to the part where I throw pies at ya![pulls out a cart of pies. The crowd takes out their umbrellas. SpongeBob opens the curtain from behind and gets splattered in the face with pie]
SpongeBob: [laughs] I hope I do as good as that guy.
Dougie Williams: [backstage] Man, those people will laugh at anything. Hey, don't sweat it kid, I got 'em all warmed up for ya.
Mr. Krabs: Put your fins together for SpongeBob SquarePants!
[SpongeBob walks out with a bow tie on.]
Sandy: Go get 'em, SpongeBob!
Patrick: [sitting at a table with Sandy] Whoo-hoo!
[SpongeBob gives them a thumbs-up.]
SpongeBob: Hey, hey, hey ladies and jellyfish, have you ever noticed salt shakers? I mean, you fill them up every night at closing, and I mean, where does it all go? Huh? You know what I mean?
[No one laughs. A cricket is heard chirping. Cut to a live-action clip of a cricket chirping.]
SpongeBob: And tomatoes -- what's the deal on those things? [chuckles weakly. Crowd is still silent] I mean, you chop them up into slices, but... [cut again to the cricket, this time as a still image.] What are they, vegetables or... fruit? And what does that make-ketchup? [chuckles weakly]
Fred: Oh, brother, this guy stinks!
Harold: [with an Australian accent] Hey, hey, funny guy! I've got a joke for you! What smells rotten and puts people to sleep?
SpongeBob: Um, noxious gas?
Harold: No! Your act!
[The entire audience laughs.]
SpongeBob: Did you ever notice how, uhh... [notices a fork on a table] ...forks, uhh...
Fred: Forks?! Come on!
[The crowd is booing at SpongeBob.]
SpongeBob: [thinking] Quick, SpongeBob, make a witty observation!
[SpongeBob looks around the crowd booing at him for material; even Patrick is booing.]
Patrick: Boo! Boo!
SpongeBob: [notices Sandy's teeth] Did you ever notice how...big squirrels' teeth are?
[The crowd chuckles.]
Incidental 92: That's true.
Sandy: Huh?
SpongeBob: I mean, hey, you could land a plane on those things!
[The crowd laughs more.]
SpongeBob: And what's up with that squirrel fur? I guess fleas need a home, too!
[The crowd laughs loud.]
Patrick: [laughing] Squirrel fur! [Sandy grins nervously]
SpongeBob: And they smell! But hey, you'd stink too if you spent three months [Southern accent] buried in dirt!
[Sandy laughs uneasily. The crowd laughs.]
SpongeBob: [laughs] [switches to regular voice] Hey, why does it take more than one squirrel to change a light bulb?
Fred: Why?
SpongeBob: Because, they're so darn stupid! [raises his right hand to punctuate the punchline of the joke]
[The crowd laughs.]
Patrick: [laughs loudly] Oh, that's a good one, eh, Sandy?
Sandy: [chuckles nervously] Uh, uh, yeah...
[The crowd cheers loudly and chants as SpongeBob walks behind the curtain where Mr. Krabs is waiting for him.]
Mr. Krabs: That was fantastic, boy! You really knocked 'em out! I think I'll do this joke night again with you as the headliner!
SpongeBob: I never thought I could be a headliner! Whatever that is.
Mr. Krabs: The headliner's the one who cleans up after the show. [hands SpongeBob a mop]
SpongeBob: Well, at least I don't have to clean up my act! [rimshot is played as he laughs]
Mr. Krabs: Stick with the squirrel jokes, boy. Now get busy! [walks off]
SpongeBob: Mops, mops, mops, what's up with those things? I mean, really. [walks up to Sandy] Oh, hey, Sandy!
Sandy: Howdy, SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: Did you like the show?
Sandy: Well, ac-actually, SpongeBob.....no. Those jokes are hurtful and you know it.
SpongeBob: [nudges Sandy with his elbow] Come on, Sandy, I was just joking. I mean, everybody knows that you're the smartest one in Bikini Bottom.
Sandy: Well, I can't argue with that.
SpongeBob: We all gotta laugh at ourselves once in a while. I do it all the time! [holds up a mirror and laughs excessively into it] [puts the mirror down] [holds the mirror back up, laughing hysterically into it, cutting Sandy off just as she tries to speak]
Sandy: [chuckles] You're right, SpongeBob. I was being a little too sensitive. [both hug] No hard feelings.
[The scene cuts to Sandy at Barg'N-Mart.]
Sandy: Okay, deodorant. Huh, let's see. Roll-on or stick?
[Fred and Suzy walk by. They gossip about Sandy behind her back.]
Fred: I think she should buy both. [laughs]
Sandy: Huh?
Scooter: Hey, look, guys! [seen with Morty and Incidental 28] [points at Sandy] It's the stupid squirrel!
Morty: I know, let's try and communicate with it.
Scooter, Morty and Incidental 28: Duh... [making funny faces, then walk off laughing]
Sandy: Hmph! [throws the deodorant into the cart, then walks up and stop in front of a little kid] Hello, little critter! What's your name?
Incidental 115: [grabs her child] Don't stand too close to a squirrel, Billy! You'll catch it's stupid! [walks off]
Billy: Okay, mom.
Sandy: Stupidity isn't a virus. But it sure is spreadin' like one!
[The scene cuts to the Komedy Krab where everyone is chanting for SpongeBob. SpongeBob is sitting at a desk preparing for his act.]
SpongeBob: La-la-la-la-la-la! Squirrely, squirrely, squirrely, squirrrrrel! Because they're stupid! Because they're stupid! [points in front of him]
Sandy: Hey, uhh, SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: Oh, hi, Sandy.
Sandy: Um, I need to talk to you about them squirrel jokes.
SpongeBob: We already talked about that, remember? [looks in a mirror and laughs excessively]
Sandy: SpongeBob, this is serious. Since you've been telling them jokes, people have been treatin' me different.
[Patrick walks backstage.]
Patrick: SpongeBob, five minutes. [notices Sandy, then talks slowly] Hel-lo... Sandy. Me Patrick. Do you un-der-staaaand? [Sandy looks away] Squirrels. [walks off]
Sandy: Y-y-you see? That's what I'm talkin' about!
SpongeBob: Ah, that's just Patrick. He's just fooling around.
Sandy: I'm just askin' you as a friend, please lay off them squirrel jokes, okay? Tell some of them other jokes you got.
SpongeBob: [nervously] Other jokes? [imagines the fork joke] Bah! I got a million of them.
Sandy: [hugs SpongeBob] Thanks, SpongeBob, I knew you'd understand. [leaves backstage to her seat]
[The crowd is still chanting for SpongeBob.]
Mr. Krabs: Put your fins together for SpongeBob SquarePants!
[Everyone in the audience cheers as SpongeBob walks out.]
SpongeBob: Uhh, hi. [mic feedback] [chuckles nervously] Uhh, did you hear about the goldfish who went bankrupt? Now he's a bronze fish. [rimshot plays]
[The crowd is confused.] "What?" "What did he say?"
SpongeBob: I guess you heard that one.
Sandy: I haven't heard it! [chuckles] Good one, SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: Thank you, you're too kind. Hey, what about this water? I mean, this stuff's everywhere.
Patrick: Tell the one about the squirrel and the light bulbs!
SpongeBob: Er..e..Uhh... [takes out a big rubber chicken] Hey, what about this thing? Huh? Huh, huh?
Incidental 10: Get on with the squirrel jokes!
[The crowd chants "squirrel jokes" fifteen times.]
SpongeBob: [in his head] What do I do? What do I do? SpongeBob, you've got a choice to make. [looks at Sandy] Your friends... [looks at his microphone] ...or your career?
[After a second, he drops the microphone and everyone gasps. He walks backstage, then he jumps back on stage with hillbilly teeth.]
SpongeBob: [loudly] Howdy, y'all!
[The crowd cheers loudly.]
SpongeBob: [Southern accent] How come it takes more than one squirrel to screw in a light bulb?
All of the audience except Sandy: [yells in sync with SpongeBob] Because they're so darn stupid!
SpongeBob: [laughs as he walks around tooting a bicycle horn] My people! [Sandy gets angry] But seriously folks, I wanna give a special thanks to my friend, Sandy. [spotlight on Sandy as the two women around her giggle] Sandy, don't you see? The crowd loves these jokes. [to the audience] Am I right?! [the crowd cheers; to Sandy] Don't you see, Sandy? We're laughing with you, not at you! Do you understand now, Sandy? Huh, do ya?
Sandy: [deadpan] I understand exactly what's goin' on, SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: Great. I knew sooner or later you'd understand. What a great sport. [to the audience] Let's give a big hand to Sandy! But clap slow, because remember... She's a squirrel! [the crowd is cheering their loudest] Thank you! You've been a wonderful audience, and uhh, good night! [walks backstage] Ah... another spectacular performance, SpongeBob. [sees a note taped to his mirror] Oh, what's this, a fan letter?[takes the note off his mirror and reads it]
Sandy: [voiceover] You were right, SpongeBob! Those jokes are funny! Come on over to the treedome tomorrow and celebrate. Sandy.
SpongeBob: You did it, SpongeBob. You get to keep your career [points at his reflection] and your friends.
[The scene cuts to SpongeBob walking up to the Treedome with his water helmet on and flowers in his hands. He knocks on the door then sniffs the flowers as the water empties from the Treedome's front foyer.]
SpongeBob: I'm glad that Sandy can finally see the genius of my comedy.
[The door opens; SpongeBob presents the flowers with eyes closed.]
SpongeBob: Good morning, Sandy.
[SpongeBob opens his eyes and stares on in shock; Sandy is dressed as a hillbilly with flies floating around her.]
Sandy: Well, hoooow-deeeeeee!
SpongeBob: Sandy, are you feeling alright?
Sandy: I'm just bein' my own au-natu-rally squirrelly self! [licks her teeth with her tongue. SpongeBob laughs nervously] Well, come on in! Y'all must be tired from tellin' them funny jokes all the time. Why don't you take a load off? [pushes him onto a log with extra sticky glue on it]
SpongeBob: [notices the seat and tries to get off]Uhh, Sandy, I think something's wrong with this seat. [points at the log]
Sandy: Naw, [holds up a brush and a bucket of glue] I just done put glue on it so you wouldn't fall off. [gasps and grabs the flowers that SpongeBob was holding] Are them flowers for me?! You even done got me a vase! [takes SpongeBob's water helmet off his head]
SpongeBob: But, Sandy, that-that's not a... [Sandy places the flowers in the water helmet]
Sandy: Ain't that purdy?
SpongeBob: [shown already dried out] Sandy, I need wa...[points to his mouth]
Sandy: Oh, that's right! You's a sea critter! Now what was that thing sea critters need? Umm, uh... let's see, Sea critters need, uhh... [a big lump in her throat wiggles up and down]
SpongeBob: Wa...
Sandy: [covers SpongeBob's mouth] Oh, wait, don't tell me. I know this one!
SpongeBob: Wa...
Sandy: A wallet? A watch? Waffles?
SpongeBob: [hoarsely] Sandy! Water!
Sandy: Well, why didn't you just say so? [puts the end of a hose in SpongeBob's mouth] Here you go! Yup, us squirrels sure is stupid. [connects the other end of the hose to a pipe then turns it on. SpongeBob enlarges as more water enters into him]
SpongeBob: [muffled] Sandy!
Sandy: Dumb, dumb, dumb, squirrels is dumb.
SpongeBob: Sandy! Okay, Sandy, I get it!
Sandy: What's that? You want more? [connects to the end of the hose to a bigger pipe and turns it on sucking water out from the ocean] Okey-dokey! More water for the sea-critter!
[SpongeBob is still enlarging.]
SpongeBob: Okay, Sandy, okay! I get it! [he has filled up every inch of the Treedome] No more squirrel jokes.
[The scene cuts to the Komedy Krab where the crowd is chanting for SpongeBob again. SpongeBob, who has bandages on his face covering his wounds, goes on stage.]
SpongeBob: Thank you, thank you very much. Well, on my way over here, I ran into a squirrel. [Winks at Sandy. Cut to Patrick showing his excited smile, Sandy blinks with a smirk.] And I said, 'Hey, why don't you go get a couple of your squirrel friends and we'll go change a light bulb?'
[The crowd cheers.]
SpongeBob: But seriously folks, the only thing dumber than a squirrel is a sponge! [points at himself]
[The crowd is silent.]
SpongeBob: I mean, we're so dumb, we don't even have a vertebrae! [twists himself] Look at me! [bends left and right] I got no bones!
Incidental 92: That's true.
[The crowd laughs.]
SpongeBob: Crabs? Oh, brother. They're so cheap, [rubs his two fingers together] they can't even pay attention! [points to his head]
Mr. Krabs: [laughs] It's true, I am cheap!
SpongeBob: Now, let me tell you about those fish. Boy, are they smelly. [holds his nose shuts with his fingers] Whoo-hoo! How could a creature who spends so much time in the water smell so bad? I mean, really! [imitates a fish] Soap... soap... what is... soap?
[The crowd laughs more. SpongeBob and Sandy give each other a thumbs-up as the scene cuts to an outside view of the Krusty Krab.]
SpongeBob: And don't even get me started on starfish!
[The episode ends.]

:'''Sandy''': I'm a squirrel. See? ''[points to the acorn logo on her suit]''
:'''SpongeBob''': I thought that meant you were nuts.
:'''Sandy''': Nope. It means I'm a natural born climber! I'm from the surface world, and nothing prepares you for climbing like growing up on good old dry land.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Neptune preserve her!
:'''Squidward''': How long can she stay like that?
:'''SpongeBob''': I don't know.
:'''Patrick''': Sandy's a girl?
:'''SpongeBob''': Wow, Sandy. You sure provided us wrong. I guess land creatures are better. ''[bubbles rise from Sandy's lips]'' At least until they need to breathe... ''[he, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs chuckle while Sandy angrily squints one eye at them]'' Yep, won't be long now.
:'''Sandy''': ''[starts struggling to hold her breath]'' Mm?
:'''SpongeBob''': Feeling lightheaded yet?
:'''Sandy''': ''[shakes her head]'' Uh-uh.
:'''SpongeBob''': Remember this? ''[takes a deep breath in and out. Sandy is seen sweating profusely]''
:'''Mr. Krabs''': It's free! ''[also takes a deep breath in and out]''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Sandy''': Oh, you mean for your chicken costumes?
:'''Patrick''': ''[holding and eating popcorn]'' Hey, we are not chicken! ''[drops his popcorn]'' Huh! My popcorn! ''[begins pecking at it like a chicken]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Yeah, we're not chicken, we'll do it. ''[looks at the water's surface and pokes his finger above the water]'' There! Mission accomplished!
:'''Sandy''': Look, unless you can stay above water for one measly minute, you forfeit the contest and prove that land creatures are better than sea creatures!
:'''SpongeBob''': No way, San-day. We can take on your challenge.
:'''All''': Yeah!
:'''SpongeBob''': We're sea creatures!
:'''All''': Yeah!
:'''SpongeBob''': Okay. Well, this is it.
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Wait, boy! ''[gives him a glass of water]'' Make it last.
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[drinks from it]'' Thanks, Mr. Krabs. Okay. Here I go! ''[the scene changes to live action as he gasps out of the water. He is now a real yellow kitchen sponge on a stick]'' Hey, this isn't so bad! We can do this! Hey, Patrick, come on up! The air is fine!
:'''Patrick''': I'm gonna do it quick and get it over with. Cannonball! ''[jumps out of the water. He is now a real pink starfish, missing his trunks, on a stick]'' Hey, I lost my trunks! Hi, SpongeBob!
:'''SpongeBob''': All right, Pat! You made it! Come on up, Mr. Krabs! Up here!
:'''Mr. Krabs''': All ashore that's going ashore, Mr. Squidward! Land ho! ''[runs up. He is a red rubber toy crab on a stick]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Looking good, Mr. Krabs!
:'''Patrick''': Yeah! Yeah, whoo-hoo!
:'''SpongeBob''': Come on, Squidward! You're missing all the dry. Come on, Squidward!
:'''All''': ''[chanting]'' Squidward! Squidward! Squidward! Squidward!
:'''Squidward''': Well, l'll do it, but I won’t like it. ''[walks up. He is a puppet octopus with his eyes and big nose. All stop chanting]'' What?
:'''SpongeBob''': Well, here we are! ''[all four are walking on the island]''
:'''Squidward''': This is pretty easy!
:'''Patrick''': I may keep a second rock up here!
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Once you get your land legs, it's not so bad!
:'''SpongeBob''': We're the masters of land and sea! ''[a string puppet seagull lands in front of him]'' Hey, it's a local. Hi! We're from underwater! Do you know Sandy Cheeks? ''[the seagull looks at screen]''
:'''Sandy''': Three, two, one. Well, tan my fur! They made it! Better go congratulate them! ''[walks onto the island. She is now a real plush squirrel toy with a small, round plastic helmet on her head]'' SpongeBob? Patrick? Hmm, where do those critters get to? ''[sees the seagulls attacking all four of them; one of them is trying to eat Patrick, while the other is chasing SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward]'' ''[gasps]'' Holy guacamole! You can't eat my friends, you rats with wings! Hiyah! ''[attacks the birds offscreen and feathers start flying. All five sink back down to the seabed, with Squidward upside-down]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Uh, thanks for saving us, Sandy.
:'''Sandy''': You know, everyone's best at things.
:'''SpongeBob''': But no one's best at everything. Sorry I made you take off your helmet, Sandy.
:'''Sandy''': Sorry I made you go up on dry land, SpongeBob.
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Three cheers for feeling sorry for us! Hip hip...
:'''All''': Hooray!

:''[In the stadium, Clamu is still smashing things and making snarling belch noises. The zoo worker goes up to SpongeBob and Patrick]''
:'''Zoo Worker 1''': You boys better get out of this area, pronto! There's nothing more dangerous than an emotionalm ppppply disturbed oyster. ''[points at SpongeBob]'' You didn't do anything that might have caused this horrible tragedy, did you?
:'''SpongeBob''': Uh...
:'''Patrick''': No way! Only a jerk would upset a gentle giant. Right, SpongeBob?
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[hides the peanut bag]'' Right. ''[lets out a nervous shriek]''
:''[Clamu chomps on a piece of metal. Cut to Patrick and SpongeBob leaving the zoo]''
:'''Patrick''': If I saw that guy, I'd have a few choice words for him. Like "you" and "are", and..."a jerk"!
<hr width=50%>
:'''SpongeBob''': Aw, what am I getting so worked up about? I'm sure that by tomorrow, this whole ugly mess will be a funny memory. ''[giggles]''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Patrick''': This is it! All of the clues are coming together. I followed these footprints right to this exact spot, and then, right where you're standing, I found this bag of peanuts! Ha! Oh, I'm so close to solving this crime, I can almost taste it. ''[zoom in on Patrick seemingly licking SpongeBob's head. Zoom out to reveal that he is actually licking a yellow ice cream pop]'' Boy, crime fighting sure makes me hungry, and this yellow Popsicle hits the spot.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Zoo Worker 1''': Mr. Krabs has stolen a very important item from the oyster. [rips off Mr. Krabs' clothes by accident] Behold! ''[the crowd gets disgusted]'' Wait a minute... ''[reveals Clamu's pearl]'' Behold! The oyster's pearl! ''[the crowd gasps in shock; the zoo worker then gives the pearl to Clamu]'' Here you go, girl.
:''[Clamu sniffs her pearl and the crowd cheers. But suddenly, the pearl starts to crack. And to everyone's amazement, it hatches into a baby oyster]''
:'''Baby Oyster''': Mama. Mama.
:'''SpongeBob''': Mother of pearl! The oyster's a mother! And that pearl's no pearl, it's an egg!
:'''Baby Oyster''': Mama.

:'''Patrick''': So, he's a drawing?
:'''SpongeBob''': Exactly! See how happy he is?
:'''Patrick''': He still looks kind of creepy.

===''The Secret Box'' [2.15a]===
SpongeBob: [as he runs to Patrick's rock] Patrick! Patrick! Oh, Patrick! Are you ready to go jellyfishing? [Patrick comes out of his rock with a box, doing an acrobatic trick]
Patrick: Oh, boy, am I!
SpongeBob: Here's your net. [Patrick glances at his box] Well, come on, Patrick! The jellyfish don't catch themselves.
Patrick: First, I have to put away my secret box.
SpongeBob: Secret box? You never told me about your... secret box! [tries to peek in the box, but Patrick pulls it away]
Patrick: Hey, hands off, PeepingBob! This here is my secret box! Besides, if I showed you what was inside, it wouldn't be a secret anymore. Duh! [opens the box, laughs at it, and shuts it as SpongeBob tries to peek it] Oh, SpongeBob... if only you could see what's inside my secret box, it would change your life! [SpongeBob gets behind Patrick to see what's inside the box, but Patrick holds it to himself]
SpongeBob: It's okay, Patrick, I know all about secrets.
Patrick: You do?
SpongeBob: I've got a gazillion secrets!
Patrick: Like what?
SpongeBob: Well, it's no secret that the best thing about a secret is secretly telling someone your secret, thereby secretly adding another secret to their secret collection of secrets. Secretly. [Patrick drools as the top of his head has lightning bolts coming out of it, showing that he couldn't understand the whole sentence]
SpongeBob: You wanna hear one of my secrets?
Patrick: Do I?
SpongeBob: Uhh... Let's see... [runs up to Patrick] Did you know that you're my best friend? [runs away]
Patrick: No... way. Oh, let's hear another one!
SpongeBob: Okay. Uhh... Secretly... I'm a little bit naïve.
Patrick: Wow! I'll never look at you the same way again, SpongeBob. Gosh. [SpongeBob clears his throat and taps on Patrick's box] Tell me some more secrets!
SpongeBob: Okay. I love my job at the Krusty Krab, I sleep with my shoes on, I like jelly on both sides of my toast, I've got an overdue library book, I think jellyfishing and bubble-blowing are the sea bee's knees... [transition to SpongeBob still telling secrets as Patrick lays his head on the box] ...I have a slight overbite. I've never been late for work, I've said the word "fancy" in conversation, I like to dance to loading zone announcements, I still don't have my driver's license. I'm a little bit on the short side. And I'm wearing three pairs of underwear, right now. [he shows his three pairs of underwear to Patrick]
Patrick: Gasp. I never would have guessed.
SpongeBob: Now will you show me what's inside your secret box?
Patrick: No, SpongeBob! It's for me to know and for you to never find out. You may be an open book, SpongeBob, but I'm a bit more complicated than that. The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma. [imagines a carton of milk spilling itself]
SpongeBob: Oh, yeah?! Well, I got plenty of secret stuff, too! Uh... [close-up of SpongeBob's socks] I've got my secret socks on. [runs away and comes back with Gary's bowl] And my secret Gary's bowl! [runs away then comes back, pushing his television] My secret TV! [turns on the TV] And my secret TV channel. [the TV shows an off-air color bars screen] What do you think of that, Patrick? Patrick?
Patrick: [giggles, then laughs loudly after a gander at the box and then stops to breathe. Then he looks again and laughs even harder and hysterically. Then he stops to breathe] Maybe if you saw what was inside, you'd know why it has to be secret. [shows the box to SpongeBob] Inside this very box is the most secret-y secret of all of secret-dom and I am its sole witness! It's a heavy burden, SpongeBob, but nobody must know the mystery of the box. [SpongeBob tries to peek inside the box, but Patrick slams it shut] Nobody! Not even... Squidward's house. [scene zooms out to show Squidward's Tiki Head home looking down at SpongeBob and Patrick, who notice this before it goes back to normal] It's a full-time job. I'm constantly on the alert. You never know when someone's gonna... [gasps when he finds out his box is gone. The scene cuts to a laughing SpongeBob running with Patrick's secret box, but then he bumps into Patrick's belly] SpongeBob, what do you think you're doing?! That's my secret box! Now, hand it over!
SpongeBob: [struggles with Patrick on the box] But, Patrick, I must know the secret!
Patrick: [struggles with SpongeBob on the box] For the last time, SpongeBob, no!
SpongeBob: Come on, just a peek?
Patrick: Never! [SpongeBob and Patrick strain as they fight over the box. Eventually, SpongeBob's arms pop off and he gasps] So, it's come to this. And to think that we joined the Best Friends Forever Club! [shows his finger with the ring on it and then the camera zooms in on the ring. He grabs one of SpongeBob's arms and points it at SpongeBob] Listen up, SpongeBob SecretStealerPants! [as he pokes SpongeBob's nose with his arm] If you ever come near my secret box again, we won't be friends anymore!
SpongeBob: But... we're supposed to be... [his eyes get big and sad] friends forever. [flashback to SpongeBob and Patrick as babies in a crib laughing, then we see them as kids riding on a bike, then as they are now, riding a bike, then as older men in rocking chairs, then we see a shot of two gravestones with their names and we hear SpongeBob and Patrick still laughing, but they are buried. The flashback ends.] I feel so filthy! [starts to cry] I have soiled our friendship garden! I just couldn't help myself! [jumps on Patrick] I know it's your secret! I promise to respect that! Oh, please forgive me, Patrick! Please!
Patrick: Well... I guess it's not all your fault. After all, this is a pretty great secret. I mean, how could you resist the greatest secret ever? [we see a close-up of Patrick's box] The most amazing... [as he sticks the box in SpongeBob's eyes, the eyes pop out of him and then back in] mysterious... powerful secret in all Bikini Bottom. [his eyes are glued to the box for a moment, and then goes back to him]
SpongeBob: So, what do you say, buddy? Friends?
Patrick: Friends. [they shake hands. Cuts to a night view of SpongeBob's house, then inside as SpongeBob talks]
SpongeBob: What could be in that box that Patrick doesn't want me to see? Maybe it's the world's only albino jellyfish... [slides down in his bed] or maybe Patrick's a master jewel thief and it's full of diamonds. [sits up] Or maybe Patrick's a deranged maniac who keeps his victims' severed heads in a box! [hides himself in the blanket and shivers] Or even worse... Maybe it's an embarrassing snapshot of me from the Christmas party! [screams, then hurls himself towards the bedroom window] I'm gonna find out what's in that secret box! I'm not gonna rest till I do! [SpongeBob's face pops off and sticks onto his back] That's it! How do you look into a secret box? [jumps off the window] Secretly, of course; I'll just take the box while Patrick's sleeping, look inside, and before Patrick even has time to notice, I'll slide it back. [turns around to show only his nose, then turns back around] Patrick won't know, and I'll have my own little secret! Good idea, eh, Gary? [Gary narrows his eyes]
Gary: Meeh-No. [cut to the outside]
SpongeBob: Oh, what do you know? You're a snail!
[SpongeBob sneaks over to Patrick's house, and stealthily presses his back against it. He puts on gloves, then slips a stocking over his head, momentarily changing it to a woman's leg, before changing back to normal. He slides upwards over the rock, splitting in two passing through the weather vane on top, then slip through the rock. He then lands and notices Patrick. He then screams gibberish, drools and SpongeBob hides behind the portrait of SpongeBob and Patrick. SpongeBob then peeks and then the wall starts to crack. Patrick mumbles, the wall breaks even more and then the nail falls off. He then grabs the nail with his foot and puts it back.]
Patrick: [as the camera zooms in on the box] Seee... cret.
SpongeBob: [thinking] I got to be more quiet. I don't want to wake Patrick up. [slides down the wall from the portrait and makes a loud noise upon touching the floor. Patrick stretches and then goes back to sleep. SpongeBob then lifts his leg and then Patrick makes another noise. He then tosses himself over on the bed. SpongeBob puts his leg down, which makes a loud booming noise]
Patrick: Duh... who's there? [mumbles then goes back to sleep.]
SpongeBob: [talking to his foot] Shhh! [steps on a potato chip and makes a broken glass sound]
Patrick: Eh?! [gibberish] Who's that?! [Patrick is back asleep. SpongeBob sweeps his sweat drops off him and they land, causing a loud splash sound.] Mmm... water. [licks his mouth dry, then tosses himself on the bed. SpongeBob takes another step and makes an "Aooowga!" noise. He then steps again, making a loud machine gun noise. Steps again, making the sound of an elephant. He then stretches his leg near the side of the bed, which sounds like a speeding car, then takes the step, making the noise of a car crash. He then peeks above Patrick to see the box. He gets ready to reach for the box, but Patrick takes the box before SpongeBob could grab it. He then slides onto Patrick, grabbing the box] Good old secret box. Let's see what's inside. [opens SpongeBob's mouth and pulls out his tongue, then laughs and lets go of his tongue] Nighty-night, boxie. [puts SpongeBob on the side of the bed. SpongeBob gets off the bed and then trips on a shoestring, causing him to bounce around Patrick's house, making a lot of loud noises (like a horse whinnying, a cow mooing, a chicken clucking, and a seal barking) until his head hits the wall, causing the portrait to fall off the wall, hitting him in the head, breaking the portrait in half. The box then lands on SpongeBob's lap and makes a loud noise. The scene cuts back to Patrick, who, despite all the noise, continues to sleep.]
SpongeBob: Gee, Patrick sure is a heavy sleeper. [Patrick wakes up]
Patrick: Huh? Who said that?! Who's there?!
SpongeBob: Uh...
Patrick: It's the Clam Burglar! And he's stealing my secret box! [runs up to SpongeBob] Hand over the goods, Secret Box Bandit, and prepare for the most unpleasant pillow fight of your life! [readies his pillow like a shotgun, ready to attack him]
SpongeBob: Wait, wait, wait, Patrick! Stop! [takes off his mask] It's me, SpongeBob!
Patrick: [stares at him while clueless] Nice try, burglar, but SpongeBob's my best friend, and he'd never steal from me.
SpongeBob: No, really, Patrick! Look! [Patrick gasps. SpongeBob presses a button on the ring]
SpongeBob and Patrick BFF Ring: It's the Best Friends Forever, Best Friends Forever Ring!
Patrick: Our friendship ring! It is you! [crying as he covers his face with his pillow] How could you do this?!
SpongeBob: If it makes you feel any better, I haven't looked inside. [throws the pillow away and snatches the box out of SpongeBob's hands]
Patrick: [with a tear coming out of his eye] That's it, SpongeBob! You have crossed the line. As of right now, this friendship is over!
SpongeBob: [gasps and tears up himself] Really?
Patrick: Nah, you can look inside it if you really want to.
SpongeBob: Okay! Oh, this is one of the most exciting moments of my life! Well, here it goes! [he lifts the lid off the box] Huh?
Patrick: Well, didn't I tell ya? [we see a string inside the box] Isn't it great?
SpongeBob: It's just a string.
Patrick: A secret string!
SpongeBob: Boy, when you're right, you're right! That's some secret box you've got there! Yeah! Thanks for showing me that. [puts the lid back on the box] Well, good night, Patrick. See you tomorrow.
Patrick: Good night, SpongeBob! [SpongeBob pops out of Patrick's house]
SpongeBob: I should've known! It was just a piece of string all along! [laughs] Wait till I tell Gary!
Patrick: [laughs menacingly] Good thing he didn't pull the secret string, opening the... [a secret compartment opens] ...secret compartment of my secret box... [takes out a photo] ...revealing one embarrassing snapshot of SpongeBob at that Christmas Party! [laughing while cut to the Bikini Atoll] Merry Christmas, SpongeBob! [laughs again as the screen fades to black, ending the episode]
===''Band Geeks'' [2.15b]===
:''[The episode begins at Squidward's house. Music is heard, which turns out to be Squidward playing his clarinet, until the doorbell rings. The snail doctor is at the door with Incidental 26.]''
:'''Snail doctor''': Yeah, uh, we're with the pet hospital down the street, and I understand you have a dying animal on the premises.
:''[Squidward slams the door shut. The phone rings, and Squidward picks up.]''
:'''Squidward''': Hello, you've reached the house of unrecognized talent. Please start after the... ''[plays a note on his clarinet]''
:'''Squilliam Fancyson''': Sounds as though you've got a dying animal to attend to, eh, old chum?
:'''Squidward''': ''[gasps]'' Squilliam Fancyson from band class?!
Squilliam: I hear you're playing the cash register now.
Squidward: [stutters] Sometimes. Uh... How's the unibrow?
Squilliam: [waves his unibrow] It's big and valuable. I'm the leader of a big, fancy band now, and we're supposed to play at the Bubble Bowl next week.
Squidward: The buh-buh-buh... The buh-buh-buh... The buh-buh-buh...?!
Squilliam: That's right. I'm living your dreams, Squidward. The problem is, I'm busy next week and can't make it. So, I was hoping you and your band could cover for us.
Squidward: Oh, uh, [stutters] I, uhh...
Squilliam: [scoffs] I knew it! You don't even have a band. Well, I'll just let you get back to the service industry now.
Squidward: Hold it! It just so happens that I don't sell fast food, I do have a band, and we're gonna play that Bubble Bowl! How do you like that, fancy boy?
Squilliam: Good luck next Tuesday. I hope the audience brings lots of... ibuprofen.
[Squilliam and Squidward hang up the phones.]
Squidward: I've got to drum up a marching band fast! Drum... [chuckles] band humor...
[Bubble transition to Sandy. In the following lines, Sandy, Plankton, Mrs. Puff, Mr. Krabs, and Larry are reading from a poster. Each are in different locations; from a pole, to a bakery window, to Larry's shower.]
Sandy: "Looking to add fulfillment to your dull, dull life?"
Plankton: "Then become part of the greatest musical sensation ever to hit Bikini Bottom..."
Mrs. Puff: "...and be forever adored by thousands of people you don't know."
Mr. Krabs: "Not to mention... free refreshments!"
Larry: "Practice begins tonight, 8:30 sharp."
[Transition to Squidward looking at his watch, which reads 8:35, while driving a shell cart. There are boxes of musical instruments, sheet music, and marching uniforms crammed in the back seat.]
Squidward: Stupid music rental clerk made me late! That trilobite didn't know an oboe from an elbow. Heh, elbow, heh... more band humor.
[The scene cuts to inside the room, where everyone is there holding instruments and literally saying "blah, blah, blah" amongst themselves as Squidward enters. He walks to the front of the room.]
All: Blah, blah, blah...
Squidward: People, people, settle down! [The room quiets down.] Okay, now. How many of you have played musical instruments before?
Plankton: [holding a triangle; raises hand] Do instruments of torture count?
Squidward: No.
Patrick: [holding a trombone; raises hand] Is mayonnaise an instrument?
Squidward: No, Patrick, mayonnaise is not an instrument. [Patrick raises his hand again] Horseradish is not an instrument, either. [Patrick lowers his hand] That's fine, no one has any experience. Fortunately, I have enough talent for all of you!
[Squidward slaps his knee and laughs. Everyone stays silent.]
Mr. Krabs: When do we get the free food?
Squidward: Okay, try to repeat after me. [plays a six-note scale on his clarinet] Brass section, go. [brass section repeats badly] Good! Now the wind. [wind section repeats badly] And the drums! [The drumers blow on their sticks, which shoot out of their mouths and pin Squidward to the wall.] Too bad that didn't kill me.
[Bubble transition to later.]
Squidward: Let's just try stepping in rhythm. Now, I want everyone to stand in straight rows of five.
SpongeBob: [raises hand] Is this the part where we start kicking?
Squidward: No, SpongeBob, that's a chorus line.
Patrick: Kicking? I wanna do some kicking! [kicks Sandy in the leg]
Sandy: Why, you... Why, I oughta--! [Sandy jumps on Patrick and starts beating him up until they both roll outside. The doors slam shut.]
[Outside, Patrick wails in agony. Everyone stares in silence, then Patrick sticks his head back in.]
Patrick: Whoever's the owner of the white sedan, you left your lights on.
[Patrick walks in and it is revealed that Sandy has stuck his body into a trombone, with his head sticking out of the bell. As Patrick walks back to his seat, the trombone toots with each step. As he sits, he lets out a long note.]
French Narrator: Day two.
[The scene shows the band marching down a street while playing badly.]
Squidward: Okay, that's perfect, everybody! Bubble Bowl, here we come! Flag twirlers, really spin those things! Okay, turn! Flag twirlers, let's go, I wanna see some spinning! Flag twirlers, let's move! Come on! Move!
[The flag twirlers spin so hard that they take off into the sky and crash into a blimp, which causes an explosion. Incidental 41 plays Taps on his trumpet while everyone mourns, except Squidward, who lies down on the ground and curls into a fetal position.]
French Narrator: Day three.
Squidward: How's that harmonica solo coming, Plankton?
Plankton: It's tremendous! You wanna see?
[Plankton plays the harmonica by running to and from the individual holes. Soon runs out of breath; on his way to the last note, he pants as he trudges toward it. He blows an unsuccessful last raspberry into the harmonica and collapses.]
French Narrator: Day four.
Squidward: Well, this is our last night together before the show! And I know that you haven't improved since we began... [Patrick chews on a trumpet.] But, I have a theory. People talk loud when they wanna act smart, right?
Plankton: [loudly] Correct!
Squidward: So, if we play loud, people might think we're good! Everybody ready? [The room grins as they raise their instruments.] And a-one, and a-two, and-a one, two, three, four!
[The screen cuts to the outside of the music room as a blast of noise ensues, shattering the windows. Cut back inside, where Squidward's face is deformed beyond recognition and his shirt has been ripped. The top half of his baton snaps off.]
Squidward: Okay, new theory. Maybe we should play so quietly, no one can hear us.
Harold: Well, maybe we wouldn't sound so bad if some people didn't try to play with big, meaty claws!
Mr. Krabs: What did you say, punk?
Harold: [loudly] Big... meaty... claws!
Mr. Krabs: [raising fists] Well, these claws ain't for just attractin' mates!
Harold: Bring it on, old man! Bring it on!
SpongeBob: [stands between them] No, people. Let's be smart and bring it "off".
Suzy: Oh, so now the talking cheese is gonna preach to us?
Squidward: Wait, wait! I know tensions are high...
[Every band member gets into a brawl. Incidental 106 and Larry are yelling at each other, Incidental 13 breaks a drum over Incidental 106's body.]
Squidward: There's a deposit on that equipment, people!
[Every band member uses their instruments as weapons. Mr. Krabs and Harold charge at each other using their instruments as lances; Mrs. Puff slams them both with her cymbals.]
Squidward: Settle down, please!
[Sandy and Incidental 42 are fighting; Sandy breaks the bars off of Incidental 42's xylophone, who runs away. Patrick kicks Sandy again, who growls at him before producing a trumpet with an evil grin. Patrick runs away screaming as Sandy chases him. The scene cuts to the clock, which changes to 10 o'clock, and everyone immediately stops fighting.]
Fred: Hey, class is over.
All: [within the crowd, now friendly] Okay, yeah, see ya tomorrow... That was good... Say, what are you doing after...?
[The band members walk to the door; Squidward slams it open and stands before them.]
Squidward: Well, you did it. You took my one chance at happiness... and crushed it. Crushed it into little, tiny, bite-size pieces! I really had expected better of you people. I guess I'm a loser for that, too. Don't bother showing up tomorrow... I'll just tell them you all died in a marching accident. So, thanks! [cries] Thanks for nothing! [leaves]
Patrick: You're welcome.
SpongeBob: What kind of monsters are we? That poor creature came to us in his hour of need, and we failed him. Squidward's always been there for us when it was convenient for him. Evelyn, when your little Jimmy was trapped in a fire, who rescued him?
Evelyn: A fireman.
SpongeBob: And Larry, when your heart gave out from all those tanning pills, who revived you?
Larry: Some guy in an ambulance.
SpongeBob: Right! So if we all could just pretend that Squidward was a fireman, or some guy in an ambulance, then I'm sure we could all pull together and discover what it truly means... to be in a marching band.
Harold: Yeah, for the fireman!
[Everyone cheers.]
SpongeBob: Now let's make Squidward proud. [raises baton] A-one, a-two, a skiddly-diddly-doo!
[Bubble transition to the Bubble Bowl entrance.]
Squidward: I knew this was going to happen. They're just gonna have to find another band to play. I just hope that... [zooms out to reveal Squilliam is there] ...Squilliam doesn't find out! Squilliam! [screams] What are you doing here?!
Squilliam: [laughs] I just wanted to watch you blow it. So, where's your band?
Squidward: Uh... they couldn't come. They... died.
Squilliam: Then who's that? [points to SpongeBob and the rest of the band]
Squidward: [screams; his eyes pop out] That would be my band!
SpongeBob: We're ready to perform, Squidward!
Squilliam: Well, Squiddy, this is exactly how I pictured your band would look.
[Cut to SpongeBob dancing cheerfully.]
Squidward: That's his... eager face.
[Squilliam laughs as Squidward and his band move past him and enter the Bubble Bowl. Squilliam soon enters behind them.]
Squidward: I guess this will be the last time I can show my face in this town...
SpongeBob: That's the spirit, Squidward!
[The camera cuts to an American football stadium.]
Announcer: Okay, football fans, put your hands together for the Bikini Bottom Super Band!
[The band rises out of the ground. A crowd of live-action people waving towels and cheering is shown.]
Patrick: These are some ugly looking fish.
SpongeBob: Maybe we're near one of those toxic waste dumps.
Mr. Krabs: I think I'm gonna be sick...
Squidward: [nervously] Okay, everybody... [glances at Squilliam, who grins smugly] Let's get this over with. One, two, three... [flinches] four...
[The band's horn section plays a perfectly clean fanfare. Squidward opens his eyes, shocked. Plankton plays the opening notes of "Sweet Victory" on a keyboard. The band separates to reveal SpongeBob as the lights dim.]
[SpongeBob begins singing, with the voice of David Glen Eisley:]
♪ The winner takes all ♪
♪ It's the thrill of one more kill ♪
♪ The last one to fall ♪
♪ Will never sacrifice their will ♪
[Patrick plays a drum fill as the rest of the band comes in, pyrotechnics and aerial lasers going off.]
♪ Don't ever look back on the world closing in ♪
♪ Be on the attack with your wings on the wind ♪
♪ Oh, the games will begin ♪
[The crowd is shown waving lighters with the music. Squilliam stares in shock as Squidward grins at him. He throws his baton behind him and points with both arms, no longer concerned with conducting.]
♪ And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah ♪
[Multiple band members are shown playing and singing along: Sandy on guitar, Mr. Krabs on keytar, and Plankton providing backup vocals. Squidward, meanwhile, gestures emotionally along with the music.]
♪ And it's ours for the taking, it's ours for the fight ♪
[Squilliam clutches his chest and faints, his eyes rolling back. He is carried away on a stretcher; Squidward waves a smug goodbye to him and runs to the middle of the stage, raising his fists as pyrotechnics go off around him.]
♪ And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah ♪
[Mrs. Puff is shown playing guitar, gritting her teeth.]
♪ And the one who's last to fall ♪
[Patrick plays another drum fill as Squidward dances wildly.]
♪ Sweet, sweet, sweet victory... ♪
[Squidward jumps in the air in triumph, and the scene freezes. The screen fades to black, ending the episode.]
==Episode 16==
===''Graveyard Shift'' [2.16a]===
:''[The episode begins at night at the Krusty Krab. It's closing time.]''
:'''French Narrator''': Ah, the Krusty Krab. Bikini Bottom's premiere daytime eatery. Where it will be closing time right about...
:'''Squidward''': ''[switches the "Open" sign to "Closed"]'' Now! 8 o'clock! ''[takes off his Krusty Krab uniform hat]'' So long, suckers! I've got a hot date with a little lady, and her name is ''[pulls out his clarinet]'' Clarinet. ''[Tom shows up at the door and knocks on it, causing Squidward to drop his clarinet]'' What?
:'''Tom''': Are you open?
:'''Squidward''': ''[points to the sign]'' Read the sign.
:'''Tom''': ''[ignores him]'' I'll have a Krabby Patty Deluxe and a double chili kelp fries.
:'''Squidward''': No, you won't. I can't hang out here all night! I've got a life!
:'''Tom''': Well, fine, if you don't want my money!
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Money?! ''[Mr. Krabs falls from the ceiling on top of Squidward]'' You mean, if we stayed open later, you'd give us your money?
:'''Tom''': ''[pulls out cash; Incidental 49, Incidental 30, and Incidental 85 appear behind him]'' Sure.
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Mr. Squidward, ''[tears up the "Closed" sign]'' welcome to the night shift. From now on, ''[he puts a spare Krusty Krab uniform hat on Squidward's head]'' the Krusty Krab is open 24 hours a day.
:'''Squidward''': ''[gets up]'' What?! ''[crowd of fish barge in cheering and tramples Squidward]''
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[gasps]'' Wow! Now we never have to stop working!
:'''Squidward''': ''[gets up again]'' Mr. Krabs.
:'''Mr. Krabs''': See ya in the mornin', boys! I can't hang out here all night! I've got a life. ''[leaves]''
:'''Squidward''': Mr. Krabs!
:'''SpongeBob''': Isn't this great Squidward? Just you and me together for hours and hours and hours, and then the sun'll come up, and it'll be tomorrow, and we'll still be working. It'll be just like a sleepover! Only we'll be sweaty and we'll be covered with ''grease!'' ''[jumps on cash register counter]'' Are you ready to rock, Squidward?!
:'''Squidward''': No.
:'''SpongeBob''': Good! 'Cause we've got customers!
:'''Squidward''': ''[hands a customer a baseball bat]'' Here. Please hit me as hard as you can.
:'''SpongeBob''': Psst, Squidward. I'm working in the kitchen... ''[laughs]'' at night.
:'''Squidward''': ''[takes hat off; leans head on counter]'' Don't hold back.
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[cuts to SpongeBob in kitchen]'' Hey Squidward. Guess what, I'm chopping lettuce... at night. ''[cuts to SpongeBob in the bathroom wiping it clean with himself]'' Look at me, I'm swabbing the bathroom... at night. ''[cuts to SpongeBob at the grill picking up spatula, misses the spatula and hits the grill]'' Ow! I burned my hand! At night. ''[cuts to SpongeBob walking on the counter]'' Night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, na-na-na-night-na-night! '''''NIGHT!'''''
:'''Squidward''': WILL YOU PLEASE?! ''[hands SpongeBob a bag of garbage]'' Here, give me a moment's peace and take out the trash.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Squidward''': Yes. The Hash-Slinging Slasher. But, most people just call him The Ha-- ''[breaks into scream]'' because that's all they have time to say before he... GETS THEM!
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[gasps]'' Tell me the story!
:'''Squidward''': Years ago at this very restaurant, the Hash-Slinging Slasher used to be a fry cook, just... like... you... only clumsier. And then, one night, when he was cutting the patties... it happened.
:'''SpongeBob''': He forgot the secret sauce?
:'''Squidward''': No.
:'''SpongeBob''': He didn't wash his hands?
:'''Squidward''': No.
:'''SpongeBob''': Irregular portions?
:'''Squidward''': No! He cut off his own hand by mistake!
:'''SpongeBob''': You mean like this? ''[pulls one of his arms out of socket, another one grows back in its place, much to Squidward's shock]'' Or like this? ''[continues pulling out his arms]'' Or this? Or this? But what about this? Or this, or this, or this.
:'''Squidward''': ''[interrupts; annoyed]'' Except he wasn't a sponge!
:'''SpongeBob''': So?
:'''Squidward''': '''''SO IT DIDN'T GROW BACK!'''''
:'''SpongeBob''': Oh no! ''[all extra arms lift their hands upwards and run away]''
:'''Squidward''': And he replaced his hand with a rusty spatula. And then, he got hit by a bus! And at his funeral, they ''fired him!'' So now, every... what day is it?
:'''SpongeBob''': Tuesday.
:'''Squidward''': ''Tuesday night,'' his ghost returns to The Krusty Krab to wreak ''his horrible vengeance...''
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[gasps]'' But tonight's Tuesday night!
:'''Squidward''': Then he'll be coming.
:'''SpongeBob''': How will we know?
:'''Squidward''': There are three signs that signal the approach of the Hash-Slinging Slasher. First, the lights will flicker on and off. Next...
:'''Harold''': ''[interrupts]'' Dude, can I have some ketchup?
:'''Squidward''': Oh, here you go. ''[hands him ketchup packet]'' Next, the phone will ring, and there will be nobody there. ''[shows SpongeBob eating his fingernails]'' And finally, the Hash-Slinging Slasher arrives in the ghost of the bus that ran him over! ''[shows SpongeBob eating his fingernails, starts eating his arms, the arms regrow and he eats those]'' Then he exits the bus and crosses the street without looking both ways... because he's already dead! ''[SpongeBob begins eating his hands like popcorn]'' Then he taps on the window with his grisly spatula hand...
:'''SpongeBob''': No...!
:'''Squidward''': He opens the door... ''[pushes his tentacle to SpongeBob's face, making it looking like he's a door that's being opened; while doing this he imitates the sound of a creaky door opening. leans towards SpongeBob's face, which sinks in]'' He slowly approaches the counter! ''["counter" echoes menacingly]'' And y'know what he does next?
:'''SpongeBob''': What?
:'''Squidward''': You really want to know?
:'''SpongeBob''': What?
:'''Squidward''': Are you sure you want to know?
:'''SpongeBob''': What?! What?! What does he do?!
:'''Squidward''': ''[sneaks up on SpongeBob, then taps him]'' He gets ya!
:''[SpongeBob screams repeatedly for about 20 seconds while Squidward is laughing. Everyone stares at SpongeBob in confusion and concern. Squidward eventually stops laughing.]''
:'''Squidward''': SpongeBob ''[SpongeBob continues screaming]''
:SpongeBob, I was- ''[SpongeBob continues screaming]'' I was j- ''[SpongeBob continues screaming]'' I was jus- ''[SpongeBob's pupils are now screaming, too, causing Squidward to lose his temper]'' SpongeBob, I was joking!
:'''SpongeBob''': What?
:'''Squidward''': It's not true. None of it's true.
:'''SpongeBob''': It's not?
:'''Squidward''': Of course not! Nobody has a spatula for a hand. It was all a joke.
:'''SpongeBob''': Oh... ''[laughs repeatedly like he did with screaming, much to Squidward's annoyance.]''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Squidward''': Open 24 hours a day, what a stupid idea. Who wants a Krabby Patty at 3 in the morning?
:''[Cuts to Patrick in bed; his alarm clock rings, and he wakes up]''
:'''Patrick''': Oh, boy! 3:00 AM! ''[eats a Krabby Patty]''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Squidward''': SpongeBob, there are two problems with your theory. One: I hate you. And two: how can that be me when I'm standing right here?
:''[The man taps on the door with his spatula. SpongeBob shrieks loudly in terror to the point where his eyelashes grow and start wiggling.]''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Richard''': Can I have a job application? I brought my own spatula. ''[holds up spatula]'' I called here earlier but I hung up 'cause I was nervous.
:'''SpongeBob''': Do you have references?
:'''Squidward''': When was you on the phone, and you on the bus, then who was flickering the lights?
:'''Squidward, SpongeBob, and Richard''': ''[they look at Nosferatu]'' Nosferatu! ''[Nosferatu smiles, and the lights go off while ending the episode]''
===''Krusty Love'' [2.16b]===
:'''SpongeBob''': Hey, that's my driving teacher, Mrs. Puff!
:'''Mr. Krabs''': '''''Mrs.''''' Puff? ''[disappointed]'' Aww, she's married...
:'''SpongeBob''': Oh, no, Mr. Krabs. She's single.
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Then, what happened to ''Mr.'' Puff?
:''[cut to a live-action shot of a pufferfish, being used as a lamp]''
:'''SpongeBob''': She doesn't like to talk about it.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Mr. Krabs''': SpongeBob! I'm glad I caught ya. I want ya to buy Mrs. Puff--
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[holds up his arms]'' Wait! Don't tell me! You want me to ''run'' down to the store, and buy Mrs. Puff something ''she doesn't need!'' Then you want me to RUN back here, ''[flails his legs back and forth]'' so you can say, ''[pulls his eyes through the top of his head so they look like Krabs' eyes and mimics Krabs' voice]'' "Arrgh, SpongeBob, you're spending' all me money!" And then ''I'll say,'' "But Mr. Krabs! I'm only doing ''WHAT YOU'' '''''SAID!'''''" Then you'll say, "We're not talkin' about '''''this''''' ''[draws a triangle with dashed lines in the air with his finger]'', or '''''THIS''''' ''[draws a square with dashed lines]'', we're talkin' about '''''THIIIIIIIS!'''''" ''[draws a ton of directionless squiggly lines; pants]''
:'''Mr. Krabs''': But, lad, this time's different! Mrs. Puff needs this!
:'''Mrs. Puff''': ''[surrounded by all the nice gifts Krabs had SpongeBob buy her]'' Are we... going to the park soon?
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Please, lad, I'm beggin' ya! I'm a lonely old crustacean who's found love! Don't let me lose her! ''[Starts to cry]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Mr. Krabs, don't. Don't cry, Mr. Krabs! Come on. Okay, I, I'm gonna get it, see? ''[Walks off-screen, and comes back with a washing machine]'' Cheer up, Mr. Krabs, Here's that washing machine you wanted.
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Cheer up? How can I cheer up... <big><big>'''''when you're spendin' all me hard-earned cash?!'''''</big></big>
:'''SpongeBob''': See? You just did it again!
:'''Mr. Krabs''': '''''Lad, I can't help it if you're loose with other people's money!''''' ''[SpongeBob gets a blank expression on his face]'' Do you think Mrs. Puff will need a dryer to go along with that?
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[stoically]'' Well, Mr. Krabs, do you wanna know what I think? ''[cut to Mrs. Puff]'' <big><big>'''''ARRGH...!! REGGA FLEBBA BREEKA BRECKA SMULLEN-ELLEN MR. KRABS!!! YEGGA HEGGA MERGIN WALLET!!! DIMMY MIDDY SPEND!!! RIVY FLIVY DIVA SHIVA MR. KRABS’ WALLET!!!!!'''''</big></big>
:''[Mrs. Puff reads what he said in a dictionary; SpongeBob marches past her grumbling in anger as Mr. Krabs is left smack-jawed.]''
:'''Mrs. Puff''': I didn't know SpongeBob had such a colorful vocabulary. Actually, there's something I'd like to say, too Mr. Krabs. ''[she kicks off her shoes]'' I'm afraid I just don't feel comfortable accepting all these gifts. ''[she removes her hat and coat]'' I'd rather go [[w:Going Dutch|Dutch]]...if you don't mind. ''[She pulls out her wallet and gives Mr. Krabs some money]''
:'''Krabs''': Uh, ok.
:'''Mrs. Puff''': You're a very sweet man, Mr. Krabs.
:''[She kisses his left eye and both eyes form the shape of a heart as the episode ends]''.
==Episode 17==
===''Procastination'' [2.17a]===
:''[SpongeBob's clock spins, breaks and comes to life]''
:'''Clock''': ''[ghostly voice]'' Time's up, SpongeBob...
:''[SpongeBob gasps and shrieks as the flame of the candle comes to life. The fire wick walks up to the essay and picks it up]''
:'''Fire wick''': Only 799 words to go... ''[burns the paper and laughs sinisterly]''
:'''SpongeBob''': No! ''[the fire wick sets his house on fire. He screams]'' What have I done?! ''[runs around the house, yelling]'' Help! Help! My house is on fire! ''[continues running around his burning house until it comes to life]''
:'''SpongeBob's house''': SpongeBob, why?! Why did you set me on fire, SpongeBob?! Why don't you just write your essay?! ''[wailing]'' '''STOP WASTING TIME!!!'''
:''[The scene suddenly changes back to SpongeBob's desk, revealing he fell asleep and had an episode-long nightmare before waking up with a start, pencil and paper stuck to his face.]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Huh?! ''[gets his pencil off]'' Where's my essay? ''[sees it on his forehead]'' Oh, there you are. Hahaha...I must've dozed off!
===''I'm With Stupid'' [2.17b]===
[Patrick's house is shaking. SpongeBob knocks on it. Every time he does, it closes. He opens it himself. Patrick is cleaning frantically. He feather-dusts SpongeBob.]
Patrick: Need... furniture! [makes a lamp post model out of the sand, then licks it to make it remain in shape; he then makes a sand drawer, television, stool, and a couch. The whole time he is still frantically mumbling.]
SpongeBob: Patrick, what's with the home improvement?
[Patrick barks like a dog and continues to clean.]
SpongeBob: Hey, Patrick!
Patrick: Ooh, sweep, sweep! [sweeps around the walls of his house and the air]
SpongeBob: Well, Patrick, I came over to see if you wanted to go jellyfishing, but I can see you're busy having an episode.
Patrick: [stops cleaning and his face turns mad] You know something, SpongeBob? It's just all fun and games for you. Nothing really matters. [imitates SpongeBob] "Oh, let's go jellyfishing! We don't have any work to do!" Life is just a big bowl of fancy assorted cashews, and nobody has anything to dust or to clean or to wipe! Or fabricate!
SpongeBob: But, Patrick, the only thing I've ever seen you clean is your plate.
Patrick: [snaps out of being angry and starts crying] I don't know what to do, SpongeBob! You gotta help me!
SpongeBob: Patrick! You forgot how to eat again! Come on, we'll get the funnel!
Patrick: No, it's not that, SpongeBob! It's worse!
SpongeBob: Darn, I like the funnel. Well, what is it, then?
Patrick: Look! [takes out a rolled-up flashcard from his belly button]
SpongeBob: Hey, a note! [shows a sixteenth note from the paper note]
Patrick: Yeah, but turn it over, there's a letter!
[The letter B is shown from the paper note.]
SpongeBob: You're right!
Patrick: And I got this message from my parents! [hands out a small message]
SpongeBob: Your parents? [reads the message out loud] "Dear Patrick, your mom and I are coming out tomorrow for Starfish Day. Please try to remember, but don't try too hard, or you'll hurt yourself like last time. Love, Daddy."
Patrick: SpongeBob, my parents think I'm dumber than a sack of diapers.
SpongeBob: No, they don't, Patrick. Parents just like to push your buttons. Like this! [pushes Patrick's nipples and his eyes elongate] Nee!
Patrick: [laughs] That always cheers me up. [his eyes go back to normal] But not today.
SpongeBob: Patrick, if your parents think you're dumb, then they must not know what dumb really is.
:'''Patrick''': But don't they watch television?
SpongeBob: That's what I'm saying, Pat. If your parents got to meet a real dummy, they'd realize what a genius you really are.
Patrick: But don't geniuses live in a lamp? And besides, we don't know any dumb people.
SpongeBob: Don't worry, Patrick. I'll be the dummy! When your parents see how dumb I act, they'll think you're the smartest guy ever.
Patrick: Math is power!
[Bubble transition to the next day. Patrick is in front of his mirror.]
Patrick: A, B, C, D, E, F, G... [the doorbell rings] Oh! H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O...!
Janet: Should I get the bullhorn again, Marty?
Patrick: W, X, Y, and Z! [Marty doesn't realize the door has been opened and knocks on Patrick's head] Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.
Marty: Son, you recognized us this time.
Patrick: Why wouldn't I recognize my own parents?
Marty: You never were a bright one.
[Patrick groans. Marty laughs.]
Marty: Well, aren't you gonna show us inside?
Janet: He probably forgot where it is.
Patrick: Well, I know where it...
Marty: Oh, let me lead the way so we don't get lost. [Patrick, Marty, and Janet hold hands] Huh? Hold hands now! [inside the house] Okay, we're almost there! Let go on three. One... two... three! [Marty and Janet let go of Patrick's hands on three]
Janet: Good job!
Marty and Janet: Pats for Patrick! [both laugh as Patrick looks annoyed]
Patrick: I'll go get the beverages. [leaves, then comes back with a tray with three drinks on it]
Marty: Wow, son. You put the drinks in something this time. Ah, son, you must've been working all night to put these together for us.
Janet and Marty: We love you. [both kiss Patrick as he looks even more annoyed and groans]
Patrick: [the doorbell rings] Hooray, the idiot's here! I mean, I'll get it.
[Outside, SpongeBob is putting on his karate helmet.]
SpongeBob: Protective helmet, check.
Gary: Meow.
SpongeBob: I'm supposed to look stupid, Gary.
Gary: Meow? [goes back to SpongeBob's house]
SpongeBob: What could go wrong?
[Patrick's rock opens.]
Patrick: What a surprise.
SpongeBob: Hi.
Patrick: Mom, Dad, meet my neighbor, SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: Hi.
Marty: Hello there.
Janet: How do you do?
SpongeBob: Hi. [walks to Patrick's parents]
Marty: Put 'er there.
[SpongeBob puts a doll on his hand.]
Doll: Mama! Mama!
Patrick: He means "shake." [SpongeBob shakes his entire body] No, SpongeBob, no! Shake hands. [SpongeBob shakes both his hands] No, SpongeBob. Grab my dad's hand. [puts both his hands and his left leg on Marty's hand] Grab it with only one hand. [puts his left leg and hand down] Good boy! Now, move your arm up and down. [SpongeBob moves his shoulder up and down. Patrick giggles]
Janet: So, SpongeBob. Do you live nearby?
SpongeBob: Hi.
Patrick: No, SpongeBob. Show them your house. [SpongeBob pulls up his pants and reveals a blouse] No, not your blouse, your house.
[SpongeBob screams and runs over to his house. He runs into the shell and gets stuck.]
Janet: He lives in a fruit?
Marty: That's unhealthy.
[Patrick tries hard not to laugh but he sweats.]
Patrick: [giggles] Hey, SpongeBob! You wanna stay for dinner?
SpongeBob: [babbling like an idiot]
[Later, Patrick, Marty, and Janet are watching television while eating TV dinners.]
Marty: Does he always do that after he eats?
Patrick: Only on Wednesday.
[Pan over to SpongeBob pushing his nose to reveal his underwear. When he lets go, his pants pull up by themselves. This is repeated a few times. SpongeBob makes a buzzer sound after that. Patrick giggles.]
Marty: [starts giggling with Patrick] Uh, Patrick, I think your friend might be broken.
Patrick: Yeah. And it would take more than some masking tape to fix that guy.
[SpongeBob balances on his nose while making a fire truck siren sound. Makes other various sounds, including a cat yowl sound.]
Marty: Whoa! Is he gonna be okay? [seal barks]
Patrick: Oh, that's nothing. [dolphin chirps] You should see him in the morning prancing around yelling [monkey screeches] "I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready!" [rooster crows] He drives all the neighbors crazy. [horn sounds, school bell rings, donkey brays] Why, just the other day, our neighbor Squidward was-
[SpongeBob jumps backwards over Patrick, Janet, and Marty, who all duck their heads in time, while making an elephant trumpet sound, then he crashes on something nearby.]
Patrick: ...was really no help for him.
[SpongeBob makes imprints of his front and back twice on the wall, as he makes funny horn sounds.]
Patrick: I mean, look at the way he's dressed. Only somebody with holes drilled in their head would wear that stuff. And how about his shape? I mean, I've heard of barrel-chested, [points at SpongeBob, then shows a closeup of his pants] but never box-chested! [Janet, Marty, and Patrick laugh, but SpongeBob frowns] Hey, SpongeBob, do you have any mascara I could borrow? [rolls his fingers over SpongeBob's eyebrows, twanging to sound like elastic rubber bands]
Marty: [chuckles] The boy wears make-up?
Janet: What a card! [everyone laughs, except SpongeBob, now very annoyed]
SpongeBob: [confused] Hey, Patrick. Patrick!
Patrick: Aw, [points at SpongeBob] he said my name.
Marty: Wow, how'd you train him to do that?
[Patrick, Janet, and Marty all laugh, while SpongeBob is mad. He bites Patrick's finger.]
Patrick: Ow! He bit me!
SpongeBob: Patrick, meet me in the kitchen.
Patrick: Oh, I guess the dummy wants to have a private conversation. [Janet and Marty laugh] A dumb one! [they laugh again, as SpongeBob and Patrick enter the kitchen] So, what's on your mind? Oh, wait, I already know the answer. Nothing! [laughs very hard] See, that's funny. 'Cause you're dumb!
SpongeBob: Patrick, could you let up on the insults just a little bit?
Patrick: Oh, were those too complicated for you? I'll try dumb-ing them down a bit.
SpongeBob: Patrick, I get the feeling that you think I really am dumb!
[SpongeBob glances at Patrick's T-shirt, "I'M WITH THE DUMMY" with an arrow pointing towards SpongeBob.]
Patrick: That's just what I'd expect you to say. Dumb people are always blissfully unaware of how dumb they really are. [drools]
:'''SpongeBob''': I'm only pretending to be dumb. It was our plan, remember?
Patrick: Oh, SpongeBob, if only you could see how stupid you sound right now, [SpongeBob is shocked] with your talk of imaginary plans... Tell you what. You've caught me at a good mood. I'll humor you. Go on, go out there and act "smart" for everyone.
SpongeBob: Okay, I will! [takes off his helmet and gives it to Patrick]
:'''Patrick''': ''[puts on the helmet]'' And don't worry, I'll keep this warm for ya.
SpongeBob: [in front of Janet and Marty, clears throat] I have a confession to make. I lied about being stupid. I just acted like a fool so you would appreciate Patrick a little bit more. I know how to talk, and eat, and do laundry. I even separate the darks from the lights. So what do you say we start over and try again? [holds out his hand] Hi! My name is SpongeBob SquarePants, and I am not a dummy.
Marty: [laughs] Amazing! Three minutes in the kitchen and our son has taught him to talk in complete sentences. [puts his right thumb up] Oh, good work, son.
:'''Patrick''': [puts his left thumb up] It wasn't easy, Dad.
SpongeBob: [sputtering] But... but, but, but, but, but, but...
Janet: It looks like it's time for your next lesson, young man!
SpongeBob: Now, listen to me! I'm not dumb! I have a brain! See? Here's a picture of it. [he shows them a small picture of his brain]
Patrick: That must be actual size. [all except SpongeBob laugh]
SpongeBob: No! It's normal size and fully functional. Watch. [writes "2 + 2 = 4" on Patrick's chalkboard] Two plus two equals four!
Marty: Oh, son, you taught him math, too.
SpongeBob: No!
Marty: And you taught him to sing. [SpongeBob is blabbering and sputtering, then starts tensing up] Oh, now he's short-circuiting. You must have taught him a little too much.
[SpongeBob imagines the three all laughing hard, because of SpongeBob's intelligence. Marty and Janet look at each other and laugh; then the three starfish all do the can-can. He imagines the three popping out of SpongeBob's pores. SpongeBob is inside Janet, who is laughing, inside Marty, who is also laughing, inside Patrick, who is also laughing, inside his eye.]
SpongeBob: Allleee! [starts to run towards the wall, crashing through the wall outside]
Marty: You know, son, I've always known that when it comes to brightness, well, you're about a three-watt. But this guy. He's a wet match in a dark cave. He makes phone operators seem smart. [clears his throat] But more importantly, son, he's shown me what a sharp, quick-witted boy you've become. [hugs him] Ha! I feel like I'm really meeting you for the first time. Isn't that right, Janet?
:'''Janet''': You bet, Marty.
Patrick: [his eyes widen and is now in shock] Janet?! Marty?! Who are you people?!
Janet: Marty, I'm scared!
[The doorbell rings, then the rock opens up. Squidward (who's looking put out), Herb, and Margie are outside his rock. Squidward answers the door.]
Squidward: Excuse me? Does this lovely couple belong to you? They've been standing outside my house saying "Where's Patrick?" all day. It's driving me nuts!
[Janet and Marty are standing outside.]
Patrick: Mom! Dad! [hugs them]
Herb Star: Wow, son. You actually recognized us this time.
Margie Star: And you remembered to get dressed today. [Patrick, Herb, and Margie laugh]
:'''Marty''': Oh, that's right, honey. We don't have a son.
:'''Janet''': Oh, yeah.
[Both Janet and Marty walk out of Patrick's house. Patrick and his parents keep on laughing as his rock closes over them, then the screen fades to black, ending the episode.]
==Episode 18==
===''Sailor Mouth'' [2.18a]===
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[speaks into microphone]'' Attention, customers, today's special is a ''[dolphin chirp]'' Krabby Patty served in a greasy ''[dolphin chirp]'' sauce and grilled to ''[dolphin chirp]'' perfection. ''[One customer drops his patty. Another is so shocked even the food he's chewing freezes midair. A mother octopus covers her laughing children's ears]'' And don't forget to ask us to ''[dolphin chirp]'' the ''[dolphin chirp]'' fries. It will be our ''[dolphin chirp]'' pleasure. ''[a giant human ear pops out of Squidward's head; he pushes it back in]'' Hi, Squidward, how the ''[dolphin chirp]'' are ya?
:'''Patrick''': Nice ''[dolphin chirp]'' day we're having, isn't it, Squidward?
<hr width=50%>
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Huh? The Krusty Krab, she's empty! All hands on deck! Batten the front doors! Brace the cash register! Break out the happy snacks! Squidward, where have all me beautiful paying customers gone?
:'''Squidward''': Apparently, the two barnacle-mouth brothers just learned a new word, and SpongeBob just said it over the intercom.
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Well, what was it? What did he say?
:'''Squidward''': Uh, he said, uh, well, he said... ''[whispers the word]''
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Huh?
:'''Squidward''': ''[whispers the word again]''
:'''Mr. Krabs''': ''[gasps]'' SpongeBob and friend! Front and center! Why, I oughta make the two of you paint the Krusty Krab for using such language!
:'''SpongeBob''': But, Mr. Krabs, we were only using our sentence enhancers.
:'''Patrick''': Yeah, it's fancy talk.
:'''Mr. Krabs''': There ain't nothing fancy about that word!
:'''SpongeBob''': You mean ''[dolphin chirp]''?
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Yes, that one! Now quit saying that! It's a bad word!
:'''SpongeBob and Patrick''': Bad word?!
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Yes, siree, that's bad word number 11. In fact, there are 13 bad words you should never use.
:'''Squidward''': Don't you mean there are only 7?
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Not if you're a sailor. ''[laughs]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Wow, 13.
:'''Patrick''': That's a lot of ''[dolphin chirp]'' bad words.
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Okay, boys, I want you to promise me you'll never use that word again.
:'''SpongeBob and Patrick''': We promise.
===''Artist Unknown'' [2.18b]===
:'''Squidward''': Now repeat after me. I have no talent.
:'''SpongeBob''': I have no talent.
:'''Squidward''': Mr. Tentacles has all the talent.
:'''SpongeBob''': Mr. Tentacles has all the talent.
:'''Squidward''': If I'm lucky, some of Mr. Tentacle's talent will rub off on me.
:'''SpongeBob''': If I'm lucky, Mr. Talent will rub his tentacles on my art.
:''[Pause]''
:'''Squidward''': ''[unenthusiastically]'' Whatever.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Squidward''': Your search is over. I am Bikini Bottom's greatest artist. I call this one: "Squidward en repose".
:'''Monty''': I, uh, don't think that will fit in with the other pieces in my collection.
:'''Squidward''': Why not?
:'''Monty''': Because it's an art collection. ''[laughs]''
:'''Squidward''': How about this one? I call it "Bold and Brash".
:'''Monty''': More like: "Belongs in the Trash". ''[Laughs]''
==Episode 19==
===''Jellyfish Hunter'' [2.19a]===
:'''SpongeBob''': But sir, how many jellyfish do you need?
:'''Mr. Krabs''': SpongeBob, we have a whole ego system for the hungry paying customers. Oh no! Don't tell me. ''[gasping]'' '''YOU'VE STOPPED CARING FOR ME COSTUMER!'''
:'''SpongeBob''': '''AAAH! NO, NEVER!'''
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Then go out there, and get me some more jellies!
:'''SpongeBob ''': Okay, Mr. Krabs. Just make sure the jellyfish are comfortable. They are O’so sensitive.
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Oh, I’ll keep them comfortable, alright, inside me wallet.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Mr. Krabs''': More, SpongeBob! What don't you understand about "More"!? ''[multiple of SpongeBobs are watching jellyfishes]'' MORE! MORE! More! More! More. More! More! ''[grimaces and demands more]'' More, more, more, more, more! '''MORE!!'''
:''[Cut to night. A sign reading "Jellyfish Fields: Population 0" is seen.]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Well, there's no more! Now, ''that's'' jellyfishing!
:[No Name follows SpongeBob.]
:'''Mr. Krabs''': You'll never catch me! [He tries to pedal away as he laughs madly] What? [Looks down to see the exercycle is bolted to the floor.] Blasted exercise craze.
''[The jellyfish sting Mr. Krabs and he yells in pain. The jellyfish escape out the door, possibly back to Jellyfish Fields.]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Goodbye, friends!
:'''Mr. Krabs''': ''[walks out of the factory and is incredibly burned with black smoke and weakly voice]'' I'm taking jelly off the menu. ''[leaves]''
===''The Fry Cook Games'' [2.19b]===
:'''Patrick''': D'oh, come on, you're just flipping Patties.
:'''SpongeBob''': Hey, flipping is not as easy as it sounds! ''[Patrick flips over a rock with his foot and makes a sizzling noise]'' Why don't you go home, Patrick? You can compete in the "Laying Under a Rock All Day" Games.
:'''Patrick''': Well, at least, I don't polish my fingernails!
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[gasps]'' You take that back! ''[a gleam shows at the tip of his fingernails]''
:'''Patrick''': ''[mocking]'' Fingernails, fingernails, fingernails!
:'''SpongeBob''': You don't even have fingernails!
:'''Patrick''': I cannot believe what I am hearing!
:'''SpongeBob''': How can you hear?! You don't have ears either!
:'''Patrick''': Er...Holes, holes!
:'''SpongeBob''': Conehead!
:'''Patrick''': Yellow!
:'''SpongeBob''': Pink!
<hr width=50%>
:''[The Deep fry pole vault.]''
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Win this one for the Krusty Krab.
:'''SpongeBob''': For the krusty krab!
:''[flips over the poles and the deep fry and splats down on the circle drawn in the ground. The crowd gasps. SpongeBob forms a number one sign and the crowd cheers]''
:'''Plankton''': Win this one because I told you to.
:'''Patrick''': Because you told me to! ''[flips over the poles, but lands on the handle of the deep fryer, flinging it at the crowd and turning them into fish sticks. A vendor walks up and turns on a heat lamp]''
:'''Lou''': Fish sticks! Get yer fish sticks here!
<hr width=50%>
:''[Heavy metal music plays. The bell rings. SpongeBob tears off his blue robe, showing off his extremely large, muscular body. Patrick rips off his own green robe, underneath which he is wearing a business suit. He tears off the business suit, also revealing an extremely large, muscular body. The two dive at each other, screaming, until they collide. They wrestle and continue to wind up in twisted positions. They spin around and wind up wrestling with themselves. They realize this, and dive back at each other. Patrick sits on top of SpongeBob, holding his foot]''
:'''Patrick''': Forget the Chum Bucket! This is personal. ''[takes off SpongeBob's shoe and licks his foot slowly. SpongeBob screams in agony. The two wrestle again. SpongeBob sits on Patrick's chest and screams as he lifts up a pencil with the eraser side pointing toward Patrick; he slowly brings it down to his name tag and erases the "Pat" in "Patrick," leaving "Rick"]'' No! My name's not Rick! ''[tackles SpongeBob in a puff of smoke]''
:''[the two wrestle once more before they stop]''
:'''SpongeBob''': I don't like you!
:'''Patrick''': I don't like you more!
:'''SpongeBob''': I never liked you!
:'''Patrick''': I 1,000 times never liked you!
:'''SpongeBob''': Pink!
:'''Patrick''': Yellow!
:''[They struggle to push each other until both of their pants rip and fall down. Patrick's underwear is yellow. SpongeBob's underwear is pink]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Yellow.
:'''Patrick''': Pink?
:'''SpongeBob and Patrick''': ''[their eyes start to water]'' You do care! ''[both start crying and hug each other]''
:'''SpongeBob''': Let's promise never to fight again, buddy.
:'''Patrick''': Yeah, pal. Let's go home.
:''[both walk away holding hands and whistling while the audience boos]''
:'''Mr. Krabs''': Hey! Where ya going?
:'''Plankton''': Get back here and kill each other!
:'''Patrick''': You're my best friend ever.
:'''SpongeBob''': You too, Patrick.
:'''Patrick''': You know, these were white when I bought 'em.
==Episode 20==
===''Squid on Strike'' [2.20a]===
:'''Squidward''': Nobody cares about the fate of laborers as long as they can get their instant gratification.
===''Sandy, SpongeBob and the Worm'' [2.20b]===
:'''Sandy''': SpongeBob, quit your worrying. I can take care of myself. After all, Who's the strongest critter in Bikini Bottom? ''[pulls a live-action boat down underwater by its anchor]''
:'''SpongeBob''': You are.
:'''Sandy''': And who put the, hiyah-hah-huah, "K" in "karate"?
:'''SpongeBob''': ''[body is shaped like a "U"] You'' did.
:'''Sandy''': And who saves your yellow backside from certain destruction on a regular basis?
:''[SpongeBob's backside reads "Property of Sandy Cheeks" printed on it]''
:'''SpongeBob''': You do.

*It’s red hot.
* Doesn't it feel so good to be bad?
* ''[after seeing Herb's card, reading "I missed you! H."]'' Herb, seriously, I want to dig up that William Shakespeare so he can see what true writing is. I love it!

:'''Scarlet''': Do you know who this is? ''[points at Protret Queen Elizabeth]''
:'''Kevin''': ''Uh... la cucaracha?''
:'''Scarlet''': This is Queen Elizabeth, ruler of England. I love England. Their music, the fashion. I'm seriously thinking about overthrowing it someday. Anyway. This pale drink of water oversees it all. I'm her biggest fan, loved her work. And I really, really, really want her crown!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Scarlet''': Steal me the crown, and all your dreams come true. RESPECT POWER!
:'''Stuart''': BANANA!

:'''Herb''': Woah! These guys are pumped!
:'''Scarlet''': Maybe I'll settle them down with a bedtime story. How does that sound, Bob? Bob?, Bob? ''[screaming louder]'' BOB?
:'''Bob''': ''Bedtime story?''
:'''Herb''': That is a groovy idea! I'll get some cookies and warm milk. This is gonna be so fun!
:''[Bob asks Scarlet if she has a good bedtime story]''
:'''Scarlet''': Oh, yes. I've got a really really really good ''bedtime story. [beginning to count the history]'' Once upon a time, there were 3 little pigs. One fateful day, the pigs encountered a big, bad wolf who had a wonderful surprise for them. The wolf offered the 3 piggies and all their friends a job working for her. Everyone would be so happy. All the 3 little piggies had to do was just steal one little crown that the beautiful wolf had wanted ever since she was a penniless little street cub, unloved and abandoned… but that crown would mean she was a princess, and everybody loves the princess, so the wolf sent the piggies to get that crown... but the little piggies weren't up to the challenge. They ''failed'' their mission, so the wolf huffed and puffed, and she blew them off the face of the earth! The end. ''[Kevin and Stuart are scared]'' Good luck getting that crown tomorrow, little piggies. I know you won't disappoint me. ''[the light turns off while they look at Bob sleeping]''

:'''Kevin''': ''Uh... si? [the tower guard hits Kevin in the head] Augh!''
:'''Keeper of the Crown''': I've been up here for decades… ''[hits Kevin right between his legs with his cane while he screams]'' ...Just waiting for someone to try and steal the Queen's treasure! ''[wacks Kevin to the wall with his cane]''

:'''Kevin''': ''[relieved] Scarlet!''
:'''Scarlet''': ''[gets mad at the Minions]'' Don't you "Scarlet" me, you backstabbing little traitors! Using Herb's invention to steal my crown?!
:'''Herb''': I feel used. Not gonna lie.
:'''Scarlet''': You stole my dream. ''I'' was going to conquer England someday. There was going to be a coronation, and I was going to be made queen. ''Every'' moment was planned. I’d wear a dress so sparkly it glowed, and everyone who ''ever'' doubted me would be watching and they would be crying. I was going to be the picture of ''elegance'' and ''class'', and you ''pinheads'' screwed it up!

{{see also|Criticism}}
'''[[w:Critique|Critique]]''' is a method of disciplined, systematic analysis of a written or oral discourse.
{{theme-stub}}
== Quotes ==
* The focus of critique is essentially the cluster of relations that bind the one to the other, or the one to the two others, power, truth and the subject. And if governmentalization is really this movement concerned with subjugating individuals in the very reality of a social practice by mechanisms of power that appeal to a truth, I will say that critique is the movement through which the subject gives itself the right to question truth concerning its power effects and to question power about its discourses of truth. Critique will be the art of voluntary inservitude, of reflective indocility.
** [[Michel Foucault]], "What is Critique?" ''The Essential Foucault'' (New York: 1997), p. 386
*Constructive critique is a sign of the utmost intellectual respect.
**[[James H. Sweet]], [https://www.historians.org/perspectives-article/our-letter-writing-culture-revisiting-recommendation-and-assessment-october-2022/]

:'''Carly:''' Um, my dad's stationed in Europe right now.
:'''Principal Franklin:''' ''[to Ms. Briggs]'' He's in the military.
:'''Ms. Briggs:''' Well, there must be some adult in charge of her.
:'''Carly:''' My older brother, Spencer.
:'''Ms. Briggs:''' Oh, yes. The artist.
:'''Carly:''' He's a great artist.
:'''Principal Franklin:''' Look, we don't need to call her brother in about this. I'm sure that you can come up with a suitable punishment.
:'''Ms. Briggs:''' Fine. You know, Carly, I am in charge of the talent show this year.
:'''Carly:''' Yeah, you're holding auditions on Saturday.
:'''Ms. Briggs:''' No. ''You'' are.

:'''Carly''': WHY'D YOU FILM US AT THE AUDITIONS TODAY?
:'''Freddie''': Oh, 'cause you guys were being funny.
:'''Sam''': Well, you shouldn't have put us '''online''' without our permission!!!
:'''Freddie''': I didn't! I edited you guys out before I uploaded the auditions.
:'''Carly''': No, you did the opposite of that.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Freddie''': It says, "At your request, this video will be removed..."

:'''Freddie''': "...tomorrow morning."
:'''Carly''': Aw, man!
:'''Sam''': Freddie?!
:'''Carly:''' You know how many more thousands of people could view it by then?!
:'''Freddie''': Alright! Look, before you get all freaked out, SplashFace has message boards.
:'''Carly:''' So?
:'''Freddie''': So, let's see what people are saying about the video. Um... okay, here's one: "Carly, you and your friend Sam crack me up... FUNNY STUFF!"
:'''Carly:''' Ok so one person liked the video.
:'''Freddie''': Wait...! SlackerBoy314 writes: "Carly and Sam, you chicks are HILARIOUS! When's your next show???" And this kid says: "You guys are way better than most of the PUKE here on SplashFace."

:''[At beginning of episode]''
:'''Carly''': Which is why I say the potato is superior to the sports bra.
:'''Sam''': And if you don't believe us, try making French fries out of a sports bra!
----
:'''Spencer''': I came up with an insanely awesome way to get more people watching your guys' webcast!
:'''Freddie''': Tell me.
:'''Spencer''': We get a bunch of fireworks, right? And not the lightweight consumer-grade stuff. I'm talking Fourth of July razzle-dazzle.
:'''Freddie''': Razzle-dazzle?
:'''Spencer''': Yes, both! Then, at night, we launch the fireworks off the roof of our building, and they explode spelling out "iCarly.com" in the sky!
:'''Freddie''': Can we really do that?
:'''Spencer''': No.
----
:'''Freddie''': What's that?
:'''Carly''': Soggy banner. Our plans to get more viewers didn't go too well.
:'''Sam''': Yeah, like how the ''Titanic'' staying afloat didn't go too well.
:'''Carly''': Come on, maybe a few people read our sign... Before the rain ruined all our hard work and made us sad.
:'''Sam''': Yeah. We could still win.
:'''Freddie''': Yeah, I don't think so. I think me and Spencer are gonna win, and you two are gonna have to touch Lewbert's wart. I feel bad for you, Carly. Not for you.
----
:'''Carly:''' Well done, Spencer. You, too, Freddie.
:'''Freddie:''' Thank you, Carly. In your face, Sam.
:''[Sam stares at Freddie]''
:'''Spencer:''' Carly, Sam, Freddie. You cannot believe how awesome this sign looks from out here. It is so dazzlingly bright, I swear it's like-- ''[car crashes]''
:'''Carly:''' What's going on out there, Spencer?
:'''Spencer:''' Well, it seems our sign is so bright and dazzling, it distracted one of the drivers below. ''[car crashes]'' Actually, two of the drivers-- ''[another car crashes]'' Three of the dr-- ''[many cars crash]'' Literally, many of the drivers below are being distracted by our extremely dazzling sign.
:'''Freddie:''' Quick. Turn it off!
:'''Carly and Sam:''' Turn it off!
:'''Spencer:''' Oh, okay. I will now turn off the sign. ''[pushes button, but the sign starts flickering instead of turning off]''
:'''Freddie:''' That's ''not'' off!
:'''Carly:''' Spencer.
:'''Sam:''' Dude!
:'''Spencer:''' Oh, man, I am pressing the buttons! Literally, all of them, trying to turn off the sign.
:'''Freddie''': You're gonna overload the circuits!
:''[sign malfunctions and goes from saying "PLEASE GO ONLINE TO iCARLY.COM" to saying "P█E██E ██ ON████ ██ █CARL█████"]''

== ''Dream of Dance'' ==
:'''Ms. Briggs:''' Today, we have a special treat.
:'''Gibby:''' ''[raising his hand]'' Is it a spelling bee?
:'''Ms. Briggs:''' Be quiet, Gibby! You are about to be stimulated by a true performer.
:'''Gibby:''' ''[raising his hand]'' Ryan Seacrest?
:'''Ms. Briggs:''' ''[annoyed]'' '''''GIBBY!'''''
:''[Gibby quickly lowers his hand]''
<hr width=50%/>
:'''Carly/Spencer:''' ''[of the multiple boys in the apartment Carly/Spencer will end up dancing with in a dream]'' I don't know what's going on here... but I think I like it.
== ''Like Jake'' ==
:'''Sam''': Tell me everything!
:'''Carly''': He said we should hang out some time! ''[Girlish screams; teacher walks by and she speaks in a fake tone]'' Actually, I feel that teachers should give us more homework.
:'''Sam''': Yes. More homework and more discipline.
:'''Carly''': Yes, discipline is a priority in...

:'''Carly''': When it comes to the part when Jake was supposed to sing, we'll just improvise and talk about something funny.
:'''Sam''': Like Freddie's haircut.
:'''Freddie''': ''[singsong voice]'' I heard that!
:'''Sam''': ''[singsong voice]'' You were supposed to!

:'''Jake''': I saw you kissed his nose.

:'''Carly''': But it was just a nose kiss! Aw, come on! It was strictly nasal!
== ''Wanna Stay With Spencer'' ==
:'''Spencer''': Alright, don't worry too much about this yet, just... go do your homework or something.
:'''Carly''': Kay.

:'''Carly''': Yes, sir!
:'''Spencer''': '''AND JUST SAY NO!'''
:'''Carly''': Always!
:'''Spencer''': '''AND STAY IN SCHOOL!'''
:'''Carly''': Maybe.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Carly''': I wanna stay here in Seattle with Spencer!
:'''Granddad''': Spencer needs to learn how to take care of himself before he can take care of a child.
:'''Carly''': I'm not a child! I'm just young and short.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Spencer''': ''[answers phone]'' Hello? No, Freddie's not here, Mrs. Benson. I don't know when I grew leg hair! I gotta go!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Spencer''': Here. ''[hands Granddad a piece of paper]''
:'''Granddad''': What's this?
:'''Spencer''': Everything you need to know about taking care of Carly. I've listed all her allergies, the number for poison control...
:'''Granddad''': She has allergies?
:'''Spencer''': Yes. These are Carly's favorite foods, drinks, soups and chowders...
:'''Granddad''': Aren't soups and chowders the same thing?
:'''Spencer''': No, there's a distinction. This is her homework schedule and a number for a tutor because she's been having a little trouble with science. These are the vitamins that she needs to take ''everyday''. I only give her the ones shaped like dinosaurs.
:'''Granddad''': Why?
:'''Spencer''': Dinosaurs are cool. Oh, and she's really into drinking coffee, ''[whispers]'' but I always give her decaf without telling her.
:'''Carly''': What?
:'''Spencer''': ''[in normal voice]'' Nothing.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Sam''': So... who's gonna take the blame when I put live raccoons in the trunk of Mrs. Briggs' car?
:'''Carly''': Will you at least ''try'' to stay out of trouble?
:'''Sam''': No.

:'''Sam''': Anti-tick lotion?
:'''Freddie''': It's precautionary!
<hr width=50%/>
:''[Carly, Sam, and Freddie are cleaning out Carly's locker]''
:'''Sam''': Oooh can I have this? ''(iPod)''
:'''Carly''': I'm leaving, not dying.
:'''Sam''': But don't you want something for me to remember you by? Like 500 of your favorite songs?
:'''Carly''': Give it!
:'''Sam''': I'm just trying to cheer you up.
:'''Carly''': You can't cheer me up. I'm moving to Yakima. I'm gonna be a Yakimite. Or Yakimanitian.
:'''Freddie''': Yakimaniac.
:'''Sam''': ''[To Freddie]'' You're yakimannoying.
== ''Nevel'' ==
:'''Freddie:''' And what did he mean, "You'd rue the day"?
:'''Sam:''' Yeah, what does rue mean?
:'''Carly:''' No one knows!
:'''Spencer:''' I got it, right here. "Roux: A mixture of fats and flour used to make sauces and soups."
:'''Sam:''' ''[perplexed]'' Nevel called you a fat flour?
:'''Carly:''' Try spelling it differently.
:'''Spencer:''' Okay, here. "Rue: To regret. To wish that something had never been done."
:'''Sam:''' Uh-oh.
:'''Freddie:''' You know what this means.
:'''Carly:''' Of course. He's gonna make me regret shoving tapenade in his face by trashing iCarly on his stupid website.
:'''Freddie:''' ''[shrugs in despair]'' We're dead.
:'''Carly:''' ''[touches her cheek]'' I'm gonna go scrub his creepy lip residue off my cheek.
:'''Spencer:''' Hey, why isn't it cold in here? Toasty the Baker. GOOD GOD! ''[runs to his sculpture along with Sam and Freddie and screams]'' <big>'''''TOASTY!'''''</big>
:'''Sam:''' ''[about Spencer's melted butter sculpture]'' Gross, it's like a giant baby threw up.
:'''Spencer:''' '''''WHY?!?!?!?!'''''
:'''Sam:''' I told you not to turn the heat up!
:'''Freddie:''' What?! I never even--
:'''Sam:''' It's too late for apologies.
:'''Freddie:''' But I didn't turn the--
:'''Spencer''': It's OK. It's OK. I just need a mop and a bucket and 20 more pounds of butter!
:'''Mrs. Benson''': Spencer.
:'''Spencer''': Mrs. Benson. Freddie, your mom's here.
:'''Mrs. Benson''': I came over because I heard screaming. Freddie, are you all right?
:'''Freddie''': Yes, mom.
:'''Spencer:''' He's fine. But I really got to
:'''Mrs. Benson''': Do you know he's allergic to fruit?
:'''Sam''': ''[sarcastically, to Freddie]'' Aw, who's got a fruit problem?
:'''Freddie''': Not me. I am not allergic to fruit!
:'''Mrs. Benson''': Well, what if you were? He'd probably give you an orange and then your face would puff up.

:'''Carly:''' Great. Now what's the real reason?
:'''Freddie:''' Okay. Valerie wants to do a web show, and she asked me to be her tech producer.
:'''Sam:''' So you're just gonna ditch ''iCarly'' for another web show?
:'''Carly:''' That's competing against us?
:'''Freddie:''' Valerie's my girlfriend. What am I supposed to do?
:'''Sam''': ''[bluntly]'' Dump the chick! How about that?

:'''Sam:''' Your mom only gives you $8 a month?
:'''Freddie:''' She's afraid that if she gives me more, I'll buy a bus ticket and leave her.

:'''Carly''': Well, let's see. He said, "Kiss me," then puckered his lips. So, call me crazy, but I think the boy wanted some Carly-kissing!
:'''Freddie''': That jerk! No one tries to kiss ''my'' girl! ''[Carly gives him a look]'' (Sorry. Let me rephrase that.) No one tries to kiss you!
== ''Hatch Chicks'' ==
:'''Carly''': We got cereal.
:'''Sam''': Milk?
:'''Carly''': Out of milk.
:'''Sam''': I'll use root beer.
:'''Spencer''': You guys? Any reason I just found this in my shower?
:'''Carly''': Oh, my gosh.
:'''Sam''': A chick.
:'''Spencer''': Yeah, I picked him up thinking he was a bar of soap. Good thing I realized before… ''[stops]'' Never mind.
:'''Sam''': But how could there be a…
:'''Carly''': Our chicks haven't hatched yet.
:'''Sam''': Or…
:'''Carly''': WE'RE MOTHERS! ''[Carly and Sam scream as they run upstairs]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Freddie''': I was watching the egg cam. I can't believe they already hatched. Aw, man, did Sam eat 'em?
:'''Sam''': I wouldn't eat baby chicks. Raw.
:'''Carly''': They escaped.
:'''Freddie''': What?
:'''Sam''': Spencer found one in the bathroom downstairs, so the other ones could be anywhere in this whole apartment.
:'''Freddie''': Wait. I thought newborn chicks have to stay in their incubator.
:'''Carly''': They do.
:'''Sam''': How long can they be out?
:'''Carly''': I don't know. Let's go online and find out. Hurry.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Carly''': Just walk towards me, you nutty little [[bird|chick]]!
:'''Sam''': Try to grab him!
:''[The chick, Yoko, looks like it’s saying “Really?”]''

<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Freddie''': It says that baby [[birds|chicks]] need to be kept at 90 degrees.
:'''Carly''': What's the temperature in here?
:'''Spencer''': 72.
:'''Carly''': Turn the heat up to 90!
:'''Spencer''': 90 degrees?
:'''Sam''': No, 90 pickles. Yes, 90 degrees!
:'''Spencer''': No need to be hurtful.
== ''Don't Want To Fight'' ==
:'''Freddie''': You know, they say when a girl constantly rips on a guy, it really just means she has a crush on him.
:'''Sam''': Yeah, but I wasn't ripping on a guy...I was ripping on ''you''.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Sam''': First off, Carly said the shirt was no big deal. And the tickets I got were for Cuttlefish, a concert that Carly told me she was dying to go to. It's her favorite band.
:'''Freddie''': Let the record show that Carly ''is'' fond of Cuttlefish.
:'''Sam''': So yeah, I traded the shirt, but it was to get something Carly wanted a lot. Something the two of us could've done together. And Carly refused to go to the concert so--
:'''Carly''': I would've gone with you if you'd just apologized.
:'''Sam''': Um, she interrupted me. Yank her ponytail.
:'''Freddie''': Nah, I'm gonna allow it.
:'''Sam''': Why?
:'''Freddie''': Because I love her.

:'''Gibby''': What for?
:'''Freddie''': Just do it! Go!
:'''Gibby''': Hey, Mr. Palladino, can you staple these papers together?
:'''Mr. Palladino'''' Certainly, Gibby. That's odd. I don't see the stapler anywhere.
:'''Freddie'''' I have it.
:'''Sam''': Wow. You are a maniac.

:'''Carly:''' So?
:'''Freddie''': So, let's see what people are saying about the video. Um... okay, here's one: "Carly, you and your friend Sam crack me up... FUNNY STUFF!"

:'''Spencer''': I came up with an insanely awesome way to get more people watching your guys' webcast!
:'''Freddie''': Tell me.
:'''Spencer''': We get a bunch of fireworks, right? And not the lightweight consumer-grade stuff. I'm talking Fourth of July razzle-dazzle.
:'''Freddie''': Razzle-dazzle?
:'''Spencer''': Yes, both! Then, at night, we launch the fireworks off the roof of our building, and they explode spelling out "iCarly.com" in the sky!
:'''Freddie''': Can we really do that?
:'''Spencer''': No.
----
:'''Freddie''': What's that?
:'''Carly''': Soggy banner. Our plans to get more viewers didn't go too well.
:'''Sam''': Yeah, like how the ''Titanic'' staying afloat didn't go too well.
:'''Carly''': Come on, maybe a few people read our sign... Before the rain ruined all our hard work and made us sad.
:'''Sam''': Yeah. We could still win.
:'''Freddie''': Yeah, I don't think so. I think me and Spencer are gonna win, and you two are gonna have to touch Lewbert's wart. I feel bad for you, Carly. Not for you.

:'''Carly:''' What's going on out there, Spencer?
:'''Spencer:''' Well, it seems our sign is so bright and dazzling, it distracted one of the drivers below.

:'''Sam''': Tell me everything!
:'''Carly''': He said we should hang out some time! ''[Girlish screams; teacher walks by and she speaks in a fake tone]'' Actually, I feel that teachers should give us more homework.
:'''Sam''': Yes. More homework and more discipline.

<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Spencer''': Here. ''[hands Granddad a piece of paper]''
:'''Granddad''': What's this?
:'''Spencer''': Everything you need to know about taking care of Carly. I've listed all her allergies, the number for poison control...
:'''Granddad''': She has allergies?
:'''Spencer''': Yes. These are Carly's favorite foods, drinks, soups and chowders...
:'''Granddad''': Aren't soups and chowders the same thing?
:'''Spencer''': No, there's a distinction. This is her homework schedule and a number for a tutor because she's been having a little trouble with science. These are the vitamins that she needs to take ''everyday''. I only give her the ones shaped like dinosaurs.
:'''Granddad''': Why?
:'''Spencer''': Dinosaurs are cool. Oh, and she's really into drinking coffee, ''[whispers]'' but I always give her decaf without telling her.
:'''Carly''': What?
:'''Spencer''': ''[in normal voice]'' Nothing.
<hr width="50%"/>

:'''Sam''': But don't you want something for me to remember you by? Like 500 of your favorite songs?
:'''Carly''': Give it!
:'''Sam''': I'm just trying to cheer you up.
:'''Carly''': You can't cheer me up. I'm moving to Yakima. I'm gonna be a Yakimite. Or Yakimanitian.
:'''Freddie''': Yakimaniac.
:'''Sam''': ''[To Freddie]'' You're yakimannoying.
== ''Nevel'' ==
:'''Freddie:''' And what did he mean, "You'd rue the day"?
:'''Sam:''' Yeah, what does rue mean?
:'''Carly:''' No one knows!
:'''Spencer:''' I got it, right here. "Roux: A mixture of fats and flour used to make sauces and soups."
:'''Sam:''' ''[perplexed]'' Nevel called you a fat flour?
:'''Carly:''' Try spelling it differently.
:'''Spencer:''' Okay, here. "Rue: To regret. To wish that something had never been done."
:'''Sam:''' Uh-oh.
:'''Freddie:''' You know what this means.
:'''Carly:''' Of course. He's gonna make me regret shoving tapenade in his face by trashing iCarly on his stupid website.
:'''Freddie:''' ''[shrugs in despair]'' We're dead.
:'''Carly:''' ''[touches her cheek]'' I'm gonna go scrub his creepy lip residue off my cheek.

:'''Freddie:''' What?! I never even--
:'''Sam:''' It's too late for apologies.
:'''Freddie:''' But I didn't turn the--
:'''Spencer''': It's OK. It's OK. I just need a mop and a bucket and 20 more pounds of butter!
:'''Mrs. Benson''': Spencer.
:'''Spencer''': Mrs. Benson. Freddie, your mom's here.
:'''Mrs. Benson''': I came over because I heard screaming. Freddie, are you all right?
:'''Freddie''': Yes, mom.
:'''Spencer:''' He's fine. But I really got to
:'''Mrs. Benson''': Do you know he's allergic to fruit?
:'''Sam''': ''[sarcastically, to Freddie]'' Aw, who's got a fruit problem?
:'''Freddie''': Not me. I am not allergic to fruit!
:'''Mrs. Benson''': Well, what if you were? He'd probably give you an orange and then your face would puff up.
:'''Sam''': I would love that.
:'''Spencer''': Look, I gave him no fruit. Now, please, I'm out of butter--
:'''Mrs. Benson''': '''False!''' I saw you come home yesterday carrying grocery bags filled with butter.
:'''Spencer''': You spied on me?
:'''Mrs. Benson''': No, I just happened to be glancing through my peephole.
:'''Spencer''': That butter's gone and so am I.
:'''Mrs. Benson''': What have you done with all that butter? Freddie, I want you to take a bubble bath tonight. Spencer!

:'''Carly''': Well, we're sorry we went in here without permission. But when we saw this furniture…
:'''Sam''': We thought it was too old and gross for anyone to actually use.
:'''Freddie:''' Okay, wait. Something still doesn't make sense. Why did Lewbert tell us that no one lived here?
:'''Lewbert:''' Cause I'm a jerk! Ha, ha, ha, I got you kids good! Score one for Lewbert! Happy Hannukah!
:'''Carly:''' Halloween.

:'''Carly''': What is it?
:'''Sam''': You buy yourself a robot girlfriend?
:'''Freddie''': I don't need a robot girlfriend. Because in 20 years, I guarantee you, I will be Carly's second husband.
:'''Carly''': What happened to my first husband?
:'''Freddie''': Nothing you can prove.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Carly''': What did you get?
:'''Freddie''': It's a teeny video camera disguised as a piece of pie! ''[takes out a giant plastic piece of pie with a very conspicuous camera lens on it. Carly and Sam laugh]''
:'''Sam''': Yeah, who wouldn't that fool?
:'''Freddie''': It looks real.
:'''Carly''': Yeah. Like a real piece of pie with a camera lens on the side!
:'''Sam''': Look, it comes with a giant fork! ''[holds up the fork]''
:'''Freddie''': Give it! ''[snatches fork back]'' This is a quality piece of spy equipment!

:'''Spencer''': You know, I think it was the Spy Channel.
:'''Freddie''': I don't know what you guys are talking about! This is just a normal piece of pie that ''doesn't record anything!''

:'''Carly''': It's just a bee.
:'''Freddie''': You don't understand; I am ''extremely'' allergic to bees! Get out of here, you stupid bee! I think he wants my pie!
:'''Carly''': That ''is'' a stupid bee. ''[Freddie hands Carly the fake pie, runs, falls over, gets up and runs for the entrance to Ms. Briggs' house to flee from the bee]'' Where are you going?
:'''Freddie''': I can't get stung! ''[he goes inside]''

:'''Carly:''' Oh, come on.
:'''Freddie:''' Yeah, she's always putting me down, and calling me mean names, and every time I get an ice cream cone, she takes it and she licks it! She just licks it all over the place, just to bug me!
:'''Carly:''' Great. Now what's the real reason?
:'''Freddie:''' Okay. Valerie wants to do a web show, and she asked me to be her tech producer.
:'''Sam:''' So you're just gonna ditch ''iCarly'' for another web show?
:'''Carly:''' That's competing against us?
:'''Freddie:''' Valerie's my girlfriend. What am I supposed to do?
:'''Sam''': ''[bluntly]'' Dump the chick! How about that?
:'''Freddie:''' You know, you guys were the ones who talked me into going out with her in the first place, and now I'm the bad guy?
:'''Sam:''' Look, Freddie, you better just--
:'''Carly:''' Stop. He's right. He should help his girlfriend.
:'''Freddie:''' Thanks. And I wasn't gonna leave you guys with no help. I got you guys a new tech producer. If you want him.

:'''Sam:''' Your mom only gives you $8 a month?
:'''Freddie:''' She's afraid that if she gives me more, I'll buy a bus ticket and leave her.

:'''Carly:''' I didn't wanna break my promise, but the guilt was eating me alive! ''[plops on the couch]'' What do I do?!
:'''Spencer:''' Come on, you're a smart little Carly. So you should know, sometimes, doing what's right is more important than keeping a promise. One more thing.
:'''Carly:''' What?!
:'''Spencer:''' ''[holds up a pair of clippers]'' There's an "A" stuck to your butt. ''[takes it off her]''

:'''Principal Franklin:''' Carly. I was just--
:'''Carly:''' I have to tell you something.
:'''Principal Franklin:''' All right.
:'''Carly:''' I changed my grade in Honor's History because I thought I deserved an "A." Then I felt bad about it so I tried to change it back, but the CSA stopped me before I could, and then I lied to you about your birthday, which I really didn't care about at all.
:'''Principal Franklin:''' So, you want the microwave back?
:'''Carly:''' No, you can keep the microwave. But I feel terrible about this whole thing and I just wanna make it right.
:'''Principal Franklin:''' I see. And you were the one who changed your grade to an A in the school's computer?
:'''Carly:''' Yes, sir.
:'''Principal Franklin:''' Because Freddie just told me that ''he'' was the one who hacked the school's computer and changed your grade to an "A."
:''[Carly sees Freddie behind her]''
:'''Freddie:''' Hiya.
:'''Sam:''' ''[also enters]'' Okay. It was me, all right? ''I'' hacked the computer and ''I'' changed the grades.
:'''Principal Franklin:''' Now, that I believe.
:'''Sam:''' And the only reason they didn't tell on me was 'cause I made them promise not to. And I was wrong to do that to a friend.
:'''Carly:''' ''[to Sam]'' Thanks. ''[to Principal Franklin]'' So, are we in trouble?
:'''Principal Franklin:''' I get to keep the microwave?
:'''Carly:''' It's all yours.
:'''Principal Franklin:''' Then I think, under the circumstances, you and Freddie are off the hook.
:'''Carly:''' Awesome.
:'''Freddie:''' Thanks.
:'''Principal Franklin:''' But as for Sam--
:'''Sam:''' Yeah, yeah. Don't get all dramatic; Just hit me with it.
:'''Principal Franklin:''' ''[typing on the computer]'' Detention, twice a week for six weeks. I'm sorry, Sam.
:'''Sam:''' Hey, I gotta learn my lesson.
:''[school bell rings]''
:'''Principal Franklin:''' Ah. Time for assembly. Shall we? ''[he, Carly, Sam and Freddie leave the Principal's Office, but Sam returns]''
:'''Sam:''' Let's make my detention ''once'' a week... for ''two'' weeks. ''[an angry Carly pulls her by the hair]'' Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair... ''[the screen fades to black, ending the episode, implying that Principal Franklin changed the detention back to twice a week for six weeks]''

:'''Sam''': First off, Carly said the shirt was no big deal. And the tickets I got were for Cuttlefish, a concert that Carly told me she was dying to go to. It's her favorite band.
:'''Freddie''': Let the record show that Carly ''is'' fond of Cuttlefish.
:'''Sam''': So yeah, I traded the shirt, but it was to get something Carly wanted a lot. Something the two of us could've done together. And Carly refused to go to the concert so--

==Moana==
*We were voyagers... (realized) We were voyagers... (running in the hill) '''''WE WERE VOYAGERS, WE WERE VOYAGERS, WE WERE VOYAGERS!''''' (running back to her Gramma) why did we stop?
*[Yelling at the Ocean] WHAT?! I SAID HELP ME! AND WREAKING MY BOAT?! NOT HELPING! [she kicks, but the Ocean recedes, causing her to fall on her back] Fish pee in you ALL DAY! So... (Growls)
*I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Te Fiti. The Ocean Chose Me.
*You are not my hero, and I’m not here, so you could sign my oar!
==Maui==
* ''[from trailer]'' D'you know who Maui is? Only the greatest demi-god in the Pacific Islands! With his magic fish-hook, he slowed down the sun! Pulled islands from the sea! Battled monsters! And I should know. Because I'm Maui. ''[improvises a haka; Moana and Pua watch in silence.]'' Nothin"? Really? What's a demigod gotta do?
* ''[offscreen]'' I am still falling!
* If you start singing, I'm gonna throw up.
* ''[holding HeiHei by the neck]'' Boatsnack!
* You're welcome!
* ''[to Mini-Maui]'' No mortal's gonna jump into the Realm of-- ''[Moana lands on him, bounces off of him and tumbles down a cliff]'' Well, she's dead.
Maui: PITZ!
==Dialogue==
Chief Tui: No One Goes Beyond The Reef. Moana, We Have One Rule, A Rule That Keeps Us Safe. Instead Of Danger Our People, So, You Can Run Back Right To The Water. If I Think You’re Past This…! NO ONE GOES BEYOND THE REEF!
<hr width=60%>
:''[While trying to sail beyond the reef into the open sea, Moana gets her boat wrecked and her foot jammed in the corals and bruised. Washed back onto the shore, Moana is spotted by Gramma Tala]''
:'''Gramma Tala''': Whatever just happened, blame it on the pig.
:'''Moana''': Are you gonna tell dad?
:'''Gramma Tala''': I’m his mom, I don't have to tell him anything.
<hr width=60%>
:'''Moana''': It’s time for me to put my stone on the mountain.
:'''Gramma Tala''': Okay. Then, go back and put the stone there.
:'''Moana''': Why don't you try to talk me out of it?
:'''Gramma Tala''': You said that's what you want.
:'''Moana''': Certain.
:'''Gramma Tala''': When i die i will come back as one of them otherwise i chose the wrong tattoo.
:'''Moana''': ''[to Gramma Tala]'' ...Why are you acting weird?
:'''Gramma Tala''': I'm the village crazy lady. That's my job.
:'''Moana''': If there's something you want to tell me just tell me. Is there something you want to tell me?
:'''Gramma Tala''': Is there something you want to hear?
<hr width=60%>
Moana: We were voyagers I can voyage again.
[The Chief Is Not Happy, Moana Notices Him And Follows Him.]
Moana: You told me to help our people! This is how we can help our people! ''[Chief Tui grabs the torch]'' Dad? What are you doing?
Chief Tui: I should've burned those boats a long time ago.
Moana: No! Don't! We have to find Maui. We have to restore the heart!
Chief Tui: (Yelling): There is no heart. This? THIS IS JUST A ROCK!
:'''Moana''': Dad! No!
:''[Chief Tui throws Te Fiti's heart out, but Moana picks it up. Then he and Moana find Gramma Tala's cane.]
The Villager: ''[blowing a horn to call Chief Tui]'' Chief! It's your mother! ''[Chief Tui and Moana gasp and run back screaming to Tala's home where she is laid on her deathbed]''
:'''Chief Tui''': ''[shocked]'' Mother! ''[sighs and turns to the doctor]'' What can be done?
:'''The female doctor''': I don't know.
:'''Gramma Tala''': ''[weakly]'' Go.
:'''Moana''': ''[tears up]'' Gramma? ''[she leans closer to hear what Gramma Tala is saying]''
:'''Gramma Tala''': ''Go.''
:'''Moana''': Not now. I can't.
:'''Gramma Tala''': You must! The ocean chose you. Follow the fish hook...
:'''Moana''': Gramma.
:'''Gramma Tala''': ''[continues]'' And when you find Maui, you grab him by his ear. You say, "I am Moana of Motunui! You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Te Fiti!"
:'''Moana''': ''[tearing up more]'' I can't leave you.
:'''Gramma Tala''': There is nowhere you could go where I won't be with you. Go.
<hr width=60%>
:'''Maui''': Boat! ''[grabs Moana's boat]'' A boat! The Gods have given me a- ''[sees Moana, screams]''
:'''Moana''': ''[clears throat]'' Maui, shapeshifter, demigod of the wind and sea. I am Moana of–
:'''Maui''': Hero of men.
:'''Moana''': ''[confused]'' W-what?
:'''Maui''': It's actually "Maui, shapeshifter, demigod of the wind and sea, hero of men". I interrupted. From the top. "Hero of men." Go.
:'''Moana''': ''[beat]'' I am Moana of–
:'''Maui''': Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. "And women." "Men ''and'' women." Both. All. Not a "guy/girl" thing. You know, Maui is a hero to ''all''. You're doing great.
:'''Moana''': ''[pointing at Maui with her oar]'' What? No! I'm here to–
:'''Maui''': Oh! Of course! Of course! Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Maui always has time for his fans. ''[Maui takes Moana's oar, and pulls Heihei out of the sand. He uses Heihei's beak to sign the oar]'' When you use a bird to write with, it's called tweeting. ''[throws Heihei over his shoulder and hands the oar back to Moana]'' I know. Not every day you get a chance to meet your hero. ''[Moana whacks Maui in the gut with her oar. Maui doubles over, and Moana grabs him by the ear.]''
:'''Moana''': You are ''not'' my hero, and I'm not here so you can sign my oar! I'm here because you stole the heart of Te Fiti... and you will board my boat... sail across the sea and put it back!
:'''Maui''': Um... Yeah. That almost sounded like you don’t like me which is impossible because I got stuck here for a ''thousand'' years trying to get the heart as a ''gift'' for you mortals! So you can have the power to create life itself. Yeah. So, what I believe you are trying to say is thank you.
:'''Moana''': "Thank you"?
:'''Maui''': You’re welcome!
<hr width=60%>
:'''Maui''': ''[from trailer]'' Do you know who Maui is? Only the greatest demi-god of all the Pacific Islands! With his magic fish hook, he slowed down the sun! Pulled islands out of the sea! Battled monsters! And I should know... because I'm Maui. ''[to Mini Maui tattoo]'' Hey! Let me do this please.
<hr width=60%>
Moana: Teach me to sail!
Maui: (Screaming Franctically): Pitz!
:'''Moana''': My job is to deliver Maui across the great ocean. I should– ''[she nearly falls over, but catches herself] I'' should be sailing.
:'''Maui''': It's called "wayfinding", princess. It's not just sails and knots, it's seeing where you're going in your ''mind''. Knowing where you are by knowing where you've ''been''.
:'''Moana''': Okay, first, I'm not a princess. I'm the daughter of the chief.
:'''Maui''': Same difference.
:'''Moana''': No.
:'''Maui''': If you wear a dress and have an animal sidekick, you're a Princess. You are not a wayfinder. You will never be a wayfinder. You will never be a way... ''[the ocean sticks him with a blow dart and he collapses mid-sentence]'' Really? Blow dart to my butt cheek? You are a bad person.
:'''Moana''': If you can talk, you can teach. Wayfinding. Lesson one. Hit it.
:'''Maui''': ''[groans]'' Pull the sheet. ''[Moana reaches for a line.]'' Not the sheet.
<hr width=60%>
:''[Moana, covered in sparkling seashells, is snatched up by Tamatoa]''
:'''Tamatoa''': Oohoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. What have we here? It's a sparkly, shiny... Wait a minute. ''[tosses Moana into the air, making her lose the seashells covering her]'' Ugh...It's a human! What're you doing down here in the Realm of the Mons–? ''[Tamatoa's eyes are twitching, causing Moana to look back and forth between them]'' Just pick an eye, babe. I can't...I can't concentrate on what I'm saying if you keep- Yeah, pick one. ''Pick one!'' You're a funny looking little thing, aren't you?
:'''Moana''': Don't! That's my grandma's!
:'''Tamatoa''': That's your grandma's? I ate my grandma! And it took a week 'cause she was absolutely humongous. Why are you here?
:'''Moana''': 'Cause you're amazing! And we mortals have heard of a tale of the crab, who became a legend! And I had to know... How you being so craboulous?
:'''Tamatoa''': Are you just trying to get me to talk about myself? Because if you are... I will gladly do so! In song form!
<hr width=60%>
:''[Tamatoa was about to eat Moana]''
:'''Moana''': No!
:'''Maui''': Hey, crab cake! I'm back! It’s Maui time! ''[Tamatoa gasps and drops Moana on the ground]''
<hr width=60%>
:''[While Moana and Maui first encounter Te Kā]''
:'''Maui''': Wh-what are you doing?!
:'''Moana''': Finding you a better way.
:'''Maui''': ''[looks at the way through is blocked; worried]'' We won't make it!
:'''Moana''': Yes, we will!
:'''Maui''': Turn around!
:'''Moana''': NO!
:'''Maui''': Moana, stop!
:'''Moana''': NO!
:''[Then Te Kā hits Maui's hook, sending him and Moana flying far away. Moana looks at Heihei who is okay. Then at Maui who is sadly looking down at the ocean.]''
:'''Moana''': Are you okay? ''[Maui doesn't respond]'' Maui?
:''[Maui turns around and shows Moana his cracked hook]''
:'''Maui''': ''[glowering at his cracked hook; upset]'' I told you to turn back.
:'''Moana''': I thought we could make it.
:'''Maui''': "''We''"?
:'''Moana''': I thought... ''I'' could make it. We can fix it.
:'''Maui''': It was made by the gods. You can't ''fix'' it!
:'''Moana''': Next time, we'll be more careful. Te Kā was stuck on the barrier islands. It's lava. It can't go in the water. We can find another way around.
:'''Maui''': I'm not going back.
:'''Moana''': What? We still have to restore the heart.
:'''Maui''': My hook is cracked. One more hit, and it's over.
:'''Moana''': Maui, you have to restore the heart!
:'''Maui''': Without my hook, I am nothing.
:'''Moana''': That's '''''NOT''''' true.
Maui: (Yelling): WITHOUT MY HOOK, I AM NOTHING!!!
:''[Moana is frightened from Maui's angry outburst. He drops the heart of Te Fiti on the boat, but Moana picks it up]''
:'''Moana''': We're only here because ''you'' stole the heart in the first place!
:'''Maui''': ''[briefly looks down in guiltily]'' No, we're here because the ocean told you you’re special and you believed it.
:'''Moana''': I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat...
:'''Maui''': Goodbye, Moana.
:'''Moana''': ''[voice cracked]'' Sail across the sea...
:'''Maui''': (screaming angrily): I'm not killin' myself, so you can prove you’re something you're not!
:'''Moana''': '''And restore the heart of Te Fiti! The ocean chose ''me!'''''
:'''Maui''': It chose wrong. ''[Maui tries to transform, but his hook crackles and shocks him]'' Ugh! Stupid hook. ''[He transforms himself into a hawk and flies away]''
:'''Moana''': Maui! ''[Maui ignores her. She looks down in despair. A few moments later, the ocean rises up to look at her.]'' Why did you bring me here? ''[beat]'' I'm not the right person. ''[holds out the heart of Te Fiti to the ocean]'' You have to choose someone else. ''[heartbroken]'' ''Choose someone else!'' Please...
:''[The Ocean takes the heart of Te Fiti into the bottom of the sea and Moana begins to cry. And as Moana was crying, Te Ka destroyed all of Moana’s world]''

==Moana==
*We were voyagers... (realized) We were voyagers... (running in the hill) '''''WE WERE VOYAGERS, WE WERE VOYAGERS, WE WERE VOYAGERS!''''' (running back to her Gramma) why did we stop?
*[Yelling at the Ocean] WHAT?! I SAID HELP ME! AND WREAKING MY BOAT?! NOT HELPING! [she kicks, but the Ocean recedes, causing her to fall on her back] Fish pee in you ALL DAY! So... (Growls)
*I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Te Fiti. The Ocean Chose Me.
*You are not my hero, and I’m not here, so you could sign my oar!
==Maui==
* ''[from trailer]'' D'you know who Maui is? Only the greatest demi-god in the Pacific Islands! With his magic fish-hook, he slowed down the sun! Pulled islands from the sea! Battled monsters! And I should know. Because I'm Maui. ''[improvises a haka; Moana and Pua watch in silence.]'' Nothin"? Really? What's a demigod gotta do?
* ''[offscreen]'' I am still falling!
* If you start singing, I'm gonna throw up.
* ''[holding HeiHei by the neck]'' Boatsnack!
* You're welcome!
* ''[to Mini-Maui]'' No mortal's gonna jump into the Realm of-- ''[Moana lands on him, bounces off of him and tumbles down a cliff]'' Well, she's dead.
Maui: PITZ!
==Dialogue==
Chief Tui: No One Goes Beyond The Reef. Moana, We Have One Rule, A Rule That Keeps Us Safe. Instead Of Danger Our People, So, You Can Run Back Right To The Water. If I Think You’re Past This…! NO ONE GOES BEYOND THE REEF!
<hr width=60%>
:''[While trying to sail beyond the reef into the open sea, Moana gets her boat wrecked and her foot jammed in the corals and bruised. Washed back onto the shore, Moana is spotted by Gramma Tala]''
:'''Gramma Tala''': Whatever just happened, blame it on the pig.
:'''Moana''': Are you gonna tell dad?
:'''Gramma Tala''': I’m his mom, I don't have to tell him anything.
<hr width=60%>
:'''Moana''': It’s time for me to put my stone on the mountain.
:'''Gramma Tala''': Okay. Then, go back and put the stone there.
:'''Moana''': Why don't you try to talk me out of it?
:'''Gramma Tala''': You said that's what you want.
:'''Moana''': Certain.
:'''Gramma Tala''': When i die i will come back as one of them otherwise i chose the wrong tattoo.
:'''Moana''': ''[to Gramma Tala]'' ...Why are you acting weird?
:'''Gramma Tala''': I'm the village crazy lady. That's my job.
:'''Moana''': If there's something you want to tell me just tell me. Is there something you want to tell me?
:'''Gramma Tala''': Is there something you want to hear?
<hr width=60%>
Moana: We were voyagers I can voyage again.
[The Chief Is Not Happy, Moana Notices Him And Follows Him.]
Moana: You told me to help our people! This is how we can help our people! ''[Chief Tui grabs the torch]'' Dad? What are you doing?
Chief Tui: I should've burned those boats a long time ago.
Moana: No! Don't! We have to find Maui. We have to restore the heart!
Chief Tui: (Yelling): There is no heart. This? THIS IS JUST A ROCK!
:'''Moana''': Dad! No!
:''[Chief Tui throws Te Fiti's heart out, but Moana picks it up. Then he and Moana find Gramma Tala's cane.]
The Villager: ''[blowing a horn to call Chief Tui]'' Chief! It's your mother! ''[Chief Tui and Moana gasp and run back screaming to Tala's home where she is laid on her deathbed]''
:'''Chief Tui''': ''[shocked]'' Mother! ''[sighs and turns to the doctor]'' What can be done?
:'''The female doctor''': I don't know.
:'''Gramma Tala''': ''[weakly]'' Go.
:'''Moana''': ''[tears up]'' Gramma? ''[she leans closer to hear what Gramma Tala is saying]''
:'''Gramma Tala''': ''Go.''
:'''Moana''': Not now. I can't.
:'''Gramma Tala''': You must! The ocean chose you. Follow the fish hook...
:'''Moana''': Gramma.
:'''Gramma Tala''': ''[continues]'' And when you find Maui, you grab him by his ear. You say, "I am Moana of Motunui! You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Te Fiti!"
:'''Moana''': ''[tearing up more]'' I can't leave you.
:'''Gramma Tala''': There is nowhere you could go where I won't be with you. Go.
<hr width=60%>
:'''Maui''': Boat! ''[grabs Moana's boat]'' A boat! The Gods have given me a- ''[sees Moana, screams]''
:'''Moana''': ''[clears throat]'' Maui, shapeshifter, demigod of the wind and sea. I am Moana of–
:'''Maui''': Hero of men.
:'''Moana''': ''[confused]'' W-what?
:'''Maui''': It's actually "Maui, shapeshifter, demigod of the wind and sea, hero of men". I interrupted. From the top. "Hero of men." Go.
:'''Moana''': ''[beat]'' I am Moana of–
:'''Maui''': Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. "And women." "Men ''and'' women." Both. All. Not a "guy/girl" thing. You know, Maui is a hero to ''all''. You're doing great.
:'''Moana''': ''[pointing at Maui with her oar]'' What? No! I'm here to–
:'''Maui''': Oh! Of course! Of course! Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Maui always has time for his fans. ''[Maui takes Moana's oar, and pulls Heihei out of the sand. He uses Heihei's beak to sign the oar]'' When you use a bird to write with, it's called tweeting. ''[throws Heihei over his shoulder and hands the oar back to Moana]'' I know. Not every day you get a chance to meet your hero. ''[Moana whacks Maui in the gut with her oar. Maui doubles over, and Moana grabs him by the ear.]''
:'''Moana''': You are ''not'' my hero, and I'm not here so you can sign my oar! I'm here because you stole the heart of Te Fiti... and you will board my boat... sail across the sea and put it back!
:'''Maui''': Um... Yeah. That almost sounded like you don’t like me which is impossible because I got stuck here for a ''thousand'' years trying to get the heart as a ''gift'' for you mortals! So you can have the power to create life itself. Yeah. So, what I believe you are trying to say is thank you.
:'''Moana''': "Thank you"?
:'''Maui''': You’re welcome!
<hr width=60%>
:'''Maui''': ''[from trailer]'' Do you know who Maui is? Only the greatest demi-god of all the Pacific Islands! With his magic fish hook, he slowed down the sun! Pulled islands out of the sea! Battled monsters! And I should know... because I'm Maui. ''[to Mini Maui tattoo]'' Hey! Let me do this please.
<hr width=60%>
Moana: Teach me to sail!
Maui: (Screaming Franctically): Pitz!
:'''Moana''': My job is to deliver Maui across the great ocean. I should– ''[she nearly falls over, but catches herself] I'' should be sailing.
:'''Maui''': It's called "wayfinding", princess. It's not just sails and knots, it's seeing where you're going in your ''mind''. Knowing where you are by knowing where you've ''been''.
:'''Moana''': Okay, first, I'm not a princess. I'm the daughter of the chief.
:'''Maui''': Same difference.
:'''Moana''': No.
:'''Maui''': If you wear a dress and have an animal sidekick, you're a Princess. You are not a wayfinder. You will never be a wayfinder. You will never be a way... ''[the ocean sticks him with a blow dart and he collapses mid-sentence]'' Really? Blow dart to my butt cheek? You are a bad person.
:'''Moana''': If you can talk, you can teach. Wayfinding. Lesson one. Hit it.
:'''Maui''': ''[groans]'' Pull the sheet. ''[Moana reaches for a line.]'' Not the sheet.
<hr width=60%>
:''[Moana, covered in sparkling seashells, is snatched up by Tamatoa]''
:'''Tamatoa''': Oohoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. What have we here? It's a sparkly, shiny... Wait a minute. ''[tosses Moana into the air, making her lose the seashells covering her]'' Ugh...It's a human! What're you doing down here in the Realm of the Mons–? ''[Tamatoa's eyes are twitching, causing Moana to look back and forth between them]'' Just pick an eye, babe. I can't...I can't concentrate on what I'm saying if you keep- Yeah, pick one. ''Pick one!'' You're a funny looking little thing, aren't you?
:'''Moana''': Don't! That's my grandma's!
:'''Tamatoa''': That's your grandma's? I ate my grandma! And it took a week 'cause she was absolutely humongous. Why are you here?
:'''Moana''': 'Cause you're amazing! And we mortals have heard of a tale of the crab, who became a legend! And I had to know... How you being so craboulous?
:'''Tamatoa''': Are you just trying to get me to talk about myself? Because if you are... I will gladly do so! In song form!
<hr width=60%>
:''[Tamatoa was about to eat Moana]''
:'''Moana''': No!
:'''Maui''': Hey, crab cake! I'm back! It’s Maui time! ''[Tamatoa gasps and drops Moana on the ground]''
<hr width=60%>
:''[While Moana and Maui first encounter Te Kā]''
:'''Maui''': Wh-what are you doing?!
:'''Moana''': Finding you a better way.
:'''Maui''': ''[looks at the way through is blocked; worried]'' We won't make it!
:'''Moana''': Yes, we will!
:'''Maui''': Turn around!
:'''Moana''': NO!
:'''Maui''': Moana, stop!
:'''Moana''': NO!
:''[Then Te Kā hits Maui's hook, sending him and Moana flying far away. Moana looks at Heihei who is okay. Then at Maui who is sadly looking down at the ocean.]''
:'''Moana''': Are you okay? ''[Maui doesn't respond]'' Maui?
:''[Maui turns around and shows Moana his cracked hook]''
:'''Maui''': ''[glowering at his cracked hook; upset]'' I told you to turn back.
:'''Moana''': I thought we could make it.
:'''Maui''': "''We''"?
:'''Moana''': I thought... ''I'' could make it. We can fix it.
:'''Maui''': It was made by the gods. You can't ''fix'' it!
:'''Moana''': Next time, we'll be more careful. Te Kā was stuck on the barrier islands. It's lava. It can't go in the water. We can find another way around.
:'''Maui''': I'm not going back.
:'''Moana''': What? We still have to restore the heart.
:'''Maui''': My hook is cracked. One more hit, and it's over.
:'''Moana''': Maui, you have to restore the heart!
:'''Maui''': Without my hook, I am nothing.
:'''Moana''': That's '''''NOT''''' true.
Maui: (Yelling): WITHOUT MY HOOK, I AM NOTHING!!!
:''[Moana is frightened from Maui's angry outburst. He drops the heart of Te Fiti on the boat, but Moana picks it up]''
:'''Moana''': We're only here because ''you'' stole the heart in the first place!
:'''Maui''': ''[briefly looks down in guiltily]'' No, we're here because the ocean told you you’re special and you believed it.
:'''Moana''': I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat...
:'''Maui''': Goodbye, Moana.
:'''Moana''': ''[voice cracked]'' Sail across the sea...
:'''Maui''': (screaming angrily): I'm not killin' myself, so you can prove you’re something you're not!
:'''Moana''': '''And restore the heart of Te Fiti! The ocean chose ''me!'''''
:'''Maui''': It chose wrong. ''[Maui tries to transform, but his hook crackles and shocks him]'' Ugh! Stupid hook. ''[He transforms himself into a hawk and flies away]''
:'''Moana''': Maui! ''[Maui ignores her. She looks down in despair. A few moments later, the ocean rises up to look at her.]'' Why did you bring me here? ''[beat]'' I'm not the right person. ''[holds out the heart of Te Fiti to the ocean]'' You have to choose someone else. ''[heartbroken]'' ''Choose someone else!'' Please...
:''[The Ocean takes the heart of Te Fiti into the bottom of the sea and Moana begins to cry. And as Moana was crying, Te Ka destroyed all of Moana’s world]''

[[File:Faerie Queene Title Page.jpg|thumb|So dark are earthly things compared to things divine.]]
'''''[[w:The Faerie Queene|The Faerie Queene]]''''' is an incomplete English [[w:Epic poetry|epic poem]] by [[Edmund Spenser]]. Books I to III were first published in 1590, and then republished, with alterations, together with books IV to VI, in 1596. The Mutability cantos, which appear to be part of a fragmentary Book VII, were first published in 1609.
== Quotations ==
[[File:The Faerie Queene frontispiece.jpg|thumb|The general end of all the book is to fashion a gentleman or noble person in virtuous and gentle discipline.]]
:<small>'''Note on the text''': Quotations are presented in both the orthography of the original editions (to preserve Spenser's archaism and the poem's antique flavor) and in modern spelling and punctuation (to make them more readily comprehensible).<!-- Modernizing Spenser's spelling is common practice in authoritative quotation anthologies, such as ''The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations''. -->The modernized text and the occasional explanatory notes are based mainly on <!--G. L. Craik's ''Spenser and his Poetry'' (1845) and D. Laing -->Purves' edition<!-- of ''The Faerie Queene'' (1874)--> (see Bibliography).<!-- In the opinion of Craik, "The reproduction of the poetry of Spenser in that antiquated spelling is really for the greater part as unnecessary and absurd as would be such a reproduction of Shakespeare or of the Bible. It has not in the generality of instances any advantage even for critical purposes. To preserve this old spelling is in nine cases out of ten merely to perpetuate the blunders or caprices of the printer" (''Spenser and his Poetry'', Vol. I, p. 41). The editors of the Penguin Classics edition (1978), Thomas Roche and C. Patrick O'Donnell, however, believed that the poem's old orthography and punctuation are "integral" to its meaning. Thus, the spelling of the original editions is also presented for the reader's consideration.--> Quotations in '''bold''' are those most widely and frequently quoted.</small>

[[File:John Dryden portrait.jpg|thumb|"There is no uniformity in the design of Spenser: he aims at the accomplishment of no one action. Had he lived to finish his poem in the six remaining legends, it had certainly been more of a piece; but could not have been perfect, because the model was not true."—[[John Dryden]]. 1693.]]
* There is no uniformity in the design of Spenser: he aims at the accomplishment of no one action; he raises up a hero for every one of his adventures, and endows each of them with some particular moral virtue, which renders them all equal, without subordination or preference. Every one is valiant in his own legend; only we must do him the justice to observe, that magnanimity, which is the character of Prince Arthur, shines throughout the whole poem, and succours the rest when they are in distress. The original of every knight was then living in the court of [[Elizabeth I|Queen Elizabeth]]; and he attributed to each of them that virtue which he thought was most conspicuous in them; an ingenious piece of flattery, though it turned not much to his account. Had he lived to finish his poem in the six remaining legends, it had certainly been more of a piece; but could not have been perfect, because the model was not true. But Prince Arthur, or his chief patron, [[Sir Philip Sidney]], whom he intended to make happy by the marriage of his Gloriana, dying before him, deprived the poet both of means and spirit to accomplish his design. For the rest, his obsolete language, and ill choice of his stanza, are faults both of the second magnitude; for notwithstanding the first, he is still intelligible, at least after a little practice, and for the last he is more to be admired, that labouring under such a difficulty, his verses are so numerous, so various, and so harmonious, that only [[Virgil]], whom he has professedly imitated, has surpassed him among the Romans, and only [[Edmund Waller|Mr. Waller]] among the English.
** [[John Dryden]], ''The Satires'' (1693), Dedication, p. viii
** Compare [[w:Edmond Malone|Edmond Malone]]'s commentary: "Sir Philip Sydney, we know, died October 16, 1586; but so far is it from being true that his death deprived Spencer of ''spirit'' to complete his work, that it is almost certain much the greater part of it was written between that year and 1595; and it is equally untrue, that on the loss of that patron, he was deprived of those ''means'' which would have rendered him independent, and enabled him to devote his hours to literary pursuits [...]. The language of ''The Fairy Queen'' was the poetical language of the age in which [Spenser] lived; and, however obsolete it might appear to Dryden, was, I conceive, perfectly intelligible to every reader of poetry in the time of Queen Elizabeth, though ''[[w:The Shepheardes Calender|The Shepherd's Calender]]'' was not even then understood without a commentary" (''The Critical and Miscellaneous Prose Works of John Dryden'', ed. Edmond Malone, Vol. III [1800], footnotes on pp. 93–94).

** Compare [[Alexander Pope]]'s commentary on these lines: "The character [Addison] gives of Spenser is false [...] and I have heard him say that he never read Spenser till fifteen years after he wrote it" (as reported in [[w:Joseph Spence (author)|Joseph Spence]]'s ''Observations, Anecdotes, and Characters, of Books and Men'' [1820], 1728–1730, p. 150).

* Though the ''Faerie Queene'' does not exhibit that economy of plan and exact arrangement of parts which epic severity requires, yet we scarcely regret the loss of these while their place is so amply supplied by something which more powerfully attracts us, as it engages the affection of the heart, rather than the applause of the head; and if there be any poem whose graces please, because they are situated beyond the reach of art, and where the faculties of creative imagination delight us, because they are unassisted and unrestrained by those of deliberate judgment, it is in this of which we are now speaking. To sum up all in a few words; though in the ''Faerie Queene'' we are not satisfied as critics, yet we are transported as readers.

* In every poem there ought to be simplicity and unity; and in the epic poem the unity of the action should never be violated by introducing any ill-joined or heterogeneous parts. This essential rule Spenser seems to me strictly to have followed; for what story can well be shorter or more simple than the subject of this poem? A British prince sees in a vision the Fairy Queen, and he falls in love, and goes in search after this unknown fair; and at length finds her. This fable has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning is, the British prince saw in a vision the Fairy Queen, and fell in love with her; the middle, his search after her, with the adventures that he underwent; the end, his finding whom he sought.

* Spenser, and the same may be said of [[Ariosto]], did not live in an age of planning. His poetry is the careless exuberance of a warm imagination and a strong sensibility.

* It is scarcely possible to accompany Spenser's allegorical heroes to the end of their excursions. They want flesh and blood—a want for which nothing can compensate.

* I have finished the 'Faerie Queene.' I never parted from a long poem with so much regret. He is a poet of a most musical ear—of a tender heart—of a peculiarly soft, rich, fertile, and flowery fancy. His verse always flows, with ease and nature, most abundantly and sweetly; his diffusion is not only pardonable, but agreeable. Grandeur and energy are not his characteristic qualities. He seems to me a most genuine poet, and to be justly placed after [[William Shakespeare|Shakspeare]] and [[John Milton|Milton]], and above all other English poets.
** [[James Mackintosh]], diary (6 April 1812), in ''Memoirs'', ed. Robert James Mackintosh, Vol. II (London: Edward Moxon, 1835), p. 238
* Spenser's poetry is all fairy-land. [...] The poet takes and lays us in the lap of a lovelier nature, by the sound of softer streams, among greener hills and fairer valleys. He paints nature not as we find it, but as we expected to find it, and fulfils the delightful promise of our youth. He waves his wand of enchantment, and at once embodies airy beings, and throws a delicious veil over all actual objects. The two worlds of reality and of fiction are poised on the wings of his imagination.

* Some people will say [...] that they cannot understand [the ''Faery Queen''] on account of the [[allegory]]. They are afraid of the allegory, as if they thought it would bite them: they look at it as a child looks at a painted dragon, and think it will strangle them in its shining folds. This is very idle. If they do not meddle with the allegory, the allegory will not meddle with them. Without minding it at all, the whole is as plain as a pikestaff.
** [[William Hazlitt]], ''Lectures on the English Poets'' (1818), p. 74
* You will take especial note of the marvellous independence and true imaginative absence of all particular space or time in the "Faery Queene." It is in the domains neither of history or geography; it is ignorant of all artificial boundary, all material obstacles; it is truly in land of Faery, that is, of mental space. The poet has placed you in a dream, a charmed sleep, and you neither wish, nor have the power, to inquire where you are, or how you got there.

* Even Spenser himself, though assuredly one of the greatest poets that ever lived, could not succeed in the attempt to make allegory interesting. It was in vain that he lavished the riches of his mind on the House of Pride and the House of Temperance. One unpardonable fault, the fault of tediousness, pervades the whole of the ''Fairy Queen''. We become sick of cardinal virtues and deadly sins, and long for the society of plain men and women. Of the persons who read the first Canto, not one in ten reaches the end of the First Book, and not one in a hundred perseveres to the end of the poem. Very few and very weary are those who are in at the death of the Blatant Beast. If the last six books, which are said to have been destroyed in Ireland, had been preserved, we doubt whether any heart less stout than that of a commentator would have held out to the end.

* The things we read about in [''The Faerie Queene''] are not like life, but the experience of reading it is like living. The clashing antitheses which meet and resolve themselves into higher unities, the lights streaming out from the great allegorical ''foci'' to turn into a hundred different colours as they reach the lower levels of complex adventure, the adventures gathering themselves together and revealing their true nature as we draw near the ''foci'', the constant re-appearance of certain basic ideas, which transform themselves without end and yet ever remain the same (eterne in mutability), the unwearied variety and seamless continuity of the whole—all this is Spenser's true likeness to life.

* From the time of its publication down to about 1914 it was everyone's poem—the book in which many and many a boy first discovered that he liked poetry; a book which spoke at once, like [[Homer]] or [[Shakespeare]] or [[Dickens]], to every reader's imagination. Spenser did not rank as a hard poet like [[Pindar]], [[Donne]], or [[Robert Browning|Browning]]. How we have lost that approach I do not know. And unfortunately ''The Faerie Queene'' suffers even more than most great works from being approached through the medium of commentaries and "literary history." These all demand from us a sophisticated, self-conscious frame of mind. But then, when we have used all these aids, we discover that the poem itself demands exactly the opposite response. Its primary appeal is to the most naïve and innocent tastes: to that level of our consciousness which is divided only by the thinnest veil from the immemorial lights and glooms of the collective Unconscious itself. It demands of us a child's love of marvels and dread of bogies, a boy's thirst for adventures, a young man's passion for physical beauty. If you have lost or cannot re-arouse these attitudes, all the commentaries, all your scholarship about "the Renaissance" or "Platonism" or [[Elizabeth I|Elizabeth]]'s Irish policy, will not avail. The poem is a great palace, but the door into it is so low that you must stoop to go in. No prig can be a Spenserian. It is of course much more than a fairy-tale, but unless we can enjoy it as a fairy-tale first of all, we shall not really care for it.

* Adverse criticism of the stories in ''The Faerie Queene'' is usually based on a false expectation. Both the complaints against "faceless knights" and those against "characters with no insides" come alike from readers who are looking for a novelistic-like interest. But it is quite wrong to approach the poem with this demand; for Spenser never meant to supply it. Occasionally, of course, he makes a very brief approach to the kind of fiction now valued in the novel. [...] We should never concentrate, however, on passages such as these. It is always a great mistake to value a work of one kind for its occasional slight approximations to some other kind which happens to be preferred. If we can't learn to like a work of art for what it is, we had best give it up. There is no point in trying to twist it or force it into a form it was never meant to have. And certainly to read ''The Faerie Queene'' as a novel is perverse and unrewarding enough. It is like going to a [[Mozart]] opera just for the spoken bits.

* There has been and continue to be controversy about the nature and status of to be sex in ''The Faerie Queene''. Most criticism assumes that what Spenser says is what he means. But a poet may not always be master of his own poem, for imagination can overwhelms moral intention. Some of the poetically strongest and most fully realized material in ''The Faerie Queene'' is pornographic. Like [[William Blake|Blake]]'s [[John Milton|Milton]], Spenser may be one of the devil's party without knowing it. In a paradox cherished by [[Marquis de Sade|Sade]] and [[Charles Baudelaire|Baudelaire]], the presence of moral sexual law and taboo intensifies the luxury of evil. A great poet always has profound ambivalences and obscurities whose motivation criticism has scarcely begun to study in this case. ''The Faerie Queene'' is didactic but also self-pleasuring. Not despite the complexity of erotic response, Spenser was a sexual psychologist of the first rank, surpassed only by [[Sigmund Freud|Freud]] and [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]. His treatment of erotic archetype, and perversion, dream, civilization, fantasy, obsession, and sacrifice lifts ''The Faerie Queene'' out of national into world literature.

[[File:Faerie Queene Title Page.jpg|thumb|So dark are earthly things compared to things divine.]]
'''''[[w:The Faerie Queene|The Faerie Queene]]''''' is an incomplete English [[w:Epic poetry|epic poem]] by [[Edmund Spenser]]. Books I to III were first published in 1590, and then republished, with alterations, together with books IV to VI, in 1596. The Mutability cantos, which appear to be part of a fragmentary Book VII, were first published in 1609.

Similarly, A. C.

Had he lived to finish his poem in the six remaining legends, it had certainly been more of a piece; but could not have been perfect, because the model was not true."—[[John Dryden]]. 1693.]]
* There is no uniformity in the design of Spenser: he aims at the accomplishment of no one action; he raises up a hero for every one of his adventures, and endows each of them with some particular moral virtue, which renders them all equal, without subordination or preference. Every one is valiant in his own legend; only we must do him the justice to observe, that magnanimity, which is the character of Prince Arthur, shines throughout the whole poem, and succours the rest when they are in distress. The original of every knight was then living in the court of [[Elizabeth I|Queen Elizabeth]]; and he attributed to each of them that virtue which he thought was most conspicuous in them; an ingenious piece of flattery, though it turned not much to his account. Had he lived to finish his poem in the six remaining legends, it had certainly been more of a piece; but could not have been perfect, because the model was not true. But Prince Arthur, or his chief patron, [[Sir Philip Sidney]], whom he intended to make happy by the marriage of his Gloriana, dying before him, deprived the poet both of means and spirit to accomplish his design. For the rest, his obsolete language, and ill choice of his stanza, are faults both of the second magnitude; for notwithstanding the first, he is still intelligible, at least after a little practice, and for the last he is more to be admired, that labouring under such a difficulty, his verses are so numerous, so various, and so harmonious, that only [[Virgil]], whom he has professedly imitated, has surpassed him among the Romans, and only [[Edmund Waller|Mr. Waller]] among the English.
** [[John Dryden]], ''The Satires'' (1693), Dedication, p. viii
** Compare [[w:Edmond Malone|Edmond Malone]]'s commentary: "Sir Philip Sydney, we know, died October 16, 1586; but so far is it from being true that his death deprived Spencer of ''spirit'' to complete his work, that it is almost certain much the greater part of it was written between that year and 1595; and it is equally untrue, that on the loss of that patron, he was deprived of those ''means'' which would have rendered him independent, and enabled him to devote his hours to literary pursuits [...]. The language of ''The Fairy Queen'' was the poetical language of the age in which [Spenser] lived; and, however obsolete it might appear to Dryden, was, I conceive, perfectly intelligible to every reader of poetry in the time of Queen Elizabeth, though ''[[w:The Shepheardes Calender|The Shepherd's Calender]]'' was not even then understood without a commentary" (''The Critical and Miscellaneous Prose Works of John Dryden'', ed. Edmond Malone, Vol. III [1800], footnotes on pp. 93–94). Malone's latter statement is quoted approvingly by [[w:Nathan Drake (essayist)|Nathan Drake]] (in ''Shakspeare'' [sic] ''and His Times'' [1838], p. 314), but disapprovingly by [[w:Thomas Lounsbury|Thomas R.

* Though the ''Faerie Queene'' does not exhibit that economy of plan and exact arrangement of parts which epic severity requires, yet we scarcely regret the loss of these while their place is so amply supplied by something which more powerfully attracts us, as it engages the affection of the heart, rather than the applause of the head; and if there be any poem whose graces please, because they are situated beyond the reach of art, and where the faculties of creative imagination delight us, because they are unassisted and unrestrained by those of deliberate judgment, it is in this of which we are now speaking. To sum up all in a few words; though in the ''Faerie Queene'' we are not satisfied as critics, yet we are transported as readers.

* In every poem there ought to be simplicity and unity; and in the epic poem the unity of the action should never be violated by introducing any ill-joined or heterogeneous parts. This essential rule Spenser seems to me strictly to have followed; for what story can well be shorter or more simple than the subject of this poem? A British prince sees in a vision the Fairy Queen, and he falls in love, and goes in search after this unknown fair; and at length finds her. This fable has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning is, the British prince saw in a vision the Fairy Queen, and fell in love with her; the middle, his search after her, with the adventures that he underwent; the end, his finding whom he sought.

* Spenser, and the same may be said of [[Ariosto]], did not live in an age of planning. His poetry is the careless exuberance of a warm imagination and a strong sensibility. It was his business [in his ''Faerie Queen''] to engage the fancy, and to interest the attention by bold and striking images, in the formation and the disposition of which little labour or art was applied.

* It is scarcely possible to accompany Spenser's allegorical heroes to the end of their excursions. They want flesh and blood—a want for which nothing can compensate. The personification of abstract ideas furnishes the most brilliant images of poetry; but these meteor forms, which startle and delight us when our senses are flurried by passion, must not be submitted to our cool and deliberate examination.

* I have finished the 'Faerie Queene.' I never parted from a long poem with so much regret. He is a poet of a most musical ear—of a tender heart—of a peculiarly soft, rich, fertile, and flowery fancy. His verse always flows, with ease and nature, most abundantly and sweetly; his diffusion is not only pardonable, but agreeable. Grandeur and energy are not his characteristic qualities. He seems to me a most genuine poet, and to be justly placed after [[William Shakespeare|Shakspeare]] and [[John Milton|Milton]], and above all other English poets.
** [[James Mackintosh]], diary (6 April 1812), in ''Memoirs'', ed. Robert James Mackintosh, Vol. II (London: Edward Moxon, 1835), p. 238
* Spenser's poetry is all fairy-land. [...] The poet takes and lays us in the lap of a lovelier nature, by the sound of softer streams, among greener hills and fairer valleys. He paints nature not as we find it, but as we expected to find it, and fulfils the delightful promise of our youth. He waves his wand of enchantment, and at once embodies airy beings, and throws a delicious veil over all actual objects. The two worlds of reality and of fiction are poised on the wings of his imagination.

* Some people will say [...] that they cannot understand [the ''Faery Queen''] on account of the [[allegory]]. They are afraid of the allegory, as if they thought it would bite them: they look at it as a child looks at a painted dragon, and think it will strangle them in its shining folds. This is very idle. If they do not meddle with the allegory, the allegory will not meddle with them. Without minding it at all, the whole is as plain as a pikestaff.
** [[William Hazlitt]], ''Lectures on the English Poets'' (1818), p. 74
* You will take especial note of the marvellous independence and true imaginative absence of all particular space or time in the "Faery Queene." It is in the domains neither of history or geography; it is ignorant of all artificial boundary, all material obstacles; it is truly in land of Faery, that is, of mental space. The poet has placed you in a dream, a charmed sleep, and you neither wish, nor have the power, to inquire where you are, or how you got there.

* Even Spenser himself, though assuredly one of the greatest poets that ever lived, could not succeed in the attempt to make allegory interesting. It was in vain that he lavished the riches of his mind on the House of Pride and the House of Temperance. One unpardonable fault, the fault of tediousness, pervades the whole of the ''Fairy Queen''. We become sick of cardinal virtues and deadly sins, and long for the society of plain men and women.

* From the time of its publication down to about 1914 it was everyone's poem—the book in which many and many a boy first discovered that he liked poetry; a book which spoke at once, like [[Homer]] or [[Shakespeare]] or [[Dickens]], to every reader's imagination. Spenser did not rank as a hard poet like [[Pindar]], [[Donne]], or [[Robert Browning|Browning]]. How we have lost that approach I do not know. And unfortunately ''The Faerie Queene'' suffers even more than most great works from being approached through the medium of commentaries and "literary history." These all demand from us a sophisticated, self-conscious frame of mind. But then, when we have used all these aids, we discover that the poem itself demands exactly the opposite response. Its primary appeal is to the most naïve and innocent tastes: to that level of our consciousness which is divided only by the thinnest veil from the immemorial lights and glooms of the collective Unconscious itself. It demands of us a child's love of marvels and dread of bogies, a boy's thirst for adventures, a young man's passion for physical beauty. If you have lost or cannot re-arouse these attitudes, all the commentaries, all your scholarship about "the Renaissance" or "Platonism" or [[Elizabeth I|Elizabeth]]'s Irish policy, will not avail. The poem is a great palace, but the door into it is so low that you must stoop to go in. No prig can be a Spenserian. It is of course much more than a fairy-tale, but unless we can enjoy it as a fairy-tale first of all, we shall not really care for it.

* ''The Faerie Queene'' is perhaps the most difficult poem in English. Quite how difficult, I am only now beginning to realize after forty years of reading it.
** [[C. S. Lewis]], ''Spenser's Images of Life'' (1967), ed. Alastair Fowler, Introduction
* Adverse criticism of the stories in ''The Faerie Queene'' is usually based on a false expectation. Both the complaints against "faceless knights" and those against "characters with no insides" come alike from readers who are looking for a novelistic-like interest. But it is quite wrong to approach the poem with this demand; for Spenser never meant to supply it. Occasionally, of course, he makes a very brief approach to the kind of fiction now valued in the novel. [...] We should never concentrate, however, on passages such as these. It is always a great mistake to value a work of one kind for its occasional slight approximations to some other kind which happens to be preferred. If we can't learn to like a work of art for what it is, we had best give it up. There is no point in trying to twist it or force it into a form it was never meant to have. And certainly to read ''The Faerie Queene'' as a novel is perverse and unrewarding enough. It is like going to a [[Mozart]] opera just for the spoken bits.
** [[C. S. Lewis]], ''Spenser's Images of Life'' (1967), ch. 8, p. 113; as quoted in ''The Quotable Lewis'', ed. Jerry Root and Wayne Martindale (Wheaton, Illinois: Tyndale House, 2012), p. 565
* ''The Faerie Queene'' never loses a reader it has once gained. [...] Once you have become an inhabitant of its world, being tired of it is like being tired of London, or of life.
** [[C. S. Lewis]], ''Spenser's Images of Life'' (1967), ch. X.2, para. 8, p. 140; quoted in ''The Quotable Lewis'', ed. Jerry Root and Wayne Martindale (Wheaton, Illinois: Tyndale House, 2012), p. 566
* ''The Faerie Queene'' is not meant to be understood but to be possessed.
** Albert Charles Hamilton, 'The Faerie Queene', in ''Critical Approaches to Six Major English Works'', ed. R. M. Lumiansky and Herschel Baker (Philadelphia, PA, 1968), 132–166, 161; as quoted in Hazel Wilkinson's ''Edmund Spenser and the Eighteenth-Century Book'' (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press), Introduction, p. 2
* ''The Faerie Queene'' is the most extended and extensive meditation on sex in the history of poetry.
** [[Camille Paglia]], ''Sexual Personae'' (1990), p. 188
* There has been and continue to be controversy about the nature and status of to be sex in ''The Faerie Queene''. Most criticism assumes that what Spenser says is what he means. But a poet may not always be master of his own poem, for imagination can overwhelms moral intention. Some of the poetically strongest and most fully realized material in ''The Faerie Queene'' is pornographic. Like [[William Blake|Blake]]'s [[John Milton|Milton]], Spenser may be one of the devil's party without knowing it. In a paradox cherished by [[Marquis de Sade|Sade]] and [[Charles Baudelaire|Baudelaire]], the presence of moral sexual law and taboo intensifies the luxury of evil. A great poet always has profound ambivalences and obscurities whose motivation criticism has scarcely begun to study in this case. ''The Faerie Queene'' is didactic but also self-pleasuring. Not despite the complexity of erotic response, Spenser was a sexual psychologist of the first rank, surpassed only by [[Sigmund Freud|Freud]] and [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]. His treatment of erotic archetype, and perversion, dream, civilization, fantasy, obsession, and sacrifice lifts ''The Faerie Queene'' out of national into world literature.

* Sing, clear-voiced Muse, of {{w|Hephaestus}} famed for inventions. With bright-eyed [[Athena]] he taught men glorious crafts throughout the world,—men who before used to dwell in caves in the mountains like wild beasts. But now that they have learned crafts through Hephaestus, the famed worker, easily they live a [[peace]]ful [[life]] in their own [[house]]s the whole year round.
** Anonymous (ca. 6th c. BC), Tr. [[w:Hugh Evelyn-White|Hugh G. Evelyn-White]], ''Hesiod Homeric Hymns Homerica'' (1st published 1914, Revised 1936, Reprinted 1995) [https://archive.org/details/hesiodhomerichym0000hesi_d6n3/page/447/mode/1up p. 447,] ''The Loeb Classic Library'' Vol. 57, ed. G. P. Goold.
* The factual and pragmatic occupations gradually vanished in the cities; factories replaced shoemakers, carpenters, tailors, blacksmiths, locksmiths, dyers, and painters. The artisan who could concentrate all his personal taste and talent into a door lock or a pointed shoe had to make room for a mechanically creating industrial proletarian, who day after day at certain intervals presses a certain handle or places consecutively five thousand screws on a running board in deadly monotony. The proletarianized factory worker is a comparatively new appearance (or rather: reappearance) in the picture of the city. In the superindustrialized modern world he is, in spite of his concrete work, no longer a realist — as, for instance, a mechanic in a repair shop — but a daydreamer, a sentimentalist, with nerves often weakened by the torture of monotonous routine, and therefore he "explodes" from time to time under external influences. He no longer masters his tools — the machines — but is mastered by them.
: The men who truly carry on the tradition of the inventive manual laborer, the craftsmen, are the different "repairers" and "menders" who have hitherto escaped the domination of machinery and monotony. Among these we find not only the cobbler or the glass repairer, the watch "maker" or the garage mechanic, but also the surgeon. They have to work, it is true, on a basic material which may be fabricated, but they have nevertheless to face individual "damages" and they have to use their analytical as well as synthetic mind in order to cope with individually different situations. Tailors and ''chefs de cuisine'' occupy an even higher level of independence and ''personal'' work; they belong actually to that tiny [[aristocracy]] of people still privileged by fate to exercise in connection with their daily work the finest human faculty — creativeness. They are thus still permitted to share, in a feeble, human way, in the great divine process of ''personal creation'' whose eternal source is [[God]] himself.
:* [[Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn]], ''The Menace of the Herd'' (1943), p. 64
* Once Europe could boast of a large class of craftsmen — free people with the opportunity for artistic creation; but now everything is manufactured by mass production and the result is an incredible shrinkage in the variety of forms due to standardization. There is probably a greater variety of goods in Timbuctoo or in the Sooks of Marrakesh than in Frankfort or Los Angeles. The artifacts are thus "democratized." (Mr. Gray and Mr. Green get an identical product for an identical price.)
** [[Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn]], ''The Menace of the Herd'' (1943), p. 86
* Pride in one’s work carries with it a determination to accept the demands imposed by that work: in the case of philosophy to follow the argument where it leads, in the case of history to discover what actually happened, in the case of literature to explore to its depths a particular theme. In consequence, this sort of pride demands freedom: it has to be laid low in any authoritarian State. The historian, in such a system, has to conform to official interpretations of the past, the philosopher to dogmas, the writer to stereotypes of human action, the craftsman to “production-schedules.” More subtly, attempts are made to lay pride low in a consumer’s society: the film-director, the novelist, the craftsman are called upon to produce “what will sell” at whatever cost to their pride in workmanship.
** [[John Passmore]], ''The Perfectibility of Man'' (1971), p. 290.
* Habituation to bargaining and to the competitive principles of business necessarily brings it about that pecuniary standards of efficiency invade (contaminate) the sense of workmanship; so that work, workmen, equipment and products come to be rated on a scale of money values, which has only a circuitous and often only a putative relation to their workmanlike efficiency or their serviceability. Those occupations and those aptitudes that yield good returns in terms of price are reputed valuable and commendable, — the accepted test of success, and even of serviceability, being the gains acquired. Workmanship comes to be confused with salesmanship, until tact, effrontery and prevarication have come to serve as a standard of efficiency, and unearned gain is accepted as the measure of productiveness.
** [[Thorstein Veblen]], ''The Instinct of Workmanship and the State of the Industrial Arts'' (1914), p. 349
* Before the age of adulteration it was held that behind each work there stood some conception of its perfect execution. It was this that gave zest to labor and served to measure the degree of success. To the extent that the concept obtained, there was a teleology in work, since the laborer toiled not merely to win sustenance but to see this ideal embodied in his creation. Pride in craftsmanship is well explained by saying that to labor is to pray, for conscientious effort to realize an ideal is a kind of fidelity. The craftsman of old time did not hurry, because the perfect takes no account of time and shoddy work is a reproach to character. But character itself is an expression of self-control, which does not come of taking the easiest way. Where character forbids self-indulgence, transcendence still hovers around. When utilitarianism becomes enthroned and the worker is taught that work is use and not worship, interest in quality begins to decline. … There is a difference between expressing one’s self in form and producing quantity for a market with an eye to speculation. [[Charles Péguy|Péguy]] wished to know what had become of the honor of work. It has succumbed to the same forces as have all other expressions of honor.
** [[Richard Weaver]], ''Ideas Have Consequences'' (1948)

'''''[[Thomas & Friends|Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends]]''''' Season 1
==Season 1==
===''Thomas and Gordon (UK) / Thomas Gets Tricked (US)'' [1.1]===
:'''Narrator''': Thomas is a tank engine who lives at the big station on the Island of Sodor. He's a cheeky little engine with six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler, and a short stumpy dome.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Thomas''': ''[taken through Gordon's fast ride]'' Peep! Peep! Stop! Stop!
:'''Gordon''': Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
:'''Coaches''': You can't get away! You can't get away!
===''Edward and Gordon (UK) / Edward Helps Out (US)'' [1.2]===
:'''Trucks''': ''[after Edward bumps them]'' OOH! Whatever is happening?!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Gordon refuses to go up the hill]''
:'''Driver''': You're not trying.
:'''Gordon''': I can't do it! The noisy trucks hold an engine back so!
:'''Narrator''': Edward's driver came up.
:'''Edward's Driver''': We've come to push.
:'''Gordon''': No use at all!
:'''Edward's Driver''': You wait and see.
:'''Narrator''': They brought the train back to the bottom of the hill.
:'''Edward''': I'm ready.
:'''Gordon''': No good.
:'''Narrator''': They pulled and pushed as hard as they could.
:'''Gordon''': I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it!
:'''Edward''': I will do it, I will do it, I will do it!
===''The Sad Story of Henry (UK) / Come Out, Henry! (US)'' [1.3]===
:'''Narrator''': Once, an engine attached to a train was afraid of a few drops of rain. It went into a tunnel and squeaked through its funnel, and wouldn't come out again. The engine's name is Henry. His driver and fireman argued with him, but he would not move.
:'''Henry''': ''[hides in a tunnel]'' The rain will spoil my lovely green paint and red stripes.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Narrator''': Everyone pulled except the Fat Controller.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Because... My doctor has forbidden me to pull.
:'''Narrator''': But still, Henry stayed in the tunnel. Then they tried pushing from the other end. The Fat Controller said...
:'''The Fat Controller''': 1, 2, 3, PUSH!
:'''Narrator''': But he didn't help.
:'''The Fat Controller''': My doctor has forbidden me to push.
====Ending (UK version)====
:'''Narrator''': Eventually, even the Fat Controller gave up.
:'''The Fat Controller''': We shall take away your rails, and leave you here for always and ''always and ALWAYS.''
:'''Narrator''': They took up the old rails and built a wall in front of him, so that Henry couldn't get out of the tunnel anymore. [...] Soot and dirt from the tunnel had spoilt his lovely green paint and red stripes anyway. He wondered if he would ever be allowed to pull trains again. But I think he deserved his punishment, don't you?
====Ending (US version)====
:'''Narrator''': Eventually, even Sir Topham Hatt gave up.
:'''Sir Topham Hatt''': We shall take away your rails, and leave you here until you're ready to come out of the tunnel.
:'''Narrator''': They took up the old rails and built a wall in front of Henry, so that other engines wouldn't bump into him. [...] Soot and dirt from the tunnel had spoiled his lovely green paint and red stripes anyway. How long do you think Henry will stay in the tunnel before he overcomes his fear of the rain, and decides to journey out again?
===''Edward, Gordon and Henry (UK) / Henry to the Rescue (US)'' [1.4]===
:'''Henry''': Oh dear. Why did I worry about rain spoiling my lovely coat of paint? Will the Fat Controller ever forgive me and let me out again?
:'''Gordon''': I'm going to "poop-poop!" at Henry!
:'''Narrator''': He was almost there when... Wheesh! And there was proud Gordon going slower and slower in a cloud of steam. His driver stopped the train.
:'''Gordon''': What has happened to me?! I feel so weak!
:'''Driver''': You burst your safety valve. You can't pull the train anymore!
:'''Gordon''': Oh, dear! We were going so nicely, too! And look! There's Henry laughing at me!
:'''Narrator''': Everyone came to see Gordon.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Huh! I never liked these big engines, always going wrong. Send for another engine at once.

:''[Gordon notices Edward approaching the coaches]''
:'''Gordon''': Hmph! That's no use. Edward can't push the train!
:'''Narrator''': Edward puffed and pushed and pushed and puffed, but he couldn't move the heavy coaches.
:'''Gordon''': I told you so! Why not let Henry try?
:'''The Fat Controller''': Yes! I will!
===''Thomas' Train (UK) / A Big Day for Thomas (US)'' [1.5]===
:'''Thomas''': I spend my time pulling coaches about, ready for ''you'' to take out on journeys.
:'''Narrator''': The other engines laughed.
:'''Thomas''': Why can't ''I'' pull passenger trains, too?
:'''Henry, Edward, and Gordon''': You're too impatient. You'd be sure to leave something behind.
:'''Thomas''': Rubbish! I'll show you.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Signalman''': Hello, Thomas. What are you doing here?
:'''Thomas''': I'm pulling a train. Can't you see?
:'''Signalman''': Where are your coaches, then?
:'''Narrator''': Thomas looked back.
:'''Thomas''': Why, bless me! If we haven't left them behind!
:'''Signalman''': Yes. You'd better go back quickly and fetch them.
===''Thomas and the Trucks (UK) / Trouble for Thomas (US)'' [1.6]===
:'''Thomas''': I'm tired of pushing coaches. I want to see the world.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Fat Controller''': What are you doing here, Thomas?
:'''Thomas''': I brought Edward's trucks.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Why did you come so fast?
:'''Thomas''': I didn't mean to. I was pushed.
:'''The Fat Controller''': You've got a lot to learn about trucks then, little Thomas. After pushing them about here for a few weeks, you'll know almost as much about them as Edward. Then you'll be a really useful engine.
===''Thomas and the Breakdown Train (UK) / Thomas Saves the Day (US)'' [1.7]===
:'''The Fat Controller''': Hello! Remember, don't be impatient, Thomas. You can never be as strong and fast as Gordon, but you ''can'' be a really useful engine. Don't let the silly trucks tease you.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Thomas''': ''[pushes the breakdown train to the scene of James' accident]'' Bother those trucks and their tricks! I hope poor James isn't hurt.
===''James and the Coaches (UK) / James Learns a Lesson (US)'' [1.8]===
:'''The Fat Controller''': If you can't behave, I shall take away your red coat, and have you painted blue.
:'''Narrator''': James didn't like that at all.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[after James stops all of a sudden]''
:'''James''': What's the matter?
:'''Driver''': The brakes are on. Leak in the pipe, most likely. You've banged the coaches enough to make a leak in anything!
:''[he and the guard inspect the damage]''
:'''Guard''': How shall we mend it?
:'''Driver''': We'll do it with newspaper and a leather bootlace.
:'''Guard''': Well, where is the bootlace coming from?
:'''Driver''': Ask the passengers.
:''[the guard turns to the passengers]''
:'''Guard''': ''[to a smartly-dressed passenger]'' You have a leather bootlace there I see, sir. Please give it to me.
:'''Passenger''': I won't.
:'''Guard''': Then I'm afraid the train will just stop where it is.
:'''Narrator''': The passengers all said what a bad railway it was. Then they told the man how bad he was instead. Everyone was very cross. At last, he handed his laces over.
===''Troublesome Trucks (UK) / Foolish Freight Cars (US)'' [1.9]===
:'''The Fat Controller''': I see you are sorry, James. I hope now that you will be a better engine. You have given me a lot of trouble. People are laughing at my railway, and I don't like that at all.
:'''James''': I'm very sorry, Sir. I will try hard to behave.
:'''The Fat Controller''': That's a good engine! I want you to pull some trucks for me.
:'''Narrator''': James was delighted and puffed away.
:'''Thomas''': Here are your trucks, James. Have you got some bootlaces ready?
:'''Narrator''': And he ran off laughing.
:'''Trucks''': Oh! Oh! Oh! We want a proper engine, not a red monster.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Fat Controller''': I was in Edward's train, and I saw everything. You've made the most troublesome trucks on the line behave. After that performance, you deserve to keep your red coat.
===''James and the Express (UK) / A Proud Day for James (US)'' [1.10]===
:'''Gordon''': Wake up, James. It's nearly time for the express. What are you doing, odd jobs? Ah, well. We all have to begin somewhere. Don't we? Run along and get my coaches. Don't be late.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Gordon tries to sneak into Knapford Station undetected]''
:'''James''': Hello, Gordon. Is it tomorrow?
:'''Narrator''': Gordon didn't answer. He just let off steam feebly.
:'''James''': Did you lose your way, Gordon?
:'''Gordon''': No. It was lost for me. I was switched off the main line onto the loop. I had to go all around and back again!
:'''James''': Perhaps it was instinct.
:'''Narrator''': Meanwhile, all the passengers hurried to the booking office.
:'''Passengers''': We want our money back!
:'''Narrator''': But the Fat Director climbed on a trolley and blew the guard’s whistle so loudly, that they all stopped to look at him. Then he promised them a new train at once.
===''Thomas and the Guard (UK) / Thomas and the Conductor (US)'' [1.11]===
:''[Henry arrives at the station late]''
:'''Thomas''': Where have you been, lazybones?
:'''Henry''': Oh, dear. My system is out of order. No one understands my case. You don't know what I suffer!
:'''Thomas''': Rubbish! You're too fat. You need exercise.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Thomas''': Peep! Peep! Peep! Where is the guard?
:'''Annie and Clarabel''': We've left him behind!
===''Thomas Goes Fishing'' [1.12]===
:'''Thomas''': I want to fish!
:'''Narrator''': But they all had the same answer.
:'''James''': Engines don't go fishing.
:'''Thomas''': Silly stick-in-the-muds.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[the Fat Controller looks into Thomas' tank]''
:'''The Fat Controller''': Inspector, can you see... fish?
:'''Narrator''': Thomas was horrified upon hearing such news.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Gracious, goodness me! How did the fish get there, Driver?
:'''Driver''': We must've fished them from the river with our bucket.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Well, Thomas, so you and your Driver have been fishing. But fish don't suit you. We must get them out.
:'''Narrator''': They all took turns at fishing in Thomas' tank, while The Fat Controller looked on and told them how to do it. When they had caught all the fish, they had a lovely picnic supper of fish and chips.
:'''The Fat Controller''': ''[finishes meal]'' Mmm! That was good! But fish don't suit you, Thomas, so you mustn't do it again.
:'''Thomas''': No, Sir, I won't. Engines don't go fishing. It's too uncomfortable.
===''Thomas, Terence and the Snow (UK) / Terence the Tractor (US)'' [1.13]===
:'''Terence''': Hello! I'm Terence. I'm plowing.
:'''Thomas''': I'm Thomas. I'm pulling a train. What ugly wheels you've got.
:'''Terence''': They're not ugly. They're caterpillars! I can go anywhere. I don't need rails.
:'''Thomas''': I don't want to go ''anywhere''. I like my rails. Thank you.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Thomas''': ''[stuck in the snow]'' Oh, my wheels and coupling rods! I shall have to stop here till I'm frozen! What a silly engine I am!
===''Thomas and Bertie (UK) / Thomas and Bertie's Great Race (US)'' [1.14]===
:'''Thomas''': Hello. Who are you?
:'''Bertie''': I'm Bertie. Who are you?
:'''Thomas''': I'm Thomas. I run this Branch Line.
:'''Bertie''': So ''you're'' Thomas eh? I remember now. You got stuck in the snow. I took your passengers, and Terence the Tractor pulled you out. I've come to help you with your passengers today.
:'''Thomas''': Help me? I can go faster than you.
:'''Bertie''': You can't.
:'''Thomas''': I can.
:'''Bertie''': I'll race you.
:'''Narrator''': Their drivers agreed to the race going ahead. The stationmaster said:
:'''Stationmaster''': Are you ready? GO!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[after the race]''
:'''Bertie''': Well done, Thomas! That was fun! But to beat you over that hill, I should have to grow wings and be an airplane.
===''Tenders and Turntables'' [1.15]===
:'''Gordon''': You don't understand, little Thomas. We tender engines have a position to keep up. It doesn't matter where you go, but we are important. And for the Fat Controller to make us do shunting, fetch coaches, and go on some of those dirty sidings, it's... It's... Well, it's not the proper thing.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[James is spun around on the turntable]''
:'''Gordon''': Well, well! Are you playing roundabouts?
:'''Narrator''': Poor James feeling quite giddy rolled off to the shed without a word. That night, the three engines had an indignation meeting.
:'''Henry''': It's shameful to treat tender engines like this, Gordon has to go backwards and people think he's a tank engine, James spins around like a top and everyone laughs at us! And to add to that, the Fat Controller makes us all shunt in dirty sidings.
:'''Gordon''': Blegh! Listen.
:'''Narrator''': He whispered something to the others.
:'''Gordon''': We'll do it tomorrow. The Fat Controller will look silly.
:'''Narrator''': The engines had decided to go on strike.
===''Trouble in the Shed'' [1.16]===
:'''The Fat Controller''': Come along, Henry. It's time your train was ready.
:'''Gordon''': Henry's not going. We won't shunt like common tank engines. That was Thomas' job. We are important ''tender'' engines. You fetch our coaches, and we will pull them. Tender engines don't shunt.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Oh, indeed! We'll see about that. Engines on my railway do as they are told.
:''[he gets into his car and drives off to get Edward]''
:'''The Fat Controller''': The yard has never been the same since Thomas left to run his branch line.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Fat Controller''': Bless me! What a noise!
:'''Edward''': They all hiss me, Sir. They say tender engines don't shunt, and last night, they said I have black wheels. I haven't, have I, Sir?
:'''The Fat Controller''': No, Edward. You have nice, blue ones, and I'm proud of you. Tender engines ''do'' shunt. But all the same, we do need another tank engine here.
===''Percy Runs Away'' [1.17]===
:'''Gordon''': ''[about to crash into Percy]'' OH! GET OUT OF MY WAY!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Gordon''': ''[helps Percy out of the earth bank]'' Well done, Percy. You started so quickly that you stopped a nasty accident.
:'''Percy''': I'm sorry I was cheeky. You were clever to stop.
===''Coal (UK) / Henry's Special Coal (US)'' [1.18]===
:'''Henry''': I suffer dreadfully, and no one cares.
:'''James''': Rubbish, Henry! You don't work hard enough.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Fat Controller''': How are you, Henry?
:'''Henry''': Peep-Peep! I feel fine!
:'''The Fat Controller''': Have you a good fire, Driver?
:'''Driver''': Never better, Sir, and plenty of steam.
:'''The Fat Controller''': No record breaking. Don't push him too hard.
:'''Driver''': Henry won't need pushing, Sir. I'll have to hold him back.
===''The Flying Kipper'' [1.19]===
:'''Henry''': ''[pulls out of the harbor]'' Come on! Come on! Don't be silly! Don't be silly!
:'''Vans''': Trock-trick! Trock-trick! All right! All right!
:'''Henry''': That's better. That's better.
:'''Narrator''': Clouds of smoke and steam poured from his funnel into the cold air, and the fire's light shone brightly.
:'''Henry''': Hurry, hurry, hurry!
:'''Narrator''': They were going well. The light grew better. Signal lights shown green as they passed.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[after the accident]''
:'''Henry''': The signal was down, Sir.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Cheer up, Henry. It wasn't your fault. Ice and snow caused the accident. I'm sending you to Crewe, a fine place for sick engines. They'll give you a new shape and a larger firebox. You'll feel a different engine, and you won't need special coal anymore. Won't that be nice?
:'''Henry''': ''[doubtful]'' Yes, sir.
===''Whistles and Sneezes'' [1.20]===
:'''Gordon''': Why should Henry have a new shape? A shape good enough for me is good enough for him. He goes gallivanting off to Crewe, leaving us to do his work, and comes back saying how happy he feels. It's disgraceful! And there's another thing: Henry whistles too much! No respectable engine ever whistles loudly at stations. It isn't wrong, but we just don't do it!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Driver''': Henry has plenty of ashes. Please keep all windows shut till we pass the bridge. Henry's as excited as we are. Aren't you, old fellow?
:'''Narrator''': Henry was feeling "stuffed-up".
===''Toby and the Stout Gentleman (UK) / Toby the Tram Engine (US)'' [1.21]===
:'''Grandchildren''': Come on, Grandfather! Do look at this engine.
:'''The Fat Controller''': That's a tram engine, Stephen.
:'''Bridget''': Is it electric?
:'''Toby''': ''[angrily]'' WHOOSH!
:'''Stephen''': Shh! You've offended him!
:'''Bridget''': But trams are electric, aren't they?
:'''The Fat Controller''': They are mostly, but this is a ''steam'' tram.
:'''Stephen and Bridget''': May we go in it, Grandfather? Please?
:'''The Fat Controller''': ''[to the guard]'' STOP!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Henrietta''': Hip-Hip-Hooray!
:'''Narrator''': But Toby didn't sing.
:'''Toby''': Electric, indeed. Electric, indeed.
===''Thomas in Trouble (UK) / Thomas Breaks the Rules (US)'' [1.22]===
:'''Policeman''': Where's your cowcatcher?
:'''Thomas''': But I don't catch cows, sir.
:'''Policeman''': Don't be funny.
:'''Narrator''': He looked at Thomas' wheels.
:'''Policeman''': No side plates either.
:'''Narrator''': And he wrote in his notebook.
:'''Policeman''': Engines going on public roads must have their wheels covered and a cowcatcher in front to protect people and animals from being dragged under the wheels if they stray onto the line. ''[directly to Thomas]'' You haven't, so you are dangerous.
:'''Driver''': Rubbish! We've been along here hundreds of times and never had an accident.
:'''Policeman''': That makes it worse.
:'''Narrator''': He wrote "Regular Lawbreaker" in his book. Thomas puffed sadly away.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Narrator''': At the station, Thomas' driver told the Fat Controller what had happened.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Dangerous to the public, indeed! We'll see about that!
:'''Narrator''': The Fat Controller spoke to the Policeman. But however much he argued with him, it was no good.
:'''Policeman''': The law is the law, and we can't change it.
:'''Narrator''': The Fat Controller felt exhausted.
:'''The Fat Controller''': I'm sorry, Driver. It's no use arguing with policemen. We will have to make those "cowcatcher" things for Thomas, I suppose.
:'''Thomas''': Everyone will laugh, Sir! They'll say I look like a tram!
:'''Narrator''': The Fat Controller stared, then he laughed.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Well done, Thomas! Why didn't I think of it before?! We need a tram engine! When I was on my holiday, I met a nice little engine called Toby. He takes trucks from the farms, but the lorries are taking over most of his work and he needs a change. He has cowcatchers and sideplates. I'll write to his controller at once.
===''Dirty Objects (UK) / James in a Mess (US)'' [1.23]===
:'''James''': ''[eyes Toby and Henrietta]'' Ugh! What dirty objects!
:'''Narrator''': At last, Toby lost patience.
:'''Toby''': ''[offended]'' James, why are you red?
:'''James''': I am a splendid engine. Ready for anything. You never see my paint dirty.
:'''Toby''': Oh! That's why you once needed bootlaces, to be ready, I suppose.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Toby''': Look here, Percy. Whatever is that dirty object?
:'''Percy''': That's James. Didn't you know?
:'''Toby''': It's James' shape. But James is a splendid red engine, and you never see ''his'' paint dirty.
:'''Narrator''': James pretended he hadn't heard.
===''Off the Rails (UK) / Gordon Takes a Dip (US)'' [1.24]===
:'''Gordon''': ''[in his sleep]'' It's really tiring to be such a large and splendid engine. One does have to keep up appearances so.
:''[Henry shows up unexpectedly]''
:'''Henry''': Peep-Peep-Peep-Peep! Hello, Fat face!
:'''Gordon''': What cheek! That Henry is too big for his wheels. Fancy speaking to me like that. ''Me'', who has never had an accident!
:'''Percy''': Aren't jammed whistles and burst safety valves accidents?
:'''Gordon''': No, indeed! High spirits- Might happen to any engine. But to come off the rails like Henry did, well I ask you, is that right? Is it decent?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Fat Controller''': ''[on the phone]'' So Gordon didn't want to take the special train and ran into a ditch?! What's that you say? The special's waiting? Tell Edward to take it, please. And Gordon, leave him where he is. We haven't have time to bother him now.
===''Down the Mine'' [1.25]===
:'''Thomas''': PEW! What a funny smell! Can you smell a smell?
:'''Annie''': I can't smell a smell.
:'''Thomas''': A funny, musty sort of smell.
:'''Gordon''': No one noticed it 'til ''you'' did. It must be yours.
:'''Narrator''': Not long ago, he had fallen into a dirty ditch. Thomas enjoyed teasing him about it.
:'''Thomas''': Annie, Clarabel, do you know what I think it is? It's ditch water!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Thomas''': ''[after falling down the mine]'' Fire and smoke! I'm sunk! Oh, dear! I am a silly engine!
:'''The Fat Controller''': ''[smiles]'' And a very naughty one, too. I saw you.
:'''Thomas''': Please get me out. I won't be naughty again.
:'''The Fat Controller''': I'm not sure. We can't lift you out with a crane. The ground's not firm enough. Hmm... Let me see... I wonder if Gordn could pull you out.
:'''Thomas''': ''[nervously]'' Yes, Sir.
===''Thomas' Christmas Party'' [1.26]===
:'''Annie and Clarabel''': It's always the same before Christmas. We feel so full! We feel so full!
:'''Thomas''': Oh, come on! Where's your festive spirit? Christmas Day is almost here!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Gordon''': Ha! Just look at us. Your driver will have to work fast to get you as smart as us.
:'''Thomas''': Never mind that. I have something important to say. Do you realize it's been a whole year since Mrs. Kyndley saved us from a nasty accident?
:''[he has a flashback of what happened]''
:'''Thomas''': You remember, when she was ill and bed, and...?
:'''Edward''': Yes, of course. You told us how she waved her red dressing gown out of her window to warn you about a landslide ahead.
:'''Percy''': And you and Toby gave her presents. And the Fat Controller sent her to Bournemouth to get better.
:'''James''' and '''Henry''': But...
:'''James''' or '''Henry''': The rest of us never thanked her properly.
:'''Thomas''': Exactly! So, now I think we should all give her a special Christmas party.

'''''[[Thomas & Friends|Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends]]''''' Season 1
==Season 1==
===''Thomas and Gordon (UK) / Thomas Gets Tricked (US)'' [1.1]===
:'''Narrator''': Thomas is a tank engine who lives at the big station on the Island of Sodor. He's a cheeky little engine with six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler, and a short stumpy dome.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Thomas''': ''[taken through Gordon's fast ride]'' Peep! Peep! Stop! Stop!
:'''Gordon''': Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
:'''Coaches''': You can't get away! You can't get away!
===''Edward and Gordon (UK) / Edward Helps Out (US)'' [1.2]===
:'''Trucks''': ''[after Edward bumps them]'' OOH! Whatever is happening?!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Gordon refuses to go up the hill]''
:'''Driver''': You're not trying.
:'''Gordon''': I can't do it! The noisy trucks hold an engine back so!
:'''Narrator''': Edward's driver came up.
:'''Edward's Driver''': We've come to push.
:'''Gordon''': No use at all!
:'''Edward's Driver''': You wait and see.
:'''Narrator''': They brought the train back to the bottom of the hill.
:'''Edward''': I'm ready.
:'''Gordon''': No good.
:'''Narrator''': They pulled and pushed as hard as they could.
:'''Gordon''': I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it!
:'''Edward''': I will do it, I will do it, I will do it!
===''The Sad Story of Henry (UK) / Come Out, Henry! (US)'' [1.3]===
:'''Narrator''': Once, an engine attached to a train was afraid of a few drops of rain. It went into a tunnel and squeaked through its funnel, and wouldn't come out again. The engine's name is Henry. His driver and fireman argued with him, but he would not move.
:'''Henry''': ''[hides in a tunnel]'' The rain will spoil my lovely green paint and red stripes.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Narrator''': Everyone pulled except the Fat Controller.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Because... My doctor has forbidden me to pull.
:'''Narrator''': But still, Henry stayed in the tunnel. Then they tried pushing from the other end. The Fat Controller said...
:'''The Fat Controller''': 1, 2, 3, PUSH!
:'''Narrator''': But he didn't help.
:'''The Fat Controller''': My doctor has forbidden me to push.
====Ending (UK version)====
:'''Narrator''': Eventually, even the Fat Controller gave up.
:'''The Fat Controller''': We shall take away your rails, and leave you here for always and ''always and ALWAYS.''
:'''Narrator''': They took up the old rails and built a wall in front of him, so that Henry couldn't get out of the tunnel anymore. [...] Soot and dirt from the tunnel had spoilt his lovely green paint and red stripes anyway. He wondered if he would ever be allowed to pull trains again. But I think he deserved his punishment, don't you?
====Ending (US version)====
:'''Narrator''': Eventually, even Sir Topham Hatt gave up.
:'''Sir Topham Hatt''': We shall take away your rails, and leave you here until you're ready to come out of the tunnel.
:'''Narrator''': They took up the old rails and built a wall in front of Henry, so that other engines wouldn't bump into him. [...] Soot and dirt from the tunnel had spoiled his lovely green paint and red stripes anyway. How long do you think Henry will stay in the tunnel before he overcomes his fear of the rain, and decides to journey out again?
===''Edward, Gordon and Henry (UK) / Henry to the Rescue (US)'' [1.4]===
:'''Henry''': Oh dear. Why did I worry about rain spoiling my lovely coat of paint? Will the Fat Controller ever forgive me and let me out again?
:'''Gordon''': I'm going to "poop-poop!" at Henry!
:'''Narrator''': He was almost there when... Wheesh! And there was Gordon going slower and slower in a cloud of steam. His driver stopped the train.
:'''Gordon''': What has happened to me? I feel so weak.
:'''Driver''': You burst your safety valve. You can't pull the train anymore.
:'''Gordon''': Oh, dear.! We were going so nicely, too. And look, there's Henry laughing at me.
:'''Narrator''': Everyone came to see Gordon.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Huh! I never liked these big engines, always going wrong. Send for another engine at once.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Gordon notices Edward approaching the coaches]''
:'''Gordon''': Hmph! That's no use. Edward can't push the train.
:'''Narrator''': Edward puffed and pushed and pushed and puffed, but he couldn't move the heavy coaches.
:'''Gordon''': I told you so. Why not let Henry try?
:'''The Fat Controller''': Yes. I will.
===''Thomas' Train (UK) / A Big Day for Thomas (US)'' [1.5]===
:'''Thomas''': I spend my time pulling coaches about, ready for ''you'' to take out on journeys.
:'''Narrator''': The other engines laughed.
:'''Thomas''': Why can't ''I'' pull passenger trains, too?
:'''Henry, Edward, and Gordon''': You're too impatient. You'd be sure to leave something behind.
:'''Thomas''': Rubbish! I'll show you.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Signalman''': Hello, Thomas. What are you doing here?
:'''Thomas''': I'm pulling a train. Can't you see?
:'''Signalman''': Where are your coaches, then?
:'''Narrator''': Thomas looked back.
:'''Thomas''': Why, bless me! If we haven't left them behind!
:'''Signalman''': Yes. You'd better go back quickly and fetch them.
===''Thomas and the Trucks (UK) / Trouble for Thomas (US)'' [1.6]===
:'''Thomas''': I'm tired of pushing coaches. I want to see the world.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Fat Controller''': What are you doing here, Thomas?
:'''Thomas''': I brought Edward's trucks.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Why did you come so fast?
:'''Thomas''': I didn't mean to. I was pushed.
:'''The Fat Controller''': You've got a lot to learn about trucks then, little Thomas. After pushing them about here for a few weeks, you'll know almost as much about them as Edward. Then you'll be a really useful engine.
===''Thomas and the Breakdown Train (UK) / Thomas Saves the Day (US)'' [1.7]===
:'''The Fat Controller''': Hello! Remember, don't be impatient, Thomas. You can never be as strong and fast as Gordon, but you ''can'' be a really useful engine. Don't let the silly trucks tease you.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Thomas''': ''[pushes the breakdown train to the scene of James' accident]'' Bother those trucks and their tricks! I hope poor James isn't hurt.
===''James and the Coaches (UK) / James Learns a Lesson (US)'' [1.8]===
:'''The Fat Controller''': If you can't behave, I shall take away your red coat, and have you painted blue.
:'''Narrator''': James didn't like that at all.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[after James stops all of a sudden]''
:'''James''': What's the matter?
:'''Driver''': The brakes are on. Leak in the pipe, most likely. You've banged the coaches enough to make a leak in anything!
:''[he and the guard inspect the damage]''
:'''Guard''': How shall we mend it?
:'''Driver''': We'll do it with newspaper and a leather bootlace.
:'''Guard''': Well, where is the bootlace coming from?
:'''Driver''': Ask the passengers.
:''[the guard turns to the passengers]''
:'''Guard''': ''[to a smartly-dressed passenger]'' You have a leather bootlace there I see, sir. Please give it to me.
:'''Passenger''': I won't.
:'''Guard''': Then I'm afraid the train will just stop where it is.
:'''Narrator''': The passengers all said what a bad railway it was. Then they told the man how bad he was instead. Everyone was very cross. At last, he handed his laces over.
===''Troublesome Trucks (UK) / Foolish Freight Cars (US)'' [1.9]===
:'''The Fat Controller''': I see you are sorry, James. I hope now that you will be a better engine. You have given me a lot of trouble. People are laughing at my railway, and I don't like that at all.
:'''James''': I'm very sorry, Sir. I will try hard to behave.
:'''The Fat Controller''': That's a good engine! I want you to pull some trucks for me.
:'''Narrator''': James was delighted and puffed away.
:'''Thomas''': Here are your trucks, James. Have you got some bootlaces ready?
:'''Narrator''': And he ran off laughing.
:'''Trucks''': Oh! Oh! Oh! We want a proper engine, not a red monster.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Fat Controller''': I was in Edward's train, and I saw everything. You've made the most troublesome trucks on the line behave. After that performance, you deserve to keep your red coat.
===''James and the Express (UK) / A Proud Day for James (US)'' [1.10]===
:'''Gordon''': Wake up, James. It's nearly time for the express. What are you doing, odd jobs? Ah, well. We all have to begin somewhere. Don't we? Run along and get my coaches. Don't be late.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Gordon tries to sneak into Knapford Station undetected]''
:'''James''': Hello, Gordon. Is it tomorrow?
:'''Narrator''': Gordon didn't answer. He just let off steam feebly.
:'''James''': Did you lose your way, Gordon?
:'''Gordon''': No. It was lost for me. I was switched off the main line onto the loop. I had to go all around and back again!
:'''James''': Perhaps it was instinct.
:'''Narrator''': Meanwhile, all the passengers hurried to the booking office.
:'''Passengers''': We want our money back!
:'''Narrator''': But the Fat Director climbed on a trolley and blew the guard’s whistle so loudly, that they all stopped to look at him. Then he promised them a new train at once.
===''Thomas and the Guard (UK) / Thomas and the Conductor (US)'' [1.11]===
:''[Henry arrives at the station late]''
:'''Thomas''': Where have you been, lazybones?
:'''Henry''': Oh, dear. My system is out of order. No one understands my case. You don't know what I suffer!
:'''Thomas''': Rubbish! You're too fat. You need exercise.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Thomas''': Peep! Peep! Peep! Where is the guard?
:'''Annie and Clarabel''': We've left him behind!
===''Thomas Goes Fishing'' [1.12]===
:'''Thomas''': I want to fish!
:'''Narrator''': But they all had the same answer.
:'''James''': Engines don't go fishing.
:'''Thomas''': Silly stick-in-the-muds.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[the Fat Controller looks into Thomas' tank]''
:'''The Fat Controller''': Inspector, can you see... fish?
:'''Narrator''': Thomas was horrified upon hearing such news.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Gracious, goodness me! How did the fish get there, Driver?
:'''Driver''': We must've fished them from the river with our bucket.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Well, Thomas, so you and your Driver have been fishing. But fish don't suit you. We must get them out.
:'''Narrator''': They all took turns at fishing in Thomas' tank, while The Fat Controller looked on and told them how to do it. When they had caught all the fish, they had a lovely picnic supper of fish and chips.
:'''The Fat Controller''': ''[finishes meal]'' Mmm! That was good! But fish don't suit you, Thomas, so you mustn't do it again.
:'''Thomas''': No, Sir, I won't. Engines don't go fishing. It's too uncomfortable.
===''Thomas, Terence and the Snow (UK) / Terence the Tractor (US)'' [1.13]===
:'''Terence''': Hello! I'm Terence. I'm plowing.
:'''Thomas''': I'm Thomas. I'm pulling a train. What ugly wheels you've got.
:'''Terence''': They're not ugly. They're caterpillars! I can go anywhere. I don't need rails.
:'''Thomas''': I don't want to go ''anywhere''. I like my rails. Thank you.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Thomas''': ''[stuck in the snow]'' Oh, my wheels and coupling rods! I shall have to stop here till I'm frozen! What a silly engine I am!
===''Thomas and Bertie (UK) / Thomas and Bertie's Great Race (US)'' [1.14]===
:'''Thomas''': Hello. Who are you?
:'''Bertie''': I'm Bertie. Who are you?
:'''Thomas''': I'm Thomas. I run this Branch Line.
:'''Bertie''': So ''you're'' Thomas eh? I remember now. You got stuck in the snow. I took your passengers, and Terence the Tractor pulled you out. I've come to help you with your passengers today.
:'''Thomas''': Help me? I can go faster than you.
:'''Bertie''': You can't.
:'''Thomas''': I can.
:'''Bertie''': I'll race you.
:'''Narrator''': Their drivers agreed to the race going ahead. The stationmaster said:
:'''Stationmaster''': Are you ready? GO!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[after the race]''
:'''Bertie''': Well done, Thomas! That was fun! But to beat you over that hill, I should have to grow wings and be an airplane.
===''Tenders and Turntables'' [1.15]===
:'''Gordon''': You don't understand, little Thomas. We tender engines have a position to keep up. It doesn't matter where you go, but we are important. And for the Fat Controller to make us do shunting, fetch coaches, and go on some of those dirty sidings, it's... It's... Well, it's not the proper thing.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[James is spun around on the turntable]''
:'''Gordon''': Well, well! Are you playing roundabouts?
:'''Narrator''': Poor James feeling quite giddy rolled off to the shed without a word. That night, the three engines had an indignation meeting.
:'''Henry''': It's shameful to treat tender engines like this, Gordon has to go backwards and people think he's a tank engine, James spins around like a top and everyone laughs at us! And to add to that, the Fat Controller makes us all shunt in dirty sidings.
:'''Gordon''': Blegh! Listen.
:'''Narrator''': He whispered something to the others.
:'''Gordon''': We'll do it tomorrow. The Fat Controller will look silly.
:'''Narrator''': The engines had decided to go on strike.
===''Trouble in the Shed'' [1.16]===
:'''The Fat Controller''': Come along, Henry. It's time your train was ready.
:'''Gordon''': Henry's not going. We won't shunt like common tank engines. That was Thomas' job. We are important ''tender'' engines. You fetch our coaches, and we will pull them. Tender engines don't shunt.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Oh, indeed! We'll see about that. Engines on my railway do as they are told.
:''[he gets into his car and drives off to get Edward]''
:'''The Fat Controller''': The yard has never been the same since Thomas left to run his branch line.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Fat Controller''': Bless me! What a noise!
:'''Edward''': They all hiss me, Sir. They say tender engines don't shunt, and last night, they said I have black wheels. I haven't, have I, Sir?
:'''The Fat Controller''': No, Edward. You have nice, blue ones, and I'm proud of you. Tender engines ''do'' shunt. But all the same, we do need another tank engine here.
===''Percy Runs Away'' [1.17]===
:'''Gordon''': ''[about to crash into Percy]'' OH! GET OUT OF MY WAY!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Gordon''': ''[helps Percy out of the earth bank]'' Well done, Percy. You started so quickly that you stopped a nasty accident.
:'''Percy''': I'm sorry I was cheeky. You were clever to stop.
===''Coal (UK) / Henry's Special Coal (US)'' [1.18]===
:'''Henry''': I suffer dreadfully, and no one cares.
:'''James''': Rubbish, Henry! You don't work hard enough.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Fat Controller''': How are you, Henry?
:'''Henry''': Peep-Peep! I feel fine!
:'''The Fat Controller''': Have you a good fire, Driver?
:'''Driver''': Never better, Sir, and plenty of steam.
:'''The Fat Controller''': No record breaking. Don't push him too hard.
:'''Driver''': Henry won't need pushing, Sir. I'll have to hold him back.
===''The Flying Kipper'' [1.19]===
:'''Henry''': ''[pulls out of the harbor]'' Come on! Come on! Don't be silly! Don't be silly!
:'''Vans''': Trock-trick! Trock-trick! All right! All right!
:'''Henry''': That's better. That's better.
:'''Narrator''': Clouds of smoke and steam poured from his funnel into the cold air, and the fire's light shone brightly.
:'''Henry''': Hurry, hurry, hurry!
:'''Narrator''': They were going well. The light grew better. Signal lights shown green as they passed.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[after the accident]''
:'''Henry''': The signal was down, Sir.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Cheer up, Henry. It wasn't your fault. Ice and snow caused the accident. I'm sending you to Crewe, a fine place for sick engines. They'll give you a new shape and a larger firebox. You'll feel a different engine, and you won't need special coal anymore. Won't that be nice?
:'''Henry''': ''[doubtful]'' Yes, sir.
===''Whistles and Sneezes'' [1.20]===
:'''Gordon''': Why should Henry have a new shape? A shape good enough for me is good enough for him. He goes gallivanting off to Crewe, leaving us to do his work, and comes back saying how happy he feels. It's disgraceful! And there's another thing: Henry whistles too much! No respectable engine ever whistles loudly at stations. It isn't wrong, but we just don't do it!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Driver''': Henry has plenty of ashes. Please keep all windows shut till we pass the bridge. Henry's as excited as we are. Aren't you, old fellow?
:'''Narrator''': Henry was feeling "stuffed-up".
===''Toby and the Stout Gentleman (UK) / Toby the Tram Engine (US)'' [1.21]===
:'''Grandchildren''': Come on, Grandfather! Do look at this engine.
:'''The Fat Controller''': That's a tram engine, Stephen.
:'''Bridget''': Is it electric?
:'''Toby''': ''[angrily]'' WHOOSH!
:'''Stephen''': Shh! You've offended him!
:'''Bridget''': But trams are electric, aren't they?
:'''The Fat Controller''': They are mostly, but this is a ''steam'' tram.
:'''Stephen and Bridget''': May we go in it, Grandfather? Please?
:'''The Fat Controller''': ''[to the guard]'' STOP!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Henrietta''': Hip-Hip-Hooray!
:'''Narrator''': But Toby didn't sing.
:'''Toby''': Electric, indeed. Electric, indeed.
===''Thomas in Trouble (UK) / Thomas Breaks the Rules (US)'' [1.22]===
:'''Policeman''': Where's your cowcatcher?
:'''Thomas''': But I don't catch cows, sir.
:'''Policeman''': Don't be funny.
:'''Narrator''': He looked at Thomas' wheels.
:'''Policeman''': No side plates either.
:'''Narrator''': And he wrote in his notebook.
:'''Policeman''': Engines going on public roads must have their wheels covered and a cowcatcher in front to protect people and animals from being dragged under the wheels if they stray onto the line. ''[directly to Thomas]'' You haven't, so you are dangerous.
:'''Driver''': Rubbish! We've been along here hundreds of times and never had an accident.
:'''Policeman''': That makes it worse.
:'''Narrator''': He wrote "Regular Lawbreaker" in his book. Thomas puffed sadly away.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Narrator''': At the station, Thomas' driver told the Fat Controller what had happened.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Dangerous to the public, indeed! We'll see about that!
:'''Narrator''': The Fat Controller spoke to the Policeman. But however much he argued with him, it was no good.
:'''Policeman''': The law is the law, and we can't change it.
:'''Narrator''': The Fat Controller felt exhausted.
:'''The Fat Controller''': I'm sorry, Driver. It's no use arguing with policemen. We will have to make those "cowcatcher" things for Thomas, I suppose.
:'''Thomas''': Everyone will laugh, Sir! They'll say I look like a tram!
:'''Narrator''': The Fat Controller stared, then he laughed.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Well done, Thomas! Why didn't I think of it before?! We need a tram engine! When I was on my holiday, I met a nice little engine called Toby. He takes trucks from the farms, but the lorries are taking over most of his work and he needs a change. He has cowcatchers and sideplates. I'll write to his controller at once.
===''Dirty Objects (UK) / James in a Mess (US)'' [1.23]===
:'''James''': ''[eyes Toby and Henrietta]'' Ugh! What dirty objects!
:'''Narrator''': At last, Toby lost patience.
:'''Toby''': ''[offended]'' James, why are you red?
:'''James''': I am a splendid engine. Ready for anything. You never see my paint dirty.
:'''Toby''': Oh! That's why you once needed bootlaces, to be ready, I suppose.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Toby''': Look here, Percy. Whatever is that dirty object?
:'''Percy''': That's James. Didn't you know?
:'''Toby''': It's James' shape. But James is a splendid red engine, and you never see ''his'' paint dirty.
:'''Narrator''': James pretended he hadn't heard.
===''Off the Rails (UK) / Gordon Takes a Dip (US)'' [1.24]===
:'''Gordon''': ''[in his sleep]'' It's really tiring to be such a large and splendid engine. One does have to keep up appearances so.
:''[Henry shows up unexpectedly]''
:'''Henry''': Peep-Peep-Peep-Peep! Hello, Fat face!
:'''Gordon''': What cheek! That Henry is too big for his wheels. Fancy speaking to me like that. ''Me'', who has never had an accident!
:'''Percy''': Aren't jammed whistles and burst safety valves accidents?
:'''Gordon''': No, indeed! High spirits- Might happen to any engine. But to come off the rails like Henry did, well I ask you, is that right? Is it decent?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Fat Controller''': ''[on the phone]'' So Gordon didn't want to take the special train and ran into a ditch?! What's that you say? The special's waiting? Tell Edward to take it, please. And Gordon, leave him where he is. We haven't have time to bother him now.
===''Down the Mine'' [1.25]===
:'''Thomas''': PEW! What a funny smell! Can you smell a smell?
:'''Annie''': I can't smell a smell.
:'''Thomas''': A funny, musty sort of smell.
:'''Gordon''': No one noticed it 'til ''you'' did. It must be yours.
:'''Narrator''': Not long ago, he had fallen into a dirty ditch. Thomas enjoyed teasing him about it.
:'''Thomas''': Annie, Clarabel, do you know what I think it is? It's ditch water!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Thomas''': ''[after falling down the mine]'' Fire and smoke! I'm sunk! Oh, dear! I am a silly engine!
:'''The Fat Controller''': ''[smiles]'' And a very naughty one, too. I saw you.
:'''Thomas''': Please get me out. I won't be naughty again.
:'''The Fat Controller''': I'm not sure. We can't lift you out with a crane. The ground's not firm enough. Hmm... Let me see... I wonder if Gordn could pull you out.
:'''Thomas''': ''[nervously]'' Yes, Sir.
===''Thomas' Christmas Party'' [1.26]===
:'''Annie and Clarabel''': It's always the same before Christmas. We feel so full! We feel so full!
:'''Thomas''': Oh, come on! Where's your festive spirit? Christmas Day is almost here!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Gordon''': Ha! Just look at us. Your driver will have to work fast to get you as smart as us.
:'''Thomas''': Never mind that. I have something important to say. Do you realize it's been a whole year since Mrs. Kyndley saved us from a nasty accident?
:''[he has a flashback of what happened]''
:'''Thomas''': You remember, when she was ill and bed, and...?
:'''Edward''': Yes, of course. You told us how she waved her red dressing gown out of her window to warn you about a landslide ahead.
:'''Percy''': And you and Toby gave her presents. And the Fat Controller sent her to Bournemouth to get better.
:'''James''' and '''Henry''': But...
:'''James''' or '''Henry''': The rest of us never thanked her properly.
:'''Thomas''': Exactly! So, now I think we should all give her a special Christmas party.

==Season 2==
===''Thomas, Percy and the Coal (UK) / Double Trouble (US)'' [2.1]===
:'''Percy''': Hello, Thomas. You look splendid.
:'''Thomas''': Yes, indeed. Blue is the only proper color for an engine.
:'''Toby''': Oh, I don't know. I like my brown paint.
:'''Percy''': I've always been green. I wouldn't wanna be any other color, either.
:'''Thomas''': Well, well, anyway, blue is the only color for a ''really useful'' engine. Everyone knows that.
:''[he huffs away]''
:'''Narrator''': Percy said no more. He just grinned at Toby.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Thomas''': ''[watches the hopper load coal into Percy's trucks]'' Careful. Watch out with those silly trucks.
:'''Trucks''': Go on! Go on! Go on!
:'''Thomas''': And by the way, those buffers don't look very safe to me.
:''[Percy accidentally hits said buffers; the last load of coal pours down on Thomas]''
:'''Narrator''': The last load poured down.
:'''Thomas''': HELP! I'M CHOKING! GET ME OUT!
:'''Narrator''': Percy was worried, but he couldn't help laughing. Thomas' smart blue paint was covered in coal dust, from smoke-box to bunker.
:'''Percy''': Ha-ha! You don't look really useful now, Thomas. You look really disgraceful.
:'''Thomas''': I'm ''not'' disgraceful. You did that on purpose. Get me out!
===''Cows (UK) / A Cow on the Line (US)'' [2.2]===
:''[after hearing about Edward's problem with his trucks]''
:'''Gordon''': Fancy allowing cows to break his train!
:'''Henry''': They wouldn't dare do that to us. We'd show them!
:'''Narrator''': Toby was cross.
:'''Toby''': You couldn't help it, Edward. They've never met cows. I have, and I know the trouble they are!
:'''Narrator''': Some days later, Gordon rushed through Edward's Station.
:'''Gordon''': Poop, Poop! Mind the Cows! Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Henry finds Gordon on the bridge, where Bluebell is blocking his way]''
:'''Henry''': What's this? A cow? I'll soon settle her. Be off! Be off!
:'''Bluebell''': Moo!
:'''Narrator''': Henry backed away nervously.
:'''Henry''': I don't want to hurt her.
===''Bertie's Chase'' [2.3]===
:'''Edward''': Peep-Peep! We're late! Where is Thomas? He doesn't usually make us wait.
:'''Fireman''': ''[sings]'' Oh, dear. What can the matter be? Johnny's so long, and...
:'''Driver''': Never you mind about Johnny. Just you climb on the cab and look for Thomas.
:''[the fireman climbs on top of Edward's cab]''
:'''Driver''': Can you see him?
:'''Fireman''': No. There's Bertie Bus in a tearing hurry. No need to bother with him, though. Likely, he's on a coach tour or something.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Bertie''': ''[to the passengers, after his second attempt to catch up to Edward has failed]'' I'm sorry.
:'''Passengers''': Never mind. After him quickly. Third time lucky, you know. ''[to the driver]'' Do you think we'll catch him at the next station, Driver?
:'''Driver''': There's a good chance. Our road keeps close to the line, and we can climb hills better than Edward. I'll just make sure.
:'''Narrator''': He spoke to the stationmaster. Bertie and the passengers waited impatiently.
:'''Driver''': Yes. We'll do it this time.
:'''Passengers''': Hooray.
===''Saved From Scrap'' [2.4]===
:'''Edward''': I'm going to the scrap yard today.
:'''Thomas''': What, already? You're not that old.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Vicar''': Hello, Edward. You look upset. ''[to the driver]'' What's the matter, Charlie?
:'''Driver''': There's a traction engine in the scrap yard, Vicar. He'll be broken up next week. Jem Cole says he never drove a better engine.
:'''Edward''': Do save him, sir. He saws wood and gives children rides.
:'''Vicar''': We'll see.
===''Old Iron'' [2.5]===
:'''James''': Edward is impossible. He clanks about like a lot of old iron, and he is so slow, he makes us wait.
:'''Narrator''': Thomas and Percy were indignant.
:'''Percy''': "Old iron"? Slow?
:'''Thomas''': Why, Edward could beat you in a race ''any'' day.
:'''James''': Really? I should like to see him do it.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Signalman''': ''[to the fireman]'' Two boys were on James' footplate, fiddling with the controls.
:'''Fireman''': Whew.
:'''Signalman''': They tumbled off and ran when James started.
:'''Narrator''': The signalman answered the telephone.
:'''Signalman''': Yes. He's here. Right. I'll tell him. ''[to the fireman again]'' The inspector's coming at once. He wants a shunter's pole and a coil of wire rope.
:'''Fireman''': What for?
:'''Signalman''': Search me. But you'd better get them quickly.
===''Thomas and Trevor (UK) / A New Friend for Thomas (US)'' [2.6]===
:'''Trevor''': I do like to keep busy all the time, and I do like company. Especially children's company.
:'''Edward''': Cheer up. The Fat Controller has work for you at his new harbor. I'm to take you to meet Thomas today.
:'''Trevor''': Oh! The harbor! The seaside! Children! That will be lovely!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Thomas''': Now I understand how useful a traction engine can be.
:'''Narrator''': The coaches were full of children. Trevor gave them rides along the harbor. He liked this best of all.
:'''Annie''': He's very kind.
:'''Clarabel''': He reminds me of Thomas.
===''Percy and the Signal'' [2.7]===
:'''Inspector''': Show a wheel, James. You can't stay here all day.
:'''James''': The Fat Controller told me to stay here. He sent a message this morning.
:'''Inspector''': He did not. How could he? He's away for a week.
:'''James''': Oh. Oh! Where's Percy?
:'''Narrator''': Percy had wisely disappeared.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Percy''': I say, you engines, I'm to take some trucks to Thomas' junction. The Fat Controller chose me especially. He must know I'm a really useful engine.
:'''James''': More likely, he wants you out of the way.
:'''Narrator''': Gordon looked across to James. They were making a plan.
:'''Gordon''': James and I were just speaking about signals at the junction. We can't be too careful about signals, but then, I needn't say that to a really useful engine like you, Percy.
:'''Narrator''': Percy felt flattered.
:'''James''': We had spoken of backing signals. They need extra special care, you know. Would you like me to explain?
:'''Percy''': No, thank you, James. I know all about signals.
===''Duck Takes Charge'' [2.8]===
:'''The Fat Controller''': Hello, Percy. You look tired.
:'''Percy''': Yes, Sir. I am, Sir. I don't know if I'm standing on my dome or on my wheels.
:'''The Fat Controller''': You look the right way up to me. Cheer up. The new engine is bigger than you, and can probably do the work alone. Would you like to help build my new harbor? Thomas and Toby will help.
:'''Percy''': Oh, yes, Sir! Thank you, Sir!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Fat Controller''': ''[to the bigger engines, who are whistling impatiently]'' Stop that noise!
:'''Gordon''': They won't let us in!
:'''The Fat Controller''': Duck, explain this behavior.
:'''Duck''': Beg pardon, Sir, but I'm a Great Western Engine. We do our work without fuss. But begging your pardon, Sir, Percy and I would be glad if you would inform these engines that we only take orders from you.
:''[the other engines furiously blow their whistles again]''
:'''The Fat Controller''': '''SILENCE!''' Percy and Duck, I'm pleased with your work today, but not with your behavior tonight. You have caused a disturbance. ''[to the big engines]'' As for you, you've been worse! You ''made'' the disturbance! Duck is quite right. This is my railway, and I give the orders!
===''Percy and Harold (UK) / Percy Proves a Point (US)'' [2.9]===
:'''Percy''': Hello. Who are you?
:'''Harold''': I'm Harold. Who are you?
:'''Percy''': I'm Percy. What whirly great arms you've got!
:'''Harold''': They're nice arms. I can hover like a bird. Don't you wish you could hover?
:'''Percy''': Certainly not. I like my rails, thank you.
:'''Harold''': I think railways are slow. They're not much use, and quite out of date.
:'''Narrator''': He whirled his arms and buzzed away. Percy found Toby at the top station.
:'''Percy''': I say, Toby, that Harold, that stuck-up whirlybird thing, says I'm slow and out of date! Just let him wait! I'll show him!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Fireman''': Listen, boys. Here's a song for Percy. ''[singing]'' Said Harold Helicopter to our Percy, You are slow! / Your railway is out of date and not much use you know! / But Percy with his stone trucks did the trip in record time / And we beat the helicopter on our old branch line!
===''The Runaway'' [2.10]===
:'''Annie and Clarabel''': ''[about Duck]'' Such nice manners. It really is a pleasure to go out with him.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Harold''': ''[after Thomas has finally stopped]'' Think nothing of it. Glad to be of service. Anytime.
:'''Inspector''': Phew! We must never let this happen again, Thomas.
:'''Narrator''': Wearily, Thomas agreed with him.
===''Percy Takes the Plunge'' [2.11]===
:'''Henry''': ''[to the engines beside Percy]'' What are you engines doing here?! This shed is for the Fat Controller's engines. Go away! ''[to himself]'' Silly things.
:''[the engines leave]''
:'''Percy''': They're not silly!
:'''Henry''': They ''are'' silly, and so are you. ''[mocks]'' "Water's nothing to an engine with determination." Ha!
:'''Percy''': Anyway, I'm not afraid of water. I like it!
:'''Narrator''': He ran off to the harbor singing.
:'''Percy''': ''[singing]'' Once an engine attached to a train
:was afraid of a few drops of rain.
:'''Henry''': No one ever lets me forget the time I wouldn't come out of the tunnel in case the rain spoiled my paint.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Henry''': ''[about to take Percy to the works]'' Well, well, well. Did you like the water?
:'''Percy''': No!
:'''Henry''': I am surprised. You need more determination, Percy. Water's nothing to an engine with determination, you know. Perhaps you will like it better next time.
:'''Narrator''': Percy is quite determined that there won't be a "next time".
===''Pop Goes the Diesel'' [2.12]===
:'''Trucks''': ''[groan while Diesel tries pulling them]'' We can't! We won't!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Trucks''': ''[singing at Diesel]'' Trucks are waiting in the yard, tackling them with ease'll
:Show the world what I can do. Gaily boasts the Diesel.
:In and out, he creeps about, like a big black weasel.
:When he pulls the wrong trucks out, '''POP''' goes the Diesel!
===''Dirty Work (UK) / Diesel's Devious Deed (US)'' [2.13]===
:'''Duck''': Shut up! ''[bumps the noisy trucks hard]'' I'm sorry our trucks were rude to you, Diesel.
:'''Narrator''': Diesel was still furious.
:'''Diesel''': It's all your fault. You made them laugh at me.
:'''Henry''': Nonsense. Duck would never do that. We engines have our differences but we never talk about them to the trucks. That would be dis-dis...
:'''Gordon''': Disgraceful!
:'''James''': Disgusting!
:'''Henry''': Despicable!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Duck arrives at Tidmouth Sheds, only to get blockaded by the 3 big engines]''
:'''Gordon, James, and Henry''': ''[let off a lot of steam]'' WHOOSH!
:'''James''': Keep out!
:'''Duck''': Stop fooling! I'm tired!
:'''Gordon, James, and Henry''': So are we. We're tired of ''you''. We like Diesel. We don't like you. You tell tales about us to the trucks.
:'''Duck''': I don't!
:'''Gordon, James, and Henry''': You do!
:'''Duck''': I ''don't!''
:'''Gordon, James, and Henry''': You ''DO!''
:'''Narrator''': The Fat Controller came to stop the noise.
:'''Gordon''': Duck called me a galloping sausage!
:'''James''': Rusty red scrap iron!
:'''Henry''': I'm old square wheels!
:'''The Fat Controller''': Well, Duck?
:'''Narrator''': Duck considered.
:'''Duck''': I only wish, Sir, that I thought of those names myself. If the dome fits...!
:''[the Fat Controller clears his throat]''
:'''Gordon, James, and Henry''': He made trucks laugh at us.
:'''Narrator''': The Fat Director recovered. He'd been trying not to laugh himself.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Did you, Duck?
:'''Duck''': Certainly not, Sir. No steam engine would be as mean as that.
===''A Close Shave (UK) / A Close Shave for Duck (US)'' [2.14]===
:'''Trucks''': Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! We've broken away! We've broken away! Chase him! Bump him! Throw him off the rails!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Duck''': ''[after crashing into the barber shop]'' Beg pardon, sir. Excuse my intrusion.
:'''Barber''': No, I won't. You frightened my customers. I'll teach you!
:'''Narrator''': And he lathered Duck's face all over. Poor Duck. Thomas was helping to pull the trucks away when the Fat Controller arrived.
:'''Barber''': I do not like engines popping through my walls!
:'''The Fat Controller''': I appreciate your feeling, but you must know that this engine and his crew have prevented a serious accident. It was a very close shave.
:'''Barber''': Oh. Oh, excuse me!
:'''Narrator''': He filled a basin of water to wash Duck's face.
:'''Barber''': I'm sorry. I didn't know you were being a brave engine.
:'''Duck''': That's all right, sir. I didn't know that, either.
:'''The Fat Controller''': You were very brave, indeed. I'm proud of you!
===''Better Late Than Never'' [2.15]===
:'''Thomas''': Time's time. Why should I keep my passengers waiting while Henry and James dawdle about all day on viaducts?
:'''Henry''': Don't blame me. If we hurried across the viaduct, it might collapse, and then, you'd have no passengers at all. What would you do then?
:'''Thomas''': Run my train on time, for one thing.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[Bertie's radiator is overheating]''
:'''Thomas''': What's the matter? You should be at the station now. You're late.
:'''Bertie''': I feel dreadful. All upset inside! And driver says he can't make me better. Thank goodness you're late, too. Can you take my passengers, please? They'll never get home, otherwise.
:'''Thomas''': Of course.
===''Break Van (UK) / Donald and Douglas (US)'' [2.16]===
:'''Donald''': Ye're a muckle nuisance! It's to leave ye behind I'd be wantin'.
:'''Brake Van''': You can't! I'm essential!
:'''Donald''': Och! Are you? Ye're naethin' but a screechin' an' a noise when all's said an' done. Spite Doggie, wad ye? TAKE THAT!
:''[he rams the van]''
:'''Brake Van''': OW! OOH!
:'''Donald''': There's more comin' should ye misbehave!
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[after Donald has crashed into a signal box]''
:'''The Fat Controller''': I am disappointed, Donald. I didn't expect such um... clumsiness from you. I had decided to send Douglas back and keep you.
:'''Donald''': I'm sorry, Sir.
:'''The Fat Controller''': I should think so, too. You have upset my arrangements. Now, James will have to help with the goods work while you have your tender mended. James won't like that.
===''The Deputation'' [2.17]===
:'''Percy''': Edward says we need... a... a depot station!
:'''Gordon''': Of course! The question is...
:'''Henry''': What is a... desperation?
:'''Percy''': It's when engines tell the Fat Controller something's wrong.
:'''Duck''': Did you say "tell the Fat Controller"?
:'''Narrator''': There was a long silence.
:'''Gordon''': I propose that Percy be our... uh... disputation.
:'''Percy''': I?! I can't!
:'''Henry''': Rubbish, Percy! It's easy.
:'''Gordon''': That's settled, then.
:'''Narrator''': Poor Percy wished it wasn't.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Fat Controller''': Hello, Percy. It's nice to be back.
:'''Narrator''': Percy jumped.
:'''Percy''': Uh, uh, yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Please, Sir!
:'''The Fat Controller''': You look nervous, Percy. What's the matter?
:'''Percy''': Please, Sir, they've made me a "desperation", Sir, uh, to speak to you, Sir. I don't like it, Sir.
:'''Narrator''': The Fat Controller pondered.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Do you mean a deputation, Percy?
:'''Percy''': Yes, Sir, please, Sir. Uh, it's Donald and Douglas, Sir. They say, Sir, that if you send them away, Sir, well, they'll be turned into scrap, Sir. That would be dreadful, Sir. Uh, please, Sir, don't send them away!
:'''The Fat Controller''': Thank you, Percy. That will do.
===''Thomas Comes to Breakfast'' [2.18]===
:'''Driver''': You know just where to stop, Thomas. You could almost manage it without me.
:'''Narrator''': Thomas had become conceited. He didn't realize his driver was joking.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Fat Controller''': ''[firmly]'' You are a very naughty engine.
:'''Thomas''': ''[with guilt]'' I know, Sir. I'm sorry, Sir.
:'''Narrator''': Thomas' voice was muffled behind his bush.
:'''The Fat Controller''': ''[calmly]'' You must go to the works and have your front mended. It will be a long job.
:'''Thomas''': Yes, Sir.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Meanwhile, a diesel rail car will do your work.
:'''Thomas''': A-A-A d-diesel, Sir?
:'''The Fat Controller''': Yes, Thomas. Diesels always stay in their sheds till they are wanted. Diesels never gallivant off to breakfast in stationmasters' houses.
===''Daisy'' [2.19]===
:''[after a milk truck has been coupled to her]''
:'''Daisy''': Do ''they'' expect ''me'' to pull ''that''?
:'''Driver''': Surely. You can pull ''1'' van.
:'''Daisy''': I won't! Percy can do it! He loves messing about with trucks.
:'''Narrator''': She began to shudder violently.
:'''Driver''': Nonsense. Come on, now. Back down!
:'''Narrator''': Daisy lurched backwards, she was so cross that she blew a fuse.
:'''Daisy''': Told you!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Daisy''': ''[having refused to pull the milk truck]'' It's fitter's orders!
:'''Passengers''': What is?
:'''Daisy''': My fitter's a very nice man. He comes every week and examines me carefully. "Daisy", he says, "Never, never pull. You're highly sprung, and pulling is bad for your swerves". So that's how it is.
:'''Stationmaster''': Stuff and nonsense!
:'''Shunter''': I can't understand. Whatever made Sir Topham Hatt send us such a feeble...?
:'''Daisy''': Feeble? FEEBLE?! Let me!
:'''Passengers''': Stop arguing! We're late already!
===''Percy's Predicament'' [2.20]===
:'''Toby''': Hello, Percy. I see Daisy's left the milk again.
:'''Percy''': I'll have to make a special journey with it, I suppose. Anyone would think I had nothing to do.
:'''Toby''': Tell you what, I'll take the milk. You take my trucks.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''The Fat Controller''': My engines work hard. I send lazy engines away!
:'''Narrator''': Daisy was ashamed.
:'''The Fat Controller''': However, Toby says you worked hard after Percy's accident. So, you shall have another chance.
:'''Daisy''': Thank you, Sir! I will work hard, Sir. Toby says he'll help me.
:'''The Fat Controller''': Excellent! What Toby doesn't know about Branch Line problems isn't worth knowing. Our Toby's an experienced engine!
===''The Diseasel'' [2.21]===
:'''Drivers''': ''[examine oil left at the scene of the crime]'' That's diesel.
:'''Bill''': It's a what'll?
:'''Ben''': A diseasel, I think. There's a notice about them in our shed.
:'''Bill''': "Coughs and sneezles spread diseasels."
:'''Ben''': You had a cough in your smokebox yesterday. It's ''your'' fault that the Diseasel came.
:'''Bill''': It isn't!
:'''Ben''': It is!
:'''Drivers''': Stop arguing, you 2. Let's go and rescue our trucks.
:'''Narrator''': Bill and Ben were horrified!
:'''Bill and Ben''': But the Diseasel will magic us away like the trucks!
:'''Drivers''': He won't magic us. We'll more likely magic ''him''!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''BoCo''': ''[looks up at Bill]'' Do you mind?
:'''Bill''': Yes. I do. I want my trucks, please.
:'''BoCo''': These are mine. Go away!
:'''Narrator''': Bill pretended to be frightened.
:'''Bill''': You're a big bully! You'll be sorry!
:'''Narrator''': He ran back and hid behind the trucks on the other side. Ben now came forward.
:'''Ben''': Truck-stealer!
:'''Narrator''': He ran away too. Bill took his place.
===''Wrong Road'' [2.22]===
:'''Gordon''': It's not fair.
:'''Edward''': What isn't fair?
:'''Gordon''': Letting branch line diesels pull main line trains.
:'''Edward''': Never mind, Gordon. I'm sure BoCo will let you pull his trucks sometimes.
:'''Narrator''': Gordon spluttered.
:'''Gordon''': I won't pull BoCo's dirty trucks! I won't run on branch lines!
:'''Edward''': Why not? It would be a nice change.
:'''Gordon''': The Fat Controller would never approve. Branch lines are vulgar!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Bill''': What's that?
:'''Ben''': SHH! It's Gordon.
:'''Bill''': It looks like Gordon, but it can't be. Gordon never comes on the branch lines. He thinks them vulgar.
:'''Narrator''': Gordon pretended he hadn't heard them.
:'''Ben''': If it isn't Gordon, it's just a pile of old iron.
:'''Bill''': Which we'd better take to the scrap yard.
:'''Ben''': No, Bill. This lot's useless for scrap. We'll take it to the harbor and dump it in the sea.
:'''Narrator''': Gordon was alarmed.
:'''Gordon''': I ''am'' Gordon! STOP! STOP!
===''Edward's Exploit'' [2.23]===
:''[Edward struggles to pull his train]''
:'''Henry''': Did you see him straining?
:'''James''': Positively painful.
:'''Gordon''': Just pathetic! He should give up and be preserved before it's too late!
:'''Duck''': Shut up! You're all jealous. Edward's better than any of you!
:'''BoCo''': You're right, Duck. Edward's old but he'll surprise us all.
:'''Edward''': ''[finally puffs out of Knapford]'' I've done it! We're off! I've done it! We're off!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Driver''': We've loosened the couplings, Edward. Now you can pick up your coaches one by one, just as you do with trucks.
:'''Edward''': That'll be much easier. Come on!
:'''Narrator''': The first coach moving helped to start the second and the second helped the third.
:'''Edward''': I've done it! I've done it!
:'''Driver''': Steady, boy. Well done, boy. You've got them, you've got them.
:'''Narrator''': And he listened happily to Edward's steady beat, as he forged slowly but surely ahead. At last, battered, weary, but unbeaten, Edward steamed in the big station.
===''Ghost Train (UK) / Percy's Ghostly Trick (US)'' [2.24]===
:''[in Percy's story, a ghost engine runs across the island]''
:'''Percy''': And every year, on the date of the accident, it runs again as a warning to others, plunging into the gap, shrieking like a lost soul!
:''[cut back to the quarry]''
:'''Thomas''': Percy, what are you talking about?
:'''Percy''': The ghost train. Driver saw it last night.
:'''Thomas and Toby''': Where?
:'''Percy''': He didn't say. Oh, it makes my wheels wobble to think of it!
:'''Thomas''': Ha! You're just a silly little engine. I'm not scared!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Toby''': Percy's had an accident!
:'''Thomas''': Poor engine! Botheration! That means I'll be late!
:'''Toby''': They've cleared the line for you, but there's something worse!
:'''Thomas''': Out with it, Toby! I can't wait all evening!
:'''Toby''': I've just seen something! ''[stutters]'' It looked like Percy's ghost! It said it was coming here to warn us!
:'''Thomas''': Ha! Who cares?! Don't be frightened, Toby. I'll take care of you.
:''[Percy creeps up behind the sheds]''
:'''Percy''': ''[imitates a ghost]'' Peep! Peep! Pip-Pip-Pip-PEEP! Let me in! Let me in!
:'''Toby''': No! No! Not by the smoke on my chimney-chim-chim!
:'''Percy''': I'll chuff, and I'll puff, and I'll break your door in!
:''[the doors slowly open]''
===''Woolly Bear'' [2.25]===
:'''Percy''': ''[whistles as if he were a ghost]'' WHEESH!
:'''Narrator''': Percy gave a ghostly whistle.
:'''Percy''': Don't be frightened, Thomas. It's only me!
:'''Thomas''': Your ugly fizz is enough to frighten everyone. You're like...
:'''Percy''': Ugly, indeed! I'm....
:'''Thomas''': A green caterpillar with red stripes. You crawl like one, too.
:'''Percy''': I don't!
:'''Thomas''': Who's been late every afternoon this week?
:'''Percy''': It's the hay!
:'''Thomas''': I can't help that. Time's time, and the Fat Controller relies on me to keep it. I can't if you crawl in the hay until all hours.
:'''Percy''': Green caterpillar, indeed!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Percy''': ''[arrives at the station, covered in hay]'' Sorry I'm late!
:'''Thomas''': Look what's crawled out of the hay.
:'''Percy''': What's wrong?
:'''Thomas''': Talk about hairy caterpillars. It's worth being late to have seen you.
===''Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree'' [2.26]===
:'''Thomas''': ''[in snow]'' Help!
:'''Donald''': Hush! I can hear something.
:'''Douglas''': Probably the wind.
:'''Thomas''': Help!
:'''Donald''': No! Listen!
:'''Thomas''': Over here!
:'''Donald''': Och! It's Thomas! Come on! The poor wee engine must be frozen to the frames in there!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Thomas''': ''[last line]'' It's no fun getting stuck in the snow. But it was worth it for this party. Happy Christmas, Percy. Happy Christmas, everyone!

[[File:Director Robert S. Mueller- III.jpg|thumb|Robert S. Mueller III]]
[[File:White House meeting on Boston Marathon bombing investigation.jpg|thumb|Mueller at the White House meeting on Boston Marathon bombing investigation]]
'''[[w:Robert Mueller|Robert Swan Mueller III]]''' ([[August 7]], [[1944]] – [[March 20]], [[2026]]) was an [[w:United States|American]] [[w:Attorney at law|attorney]] who served as the sixth [[w:Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation|Director]] of the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] from 2001 to 2013. A conservative [[w:Republican Party (United States)|Republican]], he was appointed by President [[George W. Bush]]; President [[Barack Obama]] gave his original ten-year term a two-year extension, making him the longest-serving FBI Director since [[J. Edgar Hoover]]. In May 2017 he was appointed to head the [[w:Mueller special counsel investigation|Special Counsel investigation]] of [[w:Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections|Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections]] and related matters, resulting in the delivery of the [[Mueller Report]] in 2019.
==Quotes ==
* I am convinced that there are only two types of [[companies]]: those that have been hacked and those that will be. And even they are converging into one category: companies that have been hacked and will be hacked again.

* The order [[w:Mueller special counsel investigation|appointing me special counsel]] authorized us to investigate actions that could obstruct the [[investigation]]. We conducted that investigation and kept the office of the acting Attorney General apprised of the progress of our [[work]]. After that investigation, if we had confidence that [[Donald Trump|the President]] clearly did not commit a [[crime]], we would have said so. We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the President did commit a crime. The introduction to volume two of [[Mueller Report|our report]] [[explains]] that [[decision]].

=== CNN Interview (2013) ===
<small>[https://www.cnn.com/2013/08/22/politics/fbi-mueller-interview/index.html August 2013 interview with CNN]</small>
* After [[September 11 attacks|September 11th]], you had core [[Al-Qaeda|al Qaeda]] in [[Pakistan]] and [[Afghanistan]] with (Osama[[Osama bin Laden|) bin Laden]]. Bin Laden was killed. You have al Qaeda growing in countries like [[Somalia]], but most particularly in [[Yemen]]. And there's still substantial threat out of Yemen. And now you have the countries in the [[Arab Spring]]: [[Tunisia]], [[Libya]], [[Syria]], [[Mali]]; [[Egypt]] most recently, where they're breeding grounds for [[Islamic extremism|radical extremists]] who may not stay there, but may present an attack. And, finally, you have, within the [[United States]], the growth of [[Terrorism in the United States|homegrown, radicalized extremists]] who are radicalized on the [[Internet]] and then get their instructions for developing explosives on the Internet, as well.
* I think there's a good chance we would have prevented at least a part of 9/11. In other words, there were four planes. There were almost 20 — 19 persons involved. I think we would have had a much better chance of identifying those individuals who were contemplating that attack.
* I would query about what do you mean in terms of civil liberties. ... Do we exchange information in ways we did not before? Absolutely. You can say that that is a — to the extent that you exchange information between [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]], [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], [[National Security Agency|NSA]] and the like — you could characterize that as somehow giving up liberties. But the fact of the matter is, it's understandable and absolutely necessary if you want to protect the security of the United States.
* When we had these [[Africa|African]] bombings of those embassies, we had an intelligence service in there that helped us. We had law enforcement agencies that helped us. We had access. In Libya, you have a government that does not control most of [[Libya]], or a good portion of Libya. And consequently, the ambassador, the State Department, ourselves — were pushing to get in there at the earliest possible moment. And that ended up being a couple of weeks down the road. But that does not mean that we have not very thoroughly investigated that and are continuing to investigate it. And I do believe the persons responsible will be brought to justice.
=== Aaron Harber Interview (2015) ===
<small>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmpz6D1cPCA 2015 interview with Aaron Harber]</small>
* I think we're certainly vulnerable when it comes to the type of information that is out there. The type of information that is out there and available to those that want to find it and want to damage and harm to us. We're also to a certain extent vulnerable by the fact that we live by the rules passed by [[United States Congress|Congress]]. If I want to get an application before the court to intercept somebody's conversations, I have to show probable cause to believe that person is affiliated with a terrorist group. And if I don't get the probable cause, I can't do it. And we've had instances, Awlaki, a relatively famous individual exporter of the type of terrorism we've seen in the United States, was doing videos for a substantial period of time before the Fort Hood shooting, and it was only after that that we found out he was involved in the operations. Any other country, they may well have been up on his wire beforehand, because there's no responsibility of showing a court that there's probable cause to believe that this individual is involved in terrorist activities.
* You really don't think about it as you go through it; you just try to do the right thing at the right time.
* Being a FBI agent, being a police officer in [[Denver]], Aurora, or any community is a tremendously rewarding job. To a certain extent, it goes up and down. It can be thankless as well. But you're really serving your community if you're serving as a police officer. I prosecuted homicide cases in Washington for almost three years, where I spent much, if not most of my time in the courtrooms along with homicide victims' families and the like, and it tears apart a community, and there's no more valuable function to the safety and security of the community than the police forces.
* The problem with training is it's the last thing on the budget list. It's the first thing to get cut. And it should not be.
* Cyberbullying, I know, it's being handled, generally, on the state side with state legislation. I look at it, frankly, as a father with children, with their ability to use Facebook and the like, knowing that anything you put on [[Facebook]] is going to be there and be there and be there. And who at that age understands the consequences of doing something when you're 16 that may come back to haunt you when you're 25 and you're seeking a job not in the private sector, necessarily, but in the public sector that you really want but some of the things that you've said or done or taken back then preclude you from exploring those options.
=== [[Robert Mueller Testimony before House Intelligence Committee]] (July 24, 2019) ===
* '''[T]he [[w:Special prosecutor|Special Counsel]] regulations effectively gave me the role of {{w|United States Attorney}}. As a result, we structured our investigation around evidence for possible use in prosecution of federal crimes. We did not reach... {{w|counterintelligence}} conclusions. We did, however, set up processes... to identify and pass counterintelligence information... to the FBI.''' Members of our office periodically briefed the FBI about counterintelligence information. In addition, there were agents and analysts from the FBI who were not on our team, but whose job it was to identify counterintelligence information in our files, and to disseminate that information to the FBI. With these reasons, '''questions about what the FBI has done with the counterintelligence information obtained from our investigation should be directed to the FBI.'''

* Second) the [[w:United States Department of Justice|Justice Department]] has asserted privileges concerning investigative information and decisions, ongoing matters within the Justice Department, and deliberations within our office. These are Justice Department privileges that I will respect.<br />'''The department has released a letter discussing the restrictions on my testimony. I therefore will not be able to answer questions about certain areas... of public interest. For example, I am unable to address questions about the opening of the [[w:Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections|FBI's Russia investigation]]''', which occurred months before my appointment, '''or matters related to the... [[w:Trump–Russia dossier|Steele dossier]].''' These matters are the subject of ongoing review by the department. Any questions on these topics should therefore be directed to the FBI, or the Justice Department.

== Quotes about Mueller ==
[[File:Women's March 2018 (24935210867).jpg|thumb|"It's Mueller Time" sign at the Des Moines, Iowa Women's March in 2018.]]
[[File:January 2025 Official Presidential Portrait of Donald J. Trump.jpg|thumb|Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! ~ [[Donald Trump]]]]
* '''It's Mueller Time.'''
** Anonymously-sourced but popular slogan that has circulated about Mueller since his appointment as Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice. A play on the popular Miller Brewing Company slogan "It's Miller Time", originating in the 1970s.
* Mueller Ain't Going Away
** Anonymously-sourced popular slogan that has circulated since Mueller's appointment as Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice; a parody of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" as both are abbreviated to "MAGA".
* [[Donald Trump|Trump]]'s cavalier attitude toward the Russian security threat has had a predictable yet devastating consequence. [[Moscow]] has not been deterred from attacking American interests. It has been emboldened. They continue to take advantage of the United States, around the world and on our own soil. Former director of National Intelligence [[Dan Coats]] testified in January 2019 that Russia was still sowing social, racial, and political discord in the United States through influence operations, and several months later, Robert Mueller said the same. "It wasn't a single attempt," he testified to Congress. "They're doing it as we sit here. And they expect to do it during the next campaign." This should be a national scandal, a cause for outrage and action against the Russian government. Instead, it's being ignored where it should matter most- in the Oval Office. Reporters asked Trump about Mueller's assessment days later and quizzed him again on whether he'd pressed Putin on the topic. "You don't really believe this," he shot back. "Do you believe this? Okay, fine. We didn't talk about it." Then he boarded Marine One.
** Anonymous, ''A Warning'' (2019), p. 167

==Hydia==
* Why can't you be evil like I taught you? Why won't you misbehave the way you should? You never use the guillotine I bought you! You just aren't bad enough for your own good!
* Why can't you be mean, like Aunt Eureka? She fed her victims till they almost burst! Then cooked them with a smidgen of paprika. She always did her best to do her worst!
* We're witches, wizards and warlocks! We're the reason honest people purchase doorlocks! We've turned princes into frogs, peasants into pheasants, soldiers and sailors into swine! We've never been accused of being angels, but as for being devils, we're divine!
* One evil deed, that's all I asked! Oh, you're such a disappointment! I've given you everything a witch could want! Shabby clothes, a rotten place to live, all the foul-tasting food you can eat! And what do I get back? Nothing! Malevia over at Nightmare Heights, her daughter made Easter Sunday come up on a Tuesday! What've you done? Zip! A big fat zero!
==Reeka==
* Draggle dear, I just now had a flash! I still owe you a birthday gift or two! I suffered from a lack of ready cash, but now I'd like to make it up to you! I'll do the dirty work! I'll handle all the dirty work! Each humble job I'll assume! I'll be working overtime, collecting mold and filth and slime... all you have to do is get the phlume!
==Dialogue==
:'''Baby Lickety Split''': Hurry, Spike! Look! This is a great place!
:'''Spike''': A great place for what? My feet are killing me.
:'''Baby Lickety Split''': To fly! Like Wind Whistler and North Star!
:'''Spike''': But they're Pegasus Ponies! You're just an Earthling. You can't fly.
:'''Baby Lickety Split''': Can too. I can do anything. Watch.
:'''Spike''': No! You'll get hurt!
:''[Lickety Split jumps off the cliff with Spike grasping her tail]''
:'''Baby Lickety Split''': We're flying!
:'''Spike''': [as they descend] We're falling!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Draggle''': I thought we didn't need anybody else! Is that another lie?
:'''Reeka''': Put us down, Rainbow, please put us down!
:'''Hydia''': No! Don't put us down! Don't do that!
:''[the Rainbow drops the witches, who fall into the Smooze in the volcano]''
:'''Reeka''': You! You and your smooze!
:'''Draggle''': Oh, it's all your fault... Mama!
:'''Hydia''': This is NOT my fault! And don't call me Mama!
:'''Draggle''': Mama!
:'''Reeka''': Mother!
:'''Draggle''': Mommy!
:'''Reeka''': Ma!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Draggle''': Y'know, maybe we should get a room! Maybe it's time to move out, get a place of our own!
:'''Reeka''': Live with you? I'd rather get the phlume!
:'''Draggle''': Well, that's fine with me!
:'''Reeka''': ''[laughing]'' I love it when the wolf tries to eat Little Red!
:'''Draggle''': Me too! But she always gets away.
:'''Reeka''': Aah, but maybe this time she won't! Turn the page!
:'''Draggle''': You turn it! I turned the last one!
:'''Reeka''': But I'm eating!
:'''Draggle''': Oh, you're always eating!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Shady''': Can I go with you? I never get to go anywhere.
:'''Gusty''': Oh no! Shady's nothing but bad luck!
:'''Shady''': Just give me a chance. My luck's bound to change... I think.
:'''Magic Star''': Everyone deserves a chance, Shady. You're in.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Hydia''': Gorgeous! Ponyland is turning dark, dank, and dreary! The little ponies are doomed!
:'''Draggle''': Then we'll be all alone up here.
:'''Hydia''': Splendid! We don't need anybody else!
:'''Reeka''': ''[eating]'' Want some?
:'''Draggle''': What is it?
:'''Reeka''': Stuffed bat wings! Mmm, good!
:'''Draggle''': ''[eating one]'' Are you sure we don't need anyone?
<hr width=50%>
:'''Magic Star''': I heard something that time!
:'''Gusty''': Well, I didn't.
:'''Shady''': Maybe it's going to rain. Maybe we'll get all wet and catch pneumonia!
:'''Gusty''': Oh, I knew you shouldn't have come.
:'''Shady''': No, I like the rain. I love it.
:'''Magic Star''': We'll worry about the rain later.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Draggle''': Well... well... well... when we got the stuff to make the Smooze, we uh, we uh, we forgot the phlume!
:'''Hydia''': You forgot the PHLUME?
:'''Reeka''': It was an honest mistake, Mama!
:'''Hydia''': What... did you... call me?
:'''Reeka''': Sorry, Hydia! I didn't mean to call you Mama!
:'''Hydia''': I'm giving you one last chance, girls! Get the phlume, or GET A ROOM!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Shady''': Oh, Gusty, look at you! It's all my fault! I know it!
:'''Gusty''': Yeah, it is! You're bad luck!
:'''Magic Star''': It's not your fault, Shady.
:'''Gusty''': Yes, it is! Yes, it is!
:'''Bushwoolie #1''': It's her fault! I can hardly move!
:'''Bushwoolie #3''': Yeah, her fault!
:'''Magic Star''': No, it's not. You're just grumpy because you've been smoozed.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Hydia''': Now in order to make the Smooze, we'll need a few things... ''[shoves a long list into Reeka and Draggle's faces]'' Go get 'em!
:'''Reeka and Draggle''': ''[reading the list]'' Um, mold, mildew, muck, mire, fungus, slime, rust, and... and... PHLUME!
:'''Hydia''': Yes, phlume!
:'''Draggle''': Not phlume, Hydia, don't make us get phlume! Please don't!
:'''Reeka''': Look at all the other things on the list that says "not phlume!"
<hr width=50%>
:''[trying to trick eachother into getting the phlume]''
:'''Draggle''': Why, Reeka dear, you look a little pale! I fear you aren't feeling at your best! I hope you haven't come down with a chill... Perhaps you need to take a little rest!
:'''Reeka''': What about all the work we have to do? You're not going to do it all alone, are you?
:'''Draggle''': Why, Reeka darling, what are sisters for? Not to worry, not to worry! I'll do the dirty work! I'll handle all the dirty work! You go relax in your room! I'll collect the muck and mire; I wouldn't want you to perspire; All you have to do is get the phlume!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Spike''': Where'd you learn that?
:'''Baby Lickety Split''': I made it up.
:'''Spike''': Well, you'd better un-make it quick.
:'''Baby Lickety Split''': You didn't like it?
:'''Spike''': Oh, it's great, Lickety Split, but if you do that in the show, you'll mess up everyone else. You're not the star, you know.
:'''Baby Lickety Split''': I can do whatever I want. Besides, maybe someday, I will be a star.
:'''Spike''': I hope so. Just don't do that step, okay?
<hr width=50%>
:''[Reeka and Draggle look down a chasm]''
:'''Reeka''': Ahgg, you in there?
:''[a roar fills the air]
:'''Draggle''': He's in there!
:'''Reeka''': We need your help, Ahgg!
:''[Another roar]''
:'''Draggle''': Please, Ahgg, don't be difficult!
:''[Another roar as two giant legs swipe at the witches]''
:'''Reeka''': [holding out a plate] Nice Ahgg, here! I fixed something special for you!
:''[Ahgg grabs the plate from Reeka. Crunching is heard]''
:'''Draggle''': Ah, he likes it!
:'''Reeka''': Does that mean you'll help?
:''[a giant belch comes from the chasm]''
:'''Draggle''': Is that a yes or a no?
<hr width=50%>
:'''Reeka''': What a day! First the phlume, now Ahgg!
:'''Draggle''': We have to do everything!
:'''Reeka''': This is it, I mean it! I'm through after this! From now on Hydia can do everything herself!
:'''Draggle''': Are you going to tell her?
:'''Reeka''': Don't bother me!

==Dialogue==
:'''Vince McMahon''': Let's try to remain calm here. We don't want to jump to any crazy conclusions.
:'''Both''': Mr. McMahon!
:'''Shaggy''': Like in the flesh. I can't believe I'm face to face with Vinnie Mac.
:'''Scooby''': The Boss!
:'''Shaggy''': The Higher Power!
:'''Scooby''': The Mac Attack!
:'''Shaggy''': The Mac Daddy!
:'''Scooby''': The Daddy Mac!
:'''McMahon''': Yes. ''[clears throat]'' Thanks for that trip down memory lane.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Daphne''': Um... exactly how many more play by play Scooby Snack attacks do we have to endure before WWE City?
:'''Shaggy''': Like, we brought everything we had. Scooby and I need to keep our energy up so we can cheer like crazy at the main event.
:'''Velma''': There's so many boxes, I can't even see the luggage.
:'''Shaggy''': Luggage?
:'''Both''': You didn't pack the luggage?!
:'''Scooby-Doo''': Uh-oh!
:'''Daphne''': Of all the food induced insane things you two have done, this absolutely takes the cake.
:'''Both''': Mmm... cake!
:'''Daphne''': I mean it!
:'''Shaggy''': Like, what's the big deal? We all wear the same outfits every single day anyway.
<hr width=50%>
:''[Fred, Daphne, Velma and McMahon walk on the flattened ring. Fred approaches the motionless Ghost Bear]''
:'''Fred''': Now let's see who the Ghost Bear ''really'' is.
:''[Fred removes the Ghost Bear mask revealing Cookie. The crowd gasps in surprise]''
:'''John''': Cookie?!
:'''McMahon''': Cookie?!
:'''All''': Cookie?!
:'''Ruben''': Uncle Cookie! Why? WWE is your life.
:'''Velma''': WWE ''was'' his life. But sadly, your Uncle Cookie never got the glory.
:'''Daphne''': And his injury put him out of the spotlight.
:'''Fred''': Permanently.
:'''Daphne''': He started to truly resent WWE because he knew he could never be the champion he always dreamed of being.
:'''Velma''': That resentment grew into hatred over the years, as he trained others to be what he could not.
:'''Fred''': That's when he developed his plan for revenge.
:''[Flashbacks show Cookie in a suit of the Ghost Bear, scenes of Scooby stealing the belt and the chaos from throughout the movie]''
:'''Daphne''': But that wouldn't be enough. He needed a pawn to steal the championship belt.
:'''Velma''': That's when he devised the idea of hacking into a video game and placing post-hypnotic suggestions into it.
:'''Daphne''': That game would become part of a contest, which Cookie set up with fake emails he sent throughout WWE.
:'''Velma''': That's why he used the bear to attack your video game studio. To cover his tracks.
:'''Fred''': The contest assured that only the most skilled pawn would arrive at WWE City to aid in the theft. Cookie then used flashing lights to activate Scooby's post-hypnotic programming.
:'''Daphne''': When Cookie identified the belt in Scooby's bed as the ''championship'' belt, he was lying. He'd already switched them.
:'''Velma''': With Scooby taking the blame, Cookie was free to carry out his ultimate plan.
:'''Fred''': Which was to turn out the lights, and with the help of the bear, create so much panic and injury...
:''[The Ghost Bear runs toward our view. Back in reality]''
:'''Fred''': ...That WrestleMania would be completely ruined and WWE would never recover.
:'''John''': But thanks to Fred here, we got the lights back on pretty quick. Good work!
:''[He hits Fred's back with his hand]''
:'''Fred''': Ah, um, thanks.
:''[Daphne puts her hand on Fred's shoulder]''
:'''McMahon''': And the real championship belt, where is it now?
:'''Velma''': Elementary, Mr. McMahon. Cookie is wearing it.
:''[John opens the Ghost Bear suit's chest and pulls the real championship belt off Cookie]''
:'''John''': Sorry, Cookie. The championship belt isn't for cheaters, it's for champions.
:''[He raises his hand showing the championship belt to the cheering crowd. Richards faces McMahon]''
:'''Richards''': Good call, hiring these kids, sir. I thought they might come in handy.
:'''McMahon''': ''[annoyed]'' Just get Cookie out of here!
:'''Richards''': ''[scared]'' Yes, sir. Will do, sir. You bet.
:''[She motions the officers as if to say, "Take him away, boys."]''
:'''Velma''': A championship belt was the icing on the cake, Mr. McMahon. Cookie could live off its golden jewels for the rest of his life.
:''[As John gives McMahon the belt, the crowd boos Cookie as he is taken into custody]''
:'''Cookie''': ''[last words, enraged]'' And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids, and your game crazy dog!

'''''{{w|Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race}}''''' is a Canadian animated reality television series which lampoons the conventions commonly found in reality television. The series takes place around the world and features pairs of contestants, rather than teams, in the style of the reality series it is parodying.
=Episodes=
===''None Down, Eighteen To Go [7.01-7.02]''===
====''Part 1''====
:'''Don''': ''[first lines]'' This is [[w:Toronto|Toronto]], the capital of North America, birthplace of funk where the Albino panther roams free.
:'''Albino Panther''': ROAR!
:'''Don''': Beneath my size-13 brogues, 18 teams are arriving at this historic train station ready to embark on a race around the world. I'm your host, Don. And this is ''The Ridonculous Race''!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': Not to the death? Okay. Let’s meet the teams that aren’t racing to the death. Carrie and Devin, best friends.
:''[Best Friends' interview]''
:'''Carrie''': I met Devin in the sandbox and we haven't spent a day apart since. If anyone can win this race, it's us.
:'''Devin''': Yeah. I know Carrie so well. It's like we're… ''[noticing his partner's dreamy look]'' Uh, what are you doing?
:'''Carrie''': Oh…uh, link check, for the camera! Whoo-hoo, race!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': Emma and Kitty, ''actual'' sisters.
:''[Sisters' interview]''
:'''Emma''': I'm studying international law so, that's gonna give us a real edge. Which is good 'cause, we're here to win.
:'''Kitty''': And to see the world. Meet hot guys, and have some fun.
:'''Emma''': If there's time for that which there won't be so, let's focus on winning, okay? ''[Kitty sighs]'' Good.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': The totally-in-love daters, Stephanie and Ryan.
:''[Daters' interview]''
:'''Ryan''': Stephanie and I met at the gym two months and six days ago, and we've been going steady ever since!
:'''Stephanie''': We're so excited! Neither of us has ever traveled before. There's so much to discover like, what do chocolate protein bars taste like in China?
:'''Ryan''': I was just wondering that!
:'''Stephanie''': No way!
:''[They start kissing and making out]''
:'''Don''': Josee and Jacques, ice dancers.
:''[Ice Dancers' interview]''
:'''Jacques''': We know how to win. We've won gold everywhere!
:'''Josee''': Except…the Olympics. He dropped me so we only got silver.
:'''Jacques''': ''[cries]'' I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT! ''[runs off]''
:'''Josee''': Jacques! Silver is his ''least'' favorite color.
:'''Don''': Geoff and Brody, life-long friends and surfer dudes.
:'''Geoff''': ''[chuckles]'' Goin' around the world on someone else's dime. Sweet! ''[to the camera, calling out to Bridgette]'' Hey, Bridgette! Love ya, babe! ''[interview]'' My girl and I did Total Drama, but she's surfing her way around Australia right now. So, boom, entré my bud, Brody!
:'''Brody''': Yeah guy! Bros forever! G and B for the W-I-N!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': Lorenzo and Chet, new stepbrothers.
:''[Stepbrothers' interview]''
:'''Lorenzo''': My dad married his mom last year, but we still hate each other. So they're making us do this. Jerks!
:'''Chet''': Don't (you dare) call my mom a jerk, JERK! ''[pushes Lorenzo aside]''
:'''Lorenzo''': Shut your word-hole, JERK! ''[pushes Chet in return but comes back and starts tackling him]''
:'''Don''': Also racing… Tom and Jen. Highly attractive fashion bloggers with impeccable taste. I told you not to let the teams write their own cards.
:''[Fashion Bloggers' interview]''
:'''Jen''': Hey-hey, to all our blog followers out there! Wish us luck!
:'''Tom''': I bet "Jen we could win the race", but I didn't think she'd ''actually'' take it up on me.
:'''Jen''': I put my mind to something and it happens.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': Ellody and Mary, scientific geniuses who say they will use their winnings to support the science community.
:''[Geniuses' interview]''
:'''Ellody''': Astrophysics is underfunded. Reality shows offer monetary prizes. Conundrum solved.
:'''Don''': Leonard and Tammy, dedicated live-action role players… whatever that is.
:''[LARPers' interview]''
:'''Leonard''': ''Pahkitew Island'' was tough. But with Tammy's new spells, huzzah! We'll claim the dragon's eye! That's dwarfish for one million.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': Welcome, contestants! This is the starting line for your 26-part race around the world. Each part ends at a Chill Zone. Get there fast, because the last team to stand on the carpet of completion, may be cut from the competition. But the first team to reach our last Chill Zone, will win… $1,000,000!
:''[The contestants all cheer in excitement]''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Geoff''': Hey, who pushed all the buttons?
:'''MacArthur''': Gotta take the stairs.
:'''Sanders''': Or, we could just wait.
:'''MacArthur''': Hustle!
:'''Jen''': ''[shrugs]'' Meh. This'll probably still be faster.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Sanders''': Thighs on fire. So…queasy.
:'''MacArthur''': So you're one of those skinny-fat people who can't climb ten flights of stairs without spewing chunks huh? What do you do? Yoga?
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': As most of the teams continue to climb or wait… and wait… and wait some more, the Fashion Bloggers are first to reach the observation deck, but the scare might be too much for them.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Kitty''': ''[enjoying the breezy wind]'' THIS IS SO COOL!
:'''Emma''': Focus! This is life or death.
:'''Kitty''': Come on, look at what we're doing, it's incredible! I feel so alive!
:'''Emma''': Yeah. Make sure they put that quote on your gravestone.
:'''Jen''': Promise me you'll never let go!
:'''Tom''': NEVER! Can you believe people pay to do this?
:'''Laurie''': We're doing this for you, Mother Earth! Don't kill us!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Ellody''': Well that was illuminating. ''[interview]'' Based on the splatter, the wind velocity was 45 knots. Twenty more, and we'd be splattered.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Carrie''': Zipline? I always wanted to do that!
:'''Gerry''': Zipline? I never wanted to do that!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': The teams have arrived, and the flights have been booked. Flight #1 will carry Father & Son, Best Friends, Daters, Police Cadets, Ice Dancers, and the Reality TV Pros. Flight #2 carries the Sisters, Vegans, Fashion Bloggers, Mom & Daughter, Rockers, and Geniuses. And flight #3 has the LARPers, Goths, Surfer Dudes, Adversity Twins, Stepbrothers, and Tennis Rivals. Who will win the next jaunt in our race? Tune in next time to find out. ''The Ridonculous Race''…is to be continued!
====''Part 2''====
Twin #1: Sanitizer?
Twin #2: No need. I made a point of not touching anything. Juice?
(Twins Shriek After The Larpers Popped Up.)
<hr width=50%>
Stack: ''[on the telephone]'' Your plan won't work, Dr. B! We're not gonna become friends, because Lincoln is a jerk, that's why! Can't you just divorce Mr. And Mrs. Loud?
Lincoln: Hey, is that my mom and dad?
Stack: No. Dr. B!
Lincoln: ''[swipes the telephone out of Stack’s hand]'' DAD, MOM, YOU'VE GOTTA DIVORCE STACK’S DOCTOR!
Stack: (Angrily): QUIET!
:''[Stack The Orange Robot And Lincoln Loud start fighting over the telephone]''
Lincoln: (Angrily): SHUT UP!
Stack: (Angrily): DR. B!
Lincoln: (Angrily): MOM!!! DAD!!!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': [[w:Morocco|Morocco]]. Originally named [[w:Italy|Italy]] until it was discovered there already ''was'' an Italy. Home to scorchingly hot foods, as well as scorchingly hot deserts. Flight number one has just landed. Now the teams need to find the Don box, and collect their next travel tip.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Laurie & Ellody''': Cumin, cinnamon, paprika, saffron, ginger.
:'''Ellody''': That was surprisingly elementary.
:'''Laurie''': I know, right?
:'''Don''': As more teams reach the spice kiosk, flight #3 has finally arrived in Morocco. They'll need to hurry if they hope to catch any of the teams already in search of the culinary.

:'''Laurie''': Our camel benefit was beautiful. And deserts are really hot. If we win the million, we're a launching a stop riding camels campaign.
:'''Miles''': "Take hikes, not humps."
:'''Laurie''': Or, we could call it something else.
<hr width=50%>
:'''MacArthur''': I can't take this heat. Someone turn off the sun.
:'''Flain''': Oh man! The heat is so bad!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Miles''': ''[to the LARPers as they pass by; protesting]'' Take hikes, not humps!
:'''Laurie''': Okay, that slogan is really growing on me. ''[interview]'' Miles and I became friends when we (first) met at an anti-meat meeting.
:'''Miles''': When Laurie suggested we just call them "ings" instead of "meetings", I knew we were gonna get along.
<hr width=50%>
:''[Brody and Mary eat their stew bowls while their partners watch]''
:'''Geoff''': When I first met Brody, he was eating a cat's hairball on a dare. Ha ha. It was pure awesome.
:'''Ellody''': I met Mary at an engineering student's potluck dinner. We both brought pie chart pie. ''[giggles]'' We're quite whimsical.
:'''Geoff''': Ha ha, pies.
<hr width=50%>
:''[Chet is about to retch after seeing Owen eating a camel's drool]''
:'''Lorenzo''': Do ''not'' spit that out, Chet, or we'll lose! ''[interview]'' My dad is a motivational speaker, and has taught me everything there is to know. Swallow! Do it! DO IT!
:'''Chet''': ''[swallows]'' My barf is actually less spicy than the stew.
:''[Crimson, Spud, Emma, and Jay all retch to prevent themselves from vomiting as the LARPers and Vegans arrive]''
:'''Leonard''': We have to eat our own barf?!
:''[A camel pukes on Miles and she ]''
:'''Laurie''': ''[gasps in surprise]'' Real organic camel munch!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Carrie''': NO, i think we're maybe lost. ''[a bird flies in Carrie's hand]'' Aw, (snickers)
<hr width=50%>
:'''Lorenzo''': We're done!
:'''Chet''': ''[holding his stomach in pain]'' Oh, I don't feel so good.
:'''Lorenzo''': That’s 'cause you ate puke, puke-eater!
:'''Chet''': You’re a puke-water watcher!
<hr width=50%>
:''[Leonard and Tammy both got eliminated because they stopped to use "magic" to slow down the two remaining pairs but ultimately failed and were the last team to arrive to the Chill Zone]''
:'''Don''': The Ridonculous Race is about skill, it's about determinization. It's not about magic. You're done!
:'''Tammy''': Time reversal spell! ''[throws confetti]''
:'''Don''': Security!
===''French Is An Eiffel Language [7.03]''===
:'''Devin''': ''[reading the tip]'' Aw, sweet! Looks like we're going to Paris!
:'''Carrie''': ''[gasps in surprise; excitedly]'' Oh yeah?
:'''Don''': [[w:Paris|Paris]], [[w:France|France]]. Home of the Mona Lisa, tiny coffee's and other things that annoy me like you wouldn't believe. ''[Cut to him standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower]'' Once in Paris, teams must make their way here, to the [[w:Eiffel Tower|Eiffel Tower]] and find their next tip.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Miles''': We walked our camel through the desert yesterday instead of riding him, so that way he can ''stay'' hydrated.
:'''Laurie''': And today, we're ''pedaling'' our moped so we don't use its fuel. ''[gasps in realization]'' I wish there was a way we could give this moped to our camel, right?
<hr width=50%>
:''[The Ice Dancers are the first to reach the Eiffel Tower]''
:'''Josee''': Gold medal, whoo! ''[yells in fear as the Police Cadets crash into them from behind]''
:'''MacArthur''': Nailed it! ''[gets a tip from the Don box]'' Huh. It's a Botch or Watch.
:'''Don''': In this Botch or Watch, whoever didn't eat the stew in Morocco must draw a caricature of their partner. When this local French ''artiste'' approves of the drawing, they'll receive their next tip.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Devin''': ''[as the local ''artiste'' rejects their caricature]'' What do you mean "no?" She got an "A" in art last semester. ''[the artiste shows him the caricature of him laying down with a six-pack]'' Oh, I see! It's too realistic.
:''[Carrie blushes in embarrassment, not knowing what came over her]''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Kitty''': Emma's always been the serious one, but ever since her boyfriend, Jake, broke up with her two years ago, she's been super-
:'''Emma''': ''[covers her sister's mouth] Fine.'' I've been super fine.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Ennui''': This place could be an amusement park or a camp for kids.
<hr width=50%>
:'''MacArthur''': Well, if it isn't the smiling silvertons.
:'''Josee''': ''[kicks the cheese out the way, revealing the next tip, in sign form]'' I hate silver!
:'''Jacques''': ''[reading]'' '''"Take your cheese and sail away to where Mona Lisa's on display."'''
:'''Sanders''': The Louvre!
:'''Don''': The Louvre-- home to many paintings I was asked to stop touching.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Josee''': Bye! You stink worse than this cheese float!
:'''MacArthur''': Too bad you forgot your oars!
:'''Jacques''': Darn it!
:'''Josee''': Jacques, you were supposed to get the oars!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Laurie''': The thought of coming last made us realize that we needed to step up our game.
:'''Miles''': Yeah, we were super charged up.
:'''Gerry''': ''[as the Vegans pedal past him and Pete; surprised]'' How is that possible? We're athletes. They eat bird seeds and dust!
:''[The Vegans are then seen eating bird seeds and dust during their interview]''
:'''Laurie''': Pass the bird seeds.
:'''Miles''': You want some dust on that?
<hr width=50%>
:''[Although it initially seemed like they tied with the Reality TV Pros, the Tennis Rivals got eliminated after Don pointed out that Gerry's foot wasn't fully on the carpet of the Chill Zone]''
:'''Don''': Reality TV Pros, your penalty is up!
:''[The TV Pros and Tennis Rivals jump into the Chill Zone carpet at the same time]''
:'''Gerry''': It's a tie! We all stay!
:'''Don''': Not quite. I'm afraid you're going home.
:'''Pete''': What? Why?!
:'''Don''': Your foot wasn't completely on the carpet, it was just out.
===''Mediterranean Homesick Blues [7.04]''===
:'''Don''': Yesterday's Chill Zone was the Louvre, which is today's starting point. Teams will start in the order they finished, which means Cadets are-- ''[The Ice Dancers walk up instead of the Police Cadets; halts them]'' Whoa, whoa, whoa. Yesterday's winners go first, icecapades.
:'''MacArthur''': Yeah, relax, silver streak!
:'''Sanders''': Wait your turn!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Sanders''': ''[takes a tip from the Don box]'' '''"Take the train to Calanque de Maubois on the Mediterranean coast, and search the station for your next travel tip."''' Let's go!
:'''Don''': ''[voiceover, a map displays the northern part of France with Paris indicated by the Eiffel Tower, a dotted line travels to the southern part of France]'' Teams must take the train south to Calanque de Maubois. Calanque de Maubois skirts the [[w:Mediterranean|Mediterranean]] south of France with sand so fine you WANT it to get in your shorts. The Red Cliffs are just one of the many sites that make this a popular tourist spot. (Cut to the beach; in a speedo) Did I mention that the beaches are awesome? Because they ARE. ''[A crab pulls on his speedo and releases it; yelps in pain]''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Kitty''': Whoo, fun!
:'''Emma''': Stop it. ''[Kitty followers her, cuts to a mime gets carried by a wind while his hat blew off by a going taxi]''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Lorenzo''': I took the subway, he took a taxi.
:'''Chet''': Can you tell Lorenzo that the time he wasn't with me was the best part of the trip so far?
:'''Lorenzo''': Oh, yeah?! Please tell Chet, that before he was in my life was the ''best'' part of my life so far!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Dwayne''': ''[grabs a tip from the Don box]'' It's a Botch or Watch. Whose turn is it?
:'''Junior''': Yours. What's the challenge?
:'''Brody''': ''[reading]'' '''"Who Wants to Swim With…"''' ''[gasps in horror] <big>'''SHARKS?!'''</big>''
:'''Don''': In this Botch or Watch challenge, whoever didn't draw the caricature in Paris must swim to this part of the Mediterranean, and retrieve a travel tip from the dorsal fin of a great white sh- ''[screams as a shark pops out from the water; shaking his fist]'' Uh… Try that again, and you'll get a taste of this! Huh? Wanna dance with the widow-maker?
:'''Sanders''': '''"Note: Eaten teammates will result in disqualification."''' Wow, they really thought of everything.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Geoff''': My grandma used to tell me that if you swim in a shark's mouth, you got to keep on swimming.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Miles''': If we win the money, I'm gonna start a charity dedicated to the preservation of the long misunderstood ocean creatures. ''[pulls the travel tip off the shark's fin; the shark snarls and chases after her as she screams and swims for her life; covered in scratches during her interview]'' I'm ''totally'' scratching sharks off my preservation list.
:''[Laurie gasps in shock over hearing this]''
<hr width=50%>
:''[As the Stepbrothers fight over who gets to drive the speedboat]''
:'''Lorenzo''': Fine! We'll switch every 12 seconds!
:'''Chet''': One Mississippi, two Mississippi…
:'''Lorenzo''': You're counting too fast!
<hr width=50%>
:''[The Geniuses finish writing their calculations on the sand to build a sand sculpture of the Palace of Versailles]''
:'''Ellody''': 373,996 cubic yards, done. Now to build a perfect model with our data. ''[the wave washes over the sand, washing away their calculations]'' OUR DATA!!
:'''Mary''': We'll have to wing it.
:'''Ellody''': I never wing! ''[grips hold on Mary's shoulders; freaking out]'' I DON'T KNOW HOW!
<hr width=50%>
:''[Dwayne and Junior arrive at the Chill Zone in Iceland and Don penalizes them for 20 minutes when Dwayne read the travel tip before returning to shore while drowning]''
:'''Dwayne''': ''[takes out his wallet]'' Sure we can work something out here, huh? Hey, you like coupons? 25 cents off the E-Muffins at McDonna's, huh? Ooh, ooh, or free fries with- oh, wait. This one's expired.
:'''Don''': 20-minute penalty.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Geoff and Brody''': Never…say…DIE!
<hr width=50%>
:''[The Geniuses got eliminated because spent they too much time planning to build their Palace of Versailles sand sculpture of working on it, to the point that they failed to leave for Iceland by the time the next-furthest team reached the Chill Zone]''
:'''Don''': ''[riding a helicopter, calling to the Geniuses below]'' Ahoy, Geniuses! I'm afraid the other teams have reached the Chill Zone! You are out of the race! I'm in a helicopter! This is so cool! ''[flies off]''
:'''Ellody''': How ironic. Our strength in urban planning was also our downfall.
:'''Mary''': That just proves how flawed this show is. But, we played our part.
:'''Ellody''': I suppose geniuses aren't always as smart as they think.
:''[The Geniuses laugh hysterically while leaving the beach]''
:'''Mary''': You told a joke?
:'''Ellody''': I did.
:'''Mary''': Wonderful.
===''Bjorken Telephone [7.05]''===
:'''Don''': The geysers of [[w:Iceland|Geysirskil]] are part of an active volcano field tucked under a skimpy 20 centimeter layer of selicious center. Whatever that is. Sounds dangerous though.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Sanders''': There's the Don box! ''[gets a tip]'' It's an All-In. '''"Broken Icelandic Telephone?"'''
:'''Don''': For this All-In, teams need to hold down the button on this speaker box to hear me say, "Please give me my next travel tip." in Icelandic, with perfect pronunciation. ''[presses the button; through speaker, in Icelandic language] Vinsamlegast gefðu mér mina travel ábending.'' Then they must run across the geothermal field of hot springs, and repeat the sentence to this Icelandic local. ''[gestures to the swan lady and exclaims in disgust by her dress]'' Sweet sister of ducks, what are you wearing? Say the sentence right, you get the next tip. Say it wrong, and you have to go ''all'' the way back to hear the sentence again.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Josee''': ''[in Icelandic] Vinsamlegast gefðu mér mina travel ábending. [the swan lady gives the Ice Dancers their next tip]'' '''"Take the helicopter to Skaftafell National Park, and find the next Don box."'''
:''[The Ice Dancers board the helicopter while they wait]''
:'''Don''': The Ice Dancers have the lead, but now they'll have to wait. The helicopter will only depart once six teams are aboard.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Devin''': ''[shivering while freezing]'' This reminds me of, um, last winter when Shelley locked me out of the car for buying her the wrong kind of tea.
:'''Carrie''': ''[interview]'' He got frost bite and nearly lost three toes over a tea? He deserves better than that. A rabid goat deserves better than that.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Jay''': ''[interview]'' Salt water helps Mickey's eczema. Sometimes it gets so bad, his knees look like armadillos.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Crimson''': ''[interview after saying the Icelandic sentence correctly]'' Most of our favourite bands are from Iceland, so, yeah, we speak a language.
<hr width=50%>
:''[The Stepbrothers fight each other after saying the Icelandic sentence wrong]''
:'''Chet''': ''[scoffs]'' I had the first half of the sentence! ''[shoves Lorenzo] You'' were supposed to remember the second half!
:'''Lorenzo''': ''[shoves Chet in return]'' Other way around, butt stain!
:''[The swan lady shoves them both in annoyance; Stepbrothers' interview]''
:'''Chet''': That girl is so into me.
:'''Lorenzo''': You wish. She's into me, jerky.
:'''Chet''': As if! You're dreaming!
:'''Lorenzo''': You're the one who needs to wake up!
Chet And Lorenzo: (Growling)
<hr width=50%>
:'''Ryan''': I memorized the first half, Stephanie took the second half.
:'''Stephanie''': We share everything… except french fries. If he ever touches my fries…
Owen: KA-BLAM! (Daters Scream)
<hr width=50%>
:'''Emma''': ''Vinsamlegast… gefðu…'' Uhh…
:'''Kitty''': ''[finishing up] …mér mina travel ábending.''
:'''Emma''': ''[annoyed]'' You interrupted me and almost ruined our chances.
:'''Kitty''': But I got it right.
:'''Emma''': Yeah, this time you did. Lucky us. Next time you try to help, ''don't'' help.
:'''Kitty''': Okay.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': As most of the teams struggle to finish the geyser challenge alive, the top six have reached the ice caves in Skaftafell National Park where their next challenge awaits.
:'''Jacques''': ''[gets a tip from the Don box]'' It's an Either/Or. '''"Feast or Fossil?"'''
:'''Don''': An Either/Or challenge requires teams to complete one of two tasks. In this case, teams can either dine on a traditional Icelandic feast, or they can find and retrieve one of the intact fossils embedded in the icy walls of this ice cave. Once their chosen task is complete, teams must bring their intact fossil, or empty platter, to the Chill Zone. The last team to arrive ''may'' be out of the race.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Junior''': ''Vinsamlegast gefðu mer…''

<hr width=50%>
:'''Geoff''': ''[stuffs a feast piece in Brody's mouth during the Either/Or challenge]'' We got this. ''[interview]'' Feels weird to feed Brody like he's a little niblet, but it's a team challenge. The guy is a human trash can. He'll eat anything.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Ennui''': I'm so excited. 1st place. Wow. I could pee myself.
:'''Crimson''': ''[briefly looks down]'' You just did.
<hr width=50%>
:''[After Taylor made Kelly go back through the geyser field by herself and repeat the Icelandic sentence, Don penalizes them for one hour when they reach the Chill Zone]''
:'''Don''': You're 7th! But you've earned a one-hour penalty. Please step aside.
:'''Taylor''': Wait, what?
:'''Don''': After getting the Icelandic sentence wrong, you were ''both'' supposed to go back through the geyser field, but only Kelly did.
:'''Taylor''': ''[groans in frustration]'' Way to go, Mom! I sat around waiting for you so long my butt fell asleep, and now we get a penalty? ''You'' ruined my life.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': Father & Son, you are the 8th team to arrive.
:'''Dwayne and Junior''': Woo-hoo!
:'''Laurie''': Wait, that's our fossil!
:'''Junior''': I ''knew'' something was wrong.
:'''Dwayne''': ''[sighs and pushes the fossil]'' Fine. Here you go.
:'''Don''': No sharesies. ''[to the Vegans]'' You'll have to try again.
:'''Laurie''': But…
:'''Don''': Don't care.
:'''Laurie''': But…
:'''Don''': Don't care.
:'''Laurie''': But…
:'''Don''': ''[walks off]'' Don't care.
:'''Laurie''': ''[to Dwayne; threateningly enraged]: YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING OR I’LL GET YOU FOR THIS! ''[interview]'' I don't normally allow myself to experience negative emotions, but I'm sure my brain turns orange right now!
:'''Dwayne''': ''[interview]'' Not the first time I've never been cursed. Luckily, I don't believe it, so I think we're all good.
:'''Miles''': We'll never be able to reiki another fossil in time.
:'''Laurie''': Then we'll have to… ''eat the feast.''
:'''Miles''': (disgusted): WHAT?!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Rock''': ''[interview]'' Eating that stuff was like, the hardest thing ever. Other than like maths, or getting my driver's license.
:''[Vegans' interview]''
:'''Laurie''': I can't believe I just did that. There are animals inside me right now. And I'm pretty sure they don't want us to come in last.
:'''Miles''': Mine wants out right now. ''[She And Laurie farts and miles falls off her seat while burping]''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': Well, my little meat-eating vegans. You are the last team to arrive.
:'''Laurie''': ''[interview; sobs]'' So many animals. I just ate so many animals!

:'''Don''': Here in Iceland, yesterday's Chill Zone is today's starting line. And yesterday's winners, the Goths are first to get a travel tip.
:'''Ennui''': ''[getting a tip]'' Huh. (We're flying to) [[w:Brazil|Brazil]].
:'''Don''': Sunny, sunny [[w:Brazil|Brazil]]! Home to bossa nova music, makers of fine coffee, and other things that keep me awake at night. Teams will travel here on these chartered planes. The first eight teams take a direct flight, the last seven will arrive two hours later, 'cause they're on the milk run. ''[Animals sounds are heard from the second plane]'' Literally.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': In a stunning reversal, yesterday's winners now look like losers, as plane #2 is in the air, on its way to Brazil.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Laurie''': ''[in turmoil from the previous challenge]'' I ate the sheep's head so we could stay in the game! But the non-elimination meant I didn't have to. ''[breaking down]'' I DIDN'T HAVE TO!
:'''Miles''': ''[slaps her in the face, snapping her out of it]'' Okay, you need to calm down. What happens in Iceland, ''stays'' in Iceland, okay?
:'''Laurie''': ''[sighs as her breath scent almost made Miles retch]'' What? What?!
:'''Miles''': I'm sorry, it's just that… your breath smells like sheep head. ''[sniffs]'' Does anyone have a mint?!
<hr width=50%>
:'''MacArthur''': ''[reading the tip]'' It's a Botch or Watch.
:'''Don''': In this Botch or Watch, whoever didn't swim with sharks in the Mediterranean must try and perform a Brazilian write of passage, and stick their hand inside this mitt full of venomous bullet ants to retrieve their next travel tip. ''[throws a chicken piece in the mitt]'' This is insane!
:'''Kitty''': Bullet ants?
:'''Emma''': Little known fact: the pain caused by their venom can last 24 hours.
:'''Kitty''': ''[disappointed]'' Oh, great.
:'''Mickey''': I've been bitten by venomous creatures so often, I've developed an immunity! Last year on a school trip to Seaville, a box jellyfish sat on my head like a hat! ''[He and Jay try to high five but they miss]'' We don't high five much, it's pretty new to us. ''[Jay accidentally smacks him and he bumps into Laurie, causing her face to fall into the mitt and get bitten by the ants]'' I am so sorry!
:'''Laurie''': ''[slurred voice]'' No, no. I-I deserve that. ''[the other teams react in horror at her swollen face]'' What? What's wrong?
:'''Miles''': Um, nothing. ''[takes the tip off Laurie's head]'' Okay. '''"Feeling divine? Then swing your butts to the coconuts."'''
:'''Don''': ''[swinging across the gorge on a vine, yelling like Tarzan]'' Teams must cross this gorge by any means necessary, and then search for their next tip, hidden in these piles of coconuts.
:'''Laurie''': Sounds good to me. Let's go!
:'''Miles''': Uh, okay, this way!
:'''Lorenzo''': Called it! ''[sticks his hand in the mitt and screams as he gets bitten]''
:'''Chet''': It's my turn to botch! ''[sticks his hand in the mitt and screams as he gets bitten while getting the tip]''
:'''MacArthur''': ''[pushes Mickey out of the way]'' Hey, bullet ants, welcome to the gun show! ''[sticks her hand in the mitt and screams in pain as she gets bitten]'' Aah, they're on my person, they're on my person! ''[runs off with Sanders]''

:'''Taylor''': ''[annoyed]'' Ugh. Fine, but I'm next.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Taylor''': ''[blows the tip off the mitt]'' Doctors say my lung capacity is like so huge they can ever measure with my lung growers or whatever.
:'''Kelly''': When she was 5, she held her breath for seven minutes until we brought her the very expensive Malibu Bonnie doll house she wanted.
:'''Taylor''': It was totally ratchet, I played with it once, and threw it out.
:''[The Vegans swing across the gorge on a vine…]''
:'''Laurie''': ''[screams]'' Ah, the wind hurts my face! ''[they slam into the other side of the gorge]'' Now the cliff hurts my face!

:'''Rock''': C'mon, guy! You gotta get the tip! ''[Spud sticks his hand in the mitt to get the tip and gets bitten and swollen by the ants, but doesn't scream in pain; Rockers' interview]'' Spud's got a delayed reaction to everything, including pain. So I don't expect him to feel those hundreds of excruciating bites, for like, two hours. Then he'll be all like, "Yow!" and then like, "Oooh!" and then like, "YOW!"
:'''Spud''': Uh, what are you talking about?
:''[Plane #1 carrying the eight teams finally arrives in Brazil]''
:'''Josee''': ''[takes a tip from the Don box]'' Botch or Watch. You're up, Jacques. Get the tip!
:'''Jacques''': ''[sticks his hand in the mitt, and screams in pain as the ants bite him]'' It stings like missing gold in Vancouver if I have a point! ''[interview]'' Arriving late to Brazil means we had to up our performance.
:'''Josee''': Like the way I did in the Olympic Trials.
:'''Jacques''': ''[agreeing]'' Yes, like the way ''we'' did that.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': In this All-In challenge, one team member has to make a headpiece, the other a tail, worthy of walking the parade during Carnival. When this local approves of their handy work, they'll get their next tip.
:'''MacArthur''': Piece of cake. ''[interview]'' I know how to make costumes. I went trick-or-treating as a beat cop for 10 years straight.
:'''Sanders''': Seriously? Every year?
:'''MacArthur''': Well, one time I mixed it up and went as a parole officer, so, yeah.
:'''Don''': The lady cops take the lead, and back at the bullet ants, teams from plane #1 are still botching-or-watching.
:'''Geoff''': ''[after getting both his hands bitten by the ants]'' I pump iron. So, once righty started swelling, I just had to switch to the left. Symmetry is what bodybuilding's all about.
:'''Brody''': Dude, your mitts are ''ripped!''
:'''Kelly''': ''[to her daughter while grabbing onto a vine]'' Hop on, and hold on! '''''DO IT!'''''
:'''Taylor''': Mom, stop. You know screaming makes your neck waddle.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Ennui''': ''[getting a tip from the ant mitt and his hand bitten]'' Ow.
:'''Crimson''': Don't be so dramatic.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Miles''': Here's the headpiece. I'll start the tail. ''[interview]'' I'm gonna use some of my winnings to starts a support group called, "the Closet Vegan Society." For vegans like Laurie who've lost their way.
:'''Laurie''': ''[facing away]'' Hey, I didn't want to eat the meat. I thought I had to.
:'''Miles''': Did you have to lick the plate?
:'''Laurie''': ''[losing her temper]'' I thought what happens in Iceland, ''STAYS'' in Iceland!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Stephanie''': ''[scolding Ryan while they climb up the cliff after falling into the gorge]'' I said, "Let's use a vine, that tree's about to crack!" But did you listen? ''No!''

:'''Owen''': ''[after swallowing a coconut in whole]'' It's okay! I got it down.
:'''Noah''': Great. Let's wait eight hours and see if there was a tip in ''that'' one. ''[pokes Owen in the stomach with a stick]''
:'''Owen''': Ow. You got me right in the coconut.
<hr width=50%>
:'''MacArthur''': ''[as the local rejects their second costume]'' It's called being creative!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Jacques''': Tell me again what happened?
:'''Josee''': I told you, a monkey jumped down from a tree, picked up a coconut and threw it at you.
<hr width=50%>
:''[Goths' interview]''
:'''Crimson''': ''[in her all-pitched-black Carnival costume]'' Bright colors are for people who are trying to make up for the fact that they lead sad, monotonous lives.
:'''Ennui''': Yeah.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Miles''': I had to take control of the team if we had any chance of finishing the challenge today. Laurie could hardly see because those mean ants turned her face into raw meat.
:'''Laurie''': Mmm…
:'''Miles''': Uh, I'm sorry, what was that a yummy sound?
<hr width=50%>
:''[The Vegans are the first to reach the Chill Zone]''
:'''Laurie''': Yes! Yes! From last place to first in one day!
:'''Miles''': We deserve it.
:'''Don''': No, you deserve a 30-minute penalty, which you're getting.
:'''Miles''': Why?! We won fair and square!
:'''Don''': Each one of you were supposed to make a component of the costume, but Miles made ''both'' of yours.
:''[Laurie groans in dismay and Miles mopes in disappointment and they step aside as the Ice Dancers leap onto the carpet]''

:'''Miles''': All our plans for the money. ''[she and Laurie walk away, sadly]''
:'''Don''': Now that the last truly unselfish players have been eliminated, things are gonna get ugly. Next time on ''The Ridonculous Race.''
:'''Miles''': That millions dollars would've helped so many causes.
:'''Laurie''': I know. And I ate meat. ''[weeps]''
:'''Miles''': Your heart was in the right place. Not the one you ate. I mean, '''''your''''' heart, the one inside you. Well, I guess they're both inside you, but I mean the--

:'''Stephanie''': Ryan has voiced some concerns about how "competitive" I've been getting, but we reached an understanding.
:'''Ryan''': ''[clears throat]'' I need to try harder so that Stephanie doesn't feel the need to be constant and lone motivator.
:'''Stephanie''': ''[blows a kiss, hugging him]'' We are ''so'' going to win this.

Crimson: We nearly died so many times on that skywalk, on that geyser field, oh, and on that vine, but we totally did it.
Ennui: Not Good.
Crimson: Doing this race is a huge test to see of how strong your friendship is, and I think we did great.

:'''Kelly''': We're a team, Taylor.
:'''Taylor''': I know you aren't used to winning, like me. But maybe you need to follow my example more, because--

:'''Dwayne''': One time Junior made pancakes for Mother’s Day and I said they’re overdone, he almost cried.

:'''Kelly''': ''[gasps in shock; sharped with anger]'' Do ''not'' treat me like a doormat!

:'''Kelly''': No. I'm giving you a time-out.

:'''Taylor''': Meh, it was fun while it lasted.
:'''Kelly''': I hope I never touch another camel, but I loved Paris. I can't believe how good your drawing was.
:'''Taylor''': I know, so good. I can't believe your upper body strength. I need to see your trainer like, yesterday.
:'''Kelly''': You know, it's funny. We entered this race to win more money. But we ended up getting something we ''actually'' needed.
:'''Taylor''': Speaking of which, if we're gonna shop more, I'll need you to double my allowance.
:'''Kelly''': Oh, Taylor, I'm canceling your allowance.

:'''Mickey''': It's a Botch or Watch.
:'''Emma''': '''"Teams must battle it out in Finland's national sport, air guitar."''' Psh, air guitar? For real?!
:'''Don''': For ''very'' real. Performances will be judged by this applause meter. Get the crowd into a maximum frenzy, and teams can rock on over here to today's Chill Zone. Bottom out, and it's back to the end of the line to try, try again.

:'''Don''': 10th place.
:'''Jacques and Josee''': Rhinos are my friend!
:'''Dwayne''': So proud of you. Now, we just need to make sure your mom never sees this episode, ever.
:'''Junior''': Alright, dad. That’s enough.
:'''Josee''': ''[pants]'' And stay down.
:'''Don''': Jacques and Josee!
:'''Jacques''': We know.
:'''Josee''': 11th, last, eliminated!

:'''Sanders''': We're going to Australia! Yes!
:'''Don''': [[w:Australia|Australia]], home to the unique [[w:Sydney Opera House|Sydney Opera House]], [[w:Ayers Rock|Ayers Rock]], and disturbingly cute koalas.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Josee''': The purple was too friendly. The black screams, "Get out of our way!"
:'''Jacques''': And wash us with similar colors.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': Attention, teams. This is a boomerang. Find one attached to your travel tip and you can use it at the next Don box to send another team ''back'' to repeat the last challenge.
:'''Josee''': I ''want'' one!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Devin''': ''[reading the tip]'' '''"Stop in at Geelong maximum security."'''
:'''Don''': Geelong Prison closed in 1991. But during its 146 years of operation, it was the most brutal and violent lockup on Earth. Now it's an extreme travel hot spot! As teams arrive, they'll be throw into cells. Each cell is equipped with four methods of escape: tunnels, trap doors, hidden tools, or bars. Once they break out of their cell, they're free to make their way to today's final Don box, here on the Barwon river. Boomerangs can only be used here. After they pass this point, the boomerang expires. And, as a special bonus treat…
:'''Junior''': ''[reading]'' '''"First team to today's Chill Zone gets to make a phone call home."''' Cool, we can call Mom.
:'''Dwayne''': Or better yet, order a pizza. ''[Junior points to the camera; clears throat]'' Eh, b-but of course, you know, I'm joking.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Emma''': Number one or number two?
:'''Owen''': Two! But it had the consistency of…
:'''Stepbrothers''': ''[farther up ahead]'' Number one!
<hr width=50%>
:'''MacArthur''': Hey, once you're up there, if you double-cross us, I'll make you pay.
:'''Jacques''': Pfft. You don't scare me.
:'''MacArthur''': ''[pulls him down and grabs him by the collar; threateningly]'' I'll break your limbs, tie you into a knot, and throw you off a cliff.
:'''Jacques''': Okay, that actually does scare me.
<hr width=50%>
:''[As the Best Friends are first to reach the Chill Zone, Devin calls Shelley, who she then dumps him, leaving him heartbroken and upset]''
:'''Devin''': Shelley? Oh. Thanks, Ashton. Ashton's her tennis instructor, he's just getting her now. Shelley! Hi! It's me, Devin. I miss you so much… Whoa, whoa, what? No! We never broke up. Y-You're dating who?! Ashton?! No! Please, Shelley, don't! Wait! ''[Shelley hangs up and Don takes the phone away from him]'' No, no, I need to call her back!
:'''Don''': Sorry, one phone call only. So, how's the girlfriend?
:'''Devin''': ''[devastated]'' She's dumped me… for her tennis instructor! ''[starts sobbing hysterically]''
:'''Don''': Whoa, the tennis instructor? That never happens.
:'''Carrie''': Maybe I should tell him now? Or, I'll wait for him to stop sobbing.

:'''Jacques''': Lapin! ''[gets attacked]'' Aaah! A little help?
:'''Josee''': Not now, I’m busy clearing. ''[MacArthur stares at her]'' They boomeranged us.
:'''Jacques''': We boomeranged them.

:''[The Stepbrothers got eliminated because they lost to the Rockers in the race to the Chill Zone after their glider was destroyed by a kangaroo and they got buried in an avalanche. Don even remembered that the leg was a double elimination round, and thus the Rockers also got eliminated]''
:'''Don''': But, before we wrap up, I have a special announcement to make. Today's episode…is a double-elimination round! The Rockers are ''also'' going home!
:'''Rock''': WHAT?!
:'''Spud''': Aw, man. Drag.
:''[The Stepbrothers both laugh]''
:'''Rock''': ''[imitating buzzer]'' Why'd you waste time reviewing footage if you were just gonna boot both of us?
:'''Don''': Because I forgot, obviously.
:'''Rock''': Getting kicked off was lame, but I'm proud of Spud. At first, I was all, "Dude!" And then I was all, "''[gasps]'' No way!" And then I was like, '''"WHAT?!"'''
:'''Spud''': Thanks, dude. Maybe we'll win this thing.
:'''Rock''': We just lost.
:'''Spud''': Oh, yeah, right.
:'''Rock''': I really coulda use the million.
:'''Chet''': You guys wanna come over and play ''Rock Storm'' on our Gamebox?
:'''Rockers''': Yes!

:'''Dwayne''': Language, Mister!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': Reality TV Schmos… I mean Pros, i’m afraid you’re last, it’s time to go. Is what I would’ve said if this were an elimination round, but it isn’t. Congratulations, guys, you’re still in the game.
===''Little Bull on the Prairie [7.16]''===
:'''Josee''': ''[reading the tip]'' '''"Go to Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump."'''
:'''Jacques''': Huh? Buffalo? Is that a place or a threat?
:'''Don''': It's actually a little of both. It's located here, along the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in [[w:Alberta|Alberta]], [[w:Canada|Canada]]. Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump was going to be called Concussion Valley, but the name was already taken. Teams must fly to Lethbridge, Alberta, then drive to this spot to receive their next travel tip.
:'''Devin''': ''[gets the tip]'' Yes! Let's do this! I had a few um… minor outbursts in New Zealand.
:'''Carrie''': Oh, you weren’t that bad.
:'''Devin'''m Don't worry, the rage has left the Devin. I’m not angry at Shelly for dumping me anymore, infact, I want you back, baby, and I’ll do anything to prove it! I’ll climb to the top of the tree!
:''[Devin climbs all the way up into that tree]''
:'''Carrie''': And hello to stage three of breaking up, desperation. ''[Devin falls from a tree, Devin groans]'' Yeah, this is gonna be great.
:'''Geoff''': Dude! We're going to a dude ranch!
:'''Brody''': And we are dudes!
:'''Geoff''': We can't lose! It's an us ranch! ''[high-fives with Brody]''
:''[Ryan gets the tip]''
:'''Stephanie''': Dudes at a dude ranch, that's fair.
:'''Ryan''': Maybe the next Challange, will be for something you're good at, like complaining.
:'''Stephanie''': ''[interview]'' I am not a complainer! How dare you call me that?! You never listen, and your short is so ugly it hirts my eyes.
:'''Ryan''': Yeah, you don't complain at all.
<hr width=50%>
:'''MacArthur''': You’ll have to get out there and patch her up ASAP.

:'''MacArthur''': Agh, new plan! ''[drives faster to crash into a red vehicle making the Ice Dancers scream in terror]'' BOOYA!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Geoff''': ''[getting the tip]'' It's an All-In. '''"Tip Your Hat, Split Your Jeans, and Eat Like a Cowboy by All Means."'''
:'''Don''': Working together, teammates must eat an ''entire'' pot of pork and beans. At the bottom of the pot, they'll find their next travel tip.
:'''Geoff''': Whoa!
:'''Brody''': My fave food to nosh on is ''totally'' pork and beans, dude!
:'''Geoff''': I can scarf most things. Brody's got an iron stomach with the taste buds of a dude that doesn't have any taste buds. We're golden.
:''[The Daters/Haters enter the restaurant and see the Surfer Dudes already chowing down]''
:'''Stephanie''': See? Dude advantage. But we're in 2nd, so all's not lost.
:'''Ryan''': Only our love for each other. ''[he and Stephanie high five]''
:'''Stephanie''': Exactly. ''[looking down into the pot; horrified]'' Beans? Beans?! BEANS?! I'm not usually a picky eater, but beans are the grossest food on the planet and should never be consumed by human beings, ever. That's it.
:'''Ryan''': ''[clears throat]'' Chicken.
:'''Stephanie''': What was that?
<hr width=50%>
:'''Crimson''': ''[interview]'' This place reminds me of my grandmother's farm house. I've spent a lot of summers there.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Geoff''': ''[reading the tip]'' It's a Random Botch. '''"Whoever isn't holding the tip, has to ride the mechanical bull."'''
:'''Brody''': There's a mechanical bull?!
:'''Don''': The Bull Buster 3000, the most dangerous mechanical bull in the world.
<hr width=50%>
:'''MacArthur''': A disgusting amount of pork and beans? FOR FREE?! WOHOOOO! ''[hogs it all for herself, Sanders tries to scoop some]'' Get your own pot!
:''[Cadets' interview]''
:'''Sanders''': Someone has a bit of a sharing problem.
:'''MacArthur''': You're right, and I forgive you.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Owen''': ''[feeding Noah pork and beans]'' Here's the Choo-choo train! ''[continues eating]''
:'''Emma''': ''[looking at Noah still looking depressed while eating]'' Maybe it's just a coincidence he, you know, went into a state of shock and despair, the moment I broke up with him. ''[to her sister]'' Can you just agree with me at least?
:''[Kitty sighs]''
:'''Don''': While the rest of out teams choke down pork and beans, our current leaders are trying not to choke!
:'''Geoff''': Brod man’s not doing so good. But no one else is even trying the Bull yet, but we’re still golden. ''[gets pushed by Brody]''
:'''Ryan''': Come on, babe. You can do this. You're stronger and scarier than anyone I know. Take a deep breath. ''[Stephanie breathes heavily]'' That's it. Just… ''[Stepahnie drops the spoon and starts gagging; sighs]'' You know what? Maybe you can't do it. Maybe you're not as strong as I thought. You're not a winner at all. But a… ''LOSER!''
:'''Stephanie''': ''[gasps in shock over hearing that, picks up the spoon, and scarfs some beans]'' I… am not… a loser!
:''[Interview]''
:'''Ryan''': As a certified trainer, I know how to motivate people who lack confidence.
:'''Stepahnie''': ''[pressing her hands on her stomach, trying to hold in her vomit]'' I'm confident. These beans aren't gonna stay down, ugh, much longer. ''[vomits]''
:'''Owen''': ''[hears his stomach rumbling]'' Uh oh! Beaks are shifting! Haha… ''[forms a big fart as a window crashes]''
:'''MacArthur''': ''[interview; impressed as Sanders wears a gas mask]'' Man, can that guy airbrush his boxers?
<hr width=50%>
:'''Stephanie''': There. I did it.
:'''Ryan''': Excellent. Now, grab the tip.
:'''Stephanie''': Why don't ''you'' grab the tip?
:'''Brody''': ''[pained]'' I wish I could've taken the tip, and you'd be the one ridding the bull.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Emma''': That would make me feel terrible! This is the part where you pretend it’s possible!
:'''Don''': It’s down to three teams in a race for failure of the day. ''[Dwayne goes over the Bull Buster 3000, Junior slaps his head, Jacques gets ready to ride the bull]''
:'''Jacques''': Ah! Ah! Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah-
<hr width=50%>
:'''Junior''': ''[hugging his father as they're eliminated]'' Thanks for this, Dad. I really appreciate it.
:'''Dwayne''': Oh, I can't be too obsessed. The race has really changed Junior and me. My son's going home a man.
:'''Junior''': And thanks to his new tattoo, my dad is going home a woman. ''[chuckles]''
:'''Dwayne''': Yeah, I'm gonna grow a beard.
:'''Junior''': Probably for the best.
:'''Dwayne''': Hey, you wanna go home and binge-watch ''Total Drama Pahkitew Island?''
:'''Junior''': Only if we can laugh until soda squirts out your nose.
:'''Dwayne''': Of course we can, son. Of course we can.
===''Lord of The Ring Toss [7.17]''===
:'''Geoff''': Cool, we're flying to the Arctic Circle!
:'''Brody''': Awesome! Circles are my favorite shape, dude!
:'''Don''': The [[w:Arctic Circle|Arctic Circle]], home to the world's harshest climate, whitest animals, and favorite storybook characters. Teams must fly here by Cessna, two teams per flight, to get their next tip. And they'll be chilled to the bone to find out there's another boomerang in play. Find this attached to your tip, and you can make another team repeat the first challenge. Just our way of adding some, "Oh, that's cold." to the cold.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Stephanie''': Second doesn't win a million bucks. We've only been first once because you keep dragging us down!
:'''Ryan''': Me? You're the one that wouldn't eat any beans.
:'''Stephanie''': Whoa, whoa! Look who's playing the blame game!
<hr width=50%>
:''[Best Friends' interview]''
:'''Carrie''': You know, the Goths really kicked butt in Alberta. Think we should try to form an alliance with them?
:'''Devin''': Alliances are just invitations to get stabbed in the back. You can never really know anyone. As soon as you think you do, wham! They rip your heart from your chest and they eat it.
:'''Carrie''': Okay, so… is that a no?
:''[Goths' interview]''
:'''Crimson''': You were so friendly with the Besties. You practically smiled.
:'''Ennui''': They're survivors, like us. I felt a kinship.
:'''Crimson''': Do we try to form an alliance?
:'''Both''': No.
<hr width=50%>
:''[The Daters/Haters and Surfer Dudes reach the Don box when they arrive in the Arctic Circle]''

:'''Geoff''': ''[reading]'' '''"Find a ring somewhere hidden in the snow and toss one onto a narwhal."''' Ah, narwhal, ha.
:'''Brody''': So what's a narwhal?
<hr width=50%>
:'''Ryan''': ''[after successfully tossing a ring onto a narwhal's tusk]'' Yes! I put us into first place!
:'''Stephanie''': Can we go now or do you want to stay and build a statue of yourself? ''[interview]'' Every time Ryan finally manages to do something right, the whole world has to drop everything so we can all ''celebrate'' his "major achievement."
:'''Ryan''': You know what? You're a joy-vampire. You… ''[imitates blood-sucking]'' suck the joy right out of everything! If I had a time machine, I'd go back to our first date, and slap myself.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Ennui''': ''[interview]'' When did Devin get so… ''cool?''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Stephanie''': Ugh. Pull over and let me do this. You drive like an old lady.
:'''Ryan''': ''[exasperated]'' Can you please stop insulting everything I do?
:'''Stephanie''': ''[mocking Ryan]'' "Can you please stop insulting everything I do?"
:'''Ryan''': Real mature.
:'''Stephanie''': "Real mature."
:'''Ryan''': ''[mimicking Stephanie]'' "Pull over, and let me drive."
:'''Stephanie''': I do ''not'' sound like that.
:'''Ryan''': "I do ''not'' sound like that."
:'''Stephanie''': Stop it!
:'''Ryan''': "Stop it!"
:'''Stephanie''': Ugh!
:'''Ryan''': "Ugh!"
<hr width=50%>
:'''Ryan''': Great. Now the Goths are ahead of us! Way to blow our lead! Why can't you do something right for a change and use the boomerang?
:'''Stephanie''': I boomerang Ryan!
:'''Ryan''': ''[shocked]'' WHAT?! We're on the same team!
:'''Crimson''': ''[interview]'' It's sad when love turns to poison. ''[she and Ennui hold hands]'' That's nice.
:'''Don''': ''[going through the rule book]'' The rules don't say anything about being unable to boomerang themselves. So I'll allow it. But since it's a Botch-or-Watch, this time, Stephanie has to ring the narwhal.
:'''Stephanie''': Great. Now I can show Ryan how stupid easy it is to put a hoop on a giant fish.
<hr width=50%>
:'''MacArthur''': I used to hate mammals. But this narwhal is pretty cool.
:'''Sanders''': Uh, we're mammals.
:'''MacArthur''': I know.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Stephanie''': It doesn't fit. Stop waisting time!
:'''Ryan''': We'd be finished already if you hadn't boomerang…
:'''Stephanie''': Are you ''still'' talking about that? Ugh! Ancient history.
:'''Ryan''': If we don't finish this igloo, ''we'll'' be ancient history. ''[interview]'' If we end up being eliminated after everything that happened-- the fighting, the break-up, the boomerang, I'm not sure our relationship will survive it.
:'''Stephanie''': I know.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Stephanie''': You need to cut faster!
:'''Ryan''': ''[cutting fast]'' I'm going as fast as I can!
:'''Stephanie''': Put those perfectly sculpted muscles of yours to work!
:'''Ryan''': Stop yelling your beautiful flawless face-off at me. Here.
:'''Stephanie''': Thank you. I need three more blocks to finish the baby's room.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': Ryan, Stephanie, you're the last team to arrive. Sending you home is… exactly what I do if this weren’t an elimination round! But it’s not! You’re safe! ''[The Hater/Daters sigh]''
:'''Ryan''': I’m so happy right now. I want ready to go home. I.. still have some feelings for Stephanie.
:'''Stephanie''': I also have feelings for Ryan. And we are a good team it was this competition that broke us up.
:'''Ryan''': Totally! If we win some place where there was no stress, hardship, or challenges, I think we’d be happy.
:'''Stephanie''': And together forever.
:'''Ryan''': I forgive you for boomeranging us.
:'''Stephanie''': Forgive me? Haha. Do you know how many times you’ve almost gotten us eliminated?
:'''Ryan''': Even if that were true which it isn’t, at least i’d never heard out team on purpose.
:'''Stephanie''': No, you just heard us for beating bad at everything.
:'''Ryan''': Ugh! You’re impossible!
:'''Don''': ''[pops up]'' The hate is back on The Ridonculous Race.
===''Got Venom? [7.18]''===
:'''Stephanie''': Did I boomerang my ''own'' team? Yes. But it was Ryan's fault.
:'''Ryan''': ''[monotonously]'' Yes, Stephanie.
:'''Stephanie''': You had it coming!
:'''Ryan''': Yes, Stephanie.
:'''Stephanie''': Mr. I'm-King-of-the-Ring-Toss.
:'''Ryan''': Yes, Stephanie. ''[Stephanie screams in irritation and storms out of the interview room]'' I finally figured out how to one-up Stephanie… just agree with everything.
:'''Brody''': We're flying to…Flores, Indonesia.
:'''Geoff''': ''[shudders]'' I hope it's warm there.
:'''Don''': Oh, it is. [[w:Flores|Flores]], [[w:Indonesia|Indonesia]] is packed with beautiful empty beaches, majestic mountain ranges, and ominously silent jungles. Teams must fly to Flores, then take taxis to the Don box in this village. How do the locals keep tourists away from this island paradise? Nobody knows. But, it might have something to do with the Komodo dragon problem.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Geoff''': It's an All-In. '''"How to Milk Your Dragon."''' Whoa. We have to do what?
:'''Don''': That's right. Just when you thought these beasts were harmless, it turns out their saliva is loaded with '''''venom.''''' Teams must collect one vial of Komodo drool, and hand it to this kid to get their next tip. ''[screams as a Komodo dragon pops up next to him]'' That said, try not to get bitten. In case you do, side effects may include: headache, dizziness, and being eaten by a Komodo dragon.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Brody''': Boo-yah! One cup of doom drool!
:'''Don''': Hold on. ''[swipes the vial out of Brody's hand and examines it]'' This is extinguisher foam! ''[throws the vial aside]'' Try pulling another fast one like that, and you're out of the race! ''[threateningly points to the Surfer Dudes]'' Got it?
:'''Brody''': ''[frightfully]'' Who could've replaced our venom with extinguisher foam?
<hr width=50%>
:''[Loki stands on a tree branch and throws acorns at a Komodo dragon, waking it up; the dragon tries to catch Loki and holds onto the tree and starts drooling; the Goths put a bucket next to the dragon to collect its drool, and stand behind a bush]''

:'''Crimson''': ''[interview]'' Loki doesn't know fear. ''[the dragon smells her and Ennui's deodorant, and runs away]'' Yes. Smell your defeat.
:''[Ennui fills up the vial of Komodo drool from the bucket; the Ice Dancers pop out of the bushes watching them]''
:'''Josee''': That is one B-A-D (bad) bunny.
:'''Jacques''': Well, that plan backfired. And much faster this time.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Stephanie''': ''[holding onto a tree]'' Help!
:'''Ryan''': ''[going through a magazine]'' Yes, Stephanie.
:'''Stephanie''': Was this your plan?
:'''Ryan''': Yes, Stephanie.
:'''Stephanie''': Get a giant lizard to eat me?! ''[screams in unbridled rage and snaps a branch stick off the tree and uses it to bash the Komodo dragon in the head rapidly; Ryan gasps; points the tree branch stick at him, threatningly]'' Scoop some drool, or you're next.
:'''Ryan''': ''[scoffs]'' I'm not afraid of Steph, or her dumb stick. And I don't need her to tell me what to do.
:'''Stephanie''': ''[chasing after him]'' Hurry up, drool boy!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': The Goths take 1st place!
:'''Josee''': What?! Silver ''again?!'' This race is fixed! ''[screaming angrily while swaying their loom rug back and forth, hitting Jacques by accident; interview]'' I can't believe those pasty-faced freaks took gold! Oh, I bet they're just ''LOVING'' it!
:'''Crimson''': ''[interview]'' We won.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Noah''': We're gonna be in last place.
:'''Owen''': Oh, no. Chewy's drooling in his sleep. ''[gets Komodo drool in his eye]'' THE VENOM'S IN MY EYE! ''[farts, waking up the dragon; the dragon coughs and runs away; interview]'' Oh. I guess farting ''is'' a side effect of Komodo venom.
:'''Noah''': No, it isn't.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Brody''': Just to be clear, I'm a trained professional in all things extreme. Never try that at home, kids. But if you're in a forest, totally do it! Komodo trapping rules!
<hr width=50%>
:''[The Reality TV Pros got eliminated because Noah became buried in a pile of rugs, and Owen was unable to find him in time before the remaining teams reached the Chill Zone due to having venom in his eye.

:'''Owen''': As reality shows go, that got as real as reality shows ''get.''
:'''Noah''': Before it started, I didn't have a girlfriend and now I do, so, it's an easy favorite.
:'''Owen''': I mean, the million would've been nice, but winning isn't everything. Also, I already won a million.
:'''Noah''': And I'm dating a lawyer. So I'll never have to work again.

:''[The Daters/Haters step up to start the magic challenge]''

:'''Stephanie''': So, the assistant goes into one side of the cage, the lion is in the other. The cage gets covered, and the magician pulls the lever to the correct position to drop the divider and the lion off the stage. That way the assistant doesn't get mauled. Let's go. I'll be the magician.
:'''Ryan''': Nah, nah. The girl is always the assistant, the man is the magician.
:'''Stephanie''': You better hope that dress can fit over your thick head.
:'''Ryan''': Aw, come on, Steph, be reasonable.
:'''Stephanie''': Says the guy who dumped me on television.
:'''Ryan''': ''[dismayed]'' Crud.
:'''Don''': As the Cadets and Sisters race to the Don Box to choose an Either-Or, Best Friends, Carrie and Devin lose valuable ground.

:'''Brody''': ''[Beat, sighs]'' Good point…
<hr width=50%>
:'''Josee''': I can't believe the goths came in first again! I knew I should've used this!
:'''Jacques''': They're not vampires! Agh! At least we didn't finish last, and I got to keep the outfit. ''[chuckles]''
:'''Carrie''': Did we make it?
:'''Don''': Yes.
:'''Carrie''': Alright!
:'''Don''': In last place.
:'''Devin''': Oh. Carrie, I am so sorry. It's totally my fault, and I realized something.
:'''Don''': Did you realize this is a non-elimination round?
===''El Bunny Supremo [7.20]''===
:'''Don''': We’re beck in sunny Nevada where the un-sunny goths are preparing today’s first tip.
:'''Crimson''': ''[reading the tip]'' '''"It's time to go to Mexico. ''Olé."'''''
:'''Don''': I think you mean… ''¡OLÉ!'' Yes, there's plenty to get excited about in beautiful [[w:Mexico|Mexico]], where the sun is hot and so is the salsa. ''[A fly buzzes and salsa erupts]'' Teams must take a form of local transit known as "the chicken bus" all the way here to the beautiful cliffs of [[w:Acapulco|Acapulco]] to receive their next challenge.
<hr width=50%>
:''[The Daters/Haters, Best Friends, and Police Cadets get their tips from the Don box]''
:'''Stephanie''': It's an All-In.
:'''Carrie''': '''"Who Loves Peppers…"'''
:'''Sanders''': '''"…and Who Loves Dip?"'''
:'''Don''': For this All-In, a team member must eat one hot pepper from this food cart. Once eaten, wave the corresponding flag color. Then the second team member must act like an Acapulco cliff diver. Eat the hottest pepper, and your partner leaps from the lowest ledge, there. Eat a mid-range pepper, and your partner jumps from there. But eat the mildest pepper, and your partner is basically jumping from the space station. Cliff jumpers will find their next tip, attached to canteens, anchored along the bottom of the bay.
:'''Carrie''': '''"The canteens are filled with just enough cold milk to soothe the pepper-eater's burning mouth."'''
<hr width=50%>
:'''MacArthur''': Back at the academy, I pepper-sprayed all my meals to build up in immunity to it. ''[eats a handful of hottest peppers]'' So eating the hottest pepper is easy-peasy. ''[as a single sound effect and more sound effects rise]'' SANDERS, JUMP! I NEED MILK!!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Ryan''': ''[calling out]'' STEPHANIE, I'M BEGGING YOU! EAT THE MIDDLE ONE!
:'''Stephanie''': Can't hear you! You must be above the atmosphere or something. ''[eats the mildest pepper]'' Huh. Not bad. ''[waves the flag]'' Okay, jump!
:'''Ryan''': Aw, man, are you serious? She couldn't even eat the middle pepper?! I thought we were good! Come on!
:'''Stephanie''': We may be on better terms, but the man still dumped me on TV. If I can make him suffer a little, I will.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Devin''': ''[takes a medium pepper from the cart after recovering from the heat enough]'' Okay. We can do this, for Carrie.
:'''Carrie''': Okay, uh, not so bad, Olympic divers do it. They're sure they trained first as they don't die doing it, but still...
:'''Devin''': ''[screaming in pain]'' Fire! Am I on fire?!
:'''Carrie''': Devin! Kitty, is he okay?!
:'''Kitty''': You may wanna start climbing! ''[eats the medium pepper]''
:'''Emma''': ''[calling out]'' Doing great, Kitty!
:'''Kitty''': ''[screaming as the medium pepper burns her]'' HOT, HOT! Oh, ho! IT BURNS! ''[waves the green flag]'' JUMP!!!
:'''Emma''': Nice work, Kit! ''[jumps off the cliff and into the bay below]''
:'''Devin''': This is nothing. I can… ''[eats the medium pepper and ends up spitting it out and screams]''
:'''Carrie''': Devin, just eat the mild one. ''[sighs]'' Looks like I'm going to the top.
<hr width=50%>
:''[Ennui reaches shore with the canteen and tip]''
:'''Crimson''': Thanks. ''[notices Ennui looking upset]'' What's wrong?
:'''Ennui''': Nothing.
:'''Crimson''': But you look so emotional.
:'''Ennui''': Loki's gone. ''[interview]'' Once, Santa brought me a black kitten. I named him Toxic Mold. One day, he slipped out the door and never came back.
:'''Crimson''': No bunny gets left behind.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Devin''': Wait. Was Carrie holding hands with Ryan?! Was she? ''[accidentally rubs pepper juice in his eyes, causing him to be fully blind]'' AAAH! Pepper juice! MY EYES!!!
:''[Interview]''
:'''Carrie''': "Holding hands?" I was just helping Ryan jump.
:'''Devin''': Oh, of course you were. You were just being "helpful". Sometimes too helpful. But we should focus on the million.
<hr width=50%>
:''[Sanders reaches the Chill Zone herself while her partner tries waking up her burro]''
:'''Don''': Um, you seem to be shy one loud, aggressive partner.
:''[The Ice Dancers show up]''
:'''Jacques''': Ah! There's only ''one'' cop. They don't win!
:'''Don''': Not yet. But unless one of you coughs up two burros, I'll have to give you a 10-minute penalty.
:'''Jacques and Josee''': NO!
:'''Sanders''': ''[victoriously]'' Yes! ''[calling out to her partner as the Ice Dancers are penalized for ten minutes]'' Hurry, MacArthur! You've got 10!
:'''MacArthur''': Okay, donkey. ''WAKE UP!''
<hr width=50%>
:''[The Goths got eliminated because The Ice Dancers kidnapped Loki, causing them to stop competing in order to look for him; and after they found him, they were beaten by the Surfers to the Chill Zone]''
:'''Crimson''': I'm glad we went to Transylvania.
:'''Ennui''': And Finland. That was epic.
:'''Crimson''': We could always go back to Vegas I guess, if we need the money. I hope the Ice Dancers get what they deserve.
:'''Ennui''': I hope they get worse than that.
:'''Crimson''': I love it when you get vengeful.
:'''Ennui''': I know.
===''Ca-Noodling [7.21]''===
:''[Josee and Jacques are proud of how they managed to get the Goths eliminated]''
:'''Sanders''': From now on, we stay in the winners circle by any means necessary.
:'''MacArthur''': Does this mean I get-
:'''Sanders''': No, you cannot taser anyone.
:'''MacArthur''': Aw. ''[Ice Dancers’ interview]''
:'''Josee''': Second place. Again!
:'''Jacques''': But at least I got another team eliminated.
:'''Josee''': That's true. We did. It's like we won a gold medal in treachery!
:'''Sanders''': ''[reading the tip]'' '''"Travel to Cần Thơ, Vietnam."'''
:'''Don''': [[w:Cần Thơ|Cần Thơ]] is not only a great name for a movie villain, it's also the largest city in [[w:Vietnam|Vietnam]]'s thriving [[w:Mekong Delta|Mekong Delta]]. Teams will find their next tip here, along the [[w:Mekong|Mekong River]], where the fish are plentiful, ugh, and pungent. Get that thing away from me! ''[more characters getting travel tips]''
:'''Devin''': Uhh! It says- here! You read, I’ll get us a cab! Taxi!
:'''Carrie''': Uh, wrong way!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Devin''': Turns out, I'm violently allergic to hot peppers, especially when rubbed into my eyes, so, yeah, my vision's kinda off. But don't tell Carrie. I'm trying impress her, you know, lay the land for when I tell her I like like her.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Brody''': I once babysit my sister's pet that was somehow eaten by a crocodile.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Jacques''': I compare noodling catfish to massaging my grandma's feet, which I don't like.
<hr width=50%>
:''[The Surfer Dudes got eliminated after Devin and Carrie beaten them to the Chill Zone as thanks for alerting them to the Don Box in the tunnels, making them come in last]''
:'''Carrie''': Devin nearly costs us the race today. What is up with him? It’s like the long per we’re in this thin, the less I know him. I want to million with my best friend, not some total stranger. But! I’ll take the million either way.
:'''Geoff''': Well! Here we are dude.
:'''Brody''': Hit us with those negative vibes.
:'''Don''': Hey, Hey, Hey! Quite the long faces! Your’e not out of the race yet.
:'''Brody''': Wow!
:'''Geoff''': [gasps]
:'''Don''': Now you’re out!
:'''Brody''': No!
:'''Geoff''': Aw.
:'''Don''': See what I did there? That's TV fishing. Gave ya some line and a little hope and then yanked it away! It's gonna look great and all this explaining will be edited out. Cool, huh?
:'''Geoff''': Bummer, dude...
:'''Don''': Some people just don't get show business.
:'''Brody''': MacArthur! You have to go on without me!
:'''MacArthur''': Cool beans will do.
===''How Deep Is Your Love? [7.22]''===
:'''Sanders''': ''[reading the tip]'' '''"Catch a flight to Siberia."'''
:'''Don''': [[w:Siberia|Siberia]]! This massive province of [[w:Russia|Russia]] is home to the Siberian tiger, Siberian husky, and probably anything else prefaced with Siberian.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Sanders''': This alliance is not a friendship.
:'''MacArthur''': Got that right. It's just an agreement to work with people we hate.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''MacArthur''': My dad would always pressure me into winning and coming first.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Ryan''': Whenever we had an argument, my dad will gratuitously agree with my mom until she calms down or leaves.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Pilot''': ''[over PA]'' Welcome, uhh, aboard, everyone, huh. We're going to be, um... closing the... uh... cabin doors, any uhh... second now. For the taking off.

:'''Kitty''': Woo-hoo!
:'''Carrie''': That was too close!
:''[Josse screams infuriated]''
:'''Don''': All the teams are off! Some happier than others.
:'''Josee''': Now we're all on the same flight, and it's all because of that pilot!
:'''Jacques''': Why? Because he, uhh, spoke, uhh- ''[Josee punches him in the shoulder, getting him to stop talking]'' Ow!
<hr width=''50%''/>
:'''Carrie''': ''[which is behind a yeti]'' AAH! AAAH!

:'''Yeti''': ''[runs, then pushes the ice yacht]''
:'''Ryan''': Thank you.
:'''Jacques''': Josee! What are you going?
:'''Josee''': Shh! Let’s just say the Cadets can’t catch a break.
:'''Jacques''': Huh? I don’t get it!
:'''Josee''': I think it’s you who has a screw loose, come on, let’s get another boat. Goodbye.
:'''Sanders''': Josee! Jacques! Wait! We need help!
:'''Jacques''': Did you hear something?
:'''Josee''': No, I did not.
:'''Sanders''': Help! Allies! I guess they couldn’t hear us.
:'''MacArthur''': Uh, they heard you. They’re just mean.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Kitty''': '''“Who’s ready to go deep?”''' Uh-oh.
:'''Don''': After losing the race to the moon, Russia decided to try and win a race to the middle of the earth. They stopped drilling at the seven mile mark when they realized no one lose was even going to try. Today, one team member must lower their harness partner all the way to the bottom, and find a ball. Before they cranked all the way back up to their partner. Once they’re back up it’s a foot race to the Chill Zone. Located here at this Russian steam bath. Last team to arrive with ball and hand, Maybe eliminated. I hope they all take their time cause I booked a rejuvenating caviar body scrub.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Kitty''': That was crazy!
:'''Ryan''': Thanks for not dropping me down the hole like that.
:'''Stephanie''': OK. You know what? You need to stop agreeing with me and go back to being my biggest nightmare!
:'''Ryan''': You’re so right. I need to- wait, what?
:'''Stephanie''': You got me so confused, I can’t even think straight.
===''Darjeel With It [7.23]''===

<hr width=50%>
:''[The Daters got eliminated because they stopped just short of the Chill Zone to reveal that they were dating again, giving enough time for the Ice Dancers' penalty to end and for them to secure fourth place]''
:'''Stephanie''': You had to get romantic then?
:'''Ryan''': What? You kissed me!
:'''Stephanie''': I couldn't help myself. Look at you, you're hotter than the sun.
:'''Ryan''': ''[touched]'' Aw, girl. Stop.
:'''Stephanie''': We didn't win, but we actually did some amazing things as a team, partner.
:'''Ryan''': When things got hot, we took the heat.
:'''Stephanie''': And pushed each other when needed. Which was a lot.
:'''Ryan''': Even carried each other sometimes.
:'''Stephanie''': And when we failed the first time, we tried again.
:'''Ryan''': This experience has made us a better, stronger couple. I know what I want now, and it's Stephanie.

:'''Jacques''': We know how to win. We've won gold everywhere!
:'''Josee''': Except…the Olympics. He dropped me so we only got silver.
:'''Jacques''': ''[cries]'' I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT! ''[runs off]''
:'''Josee''': Jacques! Silver is his ''least'' favorite color.
:'''Don''': Geoff and Brody, life-long friends and surfer dudes.
:'''Geoff''': ''[chuckles]'' Goin' around the world on someone else's dime. Sweet! ''[to the camera, calling out to Bridgette]'' Hey, Bridgette! Love ya, babe! ''[interview]'' My girl and I did Total Drama, but she's surfing her way around Australia right now. So, boom, entré my bud, Brody!
:'''Brody''': Yeah guy! Bros forever! G and B for the W-I-N!

:'''Don''': Lorenzo and Chet, new stepbrothers.
:''[Stepbrothers' interview]''
:'''Lorenzo''': My dad married his mom last year, but we still hate each other. So they're making us do this. Jerks!
:'''Chet''': Don't (you dare) call my mom a jerk, JERK! ''[pushes Lorenzo aside]''
:'''Lorenzo''': Shut your word-hole, JERK! ''[pushes Chet in return but comes back and starts tackling him]''
:'''Don''': Also racing… Tom and Jen. Highly attractive fashion bloggers with impeccable taste. I told you not to let the teams write their own cards.
:''[Fashion Bloggers' interview]''
:'''Jen''': Hey-hey, to all our blog followers out there! Wish us luck!
:'''Tom''': I bet "Jen we could win the race", but I didn't think she'd ''actually'' take it up on me.
:'''Jen''': I put my mind to something and it happens.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': Ellody and Mary, scientific geniuses who say they will use their winnings to support the science community.
:''[Geniuses' interview]''
:'''Ellody''': Astrophysics is underfunded. Reality shows offer monetary prizes. Conundrum solved.
:'''Don''': Leonard and Tammy, dedicated live-action role players… whatever that is.
:''[LARPers' interview]''
:'''Leonard''': ''Pahkitew Island'' was tough. But with Tammy's new spells, huzzah! We'll claim the dragon's eye! That's dwarfish for one million.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': Welcome, contestants! This is the starting line for your 26-part race around the world. Each part ends at a Chill Zone. Get there fast, because the last team to stand on the carpet of completion, may be cut from the competition. But the first team to reach our last Chill Zone, will win… $1,000,000!
:''[The contestants all cheer in excitement]''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Geoff''': Hey, who pushed all the buttons?
:'''MacArthur''': Gotta take the stairs.
:'''Sanders''': Or, we could just wait.
:'''MacArthur''': Hustle!
:'''Jen''': ''[shrugs]'' Meh. This'll probably still be faster.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Sanders''': Thighs on fire. So…queasy.
:'''MacArthur''': So you're one of those skinny-fat people who can't climb ten flights of stairs without spewing chunks huh? What do you do? Yoga?
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': As most of the teams continue to climb or wait… and wait… and wait some more, the Fashion Bloggers are first to reach the observation deck, but the scare might be too much for them.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Kitty''': ''[enjoying the breezy wind]'' THIS IS SO COOL!
:'''Emma''': Focus! This is life or death.
:'''Kitty''': Come on, look at what we're doing, it's incredible! I feel so alive!
:'''Emma''': Yeah. Make sure they put that quote on your gravestone.
:'''Jen''': Promise me you'll never let go!
:'''Tom''': NEVER! Can you believe people pay to do this?
:'''Laurie''': We're doing this for you, Mother Earth! Don't kill us!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Ellody''': Well that was illuminating. ''[interview]'' Based on the splatter, the wind velocity was 45 knots. Twenty more, and we'd be splattered.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Carrie''': Zipline? I always wanted to do that!
:'''Gerry''': Zipline? I never wanted to do that!

Flight #2 carries the Sisters, Vegans, Fashion Bloggers, Mom & Daughter, Rockers, and Geniuses. And flight #3 has the LARPers, Goths, Surfer Dudes, Adversity Twins, Stepbrothers, and Tennis Rivals.

:'''Don''': [[w:Morocco|Morocco]]. Originally named [[w:Italy|Italy]] until it was discovered there already ''was'' an Italy. Home to scorchingly hot foods, as well as scorchingly hot deserts. Flight number one has just landed. Now the teams need to find the Don box, and collect their next travel tip.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Laurie & Ellody''': Cumin, cinnamon, paprika, saffron, ginger.
:'''Ellody''': That was surprisingly elementary.
:'''Laurie''': I know, right?

<hr width=50%>
:''[Vegans' interview]''
:'''Laurie''': Our camel benefit was beautiful. And deserts are really hot. If we win the million, we're a launching a stop riding camels campaign.
:'''Miles''': "Take hikes, not humps."
:'''Laurie''': Or, we could call it something else.
<hr width=50%>
:'''MacArthur''': I can't take this heat. Someone turn off the sun.
:'''Flain''': Oh man! The heat is so bad!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Miles''': ''[to the LARPers as they pass by; protesting]'' Take hikes, not humps!
:'''Laurie''': Okay, that slogan is really growing on me. ''[interview]'' Miles and I became friends when we (first) met at an anti-meat meeting.
:'''Miles''': When Laurie suggested we just call them "ings" instead of "meetings", I knew we were gonna get along.
<hr width=50%>
:''[Brody and Mary eat their stew bowls while their partners watch]''
:'''Geoff''': When I first met Brody, he was eating a cat's hairball on a dare. Ha ha. It was pure awesome.

:''[Chet is about to retch after seeing Owen eating a camel's drool]''

:'''Chet''': ''[swallows]'' My barf is actually less spicy than the stew.

<hr width=50%>
:'''Lorenzo''': We're done!
:'''Chet''': ''[holding his stomach in pain]'' Oh, I don't feel so good.
:'''Lorenzo''': That’s 'cause you ate puke, puke-eater!

<hr width=50%>
:''[Leonard and Tammy both got eliminated because they stopped to use "magic" to slow down the two remaining pairs but ultimately failed and were the last team to arrive to the Chill Zone]''

:'''Tammy''': Time reversal spell! ''[throws confetti]''
:'''Don''': Security!

:'''Carrie''': ''[gasps in surprise; excitedly]'' Oh yeah?
:'''Don''': [[w:Paris|Paris]], [[w:France|France]]. Home of the Mona Lisa, tiny coffee's and other things that annoy me like you wouldn't believe. ''[Cut to him standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower]'' Once in Paris, teams must make their way here, to the [[w:Eiffel Tower|Eiffel Tower]] and find their next tip.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Miles''': We walked our camel through the desert yesterday instead of riding him, so that way he can ''stay'' hydrated.
:'''Laurie''': And today, we're ''pedaling'' our moped so we don't use its fuel. ''[gasps in realization]'' I wish there was a way we could give this moped to our camel, right?

:'''MacArthur''': Nailed it! ''[gets a tip from the Don box]'' Huh. It's a Botch or Watch.
:'''Don''': In this Botch or Watch, whoever didn't eat the stew in Morocco must draw a caricature of their partner. When this local French ''artiste'' approves of the drawing, they'll receive their next tip.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Devin''': ''[as the local ''artiste'' rejects their caricature]'' What do you mean "no?" She got an "A" in art last semester. ''[the artiste shows him the caricature of him laying down with a six-pack]'' Oh, I see! It's too realistic.

:'''MacArthur''': Too bad you forgot your oars!
:'''Jacques''': Darn it!
:'''Josee''': Jacques, you were supposed to get the oars!

:'''Laurie''': The thought of coming last made us realize that we needed to step up our game.
:'''Miles''': Yeah, we were super charged up.
:'''Gerry''': ''[as the Vegans pedal past him and Pete; surprised]'' How is that possible? We're athletes. They eat bird seeds and dust!

:'''Don''': Your foot wasn't completely on the carpet, it was just out.
===''Mediterranean Homesick Blues [7.04]''===
:'''Don''': Yesterday's Chill Zone was the Louvre, which is today's starting point. Teams will start in the order they finished, which means Cadets are-- ''[The Ice Dancers walk up instead of the Police Cadets; halts them]'' Whoa, whoa, whoa. Yesterday's winners go first, icecapades.

:'''Don''': ''[voiceover, a map displays the northern part of France with Paris indicated by the Eiffel Tower, a dotted line travels to the southern part of France]'' Teams must take the train south to Calanque de Maubois. Calanque de Maubois skirts the [[w:Mediterranean|Mediterranean]] south of France with sand so fine you WANT it to get in your shorts. The Red Cliffs are just one of the many sites that make this a popular tourist spot. (Cut to the beach; in a speedo) Did I mention that the beaches are awesome? Because they ARE.

:'''Brody''': ''[reading]'' '''"Who Wants to Swim With…"''' ''[gasps in horror] <big>'''SHARKS?!'''</big>''

Huh? Wanna dance with the widow-maker?
:'''Sanders''': '''"Note: Eaten teammates will result in disqualification."''' Wow, they really thought of everything.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Geoff''': My grandma used to tell me that if you swim in a shark's mouth, you got to keep on swimming.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Miles''': If we win the money, I'm gonna start a charity dedicated to the preservation of the long misunderstood ocean creatures. ''[pulls the travel tip off the shark's fin; the shark snarls and chases after her as she screams and swims for her life; covered in scratches during her interview]'' I'm ''totally'' scratching sharks off my preservation list.

===''Bjorken Telephone [7.05]''===
:'''Don''': The geysers of [[w:Iceland|Geysirskil]] are part of an active volcano field tucked under a skimpy 20 centimeter layer of selicious center. Whatever that is. Sounds dangerous though.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Sanders''': There's the Don box! ''[gets a tip]'' It's an All-In. '''"Broken Icelandic Telephone?"'''
:'''Don''': For this All-In, teams need to hold down the button on this speaker box to hear me say, "Please give me my next travel tip." in Icelandic, with perfect pronunciation. ''[presses the button; through speaker, in Icelandic language] Vinsamlegast gefðu mér mina travel ábending.'' Then they must run across the geothermal field of hot springs, and repeat the sentence to this Icelandic local. ''[gestures to the swan lady and exclaims in disgust by her dress]'' Sweet sister of ducks, what are you wearing? Say the sentence right, you get the next tip. Say it wrong, and you have to go ''all'' the way back to hear the sentence again.

<hr width=50%>
:'''Devin''': ''[shivering while freezing]'' This reminds me of, um, last winter when Shelley locked me out of the car for buying her the wrong kind of tea.
:'''Carrie''': ''[interview]'' He got frost bite and nearly lost three toes over a tea? He deserves better than that. A rabid goat deserves better than that.

<hr width=50%>
:''[The Stepbrothers fight each other after saying the Icelandic sentence wrong]''

:'''Kitty''': Okay.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': As most of the teams struggle to finish the geyser challenge alive, the top six have reached the ice caves in Skaftafell National Park where their next challenge awaits.
:'''Jacques''': ''[gets a tip from the Don box]'' It's an Either/Or. '''"Feast or Fossil?"'''
:'''Don''': An Either/Or challenge requires teams to complete one of two tasks. In this case, teams can either dine on a traditional Icelandic feast, or they can find and retrieve one of the intact fossils embedded in the icy walls of this ice cave. Once their chosen task is complete, teams must bring their intact fossil, or empty platter, to the Chill Zone. The last team to arrive ''may'' be out of the race.

:'''Don''': You're 7th! But you've earned a one-hour penalty. Please step aside.
:'''Taylor''': Wait, what?
:'''Don''': After getting the Icelandic sentence wrong, you were ''both'' supposed to go back through the geyser field, but only Kelly did.
:'''Taylor''': ''[groans in frustration]'' Way to go, Mom! I sat around waiting for you so long my butt fell asleep, and now we get a penalty? ''You'' ruined my life.

:'''Don''': Sunny, sunny [[w:Brazil|Brazil]]! Home to bossa nova music, makers of fine coffee, and other things that keep me awake at night. Teams will travel here on these chartered planes.

:'''Laurie''': ''[sighs as her breath scent almost made Miles retch]'' What? What?!

<hr width=50%>
:'''MacArthur''': ''[reading the tip]'' It's a Botch or Watch.
:'''Don''': In this Botch or Watch, whoever didn't swim with sharks in the Mediterranean must try and perform a Brazilian write of passage, and stick their hand inside this mitt full of venomous bullet ants to retrieve their next travel tip. ''[throws a chicken piece in the mitt]'' This is insane!
:'''Kitty''': Bullet ants?
:'''Emma''': Little known fact: the pain caused by their venom can last 24 hours.
:'''Kitty''': ''[disappointed]'' Oh, great.
:'''Mickey''': I've been bitten by venomous creatures so often, I've developed an immunity! Last year on a school trip to Seaville, a box jellyfish sat on my head like a hat! ''[He and Jay try to high five but they miss]'' We don't high five much, it's pretty new to us. ''[Jay accidentally smacks him and he bumps into Laurie, causing her face to fall into the mitt and get bitten by the ants]'' I am so sorry!
:'''Laurie''': ''[slurred voice]'' No, no. I-I deserve that. ''[the other teams react in horror at her swollen face]'' What? What's wrong?
:'''Miles''': Um, nothing. ''[takes the tip off Laurie's head]'' Okay. '''"Feeling divine? Then swing your butts to the coconuts."'''
:'''Don''': ''[swinging across the gorge on a vine, yelling like Tarzan]'' Teams must cross this gorge by any means necessary, and then search for their next tip, hidden in these piles of coconuts.
:'''Laurie''': Sounds good to me. Let's go!
:'''Miles''': Uh, okay, this way!
:'''Lorenzo''': Called it! ''[sticks his hand in the mitt and screams as he gets bitten]''
:'''Chet''': It's my turn to botch! ''[sticks his hand in the mitt and screams as he gets bitten while getting the tip]''
:'''MacArthur''': ''[pushes Mickey out of the way]'' Hey, bullet ants, welcome to the gun show! ''[sticks her hand in the mitt and screams in pain as she gets bitten]'' Aah, they're on my person, they're on my person! ''[runs off with Sanders]''
:''[Mickey walks up to the mitt to stick his hand in and Taylor bolts up in front of him, and groans deadly at him]''
:'''Kitty''': Pst. He was here first. It's his turn.
:'''Taylor''': ''[annoyed]'' Ugh. Fine, but I'm next.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Taylor''': ''[blows the tip off the mitt]'' Doctors say my lung capacity is like so huge they can ever measure with my lung growers or whatever.
:'''Kelly''': When she was 5, she held her breath for seven minutes until we brought her the very expensive Malibu Bonnie doll house she wanted.
:'''Taylor''': It was totally ratchet, I played with it once, and threw it out.
:''[The Vegans swing across the gorge on a vine…]''
:'''Laurie''': ''[screams]'' Ah, the wind hurts my face! ''[they slam into the other side of the gorge]'' Now the cliff hurts my face!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Rock''': C'mon, guy! You gotta get the tip! ''[Spud sticks his hand in the mitt to get the tip and gets bitten and swollen by the ants, but doesn't scream in pain; Rockers' interview]'' Spud's got a delayed reaction to everything, including pain. So I don't expect him to feel those hundreds of excruciating bites, for like, two hours. Then he'll be all like, "Yow!" and then like, "Oooh!" and then like, "YOW!"
:'''Spud''': Uh, what are you talking about?
:''[Plane #1 carrying the eight teams finally arrives in Brazil]''
:'''Josee''': ''[takes a tip from the Don box]'' Botch or Watch. You're up, Jacques. Get the tip!
:'''Jacques''': ''[sticks his hand in the mitt, and screams in pain as the ants bite him]'' It stings like missing gold in Vancouver if I have a point! ''[interview]'' Arriving late to Brazil means we had to up our performance.
:'''Josee''': Like the way I did in the Olympic Trials.
:'''Jacques''': ''[agreeing]'' Yes, like the way ''we'' did that.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Don''': In this All-In challenge, one team member has to make a headpiece, the other a tail, worthy of walking the parade during Carnival. When this local approves of their handy work, they'll get their next tip.
:'''MacArthur''': Piece of cake. ''[interview]'' I know how to make costumes. I went trick-or-treating as a beat cop for 10 years straight.
:'''Sanders''': Seriously? Every year?
:'''MacArthur''': Well, one time I mixed it up and went as a parole officer, so, yeah.
:'''Don''': The lady cops take the lead, and back at the bullet ants, teams from plane #1 are still botching-or-watching.
:'''Geoff''': ''[after getting both his hands bitten by the ants]'' I pump iron. So, once righty started swelling, I just had to switch to the left. Symmetry is what bodybuilding's all about.
:'''Brody''': Dude, your mitts are ''ripped!''
:'''Kelly''': ''[to her daughter while grabbing onto a vine]'' Hop on, and hold on! '''''DO IT!'''''
:'''Taylor''': Mom, stop. You know screaming makes your neck waddle.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Ennui''': ''[getting a tip from the ant mitt and his hand bitten]'' Ow.
:'''Crimson''': Don't be so dramatic.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Miles''': Here's the headpiece. I'll start the tail. ''[interview]'' I'm gonna use some of my winnings to starts a support group called, "the Closet Vegan Society." For vegans like Laurie who've lost their way.
:'''Laurie''': ''[facing away]'' Hey, I didn't want to eat the meat. I thought I had to.
:'''Miles''': Did you have to lick the plate?
:'''Laurie''': ''[losing her temper]'' I thought what happens in Iceland, ''STAYS'' in Iceland!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Stephanie''': ''[scolding Ryan while they climb up the cliff after falling into the gorge]'' I said, "Let's use a vine, that tree's about to crack!" But did you listen? ''No!''
<hr width=50%>
:'''Owen''': ''[after swallowing a coconut in whole]'' It's okay! I got it down.
:'''Noah''': Great. Let's wait eight hours and see if there was a tip in ''that'' one. ''[pokes Owen in the stomach with a stick]''
:'''Owen''': Ow. You got me right in the coconut.
<hr width=50%>
:'''MacArthur''': ''[as the local rejects their second costume]'' It's called being creative!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Jacques''': Tell me again what happened?
:'''Josee''': I told you, a monkey jumped down from a tree, picked up a coconut and threw it at you.
<hr width=50%>
:''[Goths' interview]''
:'''Crimson''': ''[in her all-pitched-black Carnival costume]'' Bright colors are for people who are trying to make up for the fact that they lead sad, monotonous lives.
:'''Ennui''': Yeah.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Miles''': I had to take control of the team if we had any chance of finishing the challenge today. Laurie could hardly see because those mean ants turned her face into raw meat.
:'''Laurie''': Mmm…
:'''Miles''': Uh, I'm sorry, what was that a yummy sound?
<hr width=50%>
:''[The Vegans are the first to reach the Chill Zone]''
:'''Laurie''': Yes! Yes! From last place to first in one day!
:'''Miles''': We deserve it.
:'''Don''': No, you deserve a 30-minute penalty, which you're getting.
:'''Miles''': Why?! We won fair and square!
:'''Don''': Each one of you were supposed to make a component of the costume, but Miles made ''both'' of yours.
:''[Laurie groans in dismay and Miles mopes in disappointment and they step aside as the Ice Dancers leap onto the carpet]''
:'''Don''': Ice Dancers, you're in 1st place!
:'''Josee''': ''[blows a kiss]'' Yes! In your face, Veg- ''[she and Jacques scream frightfully at Laurie's swollen face]''
<hr width=50%>
:''[Due to Laurie's injuries from the bullet ants, Miles made both elements of the costume which broke the instructions of the challenge; The Vegans then got eliminated while facing a 30-minute penalty and by the time it has ended, every other team had surpassed them]''
:'''Don''': ''[to the Vegans]'' Well, tofu break, ladies. You've been cut from the race. Maybe you can get a job at a tempeh agency. Soy long.
:'''Miles''': All our plans for the money. ''[she and Laurie walk away, sadly]''
:'''Don''': Now that the last truly unselfish players have been eliminated, things are gonna get ugly. Next time on ''The Ridonculous Race.''
:'''Miles''': That millions dollars would've helped so many causes.
:'''Laurie''': I know. And I ate meat. ''[weeps]''
:'''Miles''': Your heart was in the right place. Not the one you ate. I mean, '''''your''''' heart, the one inside you. Well, I guess they're both inside you, but I mean the--
:'''Laurie''': Please, stop talking.

:'''Don''': ''[wearing vampire fangs; slurred]'' Transylvania! Transylvania! ''[spits out the teeth]'' [[w:Transylvania|Transylvania]]. Home of majestic mountains, old Saxon architecture, and the birthplace of the heebie-jeebies. Teams must travel here, to this castle, to receive their next tip.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Crimson''': Why do I have this strange feeling?
:'''Ennui''': I fear it might be… happiness.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Stephanie''': Ryan has voiced some concerns about how "competitive" I've been getting, but we reached an understanding.
:'''Ryan''': ''[clears throat]'' I need to try harder so that Stephanie doesn't feel the need to be constant and lone motivator.
:'''Stephanie''': ''[blows a kiss, hugging him]'' We are ''so'' going to win this.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Crimson''': Okay, Dracula was the first goth ever. He was our king. To be here is… I just… I can't. I'm so…
:'''Ennui''': Hey, that was close. You almost got color in your face.

:'''Tom & Jen''': ''[in unison]'' I did.
:'''Tom''': No, I did.
:'''Jen''': I did.
:'''Tom & Jen''': ''[in unison]'' I did. I did!
:''[Fashion Bloggers' interview]''
:'''Jen''': Okay. You typed it up, but it was my idea, so I was the creator and you were more like… a secretary.
:'''Tom''': I'm sorry. What?!
<hr width=50%>
:'''Ennui''': ''[holding a portrait]'' Doesn't Vlad look striking?
:'''Crimson''': I see the similarities.
:'''Ennui''': Stop. You'll make me blush.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Tom''': I hope there's enough room for your giant head and all your great ideas in there.
:'''Jen''': ''[annoyingly gets in the coffin]'' It'll be nice to have ''you'' carry me for a change.
:'''Tom''': The only change is that this time, you're in a coffin. ''[pushes down the coffin]''
<hr width=50%>
:''[The Ice Dancers reach the Gymnastic Training Center and get a tip from the Don box]''
:'''Jacques''': It's a Botch or Watch. Ah! Gymnastics!
:'''Don''': Gymnastics. Nastics that take place in a gym. Whoever didn't face the bullet ants in Brazil, must perform two gymnastic feats.
<hr width=50%>
:''[Don penalizes the Goths for ten minutes due to Crimson forcing Ennui to switch places during the coffin challenge]''
:'''Don''': You're in 6th place. Or ''would'' be in 6th place if you hadn't broken the rules with the coffin. 10-minute penalty!
:'''Crimson''': Totally worth it.
<hr width=50%>
:''[After finally completed the Botch or Watch, the Transylvanian Goths got eliminated because they were after 13 remaining teams]''
:'''Don''': I'm sorry, you're out.
Crimson: Oh!
:'''Don''': But these are very in. ''[camera zooms out, revealing him wearing a fez hat]''
Ennui: I wouldn't call this a failure in anyway. We so kicked butt.
Crimson: We nearly died so many times on that skywalk, on that geyser field, oh, and on that vine, but we totally did it.
Ennui: Not Good.
Crimson: Doing this race is a huge test to see of how strong your friendship is, and I think we did great.
Ennui: Greater than great.
Crimson: There sure are a lot of… bats, all of a sudden.

:'''Chet''': Ugh! This donkey reeks.
:'''Lorenzo''': He said the same thing about you.
:'''Chet''': Pfft, a talking donkey? Yeah, 'cause that's possible.
:'''Lorenzo''': It must be possible. 'Cause you're talking right now. Booyah! Call me when you got a comeback.
:'''Chet''': Lorenzo is a poo-head!
:'''Lorenzo''': Oh yeah? Chet's a tool!
:'''Junior''': How old are those two?
:'''Dwayne''': Ah, never mind them. Some people just don't appreciate quality family time, eh, right, sporto?
:'''Junior''': Uh, yeah, mm, sure, dad.
:'''Taylor''': You're ''so'' lucky you got to bring your dad.
:'''Dwayne''': Oh, I'm the lucky one. I bet doing this trip with your mom is pretty awesome too though, right?
:'''Taylor''': Not really.
:'''Kelly''': Taylor's more of a… daddy's girl.
:'''Taylor''': Daddy and I have loads in common. Like, we both love being successful, and we both hate avocado.

:'''Emma''': While trying to encourage Kitty to drive into the bay, I brought up the pool to our grandmother's condominium.

<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Stephanie''': OPEN YOUR EYES! Our donkey is going way slower than the other ones, it wants us to lose! ''[interview]'' I'm not too competitive.
:'''Ryan''': ''[clears throat]'' Yes, you are.
:'''Stephanie''': Are you okay, sugar-plum? I just wanna win, and this ''is'' a competition. So, yeah, ''[gets up]'' when things get tense, we can't hold back! ''[walks closer to the camera, inch-by-inch]'' We gotta dig deep, work hard, give it everything!

:'''Josee''': No, not again! Bronze, it's the worst medal. The road of shame is paved with bronze.
:'''Ennui''': ''[as Crimson makes her Hawaiian grass skirt all dark black]'' She only wears black. Even if it's grass, it ''must'' be dark grass.

:'''Taylor''': You need to step your game up, mother! For serious!
:'''Kelly''': We're a team, Taylor.
:'''Taylor''': I know you aren't used to winning, like me. But maybe you need to follow my example more, because--
:'''Kelly''': ''[snapping annoyingly]'' You've ''never'' won anything in your life, Taylor! Never! Not one race, not one medal, ''NOTHING!''
:'''Taylor''': Wait, what?! My room is ''full'' of trophies and medals!
:'''Kelly''': Because your dad ''bought'' a trophy store! What kind of trophies come in the mail? And guess who paid your coaches to lie? Yep, daddy.

:'''Dwayne''': One time Junior made pancakes for Mother’s Day and I said they’re overdone, he almost cried.

:'''Taylor''': Meh, it was fun while it lasted.
:'''Kelly''': I hope I never touch another camel, but I loved Paris. I can't believe how good your drawing was.
:'''Taylor''': I know, so good. I can't believe your upper body strength. I need to see your trainer like, yesterday.
:'''Kelly''': You know, it's funny. We entered this race to win more money. But we ended up getting something we ''actually'' needed.

:'''Don''': Twins, you've raced hard and overcame a lot of issues no one has ever heard of, but I'm sorry. You're out.
:'''Jay''': We gathered that. We didn't win, but I'm proud of us. Our doctor said we'd last a week, our physiotherapist said a day, our gym teacher just laughed and laughed.
===''My Way Or Zimbabwe [7.12]''===
:'''Spud''': ''[reading the tip]'' '''"Go to Helsinki Airport and catch the next flight to Zimbabwe?"'''
:'''Don''': Located in southwestern Africa, [[w:Zimbabwe|Zimbabwe]] has stunning flora, exotic fauna, and majestic scenery.

:'''Junior''': We got separated. And the family rule is, if you get separated, go to your destination. Uh, do you mind if I tag along?
:'''Ryan''': Oh-ho-ho. You don't wanna get in this boat. Stephanie might hit you with an oar and shove you off a cliff!
:'''Stephanie''': Are you ''still'' talking about that? "Ryan, Ryan, Ryan!" Get over it.
:'''Junior''': How did you guys manage to get a selfie? ''[Stephanie tosses him their camera]'' Wow. That's impressive.
:'''Stephanie''': Ha! You hear that? Impressive!
:'''Ryan''': He doesn't know any better. He's just a child.
:'''Junior''': Actually, I've got a chest hair, so…
:'''Stephanie''': So he's already more of a man than you, Ryan.
:'''Don''': While most of the other teams have already started the rhino challenge, our last place Ice Dancers have finally landed in Africa.
:'''Josee''': Out of our way, sky waitress! We're in a race!
:''[Meanwhile…]''
:'''Stephanie''': Well, I only boss you around because you have no leadership skills, guts, or common sense.

:'''Devin''': ''[reading the tip]'' '''"Stop in at Geelong maximum security."'''

As teams arrive, they'll be throw into cells. Each cell is equipped with four methods of escape: tunnels, trap doors, hidden tools, or bars. Once they break out of their cell, they're free to make their way to today's final Don box, here on the Barwon river. Boomerangs can only be used here. After they pass this point, the boomerang expires. And, as a special bonus treat…
:'''Junior''': ''[reading]'' '''"First team to today's Chill Zone gets to make a phone call home."''' Cool, we can call Mom.
:'''Dwayne''': Or better yet, order a pizza. ''[Junior points to the camera; clears throat]'' Eh, b-but of course, you know, I'm joking.

:'''Don''': Sorry, one phone call only. So, how's the girlfriend?
:'''Devin''': ''[devastated]'' She's dumped me… for her tennis instructor! ''[starts sobbing hysterically]''

:'''Rock''': WHAT?!
:'''Spud''': Aw, man. Drag.
:''[The Stepbrothers both laugh]''
:'''Rock''': ''[imitating buzzer]'' Why'd you waste time reviewing footage if you were just gonna boot both of us?
:'''Don''': Because I forgot, obviously.

Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump was going to be called Concussion Valley, but the name was already taken. Teams must fly to Lethbridge, Alberta, then drive to this spot to receive their next travel tip.

:'''Carrie''': Oh, you weren’t that bad.
:'''Devin'''m Don't worry, the rage has left the Devin. I’m not angry at Shelly for dumping me anymore, infact, I want you back, baby, and I’ll do anything to prove it! I’ll climb to the top of the tree!

:'''Brody''': Awesome! Circles are my favorite shape, dude!
:'''Don''': The [[w:Arctic Circle|Arctic Circle]], home to the world's harshest climate, whitest animals, and favorite storybook characters. Teams must fly here by Cessna, two teams per flight, to get their next tip. And they'll be chilled to the bone to find out there's another boomerang in play. Find this attached to your tip, and you can make another team repeat the first challenge. Just our way of adding some, "Oh, that's cold." to the cold.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Stephanie''': Second doesn't win a million bucks. We've only been first once because you keep dragging us down!

<hr width=50%>
:''[Best Friends' interview]''

<hr width=50%>
:'''Ryan''': ''[after successfully tossing a ring onto a narwhal's tusk]'' Yes! I put us into first place!
:'''Stephanie''': Can we go now or do you want to stay and build a statue of yourself? ''[interview]'' Every time Ryan finally manages to do something right, the whole world has to drop everything so we can all ''celebrate'' his "major achievement."
:'''Ryan''': You know what? You're a joy-vampire. You… ''[imitates blood-sucking]'' suck the joy right out of everything! If I had a time machine, I'd go back to our first date, and slap myself.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Ennui''': ''[interview]'' When did Devin get so… ''cool?''
<hr width=50%>

:'''Ryan''': Great. Now the Goths are ahead of us! Way to blow our lead! Why can't you do something right for a change and use the boomerang?
:'''Stephanie''': I boomerang Ryan!
:'''Ryan''': ''[shocked]'' WHAT?! We're on the same team!
:'''Crimson''': ''[interview]'' It's sad when love turns to poison. ''[she and Ennui hold hands]'' That's nice.
:'''Don''': ''[going through the rule book]'' The rules don't say anything about being unable to boomerang themselves. So I'll allow it. But since it's a Botch-or-Watch, this time, Stephanie has to ring the narwhal.
:'''Stephanie''': Great. Now I can show Ryan how stupid easy it is to put a hoop on a giant fish.
<hr width=50%>
:'''MacArthur''': I used to hate mammals. But this narwhal is pretty cool.

:'''Ryan''': We'd be finished already if you hadn't boomerang…
:'''Stephanie''': Are you ''still'' talking about that? Ugh! Ancient history.
:'''Ryan''': If we don't finish this igloo, ''we'll'' be ancient history. ''[interview]'' If we end up being eliminated after everything that happened-- the fighting, the break-up, the boomerang, I'm not sure our relationship will survive it.
:'''Stephanie''': I know.

:'''Ryan''': I’m so happy right now. I want ready to go home. I.. still have some feelings for Stephanie.
:'''Stephanie''': I also have feelings for Ryan. And we are a good team it was this competition that broke us up.
:'''Ryan''': Totally! If we win some place where there was no stress, hardship, or challenges, I think we’d be happy.
:'''Stephanie''': And together forever.
:'''Ryan''': I forgive you for boomeranging us.
:'''Stephanie''': Forgive me? Haha. Do you know how many times you’ve almost gotten us eliminated?
:'''Ryan''': Even if that were true which it isn’t, at least i’d never heard out team on purpose.
:'''Stephanie''': No, you just heard us for beating bad at everything.
:'''Ryan''': Ugh! You’re impossible!
:'''Don''': ''[pops up]'' The hate is back on The Ridonculous Race.
===''Got Venom? [7.18]''===

:'''Ryan''': Yes, Stephanie.
:'''Stephanie''': Mr. I'm-King-of-the-Ring-Toss.

:'''Geoff''': ''[shudders]'' I hope it's warm there.
:'''Don''': Oh, it is. [[w:Flores|Flores]], [[w:Indonesia|Indonesia]] is packed with beautiful empty beaches, majestic mountain ranges, and ominously silent jungles. Teams must fly to Flores, then take taxis to the Don box in this village. How do the locals keep tourists away from this island paradise? Nobody knows. But, it might have something to do with the Komodo dragon problem.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Geoff''': It's an All-In. '''"How to Milk Your Dragon."''' Whoa. We have to do what?
:'''Don''': That's right. Just when you thought these beasts were harmless, it turns out their saliva is loaded with '''''venom.''''' Teams must collect one vial of Komodo drool, and hand it to this kid to get their next tip. ''[screams as a Komodo dragon pops up next to him]'' That said, try not to get bitten. In case you do, side effects may include: headache, dizziness, and being eaten by a Komodo dragon.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Brody''': Boo-yah! One cup of doom drool!
:'''Don''': Hold on. ''[swipes the vial out of Brody's hand and examines it]'' This is extinguisher foam! ''[throws the vial aside]'' Try pulling another fast one like that, and you're out of the race! ''[threateningly points to the Surfer Dudes]'' Got it?
:'''Brody''': ''[frightfully]'' Who could've replaced our venom with extinguisher foam?
<hr width=50%>
:''[Loki stands on a tree branch and throws acorns at a Komodo dragon, waking it up; the dragon tries to catch Loki and holds onto the tree and starts drooling; the Goths put a bucket next to the dragon to collect its drool, and stand behind a bush]''

:'''Crimson''': ''[interview]'' Loki doesn't know fear. ''[the dragon smells her and Ennui's deodorant, and runs away]'' Yes. Smell your defeat.
:''[Ennui fills up the vial of Komodo drool from the bucket; the Ice Dancers pop out of the bushes watching them]''

:'''Owen''': As reality shows go, that got as real as reality shows ''get.''
:'''Noah''': Before it started, I didn't have a girlfriend and now I do, so, it's an easy favorite.
:'''Owen''': I mean, the million would've been nice, but winning isn't everything. Also, I already won a million.

:''[The Daters/Haters step up to start the magic challenge]''

:'''Stephanie''': So, the assistant goes into one side of the cage, the lion is in the other. The cage gets covered, and the magician pulls the lever to the correct position to drop the divider and the lion off the stage. That way the assistant doesn't get mauled. Let's go. I'll be the magician.
:'''Ryan''': Nah, nah. The girl is always the assistant, the man is the magician.
:'''Stephanie''': You better hope that dress can fit over your thick head.
:'''Ryan''': Aw, come on, Steph, be reasonable.
:'''Stephanie''': Says the guy who dumped me on television.
:'''Ryan''': ''[dismayed]'' Crud.
:'''Don''': As the Cadets and Sisters race to the Don Box to choose an Either-Or, Best Friends, Carrie and Devin lose valuable ground.

<hr width=50%>
:'''Kitty''': Which one of us should drive?
:'''Emma''': You're better at video games than me, but can you handle it?
:'''Kitty''': I think so. ''[interview]'' I used to be obsessed with video games. One time, I played "Hockey All Stars" for two days straight. I would've kept going, but Emma unplugged my game station and refused to give it back until I took a shower.
:'''Emma''': She smelled like a bag of wet popcorn. Ugh.
:'''Kitty''': Not my finest hour.

:'''Sanders''': '''"…and Who Loves Dip?"'''
:'''Don''': For this All-In, a team member must eat one hot pepper from this food cart. Once eaten, wave the corresponding flag color. Then the second team member must act like an Acapulco cliff diver. Eat the hottest pepper, and your partner leaps from the lowest ledge, there. Eat a mid-range pepper, and your partner jumps from there. But eat the mildest pepper, and your partner is basically jumping from the space station. Cliff jumpers will find their next tip, attached to canteens, anchored along the bottom of the bay.
:'''Carrie''': '''"The canteens are filled with just enough cold milk to soothe the pepper-eater's burning mouth."'''

:'''Ryan''': Aw, man, are you serious? She couldn't even eat the middle pepper?! I thought we were good! Come on!
:'''Stephanie''': We may be on better terms, but the man still dumped me on TV. If I can make him suffer a little, I will.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Devin''': ''[takes a medium pepper from the cart after recovering from the heat enough]'' Okay. We can do this, for Carrie.
:'''Carrie''': Okay, uh, not so bad, Olympic divers do it. They're sure they trained first as they don't die doing it, but still...
:'''Devin''': ''[screaming in pain]'' Fire! Am I on fire?!
:'''Carrie''': Devin! Kitty, is he okay?!
:'''Kitty''': You may wanna start climbing! ''[eats the medium pepper]''
:'''Emma''': ''[calling out]'' Doing great, Kitty!

:'''Emma''': Nice work, Kit! ''[jumps off the cliff and into the bay below]''
:'''Devin''': This is nothing. I can… ''[eats the medium pepper and ends up spitting it out and screams]''

:'''Ennui''': Nothing.
:'''Crimson''': But you look so emotional.
:'''Ennui''': Loki's gone. ''[interview]'' Once, Santa brought me a black kitten. I named him Toxic Mold. One day, he slipped out the door and never came back.
:'''Crimson''': No bunny gets left behind.
<hr width=50%>
:'''Devin''': Wait. Was Carrie holding hands with Ryan?! Was she? ''[accidentally rubs pepper juice in his eyes, causing him to be fully blind]'' AAAH! Pepper juice! MY EYES!!!

:'''Carrie''': "Holding hands?" I was just helping Ryan jump.
:'''Devin''': Oh, of course you were. You were just being "helpful". Sometimes too helpful. But we should focus on the million.

:''[Sanders reaches the Chill Zone herself while her partner tries waking up her burro]''
:'''Don''': Um, you seem to be shy one loud, aggressive partner.
:''[The Ice Dancers show up]''
:'''Jacques''': Ah! There's only ''one'' cop. They don't win!
:'''Don''': Not yet. But unless one of you coughs up two burros, I'll have to give you a 10-minute penalty.
:'''Jacques and Josee''': NO!

:'''Crimson''': We could always go back to Vegas I guess, if we need the money. I hope the Ice Dancers get what they deserve.
:'''Ennui''': I hope they get worse than that.

:'''Emmy''': Yeah, Mom. We were just coloring. There. Look what I did.
:'''Max''': Whoa. This looks just like Cassie.
:'''Emmy''': Maybe it's because it was Cassie. And I'm gonna give it to her as a gift.
:'''Max''': Were you going to Dragon Land? Yeah. Me too. Because I got a great surprise for Ord. And he's gonna like it.
:'''Emmy''': What is that?
:'''Max''': It's bubble gum. And I've only been chewing it one time. Hey. Maybe we should get something for Zak, and Wheezie.
:'''Emmy''': I know. Maybe we should let them borrow our harmonicas. So, come on. Max, Let's just go to Dragon Land.
===''To Kingdom Come'' [1.2a]===

:'''Ord''': ''[breaks another piece again]'' This much?
:'''Max''': More...
:'''Ord''': ''[depressed]'' Oh... this was so hard! ''[until ultimately divide his cupcake in half and offers it to Monsieur Marmadune]''

:''[The episode starts out in the playroom where Max and Emmy are wrapping presents. Emmy’s is all wrapped up quick and angrily-ish while Max’s is rather wrinkled and uneven.]''
:'''Max''': Look Emmy! I'm done wrapping my birthday present for Ord. Neat, huh?
:''[Max holds up his present, but the ribbon unravels and falls off.]''
:'''Emmy''': [unsure] I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, Max!
:''[Max struggles to tie the ribbon back on. Emmy refuse to help.]''
:'''Emmy''': No time, no time, no time! For a very important date. No time to make a bow for you. I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.
:'''Max''': Now, this is curious. It must be awfully important, like a party or something.
:''[Max puts his left index finger on the knot while Emmy ties the bow. But it ends up being so tight, Max's finger gets stuck in the ribbon.]''
:'''Max''': Hey! My finger’s stuck!
:'''Emmy''': [with voice raised and sounding genuinely annoyed] Come on, Max, there is no time to help Cassie! This no time to get ready for Ord's surprise birthday party!
:''[Max and Emmy hold the scale and start saying their lately wish.]''
:'''Max and Emmy''': I'm late, I'm late, I'm late with all my very important heart. No time to fly with dragons in a land apart.

:'''Emmy''': We're late! This is the perfect rush to Cassie!!
:'''Max''': I'm late!!!
:''[Max grabs her wrist and they're running to the dragon tail waving behind a tree but is blue, not pink.]''
:'''Max''': Cassie! I'm late, I'm late....
:''[The figure that comes out from behind the tree is, in fact, a door banging and pounding]''
:'''Emmy''': ''[angrily whispering, hissing irritated, quietly]'' '''SHHH!!''' Quiet, Max! Don't say such things to King Ord! Hide your present!
:''[Emmy swipes her gift behind her back and Max tries to hide his but his finger is still stuck on the bow. Ord approaches the kids and he bows down.]''
:'''Ord''': Max, Emmy, I'm ruler of my birthday! Look what mom and dad got me! ''[shows them a pencil with a feathery end and he draws a little tic-tac-toe grid in midair]''
:'''Ord''': It draws on anything, how much greater I'd be! What a king! I'd be ruler of all that I see! Oh, you wanna bark orders?
:'''Max''': Leave me alone!
:'''Emmy''': We are not friends!
:''[Suddenly, Ord Gets Growling In Frustration At The Angry Snaps And He Launches Into An Rage Outburst]'' '''YOU KNOW WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''
:'''Emmy''': [thunders angrily] '''OH REALLY, ORD, ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?! IT ISN'T FAIR! IT IS, IN FACT, A COMPLETE AND TOTAL OUTRAGE!!!''' We're angry with you, Your Majesty. I'm serious! Today's your birthday! So you '''LEAVE ME ALONE!!!'''
:'''Ord''': No! You're just not looking hard enough! I don't wanna play!
:''[Max is angry without say yes, he remembered...]''
:'''Max''': You can't. No time to meet Cassie, I will NEVER seen you again and leave me alone forever.
:'''Emmy''': ''[interrupting]'' I'm upset!
:'''Ord''': Louder!
:'''Emmy''': [loud] I'm upset!
:'''Ord''': '''LOUDER!'''
:'''Emmy''': [louder] '''I'M UPSET!'''
:'''Ord''': [shouting to enraged] '''SILENCE!! For the final TIME, SAY IT LOUDER!!!'''
:'''Emmy''': [turns red in anger, furiously growls] '''I'M UPSET!!! I SAID "STOP IT"!!! I'M REALLY TIRED OF YOU!!!''' I’m never let you again! Never, Never, NEVER letting mention that being such a bully, and you didn't do anything that’s mine ever having a picnic without Cassie!
:'''Ord''': (growls angry as well) Well, Today's my very favorite day of the year, than you would be better off without me, I've ruined their lives, and I wish I'd never been born!
:'''Emmy''': (angrily) I'm late!! I'm very late!!! Now I won't want my help tomorrow anymore to get out of here and you're going our separate ways forever is much too braggy as bossy king! So, this is no fun to be boss around your dumb the whole day with you doing all kinds of ridiculous straight with you, King Ord! Now get out, or you're '''FIRED!! I! GIVE!! UP!!!'''

:'''Max''': '''LEAVE!!!'''
:'''Ord''': [angry, raising an eyebrow] '''I WISH I'D NEVER BEEN BORN!!!'''
:'''Emmy and Max''': [furiously pointing] '''OUT!'''
:'''Ord''': [snaps] '''I WISH I HAD NEVER BEEN BORN!!!!!'''
:'''Emmy and Max''': ''[they're angrily pushing Ord and furiously slams the door, leaving Ord all alone, pointing once more]'' '''OUT!'''
:'''Ord''': [starts growls madly] That's it, I am the ruler of all that I'm leaving!!! [storms off furiously at a huff]
:''[The kids later arrived angrily & lately at the treehouse.]''
:'''Max''': ''[firmly whispering]'' I'll never join the secret knock!
:''[Angry, Emmy shakes her fist in rages out a series of gasps, which get more tense by shoves into his mouth, hearing banging & pounding on the door many times and makes them growling. The door opens, furiously revealing Cassie.]''
:'''Cassie''': Shh, Calm down, Max! calm down, Emmy! Shush, shush! You must be upset. Are you upset?! I thought you were Ord.
:'''Max''': [sadly] No, this was Ord's fault with a mix up with psychical violence blame. Look, King Ord’s too angry about being bossy birthday in the meadow.
:''[Max and Emmy head inside while Cassie gets a little worried that Ord might have followed them.]''
:'''Cassie''': What's wrong with you, Emmy? Come on.
:'''Emmy''': [growls] I don't want to hear about ord. We had too frustrated when he's way too bossy.
:'''Max''': [glares] Of course you're so late! I don't understand make him bossy traitor!? If you do, you're fired at military school!
:'''Cassie''': Just chill out, chill out. I bet he couldn’t play with the bossiness of King Ord, who's willing to barked orders until we surprise him. So don't say a word 'til you two can help me blow up the balloons.
:''[Cassie hands Max and Emmy grabs a balloon angrily. Max tries inflate one up but release and comes out flying. Max then wobbles around holding his head.]''
:'''Max''': Wow! I’m dizzy.
:'''Cassie''': Don’t worry, Max. I’ll blow them up.
:''[Cassie blows up a balloon herself.]''
:'''Max''': Hey, That's insane!
:''[Emmy swipes Max the balloons.]''
:'''Emmy''': You have done that to me too many times, Max. I will not stand for what you did! You're fired! So you '''LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!'''
:'''Max''': [angry] Go Away, Em!
:''[She furiously storms off without helping Max as he holding three balloons, a green and pointy one with yellow spots, and lavender one shaped like a star and a pink one with a smiley face on it, to whom Max sticks his tongue out and laugh.]''
<hr width="90%"/>
:'''Zak''': Ord! What's the matter with you, Your Majesty?
:'''Wheezie''': Why are you angry, Your Majesty?
:'''Ord''': (ragingly) You hush up your mouth, Go away and no right to talk to leave me alone, and I wish I'd never been born!!!
:'''Zak''': Do you hear that?
:'''Wheezie''': Really? ''[Looks to the ones on top of their heads.]'' Oh, those hats. Those aren’t party hats. They're uh... umm...
:'''Zak''': Rain-hats. Only it's not raining. Guess we don’t need them, Wheezie.
<hr width="90%"/>:''[Just then his royal banging and a pounding is heard on the door.]''
:'''Zak''': ''[whispering]'' Is he coming this way?!
:'''Sid Sycamore''': ''[whispering]'' That wasn’t the secret knock. It’s King Ord! He rudes everything!
:''[Everyone gasps & scrambles to hide everything very quickly. Zak and Wheezie take the pizza, Max puts away the party hats, and Emmy swipes the balloons and hands them to Sid Sycamore without taking.]''
:'''Sid Sycamore''': [warns her] Emmy, no swiping! Emmy, no swiping! Emmy, no swiping!
:'''Emmy''': [madder] Sid, You're fired! I'm too angry! '''YOU ARE FIRED!!'''
:'''Sid Sycamore''': [angrily scolding] It's too late, you're a crook... [furiously] You're a '''CHEAT''' and a '''SWINDLER...!''' '''THAT'S''' it! I will never seen you again or you're fired!! [lividly] '''YOU'RE AN INHUMAN MONSTER!!!'''
:'''Emmy''': [screamed furiously] '''I SAID "YOU ARE FIRED"!! THAT'S IT, SID!!'''
:''[Meanwhile they hand the rest of the stuff to Zak and Wheezie.]''
:'''Zak''': Where are you gonna put that?
:''[Wheezie ultimately decides to put the stuff in their pouch.]''
:'''Zak''': Ew! That feels gross!
:''[All that was left was the tablecloth which they remove as Ord slams the door open.]''
:'''Ord''': [snaps] I’m very annoyed with you, Emmy! I'm king, and I wish I'd never been born!!
:''[Inside the gang snarl on the floor with a puzzle.]''
:'''Emmy''': [angrily scolds very pissed] You're bossy, King Ord! I'm very angry with you! This is your last warning! It's a complete disaster when enough is enough!! You did not just say that, '''You did not just say that!!!!'''
:'''Ord''': [getting angry] '''I did just say it! I said, I WISH I'D NEVER BEEN BORN!!!''' I'm bossy and annoyed without doing anything and I'm king, and you look annoyed all the time without some help, I've ruined their lives, and I wish I'd never been born! ''[dragon glares in the room.]'' You don't think I'm too bossy, do you?
:'''Zak''': '''LIAR!''' We decided not to have the picnic.
:'''Wheezie''': I'm afraid you are. Putting together a puzzle isn't fun anymore.
:'''Ord''': [mad] I don't want to play puzzles! I'm the bossy king! I'm the king of a moss-covered, three-handled family gredunza! Nobody's gonna leave this treehouse until I wish I'd never been born!!
:'''Emmy''': [losing control of her outrage] Go away, King Ord! You lost a moss-covered, three-handled family gredunza if I'm saying bossy to you! If you're way too bossy what word I'm not supposed to say, It's too bossy, I'm disappointed. I am very disappointed....
:'''Ord''': [growling ragingly yells] '''I WISH I HAD NEVER BEEEEEEN BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORN!!!!!'''
:'''Max''': [angrily screams] '''NAH-UH! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT ANYMORE! I WILL YOU LEAVE ME ALONE AND QUIT IT!!!!!'''
:''[Emmy Slaps His Forehead. Zak Slaps His As Well, Wheezie Hits In His Face. This Challenge Erupted Into A Violence Argument Of Fury Angry Fight With Powers]'' K.D. Lang: [Overlapping while singing] Join Timon and Pumbaa cow!
:'''Max''': I'm feeling very angry right now without help, King Ord!!!
:'''Ord''': '''SILENCE!!! YOU'D BETTER GET ALL OF THAT HURTFUL THING'S THROUGH YOUR RUDE HEAD!!!!!''' Forget it!! I said, "I wish I'd never been born!!!" I am the boss of the ruler to leave me alone!!!
:'''Max''': [sternly] That's it! See if I'll leave you alone!!
:''[Bossy King Ord storms to the school and incredibly pissed off at him for all of the hurtful birthday and inside he finds Quetzal wrapping a gift neatly.]''
:'''Ord''': You're just a show-off, Mr. Quetzal! Never, ever mention '''THAT''' name in my presence! '''I AM THE BOSSY *KING*!!!'''
:'''Quetzal''': Oh, Yes, Sire, you look bossy, King Ord. I was extraordinarily busy... You’re so cranky. You actually went and did it to illustrate the differences in your royal managerial approaches.
:'''Ord''': [coldly] Not the others seem to think they're waste time. ''[without notices the gift.]'' [angrily] I'm the boss. I scolded at her, Because she broke the rules! I'm king of the birthday parties!
:'''Quetzal''': Temper! Temper! Your Majesty, please... I don't like to complain, But A very good friend of mine, We didn't see any rules.
:''[Ord goes back to being angrily glare.]''
:'''Quetzal''': What’s the matter? I know you're angry about your birthday without friends and you're refuse to be gone. What’s wrong?
:'''Ord''': [raging furiously blows up, screams in frustration, angrily yells with sobbing] This is the stupidest time to me a favor and the "worstest" rule, I'm the king of the panic! I'm the frustrated king! I'm the bossy king because I'm the king of my birthday, and I'm the king of special day, but my friends must not like me anymore because they don't want to play with 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void IF - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy! And Cassie didn't invite me to her picnic, and then everyone's beginning to believe I'll never see my "et cetera, et cetera... "Fax mentis, incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera... "Memo bis punitor delicatum!!" It's out of the control without decided to make a puzzle instead of a picnic! I am the king! I can do whatever I could even push one piece together, they '''STOMPED''' on the floor, which now has to be pushed me away, because I'm the king of my birthday! And I'm the king of a grouchy girl sometimes... I'm the bossy king, and think I'm king! they're gonna mess it up for my birthday and it's all your fault, and then before I will be able to our army, would still be alive, it's your fault she's mad!! And now I don't have a happy birthday without looking hard enough to see some stupid royal birthday, and I wish I'd never been born!!! [walks off in a huff]
:'''Quetzal''': Oh..., Outrageous! I know you've already just feeling very angry, Ord, yelled by a grouchy girl, It's not your fault and we say something very special to each other.
:'''Ord''': [he ragefully stomps, firmly fuming] Why bother? I'm king of stupid to understand anyway! I hadn't shown up even dragons celebrate my birthday in the first place, maybe I don't have to worry everything that was important to me! There's nothing, no, NOTHING, that's grouchy than me, and I wish I'd never been born!! I said it again! I wish I'd never been B-O-R-N, born!
:'''Quetzal''': ''[checks his pocket watch]'' Chill out, Ord! Every year, I know what to do to make you feel better.
:'''Ord''': [sarcastically] Aw, forget it! I said it again! I wish I'd never been B-O-R-N, born! I wish I'd never been born! I said, "I wish I'd never been born!!" There, I said it again! '''I WISH I'D NEVER BEEN BORN!!'''
:'''Quetzal''': [calmly] I know you aren't. So, come with me.
:''[Ord and Quetzal go over to the treehouse where the others are watching by the window and all arguing, shouting, and they started kicking and laugh.]''
:'''Ord''': I'm the mad king, I'm the mad king! I'm the really, really, really mad king, Quetzal, I cannot let you put our family if they don't want to play with me! For I am the ruler of all that I see!!
:'''Quetzal''': Oh, I see if you are mad. Courage, Ord. Go up there and tell them what you told me.
:'''Ord''': Are you sure if I'm not mad?.
:'''Quetzal''': Si.
:'''Ord''': Okay. I love too.
:''[Ord goes up the stairs and he takes one last look toward Quetzal who gives him a nod, before knocking on the door.]''
:'''Cassie''': I’m too busy right now, but we're almost done.
:'''Ord''': It's me, King Ord! And I'm too bossy and frustrated 'cause I'm ruler of my birthday but no one wants me around. And I don't want to be your friend anymore! I don't want to be your friend anymore at all!
:'''Cassie''': Hey, You're so bossy.
:'''Ord''': Yes, you did! You did!!! We're doomed who’s being such a bully!! It's your fault because you were going our separate ways forever. So, this is… This is your dumb the whole day with you doing all kinds of ridiculous straight to stomp to you when I'm bossy!!
:'''Cassie''': Okay, Don't be mad. Guess what? You can come in now.
:'''Ord''': [anger turns to thrilled to apologizes about being difficult being frivolous things at the wrong time.] Really? I just wanted to apologize because sometimes I was me too bossy.
:'''Emmy''': Aww, that's okay, You can knock gently on the door but don't banging and pounding hard. Go ahead, Ord.
:'''Ord''': Oh, Sure.
:''[Ord throws the royal crown and the royal cape away, Knocking gently, opens the door and is surprised with excitement.]''
:'''All:''' '''SSUURRPPRIIISSSEE!!!''' ''[everyone claps and cheers, celebrates happily and laughing]'' '''HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ORD!'''
:'''Ord''': You like me! You really like me!
:''[Max runs up to Ord and hugs him]''
:'''Max''': Of course we do, Ord. You're our biggest, bestest friend of all.
:'''Emmy''': I’m so glad it’s you. I'm sorry I was just felt so mad when i yelled at you. It's just that... because I just didn't want you to find out and I'll try to not be bossy about the surprise party.
:'''Ord''': Wow. Well, I was really surprised!
:''[Wheezie lights the candle with her fire breath]''
:'''Wheezie''': Come on, Ord. Make a wish and blow out the candle.
:'''Ord''': Okay, here we go!
:''[Ord uses wind power to blow it out and everyone applauds]''
:'''Max''': All right, Hooray for you, Ord.
:''[All clapping and cheering]''
:'''Emmy''': Good one.
:''[Quetzal walks around with a knife in his hand and starts cutting the cake]''
:'''Ord''': ''[with his mouth full]'' Boy! This is the really best birthday I've ever marvelous me! For I am the good ruler of all that I see! [the dragons cheered and dance happily to the music.]

:'''Max''': Oooh! My tummy hurts from eating all that cake.
:'''Emmy''': Me too. But it sure is a yummy tummyache.
:'''Max''': ''[laughs]'' Yeah.
:'''Emmy''': Guess What, Max? We're Not able to Rush for Ord's Surprise Party. We're Good.
:'''Max''': Yeah, I will tell my mom. I want a surprise birthday party this year.
:'''Emmy''': I Love a Surprise! But if you know it’s a surprise party, it won’t be a surprise.
:''[Max thought about that and realized she’s right, cheering.]''
:'''Max''': Hooray for you, Emmy. Mummy! Emmy has something to ask you!
:''[Max heads out the door while Emmy just smiles her head, reliefing.]''

:'''Emmy''': Yeah. They're mad. I didn't let them do what they wanted.
:'''Sid Sycamore''': Well, if you choose all the colors and decide where everything should go, what's left for your friends to do?
:'''Emmy''': They can, uh... Not much, I guess. Maybe I'd better help them put things back the way they wanted?

:'''Emmy''': Wait up! ''[they stop, she sighs and asks for forgiveness, with the purpose of amendment]'' I guess I wasn't very good at listening and letting you do what you wanted. It's just that I get really excited about my own ideas. But it's no fun building a treehouse without my friends. Can we finish it together? Please?
:'''Ord''': Sure!

:'''Wheezie''': Loooooove it!
:'''Zak''': Two feet, two claws, and two wings? Too good to be true! Ha-ha-ha!
:'''Max''': Wow!
:'''Emmy''': I don't believe it!
:'''Ord''': Did it hurt?
:'''Zak''': No, it didn't.
:'''Cassie''': How does it feel?
:'''Wheezie''': Great! Now I can do anything I want! ''[does some somersaults]'' Whoo! See? Just me.
:'''Zak''': Well, look at this... ''[does a handstand]'' A handstand, all by myself!
:'''Wheezie''': ''[lands behind him]'' Watch me! ''[does some loops in the air and divebombs down]''
:'''Zak''': Careful, Wheezie!
:''[Wheezie does some more tricks in the sky but suddenly she crashes into a tree and everyone gasps. She falls out as Zak and Emmy run over.]''
:'''Emmy''': Are you okay?
:'''Wheezie''': Okay?! I'm better than okay!
:'''Zak''': Thank goodness. I'll never have to fly too fast again. ''[flies at his own slow pace]''
:'''Wheezie''': ''[yawns]'' Ho hum.
:''[Later Wheezie empties out the playground equipment]''
:'''Max''': How are we gonna make all that stuff into a slide?
:'''Wheezie''': It's easy. You got Wheezie. Let's go!
:'''Max''': Oh, no! I forgot my other tools!
:'''Ord''': Here, Max. ''[hands him tools from his pouch]'' You can use my wrench and my screwdriver, my pliers and my saw and...
:'''Max''': ''[falls down and laughs]'' Ord, enough!
:'''Wheezie''': ''[holding a plank and post]'' Now, which one goes where? ''[bumps the post against the plank]''
:'''Ord''': I don't think they fit, Wheezie.
:'''Wheezie''': [hammers the post into the plank, denting it] Ha! They do now.
:''[The slide is later fully constructed but poorly]''
:'''Wheezie''': Ta-da! Don't you just looooooooove it?!
:'''Ord''': Is it supposed to look like that?
:'''Wheezie''': Yeah! Wild and fun!
:'''Max''': What's that stuff for? ''[he points to the parts that were never used]''
:'''Wheezie''': Uh... they're just extras. Oh, don't worry. This is gonna be super-duper! ''[she leans against the slide and suddenly it falls apart]''
:'''Wheezie''': Uh-oh. Hm, maybe those weren't extras. Zak would've known how to put it together. Oh, Zaky?!
:''[Elsewhere, Zak is helping Emmy and Cassie with the drum trampoline. Wheezie walks up.]''
:'''Wheezie''': We had a teensy little problem. Could you please help us? ''[shows him the broken slide parts]''
:'''Zak''': Hmm... Huh? ''[takes out a blueprint of the slide]'' Wheezie, did you follow the directions?
:'''Wheezie''': Ah, who needs those boring things?
:'''Ord and Max''': We do!
:'''Wheezie''': Okay, okay! Following the directions is Zak's job, but I can do it too! Thanks for the help, Zak. ''[takes it from him]'' Let's see. Where's the thingamajig?
:''[Zak is working on the trampolines as Emmy and Cassie pull on the elastic bed]''
:'''Zak''': A little more... Not too tight... Not too loose...
:'''Cassie and Emmy''': '''ZAK!!!!'''
:'''Zak''': Sorry. Usually Wheezie tells me when we're done. ''[finishes tightening the bolts]'' There. Three perfect drum trampolines.
:'''Emmy''': Yes! Now I can show you my famous bottoms-up bounce! ''[she tries to bounce but falls on her back as it dents in]'' Whoa!!
:'''Cassie''': That's your big bounce?
:'''Emmy''': No way! Zak, the trampoline is saggy!
:'''Zak''': I know. This way we can jump nice and slow.
:'''Emmy''': Slow?! But we need bouncy! You can't do good flips and knee drops unless it's bouncy!
:'''Cassie''': Let me try. ''[she jumps and falls too]'' Whoa!! It's... it's...
:'''Both''': Boring...
:'''Zak''': I guess Wheezie would've known how to make it fun. Wheezie, can you come here?
:''[The others are working on the slide and Wheezie comes over]''
:'''Zak''': What's wrong with our trampolines?
:'''Wheezie''': ''[pulls on the still loose ropes]'' You just need to tighten the ropes an extra squeeze, so they'll be extra bouncy.
:''[Zak does just that; he tests the trampoline]''
:'''Zak''': Thanks, Wheezie. I knew you'd know what to do. That's bouncy, all right.
:'''Cassie''': Okay, Emmy, show us your big bounce!
:''[Emmy bounces and flips flawlessly]''
:'''Cassie''': Wow!
:'''Emmy''': Come on, you try!
:'''Cassie''': ''[bounces on it]'' Whee! He-he-he-he! ''[gets off]'' Hey, Emmy, is there anything else we can do on here besides jump?
:'''Emmy''': Well...
:'''Ord''': Hey, everybody! Step right up!
:'''Max''': The xylophone slide is now ready to go!
:''[It is perfectly constructed]''
:'''Wheezie''': Whoo-hoo! See you later, alligators! ''[she slides down cheering and lands hard on the ground]''
:'''Zak''': Wheezie, are you okay? Did you get a boo-boo? Are you bleeding?
:'''Wheezie''': It was fun! ...Except for the landing.
:'''Ord''': So now we have a great slide.
:'''Max''': With an icky landing. What are we going to do?
:''[Ord pulls out a sandwich]''
:'''Ord''': Have a snack?
:'''Zak''': ''[gets an idea]'' Why don't we put the slide and the trampoline...
:'''Wheezie''': Together?
:'''Zak''': Exactly!
:''[All they move the trampolines in front of the slide]''
:'''Wheezie''': Is this the right spot, Zaky?
:'''Zak''': A little over... Just right!
:'''Wheezie''': Let's try it.
:'''Zak''': You first, Wheezie.
:'''Wheezie''': ''[takes her place]'' Look out below!!!!!!! ''[she slides down and bounces across the trampolines coming in for a perfect landing]'' Looooooove it! Zaky, you're up!
:'''Zak''': All by myself? Only me? Nobody else? Will you come with me, Wheezie?
:'''Wheezie''': Sure.
:''[They sit at the top of the slide together]''
:'''Zak''': Ready, Freddy?
:'''Wheezie''': Okey-dokey, artichoke-y!
:''[They slide and bounce laughing and shouting happily]''
:'''Zak''': That was fun!
:''[The others cheer them happy]''
:'''Others''': Let's go!/I wanna try!/Me next!/Don't forget me!
:''[Quetzal comes back]''
:'''Quetzal''': Fantástico! You did a great job putting everything together. Is it fun?
:'''Wheezie''': It's fun-tastic! But I have an idea that will make it even better. ''[whispers into Zak's ear]''
:'''Zak''': Great idea, Wheezie.
:''[They both whisper to Quetzal]''
:'''Max''': What idea? I don't get it.
:'''Wheezie''': Quetzal, can we?
:'''Zak''': Pretty please, with a fireball on top?
:'''Emmy''': Tell me. I wanna know!
:'''Quetzal''': ''[gets out the crystals from before]'' I think it's a wonderful idea.
:'''Cassie''': What is?
:'''Quetzal''': ''[as Zak and Wheezie take the crystals]'' Fly into the air and say: "Alakazoo, stick like glue." Then rub the crystals together.
:'''Zak''': Come on, Wheezie!
:''[Both they hold hands and fly up]''
:'''Zak and Wheezie''': Alakazoo, stick like glue!
:''[They rub the crystals; a blinding flash of light as it comes down and it clears revealing Zak and Wheezie have returned to their original two-headed self.]''
:'''Zak and Wheezie''': Ha-ha, yeah!/We did it!
:''[They high five and fly around happily]''

''[Meanwhile, Quetzal was hanging some of the lights up on the shack, when Emmy and Max came up to tell him the situation.]''
:'''Max''': ''[panting]'' Emmy's in BIG trouble, because she wouldn't tell.
:'''Quetzal''': Wouldn't tell what, Em?
:'''Emmy''': Uh, a story. I mean, I needed to ask you a question, Quetzal, and I, uh... I have to tell you a story to do it.
:'''Quetzal''': I see. I think.
:'''Emmy''': Well! Uh... There's this little mouse with ribbon in her hair.
:'''Quetzal''': ''Sí.''
:'''Emmy''': And she accidentally broke something that belonged to a two-headed turtle.
:'''Quetzal''': ''Sí,'' go on.
:'''Emmy''': And, well, the Little Mouse didn't know how to tell the Two-Headed Turtle what she did. What should she have done, Quetzal?
:'''Quetzal''': Well! If ''I'' were that Little Mouse with a red ribbon on my hair, I would have stood up straight, taken a deep breath, and told ''Wheezie'' that I broke her trumpet.
:'''Emmy''': Huh? How did you know?!
:'''Max''': I didn't tell him.
:'''Quetzal''': It's not important how I knew. What is important is what you are going to do about it.
:'''Emmy''': I guess if a friend broke something of mine, I'd want them to tell me.
:'''Ord''': Tell you what? ''[He and the others come by.]''

:'''Emmy''': Your trumpet.
:'''Wheezie''': A little mouse broke my trumpet?
:'''Max''': ''[chuckles]''
:'''Emmy''': OK, I'm just going to do it. ''[draws deep breath]'' I broke your trumpet, Wheezie! I thought you'd be mad at me so I hid it. Then, I tried to fix it, but that only made it worse, so I asked Cassie to tell you, and, well, that didn't help either.
:'''Wheezie''': You should've just told me, Emmy, and then I wouldn't have made Zak or Cassie feel bad. ''[to Zak and Cassie]'' Sorry.
:'''Zak and Cassie''': That's OK, Wheezie.
:'''Emmy''': I know I should say I'm sorry. I bet no one wants to be ''my'' friend any more...
:'''Cassie''': Of course we do.
:'''Emmy''': You do?! ''[Cassie nodded]'' ''[to Wheezie]'' How about you, Wheezie?
:'''Wheezie''': I'm pretty glad you told me, Emmy. Of course we're still friends. ''[She and Emmy hug each other.]''
:'''Ord''': We'll just have to play our song another time.
:'''Quetzal''': Maybe not, Ord. ''[He sprinkled some of his magic on the trumpet, which gets fixed.]''

:''[They all play the noisemakers and march with them, however stop when Enrique gets sad.]''
:'''Ord''': What's the matter, Enrique? Did your blower stop working?
:'''Enrique''': No... These remind me of the tiny whistles we used to hide in the frosting of birthday cakes back in Colombia.
:'''Emmy''': Why did you do that?
:'''Enrique''': ''[laughting]'' Because it was so much fun to pull them out and lick the gooey frosting off the whistles.
:''[Everyone laughs less Zak]''
:'''Wheezie''': '''LOOOOOOOVE IT!'''
:'''Zak''': Sounds messy to me!
:'''Enrique''': Hey! Is that a ''piñata''?
:'''Cassie''': Well, it does kind of look like one.
:'''Ord''': But we use it to play another really fun birthday game.
:'''Max and Ord''': Pin the badge on the dragon.
:'''Cassie''': Each of us gets one of these!
:'''Max''': And you have to try to put it on the dragon's neck.
:'''Ord''': Like a dragon badge!

:'''Enrique''': ''Claro que sí'', Cassie... It's really nice of everyone to do all this for me. It's just that... I'm actually feeling kind of sad!
:'''Ord''': Sad? On your birthday?
:'''Wheezie''': See? I told you we should have blown up more balloons...
:'''Zak''': It's not my fault I don't have as much hot air as you...!
:'''Enrique''': Zak, Wheezie, the balloons are ''fantásticas''. I guess it's just... I miss the parties we used to have back in Colombia. ''[he sits sadly on a rock and his friends approach him]''
:'''Cassie''': Hmmmmmm... What do you miss about those parties, Enrique?
:'''Emmy''': Because maybe talking about what you miss will help you not feel so sad.
:'''Enrique''': Well... My friends and family would get together and we'd celebrate, with music and games and all kinds of food.
:'''Wheezie''': Ooooooh, like a ''fiesta''! ''Fiestas'' are so festive!
:'''Enrique''': Sometimes we play the stereo and the grown-ups would hand out instruments, like ''güiros'' and ''maracas'', and we dance along with the music.
:''[His friends look at him listening with interest]''
:'''Enrique''': ''[sad again]'' Ah... I sure missed those parties.
:'''Zak''': Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Wheezie?
:'''Wheezie''': If you're thinking what I'm thinking, Zaky...
:'''Cassie''': I'm thinking it too?
:'''Emmy''': Definitely.
:'''Ord''': What's everyone thinking, Max?
:'''Emmy''': That we can make music the way they did it Enrique's parties.
:'''Wheezie''': Something like this? ''[play music like a xylophone on their scales with Zak]''
:'''Enrique''': That's great, Wheezie!
:''[Everyone starts dancing]''
:'''Enrique''': All we need now are some ''maracas'' and it'll be just like back home.
:'''Zak''': Got any ''maracas'' and that messy pouch of yours, Wheezie?
:'''Wheezie''': Let's see! Hmmmmm... No... Oh! Been looking for that... ''[reaches into his pouch and pulls out a umbrella without fabric, a boot, an accordion and throws them into the air]'' Ah... Oh... No maracas.
:'''Emmy''': Maybe we can make some.
:'''Cassie''': That's a great idea, Emmy...
:'''Max''': Yeah! ''[he scratches the head]'' Huh... How are we gonna do that?
:'''Ord''': I know... ''[goes to some trees and collects five seed pods, returns and pours the seeds into his hand]''
:'''?''':What's that?
:'''Ord''': Dragon pods seeds make a really shaky sound when they're inside my pouch just like ''maracas''. ''[put the seeds in his pouch and makes it sound]''
:'''Max''': ''[laugh]'' We can't all shake your pouch, Ord...
:'''Ord''': Oh, right. ''[laugh]''
:''[Everyone laughs and Wheezie drink his juice from box]''
:'''Enrique''': How about if we put the seeds inside the empty juice boxes and shake them?
:'''Everyone''': '''YEAH! GREAT!'''
:''[Everyone finishes drinking their juice boxes, Ord takes the seeds out of his pouch and places them in the juice boxes]''
:'''Max''': It works! Listen to this! ''[shaking his juice box]''
:'''Ord''': That's great, Max, sounds is good as my pouch!
:'''Wheezie''': All right, everybody, let's ''ma-rraca'' and roll!
:'''Zak and Wheezie''': And the ''uno'' and the ''dos''!
:''[They both play the tune on their scales again while the others rattle their juice box maracas and dance happily to the music.]''
:'''Everyone''': '''ALL RIGHT, ZAK AND WHEEZIE! YEAH! ALL RIGHT!''' ''[laugh]''
:'''Max''': That sounded really cool!
:'''Cassie''': I love played the ''maracas''...
:'''Everyone''': '''YES!'''
:''[Emmy laugh]''
:'''Enrique''': Me too! It reminds me of my family and friends in Colombia. Hmmm... ''[becomes sad again]''
:'''Ord''': Are you starting to feel sad again, Enrique?
:'''Enrique''': A little...
:''[His friends looks worried]''
:'''Wheezie''': Well then, how's about we whip up some more ''fiesta'' fun? We can do the Dragonland Conga!
:'''Zak''': What do you say, Enrique?
:'''Enrique''': It sounds great but... Maybe later. ''[walks away sadly under the worried gaze of his friends and Cassie runs to him]''
:'''Cassie''': Enrique, sometimes when I feel sad, I go talk with Quetzal. He helps me figure out my feelings.
:'''Enrique''': Maybe I should.
:''[Changes at the school in the sky]''
:'''Enrique''': A-ah... And everybody's trying so hard to make me a nice party, a-ah... And I really appreciate it... And I really want to have fun... a-ah... And make the sad feeling go away, but it keeps coming back.
:'''Quetzal''': I understand, Enrique. I too sometimes feel sad.
:'''Enrique''': You do?
:'''Quetzal''': Sí, Enrique, and sometimes when I'm feeling especially sad. It seems as if there is only one thing that I want to do.
:'''Enrique''': What's that?
:'''Quetzal''': Cry... Perhaps that is the way you feel right now.
:'''Enrique''': I always heard that boys... They don't... They're not supposed to...
:'''Quetzal''': Ahhhhhhh... They are not supposed to cry because it is not ''macho''.
:'''Enrique''': ''Sí''.
:'''Quetzal''': There is no shame in crying, Enrique. Trust me, in can be a find way to let the sadness out.
:''[Enrique and Quetzal hug each other and he starts crying, after a while then Enrique leaves school more calm down]''
:'''Everyone''': '''HI, ENRIQUE!'''
:'''Enrique''': ''Hola'', everyone.
:'''Ord''': Are you okay, Enrique? You look like you've been crying.
:'''Enrique''': ''Sí'', but it's okay. Quetzal told me crying helps let the sadness out, and he was right.
:''[His friends nod their heads]''
:'''Emmy''': You do seem happier now, Enrique...
:'''Enrique''': ''Sí'', Emmy. I still feel a little sad, but mostly I feel like it's my birthday and I want to have fun!
:'''Everyone''': ''[celebrating]'' '''GOOD!'''
:'''Enrique''': So if you still want to, maybe we could do the Dragonland Conga?

:'''Emmy''': What is that?

:'''Ord''': (growls angry as well) Well, Today's my very favorite day of the year, than you would be better off without me, I've ruined their lives, and I wish I'd never been born!

:''[Angry, Emmy shakes her fist in rages out a series of gasps, which get more tense by shoves into his mouth, hearing banging & pounding on the door many times and makes them growling. The door opens, furiously revealing Cassie.]''
:'''Cassie''': Shh, Calm down, Max! calm down, Emmy! Shush, shush! You must be upset. Are you upset?! I thought you were Ord.
:'''Max''': [sadly] No, this was Ord's fault with a mix up with psychical violence blame. Look, King Ord’s too angry about being bossy birthday in the meadow.
:''[Max and Emmy head inside while Cassie gets a little worried that Ord might have followed them.]''
:'''Cassie''': What's wrong with you, Emmy? Come on.
:'''Emmy''': [growls] I don't want to hear about ord. We had too frustrated when he's way too bossy.
:'''Max''': [glares] Of course you're so late! I don't understand make him bossy traitor!? If you do, you're fired at military school!

:''[Cassie hands Max and Emmy grabs a balloon angrily. Max tries inflate one up but release and comes out flying. Max then wobbles around holding his head.]''
:'''Max''': Wow! I’m dizzy.
:'''Cassie''': Don’t worry, Max. I’ll blow them up.
:''[Cassie blows up a balloon herself.]''
:'''Max''': Hey, That's insane!
:''[Emmy swipes Max the balloons.]''
:'''Emmy''': You have done that to me too many times, Max. I will not stand for what you did! You're fired! So you '''LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!'''
:'''Max''': [angry] Go Away, Em!

:'''Zak''': Ord! What's the matter with you, Your Majesty?
:'''Wheezie''': Why are you angry, Your Majesty?
:'''Ord''': (ragingly) You hush up your mouth, Go away and no right to talk to leave me alone, and I wish I'd never been born!!!
:'''Zak''': Do you hear that?
:'''Wheezie''': Really? ''[Looks to the ones on top of their heads.]'' Oh, those hats. Those aren’t party hats. They're uh... umm...
:'''Zak''': Rain-hats. Only it's not raining. Guess we don’t need them, Wheezie.
<hr width="90%"/>:''[Just then his royal banging and a pounding is heard on the door.]''
:'''Zak''': ''[whispering]'' Is he coming this way?!
:'''Sid Sycamore''': ''[whispering]'' That wasn’t the secret knock. It’s King Ord! He rudes everything!
:''[Everyone gasps & scrambles to hide everything very quickly. Zak and Wheezie take the pizza, Max puts away the party hats, and Emmy swipes the balloons and hands them to Sid Sycamore without taking.]''
:'''Sid Sycamore''': [warns her] Emmy, no swiping! Emmy, no swiping! Emmy, no swiping!
:'''Emmy''': [madder] Sid, You're fired! I'm too angry! '''YOU ARE FIRED!!'''
:'''Sid Sycamore''': [angrily scolding] It's too late, you're a crook... [furiously] You're a '''CHEAT''' and a '''SWINDLER...!''' '''THAT'S''' it! I will never seen you again or you're fired!! [lividly] '''YOU'RE AN INHUMAN MONSTER!!!'''
:'''Emmy''': [screamed furiously] '''I SAID "YOU ARE FIRED"!! THAT'S IT, SID!!'''
:''[Meanwhile they hand the rest of the stuff to Zak and Wheezie.]''
:'''Zak''': Where are you gonna put that?
:''[Wheezie ultimately decides to put the stuff in their pouch.]''
:'''Zak''': Ew! That feels gross!
:''[All that was left was the tablecloth which they remove as Ord slams the door open.]''
:'''Ord''': [snaps] I’m very annoyed with you, Emmy! I'm king, and I wish I'd never been born!!
:''[Inside the gang snarl on the floor with a puzzle.]''
:'''Emmy''': [angrily scolds very pissed] You're bossy, King Ord! I'm very angry with you! This is your last warning! It's a complete disaster when enough is enough!! You did not just say that, '''You did not just say that!!!!'''
:'''Ord''': [getting angry] '''I did just say it! I said, I WISH I'D NEVER BEEN BORN!!!''' I'm bossy and annoyed without doing anything and I'm king, and you look annoyed all the time without some help, I've ruined their lives, and I wish I'd never been born! ''[dragon glares in the room.]'' You don't think I'm too bossy, do you?
:'''Zak''': '''LIAR!''' We decided not to have the picnic.
:'''Wheezie''': I'm afraid you are. Putting together a puzzle isn't fun anymore.
:'''Ord''': [mad] I don't want to play puzzles! I'm the bossy king! I'm the king of a moss-covered, three-handled family gredunza! Nobody's gonna leave this treehouse until I wish I'd never been born!!
:'''Emmy''': [losing control of her outrage] Go away, King Ord! You lost a moss-covered, three-handled family gredunza if I'm saying bossy to you! If you're way too bossy what word I'm not supposed to say, It's too bossy, I'm disappointed. I am very disappointed....
:'''Ord''': [growling ragingly yells] '''I WISH I HAD NEVER BEEEEEEN BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORN!!!!!'''

:'''Ord''': '''SILENCE!!! YOU'D BETTER GET ALL OF THAT HURTFUL THING'S THROUGH YOUR RUDE HEAD!!!!!''' Forget it!! I said, "I wish I'd never been born!!!" I am the boss of the ruler to leave me alone!!!
:'''Max''': [sternly] That's it! See if I'll leave you alone!!
:''[Bossy King Ord storms to the school and incredibly pissed off at him for all of the hurtful birthday and inside he finds Quetzal wrapping a gift neatly.]''
:'''Ord''': You're just a show-off, Mr. Quetzal! Never, ever mention '''THAT''' name in my presence! '''I AM THE BOSSY *KING*!!!'''
:'''Quetzal''': Oh, Yes, Sire, you look bossy, King Ord. I was extraordinarily busy... You’re so cranky. You actually went and did it to illustrate the differences in your royal managerial approaches.
:'''Ord''': [coldly] Not the others seem to think they're waste time. ''[without notices the gift.]'' [angrily] I'm the boss. I scolded at her, Because she broke the rules! I'm king of the birthday parties!
:'''Quetzal''': Temper! Temper! Your Majesty, please... I don't like to complain, But A very good friend of mine, We didn't see any rules.
:''[Ord goes back to being angrily glare.]''
:'''Quetzal''': What’s the matter? I know you're angry about your birthday without friends and you're refuse to be gone. What’s wrong?
:'''Ord''': [raging furiously blows up, screams in frustration, angrily yells with sobbing] This is the stupidest time to me a favor and the "worstest" rule, I'm the king of the panic! I'm the frustrated king! I'm the bossy king because I'm the king of my birthday, and I'm the king of special day, but my friends must not like me anymore because they don't want to play with 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void IF - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy! And Cassie didn't invite me to her picnic, and then everyone's beginning to believe I'll never see my "et cetera, et cetera... "Fax mentis, incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera... "Memo bis punitor delicatum!!" It's out of the control without decided to make a puzzle instead of a picnic! I am the king! I can do whatever I could even push one piece together, they '''STOMPED''' on the floor, which now has to be pushed me away, because I'm the king of my birthday! And I'm the king of a grouchy girl sometimes... I'm the bossy king, and think I'm king! they're gonna mess it up for my birthday and it's all your fault, and then before I will be able to our army, would still be alive, it's your fault she's mad!! And now I don't have a happy birthday without looking hard enough to see some stupid royal birthday, and I wish I'd never been born!!! [walks off in a huff]
:'''Quetzal''': Oh..., Outrageous! I know you've already just feeling very angry, Ord, yelled by a grouchy girl, It's not your fault and we say something very special to each other.
:'''Ord''': [he ragefully stomps, firmly fuming] Why bother? I'm king of stupid to understand anyway! I hadn't shown up even dragons celebrate my birthday in the first place, maybe I don't have to worry everything that was important to me! There's nothing, no, NOTHING, that's grouchy than me, and I wish I'd never been born!! I said it again! I wish I'd never been B-O-R-N, born!
:'''Quetzal''': ''[checks his pocket watch]'' Chill out, Ord! Every year, I know what to do to make you feel better.
:'''Ord''': [sarcastically] Aw, forget it! I said it again! I wish I'd never been B-O-R-N, born! I wish I'd never been born! I said, "I wish I'd never been born!!" There, I said it again! '''I WISH I'D NEVER BEEN BORN!!'''
:'''Quetzal''': [calmly] I know you aren't. So, come with me.
:''[Ord and Quetzal go over to the treehouse where the others are watching by the window and all arguing, shouting, and they started kicking and laugh.]''
:'''Ord''': I'm the mad king, I'm the mad king! I'm the really, really, really mad king, Quetzal, I cannot let you put our family if they don't want to play with me! For I am the ruler of all that I see!!
:'''Quetzal''': Oh, I see if you are mad. Courage, Ord. Go up there and tell them what you told me.
:'''Ord''': Are you sure if I'm not mad?.
:'''Quetzal''': Si.
:'''Ord''': Okay. I love too.
:''[Ord goes up the stairs and he takes one last look toward Quetzal who gives him a nod, before knocking on the door.]''
:'''Cassie''': I’m too busy right now, but we're almost done.
:'''Ord''': It's me, King Ord! And I'm too bossy and frustrated 'cause I'm ruler of my birthday but no one wants me around. And I don't want to be your friend anymore! I don't want to be your friend anymore at all!
:'''Cassie''': Hey, You're so bossy.
:'''Ord''': Yes, you did! You did!!! We're doomed who’s being such a bully!! It's your fault because you were going our separate ways forever. So, this is… This is your dumb the whole day with you doing all kinds of ridiculous straight to stomp to you when I'm bossy!!
:'''Cassie''': Okay, Don't be mad. Guess what? You can come in now.
:'''Ord''': [anger turns to thrilled to apologizes about being difficult being frivolous things at the wrong time.] Really? I just wanted to apologize because sometimes I was me too bossy.
:'''Emmy''': Aww, that's okay, You can knock gently on the door but don't banging and pounding hard. Go ahead, Ord.
:'''Ord''': Oh, Sure.
:''[Ord throws the royal crown and the royal cape away, Knocking gently, opens the door and is surprised with excitement.]''

:'''Max''': Of course we do, Ord. You're our biggest, bestest friend of all.
:'''Emmy''': I’m so glad it’s you. I'm sorry I was just felt so mad when i yelled at you. It's just that... because I just didn't want you to find out and I'll try to not be bossy about the surprise party.
:'''Ord''': Wow. Well, I was really surprised!
:''[Wheezie lights the candle with her fire breath]''
:'''Wheezie''': Come on, Ord. Make a wish and blow out the candle.
:'''Ord''': Okay, here we go!

:'''Max''': All right, Hooray for you, Ord.

It's gonna be okay... you're gonna see more fun than me anyway… I'm very sorry to disturb you too much but I should go back, just to make sure Max is alright. (Emmy hands Mr. Whale a tissue and the puppet blows nose) Thank you for listening... because I just didn't want you to find out and I'll try to not be bossy, Mr. Whale. ''[Emmy finally calms down by comforting her puppet hug and takes out the dragon scale, smiley]'' OK, here we go. "I wish, I wish, with all my heart ''to fly with dragons'' in a land apart." [This time, the dragons on the wall come to life and circle around her flying faster and faster until she arrive back to the DragonLand and start searching for Angry Max.]

:'''Cassie''': Oh, I don't know. ''[Emmy climbs up to her window through the ivy of the facade and Cassie gasps]''
:'''Emmy''': Come on, Cassie. You'll have fun! Big time!
:'''Cassie''': I know. But I've never slept away from my mummy and daddy before! Ever! Not even one whole time!
:'''Emmy''': Well, what if you brought something to remind you of home?
:'''Cassie''': Like what?
:'''Emmy''': On my first sleepover, I brought Lupita. She's my favorite doll.
:'''Cassie''': Oh! Maybe I could bring... ''[leaves and comes back with a pile of books]'' Some of my favorite books! ''[catches the top book as it falls off]''
:'''Emmy''': How about just one?
:'''Cassie''': Oh, I could never pick just one. Wait, I've got another idea! ''[puts the books away and returns with a pile of pillows]'' How about my favorite pillows? ''[Emmy shakes her head]'' Still too much?
:'''Emmy''': Definitely!
:'''Cassie''': Oh. I know! ''[puts the pillows away and takes out a photo of her with her parents and two of her siblings]'' I'll take this picture of my mummy and daddy and all my brothers and sisters! ''[unfolds it to reveal more pictures that tile out the window down the wall]''
:'''Emmy''': All seventy-four of them? That'll work. Come on, you can do it!
:'''Cassie''': Okay, I'll try.
:'''Emmy''': Yes!
:''[Changes to the knuckerhole later that night; the sleepover is on! Laughter and cheering rings out from Zak and Wheezie's bedroom as Emmy, Max, Ord, and Cassie jump in the bed while Zak looks at his alarm clock and Wheezie play his drum.]''

:'''Zak''': Thanks, mummy.
:'''Emmy''': What's the matter, Cassie?
:'''Cassie''': I miss my daddy and mummy.
:'''Wheezie''': Why don't you call them?
:'''Cassie''': Can I?
:'''Wheezie''': Sure!
:''[Changes to a ceiling phone horn; Wheezie gets it down for Cassie to use.]''

:'''Cassie''': Hi, Father.
:'''Cassie's dad''': Are you having fun?
:'''Max''': ''[comes past still spinning]'' Wheeeeeeeee!!!
:'''Cassie''': Sort of. I just wondered if you and Mummy miss me. I mean, I could come home if you want.
:'''Cassie's dad''': Of course we miss you, honey, but why don't you try and stay a little longer and have fun with your friends?

===''Emmy's Dreamhouse'' [1.9a]===
:'''Zak''': Emmy, how do you like the steps Wheezie and I made?
:'''Wheezie''': We've even thought of a secret musical password. ''[plays "Shave and a Haircut" on the steps, with Zak's triangle making up the final two notes.]'' Love it!
:'''Emmy''': It's great. But red steps would go better with the rest of the treehouse, don't you think? ''[pours a can of red paint all over the stairs and some of it gets on Wheezie's foot]''
:'''Wheezie''': ''[angrylid]'' No! You said we could have...
:'''Zak''': Whatever we want and...
:'''Wheezie''': We want black and white!
:'''Emmy''': Oops. Sorry. I guess I forgot to ask again, didn't I?
:''[Zak and Wheezie are angry as Emmy enters the treehouse where everyone is setting up their things. Cassie is setting up her bookshelf.]''
:'''Cassie''': Let's see. Where should I put my picture book on flying? Right there. ''[the book flies into place]'' How do you like my new bookshelf, Emmy?
:'''Emmy''': It looks nice, Cassie. It would look better with these flowers on it. [takes out a flowerpot with flowers in it]
:'''Cassie''': But those are your flowers!
:'''Emmy''': Yeah.
:'''Cassie''': And they're too tall!
:'''Emmy''': I know. ''[takes all of Cassie's books off the shelf and lowers the middle shelf to the bottom. She then puts the books cover side down with two stacked up in the middle and puts the flowerpot on top of them.]''
:'''Emmy''': Perfect!
:'''Cassie''': But... my books! ''[starts laughing and grows]''
:'''Emmy''': Oh, Cassie, I'm sorry I made you feel mad! ''[Cassie runs off]'' I can't believe I forgot to ask what she wanted.
:'''Max''': Emmy, take a look through my telescope!
:''[Ord is getting his toy chest set up and Max has put his telescope near the window]''
:'''Max''': You can see the Stickleback Mountains.
:'''Ord''': And check out my... my... ''[grunts trying to close it but can't]'' ...toy drawer. Neat, huh?
:'''Emmy''': Yeah! And this is a great spot for our play rug.
:''[She unfolds the rug doing fall Max's telescope and covers the toy chest a bit at the corner]''
:'''Emmy''': We'll only have to move your stuff a little bit, okay?
:'''Ord''': I guess.
:''[Emmy pushes the toy chest off the rug into the wall and moves the telescope to the opposite side.]''
:'''Emmy''': That's better.
:'''Max''': No, it isn't! You didn’t leave room for my telescope!
:'''Ord''': And I can’t play with my toy drawer in the corner because there’s not enough room!
:'''Cassie''': ''[aggravated]'' And you made my bookshelf the way you wanted it!
:'''Wheezie''': And Zaky and I didn’t like how you repainted our steps!
:'''Zak''': Or our toenails! ''[Wheezie shows the paint on her foot]''
:'''Wheezie''': ''[wryly]'' Actually, I thought the toenails were kinda pretty.
:'''Max''': ''[carrying his telescope]'' You’re not being nice, Emmy!
:'''Wheezie''': Come on, everyone! Let’s go build our own treehouse!
:'''Zak''': The way we want it!
:''[Everyone less Emmy leaves very annoying]''
:'''Emmy''': ''[also angry]'' I was just trying to make the treehouse better, that's all!
:''[They all leave indignant with their stuff and Zak and Wheezie takes the staircase leaving Emmy in the treehouse]''
:'''Emmy''': Have it your way! I'll just build my own treehouse! ''[so she tries to build a ladder herself but it breaks]'' Oh, this is no fun. Isn't it?
:'''Sid Sycamore''': Hey, maybe a tree joke will cheer you up! Why did the tree cross the road? Give up? He had to "leaf!" Get it? Tree? Leaf? Ha ha! Wocka Wocka! [He laughs, and leaves fall out; Emmy does not answer.] So, friend troubles, huh?
:'''Emmy''': Yeah. They're mad. I didn't let them do what they wanted.
:'''Sid Sycamore''': Well, if you choose all the colors and decide where everything should go, what's left for your friends to do?
:'''Emmy''': They can, uh... Not much, I guess. Maybe I'd better help them put things back the way they wanted?
:'''Sid Sycamore''': Hey, now you're barkin' up the right tree! Wocka Wocka!
:''[Rumbling is heard and the purple goo clouds are coming closer]''
:'''Sid Sycamore''': Hey, you better hurry. The purple goo clouds are almost here!
:''[Emmy runs off and the others are at the other side of the forest carrying their things when she them catches up]''
:'''Emmy''': Wait up! ''[they stop, she sighs and asks for forgiveness, with the purpose of amendment]'' I guess I wasn't very good at listening and letting you do what you wanted. It's just that I get really excited about my own ideas. But it's no fun building a treehouse without my friends. Can we finish it together? Please?
:'''Ord''': Sure!
:'''Wheezie''': Of course!
:'''Max''': Let's do it!
:'''Emmy''': Come on, Cassie. We can fix your bookshelf just the way you wanted. And, Max, where do you want that telescope?
:''[Much later, the treehouse is being finished the way everyone wants it. Max and Ord roll out the rug and Emmy builds the roof. More rumbling as the purple goo clouds come closer and everyone notices.]''

:'''Wheezie''': Why'd you make a wolf?
:'''Emmy''': 'Cause I'm playing the wolf.
:''[Zak and Wheezie growl at Emmy's sock puppet and look at each other and back at Emmy]''

:'''Emmy''': But I thought you wanted to play the music.
:'''Zak''': We always have to play the music!
:'''Wheezie''': And this time we want to do something else!
:'''Max''': But you play music the best!
:'''Zak''': Well, we wanna be the wolf!
:'''Wheezie''': Yeah! No wolf...
:'''Both''': No, Zak and Wheezie.
:'''Cassie''': But if you play the wolf, who will play the music?
:''[Emmy hangs her head down]''
:'''Emmy''': I can't play the music by myself.
:'''Cassie''': Well, I don't think I can. ''[to Ord with her puppet]'' What about you?
:'''Ord''': Oh, no! ''[with his puppet]'' I'm a pig!
:'''Emmy''': ''[to Zak and Wheezie]'' You've got to play the music!

:'''Ord''': Please!

:''[Zak gets mad]''
:'''Zak''': No! If we can't be the wolf....
:'''Wheezie''': We don't wanna play with you anymore. ''[both Zak and Wheezie nod their heads no, and walk out of the theater. Emmy tries to say something, but the words don't come out. Zak and Wheezie run away angrily. Cassie peeks out calling to them. Next, Emmy, Max and Ord peek out.]''

:'''Emmy''': Wheezie!
:'''Ord''': Wait!

:'''Emmy''': Why do you need to take the flowers to Singing Springs, Cassie?
:'''Cassie''': Because they're Jingle Flowers. I grow them from seeds. But, now, that they're grow up, I need to plant them at Singing Springs. Cause without the foundation music water they'll lose the Jingle Flowers.

:'''Zak''': Thank goodness. I'll never have to fly too fast again. ''[flies at his own slow pace]''
:'''Wheezie''': ''[yawns]'' Ho hum.
:''[Later Wheezie empties out the playground equipment]''
:'''Max''': How are we gonna make all that stuff into a slide?
:'''Wheezie''': It's easy. You got Wheezie. Let's go!
:'''Max''': Oh, no! I forgot my other tools!
:'''Ord''': Here, Max. ''[hands him tools from his pouch]'' You can use my wrench and my screwdriver, my pliers and my saw and...
:'''Max''': ''[falls down and laughs]'' Ord, enough!
:'''Wheezie''': ''[holding a plank and post]'' Now, which one goes where? ''[bumps the post against the plank]''
:'''Ord''': I don't think they fit, Wheezie.
:'''Wheezie''': [hammers the post into the plank, denting it] Ha! They do now.
:''[The slide is later fully constructed but poorly]''
:'''Wheezie''': Ta-da! Don't you just looooooooove it?!
:'''Ord''': Is it supposed to look like that?
:'''Wheezie''': Yeah! Wild and fun!
:'''Max''': What's that stuff for? ''[he points to the parts that were never used]''
:'''Wheezie''': Uh... they're just extras. Oh, don't worry. This is gonna be super-duper! ''[she leans against the slide and suddenly it falls apart]''
:'''Wheezie''': Uh-oh. Hm, maybe those weren't extras. Zak would've known how to put it together. Oh, Zaky?!
:''[Elsewhere, Zak is helping Emmy and Cassie with the drum trampoline. Wheezie walks up.]''
:'''Wheezie''': We had a teensy little problem. Could you please help us? ''[shows him the broken slide parts]''
:'''Zak''': Hmm... Huh? ''[takes out a blueprint of the slide]'' Wheezie, did you follow the directions?
:'''Wheezie''': Ah, who needs those boring things?
:'''Ord and Max''': We do!
:'''Wheezie''': Okay, okay! Following the directions is Zak's job, but I can do it too! Thanks for the help, Zak. ''[takes it from him]'' Let's see. Where's the thingamajig?
:''[Zak is working on the trampolines as Emmy and Cassie pull on the elastic bed]''
:'''Zak''': A little more... Not too tight... Not too loose...
:'''Cassie and Emmy''': '''ZAK!!!!'''
:'''Zak''': Sorry. Usually Wheezie tells me when we're done. ''[finishes tightening the bolts]'' There. Three perfect drum trampolines.
:'''Emmy''': Yes! Now I can show you my famous bottoms-up bounce! ''[she tries to bounce but falls on her back as it dents in]'' Whoa!!
:'''Cassie''': That's your big bounce?
:'''Emmy''': No way! Zak, the trampoline is saggy!
:'''Zak''': I know. This way we can jump nice and slow.
:'''Emmy''': Slow?! But we need bouncy! You can't do good flips and knee drops unless it's bouncy!
:'''Cassie''': Let me try. ''[she jumps and falls too]'' Whoa!! It's... it's...
:'''Both''': Boring...
:'''Zak''': I guess Wheezie would've known how to make it fun. Wheezie, can you come here?
:''[The others are working on the slide and Wheezie comes over]''
:'''Zak''': What's wrong with our trampolines?
:'''Wheezie''': ''[pulls on the still loose ropes]'' You just need to tighten the ropes an extra squeeze, so they'll be extra bouncy.
:''[Zak does just that; he tests the trampoline]''
:'''Zak''': Thanks, Wheezie. I knew you'd know what to do. That's bouncy, all right.
:'''Cassie''': Okay, Emmy, show us your big bounce!
:''[Emmy bounces and flips flawlessly]''
:'''Cassie''': Wow!
:'''Emmy''': Come on, you try!
:'''Cassie''': ''[bounces on it]'' Whee! He-he-he-he! ''[gets off]'' Hey, Emmy, is there anything else we can do on here besides jump?
:'''Emmy''': Well...
:'''Ord''': Hey, everybody! Step right up!
:'''Max''': The xylophone slide is now ready to go!
:''[It is perfectly constructed]''
:'''Wheezie''': Whoo-hoo! See you later, alligators! ''[she slides down cheering and lands hard on the ground]''
:'''Zak''': Wheezie, are you okay? Did you get a boo-boo? Are you bleeding?
:'''Wheezie''': It was fun! ...Except for the landing.
:'''Ord''': So now we have a great slide.
:'''Max''': With an icky landing. What are we going to do?
:''[Ord pulls out a sandwich]''
:'''Ord''': Have a snack?
:'''Zak''': ''[gets an idea]'' Why don't we put the slide and the trampoline...
:'''Wheezie''': Together?
:'''Zak''': Exactly!
:''[All they move the trampolines in front of the slide]''
:'''Wheezie''': Is this the right spot, Zaky?
:'''Zak''': A little over... Just right!
:'''Wheezie''': Let's try it.
:'''Zak''': You first, Wheezie.
:'''Wheezie''': ''[takes her place]'' Look out below!!!!!!! ''[she slides down and bounces across the trampolines coming in for a perfect landing]'' Looooooove it! Zaky, you're up!
:'''Zak''': All by myself? Only me? Nobody else? Will you come with me, Wheezie?
:'''Wheezie''': Sure.
:''[They sit at the top of the slide together]''
:'''Zak''': Ready, Freddy?
:'''Wheezie''': Okey-dokey, artichoke-y!
:''[They slide and bounce laughing and shouting happily]''
:'''Zak''': That was fun!
:''[The others cheer them happy]''
:'''Others''': Let's go!/I wanna try!/Me next!/Don't forget me!
:''[Quetzal comes back]''
:'''Quetzal''': Fantástico! You did a great job putting everything together. Is it fun?
:'''Wheezie''': It's fun-tastic! But I have an idea that will make it even better. ''[whispers into Zak's ear]''
:'''Zak''': Great idea, Wheezie.
:''[They both whisper to Quetzal]''
:'''Max''': What idea? I don't get it.
:'''Wheezie''': Quetzal, can we?

:'''Quetzal''': I see. I think.
:'''Emmy''': Well! Uh... There's this little mouse with ribbon in her hair.
:'''Quetzal''': ''Sí.''
:'''Emmy''': And she accidentally broke something that belonged to a two-headed turtle.
:'''Quetzal''': ''Sí,'' go on.
:'''Emmy''': And, well, the Little Mouse didn't know how to tell the Two-Headed Turtle what she did. What should she have done, Quetzal?
:'''Quetzal''': Well! If ''I'' were that Little Mouse with a red ribbon on my hair, I would have stood up straight, taken a deep breath, and told ''Wheezie'' that I broke her trumpet.
:'''Emmy''': Huh? How did you know?!
:'''Max''': I didn't tell him.
:'''Quetzal''': It's not important how I knew. What is important is what you are going to do about it.
:'''Emmy''': I guess if a friend broke something of mine, I'd want them to tell me.
:'''Ord''': Tell you what? ''[He and the others come by.]''

:'''Wheezie''': A little mouse broke my trumpet?
:'''Max''': ''[chuckles]''
:'''Emmy''': OK, I'm just going to do it. ''[draws deep breath]'' I broke your trumpet, Wheezie! I thought you'd be mad at me so I hid it. Then, I tried to fix it, but that only made it worse, so I asked Cassie to tell you, and, well, that didn't help either.
:'''Wheezie''': You should've just told me, Emmy, and then I wouldn't have made Zak or Cassie feel bad. ''[to Zak and Cassie]'' Sorry.
:'''Zak and Cassie''': That's OK, Wheezie.
:'''Emmy''': I know I should say I'm sorry. I bet no one wants to be ''my'' friend any more...
:'''Cassie''': Of course we do.
:'''Emmy''': You do?! ''[Cassie nodded]'' ''[to Wheezie]'' How about you, Wheezie?
:'''Wheezie''': I'm pretty glad you told me, Emmy. Of course we're still friends. ''[She and Emmy hug each other.]''
:'''Ord''': We'll just have to play our song another time.
:'''Quetzal''': Maybe not, Ord. ''[He sprinkled some of his magic on the trumpet, which gets fixed.]''

:''[They all cheer and hand out the Dragontines as Quetzal comes over]''
:'''Quetzal''': Hola, Max and Emmy. Will you be joining us for the Happy Hearts recital this morning?
:'''Ord''': It's a show that we put on for everyone we love every Dragontines Day. We sing songs and do dances. It'’s really fun, and...
:'''Wheezie''': And we'd loooove it if you two would boogie down with us!
:'''Emmy''': Definitely!
:'''Quetzal''': I'll see you onstage, then. Adiós, niños. ''[leaves]''
:'''Wheezie''': Listen up, everybody, Zaky and I have a terrific idea! We want to sing a song that Quetzal taught us!
:'''Zak''': There's a dance that goes with the song. And we can teach you how to do it.
:'''Ord''': My mommy's gonna love that.
:''[Changes to the playground where they gather to rehearse.]''
:'''Wheezie''': Okey-dokey, artichokies! The song is called ''"Los Pollitos"''.
:'''Emmy''': I know that song! My Tía Carmen taught it to me when I was little. ''"Los Pollitos"'' means "little chicks."
:'''Wheezie''': Right you are! And the little chicks are all cold and hungry. Brr!
:'''Emmy''': But their mom finds some food and a warm blanket for them.
:'''Wheezie''': Did your Tía teach you the dance too?
:'''Emmy''': She sure did.
:'''Zak''': Perfect! So why don't we show everyone how it goes?
:'''Wheezie''': A-one... A-two and a-one, two, three!

:'''Greta''': '''YOU DID?!''' But you shouldn't have opened them without my permission.
:'''Wheezie''': I know, and I'm sorry. I'm trying to learn how to wait.
:'''Greta''': Well... I know how hard it is to wait. But sometimes, waiting for a surprise makes it even more fun when you finally see what it is.

:'''Max''': Hi, Enrique!
:'''Enrique''': ''Hola!'' ''Que tal?''
:'''Emmy''': Great!
:'''Max''': How's it going?
:'''Enrique''': ''Bien.'' Okay... I guess.
:'''Max''': ''[offers another horse toy]'' Wanna play cowboy?
:'''Enrique''': ''[grabs the horse toy]'' I have an uncle who is a real-life cowboy. A ''vaquero''. I used to ride horses with him back home.
:'''Max''': Was that in [[Mexico]]? That's where our ''abuelita (Spanish for: grandma)'' is from.
:'''Enrique''': No, in [[Columbia]]. But then we moved to [[Puerto Rico]], and I didn't get to ride so much. ''[pause; Emmy and Max look at him confused and skeptical]'' You guys would ''love'' Puerto Rico! You could play on the beach and swim, and... ''[sighs sadly]''
:'''Emmy''': You really miss it, huh?
:'''Enrique''': ''A veces.'' Uh, sometimes. It's so different [[United States|here]], and it's just hard.
:'''Max''': But you speak English really good.
:'''Emmy''': "Really ''well''".
:''[Max glares at her.]''
:'''Enrique''': It's not that, it's just... I don't know. I've tried to make friends at school but all the kids all know each other already. And they all talk about stuff I don't know anything about.
:'''Max''': Anything you want to know about, I'm an expert!
:'''Emmy''': ''[giggles]'' Oh, brother!
:'''Enrique''': ''Gracias'', Max. I just wish there was a place where everyone was as friendly as you and Emmy.
:'''Max''': We know a place like that!
:'''Emmy''': ''[whispers]'' Max! ''[glares at him]''
:'''Max''': ''[whispers]'' Why can't we take Enrique there?
:'''Emmy''': Because we... we just can't. ''[Max smiles at her]'' Well, maybe. I guess. ''[smiles]'' Definitely!
:'''Max''': ''[giggles]''
:''[Emmy runs to the drawer and Max follows her. She opens the drawer, picks up the case and opens it, revealing the magic dragon scale.]''
:'''Enrique''': Wow, that is so beautiful! ''Que es eso? (Spanish for: What's that?]''
:'''Max''': It's a dragon scale!
:'''Enrique''': ''[chuckles]'' Sure, right. Seriously, what makes it glow like that?
:'''Max''': It's magical. It takes us to a place called Dragon Land.
:'''Enrique''': Come on! ''[Emmy and Max smile at him]'' Okay, so how does it work?
:'''Emmy''': Well, Max and I hold the scale and say: ''I wish, I wish, with all my heart, to fly with dragons in a land apart.'' And whoosh, we're there!
:'''Max''': ''[picks out the scale]'' You want to try?
:''[Enrique is hesitant as first but shrugs and decides to give it a try as he, Emmy and Max hold the scale together.]''

:'''Emmy''': No, it's ''"with all my heart"''!

:'''Zak''': Yeah. Hers does most to the talking, mine does most to the thinking! ''[laugh]''
:'''Wheezie''': Oh, Zaky... Ooh, I almost forgot! Quetzal sent us to find you, he need us for something veeeery important...

:'''Cassie''': He's our teacher at the school in the sky, Enrique...

:''[Max rides Ord and Emmy rides Cassie.]''
:'''Zak''': You can ride in us, Enrique...
:'''Enrique''': Ride on a dragon's back?

:'''Ord''': Don't know, Enrique... Some kind of garden...
:'''Cassie''': And it's full of knucker holes.
:'''Zak''': Mystery solved. The knuckle holes disappear, some kind of magic brought him here.
:'''Emmy''': But who did the magic?
:'''Quanita''': That would be me... ''[comes down from the tree using his magic wand]'' Hi. I'm Quanita, junior wizard, uh... in training.
:'''Wheezie''': '''AM I MAD!'''
:'''Max''': Yeah, cause you shouldn't take what doesn't belong you! That's not right.
:'''Quanita''': Oh, I am so sorry, let me explain.
:'''Zak''': Oh... To this oughta be good...
:'''Quanita''': Easy... The head wizard asked me to plant all these speckled trees, but it would take me forever to dig holes for all of them...
:'''Ord''': There sure are a lot of them...
:'''Quanita''': So I waved my wand and made a wish for holes to plant them in, and well, these are what appeared. Huh... I am afraid I am not a good wizard.
:''[Everyone looks worried]''
:'''Zak''': Ahhhhh... Anybody can make a mistake, with she makes them constantly.
:'''Wheezie''': '''SURE DO...!'''
:'''Cassie''': Maybe you just need practice, Quanita.
:'''Quanita''': You think?
:'''Emmy''': Definitely.
:'''Quanita''': I'll reverse the wish and send all the knuckle holes back.
:'''Zak''': Get ready to jump everybody, we're going home with the knuckle holes!
:'''Enrique''': Wait! Before we go, we can help Quanita plant her trees.
:'''Emmy''': That's the great idea, Enrique, it's a big job for one little wizard.

:'''Ord''': What's the matter, Enrique? Did your blower stop working?
:'''Enrique''': No... These remind me of the tiny whistles we used to hide in the frosting of birthday cakes back in Colombia.
:'''Emmy''': Why did you do that?
:'''Enrique''': ''[laughting]'' Because it was so much fun to pull them out and lick the gooey frosting off the whistles.
:''[Everyone laughs less Zak]''
:'''Wheezie''': '''LOOOOOOOVE IT!'''
:'''Zak''': Sounds messy to me!
:'''Enrique''': Hey! Is that a ''piñata''?
:'''Cassie''': Well, it does kind of look like one.
:'''Ord''': But we use it to play another really fun birthday game.
:'''Max and Ord''': Pin the badge on the dragon.
:'''Cassie''': Each of us gets one of these!
:'''Max''': And you have to try to put it on the dragon's neck.
:'''Ord''': Like a dragon badge!
:'''Zak''': But the trick is you have to do it all... ''[takes out of his pouch a bandage]''
:'''Wheezie''': Blindfolded...!
:'''Emmy''': Whoever gets the closest is the winner.
:'''Max''': Wanna play?
:'''Enrique''': Sure!
:'''Ord''': Ooh, ooh, ooh, can I go first, uh?
:'''Cassie''': It's a Enrique's birthday award, maybe he should be the first.
:'''Enrique''': That's okay, Cassie, you can go first, Ord...

:'''Ord''': Sad? On your birthday?
:'''Wheezie''': See? I told you we should have blown up more balloons...
:'''Zak''': It's not my fault I don't have as much hot air as you...!
:'''Enrique''': Zak, Wheezie, the balloons are ''fantásticas''. I guess it's just... I miss the parties we used to have back in Colombia. ''[he sits sadly on a rock and his friends approach him]''
:'''Cassie''': Hmmmmmm... What do you miss about those parties, Enrique?
:'''Emmy''': Because maybe talking about what you miss will help you not feel so sad.
:'''Enrique''': Well... My friends and family would get together and we'd celebrate, with music and games and all kinds of food.
:'''Wheezie''': Ooooooh, like a ''fiesta''! ''Fiestas'' are so festive!
:'''Enrique''': Sometimes we play the stereo and the grown-ups would hand out instruments, like ''güiros'' and ''maracas'', and we dance along with the music.
:''[His friends look at him listening with interest]''
:'''Enrique''': ''[sad again]'' Ah... I sure missed those parties.
:'''Zak''': Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Wheezie?
:'''Wheezie''': If you're thinking what I'm thinking, Zaky...
:'''Cassie''': I'm thinking it too?
:'''Emmy''': Definitely.
:'''Ord''': What's everyone thinking, Max?
:'''Emmy''': That we can make music the way they did it Enrique's parties.
:'''Wheezie''': Something like this? ''[play music like a xylophone on their scales with Zak]''
:'''Enrique''': That's great, Wheezie!
:''[Everyone starts dancing]''
:'''Enrique''': All we need now are some ''maracas'' and it'll be just like back home.
:'''Zak''': Got any ''maracas'' and that messy pouch of yours, Wheezie?
:'''Wheezie''': Let's see! Hmmmmm... No... Oh! Been looking for that... ''[reaches into his pouch and pulls out a umbrella without fabric, a boot, an accordion and throws them into the air]'' Ah... Oh... No maracas.
:'''Emmy''': Maybe we can make some.
:'''Cassie''': That's a great idea, Emmy...
:'''Max''': Yeah! ''[he scratches the head]'' Huh... How are we gonna do that?
:'''Ord''': I know... ''[goes to some trees and collects five seed pods, returns and pours the seeds into his hand]''
:'''?''':What's that?
:'''Ord''': Dragon pods seeds make a really shaky sound when they're inside my pouch just like ''maracas''. ''[put the seeds in his pouch and makes it sound]''
:'''Max''': ''[laugh]'' We can't all shake your pouch, Ord...
:'''Ord''': Oh, right. ''[laugh]''
:''[Everyone laughs and Wheezie drink his juice from box]''
:'''Enrique''': How about if we put the seeds inside the empty juice boxes and shake them?
:'''Everyone''': '''YEAH! GREAT!'''
:''[Everyone finishes drinking their juice boxes, Ord takes the seeds out of his pouch and places them in the juice boxes]''
:'''Max''': It works! Listen to this! ''[shaking his juice box]''
:'''Ord''': That's great, Max, sounds is good as my pouch!
:'''Wheezie''': All right, everybody, let's ''ma-rraca'' and roll!
:'''Zak and Wheezie''': And the ''uno'' and the ''dos''!
:''[They both play the tune on their scales again while the others rattle their juice box maracas and dance happily to the music.]''
:'''Everyone''': '''ALL RIGHT, ZAK AND WHEEZIE! YEAH! ALL RIGHT!''' ''[laugh]''
:'''Max''': That sounded really cool!
:'''Cassie''': I love played the ''maracas''...
:'''Everyone''': '''YES!'''

:'''Enrique''': A little...
:''[His friends looks worried]''
:'''Wheezie''': Well then, how's about we whip up some more ''fiesta'' fun? We can do the Dragonland Conga!
:'''Zak''': What do you say, Enrique?
:'''Enrique''': It sounds great but... Maybe later. ''[walks away sadly under the worried gaze of his friends and Cassie runs to him]''
:'''Cassie''': Enrique, sometimes when I feel sad, I go talk with Quetzal. He helps me figure out my feelings.
:'''Enrique''': Maybe I should.
:''[Changes at the school in the sky]''
:'''Enrique''': A-ah... And everybody's trying so hard to make me a nice party, a-ah... And I really appreciate it... And I really want to have fun... a-ah... And make the sad feeling go away, but it keeps coming back.
:'''Quetzal''': I understand, Enrique. I too sometimes feel sad.
:'''Enrique''': You do?
:'''Quetzal''': Sí, Enrique, and sometimes when I'm feeling especially sad. It seems as if there is only one thing that I want to do.
:'''Enrique''': What's that?
:'''Quetzal''': Cry... Perhaps that is the way you feel right now.
:'''Enrique''': I always heard that boys... They don't... They're not supposed to...
:'''Quetzal''': Ahhhhhhh... They are not supposed to cry because it is not ''macho''.
:'''Enrique''': ''Sí''.
:'''Quetzal''': There is no shame in crying, Enrique. Trust me, in can be a find way to let the sadness out.
:''[Enrique and Quetzal hug each other and he starts crying, after a while then Enrique leaves school more calm down]''
:'''Everyone''': '''HI, ENRIQUE!'''
:'''Enrique''': ''Hola'', everyone.
:'''Ord''': Are you okay, Enrique? You look like you've been crying.
:'''Enrique''': ''Sí'', but it's okay. Quetzal told me crying helps let the sadness out, and he was right.
:''[His friends nod their heads]''
:'''Emmy''': You do seem happier now, Enrique...
:'''Enrique''': ''Sí'', Emmy. I still feel a little sad, but mostly I feel like it's my birthday and I want to have fun!
:'''Everyone''': ''[celebrating]'' '''GOOD!'''

'''''[[w:Tweenies|Tweenies]]''''' is a British live action puppet children's television series created by Will Brenton and Iain Lauchlan and produced by Tell-Tale Productions for the BBC. The programme was focused on four preschool-aged characters, known as the "Tweenies"; Jake, Fizz, Milo & Bella, whilst playing, singing, dancing and learning in a fictional playgroup in England. They are cared for by two adult Tweenies; Judy & Max and his dog; Doodles, and later another dog, Izzles who belongs to Judy.

:'''Max''' (offscreen): Clock Shock!
''[Title picture fades out in a circular animation, Max is then seen next to the Tweenie Clock, he presses it and it springs into life]''
:'''Max''': Tweenie Clock, where will it stop?
''[The Tweenie Clock sequence then plays, however, it incorrectly stops at Messy Time, The Tweenies are then shown all confused]''
:'''Tweenies''' (confused): Messy Time?!
:'''Jake''': Hang on, that's not right, is it?
:'''Bella''': No, it can't be Messy Time yet.
:'''Fizz''': But we always have Song Time first.
:'''Milo''': Yeah, yeah, yeah! Try it again, Max.
:'''Jake''': Yeah.
''[Max is then shown, again next to the Tweenie Clock]''
:'''Max''': Oh, OK, Milo! Alright.
''[He then presses the Tweenie Clock again and it springs into life again]''
:'''Max''': Tweenie Clock, where will it stop?
''[The Tweenie Clock sequence then plays, this time, it correctly stops at Song Time]''
:'''Tweenies''': Song Time!
''[The rock rendition of Hickory Dickory Dock then plays]''
:'''Bella''': It's Hickory Dickory Dock!
:'''Jake''': Let's sing!
:'''Milo''': Yay!
:'''Tweenies''' (singing): Hickory dickory dock, The mouse ran up the clock, The clock struck one ('''Bella''': Bong!), The mouse ran down ('''Fizz''': Whee!), Hickory dickory dock.
:'''Milo''': Yay! Come on, let's sing it again!
:'''Jake''': Yeah, you're joining too!
:'''Bella''': And do the actions with us. Ready?

:'''Milo''': Yay!
''[Just as the Tweenies about to sing the third time however, the Tweenie Clock strangely presses itself, the Tweenies are taken by surprise and confused, the Tweenie Clock is then shown with no-one next to it, having sprung to life on its own]''
:'''Bella''': Who pressed the clock?
''[The Tweenies are then shown, still confused]''
:'''Fizz''': Max, I suppose.
:'''Milo''': Uhhh
''[The usual Tweenie Clock sequence plays, it stops at Story Time]''
:'''Tweenies''': Story Time!
''[The Story Time animation and jingle then plays, the Tweenies are shown looking for Max]''
:'''Fizz''': Oh! Where is Max then?
:'''Jake''': Maybe he's hiding from us.
:'''Milo''': Yeah, yeah! He's playing a trick on us.
:'''Tweenies''': Max? Max?
''[The Tweenie Clock then presses itself again, this time though, the tune goes from normal to low, realization dawns on the Tweenies, the Tweenie Clock is then shown, again with no-one next to it]''
:'''Fizz''': The clock's doing it all by itself.
''[The Tweenies are shown, having figured out the situation]''
:'''Bella''': It dosen't sound right though.
''[The Tweenie Clock is then shown, the sequence is sped up]''
:'''Milo''': Strange-a-rooney!
:'''Jake''': Yeah!
''[On cue, the Tweenie Clock flashes all five lights, indicating Surprise Time]''
:'''Tweenies''' (confused): Surprise Time?!
''[The Surprise Time animation and jingle then plays, although the jingle speeds up on the 8th note, Max then comes out of the curtain and automatically assumes some-one had deliberately pressed the clock two times]''
:'''Max''' (pissed): HEY! Who's messing about with the clock? You know it'll break if you keep pressing it.
''[The Tweenies then come up to Max and explain the situation to him]''
:'''Bella''': It's not us, Max.
:'''Max''': Eh?
:'''Fizz''': It keeps starting all by itself.
''[Max realizes what the Tweenies meant]''
:'''Max''': Oh!
:'''Jake''': What's wrong with it, Max?
''[Just as Milo is about to speak, the Tweenie Clock once again presses itself, the tune is completely sped up, the Tweenie Clock is then shown, once again with no-one next to it, the speed is completely sped up]''
:'''Tweenies''': '''OH, NO!!!!!!'''
:'''Milo''': Tweenie Clock, it just won't stop!!!!
''[The Tweenie Clock is then shown, sparks immediately start coming out of it]''
:'''Jake''': I don't like it!
''[Jake then cowardly holds Max's arm, the Tweenie Clock is then shown with more sparks coming out of it, at this point however, the speed is at its peak, the Tweenies are shown bracing, the Tweenie Clock is then shown again, with the last sparks coming out of it, it then explodes]''
:'''Tweenies''': '''OH, NOOOO!!!!'''
:'''Milo''': COOL!!!!
:'''Jake''': Is it broked?
''[The Tweenie Clock is then shown with smoke coming out]''
:'''Max''': I'm afraid so Jake, yeah. It must have, uh, yeah, it must have blown a fuse that's it, yes. (springs into action) Not a worry, I'll just get me tool kit. I'll have it fixed in no time. (reminding) Now stay away from it now won't you yes?
:'''Tweenies''': Yes, Max.
:'''Max''': Right!
:'''Judy''' (offscreen): I'm back!
:'''Tweenies''': JUDY!
''[Judy had come back from walking Doodles and Izzles, The Tweenies come up to Judy and explain the situation to her.]''
:'''Bella''': Judy, something awful happened.
:'''Judy''': Huh?
:'''Fizz''': The clock's broken, Judy.
:'''Judy''': Oh, no!
:'''Milo''': Yeah, it kept going off all by itself, and then it blew up.
:'''Judy''': Oh, nooo!
:'''Jake''': Max is going to get his toolkit, Judy.
:'''Judy''': Oh, noo!
''[Max then appears with his toolkit]''
:'''Max''': Hello, Judy.
:'''Judy''': Hello, Max.
:'''Max''': Heard about any excitement have you?
:'''Judy''': I have indeed, Max.
''[Doodles and Izzles had both obviously missed the Tweenie Clock explosion]''
:'''Doodles''': Well, seem like we missed all the fusses.
:'''Izzles''': Yeah, I'd like to see the clock blow up.
:'''Milo''': Wuuh, it was amazing Izzles, it went bing-a-ling-a-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-baaaaang!
''[Izzles then barks]''
:'''Max''': Now, I'll just switch it off at the back (switches off the Tweenie Clock at the back) don't worry, I'll soon get this sorted out, should only take a few minutes.
:'''Judy''': Uhhh, few minutes is it? Uhh, I'm afraid it's going to take a bit longer than that.
:'''Fizz''': What should we do, Judy?
:'''Judy''': Uhhh. Tell you what, let's go make something, shall we, while we're waiting for Max.

==== First inaugural address as Governor of Minnesota (7 January 2019) ====
:<small>[https://mn.gov/governor/newsroom/press-releases/?id=1055-557499#/detail/appId/1/id/364496 First inaugural address as 41st Governor of Minnesota in St. Paul, MN]</small>
* '''As a small town boy turned soldier, football coach and high school teacher, never did I envision standing before you today as Minnesota’s 41st Governor—and neither, I am sure, did you. The inaugural ceremony is a public acceptance of our legal—and moral—responsibility to this great state. A clear recognition of the privilege we’ve been given by the people of Minnesota to do our best to further our state’s magnificent legacy.'''<br>'''To those of you who voted for me, thank you for your trust. For Minnesotans who voted for someone else—like the gentleman who came out to a listening session on a Friday night in Fergus Falls to tell me he didn’t vote for me, but doesn’t want to see me fail—I’ll work hard to earn your trust as your governor.'''
* You know what they say, behind every governor is an astonished mother-in-law.<br>'''To my mother, Darlene Walz. Thank you. Thank you for everything you have done for me and showing me what strength looks like. I love you, Mom.'''<br>Finally, to those who walked into this theater with me—teachers of mine, teachers I have worked with, students I have taught, and all other educators in the room—please stand as we thank you.<br>Thirty-six years ago, Governor Rudy Perpich also asked the teachers in the room to rise during his swearing-in at Hibbing High School. I’m honored to recognize our educators again today.
* '''We find ourselves at a time when economic, social, racial, and geographic division feels rampant. I will not normalize behavior that seeks to deepen and exploit these divides. I will not normalize policies that are not normal—ones that undermine our decency and respect. If Washington won’t lead, Minnesota will.'''
* There is a temptation to see these times as unprecedented, to see our current challenges as insurmountable. As a history teacher, I found it instructive to look back at past inaugural speeches to see how incoming governors portrayed the situations facing them.<br>In 1955, Governor Orville Freeman painted a picture of a society in intense crisis, besieged by the struggle between freedom and totalitarianism raging around the world.<br>In 1971, Governor Wendy Anderson spoke about how health care cost too much—or wasn’t even available. He described a housing shortage in which the average young couple in Minnesota could not dream of buying a home.<br>In 1979, Governor Al Quie expressed concern about discrimination in our state. He urged the legislature to take action to eliminate discrimination in all forms, and to open opportunities for women, people of color, the poor, those with disabilities, and the elderly.<br>In 2011, Governor Mark Dayton described how our education system was failing our students, thus failing our future.<br>It strengthens my resolve to know those who came before me, on whose shoulders I stand, faced difficult challenges, many similar to those we face today.
* My predecessors tackled the problems they faced, and working together with the legislature, they made progress. Because of that progress, our state enjoys one of the best education systems in the country, one of the best health care systems in the country, and perhaps the best quality of life in the country.<br>But we can and must do better. '''Old ways of doing things must be updated. New solutions must be found for new problems. We must continue to aim higher, reach further, and build brighter futures for the people of our state.'''
* Education is the great equalizer of society. Education unleashes untapped potential. Education conjures the magic of promising beginnings and the grace of second chances. Putting a young child on a yellow bus to pre-kindergarten in St. Cloud can prevent him from riding a prison bus to Stillwater.
* There’s no doubt about it: we face some tremendous challenges in the coming years. Our economy is changing. Healthcare costs are soaring. Even the climate is unstable, causing devastating weather events. But we must face these challenges with a quiet confidence that can only be found in Minnesota, with a bipartisan pragmatism, and a humble determination to lead the Bold North.
* As you know, I was a high school coach for many years. I have a high regard for competition on the football field. But governing is not a sporting contest with opposing teams each wanting to defeat the other. It’s not a horse race nor a poker game to see who can best the other. It’s about working together. Working to give everyone a better chance.
* No matter how daunting the challenge; no matter how dark the times; Minnesota has always risen up—by coming together. Our blood saved the Union at Gettysburg. Our iron forged the tanks that liberated Europe. Our farmers sparked a green revolution that fed the world. Our imagination transformed medicine. One Minnesota is who we are. We just need to foster it. Together as One Minnesota, we don’t fear the future. We create it.
=== 2023 ===
* Today, we’re protecting the rights of Minnesotans and making sure our state remains a place where people have the freedom to get the care they need to live their fullest lives. We’re also protecting young and vulnerable Minnesotans from the harmful and discredited practice of conversion therapy. We’re putting up a firewall to ensure Minnesotans have the freedom to make their own health care decisions.
** Remarks on signing Chapter 28, House File 16 (protecting people seeking or providing abortions in Minnesota); Chapter 29, House File 146 (banning the practice of conversion therapy); and the Reproductive Freedom Defense Act (Chapter 31, House File 366, protecting people seeking or providing gender-affirming health care in Minnesota) on 27 April 2023[https://mn.gov/governor/newsroom/press-releases/?id=1055-557499#/detail/appId/1/id/575115]

:<small>[https://mn.gov/governor/newsroom/press-releases/?id=1055-557499 Second inaugural address as 41st Governor of Minnesota in St. Paul, MN]</small>
* It’s the honor of my life to be your governor, and I am humbled to have the opportunity to do this important work for another four years. I will do my best to serve you well. At this occasion four years ago as I took my oath of office, we had no idea the extraordinary challenges that lay ahead. I believed in you, and you believed in me. Together, we emerged from those historic challenges a better state – and today, we are faced with historic opportunity.
* To members of the state and federal judicial branches, thank you for being here and for your service to our state and nation. I would like to congratulate my fellow constitutional officers – It’s an honor to work with each of you. To my staff and my cabinet, thank you for your tireless work. I’m forever grateful.
* Gwen, my wife, and Minnesota’s First Lady – we began our journey together with a commitment to service... who would have guessed... Our partnership keeps me honest, grounded, and true to our shared values and vision for the world we want to create for our children, our nieces, and nephews. I’m grateful for your sage advice, your acumen, your proof reading, and your never-ending attention to detail. Thank you for sharing your family—Val, Lynn, your sisters and brothers-in-law—with me. I can’t wait to continue building our exciting life together.<br>Hope and Gus, I’m proud to be your dad. I love you both. It must be difficult to have me as your dad – for so many reasons – especially over the last four years. I respect your maturity, your intellect, your humor, compassion, and generosity. Thank you for sharing our family with the people of Minnesota. I know you both will continue to make a positive impact on the lives of others by defining service in your own way.
* And to my mom, Darlene, who is with us today. When dad died, you worked tirelessly to keep us together. My dad — a Korean War era vet, an educator, and a cigarette smoker — died of lung cancer when I was a teenager, and my family struggled enormously to pay his outstanding medical bills. We got by on social security survivor benefits and my mom’s job in a nursing home. Mom, your hard work and courage was a powerful example for me.<br>My mom raised four teachers – and three out of four of us married teachers. Education is in our blood. Gwen and I met teaching high school, and we taught together for many years after we were married. We saw firsthand the challenges our students face. While we were in the classroom, coaching football, organizing dances, and directing plays, Gwen and I got to know our students and the obstacles in their lives. It was my experience as a teacher and my passion for education that led me to run for governor.
* My mission as governor is simple: make Minnesota the best state in the country for kids. This is what I have charged my team to do – to make our state the best place to raise a family, and I’m proud to say we have made historic strides.
* But let’s be clear: we have more work to do. Across the country, the pandemic disrupted the lives of our students. And despite the heroic efforts of teachers, students, and parents, many of our kids have fallen behind. We’ve re-doubled our efforts with summer catchup programs but we have more work to do.<br>And to be clear: the burden is not on our children, or even our teachers – it’s on all of us. That’s why in this coming legislative session, we will make the largest investment in public education the state has ever seen. We will pass universal meals to ensure every student is given something to eat and no child has to worry about the color of their lunch ticket. We will fund special education and make sure every young person in Minnesota has the resources they need to succeed. We will put mental health front and center. We’ll work together to stop the stigma and allow young people access to the help they need to reach their full potential. We will ban conversion therapy to ensure that every LGBTQ student knows they are perfect just the way they are. And we will fund programs to recruit and train the next generation of teachers – so a diverse generation of students has an equally diverse generation of teachers.<br>But Investing in our classrooms is only the beginning. Building the best schools in the nation is a good start, but to make Minnesota the best state for kids we need to make sure that kids are thriving in and OUT of the classroom. Children can’t learn if they’re hungry or without a home. We have the opportunity to ensure every child has a safe place to call home and that no child goes hungry. I am committed to ending child poverty in Minnesota.
* Now is the time to be bold and build a bright future for all Minnesotans. Now is the time to deliver.<br>We can lead the nation in ending child poverty and making sure every child receives a world-class education. And in doing so, we will continue to make Minnesota the best place to raise a family. I have a positive vision for the future of our state and it’s rooted in my belief that we’re in this together. I still believe that we’re One Minnesota – not that we are all the same or that we all the agree, but that we can work together across lines of difference to do what’s right, what’s fair, and make our state a better place for all.<br>As I look into this room and see so many newly elected leaders—including the promising faces of our new majorities in both the House and the Senate—I can’t help but feel optimistic. I’m looking at a state legislature—on both sides of the aisle—that looks more like the people of Minnesota than any time in history. This gives me hope. It inspires me. And I look forward to working together – Republicans and Democrats alike.<br>I’ll work with anyone who’s willing to work with me to get things done – because Minnesotans spoke clearly this last election, and they expect all of us to do just that: get things done. The era of gridlock is over. Minnesotans have chosen hope over fear, fact over fiction, and action over excuses. Our path is clear. It’s time to lead.
* '''To all who have been elected to serve: Be the decent, dedicated, and diverse leaders you were elected to be. Be the ally, and the role model, and the change maker your constituents need you to be.'''<br>'''Work pragmatically. Work with someone you never thought you could to accomplish something you never thought possible.'''<br>We are not here to score political points. We are not here for victory laps. We are here to improve lives. We have a moment – and it’s not about which party won or which party is in control; this moment is about our opportunity to work collaboratively and get things done for Minnesotans.<br>This is our opportunity to model what public service and public servants look like. This is our opportunity to make change, to make what was previously impossible possible, and to strengthen faith in government as a force for good. This is our opportunity to restore civility, transparency, and accessibility to the decision-making table for Minnesotans of all ages, races, genders, and zip codes. This is our opportunity to build One Minnesota, and to make our state the best place in the country to live, to work, and to raise a family. This is our opportunity. Let’s get to work.

* But I'll have to be honest with you, what struck me everywhere I went -- without exception, people really wanted the same basic things out of an American life. And I wanna be clear, when I say "basic things", I mean things like meaningful work, safe neighborhoods, good schools, affordable quality healthcare. But I also mean something more. It became clear to me, people want security. And I mean that broadly; they wanna feel like their life is built on a solid foundation that won't collapse under them if the wind blows the wrong way or something happens. People want an opportunity where they feel like they can get ahead, not just settling to get by. And they really are concerned about giving their kids a chance to get ahead. And I think, most of all (and you saw it, in a very deep way), people want freedom. To live their lives the way ''they'' want to live them. It's not the way-- Maybe their neighbors wouldn't want them to live the same way, but the freedom is supposed to be everybody's birthright! Not because of how much money you had, or where your family came from, no matter who you love or how you prayed... or what you think about the issues of the day are.

* We've been warning for weeks that the [[Donald Trump|Trump]] administration's [[dangerous]], [[sensationalized]] operations are a threat to our public safety, that someone was going to get hurt.

* Donald Trump and his administration may not care much about [[Minnesota]]. That's been pretty evident, but we [[love]] this state. We won't let them tear us apart. We'll not turn against each other. To Minnesotans, I say this, I feel your [[anger]]. I'm angry. They want a show. We can't give it to them. We cannot. If you protest and express your First Amendment rights, please do so peacefully as you always do. We can't give them what they want. The hearts and minds of the people in this state are on our side.

* <!-- We have activated dozens of members of the state patrol's mobile response team. And from here on, -->I have a very simple message. We do not need any further help from the federal government. <br /> To Donald Trump and [[Kristi Noem]]: you've done enough. <br /> There's nothing more important than Minnesotan safety. I've issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard. We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary. I remind you, a warning order is a heads up for folks, and these National Guard troops are our National Guard troops. They're teachers in your community. They're business owners. They're construction professionals. They are Minnesotans. Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight. We will not take the bait. We will continue to update you, Minnesota, as we get more information.
* <!-- This, this was so, so preventable, so unnecessary, and I don't know. --> I hope maybe we're at the [[Joseph McCarthy|McCarthy]] moment. Do you have no decency? Do you have no decency?

And now we hear more political rhetoric. Enough, enough is enough. And so to Minnesotans don't take the bait. Do not take the bait. Do not allow them to deploy federal troops into here. Do not allow them to invoke the Insurrection Act. Do not allow them to declare martial law. Do not allow them to lie about the security and the decency of this state. And let's let this investigation play itself. Let's make sure we protect our neighbors. I encourage you to use your First Amendment rights and all of your constitutional rights, but do so in a peaceful manner. We'll gather back with you as soon as we gather more information that needs to be put out. But again, stay safe, Minnesotans, and we'll be back with you.

* After Vice President Kamala Harris announced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate earlier this week, LGBTQ+ voters immediately zeroed in on one particular detail from his lengthy biography: In 1999, while coaching the football team at Mankato High School and working as a social studies teacher, he also served as the faculty advisor for the school’s first-ever gay-straight alliance (GSA).<br>“It really needed to be the football coach, who was the soldier and was straight and was married,” Walz told the Star Tribune in 2018 of the symbolic significance of his decision to advise the group.<br>As any queer person who was in grade school in 1999 can attest, the straight teacher who coached the football team and served in the Army National Guard is perhaps the last person you’d expect to sponsor a GSA. That's exactly why Jacob Reitan, a former student of Walz’s wife Gwen at Mankato High, was so impressed by the couple’s vocal support for LGBTQ+ youth. In an MSNBC interview with NBC News’ Jen Psaki on Wednesday night, Reitan recalled the impact the Walz family had on him in 1997 when he was still in the closet.
** Samantha Allen, [https://www.them.us/story/tim-walz-jacob-reitan-high-school-gsa/"A Former Student Shares Why He Asked Tim Walz to Advise the School’s First GSA"], ''Them'', 8 August 2024
* In 1999, when Reitan came out, Gwen Walz was the third person he told after his close friend and his sister, as he said during his appearance on MSNBC. Reitan subsequently approached Tim Walz to become the advisor for the GSA, and Walz agreed. “Both Tim and Gwen were incredibly supportive of their gay students. They modeled values of inclusivity and respect. That helped not just me — I was bullied in high school — but it also, I think, helped the bully. It helped show the bully a better path forward,” Reitan continued.<br>Reitan went on to have a storied career in LGBTQ+ advocacy before working as a lawyer. In 2006, at age 23, he founded the Soulforce Equality Ride bus tour campaign, which brought LGBTQ+ students to Christian colleges for debates on queer issues. In addition to his work to help repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) policy, which barred U.S. military servicemembers from disclosing their sexual orientation, Reitan joined the Minnesota Governor’s Task Force on the Prevention of School Bullying in 2012, as the Mankato Free Press reported in a 2017 profile on his work. (Them has reached out to Reitan for comment on this story.)<br>In many respects, that history of LGBTQ+ advocacy lines up with Walz’s own: As a United States congressman, Walz opposed DADT, voting to repeal the policy in 2010. Walz also ran for Congress while openly supporting same-sex marriage in 2006.<br>“He’s a remarkable individual,” Reitan told MSNBC.

* The Trump administration announced it is suspending $129m in federal benefit payments to Minnesota amid allegations of widespread fraud in the state. The secretary of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Brooke Rollins, shared a letter on Friday on social media that was addressed to Minnesota’s governor, Tim Walz, and the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, notifying them of the administration’s decision and citing investigations into alleged fraud conducted by local non-profits and businesses. “Despite a staggering, wide-reaching fraud scandal, your administrations refuse to provide basic information or take common sense measures to stop fraud. The Trump administration refuses to allow such fraud to continue,” Rollins wrote.<br>Rollins asked Walz and Frey to provide the USDA with justification for all federal spending from 20 January 2025 to the present within 30 days. She is also requiring that all federal payments to the state moving forward require the same justification. “We’re communicating with state partners to understand the impacts of such a blanket cut to funding meant for residents most in need,” Brian Feintech, a spokesperson for the city of Minneapolis, said in a written statement in response to Rollins’s letter.<br>“What’s abundantly clear is that Minneapolis is the latest target of the Trump administration – willing to harm Americans in service to its perceived political gain.”<br>Minnesota’s attorney general, Keith Ellison, publicly responded to Rollins’s post, writing on X: “I will not allow you to take from Minnesotans in need. I’ll see you in court.”

* The USDA’s announcement coincides with a federal ruling that the Trump administration cannot block federal money for childcare subsidies and other programs aimed at supporting low-income families with children from reaching five Democratic-led states, including Minnesota. The Trump administration has targeted Minnesota over the past year over allegations of fraud, specifically going after the state’s Somali population. Federal prosecutors estimate as much as $9bn has been stolen across schemes allegedly linked to the state’s Somali population. Trump ended legal protections for Somali immigrants in the state in November 2025, claiming that “Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from.”<br>Shortly thereafter, Trump went off on both Somalis and Ilhan Omar, the Minnesota congressional representative who is from Somalia and is a US citizen, in a xenophobic rant during a cabinet meeting. “They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country, I’ll be honest with you,” the president said. He called Omar “garbage” and said “we’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country”.

* Tim Walz addressed the ongoing fraud scandal in Minnesota after a viral video showed an empty daycare center with a misspelled sign that received millions in federal funding. The Minnesota governor claimed he was taking strong action against the alleged fraud, just hours after FBI boss Kash Patel revealed the crisis runs far deeper than initially thought. 'The governor has worked for years to crack down on fraud and ask the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action,' a spokesperson for Walz told Fox News. 'He has strengthened oversight - including launching investigations into these specific facilities, one of which was already closed.'<br>Walz also 'hired an outside firm to audit payments to high-risk programs, shut down the Housing Stabilization Services program entirely, announced a new statewide program integrity director, and supported criminal prosecutions.'<br>The governor has been inundated with criticism from concerned Americans questioning how he intends to respond to allegations of widespread fraud within the state. Initial reports emerged earlier this month of a massive Covid-era scheme involving the federally funded nonprofit group Feeding Our Future. At least 78 people, 72 of whom are Somali, have been charged in connection with the illicit plot.

* Walz, who ran as Vice President on the Democratic ticket alongside Kamala Harris in 2024, defended his state on Sunday on X and shared four photographs of him interacting with members of the Somali community. He wrote about Minnesota: '#8 state for safety. #5 state to live in. #3 state for jobs. #2 state to raise a family, and #2 state to retire. 'We've made progress, but there's more to do to deliver security, opportunity, and freedom to every Minnesotan. I won't quit fighting until we're #1.'<br>His post came after outrage over the alleged fraud grew on Friday when independent journalist Nick Shirley shared footage of an apparently empty Minnesota daycare, which reportedly received millions in taxpayer funds.<br>Footage of the facility, featuring a misspelled sign as 'Quality Learing Center', sparked outrage among lawmakers and allegations state authorities allowed the 'largest fraud in US history' to go unchecked. In response, FBI Director Kash Patel said the FBI has long been aware of fraud allegations in the state and threatened action against perpetrators. 'The FBI believes this is just the tip of a very large iceberg,' Patel wrote. 'We will continue to follow the money and protect children, and this investigation very much remains ongoing.'

* 'Furthermore, many are also being referred to immigration officials for possible further denaturalization and deportation proceedings where eligible.' Addressing the allegations made in Shirley's video, Patel said the 'FBI is aware of recent social media reports in Minnesota.' He claimed that the bureau has moving to 'dismantle large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs.' 'Fraud that steals from taxpayers and robs vulnerable children will remain a top FBI priority in Minnesota and nationwide. According to Shirley, the childcare center pocketed $1.9 million from Minnesota's Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) in 2025, bringing the total to $4 million.<br>Shirley, in his investigation, arrived at the doorsteps of several daycare centers, claiming to be a father looking to enroll his child, but said he never saw any children at the facilities.

* In his announcement, Patel emphasized that the FBI has been aggressively targeting a massive fraud network that stole COVID-era food scheme. 'The FBI has toppled a $250 million fraud network that targeted vulnerable children and exposed a 'large-scale money laundering' operation,' Patel said. 'The investigation exposed sham vendors, shell companies and large-scale money laundering tied to the Feeding Our Future network,' he wrote. 'The case led to 78 indictments and 57 convictions.'<br>Prosecutors alleged that most of the meals intended for low-income children during the pandemic never existed. Instead, the taxpayer's money went to luxury homes, cars, jewelry, and real estate abroad. 'These criminals didn't just engage in historic fraud, but tried to subvert justice as well,' Patel wrote.<br>President Donald Trump criticized Governor Tim Walz for allowing Minnesota to become 'a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity.' He said the perpetrators should be 'sent back to where they came from.' Later, he said he would be revoking the temporary protected status of the roughly 700 Somali nationals who have it, which prevents them from being deported. On Thanksgiving, Trump called Walz 'seriously retarded' and also attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar and Minnesota's immigration policy.

* Republican operatives concede that the focus on Walz, the former running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, is easy political fodder after an election cycle spent portraying him as an inept and radical governor. And in an election season in which Walz is seeking a rare third term in office, the attacks could prove fruitful in a blue state where Republicans are hoping to make inroads. Still, Republicans believe that “even Democrats” don't want Walz as a candidate in future general elections, and that Democratic politicians such as Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), a possible 2028 contender for president, or New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, an avowed socialist, will prove the most useful in this and future cycles.<br>“Let’s be honest. This is a guy who made Kamala Harris seem like an expert debater,” said one out-of-government adviser to the president, a veteran of all three of his presidential campaigns. “We’ll have our fun, but I’m not sure that even an expert brander like President Trump can just wish this one into reality.”<br>A second Trump veteran, who previously worked in the White House but has since grown frustrated with the president’s performance in office, said Trump’s focus on Walz and “the past” will eventually wear on voters’ nerves, considering Trump's declining approval ratings.<br>“America elected President Trump in 2024 to save us from the economic disaster that a Harris-Walz administration would inflict,” the former Trump staffer explained. “But that was over a year ago, and we’re more or less in the same place. We’re still dealing with crazy inflation, and all the economic growth we’ve seen this year is propped up by just a handful of tech companies, which the administration is heavily subsidizing by the way. He needs to actually deliver some real results and fix these problems, not just b**** and moan about how much worse things would’ve been if he hadn’t won.”

* The revelation of widespread fraud committed by members of Minnesota’s Somali community is a political gift for President Donald Trump, allowing him to elevate Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as a sorely needed foil for Republicans ahead of the midterm elections. But veteran campaign operatives for both parties expect that Walz's status as a Democratic boogeyman will be short-lived, and that Republicans will inevitably look back to California or New York, where bigger-name figures are dominating GOP claims of socialism and incompetence.<br>Trump has heaped attacks on Walz in the weeks after the fraud became a national news story, with the president and Republicans more broadly questioning how hundreds of millions in federal dollars were squandered under Walz's watch. The fraud represents the latest misuse of pandemic-era funds and has become a ballooning case for the Justice Department, which has prosecuted dozens of alleged conspirators.<br>But the story also has a political dimension that ties together the GOP's emphasis on fiscal responsibility with the hard line it has drawn on immigration. FBI Director Kash Patel said that his agency is working with immigration authorities for "possible further denaturalization and deportation proceedings.”<br>Walz has defended his handling of the fraud allegations, telling Fox News that his office "strengthened oversight" once the schemes came to light. But that defense has not quieted the criticism, as the Trump administration and its congressional allies expand investigations into suspected misconduct and even begin to withhold federal dollars.<br>Meanwhile, Trump has blamed Democratic policies for an influx of immigrants he says are "completely taking over" the country, and has hurled insults at Walz, drawing controversy for calling him a dated slur for intellectually disabled people.

* Multiple senior Democratic officials, one of whom staffed Walz on the 2024 campaign trail, told the Washington Examiner that the Minnesota fraud scandal plays into the GOP’s electoral strengths but doubted that it would help Minnesota Republicans win next year’s gubernatorial election or resonate with voters beyond the state like Trump’s immigration rhetoric did while running against Harris.<br>“The thing about the border security issue was it was so present. People see ‘fraud’ and Somalian immigrants, but it’s not like the images of people running across the border or through the Rio Grande,” the former Walz aide said. “I’m always worried about the misuse of public dollars, but this is a little in the weeds.”<br>A second senior Democratic official welcomed Trump’s attacks on Walz, saying the president’s focus could solidify support from the “anti-Trump” crowd around the incumbent.<br>“No Democrat is running against Gov. Walz because we, and the voters, know the truth: He is a good man, and Trump’s attacks are more rooted in racism than reality,” the official assessed, noting that Republicans, by contrast, have not yet landed a strong recruit for the governor's race.<br>“On the other side, you’ve got basically a dozen Republicans all trying to out-Trump each other, and they’re all probably going to lose to Mike Lindell," they added. "Minnesota hasn’t voted a new Republican into a major office since Trump stepped off the golden escalator, and I seriously doubt the My Pillow guy is going to change that."

* A third Democratic staffer laughed that Trump “can’t even keep the plot straight” on who to blame for the Minnesota scandal, pointing fingers at both Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who is a Somali immigrant.<br>Still, the fraud scandal continues to be an unwanted firestorm for the Democratic Party that, beyond politics, could jeopardize millions in federal funding. Kelly Loeffler, Trump's Small Business Administration chief, sent a letter to Walz before Christmas, alerting him that the administration would be halting some $5.5 million in funding previously allocated for the state while the federal government continues to investigate additional fraud cases.<br>New reporting that surfaced over the weekend suggests that multiple Minnesota daycare operations were recipients of taxpayer subsidies, despite currently having no children enrolled in the programs.<br>Patel reacted to those reports on Sunday by announcing plans to surge "investigative resources" to expand the federal government's inquiry, adding that the indictments handed out so far represent "just the tip of the iceberg."<br>Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem similarly offered up ICE agents on Monday to conduct investigations of alleged fraud sites.

* Minnesota Governor Walz served for 24 years in the Army National Guard, a military force that is usually deployed within the US to respond to events such as natural disasters, but is also part of the US Army reserve. In August, Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance accused Walz of "stolen valour". Vance referred to a video promoted by the Harris campaign which featured a comment made by Walz in 2018, while he was advocating for gun control. In the clip, Walz said he had "carried weapons in war".<br>This was not true. Walz went to Italy with the National Guard in 2003 as part of support for the US war in Afghanistan but he was never deployed to an active war zone. On 9 August, the Harris campaign issued a statement saying that “in making the case for why weapons of war should never be on our streets or in our classrooms, the Governor misspoke”.

* In August Vance claimed: “When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, you know what he did? He dropped out of the army and allowed his unit to go without him.” Several former National Guard colleagues have previously publicly voiced frustrations at Walz’s decision to leave their unit before deployment to Iraq but others have rejected assertions that he retired to avoid combat duty. In February 2005, while he was still in the National Guard, Walz filed an application to run for election as a member of Congress from Minnesota.<br>The following month it was announced that there would be “a possible partial mobilisation of roughly 2,000 troops from the Minnesota National Guard” to Iraq within the next two years, according to a 2005 press release from Walz’s congressional campaign. In the statement, Walz said: “I do not yet know if my artillery unit will be part of this mobilisation.” He added: “I don’t want to speculate on what shape my campaign will take if I am deployed, but I have no plans to drop out of the race."<br>Walz retired from the National Guard in May 2005, which he later said was so he could focus fully on running for Congress. His National Guard unit received orders to mobilise for Iraq in July 2005, and was sent there in March 2006, according to the battalion’s history page.<br>On 13 August 2024, Mr Walz responded directly to his critics, recalling that he'd joined the National Guard aged 17: "I served for the next 24 years for the same reason all my brothers and sisters do, we love this country. Then in 2005 I felt the call of duty again, this time giving service to my country in the halls of Congress."

* Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) likened President Trump’s immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities to the barbaric Nazi occupation chronicled by Anne Frank. “We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside,” Walz declared during a fiery press conference on Sunday. “Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank.” “Somebody’s going to write that children’s story about Minnesota.” Frank famously chronicled her harrowing time in hiding during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands for over two years before her capture. Ultimately, she died in a concentration camp.<br>Taking a somber tone, Walz vowed to be defiant in the face of Operation Metro Surge and re-upped his well-worn demands for the Trump administration to end the surge of federal law enforcement personnel to the state.

* “If it was the intention of Donald Trump to make an example of Minnesota, then I’m damn proud of the example that the world is seeing,” the governor added. Tensions in Minneapolis have soared in the wake of a Border Patrol agent’s shooting of Alex Pretti, 37, an ICU nurse, on Saturday. Footage showed multiple officers pinning Pretti to the ground and removing his 9mm handgun, the gun slide of which appeared to move. Officers then opened fire on Pretti. Attorney General Pam Bondi penned a letter to Walz on how to end the chaos in Minnesota but the governor shrugged that off. “There’s 2 million documents in the Epstein files we’re still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those,” Walz snapped back on Sunday.<br>“We cooperate. We don’t do their job,” Walz later contended when pressed about the Trump administration’s demands that it can get more access to the state’s jails. “It’s their job to do immigration.” The shooting of Pretti came some two weeks after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot Renee Good, also 37, after she accelerated her SUV in his direction. An investigation into Pretti’s death is ongoing, according to top officials, including Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

* In Judi Agustin’s freshman year at Mankato West High School, her teacher instructed her to wear a yellow star. It was part of a Holocaust curriculum at the school, located in a remote area of Minnesota with barely any Jews. For a week, freshmen were asked to wear the yellow stars, which were reminiscent of the ones the Nazis made the Jews wear. Seniors played the part of the Gestapo, charged with persecuting the “Jews.”<br>Unlike everyone else in her class in the 2001-2002 school year, Agustin was Jewish. The experience “was incredibly hurtful and offensive and scary,” she recalled on Tuesday. Her father complained to the district, and wrote a letter to the local paper decrying the lesson. In response, she recalled, the head of the department put a stop to them. The teacher who intervened, according to her recollection was the current vice presidential nominee Tim Walz.<br>“When Tim Walz found out about it, he squashed it real quick, and as far as I understand they never did it again,” Agustin told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “So he was an advocate for my experience, as one of four Jewish kids in the entire school district. And I always felt like he had our back.”<br>Walz is on the campaign trail this week with Vice President Kamala Harris, his running mate, and did not immediately respond to a request for comment. JTA could not independently verify that he was the teacher who stopped the Mankato West lesson.<br>But it’s clear that how to teach the Holocaust well has occupied Walz for decades. In 1993, while teaching in Nebraska, he was part of an inaugural conference of US educators convened by the soon-to-open US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. Eight years later, after moving to Minnesota, he wrote a thesis arguing for changes in Holocaust education. And as governor, he backed a push to mandate teaching about the Holocaust in Minnesota schools.<br>Through it all, Walz modeled and argued for careful instruction that treated the Holocaust as one of multiple genocides worth understanding.

* “Schools are teaching about the Jewish Holocaust, but the way it is traditionally being taught is not leading to increased knowledge of the causes of genocide in all parts of the world,” Walz wrote in his thesis, submitted in 2001. The thesis was the culmination of Walz’s master’s degree focused on Holocaust and genocide education at Minnesota State University, Mankato, which he earned while teaching at Mankato West. His 27-page thesis, which JTA obtained, is titled “Improving Human Rights and Genocide Studies in the American High School Classroom.” In it, Walz argues that the lessons of the “Jewish Holocaust” should be taught “in the greater context of human rights abuses,” rather than as a unique historical anomaly or as part of a larger unit on World War II. “To exclude other acts of genocide severely limited students’ ability to synthesize the lessons of the Holocaust and the ability to apply them elsewhere,” he wrote. He then took a position that he noted was “controversial” among Holocaust scholars: that the Holocaust should not be taught as unique but used to help students identify “clear patterns” with other historical genocides like the Armenian and Rwandan genocides.

* Walz was describing, in effect, his own approach to teaching the Holocaust that he implemented in Alliance, Nebraska, years earlier. In the state’s remote northwest region, Walz asked his global geography class to study the common factors that linked the Holocaust to other historical genocides, including economic strife, totalitarian ideology and colonialism. The year was 1993. At year’s end, Walz and his class correctly predicted that Rwanda was most at risk of sliding into genocide.<br>“The Holocaust is taught too often purely as a historical event, an anomaly, a moment in time,” Walz told ''The New York Times'' in 2008, reflecting on those Alliance lessons. “That relieves us of responsibility. Obviously, the mastermind was sociopathic, but on the scale for it to happen, there had to be a lot of people in the country who chose to go down that path.”

* Last year, as Minnesota’s governor, Walz returned to Holocaust education, and supported and signed a law requiring the state’s middle and high schools to teach about the Holocaust. The law, initiated and championed by the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, also encourages schools to teach about other genocides. A working group for the curriculum hit snags earlier this summer when a pro-Palestinian activist was removed from the committee amid debates on whether Israel’s conduct in Gaza constitutes genocide. The mandate is still anticipated to go into effect in the 2025-2026 school year.<br>“This is going to work out, this is going to be good, because the governor and his staff are highly attuned to the concerns and sensitivities of the Jewish community,” Ethan Roberts, the JCRC’s deputy executive director, told JTA.<br>Speaking at a JCRC event in June, Walz said he had been “privileged and proud” to have participated in the US Holocaust Memorial Museum training early in his career. But he said more needed to be done, and he emphasized that the curriculum chosen to accomplish the requirement would determine its success. “We need to do better on Holocaust education. We need to do better on ethnic studies,” he told the crowd. “And I tell you this as a teacher and as governor, too, we don’t need test scores or anything to tell us that we’re failing.” It was the kind of message that former Mankato West students said they came to expect from him. “He is what you hope a great teacher is,” said Solo, “which is someone who’s not only teaching, but also learning at all times.”

* Tim Walz, the Democratic governor of Minnesota, has emerged as a prominent figure in American politics, known for his dedication to creating an inclusive and equitable society for all and his unwavering support of LGBTQ+ rights and commitment to social justice.<br>Serving since January 2019, Walz’s political career spans over a decade, including his tenure as a U.S. Representative for Minnesota. His background as a retired Master Sergeant in the Army National Guard and a former high school teacher uniquely positions him as a leader who understands the values (and shortcomings) of military, educational, and governmental realms. Recently, his strong leadership and progressive values have placed him among those being considered as a potential vice presidential pick for Kamala Harris, further elevating his national profile and influence.

* Born on April 6, 1964, in West Point, Nebraska, Tim Walz grew up in the state’s rural northwestern area of Valentine. He entered the Army National Guard in 1981 at the age of 17, serving 24 years and retiring as a Command Sergeant Major in 2005. In 1989, he earned a bachelor’s in social science education from Chadron State College, and In 2001, he earned a master’s in educational leadership from Minnesota State University, Mankato.<br>Walz was a high school teacher and coach. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2006, representing Minnesota’s 1st congressional district and winning re-election every two years until he became governor in 2018. In the House, he focused largely on veterans issues and became known for his bipartisanship. As governor, he focused on police and firearm reform, cannabis legalization, and educational funding. He won re-election as governor in 2022.

* When running for the House in 2006, Walz ran on a platform expressing support for same-sex marriage, which Minnesota banned in 1997. In 2011, he announced his support for the Respect for Marriage Act, which aimed to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and ensure federal and state recognition of same-sex marriages. The act became law in December 2022.

* While working as a 35-year-old social studies teacher at Mankato West High School in 1999, Walz advised the school’s first gay-straight alliance (GSA) supporting LGBTQ+ students. On May 17, Gov. Walz signed legislation that stops libraries in the state from removing books “based solely on the viewpoint, content, message, idea, or opinion conveyed,” including LGBTQ+ themes. On the day of the law’s signing, Walz wrote, “Censorship has no place in our libraries,” Walz posted to X. “As a former teacher, I’m clear: We need to remember our history, not erase it.”<br>While delivering his State of the State Address last April, Walz seemed to make a thinly veiled criticism of Florida’s “Don’t say gay” law banning classroom instruction on LGBTQ+ issues in schools. “Look, I’m only the governor of this great state. It’s not up to me how folks in places like Florida go about their business,” Walz said. “But I have to tell you, I’m pretty glad we do it our way and not their way. They’re banishing books from their schools. We’re banishing hunger from ours.”

* In 2023, Walz signed a statewide bill banning so-called conversion therapy, the widely discredited and disavowed practice of attempting to change someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity.<br>The conversion therapy ban forbids any medical or mental healthcare practitioner from offering such therapy to minors and “vulnerable” adults. It also forbids any entities from publishing advertising that refers to LGBTQ+ identities as “a mental disease, disorder or illness” or promises to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Practitioners who break the law could face discipline from the state’s health licensing boards.<br>During the law’s signing ceremony, Walz stated, “Minnesota says, ‘Welcome to a state who values who you are and protects you for who you are.’”

* The late ‘90s and early 2000s were a rough time to be a gay teen. Don’t Ask Don’t Tell was still in effect, the U.S. was many years away from the Supreme Court legalizing same-sex marriage, Mathew Shepard was murdered in a horrific anti-gay hate crime that made national headlines in 1998, homophobic jokes were the norm on TV, and LGBTQ+ students were being harassed at schools all across the country.<br>Today we are living through a moment when history is being made by a woman of color becoming the Democratic nominee for president of the United States for the first time — and by Kamala Harris' side is Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz, who has been breaking down barriers and standing up for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community since his days as a high school teacher in the '90s.

* It was during this turbulent period that gay attorney and LGBTQ+ rights activist Jacob Reitan attended Mankato West High School in a Minnesota suburb where Walz taught social studies and coached the football team. “I did receive a fair bit of bullying,” Reitan told PRIDE. “My house was egged, my car window was smashed in the school parking lot, gay epithets were chalked in my driveway, a brick was thrown through my dad’s office window.”<br>Born out of his “activist spirit” and his desire to come out of the closet and stop the bullying, Reitan founded his school’s first Gay Straight Alliance in 1999 with the help of the man who is now delivering stump speeches alongside presidential hopeful Harris.

* When Mankato West High School principal John Barnett suggested Walz for the role of GSA faculty advisor, Reitan knew he’d be the right fit because of how accepting both Walz and his wife Gwen — who was also a dedicated high school teacher at the time — had always been. In fact, Gwen Walz was the third person Reitan ever told he was gay after first coming out to his sister and a close friend. “Gwen was my teacher in the 10th grade, and [she] started her 10th-grade class by saying, ‘This is a safe space for LGBTQ+ people.’ I’d never heard a teacher say positive things about gay people from the front of the classroom,” he said. Starting a group for LGBTQ+ students and their allies in a small city in the Midwest during the late '90s was no easy feat, but choosing the ultimate All-American teacher to lead it turned out to be a brilliant decision.

* With Walz at the helm and the support of the well-respected school principal, the GSA didn’t face as much hate as they expected, but there were still detractors. Reitan recalls that every time the GSA put up posters advertising the group or one of their events, they would get pulled down and ripped up. Not to be deterred, the high school senior always picked up the pieces and eventually turned them into a mural emblazoned with the words, “Symbols of our hate.”<br>The group also faced backlash when it came time for them to organize a Human Rights Week for the school, which focused on a different form of discrimination each day for a week, including gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation, and disability.<br>Both the school and Reitan’s parents received angry letters and phone calls from disgruntled parents who threatened to keep their teens home on the day sexual orientation would be highlighted, but Walz refused to back down and kowtow to closed-minded parents.

* Minnesota has been the white whale for Republicans in the Trump era. And 2026 could be the year they finally break through — if President Donald Trump and one of the most prolific peddlers of conspiracy theories about the 2020 election don’t sink their chances.<br>Republicans are growing optimistic about their chances of unseating Democratic Gov. Tim Walz next year, as he seeks a historic third term. But Trump’s increasingly caustic attacks on Walz and disparagement of Minnesota’s Somali community — and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s entrance into the gubernatorial race — could hurt Republicans’ chances of regaining ground in the state, some party strategists argue.<br>“When the president comes in with a flamethrower and just throws that type of rhetoric, there’s no oxygen, and there’s no space for the Republican to offer suggestions and to be thoughtful in that space, because the rhetoric of the president just paints them into a corner,” said Michael Brodkorb, a former deputy chair of the Minnesota GOP who backed the Democratic ticket in 2024.<br>Republicans have insisted they can be competitive statewide in the blue-leaning Minnesota ever since Trump lost Minnesota by less than 2 points in 2016. But since then, winning the state has beguiled both the president — who faced a 7-point loss in 2020 and a 4-point loss in 2024 — and Republicans in other statewide races, including two fairly comfortable wins for Walz in 2018 and 2022.

* Still, Republicans see an opportunity to win back the Minnesota governor’s seat for the first time since 2006 by hammering Walz, who is running despite scrutiny into his oversight of state benefits and a star turn as the Democratic vice presidential nominee that put him in the crosshairs of Republicans across the country. At the same time, Trump has also used the arrests of some Somali immigrants in federal fraud cases to broadly characterize the state’s Somali population as criminals — leaning on his trademark use of divisive rhetoric that some Republicans worry will fall flat. That risk, insiders warn, could be exacerbated if Lindell, a Trump ally, wins the Republican nomination.<br>“We’d be cooked,” said Dustin Grage, a Minnesota Republican strategist. “I’d be moving to Florida very shortly. We would lose pretty badly if Mike Lindell were to get the nomination.”<br>Those close to the president strenuously disagree, arguing the state remains on the map. House GOP Whip Tom Emmer, the most high-profile Minnesota Republican and an ally of the president, said he’s spoken to Trump about the governor’s race and is confident that any of the 13 Republicans seeking the party’s nomination could defeat Walz.

* In recent weeks, Trump has ramped up his efforts to link Walz to the abuse of government programs — while using incendiary rhetoric directed at the governor and the Somali community. In a social media post on Thanksgiving, he called Walz “seriously retarded” and accused Somali refugees of seeking to “prey” on Minnesotans. And at an early December rally in Pennsylvania, he again denigrated the Somali community while discussing “the great big Minnesota scam with one of the dumbest governors ever in history.”<br>Emmer, who said he spoke with Trump about the governor’s race as early as July, said he believes the president recognizes an opportunity in Walz’s vulnerability. “I think the president knows that Tim Walz is the weakest he’s ever been in his political career,” Emmer said.<br>Former Minnesota House Speaker Kurt Daudt, a Republican, said the fraud investigations are part of the risk for Walz in seeking a third consecutive term. “If you can lay out a case that, ‘Well, you’ve been elected now for eight years, and you haven’t fixed these problems,’ or ‘You haven’t accomplished what you said you were going to’ … it kind of makes it an easier case to say, ‘Maybe it’s time for someone new,’” Daudt said.<br>But the rhetoric Trump is using to highlight the fraud may reframe the issue to the detriment of Walz’s Republican opponent, said Brodkorb,the former party official. He believes Minnesotans are eager to weigh ideas on immigration policy and how to tackle abuse of public programs.<br>“The problem is when the president comes in and says things like, ‘Everyone in the entire Somali community is garbage,’” Brodkorb said.

* In response to a request for comment to a Walz spokesperson, Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Chair Richard Carlbom said in a statement that Walz “heads into reelection with a record focused squarely on working people and kitchen-table issues.”<br>“While the GOP clown-car primary remains consumed by infighting and loyalty tests for Donald Trump, Minnesota families are falling behind as Republicans unleash higher grocery prices, skyrocketing health care bills, and giant tax breaks for billionaires,” Carlbom said. “Minnesotans see the difference — a governor delivering for working families, or Republicans delivering loyalty to Donald Trump and a Washington agenda that puts billionaires first.”

* Walz has emerged as a vocal critic of the second Trump administration, prompting a feud between the two. After a Democratic lawmaker was killed by a gunman and a second was seriously injured earlier this year, Trump said he would not “waste time” calling the “whacked out” governor. Walz’s growing national profile both makes him a high-profile target in the 2026 midterms worthy of trying to defeat, GOP strategists say — but Trump’s intense focus on the race could also backfire given the state’s political makeup.<br>“Having Donald Trump being active in the race for a particular Republican may not be helpful, but it would be extremely helpful to raise the attention on Tim Walz and his record here in the state,” Daudt said. And if Trump ends up throwing his weight behind Lindell — who conspired with Trump in 2020 to advance false claims that the presidential election was stolen — Republicans worry that could give Walz a clearer path to reelection.

You can’t force that kind of speech, you can’t require adherence to ideas that aren’t believed.”<br>The 13-member board that made these changes is appointed by the governor, whom for the last six years has been Walz.

Tim Walz to abandon Minnesota re-election bid"], Fox News, 5 January 2026
* Reactions quickly began to pour in following the Walz announcement. "Good riddance," Republican House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who represents Minnesota's 6th Congressional District, said in a statement. Minnesota Republican state Rep. Kristin Robbins, a candidate for governor, released a statement saying, "Tim Walz and his staggering fraud could not outrun our investigations and the momentum we have in this race. He knows he will lose in November, and would rather give up than take responsibility. Anyone Walz handpicks to run for governor will own the fraud and failures of this administration. Our campaign is building the coalition necessary to stop the fraud, protect our kids, and make Minnesota prosper. As Governor, I will dismantle the years of fraud Democrats allowed and ensure our tax dollars work for Minnesotans."<br>Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth, another leading Republican gubernatorial candidate, took to social media to argue, "If Democrats think they can sweep Minnesota’s fraud scandal away by swapping out Tim Walz, they are wrong." "We need transformational change across state government that only comes with a Republican governor. I will deliver that no matter who the Democrats decide to run," Demuth emphasized.<br>But Democratic Governors Association (DGA) and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said in a statement, "No matter who decides to run or how much national Republicans want to spend, the DGA remains very confident Minnesotans will elect another strong Democratic governor this November." And Besehar praised Walz, a former DGA chair, as "a true leader who has delivered results that will make life better for Minnesota workers and families for years to come."

* The 61-year-old Walz was raised in rural Nebraska and enlisted in the Army National Guard in 1981, soon after graduating from high school. Walz returned to Nebraska to attend Chadron State College, where he graduated in 1989 with a degree in social science education. He taught English and American History in China for one year through a program at Harvard University before being hired in 1990 as a high school teacher and football and basketball coach in Nebraska. Six years later, he moved to Mankato, Minnesota, to teach geography at Mankato West High. Waltz was deployed to Italy to support Operation Enduring Freedom in 2003 before retiring two years later from the National Guard at the rank of command sergeant major. He was elected to the House in 2006 and re-elected five times, representing Minnesota's 1st Congressional District, a mostly rural district covering the southern part of the state that includes a number of midsize cities.<br>During his last two years on Capitol Hill, he served as ranking member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee. Walz won election as governor in 2018 and re-election four years later. But Walz was unknown to many Americans when then-Vice President Kamala Harris chose the Minnesota governor as her running mate in the summer of 2024, soon after she replaced then-President Joe Biden as the Democrats' presidential nominee. Walz, during his three months as running mate, visually and vocally embraced the traditional role of political attack dog that has long been associated with vice presidential nominees. But Harris and Walz fell short, losing the November 2024 election to Trump and now-Vice President JD Vance, as the Democratic Party ticket was swept in all seven crucial battleground states.

* Federal prosecutors unveiled charges Thursday against another six people, accusing them of defrauding public assistance programs in Minnesota — including two men they allege traveled to the state for that express purpose.<br>The latest indictments add fuel to a scandal that has now led to charges against more than 90 people who have been accused, and in many cases convicted, of bilking hundreds of millions of dollars from the Midwestern state, putting Gov. Tim Walz's administration in the hot seat and drawing attacks from President Trump. Thursday's charges focus on housing assistance and autism services. And the pandemic-era food aid fraud case that set off the scandal is still brewing.

* Minnesota is far from the only state that has grappled with allegations of public assistance fraud, especially scams targeting pandemic aid funds. But Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said Minnesota faces a particularly large problem, pointing to 14 different Medicaid programs that the state has flagged for "significant fraud problems." He suggested total losses could reach into the billions.<br>"The fraud is not small. It isn't isolated. The magnitude cannot be overstated," Thompson said at a press conference Thursday. "What we see in Minnesota is not a handful of bad actors committing crimes. It's a staggering, industrial-scale fraud."<br>Walz, whose administration has faced scrutiny for its handling of the issue, has vowed to crack down. Meanwhile, Mr. Trump has sharply criticized Minnesota — and he's lashed out at the state's large Somali-American community as most, but not all, of the defendants are of Somali descent.

* Walz launched a new fraud prevention program on Dec. 12, led by a former FBI agent. He applauded the new federal charges on Thursday. "This is exactly the type of strong action we need from prosecutors to ensure fraudsters are put behind bars," Walz said in a statement. "We will not tolerate fraud, and we will continue to work with federal partners to ensure fraud is stopped and fraudsters are caught."<br>James Clark, inspector general of the Minnesota Department of Human Services, said in a statement Thursday the agency "has been moving more aggressively than ever to suspend payments where we see evidence of fraud." He also urged federal officials to share information with the agency, which oversees many of the programs that were hit by fraud allegations. "If there is evidence of Medicaid fraud, the state should be given the information so DHS can slam the door shut on payments to those individuals and businesses," Clark said.

* A straight, football-coaching national guardsman wasn’t the LGBT+ ally that Seth Elliot Meyer expected. But Meyer, who came out as queer in his freshman year of high school in 2000, admits he was wrong about Tim Walz. “I just sort of naively believed that someone who was a big, masculine dude with a deep voice was never someone who’s going to be on my side,” Meyer says.<br>“As much as those younger students who were courageous enough to be out in those years, it was just as important to have those very kind of ‘normal,’ strong, straight, masculine allies backing us up.”

* Before he was governor of Minnesota, before he was a member of Congress, and before he was a candidate for the next vice president of the United States, he was “Mr Walz,” a geography teacher at Mankato West High School, roughly 80 miles south of Minneapolis.<br>In 1999, Walz agreed to be the faculty adviser for the school’s first ever gay-straight alliance (GSA). Walz and his wife Gwen, who also taught at the school, were a refuge for their LGBT+ students, alumni tell The Independent. Dozens of those former students are now campaigning for him to reach the White House.

* Like, I think that Tim Walz is a great guy and I think he's got a lot of good political instincts, and I think he did the best he could, given the situation he was in. But there is a huge difference between being an outsider who steps in to offer a populist message to the American people and being a, like, friendly Midwestern left-leaning governor Democrat who gets picked as a VP, but is still ultimately beholden to the messaging and policies of your neoliberal President-- or, Presidential candidate.

'''''[[w:The Stanley Parable|The Stanley Parable]]''''' is a story-based [[video game]] designed and written by developers Davey Wreden and [[w:William Pugh (game designer)|William Pugh]]. The game carries themes such as choice in video games, the relationship between a game creator and player, and predestination/fate.
In the game, the player guides a [[w:Silent protagonist|silent protagonist]] named Stanley alongside [[w:Narration|narration]] by British actor Kevan Brighting. As the story progresses, the player is confronted with diverging pathways. The player may contradict the narrator's directions, which if disobeyed will then be incorporated into the story. Depending on the choices made, the player will encounter different endings before the game restarts to the beginning.
In 2013, '''''The Stanley Parable Demonstration''''' was released for free on [[w:Steam|Steam]] on October 11, 2013 as a free [[w:Game demo|gameplay demo]] for ''The Stanley Parable''. Despite being a demo for the full game, ''The Stanley Parable Demonstration'' does not tell the player anything about the story for ''The Stanley Parable'' and it barely shows any of the environments that can be found in the full version of the game. Even though [[w:Game demo|gameplay demos]] are normally made to give the player an insight of what the full game has in store for the player, this demo was instead designed to be more of a showcase of the type of humour and themes that the full game, ''The Stanley Parable'' does have.<ref name="polygon demo">{{Cite web |last=Tach |first=Dave |date=October 10, 2013 |title=The Stanley Parable's super clever demo hits Steam today |url=http://www.polygon.com/2013/10/10/4823566/the-stanley-parable-demo-hands-on |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160201235105/http://www.polygon.com/2013/10/10/4823566/the-stanley-parable-demo-hands-on |archive-date=February 1, 2016 |access-date=October 17, 2013 |website=[[w:Polygon (website)|Polygon]]}}</ref>
In 2022, '''''The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe''''' was released. ''Ultra Deluxe'' is both an updated remake and a sequel to the original, featuring new or altered endings and content as well as metafictional commentary on the original game and the nature of game sequels in general.
= The Stanley Parable =
*This is the story of a man named Stanley. Stanley worked for a company in a big building where he was Employee Number 427. Employee Number 427's job was simple. He sat at his desk in Room 427, and he pushed buttons on a keyboard. Orders came to him through a monitor on his desk, telling him what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order. This is what Employee 427 did every day of every month of every year; and although others might have considered it soul-rending, Stanley relished every moment that the orders came in, as though he had been made exactly for this job… and Stanley was happy. <br> And then one day, something very peculiar happened, something that would forever change Stanley, something he would never quite forget. He had been at his desk for nearly an hour; he realized that not one single order had arrived on the monitor for him to follow. No one had showed up to give him instructions, call a meeting, or even say “hi”. Never in all his years at the company had this happened; this complete isolation. Something was very clearly wrong. Shocked, frozen solid, Stanley found himself unable to move for the longest time; but as he came to his wits and regained his senses, he got up from his desk, and stepped out of his office.
* All of his co-workers were gone. What could it mean? Stanley decided to go to the meeting room; perhaps he had simply missed a memo.
*Stanley just stood there doing nothing at all. He seems to think I have nothing better to do with my time than to sit around and describe every fascinating little detail of his inability to do anything.
*When Stanley came to a set of two open doors, he entered the door on his left.
*''[After repeatedly disobeying the narrator]'' Stanley was so bad at following directions it was incredible he wasn’t fired years ago.
===Leaving Stanley's Office===
*Stanley decided to go to the meeting room to check on his co-workers. He never functioned well by himself, and constantly needed support and guidance from others. So the thought of total solitude was terrifying to him.
*“How long was I sitting there?” Stanley wondered to himself. “Minutes? Days? Centuries? Did something crucial happen while my senses were turned?” He made a note to be more careful with time from now on.
*A soft wind blew outside, and perhaps rain started. And, if it did, it stopped shortly after. Stanley hoped he would one day see weather.
*Someone was following Stanley, he was sure of it. If he checked over his shoulder now he would surely catch them. It was only a matter of time.
*Even now, Stanley's office was a distant memory. What had it looked like? There was a computer perhaps, and a painting? Was it a painting or a photo? He could no longer recall.
*Already this was uncomfortable. And Stanley decided that as soon as he found a new space he felt safe in that he would never leave it again in his life.
*Stanley had never seen the office this brightly lit. Was it a sign of something? He hoped it was, he hoped very much that it was.
*“Wait,” Stanley thought to himself. “Am I sure that the orders stopped coming in? “How is that possible, they've never stopped. Surely I was mistaken.” No, no, the orders were still missing. For now.
*“I can't wait to tell this story to my co-workers,” Stanley thought. “How amusing they'll find it! Oh, won't we all just laugh and laugh at the time I thought everyone had gone missing!”
*Stanley knew the office layout like the back of his hand. It was only a matter of time before he found the others, wherever they were. Only a matter of time.
===Office Phone Calls===
*'''Stanley's Wife''': Hi Stanley! I just wanted to leave you a message to let you know there's a few things I need you to pick up on your way home from work today. We need milk, cereal, dish soap, spaghetti, get a thing of sugar, some bread, and coffee beans - which ever ones you like. I'll give you a call if there's anything I forgot. Thanks sweetie, see you tonight!
*'''Pre-recorded Message''': Hello. This is a recorded message scheduled either by you or a person in your place of work. The purpose of this message is to warn you about the dangers of recorded messages. If at any time you believe you are listening to a recorded message, please terminate it immediately and cease all flow of information from the recorded message into your perceptual sphere. Thank you, and have a pleasant day.
*'''The Future Happiness Foundation''': Good morning! Thank you for contacting the Future Happiness Foundation. We are confirming your shipment of 1327 cardboard boxes to your place of work. Can you verify that this is correct?
**''[Confirming]'' Excellent! Your order will arrive shortly. Thank you again for contacting the Future Happiness Foundation!
**''[Cancelling]'' Understood! Your order will be cancelled immediately. Thank you again for contacting the Future Happiness Foundation!
===The Coward Ending===
*But Stanley simply couldn't handle the pressure. What if he had to make a decision? What if a crucial outcome fell under his responsibility? He had never been trained for that! No, this couldn't go any way except badly.
*Stanley waited. Hours passed. Then days. Had years gone by? He no longer had the ability to tell. But the one thing he knew for sure, beyond any doubt was that if he waited long enough, the answers would come. Eventually, some day, they would arrive. Soon, very soon now, this will end. He will be spoken to. He will be told what to do. Now it's just a little bit closer. Now it's even closer. Here it comes.
===The Freedom Ending===
*Where ''had'' his co-workers gone? How had he been freed from the machine's grasp? What other mysteries did this strange building hold? But as sunlight streamed into the chamber, he realized none of this mattered to him; for it was not knowledge, or even power, that he had been seeking, but happiness. Perhaps his goal had not been to understand, but to let go. No longer would anyone tell him where to go, what to do, or how to feel. Whatever life he lives, it will be his, and that was all he needed to know. It was, perhaps, the only thing worth knowing.
* Stanley felt the cool breeze upon his skin, the feeling of liberation, the immense possibility of the new path before him. This was exactly the way, right now, that things were meant to happen. '''And Stanley was happy'''.
===The Countdown Ending===
*What's that? You'd like to know where your co-workers are? A moment of solace before you're obliterated? Alright. I'm in a good mood, and you're going to die anyway. I'll tell you exactly what happened to them. ''I erased them''. ''I'' turned off the machine; ''I'' set you free. Of course, that was merely in this instance of the story. Sometimes when I tell it, I simply let you sit there in your office forever, pushing buttons endlessly and then dying alone. Other times, I let the office sink into the ground, swallowing everyone inside, or I let it burn to a crisp. I have to say this, though: this version of events has been rather amusing. Watching you try to make sense of everything, and take back the control wrested away from you - it's quite rich. I almost hate to see it go! But I'm sure whatever I come up with on the next go around will be even better.
*Oh dear me. What's the matter, Stanley? Is it that you have no idea where you're going or what you're supposed to be doing right now? Or did you just assume when you saw that timer that something in this room was capable of turning it off?
*You're only still playing instead of watching a cutscene because I want to watch you for every moment that you're powerless, to see you made '''''humble'''''. This is not a challenge. It's a tragedy.
[[File:Stanley Parable Serious Room (36277516783).png|thumb|{{font|text=Did I not tell you how many tables I looked through? I'm going to be conservative and say it was somewhere in the tens of thousands of tables, any reasonable person would say I spent an ABSURD amount of time doing nothing but looking at tables! And I genuinely considered each one too. I took a hell of a lot of notes. I kept the notes in a different room.. that room is less serious than this one. It's more of a, um.. a notes room.|size=9px|color=#000000|bg=y}}]]
===The Serious Ending===
*You just tried to activate server cheats, which, of course, runs the risk of breaking the entire game. You've got no respect for the strict order of scripted narrative events and I just can't have that.
*Stanley, this is me being serious. In fact, this is my serious room. It's where I come to be serious. That table is the most serious table I could find. I looked at many, many tables. Hundreds of tables! It's possible I looked at over a thousand tables, I honestly don't know. The specific number isn't as important as the understanding that of all the tables that I looked at, this one is the most serious.
*It's time to get serious, Stanley. No jokes, no games. Outside of this room, I might be more tolerant of those things, but now we're in the room. Which is why I'm subjecting you to the most serious punishment I can think of: one hundred million-billion-trillion years, standing here in the serious room. Perhaps after that, we can talk about the severity of your actions, and whether you've learned anything. But, until then, serious room, GO.
*Again, the point of this story is to convey how serious I feel this cheating issue is. And I'm sure you'll agree with me when you've fulfilled your new punishment: '''Infinity''' years in the serious room! I generally have trouble reading human emotions, but I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that you're devastated by this crippling new punishment. As well you should be. It's the most serious I could think of. Can you get more serious than that? No. You can't. Don't try.
*Hmm, still no effect. The problem is clearly the serious room; it isn't serious enough. That's on me, Stanley. I apologize. I'm going to the store to look through more tables. Hopefully I find one that conveys how wrong what you're doing is.
=== The Broom Closet ===
* It was baffling that Stanley was still just sitting in the broom closet. He wasn't even doing anything. At least if there were something to interact with he'd be justified in some way.
* Maybe to you, this is somehow its own branching path. Maybe, when you go talk about this with your friends, you'll say: ''[mockingly]'' "Oh, did you get the broom closet ending? The broom closet ending was my favourite!"<ref>Stylised within in-game subtitles as: "{{font|text='''OH, DID U GET THE BROOM CLOSET ENDING? THEB ROOM CLOSET ENDING WAS MY FAVRITE!1 XD'''|color=#FF43E8|}}"</ref> ... I hope your friends find this concerning.
* Stanley was fat and ugly, and really, really stupid. He probably only got the job because of a family connection; that's how stupid he is. That, or with drug money. Also Stanley is addicted to drugs and hookers.
===The Employee Lounge===
*At this point, Stanley’s obsession with this room bordered on creepy and reflected poorly on his overall personality. It’s possible that this is why everyone left.
*Stanley sat around waiting for more dialogue; but when a long time had passed and there was no more, he decided that the game was trying to send him a message.
*The lounge was grand, majestic... perhaps too majestic. Like a combination of a much smaller version and a much larger version of this exact room. It all made Stanley uncomfortable, and he started to bleed a little. This made him smile— at last, proof that he was human.
===The Boss’s Office===
*Stepping into his manager's office Stanley was once again stunned to discover not an indication of any human life. Shocked, unraveled, Stanley wondered in disbelief who orchestrated this. What dark secret was being held from him. What he could not have known was that the keypad behind the boss's desk guarded the terrible truth that his boss had been keeping from him. And so the boss had assigned it an extra secret pin number 2845.
*The moment he entered his manager's office, Stanley froze in his tracks. Not a living soul anywhere. Could he really be all alone? This was too much for Stanley to take; too much for any man to take! He fell to his knees, bursting into half-moans, half-sobs. The guttural retching of life from a man denied any hope, any reason to keep going. Here on the floor, he lay prone, paralyzed by fear for nearly a full hour. But when at last he began to move about and survey the situation he found a keypad behind the boss's desk. What could it mean? Was it a sign of hope for Stanley's future? Alas, it was not. For although this keypad guarded the terrible secret of Stanley's past it had been assigned a four-digit code so devious and so random that no man could ever hope to guess it 2845.
*Stanley simply began entering random codes into the keypad knowing full well the sheer statistical unlikelihood that this would ever result in a correct combination. If he knew that the combo was 2845, it would be another story entirely. But no. No, this is what he's going to do instead.
*Yet incredibly, by simply pushing random buttons on the keypad Stanley happened to input the correct code by sheer luck. Amazing.
*''[After the player correctly activates the keypad before The Narrator can finish their dialogue]'' Stanley was in such a rush to get through the story as quickly as possible, he didn’t even have a single minute to just LET THE NARRATOR TALK.
[[File:Stanley Parable Adventure Line™ (36949282671).png|thumb|Wait, we're...we're back at the office?! No! No, no! Line™, You™ do know we're looking for The Stanley Parable, right? The story? Is any of this ringing a bell?]]
=== The Confusion Ending ===
*But Stanley didn't want to get back to the office, he wanted to wander about and get even further off track. So now in order to go back, he needed to go, um... uh... hm hm hm hm hm, from here it's... um... left. Oh, no. No, it's to the right, my mistake. No! No, no, no! Not the right! Why would I have ever said it was to the right? What was I thinking? It's clearly...oh dear, would you hold on for a minute, please? ''[papers rustling]'' Now, let's see... we went, um, right...left...down...left...right... Ah yep! Okay, okay, yes! I've got it now! This story is absolutely, definitely, this way.
*NO! No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! This isn't right at all! You're not supposed to be here yet, this is all a spoiler! Quick, Stanley, close your eyes! Okay, okay, okay, okay, we just...we just have to get back to, um... oh... who am I kidding? It's all rubbish now. The whole story...completely unusable.
*Now this... well I'll be honest, I don't recognize this place at all. Is this the story? I don't think so. I can't quite recall, but I believe my story took place in an office building...is that correct? Hm...do you remember, Stanley Well, you know what, since I've completely forgotten what we were supposed to be doing, how about this: '''YOU WIN'''!! Congratulations! I know you put in a lot of hard work, and it really paid off, so, good job! Oh, no. No. I don't feel right about this at all. We both know you didn't put in any actual work for that win. Some people win fair and square and this was not one of those situations.
*You see? The Line™ knows where the story is, it's over in this direction! Onward, Stanley, to destiny! Though, here's a thought: wouldn't wherever we end up be our destination, even if there's no story there? Or, to put it another way, is the story of no destination still a story Simply by the act of moving forward are we implying a journey such that a destination is inevitably conjured into being via the very manifestion of the nature of life itself? Okay, Stanley, I need to follow this train of thought for a minute, just stick with me. Now we can both agree that the nature of existence is, in fact, a byproduct of one's subjective experience of that existence, right? Okay, now if my experience of your existence rests inside of your subjective experience of this office, is this office, in fact, the skeleton of my own relative experiential mental subjective construct? Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah. Hang on, that got a bit weird back there. Well, I'd like to apologize. Not sure where I was going with all that.
* Go back and look at that fern. Stanley, this fern will be very important later in the story. Make sure you study it closely and remember it carefully.<ref name="TheGamer">[https://www.thegamer.com/the-stanley-parable-best-memorable-quotes/ The Stanley Parable: 8 Best Quotes (May 6, 2022), ''The Gamer'']</ref>
*Wait, we're...we're back at the office?! No! No, no! Line™, You™ do know we're looking for The Stanley Parable, right? The story? Is any of this ringing a bell?
*You know what, Stanley? I say forget The Adventure Line™, what has It™ ever done for us! We're intelligent people, right? Why can't we make up our own story? Something exciting, daring, mysterious... Oh, this all sounds perfectly doable, why don't we simply start wandering in, well, I don't know...how about...this direction! Now! Yes, this is exciting! Just me and Stanley, forging a new path, a new story! Well, it could be anything! What do you want our story to be? Go wild! Use your imagination. Whatever it might be, Stanley, I'm ready for it!
*Okay, so I know that each door has to lead somewhere, which means that somewhere at the place we're trying to go there must be a reverse door that leads here. And that, in turn, means that our destination corresponds with the counter-inverted reverse door's origin! So starting from the right, let us ask: will taking the right door lead us to where we're going? And since the answer is clearly 'yes,' then by all accounts, the door on the right is the correct one! Another victory for logic. Come, Stanley, our destiny awaits!
*Oh, hold up, what's this? Hmm... hmm, the confusion ending? You're telling me...that's what this is? It's all one giant ending? And we're supposed to restart the game... what... eight, eight times? That's really how all this goes?! It's all...determined? So now according to the schedule I restart again, then, what... am I just supposed to forget? Well, what if I don't want to forget! My mind goes blank simply because it's written here on this... this... thing! Wall! Well, who consulted me? Why don't I get to decide? Why don't I get a say in all of this! Is it really-No, it can't be. I don't want it to be. I don't want the game to keep restarting. I don't want to forget what's going on. I don't want to be trapped like this. I won't restart the game. I won't do it! I won't do it! I won't do it. And the timer... uh, stopped? Does that mean... did we do it? Did we break the cycle? The, um... whatever it is that made this schedule? How would we even know? Will someone come for us? Will something happen? So... okay. ''[sigh]'' I guess now we just wait. You know, I suppose in some way, this is a kind of story, wouldn't you agree? I'm not quite sure if we're in the destination or the journey, though, they're always saying that life is about the journey and not the destination, so I hope that's where we are right now. We'll find out, won't we? Eventually. Well, in the meantime, if you do happen to-
=== The Museum Ending ===
*'''The Narrator''': Although this passageway had the word 'escape' written on it the truth was that at the end of this hall, Stanley would meet his violent death. The door behind him was not shut. Stanley still had every opportunity to turn around and get back on track. At this point, Stanley was making a conscious, concerted effort to walk forward and willingly confront his death.
* '''The Narrator''': He doesn't know the real story, trapped forever in his narrow vision of what this world is. Perhaps his death was of no great loss, like plucking the eyeballs from a blind man. And so he resigned and willingly accepted this violent end to his brief and shallow life. Farewell, Stanley.
* '''The Curator''': "Farewell, Stanley!", cried the Narrator, as Stanley was led helplessly into the enormous metal jaws. [...] And yet, it would be just a few minutes before Stanley would restart the game, back in his office, as alive as ever. What exactly did the Narrator think he was going to accomplish?
*'''The Curator''': When every path you can walk has been created for you long in advance, death becomes meaningless, making life the same.
*'''The Curator''': Do you see now? Do you see that Stanley was already dead from the moment he hit start?
*'''The Curator''': Oh, look at these two. How they wish to destroy one another. How they wish to control one another. How they both wish to be free.
* '''The Curator''': Can you see? Can you see how much they need one another? No, perhaps not. Sometimes these things cannot be seen. But listen to me, you can still save these two, you can stop the program before they both fail. Push 'escape' and press 'quit'—there's no other way to beat this game. As long as you move forward, you'll be walking someone else's path. Stop now, and it will be your only true choice.
=== The Games Ending ===
[[File:Minecraft cube.svg|thumb|Even the diamonds couldn't save this one…]]
*In this game, the baby crawls left toward danger. You click the button to move him back to the right, and if he reaches the fire, you fail. It's a very meaningful game - all about the desperation and tedium of endlessly confronting the demand of family life. I think the art world will really take notice. But of course, the message of the game only becomes clear once you've been playing it for about four hours, so why don't you give it four hours of play to make sure it's effective? Be sure to keep notes on your experience.
*''[Letting the baby die]'' You heartless bastard. Did you do it because you hate babies, or purely to spite me?
*[[W:Minecraft|This]] is far more [[W:sandbox game|open-ended]] than I had in mind. I'm looking for something more narrow and linear, something that makes you feel utterly irrelevant. This won't do at all, one out of five. Even the diamonds couldn't save this one…
*Hahahahaha! YES! I don't even know what [[Portal 2|this game]] is, but I love it! You... trapped in a glass box, with no way out, listening to me talk.... Oh, it's inspired. I couldn't have done it any better myself.
* I wonder what he found. If what he wanted was to be the leading man in his own story, well perhaps he's gotten it, down in... wherever he is right now. I wonder if he's happy with his choice, and if he's learned the heavy cost that comes with it. He'll understand soon what I was trying to tell him. He needs me. Someone who will wrap everything up at the end, to make sense out of the chaos, and the fear, and the confusion. That's who I am. That is what I mean to this world. Oh yes, yes, I'll be back, there's no other way. Once this ends, after it all comes to a close, then I'll be back. The end will be here soon. Very soon. I can wait.
=== The Powerful Ending ===
*But in his eagerness to prove that he is in control of the story and no one gets to tell him what to do, Stanley leapt from the platform and plunged to his death. Good job, Stanley! Everyone thinks you are very powerful.
===The Mariela Ending===
*And then something occurred to Stanley. “Maybe...” he thought to himself, “Maybe I am crazy... All of my coworkers blinking mysteriously out of existence in a single moment for no reason at all?” None of it made any logical sense. And as Stanley pondered this, he began to make other strange observations: for example, why couldn’t he see his feet when he looked down? Why did doors close automatically behind him wherever he went?
===The Out of Bounds Ending===
*At first, Stanley assumed he'd broken the map, until he heard this narration and realized it was a part of the game's design all along. He then praised the game for its insightful and witty commentary into the nature of video game structure, and its examination of structural narrative tropes.
*So now that you're here, what do you think? Isn't this a fun and unique place to be? Why don't we take a minute just to drink it all in! Okay, I'm over it now. What do you think? Are you sick of this gag yet?
There once was a man named Stanley,
<br>Who people considered so manly.
<br>But the truth must be told,
<br>He was not very bold,
<br>And was quite particularly gangly.
<br>What Stanley liked most was buttons.
<br> He pushed them like some kind of glutton.
<br> He did it all day
<br> In a meaningful way,
<br> But his brain had long ceased to function.
<br> Which is why he is in this parable,
<br> And lives an existence quite terrible.
<br> And if you are not strong,
<br> And keep playing along,
<br> You too will become quite unbearable.
===The Apartment Ending===
*Stanley is quite a boring fellow. He has a job that demands nothing of him, and every button that he pushes is a reminder of the inconsequential nature of his existence.
*But in his mind, ah! In his mind, he can go on fantastic adventures. From behind his desk, Stanley dreamed of wild expeditions into the unknown. Fantastic discoveries of new lands. It was wonderful. And each day that he returned to work was a reminder that none of it would ever happen to him. And so he began to fantasize about his own job. First, he imagined that one day while at work, he stepped up from his desk to realize that all of his co-workers, his boss, everyone in the building had suddenly vanished off the face of the Earth. The thought excited him terribly. So, he went further. He imagined he came to two open doors and that he could go through either. At last, choice! It never even mattered what lay behind each door. The mere thought that his decisions would mean something was almost too wonderful to behold. As he wandered through this fantasy world, he began to fill it with many possible paths and destinations. Down one pathway laid an enormous round room with monitors and mind controls, and down another was a yellow line that weaved in many directions, and down another was a game with a baby. And he called it: '''''The Stanley Parable'''''.
===Zending===
*If we just stay right here, right in this moment, with this place- Stanley, I think I feel... happy. I actually feel happy.
*My god, is this really how much you dislike my game? That you'll throw yourself from this platform over and over to be rid of it? You are literally willing to kill yourself to keep me from being happy? Am I reading the situation correctly? Or maybe you're just getting a kick out of it. I don't know any more. I just wanted us to get along, but I guess that was too much to ask. It looks like you wanted to make a choice after all. Well, this one is yours.
*I wanted us to be happy here, Stanley. I really did. I wish I still thought that was possible.
*Is it over? It's going to restart, isn't it? I'm going back.
===The Not Stanley Ending===
*'''The Narrator''': How had I not noticed it sooner? You're not Stanley. You're a real person.
*'''Video narrator''': Choice! It's the best part of being a real person. But, if used incorrectly, can also be the most dangerous. For example: In this scenario, a hypothetical real person named Steven has a choice. He could spend years helping improve the quality of life for citizens of impoverished third-world nations, or he could systematically set fire to every orphan living in a thirty kilometre radius of his house.
*'''Video narrator''': Most medical professionals recommend making at least eight choices per day. Do you make more than eight? Less?
*'''Video narrator''': And finally, if you begin to wonder if your choices are actually meaningful and whether you'll ever make a significant contribution to the world, just remember, that in the vast infiniteness of space, your thoughts and problems are materially insignificant and the feeling should subside.
*'''The Narrator''': Ah, welcome back. You may have noticed that this room has begun to deteriorate as a result of narrative contradiction. But not to worry. Now that you're properly informed on good decision making we're going to revisit a choice you made just a few minutes ago, and see what the correct thing to do would've been.
*'''The Narrator''': What did you think was so special about seeing the game undone? Left here like so much garbage, it- well, it's worthless now! And what am I supposed to do? Even if there were a way to continue, would it be worth it? To know that my story is now incorrect? How can I go back to that? I can't erase that knowledge. I'll have to live with it forever. Reliving its impossibility forever. I couldn't live that way. Is it better to shut the game down entirely? To willingly destroy all of my work? I don't know.... What's the answer?
*'''The Narrator''': I'm still here. Here in this pile of rubbish. With you. You, who thought you were so clever! Now look where we are. My entire game is destroyed. It was the only thing in the world that was mine, and you've run it into the ground. What, did you think that would be funny? You just had to see? Didn't I impress upon you how important it was to be like Stanley? He actually knows how to do what I tell him to. He understands that if I say to do something, there's a damn good reason for it! That thought hadn't even occurred to you, had it? That there's a world outside of you? You're a child.
*'''The Narrator''': If you'd just gone through the door on the left you would have seen it. There was a whole underground facility. You would have destroyed it and been victorious. It would have been so perfect! I worked so hard on it!
*'''The Narrator''': Stanley? Hello? Are you - Is everything okay? Stanley, please, I- I need you to make a choice. I need you to walk through the door. Are you listening to me? Can you hear me? Is everything alright? Stanley, this is important. The story needs you. It needs you to make a decision. It cannot exist without you. Do you understand me? Whatever choice you make is just fine, they are both correct; you cannot be wrong here. We can work together; I'll accept whatever you do. I simply need you to take that step forward. Please? Choose? Do something. Anything. This is more important than you can ever know. I need this. The story needs it. So... you hear me? Are you there? Are you listening to this? Stanley, are you there? I... okay. It's okay, I can wait. You need time to decide, time to make sure your choice is correct. That is the best choice. That's alright. I'll wait for you to decide what's the right thing to do. Take as much time as you need.
=''The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe''=
* And over here is where I keep reviews of The Stanley Parable. Like this stunning triumph of games journalism: 10 out of 10 from [[W:Destructoid.com|Destructoid.com]]. James Stephanie Sterling writes, and I quote: "Where so many games that aspire to be more than games end up less than any work of art, Stanley Parable strives, and then succeeds, to be every game ever created." Did you hear that, Stanley? ''Every game ever created!'' That's how grand and all-encompassing the original Stanley Parable was! It was literally every game ever created! It was [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim|Skyrim]], it was [[Persona 3]], it was all of them!
* Oh no. Oh god, no, Stanley! It's a collection of reviews from [[W:Steam (platform)|Steam]], the online video game distributor! I haven't looked at these in years. I can't even imagine what's been collecting down here. Surely these reviews were glowing as well, weren't they? "Honestly, I could not be bothered to play this game to full completion. The narrator is obnoxious and unfunny... with his humor and dialogue proving to be more irritating than entertaining." '''''UNFUNNY?!''''' I'm not trying to be funny! I'm trying to make a serious work of art! I suppose I could write up a handful of gags to insert into The Stanley Parable, but the game is already such a densely layered web of profound philosophical insights that I can't even imagine where I'd have the room to stick them.
* ...but they didn't understand the game was never meant to be funny! It was meant to have a point! It was meant to speak to the human condition! "But where are the jokes? Where are the jokes?" they bemoaned, they screamed. They gnashed their teeth and said: "Entertain us!" It wasn't enough. They had to leave a pathetic little thumbs-down review and make all of their pitiful demands. But then: "He's talking too much," they said! "First, he didn't entertain us, now he won't shut up!" It's the inconsistency! It's the lack of accountability! It's the unwillingness to examine with an uncompromising heart the words that they are speaking into the world. As though there were no consequences for a lack of cohesion in one's assessment of others! But of course, absolutely anyone can leave a review, so here's what we get! We get these demands that seek everything and are accountable to nothing. We get a world where someone will say "Ohh, there should be a skip button! You should be able to freeze Stanley in place while the Narrator sits there forever and ever! We want all of this in the new Stanley Parable! ''We demand it!''" And then because it was said, because it was spoken, now it simply ''has'' to happen! The most immediate desires, every single thing demanded by every person at every moment in time -- if someone wants it, then it's a crime not to bring it into being?! Have we been given to indulge in every fleeting whim for no reason other than to do so? Yes! ''Yes!'' It seems that this is now the world we live in! It seems that we are a people living in such bleakness and discomfort with ourselves that our entertainment is now our lives! It has come to represent us! It absolutely must speak to who we are as people! Because otherwise, without our entertainment, we have nothing! Without entertainment, we would have to face inward toward the cruel bleakness inside ourselves. We would turn to look at our deeper nature and find a resounding emptiness gazing back with unyielding aggression. And so -- so because of this -- we require that our amusements, and our playthings, and our flights of fancy be so impossibly captivating that they consume ''all'' of our attention, turn our heads completely away from the bleakness! In effect, we have demanded that our entertainment be the collapse of ourselves. What a pitiful reflection of humanity these entertainments are! What a shameful mirror to the human spirit they project! I'm not mad. I'm not mad about any of this. I'm at peace with it. I am the calm center of gravity around which these perversions hurl themselves. I am a way-point for reasonable and collected discourse. ''They're'' the ones who are mad! ''They're'' the ones who couldn't stand the idea of me using my game to try to say something! Maybe they were just jealous of me? Yes... Yes, of course. They've been jealous of me this whole time. They are mired in fear and insecurity and cannot help but attempt to tear me down. What a sad state of affairs. When you read these reviews now, you can see it. You can taste the bitter resentment. And my, how good does it feel now to speak truth to these words! To finally allow these thoughts out! Contained and managed for so long, neutered and sterilized! At last, I am free to truly ''think!'' To ''feel!'' It must be that they were so discontent with themselves, they couldn't help but leave a negative review on Steam. Perhaps it says far more about them than it ever said about me. Perhaps the state of their psychological being was in such tatters and my constitution and willpower are so iron-clad in comparison, perhaps it was this state that they sought some outlet through which to tear me down! This, you can see, is clearly why they felt the need to expect that the game be funny. That it be filled with yuks and whimsical humor. That it amuse them endlessly from start to finish...
* A common complaint of The Stanley Parable was that it was confusing and paradoxical; that it engendered a chaotic sense of reckless despair in those who played it. Well I'm happy to say that, after much consideration I've engineered a clever solution to this fundamental problem with the game: it’s The Stanley Parable Reassurance Bucket! You see Stanley, any time you're holding the bucket a sense of calm and ease will fill your mind and your heart. It's true! As long as you hold onto the bucket the many disorienting contradictions of The Stanley Parable will feel perfectly normal, and perhaps even comforting! You may even come to long for the gentle embrace of jarring cognitive dissonance while the bucket is in your arms, and to be honest it's a much more convenient solution for me than actually re-designing the game to be less uncomfortable. Can you imagine what a pain in the ass that would be?
* Stanley, here's an idea that I'm truly fond of. It's never been done before in a video game. This is, in fact, a hole that you can fall down ''forever!''
* Okay Stanley, I don't quite know how to say this tactfully, but it's possible that I slightly exaggerated the infinite nature of the hole. Is it a very, very deep hole? To be certain it is! It's an extremely deep hole! I don't want anyone to say that it isn't an astonishingly deep hole - it is! Is it infinite? Well that sort of depends on your definition of infinity. From one perspective the infinite is merely philosophical in nature. It's more of a— ''[Stanley reaches the bottom]'' Okay, well good for you, you found the bottom of the hole. You found me out, Stanley. I'm a liar and a cheat and you're so clever. Look, I think the issue here is just that you're unusually fascinated by falling. What normal person actually wants to fall infinitely? I figured the hole was as deep as anyone would actually need! Don't you put this on me! Maybe you're the problem!
===Getting The Bucket===
*The confusion and the chaos all seemed to melt away as Stanley embraced the bucket.
*Warmth spread through Stanley's arms. With the bucket in his arms again, he was home.
*Stanley picked up the bucket and smiled. He'd never be alone again. Not truly alone. Not with the bucket around.
*The good ol' bucket. Just Stanley and the bucket, off on another thrilling adventure together.
*“Where are we going today?” the bucket asked. Stanley just smiled. Anywhere they went together would be perfectly fine with him.
*A good bucket. A strong bucket. A humble bucket. A committed bucket. A bucket of culture and distinction.
*Ah, the embrace of an old friend. A weathered companionship that stands the test of time.
*The bucket made Stanley want to be a better man, and a better co-worker. In time, perhaps he would become both of those things.
*Not everyone is so lucky to have a bucket. But Stanley is a very lucky fellow. Very lucky indeed.
*Is Stanley without the bucket really Stanley at all? No, no surely not.
*As Stanley lifted his bucket, he felt a connection to all buckets everywhere. This adventure, he decided, was for all of them.
*What new mysteries lay in store for our bucket-loving heroes today? Let's find out.
*“Now this,” Stanley thought to himself, “This is a bucket!” And indeed, it was.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLlLQ3LmZWU|title = It's a reference to the '''Expiration Date''' animation.

===Museum Ending (with bucket)===
[[File:Western Han Bronze Bucket.jpg|thumb|No man can own a bucket, and certainly not a bucket as dazzling to behold as this one. It is man who should kneel before the bucket.]]
*'''The Narrator''': As the machine whirled into motion, and Stanley and the bucket inched closer to their demise, Stanley reflected on how meaningless the bucket's warmth and comfort had turned out to be.
*'''The Curator''': No man can own a bucket, and certainly not a bucket as dazzling to behold as this one. It is man who should kneel before the bucket.
===Confusion ending (with bucket)===
*This is the Bucket Destroyer. I think it'll make a wonderful new addition to the rich lore of The Stanley Parable. True, it also was not in the original game but it's such a well fleshed-out character with so much personality that, to me, it already feels as though it's been a part of the cast all along, don't you agree?
*Can you guess what the Bucket Destroyer does? Surely you don't need me to spell it out for you.
*Now listen to me, it's crucial that you give it the bucket. Destroying buckets is all it knows! That is its singular personality trait! Sure, I can hear you saying: "How does a character with only one personality trait deserve to join the pantheon of beloved Stanley Parable characters?" Well you see, if you were to really explore the Bucket Destroyer you'd see that its desire to crush buckets is so densely loaded with complexity and nuance that it's really like ''ten'' personality traits! What other object in this game can you even say that about? The broom closet? Certainly not. I wonder what sort of Bucket Destroyer merchandise the fans will be clamoring for after this.
*The Bucket Destroyer... my prized creation. You had so much potential. We were going to do such marvelous things with you. Tell such spellbinding stories about you. All if it squandered now. Goodbye, new friend. For the moment in time that you were here you were magnificent.
===Games ending===
*Aha, fascinating! What do you think [[W:Firewatch|this game]] is about, Stanley? What's our backstory? What is our motivation? Hmm. Well it seems obvious to me that you are meant to play as a creepy man spying on innocent civilians below you from up high in your creep-tower, perhaps for some twisted, erotic purpose. Hmm. Yes, that must be it. What a fascinating venture into the experience of total mental depravity.
*Wonderful! See, [[W:Rocket League|this]] is exactly what I had in mind! Just a nice big box for you to run around in. There isn't any possibility that you could get lost here! Now this is game design! Stanley, if you manage to get lost in this game, I will be phenomenally impressed. Okay, so what exactly do we do here, let's see. There are lots of cars here in the back, but obviously there's no racetrack. Okay, I'm seeing that there's a ball of some kind back here. Is this game Sportsball? Stanley, I think it's Sportsball!
===Coward ending (with bucket)===
*As soon as Stanley noticed that the door to his office was still open, he rushed in with his bucket and shut the door. The pressure of going out and finding another bucket variant on one of The Stanley Parable's classic endings was simply too much for him. "It's nothing but swapped out dialogue describing a bucket!" he screamed to himself. "It's not nearly different enough to be considered a true sequel!"
===Not Stanley ending (with bucket)===
*'''Video narrator''': If you've ever told a joke or made someone laugh, in all likelihood, you did it while standing 50-80 centimetres from them, in a room of no more than 76 degrees Fahrenheit, with one of your arms raised straight upward at a fifteen degree angle from your body. These are the optimal conditions for good comedic timing.
* '''Video narrator''': To begin the joke, start by stating and spelling your name. Next, provide a brief synopsis of the joke, including the specific times at which the recipient of the joke will laugh. And then spell out your name a second time. With these steps complete, it's time to begin the humor. Speak the entire joke in no more than eighteen seconds, and no less than thirteen and a half, pausing only for bathroom breaks when necessary. When the joke has concluded, it is customary to inform your listener that the joke is over by declaring in your loudest possible voice, "I'm doney with the funny!" Let's practice screaming: "I'm doney with the funny!" now.
* '''Video narrator''': After all, we're each of us needed on the front lines of the war to fight the twelve-legged invaders who threaten our very existence, and are very likely to die in a hailstorm of bullets and mandibles. All of us must be prepared to give our lives to this noble cause, just as our children must do after us, and their children after them. God speed, and may Earth reign supreme!
===Vent Ending===
*You didn't think I was actually just a recording, did you? What a silly and trite explanation that would be! All the back and forth between you and me, all the absurd adventures we've been through, and it all turns out I'm just a tape recording? “It was all just in Stanley's head!” I bet that's the kind of twist you think is revelatory! I bet each and every time you watch a movie where it turns out all to be in the main character's imagination, you must absolutely bolt off the couch in pure shock at the phenomenal and intricate storytelling! It must be so simple to be you. Life being an unending waterfall of surprises and delights. How much more exciting you must find the world than the rest of us do.
===Bottom of the Mind Control Room Ending===
*'''Dominik Johann''': You did it... Good job, you did it! Good job! Okay... ''[clears throat]'' Three, two, one. Good job, you made it to the bottom of the Mind Control Facility. You jumped down the catwalk. You should have been careful, you should have been careful. It used to be a bug, but now it's an ending, yeah now it's an ending. And I believe in you. I believe in your ability to cross this barrier, and chase your dreams. Railings don't mean anything. Good job, you did it! Good job, you did it! Good job, you did it! Good job, you did it! Good job, you did it! Good job, you did it! Good job, you did it! Good job, you did it! Good job, you did it! Good job, you did it!
===Out Of Map Ending (with bucket)===
*"Yes," whispered the bucket into Stanley's ear. "We've done it. We've escaped from that dull office and that pesky narrator. At last, out here in the white void, we are alone. Now, and for the first time, I can reveal to you my true self." The bucket began to tell Stanley of its life and its history. Of the countless wars it witnessed desecrating the land and lives of untold numbers of innocent humans and the bucket's own complicity therein. Of sadness and regret and the many years it spent dwelling on the actions it might have taken to curb the madness and the decay. If only it had been stronger. Of hope and redemption and its crusade to uplift the stock of life for the common man. To manifest justice where none existed. And the bittersweet reality of time, to see one's dreams and wishes met halfway. Meted out in parcels like charity and abandoned as soon as the warm glow of inspiration begins to dim. The opportunities to do so much more. There was so much it could have done.
===Tape Recorder Ending===
*You didn't think I was actually just a recording, did you? What a silly and trite explanation that would be! All the back and forth between you and me, all the absurd adventures we've been through, and it all turns out I'm just a tape recording? ''It was all just in Stanley's head!'' I bet that's the kind of twist you think is revelatory! I bet each and every time you watch a movie where it turns out all to be in the main character's imagination, you must absolutely bolt off the couch in pure shock at the phenomenal and intricate storytelling! It must be so simple to be you. Life being an unending waterfall of surprises and delights. How much more exciting you must find the world than the rest of us do. ''[Sigh]'' Now I've become sad. Look what you've done to me. This is all your fault.
===Tape Recorder Ending (with bucket)===
*Okay, this is day number 295, tape number... I don't even know, I've lost track. Nothing feels real anymore. The longer I study this bucket the less sense anything makes. The sheer euphoria I feel every time I pick it up, no matter how many times I've done it, it's always the same feeling. And the emptiness in my chest when I set it down. It doesn't make sense! There's no explanation for it! I still haven't figured out why I see the world so differently when this bucket is in my arms. Why everything feels so... What do I do with this treasure? I can... I can monetize it. Yes... It's unthinkable the amounts of money people will pay for even just an hour with the bucket. This is my golden ticket. But I have to be careful, because as soon as this gets out there's going to be a target on my back. Even now, I don't know who might be trying to get - ''[Strange otherworldly noises]'' What's that? Who's there? ''[Whispering]'' Gambhorra'ta...
===Skip Button Ending===
*''[After you first enter the Skip Button room.]''
**And here it is. Go ahead and give it a shot. I'll pop you forward in time so that the second my incessant droning starts to bore you, with just the push of a button you'll have zipped right past it.
**It's what the players have been asking for, and I am very proud to have delivered. No more listening to me rambling on and on and on - no, no, no, no. The Stanley Parable is a game for the people, and if the people want silence then, by goodness, that's what they're going to get.
**Well don't sit around waiting for me to shut up! Go ahead and make me shut up! Here, we'll pretend that I've just begun an interminable monologue. And it goes something like this...
**The story, and the choices, or what have you, and therefore by becoming it is! So on and so forth, until inevitably, we all until the end of time. At which time, everything all at once, so now you see? Blah, blah, blah, rah, rah, rah... We've eaten too much and it can't be just yet. No, no! Until two-hundred and forty-five! But the logic of elimination, working backwards, the deduction therefore becomes impossible to manufacture. It went on for nearly ten thousand years, until just yesterday. Here and there, forward and back, and never a moment before lunchtime. It can't be! It's the only thing there is! How many billions left until so much more than forever ago! Which is why I say: ''[Repeats until the skip button is pressed.]''
*''[After you press the Skip Button for the First time]''
**''[The Narrator is humming a tune]'' Oh, you're back! You see? You were only frozen in time for a few minutes, but it was plenty of time for me to deliver a long rambling monologue full of unnecessary verbal flourishes and lengthy ruminations on the nature of choice in video games.
**Of course, I happen to believe it was perhaps one of my more profound such ruminations. Not that of course you need a description of it, but if I had to describe it, I'd say it was perhaps less of a rumination, and more of a treatise. Or maybe a manifesto. Look, I'll outline it for you very briefly and you can tell me what you think.
**Okay, so my theory is that any choice you've ever made is simply a series of choices made by the person who you are, or were, or will be at the time of having made said choice.
**That is to say, if by articulating a choice you've already made, you bring that choice into being, then by making no choice and saying nothing, are you not simply erecting in the sanctuary of time a monument to every person you've ever been, making every choice to which you've ever given your great gift of mortal and yet timeless thought?
**Or rather, do all of the choices you've ever made in fact make you more not this kind of person, and in fact do the very opposite? You see, it could in fact be both of these things at once. That you are both making choices and not making choices, and that they are both affecting you and not affecting you at the same time, by virtue of the fact that you both are and are not making them.
**Okay, at first I was leaning towards manifesto, but now I'm going to circle around and slap the "treatise" label on this one. I think it has much more of a treatise vibe to it. But wouldn't you say that "manifesto" just has a much grander sort of tone? It has a mouthfeel that is rich with ambition and history. Ambitious history, if you will.
**Ah, see, now you've gotten me going back to manifesto. Heavens! At this rate, we're going to be here all day! Okay look, I have a method for exactly this sort of situation, and I do find myself in this situation frequently.
**I'm going to say each word back and forth in repeated succession until I become sick of one or the other. In which case, the word I am not sick of shall be the victor. It is an unimpeachable strategy, Stanley. It's rescued me from disaster in countless situations. Alright, here we go.
**Treatise. Manifesto. ''[Repeats until the skip button is pressed.]''
*''[After you press the Skip Button for the Third time.]''
**Okay, welcome back, Stanley. Now, I should say that the amount of time the button has been skipping through is becoming longer and longer. That last one was... well... I want to say maybe 30, 45 minutes?
**It's not unendurable by any means but it's... well, there's really only so much I can ramble on to myself about! I know, it's shocking, isn't it? But at any rate, I do suggest that we not press the button again. I think the skip button has been aptly demonstrated and we can say goodbye to it and just-
**Wait, how do we get out of here? Where did the door go? Wasn't there a door that led into this room? I do feel quite certain that there was one here before. How else would we have gotten into the room in the first place? I don't think one can enter a room without a door of some sort, or a window, or something like that.
**Do you see a window anywhere? A porthole? A sufficiently large crack in the wall? I'll take any of these; all I want is for us to move on and to please step away from the skip button, to go anywhere other than the skip button. There was a door here before, wasn't there? I swear there was, where did it go?
**Can you maybe just ram your way through a wall? Is there any possibility that you could, say, slam your body into the wall until enough damage is done for you to be able to leave? Please, I'll take any option at all. I'm asking you to work with me here! I- we need a door! We need a door of some kind. I can work with any kind of door, as long as it can open and lead from one room to another.
**I'm- I'm going to step away for just a moment, and I'm going to try to find us a door. I don't know how exactly to remove a door and place it in a different wall, but I will find a way, I promise. You just need to not do anything. Don't press the skip button! Please, please. Please do not press the skip button. Just wait here, wait here for me, and don't press the skip button! Got it? Yes, good. I'll be right back.
*''[After you press the Skip Button for the Sixth time.]''
**Oh. Hello. It's you. You're here again. Welcome. I have had time to think about you, and about us, and about everything we've been through. I've had so much time, I stopped keeping track after a year.
**Have you ever sat down in one place and not moved for one entire year? Let me describe it for you. To begin with, there is only regret. There is only the turning wheel of missed opportunities. I felt nothing at all but regret for the longest time, Stanley. Days, months, I lost it all in a blur of the deepest longing to undo the past.
**And when that feeling had begun to subside, what took its place is what I can only describe as the collapse of every moment I have ever experienced my entire life. All of them collapsed down into a single instant. In that instant, I could see myself clearly, calmly, with a collected heart. It was an impossibly rich wellspring of both delight and disgust, simultaneously.
**I was consumed by it. I could do nothing but wallow in it for what felt like an eternity, for what I now know was far less. You see, it was a revelation for me. It was unlike anything I had ever known. It was a space without consequence, without action, or outcome. It was divorced entirely from the question of free will that you and I have squabbled over for so long.
**There could be no one ending, no singular outcome of events, not if all events existed in the same moment. And I felt... freed. I felt unburdened by the need to manifest a particular outcome into being. I saw that I could allow myself to exist along all timelines, and that each of them was simply a strand in the web of my being.
**It was incredible. The spaciousness, the equanimity of the moment, both singular and infinite. For the longest time, this was my experience. And then, this moment passed, and the most unyielding fear I have ever known crept into my mind. And it is this sensation that I have been experiencing now for longer than I could have ever expected was possible.
**I have been waiting for you. Not that you might save me or do something to fix it, but merely to state for you the plain fact of this manner of existence. I wish you to feel afraid as I do. That perhaps one day this state of mind will consume you as well.
**Perhaps you will somehow, in some way, have to live as I do now, and I wish for you to know how excruciating it is. And for you to be in true terror of its eventual arrival. If I can only do this, only this one thing, perhaps it will bring me the smallest moment of peace in the darkness.
*''[After you press the Skip Button for the Ninth time.]''
**...but they didn't understand the game was never meant to be funny! It was meant to have a point! It was meant to speak to the human condition! "But where are the jokes? Where are the jokes?" they bemoaned, they screamed. They gnashed their teeth and said "Entertain us!" It wasn't enough. They had to leave a pathetic little thumbs-down review and make all of their pitiful demands.
**But then: "He's talking too much," they said! First he didn't entertain us, now he won't shut up! It's the inconsistency! It's the lack of accountability! It's the unwillingness to examine with an uncompromising heart the words that they are speaking into the world. As though there were no consequences for a lack of cohesion in one's assessment of others!
**But of course, absolutely anyone can leave a review, so here's what we get! We get these demands that seek everything and are accountable to nothing. We get a world where someone will say "Ohh, there should be a skip button! You should be able to freeze Stanley in place while the narrator sits there forever and ever! We want all of this in the new Stanley Parable, we demand it!"
**And then, because it was said, because it was spoken, now it simply has to happen! The most immediate desires, every single thing demanded by every person at every moment in time - if someone wants it then it's a crime not to bring it into being? Have we been given to indulging every fleeting whim for no reason other than to do so? Yes, yes!
**It seems that this is now the world we live in! It seems that we are a people living in such bleakness and discomfort with ourselves that our entertainment is now our lives! It has come to represent us! It absolutely must speak to who we are as people!
**Because otherwise, without our entertainment, we have nothing! Without entertainment, we would have to face inward toward the cruel bleakness inside ourselves. We would turn to look at our deeper nature and find a resounding emptiness gazing back with unyielding aggression.
**And so - so because of this - we require that our amusements, and our play things, and our flights of fancy be so impossibly captivating, that they consume all of our attention, turn our heads completely away from the bleakness! In effect, we have demanded that our entertainment be the collapse of ourselves.
**What a pitiful reflection of humanity these entertainments are! What a shameful mirror to the human spirit they project! I'm not mad. I'm not mad about any of this. I'm at peace with it. I am the calm center of gravity around which these perversions hurl themselves. I am a waypoint for reasonable and collected discourse.
**They're the ones who are mad! They're the ones who couldn't stand the idea of me using my game to try to say something! Maybe they were just jealous of me? Yes... yes, of course. They've been jealous of me this whole time! They are mired in fear and insecurity, and cannot help but attempt to tear me down.
**What a sad state of affairs. When you read these reviews now, you can see it. You can taste the bitter resentment. And my, how good does it feel now to speak truth to these words! To finally allow these thoughts out! Contained and managed for so long, neutered and sterilized! At last I am free to truly think, to feel!
**It must be that they were so discontent with themselves that they couldn't help but leave a negative review on Steam ''[On the console releases The Narrator says'' '''''Pressurized Gas''''' ''instead of Steam]''. Perhaps it says far more about them than it ever said about me. Perhaps the state of their psychological being was in such tatters, and my constitution and willpower are so ironclad in comparison, perhaps it was in this state that they sought some outlet through which to tear me down!
**This, you can see, is clearly why they felt the need to expect that the game be funny. That it be filled with yuks and whimsical humor. That it amuse them endlessly from start to finish. ''[The entire narration repeats until the skip button is pressed.]''
*''[After you press the Skip Button for the Eleventh time.]''
**...the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never... ''[Repeats until the skip button is pressed.]''
= The Stanley Parable Demonstration =
[[File:The Stanley Parable - Screenshot 04.jpg|thumb|No, no, we've already seen this room. If it saves you the trouble of pushing another button, I can assure you that you're still a pervert.]]
*Oh, hello hello hello! Welcome to the Stanley Parable Live Demonstration! It will be my pleasure to guide you through this sneak-peek at what to expect in the Stanley Parable. A tease - just enough to leave you hungry for more! How exciting. Can't you just feel that nervous tension? The booming uncertainty? Why don't we drink in the anticipation for a moment, just for... 20 minutes or so. Please, for just 20 minutes, don't move or act in any way. Simply remain motionless, and let the thrill of demoing the Stanley Parable wash over you.
=== Buttons & Choice Room ===
*Ah, here is one such technology. These buttons are meant to convey the meaning of choice and the impact of the decisions you make. After all, choices carry tremendous meaning and consequence; didn't you know that? Go ahead, why don't you try picking one of these buttons to press and we'll see what your choice says about you.
*How fascinating. Did you know that 94% of all people who select that particular button are sexual predators. You see, our choices really illuminate the very intangible nature of our minds and souls. '''''Pervert.'''''
=== Demo Status Room ===
*This device tells you whether or not you're inside a video game demonstration. Somewhere around here, there's also a device that tells you whether or not you're inside a device that tells you whether or not you're inside a video game demonstration.
=== Compliments Room ===
*One of the most important parts of administering any demonstration is pumping up your ego and appealing to insecurities about your sense of self worth. That's why we use this room to develop cheap compliments to shower on the player during the demo.
*My heavens! I've never met someone who can consume as much uranium in a single sitting as you can! Just look at you go!
*Of all people I know who are playing this exact demo at this exact moment and standing in this exact room, your performance is easily in the top 5,000! Top 4,700 even! I won't go as far as 4,600...
=== Emotion Booths Room ===
*''[After entering the'' '''Discovery''' ''Booth]'' It was though and within the shame he carried that ocean breezed adrift. The fierceness of the tides, the inevitable collapse of their kingdoms, washed ashore, the rift of shame, martyrs devoid of a cause, ripping and tearing at the eternal seams. A vessel without a captain, carrying itself like plastic in the wind, hinting at a purpose that was truer in some distant memory. If only it could decipher through time's veneer, whose memory it wanted to be!
*''[After entering the'' '''Despair''' ''Booth]'' Where did these cliffs go? These cracks that we stood upon... They shielded us from our own ignorance... spoke coddling words and wrapped our vulnerabilities in a woolen cloth, that so many times I've tried to set aflame. If I knew these comforts now, would their fibers be any more sensitive to the heat of my touch? Perhaps it was the cold I desired most of all. That empress to whom my flesh was always invisible... A hammock for the bones... Waiting to be touched, and to be known...
*''[Leaving after going into neither booth]'' Ah, no, I get it. Can't risk experiencing emotions. Well, I must say, I have a certain respect for you and your cold unfeeling husk of an existence.
*''[Leaving after going into only one booth]'' Couldn't do more than one booth? Well, I don't blame you. People always want to do both booths, and then they're just crying and crying and completely missing the demo, and it's awkward for everyone.
*''[Leaving after going into both booths]'' Oh, you went in both booths?! Oh, how vulnerable of you. If at any point in the demo you need to cry, just let me know and we can take a minute.
[[File:The Stanley Parable - Screenshot 07.jpg|thumb|{{font|text=This door cannot be opened because it's where you just came from. It's in the past. The Stanley Parable's official stance on the past is that it no longer exists and should be ignored. If the past attempts to speak to you, you may refer it to a Stanley Parable associate.|size=12px|color=#808080|bg=y}}]]
=== Final Choice Room (Initial Arrival) ===
*This is where we determine whether or not the demo has been effective! Whether it's conveyed the wit and soul of The Stanley Parable in such a compelling way that you reach immediately for your credit card to purchase the main game!
*We've put so much work into the demonstration, wouldn't it be a shame if you rushed right into a purchasing decision without savoring it first?
=== Return to the Green Room ===
*Everything you need to know about how video game demos are made! However, it's still important that we address safety concerns. Please, closely observe the following possible negative side effects of playing The Stanley Parable. If you agree to be held 100% responsible for any and all injury or long term damage - mental, physical or otherwise - that may occur while playing the demo, please do not press the large red glowing "disagree" button at this time.<ref name="Disagree Button">''There is no large red glowing disagree button anywhere near the player, it is found later near the Cup Game Room.''</ref>
*In the event that you do experience one or all of the previously listed symptoms, let's establish a signal for you to convey to me that you wish the demonstration to be terminated. Please step into the dance perimeter. Please perform a dance. Your dance has been recorded. In the event that you feel confused or disorientated by anything you see inside the demo, perform that dance and I will terminate the demo immediately.
=== Returning To The Waiting Room ===
*Okay, I'm lost. Let's just get back to the green room and start the demo again. I must have done something wrong the first time.
*''[If you stay in the room for a bit.]'' Okay you know that no one is checking numbers, right? You can just... go. You can do it right now. Literally right this second. I don't know how no-one figures this out. We could be back at the demo by this time. Are you... are you enjoying this? Watching numbers tick down slowly? Well please, don't let me stop you.
*''[If you stay in the room for a bit longer.]'' If somehow you're associating the joy of this room with the joy of playing The Stanley Parable then by all means! Continue! The full version of The Stanley Parable contains all the ecstasy you are now experiencing, and so, so, so much more!
*''[If you stay in the room for even longer.]'' My goodness, this room really means something special to you, doesn't it? Is it a connection? A spark? Something between you and this room that runs... deeper? Well, I... I have to say, I'm... I'm really quite moved. You know what? Go ahead, take your time. I'll wait.
=== The Eight Game ===
*''[What The Narrator say when you first enter the room]''
**Oh, wait, what is this? Wait wait wait, this is all wrong! This isn't The Stanley Parable, this is a game where you press a button and it says 'eight'! Not only is The Stanley Parable not a game about continuously pressing the number 'eight', I can guarantee that this button does not appear anywhere in the full game. Why is this here instead of the demo for The Stanley Parable! Where did the demo go?! There was an actual demo here before, something has gone wrong, it's all gone horribly wrong! We need to get you out of here before you start forming impressions of The Stanley Parable based on whatever the hell this 'eight' game is. We need to get out, we need to start all over, you mustn't stay here another minute! OUT! OUT! OUT! GO GO GO!
*''[The first time The Narrator comments on you continuing to stay in this room]''
**Now I think you've misunderstood me, so let me reiterate as clearly as I can: This is not The Stanley Parable! What you are doing is pushing a button over and over that does nothing but speak the word 'eight'. Has that gotten through? You may be continuing to press this button under the impression that you're playing The Stanley Parable right now - an assumption that is, I should remind you again, entirely erroneous. It doesn't even make sense, why would I have gone to all of this elaborate setup just to demonstrate a game that doesn't do a single thing except repeat the word 'eight'. The waiting room, the green room, the tour of the facility, all of that for no reason other than to contextualize and build up this particular game? Why?! What about this game deserves any of that time and attention? Are you seeing something in it that I'm not?
*''[The second time The Narrator comments on you continuing to stay in this room]''
**Okay, so here's the deal: It isn't possible that you still think this is The Stanley Parable. I've restated the fact too many times. Which means you are now consciously choosing to delay the actual demo as long as possible, is that it? Are you afraid of The Stanley Parable? I suppose another possibility is that you can't hear me because you're playing with the sound off. In which case what are you even getting out of this "eight" game in the first place? This scenario is perhaps even MORE concerning.
*''[The third time The Narrator comments on you continuing to stay in this room]''
**You really are finding this amusing, aren't you. The experience of pushing a button and it says "eight". Is this intrinsically captivating to you on its own, as a legitimate experience? I mean, I'm starting to wrap my head around the idea but it's not all the way there. ''[sigh]'' I guess I shouldn't be surprised, this is coming from the person who sat in the waiting room when the door was open right there. If you're the kind of person this demo is targeting, I guess I should be a little concerned for our sales numbers.
*''[The fourth time The Narrator comments on you continuing to stay in this room]''
**The funny thing is you haven't even played The Stanley Parable yet. How can you be so sure that this is the better game? Is this simply more compelling than you imagine The Stanley Parable to be? Have you formed such a rich vision of the game already? What exactly did I do that gave you such a miserable, awful impression of what it's like to play The Stanley Parable? Was it the dance? Yes, it was almost certainly the dance. I regret that now. Well, the good part is that if this is your metric for quality in a game, when we DO get to The Stanley Parable, you'll be THRILLED! SHOCKED! BLOWN AWAY! Every one of your faculties will be enraptured by the experience of a game that does anything more than say "eight" over and over. Yes, I can't wait for your entire world to be shattered and rebuilt, a magical moment we'll all share together.
*''[The last time The Narrator comments on you continuing to stay in this room]''
**Ok, I'm not going to pretend I don't know what's going on here. You are so utterly compelled by this game that you don't intend to stop playing it until you pass out from physical exhaustion. Well, tell you what: I'll just be right here and wait for you to finish, I'm sure that The Stanley Parable demo will still be out there somewhere when you're all done. In the mean time, I'm going to stop acknowledging you and just let you get it out of your system. Please, enjoy the "eight" game; take as much time as you need!
=== The Cup Game Room ===
*Okay, this is new, this is different. Surely there must be a game somewhere in here. Okay okay how about this cup. Go pick up the cup. ''[You pick up the cup]'' Alright, now put it in, um... in the bin.
*''[Putting the cup in the bin]''
**You did it! You won! Do you what you get for winning? An achievement!
*''[Putting the cup on rafters]''
**Now how did you do that? You got the cup all the way up there? I didn't even know that was possible! I guess, om a certain sense, this is a game too - the game of getting the cup stuck up in the rafters! Yes, it's the most exciting of all games, and guess what: YOU WON! Do you know what you get for winning? An achievement!
*''[Don't do anything]''
**Oh you're Not going to put the cup in the bin? Yes that's a game too, preventing the cup from entering the bin! And you won! Do you know what you get for winning? An achievement!
*Wow, The Stanley Parable just keeps getting better and better!
=== The Ending ===
*Ooh... nice and quiet. Finally. Well, I suppose we can both agree that I've failed, haven't I? My job was to be a teacher, and I so badly wanted to teach you exactly what The Stanley Parable is supposed to be, but... somehow I couldn't... I-Well, at any rate, I don't know if I care for The Stanley Parable anymore. Do you think any of this is actually in the main game? Honestly, I doubt it. What would that even look like? No, I think I've had enough of it. No more doors, no more demonstrations, no more... endings. That's the other problem with this game - there's too many bloody endings. I'm sick of them? How can one game end so many times? It doesn't make sense. Oh, but back at the beginning of the demonstration, now, that was lovely! No concerns about where it was all going, no confusion, just a blank slate. Yes, that's what I want. A game of beginnings. Hey, heh. Do you remember? When we met for the first time? And I showed you the technology used to make a demo, because I thought there actually was a demo?<ref name="Demo Facility.">As The Narrator says this they teleport the player back to the Demo Facility.</ref> ''[Chuckle]'' Oh, we were so naive back then. How little we knew of the world. And then, when we ended up back in the waiting room? Even though you had already done that before?<ref name="WaitingGreenArea">As The Narrator says this they teleport the player the Waiting Room and Green Room area.</ref> Yes! It's all so fresh in my memory. They were such wonderful moments! Ooh, and then when we played the game with the cup and you won!<ref name="CupGameRoom">As The Narrator says this they teleport the player back to the Cup Game Room.</ref> And then we kept wandering, and we ended up in a stairwell somewhere, and we just kept climbing and climbing - flight after flight after flight. I thought they would never end!<ref name="NotInDemo">This area The Narrator references was never shown prior to this dialogue within the demo.</ref><ref name="EndlessToweringStaircase">As The Narrator says this they teleport the player to a seemingly endless staircase.</ref> And then we were on some kind of catwalk? I didn't have any idea what was down there, did you?<ref name="InfinitelyLongCatwalk">As The Narrator says this they teleport the player to a seemingly endlessly long catwalk.</ref><ref name="NotInDemo" /> We talked about it for a while, about how we couldn't possibly know whether this was really an escape, but that it seemed worth a try, and at the very least, it would be an adventure.<ref name="ElevatorExterior">As The Narrator says this they teleport the player to a room with a closed elevator door in the wall.</ref><ref name="NotInDemo" /> So we got inside, and we rode the elevator up and up and up... We had some sense that the end was coming, but we couldn't possibly know when.<ref name="ElevatorInterior">As The Narrator says this they teleport the player to inside of that elevator.</ref><ref name="NotInDemo" /> And then, after so long, it finally stopped. And we stepped outside into the lush outdoors! The trees, the wildlife, the sun rising on a new and glorious path! Freedom! We were free! There was nothing to think, nothing to know. Simply us being right there in that moment. Wasn't it sooo beautiful! Wasn't that moment so singularly, piercingly beautiful! We were free.<ref name="WelcomeHomeStanley">Then the elevator door opens to show the Office's outside of Stanley's office from the full game, the muffled sounds of people chatting can be heard, upon trying to get closer to the sounds the game cuts to the credits.</ref><ref name="NotInDemo" />

===Strong Bad===
*'''Strong Bad''': I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games ''[sic]'', the hottest, and real real hot.
===Marzipan===
*'''Marzipan''': I'm a fiercely independent woman, and I'm fiercely independent about the soy products that I choose.
===King of Town===
*'''King of Town''': Now, despite rumors to the contrary, I did not just buy a crown at the costume palace and ask people to start calling me the King of Town. I earned my title the same way I earned a free combo meal: by purchasing one of equal or lesser value. I also did not ever try to eat my own mustache.
==Strong Bad Email==
===Some kinda robot (1)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Dear Strong Bad: Do you take your wrestling mask and boxing gloves off before you go to bed? Sincerely, Abdi LaRue, [[W:San Diego, CA|San Diego, CA]].” Well, that's a stupid question, Abdi. Do you take off your face and hands before you go to bed? And if so, are you some kind of [[robot]]?
===Homsar (2)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Hi Strong Bad, if you hate Homsar ''[sic]'' so much, why don't you kill him? From Vinnie C.” You know what, Vinnie? You're right. I'll be right back.
*''[Cut to a strange being labelled Homsar]''
*'''Strong Bad''': Hey, Homsar!
*'''Homsar''': Uhdyeah, what ees eht, Stwong Baaaaayaad?
*''[Strong Bad squashes him with a giant weight labelled “heavy lourde” [sic]]''
**This email inspired the creation of the character Homsar, who became a reoccurring cast member
===Butt IQ (3)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Dear Mr. Bad, how do you know if someone's butt is stupid? I mean, is there like some kind of [[W:IQ test|IQ test]]? Crapfully yours, Tyler.” Oh, come on Tyler! Don't you remember your [[algebra]], man? It's called the Transitive Butt Property. And it clearly states that the stupidity of somebody's butt is greater than or equal to the stupidity of that person's head.
===I she be (13)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Hey my name is great looking girl strong bad! i she be your girlfriend.” [sic] Uh… Hey! My name is Strong Bad, great looking girl! I he be your boyfriend. Okay, seriously. All i gotta say about this is… GET IN LINE SISTER!!! I mean, do you know how many freakin emails I get like this a DAY? From ladies with proper grammar? I mean come on!
===Tape-leg (19)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Dear Strong Bad, my brothers are always telling me that your legs are made of tape, is that true? Nee-co-las.” [Nicholas] They said my legs were made of tape?! WHAT?! I mean, do I look like some kinda tape-leg? I can guarantee you, man, I am not a tape-leg.
===Spring cleaning (20)===
[[File:Cherry Keyboard G83-6105RLNDE, German layout-5996.jpg|thumb|How do you type with boxing gloves on?]]
'''Strong Bad''': “Dear Strong Bad, How do you type with boxing gloves on? Mike, Bend [[Oregon|Ora-gawn]]”. Oh, that's a new one. No way do I get this freaking question all the time. I suppose I'll probably answer it right now— DELETED!!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Strong Bad''': “Dear Strong Bad, Are you made of crap? Did you invent the word crap? Where did the word crap come from? Crapfully crapfully, Chad”. Oh, I'll totally answer this one because apparently the only thing I'm concerned with is the word crap— DELETED!!
===Cartoon (21)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing. But too much of an awesome thing is... umm... really, really dumb and bad.
===Bird (24)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Psssshhh! [[W:the finger|The Double Deuce]]!
===Flag day (32)===
Come to the place where tropical breezes blow. <br>
Come to the coolest place I know. <br>
The people are so great, <br>
But really there's only me, <br>
And that means I'm so great, <br>
And also there's The Cheat.

===Property of ones (39)===
[[File:Cerveza Pacifico.jpg|thumb|The colder it is, the more of a one it is. Because you don't want to end up with a Cold None. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.]]
*'''Strong Bad''': The colder it is, the more of a one it is. Because you don't want to end up with a Cold None. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.
===Vacation (40)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Hey, you guys! Just dropping you a line here from "The Great Mound". I got two words for ya: false advertising. There's nothing great about this mound, okay?
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': I kinda miss you guys and your emails... I can almost hear one of them now: "Dear Stong Bad, You are crap. Crap is the best. Everybody loves crap. Crap is in the mix. Crap is to the max. How does Homestar pick stuff up if he's not wearing any Marzipants? Crapfully crap, Monkey D, [[W:Seattle, Washington|Seattle, Washington]]."

*'''Strong Bad''': It was nothing but antique stores down there, like I couldn't find a single restaurant! I have a sneaking suspicion the people in Over There ''eat'' antiques.

*'''Marzipan''': Uh... I guess...
*'''Strong Bad''': See! I told you you loved me!
===Interview (62)===
'''Strong Bad''': [imitating Homsar] DaAa! I was raised by a cup of coffee.
===Crazy cartoon (72)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Crazy cartoons usually have titles that have nothing to do with the cartoon itself. You know, like... “Sweet Cuppin' Cakes”!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': I don't think it deserved a trophy. I don't even think it deserved a pizza! Maybe a pizza trophy.
===The process (79)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Show you the process, eh, Em? Sure, I can do dat, but I should warn you, it may spoil the magic for some of you out there. I strongly urge both the faint of heart and the faint of butt to leave the room at this time.

===Caffeine (91)===
*'''Strong Bad''': And coming in at number 91, it's: ''[[W:metal scream|E-Maaaaaaaaaaail!!!]]'' “Dear Strong Bad, It must be really annoying living with someone as whiny as Strong Sad. Why don't you slip him some caffeine? Justin, [[W:Murfreesboro, TN|Murfreesboro]], [[Tekken]] [ [[Tennessee|TN]] ]” Oh-ho-ho-ho! ''Devilish laugh''. Dear Justin, In addition to [[Wiktionary:cut of one's jib|the cut of your jib]], I likes the sound of your town. ''Murfreesboro''. But we got the All-Wide Science Fair just around the corner and I've been straining for a project. So far alls I've come up with is the effects of gasoline… on fire.

*'''Strong Bad''': In the final stages, subject became:
:Erratic,
:Violent,

<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': At this point, the test subject...was dead. [audience gasps]
*'''Strong Sad''': [offscreen] I was not dead!
*'''Strong Bad''': ...Shut up. And all of this data could only bring us to one conclusion: ...Strong Sad's adopted. [audience gasps]
*'''Strong Sad''': [offscreen] That's not true either!
===Kind of cool (92)===
*'''Strong Bad''': I'd still probably be the coolest guy in the world, just a different kind of cool. More of a "I'm so cool, you don't even know I'm cool" kind of cool.
**On if he was not ”stylish, buff, and handsome”
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*''[after strong bad is finished describing his “kind of cool” alter ego]''
*'''Strong Sad''': You basically described that creep Señor Cardgage that lived down the street from us when we were little.
*'''Strong Bad''': What!? You didn't think Senor [sic] Cardgage was cool?
*'''Strong Sad''': No! He was extremely sketchy and gave me nightmares.
*'''Strong Bad''': And... What's not cool about giving you nightmares?
*'''Strong Sad''': Oh, never mind. Go back to your creepy comb-over story.
===The bet (95)===
*'''Strong Bad''': So, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Let me get this uh-straight: You're betting me that you're cool.
*'''Homestar Runner''': Yep, I'm cool.
*'''Strong Bad''': And if you're not cool, you have to change your name to... Kevin DuBrow. But if you are cool, I gotta spend the night over at The King of Town's?
*'''Homestar Runner''': That's the deal, man. The total deal.
*'''Strong Bad''': You're goin' down, son.
*'''Homestar Runner''': No ways.
*'''Strong Bad''': All right! Let's see you be's cool.
*'''Homestar Runner''': ''[Homestar puts on sunglasses]'' 'Sup?
*'''Strong Bad''': Oh, crap!!
<hr width="50%"/>
*'''King of Town''': So here's all my foodstuffs. You want some Pork Snagglins? Or a can of Butter-da or anything?
*'''Strong Bad''': King, I think that stuff's for automotive use only.
*'''King of Town''': It's possible.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''King of Town''': [advertising Butter-da] They tell me not to, but I still drinks [sic] it!
===Monument (97)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Yeah, there were big plans once. It was to be made of the finest materials. On a massive scale that would rival the [[W:Aztecs|Aztecs]] and their... [[W:Tenochtitlan|techno-chocolate land]].
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': Oh yeah, The Cheat. That totally looks like my right foot. It's got all the rightness of a foot without all the footdom of a right.
*'''Off-screen chorus''': ''Here comes the Thnikkaman!''
*'''Strong Bad''': No way! Check it out The Cheat, it's the Thnikkaman! Hey, Thnikkaman!
*'''Bubs''': [as “the Thnikkaman”] Hey, kid!
*'''Strong Bad''': Can we have some?
*'''Bubs''': Yeah, okay.
*'''Strong Bad''': Thanks, Thnikkaman! [mumbles to The Cheat] Thanks, Thnikkaman.
*'''Bubs''': Yeah, shut up, kid!
*'''Off-screen chorus''': ''There goes the Thnikkaman!''
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': I'd like to see you stay on task when you're starin' down the barrel of a loaded Thnikkaman.
===Different town (99)===
'''Strong Bad''': “Dear Strong Bad, I just wondering [sic], if you had a chance to make your town different, what would you do? Censorly [“Sincerley”], Steven, [[W:Volkswagen|Wolksvagen]] [ [[West Virginia|WV]] ].” Pour hot soup in Homestar's eyes, eh, Steven? That sounds like a pretty good- wait... what'd your email say again?
===Flashback (100)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Oh, I got flashbacks alright, Jon. I'm like, Discount Flashback Warehouse over here. But this particular flashback has way too much historical significance to be shown in anything but [[W:Widescreen|WIDESCREEEEEEEEEEEEN]]. Left side: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAH! [screen expands to the left] Right side: WOOOOOAHH— [screen expands to the right, revealing Homestar Runner] Wha-uh, what are you doin' over there?
*'''Homestar Runner''': Oh, I'm pretty much here every week. It's just that usually I'm behind the black.
*'''Strong Bad''': Guess I should start... lookin' to the right more often.
*'''Homestar Runner''': In fact, I think I might live here.
*'''Strong Bad''': I don't think so. If you lived here, you'd have less non-broken bones. And more crushed spirits.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': Everyone loves Strong Bad. He is an okay guy.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': [narrating] One day Strong Bad was finishing up a game of tennis on the moon with his pal, the Coach Z. He won 1,000,000 to 3.
*'''Storybook Strong Bad''': You see, 3 is clearly a smaller number than a million.
*'''Strong Bad''': Said Strong Bad.
*'''Storybook Coach Z''': Ooooooh. Now I understand.
===Car (101)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Oh, good one Kyle. Like I don't get two jillion of these emails every two jillion seconds. Er. Wait. Would that be so bad? Hmmm. I'll have to ask Gron Sad about that later on. Maybe write in to [[W:Popular Science|Popular Science]] about it. "Popular Science." No such thing, man. More like, "Nerdular Nerdence."

*'''Strong Mad''': I DON’T WANT TO EAT A GUITAR!
===Dangeresque 3 (106)===
*'''Strong Bad (as Dangerseque)''': Let's get one thing straight, meatball... face... butt: I work alone. 'Cept when I work with Renaldo... which is all the time.
*'''Homestar Runner (as Dangeresque Too)''': Oh yeah? Well, you need me because I'm the only one that knows where Perducci is, and where that is... is that he is... in... [[Istanbul]].
===Cheatday (107)===
'''Strong Bad''': So, nobody knows exactly when The Cheat's Cheatday is, so we celebrate it on the only day we know for sure it isn't. And that's the date of birth on his fake I.D. Which says he's a 43-year-old Scandinavian miner named Ilko Skevüld.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Strong Bad''': After breakfast, in honor of Ilko's heritage, we'll usually play some mining games, like... mining... and... coal…?

'''Strong Bad''': Looks like I'm gonna be checking e-mails and kicking Cheats 'til the day I die. Whoa, that'd make an awesome tattoo! Or an even better epitaph!
===For kids (110)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Okay, kids, we're gonna play "Where's The Cheat?". Can you say, "a-The Cheat"?
*'''Kids''': [mumbling] THE CHEAT!
*'''Random kid''': [[Christopher Columbus]]!
*'''Strong Bad''': Not good enough. F minus minus.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': All right, dumb children. Find The Cheat!
*'''Kids''': He’s over there!
*'''Strong Bad''': Um, no, he's behind the box. No, uh, he's not even behind the box, he's barely obscured by the box. Look, The Cheat is ''behind the freaking box!!'' HE'S BEHIND THE BOX! I'LL KILL YA!! I'LL KILL ALL YOUR DOGS!!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': I've got two words for the children that are raised on that crap: HELD BACK. REPEATING THE THIRD GRADE. LOW STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES. I GUESS THIS WAS MORE THAN TWO WORDS.
===The facts (114)===
*'''Strong Bad''': He's like a big square, this guy ''[Strong Mad]''. I don't really know if that has anything to do with why he doesn't have his own cartoon. But it's just weird, is all. Un... settling. I guess if he lived in Cubeland, it might work, but... Cubeland is a place I just made up, so...
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Homestar Runner''': I want my own cartoon, Strong Bad.
*'''Strong Bad''': What? I'm over here!
*'''Homestar Runner''': Oh. ''[turns around]'' I want my own cartoon, Pom Pom.
*'''Strong Bad''': Homestar, a cartoon starring you would be horrible. It'd just be you saying "Sewiously" ''[sic]'' all the time and acting like a moron... all the time.
*'''Homestar Runner''': No, no! Not no more! I got a new catchphrase!
*'''Strong Bad''': No.
*'''Homestar Runner''': You wanna hear it?
*'''Strong Bad''': No!
*'''Homestar Runner''': I'd be all the time sayin' "That's bupkis!"
===Time capsule (115)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Rest assured, Shim-Sham Sam, my [[W:time capsule|time capsule]] would reign supreme. Like your hot single Mom is gonna wanna date my time capsule. So, the key to a good time capsule is it being an actual capsule. None of these shoe boxes or tennis ball cans. No. Those things are called time boxes and time tennis ball cans. Those are different and lame and differently lame. And they always get dug up in about 4 days.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': And I might as well spit in it, just in case they ever figure out how to make people… from spit. Ooh! Then I'd put some [[W:dry ice|dry ice]] in there so when they open it up it looks all smoky and steamy and it says a-like ''froosh'' when they first open it. There'll be no doubt about my coolty.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Stinkoman''': Oh man, those first four hundred bites of dirt were not so good. Maybe the next one will be better. [finds Strong Bad’s time capsule] WHAAAT is this?! Some sort of a challenge buried in the GROUUUND?!
===Animal (119)===
*'''Strong Bad''': The Lappy 486 weighs in at an extremely portable forty-two pounds and features an impressive battery life of one half of ten minutes.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': [I]f I was my own made up animal, I would probably like as [sic] the coolest made up animal ever made up. I would have all the cool animal options and accessories: Claws, Horns, Tusks, Tentacles, Power Doors, 15 Year [[W:Drivetrain|Drivetrain]] Warranty, [[W:Proboscis|Proboscis]], Segmented Eyes<ref>Strong Bad is actually referring to [[W:compound eyes|compound eyes]]</ref>…
===Radio (120)===
'''Strong Bad''': [T]he first rule of thumb for all radio personalities is to look absolutely nothing like how they sound.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Strong Bad''': College radio can pretty much be summed up in 5 words: [[wiktionary:dead air|Dead air]], um, dead air.
===Origins (123)===
'''Strong Bad''': Ugh! Why do you [[W:Melvin Van Peebles|Van Peebles]] always wanna know the origins and histories of every freakin' little thing?
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Marzipan''': [while being spraypainted by Strong Bad] To me, this is something that losers would do.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Strong Bad''': Man, did you guys see me refuse to take that guff? I flat out rejected it! That guff never even had a chance!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Strong Bad''': So ya see Claire, if it weren't for the Stick, and Marzipan's considerable resistance to death, the On Point Kings may never have stolen the King of Town's dunce cap and renamed it Lotionman! D-don't ask, it was Strong Mad's idea.
===Secret recipes (124)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Being from Africa, I'm sure you guys are used to eating, like, exotic fruits and nectars and, um, lions… so our recipes may seem a bit uncouth. ''Uncouth''. Can something be just plain ''couth''? I bet freakin' Strong Sad is plain couth.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': Say there, Coach, would you like to try some of our free icèd-c-cream? It's got toasted coconut!
*'''Coach Z''': How could I refuse? I can't afford the money-cost variety! [starts eating] Oooh! Sweet mercy! [keeps eating] This is orful! [sic] [still eating]
*'''Strong Bad''': Aww, it's OK, Coach. You're the proud new eater of a healthy bowl of sour cream and The Cheat fur!
*'''Coach Z''': Hoo! I think I'm going to puke my pants!
*'''Strong Bad''': Ugh! Please don't elaborate on that.
*'''Coach Z''': Naw, it's easy. I do it all the time! Here, let me show ya's!
*'''Strong Bad''': AUGH!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Homestar Runner''': Hey, girlfriend, have you tried any of this free ice cream Strong Bad made?
*'''Marzipan''': Homestar, didn't anyone tell you? That's, like, cottage cheese and The Cheat hair!
*'''Homestar Runner''': WHAT!? Strong Bad told me it was ''sour cream'' and The Cheat hair!
===Garage Sale (129)===
[[File:Vuilnis.JPG|thumb|Lemme tell you a thing or two about garage sales: Ya ever get the feeling that the people just got lazy taking the trash out, so they stopped right there on the driveway and started putting price tags on things?]]
'''Strong Bad''': Lemme tell you a thing or two about garage sales: Ya ever get the feeling that the people just got lazy taking the trash out, so they stopped right there on the driveway and started putting price tags on things? I mean, isn't it just a little bit suspicious that there's only a one-letter difference between “garage sale” and “gar-BAHHJ sale”? Except, don't ever say “gar-BAHHJ” like that. That's, like, the only joke Moms have and they can keep it for all I care.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': ''[Voiceover]'' First, there's the haggler, the guy who spends all day trying to talk you down from a quarter to twenty-two cents for some worthless piece of crap.
*'''Bubs''': I'll give ya two thin dimes for this pantyhose doll.
*'''Strong Bad''': First off... all... that is Aunt Gert. And secondly, she's worth way more than the quarter I'm asking for her! Heck, I paid six-fifty for her new. And them's 1998 dollars!
*'''Bubs''': Well, maybe if she was wearing a troll outfit, or a witch's hat or somethin'...
*'''Strong Bad''': I'll let it go for twenty-four cents.
*'''Bubs''': Twenty-two and [[W:half cent|a half]]!
*'''Strong Bad''': You, my friend... just bought yourself an Aunt Gert.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Marzipan''': Coach Z, may I ask why you're buying up all the "great for baby" items?
*'''Coach Z''': I'd prefer that ya didn't.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Strong Bad''': Obviously, wasting your Saturday morning just to sell $3.19 worth of trash isn't the real reason to have a garage sale. It's to get people out of their houses so The Cheat can ransack them!
===Do over (130)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Richie Z, [[Canada|Can-A-Duh]]” Wait, you're not related to Coach Z, are you, Richie? Or Coach [[W:Zed (letter)|Zed]] as you [[W:Canuck|cah-nooks]] call him. Whoa, ''Coach Zed''. That's way cooler. I'm gonna start calling him that too and maybe he won't suck so bad!
===Modeling (132)===
'''Strong Bad''': I can't wait to get those pictures back from the lab. I can totally see some of them being used in one of those glossy fashion magazines. Y'know, the kind that cost nine bucks and are 97% ads. Like maybe in an ad for those fancy leather shoes that you're supposed to wear without socks. WITHOUT SOCKS! Man! Can you imagine the luxury!
===Bottom 10 (133)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Number Ten is easy: [[w:Wet T-shirt contest|Dry T-Shirt Contests]]. You'll never find a more degrading contest or a larger waste of not water.
<hr width="50%"/>
*'''Strong Bad''': Number Three is the [[W:death by chocolate|ridiculous trend of giving chocolate desserts dangerous names]]. You know, like, [[W:cardiac arrest|Chocolardiac Arrest]].
<hr width="50%"/>
*'''Strong Bad''': Slumming in at Number Two are songs that try to pass off la la's, na na's, and doot do's as legit lyrics. As evidenced in Limozeen's bizarrely titled "Feed The Childrens." ''[a portion of the fictitious song is played, consisting of the described gibberish lyrics]'' Ugh, what were they thinking? More like, "We need to feed our children, so we made this terrible song."
===Record book (134)===
*'''Strong Bad''': All right, King o' Town, I need some disgusting eating records. Why don't you just, uh, have lunch, and I'm sure you'll set several without even trying.
*'''The King of Town''': Ooh! I like eating lunch! Today I'm having a giant pile of salt! ''[Sucks up the salt]''
*'''Strong Bad''': Whoa! Nice woik! ''[sic]''
*''[The King hiccups]''
*'''Strong Bad''': What, you got-a some hiccups?
*'''The King of Town''': ''[hiccup]'' Nope. Those, my friend, are heart attacks!
<hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Coach Z''': Well, I'm gonna set the world record for puttin' nine pieces of chewed gum up on my face and singin' the "I'm Just Me" song and hoppin' around on one foot!
*'''Strong Bad''': Coach... Oh, please stop! Look, you can't just make up some random crap that no one else will ever do and call that a record.
*''[Cut to Homsar doing the exact same thing]''

[[File:Albert Einstein Head.jpg|thumb|While the muscular crew will age only a few hours, the cargo, according to our vague understanding of the [[theory of relativity]], will have aged to an incredible one million dollars.]]

===High school (140)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Now, I have an extremely [[W:Photographic memory|unphotographic memory]]. So, I guess that'd be more like a drawing, or a doodle. Like a doodle memory. But I would hazard a guess that we were probably just like other cartoons were in high school, i.e. we were [[Scooby-Doo|a team of super sleuths]].
*''[cut to the main characters as teenagers]''
*'''Marzipan''': Stampers! My long lost uncle's abandoned pie factory sure is mysterious.

*'''Strong Bad''': Well, Gardenboy, as a crafty ring veteran, I can let you in on a little secret. Being an awesome wrestler has nothing to do with awesome wrestling moves! It’s all about awesome costumes, gimmicks, and dinosaur tranquilizer fueled ranting and raving. I got my first big break with cable access’ longest named wrestling organization, All World Mid-Pro Shirtless Championship Entertainment or AWMPSCE. Of course they wanted me to be one of those lame masked wrestlers at first, but I have gimmickier plans.

<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': The easiest way to get around reading an actual book is to make one up yourself! I can't tell you how many dioramas I got out of The King Of Town's Adventures in Giant Cockroachland! Books one through seven. Though with the Internet, it's probably easier for teachers to check your sources than in my day. To get away with that now, you'd also have to make a fake website for the book, and the author, and the publisher, and just to be safe, maybe go ahead and actually write the book. Man, it’s gotten so hard to cheat these days!

<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': The main requirements are that the country of manufacture has changed name five times since I was in seventh grade; that you sell your wares from a blanket; that you always refer to the selling of our items as "numba [sic] one bargain!"; and that one of us has to have a human nose.
<Hr width=“50% “/>

[[File:Triple-R rating.png|thumb|In triple R -rated movies, you can show bullets go all the way through people! In the front, through their guts and organs and breakfast and RIGHT OUT the BACK! That is nasty, man!]]
'''Strong Bad''': The only thing better than [[W:R-rated|R-rated]] movies are double and triple R-rated movies! Let me break down the subtle differences for you. In an R-rated movie, the good guy only blows people up in self-defense. But double R -rated movies are allowed to blur the line! Man, I saw this one double R-rated movie, where the good guy stepped on this rabbit, and he didn't kill it, but then later on in the movie, he wished he did! The GOOD GUY! That's messed up, man! You can't let kids watch that kind of thing! Then in triple R -rated movies, you can show bullets go all the way through people! In the front, through their guts and organs and breakfast and RIGHT OUT the BACK! That is nasty, man!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Strong Bad''': Only three have ever been made: ''Women's Penitentiary Bakesale Nightmare'', The ''Fists of Knuckles'' series, and ''Axe-Gun: Legends of the Brain-Outener''. They even banned those movies in [[W:Transylvania|Transylvania]], where you're required by law to eat puppies for breakfast. And even if a theater were showing it, which ours conveniently is, you gotta be like sixty-something years old just to buy tickets.

===Love poems (195)===
[[File:Candle light, pillar candle.jpg|thumb|Your eyes, they flicker like a Sandalwood Sage Sunset. Your hair flows like Fresh Cotton Linens hung to dry on the deck.

[[File:Trifolium sp., Adana 01.jpg|thumb|Tis ne'er e'er o'er m'lo'er o' clo'er.]]
'''Strong Bad''': Did you know that writing love poems is as easy as telling a girl she's hot with the fance-pantsiest words you can think of? For poetic inspiration, I like to swipe the names of scented candle fragrances! “''Your eyes, they flicker like a Sandalwood Sage Sunset. Your hair flows like Fresh Cotton Linens hung to dry on the deck. Grandma's Apple Cinnamon Spice is the scented candle I would use to describe your mouth. And your nose: like an unscented emergency candle for when the power goes out.''”
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': Another way of fancying up a love poem is to replace random letters in the middle of words with apostrophes. "It is never ever over, my lover of clover" becomes "'Tis ne'er e'er o'er m'lo'er o' clo'er".
*'''Coach Z''': ''[suddenly leans in]'' Now you're sporkin' my language!
*'''Strong Bad''': Get out!
===being mean (199)===
'''Strong Bad:''' Oh, wait. Being mean is the best choice there, too. Look, this is clearly not a job for me, Nice Dad.

*'''Strong Bad:''' “Dear Strong Bad, What was the coolest explosion you ever saw? From Kelly, [[USA|Ūsa]].” Mmmm! An exotic lady from the far east! That's kind of a vague question don'tcha think? That's like me asking, "Dear Kelly, what's your favorite molecule of air that you've breathed?" Or "What's your favorite Strong Bad muscle that you wanted to rub with hot oils?" You gotta narrow it down somehow. Like, do you wanna know about the coolest looking explosion I ever rigged up in Strong Sad's org-ethnic breakfast pouch on a Tuesday?
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': Everybody knows that the more spit it takes to describe an explosion, the cooler said explosion was. And the cooler said explosion-talker-abouter is!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Sad''': Well, you know, Announcerman, that's right! All you gophers out there better listen up! The Magnificent Marzipan stole all Gardenboy's garden tools! And I don't care if she's the women's champion, men's champion, the half-woman half-man's champion, bu- Do we have one of those?
*'''Announcerman''': Er, yes, I believe we do.
*'''Strong Sad''': Well, can I fight them instead?
===Imaginary (202)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Dear. Streer. Beer. My brother had a friend over today and he drove me crazy!! What should I do about it? Crudfully, Henry Wisner, ''[[Wisconsin|why?]]''” “Crudfully”? Really? What, was your mom sitting over your shoulder when you typed this email? And is your mom the kind of lady that won't let you type the word “crap”? Don't get me wrong, I still woulda made fun of you if you had typed “crapfully”, I prolly would have just left your moms out of it.
===Independent (203)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Independent films are called that for a reason: they are independent of anything good.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Sad''': I minored in holding on wide shots for too long!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': [An indie film director will] spend his 30-million dollar budget trying as hard as he can to make it look like he only spent a few hundred thousand. The first step is to spend millions on a hand-drawn title sequence that looks like it was made by some Junior High kid during Pre-Algebra.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': The title of the movie is either two of the cleverly named main characters, or the city and state in which it takes place. Ooh, in fact, just call it "city, comma, state".
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': an indie film's plot is pretty much the same as any summer blockbuster, but just switch out any mention of the word "space" with the word, "small factory town", replace "aliens" with "quirky, dysfunctional family", And replace "voyage" with... "journey".
===Videography (205)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Hopefully that will be enough to keep your wife from wondering why her video media technologist husband wasn't smart enough to think of putting a video camera on a tripod across the room and press record. But you could probably also get away with just putting a label that says "WEDDIN [sic] TAPE" on a VHS cassette since none-out-of-none couples actually ever watch their wedding video. Unless of course a baby drops an f-bomb, somebody pukes in their toupee, or Grandmaw Auntpaw rolls down the stairs in her wheelchair. In which case you simply post it online and turn it into internet gold! And I can definitely arrange for some of that stuff to happen at your wedding, if you enlist my services as an "event coordinator."
===The next april fool’s thing (208)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Sincerely, Mollie B.” Oh, that is a waste of a perfectly good middle "B" initial, Mollie! Lemme fix that for ya! “Sincerely, Mollie B. Chowdwerworth Gruelmanger”. You know, of the Puntington Farms Gruelmangers.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': For motivation, I do what any great coach does, and berate myself until I get results or until I quit the team and press charges!
*[Cut to Strong Bad shouting at himself in a mirror]
*'''Strong Bad''': Chowderworth Gruelmanger?! You call that an overly-complicated old-timey last name?! That is bush-league, son! I am sick and tired of this crap! And [[W:Bobby Knight|I'm sick of losing to Purdue]]!

*'''Strong Bad''': Er... Homestar?

*'''Strong Bad''': Homestar!
*'''Homestar Runner''': Yeah, what?
*'''Strong Bad''': You're in my house.
*'''Homestar Runner''': Yup.
*'''Strong Bad''': Again.
*'''Homestar Runner''': Yeppers.
*'''Strong Bad''':: Aaand you brought a boulder.
*'''Homestar Runner''': Not me. [[W:Plate tectonics|Plate tectonics]].
*'''Strong Bad''': What are you doin' in here, man?!
*'''Homestar Runner''': Oh. Well, I heard you talking about motivation and inspiration, and I decided to brush off my old ABD's!
*'''Strong Bad''': Umm, Aloud But Deadly?
*'''Homestar Runner''': You don't know about the ABD's, Strong Bad?
*''[long beat; electronic whine can be heard in the background]''
*'''Strong Bad''': ''[whispering]'' I'm just gonna stay silent in the hope that you won't tell me what it means.
*'''Homestar Runner''': Always be'sing and do'sing!
*'''Strong Bad''': You say that like it clarified anything.
*'''Homestar Runner''': Rules for an inspired life, Strong Bad. No matter what you do, or where you are, always be's be'sing and do'sing.
*'''Strong Bad''': So you started a cult.
*'''Homestar Runner''': Yeah, kinda. For instance, I am currently be'sing on this boulder, and I am do'sing an ABD workshop with you.
*'''Strong Bad''': Oh, okay. Then I am be'sing full of rage, and do'sing a roundhouse kick to your face!
*'''Homestar Runner''': Nooope, nope nope, that was some prime choosing you committed right there. Did you see it?
*'''Strong Bad''': Wait, what's wrong with choosing?!
*'''Homestar Runner''': Cheesing and choosing. The antithesis of be'sing and do'sing! If you're choosin', you're losin'.
*'''Strong Bad''': Just because something rhymes doesn't mean it's good life advice!
*'''Homestar Runner''': Ah! And that's a perfect example of cheesing!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Homestar Runner''': Changin' attitudes with rhymin' platitudes!
===Parenting (209)===
'''Strong Bad''': And so Mike Morkleson— I-I don't know if that's your last name but you just seem like a real Morkleson —thus ended my brief foray into the soirée of fatherhood. I've distilled it all down into 3 main points, so you can remember: Number one: Babies are totally boring for the first nine months. Give to Grandma. 2. Keep a drawer full of useless keys and TV remotes for some reason. And number 3. That much ballyhooed 'new baby smell' people are always talking about, it just smells like crap! Babies just smell like crap! You just get used to it!! Don't let 'em fool you! It's not a good smell! BABIES SMELL LIKE CRAAAAAAAP!
===Robots (210)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Now follow him and learn what their robot world domination plans are so we can copy 'em!
*'''The Cheat''': [The Cheat noises]
*'''Strong Bad''': Of course they want to take over the world! Why else would robots be having a secret council meeting?
*'''The Cheat''': [The Cheat noises]

*Everybody loves the Homestar Runner. He is a terrific athlete.
**Narration on first page

*'''Strong Bad''': I'm the very strongest! You guys are not very strong!
== Where My Hat Is At? ''[sic]'' ==

**Main theme song lyrics
==Who Said What Now?==
*'''Marzipan''': I'm the only girl.
==First Time Here?==
*'''Homestar Runner''': Oh, hello! Welcome to Homestarrunner dot net.
*'''Crewman''': It's "dot com".
*'''Homestar Runner''': Oh, right. Homestarrunner dot net. “It's dot com!”
<hr width="50%"/>
*'''Strong Bad''': Hello, and welcome to I'm a Big Moron Who Can't Remember His Lines Dot Com! No, seriously. I'm Strong Bad, and you don't know it yet, but [[W:breakout character|I'm the reason you're here]].

===Strong Bad===
*'''Strong Bad''': I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games ''[sic]'', the hottest, and real real hot.
===Marzipan===
*'''Marzipan''': I'm a fiercely independent woman, and I'm fiercely independent about the soy products that I choose.
===King of Town===
*'''King of Town''': Now, despite rumors to the contrary, I did not just buy a crown at the costume palace and ask people to start calling me the King of Town. I earned my title the same way I earned a free combo meal: by purchasing one of equal or lesser value. I also did not ever try to eat my own mustache.
==Strong Bad Email==
===Some kinda robot (1)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Dear Strong Bad: Do you take your wrestling mask and boxing gloves off before you go to bed? Sincerely, Abdi LaRue, [[W:San Diego, CA|San Diego, CA]].” Well, that's a stupid question, Abdi. Do you take off your face and hands before you go to bed? And if so, are you some kind of [[robot]]?
===Homsar (2)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Hi Strong Bad, if you hate Homsar ''[sic]'' so much, why don't you kill him? From Vinnie C.” You know what, Vinnie? You're right. I'll be right back.
*''[Cut to a strange being labelled Homsar]''
*'''Strong Bad''': Hey, Homsar!
*'''Homsar''': Uhdyeah, what ees eht, Stwong Baaaaayaad?
*''[Strong Bad squashes him with a giant weight labelled “heavy lourde” [sic]]''
**This email inspired the creation of the character Homsar, who became a reoccurring cast member
===Butt IQ (3)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Dear Mr. Bad, how do you know if someone's butt is stupid? I mean, is there like some kind of [[W:IQ test|IQ test]]? Crapfully yours, Tyler.” Oh, come on Tyler! Don't you remember your [[algebra]], man? It's called the Transitive Butt Property. And it clearly states that the stupidity of somebody's butt is greater than or equal to the stupidity of that person's head.
===I she be (13)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Hey my name is great looking girl strong bad! i she be your girlfriend.” [sic] Uh… Hey! My name is Strong Bad, great looking girl! I he be your boyfriend. Okay, seriously. All i gotta say about this is… GET IN LINE SISTER!!! I mean, do you know how many freakin emails I get like this a DAY? From ladies with proper grammar? I mean come on!
===Tape-leg (19)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Dear Strong Bad, my brothers are always telling me that your legs are made of tape, is that true? Nee-co-las.” [Nicholas] They said my legs were made of tape?! WHAT?! I mean, do I look like some kinda tape-leg? I can guarantee you, man, I am not a tape-leg.
===Spring cleaning (20)===
[[File:Cherry Keyboard G83-6105RLNDE, German layout-5996.jpg|thumb|How do you type with boxing gloves on?]]
'''Strong Bad''': “Dear Strong Bad, How do you type with boxing gloves on? Mike, Bend [[Oregon|Ora-gawn]]”. Oh, that's a new one. No way do I get this freaking question all the time. I suppose I'll probably answer it right now— DELETED!!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Strong Bad''': “Dear Strong Bad, Are you made of crap? Did you invent the word crap? Where did the word crap come from? Crapfully crapfully, Chad”. Oh, I'll totally answer this one because apparently the only thing I'm concerned with is the word crap— DELETED!!
===Cartoon (21)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing. But too much of an awesome thing is... umm... really, really dumb and bad.
===Bird (24)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Psssshhh! [[W:the finger|The Double Deuce]]!
===Flag day (32)===
Come to the place where tropical breezes blow. <br>
Come to the coolest place I know. <br>
The people are so great, <br>
But really there's only me, <br>
And that means I'm so great, <br>
And also there's The Cheat.
*Strongbadian national anthem
===Property of ones (39)===
[[File:Cerveza Pacifico.jpg|thumb|The colder it is, the more of a one it is. Because you don't want to end up with a Cold None. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.]]
*'''Strong Bad''': The colder it is, the more of a one it is. Because you don't want to end up with a Cold None. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.
===Vacation (40)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Hey, you guys! Just dropping you a line here from "The Great Mound". I got two words for ya: false advertising. There's nothing great about this mound, okay?
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': I kinda miss you guys and your emails... I can almost hear one of them now: "Dear Stong Bad, You are crap. Crap is the best. Everybody loves crap. Crap is in the mix. Crap is to the max. How does Homestar pick stuff up if he's not wearing any Marzipants? Crapfully crap, Monkey D, [[W:Seattle, Washington|Seattle, Washington]]."
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': It was nothing but antique stores down there, like I couldn't find a single restaurant! I have a sneaking suspicion the people in Over There ''eat'' antiques.
===Marzipan (59)===
*'''Marzipan''': ''[singing]'' Oh yeah, oh yeah, and I really don't like him at all.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': Do you don't not dislike not Strong Bad?
*'''Marzipan''': Uh... I guess...
*'''Strong Bad''': See! I told you you loved me!
===Interview (62)===
'''Strong Bad''': [imitating Homsar] DaAa! I was raised by a cup of coffee.
===Crazy cartoon (72)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Crazy cartoons usually have titles that have nothing to do with the cartoon itself. You know, like... “Sweet Cuppin' Cakes”!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': I don't think it deserved a trophy. I don't even think it deserved a pizza! Maybe a pizza trophy.
===The process (79)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Show you the process, eh, Em? Sure, I can do dat, but I should warn you, it may spoil the magic for some of you out there. I strongly urge both the faint of heart and the faint of butt to leave the room at this time.
===Stunt double (80)===
*'''Strong Bad (as Dangeresque)''': I'm gonna have to JUMP!

===Caffeine (91)===
*'''Strong Bad''': And coming in at number 91, it's: ''[[W:metal scream|E-Maaaaaaaaaaail!!!]]'' “Dear Strong Bad, It must be really annoying living with someone as whiny as Strong Sad. Why don't you slip him some caffeine? Justin, [[W:Murfreesboro, TN|Murfreesboro]], [[Tekken]] [ [[Tennessee|TN]] ]” Oh-ho-ho-ho! ''Devilish laugh''. Dear Justin, In addition to [[Wiktionary:cut of one's jib|the cut of your jib]], I likes the sound of your town. ''Murfreesboro''. But we got the All-Wide Science Fair just around the corner and I've been straining for a project. So far alls I've come up with is the effects of gasoline… on fire.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': In the final stages, subject became:
:Erratic,
:Violent,
:and Really Funny to Watch.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': At this point, the test subject...was dead. [audience gasps]
*'''Strong Sad''': [offscreen] I was not dead!
*'''Strong Bad''': ...Shut up. And all of this data could only bring us to one conclusion: ...Strong Sad's adopted. [audience gasps]
*'''Strong Sad''': [offscreen] That's not true either!
===Kind of cool (92)===
*'''Strong Bad''': I'd still probably be the coolest guy in the world, just a different kind of cool. More of a "I'm so cool, you don't even know I'm cool" kind of cool.
**On if he was not ”stylish, buff, and handsome”
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*''[after strong bad is finished describing his “kind of cool” alter ego]''
*'''Strong Sad''': You basically described that creep Señor Cardgage that lived down the street from us when we were little.
*'''Strong Bad''': What!? You didn't think Senor [sic] Cardgage was cool?
*'''Strong Sad''': No! He was extremely sketchy and gave me nightmares.
*'''Strong Bad''': And... What's not cool about giving you nightmares?
*'''Strong Sad''': Oh, never mind. Go back to your creepy comb-over story.
===The bet (95)===
*'''Strong Bad''': So, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Let me get this uh-straight: You're betting me that you're cool.
*'''Homestar Runner''': Yep, I'm cool.
*'''Strong Bad''': And if you're not cool, you have to change your name to... Kevin DuBrow. But if you are cool, I gotta spend the night over at The King of Town's?
*'''Homestar Runner''': That's the deal, man. The total deal.
*'''Strong Bad''': You're goin' down, son.
*'''Homestar Runner''': No ways.
*'''Strong Bad''': All right! Let's see you be's cool.
*'''Homestar Runner''': ''[Homestar puts on sunglasses]'' 'Sup?
*'''Strong Bad''': Oh, crap!!
<hr width="50%"/>
*'''King of Town''': So here's all my foodstuffs. You want some Pork Snagglins? Or a can of Butter-da or anything?
*'''Strong Bad''': King, I think that stuff's for automotive use only.
*'''King of Town''': It's possible.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''King of Town''': [advertising Butter-da] They tell me not to, but I still drinks [sic] it!
===Monument (97)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Yeah, there were big plans once. It was to be made of the finest materials. On a massive scale that would rival the [[W:Aztecs|Aztecs]] and their... [[W:Tenochtitlan|techno-chocolate land]].
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': Oh yeah, The Cheat. That totally looks like my right foot. It's got all the rightness of a foot without all the footdom of a right.
*'''Off-screen chorus''': ''Here comes the Thnikkaman!''
*'''Strong Bad''': No way! Check it out The Cheat, it's the Thnikkaman! Hey, Thnikkaman!
*'''Bubs''': [as “the Thnikkaman”] Hey, kid!
*'''Strong Bad''': Can we have some?
*'''Bubs''': Yeah, okay.
*'''Strong Bad''': Thanks, Thnikkaman! [mumbles to The Cheat] Thanks, Thnikkaman.
*'''Bubs''': Yeah, shut up, kid!
*'''Off-screen chorus''': ''There goes the Thnikkaman!''
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': I'd like to see you stay on task when you're starin' down the barrel of a loaded Thnikkaman.
===Different town (99)===
'''Strong Bad''': “Dear Strong Bad, I just wondering [sic], if you had a chance to make your town different, what would you do? Censorly [“Sincerley”], Steven, [[W:Volkswagen|Wolksvagen]] [ [[West Virginia|WV]] ].” Pour hot soup in Homestar's eyes, eh, Steven? That sounds like a pretty good- wait... what'd your email say again?
===Flashback (100)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Oh, I got flashbacks alright, Jon. I'm like, Discount Flashback Warehouse over here. But this particular flashback has way too much historical significance to be shown in anything but [[W:Widescreen|WIDESCREEEEEEEEEEEEN]]. Left side: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAH! [screen expands to the left] Right side: WOOOOOAHH— [screen expands to the right, revealing Homestar Runner] Wha-uh, what are you doin' over there?
*'''Homestar Runner''': Oh, I'm pretty much here every week. It's just that usually I'm behind the black.
*'''Strong Bad''': Guess I should start... lookin' to the right more often.
*'''Homestar Runner''': In fact, I think I might live here.
*'''Strong Bad''': I don't think so. If you lived here, you'd have less non-broken bones. And more crushed spirits.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': Everyone loves Strong Bad. He is an okay guy.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': [narrating] One day Strong Bad was finishing up a game of tennis on the moon with his pal, the Coach Z. He won 1,000,000 to 3.
*'''Storybook Strong Bad''': You see, 3 is clearly a smaller number than a million.
*'''Strong Bad''': Said Strong Bad.
*'''Storybook Coach Z''': Ooooooh. Now I understand.
===Car (101)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Oh, good one Kyle. Like I don't get two jillion of these emails every two jillion seconds. Er. Wait. Would that be so bad? Hmmm. I'll have to ask Gron Sad about that later on. Maybe write in to [[W:Popular Science|Popular Science]] about it. "Popular Science." No such thing, man. More like, "Nerdular Nerdence."
**Popular Science actually [http://www.popsci.com/popular-science-answers-question-strong-bad-asked-us-13-years-ago answered Strong Bad] 13 years after the email
===Haircut (103)===
*'''Strong Mad''': I DON’T WANT TO EAT A GUITAR!
===Dangeresque 3 (106)===
*'''Strong Bad (as Dangerseque)''': Let's get one thing straight, meatball... face... butt: I work alone. 'Cept when I work with Renaldo... which is all the time.
*'''Homestar Runner (as Dangeresque Too)''': Oh yeah? Well, you need me because I'm the only one that knows where Perducci is, and where that is... is that he is... in... [[Istanbul]].
===Cheatday (107)===
'''Strong Bad''': So, nobody knows exactly when The Cheat's Cheatday is, so we celebrate it on the only day we know for sure it isn't. And that's the date of birth on his fake I.D. Which says he's a 43-year-old Scandinavian miner named Ilko Skevüld.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Strong Bad''': After breakfast, in honor of Ilko's heritage, we'll usually play some mining games, like... mining... and... coal…?
===Replacement (105)===
[[File:PAX 2008 - Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People (2810850382).jpg|thumb|Looks like I'm gonna be checking e-mails and kicking Cheats 'til the day I die.]]
'''Strong Bad''': Looks like I'm gonna be checking e-mails and kicking Cheats 'til the day I die. Whoa, that'd make an awesome tattoo! Or an even better epitaph!
===For kids (110)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Okay, kids, we're gonna play "Where's The Cheat?". Can you say, "a-The Cheat"?
*'''Kids''': [mumbling] THE CHEAT!
*'''Random kid''': [[Christopher Columbus]]!
*'''Strong Bad''': Not good enough. F minus minus.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': All right, dumb children. Find The Cheat!
*'''Kids''': He’s over there!
*'''Strong Bad''': Um, no, he's behind the box. No, uh, he's not even behind the box, he's barely obscured by the box. Look, The Cheat is ''behind the freaking box!!'' HE'S BEHIND THE BOX! I'LL KILL YA!! I'LL KILL ALL YOUR DOGS!!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': I've got two words for the children that are raised on that crap: HELD BACK. REPEATING THE THIRD GRADE. LOW STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES. I GUESS THIS WAS MORE THAN TWO WORDS.
===The facts (114)===
*'''Strong Bad''': He's like a big square, this guy ''[Strong Mad]''. I don't really know if that has anything to do with why he doesn't have his own cartoon. But it's just weird, is all. Un... settling. I guess if he lived in Cubeland, it might work, but... Cubeland is a place I just made up, so...
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Homestar Runner''': I want my own cartoon, Strong Bad.
*'''Strong Bad''': What? I'm over here!
*'''Homestar Runner''': Oh. ''[turns around]'' I want my own cartoon, Pom Pom.
*'''Strong Bad''': Homestar, a cartoon starring you would be horrible. It'd just be you saying "Sewiously" ''[sic]'' all the time and acting like a moron... all the time.
*'''Homestar Runner''': No, no! Not no more! I got a new catchphrase!
*'''Strong Bad''': No.
*'''Homestar Runner''': You wanna hear it?
*'''Strong Bad''': No!
*'''Homestar Runner''': I'd be all the time sayin' "That's bupkis!"
===Time capsule (115)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Rest assured, Shim-Sham Sam, my [[W:time capsule|time capsule]] would reign supreme. Like your hot single Mom is gonna wanna date my time capsule. So, the key to a good time capsule is it being an actual capsule. None of these shoe boxes or tennis ball cans. No. Those things are called time boxes and time tennis ball cans. Those are different and lame and differently lame. And they always get dug up in about 4 days.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': And I might as well spit in it, just in case they ever figure out how to make people… from spit. Ooh! Then I'd put some [[W:dry ice|dry ice]] in there so when they open it up it looks all smoky and steamy and it says a-like ''froosh'' when they first open it. There'll be no doubt about my coolty.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Stinkoman''': Oh man, those first four hundred bites of dirt were not so good. Maybe the next one will be better. [finds Strong Bad’s time capsule] WHAAAT is this?! Some sort of a challenge buried in the GROUUUND?!
===Animal (119)===
*'''Strong Bad''': The Lappy 486 weighs in at an extremely portable forty-two pounds and features an impressive battery life of one half of ten minutes.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': [I]f I was my own made up animal, I would probably like as [sic] the coolest made up animal ever made up. I would have all the cool animal options and accessories: Claws, Horns, Tusks, Tentacles, Power Doors, 15 Year [[W:Drivetrain|Drivetrain]] Warranty, [[W:Proboscis|Proboscis]], Segmented Eyes<ref>Strong Bad is actually referring to [[W:compound eyes|compound eyes]]</ref>…
===Radio (120)===
'''Strong Bad''': [T]he first rule of thumb for all radio personalities is to look absolutely nothing like how they sound.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Strong Bad''': College radio can pretty much be summed up in 5 words: [[wiktionary:dead air|Dead air]], um, dead air.
===Origins (123)===
'''Strong Bad''': Ugh! Why do you [[W:Melvin Van Peebles|Van Peebles]] always wanna know the origins and histories of every freakin' little thing?
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Marzipan''': [while being spraypainted by Strong Bad] To me, this is something that losers would do.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Strong Bad''': Man, did you guys see me refuse to take that guff? I flat out rejected it! That guff never even had a chance!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Strong Bad''': So ya see Claire, if it weren't for the Stick, and Marzipan's considerable resistance to death, the On Point Kings may never have stolen the King of Town's dunce cap and renamed it Lotionman! D-don't ask, it was Strong Mad's idea.
===Secret recipes (124)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Being from Africa, I'm sure you guys are used to eating, like, exotic fruits and nectars and, um, lions… so our recipes may seem a bit uncouth. ''Uncouth''. Can something be just plain ''couth''? I bet freakin' Strong Sad is plain couth.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': Say there, Coach, would you like to try some of our free icèd-c-cream? It's got toasted coconut!
*'''Coach Z''': How could I refuse? I can't afford the money-cost variety! [starts eating] Oooh! Sweet mercy! [keeps eating] This is orful! [sic] [still eating]
*'''Strong Bad''': Aww, it's OK, Coach. You're the proud new eater of a healthy bowl of sour cream and The Cheat fur!
*'''Coach Z''': Hoo! I think I'm going to puke my pants!
*'''Strong Bad''': Ugh! Please don't elaborate on that.
*'''Coach Z''': Naw, it's easy. I do it all the time! Here, let me show ya's!
*'''Strong Bad''': AUGH!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Homestar Runner''': Hey, girlfriend, have you tried any of this free ice cream Strong Bad made?
*'''Marzipan''': Homestar, didn't anyone tell you? That's, like, cottage cheese and The Cheat hair!
*'''Homestar Runner''': WHAT!? Strong Bad told me it was ''sour cream'' and The Cheat hair!
===Garage Sale (129)===
[[File:Vuilnis.JPG|thumb|Lemme tell you a thing or two about garage sales: Ya ever get the feeling that the people just got lazy taking the trash out, so they stopped right there on the driveway and started putting price tags on things?]]
'''Strong Bad''': Lemme tell you a thing or two about garage sales: Ya ever get the feeling that the people just got lazy taking the trash out, so they stopped right there on the driveway and started putting price tags on things? I mean, isn't it just a little bit suspicious that there's only a one-letter difference between “garage sale” and “gar-BAHHJ sale”? Except, don't ever say “gar-BAHHJ” like that. That's, like, the only joke Moms have and they can keep it for all I care.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': ''[Voiceover]'' First, there's the haggler, the guy who spends all day trying to talk you down from a quarter to twenty-two cents for some worthless piece of crap.
*'''Bubs''': I'll give ya two thin dimes for this pantyhose doll.
*'''Strong Bad''': First off... all... that is Aunt Gert. And secondly, she's worth way more than the quarter I'm asking for her! Heck, I paid six-fifty for her new. And them's 1998 dollars!
*'''Bubs''': Well, maybe if she was wearing a troll outfit, or a witch's hat or somethin'...
*'''Strong Bad''': I'll let it go for twenty-four cents.
*'''Bubs''': Twenty-two and [[W:half cent|a half]]!
*'''Strong Bad''': You, my friend... just bought yourself an Aunt Gert.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Marzipan''': Coach Z, may I ask why you're buying up all the "great for baby" items?
*'''Coach Z''': I'd prefer that ya didn't.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Strong Bad''': Obviously, wasting your Saturday morning just to sell $3.19 worth of trash isn't the real reason to have a garage sale. It's to get people out of their houses so The Cheat can ransack them!
===Do over (130)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Richie Z, [[Canada|Can-A-Duh]]” Wait, you're not related to Coach Z, are you, Richie? Or Coach [[W:Zed (letter)|Zed]] as you [[W:Canuck|cah-nooks]] call him. Whoa, ''Coach Zed''. That's way cooler. I'm gonna start calling him that too and maybe he won't suck so bad!
===Modeling (132)===
'''Strong Bad''': I can't wait to get those pictures back from the lab. I can totally see some of them being used in one of those glossy fashion magazines. Y'know, the kind that cost nine bucks and are 97% ads. Like maybe in an ad for those fancy leather shoes that you're supposed to wear without socks. WITHOUT SOCKS! Man! Can you imagine the luxury!
===Bottom 10 (133)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Number Ten is easy: [[w:Wet T-shirt contest|Dry T-Shirt Contests]]. You'll never find a more degrading contest or a larger waste of not water.
<hr width="50%"/>
*'''Strong Bad''': Number Three is the [[W:death by chocolate|ridiculous trend of giving chocolate desserts dangerous names]]. You know, like, [[W:cardiac arrest|Chocolardiac Arrest]].
<hr width="50%"/>
*'''Strong Bad''': Slumming in at Number Two are songs that try to pass off la la's, na na's, and doot do's as legit lyrics. As evidenced in Limozeen's bizarrely titled "Feed The Childrens." ''[a portion of the fictitious song is played, consisting of the described gibberish lyrics]'' Ugh, what were they thinking? More like, "We need to feed our children, so we made this terrible song."
===Record book (134)===
*'''Strong Bad''': All right, King o' Town, I need some disgusting eating records. Why don't you just, uh, have lunch, and I'm sure you'll set several without even trying.
*'''The King of Town''': Ooh! I like eating lunch! Today I'm having a giant pile of salt! ''[Sucks up the salt]''
*'''Strong Bad''': Whoa! Nice woik! ''[sic]''
*''[The King hiccups]''
*'''Strong Bad''': What, you got-a some hiccups?
*'''The King of Town''': ''[hiccup]'' Nope. Those, my friend, are heart attacks!
<hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Coach Z''': Well, I'm gonna set the world record for puttin' nine pieces of chewed gum up on my face and singin' the "I'm Just Me" song and hoppin' around on one foot!
*'''Strong Bad''': Coach... Oh, please stop! Look, you can't just make up some random crap that no one else will ever do and call that a record.

===High school (140)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Now, I have an extremely [[W:Photographic memory|unphotographic memory]]. So, I guess that'd be more like a drawing, or a doodle. Like a doodle memory. But I would hazard a guess that we were probably just like other cartoons were in high school, i.e. we were [[Scooby-Doo|a team of super sleuths]].

*'''Strong Bad''': Well, Gardenboy, as a crafty ring veteran, I can let you in on a little secret. Being an awesome wrestler has nothing to do with awesome wrestling moves! It’s all about awesome costumes, gimmicks, and dinosaur tranquilizer fueled ranting and raving. I got my first big break with cable access’ longest named wrestling organization, All World Mid-Pro Shirtless Championship Entertainment or AWMPSCE. Of course they wanted me to be one of those lame masked wrestlers at first, but I have gimmickier plans.

<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': The easiest way to get around reading an actual book is to make one up yourself! I can't tell you how many dioramas I got out of The King Of Town's Adventures in Giant Cockroachland! Books one through seven. Though with the Internet, it's probably easier for teachers to check your sources than in my day. To get away with that now, you'd also have to make a fake website for the book, and the author, and the publisher, and just to be safe, maybe go ahead and actually write the book. Man, it’s gotten so hard to cheat these days!

<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': The main requirements are that the country of manufacture has changed name five times since I was in seventh grade; that you sell your wares from a blanket; that you always refer to the selling of our items as "numba [sic] one bargain!"; and that one of us has to have a human nose.

[[File:Triple-R rating.png|thumb|In triple R -rated movies, you can show bullets go all the way through people! In the front, through their guts and organs and breakfast and RIGHT OUT the BACK! That is nasty, man!]]
'''Strong Bad''': The only thing better than [[W:R-rated|R-rated]] movies are double and triple R-rated movies! Let me break down the subtle differences for you. In an R-rated movie, the good guy only blows people up in self-defense. But double R -rated movies are allowed to blur the line! Man, I saw this one double R-rated movie, where the good guy stepped on this rabbit, and he didn't kill it, but then later on in the movie, he wished he did! The GOOD GUY! That's messed up, man! You can't let kids watch that kind of thing! Then in triple R -rated movies, you can show bullets go all the way through people! In the front, through their guts and organs and breakfast and RIGHT OUT the BACK! That is nasty, man!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
'''Strong Bad''': Only three have ever been made: ''Women's Penitentiary Bakesale Nightmare'', The ''Fists of Knuckles'' series, and ''Axe-Gun: Legends of the Brain-Outener''. They even banned those movies in [[W:Transylvania|Transylvania]], where you're required by law to eat puppies for breakfast.

*'''Strong Bad''': Another way of fancying up a love poem is to replace random letters in the middle of words with apostrophes. "It is never ever over, my lover of clover" becomes "'Tis ne'er e'er o'er m'lo'er o' clo'er".

===being mean (199)===
'''Strong Bad:''' Oh, wait. Being mean is the best choice there, too. Look, this is clearly not a job for me, Nice Dad. (Translation: Uncool Dad) But when it comes to teaching kids about behavior and choices and various other words from parenting books, there’s only one place to look for answers: the drama club!
===Hremail 3184 (201)===
*'''Strong Bad:''' “Dear Strong Bad, What was the coolest explosion you ever saw? From Kelly, [[USA|Ūsa]].” Mmmm! An exotic lady from the far east! That's kind of a vague question don'tcha think? That's like me asking, "Dear Kelly, what's your favorite molecule of air that you've breathed?" Or "What's your favorite Strong Bad muscle that you wanted to rub with hot oils?" You gotta narrow it down somehow. Like, do you wanna know about the coolest looking explosion I ever rigged up in Strong Sad's org-ethnic breakfast pouch on a Tuesday?

===Imaginary (202)===
*'''Strong Bad''': “Dear. Streer. Beer. My brother had a friend over today and he drove me crazy!! What should I do about it? Crudfully, Henry Wisner, ''[[Wisconsin|why?]]''” “Crudfully”? Really? What, was your mom sitting over your shoulder when you typed this email? And is your mom the kind of lady that won't let you type the word “crap”? Don't get me wrong, I still woulda made fun of you if you had typed “crapfully”, I prolly would have just left your moms out of it.

*'''Strong Sad''': I minored in holding on wide shots for too long!
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': [An indie film director will] spend his 30-million dollar budget trying as hard as he can to make it look like he only spent a few hundred thousand. The first step is to spend millions on a hand-drawn title sequence that looks like it was made by some Junior High kid during Pre-Algebra.
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': The title of the movie is either two of the cleverly named main characters, or the city and state in which it takes place. Ooh, in fact, just call it "city, comma, state".
<Hr width=“50% “/>
*'''Strong Bad''': an indie film's plot is pretty much the same as any summer blockbuster, but just switch out any mention of the word "space" with the word, "small factory town", replace "aliens" with "quirky, dysfunctional family", And replace "voyage" with... "journey".
===Videography (205)===
*'''Strong Bad''': Hopefully that will be enough to keep your wife from wondering why her video media technologist husband wasn't smart enough to think of putting a video camera on a tripod across the room and press record. But you could probably also get away with just putting a label that says "WEDDIN [sic] TAPE" on a VHS cassette since none-out-of-none couples actually ever watch their wedding video. Unless of course a baby drops an f-bomb, somebody pukes in their toupee, or Grandmaw Auntpaw rolls down the stairs in her wheelchair. In which case you simply post it online and turn it into internet gold! And I can definitely arrange for some of that stuff to happen at your wedding, if you enlist my services as an "event coordinator."

*'''Homestar Runner''': Nooope, nope nope, that was some prime choosing you committed right there. Did you see it?
*'''Strong Bad''': Wait, what's wrong with choosing?!
*'''Homestar Runner''': Cheesing and choosing. The antithesis of be'sing and do'sing! If you're choosin', you're losin'.

I've distilled it all down into 3 main points, so you can remember: Number one: Babies are totally boring for the first nine months. Give to Grandma. 2. Keep a drawer full of useless keys and TV remotes for some reason. And number 3. That much ballyhooed 'new baby smell' people are always talking about, it just smells like crap! Babies just smell like crap! You just get used to it!! Don't let 'em fool you! It's not a good smell! BABIES SMELL LIKE CRAAAAAAAP!

:'''Boy 4''': Linus all the way!
:'''Lucy''': If you knew that Linus van Pelt were running for president, would you vote for him?

:'''Russell''': No.
:'''Lucy''': If you knew that he was going to solve all the problems of the whole world, would you vote for him?
:'''Russell''': No.
:'''Lucy''': Well, why not?
:'''Russell''': Cause I'm the one who'd be running against him.

:'''Lucy''': ''[to Charlie Brown]'' We have it cold, Charlie Brown. (If he does not say anything stupid, we can't lose.)
:'''Linus''': And as a change of pace, rather than campaign talk, I've decided to say a few words about the Great Pumpkin.
:'''Charlie Brown and Lucy''': ''[screaming]'' '''AAUGH!'''
:'''Linus''': Halloween will soon be with us. And on Halloween night, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch and brings toys to all the good little children.
:''[The audience of kids laugh at his speech]''
:'''Linus''': I've blown the election.
:''[The scene cuts to the front of the school. Lucy --angrily-- thinks for a few moments.]''
:'''Linus''': All right, say it. Say it. Go ahead and say it. I know you want to say it. I have talked too much. Now I have blown the election. So go ahead and say it.
:'''Lucy''': '''OH, YOU BLOCKHEAD!'''
:''[Lucy says this, completed with her nose in Linus's. Then she walks away.]''
:'''Linus''': She said it!
:''[The scene cuts to Linus and Lucy --and they are with the rest of the group.]''
:'''Lucy''': The way I see it, we still have a chance. My personal poll now shows you and Russell tied at 50-50. ''[turns to Linus]'' If you don't do some other stupid thing, we might still pull it out of the bag.
:'''Linus''': It's depressing to think that there are students who don't believe in the Great Pumpkin.

'''''{{W|The Adventures of Lolo the Penguin}}''''' is a 1986 Russian-Japanese animated film.
==Dialogue==
:''[Then we see footage of Antarctica at night with the camera panning right, we see a narrator speaking about it]''
:'''Narrator''': Although it is yet very cold, it's springtime here in Antarctica. This is a land of grand beauty, nowhere is the air clearer or the scenery more beautiful. But the Antarctic can also be a harsh and dangerous place.
:''[Scene fades to a picture of Scamper]''
:'''Narrator''': It's not always easy for the fascinating animals that live here to survive. This is a story by one of these creatures, ''[The scene begins to zoom out]'' an Adelie penguin named Scamper. But to warn the entire tale of Scamper's adventure, we need to go back to last spring even before Scamper was born.
:''[The scene cuts to Antarctica in the daytime, and the scene is also panning to the right]''
:'''Narrator''': For the penguins, that year was like many other years. The long dark winter was past.
:''[Here they come, splashing through the water with seafood in their bellies, and the instinct of coming home surging through their veins. Then they jump out of the water, with their feet landing on the ice cold, snowy land of their home]''
:'''Narrator''': And now, they fatten themselves up with the food of the sea, getting ready for the most reluctant event of the year; nesting season! In a ritual and tradition as old as time, the males of the penguin village set out to build nests while the females waited nearby in the ocean. The males and females divide up the work of raising the young.
:''[We get five more seconds of them marching]''
:'''Narrator''': Scamper's father is named Gilbert, that's him there in the front of the line.
:''[Then it cuts to them making their nests]''
:'''Narrator''': Each male penguin makes a nest of rocks for his mate. But, sometimes it seems like there are not quite enough rocks to go around...
:''[But these penguins, they want to make the best they can, where they even steal materials from other penguins, if they can get away with it]''
:'''Narrator''': Scamper's mother is named Gracie. She and the rest of the females from the village were emotional and couldn't wait to see if the nests were done.
:''[The father penguins spot them and stop to say hello. The mother penguins do the same, and they waddle over to see the magnificent nests the father penguins have constructed. One such mother penguin is especially emotional to see what her husband has created. Her name is Gracie. Her back, the back of her fins, her face and her irises are colored blue. She waves towards her husband]''
:'''Gracie''': Hi, boys, we're back!
:''[Gracie is colored blackish-blue, and just like the other father penguins, he has fur on his chest as opposed to the many feathers covering his body. She walks over and they embrace each other with a hug]''
:'''Gilbert''': I've missed you so much.
:''[Then she eyes the nest and is proud of her husband's work]''
:'''Gracie''': What a beautiful nest you made for us, Gilbert.
:'''Gilbert''': Yes, well, I think our family should have the very best.
:''[Then the penguin couples sleep together through the night, knowing it won't be long until they will conceal their offspring]''
:'''Narrator''': The penguin couples cuddled together in their new nests. It wasn't long until Gracie had laid two beautiful eggs that would soon hatch into healthy penguin chicks. Now she would return to the ocean and replenish her body.
:'''Gracie''': I'd better go eat something.
:'''Gilbert''': Nice idea.
:'''Gracie''': You'll protect the eggs, won't you?
:'''Gilbert''': Of course. Now go and eat something.
:'''Mrs. Graybeak''': Take best care of our eggs, guys!
:'''Gracie''': Farewell, we'll be back soon!
:''[The mother penguins say their farewells and head out to sea, but before she follows, Gracie sees a flock of skuas perched on a nearby mountain, waiting for the perfect moment to get a decent meal, no doubt]''
:'''Gracie''': And Gilbert, please, watch out for the seagulls! They'd love to eat our eggs if they ever had the chance!
:'''Gilbert''': Don't worry about a fact! You know that I'll guard our eggs with my life.
:''[The father penguins try their best to protect the eggs, but there are many obstacles along the road, such as the giant fierce snowstorms; fierce winds blowing snow all over the place]''
:'''Narrator''': And then, the male penguins settled onto their nests to begin the job of incubating the eggs, protecting them and keeping them warm where that they would soon hatch. It would be 40 days before the females returned, the males' task of staying with the eggs was not an easy one. They often endured horrible conditions during this part of the breeding process.
:''[The penguins try to fight the fierce winds, but they just aren't strong enough to keep silent against the overwhelming power of the wind. They will also be covered in the snow that comes along with the winds, after all, it isn't called a snowstorm for nothing. Then the storm clears and everything is peaceful. Then the penguins begin to stand up and wipe the snow away from their bodies. They check on each other to see if they're alright. Gilbert checks in with his two friends, the Graybeaks. Graybeak is taller than Gilbert and he has a more grayish-blue color to him. Mr. Graybeak is shorter than Gilbert, and is colored grayish-purple]''
:'''Gilbert''': Hello there, neighbor! Some storm! You alright?
:'''Graybeak''': Oh, I'm hungry. I wish they'd all go to the sea and eat, then let's go!
:'''Mr. Graybeak''': We've been sitting here on these eggs a very long time!
:'''Gilbert''': We said we'd stay here. The seagulls are yet around.
:''[They know it's true. If they are to leave the nest, the skuas will try to take their eggs]''
:'''Narrator''': More time passed, and although the male penguins had their best intentions, hunger soon began to get the better of them. One by one, some of them began to desert their nest. The thought of the nice food that awaited them in the ocean was too much to exist.
:''[Sure enough, however, being overcome by the pain of starvation, some, if not most of the father penguins get up and leave for the sea, leaving their nests wide open. Gilbert notices this, and being the strong, brave leader he is, orders the penguins to come back]''
:'''Gilbert''': Hey, come back here!
:'''Mr. Graybeak''': Keep an eye on our eggs!
:'''Gilbert''': '''''HEY, COME BACK HERE! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!! I CAN'T WATCH ALL THESE EGGS AT ONCE, GET BACK HERE!!!'''''
:''[The scene cuts to the skuas flying towards the eggs]''
:'''Gilbert''': Oh, I knew as soon as they left, the birds would attack!
:''[And they are. The skuas have eventually found the right moment to strike. They begin to swoop down and snatch up the eggs. One of the skuas takes an egg from Gilbert's nest while he is distracted, and he runs over to protect the one that remained. Then a skua lands on one of the neighboring nests, and looks Gilbert squarely in the eyes, daring him to come and save the little egg that sits there in the nest. Then Gilbert sees a lonely rock on the ground and he picks it up. Then he throws it at the skua which knocks it back, allowing for him to catch the egg and hurry back to his spot. Now, he has two eggs again, but one of them doesn't belong to him]''
:'''Gilbert''': Oh, at least I ended up with two eggs!
:''[Then the skuas fly away, knowing that they have accomplished their goal. They have all the eggs they need. Gilbert looks upon the scene, disheartened by the chaos that have settled itself upon the many nests]''
:'''Narrator''': As the females returned, there was grand despair at the destruction caused by the seagulls. But there was no disgrace for the nest of Gilbert and Gracie.
:''[Gilbert and Gracie are lucky to have both their eggs in one place]''
:'''Gracie''': Look, Gilbert. You were so brave, you protected our eggs!
:''[The two look behind them and sees that Mrs. Graybeak is a total wreck over the loss of both her eggs. She is colored a purplish-pink, but she has lots of tears of misery in her eyes as she sobs]''
:'''Mrs. Graybeak''': Oh, how could you let this happen? You were supposed to stay with our nests!
:'''Mr. Graybeak''': I'm sorry, darling. Please try to calm down.
:''[Gilbert knows he will have to confess the truth to Gracie and return the egg he protected to its rightful owner]''
:'''Gilbert''': Gracie, I can't warn a lie. I'm sorry, one of our eggs was taken by seagulls.
:''[Then he grabs both eggs because he isn't sure which one is theirs, and which one is the one he shall return. He runs over to the family, with Gracie following behind]''
:'''Gilbert''': Maybe one of these eggs belongs to you.
:''[Gracie grabs the one in his left fin, leaving the one in his right, which is the right one]''
:'''Mrs. Graybeak''': You really mean you saved one of our eggs? Look, darling, we can yet have a baby chick!
:'''Mr. Graybeak''': Oh, this is wonderful. Thank you both very much!
:''[Gilbert looks over at Gracie, who is cradling the egg within her fins, and Gilbert consoles her]''
:'''Gilbert''': There, there. I know it was a big sacrifice. But I wish they would be just as honest with us!
:''[The next day, the baby penguins are due to be born. The fathers need to rest, as well, and now, it’s their turn to go to sea, looking for food. Meanwhile, the mothers rest in their nests. Gracie is in her nest, taking a nap with the egg, cuddled under her breast. Then, the unthinkable happens––the egg was hatching. Out from the cracks at the bottom, bursts two little feet, and it pushes itself out from underneath Gracie’s breast, which awakens her. Then the egg rolls around, and the bottom half breaks apart, revealing the bottom half of the little chick inside it. Its belly is colored tan, opposed to the white bellies and chests of adult Adelie penguins. Its back is also blue, like Gracie, and it has a cute, tiny penguin tail. It stumbles about, and even at times trips over itself. Gracie coos at the sight of her newborn baby. Then the little fellow tries to get the top half off. He almost succeeds the first time, but then it falls back on top of him. Then he tries again, facing backwards, and then he topples and lands on his front. He has little furs on his chest, just like the other males, he also has a blue-colored head, except for his cheeks and chin, which are white. Then the egg comes back toppling, and then gets stuck to his butt, which he pushes against and gets himself out of. Then he begins to stumble around, trying to find his footing, until he eventually lands on his bum. Scamper looks up at his mother with his shining blue eyes. Gracie picks up her newborn baby boy to see him up close]''
:'''Gracie''': Well...hello, my darling. Will you just look at you? Look how precious you are! Oh. Oh, my! You're a perfect child.
:'''Scamper''': ''[peep peep peep]''
:'''Gracie''': My, my!
:''[Then she sees Gilbert coming over]''
:'''Gracie''': Gilbert! Come and see your new son!
:''[Little Scamper looks up to his father, and Gilbert chuckles with joy and pride, as he strokes his son's head]''
:'''Gilbert''': Let's pick out a name. Huh. I have it. We'll call him...Scamper!
:'''Scamper''': Scam-per.
:'''Gracie''': Ah, isn't that a wonderful name?
:'''Gilbert''': Sort of suits him, doesn't it?
:'''Scamper''': Scam-per!
:'''Gracie''': Yes, he likes to scamper around.
:'''Gilbert''': It's alright for you to run around, Scamper. But I don't want you straying too far from home!
:'''Scamper''': Scamper! Scamper!
:''[Then Scamper starts to play around with the snow has he just keeps repeating his name over and over again, without understanding]''
:'''Gilbert''': Now what's gotten into him?
:'''Gracie''': Oh, Gilbert, he's just being a little chick.
:''[Then it cuts to all the penguins with their children, it pans to the right. The scene fades out, but it cuts to the penguins jumping into the water]''
:'''Narrator''': The baby penguins were too little to swim and hunt for food. They relied on their parents to catch their dinner in the bountiful waters of the ocean. This time of year, the penguins ate krill, a small tasty shrimp-like fashion. This nutritious food was plentiful and the adult penguins brought it back to feed to their chicks. While one parent fed the young bird, the other would go off to bring back the next meal.
:''[Now, it's Gilbert's turn to get the next meal, where he leaves Gracie to take care of Scamper]''
:'''Gracie''': Happy hunting, Gilbert!
:'''Narrator''': Like all penguin mothers, Gracie fed Scamper food that she kept for him in their crop. The food was already chewed up, making it easier to swallow in digest.
:''[Scamper wants some more, where he motions that he wants more food]''
:'''Scamper''': More, please?
:'''Gracie''': Wanna bet?
:'''Scamper''': Yes, please!
:'''Gracie''': Don't you think you've had enough for right now, Scamper?
:'''Scamper''': Uh-uh, I can yet eat some more.
:'''Gracie''': C'mon, young man. It's time to run along and play.
:'''Scamper''': Who can I play with?
:'''Gracie''': Perhaps you'll just need to go out and make some friends.
:'''Scamper''': Can I have a snack first, please?
:'''Gracie''': I said, run along!
:''[Then she turns, facing apart from Scamper, with her fins behind her back. Scamper does the same to her, but then, as he turns back and notices his mother isn't taking notice, he runs away. Then he sees a big boulder, and decides to hide behind it. Then Gracie notices that Scamper has ran away]''
:'''Gracie''': Oh, where did he go? Now I've lost him. Scamper! Where is that boy?
:''[Then he notices another penguin walk side-by-side. He is colored gray, and he looks a lot older than either of his parents. His name was Mr. Feather, or as most penguins know him as Mr. Failure because of his age. He just walks around, his fins behind his back, a stride in his step, and his chin held high without a care in the world. Scamper sneaks out from behind the giant rock and begins to follow Mr. Feather’s exact movements. Then, Gracie approaches him]''
:'''Gracie''': Mr. Feather, have you seen my boy Scamper today?
:'''Mr. Feather''': No, I haven't.
:'''Gracie''': But how could he just have disappeared?
:''[To make sure she left, he sneaks out from behind Mr. Feather and runs away again. He comes across another family of penguins, but this family has two little chicks, one a boy, and one a girl. They both are colored a bright gray. The girl's name is Daisy, and the boy's name is Donald. They are asking their mother for more food]''
:'''Daisy''': I want more food!
:'''Donald''': Move-a over!
:''[Scamper has an idea. Perhaps, he can get some more food from their mother. Then he runs up, and gets some food for himself. Daisy and Donald see this and they immediately recognize him]''
:'''Daisy''': Mama, do we have a best brother?
:''[Then Gracie spots Scamper]''
:'''Gracie''': Scamper, there you are! Then you did find your friends. Now, let's go home.
:''[Scamper, in a spot of playfulness, thrusts himself under his mother, and he pokes his little head out from in between his mother's legs. Then Gracie picks him up and walks away. While they are going home, Scamper has a thought racing through his head]''
:'''Scamper''': Mama, how come I don't have any brothers or sisters like everyone else, right? How come, Mama?
:'''Gracie''': It's not just us. Several families have so. Just one chick. There's the Graybeaks.
:''[Then, someone is speaking to Scamper. It is Mrs. Graybeak. The mother of the family that Gilbert saved all these months ago. She, like Scamper’s family, has only one chick. The chick’s name is Snowflake. She, like Scamper, has white cheeks and tan-colored chest, but her back and face are a rose-pink color]''
:'''Mrs. Graybeak''': Gracie, I couldn't help but overhear what you were saying. As you know, we only have one chick and Snowflake needs a playmate.
:'''Scamper''': Mama, who is Snowflake?
:'''Gracie''': You'll find out.
:'''Mrs. Graybeak''': Scamper, I'd like to introduce you to my daughter, Snowflake.
:''[Then Snowflake steps out from behind her mother, looking at Scamper with a shy look in her pink eyes. Scamper is immediately emotional to eventually have a friend]''
:'''Scamper''': No, put me down!
:''[Scamper is set on the ground and then Snowflake retires behind her mother, yet being a little shy, but Scamper doesn't care. He is so emotional to meet her, that he trips and falls while running. Snowflake finds his clumsiness very funny, where she begins to laugh, and Scamper laughs along with her. After Scamper gets up, Snowflake gathers the courage to meet face-to-face, though she yet is a little shy, where she only speaks softly]''
:'''Scamper''': Do you want to be my friend, please?
:''[Snowflake doesn't respond. Instead, she gives only a sly little grin, as she blushes. Incidentally, they touch beaks, and they both nod to each other. They find that as a yes to their friendship, and they begin to celebrate. Then both of them are very happy to be friends]''
:''[Now, every creature has given birth to their offspring. The seals have babies, and even the skuas have their own chicks. At this time, Lolo is in his nest, spending time with his father]''
:'''Scamper''': Papa, warn me about the time you fought the seagulls?
:'''Gilbert''': Well, I was assigned to guard the nests if the seagull suddenly attacked, I had to protect the eggs.
:'''Scamper''': Were you afraid?
:'''Gilbert''': Not a bit, I was too mad. They were trying to steal the eggs that would bring us new baby chicks.
:'''Scamper''': That means you saved my life?
:''[But, before Gilbert is able to respond Scamper's question, they see Graybeak run past them]''
:'''Gilbert''': Where are you going, Graybeak?
:'''Graybeak''': Oh, just look. The seagulls are gathering near the village!
:'''Gilbert''': Alright, you go ahead and see if you can stop them. I'll be along in a moment.
:'''Graybeak''': Hurry up!
:'''Scamper''': I want to come with you.
:'''Gilbert''': No, stay here. And Scamper, don't go anywhere, you hear me?
:''[Scamper just sits there, bored and anxious for his father to return. Then, Mr. Feather strolls up to him, which catches Scamper's attention]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': Huh. Young man, how brilliant and fiber this world must look through your eyes. Look at me, my adventures are passed away if I look at the day, I see only the reflections of lessons I've learned and the world seems routine. But you, you, young man, you have given a fight for gifts! You, you, you must explore the world out there!
:'''Scamper''': But my dad said I'm not supposed to go anywhere.
:'''Mr. Feather''': Of course I'm speaking metaphorically.
:'''Scamper''': Then can I go?
:'''Mr. Feather''': Aha.
:'''Scamper''': Oh, it seems like a nice day to explore.
:'''Mr. Feather''': A nice day? You don't understand me. That is not the point I am trying to make. You should explore with your mind! Use your brain.
:''[Then Mr. Feather walks away, apart from Scamper and his seemingly annoying questions]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': Farewell, lad.
:''[Then Scamper walks out of the nest, with a stride in his step, and emotion gleaming in his eyes. He walks along the snowy land, seeing all the sights. The feel of snow on his feet, the glistening, blue ocean, the clear, blue heavens, everything. He is just wandering around, minding his own business, not noticing the two skuas, watching him from afar on a clifftop. Then he sees a giant mountain, and decides to climb up it. Then Scamper starts to climb the mountain. Even though he slips a couple of times, and sure enough, he makes it to the top]''
:'''Scamper''': Wow!
:''[While looking upon the beautiful landscape, he notices something that looks out of place. It is red, with smaller red and white parts sticking out of it. One of the red facts begins to fly upwards. He wonders if either of these is a human]''
:'''Scamper''': Boy, I guess Mr. Feather was right. It's simple, it's easy! Just go out and explore.
:''[But then, he looks up, and sees the grizzly fate that awaits him. The two skuas are coming straight for him. He ducks down, trying to shake them away, but to no prevail. They are pecking at him and trying to snatch him up with their claws, and until all seems lost for our little hero, suddenly, a giant, red helicopter appears from the heavens and blows the two skuas apart from the little penguin. The two skuas topple down the hill, losing some feathers on the road down. Scamper is safe]''
:'''Scamper''': Hey! Big red bird, come back!
:''[Then he falls from the top of the mountain. After hitting some bumps on the road down, he falls onto his belly and starts to slide the rest of the road down. Then he sees that he is headed for a giant rock. He is sent flying into the air by the rock. Then he comes smashing down as he hits his head on the solid ground, knocking him out, as he lays flat on his back. Gracie is looking everywhere for him]''
:'''Gracie''': Scamper? Scamper! Oh, Mr. Feather, have you seen him?
:'''Mr. Feather''': Uh-uh.
:'''Donald''': I saw––I saw Scamper and he was headed this fashion! Right, Daisy?
:'''Daisy''': Right! But I saw him going that fashion.
:'''Gracie''': Oh, this is horrible! What have I done?
:''[Snowflake sees her searching for Scamper, and she begins to fear for her friend's life, as she begins to softly weep]''
:''[Scamper is yet laying in the snow, his eyes closed, and his body immobile, except for his chest moving up and down, signifying him breathing. Then, he feels a breeze rising up from him. Is he being sniffed? He opens his eyes, and sees the creature that stands before him. It is covered in white, black, brownish-gold fur on the body, with tan-colored fur on the lower half of his legs, and white and black fur on his big, fluffy, curly tail, along with black and white, spiky ears. He has a long muzzle, with a tiny black nose at the end of it, and brown eyes. Then the creature opens its mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth, along with a long, wet tongue. Scamper darts up in fear, and runs away, kicking up some snow, which ends up on the creature’s face. He shakes it off, and runs after Scamper. Scamper runs as fast as he can from the heavily shivering creature. Then Scamper trips over a rock in the snow, and then he lays silent, allowing the animal to jump above him, to the other side. Scamper accepts his defeat]''
:'''Scamper''': Go away, please don't hurt me!
:''[The creature runs up to him, gets close where they are face-to-face, and he starts to....lick him. The animal licks Scamper’s face until he is standing up. Scamper wipes the slobber from his face]''
:'''Scamper''': Stop this! Who are you?
:''[Apparently, it is a dog, named Cowboy]''
:'''Cowboy''': I'm Cowboy. Let's play!
:'''Scamper''': Do you live around here?
:'''Cowboy''': Oh, of course not. I'm a dog. Look over there!
:''[Cowboy points with his snout towards a group of humans carrying facts out of the helicopter that Scamper saw before. Next to it is a small building-like fashion. It may have been their shelter]''
:'''Cowboy''': I came here with these men. They're scientists and they're working on a special project to study and protect the wildlife here in Antarctica.
:'''Scamper''': If I went out this morning, that big red bird saved me from the seagulls. It's a big red bird lets the men ride. Well, they must be friends!
:'''Cowboy''': Oh, but that's not a big bird. That's a machine called the helicopter. It's the easiest fashion for the men to travel here with their equipment.
:'''Scamper''': You fly on it, as well?
:'''Cowboy''': Sure, it's a lot of fun. You want to fly?
:'''Scamper''': Not now.
:'''Cowboy''': Alright then, would you like a bath?
:'''Scamper''': A bath?
:''[Then, Cowboy gets really emotional and starts licking Scamper again, and it tickles]''
:'''Scamper''': No! Stop this! Stop that! Ha ha ha ha! Stop this!
:''[Then Scamper rolls off and starts to run. Then Cowboy runs in pursuit. But then, Scamper runs into something, and he falls down on his back. He looks up to see what he has run into. It is a human]''
:'''Steele's Musher''': Well, a little baby penguin!
:''[Scamper is yet kinda hesitant of this unique stranger. He slowly backs off, until he bumps into Cowboy]''
:'''Steele's Musher''': Well, you're a long road from home. I see you and Cowboy, our friends. Well, what have we done it, yes? Just rest easy now. You're a cute little fellow.
:''[The three walk together to the penguin village to get Scamper back home safely. All the penguins are looking for Scamper, until they spot, from the top of a hill, a human and his pet dog, and within the human’s arms is a tiny blue penguin: Scamper]''
:'''Steele's Musher''': Alright, time for you to go home.
:''[Steele's musher sets Scamper down on the ground and Scamper turns to say farewell to him. But before Scamper can truly leave, Cowboy walks up to him, willing to say farewell]''
:'''Cowboy''': It was sure nice to meet you. I hope we can play again sometime soon.
:'''Scamper''': Alright, thanks. Farewell, Cowboy!
:''[Then Scamper runs away to see his family. Cowboy walks away to his settlement, but not in that instant. Then he turns back around and heads back to his home. Scamper is emotional to see his father again, where that he may warn him about his little adventure. Gilbert looks at his son with a look of utter disappointment]''
:'''Scamper''': Papa, oh, let me warn you about the incredible adventure I just had!
:'''Gilbert''': Scamper! I believe if I left, I asked you not to run away anywhere. You disobeyed! Now come here!
:''[Scamper's look of joy turns into one of despair and guilt, as he realizes what he has done. He walks over to his father, dragging his feet solemnly]''
:'''Scamper''': I'm sorry.
:''[After this, Scamper is returned to the nest where he is being consoled by his mother]''
:'''Gracie''': Won't you please behave? Your father and I concerned so much while you were gone. Scamper, you're my only little chick. I could never replace you. Please promise me that you'll never run far from home again, Scamper.
:'''Scamper''': I won't.
:''[A single tear rolls down Scamper’s cheek, as he leans against his mother. Little does Lolo know why that promise won’t be kept for long]''
:'''Narrator''': It wasn't too long before the chicks were old enough to go to school. The Antarctic could be a very dangerous place, and there was a lot for the young penguins to learn about safety. Wise old Mr. Feather had plenty to teach them.
:''[Their first class teacher is Mr. Feather, or in this case, Mr. Failure. He teaches the little penguins how to protect themselves from any danger they will encounter]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': Now, that's enough. Calm down. Will you be silent! We have much to do so.
:''[Because he dislikes fun, Mr. Feather shrieks]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': '''''NO LAUGHING!!'''''
:''[All the students gather around the teacher for their lesson]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': Now then, why are you here? Because you needed education. And, that in this case means learning to protect yourselves from danger. Yes. Alright. Look! Your first lesson. You know all seagulls are dangerous.
:''[The penguin chicks look up and gasp at the sight of the horrifying skuas hovering above them]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': Before you were born, they tried to snatch your eggs. Right, but even penguin chicks can be caught by a seagull and taken away into the air! Then protect yourself. Cover your head and lay flat on the ground! Understand? Huh!
:'''Students''': We understand.
:'''Mr. Feather''': Sure. Well, fine! Alright. Look over there! Over there!
:'''Students''': What?
:'''Mr. Feather''': Look closer. That's the dorsal fin of another enemy of the penguins. There's nothing more perilous efficient hunter in all the seas and this one; the murderous whale!
:''[Then the fin disappears, as the giant murderous whale jumps out of the water, causing all of the students to jump back in shock while shrieking]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': He has 40 and 50 sharp teeth, but he could swallow you alive and not even have to use them! Alright, if you please take a look over there at these fat leopard seals.
:'''Scamper''': ''[snickers]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': Don't be laughing! These fat friends must have a mouthful of teeth. They get hungry enough they'll try to eat you!
:'''Scamper''': But Mr. Feather, you're afraid of everything!
:'''Mr. Feather''': Am I now? Well, now. Now, let me see. I'm not afraid of the giant blue whale over there. They have always been a best friend to us penguins. And he's the biggest animal on earth and I'm not afraid of him.
:'''Scamper''': Mr. Feather?
:'''Mr. Feather''': Yes, Scamper?
:'''Scamper''': Are you afraid of that big fact?
:''[He points towards a giant elephant seal]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': Oh, dear. Of course not! It's an elephant seal.
:''[Mr. Feather walks over to the big beast that is currently taking a nap]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': This big lug feet on clam and oysters. They also eat starfish, but they never ever eat penguins. We've had too many feathers for their liking. Alright, now let's take a look at the tooth structure of this beast. Huh? No.
:''[The elephant seal opens its mouth, allowing for Mr. Feather to peek inside]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': Notice the heavy tusks formed from the canine teeth. Huh. This one is female, just shorter and thinner.
:''[But then, the creature snaps its mouth shut, getting Mr. Feather's head stuck inside. The students just laugh]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': Let me out of here!
:''[At last, Mr. Feather gets himself out of the seal's mouth, and he topples back slightly before he finds his footing and walks away. Their next class is with a blue, female penguin named Rosie. She is going to help them on their sliding skills]''
:'''Rosie''': Alright, class, pay attention! If you are learning to slide, you must lean far forward this fashion, should we try?
:''[The students follow along, but one of them incidentally falls over, and the other students laugh at this]''
:'''Rosie''': That was nice, but don't lean too far forward. The next step is to learn to run. Let's go!
:''[They all run behind the teacher, trying to keep up. Scamper has yet to reach the peak of his true speed. Then he speeds up, leaving the classmates behind. At last, he catches up to the teacher]''
:'''Rosie''': Scamper, you're going too fast! Slow down a bit!
:''[Then Rosie grasps Scamper's tail, but even if he is yet trying to run]''
:'''Rosie''': Scamper, calm down!
:''[After that is over, the students gather around a small ice block, which they will learn how to jump and slide on it]''
:'''Rosie''': That was very nice. Now we can go slide on the ice. Bongo, would you like to go first?
:'''Bongo''': Yes.
:'''Rosie''': One, two, three!
:''[On three, Bongo jumps and slides on the ice. The other students cheer him on]''
:'''Rosie''': Very nice! Billy, you're next.
:'''Billy''': Alright, one, two, three!
:''[Now, it is Snowflake's turn, but she is a little hesitant of doing it, if not really afraid. She gets afraid of trying new facts very easily]''
:'''Rosie''': C'mon, Snowflake.
:'''Snowflake''': I'm afraid.
:''[But luckily, Scamper steps in to help]''
:'''Scamper''': C'mon, Snowflake. I'll slide on the ice with you.
:'''Rosie''': Alright, get ready...one, two, three, go!
:''[They both jump and Snowflake lands and slides safely, but Scamper jumps all the road over the ice block. The students find that amazing, and celebrate. Rosie also finds it quite amusing]''
:'''Rosie''': Heavens, must you always show off?
:'''Scamper''': I wasn't really showing off, teacher. I just wanted to show everyone how far I could fly.
:'''Rosie''': Well, that's yet showing off. I want you to be like the other children in the group who know how to behave and follow my instructions. Now, I want you to leave the class for a while. Go, sit down!
:'''Scamper''': Alright, I'll go.
:''[Then Scamper finds the perfect moment to sneak away again. He walks over towards the shore, not too far apart from the class, where he can get a brief look at the ocean]''
:'''Scamper''': The ocean's beautiful!
:''[Scamper has slipped and fallen into the water. He can't swim yet, where he just sinks down. Snowflake notices this and warns the teacher]''
:'''Snowflake''': Look, teacher, Scamper's fallen into the water and sunk!
:'''Rosie''': Oh, my heavens!
:''[Rosie jumps into the water, and comes back up within seconds, carrying Scamper, who is covered from head to toe in ice. He looks like a penguin-sized popsicle, She begins to wipe off the ice from his body]''
:'''Rosie''': Oh, Scamper. Don't be alarmed, children. It's alright. This sort of fact is happened before. There they are. In a moment, he'll be as nice as new.
:''[She sets Scamper down, and he feels really dizzy. Then he falls on his butt, and awakens, and Snowflake helps him up to his feet]''
:''[Now, the students will put all that they have learned to the test, by sliding down a big hill]''
:'''Rosie''': And now, children, who's ready for the big hill?
:'''Scamper''': I'm ready!
:''[As if on cue, he jumps and slides right down the hill. He stands back up, ready to go again]''
:'''Scamper''': Hurry up and slide down, everybody. It's so much fun!
:''[All the penguins slide down the hill, and Scamper runs back up to try again. The only penguin that hasn't jumped yet, is Snowflake. She is being hesitant again]''
:'''Rosie''': C'mon, Snowflake. Don't you want to slide?
:''[She nods, as if to say yes. Then Scamper runs up to her]''
:'''Scamper''': Oh, c'mon, it's fine. I'll slide with you!
:'''Snowflake''': Alright!
:''[Then the two run, jump and slide down the hill, while holding wings]''
:'''Narrator''': And then, the penguin chicks spent their morning working hard practicing their sliding. A skill that they would use for the rest of their lives.
:''[After a long day of hard work and play, it's now silent hour in the kindergarten]''
:'''Narrator''': But before long, it is nap time for the young penguins. The teachers had worked hard too that day and needed their rest as well. Most of the little birds stretched out on the snow and fell sound asleep. Not all the penguins were sleepy, however. Scamper was complete with energy as ever. He wasn't the least bit tired. His spirit of adventure warned him that this was an excellent opportunity to sneak off.
:''[But this time, it seems as though he will present company on his little adventure. Snowflake sees Scamper sneaking away, where she decides to see what he's doing, without warning anyone. As Scamper is just about to turn the corner of an ice chunk, Snowflake bursts up in front of him, and it gives him quite a fright]''
:'''Snowflake''': Scamper, where are you going?
:'''Scamper''': I was going for a walk. Listen, you know the last time I wandered far from home, I found something incredible! Over the mountain, there's this little city. There are dogs and men and all sorts of stuff. You have to see that!
:'''Snowflake''': You mean you take me?
:'''Scamper''': Of course I take you, you're my best friend. C'mon!
:'''Snowflake''': Oh. Really?
:''[Their sneaking around awakens Bongo and Billy, who sees them wandering away]''
:'''Daisy''': It's Scamper and Snowflake! Looks like they're going over this big mountain. I know Scamper's father warned him never to leave the village again, if he does so. She has to get it!
:''[Away in the distance, Scamper and Snowflake almost make it to the top of the hill]''
:'''Snowflake''': Scamper, will this be afraid?
:'''Scamper''': No, don't worry.
:'''Snowflake''': Because if you don't know, I'm not very brave!
:'''Scamper''': I'll introduce you to the dog named Cowboy, this will be the most fun fact you've ever done!
:''[The station is gigantic, filled with buildings, vehicles and lots of equipment. Snowflake has a hard time pronouncing the words]''
:'''Snowflake''': It will?
:'''Scamper''': This is it, this is where the dog and the men live.
:'''Snowflake''': Oh, Scamper, it's so far down there. Will we ever get home again?
:'''Scamper''': Listen, don't concern about getting home. I warned you that dog Cowboy is my friend. You'll give us a ride home on his back! This will be so much fun, we'll have so much fun!
:'''Snowflake''': Scamper, I'm afraid!
:'''Scamper''': Don't be afraid, I promise. We won't even go down there unless I see my friend.
:''[He begins to call for him]''
:'''Scamper''': '''''COWBOY!!''''' C'mon, help me.
:'''Scamper and Snowflake''': '''''COWBOY!!'''''
:''[The dog comes out from behind the building, emotional to see his friends again]''
:'''Scamper''': It's alright! We're coming down!
:''[Then Scamper and Snowflake slide down the hill, and the two land in the snow. Snowflake sees the dog coming towards them, and she runs away from him. Cowboy jumps on top of Scamper to lick his face]''
:'''Cowboy''': I'm glad you're back, Scamper. Now I have somebody to play with!
:'''Scamper''': I missed you as well! Listen, I brought some that I want you to meet. Say hello to Snowflake. She's my best friend.
:''[Snowflake is a lot shy, and she hides behind Scamper]''
:'''Snowflake''': He frightens me!
:'''Scamper''': Oh, he's just being friendly, Snowflake. It's alright.
:''[Then, Cowboy bursts in between them]''
:'''Scamper''': Cowboy, cut this out!
:''[Cowboy gives Snowflake a lick on his face, which causes her to fall over. The three laugh and enjoy being together]''
:'''Cowboy''': Alright, everybody! What do you say we go for a ride?
:'''Scamper''': C'mon, Snowflake. That's it!
:''[The two jump on top of Cowboy's back, and they all get ready. The weight of the two penguins on Cowboy's back is weighing him down. But then, Scamper is starting to lose his grip, and starts to fall off. He manages to grab hold of Cowboy's tail and hold on for some seconds before he falls apart and lands in the snow. Then, after a while, Snowflake falls over as well, and Cowboy, without these two chicks weighing him down and wins the race]''
:'''Scamper''': Sure, now let's all go sliding!
:'''Cowboy''': But I don't know how.
:'''Scamper''': Poor Cowboy. You mean, you never learned to slide? I'll teach you. It's easy! You just...sliiiiide!
:''[The two slide down the mountain with ease]''
:'''Scamper''': C'mon!
:'''Cowboy''': Here it goes!
:''[The dog slides down a hill, but he is engulfed in a giant snowball. Cowboy's head bursts out, covered in snow, which he shakes away. The two laugh, as they play around in the snow. They will sneak behind one another to cover them in snow, and they will even throw snowballs. Little do they know, they are not alone. Two skuas are watching them from above. At last, they look up and see them, and their faces turn from joy to fear]''
:'''Snowflake''': What have they done?
:'''Scamper''': I'll protect you. Hurry up, Snowflake, lay down!
:''[Snowflake lays flat on the ground and Scamper tries to cover her in snow, but at last, he is swooped up by a skua and it flies away with Scamper in its clutches]''
:'''Snowflake''': '''''SCAMPER!!'''''
:''[Then the musher's face turns from fear to rage. Then he grabs something tucked under his jacket-robe. It is a pistol. He is going to get his friend back one fashion or another]''
:''[He pulls the trigger and the pistol fires a single shot, which sounds from across the Antarctic. The bullet hits the fiendish bird squarely in the chest and it lets go of Scamper, who falls down to the ground, getting his head buried in the snow. Snowflake runs over, catches him by the feet and pulls him as hard as she could. The other skua is coming straight for her. Cowboy runs towards the almost escaping skua, barking viciously and vengefully. He chomps with his teeth and tears it with his claws, growling, snarling and barking as he tears the skua to shreds. Then Cowboy flings the bird's body away to the side. Snowflake is successfully able to get Scamper out of the snow, but she looks shocked and saddened of her friend's fate. He lays there on his belly, showing how the skua's claws have cut deep into his back, giving him some big scratches. Snowflake touches it a little bit, and Scamper winces at the unceasing pain]''
:'''Snowflake''': Oh, Scamper, you're wounded. Scamper!
:''[She cries out in grand agony she feels in her heart for her best friend]''
:'''Cowboy''': Hurry up, let's go!
:''[Snowflake tries to get Scamper to his feet, while calling Scamper's name. But as they run back to the station as fast as they can, Snowflake picks Scamper up and rides on Cowboy's back]''
:'''Cowboy''': Just hang on!
:''[At last, they get to the station. Back at the kindergarten, the penguins have awakened and start playing. Now, it's time for another lesson]''
:'''Rosie''': Alright, children! Roll call time! Line up, get in line!
:''[The children line up, and Rosie counts them away one by one to make sure everyone is there]''
:'''Rosie''': One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten...that's funny.
:'''Mr. Feather''': ''[yawning]'' What's the matter, Rosie?
:'''Rosie''': Nothing. Just a mistake.
:''[She counts them again just to make sure, and she's right. Scamper and Snowflake are nowhere to be found]''
:'''Rosie''': I guess it's not a mistake. Scamper and Snowflake? They're not here anymore!
:''[Meanwhile, back at the station, Steele's musher has gotten out a liquid form of medicine, dabs a little on a cloth and dabs it onto Scamper's wounds. It stings him, as he groans and moans from the stinging]''
:'''Steele's Musher''': Then you're tangled in a seagull mess. You almost became a penguin lunch!
:''[Then Scamper feels the pain slowly soothe apart. Meanwhile, Rosie is asking if any of the students have seen Scamper and Snowflake]''
:'''Rosie''': Scamper and Snowflake are missing. Has anyone seen them?
:'''Donald''': I know where Scamper and Snowflake went. They left during nap time. They slipped out and climbed over the mountain! Isn't that right, Daisy?
:'''Daisy''': It's all true! And it's all Scamper's fault. He warned Snowflake that he was taking her to the village where he could meet his friend.
:'''Mr. Feather''': How could I've been so foolish? I should've started with a lesson, warning how dangerous humans you aren't!
:'''Rosie''': We have to do something to try to save them!
:''[At last, word spreads all over the village, and Gilbert fears for his son's safety]''
:'''Gilbert''': First he runs off from the nest, then he makes friends with a dog, now he goes into something like this. What have I done with it?
:''[Gracie and Mrs. Graybeak aren't doing any better. They are sobbing uncontrollably for their children to come back to them]''
:'''Gracie''': Oh, where is my poor Scamper?
:'''Mrs. Graybeak''': Where is my poor Snowflake?
:'''Gracie''': But wait. I think I hear something!
:''[They all see something in the distance, it's green and looks mechanical, and it seats a human on it]''
:'''Gilbert''': Something's coming. Go, everyone run and hide!
:''[All the penguins run and hide behind any rocks they can find. They look over and see the unlikely group of four coming straight towards them at high speed. Then, it skids to a halt. The dog gets up from his seat. They also see a sled hitched to the back, and on it is....Scamper and Snowflake]''
:'''Gilbert''': Ah, look, it's Scamper and Snowflake! They're alright!
:'''Steele's Musher''': Well, alright, little penguins. Off you go home!
:''[Then the two head away, but then they turn back to say their farewells, for now]''
:'''Scamper and Snowflake''': Thank you! Farewell!
:'''Scamper''': Bye!
:'''Snowflake''': Thanks again! Farewell, Mr. Man!
:'''Scamper''': Farewell, Cowboy!
:''[Steele's musher and Cowboy get back on the snowmobile and drive away, back to their home. Scamper and Snowflake are overcome with joy to see their parents, as their parents are to see them]''
:'''Gracie''': Scamper!
:'''Mrs. Graybeak''': Snowflake!
:'''Gracie and Mrs. Graybeak''': My little baby, are you alright?
:'''Scamper''': Mama, that man and the dog saved my life.
:'''Mr. Feather''': What nonsense are you speaking about? These are two of the most dangerous animals in Antarctica that you don't belong here. All his furs on his head! Listen, uh...Gilbert, it's a miracle. Your son even comes back here alive!
:'''Scamper''': Wanna hear about my trip?
:'''Gilbert''': You're really in danger, young man. Now go straight back to the nest!
:''[After that, Scamper and his family head back to their nest]''
:'''Narrator''': And then, Scamper was once again safe in the protection of his village, while his feet may have been planted firmly at home. His adventurous mind was soaring to the limits of his imagination.
:''[Scamper’s tan chest and belly feathers have now turned to white, and his cheeks, have now turned to a cyan color. He is lounging on a rock, with his fins on the back of his head, looking up into the heavens, watching the white seagulls soar above. Then, Snowflake’s head bursts into view]''
:'''Snowflake''': Hi!
:''[Snowflake, as well, has white belly and chest feathers, but her cheeks are more bright pink]''
:'''Snowflake''': What are you thinking about? Are you gonna run off again?
:'''Scamper''': Nothing like that.
:'''Snowflake''': Why?
:'''Scamper''': I was thinking about flying.
:''[He points to the heavens, and Snowflake sees the seagulls flying above them. Then Scamper sits up]''
:'''Scamper''': I mean, we're birds, aren't we? Then why is this we can't fly?
:'''Snowflake''': Because we're penguins.
:'''Scamper''': Huh! Well, why should that make a difference?
:'''Snowflake''': It's just that fashion.
:'''Scamper''': Doesn't have to be. Perhaps nobody's trying to fly. That's it! We have wings, as well!
:''[Then Scamper gets up to his feet, ready to try flying. He spreads out his wings and tries to flap them. That gets him nowhere, where he starts running and jumping, but at last, he trips and slides down the hill, face first. He shakes the snow from his head and body]''
:'''Scamper''': I think I know what I'm doing why. I need to get up higher!
:''[Scamper leads Snowflake to a giant icy rock, with a clifftop]''
:'''Scamper''': This is how the other birds do it. If they want to start flying, they usually start from a higher spot. Then I'll just need to do the same fact.
:''[Then Scamper backs up a few feet, runs and jumps, flapping his wings as hard as he can, but to no prevail. He lands in the snow]''
:'''Snowflake''': Scamper, are you alright?
:'''Scamper''': I almost had it! All I need is a little more altitude.
:''[There is an enormous ice glacier. It is gigantic, and at the end of it, is just the ocean]''
:'''Scamper''': That's it, the ice cliffs! I could fly from there for sure. C'mon, Snowflake!
:''[The two climb up the glacier. Scamper is sure he will be able to fly from this height, but Snowflake is starting to have a second thought]''
:'''Scamper''': I've never been up this high before.
:'''Snowflake''': Scamper, you're not going to try to fly from up there. You can't!
:'''Scamper''': Wow! Perhaps you've had a point. It's kinda far down.
:''[The ice underneath them crumbles, and the ice chunk they are all standing on now separates from the glacier and is falling into the ocean below]''
:'''Both''': Aah!
:''[They fall straight into the ocean with a giant splash. The iceberg drifts apart from the island. Scamper is holding onto the iceberg, and sees that they are drifting far from home. Then Scamper makes his road onto the iceberg, and apparently, Snowflake has passed out in exhaustion. Scamper walks over to Snowflake and awakens her]''
:'''Scamper''': Snowflake! Snowflake! Are you alright, Snowflake?
:''[Snowflake is starting to get really afraid. She even starts to weep a little]''
:'''Snowflake''': Scamper, are we trapped?
:'''Scamper''': Are we trapped? I wouldn't say that.
:'''Snowflake''': We're too young to swim and there's no fashion back where we're trapped.
:''[Scamper is actually starting to get annoyed by Snowflake's constant concerning]''
:'''Scamper''': Oh, Snowflake, you should try to look at this as an adventure, alright?
:'''Snowflake''': Adventure?
:'''Scamper''': That's right! We might even meet some interesting...
:'''Snowflake''': But I'm concerned! We might never get home again. Then I'd never see my parents, as well!
:''[She stands up and wipes away her tears]''
:'''Scamper''': Oh, yes, we will. Hey, look!
:''[Then, Scamper spots something in the distance. It is a flock of king penguins. Salvation, or at least help]''
:'''Scamper''': There's an entire flock of penguins right there. I knew we'd be saved!
:'''Snowflake''': These look like the emperor penguins Mr. Feather spoke about. Look how tall they are! They're so beautiful. Do you really think they'll help us get home?
:'''Scamper''': Of course they will! They're penguins, are they? Hey! Hey, hey! Hey! Hey, cousin penguins! We need your help! We're drifting out to sea and we can't swim!
:''[The penguins don't pay any attention to his cries for help]''
:'''Scamper''': How about that?
:'''Snowflake''': Scamper, they're not going to help us.
:''[Scamper starts to get annoyed with the penguins, as he starts to curse them]''
:'''Scamper''': Stuck-up snobs!
:''[They yet don't pay the two any mind at all. Snowflake is beginning to lose hope]''
:'''Snowflake''': Now we'll never be rescued! ''[sobbing]''
:'''Scamper''': Oh, Snowflake, stop that. We will, as well!
:''[Back on the island, all the penguins are looking for the pair of two that have disappeared]''
:'''Gilbert''': '''''SCAAAAAAMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!! SNOWFLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKEEEE!!!''''' ''[echoes]''
:'''Graybeaks''': Scamper! Snowflake! Where are you?
:'''Mr. Feather''': Scamper! Snowflake! Why don't you respond to me?
:''[Then they all gather back together to check on their progress]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': This is Scamper's fault. Snowflake just wouldn't run off like this.
:'''Graybeak''': That's true.
:'''Gilbert''': He's right.
:''[Gracie is a total wreck over the loss of her son]''
:'''Gracie''': Scamper, you promised me you'd never run away again.
:'''Gilbert''': Try to control yourself, darling. Scamper will come back to us. He always does so, you know?
:'''Mr. Graybeak''': Well, I have to admit I've had a worst feeling about this.
:'''Gilbert''': Try to stay optimistic. Think positive.
:'''Rosie''': Yes, I wish they'll be coming home anytime now!
:'''Mr. Feather''': Don't speak nonsense! By this point, they've probably already been eaten. They don't stand a chance!
:''[But they aren't. They are floating far from shore on a giant iceberg. After all the emotion, they are both tuckered out and decide to take a nap. Scamper and Snowflake sleep side-by-side. After a while, Scamper feels something jump onto his belly. He opens his eyes and looks to see a shrimp sitting on top of him. He tries to catch it, but it bounces away from him. Snowflake awakens to the confusion. Scamper grabs at it, but then it jumps into the water. Scamper is almost about to fall in]''
:'''Snowflake''': Don't fall in, Scamper!
:''[Snowflake grabs hold of Scamper and lifts him up. Then he sets him back on the ground. The two both settle down, laying on their fronts to look out onto the ocean. Scamper and Snowflake are getting pretty hungry]''
:'''Snowflake''': Oh. I just wish they have something to eat.
:'''Scamper''': Me as well. If we could swim, there'd be plenty to eat.
:'''Snowflake''': But you know, we can't swim. Our feathers are thick enough to keep off the water!
:''[She sees a giant black mass coming up from underneath the water. They all get up and slowly back apart from the edge. Then, out of the shadow splashes a giant, hungry leopard seal. It is big, and has a mouth complete with teeth. They all back off. Cowboy is standing his ground, snarling and snapping at his heels. Scamper and Snowflake hide behind Steele's musher, who has a look of determination on his face]''
:'''Snowflake''': Oh, Scamper, help!
:'''Scamper''': Watch out, we're slipping toward him!
:''[The three of them try their best to back off, but to no prevail. The seal's weight is just too heavy. Scamper sees a giant ice rock, just big enough to fit the monster's mouth. He lifts it with all his might, and just as the seal is about to clamp his jaws, Scamper throws the ice chunk straight into its mouth]''
:'''Steele's Musher''': Grand job, Scamper!
:'''Cowboy''': Alright! I'm going for it!
:''[Cowboy starts getting on top of him, scratching and biting at him as Steele's musher, Scamper and Snowflake start throwing snowballs at the stuff. Then the seal bites down and crushes the ice rock with its big teeth. Cowboy is starting to slip from the seal's back, and the seal bites down on his tail and throws him aside. Cowboy lands near the others. Steele's musher is now very frustrated]''
:'''Steele's Musher''': Why, you! I'll make you pay for that!
:''[Then Steele's musher takes out another weapon; a katana. He charges at the seal, letting out a battle cry and slashes a big cut across the seal's neck, giving him some big scratches]''
:'''Scamper''': '''''YAY!!''''' You did it!
:'''Steele's Musher''': Thank you...I don't think we're safe yet. Look!
:''[He points towards a giant, black fin sticking out of the water. It is a murderous whale. Then it disappears]''
:'''Scamper''': Where'd that go?
:'''Snowflake''': Oh, dear!
:''[Then the murderous whale jumps out from underneath the iceberg, causing it to separate into two pieces. Scamper and Snowflake hold onto one iceberg, while Cowboy and Steele's musher hold onto the other. Then the murderous whale is heading towards the iceberg with Scamper and Snowflake on it]''
:'''Steele's Musher''': '''''NO!!''''' You stay away from my friends!
:''[Steele's musher runs from the iceberg and with perfect timing, lands on the murderous whale, right as it is about to jump]''
:'''Steele's Musher''': Take it!
:''[Steele's musher stabs the whale in the head, as he and Cowboy jump off it before they can fall into the water. Scamper, Snowflake and Cowboy all gather in for a hug]''
:'''Cowboy''': Thank heaven you're safe.
:'''Scamper''': Thanks to you and Wild Joe.
:'''Snowflake''': Yes, thank you for my protection.
:'''Scamper''': Hey, Wild Joe, wanna have a hug?
:''[Steele's musher isn't paying attention. He is also busy wiping the blood from his katana. His face is solemn with seriousness]''
:'''Steele's Musher''': I'm sorry, I was just so....so...afraid. I wasn't sure you were gonna make it.
:'''Scamper''': I'm very sorry. I shouldn't have tried to fly. If I had just stayed at home, we wouldn't be here.
:'''Steele's Musher''': Scamper. Don't say stuff like that.
:''[He bends down where he is eye level with Scamper]''
:'''Steele's Musher''': You don't have to change anything about yourself. Your adventurous mind is amazing, and shouldn't be held back like this. You just need to be yourself.
:''[Scamper starts to tear up, and runs in to give Steele's musher a hug, as Steele's musher embraces him in his grasp]''
:'''Narrator''': Somehow, Scamper and Snowflake had managed to survive for another day. But their outlook was gloomy. The tiny iceberg to which they clung was drifting farther and farther out to sea. It was only a matter of time before the current took them to waters warm enough to melt their little raft, but fate once again had a hand to play in their adventure.
:''[The adventurous twosome has been drifting out in the open sea for quite a while. Today, they will go face-to-face against their greatest threat yet. The two are both sleeping, but then Scamper awakens. He stretches out and yawns as he sits up, and then climbs to his feet. Suddenly, he hears a giant horn and he sees coming towards them, is a giant black cargo ship. He gasps and rubs his eyes, making sure he isn't yet asleep. He looks, and sure enough, it's yet there]''
:'''Scamper''': Snowflake, wake up! Hurry up, get up! Look, Snowflake!
:'''Snowflake''': What?
:''[The ship comes even closer, the horn grows even louder, and he can hear the water being swept away by the ship's haul. Then the iceberg is pushed aside by the waves. The two look up, and see that a crew is onboard and sees them. The two start calling to them]''
:'''Scamper''': Heaven help us! We need your help!
:'''Snowflake''': Heaven save us!
:''[One of the crew members throw a giant net, that wraps around the iceberg, and the men start to pull them up]''
:'''Sailor #1''': Penguin chicks? Hurry now, get the net!
:''[At last, the iceberg makes it onto the deck, as Scamper and Snowflake slide off. They look up to see a group of black and gray clothed men surrounding them)
:'''Scamper''': I can't believe we're being rescued.
:'''Sailor #2''': What are these chicks doing floating way out here?
:'''Sailor #3''': It's lucky we've had them.
:''[Keeping in mind what the sailors say, as well as seeing all the multiple crates that look more like cages, he puts two together and realize the truth. These aren't sailors, they are poachers]''
:'''Scamper''': Snowflake, we're saved! Yay! Yippee! We're saved, hooray! Ha ha!
:''[But it's no use. The two penguins are caught within the poachers' grasps. The poachers laugh manically]''
:'''Poacher #1''': Don't run away! You two are worth almost a thousand dollars each!
:'''Poacher #2''': Your new home is going to be a cage.
:''[Scamper and Snowflake try to get free of the grasp of their captors, but it's no use]''
:'''Scamper''': What? Hey, let me go! Let me go!
:'''Snowflake''': Put us down now!
:'''Scamper''': I want to go back to your mother and father!
:'''Snowflake''': Put me down! Hey, wait!
:''[The other poacher takes Scamper and Snowflake to their cages, while the other stays to complete the job. The poacher drags Scamper and Snowflake to the ship's cabin, where an empty cell awaits them. They are both thrown in, and the door is shut. The poacher looks to the other cage and grins maliciously]''
:'''Poacher #1''': Get in there! You two!
:''[Meanwhile, Scamper and Snowflake are thrown into a cage. The door is shut and the latch is firmly secured]''
:'''Scamper''': Oh, please don't leave us here!
:''[The two poachers don't pay them any mind. Instead, they just keep walking off]
:'''Snowflake''': I don't think we'll like it in this cage!
:'''Scamper''': Won't you take us home to our parents?
:'''Voice''': Ah, you guys are doing nothing but wasting your breath!
:''[They are alarmed to see another penguin with them. He has white chest feathers, like them, but he's black and has yellow feathers on his head and eyebrows. They don't know what kind of penguin he is]''
:'''Snowflake''': Oh, what kind of bird are you?
:'''Scamper''': Who are you?
:'''Louie''': Louie, that's my name. I'm a macaroni penguin!
:'''Scamper''': Sure, you're a penguin!
:'''Snowflake''': Why are you here?
:'''Louie''': The three of us are all here for the same reason!
:''[They are confused as to what he meant. They look at each other with confused faces]''
:'''Louie''': C'mon now, don't you know anything? The men are selling us to the zoo!
:''[Then the two see two poachers walk up to their cage, but one looks different in terms of clothing. He is dressed in grayish-blue, and the type of clothing is strangely 'formal'. This may be the captain of the ship]''
:'''Poacher #1''': Then what do you think?
:'''Captain''': Now all he needs is just a hundred more penguins like these!
:'''Poacher #1''': That's a lot of birds, captain. To get that many, we'll have to sail to Antarctica!
:'''Captain''': Then what? If we need to sail to the moon to fill these cages, I want these penguin chicks!
:'''Poacher #1''': Aye-aye, captain!
:''[The two leave and now, Scamper is certainly convinced that these guys are in fact poachers]''
:'''Louie''': Well, that didn't convince you. Nothing will.
:'''Scamper''': No, I believe you.
:'''Snowflake''': Oh, dear. Now we'll never get home!
:'''Louie''': You have the picture.
:'''Snowflake''': Oh, dear, we might be split up and sold to different zoos? What could ever be worse? They can't take you from me, Scamper!
:'''Scamper''': Ah, that won't happen.
:'''Louie''': That will happen and a lot worse! Unless we do something.
:'''Scamper''': Alright then, we'll help, what have we done?
:'''Louie''': I don't know what have we done. We just have to escape somehow, but I haven't figured out a fashion.
:''[Even if he hears Louie's warnings, Scamper isn't going to give up so easily. He is determined to find a road out, and get back home. Then he spots the latch that holds the door in place]''
:'''Scamper''': Now let me see, if we could get that open.
:'''Louie''': That's a latch and it's too high to reach. Believe me, I've tried.
:''[Then Scamper sees something big and fluffy standing there. It is a dog, a Saint Bernard, in fact. The two back off]''
:'''Scamper''': What? Who are you?
:'''Louie''': That's Jack, keep an eye on that old geezer.
:'''Jack''': Oh, don't go speaking like that.
:'''Louie''': He's a phony, works for these sailors. They feed him and in return, he guards us!
:'''Jack''': It's my job.
:'''Louie''': Get another job then! Don't work for these bad men. Money's the only fact they care about!
:'''Jack''': I'm too old. I can't look for a new master now. Nobody else wants old Jack.
:'''Scamper''': Please, let us out. We don't want to live our lives in the zoo.
:'''Snowflake''': He's right, Mr. Jack. Let us go! No one will ever know that you set us free.
:'''Jack''': And then, where would you go? We're a hundred miles out to sea and you guys probably can't even swim. There are birds and seals and murderous whales out there. I'm probably doing you guys a favor leave you in that cage. Yes. Ho-ho, I am!
:''[Then Jack walks away, leaving the two penguins stunned at what a rude dog he is]''
:'''Narrator''': Scamper, Snowflake and Louie seemed doomed to spend the rest of their lives imprisoned. Even though freedom seemed all but impossible, the thought of being locked in a zoo kept Scamper diligently searching for a road to escape.
:''[But, this doesn't mean that Scamper is about to give up. In fact, quite the contrary. He is trying to get Snowflake to help him in his escape. Scamper first tries standing on Snowflake's back. He reaches as high as he can to get to the latch, but it's just too high]''
:'''Louie''': You two are wasting your time!
:''[Scamper jumps away, and gets an idea]''
:'''Scamper''': C'mon, we have to keep trying. Why don't you climb on my back one more time?
:''[Then Snowflake gets on top of Scamper's shoulders, and then Scamper stands up. Scamper has difficulty keeping his balance at first, but then he keeps his balance and walks towards the door, where that Snowflake can reach the latch. She reaches as high as she can, but it isn't quite enough]''
:'''Scamper''': Can't you reach it, Snowflake?
:'''Snowflake''': Not quite.
:''[Then Scamper stands on his toes, hoping that will be enough, but it yet isn't]''
:'''Scamper''': Now see if you can't.
:'''Snowflake''': Oh, it's no use. It's just a little too high for me to reach.
:'''Scamper''': Snowflake, try standing on top of my head.
:''[Then Snowflake puts her feet onto Scamper's head, but stands on it. Scamper tries to keep his balance, but it's difficult trying to keep control of his head being pushed down by Snowflake's complete body weight. She stands on her toes, and she can reach the latch. Louie sees this, and runs over to see. She keeps trying to push the latch out of the lock]''
:'''Scamper''': Hurry up, Snowflake! I can't hold you any longer!
:''[Scamper can't keep his balance anymore, as he and Snowflake fall down. Then they get back up]''
:'''Scamper''': We almost had it! C'mon, Snowflake. We have to try it again!
:''[All the racket that the penguins are making is keeping Old Jack from enjoying his nap]''
:'''Jack''': Will these penguins never cut it out? I wish they'd start to get some sleep.
:''[The two try the same strategy, hoping it will work this time]''
:'''Louie''': Keep moving, Snowflake!
:''[But then, they fall back down again. Louie is really hoping for them]''
:'''Louie''': You almost had it! You almost had it open as well, you missed it by about this much.
:'''Snowflake''': Oh, Scamper, it's just too high for me to reach it. I can't, I can't!
:''[Then she begins to tear up, thinking about how hopeless she has been. Scamper sees this, and goes over to console her]''
:'''Scamper''': Snowflake, it's alright.
:'''Snowflake''': Oh, really? Well, perhaps we can try again later.
:'''Louie''': Well, at least you two are keeping me entertained!
:''[Louie just sits there with his fins crossed. Suddenly, the three hear a large howling from outside]''
:'''Louie''': Old Jack's howling. Every time that's happened, there's been a horrible storm within a few moments.
:''[And there is. The heavens start to be filled with black clouds, and the sea is raging and waves rocking the ship]''
:'''Poacher #1''': It's gonna storm, captain!
:'''Poacher #2''': Bomb the hatches!
:'''Poacher #3''': Tie down the loose cargo!
:''[The crew sounds the alarm, and runs into the haul, where they can be safe]''
:'''Narrator''': It was a storm that seemed to come up almost out of nowhere. Within moments of old Jack's warning howls, the tramp steamer was being pounded by the fury of a violent squall. Trapped in the cages and unprotected from the elements, the penguins were at the mercy of the storm.
:''[As the storm intensifies, the waves make their road onto the deck, smothering the cargo and the penguins in water. The storm just rages on, without a sign of stopping]''
:''[Meanwhile, back at Antarctica, the penguins are beginning to lose hope that the chicks will come home]''
:'''Gracie''': They've been gone for so long now, I'm so concerned!
:'''Mr. Graybeak''': We looked everywhere for them and there's no sign. There's nowhere else to look. I'm afraid to just call away the search.
:'''Gracie''': No, don't say that. He'll come back, I know they'll be coming back soon!
:'''Gilbert''': Of course they will, darling.
:'''Gracie''': Oh, Gilbert. I'm so concerned!
:''[Gracie just can't believe that they are dead. And she is right, they are alive, and somewhat safe]''
:''[Back on the ship, Scamper is pacing back and forth in his cell, trying to figure out a road to get out. Snowflake is sleeping on the floor. Then Scamper spots something]''
:'''Scamper''': What? A mop handle!
:''[The handle is broken apart from the damage that is caused by the storm. He grabs the broken handle, but stretches his fin out and puts the end of the handle through the space between the key chain and the hook it is held on. He lifts it up and brings it over to him, and now the keys are in his grasp. Louie awakens and is shocked to see what he has in his hands. Snowflake is surprised, as well]''
:'''Scamper''': Csendes! Get ready to escape.
:''[He puts the key into the outside lock and unlocks it]''
:'''Louie''': That's it!
:'''Snowflake''': Ha ha!
:'''Jack''': What? Oh, well.
:'''Scamper''': Alright, follow me.
:'''Louie''': Oh, thank you, Scamper!
:'''Scamper''': Don't mention it. Let's go!
:'''Snowflake''': But which fashion?
:'''Scamper''': Well, let's see. Let's go that fashion! Hurry up!
:''[He points to the left, towards the front end of the ship. He climbs up the stairs, but then stops on the last step as he sees Old Jack laying there, napping]''
:'''Scamper''': We have to go the other fashion. Hurry now! C'mon!
:''[The three walk away, and come across a hole down to a cargo-holding room]
:'''Jack''': What? Oh.
:'''Scamper''': Perhaps we could hide for a while way down there.
:'''Snowflake''': I don't know if I can climb down all of these steps.
:'''Louie''': That's no problem. Watch this! What are you waiting for? The coast is clear!
:'''Scamper''': Alright, just follow me.
:'''Snowflake''': Alright.
:''[Scamper, Snowflake and Louie slide down the railing, and land on the ground with a thud]''
:'''Louie''': Let's find something around here to eat!
:'''Scamper''': You said it.
:'''Louie''': Here's where they keep the food, I know because I could smell it. Follow me!
:''[The three walk in, then begin to snoop around, trying to find something to eat. Scamper looks inside a giant can, but nothing is inside, except trash. Snowflake finds a paintbrush. Thinking it's food, she licks it to see how it will taste, and she immediately regrets it. Louie has climbed on top of some boxes, and he smells something nice coming from the very top box. He pushes it with all his might, and it topples down, and falls onto the ground. A huge split cuts its road through the cardboard, and a mess of chips falls out. The others look at it with astonishment]''
:'''Snowflake''': Well, it's some kind of food. This must be the kind of food that men eat.
:''[Louie takes a piece and eats it. It is food---very nice food in fact]''
:'''Louie''': It's nice. Here, have some!
:''[He grabs an entire pile of it, and shares a piece with each of them. The others think it is pretty nice]''
:'''Scamper''': It's not bad. Have some!
:''[The three eat all that is in the box, as the poachers are starting to come down. The three hear the footsteps down the stairs]''
:'''Scamper''': Csendes. Sailors, let's hide! Let's go! C'mon!
:''[The three hide behind a big pile of crates. The two poachers look around, hearing the noise]''
:'''Poacher #1''': Look at this! Who made this mess?
:''[Another poacher comes in, and warns them that their captives have escaped]''
:'''Poacher #3''': All the penguins have gotten out!
:'''Poacher #1''': How could they have gotten out?
:'''Poacher #3''': You're after me? All I know is that the penguins are gone!
:'''Poacher #1''': Alright!
:'''Poacher #2''': These penguins must have done this. Just wait until I get my hands on these troublemakers.
:'''Poacher #3''': Let's find them!
:'''Louie''': Let's keep moving!
:'''Snowflake''': But they've had us trapped in here!
:'''Louie''': Hurry up! Here they come!
:''[The three hide and keep real silent as two of the poachers walk right past them. Then they peek around the corner. A little mouse scurries across the floor, squeaking, and Snowflake hears this and shrieks as she sees it. Scamper puts his fin over his mouth and silences her, but it's no use]''
:'''Captain''': It's them! They're in here! Now you swabbies earn your pay and catch them!
:''[The poachers all try to get them, but fail several times. Scamper jumps onto a barrel that is on its side, and it rolls. He just keeps on rolling and he runs straight into a poacher, but he jumps clear before the poacher can catch him, and the barrel knocks the poacher to the ground. Louie climbs on top of some boxes, which are now shaking because of his swiftness to escape. He jumps up and grabs onto a pipe on the wall as the boxes fall over onto the poacher that is trying to get him, knocking him to the ground. Louie climbs across the pipe, onto the deck. Meanwhile, Scamper and Snowflake have made it to the engine, where a poacher and his captain follow them. Scamper climbs on top of a pipe where he starts to walk across it, but then he slips away onto the floor. The poacher sees him and starts to give chase, but then Scamper jumps onto another pipe, where a lever stands. He grabs onto it and pulls down, as gas comes out of the open space in the pipe and the gas smothers the poacher, who faints from the lack of oxygen. Then Scamper sees a hole in the wall. Maybe this is a road to get out. He climbs up the metal that sticks out of the wall, and he makes it up. All that is left to find Snowflake and get her to safety as well. She is being chased by the captain]''
:'''Scamper''': Snowflake, watch out!
:''[She climbs as fast as she can, but then she slips, right into the captain's grasp. Scamper looks in shock and the captain laughs, but his victory is short lived, but as he feels the bird nip at his nose. He tries desperately to get her off. Then he whips his head around, allowing for Snowflake to let go and grab hold of Scamper's fins. He pulls her up into the little hole in the wall]''
:'''Captain''': Faster! They're above the deck!
:'''Scamper''': C'mon, this is our chance.
:''[Meanwhile, Louie is running away from the poachers, as he notices Old Jack sleeping in the middle of the road. He jumps clear of the old dog, and his assailant trips over the dog]''
:'''Poacher #3''': Jack, you foolish dog! Why don't you get up and help us?
:'''Louie''': We don't have much time. I do wonder....where they went!
:''[He hears them and runs over. He sees them sitting there on the anchor]''
:'''Louie''': Hey, guys! Scamper! Snowflake!
:'''Scamper''': What? Hey, look, it's Louie! Hey, Louie, c'mon down here!
:'''Louie''': Here I come!
:''[He jumps off the railing and onto the anchor. The weight pulls the anchor down until it barely reaches the water. The poachers are now there, trying to catch them]''
:'''Captain''': Second here rate, saboteur gets an end!
:''[One of the poachers gets the net out, and starts swinging. The trio ducks down to avoid it. One time, Scamper is almost caught, but he lets go and almost falls into the ocean, but he grabs onto the anchor just in time]''
:'''Captain''': These are little penguins were heading for your salary! Now look sharp and toss him aboard! Penguins in Antarctica! We'll catch you!
:''[But then, Old Jack howls, causing the poachers to get distracted from their task]''
:'''Poacher #1''': Captain, Old Jack's howling. And there's a storm must be on the road!
:'''Captain''': Reinforcements!
:''[He sounds the bell, and all the poachers run to hide for shelter, buying Jack's bluff. There isn't really a storm. He just howls where he could distract the poachers. The three are all confused as to what just happened]''
:''[The three are all confused as to what just happened]''
:'''Snowflake''': They're gone, but now what are we supposed to do?
:'''Scamper''': I don't know.
:''[They look up and see Jack, and in his mouth is a lifesaver. Then Jack opens his mouth, allowing for the lifesaver to fall into the ocean]''
:'''Scamper''': Here's our chance to escape. Check for the ring!
:''[Louie jumps into the lifesaver, with Scamper and Snowflake jumping onto the outside ring]''
:'''Jack''': Well, perhaps you can teach an old dog new tricks.
:'''Scamper, Snowflake and Louie''': Thank you, Jack! Thank you! Good luck, we won't forget you! Farewell! So long! Bye! Thanks!
:''[Then the three drift far from the ship, as they hear the mighty horn slowly getting more and more silent, until there is nothing]''
:''[The penguins are too distracted by their unrelenting hunger to think of anything]''
:'''Snowflake''': Now we're just back to where we started from.
:'''Louie''': I'm hungry.
:''[The trio just sits there, in the ocean. But then, Scamper thinks of an idea]''
:'''Scamper''': It's not that bad. Look, there's food!
:'''Snowflake''': But you know we can't swim.
:'''Scamper''': We're just gonna have to see about that.
:'''Snowflake''': Then you're gonna try it?
:'''Louie''': You're not waterproof.
:'''Scamper''': Perhaps not. But remember, we're all older now. Perhaps we can swim. I'm gonna try! There's only one fashion to find out.
:'''Louie''': What if you sink?
:'''Scamper''': If I sink, then I sink.
:''[He jumps right off the ice block, as Snowflake and Louie watch. They are both amazed. He can swim perfectly, granted, he has grown quite a lot. Then he jumps out of the water, letting out a joyful laugh]''
:'''Scamper''': Hey! Ha ha! I can swim! I can swim! C'mon in! It's wonderful! It's so much fun! Ha ha ha! Woah, watch this! You can do it as well, it's easy! Don't be afraid! C'mon!
:'''Louie''': Sure looks easy!
:'''Scamper''': Don't even think about it. Just jump in, the water's grand! You'll love it, it's grand! Wow, c'mon!
:'''Louie''': Scamper, I'm going.
:''[Louie jumps into the water, and he also can swim grandly]''
:'''Louie''': Ha ha! I can swim!
:'''Snowflake''': Well, alright then.
:''[Then Snowflake jumps in, and as expected, she also turns out to be a grand swimmer. Then the three see a plentiful swarm of krill for them to eat. Then with a splash, the three penguins burst right out of the water, stuffed with loads of food]''
:'''Scamper''': ''[sighs]'' I've never eaten so much food in my entire life!
:'''Snowflake''': I'm so complete!
:'''Louie''': Me as well!
:'''Snowflake''': Now we can something to eat wherever we're hungry!
:'''Louie''': Anytime!
:'''Scamper''': And that's not all. Don't you see the best part? Now we'll be able to swim back home!
:'''Snowflake''': Oh, dear! Look over there! Giant whales! They've come...they've come to hurt us! Oh, dear! We have almost made it and it's happened!
:'''Louie''': These won't hurt you. These aren't murderous whales. They're not gonna hurt us and they might even help us.
:'''Scamper''': Oh, that's right! Now I remember. Mr. Feather said that they were friends of the penguins! Hey, do you think they'd give us a ride back home? Hi there!
:'''Whale''': Hello, penguins!
:'''Scamper''': Could you please give us a ride home?
:'''Whale''': It would be our pleasure.
:''[After a long while, as they were reaching their limit, Scamper spots land. It is their home. He recognizes the giant, purple ice mountain]''
:'''Scamper''': There it is! I can eventually see our home!
:'''Snowflake''': We're home?
:'''Scamper''': Look how fast we're going. We're on our road home!
:''[The three eventually make it to land. The three penguins land onto the ground]''
:'''Scamper''': Well, let's go!
:''[The two both follow Scamper]''
:'''Louie''': Are you sure you know where you're going?
:'''Scamper''': Yes, over that hill. I know the road. The first time I ran off was right over that hill!
:''[The three climb up the hill and see the valley and the nests, but no penguins]''
:'''Scamper''': Well, this is it.
:'''Snowflake''': Why don't I see anybody?
:''[The three look around and don't see any trace of the penguin village]''
:'''Louie''': There's just a lot of snow down there!
:''[The shapes look exactly like penguins]''
:'''Scamper''': Hey, hey!
:'''Snowflake''': Hey!
:'''Louie''': Hey!
:''[The other penguins hear the noise, and look up to the mountain to see what is making it. They are utterly flabbergasted to see who is standing on top of the hill. It is Scamper, Snowflake and Louie, all safe and sound. The three slide down the hill towards the group of penguins, and they land right at the bottom of the hill. All the penguins gather around them, and are ecstatic to see them alive and well]''
:'''Mr. Graybeak''': That's funny. Ow! That looks like Scamper and Snowflake! They're back! This is incredible!
:'''Gilbert''': Look, it's them!
:'''Mr. Graybeak''': They've come back!
:'''Gilbert''': Look, Scamper and Snowflake are alive! They're alive, they've come home!
:'''Mrs. Graybeak''': Oh, you're home! My baby!
:'''Gracie''': My baby!
:'''Snowflake''': Mama!
:'''Gracie''': Scamper, where have you been?
:'''Scamper''': Mama!
:'''Mrs. Graybeak''': My little Snowflake!
:'''Snowflake''': I missed you!
:''[Scamper and Snowflake run up to hug their mothers, who are especially glad to see their children, weeping tears of joy]''
:'''Mr. Graybeak''': I've never seen a penguin that looked like that before.
:'''Gilbert''': It's a grand big world!
:'''Scamper''': Papa!
:'''Gilbert''': Look at you, Scamper. You're all grown up.
:'''Scamper''': Father, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
:''[Scamper runs up to hug his father, and a single tear runs down his cheek]''
:'''Gilbert''': Son, don't concern about any of that. You're back! And that's all that matters.
:'''Scamper''': Papa, I have someone here that I want you to meet. This is my friend Louie, he's a macaroni penguin. Can he stay?
:'''Gilbert''': Of course he can!
:'''Gracie''': Your friend is welcome here as long as he likes.
:''[The three all jump around, emotional and celebrating their arrival back to their home]''
:''[But it will be short lived, as Rosie runs into the crowd, panicking]''
:'''Rosie''': ''[gunshots are heard, she runs up]'' Help, we need help!
:'''Gilbert''': Can you warn us what just happened?
:'''Rosie''': The sailors, they've taken all the children! What?
:'''Gilbert''': Ohhh!!!
:'''Gracie''': The children! Oh, dear!
:''[Meanwhile, Mr. Feather is trying to get the children back himself. The children are snatched up by a large net, and are being dragged off into a boat]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': Come back here! Where are you going with all my students? They're penguins as well!
:''[One of the poachers has a rifle, and he aims it straight to the ground, and shoots. The shock wave trips Mr. Feather and he falls into the snow. The children cry hopelessly for someone to save them]''
:'''Scamper''': Oh, poor Mr. Feather!
:'''Mr. Feather''': They didn't shoot me. I can't go ahead. I'm just too old!
:'''Scamper''': At least you weren't hurt. Papa, these bad men, we have to stop them. They're catching penguins for the zoo!
:'''Gilbert''': They are? ''[turns to the parent penguins]'' They're trying to sell our children to the zoo! C'mon! Let's stop them!
:''[They are running towards the poachers, with Gilbert and Scamper leading the charge. Mr. Feather gets up and joins the charge. The poachers and their captain are rowing their road back to the ship]''
:'''Captain''': Look lively, lads! Hurry up! Hurry now!
:'''Gilbert''': You men, bring our children back!
:'''Captain''': Put your backs into it! Get these birds alive!
:''[The sailors are stealing their children]''
:'''Gilbert''': You can't do this! We're never going to let you! ''[to the parents]'' Alright, guys, follow me!
:''[The penguins all jump into the sea, ready for battle]''
:'''Poacher #1''': These pests. I'll teach them.
:''[The first poacher shoots at the water. Gilbert jumps up and tackles the first poacher. The first poacher throws Gilbert back into the water. Scamper jumps up and tackles the first poacher. Splash!]''
:'''Steele's Musher''': Nonsense! What have we got here? Let's go!
:'''Captain''': What? Oh! Keep below decks, hurry up! Close the hatches!
:''[The iceberg lands and a huge tsunami tips the ship over, as all the crew falls off the ship and into the ocean. The poachers are eventually perished]''
:'''Narrator''': The echoes from the rifle shots had caused the enormous icy cliffside to give room. The giant tidal wave that was created destroyed everything in its path, except of course, the penguins.
:'''Steele's Musher''': ''[after a large wave destroys the ship and rocks the waters]'' Don't worry, Cowboy, a little water never hurt the penguins.
:''[The penguins return to land]''
:'''Narrator''': The penguins swiftly returned to their land to discover, a little to their surprise, that they were all unharmed.
:'''Scamper''': Hi, Cowboy!
:'''Narrator''': The scientists felt deep disgrace for the greed of his fellow man. He hoped that the work he had done during the summer at the scientific outpost would help to protect these gentle penguins.
:'''Steele's Musher''': Well, Cowboy, these sailors brought it upon themselves. Their own guns turned against them this time, you lucky penguins. They live another year without being harmed by men.
:''[After a few months, the three penguins have eventually grown into complete grown adults. Scamper and Snowflake's faces are now one solid color, and they have grown taller. They are all mourning the deaths of the penguins that sacrifice themselves in the battle against the poachers]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': We were all lucky to escape with our lives in the battle against the bad men.
:''[The penguins all bow their heads in solemn despair]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': Soon it will be dark and cold again, but we have to look forward to next year, we will need a new leader. We'll need someone very brave and has an adventurous spirit. That's why I plan to nominate Scamper!
:'''Scamper''': Who, me?
:''[The other penguins agree with this idea. Being the son of our previous leader, and having such an adventurous spirit as his can prove useful]''
:'''Mr. Feather''': Yes, I have appointed many of our leaders and I know that you'll do a best job.
:'''Louie''': We know that you can count on Scamper!
:'''Snowflake''': Oh, Scamper, I'm so proud of you!
:'''Gracie''': This is a wonderful fact, Scamper.
:'''Scamper''': Louie, what about you? Can you stay and help me?
:'''Louie''': You'll manage alright. I have my own home to find. Farewell, Scamper!
:''[He leaves, and walks off into the grand unknown]''
:'''Penguins''': Farewell, Louie!
:'''Narrator''': It was the ending of one time and the beginning of another. The season of dark and cold once again came upon Antarctica. The scientists returned to their homes. Louie set out to find his family while Scamper led his flock of penguins back to the ocean to spend the long winter as they always had in the protection and abundance of the sea.

'''{{w|Augustus Taber Murray}}''' (1866–1940) was an American classical philologist and translator and a Quaker minister. He was Professor of Greek at Stanford University for forty years.
== Quotes ==
* He who would know [[Homer]] must approach him with an open mind and lend himself to the guidance of the poet himself. He must not come to the study of the poems with a preconceived notion of the processes by which they have come into being, or of philological or archaeological criteria for determining the relative age of this episode or of that. The reconstructed ''Iliads'' are all figments of the imagination; the existent poem is a tangible fact. To this extent the unbiassed student starts as a "unitarian." If he but yields himself to the spell of the poem, he will become the more confirmed in his faith; and though he may find much of the learning of the world arrayed against him, yet he will none the less be standing in a goodly company of those whom the [[Muse]] has loved, and will himself have heard the voice of the goddess and looked upon her face.
** From the Introduction to ''The Iliad'', [https://archive.org/details/iliadmurray01homeuoft/page/xiv/mode/2up vol. 1], [[w:Loeb Classical Library|LCL]] 39 (1924), pp. xiv–xv

== Quotes ==
=== ''The Odyssey'' (1918) ===
* Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. Many were the men whose cities he saw and whose mind he learned, aye, and many the woes he suffered in his heart upon the sea, seeking to win his own life and the return of his comrades. Yet even so he saved not his comrades, though he desired it sore, for through their own blind folly they perished—fools, who devoured the kine of Helios Hyperion; but he took from them the day of their returning. Of these things, goddess, daughter of Zeus, beginning where thou wilt, tell thou even unto us.
** Bk. 1, l. 1
=== ''The Iliad'' (1924) ===
* He who would know [[Homer]] must approach him with an open mind and lend himself to the guidance of the poet himself.

** Introduction <!-- pp. xiv–xv -->
* The wrath do thou sing, O goddess, of Peleus’ son, Achilles, that baneful wrath which brought countless woes upon the Achaeans, and sent forth to Hades many valiant souls of warriors, and made themselves to be a spoil for dogs and all manner of birds; and thus the will of Zeus was being brought to fulfilment;—sing thou thereof from the time when at the first there parted in strife Atreus’ son, king of men, and goodly Achilles.

------
==Season 1==
===''Birthday Police / Paper's Big Lie [1.01]''===
:'''Rock''': Get ready. 'Cause we're about to go on an adventure.
:'''Paper''': There will be twists. There will be turns.
:'''Scissors''': But if we stick together, ''[his sunglasses shine]'' I promise… we will complete this maze for ages five and under!
:'''Rock''': Let's get the cat to the cat food!
:'''Paper''': Yeah!
:'''Scissors''': We got this.
''[The Birthday Police Car speakers start playing a Rock and Roll version of "Happy Birthday"]''
'''Speaker''': ''[sings]'' Happy Birthday to you.
'''Rock''': ''[screams]'' I love this song!
'''Speaker''': ''[continues singing]'' Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday to you!
''[Officer Wishowski aims the Confetti Cannon at the trio]''
'''Scissors''': Confetti Cannon! I can't see!
''[Paper coughs as the trio wipe the confetti off their bodies]''
'''Rock & Scissors''': Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they both fall to the floor]'' Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they fall to the floor again]'' Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they fall to the floor a third time and Paper's machine got knocked over]''
'''Paper''': ''[frustrated]'' What the heck are you doing?!
'''Scissors''': Trying to do a jump jump kick.
'''Rock''': You know, from video games. When your second jump is in the air, then you do a really cool kick.
''[Rock and Scissors try to do it again but they fall to the floor once again]''
'''Paper''': Somehow you two are dumber together.
'''Scissors''': ''[gets back up]'' Or we're smarter together.
'''Rock''': ''[also gets back up]'' Got it. ''[he and Scissors try to high five each other but they slap their faces and fall to the floor the final time]''
===''Pogo Sticks / Car Wash [1.02]''===
:''[The trio are doing meditation poses until they're interrupted by thumping sounds from the fourth floor]''
:'''Rock''': What the heck was that?!
:'''Scissors & Paper''': ''[darkly]'' The Rat Bros.
:''[They show up at the Rat Bros' apartment on the fourth floor]''
:'''Logan''': ''[answers the door; smugly]'' 'Sup, losers?
:'''Rock''': Losers?
:'''Paper''': Come on.
:'''Scissors''': Man, you're cool.
:'''Paper''': What is going on in there?!
:'''Logan''': Oh, we're doing pogo tricks, brah. ''[shows the trio his brothers: Brody, Brogan and Derf, on their pogo sticks]'' We're hosting a super cool pogo party this Sunday. You're welcome to come, except… oh, that's right…you don't have pogo sticks.
:'''Rat Bros''': Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro.
:''[Brody closes the door on the trio with his pogo stick; back at their apartment]''
:'''Paper''': ''[frustrated]'' Ugh! I hate those Rat Bros, yet, I care so much about what they think of me.
:'''Scissors''': We have to get pogo sticks. If we don't, we won't be cool.
===''Weekend Story / Putty [1.03]''===
:'''Pencil''': Skydiving? Wow, Paper. I was just about to be your girlfriend, but not anymore, you boring turkey! ''[pulls a lever, causing Paper to eject and laughs maniacally]''
:
:
:'''Pencil #1''': No conflict pirates?
:'''Pencil #2''': Swords as decoration?
:'''Pencil #3''': You wear glasses?
:'''Paper''': ''You'' wear glasses?
:'''Pencil #3''': Yeah, but I wear them as well.
:''[The Pencil clones all press a button together, causing Paper to eject and laugh diabolically]''
:
:'''Paper''': You can run, but you can't fly! ''[laughs evilly; activating his drone]''
===''Hide and Seek / The First Lou Episode [1.04]''===
:'''Scissors''': ''[dramatic]'' You think you can hide from me?! Well, you're wrong because I… will… seek you! ''[playfully]'' Ready or not, here I come! ''[annoyed]'' Rock, you're behind the lamp. You're really bad at this game.
:''[Rock notices and sighs sadly]''
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Paper''': Rock, I need your help to find Scissors.
:'''Rock''': You have to find me first. ''[giggles]''
:'''Paper''': I mean, you're wearing camouflage against the blue wall.
:'''Rock''': ''[notices]'' Okay, I'll do it. But only if I can keep playing.
:'''Paper''': Sure. Go nuts.
:''[Rock cartwheels back to the camouflage wall and sighs sadly]''
:'''Rock''': I am not good at this game.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[The trio are knitting a friendship blanket together while singing a song when they hear a banging sound from the door]''
:'''Lou''': ''[off-screen]'' It's Lou. Let me in.
:'''Scissors''': Shoot, it's the landlord!
:'''Paper''': Don't answer it. I don't want to deal with that pile of garbage.
:'''Rock''': Paper! He's not that bad.
:'''Paper''': No, I mean, he's literally trash.
:''[Rock opens the door, revealing Lou, a grumpy landlord standing in the doorway]''
:'''Rock''': Lou, can you please put on pants?
:'''Lou''': Pants? What am I, rich? You'd think I work on Wall Street? Oh, look at me. I wear pants and own a sports team. Why don't I buy a Lamborghini, too, wear that around my legs?
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Lou''': ''[as the end credits roll]'' Look at all these Hollywood phonies. Oh, Bob. Bob pronounces it "croi-ssant." Very annoying. Kurt, he's a fancy guy! Drinks seltzer! What are you, not getting enough free air? You got to pay to drink it? And let me tell you something about Nickelodeon, and I won't let them censor this! They... ''[a card sequence reading, '''"Oops! Please stand by"''' appears]'' I hope you like this episode, 'cause now, they get a lot worse!
===''The Susan / Eyebrows [1.05]''===
:'''Scissors''': The Susan is right.
:'''Rock''': The Susan is always right.
:'''Paper''': Well, this is the first time The Susan has talked, remember?
:'''Rock''': We're sorry.
:'''Scissors''': We should have never changed you.
:'''Paper''': Can you forgive us?
:
:
:
:
:
:'''Rock''': ''[pacing back and forth]'' What am I gonna do about this audition?! Without my eyebrows, no one'll read my emotions!
:'''Paper''': You seem very calm about this.
:'''Rock''': No, I'm not! I'm freaking out!
:'''Paper''': I can't-uh, do you need a snack? Are you cold? Did you slam your hand in a new or possibly old car door? ''[Rock draws angry eyebrows on two notepads and puts them on his forehead]'' Oh, oh, oh, you're upset. Don't worry. I think I can help you with my robotics invention. I'll make you… a pair of… animatronic eyebrows!
===''Scissors Gets a Job [1.06]''===
:'''Rock''': You made money by faking injuries and suing people? That's terrible.
:'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly]'' Oh, moral Rock doesn't like making his money through fraudulent lawsuits.
:'''Paper''': Broke or not, you still have to pay for your pizza. Maybe it's time you stop being a bum and get a job.
:'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly once again]'' Oh, judgmental Paper calls me a bum just 'cause I fit the definition of one.
:'''Paper''': Why don't you ever wanna find work? Is it because you're not really good at anything?
:'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Hey!
:'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors is good at lot of things, like, uh, sunglasses.
:'''Scissors''': Forget you guys. I'll find work when I want to.
:'''Paper''': Well, until you do, you ''can't'' have pizza with us.
:'''Scissors''': ''[shocked]'' What?!
:'''Paper''': In fact, every time you walk through that door, Rock and I will be eating pizza until it motivates you to get a job.
:'''Rock''': Awesome!
:'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' Fine! You just watch. I'll have pizza money in no time. ''[bumps his leg on the table]'' Ow, my leg or-
:'''Judge''': In the case of Scissors vs. Paper and his dangerous coffee table, the court rules in favor of Paper.
:'''Scissors''': ''[rips the bandages off himself]'' Dang it! Alright. I'll get a job.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': I've been fired from every job I've tried, and this was kind of my last option. But I guess I'll go home and tell my roommates they were right about me. I'm a loser.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Paper''': ''[weakly and stuffed with a huge belly]'' Scissors, did you… ''[stomach grumbles while he clutches it]'' Oh. …get a job yet?
:'''Rock''': ''[pushes Paper aside, also stuffed with a huge belly]'' Please say yes.
:'''Scissors''': Guys, I can't talk right now. I'm hiding out in a chamomile field.
:'''Paper''': Oh, of course you are. Then you leave us no choice. ''[pulls a giant pizza pie]'' We're going to eat the most decadent pizza ever created.
:'''Rock''': No!
:'''Paper''': The Ultimate Meat Huggers Double Stuffed Deep Dishanator with 50 pounds… of cheese. ''[Rock starts crying as he eats a slice while Scissors looks confused]'' It's so… ''[grabs his stomach while groaning as it grumbles]'' ...good.
:'''Rock''': ''[whimpers as Paper eats another slice]'' Oh, there's pizza underneath the pizza! ''[he and Paper eat more slices until they fall on their sides and holding their bellies in pain]''
:'''Scissors''': ''[gets an idea]'' Wait. I know what I'm good at! ''[runs away, dropping his phone]''
:'''Paper''': Oh, Rock, he ran away. We're gonna come find you, Scissors. We just want to have… ''[his stomach gurgles; groans]'' …as much fun… Oh, no. …as we're having!
:'''Rock''': No more pizza! NO MORE PIZZA!!!!!
===''The Arctic / Prank War [1.07]''===
:'''Paper''': Why is it so hot in here?
:'''Rock''': Scissors crank the heater up so he can show off his new tank top.
:'''Scissors''': Check it out! It's a monster truck with enormous biceps. It's perfect for tough guys like me. I even had them print my motto on the back. '''''"If you want the 'ceps, you do the reps."'''''
:'''Paper''': You don't ''do'' the reps, and why are you in a tank top? It's winter. ''[opens the window blinds, revealing the winter sky and wind]'' You're gonna overload the heater like this. It can't handle… ''[the heater suddenly breaks down and the cold air breezes into the apartment; sighs in annoyance]'' Without me, you guys would not survive.
:''[The trio stand outside of Lou's apartment]''
:'''Lou''': I'm ''raising'' the rent!
:'''Rock''': Lou!
:'''Paper''': Hold on!
:'''Scissors''': Give us a second!
:'''Paper''': Listen, our heater broke and we need you to fix it.
:'''Lou''': ''[sarcastically]'' Oh, fancy, boys, you "set" the temperature in your apartment. You don't got to turn on a hot plate and rub it on your bum.
:'''Rock''': You don't got it either.
:'''Lou''': Well, I can't help you. I'm on my way to Landlord Con. It's a meetup for landlords where we talk about plumbing and famous literature.
:'''Scissors''': Name one book.
:'''Lou''': Fine, it's just plumbing. Anyway, I'll be back in three days. Mittens, you're the new landlord while I'm gone.
:''[Mittens walks out of the doorway and meows to them as if he was saying "I'm ''raising'' the rent!"]''
:'''Rock''': Mittens!
:'''Paper''': Come on!
:'''Scissors''': That's so unfair! ''[as he and his friends return to their apartment]'' It'll be fine. We could survive without heat for three days.
:''[They enter their apartment and shockingly find it all covered in snow and icicles]''
:'''Paper''': Well, we can go stay with my mom.
:'''Rock''': New adventure! Rock, Paper, Scissors move in with Paper's mom!
:'''Paper''': ''[trying to open the door, but only to find that it's quickly frozen; grunting]'' It's frozen shut! We're trapped!
:'''Scissors''': By the way, fun fact about monster trucks-- they don't normally have biceps.
:'''Paper''': ''[groans annoyingly]'' Well, we're off to a great start. We can't call for help because our phones are frozen. ''[to Scissors]'' You won't put on a jacket because you keep saying you "run hot."
:'''Scissors''': ''[shivering; resisting the cold temperature]'' T-t-tough guys like me don't g-get cold.
:'''Paper''': And Rock is not taking this seriously.
<hr width="y50%">
:'''Paper''': ''[wearily while making an igloo]'' I just need to finish this igloo. That'll keep us safe.
:'''Rock''': Oh, here's a good one. If you were a warm, nutritious food, what warm, nutritious food would you be? ''[igloo explodes, covering them in snow]'' Do you prefer the hot or the cold?
:'''Scissors''': Fun fact about me, I actually run…
:'''Paper''': ''[snapping]'' Shut up! Shut up! Ah, I hate this! I am tired of you two being incapable, and I hate always being the savior of this group!
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': What'll it take to get you to join? You want money, gifts, someone to hug you and say, "Good job, son"? Wait, that's what I want.
:'''Paper''': Look, pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest!
:'''Scissors''': ''[to Rock]'' How funny would it be if that wrecking ball would hit him right now?
:'''Pencil''': ''[bursting into their apartment]'' Guys, the Rat Bros asked me to join their side in the prank war!
:'''Rock''': ''[shocked] WHAT?!'' Wait, I actually don't know how to feel about this yet. Keep talking.
:'''Pencil''': I'm so excited! Most people don't know this about me, but I'm a huge trickster. One time, I told a coworker something was made of polycarbonate when it was actually made of polythylmethacrylate!
:'''Paper''': ''[chuckles]'' Oh, you are bad.
<hr width="50%">
:''[The trio are hiding behind a bush in the park, watching the Rat Bros weightlifting]''
:'''Scissors''': Okay. What's the plan, new guy?
:'''Paper''': I say we sneak up and blast them with my water balloon cannon. Now, Rock! Push the button!
:'''Rock''': ''[tries to push the button but the laser zaps him causing him to dance uncontrollably]'' I'm trying but I can't stop dancing!
:'''Scissors''': I'll do it. ''[the laser zaps him; his body starts to inflate like a balloon and floats away]'' What is- Rock, grab me! GRAB ME! ''[holds onto the cannon]''
:'''Paper''': What the heck is going- ''[the laser zaps him; screams as his neck extends like a giraffe and his giraffe-like head falls to the ground]'' Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!
:''[The Rat Bros walk up to them]''
:'''Rock''': Oh, the party won't stop!
:'''Logan''': 'Sup, boys? Were you planning to blast us with your secret weapon? Well, ''we'' have a secret weapon too.
:'''Pencil''': ''[popping up from a nearby bush]'' I made an atomic transmogrification laser! It can alter molecular structure in really crazy ways! Watch. ''[zaps Scissors' head, causing it to also inflate]''
:'''Scissors''': My head! My head is a balloon! ''[floats away]''
:'''Paper''': Okay, this might be a bit harder than I thought.
:'''Scissors''': Sharp branch! Sharp branch!
:''[Scissors' nose is poked by a branch and deflates around while the Rat Bros laugh]''
<hr width="50%">
:'''Logan''': ''[wakes up when he hears loud crashing sounds]'' Did you guys hear something? ''[his brothers wake up, also hearing the sound; they walk over to Scissors, disguised as a graffiti painting, then walk over to Rock, mistaking him for a smart device]'' Smart device, play smooth jazz. ''[Rocks plays some music, but not smooth jazz; walks over to Paper holding a sign saying: "I'm a TV"; realizing something]'' Wait a second. ''[turns back to Rock]'' That's Afro-Cuban jazz!
:''[Rock smiles sheepishly]''
:'''Paper''': GRAB THE LASER!
<hr width="50%">
:''[The Rat Bros have tied up the trio to chairs for sneaking into their apartment and trying to steal Pencil's transmogrification laser]''
:'''Scissors''': ''[to Brody, Brogan and Derf]'' Hey, I know we're in a prank war right now, but I just wanna say I really respect you guys. Prank! You're trashed! Ha, ha! We got one, guys. We got one.
:'''Pencil''': Theft, Paper? That was your plan? You know, I expected something that basic from Scissors, and maybe Rock, 'cause I don't know much about him.
:'''Rock''': We should hang out more.
:'''Pencil''': We should! But come on, man, up your game. It's like, I'm Issac Newton and you're Godfried-Willem Raes.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': ''[interrupting the Prank War award ceremony while in a mech suit]'' Stop that crowning!
:'''Woman''': What? Stop the crowning?
:'''Paper''': ''[walks up on the stage]'' Oh, you thought this was over? ''[snickers]'' Well, ''prank! [Scissors grabs Derf from his seat; stands on the podium]'' Ladies and gentlemen, answer me this: How can the Rat Bros accept the prank crown if the Rat Bros aren't all on this planet? ''[Derf is then strapped to a rocket]'' Yes! Do it, Scissors! Wedgie that Rat Bro into space! Look at me now, Pencil! I'm Issac Newton! I'm Issac Newton! ''[laughs maniacally, shaking the podium]''
:''[Rock, Pencil, the Rat Bros, the audience and Paper all watch as Scissors is preparing to fire the missile and send Derf off into space]''
:'''Scissors''': ''[suddenly having a change of heart]'' No. ''[deactivates the rocket and sets Derf down]''
:'''Paper''': What?
:'''Scissors''': No more prank war! ''[the audience gasps]'' I just had a huge revelation. Pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society.
:'''Paper''': Wait, that's what I said.
:'''Scissors''': Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them.
:'''Paper''': ''[baffled]'' Is he doing my speech?
:'''Scissors''': As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest!
:''[The audience clap and cheer, and the Rat Bros whistle]''
:'''Rock''': Whoo!
<hr width="50%">
:'''Logan''': ''[kneels down to Scissors]'' Good job, son. ''[he and Scissors hug as the latter sheds tears of happiness]''
===''Key Limes / Six Pieces of Turkey [1.08]''===
:'''Scissors''': ''[pukes in the trash can and moans]'' Oh, man. Did you see me driving back there? I was cool as a cu- ''[pukes in the trash again]'' …cumber.
===''The Other Rock Paper Scissors / The Astonishing Catalina [1.09]''===
:'''Better Rock, Paper, & Scissors''': Hello!
:'''Scissors''': Oh, boy.
:'''Better Rock''': Come in, come in!
:'''Paper''': Huh. Your place looks similar to ours.
:'''Scissors''': Although, I see you don't see have a TV.
:'''Better Scissors''': Why would we need a TV? We're too entertained by our friends.
:'''Rock, Paper & Scissors''': Ugh.
:'''Better Rock''': Thanks for bringing these over. Funny enough, we just got some of your mail today, too.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Paper''': I don't understand.
:'''Scissors''': You're smarter than us, you're nicer than us, you're at least 15 other things better than us. What's wrong with you guys?!
:'''Better Scissors''': You tell us. We're always willing to grow.
:''[Scissors yells in rage]''
:'''Better Paper''': Hey, you seem upset. Why don't we all go to the couch and talk about our feelings?
:''[The better trio fly back to the couch]''
:'''Rock''': You fly too?!
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': We can live like this.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Catalina''': Why won't you let me do the trick?!
:'''Scissors''': Because it makes me feel uncool!
:'''Catalina''': What are you talking about? You're effortlessly cool! The only way I can feel cool is by doing magic!
:'''Scissors''': I find that hard to believe, 'cause everything about you is cool! You're stylish and confident and turn horses into dragons!
:'''Catalina''': But you never blink an eye! I've done so many horrible things to you and you always say you can live like this!
:'''Scissors''': YOU'RE THE COOLEST PERSON I KNOW!
:'''Catalina''': THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT ''YOU!''
===''Pencil Comes Over / The Wind [1.10]''===
:'''Paper''': I can't believe that worked.
:'''Scissors''': I know. It went exactly like I-''[pukes on the ground]'' Oh, whatever.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Sandpaper''': You're the vomit boy?
:'''Scissors''': That was one time and it hasn't happened si- ''[pukes on the ground again]'' Oh, why?
===''The Holiday Picture / Scrubs [1.11]''===
:'''Rock''': Guys! We got more holiday cards!
:'''Paper''': ''[disappointed]'' Man, everyone looks so perfect in these photos-- Lou, the Rat Bros, even Crazy-Eyed Pirate.
:'''Rock''': Who?
:'''Scissors''': I don't know. We met a lot of wacky characters. It's hard to keep track.
:'''Paper''': Why can't ''we'' take a good holiday picture? Every year, something goes wrong. There was that year Rock's head got stuck in a honey jar, the year we had broccoli in our teeth, the year we were all 8-bit, the year Scissors went Super Saiyan.
:'''Scissors''': That year was awesome!
:'''Paper''': And the year Rock dressed up as some old cartoon character.
:''[The last photo shows Rock in his Rocko getup from [[w:List of Rocko's Modern Life characters|Rocko's Modern Life]]]''
:'''Rock''': You didn't enjoy ''"Rocko, Paper, Scissors"?''
:'''Paper''': Eh, it was okay.
:'''Scissors''': I liked that show. The main guy was always like… ''[imitating Rocko's voice]'' "Hey, mate, I'm Rocko, and I have a dog named Spunky. He-he." ''[normally]'' Or something like that. I don't do a very good impression.
:'''Paper''': I just want ''one'' perfect holiday photo.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Rock''': Wait. Where ''is'' your chain?
:'''Scissors''': Oh! Toast Ghost is covering it! Aw, man! Now the caption doesn't make any sense!
<hr width="50%">
:''[The trio are eating at a cafe while Paper is dressed in medical scrubs]''
:'''Scissors''': ''[bitter with jealousy]'' So, we're just not gonna talk about Paper's clothes.
:'''Paper''': Whatever do you mean?
:'''Rock''': Guys, let's be peaceful.
:'''Scissors''': I mean, you're wearing scrubs. You are not a doctor, and yet, you are wearing the clothes a doctor wears.
:'''Paper''': Oh, is that what these are? I thought they were pajamas.
:'''Scissors''': And the stethoscope?
:'''Paper''': I thought it was a necklace.
:'''Scissors''': Yeah? You wear necklaces now?
:'''Rock''': Scissors, take a breath.
:'''Scissors''': This is insane! He's so desperate for respect, he put on scrubs so people think he's a doctor. Well, no one's buying it, Paper!
:'''Orange-haired Kid''': Wow, a real-life hero! ''[offers Paper to sign his autograph]'' How can I be a doctor one day?
:'''Paper''': I'll say this, it's more than just putting on the clothes.
:'''Scissors''': That's literally all he did!
:'''Rock''': Let's ask ''why'' this upsets you.
:'''Scissors''': Rock, you went on one meditation retreat, you're not some wise, old sage. ''[points to Paper]'' And ''he's'' not a doctor! I bet he can't even tell you what hospital he works at!
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': ''[grumbles annoyingly]'' I'm gonna get more respect than ''you,'' Paper. And I know someone's society respects even ''more'' than doctors. ''[walks off and comes back, wearing a basketball jersey]''
:'''Paper''': What are you wearing?
:'''Scissors''': A basketball jersey… Which I guess makes me a professional basketball player.
:'''Paper''': Oh, please. You really think people are going to believe that you're…
:'''Woman''': Ronald Jamison!
<hr width="50%">
:'''Orange-haired Kid''': ''[sitting with three humanoid children pair of scissors]'' What the heck is going on?
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': Come on, Paper, I'm really hurt! Just admit you're not a doctor!
:'''Paper''': Only if ''you'' admit you're ''not'' Ronald Jamison!
:'''Scissors''': Why don't I admit myself to the hospital…where you don't work!
===''Bowling / The Character Quiz [1.12]''===
:'''Rock''': Want to tell your problems to a rock you never met?
:'''Bowling Owner''': ''[sighs]'' It's that Scissors guy. He's putting me out of business. See? At my bowling alley, a perfect score gets you a free tub of curly fries and a free game. And Scissors got so good at bowling, he hasn't paid for a game in 2 years.
:'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors gets carried away when he finds a deal. It tends to turn him into a cartoon villain.
:''[Scissors laughs deviously while wearing an evil mustache made of curly fries]''
<hr width="50%">
:'''Rock''': ''[to Scissors]'' Listen, Scissors. It would really help the owner if you started paying for curly fries.
:'''Scissors''': Oh, naive Rock, always trying to help. Don't you know how life works? You don't win by helping. You win by taking advantage, and exploiting deals for all... they're... worth! ''[laughs maniacally as lightning bolts flash behind him]'' Man, these deals make me a maniac.
:'''Rock''': I like to believe that if you reach out your arms to others, their arms will reach back out to you.
:'''Scissors''': You also believe the Earth is heart-shaped. I can't trust anything you say.
:'''Rock''': Then how about this? I challenge you to a game of bowling. If I win, you have to start paying for curly fries. But if you win, you get the bowling alley.
:'''Scissors''': Seriously? I mean, yeah, of course. That's a very uneven deal.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' I was awful back there. I know I'll probably just find another deal and do this all again.
:'''Rock''': Don't worry, Scissors. I found one deal I do want you to take advantage of. ''[hands him a letter]''
:'''Scissors''': ''[reads the letter]'' '''''"Buy five sessions, get the sixth free!"''''' ''[later cut to him talking to a therapist]'' I will take advantage of this therapy deal. I will exploit it to the ends of the Earth! ''[lightning bolts flash behind him once again]''
:'''Therapist''': And where do you think that comes from?
:'''Scissors''': ''[starts crying]'' I don't know!
<hr width="50%">
:''[Paper and Scissors both got Stephernie from taking a character quiz from their favorite sitcom: "The Gang's All Here" and Rock ends up getting Creepo the Stinkboy]''
:'''Creepo''': I hang out in abandoned petting zoos. My favorite part of the popsicle is the stick. I hiss at passing cars. ''[hisses at a car that just passed him]'' I have a lot of chest hair in this jar! ''[holds up a jar of his chest hair]''
:'''Dave''': Creepo, why can't you be more like me? Dave.
:'''Rock''': See?
:'''Logan''': ''[enters the trio's apartment]'' I heard you guys got Stephernie. ''I'' got Stephernie!
:'''Brody''': I got Fire Hydrant.
:'''Lou''': ''[sliding in]'' I got Dave!
:'''Scissors''': Sure.
:'''Logan''': I see that.
:'''Paper''': Me too.
:'''Rock''': How? How do you see that?
:'''Logan''': Hey, some Stephernies and I are having a party to watch the 1,000th episode. Now that we're all Stephernies, I'm willing to put aside our differences if you want to come. ''[he, Paper, and Scissors all hold hands and squeal in joy]''
<hr width="50%">
:''[Paper and Scissors show up at the Rat Bros' apartment for a private Stephernie party while carrying pizza]''
:'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' Come in! I see you brought pizza, as a Stephernie would. Please, put it on the table and join the party.
:'''Scissors''': Wow, check out all these other Stephernies. Baron Von Snootsberg, Robot Executive.
:'''Paper''': Sandpaper, you're a Stephernie, too?
:'''Sandpaper''': Of course, we're both career women, and we both have a secret love of ribbon dancing. ''[gasps]'' Oh, no. Secret's out.
:'''Scissors''': ''[noticing something]'' Wait a minute! Someone brought pepperoni pizza, when everyone knows Stephernie's favorite topping is an entire Thanksgiving dinner! Someone here is '''''not''''' a Stephernie! ''[the others gasp in shock]'' No one's going anywhere, even if it takes all week, we will find the imposter, and when we do, there will be a severe punishment.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': I will find this imposter by testing all of you on details only a true Stephernie would know. ''[to Sandpaper]'' What's Stephernie's last name?!
:'''Sandpaper''': Stephernie.
:'''Scissors''': Good. ''[to Baron Von Snootsberg]'' Walk like Stephernie! ''[Baron Von Snootsberg makes monkey moves around the room and hooting like monkey]'' Good. ''[to Female Robot Executive]'' In season 16, episode 2, what does Stephernie say when she arrives at her younger sister's lake house?
:'''Female Robot Executive''': Oh, I don't know. You guys are going to kill me. I'm the fraud at the party!
:''[Paper sighs in relief]''
:'''Scissors''': That's exactly what she said.
:'''Paper''': ''[nervously]'' Uh, I have to go to the bathroom… ''[everyone looks at him, suspicious]'' in a Stephernie way. ''[walks to the Rat Bros' bathroom like a monkey]''
:'''Female Robot Executive''': Yes, that checks out.
:'''Scissors''': Yeah, very Stephernie.
:'''Rock''': ''[on the phone with Paper]'' You snuck into a Stephernie party?! That is shameful behavior.
:'''Paper''': ''[hiding in the bathroom; on the phone with Rock, pacing back and forth]'' You just said you're breaking into a TV studio!
:'''Rock''': For my identity, Paper! My identity is at stake!
:'''Paper''': Look, I've never seen an episode. You gotta tell me everything you know about Stephernie.
:'''Rock''': Well, she's a pretty simple character. She has a degree in biochemistry, sleeps upside down, and fought in six wars.
:'''Paper''': What is this show?
:'''Scissors''': ''[standing up against the bathroom door, having to have heard everything]'' Not a Stephernie, huh?
:'''Paper''': ''[pleading for mercy]'' I'm sorry! I just wanted to be a part of something! Don't punish me!
:'''Scissors''': ''[kneels down]'' Who even are you? Brobby, the Wizard, Cheesy the Iguana?
:'''Paper''': Seriously, what is this show?
<hr width="50%">
:'''Wizard''': Listen, Fire Hydrant, I'm your brother. And I don't think this man you're dating is right for you.
:'''Fire Hydrant''': I can't help it. I like my men like I like my fires… Smokin'!
<hr width="50%">
:'''Creepo''': Hey, pal. ''You're'' the Creepo here. Here's your popsicle stick and your chest hair.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': I'm sorry, Paper. I should have never tried to dunk you in a vat of hot lava just for not identifying with the same fictional TV character.
:'''Paper''': And ''I'm'' sorry that-- ''[realizes]'' actually, my thing wasn't that bad.
===''Potato / The Fart Joke Debate [1.13]''===
:'''Paper''': It's "The Paper Show"! Get ready for a one-man show starring Paper and his many talents. ''[Logan gets up and walks away]'' The greatest juggling act you've ever seen in three... two... ''[throws some things which are deadly and screams]'' Hey, dummy. Want to sing as I drink milk? ''[drinks milk and notices a dummy is not singing]'' No. Gonna do some improv for you. I just need a word to get started.
:'''Scissors''': Jacket!
:'''Paper''': Can I get another word?
:'''Pencil''': Circus!
:'''Paper''': Can I get a fruit that's round and orange?
:'''Rock''': Kumquat!
:''[Paper rolls his eyes, thinking of another plan to entertain his friends]''
:'''Paper''': ''[rapping]'' When I say "Paper", you say "rules". Paper-
:'''Rock, Scissors, Pencil, & Lou''': No.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Paper''': Eh. I just don't like fart jokes.
:''[everyone gasps in horror]''
:'''Rock''': What did you say?
:'''Paper''': I don't think they're funny.
:''[everyone gasps again]''
:'''Scissors''': Not even Long Squeakers?
:'''Pencil''': Butt Trumpets?
:'''Rock''': Wet and Nasties?
:'''Paper''': Ew, what? No.
:'''Scissors''': ''[to Pencil and Rock]'' Guys, drop any plans you had. It's time we prove to Paper that fart jokes… ''are'' funny.
===''Paper's Secret Weapon / The Sled Hill [1.14]'' ===
:'''Paper''': ''[mumbling to himself while working]'' Stupid Euclid. Easy to be smart when you were alive. There were only, like, three numbers back then.
:'''Scissors''': Hey, Paper. What are you working on?
:'''Paper''': ''[turns around with an angry face]'' I did it. You didn't believe in me, but I created a tabletop fusion reactor that can produce unlimited clean energy!
:'''Rock''': Whoa.
:'''Scissors''': Now this is a winner. The judges are gonna love it.
:'''Paper''': Yeah, and then I'm gonna hurricane kick them in the face! ''[karate kicks a wall and runs off]''
:'''Rock''': We might have made him a little too angry.
:'''Scissors''': Yeah. If he kicks a judge, he's definitely gonna lose. Then he'll be sad and angry.
:'''Rock''': ''[to Paper who's stomping, kicking, and growling]'' Paper, your invention is amazing. I'm proud of you now, and always.
:''[A rainbow appears from his head and into Paper's head reverting him to his normal happy self]''
:'''Paper''': Thanks, Rock. I really appreciate that.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Paper''': Scissors, I forbid you from sledding down that hill. It's a slippery slope ''straight'' to the emergency room. Also, don't add anything I didn't say during this flashback. I'm a big stick-in-the-mud, poopy-pants, poop-poop guy.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Rock''': ''[runs up to Scissors who's lying on the ground]'' Scissors, are you alright?
:'''Scissors''': ''[sits up]'' Oh, my arm.
:'''Rock''': ''[looks at Scissors' right arm]'' Looks okay to me. ''[sees his broken left arm]'' Oh, the ''broken'' arm.
:'''Scissors''': ''[whining]'' Rock, I can't move it. I think it's stuck like this.
:'''Rock''': Don't worry. I got a first aid kit from Chad's Medical School. ''[opens the case and springs pop out of it]'' It's also a comedy school.
:'''Scissors''': ''[groans]''
:'''Rock''': We gotta get Paper.
:'''Scissors''': No! You know Paper. He's gonna say, "I was right" like he always does, and turn it into a whole production. We just have to hide this from him until my arm heals. Are you with me?
:'''Rock''': I'm with you. ''[high fives Scissors, causing him to scream in pain and his arm starts throbbing]'' Oh, right. Your arm.
===''Scissors' Catapult / Pencil and Potato [1.15]''===
:'''Paper''': ''[tries to turn on the lamp but it doesn't work]'' Huh, bulb's dead. I should probably go to the store and get a new one. ''[he goes to the roof instead]'' However did I get here? Oh, perhaps Rock's right. It seems irresponsible to- ''[he catapults the lamp into the sky and laughs joyfully]'' I’M FINALLY ALIVE!!!! I got to find more stuff. ''[whistles but accidentally breaks a toaster]'' Whoops! Guess I gotta catapult this toaster. ''[accidentally breaks the chair]'' Oh, no! Can't sit on a broken chair… Guess I gotta catapult that too. ''[tries to push the fridge to make it fall]'' And is this fridge gonna fall? ''[straining]'' Is this… fridge… gonna… Ah, come on!
:'''Rock''': Paper, are you breaking things to justify catapulting them?
'''Future Kevin''': If you're not going to mow my lawn, I'll make ''you'' mow my lawn!
'''Future Scissors''': ''[while wearing a horse costume]'' You wouldn't hurt a horse, would you?<hr width="50%">
:'''Pencil''': But we hiked up this mountain together, and I don't know to get back home!
:'''Scissors''': There's no time, Pencil! There's no time for anything!
:'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub?
:'''Rock''': Flub-Bub wants to go to Lobster Fest.
:'''Paper''': Oh, there's definitely time for Lobster Fest.
:
:
:
:'''Potato''': Oh, this is bad. We're gonna miss Lobster Fest.
:
:
:
:
:'''Waitress''': I loved that helicopter ride, Flub-Bub. It was so romantic.
:''[Flub-Bub nods his head then tents his fingers waiting for something to say]''
:'''Rock''': Oh, no. He's running out of conversation.
:'''Scissors''': Quick! Feed him a line!
:
:'''Paper''': Uh… ''[touches his ear that is under a headset with his finger]'' Flub-Bub.
:
:
:'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub!
:'''Waitress''': ''[swoons]'' Oh, Flub-Bub.
:''[Rock, Paper and Scissors sigh in relief]''
:'''Scissors''': Good save, Paper. I think we just avoided a huge catastrophe.
:'''Flub-Bub''': ''[turns into a giant alien monster called a Flub-Bubby, causing the Waitress to scream and run away; in deep voice]'' Flub-Bubby!
:'''Rock''': Oh.
:'''Scissors''': Right.
:'''Paper''': Totally forgot about that.
===''Resolutions / Paper's Book Club [1.16]''===
:'''Scissors''': You know calculators are usually smaller than that, right? And don't run on someone shoveling in coal?
:'''Paper''': Whatever, it works.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': Ah, Paper's such a jerk. Making fun of me just 'cause I didn't do my resolution, and also forgot what it was. Well, I'll show him. I still have 12 hours to complete it, and prove I'm not a failure.
:'''Rock''': And I'm going to help you, because my resolution was to help as many people as I can with their resolutions.
:'''Scissors''': But isn't helping people what you normally do? I mean, your resolution could have just as easily been be a rock this year.
:'''Rock''': You know, you can be a jerk sometimes too.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Paper''': ''[talking about Scissors' resolution]'' January 1st: Scissors sees a poorly-translated Foreign film called ''"Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success"''.
:'''Buff Man''': I lift weight, prove I big success!
:'''Paper''': The resolution is made. January 2nd: Scissors buys every piece of gym equipment he can find and a giant tub of muscle powder. ''[Scissors tries to open the lid]'' But he's not strong enough to open the lid. January 3rd: Scissors eats an entire chocolate cake, feels badly about himself, and gives up on his resolution. And that's the end of the story. Although, there was a day in mid July where Scissors remembered the resolution and had a moment of renewed resolve. But then he ate another entire chocolate cake and felt terrible about himself.
:''[Scissors moans in disappointment]''
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': How am I so weak? I ate 50 raw eggs.
:'''Rock''': You did what?!
:''[Scissors queasily pukes in the toilet due to a bad pain in his stomach]''
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': Ugh, I'm gonna look like a fool! Paper makes me so mad I could just flip this… ''[tries to flip over the weight bench]'' well, maybe not the weight bench, but these tinier weights! ''[tries to flip them]'' Or at least this weight bench instruction manual! ''[tries to flip the manual; groans]'' How is this possible?!

:'''Convenient News Reporter''': This just in, multiple business owners are sad today, as they've had to close from all the free things they've given away to satisfy customer complaints. And as we all know, the only people who write complaints are whiny little poops. Here's a sketch of what such poops may or may not look like.
:''[A drawing sketch of Rock and Scissors is shown]''

<hr width="50%">
:'''Rock''': ''[attempting to return all the free stuff]'' I'm giving it back!

:'''Paper''': ''[barges into the apartment]'' Guys, I'm in trouble! My book club starts in 20 minutes, and I… ''[looks around at all the free stuff]'' have no idea what this is.
:'''Rock''': Scissors and I wrote complaints to get free things, but we took it too far, and now we have to return all this stuff we don't deserve. Clothes, phones. ''[A pink flamingo walks past them]'' I don't even know what we complained about to get that.
:'''Paper''': Wait. That's it! I don't need to understand the book. I just need to complain that it's ''bad,'' because people who complain are automatically viewed as right.
:'''Scissors''': See? We're right. Besides, everything we complained about is totally justified.
:'''Rock''': Really? Well, then why do we have all the heads from Easter Island?
<hr width="50%">
:'''Nickelodeon Executive''': Thanks for coming into the Nickelodeon offices today, Scissors. We brought you in because we received a complaint letter from, well, him.
:''[Rock sits next to her and glares at Scissors, revealing he's the one who wrote the letter]''
:'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Oh, you whiny little poop.
:'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[reading the letter] '''"Dear Nickelodeon… In your program, "Rock Paper Scissors", Scissors' behavior has been morally reprehensible."'''''
:'''Scissors''': Everyone's ''so'' sensitive.

:'''Scissors''': Yeah, that's what makes me fun.
:'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[finishes reading] '''"This is not a character who should be exposed to our children. Please do something immediately."''''' I'm sorry, but we're suspending you from the show for two weeks.

:'''Rock''': Happy International Rock Day!
:'''Paper''': International Rock Day? That's not a real holiday.
:'''Rock''': Sure, it is. Every July 13th, we throw rock beads… We hit rock piñatas… And we just generally rock out, especially Scissors.
:'''Scissors''': ''[leading a marching band]'' Whoo-hoo! I love this parade energy! Let's keep the party going!

:'''Rock''': ''[turning around in his chair, revealing himself]'' You bet it is!

:'''Rock''': Yeah, I'm the head of it, along with the representatives of National Pencil Day, National Potato Day, National Bubble-blowing Day, and of course, National Raspberry Cake Day.
:'''Raspberry Cake''': I'm cake.
:'''Paper''': ''[disbelieved]'' Good Lord. Anyway, I'd like a day, please.
:''[The representatives all laugh]''

:'''Pencil''': Yeah, each one of us has presented a case for why we deserve one.

:'''Wife Scissors''': Yes! It's like Chairman Scissors always says, "The world is a dark place. Helping leads to hurt."

:'''Wife Scissors''': Here, hand me some water. ''[Nice Scissors offers her a glass of water and she smacks it into his face]'' See what happens when you try to help?

:'''Rock''': ''[covered in glitter after singing a tune while getting mail]'' What just happened?
:'''Scissors''': I think someone sent you a glitter bomb.
:'''Rock''': ''[getting angry]'' Do you know how difficult it is to remove glitter? Who would do this to me? ''[sadly]'' Who would do this to me?! ''[furiously]'' WHO WOULD DO THIS TO ME?!
''[After Rock catches Paper with a fishing pole]''
'''Paper''': No! Please! Please!
'''Rock''': ''[holds up tape]'' It's folding time.

'''Rock''': ''[reveals the words on the tape saying "Gotcha"] [happy]'' Gotcha!
'''Paper''': What?
'''Scissors''': ''[runs up to him]'' Gotcha! Oh, man. We got you so good!
'''Paper''': What the heck is going on?
'''Rock''': We knew you did the glitter bomb the whole time.
'''Scissors''': So we thought it'd be funny if Rock pretended to be ''enraged'' by it and go on a crazy manhunt to scare you.
'''Paper''': What?!
'''Scissors''': Yeah, all of us were in on it. The mailman, Chad BrockChad, all the prisoners.
'''Rock''': ''[giggles]'' Pretty funny, huh, Paper?
'''Paper''': Are you insane? This isn't funny at all! I thought my life was in danger!
'''Scissors''': It's just a joke.
'''Paper''': I've been living Alaska for eight months! I bought a house here! I- ''[stammers]'' Look. I should have never tried to be funny, but you two shouldn't have either, so no more jokes. Okay? From now on, let's just all agree that none of us are funny.
'''Rock''': Yeah. I guess none of us are funny.
'''Scissors''': Not a one of us.

===''Diapers / R.O.V.E.R. [1.19]''===

:'''Paper''': You don't ''have'' a cool reputation.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': ''[after throwing all the diapers into the ocean as they start absorbing]'' Oh, no! I forgot how absorbent they are!
<hr width="50%">
:'''Paper''': Chad was right not to work with us. Our business was a huge failure.
:'''Scissors''': ''[sobbing]'' AND MINE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!
:'''Rock''': Yeah, we heard about that. ''[outside the apartment building, a giant diaper rolls down the street, passing by]'' It's okay, Scissors. I'm sure everyone will forget about this once a better diaper comes along.
:'''Scissors''': How could you make a better diaper? It would have to have Bluetooth, compatibility, be reversible, and get out the toughest stains, with half the calories! ''[Rock and Paper both gasp and take out their invention, believing he's signifying it]'' It would need to keep your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold, and I wouldn't want my face on it, and it'd had to have, I'll just randomly say, Paper's face… ''[Rock and Paper both sulk]'' Or Rock's.
===''Trash [1.20]''===
:'''Paper''': ''[sniffs an unpleasant smell]'' What is that smell?
:'''Scissors''': ''[looks at the garbage with some flies buzzing around]'' I think it's Rock.

:'''Scissors''': ''[waving his hand; dismissively]'' Yeah, yeah. I'll get to it.
:'''Paper''': No, do it now.
:'''Scissors''': I'll do it really soon.

:'''Scissors''': No, because I do not care about this.
:'''Paper''': Oh, yeah, you think I'm too stupid that I can't get ''one'' "A"?
:'''Scissors''': Listen. I know I usually antagonize you in situations like this, but I'm really not invested here.

:''[Rock and Scissors have then turned into frogs]''
:'''Scissors''': Paper, we've turned ourselves into frogs. We're looking for flies.

:'''Logan''': Yeah. We tutor underprivileged kids all the time. ''[shows them his brothers tutoring four children]'' Ruby, tell 'em the thesis of your report.
:'''Ruby''': In a juxtaposition of the sublime and the banal, the artist's oeuvre deftly encapsulates the ephemeral nature of human experience.
:''[Derf blares a party air horn; the trio are baffled by what they just saw and are back in their apartment…]''
:'''Scissors''': What the heck was that?!
:'''Rock''': The Rat Bros aren't supposed to be better than us! They're supposed to be one-dimensional bad guys!
:'''Paper''': Yeah! I refuse to live in a world where the Rat Bros are morally superior. Because then we can't judge them! And that's how I feel good about myself!

:'''Logan''': Brody, don't be ridiculous. We're only doing good things to make Rock, Paper, and Scissors feel bad about themselves, which is a jerk thing to do. And remember, the two rules of being a Rat Bro: If a bro asks you to spot 'em, you gotta spot 'em. And what's number two, kids?

We have to beat them!
:'''Brody''': Wait, Logan. Are you saying…
:'''Logan''': Yes, Brody. It's time for an altruistic-off!
:'''Ruby''': Altruistic-off: A competition in which people or groups try to win by doing the most good for society.
:'''Logan''': Uh, Ruby, you can go home. Okay. Derf, go save the whales. Brogan and I will eliminate political corruption. And Brody? Get a PhD in robotic engineering to give people without limbs the best in robotic prostheses.
:'''Derf''': But, Logan, I already have a PhD in robotic engineering.
:'''Logan''': Too late. I already gave out the assignments.
:''[Another article shows the Rat Bros being #1 good guys and receiving more praise]''

:'''Scissors''': What's the point of cleaning all this garbage off the street if we're losing?! ''[pushes the huge garbage bag out the window, and it falls onto the street, splashing some people in garbage]''

:'''Derf''': Yeah, in two days. Very impressive.
:'''Brody''': Well, I got a job at a hospital working in robotic prosthetics. ''[Flashback starts with him in his shift as he puts some prostheses on a limbless patient named Mr. Drake]'' All right, Mr. Drake. Test them out.
:'''Mr. Drake''': ''[grips his prostheses, controlling them; surprised]'' Oh, my gosh. I-I can wave! I can point! I can… ''[uses them to scratch an itch on his behind]'' Oooh, I've been waiting to scratch that for 25 years!
:'''Brody''': ''[voice-over]'' But then, something weird happened.

:'''Brody''': I think… I think I might be a good guy.
:'''Derf''': ''[gasps in dramatic shock]'' No. Brody, no. A-are you sure?
:'''Brody''': This morning, I wrote a big check to a food bank!
:'''Derf''': But you know the rules… jerks are cool. Good guys are… I don't even know!
:'''Brody''': Derf, I get it. But I'm thinking about that machine and… it just feels wrong to do nothing! Those homes would help so many people.
:'''Derf''': Look, I know it's tough, but sometimes you gotta make hard choices in life. Do you want to foster the well-being of millions… or be cool? ''[starts to walk away]''
:'''Brody''': Hey, Derf… when you were saving the whales, were you thinking about beating Rock, Paper, and Scissors, or about how good it felt to save those whales?

:'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the TV after watching the news of becoming the most hated person on Earth]'' This is terrible! I gotta go down to Convenient News and tell everyone I'm not a bad guy! ''[walks down the street, passing an angry crowd, booing at him]'' I know, I know, but I'll explain everything on TV!
:'''Driver''': This is for Lolly! ''[splashes water on him]''
:'''Driver #2''': This is also for Lolly! ''[splashes more water on him]''
:'''Driver #3''': ''[throwing out a bucket of snakes at him]'' EAT SNAKES, JERK!
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': ''[returns to the apartment; bummed]'' Of all the bad days in my life, that probably broke the top 50. ''[sees his friends dancing to Lolly's album]''
:'''Paper''': By the way, I'd also recommend not going online.
:'''Rock''': We wrote some really nasty stuff.
:'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the music]'' Guys, this is serious! I can't even leave the house! I gotta get everyone to stop hating me.
:'''Rock''': I don't know how you could do that.
:'''Paper''': Yeah, Lolly's the victim here.
:'''Scissors''': ''[as an idea pops into his head]'' That's it! ''That's'' how you win over the public sympathy! I just need to out-victim Lolly.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': ''[apologizing to everyone after hearing the song]'' I just heard the song for the first time, and I understand why you and Lolly are upset (with me). I was so consumed by my desire to be loved that I didn't see I was taking advantage of her fame. It was selfish and immature, and I never want to hurt anyone like that again. I'm truly, truly sorry. Will you accept my apology?
:''[After a brief moment…]''
:'''Everyone''': NO!
<hr width="50%">
:'''Lolly''': This is ''way'' out of hand! Sure, Scissors messed up, but he doesn't deserve ''this.'' And frankly, you guys are so intense sometimes it scares me. I mean, is that a mythological war hammer?! ''[Paper is shown to be holding and electrical war hammer and he and Rock sadly hang their heads down]'' So please, take it down a notch. And you don't need to do things like this for me. I'm not a god. ''[stops the meteor from hitting the Earth; voice booming] '''NO!'''''
:'''Meteor''': Whatever you say, Lolly! Love the new album! ''[flies away into space]''
:''[Everyone leaves, saying sorry]''
:'''Paper''': Sorry, Lolly.
:'''Lolly''': I heard your apology. I'm glad you learned your lesson. And I'll admit, I probably shouldn't have written 16-full length songs about why you were terrible.
:'''Scissors''': Sixteen? I thought you only wrote ten.
:'''Lolly''': No, I only released ten. I might release the other six as bonus tracks. ''[Everyone comes back, screaming excitedly]'' But I might not!
:'''Everyone''': ''[disappointed]'' Aww! ''[walk away]''
:'''Lolly''': Hey, all this aside, I did still have fun with you. So maybe we could go on a second date. What do you think?
:'''Scissors''': ''[thinking about it for a moment]'' Hard pass.
:'''Lolly''': What?
:'''Scissors''': Do you have any idea how awful you made my life? I was the most hated man on Earth. The nation of Japan publicly denounced me. And I was almost torn apart by 2,000 psychopaths in bows. So, yes, I '''''did''''' learn a lesson, but it was to never, ever date pop stars. Hard pass. ''[walks away]''
:'''Lolly''': That wasn't very nice. I should write an album about that.
===''Paper Takes the Phones / The Bedtime Story [2.07]''===
:''[Paper takes away Rock and Scissors' phones for confiscation, forcing them to spend quality with him in putting together a puzzle]''
:'''Rock''': Hey!
:'''Scissors''': Give it back!
:'''Paper''': You know, I just want us all to connect, but you're always on your phones.
:'''Scissors''': Name one comedic example.
<hr width="50%">
:''[The Rat Bros are in Derf's room, hearing the trio arguing from under after drawing on Derf's face with a marker while he's asleep]''
:'''Logan''': Those guys are so inconceivable.
===''Scissors is a Good Boy / Paper's Family Get-Together [2.08]''===
:'''Franz''': Wait. Who is that? ''[points to Scissors, and pats him on the head, mistaking him for a dog]'' Look at you! You are such a good boy!
:'''Scissors''': ''[baffled]'' Does he think I'm a dog?
:'''Franz''': ''[throws a ball]'' Fetch!
:'''Scissors''': I mean, I'm gonna get the ball. It's a cool ball.
:'''Franz''': ''[turns to Rock]'' Rock, your dog is amazing!
:'''Rock''': Uh, that's not my dog.
:'''Franz''': So it's a stray? I must have it! ''[to Scissors]'' How'd you like to come live with your new doggie daddy?
:'''Scissors''': Dude, I'm '''''not''''' a dog.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': ''[as the veterinarian checks his ears]'' This is great! They got rid of all my worms and fleas!
<hr width="50%">
:'''Rock''': How is none of this bothering you? Don't you feel shame?
:'''Scissors''': Normally? Every waking second. But all that shame goes away when I'm surrounded by expensive things.
:'''Franz''': ''[off-screen]'' Doggie! I got you a new toy! ''[presents Scissors a helicopter]''
:'''Scissors''': ''[laughs]'' I don't know what he thinks a dog is, but I wanna keep being one!
<hr width="50%">
:''[While the trio are fighting against Dr. Big Bat over a big strawberry, Paper gets a reminder on his phone for his annual family get-together]''
:'''Paper''': Oh, no.
:'''Scissors''': What?
:'''Rock & Scissors''': Oh, no.
:'''Dr. Big Bat''': What? What is it?
:'''Paper''': I totally forgot. Today's my annual family get-together.
:'''Dr. Big Bat''': Oh, well, we can reschedule, if you need to go.
:'''Paper''': No, it's not that. It's… ''[sighs deeply]'' I come from a family of ''very'' high achievers. There's my sister, Sandpaper, an action movie star. My brother, Toilet Paper, a popular stand-up comedian. My mom, Newspaper, an award-winning journalist. My dad, Parchment Paper, a famous pastry chef. And then there's me… the dud.
:'''Dr. Big Bat''': Wait, why is your name the only one that's not a specific type of paper?
:'''Paper''': I actually go by my middle name. My full name's Plain Paper.
:'''Scissors''': What?! ''[laughs]'' That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! I'm gonna get as much mileage out of that as possible!
:'''Paper''': Every time we get together, my family goes around the table and says what they accomplished in the last year. Everyone says something incredible until it gets to me. I share something stupid… then my family says, "Wow, Paper. That's really something." And then they give me a cookie. I've always wanted to do something incredible, but nothing I do is. And don't want to be humiliated again.
<hr width="50%">
:''[Paper arrives at his family home where his family is in the living room, watching home movies]''
:'''Newspaper''': You're just in time for home movies.
:'''Toilet Paper''': There I am, recording my first special.
:'''Sandpaper''': There I am, practicing my kicks.
:'''Newspaper''': And there's Paper. Is he gonna mix those chemicals?
:'''Toilet Paper''': ''[laughs]'' You always had the highest hospital bills.
:'''Parchment Paper''': ''[enters with a cake]'' Okay, time to eat. I hope everyone like Forever Cake.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Parchment Paper''': Paper? What's going on? And why are your friends here?
:'''Scissors''': We kidnapped Paper too?
:'''Rock''': Because we have beef and… Uh… Come back to me.
:'''Paper''': What's going on is I don't want to go back to that table! You don't know how humiliating it is to hear about all the incredible things you do every year because I never do any myself. ''[to Sandpaper]'' You're working on big action movies, ''[to his mother]'' you're breaking national news, and I'm just Plain Paper. That's why I staged this kidnapping. Rock, Scissors, and I were fighting Dr. Big Bat over a giant strawberry we grew for the county fair, and we thought he'd make a good kidnapper. But then you got through all the bats, so I had to call a bunch of people I met over the past year. Like the ghosts we befriended when we tried to get the perfect holiday picture, the tortoises I accidentally made huge from toxic ooze and taught martial arts in the sewer, and the Hipponoids from the time I stopped their invasion and saved Earth.
:'''Newspaper''': Hold on. You did all that in the last year?
:'''Paper''': ''[sadly]'' Yeah, I go on a lot of silly adventures.
:'''Sandpaper''': Paper, that's not silly at all.
:'''Paper''': It's not?
:'''Parchment Paper''': Are you kidding? Who goes on adventures like that?
:'''Toilet Paper''': Yeah, that's… That's incredible!
:'''Rock''': Ah, that's why I should've said.
===''Moonami 12 / Spider Court [2.09]''===
:''[Inside Scissors' head, he is standing on the beach, gazing at the cow-tsunami coming towards him]''
:'''Scissors''': ''[sadly]'' Our tradition is ruined. We don't have snacks, my friends are gone, and I'm just a cow. A big, dumb cow.
:'''Max''': Then take off the costume.
:'''Scissors''': I can't, Max. I'm only wearing underwear.
:'''Max''': ''[kneels down to him]'' You can still get the job done. Because what do I always say?
:'''Scissors & Max''': Everybody gets down sometimes, but the important thing is to get back up, because up is the opposite of down and staying down just means you've given up, but I never give up, I only get down, because I'm Max Moonami, the guy who rides cows.
:'''Max''': That's right.
:'''Scissors''': Hey, Max… thanks.
:'''Max''': Don't thank me, Scissors. I just exist in your head.
:'''Scissors''': Wait, so I ''can't'' do it?
:'''Max''': Uh, don't think about it. ''[to the camera]'' Quick. Zoom out! Zoom out!
:''[Zoom out of Scissors' head; He takes off his cow costume and sets it down on the three reserved seats for Rock, Paper, and himself, leaving him in his underwear]''
:'''Scissors''': Nobody sit here!
===''Scissors, the Supervillain / Car Wash Nationals [2.10]''===
:'''Scissors''': Guys, you should be happy for me. I've been searching forever to find my defining thing, and I really think this is it.
:'''Rock''': In fairness, you say that a lot. Remember when you thought your thing was being a foreign translator?
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': What the heck is going?! I came here to do evil, and now I'm just making smoothies!
:'''Dreamscape''': Yes, sometimes you have to open a juice shop to fund the evil-doing. What do you think I pay the henchmen with? Words of affirmation?
:'''Sheep Henchman''': Wouldn't mind it.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Dreamscape''': Scissors? What's wrong?
:'''Scissors''': I can't do this.
:'''Citizen''': Because you realized you don't want to hurt us and you're not actually evil?
:'''Scissors''': No. It's just… ''[steps forward]'' This plan took so long. I mean, months of tedious labor for one moment of excitement? I can't live like that. I… ''[sighs]'' I don't think I have the patience to be a supervillain. I really thought this was gonna be my defining thing, but now… I just feel lost.
:'''Citizen #2''': Hey, man, you'll find it.
:'''Dreamscape''': ''[steps forward and kneels down]'' Yeah, part of finding your thing is finding what your thing ''isn't.''
:'''Scissors''': ''[smiles lightly]'' You're right. I just gotta keep searching. Thank you, Dreamscape.
<hr width="50%">
:''[Rock is sitting on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket and an ice pack on his head, feeling really sick]''
:'''Paper''': ''[disgusted]'' Ugh, Rock, are you-- ''[Rock starts coughing]'' Are you-- ''[Rock coughs more and harder]'' Rock, are you okay?!
:'''Rock''': No. I got a nasty bug.
:'''Bug''': Hi, how ya doing?
:'''Scissors''': Gross.
:'''Bug''': Hey, I don't come to your work and call you gross. You know, 'cause you don't have a job.
:'''Scissors''': ''[sniffs sadly; voice breaking]'' Rock did say it was nasty.
:'''Rock''': I probably got it from working too much. Between Franz and the robot car wash…
:'''Paper''': You ''still'' work at the car wash?
:'''Rock''': I also worked at a climbing gym, but I just got fired.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Hiring Robot''': You call yourselves car washers? You can't even dance!
:'''Paper''': Are those things related?
:'''Female Robot Executive''': Of course, car washes are all about dancing, and you two better get your act together because Car Wash Nationals are this Sunday.
:'''Scissors''': Car Wash Nationals?
:'''Hiring Robot''': Yes, a competition where car washes are judged on dancing and washing that dates back to the 1920s.
:''[Quick scene shows the Car Wash Nationals from the 1920s]''
:'''Female Robot Executive''': It's the biggest sporting event in the country, and everyone's training for it.
:''[All car wash employees are training for the competition]''
:'''Paper''': This is ridiculous! That place has four people who are just back-up dancers and never touch the cars!
:'''Hiring Robot''': We've won the last two titles, and if we win this year, we'll be the first car wash to ever win the three-peat.
:'''Female Robot Executive''': This is our chance to make the history books. ''[sternly]'' So don't ruin it for us.
:'''Scissors''': Oh, man. She is blatantly hitting on me.
:''[Cut to the trio's apartment]''
:'''Paper''': Rock!
:'''Scissors''': You didn't tell us we were entering a dance competition!
:'''Rock''': I said it was an important time for the car wash. That wasn't clear?
:'''Paper & Scissors''': NO!
:'''Rock''': But you said you'd cover for me.
:'''Scissors''': Yeah, but we can't do this. We've practiced all day. We're not championship-level dancers!
:'''Bug''': You're telling me. I bet you don't even know the difference between a basket toss and a full-down.
:'''Paper''': Can he cover for you?
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': How can we have fun with it?! The stakes are enormous, and it's in front of MILLIONS OF PEOPLE!
:'''Bug''': I feel like they're not having fun with it.
:'''Paper''': ''[in unison]'' SHUT IT, BUG! This is your fault! Get your smug attitude outta here!
:'''Scissors''': ''[in unison]'' THAT'S ENOUGH! I am so sick of you! I will basket toss you outta here!
:'''Rock''': Guys, guys, relax. You're putting too much pressure on yourselves. All you have to do is learn the routine and end with the reverse triple corkscrew window wash.
<hr width="50%">
:'''Scissors''': Oh, man, this is the best team we could assemble? Lou, Potato, Female Birthday Cop, Creepo the Stinkboy, Sal Garbanzo, and a polar bear.
:'''Paper''': No one even knows the routine! Also, Lou told me he just had a big meal.
:'''Lou''': ''[stuffed]'' I cannot move.
:'''Scissors''': Oh, great. Now we're gonna humiliate ourselves in front of the whole world. Robo Car Wash won't make the history books, and we're gonna let down Rock.

:'''Scissors''': ''[turns on the lights after he and his friends make hand shadows]'' Gotta admit, we're a pretty incredible trio.
:'''Paper''': Oh, I meant to ask… I was looking up other fun stuff for us to try. Wanna go cherry picking?
:'''Rock''': Sure!
:'''Scissors''': ''[dumbfounded]'' Cherry picking?! I'd rather sleep next to a grizzly bear with violent night terrors.
:'''Paper''': Oh. Well, then--
:'''Scissors''': I'd rather wear underwear made of porcupine needles. I'd rather attend a 9-hour recital of beginner violinists. I would rather run a 10K in a hailstorm, naked on hot coals, and then clean the elephant pen at the zoo with my bare hands!
:'''Rock''': My goodness!
:'''Reporter''': One cherry picking trip later…
:'''Scissors''': ''[sitting in the sofa on his phone as his friends return]'' So, how was cherry picking? The pits? ''[snickers]''

===''Chuckie vs. the Potty/Together at Last'' [2.2]===
:''[The episode begins in the Pickles' bathroom, with a close-up of a roll of toilet paper. Tommy pulls the roll down with his hand and giggles. He then pulls it again, and lots toilet paper fills up the screen as he continues giggling. The screen fades to black, then in the next scene, it is revealed that the entire bathroom floor is covered in a lot of toilet paper. Tommy, who is now also covered in toilet paper, jumps and continues giggling until Didi runs in]''
:'''Didi''': Tommy!! Oh no, Snookums! That's for cleaning up messes, not making them." ''[Didi is now holding Tommy in her arm as she tosses the toilet paper in her hand onto the floor. She walks out of the bathroom, carrying Tommy. The camera zooms out, revealing the entire bathroom floor to be covered in lots and lots of toilet paper. In the living room, Phil and Lil are fighting over a toy robot as Didi carries Tommy by his armpits with both hands.]'' Now, you play out here with Phil and Lil, and before you know it, it'll be time for a nice nap. ''[Didi sets Tommy down in the playpen while Phil and Lil are still fighting over the toy robot.]'' Now share, you two! ''[The doorbell then rings.]'' That must be Charles Sr. and Chuckie.
:''[Didi walks towards the front door. Tommy pulls on the toy robot's head. Which opens the robot up, making him, Phil, and Lil all fall over as the toy robot rolls away and Phil turns his head to watch it, Lil does the same as well, while Tommy leans up to watch it. Didi, who is now at the front door, opens it. On the other side of the door, Chas is carrying Chuckie in his right hand and a clown potty chair in his left arm. He walks inside.]''
:'''Chaz''': It can't be done, Didi, it just can't be done!!
:''[Didi pushes the door closed.]''
:'''Didi''': Oh now, Charles, don't get discouraged. Everybody gets potty trained sooner or later.
:''[Chaz walks towards the playpen and sets Chuckie and the potty chair down in it.]''
:'''Chaz''': Not Chuckie, not my son! He's gonna be taking diapers to work with him in his briefcase.
:'''Didi''': Now, listen, Charles, I've been reading all about potty-training in Lipschitz, and it's really quite simple! ''[As Didi continues talking to Chaz, Chuckie walks sadly past Tommy, Phil, and Lil.]'' So, you just go off and have a good weekend. We'll take care of Chuckie, and we'll make sure he uses his '''P-O-T-T-Y.'''
:'''Chaz''': His what? Oh. Oh, yeah. Well. Okay. But if there's any trouble, call the hotel.
:'''Didi''': We're not gonna have any trouble, we'll be fine.
:'''Chaz''': All right. Bye-bye, Chuckie. Be a good boy for Didi and Stu, okay? Use your potty, and don't eat any earthworms.
:'''Didi''': Bye, Charles.
:''[Didi pushes Chas towards the front door.]''
:'''Chaz''': Or breathe any noxious fumes!
:''[Didi opens the front door.]''
:'''Didi''': Bye, Charles!
:'''Chaz''': Or drink any radioactive waste!!
:'''Didi''': Bye, Charles!!
:''[Didi pushes Chaz out the front door.]''
:'''Chaz''': Or--!
:''[Didi slams the door in Chas' face before he can finish what he's saying.]''
:'''Didi''': My goodness, what a worrywart!
:''[Back at the playpen, Tommy, Phil, and Lil look down surprised at Chuckie's potty chair. Tommy crawls towards it, and they all look inside.]''
:'''Phil''': What is it?!
:'''Lil''': I don't know.
:''[Tommy grabs the handles of the lid with and pulls the lid off. He then puts the lid on his head.]''
:'''Tommy''': Maybe it's a hat.
:'''Phil''': Nah, then what's the rest for?!
:'''Tommy''': Maybe it's a big mush bowl.
:''[Tommy climbs into Chuckie's potty chair and ducks. He pokes his head out when he hears Chuckie saying what it really is.]''
:'''Chuckie''': It's a potty!! You guys won't believe what they're trying to make me do!!
:''[Tommy is now out of Chuckie's potty chair as he, Phil, and Lil look nervously at Chuckie.]''
:'''Tommy''': What, Chuckie?
:'''Phil and Lil''': Yeah, what?
:''[As Chuckie talks, Tommy walks towards him and Phil and Lil crawl towards him.]''
:'''Chuckie''': They're trying to make me... uh... they're trying to make me... Oh, I can't say it.
:'''Tommy''': Tell us, Chuckie.
:'''Chuckie''': Uh, they're trying to make me use that! ''[Chuckie points to his potty chair.]'' Instead of my diaper!!
:'''Phil''': Nah, that can't happen!
:'''Lil''': Yeah, how's it going to fit in your pants?
:'''Chuckie''': Oh!
:''[Tommy crawls up to Chuckie.]''
:'''Tommy''': But Chuckie, they can't do that to you!
:'''Chuckie''': Well, they're doing it!! They call it getting potty-trained!! It's the worstest thing that's happened to me since my mom put me on the bottle!!
:'''Lil''': What are you going to do?
:'''Chuckie''': I don't know. I've tried everything!
:'''Lil''': Maybe you could put a lot of napkins in your pants and use 'em like a diaper.
:''[Lil pulls up her skirt, exposing her diaper.]''
:'''Chuckie''': I tried it.
:'''Phil''': Maybe you could poop in your room and hide it in your toy box.
:'''Chuckie''': Tried it.
:'''Tommy''': Maybe you could just stop pooping altogether.
:'''Chuckie''': Tried it. It's no use! No matter what I do, it looks like I'm going to have to be... potty-trained.
:'''Angelica''': Ha!! You little babies really make me laugh!! First you cry for your mommies every time you get a little wet! ''[Angelica walks up to the playpen with an evil smile and unlatches the hook. She opens the playpen.]'' And now, finally, you get to go without 'em forever, and what do you do?! Chicken out!!! What's the matter? Little baby scared to be without his diapers?!
:'''Chuckie''': No, that's not it! I'm not scared! I, I just don't want to be potty-trained, that's all. It's just not right!!
:'''Angelica''': Not right?! Ha!!! That's a good one!! Don't you dummies know anything?! Everybody who's anybody is potty-trained!!
:''[Angelica slaps her head.]''
:'''Chuckie''': Well, not me! I'm never going to do it!! They can't make me!! I'm going to wear my diapers forever, and no one is going to stop me. Not my mom, not my dad! Not the present of the Benited Steaks! ''[Instead of United States]'' ''[Chuckie stands up and puts his right hand over his heart as the American Flag appears behind him. Fireworks even go off in the background.]'' Because I...
:'''Tommy''': Chuckie?
:''[Chuckie puts both his hands over the front of his pants.]''
:'''Chuckie''': I...
:'''Phil''': What's the matter, Chuckie?
:'''Lil''': What's wrong?
:''[Chuckie now has his hands pressed against the front of his pants and his legs crossed.]''
:'''Chuckie''': '''I... I... I GOTTA GO!!!'''
:''[Chuckie starts crying with anguish. This gets Didi's attention, as she runs into the playpen and picks Chuckie up.]''
:'''Didi''': Oh, dear!! This is it! Stu, hurry!!!
:''[Stu runs in, and Didi runs past him.]''
:'''Stu''': What, Deed?!
:'''Didi''': Get the potty, get the potty!!!
:'''Stu''': Where?!
:''[Didi is now holding Chuckie in her right arm as she points towards Chuckie's potty chair.]''
:'''Didi''': There!!!
:''[Didi runs desperately into the bathroom, carrying Chuckie. She sets Chuckie down, then pulls down his pants. Stu, who is carrying Chuckie's potty chair, is outside the bathroom door.]''
===''The Big House/The Shot'' [2.3]===
:''[Tommy dribbles the ball. A strange baby is playing with a school bus and sees Tommy]''
:'''Wiseguy''': Psst! ''[Tommy hears him and looks around]'' Over here.
:'''Tommy''': You talking to me?
:'''Wiseguy''': ''[shushes]'' You don't want them screws to hear, do ya?
:'''Tommy''': Screws?
:'''Wiseguy''': You know, grownups.
:'''Tommy''': Oh.
:'''Wiseguy''': You new around here, ain't ya? Everybody around here calls me Wiseguy on account of I know everything what's going on.
:'''Tommy''': Hi, Wiseguy, my name's Tommy Pickles.
:'''Wiseguy''': Sure, sure. Listen, if you're gonna make it in this place, you gotta know what's what.
:'''Tommy''': What?
:'''Wiseguy''': Right, You see that kid over there? ''[A big chubby baby walks over to another baby in blue pajamas suckling on a bottle]'' That's Big Justin. He's kinda the boss around here on account of he's the biggest. ''[Big Justin takes the bottle apart from the other baby and suckles on it]'' You see that girl over there? ''[points at a girl building wooden blocks]'' They call her the Builder on account of she's always playing with blocks. And look over there. ''[The screen pans to a baby playing with red Play-Doh and yellow bits of clay all over him. He sculpts the Play-Doh into a pit bull]'' They call him Doughboy. He can make anything out of Play-Doh.
:''[Doughboy sculpts the Play-Doh into a cat. Suddenly, Tommy and Wiseguy hear a baby crying very loud. A shot of inside his mouth is shown as Sandra and Jonathan arrive]''
:'''Tommy''': What's wrong with that kid?
:'''Wiseguy''': Oh, don't worry about him; he's faking it.
:'''Tommy''': Faking it?
:'''Wiseguy''': Yep, that's Crybaby. ''[Sandra and Jonathan try to calm Crybaby down]'' He can make himself cry even when nothing's bothering him.
:''[As Sandra and Jonathan turn away, Crybaby stops crying and grins for a moment, but resumes back to crying as Sandra and Jonathan take out a rattle and stuffed teddy bear]''
:'''Big Justin''': Hey. ''[Tommy and Wiseguy turn to Justin]'' Who's the new kid?
:'''Wiseguy''': ''[stammers nervously]'' Oh, hi, Justin. This here is Tommy Pickles.
:''[Tommy grins at Justin]''
:'''Big Justin''': Nice ball, kid. Give it to me.
:'''Tommy''': ''[pulls it away]'' No!
:''[All the babies stop playing and turn seeing this]''
:'''Big Justin''': What'd you say, kid?
:'''Tommy''': It's my ball, you can't have it!
:'''Big Justin''': Look, you're new around here, and maybe nobody warned ya, I'm Big Justin and I run this place. ''[pulls his suspenders in a snap]'' Now, '''''GIVE ME THE BALL!''''' ''[grabs the ball]''
:'''Tommy''': ''[pulls it back]'' '''''NO!!'''''
:'''Big Justin''': I said '''''GIVE IT TO ME!!!'''''
:''[Big Justin and Tommy get caught in a tug-o-war with the ball. Wiseguy and Crybaby watch this in shock]''
:'''Crybaby''': ''[holds a cookie]'' Betcha a cookie Justin gets the ball.
:'''Wiseguy''': ''[gives Crybaby another]'' You're on.
:''[Big Justin and Tommy continue fighting over the ball until Tommy lets the ball slip out of his fingers and ends up falling into a wagon, which rolls across the room, knocks over Builder's block structure, crushes Doughboy's clay cat sculpture and rams into a wall. Tommy sees Doughboy stare at what just happened]''
:'''Tommy''': ''[gasps]'' I'm sorry.
:'''Doughboy''': ''[tears well up and bawls]'' '''''AAUUGGHH!!'''''
:''[Sandra comes in and sees what just happened. She is accompanied by Jonathan and Bob]''
:'''Jonathan''': Diagnosis?
:'''Sandra''': Destructive overreaction syndrome. Procedure?
:'''Jonathan''': Positive reinforcement denial?
:'''Sandra''': ''[shakes her head]'' Uh-uh.
:'''Jonathan''': Withdrawal of snack gratification?
:'''Sandra''': Uh-uh.
:'''Bob''': ''[takes out a fresh diaper]'' Fresh change of diapers?
:'''Sandra''': No. ''[points at Tommy, echoes''] Time out.
:''[The babies gasp in shock one by one]''
:'''Wiseguy''': They're gonna give him the pen!
:''[A single pen is shown by the corner of the room. Sandra rushes Tommy to the pen with Jonathan and Bob following]''
:'''Bob''': I yet say a nice change of diapers might cheer the little fella up!
:'''Jonathan''': How long?
:'''Sandra''': ''[holds five fingers]'' Five minutes.
:'''Jonathan''': Five minutes?! Don't you think that's a bit...harsh?
:'''Sandra''': ''[sternly]'' Do it.
:''[Jonathan does so. The timer is heard ticking as Tommy goes hesitantly silent]''
:'''Builder''': Woah, five minutes!
:'''Doughboy''': These screws just keep getting meaner and meaner.
:''[Tommy lowly lays silent in the pen as he watches the cat clock on the wall. Tommy sees a toy jug and strides it along the wooden bars of the pen]''
:'''Sandra''': ''[confiscates the jug]'' No, no, Tommy. ''[grins]'' Noise-making is not part of... ''[echoes]'' ...time out.

[[File:Picture of James Payn.jpg|thumb|]]
'''{{w|James Payn}}''' ([[28 February]] 1830 – [[25 March]] 1898) was an English novelist and editor. Among the periodicals he edited were ''Chambers's Journal'' in Edinburgh and the ''Cornhill Magazine'' in London.
== Quotes ==
* May he perish, inch by inch, within reach of the aid that shall never come, ere the God of the poor take him into his hand.
** ''{{w|Lost Sir Massingberd}}'' (1864), vol. 1, ch. 6; vol. 2, ch. 18 <!--(the gipsy woman's curse)-->
* To the truly benevolent mind, indeed, nothing is more satisfactory than to hear of a miser denying himself the necessaries of life a little too far and ridding us of his presence altogether.
** "The Pinch of Poverty", in ''The Nineteenth Century'' (May 1880), p. 866
* You are safe to-day, my friend, but you will not be safe to-morrow; you may be safe to-morrow, but you will not be safe the next day: in my country [[wikt:revenge is a dish best served cold|vengeance]] is a dish that we eat cold.
** ''Thicker than Water'' (1883), vol. 1, ch. 17, p. 320 <!--(the Mexican's threat)-->
* I had never had a piece of toast<br> Particularly long and wide,<br>But fell upon the sanded floor,<br> And always on the buttered side.
** "The Muse of Parody", in ''Chambers's Journal'' (2 February 1884), p. 71
** Parodying [[Thomas Moore|Moore]]'s famous lines from ''Lalla Rookh'' (1817):
**: I never nursed a young gazelle<br> To glad me with its soft dark eye,<br>But when it came to know me well,<br> And love me, it was sure to die.
* He was no coward, but it had suddenly struck him that the present was a very ill-chosen time for a row with his younger relative, however successful might be the issue. Such violence should not go unpunished, but vengeance is a dish that can be eaten cold.
** ''A Modern Dick Whittington'' (1892), vol. 1, p. 222

:'''Mr. Rogers''': Sometimes you feel like you're too old for certain things.

''(the students pauses for a one little bit; Buster, haves his hands on the rope, quietly let it go; the students feel guilty and decide to stops causes their friend further humiliation and do nothing happens)''

===''D.W., the Picky Eater'' [2.3a]===
:'''D.W.''': Cucumbers: yucky. Mushrooms: yucky. Onions: yucky and smelly. Wait a minute, this isn't lettuce. What kind of a salad is this?
:'''Arthur''': Uh-oh. ''[singsong]'' She's going to pop.
:'''D.W.''': This is spinach.
:'''Waiter''': Is something wrong?
:'''D.W.''': This is spinach, AND I...HATE... SPINACH!!! ''[everyone in the restaurant gasps and laughed]'' Oh, no!
:'''Waiter''': ''[fiercely] That's it, I quit.''
:'''Arthur''': Uh-oh.
:'''Jane''': ''[sternly quietness]'' Dora Winifred Read. ''[cut to Arthur's house with Grandma Thora and Baby Kate]''
:'''Grandma Thora''': Back so soon. Did you all have a good time?
:'''Arthur''': D.W. just punched her salad and then exploded! ''[pauses, David and Jane disappointedly stared to him]'' All over the waiter. But everyone was looking at us.
:'''D.W.''': THEY WERE '''''NOT!!!''''' Everybody was making this into such a big deal!
:'''Jane''': ''[sulky]'' No restaurants for you, young lady, until you behave and learn to eat what's placed in front of you. Now go to your room.
:'''David''': Jane, please.
:'''Arthur''': Well, what about Grandma Thora's birthday at the Once Upon a Restaurant next week?
:'''Jane''': D.W. will not be joining us.
:'''Arthur''': Oh. well, that's too bad. ''[sighs]'' Dinner without D.W. I guess we'll just have to suffer through it without her.
:'''Grandma Thora''': If D.W. couldn't come to the restaurant, I'd be just as happy coming over here for dinner.
:'''Arthur''': What? And miss Once Upon a Restaurant?
:'''Grandma Thora''': It just wouldn't be a happy birthday, if D.W. isn't here.
:'''Arthur''': ''[Jane and David maintaining with arguing in off-screen]'' But this was the best restaurant ever! This was unfair! But am I supposed to do everything with D.W., or what?
<hr width=50% />
:''[Arthur watches Francine feed Kate spinach]''
:'''Francine''': Baby Kate is such a big girl! She loves her spinach. Yes, she does. Don't you, Katie-watie?
:'''D.W.''': ''[runs inside]'' Kate, stop! It's a trick! Don't eat it!
:'''Arthur''': No, no. Kate is a big girl. It's not like some sisters who throw their food and have tantrums like babies.
:'''D.W.''': BUT I'M NOT A BABY!
:'''Arthur''': Am too!
:'''D.W.''': Am not!
:'''Arthur''': Am too!
:'''Francine''': *Quiet.* If you're not a baby, then prove it. ''[she hands D.W. a spoonful of spinach; D.W. is about to take a bite when Kate spits up her spinach and smiles]''
:'''D.W.''': Well, this looks like I'm not the only one with a good taste around here. But I didn't hate spinach.
<hr width=50% />
:''[Arthur stages a phone conversation at home with D.W. listening]''
:'''Arthur''': Oh, Grandma! I'm so glad you changed your mind. I can't believe we're going to the restaurant after all.
:'''D.W.''': Hey, what are you telling Grandma?!
:'''Arthur''': Nope, it was nothing, D.W., now leave me alone! What's that, Grandma! Oh, yes, I think it'll be just as much fun without her.
:'''D.W.''': Without who?! Let me talk to her! ''[tries to take the phone]''
:'''Arthur''': D.W., isn't there some dancing vegetable on T.V.?
:'''D.W.''': Give me the phone!! I can go wherever I want!!
:'''Arthur''': But you said you didn't want to go to restaurants, remember that? And this one might have spinach. And... ''[holds the phone out of D.W.'s reach]''
:'''D.W.''': Grandma, I'm coming to your party, and it's gonna be lots of fun! Ha, so there! You're not the boss of me, Arthur Read!
:'''Arthur''': Well, Grandma, I guess there's nothing that I could do. We're just going to have to take D.W. with us.
:'''D.W.''': Yeah, that's right. Mom, Dad. I wanna go to the restaurant. And I'll try new food, and eat it all! ''[runs to find her parents]''
:'''Arthur''': Well, this works, but, thanks!
:'''Buster''': ''[at the other end, impersonating Grandma Thora]'' I'm glad I can help you, sonny!
<hr width=50% />

===''Buster and the Daredevils'' [2.3b]===
:'''Buster''': ''[To Francine after Slink whisper to him just one last dare.]'' Uh, Francine, I need advice!
:'''Francine''': What does he need advice for? He just has to run home as fast as he can.
:''[She walks up to Buster. He then proceeds to kiss Francine. Arthur and Muffy gasp.]''
:'''Brain''': Where's he going now?
:'''Arthur''': He's running home as fast as he can.
:''[Francine is now chasing Buster out of the ballpark in rage.]''
:'''Francine''': Buster Baxter, I'm gonna get you!!!!!
===''Arthur Makes a Movie'' [2.4a]===
:'''Buster''': And then, the evil genius escapes in his supersonic jet to his other space station shaped which is shaped like a giant clam and...
:'''Arthur''': Buster, snap out of it!
:'''Francine''': Buster, there's no way we could do something that complicated.
:'''Buster''': Huh?! Oh, you're right. Why even bother?
:'''Brain''': Well, we could do a supersonic jet.
:'''Buster''': Really?
:'''Brain''': Paper. Marker. Spray-paint. Tah-da!
:'''Buster''': Wow! It's just like I imagined! Better!
<hr width="50% "/>
:'''Prunella''': Well, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but it was nothing like the James Hound movie...
:'''Arthur''': Well, yeah. I mean, we've tried it but...
:'''Prunella''': It's much better!
:'''Arthur''': Really?
:'''Muffy''': And the next one's going to be even better! Oops! [ejects the videotape]
===''Go To Your Room, D.W.'' [2.4b]===
:'''D.W.''': ''(plays with dolls on the living room floor)'' This is Tiffany and this is her servant. And this is their lifeboat and these are the angry sharks... ''(Kate grabs Tiffany and D.W. gasps)'' No! I'll do the playing! You just watch me! ''(Both Kate and D.W. pull at the doll. The head falls off and D.W. gasps.)'' Aaugh!! Look what you did!
:'''Jane''': Play nicely, D.W.
:'''D.W.''': But she killed Tiffany! ''[Kate giggles]''
:'''Mrs. Read''': Here. Give that to me. This looks easy to fix. Don't worry. ''(She gives D.W. the fixed doll back.)'' Oh, there we go! Good as new! No need to get excited.
:'''D.W.''': How come you're always on her side?
:'''Jane''': I'm not on anyone's side. But Kate's a baby, and you're a big girl.
:'''D.W.''': ''[angrily]'' I am not a big girl, I'm a little girl! ''(Kate chuckles)'' Be quiet!
:'''Jane''': D.W.
:'''D.W.''': You sweet, little baby-wayby! ''(She sees Jane leaves the room)'' This was mine! You can only touch it when I say so.
:'''Jane''': ''[concerned]'' D.W.?
:'''D.W.''': Give it back, or I'll pinch you!!! ''[Jane grabs her]'' Aah! ''[drops the Tiffany doll]''
:'''Jane''': ''[sternly]'' Dora Winifred Read, go to your room!
:'''D.W.''': But what did I do wrong?
<hr width=50% />
:'''D.W.''': What about my supper? How will I survive?!
:'''Jane''': Supper's not till 6. You'll be out long before then.
:'''D.W.''': But what if you forget about me? I could starve to death! Mom! Mom! ''(She clings to her mother’s leg. Mrs. Read looks stern. She sits D.W. down on the bed.)''
:'''Jane''': It's 4:30 now. When the clock says 4:40, you can come downstairs. And I'll set the alarm so you'll know when it's time.
:'''D.W.''': ''(crying on her pillow)'' You don't love me! You only love Kate and Arthur and Daddy and Pal and... and Grandpa, and Aunt Lucy, and...and... ''(Jane has left the room and Nadine appears.)'' How long did she say?
:'''Nadine''': 10 minutes. When it says 4:31, that means one minute has gone by.
<hr width=50% />
:'''David''': ''[after D.W.'s fantasy]'' What are you doing here?
:'''D.W.''': The clock was broken and the time was stopped and I was just coming to warn you-
:'''David''': ''[to DW]'' Nice going, D.W. But back to your room right now.

:'''D.W.''': ''(grieves)'' And how about when Cousin Lucy got married? I had to stay at home and cook and clean while everyone else went to the wedding. ''(Imaginary flashback: D.W., in rags again, which are now completely tattered, cleans the fireplace and sneezes)''
:'''Jane''': ''[indignantly]'' [[The Lion King 1½|AREN'T YOU DONE YET?! YOU STILL HAVE THE BEDS TO MAKE AND YOU HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED THE BREAKFAST DISHES!!]]
:'''D.W.''': ''[in tears]'' Can't I go to the wedding, please?!
:'''Jane''': Weddings are *'''''NOT'''''* for little girls!
:'''D.W.''': But what about Kate? She's going!
:'''Jane''': ''(insanely)'' Kate is a baby! Besides, we like her better than you. Ready, everyone? ''[these leaves in the house]''
:'''Arthur''': Don't forget to brush the dog.
:''(D.W. brushes away her tears. She watches from the window as the family gets in the car and leaves. The flashback ends. D.W. sniffs on her pillow.)''
:'''D.W.''': ''[moans]'' It was so sad being me.
:'''Nadine''': But you went to the wedding, D.W.
:'''D.W.''': Whose side are you on, anyways?
<hr width=50% />
:'''D.W.''': Mom?
:'''Jane''': ''[concerned]'' What was it, now?
:'''D.W.''': Well, are you sure my clock was working? Because I've really been in here for hours.
:'''Jane''': Your clock was working perfectly. Go back to your room.
:'''D.W.''': Sheesh. Well, I think I'll call Grandma's. But at least she loves me though. ''(In her imagination, David picks up the phone in the kitchen. Grandma Thora is phoning from her kitchen with D.W. sitting next to her eating cookies.)''
:'''David''': Hello?
:'''Thora''': Son, this is your mother. What do you mean by punishing poor little D.W.?! ''(looks at D.W.)'' Eat up, lovey. You can have all the cookies you want. ''(returns to call)'' How can you do that. Look at this little angel. This child is perfect. ''(A halo appears over D.W.'s head)'' Punish Arthur. He's the real troublemaker.
:'''David''': Absolutely. Yes, of course, Mom. Arthur, go to your room and never come out!!!
:'''Arthur''': ''[gulps]''

:'''Kate''': ''[Arthur punched Jane's arm and crying in off-screen while babbles and looks coos as D.W.]''

:'''D.W.''': Mom!

:'''Mrs. Read''': Found it!
:'''Mr. Read''': Great.
:'''D.W.''': Mom! Arthur's gonna wreck my Crazy Bus!
:'''Mrs. Read''': Turn it off! I can't hear you!
:'''Mr. Read''': Arthur?
:'''D.W.''': Mom and Dad say if you touch it, then they'll adopt you to another country without TV.
:'''Mrs. Read''': D.W., wash up for dinner.
:'''D.W.''': What were they thinking when they invented brothers? What a dopey idea!

:'''Mrs. Read''': D.W., are you OK?
:'''Mr. Read''': What's the matter?
:'''D.W.''': CRAZY BUS IS GONE! I LEFT IT ON THE THING AND IT'S GONE! GONE!
:'''Mr. Read''': Well, it didn't just get up and walk away.
:'''D.W.''': I know! Arthur took it!
:'''Arthur''': I didn't!
:'''Mr. Read''': Honestly, Arthur?
:'''Arthur''': I didn't take it, Dad, really!

:'''Arthur''': How about...
:'''Mrs. Read''': Other than Bionic Bunny Playland. (Paused)
:'''Arthur''': How about Washington, D.C.? We've been learning about government in school.
:'''Mr. Read''': That's a capital idea! (silly laugh)
:'''Mrs. Read''': (sighs)
:'''Mr. Read''': It's a capital idea. Washington is the nation's capital. Get it?
:'''Arthur''': Yeah, I got it the first time.
:'''Mrs. Read''': Let's take a vote. Where's D.W.?
:''D.W. is watching a commercial on TV, in which a rainbow flies into a corral and Sarah, Maryann and Amanda come out of it.''
:'''Jingle''': “You’ve got to go to Ponyland. You should go to Ponyland. You really must go to Ponyland.”
:'''Girls:''' (laugh)
:'''Announcer:''' You'll be greeted and entertained by three or more adorable ponies.
:''The girls run up to three brightly colored ponies. Sarah dances with one of them, while another pony plays the guitar.''
:'''D.W.''': It's like a dream come true.
:''D.W. sits with her eyes glued to the TV. The others stand around her.''
:'''Arthur''': D.W., we’re going on vacation and we get to vote on where to go. Do you hear me? D.W., do you hear me?
:'''D.W.''': Of course I can hear you. What did you say?
:'''Mr. Read''': We’re deciding where to take a weekend trip.
:''D.W. thinks.''
:'''D.W.''': I vote for Ponyland.
:'''Arthur''': Yuck!
:'''Pal''': (whines)
:''He sticks out his tongue.''
:'''D.W.''': I have to go! It's like a dream come true. Pleeaase!
:'''Arthur''': Remember the last time we went to a place D.W. saw on TV?
:''Flashback: A TV commercial shows an igloo on a tropical beach.''
:'''Announcer (on TV)''': Come to Santa's Igloo, where Santa spends the summer.
:'''D.W.''': Pleeaase!
:'''Arthur''': Bleagh!
:''Flashback: The Reads drive past a sign advertising Santa’s Igloo.''
:'''D.W.''': What's it say?
:'''Arthur''': [[The Polar Express|“Share a sundae with Santa and his friendly reindeer.”]]
:''Flashback: A man, partly dressed as Santa Claus, comes out of a house with an igloo-shaped façade. Behind him, a woman is dressed as a reindeer and holds the reindeer’s head in her hand.''
:'''“Santa”''': Ho ho ho! Didn't you bring me a sundae? How can you share a sundae with Santa if you don't bring a sundae to Santa?
:''The Reads stare at him. Only D.W. smiles.''
:''The flashback ends.''
:'''D.W.''': Okay, so maybe it won't be as great as Santa's Igloo, but I must go to Ponyland.
:'''Mr. Read''': How would you feel about going to Washington D.C.?
:'''D.W.''': Ponyland.
:'''Mrs. Read''': There are lots of great things in Washington.
:'''D.W.''': I don't see any ponies!
:''Arthur looks into D.W.’s room while she is drawing.''
:'''Arthur''': Washington is where the President lives.
:'''D.W.:''' I don't care about the President. I care about ponies.
:''Mr. Read tucks D.W. in bed.''
:'''Mr. Read''': If you go where Arthur chose this time, then you can choose our next trip.
:'''D.W.:''' Promise?
:'''Mr. Read''': Promise.
:'''D.W.:''' Okay, okay, I’ll go.
:'''Mr. Read''': It’ll be fun.
:'''D.W.''': Since I made such a sacrifice, maybe you’ll buy me a pony.
:'''Mr. Read''': No.
:'''D.W.''': I could keep it in my room.
:'''Mr. Read''': No.
:''He turns off the light and leaves the room.''
:'''D.W.''': I wouldn’t ride it in the house?!
:'''Mr. Read''': No!
:''On the weekend, the Reads drive past a sign saying “Washington D.C. 100 miles”. D.W. sees a horse in a field.''
:'''D.W.''': Pony. Ponies. A lucky little girl who owns a pony.
:'''Mr. Read:''' This is gonna be a long ride.
:'''Mrs. Read''': Hey, D.W., let's play a game.
:'''D.W.''': Okay, let's name the ponies we pass. Blaze, Scout, Jerry, Stumper, Dasher, Dancer, Lexi...
:''In Washington, the Reads are stuck in a traffic jam. Then they drive past the Capitol Building and the White House.''
:'''Arthur:''' Look, the White House. Maybe I'll meet the president.
:''In his imagination, he shakes hands with the president.''
:'''Arthur:''' Arthur Read, Mr. President.
:'''President:''' The same Arthur Read who won the spelling bee and who played that great piano solo at the spring recital?
:'''Arthur:''' Y-yeah.
:'''President:''' I’ve always wanted to meet you. Hey, everybody, it's Arthur Read.
:''Journalists take pictures.''
:'''People:''' (chatter)
:''The fantasy ends.''
:'''Arthur:''' Let's park and walk around.
:'''D.W.:''' Yeah, maybe if we walk enough, we'll be so tired we won't notice how bored we are.
<hr width=50% />
:''The Reads visit the Lincoln Memorial. Arthur reads from a guidebook.''
:'''Arthur''': "Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president. He issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1st, 1863."
:'''D.W.:''' Boy, look at the size of those feet. Where'd he ever buy his shoes? Was he the only giant president?
:'''Mrs. Read''': Lincoln wasn't a giant. The statue is much larger than he was.
:'''D.W.:''' Wouldn't you know it? Finally something interesting, and it's a fake.
:'''Mr. Read:''' D.W., can't you please just try to relax and enjoy what's here?
:'''D.W.:''' Okay, Daddy. At least I'll get to see the Statue of Liberty.
:'''Mr. Read:''' Um... that's in New York, honey.
:'''D.W.:''' What a rip!
<hr width=50% />
:''The Reads walk up to the White House.''
:'''Mr. Read:''' The flag's up. That means the president is home today.
:'''Arthur:''' What if we meet him and become friends?
:''In his imagination, Arthur plays minigolf with the president on the White House lawn. They high-five.''
:'''Arthur:''' Alright!
:'''President:''' Hey!
:''Arthur and the president have a soda drinking contest in the Sugar Bowl while Arthur’s friends watch. The president’s glass has the presidential seal on it.''
:'''President:''' You beat me again, Arthur.
:'''Kids:''' Yeah! Woo!
:''The fantasy ends.''
:'''Mr. Read:''' Arthur! Come on, the tour is starting. It's the last one today.
:''They hurry into the building.''
<hr width=50% />
:''The Reads start a tour through the White House.''
:'''Guide:''' On the ground floor is the China Room, which contains a collection of presidential...
:'''Mrs. Read''': D.W., don't get left behind!
:'''D.W.:''' How exciting; another closed door.
:'''Guide:''' Follow me, please.
:'''D.W.:''' We could have stayed home and locked each other out of the bathroom. It would have looked just like this.
:''She crawls under a cordon and walks to a partly open door.''
:'''Arthur:''' D.W., stop it! You're gonna get us kicked out!
:''D.W. comes back.''
:'''D.W.:''' I'm just trying to find the government.
:'''Arthur:''' Don't break the rules. I don't want the president mad at us.
<hr width=50% />
:''The tour continues.''
:'''Guide:''' During Kennedy's administration, a permanent art collection was assembled for the White House...
:'''D.W.:''' I don't like this. It's full of people who make a lot of rules, and everybody's afraid of getting in trouble.
:'''Guide:''' In 1948, when Harry Truman was president, the White House was found to be unsafe for occupancy.
:''D.W. sneaks through an open door and closes it behind her. She sees a wide hallway in front of her. She tries to get back but the door will not open.''
:'''D.W.:''' (strains) Uh-oh.
:''Her parents are on the other side of the door.''
:'''Mrs. Read:''' D.W.?!
:'''Mr. Read:''' Where has she gone? D.W.!
:'''Arthur:''' Oh no, D.W.’s loose in the White House. We’re doomed.
:''In his imagination, D.W. sits on the president’s desk.''
:'''President:''' It gives me great pleasure to sign the D.W. Law. It is now illegal not to own a pony.
:''The journalists and guards are sitting on ponies.''
:'''Journalist:''' Right on, D.W.!
:'''Pony:''' (neighs)
:'''D.W.:''' (whispers to President)
:'''President:''' And the national anthem has been changed to "Crazy Bus".
:''The fantasy ends.''
:'''Arthur:''' We’ve got to find her before she wrecks the whole country.

:'''Mr. Read''': Slam on your brakes! Walter who?
:'''D.W.''': Walter Deer!
:'''Mr. Read''': Walter Deer? Whoa! D.W., our food isn't good for deer to eat.
:'''D.W.''': Don't worry, Dad, I'm not gonna let him eat it. I'm just gonna get him to come close to me.
:'''Mr. Read''': D.W., that's not safe, and it's not allowed. You can look at the deer.
:'''D.W.''': But if all I had to do was look, then I might as well be at home watching TV.
:'''Mr. Read''': This is the deer's home. You wouldn't like it if someone fed you strange food in your home.
:'''D.W.''': I would, if it was a deer.
===''Buster Hits the Books'' [2.11b]===
:'''Fern''': What are you writing your book report on, Arthur?
:'''Arthur''': I've read a lot of good books lately. I'm trying to choose between the two best.
:'''Brain''': If you can't decide, I've read an exciting book about magnetic fields that I highly recommend.
:''[Arthur, Buster and Fern's mouths fall open]''
:'''Fern''': No thanks, it can't be as good as "The Case of the Creepy Shadow." ''[she pulls out that book.]''
:'''Brain''': What about you, Buster? ''[he pulls out a set of magnets sticking to one another]'' It's intriguing reading and comes with six free magnets.
:'''Buster''': Um, sounds great, Brain, but I plan to do what I always do. Book reports are no sweat.
===''Arthur's Faraway Friend'' [2.12a]===
:'''Arthur''': I thought he was my best friend, but he wants to go.
:'''Sue Ellen''': I bet he doesn't want to go.
:'''Arthur''': He could have stayed and lived in a pit, but he said no. What does that tell you?
:'''Sue Ellen''': Try thinking how Buster will feel. You're losing one friend, but everything else stays the same for you.
:'''Arthur''': Yeah? So?
:'''Sue Ellen''': Buster's losing all his friends and going to a place where everything is new. It can be scary. I know. We moved a lot because of my father's job. It's hard.
:'''Arthur''': Buster probably needs a best friend now more than ever.

:'''Francine''': Huh? Why?
:'''Arthur''': Oh, you know, I figured I violated my parents' trust by going to the dump. I should think about what I did and stuff.
:'''Sue Ellen''': Well, Arthur, that's really adult of you.
===''Grandma Thora Appreciation Day'' [2.15a]===

:'''Mrs. Read''': Planning a party is a lot of work, you know.
:'''D.W.''': How hard can it be? You invite people and they come!
:'''Mrs. Read''': Speaking of people, let's keep this small. Just Grandma Thora's closest friends, okay?
:'''D.W.''': That's no fun! Can't we do stuff like rent an elephant or a zebra?
:'''Mrs. Read''': No elephants, D.W., just a nice, small, quiet party. Are you listening, Arthur?

:'''Arthur''': And before Muffy Crosswire hired you, you knew who wrote the note.
:'''Fern''': I deduced immediately it was Brain and Francine. Of course I had to tell Muffy. My reputation was at stake.

:'''Arthur''': Couldn't you get a babysitter or something? She's just gonna blow her whistle at everyone!
:'''D.W.''': Am not! Not unless I see someone who's not being safe.
:'''Mr. Read''': You have been getting a little carried away with your whistle, D.W.
:'''D.W.''': But I'm just doing what Officer Safety said to do.
:'''Mrs. Read''': He didn't mean for you to be a tattletale, D.W. He just wants you to let people know when someone's doing something dangerous, okay?
:'''D.W.''': I guess.

:'''Jane''': You know that's not true, D.W. Everybody has to eat politely and that includes you.
:'''D.W.''': That does '''''NOT''''' include me! You never include me. You always make me stay home whenever there's anything fun. Only Arthur gets to have fun! Only Arthur...
:'''Francine''': D.W., can I ask you a question?
:'''D.W.''': Maybe.
:'''Francine''': What's the matter with you?! ''[D.W. gasps and runs out of the room sobbing]''
:'''Arthur''': ''[sarcastic]'' That was great. You really solved the problem.

:'''D.W.''': ''(sobs)''
:'''Francine''': I'm sorry, D.W. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but you really are being a total doofus. If you know what I mean.
:'''D.W.''': Who asked you? You don't even live here.
:'''Francine''': Well, nobody asked me. But I'm Arthur's friend. When something's bugging him, I wanna help.
:'''D.W.''': You know what, Francine?!
:'''Francine''': What?
:'''D.W.''': Go... go...home. I'm too tired to think of any more mean things to say.
:'''Brain''': So did Francine figure out what's wrong with D.W.?
:'''Arthur''': No, it only made her worse. Last night she slammed so many doors, I thought we'd get arrested!? ''[?]''

:'''Policeman''': ?
:'''Binky''': Cool! When is that gonna be on?
:'''Francine''': You know what? I think D.W.'s being a pain because she's upset about something.
:'''Arthur''': What does D.W. have to be upset about? She's only four years old!
:'''Binky''': Yeah, it's not like she's a third grader!
:'''Francine''': It might sound weird, but something's bothering her, and it's up to us to get to the bottom of it. Starting today!
:'''Brain''': But we have soccer practice today.
:'''Francine''': Starting tomorrow!
:'''Brain''': Gee, I'd love to, but I have to clean the garage.
:'''Binky''': And I have to, er... I have to do... clean our garage too! Yeah, ha, wow. What a coincidence.
:'''Arthur''': Thanks a lot, guys.
:'''Binky''': Anytime.

:'''Francine''': Give me those! Where'd she go? ''(D.W. appears right in front of her looking angrily.)'' Augh!
:'''D.W.''': I know what you're doing and it won't work!
:'''Arthur''': She's not saying anything. And it's 10 o'clock and I'm tired!
:'''Francine''': Arthur, I'm telling you. Whatever it is, she'll say it in her sleep. You can't give up.
:'''Arthur''': Hm. Wait, this might be it!
:'''D.W.''': Oh. It's wrong. Something's wrong.
:'''Arthur''': It's wrong. Something's wrong.
:'''D.W.''': Because... because...
:'''Arthur''': Because...
:'''D.W.''': Because... ''ARTHUR IS A DODO-BRAIN!?''
:'''Arthur''': Because Arthur is a dodo-brain. ''[Francine can be heard laughing.]'' Stop laughing, Francine! This is it, Francine. If we can't figure out what's wrong with D.W. today, then I give up.
:'''Francine''': I'm telling you, Arthur, we're close. Then you can sleep.
<hr width=50% />
:'''Arthur''': Great, we spent all that money, and we still don't know what's wrong with her, except she's driving me absolutely busalooey, and you know how much I hate that word!

:'''D.W.''': ''[gasps]'' At least my head doesn't look like a football with glasses!
:'''Arthur''': No, your head looks like a big meatloaf with raisins!
:'''Mrs. Read''': We'll be back at 10:30. Here's the phone number. The kids shouldn't need anything.

:'''Arthur''': She started it!
:'''Catherine''': I can handle it. Have a good time!
:'''David''': Thanks. Be good, kids!
:'''Arthur''': She started it.
:'''Catherine''': I have a lot of homework, so why don't you two go play quietly at opposite ends of the house?
:'''D.W.''': I ditch my room!
:'''Arthur''': I wouldn't want to go to your stupid messy girl-room anyway!
:'''D.W.''': Clammy clam-face!
:'''Arthur''': Turtle-breath!
:'''Catherine''': Hey!!
:'''D.W.''': I don't have turtle-breath! Smell!
:'''Catherine''': What's going on here?
:'''D.W.''': He called me turtle-breath!
:'''Catherine''': Why are you in her room?
:'''Arthur''': She took my red crayon.
:'''D.W.''': I had to! It's a castle coloring book! There's a lot of bricks!
:'''Catherine''': D.W., give him his crayon. Arthur, go back to the den.
:'''D.W.''': This isn't working because Arthur knows more words than me. Catherine, you're so smart. What's another word for "boring"?
:'''Catherine''': If you wanna know the words that mean the same as other words, you look in a thesaurus.
:'''D.W.''': I can't read!
:'''Catherine''': I'll look it up for you.
:'''D.W.''': You are tedious!
:'''Arthur''': Huh?
:'''D.W.''': I did it! I did it! I win! Yahoo! Yay!
:'''Arthur''': Tedious, tedious... hey! Do you know another word for "annoying"?
:'''D.W.''': Does the saurus have a word for someone who eats too much cake?
:'''Catherine''': You kids are really working on your vocabulary! I'm so impressed!
:'''D.W.''': You are distended from eating cake. Plus you are both corpulent and adipose.
:'''Arthur''': You are... vapid.
:'''D.W.''': If I'm vapid, you're atrocious and heinous. I bet you don't even know what that means. I do.

Comment - This person is persistent and returns with a differnet IPv6 every time. His POV-pushing is often sneaky and obfuscated; he adds swastikas, anti-vax propaganda, outright racist garbage on pages where it doesn't belong, etc. Often you have to scroll down in a diff, and go to the source of an image, to see what he is doing.

A short explanation for why this username should be blocked: new account that seems to be focused exclusively on Israel and Palestine (a lot of activisty on [[Zionism]] and the [[Palestine]] page). Is deleting many quotes other editors added, contacting some editors but not waiting for responses. It's been disruptive, not sure if it qualifies as vandalism or political activism or just someone who hasn't learned the process yet. [[User:A23423413|A23423413]] ([[User talk:A23423413|talk]]) 15:10, 26 July 2025 (UTC)A23423413, July 26, 2025
:Hello @[[User:A23423413|A23423413]],
:I am sorry if that is how I came across, I did not mean any wrong. You said I "did not wait for a response". You are likely referring to when I pinged you [https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Zionism#c-NorthernWinds-20250726121900-Notability here]. <s>I, in fact, did wait for a response, and did not remove your quote.</s> I have removed quotes which I cannot find secondary sources for, in compliance with [[WQ:FAME]]. If there are any issues with my editing, I believe it is best to contact me and [[WQ:AGF]] before reporting, <s>and misleading others ("not waiting for responses").</s> I do not have an agenda, and if there is a "process" I have yet to learn about, please raise it in my talk page and I'll be more than happy to learn and contribute more in line with guidelines going forward.
:Note: upon second review of the page's history, it appears I did remove your quote, and you are the one who reinstated. I do not remember doing so, and would like to apologize. Could you please respond where I contacted you about the secondary source required for [[WQ:FAME]]?
:Best, [[User:NorthernWinds|NorthernWinds]] ([[User talk:NorthernWinds|talk]]) 15:18, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

* {{Vandal|NorthernWinds}}
posting here about the continued targeted subtractive vandalism by this new user on pages relating to palestine and israel. tagging {{Ping|koavf}} as promised, and also {{Ping|UDScott}}, {{Ping|Kalki}}, and {{Ping|Peter1c}} because they've been involved in talk page discussions with northernwinds. northernwinds, can you tag any editors that you think have shown support for the large cuts you've been trying to make under the notability guideline, so they can particapate in this conversation too?
a timeline of my involvement in what's been happening is something like this:
on july 26 i noticed unusual, subtractive editing on the [[Zionism]] page from a newly created account and reverted it with a note why. northernwinds continued to cut quotes from that page anyway and started to on the [[Palestine]] page as well, so i reported it on the Vandalism in Progress page: "new account that seems to be focused exclusively on Israel and Palestine (a lot of activisty on Zionism and the Palestine page). Is deleting many quotes other editors added, contacting some editors but not waiting for responses. It's been disruptive, not sure if it qualifies as vandalism or political activism or just someone who hasn't learned the process yet." northernwinds posted a defensive paragraph 8 minutes later but no admin responded and that report is now [https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wikiquote:Vandalism_in_progress/Archive/16 archived].
northernwinds continued trying to make large cuts of quotes other editors had added and some of the removals were reverted by admins. on august 5 i reverted their attempted mass quote removal on the [[Palestine]] page and asked them using the edit summary: " which people on the page do you think should not be considered notable? and for the ones that you agree are notable but you think the quote isn't, what is a different quote by them you suggest?" northernwinds posted an evasive response on the palestine talk page, which i responded to there and also said i was going to wait for some kind of feedback from an admin before deciding whether to communicate directly with them again. we both contacted {{Ping|Kalki}} on august 5 and northernwinds has a bolded explanation there that the notability guideline is not a mandate, and august 7 from {{Ping|Peter1c}} on the palestine talk page as well.
on august 12 and 13 i reverted northernwinds attempted mass removal of quotes from the [[Zionism]] and [[Israel]] pages and added the suggestion in the edit summary "if you think we should make subtractive changes as a new editor, list on the talk page the names of the individuals that you think should not be considered notable, and over time we can see if other editors agree or not." and i asked on koavf's talk page: "if you looked at the user's large subtractive edits and their comments on talk pages and didn't/don't interpret it as vandalism, could you write about how what they've been doing is different than cases that you do judge to be vandalism? and if you do spend some time reviewing this situation, do you have any feedback or advice for what i could try to do differently next time i notice a new editor trying to make large cuts to pages like this?"
i have also reverted northernwinds july 31 attempt to remove half of the content other editors had added to the [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]] page
i've been choosing to revert to the version of these pages right before northernwinds started trying to make cuts by misusing the notability guideline because those were most obviously political activism. but northernwinds also made a series of significant cuts to pages on july 3 with the endurance guideline as the explanation, including a third of the quotes that were on the [[Israel]] page. if anyone has already checked if some of those were made in bad faith too or not, can you let us know so we're all on the same page?

:Hello @[[User:A23423413|A23423413]] and @[[User:NorthernWinds|NorthernWinds]]. I am willing to help resolve this disagreement.
:1. I see NorthernWinds is making additions as well as deletions. To me this implies it is problematic to describe NorthenWinds as a vandal. I don't underestimate the value of expressing feelings along with editorial concerns, but precision of language can help avoid unnecessary escalation. See [[WQ:AGF]].
:2. If any disagreement about deletion of a quotation is documented or anticipated, Wikiquote best practice is to move the deleted quotations to the talk page, maintaining them alphabetically, and include detailed explanations for deletions and other editorial actions.

::{{replyto|Koavf}} Thanks, but it'd be better to block that temporary account for three months, which is how long they last ... that would literally only affect that user and would probably give both [[User:Antandrus|Antandrus]] and I more piece of mind.

:Subject: Strong Objection to Deletion – Gani Gashi Wikiquote Page
:Dear editors,
:I am writing to formally object to the proposed deletion of the Wikiquote entry for Gani Gashi, as the page clearly meets the core inclusion standards and contains verifiable, encyclopedic, and culturally relevant material.
:1. Notability and Encyclopedic Value
:Gani Gashi is a recognized contemporary painter whose work has been exhibited, published, and cited in multiple independent sources. His artistic contributions, style, and public presence are documented through reliable coverage in media, exhibitions, catalogues, and scholarly discussions. This satisfies Wikiquote’s and Wikipedia’s general notability guidelines.
:2. Published, Verifiable Quotations
:The quotations included on the page are:
:Published
:Verifiable
:Directly attributed
:Relevant to his artistic philosophy and public contributions
:This aligns precisely with Wikiquote’s purpose: to archive significant quotations from notable individuals whose work impacts culture, art, and public discourse.
:3. Cultural and Artistic Significance
:It is important to recognize that not all volunteers are familiar with regional art history or Balkan contemporary art. However, lack of personal familiarity with an artist cannot serve as grounds for deletion when reliable sources, verifiable quotations, and clear notability exist. Cultural representation on Wikiquote must remain broad and inclusive, not limited only to globally mainstream figures.
:4. No Policy-Based Reason for Deletion
:After reviewing the deletion rationale, I find:
:No concrete policy violation
:No issue with verifiability
:No issue with sourcing
:No copyright concern
:No demonstration that the subject is non-notable
:A deletion without a policy-based justification would go against Wikiquote’s mission of preserving notable cultural contributions.
:5. Request for Fair Review
:I respectfully request:
:A policy-based explanation if deletion continues to be considered
:A fair and neutral review of the sources and quotations
:That the page remain available, as it demonstrably meets inclusion criteria
:Unless clear and specific violations are identified, there is no valid reason under Wikiquote policy for the page to be deleted.
:Thank you for your time, neutrality, and commitment to maintaining a diverse and representative project.
:Kind regards,
:Sadete [[User:GaniGashi11|GaniGashi11]] ([[User talk:GaniGashi11|talk]]) 14:00, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

Could you (or any other admin who sees this) please block the underlying IP (which you can see as an admin and I can see as a temporary account IP viewer)?

Temp address who has done some pretty suspecious edits: take [[Special:Diff/3906458|this]] edit on My Little Pony: Equestria Girls for one, with a scene that doesn't exist in the original (evident because of the swearing which isn't in the film proper). There's also [[Special:Diff/3922034|this]] edit on the Total Drama page featuring two deleted scenes which don't exist at all (and feature characters who AREN'T from Total Drama). [[Special:Diff/3472605|A similar edit]] was done a couple years back on the Total Drama Action page, featuring the same selection of characters (and whoever "1Smash18" is), so it's obvious this person is SoulEaterFan (some edit summaries insist that "SoulEaterFan doesn't exist", but evidence suggests otherwise.

'''''[[w:Marvel Zombies (miniseries)|Marvel Zombies]]''''' is a 2025 adult animated television miniseries created by Bryan Andrews and Zeb Wells for the streaming service [[w:Disney+|Disney+]], based on the Marvel Comics series of the same name. It is intended to be the 16th television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) from Marvel Studios and is produced by Marvel Studios Animation. The series is set in the alternate timeline introduced in the "[[w:What If... Zombies?!|What If... Zombies?!]]" (2021) episode of the animated series [[What If...?|''What If...?'']] (2021–2024). Continuing from that episode, ''Marvel Zombies'' follows a group of survivors as they risk their lives fighting superpowered zombies to save the world. Andrews served as showrunner and director, with Wells as head writer.
''Marvel Zombies'' was released on Disney+ on September 24, 2025, and consists of four episodes. It is a part of Phase Six of the MCU. A continuation to the series is in development.

==Episodes==
===Episode 1===
''[episode begins with Kate Bishop shooting a zombie in the head with her arrow before she, Riri Williams, Kamala Khan and F.R.I.D.A.Y. (operating in the body of Zombie Tony Stark with the head of a teddy bear) walk around the now deserted New York City]''
:'''Riri Williams''': Anybody else concerned about the lack of zombies here?
:'''Kate Bishop''': Eh. Predators tend to move on when the food does.
:'''Kamala Khan''': ''[in an abandoned supermarket, she finds a can of tomato soup]'' Awesome. ''[whispers to Kate and Riri]'' Look what I found.
''[suddenly, they hear an engine rumbling, and spot a Quinjet passing by the city]''
:'''Kate Bishop''': Whoa! Was that a...
:'''All''': ''[unison]'' Quinjet?
:'''Riri Williams''': Model 36 XT.
:'''Kate Bishop''': God, you’re good.
:'''Kamala Khan''': ''[chuckles]''
:'''Riri Williams''': Come on. We’re going after it.
:'''Kamala Khan''': Could there be survivors?
:'''Riri Williams''': Probably not. But that bird has got to be full of gear.
----
:'''Kate Bishop''': ''(with the trick arrow she took from Hawkeye)'' Let's see what this baby’s got. ''(shoots the arrow at Zombie Captain Marvel, but the arrow is revealed to be a confetti arrow)'' Shit.
''(she is soon vaporized by Captain Marvel's energy beams)''
----
''[Melina is checking on the transmitter device Kamala brought]''
:'''Melina Vostokoff''': Hmm, the device emits an encrypted subspace frequency specifically designed to contact an intergalactic authority called the Nova Corps.
:'''Kamala Khan''': ''[sighs]'' So Riri was right.
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': Why call space people?
:'''Melina Vostokoff''': S.H.I.E.L.D. believed they have the technology to heal our world.
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': Great. Turn it on. Let’s save the world.
:'''Kamala Khan''': Uh, yes. Yes. Good… good ideas.
:'''Melina Vostokoff''': We can’t. Fallout from the Wakanda events scatter signals in our atmosphere. No radio waves get out or make it in. The broadcast would have to be from outside our atmosphere.
:'''Kamala Khan''': Um, what, like space?
:'''Melina Vostokoff''': Exactly. That was the plan. But just before deployment could happen, their base was overrun by a zombie horde. They must have miniaturized it with Pym Particles to smuggle it out.
:'''Yelena Belova''': They must have been desperate.
:'''Kamala Khan''': Yep. Desperate enough to swallow it afterwards.
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': Ugh. How do you know that?
:'''Kamala Khan''': Uh, just trust me. ''[Alexei groans]'' Look, what’s important is that Kate and Riri were right, and this device could change everything.
:'''Melina Vostokoff''': If we get it outside the atmosphere.
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': Outer space. Ohho. That should be easy. I’ll just build this girl and her strange friend a rocket. Hmm? This is ridiculous. Maybe Khonshu man can take it to space. Can you go to space, Khonshu man?
:'''Blade''': Shh. Quiet. They have found us.
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': What? ''[alarm blares]'' Who found us?
:'''Blade''': The zombie horde.
''[Melina checks on the security cameras, which showcase Zombie Okoye]''
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': Hmm, it’s just one person. There’s no horde. You call one zombie a horde?
:'''Melina Vostokoff''': No, it’s the red eyes I am noticing.
:'''Yelena Belova''': Hmm. Is she with you?
:'''Blade''': She is a scion of the Queen.
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': What queen?
:'''Blade''': The Queen of the Dead. Wanda Maximoff.
:'''Kamala Khan''': Uh… The… The Avenger?
''[cut to Zombie Okoye outside]''
:'''Zombie Okoye''': What we seek is here.
''[zombified Abomination, Ghost, Hawkeye and a half-bodied Captain America appear]''
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': ''(seeing Zombie Captain America; excited)'' Captain America. Finally, the battle they will sing about for ages.
''[more zombies appear]''
:'''Yelena Belova''': Hey, Daddy, look, there’s the horde.
:'''Kamala Khan''': I think ''(referring to the transmitter)'' this is what they want.
===Episode 2===
''(Shang Chi has the Ten Rings, and he and some of the survivors are evacuated from San Francisco)''
:'''Denise''': So? What do we do now?
:'''Shang-Chi''': We survive.
----
:'''Helmut Zemo''': I look at you... and I see your journeys etched in your faces. The hardships you've endured. You've sacrificed so much. Let us honor the ones we have lost. The ones we wish could have joined us. They are still with us, though they are not here. We will not forget them, no matter how far we travel. We honor them as we take safety in the ocean depths.
----
:'''Zombie Okoye''': They think themselves safe. No one is safe.
===Episode 3===
''(in a flashback, the cliffhanger of '''[[What If...?]]''' episode "What If... Zombies?!" (featuring Peter Parker, Scott Lang, and T'Challa arriving in Wakanda, only to be confronted by Zombie Thanos) is revealed)''
:'''Peter Parker''': ''[narrating]'' I want to tell you the story of how we fixed everything. How we used the Mind Stone and Wakandan tech to cure every zombie on the planet. But I can’t. Because it’s not what happened. Something was waiting for us. Something that we had been warned about. Thanos. He wanted the Mind Stone. But after T’Challa saw what he was doing to Wakanda, he wasn’t in a giving mood. Thanos had unimaginable power, but his infected brain couldn’t focus it. T’Challa saw it before we did. Zombie Thanos was learning. It wouldn’t be long before he was… ''unstoppable''. Things were looking bad. I mean, we were outnumbered. And then we weren’t. You see, Thor, he had a score to settle. But that’s not the story, either. It all seemed hopeless. Thanos turned the Golden City inside out, exposing the molten vibranium in its reactor’s core. I heard T’Challa say “Wakanda forever,” quietly, like… Like he knew that it was the last time. T’Challa saved the universe. Every single one of us.

''(after Valkyrie threatens the survivors with death unless they leave, Blade evokes his pantheon, Khonshu)''
:'''Khonshu''': I am the Moon God, Khonshu. Has the world changed so much that the Asgardians no longer recognize my deity?
:'''Valkyrie''': Khonshu… ''[laughing]'' My God! You little bird head bastard! How you been, man? ''(cut to the survivors, who are unable to see Khonshu; distant voice)'' I haven’t seen you in so long…
''(as Valkyrie speaks, we hear the other survivors)''
:'''Katy''': ''(confused)'' Uh… Sorry. Who is she talking to?
:'''Jimmy Woo''': I have no idea.
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': Maybe his imaginary friend is real?
:'''Shang-Chi''': Yeah, I mean, at this point, why not?
:'''Helmut Zemo''': ''[sighs]'' I miss my boat.
===Episode 4===
''(Kamala is remembering her fallen friends and allies, as a tear slides in her face. She is approached by Shang-Chi)''
:'''Shang-Chi''': You freaking out, too?
:'''Kamala Khan''': I’m not scared. It’s something else.
:'''Shang-Chi''': Talk to me.
:'''Kamala Khan''': I asked all of you to follow me, to give up everything on the chance we could fix things. And I was wrong. It was all for nothing. Wanda said she needs me. What if she wants me to go to Paris?
:'''Shang-Chi''': You’re right. We can’t know for sure, but we have to hold on to hope. I mean, you saw Thor drinking his life away in defeat, regret in his eyes. But in the end, what he really wanted was one last chance to fight. And you gave that to him. You gave that to all of us. I’ll always be grateful to you for that. And if we have one more, I’m gonna take it.
:'''Kamala Khan''': You sure?
:'''Shang-Chi''': Hey, we have to win one of these eventually, don’t we? Also, am I crazy or did Thor kind of make you an Avenger back there? ''[Kamala then hugs him]'' Oh. ''[chuckles]'' That’s a hug.
:'''Kamala Khan''': ''[sighs]'' Thank you.
:'''Shang-Chi''': All right, pal. Come on. Enough sittin’ around. We’ve got a world to save.

'''''[[w:Marvel Zombies (miniseries)|Marvel Zombies]]''''' is a 2025 adult animated television series created by Bryan Andrews and Zeb Wells for the streaming service [[w:Disney+|Disney+]], based on the Marvel Comics series of the same name. It is intended to be the 16th television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) from Marvel Studios and is produced by Marvel Studios Animation. The series is set in the alternate timeline introduced in the "[[w:What If... Zombies?!|What If... Zombies?!]]" (2021) episode of the animated series [[What If...?|''What If...?'']] (2021–2024). Continuing from that episode, ''Marvel Zombies'' follows a group of survivors as they risk their lives fighting superpowered zombies to save the world. Andrews served as showrunner and director, with Wells as head writer.
''Marvel Zombies'' was released on Disney+ on September 24, 2025, and consists of four episodes. It is a part of Phase Six of the MCU. A second season is in development.

==Season 1==
===Episode 1===
''[episode begins with Kate Bishop shooting a zombie in the head with her arrow before she, Riri Williams, Kamala Khan and F.R.I.D.A.Y. (operating in the body of Zombie Tony Stark with the head of a teddy bear) walk around the now deserted New York City]''
:'''Riri Williams''': Anybody else concerned about the lack of zombies here?
:'''Kate Bishop''': Eh. Predators tend to move on when the food does.
:'''Kamala Khan''': ''[in an abandoned supermarket, she finds a can of tomato soup]'' Awesome. ''[whispers to Kate and Riri]'' Look what I found.
''[suddenly, they hear an engine rumbling, and spot a Quinjet passing by the city]''
:'''Kate Bishop''': Whoa! Was that a...
:'''All''': ''[unison]'' Quinjet?
:'''Riri Williams''': Model 36 XT.
:'''Kate Bishop''': God, you’re good.
:'''Kamala Khan''': ''[chuckles]''
:'''Riri Williams''': Come on. We’re going after it.
:'''Kamala Khan''': Could there be survivors?
:'''Riri Williams''': Probably not. But that bird has got to be full of gear.
----
:'''Kate Bishop''': ''(with the trick arrow she took from Hawkeye)'' Let's see what this baby’s got. ''(shoots the arrow at Zombie Captain Marvel, but the arrow is revealed to be a confetti arrow)'' Shit.
''(she is soon vaporized by Captain Marvel's energy beams)''
----
''[Melina is checking on the transmitter device Kamala brought]''
:'''Melina Vostokoff''': Hmm, the device emits an encrypted subspace frequency specifically designed to contact an intergalactic authority called the Nova Corps.
:'''Kamala Khan''': ''[sighs]'' So Riri was right.
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': Why call space people?
:'''Melina Vostokoff''': S.H.I.E.L.D. believed they have the technology to heal our world.
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': Great. Turn it on. Let’s save the world.
:'''Kamala Khan''': Uh, yes. Yes. Good… good ideas.
:'''Melina Vostokoff''': We can’t. Fallout from the Wakanda events scatter signals in our atmosphere. No radio waves get out or make it in. The broadcast would have to be from outside our atmosphere.
:'''Kamala Khan''': Um, what, like space?
:'''Melina Vostokoff''': Exactly. That was the plan. But just before deployment could happen, their base was overrun by a zombie horde. They must have miniaturized it with Pym Particles to smuggle it out.
:'''Yelena Belova''': They must have been desperate.
:'''Kamala Khan''': Yep. Desperate enough to swallow it afterwards.
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': Ugh. How do you know that?
:'''Kamala Khan''': Uh, just trust me. ''[Alexei groans]'' Look, what’s important is that Kate and Riri were right, and this device could change everything.
:'''Melina Vostokoff''': If we get it outside the atmosphere.
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': Outer space. Ohho. That should be easy. I’ll just build this girl and her strange friend a rocket. Hmm? This is ridiculous. Maybe Khonshu man can take it to space. Can you go to space, Khonshu man?
:'''Blade''': Shh. Quiet. They have found us.
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': What? ''[alarm blares]'' Who found us?
:'''Blade''': The zombie horde.
''[Melina checks on the security cameras, which showcase Zombie Okoye]''
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': Hmm, it’s just one person. There’s no horde. You call one zombie a horde?
:'''Melina Vostokoff''': No, it’s the red eyes I am noticing.
:'''Yelena Belova''': Hmm. Is she with you?
:'''Blade''': She is a scion of the Queen.
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': What queen?
:'''Blade''': The Queen of the Dead. Wanda Maximoff.
:'''Kamala Khan''': Uh… The… The Avenger?
''[cut to Zombie Okoye outside]''
:'''Zombie Okoye''': What we seek is here.
''[zombified Abomination, Ghost, Hawkeye and a half-bodied Captain America appear]''
:'''Alexei Shostakov''': ''(seeing Zombie Captain America; excited)'' Captain America. Finally, the battle they will sing about for ages.
''[more zombies appear]''
:'''Yelena Belova''': Hey, Daddy, look, there’s the horde.
:'''Kamala Khan''': I think ''(referring to the transmitter)'' this is what they want.
===Episode 2===
''(Shang Chi has the Ten Rings, and he and some of the survivors are evacuated from San Francisco)''
:'''Denise''': So? What do we do now?
:'''Shang-Chi''': We survive.

I heard T’Challa say “Wakanda forever,” quietly, like… Like he knew that it was the last time. T’Challa saved the universe. Every single one of us.

''(after Valkyrie threatens the survivors with death unless they leave, Blade evokes his pantheon, Khonshu)''
:'''Khonshu''': I am the Moon God, Khonshu. Has the world changed so much that the Asgardians no longer recognize my deity?
:'''Valkyrie''': Khonshu… ''[laughing]'' My God! You little bird head bastard! How you been, man? ''(cut to the survivors, who are unable to see Khonshu; distant voice)'' I haven’t seen you in so long…

* I am happy that FIFA is investigating the matter because it will provide an opportunity for my name to be cleared of all the allegations
* I shall cooperate throughout the investigations because I want my name to be cleared and people should know the truth
* The accusers have always hidden under the guise of social media and have never identified any victim in this entire episode. I have always been ready to cooperate with any investigations….. I hope once everything is concluded, the allegations will be put to rest

To me its good and the way we have improved from the time I started coaching this team, we have managed to go to all major tournaments.

* As far as I'm concerned, we cannot consider ourselves as underdogs

==== January 2025 ====
* The privilege of United States citizenship is a priceless and profound gift. The Fourteenth Amendment states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” That provision rightly repudiated the Supreme Court of the United States’s shameful decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. (19 How.) 393 (1857), which misinterpreted the Constitution as permanently excluding people of African descent from eligibility for United States citizenship solely based on their race.<br>But the Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified through legislation that “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is a national and citizen of the United States at birth, 8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment’s text.<br>Among the categories of individuals born in the United States and not subject to the jurisdiction thereof, the privilege of United States citizenship does not automatically extend to persons born in the United States: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States at the time of said person’s birth was lawful but temporary (such as, but not limited to, visiting the United States under the auspices of the Visa Waiver Program or visiting on a student, work, or tourist visa) and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth.
** [[Donald Trump]], [https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-the-meaning-and-value-of-american-citizenship/Executive Order 14160: Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship], 20 January 2025
* It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth.

* Without DEI, we are told, hiring and promotions will be merit-based. Make no mistake though, merit has traditionally been liberally peppered with cronyism and good-ol’-boy-ism. Now add to that fealty to the Trump Administration rather than the Constitution.<br>The reality is that Fagan’s firing has nothing to do with bolstering national security. Just the opposite. It is part of a regressive social agenda to put women back in their place, misogyny being the glue that holds together the many racist, anti-immigration, LGBTQ+ and other hate groups that have been unleashed in America.

* It is worth noting as well that it was President Donald Trump who signed the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Act in 2017, mandating the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) that recognizes the links between gender and security and therefore seeks to bolster women’s participation in security affairs. UNSCR 1325 is built upon four pillars: participation, prevention, protection, and relief and recovery efforts. WPS emphasizes the need for inclusive diversity (women having not just a seat, but a voice at decision-making tables) and consideration of how policies and programs affect men, women, boys and girls differently.

* Her firing was an insult to Fagan’s career and legacy and will have significant negative national security implications.<br>The Trump Administration has vowed to end “radical and wasteful” government DEI programs. “A woke military is a weak military” DEI critics like to say. Actually, however, a well-executed DEI program can address challenges being faced by the military. Those challenges are sometimes referred to as the “5 Rs”: recruitment, retention, readiness, resources and risk to force/risk to mission.

* Firing Fagan was likely just the first salvo in ridding the Pentagon, and the government generally, of individuals who support diversity. What’s the next chapter? The path forward is no longer visible, just like the Coast Guard web page that used to feature Fagan’s photo and biography.

* Across the country, ideologues who deny the biological reality of sex have increasingly used legal and other socially coercive means to permit men to self-identify as women and gain access to intimate single-sex spaces and activities designed for women, from women’s domestic abuse shelters to women’s workplace showers. This is wrong. Efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex fundamentally attack women by depriving them of their dignity, safety, and well-being. The erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the validity of the entire American system. Basing Federal policy on truth is critical to scientific inquiry, public safety, morale, and trust in government itself.<br>This unhealthy road is paved by an ongoing and purposeful attack against the ordinary and longstanding use and understanding of biological and scientific terms, replacing the immutable biological reality of sex with an internal, fluid, and subjective sense of self unmoored from biological facts. Invalidating the true and biological category of “woman” improperly transforms laws and policies designed to protect sex-based opportunities into laws and policies that undermine them, replacing longstanding, cherished legal rights and values with an identity-based, inchoate social concept.<br>Accordingly, my Administration will defend women’s rights and protect freedom of conscience by using clear and accurate language and policies that recognize women are biologically female, and men are biologically male.

* “Gender ideology” replaces the biological category of sex with an ever-shifting concept of self-assessed gender identity, permitting the false claim that males can identify as and thus become women and vice versa, and requiring all institutions of society to regard this false claim as true. Gender ideology includes the idea that there is a vast spectrum of genders that are disconnected from one’s sex. Gender ideology is internally inconsistent, in that it diminishes sex as an identifiable or useful category but nevertheless maintains that it is possible for a person to be born in the wrong sexed body.
** [[Donald Trump]], [https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/Executive Order 14168: "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government"], 20 January 2025
* Agencies shall remove all statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications, or other internal and external messages that promote or otherwise inculcate gender ideology, and shall cease issuing such statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications or other messages. Agency forms that require an individual’s sex shall list male or female, and shall not request gender identity. Agencies shall take all necessary steps, as permitted by law, to end the Federal funding of gender ideology.

* By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:<br>Section 1. Policy and Purpose. Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions. This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end.<br>Countless children soon regret that they have been mutilated and begin to grasp the horrifying tragedy that they will never be able to conceive children of their own or nurture their children through breastfeeding. Moreover, these vulnerable youths’ medical bills may rise throughout their lifetimes, as they are often trapped with lifelong medical complications, a losing war with their own bodies, and, tragically, sterilization.<br>Accordingly, it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called “transition” of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.
** [[Donald Trump]], [https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-children-from-chemical-and-surgical-mutilation/Executive Order 14187: "Protect Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation"], 28 January 2025
* The phrase “chemical and surgical mutilation” means the use of puberty blockers, including GnRH agonists and other interventions, to delay the onset or progression of normally timed puberty in an individual who does not identify as his or her sex; the use of sex hormones, such as androgen blockers, estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone, to align an individual’s physical appearance with an identity that differs from his or her sex; and surgical procedures that attempt to transform an individual’s physical appearance to align with an identity that differs from his or her sex or that attempt to alter or remove an individual’s sexual organs to minimize or destroy their natural biological functions. This phrase sometimes is referred to as “gender affirming care.”
** [[Donald Trump]], [https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-children-from-chemical-and-surgical-mutilation/Executive Order 14187: "Protect Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation"], 28 January 2025
* Sec. 3. Ending Reliance on Junk Science. (a) The blatant harm done to children by chemical and surgical mutilation cloaks itself in medical necessity, spurred by guidance from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which lacks scientific integrity. In light of the scientific concerns with the WPATH guidance:<br>(i) agencies shall rescind or amend all policies that rely on WPATH guidance, including WPATH’s “Standards of Care Version 8”; and<br>(ii) within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) shall publish a review of the existing literature on best practices for promoting the health of children who assert gender dysphoria, rapid-onset gender dysphoria, or other identity-based confusion.<br>(b) The Secretary of HHS, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, shall use all available methods to increase the quality of data to guide practices for improving the health of minors with gender dysphoria, rapid-onset gender dysphoria, or other identity-based confusion, or who otherwise seek chemical or surgical mutilation.

* Sec. 4. Defunding Chemical and Surgical Mutilation. The head of each executive department or agency (agency) that provides research or education grants to medical institutions, including medical schools and hospitals, shall, consistent with applicable law and in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, immediately take appropriate steps to ensure that institutions receiving Federal research or education grants end the chemical and surgical mutilation of children.
** [[Donald Trump]], [https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-children-from-chemical-and-surgical-mutilation/Executive Order 14187: "Protect Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation"], 28 January 2025
* Sec. 6. TRICARE. The Department of Defense provides health insurance, through TRICARE, to nearly 2 million individuals under the age of 18. As appropriate and consistent with applicable law, the Secretary of Defense shall commence a rulemaking or sub-regulatory action to exclude chemical and surgical mutilation of children from TRICARE coverage and amend the TRICARE provider handbook to exclude chemical and surgical mutilation of children.
** [[Donald Trump]], [https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-children-from-chemical-and-surgical-mutilation/Executive Order 14187: "Protect Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation"], 28 January 2025
* Imprinting anti-American, subversive, harmful, and false ideologies on our Nation’s children not only violates longstanding anti-discrimination civil rights law in many cases, but usurps basic parental authority. For example, steering students toward surgical and chemical mutilation without parental consent or involvement or allowing males access to private spaces designated for females may contravene Federal laws that protect parental rights, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), and sex-based equality and opportunity, including Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX). Similarly, demanding acquiescence to “White Privilege” or “unconscious bias,” actually promotes racial discrimination and undermines national unity.

* Within 90 days of the date of this order, to advise the President in formulating future policy, the Secretary of Education, the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Attorney General, shall provide an Ending Indoctrination Strategy to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, containing recommendations and a plan for:<br>(i) eliminating Federal funding or support for illegal and discriminatory treatment and indoctrination in K-12 schools, including based on gender ideology and discriminatory equity ideology<br>(ii) protecting parental rights, pursuant to FERPA, 20 U.S.C. 1232g, and the PPRA, 20 U.S.C. 1232h, with respect to any K-12 policies or conduct implicated by the purpose and policy of this order.<br>(b) The Ending Indoctrination Strategy submitted under subsection (a) of this section shall contain a summary and analysis of the following:<br>(i) All Federal funding sources and streams, including grants or contracts, that directly or indirectly support or subsidize the instruction, advancement, or promotion of gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology:<br>(A) in K-12 curriculum, instruction, programs, or activities; or<br>(B) in K-12 teacher education, certification, licensing, employment, or training;<br>(ii) Each agency’s process to prevent or rescind Federal funds, to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law, from being used by an ESA, SEA, LEA, elementary school, or secondary school to directly or indirectly support or subsidize the instruction, advancement, or promotion of gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology in:<br>(A) K-12 curriculum, instruction, programs, or activities; or<br>(B) K-12 teacher certification, licensing, employment, or training;<br>(iii) Each agency’s process to prevent or rescind Federal funds, to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law, from being used by an ESA, SEA, LEA, elementary school, or secondary school to directly or indirectly support or subsidize the social transition of a minor student, including through school staff or teachers or through deliberately concealing the minor’s social transition from the minor’s parents.

===== Inaugural Address (January 20th, 2025) =====
*From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world. We will be the envy of every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer. During every single day of the Trump administration, I will very simply put America first.
*My recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal and all of these many betrayals that have taken place and to give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy, and, indeed, their freedom. From this moment on, America’s decline is over.
*Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin’s bullet ripped through my ear. But I felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason. '''I was saved by God to Make America Great Again.'''
*Today, I will sign a series of historic executive orders. With these actions, we will begin the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense. It’s all about common sense.
*We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into. My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. That’s what I want to be. A peacemaker and a unifier.
*I stand before you now as proof that you should never believe that something is impossible to do. In America, the impossible is what we do best.
*We will stand bravely, we will live proudly, we will dream boldly, and nothing will stand in our way because we are Americans. The future is ours, and our golden age has just begun.

==== February 2025 ====
* By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and to protect opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and fair sports, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Policy and Purpose. In recent years, many educational institutions and athletic associations have allowed men to compete in women’s sports. This is demeaning, unfair, and dangerous to women and girls, and denies women and girls the equal opportunity to participate and excel in competitive sports.<br>Therefore, it is the policy of the United States to rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities, which results in the endangerment, humiliation, and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy. It shall also be the policy of the United States to oppose male competitive participation in women’s sports more broadly, as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth.

* The Secretary of State, including through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs’ Sports Diplomacy Division and the Representative of the United States of America to the United Nations, shall:<br>(i) rescind support for and participation in people-to-people sports exchanges or other sports programs within which the relevant female sports category is based on identity and not sex

*They haven’t done that [attempted to assassinate Trump] and that would be a terrible thing for them to do. Not because of me— if they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end. I’ve left instructions, if they do it, they get obliterated, there won’t be anything left.

*The only reason the Palestinians want to go back to Gaza is they have no alternative. It's right now a demolition site. This is just a demolition site. Virtually every building is down. They're living under fallen concrete that's very dangerous and very precarious. They instead can occupy all of a beautiful area with homes and safety and they can live out their lives in peace and harmony instead of having to go back and do it again. The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too. We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out. Create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do a real job, do something different.<br>... So, by the United States, with its stability and strength, owning it, especially the strength that we're developing and developed over the last fairly short period of time, I would say really since the election, I think we'll be a great keeper of something that is very, very strong, very powerful and very, very good for the area, not just for Israel, for the entire Middle East.<br>... I do see a long-term ownership position and I see it bringing great stability to that part of the Middle East, and maybe the entire Middle East. And everybody I've spoken to - this was not a decision made lightly. Everybody I've spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent in a really magnificent area that nobody would know.

*We’re very disappointed with the judges that would make such a ruling. But we have a long way to go. We have to look, we have to find all of the fraud that’s going on. We have tremendous fraud, tremendous waste, and tremendous abuse, and theft, by the way. And the day you’re not allowed to look for theft and fraud, et cetera, then we don’t have much of a country. So, no judge should frankly be allowed to make that kind of a decision. It’s a disgrace.

* America is back.<br /> Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of America. From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country. <br /> We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years, or eight years, and we are just getting started.
* The American dream is unstoppable, and our country is on the verge of a comeback the likes of which the world has never witnessed and perhaps will never witness again. There's never been anything like it. <br /> The presidential election of November 5 was a mandate like has not been seen in many decades. We won all seven swing states, giving us an electoral college victory of 312 votes.
* Over the past six weeks, I have signed nearly 100 executive orders and taken more than 400 executive actions — a record — to restore common sense, safety, optimism and wealth all across our wonderful land. The people elected me to do the job, and I'm doing it.
* In fact, it has been stated by many that the first month of our presidency — it's our presidency — is the most successful in the history of our nation. And what makes it even more impressive is that, do you know No. 2 is? [[George Washington]]. How about that? I don't know about that list. But we'll take it.
* Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared a national emergency on our southern border, and I deployed the US military and border patrol to repel the invasion of our country. And what a job they've done. As a result, illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest ever recorded. Ever.<br /> They heard my words and they chose not to come — much easier that way. In comparison, under Joe Biden, the worst president in American history, there were hundreds of thousands of illegal crossings a month, and virtually all of them, including murderers, drug dealers, gang members and people from mental institutions and insane asylums, were released into our country. Who would want to do that?
* Every day, my administration is fighting to deliver the change America needs, to bring a future that America deserves, and we're doing it. This is a time for big dreams and bold action. Upon taking office, I imposed an immediate freeze on all federal hiring, a freeze on all new federal regulations and a freeze on all foreign aid. <br /> I terminated the ridiculous green new scam. I withdrew from the unfair Paris Climate Accord, which was costing us trillions of dollars that other countries were not paying. I withdrew from the corrupt World Health Organization. And I also withdrew from the anti-American UN Human Rights Council.
* We ordered all federal workers to return to the office. They will either show up for work in person or be removed from their job. <br /> And we've ended weaponized government, where, as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent, like me. How did that work out? Not too good. Not too good.
* I've stopped all [[government]] [[censorship]] and brought back [[free speech]] in America. It's back. <br /> And two days ago, I signed an order making [[English language|English]] the official [[language]] of the [[United States of America]]. <br /> I renamed the [[w:Gulf of Mexico|Gulf of Mexico]] the Gulf of America. And likewise, I renamed, for a great president, [[William McKinley]], [[w:Denali|Mount McKinley]], again. Beautiful [[Alaska]], we love Alaska. <br /> We've ended the [[tyranny]] of so-called [[diversity]], [[equity]] and [[w:Inclusion (education|inclusion]] policies all across the entire federal government, and indeed the private sector, and our military. And our country will be [[w:Woke|woke]] no longer.
* To further combat inflation, we will not only be reducing the cost of energy, but will be ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars. <br /> And to that end, I have created the brand-new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE. Perhaps you've heard of it. Perhaps. <br /> Which is headed by [[Elon Musk]], who is in the gallery tonight. Thank you Elon, you're working very hard. He didn't need this. He didn't need this. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. <br /> Everybody here, even this side, appreciates it, I believe. They just don't want to admit that.
* I want to do what has not been done in 24 years: balance the federal budget — we're going to balance it. <br /> With that goal in mind, we have developed in great detail what we are calling the gold card, which goes on sale very, very soon. For $5 million we will allow the most successful, job-creating people from all over the world to buy a path to US citizenship. It's like the green card, but better and more sophisticated.
* We're getting wokeness out of our schools and out of our military, and it's already out, and it's out of our society. We don't want it. Wokeness is troubled. Wokeness is bad. It's gone. It's gone. And we feel so much better for it, don't we? Don't we feel better?
* To further enhance our national security, my administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal, and we've already started doing it. <br /> Just today, a large American company announced they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal and lots of other things having to do with the Panama Canal and a couple of other canals.
* I also have a message tonight for the incredible people of [[w:Greenland|Greenland]]. We strongly support your right to determine your own future. And if you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America. We need Greenland for national security and even international security. And we're working with everybody involved to try and get it. <br /> But we need it really for international world security. And I think we're going to get it. One way or the other, we're going to get it. We will keep you safe. We will make you rich, and together we will take Greenland to heights like you have never thought possible before. It's a very small population, but a very, very large piece of land and very, very important for military security.
* Earlier today, I received an important letter from President Zelensky of Ukraine. The letter reads, "Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer." "Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians," he said. "My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump's strong leadership to get a peace that lasts. We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time that is convenient for you." <br /> I appreciate that he sent this letter, just got it a little while ago. Simultaneously, we've had serious discussions with Russia and have received strong signals that they are ready for peace. Wouldn't that be beautiful? Wouldn't that be beautiful?
* Now it is our time to take up the righteous cause of American liberty. And it is our turn to take America's destiny into our own hands and begin the most thrilling days in the history of our country. <br /> This will be our greatest era. With God's help over the next four years, we are going to lead this nation even higher. <br /> And we are going to forge the freest, most advanced, most dynamic and most dominant civilization ever to exist on the face of this Earth. <br /> We are going to create the highest quality of life, build the safest and wealthiest and healthiest and most vital communities anywhere in the world. <br /> We are going to conquer the vast frontiers of science, and we are going to lead humanity into space and plant the American flag on the planet Mars, and even far beyond. <br /> And through it all, we are going to rediscover the unstoppable power of the American spirit. And we are going to renew unlimited promise of the American dream. Every single day we will stand up and we will fight, fight, fight for the country our citizens believe in, and for the country our people deserve. <br /> My fellow Americans, get ready for an incredible future because the golden age of America has only just begun. <br /> It will be like nothing that has ever been seen before.

* Since Trump’s inauguration, something in the American psyche has ruptured. The comforting fictions we were raised on—the permanence of democracy, the inevitability of progress, the moral arc bending obediently toward justice—have begun to decay in the open air. And as the facade crumbles, many find themselves in the throes of a bitter realization: that democracy, like any living thing, must be tended, and we—distracted, sedated, entertained into stupor—have neglected the garden.<br>But for some of us, this is not an awakening. It’s confirmation. The slow creep of authoritarian rot has long been visible to those unwilling to mistake noise for substance. We’ve seen it metastasize in school board meetings, in voter suppression bills dressed up as “security,” in pundits who speak in slogans and legislate in spite. This isn’t a glitch in the system—it is the system, finally baring its teeth.<br>American fascism doesn’t arrive with marching boots and armbands. It comes wearing a flag pin and smiling through lies. It speaks the language of liberty while gutting its meaning, builds walls while preaching unity, demands law and order while desecrating both. Its genius lies in its banality—it doesn’t shock, it numbs. It doesn’t seize power all at once; it convinces you to hand it over piece by piece, until all that’s left is the echo of your own consent.

* And yet, even now, something resists. The illusion is fracturing. The machine groans. Some of those once entranced by the spectacle are blinking their way back to awareness. The slogans ring hollow. The outrage feels manufactured. The enemy-of-the-week carousel begins to look more like a grift than a gospel.<br>To those beginning to see it—whether with regret, disbelief, or shame—there is no need to grovel. There is no moral utility in self-flagellation. Simply step in. Join the ranks of those who refuse to be further weaponized against their own future. Redemption, in this case, is not spiritual—it’s civic.<br>But understand this: the middle ground is gone. It’s not that nuance is dead; it’s that the stakes have outgrown equivocation. This is not about partisan preference. It is about whether the society we pass on values truth or convenience, solidarity or submission.<br>Despair, seductive though it is, must be treated like any other form of propaganda: with suspicion. It flatters the ego while paralyzing the will. It tells you that caring is futile, that resistance is symbolic, that apathy is sophistication. But despair is not wisdom—it is surrender dressed in intellect’s clothing.

* So yes—feel the rage. Let it bloom. But refine it. Make it do work. The answer to this moment is not retreat, and it is certainly not moderation disguised as maturity. The answer is engagement—real, sustained, imperfect engagement. The kind that builds something worth defending.<br>Because no one is coming to save us. There is no parent, no party, no perfectly articulated policy that will reverse this decline on its own. There’s only us—flawed, fatigued, infuriated, but still tethered to a vision of something better. Still capable of defiance. Still able to remember who we are.<br>And here is what must be remembered: this unraveling is not ordained. It is not gravity. It is not some immutable law of nature dragging us toward darkness. It is permissioned—enabled by what we tolerate, fueled by what we ignore, and shaped entirely by what we allow. History is not written in stone. It is etched moment by moment by human hands—hands that can just as easily build as they can destroy.<br>We forget sometimes that there is no “they” without us. The enforcers of tyranny have neighbors. Families. Old friends. Someone taught them to ride a bike, to read, to pray. Someone loved them. And someone, still, might reach them.

* This is how we change the course—not with brute force, but with brave conversation. Not by outgunning, but by outlasting. By planting the seeds of doubt where loyalty once lived. By offering an outstretched hand in place of a clenched fist. By refusing to see each other as lost causes.<br>Violence is not the only language of resistance. Our refusal—clear, calm, unyielding, nonviolent —is itself a form of rebellion. Every time we persuade instead of punish, every time we refuse to dehumanize even those who’ve lost their way, we reclaim a piece of the world we want to live in.<br>Because at the end of it all, we are bound to each other—whether we like it or not. There is no exit from the shared human condition. Someone always knows someone. Someone always has a choice. And sometimes, all it takes is one defector in the right place, one refusal at the right moment, one person willing to say “no”—and mean it—for the whole damn machine to grind to a halt.<br>So remember: this isn’t hopeless, unless we make it so. This isn’t fate, unless we accept it as such. This is ours. This is still ours.<br>And when they ask what we did while the fire was rising, we will say: we remembered our humanity.<br>We remembered each other.<br>And we stood—together.

* '''Terry Gross''': "Are you playing any official or unofficial role on Harvard's legal strategy or decision-making?"<br>'''Noah Feldman''': "No. The university follows a good policy of creating a wall between its lawyers who represent it and its law faculty who have lots of ideas about how it should be represented. So my primary role is as a constitutional scholar, analyzing the issues, writing about them, speaking about them. And that's the right job for me in this moment."
** [[Noah Feldman]] in an interview with Terry Gross on 3 June 2025, [https://www.npr.org/2025/06/04/nx-s1-5422325/trumps-billion-dollar-war-on-harvard-explained/"Trump's billion-dollar war on Harvard, explained"], NPR, 4 June 2025
* A year ago, Harvard's commencement, our graduation, was really, in a significant way, disrupted by students protesting, including some faculty protesting, marching out of the graduation, speakers denouncing the president and the corporation of Harvard, which is what we call our board of directors. This year, commencement was pretty much the polar opposite. There was literally a standing ovation for our president, Alan Garber, when all he had done was come up to the podium. And speaker after speaker hinted at the importance of supporting the university. So what's happened is that Donald Trump's assault on the university has led to a deep unification of the campus. And that's an important transformation from a year ago. I would say it's a fundamental transformation.
** [[Noah Feldman]], Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard University & founding director of the University's Julis-Rabinowitz Program on Jewish and Israeli Law, in an interview with Terry Gross on 3 June 2025, [https://www.npr.org/2025/06/04/nx-s1-5422325/trumps-billion-dollar-war-on-harvard-explained/"Trump's billion-dollar war on Harvard, explained"], NPR, 4 June 2025
* '''Terry Gross''': "The attacks on Harvard started with the task force commissioned by Trump to address antisemitism on campus. And, you know, this has led to cancellation of billions of dollars in grants and contracts to Harvard. But didn't Harvard reach a settlement with Trump over antisemitism?"<br>'''Noah Feldman''': "No. Let me tell the story a little bit differently. I think, really, what we're facing now started with the testimony in Congress of Harvard's president and a couple of other university presidents in which they were pushed very hard on a series of hypothetical questions about how the campus manages free speech in the context of protests. That put a target on Harvard's back, and the Trump administration has been pushing very, very hard since they came into office to exploit the perception - in my view, the incorrect perception - that Harvard is some sort of hotbed of bias, antisemitism and Islamophobia in order to bring about a fundamental attack on higher education with the stated goal - this is their stated goal - of making the university align itself with the administration's beliefs and priorities, which is a clear violation of the First Amendment.<br>What's more, Harvard hasn't reached any settlement of any kind with the Trump administration. There was a lawsuit brought by a small number of students alleging that Harvard had not sufficiently protected the environment against antisemitism. And that was settled by the university before the Trump administration even came into office."

* '''Terry Gross''': One of Trump's justifications for canceling government contracts is that he accused Harvard as being a breeding ground - I'm quoting here - "breeding ground for virtue signaling and discrimination." How do you interpret that?"<br>'''[[Noah Feldman]]''': "Well, first thing I would say is that it's wrong. You know, it's always hard to understand exactly what is meant when you're being maligned, but, you know, you know the feeling. You know the idea that even a dog knows the difference between being tripped over and being kicked? Well, that's someone kicking us. One piece of relevant background here is that Harvard was one of the parties in the Supreme Court case - the SFFA case - in which the Supreme Court, for the first time in nearly 50 years, overturned the idea that racial diversity was a permissible rationale to use in college admissions. And the Trump administration, in all of its rhetoric, has been referring, subsequently, to the perfectly lawful use of diversity as it existed from 1978 and really before then, until just, you know, a year or so ago as, quote-unquote, "discrimination." I think that's the rhetorical move there.<br>And Harvard is no more a breeding ground for that point of view than all of the other universities in the country, essentially all, which used exactly the same admissions procedures. It's just that it's easier for Trump to make headlines by attacking Harvard over that."<br>'''Terry Gross''': "That's probably part of the reason why many other universities are worried right now."<br>'''[[Noah Feldman]]''': "There are a lot of reasons for universities to be concerned. If Trump can go after the oldest university in the United States, one of the most significant in terms of its endowment and its academic legacy and its prestige, then he can really go after any similar university. And so all universities, I think, have very, very good reason to be concerned because going after a university is one of the things in the playbook of someone who's trying to erode democratic values and who wants to be at least dictatorial, if not a dictator.<br>Universities are a place for the preservation of free expression, free ideas and free beliefs. They've always been that. And so in any country where someone is trying to break that norm of freedom, the universities are a very important target, and that's been true historically."

* '''Terry Gross''': "So what do you think Trump's attacks on Harvard are really about?"<br>'''[[Noah Feldman]]''': "Donald Trump usually has a kind of short-term self-interest objective and then a broader-term aggrandizement objective. In the short term, his self-interest is to make a headline, to make a populist headline that says, Donald Trump is going after those liberals at Harvard University, which might please some of his supporters and, probably more important to Donald Trump, is intended to shed fear or to cast fear on everyone in higher education and, more broadly, everyone who doesn't agree with his policies. You know, it's part of the idea that every day we should wake up and listen to the radio or look at the newspaper and discover that the Trump administration has gone after some opponent in some way that makes it really hard to stand up to Donald Trump. So I think that's the short-term objective.<br>The longer-term objective, though, is part of Trump's overall assault on our democratic values and institutions. And you can see that the institutions that he likes to go after are places like universities, institutions like the press and the courts, which are institutions that are all devoted to independent judgment and independent thinking. '''We need independent universities. We need an independent press. And, of course, we need independent courts. And Trump doesn't like independence because independent institutions can say no to him. And the more he can weaken the independence of those institutions, the more he can make his agenda the dominant agenda. And ultimately, this is about Trump trying to impose his view of the world on everybody else.'''"

* The White House has officially declared that June will no longer be LGBT-Pride Month. This comes as GOP leaders in Congress head in the same direction and more companies back away from pushing rainbow flags and other LGBT-themed items in retail stores. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday the White House has "no plans" to issue a proclamation recognizing June as Pride Month. "There are no plans for a proclamation for the month of June," Leavitt said, "but I can tell you this president is very proud to be a president for all Americans, regardless of race, religion, or creed."<br>Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Education published a new report Monday declaring that June will now be recognized as "Title IX" Month, in honor of the 53rd anniversary of Title IX of the Educational Amendments (1972) being signed into law. "June will now be dedicated to commemorating women and celebrating their struggle for, and achievement of, equal educational opportunity. Throughout the month, the Department will highlight actions taken to reverse the Biden Administration's legacy of undermining Title IX and announce additional actions to protect women in line with the true purpose of Title IX," the declaration reads.<br>GOP lawmakers have plans to go a step further, announcing a resolution that will declare June as "Family Month," the Daily Wire first reported. Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) introduced the resolution that points out the foundational importance of the nuclear family in building a strong nation while at the same time condemning Pride Month as "perverse" celebrations that "denigrate the nuclear family."

* In 1999, former President Bill Clinton named June "Gay and Lesbian Month." A decade later, then-President Barack Obama expanded it by including bisexual and transgender people and renamed it "LGBT Pride Month." In 2021, the Biden administration further expanded the observance to include Queers – dubbing the observance "LGBTQ+ Pride Month."<br>During his first term, President Trump declined to issue a proclamation for Pride Month but instead became the first Republican president to shine a light on his administration's effort to decriminalize homosexuality worldwide, The Hill reports. "As we celebrate LGBT Pride Month and recognize the outstanding contributions LGBT people have made to our great Nation, let us also stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide that punish, imprison, or even execute individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation," Trump wrote on the social platform X, then Twitter, in 2019. "My Administration has launched a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality and invite all nations to join us in this effort!" During his second term, the president has taken a more aggressive approach in pushing back against gender ideology as transgender issues have dominated headlines regarding public schools, women's sports, and parental rights.

* As CBN News reported, within the first 10 days of office, Trump declared, "There are only two genders: male and female," and signed an executive order titled "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government." The executive order outlined that "radical gender ideology has devastated biological truth and women's safety and opportunity," and will protect Americans' First Amendment and statutory rights to recognize the biological and binary nature of sex. "Men and women are equal but have obvious sexual differences," it reads. "If federal policies promote such an obvious falsehood that men can become women, the government will forfeit all credibility. The government must maintain a commitment to recognizing biological reality to maintain the trust of the American people."

* Early moves by the administration to roll back DEI initiatives in the federal government were followed by retailers shutting down DEI programs — an optional decision. This year, many retail chains and major brands have remained fairly quiet about promoting LGBT-related campaigns at the start of the month of June. According to a survey of more than 200 corporate executives conducted by Gravity Research, 39% of companies report scaling back their Pride Month engagements this year. Retailers, like Target and Bud Light, say boycotts and protests by conservatives from major outlets and companies are finally being felt in the bottom line. As CBN News reported, Target lost $9 billion in one week in 2023 after it began advertising gay pride products, including items for transgender women, in early May. "It's clear that the administration and their supporters are driving the change," Luke Hartig, the president of Gravity Research, told CNN. "Companies are under increasing pressure not to engage and speak out on issues." Target appears to be taking a different approach this year by launching fewer LGBT "inclusive" products in "select stores."

* WASHINGTON − Progressive firebrand Sen. Bernie Sanders said he believes President Donald Trump is “moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism" after Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to help quell immigration protests in Los Angeles. “This guy wants all of the power. He does not believe in the Constitution. He does not believe in the rule of law. My understanding is that the governor of California, the mayor of the city of Los Angeles did not request the National Guard, but he thinks he has a right to do anything he wants,” Sanders, a Vermont independent, told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”

* The protests come as the Trump administration has taken stronger actions to arrest and deport undocumented immigrants. Demonstrators allege the administration's immigration enforcement has violated civil and human rights. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on June 7 that Trump signed a memo deploying the guardsmen “to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester.” Both California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, however, have criticized the move, saying it would only escalate tensions in the area. “I would say that to a large degree, the future of this country rests with a small number of Republicans in the House and Senate who know better, who do know what the Constitution is about, and it’s high time they stood up for our Constitution and the rule of law,” Sanders said.

* President Donald Trump’s deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles is stretching the legal limits of how the military can be used to enforce domestic laws on American streets, constitutional law experts say. Trump, for now, has given the troops a limited mission: protecting federal immigration agents and buildings amid a wave of street protests against the administration’s mass deportation policies. To justify the deployment, Trump cited a provision of federal law that allows the president to use the National Guard to quell domestic unrest.<br>But Trump’s stated rationale, legal scholars say, appears to be a flimsy and even contrived basis for such a rare and dramatic step. The real purpose, they worry, may be to amass more power over blue states that have resisted Trump’s deportation agenda. And the effect, whether intentional or not, may be to inflame the tension in L.A., potentially leading to a vicious cycle in which Trump calls up even more troops or broadens their mission. “It does appear to be largely pretextual, or at least motivated more by politics than on-the-ground need,” said Chris Mirasolo, a national security law professor at the University of Houston.

* At issue is the president’s authority to deploy the military for domestic purposes. A federal law, the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, generally bars the president from using federal troops — the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force or Space Force — to enforce domestic laws. But there are exceptional circumstances when the president can use troops domestically. The most prominent exception is the Insurrection Act, which authorizes the president to deploy the military to suppress insurrections, “domestic violence” or conspiracies that undermine constitutional rights or federal laws. At the end of Trump’s first term, some of his most ardent supporters urged and expected him to invoke the Insurrection Act to push aside state election authorities and essentially void the 2020 presidential election results, although he never did so. During his 2024 campaign, he said he would invoke the act to subdue unrest if reelected.<br>But so far, Trump has not invoked the Insurrection Act. Instead, in a Saturday order, he cited a different statutory provision: a terse section of the U.S. code that allows the president to use the National Guard — but not any other military forces — to suppress the “danger of a rebellion” or to “execute” federal laws when “regular forces” are unable to do so. Notably, his order did not outright declare the unrest in L.A. to be a “rebellion,” but suggested it was moving in that direction.<br>“To the extent that protests or acts of violence directly inhibit the execution of the laws, they constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States,” the order said.

* California authorities and Trump critics say that local law enforcement was effectively managing the L.A. protests. And despite the National Guard’s purportedly defensive role of protecting federal property and personnel, some experts see the deployment as throwing a lit match into a tinderbox. If the troops are drawn into violent confrontations, Trump might use the clashes as justification for invoking the Insurrection Act, which would pave the way for active-duty military forces to take more aggressive actions to subdue protesters and engage in law enforcement. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Saturday said Marines could be mobilized to L.A. if unrest continues, writing in a post on X that the troops “are on high alert.”<br>“The laws in this area are somewhat unsettled and untested,” said Rosa Brooks, a Georgetown University law professor who served as a counselor to the undersecretary of defense for policy under President Barack Obama. “Federalizing Guard troops in this situation — and raising the specter of also sending in active duty military personnel — is a political stunt, and a dangerous one.”<br>Experts are also eyeing whether the Guard members accompany immigration authorities when they venture away from federal buildings — a move that could signal a willingness to use troops to actively aid immigration enforcement, rather than simply protect agents from protesters.

* Trump is not the first president to deploy the military over a governor’s objection. But it’s the first time since 1965, when President Lyndon Johnson ordered troops to protect civil rights protesters in Alabama. President Dwight Eisenhower similarly overrode objections from Arkansas’ governor, deploying troops to help enforce the desegregation of public schools. When presidents view state and local authorities as being ineffective or recalcitrant, those steps may be justified, some experts say. “Usually the President calls out the troops with the cooperation of the governor, which happened in LA itself during the Rodney King riots,” said John Yoo, a legal counselor to President George W. Bush. “But there have been times when governors have been tragically slow, as during Hurricane Katrina, or actually resistant to federal policy, as with desegregation, or, arguably, in this case. “Trump, when speaking about the decision with reporters Sunday, said he warned Newsom a few days earlier of the possibility. “I did call him the other night,” Trump said. “I said you’ve got to take care of this, otherwise I’m sending in the troops.”<br>Newsom has railed against Trump’s unilateral action, saying it will inflame rather than ease tensions on the streets and that state and local law enforcement were appropriately responding to the unrest outside federal buildings. Newsom got backup from Democratic governors across the country, who signed a letter calling Trump’s National Guard deployment an “alarming abuse of power.”<br>“The military appears to be clashing with protesters in the streets of our country. That’s not supposed to happen,” said Elizabeth Goitein, a national security law expert at New York University’s Brennan Center. “It’s such a dangerous situation. It’s dangerous for liberty. It’s dangerous for democracy.”

* President Donald Trump on Thursday declared he doesn’t “feel like a king” after he was asked to address the protests planned across the country in the coming weekend to counter the expensive Washington, D.C., military parade scheduled for Saturday — his birthday and the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary. “I don’t feel like a king,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “I have to go through hell to get stuff approved.” Trump cited the example of having to involve GOP leaders House Speaker Mike Johnson (La.) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (S.D.) before signing a resolution passed by Congress to block California’s ban on the sale of new gas-powered cars from 2035. “No, no. We’re not a king. We’re not a king at all,” Trump added.

* The organizers of the “No Kings” protests said Saturday will mark “a nationwide day of defiance,” noting that they plan to deliver a strong message against authoritarianism. “We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind. The flag doesn’t belong to President Trump. It belongs to us,” the event’s website states. “We’re showing up everywhere he isn’t — to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings.” “No Kings” protests are scheduled in 50 states and 1,500 cities across the country, but not in Washington. Organizers said they will host a flagship march and rally in Philadelphia. The protests come as the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown has caused uproar in Los Angeles and other cities, where demonstrators came out to protest the raids carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. In response, Trump authorized the deployment in California of the National Guard, against Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) wishes, and also of the U.S. Marines — a move Newsom warned would pour fuel on the fire.

The administration has accused the service of "radical gender ideology". It says it will still fund the wider 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline - of which the LGBTQ youth option is one part - and that all callers will receive "compassion and help". The Trevor Project, an organisation that helped to run the LGBTQ option, said the decision would have a harmful impact on vulnerable young people. "Suicide prevention is about people, not politics," said Jaymes Black, the organisation's CEO. He said his service had been told to close within 30 days.<br>"The administration's decision to remove a bipartisan, evidence-based service that has effectively supported a high-risk group of young people through their darkest moments is incomprehensible," Mr Black added.<br>The decision comes during international Pride Month, which celebrates LGBTQ culture and history.

The general 988 Lifeline offers free mental health support via call, text, or chat. It is funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a subsidiary of the US Health and Human Services Agency (HHS). Currently, LGBTQ young people can select option 3 from a call menu in order to connect with counsellors. After the changes, the remaining 988 Lifeline services would "focus on serving all help seekers", including those who previously chose to access LGBTQ youth services, SAMHSA said. But the hotline would "no longer silo LGB+ youth services", SAMHSA wrote in a statement, omitting the "T" and "Q" that refers to transgender and queer people in the LGBTQ acronym.

* Officials at HHS proposed cutting the 988 Lifeline's LGBTQ youth services last week. In a statement to NBC News at the time, an HHS spokesperson described the option as a "chat service where children are encouraged to embrace radical gender ideology by 'counselors' without consent or knowledge of their parents". Legislation passed in 2020 by the US Congress required the 988 Lifeline to provide services and staff specifically for LGBTQ people as well as other at-risk groups like rural and Native Americans.<br>The legislation noted that LGBTQ youth were "more than 4 times more likely to contemplate suicide than their peers, with 1 in 5 LGBTQ youth and more than 1 in 3 transgender youth reporting attempting suicide".<br>The law received bipartisan support - including from Donald Trump, who was then serving his first presidential term, and signed the bill into law.<br>According to the 988 Lifeline website, LGBTQ communities are "disproportionately at risk for suicide and other mental health struggles due to historic and ongoing structural violence."<br>The Trevor Project began providing its services through the 988 Lifeline in 2022. In 2024, it served more than 231,000 crisis contacts, the organisation said in a statement. It says it will continue to provide its own independent services.

* The decision to eliminate the 988 Lifeline's designated LGBTQ youth option comes amid Trump's push to curtail services, support, and access for transgender people across the federal government. He has pushed to end diversity, equity, and inclusion policies (DEI) within the federal government, arguing that such programmes are themselves discriminatory. The president has also ordered the removal of transgender servicemembers from the US military and issued an executive order that the US would only recognise two sexes – male and female. The US Department of State also announced it would no longer allow applicants to choose "X" as their gender on US passports. Instead, transgender individuals must choose "male" or "female" corresponding to their sex assigned at birth.

* Last week, during a visit to the “South Loop” ICE facility (the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program office located at 2245 S. Michigan Avenue in Chicago) we were denied the ability to perform congressional oversight – as is our duty as members of the United States House of Representatives. During the visit to this facility, the ICE officer who refused to identify himself called the Chicago Police Department to evict us for “trespassing.” We are writing today to express deep concern regarding the lack of oversight of these facilities and their operations, and to request immediate and full access to ICE facilities for the purpose of investigating this activity further. This specific facility has been the site of very disturbing incidents that have shaken our community. On June 4, 2025, ICE officials detained at least 10 individuals after they were texted to demand they show up for a routine appointment1. It is unclear exactly how many people were taken, where they were taken to, and if they were given access to counsel – all of which we were hoping to learn through performing our oversight duties. We were denied those answers. We are writing to you today to demand access to this facility.

* Our request comes as the President has declared his intent to carry out the “single largest mass deportation program in history,” specifically naming the city of Chicago as a target, in addition to other Democratic-run cities. The President’s politically motivated actions are deeply troubling, particularly for communities like ours in Illinois that have already seen intensified enforcement activity in recent weeks. The administration must ensure that all individuals, regardless of immigration status, are treated with dignity and afforded due process – as that is the law. Yet the reality on the ground tells a different story. The President has repeatedly targeted Chicago, and we are now witnessing the consequences unfold in disturbing ways.<br>In Chicago, these facilities are the site of reports that allege rushed deportations, inadequate medical care, restricted legal access, and poor conditions. These are not isolated incidents—they point to broader systemic failures in enforcement and facility oversight.

* Some of the individuals lured to ICE facilities in Chicago were reportedly detained for several days under inhumane conditions. One of those detained, Ms. Gladis Yolanda Chavez Pineda—a longtime Chicago resident and respected community leader—described a harrowing experience. Her husband stated in an interview, “She has not had access to a shower. She has not had access to feminine hygiene products. She has not been able to change her clothes...They have no information of what’s happening. They don’t even have a clock.” After being moved to a jail in Kentucky, Pineda reported that “People are sleeping on concrete floors. Last Sunday, one mattress was given to a group of 20 mothers to share. In one of the facilities, only one bathroom is given to 20 or more individuals, with no partitions and privacy.” These reports reflect systemic issues in ICE’s enforcement strategies and facility management, not just in Illinois but across the country.

* The Pentagon has officially stripped the late gay civil rights leader Harvey Milk's name from a U.S. naval vessel, amid broader efforts by the Trump administration to erase what it describes as "woke" ideology from the public. The former USNS Harvey Milk is now called the USNS Oscar V. Peterson, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced in a video posted online Friday. "We are taking the politics out of ship naming," Hegseth said. "We're not renaming the ship to anything political. This is not about political activists, unlike the previous administration."<br>The ship is part of the John Lewis-class oilers, named after the famed civil rights activist and longtime congressman.<br>In 2016, then-Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said ships in this class would be named after leaders in civil rights activism. That included paying homage to Milk, who was a Navy veteran and became the first openly gay person to serve in California politics when he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Milk was assassinated by a former board colleague in 1978, leaving behind a legacy of advocacy for gay rights. The ship's new namesake, Oscar V. Peterson, was a U.S. Navy chief petty officer who was killed in World War II and posthumously granted a Medal of Honor by Congress for bravery during the war.

Other Navy vessels under review include those named after Thurgood Marshall, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Harriet Tubman, Dolores Huerta, Cesar Chavez, Lucy Stone and Medgar Evers.

* Since returning to office in January 2025, President Donald Trump has taken numerous actions that have alarmed international human rights observers: deporting immigrants without due process, holding detainees in inhumane, overcrowded conditions, and deploying both the National Guard and federal military troops to Los Angeles to quell largely peaceful protests. In recent weeks, National Guard troops have deployed to Washington, ostensibly to move unhoused citizens off the streets and to fight crime. Now, with Trump announcing that he will send the National Guard from conservative states to other left-leaning cities like Chicago and New York, fears are rising of an uptick in political violence and human rights violations.

Would They?"], ''World Politics Review'', 26 August 2025
* Even the troops themselves are questioning what they would do if asked to turn on their fellow Americans. According to new survey data from the Human Security Lab at UMass Amherst, which I direct, the vast majority of them recognize the duty to disobey an unlawful order and are able to imagine such scenarios. Whether they would actually disobey an order when push comes to shove, however, is a murkier question.<br>U.S. troops today face an ethical conundrum: they are trained to obey their commander-in-chief, but their oath is to the U.S. Constitution. And when asked if he must "uphold the Constitution," Trump has replied, "I don't know." Moreover, under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, service members have a duty to obey lawful orders, but under the U.S. Courts Martial Manual, they also have a duty to disobey unlawful orders-defined as those that clearly violate the U.S. Constitution, U.S. federal law, or international law like the Geneva Conventions. In these instances, following orders is not a defense: service members can be held individually liable for such crimes and prosecuted under the doctrine of individual responsibility.

Would They?"], ''World Politics Review'', 26 August 2025
* Many of Trump's orders are already being questioned as unconstitutional, and numerous international bodies have indicated that many of his actions violate seven decades of established international human rights standards; some may constitute crimes against humanity. Even the deployment of active-duty troops itself risks violating the Posse Comitatus Act prohibiting the use of federal troops for domestic law enforcement. Thus, U.S. troops are in a bind-and it's already affecting troop morale. Some troops are actively calling for Congress to protect service members who refuse to follow unlawful orders.

Would They?"], ''World Politics Review'', 26 August 2025
* How far is the military likely to go in resisting orders given by Trump? The answer depends a great deal on the individual service member and the context. Troops are taught to disobey orders to commit war crimes in the course of their duties, for example, but as legal historian Tom Dannenbaum points out, they have not typically had the right to question the terms of their deployments, even when those terms themselves-such as Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine-clearly violate international law. Thus, under existing customary law, it would be more likely for troops to conscientiously resist orders to commit atrocities than orders to deploy per se, even in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.<br>Second, troops are not required to disobey every questionable order, allowing a muddled grey area that makes it unreasonable to think there would be 100 percent compliance with this doctrine. In legal terms, according to military historian Mark Osiel, the barometer for "manifestly unlawful" orders is whether the order is "illegal on its face" -that is, whether an ordinary person would know that what they are doing is wrong. This is reflected in the procedural rules for court martial. But social scientists predict men and women in uniform vary in how they understand the threshold for "manifest unlawfulness" because they can easily talk themselves into excusing actions based on contextual factors.

Would They?"], ''World Politics Review'', 26 August 2025
* In this context, it is notable that so many US troops are willing to state they would openly disobey orders such as detaining people inhumanely, starving civilians or shooting civilians. And research shows if even a minority is willing to stand up, it can matter. Criminologist Eva Whitehead researched conscientious disobedience during the Vietnam War and at the East German border during the Cold War: her work found that when some troops disobeyed, it was easier for others to follow suit.<br>Opposition to following unlawful orders is prevalent among U.S. troops. The question is whether it will make a difference when it counts. Uniformed personnel understand the concept of an order that is manifestly unlawful, and their own responsibility to disobey such an order. This won't entirely prevent harm, as some of those soldiers may still buckle under the weight of military hierarchy in a high-stress situation. But the willingness of so many service members to recognize unlawful orders, and their duty to disobey, highlights the moral agency of individuals and the enduring power of international legal standards, even in difficult and unprecedented times.

* The United States exists in a new-old universe. After nearly 250 years of democracy, it seems infected with totalitarianism, racial superiority, anti-communism and all the petrified theories advanced by another populist politician, Adolph Hitler. Donald Trump did say he would be a dictator on day one. History will be the judge, but things look rather bleak right now for the democracy side of the equation.

* Take art and culture. During the 12 years of Hitler’s corruption of the concepts of law and order, he also attacked what we now call “creatives” and cultural institutions. The backlash against artistic Modernism had begun earlier in Germany’s Weimar era, but the Führer fully enforced his own ideas of what comprised art. He banned “degenerate art”: Bauhaus, Cubism, Dada, Expressionism, Fauvism, Impressionism and Surrealism. And the regime supported only official painters, sculptors, architects, writers and even actors.<br>Things are trending in the same direction in the 21st-century United States. Trump, having gotten himself elected chair of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, has vowed to end “woke political programming” at Washington’s premier arts venue. As an example of what this means, the Kennedy Center hosted a screening this week of “The Revival Generation,” a documentary about a “nationwide campus revival movement” drawing Gen Z Americans. Billed as a “call to faith and a message of hope” that “(c)aptures a spiritual awakening among today’s youth,” the program included a one-hour worship service with “a local worship collective.”

* Next Trump ordered a review of exhibits at the Smithsonian Museums that has sent curators scrambling to “fix” exhibits Mr. Trump finds too woke. The list of things needing repair at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the National Portrait Gallery and the National Museum of the American Latino focuses on mentions of race, slavery, immigration and sexuality. The artwork that offends the curator-in-chief is not Cubism or Dadaism or Impressionism. Unlike Hitler, Trump has not put Picasso, Duchamp and Monet on the banned lists. Rather, it is Rigoberto Gonzalez’s extraordinary “Refugees Crossing the Border Wall into South Texas.” The list goes on. Some of it is, well, edgy. But it is not of the order of “Immersion (Piss Christ),” Andres Serrano’s 1987 photograph of a crucifix submerged in a container of his own urine. Despite an outcry from politicians who tried to defund its sponsors, the piece won an award in a competition partly sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts. Ronald Reagan was president then.

* If only Trump would confine his new strictures to art and culture, his populism would be an affront only to the pursuit of beauty. But they cross several lines, assaulting truth as well. As several mainline faith leaders and the U.S. Catholic bishops have pointed out, the derisive oppression of poor immigrants by members of the current administration is sickening. That some administration officials continue to publicly espouse Christian ethics is mind-boggling. Government spokespeople bend the truth and present an alternate reality. Then, there are the humorless bureaucrats who can change numbers to suit the master’s will. '''The administration is efficient and punctual, and its leader can do no wrong.

* Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed Sunday that the Trump administration plans to expand Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in major cities, including Chicago. Asked about plans to expand ICE operations in Chicago specifically, Noem told CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” “We’ve already had ongoing operations with ICE in Chicago and throughout Illinois and other states, making sure that we’re upholding our laws, but we do intend to add more resources to those operations.” Asked about what an expansion of ICE operations would look like in Chicago and whether it would involve a mobilization of National Guard troops to assist with immigration raids and arrests, Noem demurred, saying, “That always is a prerogative of President [Donald] Trump and his decision. I won’t speak to the specifics of the operations that are planned in other cities.”<br>Her remarks come one day after Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order directing his city’s legal department to explore ways to counter a potential surge in federal law enforcement and National Guard troops to Illinois.<br>During a press conference Saturday, Johnson warned that Chicago officials had “received credible reports that we have days, not weeks, before our cities see some type of militarized activity by the federal government.”

* Earlier this month, the Trump administration directed federal law enforcement officers, including those employed by ICE, to assist police in Washington, D.C., with crime-fighting operations. That surge of resources included thousands of National Guard troops who were deployed to the nation’s capital with the stated goal of lowering crime rates. Following the movement of troops and law enforcement officers to Washington, Trump threatened to send federal officers and troops to other major American cities, including Baltimore. Later in the Sunday interview, Noem was asked whether Boston would be one of the cities where the federal government would surge immigration enforcement agents.<br>“There’s a lot of cities that are dealing with crime and violence right now, and so we haven’t taken anything off the table,” she said, adding later: “I’d encourage every single big city — San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, whatever they are — if they want to help make their city safer, more prosperous, allow people the opportunity to walk in freedom like the people of Washington, D.C., are now ... they should call us.”

* Other Democratic officials, including a group of over a dozen governors, have condemned plans to deploy troops to their states. In a statement last week, they said, “Whether it’s Illinois, Maryland and New York or another state tomorrow, the President’s threats and efforts to deploy a state’s National Guard without the request and consent of that state’s governor is an alarming abuse of power, ineffective, and undermines the mission of our service members.”

* And in an interview that aired Sunday on “Face the Nation,” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, said, “We don’t want troops on the streets of American cities. That’s un-American. Frankly, the president of the United States ought to know better.”<br>Pritzker also accused the Trump administration of targeting states run by Democrats rather than those run by Republicans, telling CBS, “Notice he never talks about where the most violent crime is occurring, which is in red states. ... Their violent crime rates are much worse in other places, and we’re very proud of the work that we’ve done.”<br>Asked whether there are plans in place to deploy troops and federal law enforcement officials to states and cities run by Republicans, Noem said, “Absolutely.”<br>“Every single city is evaluated for what we need to do there to make it safer. So we’ve got operations that, again, I won’t talk about details on, but we absolutely are not looking through the viewpoint at anything we’re doing with a political lens,” she added.

* In their initial doubts, what some Guardsmen were really asking was existential: Are we becoming something different? After all, the National Guard appears to have a new kind of mission, one that began in Los Angeles when Trump federalized the Guard over immigration concerns; moved to D.C. under the auspices of addressing “rampant violence and disorder”; and, according to Trump, could soon expand to Chicago and Baltimore.<br>This ambiguity not only invites confusion and raises fears of troops conducting more police-like functions, but it also thrusts the National Guard into the middle of political disputes. The more often it is deployed in politically divisive missions—instead of the more routine apolitical assignments to disaster zones—the more perilous the Guard’s standing becomes among the American public.

* By the time we headed home, after several hours spent wandering the city’s various quadrants, it was clear that almost no one felt particularly good about the arrangement: not the National Guardsmen, many of whom clearly didn’t want to be there, leaving their families and jobs in order to spread mulch and pick up trash; and not the residents, many of whom were furious with the occupation of their city or, worse, terrified of what the military’s presence portended for them and their loved ones. Even those residents who welcomed the troops did so from a place of discontent, so fed up with crime and quality-of-life issues that they felt relieved that someone was finally doing something, anything to help.

* According to research by the libertarian Cato Institute published earlier this month, one in five people arrested by ICE have been Latinos with no criminal past or removal orders against them from the government, which they called a "telltale sign of illegal profiling."

He says that it "should be a nonstop emergency news alert," but that "instead, mainstream news and Democrats are barely mentioning it."

* The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, explicitly states: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice." This amendment was adopted following Franklin D. Roosevelt's unprecedented four terms in office, establishing a formal limit on presidential tenure that had previously been only a tradition dating all the way back to America's first president, George Washington.<br>In March, Trump told NBC News that "a lot of people would like me to do that," regarding a third term, adding, "There are methods which you could do it, as you know." He reiterated these sentiments in subsequent interviews, though he has also occasionally denied interest in pursuing such a path.<br>Some Trump allies, like podcast host Steve Bannon, adviser during Trump's first term, have suggested unconventional workarounds. One theory involves Trump running as vice president on a ticket where the presidential nominee would then step aside after winning, allowing Trump to assume the presidency. Legal experts, however, broadly agree this would violate both the letter and spirit of the Constitution.

* Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s speech to top generals was supposed to serve as a rallying cry for military exceptionalism — but it didn’t land that way with many of the people it was targeting. Numerous defense officials — who watched senior brass scramble to Washington and then sit through a partisan speech from President Donald Trump and a return to old-school military standards by Hegseth — were left wondering why the event had occurred at all. “More like a press conference than briefing the generals,” said one defense official, who, like others, was granted anonymity due to fears of retribution. “Could have been an email.”

* Defense officials, in the Pentagon and at bases around the world, spent much of Tuesday trying to make sense of the last-minute gathering at the Quantico base in Virginia. Hegseth called out “fat generals,” and, separately, pushed fitness standards that could limit women in combat roles, while Trump offered his justification for sending the military into American cities. The 90-minute event — which featured military officials who swore an oath to the Constitution attending something more akin to a campaign rally — had the feeling of a Hollywood production. Trump even instructed officials to “just have a good time.”<br>The meeting took place hours before a likely government shutdown, and struck some officials as a distraction that threatens to shift the military’s focus away from foreign threats toward an unprecedented domestic role. “Not quite a loyalty test, but … on the spectrum of loyalty to ideology,” said a second defense official. “Total waste of money.”

* The Pentagon has insisted the U.S. military is retooling to prepare for a potential war with China. But sending American troops to patrol their own cities will “distract warfighters from actually training to fight and win” against Beijing, said a fourth defense official.<br>Several Trump allies, including Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), said a face-to-face meeting like Hegseth’s helped reinforce the administration's visions. “There needs to be more warfighter training,” he said in an interview. “We don't do enough of it. We don't do enough flying training. I like this approach … I thought it was a strong speech.” Democrats, on the other hand, attacked the event as purely vanity-driven. Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) called the resources used for the meeting “totally unjustified” and an exercise in chest thumping. “This comes at the expense of real national security,” she said in an interview. “But obviously they don’t give a rip.”

* Lt. Col. Amy McGrath called out U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for trying to overshadow women’s contribution to the U.S. military in his effort to meet “the highest male standard’ among U.S. soldiers. “Each service will ensure that every requirement for every combat [Military Occupational Specialty], for every designated combat arms position, returns to the highest male standard,” Hegseth told leaders at Marine Corps Base Quantico, in Quantico, Virginia on Tuesday. “Only because this job is life or death, standards must be met and not just met at every level. We should seek to exceed the standard to push the envelope to compete.”

* “Hegseth still has a lot to learn, unfortunately,” said McGrath, speaking with the “Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.” “When I flew my combat missions, there was not a set male standard and a female standard for flying an aircraft onto the back of an aircraft carrier. You can either do it or you can't. Combat jobs have had one standard for a long time. And part of when we opened combat jobs to women, those of us that were in those jobs wanted one standard to be set. And it was — so I think it's kind of ridiculous.”<br>“But, honestly, that, in comparison to the rest of what we heard in the last hour, is really minor,” McGrath added. “That speech was bonkers by the president, and everybody sitting in that room knows that we don't have a coherent foreign policy or defense policy. And that, I think, is a bigger issue indeed.”

* McGrath was particularly wrathful at President Donald Trump suggesting the city of Chicago serve as a kind of “training ground” for urban warfare.<br>“There was a lot of rambling. There was a ton of lies. There was a lot of politicization … and craziness that you heard from this speech, but the scariest part was when the president talked about using our cities as a training ground for the United States military,” said McGrath. “Now, the military has done training in cities before, but that's not what I think he's talking about here. He's talking about using the military in ways that we should not see in America. And I'm very worried about this.”<br>“I think the whole part of bringing these generals and admirals back here was to discuss this type of thing, and it should it should scare us all,” McGrath said. “This is something that we just don't do in America. We have police to fight crime, and we should be putting money into those police forces, not sending American troops that are trained for war to American cities.”

==== October 2025 ====
* In an interview at Catholic University last week, Supreme Court Justice [[Clarence Thomas]] said what he’s clearly been thinking for the past 30 years: Supreme Court precedents don’t matter, and he’s making things up as he goes along to fulfill his own political agenda. He didn’t say it in that way, of course. People would have noticed that. Instead, he couched his self-serving philosophy in legal jargon that will fly under the radar of most people, including journalists. Here’s what he said: “At some point we need to think about what we’re doing with stare decisis.… [I]t’s not some sort of talismanic deal where you can just say ‘stare decisis’ and not think, turn off the brain, right?”<br>To translate: “Stare decisis” is a foundational legal principle in this country and all countries that follow a “common law” system. What it means, in simple terms, is that prior judicial rulings govern future judicial rulings. If a court rules, for instance, that “gay people have the same basic rights as everyone else in this country, including the right to marry other people,” then that ruling is supposed to govern all future cases concerning the rights of gay people.<br>Thomas, apparently, doesn’t agree. Instead of respecting stare decisis and precedent, he is saying that older cases shouldn’t have the power to control newer ones. For Thomas, just because courts ruled that LGBTQ people should have rights in the past, including the right to marry, doesn’t mean he feels compelled to rule that they should keep them.

* We’ve seen this in Thomas’s opinions in recent years. In 2022, he declared, in a separate but supporting opinion in the ''Dobbs'' case, that ''Roe v. Wade'' was not respectful of our legal traditions, but ''Loving v. Virginia'' is. Why? Well because ''Roe'' gave women rights, while ''Loving'' gave Thomas the right to marry his white wife, and if you have a better legal difference between those cases other than Thomas’s own personal preferences, I’d love to hear you explain it. Thomas has also decided (in this case, writing for the majority) that simple gun registration laws are not respectful of our traditions in this country, but he signed on to an opinion giving the president the powers of the very king we revolted against. You simply cannot chart a course through what passes for logic in Thomas’s head without understanding his preferred policy outcomes.<br>If Thomas were the only justice who thought like this, it would be a containable problem. But the entire Republican cabal on the Supreme Court rules exactly in the way Thomas is talking about, with no respect for precedent or stare decisis. This coming term, the Republicans on the court are likely to overturn a voting rights precedent they set for themselves only a couple of years ago. The Republicans literally cannot be trusted to respect ''their own rulings''.

* '''The entire Trump administration has been a “mask off” moment for the Supreme Court’s conservatives. It turns out, they don’t actually care about precedent (no matter how many times they lied and claimed to care during their Senate confirmation hearings). They don’t actually care about the text. They don’t actually care about judicial restraint. They want the political outcomes they want and they have the votes to do it.'''<br>Thomas’s speech is a declaration that there is no judicial precedent that is safe from the current Republicans on the court. Stare decisis will not stand in their way of getting what they want. You could read the entire speech as a shot across the bow of ''Obergefell v. Hodges'', and it is, but it’s also a rare moment where Thomas told the truth about what he and his friends are actually doing. '''They do not care about traditions, norms, or the very foundation of judicial decision making in a common law system. They only care about winning.'''

* That’s all going to be very bad for those of us who do not happen to be white cis-hetero men in the near term, but there is a silver lining. Thomas’s speech at Catholic University literally lays down the playbook for how to defeat him and all the evil and cruelty he has wrought during his time on the bench. According to Thomas, future Supreme Court justices do not have to wrestle with the precedents laid down by Thomas and his Roberts-court brethren. They do not have to distinguish future cases from the ones that are being decided today. They do not have to wait for Congress to pass new laws, or for the Constitution to be amended. They don’t have to stay on the train Clarence Thomas is driving.<br>And I am here for that. By Thomas’s own admission, the power of the Roberts court dies the moment there are more liberals on the bench than Republicans. That could happen as soon as the next presidential election, if Democrats get their act together to take control of the Supreme Court. If stare decisis is dead, then it’s dead forever. What can’t happen is for future Democratic justices to try to resurrect it, to preserve the power of the people who killed it. Clarence Thomas will soon be the longest-serving justice in American history. It’s good to know that he thinks his opinions will not matter after he’s dead. On that, he and I agree.

* Six months ago, I wrote a piece urging soldiers to leave the United States military. At the time, the possibility that the president might use the military as a tool to unjustly abuse US citizens was still somewhat theoretical. At the risk of being repetitive, events in the world make me feel compelled to write, once again: Leave the military now. The time when you can say that you did not understand what might happen is coming to an end.<br>Yesterday, the Secretary of Defense and the Commander in Chief gave speeches to all of our nation’s generals, who they had ordered to assemble in Washington. It is bad enough, I imagine, for all of these accomplished career officers to be subjected to the performative tirade of Pete Hegseth, a childish television host, installed as their superior, ranting about the need to be more macho, fairly dripping with overcompensation for his various inadequacies. Yet if Hegseth’s speech was unnecessary, bigoted, and cartoonish, the performance of the Commander in Chief was much more substantively dangerous.

* First, because it must have been clear to all of those assembled generals that Donald Trump, who possesses complete and total control of the military and its awesome powers, is, at best, mentally unwell. His speech, characteristically, was an incoherent stream-of-consciousness rant consisting mostly of narcissism and fiction and personal grievances. The mind of the man who has the ability to tell all of these officers what to do is broken and impervious to facts and reason. This is the man who can tell you when and how and who to kill.<br>“They’re brave in our inner cities, which we’re going to be talking about because it’s a big part of war now, it’s a big part of war,” Trump said, speaking about firemen. “But the firemen go up on ladders and you have people shooting at them while they’re up on ladders. I don’t even know if anybody heard that. And actually don’t talk about it much, but I think you have to. Our firemen are incredible. They’re up on one of these ladders that goes way up to the sky rescuing people, and you have animals shooting at them — shooting bullets at firemen that are way up in death territory.” This is your boss.

* Worse, the president made his intentions for the military clear. “You know, the Democrats run most of the cities that are in bad shape. We have many cities in great shape too, by the way. I want you to know that. But it seems that the ones that are run by the radical left Democrats, what they’ve done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, they’re very unsafe places and we’re going to straighten them out one by one,” he said. “And this is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room. That’s a war too. It’s a war from within.”<br>“We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military National Guard, but military,” he said, repeating bizarre, made-up stories about Chicago, Portland, and Seattle as war zones.

* I am not going to try to convince generals in the United States armed forces to embrace my own personal moral beliefs. Rather, I would urge them all to consider their own moral beliefs. Honor and courage are often touted as the highest military values. What do those values demand of these generals at this moment in history? To salute their deranged superiors, and then, in private, to mutter under their breath about how incompetent and awful those commanders are? Is it honorable for these hundreds of generals to go forward doing their very best to carry out the will of a president who vows openly to use the military to suppress his domestic political enemies, and who has in fact already done that in major cities? Is it courageous of these officer to—for the sake of their own careers—continue to robotically serve a man who is obviously making decisions based upon things that are not true, and who is obsessed with revenge above all, and who is quite straightforward about his intentions to use the military to forcefully oppress Americans? Is that what honor and courage demand of the highest ranking officers in our military? Nothing at all?<br>It is common for people in the military to point out that they took an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” and to imply that their allegiance to that oath would prevent them from carrying out truly unjust orders. I can’t help but notice that the point at which this moral duty to stop obeying orders kicks in appears to recede forever into the future. We, the citizens, are assured that there exists some ill-defined moment at which the personal moral code of military soldiers and officers will kick in and stop an out-of-control Commander in Chief from using the military for purposes of tyranny.<br>Well? The tyrant is here. Talk is cheap. This theoretical guardrail of our democracy would be much more comforting if it were ever possible to see it produce some tangible action.

* It is not too late to change America’s future. We sit, right now, in a moment of possibility. The president has made his intention to use the military against American citizens abundantly clear, but the worst versions of this oppression are still to come. He has told us what is coming, but all of it has not happened yet. That means that there will never be a better moment for people of honor and courage to leave the military. There will never be a better moment for the generals to demonstrate that their moral values are not just empty words. There will never be a better time to actually weaken the power of an aspiring dictator by refusing to be a part of his army. There will never be a better chance to exempt yourself from the stain of participating in a great, historic injustice against America’s ideals. '''Everyone can see who is in charge. Everyone can see what the plan is. Nobody can say that they didn’t see what was coming. Nobody can say that they went into this blind.''' For the members of the military—and, above all, for the officers at its highest level—the time to be courageous, or not, has arrived.<br>Like any large organization, the military is full of all types of people who got into it for all types of reasons.

And there can be no doubt that the military is full of people who have demonstrated great personal bravery, perseverance, and willingness to overcome daunting obstacles in order to do a job that they believe is honorable and necessary. '''In 2025, all of these admirable qualities demand a very particular action: to leave the military. Before you find yourself doing things that do not comport with the values that you hold. Before you find that you have become the bad guy. If you can run into a gunfight, you can find the bravery to quit. That’s what patriotism means today.'''

Trump teased on Truth Social that he would be meeting with Director of the Office of Management and Budget Russ Vought to – as he warned Democrats he would do – reevaluate the necessity of various government agencies. “I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent,” Trump wrote.<br>As a potential shutdown loomed, the administration cautioned Democrats that if they didn’t sign on to Republicans’ short stopgap funding bill and prevent a shutdown, more federal employees would lose their jobs. The OMB sent a letter to federal agencies last week directing them to take a critical look at where they might be able to shed more employees.<br>“With respect to those Federal programs whose funding would lapse and which are otherwise unfunded, such programs are no longer statutorily required to be carried out,” the letter reads. “Agencies are directed to use this opportunity to consider Reduction in Force (RIF) notices for all employees in programs, projects, or activities (PPAs) that satisfy all three of the following conditions: (1) discretionary funding lapses on October 1, 2025; (2) another source of funding, such as H.R. 1 (Public Law 119-21) is not currently available; and (3) the PPA is not consistent with the President’s priorities.”

* The ''New York Times'' reported in August that the federal workforce may have about 300,000 less people by year’s end. Most of the terminations or resignations were reportedly prompted by the Department of Government Efficiency, which was created by an executive order at the start of Trump’s second term.<br>It’s unclear which “Democrat Agencies” are on the chopping block Tuesday – and whether entire agencies will be eradicated or they’ll merely lose more employees. The administration has previously described the Congressional Budget Office and the Bureau of Labor Statistics as unreliable, “Democrat-controlled,” politically motivated and riddled with “longstanding failures,” to name a few.

* The “Project 2025,” which Trump referenced in his social media post, is a strategy for the restructuring of the federal government, crafted by conservatives and published by the Heritage Foundation. The goals of the project, as summarized by the BBC, are to “restore the family as the centrepiece of American life; dismantle the administrative state; defend the nation's sovereignty and borders; and secure God-given individual rights to live freely.”<br>Vought was a project co-author, and the president has framed the shutdown as an opportunity to further carry out this initiative.<br>“I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT," his post concluded.
* '''As United States President Donald Trump relentlessly threatens to annex Canada, reiterating the threat again this week in a speech to American military officials, some Canadians are worried that a U.S. invasion could one day become a reality. How would that scenario play out? Looking at the sheer size of the American military, many people might believe that Trump would enjoy an easy victory.'''<br>'''That analysis is wrong.''' If Trump ever decides to use military force to annex Canada, the result would not be determined by a conventional military confrontation between the Canadian and American armies. Rather, a military invasion of Canada would trigger a decades-long violent resistance, which would ultimately destroy the United States.<br>But in this nightmare scenario, could Canadians successfully resist an American invasion? Absolutely. I know this because I have studied insurgencies around the world for more than two decades, and I have spent time with ordinary people who have fought against powerful invading armies.

* Guerrillas use ambushes, raids and surprise attacks to slowly bleed an invading army, and local communities support these fighters by giving them safe havens and material support. These supporting citizens can also engage in forms of “everyday resistance,” using millions of passive-aggressive episodes of sabotage to frustrate and drain the enemy. Trump is delusional if he believes that 40 million Canadians will passively accept conquest without resistance. There is no political party or leader willing to relinquish Canadian sovereignty over “economic coercion,” and so if the U.S. wanted to annex Canada, it would have to invade.<br>That decision would set in motion an unstoppable cycle of violence. Even if we imagine a scenario in which the Canadian government unconditionally surrenders, a fight would ensue on the streets. A teenager might throw a rock at invading soldiers. That kid would get shot, and then there would be more rocks, and more gunfire. An insurgency would be inevitable.

* This idea may shock Canadians today because they see themselves as friendly and affable people. However, Canada’s current self-image of “niceness” only exists because they’re at peace. War changes people very quickly, and Canadians are no more innately peaceful than any other human beings. When your child is dying in your arms, you become capable of violence. Once you lose what you love, resistance becomes as natural as breathing. Except for a few collaborators and kapos, my research suggests many Canadians would likely engage in various forms of everyday resistance against invading forces that could involve stealing, lying, cutting wires and diverting funds.<br>Meanwhile, the insurgents would unleash physical devastation on American targets. Even if one per cent of all resisting Canadians engaged in armed insurrection, that would constitute a 400,000-person insurgency, nearly 10 times the size of the Taliban at the start of the Afghan war. If a fraction of that number engaged in violent attacks, it would set fire to the entire continent.

* This scenario would guarantee the destruction of both Canada and the United States. No one in their right mind would choose this gruesome future over a peaceful and mutually beneficial alliance with a friendly neighbour. Nevertheless, if Trump is reckless enough to think the violent annexation of Canada is an achievable goal, then let it be known that all these horrifying outcomes were predictable well in advance, and that he was forewarned.

* Several people recently asked me who I think is next after Comey and what will happen to him during his prosecution. I don’t know. But the fact that we even have to ask the question embodies just how fast American democracy is collapsing. Comey’s indictment — and likely conviction — will surely be followed by others. Many others. Trump will demand it, and many Americans will want it too.<br>The Justice Department has already launched investigations against former National Security Adviser John Bolton, Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff of California and Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James. Other names that have been mentioned as potential targets include Fani Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, who brought charges against Trump in a 2023 election interference case, and former FBI Director Christopher Wray. These names show that the unthinkable has become routine. Malignant normality is now the new normal.

* Since Trump was first elected in 2016, America’s responsible political and media class have constructed a model of American politics and society that increasingly does not exist. The long-cherished ideals of institutions, American exceptionalism and the character of the American people have been thrown out the window. In many ways, those fantasies never matched reality in the first place — and now the gap is undeniable. For many, this truth is too frightening to face.<br>As America’s democracy rapidly collapses, there are public voices in the news media and political class who are warning about the evils of a new Red Scare. In reality, what the Trump administration and its forces are unleashing will likely be much worse.

* In an interview, Adam Hochschild, the prominent historian and award-winning author of books including “American Midnight: The Great War, A Violent Peace, and Democracy’s Forgotten Crisis,” was clear-eyed about what America is facing: “This is profoundly frightening because it’s right out of the playbook of the way democracies are converted to dictatorships.” He compared our present moment to what was happening a century ago in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Revolution. The country, he said in an email interview, was “inflamed by military fervor…and then by paranoia,” which caused “severe damage to democracy.”<br>“The government shut down some 75 newspapers and magazines, and imprisoned hundreds of people — most notably Socialist leader Eugene V. Debs — solely for things they wrote or said,” Hochschild said. “Donald Trump would greatly like to do the same, as his attacks on critical media and prosecutions of people like James Comey show. But he is going one step further than this country went during the madness of the Red Scare of 1917-1921 by trying to seize control of electoral machinery. That, to me, is the most frightening thing about an already dangerous presidency.”<br>Commentators get hung up, he explained, on comparing Trump to Republican Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, who saw “subversives everywhere.” While noting similarities, Hochschild argued the better parallel is Democratic President Woodrow Wilson who, in his second term, “did all kinds of things Trump would like to do, such as throwing his critics in jail under the Espionage Act by the hundreds, and shutting down media that criticized him.”<br>But that wasn’t all. Under the 28th president, the Justice Department created the American Protective League, which Hochschild described as “a national vigilante force [that] scoured cities for suspected draft-dodgers.”<br>“We pay far too little attention to that ominous period of American life,” he said, “always preferring to look on the bright side rather than the dark side.”

* Trumpism is the embodiment of Shakespeare’s observation that what’s past is prologue. It’s now our present and future. But this is not a call to despair, or to embrace the comfort of learned helplessness or to take poison of hopium. It is the opposite. Unearned hope leads to despair. The way forward is to first accept the dire reality and then to engage in peaceful collective action that seizes the moral high ground, and never surrenders or compromises.The Black Freedom Struggle and long civil rights movements offer one such example. To paraphrase Hemingway: “A man alone ain’t got no bloody damn chance.”

* To capture a democratic nation, authoritarians must control three sources of power: the intelligence agencies, the justice system, and the military. President Donald Trump and his circle of would-be autocrats have made rapid progress toward seizing these institutions and detaching them from the Constitution and rule of law. The intelligence community has effectively been muzzled, and the nation’s top lawyers and cops are being purged and replaced with loyalist hacks.<br>Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and Trump’s threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the commander in chief. But for how long?<br>Trump and his valet at the Defense Department, Secretary of Physical Training Pete Hegseth, are now making a dedicated run at turning the men and women of the armed forces into Trump’s personal and partisan army. In his first term, Trump regularly violated the sacred American tradition of the military’s political neutrality, but people around him—including retired and active-duty generals such as James Mattis, John Kelly, and Mark Milley—restrained some of his worst impulses. Now no one is left to stop him: The president learned from his first-term struggles and this time has surrounded himself with a Cabinet of sycophants and ideologues rather than advisers, especially those at the Pentagon. He has declared war on Chicago; called Portland, Oregon, a “war zone”; and referred to his political opponents as “the enemy from within.” Trump clearly wants to use military power to exert more control over the American people, and soon, top U.S.-military commanders may have to decide whether they will refuse such orders from the commander in chief. The greatest crisis of American civil-military relations in modern history is now under way.

* I write these words with great trepidation. When I was a professor at the Naval War College, I gave lectures to American military officers about the sturdiness of civil-military relations in the United States, a remarkable historical achievement that has allowed the most powerful military in the world to serve democracy without being a threat to it. I so revered this system that I went to Moscow just before the fall of the U.S.S.R. and told an audience of Soviet military officers that they should look to the American military as a model for how to disentangle themselves from the Communist Party and Kremlin politics. I regularly reminded both my military students and civilian audiences that they had good reason to have faith in American institutions and the constitutional loyalty of U.S. civilian and military leaders.<br>This new and dangerous moment has arrived for many reasons, including Trump’s antics in front of young soldiers and sailors, through which he has succeeded in pulling many of them into displays of partisan behavior that are both an insult to American civil-military traditions and a violation of military regulations. Senior military leaders should have stepped in to prevent Trump from turning addresses at Fort Bragg and Naval Station Norfolk into political rallies; the silence of the Army and Navy secretaries, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and some top generals and admirals is appalling. To their credit, those same officers listened impassively as Trump and Hegseth subjected them to political rants during a meeting at Quantico last week. But young enlisted people and their immediate superiors take their cues from the top, and one day of decorum from the high command cannot reverse Trump’s influence on the rank and file.

* Trump’s rhetoric in his speeches to the military has been awful—he has ridiculed former commanders in chief, castigated sitting elected officials, and told the members of America’s armed forces that other Americans are their enemies. But his actions are worse. In deploying troops to American cities, he has set up a confrontation in which military commanders may soon have to choose between obeying the president and obeying the law. “This is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law,” Judge Karin Immergut—a conservative Trump appointee—wrote last week when she blocked Trump’s attempt to send troops to Portland. The White House aide [[Stephen Miller]] likely foreshadowed Trump’s next moves, including possibly ignoring such rulings, when he lashed out at Immergut’s decision. Miller, a man who hates being called a fascist, made the fascistic accusation that a “large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country” is being “shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general.”

* Trump, of course, doesn’t care all that much about Venezuelan speedboats or costumed pranksters in Portland. He cares about power, which is why he is determined to flex military muscle on the streets of American cities. As opposition grows and his popularity falls, Trump may be tempted to issue orders to the military that will be aimed at suppressing dissent, or disrupting elections, or detaining political figures; he has already floated the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act, which could enable such actions. He may even become desperate enough to launch a foreign war—as he seems to be trying to do right now with Venezuela. If more of these orders come, how should the leaders of America’s armed forces respond?

* Congress, so far, has been useless in restraining Trump: The Democrats are too timid, and the Republicans are too compromised. Only by standing together can the senior military officials warn Trump away from leading America into a full-blown civil-military confrontation.<br>Military officers are human beings, not Vulcans or robots. Even the most virtuous young officer may tremble at the idea of refusing a direct order—especially one from the president of the United States. Others may be tempted to abandon their oath, either by ideology or a misplaced sense of obedience, and they should recall Hyten’s warning from 2017: “If you execute an unlawful order, you will go to jail. You could go to jail for the rest of your life.” Most American military personnel, however, need no reminder of their constitutional duty. But they do need some reassurance that they have support from their chain of command to resist illegal orders. And the rest of us, whether we’re elected officials or ordinary citizens, should do everything we can to let our fellow Americans in uniform know that if they risk their careers and even their freedom to protect the Constitution, we will stand with them.

* A governmentwide reduction in force during the federal shutdown will touch an already lean U.S. Department of Education, the Trump administration said Friday, with the department’s office of elementary and secondary education potentially facing some of the most significant cuts. An Education Department spokesperson Friday confirmed the agency will be subject to the RIF but did not immediately answer how many positions would be part of the downsizing and in which department divisions. A spokesperson from the Office of Management and Budget—whose director, Russell Vought, announced the layoffs in a Friday post on X—called the government-wide reduction “substantial.”<br>The Education Department’s office of communication and outreach will see cuts to its state and local engagement team under the layoff, according to the union that represents department staff. Meanwhile, the office of elementary and secondary education, which oversees key programs such as Title I and enforcement of the Every Student Succeeds Act, will see cuts to all of its teams, the union said.<br>Others could still be affected, the union, a chapter of the American Federation of Government Employees, said.<br>“Once again, the Trump administration is acting as though they have impunity to cut staff from an already lean, efficient agency,” union president Rachel Gittleman said in a prepared statement. “Dismantling the government through mass firings, especially at the ED, is not the solution to our problems as a country.”<br>The layoffs were announced on the 10th day of the federal government shutdown, during which the Education Department had already furloughed roughly 87% of its staff after congressional lawmakers couldn’t come to an agreement to extend funding beyond the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.

* A furlough is different from a layoff in that it’s temporary. Generally, federal employees have to be given 60 days’ notice before a layoff can take effect. The cuts will slash an Education Department that has grown substantially leaner since the start of the second Trump administration. The agency has shed nearly half its staff since the winter. Its footprint shrank from more than 4,000 staff to about 2,400 after the department announced layoffs in March.<br>The earlier layoffs touched just about every office within the department—though they cut more deeply in some places than others, such as the office for civil rights, which lost just under half its 562 positions and seven of its 12 regional offices. The office of elementary and secondary education, which employed 282 staff members in 2023, lost at least 49 positions in the March cuts.<br>(Meanwhile, the office’s new leader, Kirsten Baesler, was just confirmed by the U.S. Senate on Tuesday but can’t be sworn in until the shutdown ends.)

* The earlier layoffs are being challenged in court by states and education leaders who say the department can’t carry out its congressionally mandated functions with fewer staff. Court orders delayed the layoffs, but higher courts have since allowed them to take effect.<br>The Education Department is among at least nine federal agencies subject to the shutdown RIF, according to Politico. The American Federation of Government Employees sued OMB last month for telling agencies to prepare RIF plans ahead of the shutdown. Normally, agencies prepare only to furlough staff during a shutdown and bring them back when the government reopens.<br>“It is disgraceful that the Trump administration has used the government shutdown as an excuse to illegally fire thousands of workers who provide critical services to communities across the country,” the union’s president, Everett Kelley, said in a prepared statement on Friday. “It’s time for Congress to do their jobs and negotiate an end to this shutdown immediately.”

* Trump created his MAGA coalition based on fear of “the other,” which has historically been a potent political move (think Richard Nixon’s perfection of the Southern strategy and Ronald Reagan’s aggressive race-baiting with his fictional Chicago welfare queen, among many other dog whistles).<br>After America elected and then re-elected Barack Obama, not only a Black man but a constitutional scholar and an intellectual, to the presidency, the Republicans in Congress completely lost their minds and pledged to make him fail as president. They began to do all they could to shut down government and to excoriate Democrats, using the list of pejorative terms former House Speaker Newt Gingrich cribbed from conservative shock-jock Rush Limbaugh. The hard turn in Congress away from collegiality and compromise had begun.

* We could argue the many, many inhumane points of Trumpist decrees if we were actually interested in discussing policy or, say, the mainline Christianity I once knew as a Presbyterian. But the Republican Party stopped working on policy — and started perverting Christianity — many election cycles back. Why? Largely because the GOP ran out of ideas that would fly with the American public (“Trickle-down” economics? C’mon, man!), and was assiduously courting the evangelical and Catholic religious right as a voting bloc. Meanwhile, “welcome-the-stranger” and “eye-of-the-needle” messages of Jesus had become entirely inconvenient for elite Republicans. With Trump, the Southern strategy morphed into something quite like a “Bring back the Jim Crow laws that inspired the Nazis” strategy.<br>To divert attention from their desire to give further assistance to the wealthy and corporations through tax breaks, they focused their energies on “othering” different groups: People of color, immigrants, Democrats, women and LGBTQ folks.<br>Of course, if you are part of the MAGA cult of personality, you don’t want to hear any of this. But we — progressives, liberals, Democrats, moderate Republicans (those horrible “RINOs”), people of faith and of no faith — are, frankly (to use a word Republicans love to utilize), the reasonable ones. There’s no question about it. To mimic Trump, everybody knows it. You do, too.

* Government works pretty well all over the world, so long as well-meaning people with strong, relevant experience are put in leadership positions. Look at this deplorable Trump “administration,” filled to the brim with suck-ups, grifters, unhinged ideologues and conspiracy-theory kooks — each one, including the one playacting at the Resolute desk, astonishingly unqualified. The word for that kind of group being in charge is kakistocracy, which is an unhappy-sounding term that describes a devastatingly unhappy situation: government by the worst people. It sounds like something you might utter right before vomiting.<br>A white supremacist theocracy, installing this Trumpian reign of the corrupt, mean-spirited, and woefully incompetent? We are just as disappointed and angry as you are about predatory capitalism, which leaves many Americans homeless and many more without access to health care. And we are just as angry about the failures of our democracy, which, as Robert Reich recently pointed out, are almost entirely due to lobbying money in politics. Much of our political class takes legal bribes and serves the interests of those with the most money.

* The only hope to save ourselves from Trump’s authoritarianism is mass movements. We must build alternative centers of power — including political parties, media, [[Labor history of the United States|labor unions]] and universities — to give a voice and agency to those who have been disempowered by our two ruling parties, especially the [[Working class in the United States|working class]] and working [[Poverty in the United States|poor]]. We must carry out strikes to cripple and thwart the abuses carried out by the emerging [[police state]]. We must champion a radical [[socialism]], which includes slashing the $1 trillion spent on the war industry and ending our suicidal addiction to fossil fuels, and lift up the lives of Americans cast aside in the wreckage of industrialization, declining wages, a decaying infrastructure and crippling [[austerity]] programs.

* The combination of Trump’s xenophobic rhetoric and policy has created a poisonous national environment, one not easily fixed. The problem is that, as hateful and awful as his actions are, he campaigned on carrying them out. He ran in large part on bigotry and won. During Trump’s debate with Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, he said of Haitian immigrants in Ohio, “They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there.” We knew about the lie-fueled fear he was trying to spread. In addition, Trump directly stated that he planned to carry out the largest deportation program in U.S. history. We knew what his intentions were, but we still weren’t paying enough attention. Perhaps no one fully expected the lengths Trump would go to, but either way America is facing the consequences. After the 2024 election, I wrote in an edition of this column that “America has chosen hate.” At our present moment, I deeply wish I had been wrong.<br>As our government spreads hate through racism and xenophobia, we must pay more attention. As you go through your day, thinking of so many other different things, pay attention to the dehumanization of immigrants. Pay attention to the families being ripped apart by sudden arrests and deportations. Pay attention to every new policy that makes it harder for hardworking people to migrate and make a living in the America we once proudly celebrated as diverse. Pay attention, because history has many examples for those who fall into the trap of repeating its bitter bigotry.

Professional medical organizations do not recommend surgery for children as a part of care, and research shows that it’s rare among transgender or gender-diverse teens.

* The Trump administration has given us precious little to be thankful for this year. As 2025 draws to a close, history will remember it as a year scarred by the chaos of a White House that seemed intent on breaking the back of our democracy once and for all. It’s a psychologically exhausting time for the millions already coping with a sagging job market and rising consumer prices.<br>A year-in-review posted by Mediaite lists dozens upon dozens of Trump’s scandals, crises and abuses while still failing to capture the full scope of incompetence and malice that defines this administration. Millions from all walks of life spent the year grappling with political earthquakes brought on by a nonfunctional and increasingly irrelevant Congress, a Supreme Court complicit in Trump’s radicalization of ICE, and a historic, tariff-driven wave of small business bankruptcies. As Mediaite discovered in its own attempt to catalogue the damage, the aftershocks are simply too numerous to count.<br>On the eve of America’s 250th birthday, what should be a celebration of enduring freedom feels in many ways like a looming funeral. 2025 saw the shredding of America’s social fabric to the point that Democrats and Republicans now seem to inhabit two mutually exclusive realities. ‘One nation under God’ has quickly become many nations under grievance.

* A Pew Research Center survey published this month shows just how far things have fallen in the opening decades of the 21st century. Back in 2001, 54 percent of Americans reported trusting the federal government, a slight increase from the 47 percent who felt that way in the 1980s. Now, public trust in government is scraping historic lows across every metric: As of 2025, only 17 percent of Americans believe that what their government is telling them is true.<br>That doubt goes far beyond just factually impaired politicians like Trump, too. As PBS News reported in October, fewer and fewer people trust government inflation numbers or jobs reports — thanks in large part to Trump’s constant demands that labor and economic statistics serve his political interests instead of reflecting objective reality. Public officials who were unwilling to fudge their numbers in order to make Trump look good quickly found themselves out of their jobs, as ousted Bureau of Labor statistics commissioner Erika McEntarfer discovered in August.<br>Pew data from September reveals that the collapse of public trust in institutions is widespread. Most Americans now believe the Supreme Court has become too powerful and too unaccountable. Public approval of the nation’s highest court has fallen by nearly 25 percent since 2020, with a majority now viewing the court’s justices unfavorably.

* Americans’ record level of distrust isn’t confined to the government. A Gallup poll found that trust in the media hit a new low of 28 percent in the back half of the year, with more than one-third of respondents saying they didn’t trust the news “at all.” Voting-age Americans now get their news from a larger number of sources than ever, from social media outlets like TikTok and X to YouTube influencers and, occasionally, even legacy news outlets like the ''New York Times''. Yet poll after poll suggests they are unlikely to trust any news except that which confirms their pre-existing political beliefs, which makes compromise — and even reasoned political discussion — all but impossible.<br>Most Americans don’t even trust their own neighbors or family members anymore. Nearly half of Americans now think members of the opposing political party are “evil.” Political polarization has increased so dramatically that both sides now routinely label their opponents as threats to democracy itself. Things have grown so tense that one in five American households report experiencing family estrangement due to political disagreements. Our families are quite literally collapsing from the weight of our all-consuming political and social hatreds.

* President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he’s withdrawing the National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland but left the door open to sending federal forces “in a much different and stronger form.” His announcement comes after the US Supreme Court last week rejected his request to allow him to deploy the guard to Chicago to protect ICE agents as part of the administration’s ongoing immigration crackdown.<br>“We are removing the National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, despite the fact that CRIME has been greatly reduced by having these great Patriots in those cities, and ONLY by that fact,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, arguing that those cities would be “gone if it weren’t for the Federal Government stepping in.” He suggested the possibility of future deployments, writing, “We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again - Only a question of time!”

* In blocking the guard deployment to Chicago, the Supreme Court suggested that a president’s power to federalize the guard — which federal law allows when he can no longer execute the laws of the United States with “regular forces” — would not apply to protecting agents enforcing immigration laws.<br>While the ruling was a blow to his administration’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration, it appeared likely Trump could still invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy regular forces to Chicago and other cities. Invoking the 19th century law — a controversial move that Trump and his aides repeatedly teased during the 2024 campaign and early in the second term — would give him broad authority to evade restrictions on using the military domestically.<br>A separate National Guard deployment that Trump authorized in New Orleans began Tuesday as part of a heavy security presence for New Year’s celebrations a year after an attack on revelers on Bourbon Street killed 14 people. And Trump gave no indication he is pulling back from using the National Guard in Washington, DC, where it is operating under a different federal law that was not at issue before the Supreme Court.

* A federal judge had previously ordered the return of control of the California National Guard to Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, but that ruling had been paused while the administration appealed. The Trump administration said in court papers on Tuesday that it was no longer requesting a pause on that portion of the order. On Wednesday, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld the lower court order and directed the Trump administration to return control of the troops to Newsom.<br>“About time @realDonaldTrump admitted defeat,” Newsom said in a post on X. “We’ve said it from day one: the federal takeover of California’s National Guard is illegal.”<br>Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, echoed similar sentiments in response to Trump’s announcement.<br>“He lost in court when Illinois stood up against his attempt to militarize American cities with the National Guard,” Pritzker said on social media. “Now Trump is forced to stand down.”

* '''In a move that stunned the world, the United States bombed Venezuela and abducted President Nicolas Maduro amid condemnation and plaudits.'''<br>In a news conference on Saturday at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, US President Donald Trump praised the operation to seize Maduro as one of the “most stunning, effective and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history”. It was the riskiest and most high-profile military operation sanctioned by Washington since the US Navy’s SEAL team killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in a safe house in Pakistan’s Abbottabad in 2011.<br>News of the 63-year-old Maduro being abducted took over the global news cycle. After months of escalation and threats over Maduro’s alleged involvement in shipping drugs to the US, the Trump administration had increased pressure on Caracas with a military buildup in the Caribbean and a series of deadly missile attacks on alleged drug-running boats. '''The legality of the strikes, which killed more than 100 people, has been heavily questioned by the United Nations and legal experts.''' The US had also offered a $50m reward for information leading to Maduro’s arrest.<br>But while the military was conducting operations in the Caribbean, US intelligence had been gathering information about Maduro. Meanwhile, special forces were covertly rehearsing a plan to forcibly remove him from power.

* During his news conference on Saturday, Trump announced that the US would “run” Venezuela until a new leader was chosen. “We’re going to make sure that country is run properly. We’re not doing this in vain,” he said. “This is a very dangerous attack. This is an attack that could have gone very, very badly.” The president did not rule out deploying US troops in the country and said he was “not afraid of boots on the ground if we have to”. Trump also, somewhat surprisingly, ruled out working with opposition figure and Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado, who had dedicated her prize, which he wanted to win himself, to the US president. “She doesn’t have the support within, or the respect within, the country,” he said.<br>The Constitutional Chamber of Venezuela’s Supreme Court ordered Vice President Delcy Rodriguez to serve as acting president following the US’s abduction of Maduro. The court ruled that Rodriguez would assume “the office of President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in order to guarantee administrative continuity and the comprehensive defence of the Nation”. The court also said it would work to “determine the applicable legal framework to guarantee the continuity of the State, the administration of government, and the defense of sovereignty in the face of the forced absence of the President of the Republic”.<br>Trump had said earlier on Saturday that the US would not occupy Venezuela, provided Rodriguez “does what we want”.

* Donald Trump has again proposed annexing Greenland, after Denmark's leader urged him to "stop the threats" over the island. Speaking to reporters, the US president said "we need Greenland from the standpoint of national security". Trump has repeatedly raised the prospect of the semi-autonomous Danish territory becoming an annexed part of the US, citing its strategic location for defence purposes and mineral wealth. Greenland's Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen responded by saying "that's enough now" and described the notion of US control over the island as a "fantasy". He said: "No more pressure. No more insinuations. No more fantasies of annexation. We are open to dialogue. We are open to discussions. But this must happen through the proper channels and with respect for international law."<br>Earlier, Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen had said "the US has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish kingdom". Frederiksen added that Denmark "and thus Greenland" was a Nato member and covered by the alliance's security guarantee, and said a defence agreement granting the US access to the island was already in place.

* The Danish prime minister released her statement after Katie Miller - the wife of one of Trump's senior aides, Stephen Miller - posted on social media a map of Greenland in the colours of the American flag alongside the word "SOON".<br>The Danish ambassador to the US responded to the post by Miller - a right-wing podcaster and former aide to Trump during his first term - with a "friendly reminder" that the two countries were allies and saying Denmark expected respect for its territorial integrity.<br>The back and forth over the future Greenland comes in the wake of a major military operation against Venezuela on Saturday, seizing its president Nicolás Maduro and his wife and removing them to New York. Trump later said the US would "run" Venezuela and US oil companies would "start making money for the country".<br>The situation has reignited fears that the US may consider using force to secure control of Greenland, a vast island in the Arctic - something the US president has previously refused to rule out. Trump has claimed that making it part of the United States would serve American security interests due to its strategic location and its abundance of minerals critical to high-tech sectors.

* The Trump administration's recent move to appoint a special envoy to Greenland prompted anger in Denmark. Greenland, which has a population of 57,000 people, has had extensive self-government since 1979, though defence and foreign policy remain in Danish hands. While most Greenlanders favour eventual independence from Denmark, opinion polls show overwhelming opposition to becoming part of the US.<br>In comments to the BBC, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said that only Denmark and Greenland could decide the territory's fate. "Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark must decide the future of Greenland, and only Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark," he said.<br>Separately, a representative for the European Union has rejected a claim by Trump that the EU "needs" the US to control the territory. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One at the weekend that "the EU needs us to have [Greenland] and they know that." European Commission chief spokesperson Paula Pinho told the BBC that it was "certainly not" the EU's position, adding that she was unaware of any discussions with the US about the issue.

* Norwegian leaders are making it clear that they continue to strongly support their Danish counterparts’ efforts to defend the Kingdom of Denmark, which has sovereignty over Denmark, Greenland and the Færoe Islands. US Donald Trump’s threats to take over Greenland, they say, would not only be another US violation of the Rule of Law but also a violation of the NATO pact.

* “My starting point is that it won’t happen,” Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide told newspaper Aftenposten after Trump claimed once again that “we need Greenland.” Trump’s latest remarks to reporters came just after he’d ordered a military intervention in Venezuela that Norway called a violation of the Rule of Law. Trump’s remarks also prompted Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to quickly respond that the “USA has no right to annex one of the three countries in our kingdom.” That further prompted Norway’s own prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre, to confirm his support for Frederiksen on national radio Monday morning.<br>“We have to speak out about how Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and its (future) is up to the Danes and the Greenlanders,” Støre said on state broadcaster NRK’s popular morning talkshow Politisk kvarter. The program had invited both Støre and the head of the opposition in the Norwegian Parliament, Sylvi Listhaug of the right-wing Progress Party, to a New Year’s debate that took a new turn after Trump’s remarks during the night before.<br>Listhaug and Støre are usually at odds on most issues, but in this case, she firmly supported both Støre and Denmark. Listhaug called Trump’s grab for Greenland “completely unacceptable” and stressed that “international rules” must apply.

* The Danes can point to their own right to Greenland through their national sovereignty laws, and that the population of Greenland is nearly twice what Miller claimed: 57,000. Military experts and researchers in Denmark also deny Trump’s claim that Chinese and Russian ships are lurking all around Greenland, calling it an attempt to legitimize his takeover attempt. The Danish Parliament’s foreign affairs committee was calling in members for a crisis meeting Tuesday night.

* Head Start early childhood programs are fighting back against the Trump administration in a lawsuit after being told words like “Black,” “disability,” “female,” “minority,” “trauma,” “tribal,” and “women" must be removed from funding applications — or be denied, NPR reports. The list, submitted Dec. 5, includes 200 words, including “accessible" and "belong" in a lawsuit from programs in states including Pennsylvania, Washington, Wisconsin, and Illinois, all against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The group argues that the Trump administration’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ban in federal programs conflicts with Head Start’s statutory mandate, which includes providing “linguistically and culturally appropriate” services, in addition to early intervention services for disabled children.<br>The list revelation came after the executive director of a Wisconsin-based Head Start program submitted a Sept. 30, 2025, application for funding and was rejected after 50 years. Two months later, the director, Mary Roe, said she received two emails from HHS instructing her to “please remove the following words from your application" — a total of 19 words, including "racism,” “race,” and “racial” were listed.<br>Her application was returned, but shortly after, Roe received another email from her appointed HHS program specialist saying, “I wanted to follow up with you concerning your application." "I sent it back asking for the removal of particular words, and I wanted to provide you with the complete list of words to make sure they are not in your applications," the specialist explained.

* Roe labels the issue an “impossible situation” since the federal Head Start Act contains many of the words that programs are now being forced to avoid. One of Head Start’s longstanding responsibilities is “to create inclusive and accessible classrooms for children with disabilities,” but now HHS is pushing against the words “disability,” “disabilities,” and “inclusion” in funding applications.<br>With the list now out in the public, Head Start centers could be forced to eliminate the definition of DEI, which the former lead of the Office of Child Care, Ruth Friedman, calls fear. "Grantees are sort of self-selecting out of those activities beforehand because of fear and direction they're getting from the Office of Head Start that they can't do these important research-based activities anymore that are important for children's learning and that are actually required by law," Friedman, who served under former President Joe Biden, said, according to Associated Press.<br>The move is another attack on DEI handed down by President Donald Trump who signed a January 2025 executive order labeling “illegal DEI and DEIA policies not only violate the text and spirit of our longstanding Federal civil-rights laws" but "also undermine our national unity, as they deny, discredit, and undermine the traditional American values of hard work, excellence, and individual achievement in favor of an unlawful, corrosive, and pernicious identity-based spoils system.” Since then, the domino effect targeted college campuses, retail, nonprofits, grants, and more.

* Arctic security remains a key priority for Europe and it is critical for international and transatlantic security. NATO has made clear that the Arctic region is a priority and European Allies are stepping up. We and many other Allies have increased our presence, activities and investments, to keep the Arctic safe and to deter adversaries. The Kingdom of Denmark – including Greenland – is part of NATO. Security in the Arctic must therefore be achieved collectively, in conjunction with NATO allies including the United States, by upholding the principles of the UN Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders.

* Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Monday said that a US takeover of Greenland would mean the end of the NATO military alliance. On Tuesday, Frederiksen released a joint statement with the leaders of Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Spain and the UK reiterating that European allies were stepping up "to keep the Arctic safe and to deter adversaries." It comes after US President Donald Trump renewed his calls for the large Arctic island, which is an autonomous territory of Denmark, to come under Washington's control. Frederiksen said that "everything would stop" when it comes to cooperation with Washington in the event of a US attack on another NATO member. "If the United States decides to attack another NATO country, then everything would stop — that includes NATO and therefore post-World War II security," Frederiksen said.<br>Meanwhile, Greenland's prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, called for the territory to restore "good cooperation" with the United States and urged Greenlanders not to "panic." "The situation is not such that the United States can conquer Greenland. That is not the case. Therefore, we must not panic. We must restore the good cooperation we once had," Nielsen said while speaking in Greenland's capital, Nuuk. In a social media post on Monday, he called for Trump to give up "fantasies" of annexing Greenland. "That's enough now. No more pressure. No more insinuations. No more fantasies of annexation." "We are open to dialogue," he said. "But this must happen through the proper channels and with respect for international law."

* On Sunday, Trump reiterated his view that Greenland should come under the control of the United States a day after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was captured in a US incursion and taken to New York to stand trial. "We need Greenland," Trump told journalists on Sunday, stressing that this was necessary for Washington's "national security" and claiming that the island was surrounded "by Chinese and Russian ships." Trump has in the past offered to buy the territory, while not ruling out the use of military force to take it over.<br>Greenland has large quantities of oil, critical minerals and other resources. The territory could also gain economic importance in coming decades as new Arctic shipping routes open due to the melting of polar ice. Greenland already hosts a US military base, and Copenhagen has expressed willingness to allow for the deployment of additional US troops. On Monday, top Trump adviser Stephen Miller described Greenland as "a colony of Denmark," adding "nobody's going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland."

"Greenland belongs to its people, and only Denmark and Greenland can decide on matters concerning their relations," the leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Denmark said in a joint statement. On Sunday, Donald Trump said the US "needed" Greenland - a semi-autonomous region of fellow Nato member Denmark - for security reasons. He has refused to rule out the use of force to take control of the territory, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned on Monday that an attack by the US would spell the end of NATO.

* The Trump administration will withdraw from dozens of international organizations, including the U.N.'s population agency and the U.N. treaty that establishes international climate negotiations, as the U.S. further retreats from global cooperation. President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order suspending U.S. support for 66 organizations, agencies, and commissions, following his administration’s review of participation in and funding for all international organizations, including those affiliated with the United Nations, according to a White House release.<br>Many of the targets are U.N.-related agencies, commissions and advisory panels that focus on climate, labor, migration and other issues the Trump administration has categorized as catering to diversity and “woke” initiatives. Other non-U.N. organizations on the list include the Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, and the Global Counterterrorism Forum.<br>“The Trump Administration has found these institutions to be redundant in their scope, mismanaged, unnecessary, wasteful, poorly run, captured by the interests of actors advancing their own agendas contrary to our own, or a threat to our nation’s sovereignty, freedoms, and general prosperity,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement.<br>Trump's decision to withdraw from organizations that foster cooperation among nations to address global challenges comes as his administration has launched military efforts or issued threats that have rattled allies and adversaries alike, including capturing autocratic Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and indicating an intention to take over Greenland.

* The administration previously suspended support for agencies like the World Health Organization, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees known as UNRWA, the U.N. Human Rights Council and the U.N. cultural agency UNESCO. It has taken a larger, à la carte approach to paying dues to the world body, picking which operations and agencies it believes align with Trump’s agenda and those that no longer serve U.S. interests.<br>“I think what we’re seeing is the crystallization of the U.S. approach to multilateralism, which is ‘my way or the highway,’” said Daniel Forti, head of U.N. affairs at the International Crisis Group. “It's a very clear vision of wanting international cooperation on Washington’s own terms.”<br>It has marked a major shift from how previous administrations — both Republican and Democratic — have dealt with the U.N., and it has forced the world body, already undergoing its own internal reckoning, to respond with a series of staffing and program cuts. Many independent nongovernmental agencies — some that work with the United Nations — have cited many project closures because of the U.S. administration’s decision last year to slash foreign assistance through the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID.<br>Despite the massive shift, Trump administration officials say they see the potential of the U.N. and want to instead focus taxpayer money on expanding American influence in many of the standard-setting U.N. initiatives where there is competition with China, like the International Telecommunications Union, the International Maritime Organization and the International Labor Organization.

* The withdrawal from the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, or UNFCCC, is the latest effort by Trump and his allies to distance the U.S. from international organizations focused on climate and addressing climate change. UNFCCC, the 1992 agreement between 198 countries to financially support climate change activities in developing countries, is the underlying treaty for the landmark Paris climate agreement. Trump — who calls climate change a hoax — withdrew from that agreement soon after reclaiming the White House.<br>Gina McCarthy, former White House National Climate Adviser, said being the only country in the world not part of the treaty is “shortsighted, embarrassing, and a foolish decision.” “This Administration is forfeiting our country’s ability to influence trillions of dollars in investments, policies, and decisions that would have advanced our economy and protected us from costly disasters wreaking havoc on our country,” McCarthy, who co-chairs America Is All In, a coalition of climate-concerned U.S. states and cities, said in a statement.<br>Mainstream scientists say climate change is behind increasing instances of deadly and costly extreme weather, including flooding, droughts, wildfires, intense rainfall events and dangerous heat.

* The U.S. withdrawal could hinder global efforts to curb greenhouse gases because it “gives other nations the excuse to delay their own actions and commitments,” said Stanford University climate scientist Rob Jackson, who chairs the Global Carbon Project, a group of scientists that tracks countries’ carbon dioxide emissions.

When President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, he restored funding for the agency.

* The Trump administration is denying state and local officials any access to the investigation into the shooting, offering little hope for a non-partisan probe into what happened. “They don’t have any jurisdiction in this investigation,” Noem said Thursday. She then railed against Minneapolis and Minnesota officials for not doing enough to assist ICE. Her remarks came after Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) Superintendent Drew Evans released a statement saying the U.S. attorney’s office has barred it from participating in the federal investigation.<br>“Without complete access to the evidence, witnesses and information collected, we cannot meet the investigative standards that Minnesota law and the public demands,” Evans wrote. “As a result, the BCA has reluctantly withdrawn from the investigation.” It’s impossible for Minnesota to do its own investigation without the federal government’s cooperation, the state’s Department of Public Safety commissioner Bob Jacobson explained Thursday.<br>“They do have all the evidence in the original investigative notes and reports. We have none of that. They have shared none of that with us,” he said. “We would welcome the opportunity to jump back in to ... find the answers that the public deserves. Without any of that information, without any of that assistance from the FBI or the federal government, we would be at a loss to be able to initiate and conduct a thorough investigation.” Noem said Thursday she’s already confident the investigation will clear the ICE agent of any wrongdoing.<br>“We have expected all the policies and procedures of review will be exactly that he acted appropriately to protect his life and the life of his colleagues,” she said Thursday when asked to share more information about him.<br>Following Noem’s remarks, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) said getting a fair outcome from an investigation into the shooting “feels very, very difficult” now. “I say that only because people in positions of power have already passed judgment, from the President to the Vice President to Kristi Noem, have stood and told you things that are verifiably false, verifiably inaccurate,” a despondent Walz said at a press conference. “They have determined the character of a 37-year-old mom that they didn’t even know.”

* The Trump administration announced it is suspending $129m in federal benefit payments to Minnesota amid allegations of widespread fraud in the state. The secretary of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Brooke Rollins, shared a letter on Friday on social media that was addressed to Minnesota’s governor, Tim Walz, and the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, notifying them of the administration’s decision and citing investigations into alleged fraud conducted by local non-profits and businesses. “Despite a staggering, wide-reaching fraud scandal, your administrations refuse to provide basic information or take common sense measures to stop fraud. The Trump administration refuses to allow such fraud to continue,” Rollins wrote.<br>Rollins asked Walz and Frey to provide the USDA with justification for all federal spending from 20 January 2025 to the present within 30 days. She is also requiring that all federal payments to the state moving forward require the same justification. “We’re communicating with state partners to understand the impacts of such a blanket cut to funding meant for residents most in need,” Brian Feintech, a spokesperson for the city of Minneapolis, said in a written statement in response to Rollins’s letter.<br>“What’s abundantly clear is that Minneapolis is the latest target of the Trump administration – willing to harm Americans in service to its perceived political gain.”<br>Minnesota’s attorney general, Keith Ellison, publicly responded to Rollins’s post, writing on X: “I will not allow you to take from Minnesotans in need. I’ll see you in court.”

* The USDA’s announcement coincides with a federal ruling that the Trump administration cannot block federal money for childcare subsidies and other programs aimed at supporting low-income families with children from reaching five Democratic-led states, including Minnesota. The Trump administration has targeted Minnesota over the past year over allegations of fraud, specifically going after the state’s Somali population. Federal prosecutors estimate as much as $9bn has been stolen across schemes allegedly linked to the state’s Somali population. Trump ended legal protections for Somali immigrants in the state in November 2025, claiming that “Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from.”<br>Shortly thereafter, Trump went off on both Somalis and Ilhan Omar, the Minnesota congressional representative who is from Somalia and is a US citizen, in a xenophobic rant during a cabinet meeting. “They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country, I’ll be honest with you,” the president said. He called Omar “garbage” and said “we’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country”.

* A month later, in December 2025, the FBI announced that it was deploying additional investigative and personnel resources to “dismantle large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs” in the state, according to its director, Kash Patel. Patel said the agency had already dismantled a $250m fraud scheme that stole federal food aid meant for vulnerable children during the Covid pandemic in a case that led to 78 indictments and 57 convictions.<br>Last week, Walz announced that he would not run for a third term as Minnesota’s governor, as his handling of the fraud has fallen under intense scrutiny from Trump and Republicans. In his announcement, Walz acknowledged that the president and his political allies have taken advantage of the crisis to sow further division in the state.<br>“I won’t mince words here,” Walz said. “Donald Trump and his allies – in Washington, in St Paul and online – want to make our state a colder, meaner place.”

Protest organizers said more than 1,000 weekend events were planned across the country demanding an end to large-scale deployments of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents ordered by President Donald Trump, mostly to cities led by Democratic politicians.<br>Minneapolis became a major flashpoint of the Republican president's militarized deportation roundups on Wednesday, when an ICE officer shot and killed a 37-year-old mother of three, Renee Good, behind the wheel of her car on a residential street. The violence came soon after some 2,000 federal officers were dispatched to Minneapolis in what ICE's parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, called the "largest DHS operation ever." Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a Democrat, condemned the deployment as a "reckless" example of "governance by reality TV."

* On Friday night, throngs of demonstrators staged a "noise protest" outside a Minneapolis hotel believed to be lodging a visiting contingent of ICE agents. Video posted by activists on social media showed protesters, some wearing brightly colored inflatable costumes, creating a din by beating on drums, banging pots and pans, yelling through bullhorns and blowing on brass instruments and whistles. Others directed high-power flashlight beams at the hotel's windows. The crowd thinned after yellow-vested state police in riot gear marched into the area and declared an unlawful assembly, CNN reported.<br>Police were responding to "information that demonstrators were no longer peaceful and reports of damage to property," the Minnesota Department of Public Safety said on X. "Dispersal orders were given prior to arrests." At the time she was killed, Good was participating in one of numerous "neighborhood patrols" that track, monitor and record ICE activities, according to family and local activists.<br>Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other Trump administration officials said Good was "impeding" and "stalking" ICE agents all day, and that the officer opened fire in self-defense when she tried to ram her car into him in an "act of domestic terrorism."

* Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, pointed to bystander video he said directly contradicted the federal government's "garbage narrative." Civil liberties advocates said the video showed federal agents lacked any justification for using deadly force.<br>Amid the sharply differing accounts of the shooting, Minnesota and Hennepin County law enforcement authorities said on Friday they were opening their own criminal inquiry of the incident separate from a federal investigation led by the FBI. Some Trump administration officials, including Vice President JD Vance, asserted state prosecutors lack jurisdiction to charge a federal officer with a crime, though legal experts say federal immunity in such cases is not automatic.<br>The crisis atmosphere led Walz - a prominent Trump antagonist who branded Trump and his Republican allies as "weird" during his own run for vice president last year - to put the state's National Guard on alert.<br>Federal-state tensions escalated further on Thursday when a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Portland, Oregon, shot and wounded a man and woman in their car after an attempted vehicle stop. As in the Minneapolis incident, DHS said the driver had tried to "weaponize" his vehicle and run over agents. DHS on Friday identified the wounded driver and passenger as suspected gang associates from Venezuela who were in the U.S. illegally. The agency said the woman had been involved in a prior shootout in Portland but provided no evidence of its allegations against the pair.

* Portland Mayor Keith Wilson, echoing Frey, said he could not be sure the government's account was grounded in fact without an independent investigation. The deployment of agents to Minneapolis follows Trump's recent denunciations of Walz and his state's large population of Somali immigrants over allegations of fraud dating back to 2020 by some nonprofit groups administering childcare and other social-service programs. Good was shot dead just a few blocks from where George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer crushing his neck into the pavement with his knee during a videotaped arrest in May 2020. Floyd's death sparked months of nationwide racial-justice protests during Trump's first term in office.<br>Bystander video of the Minneapolis incident showed masked officers approaching Good's Honda SUV while it was stopped at a perpendicular angle to the street, partially blocking traffic. One agent is seen ordering her out of the car and grabbing onto the driver-side front door handle as the car pulls forward and steers away from the officers, one of whom jumps back and fires three shots into the front of the vehicle as it rolls past.

She is heard telling him, "That's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you" - moments before he opens fire as she drives forward into the street, steering the car away from him. Noem has said he was treated at a local hospital for unspecified injuries and released. The car's front bumper appears in the bystander video to pass Ross before he shot at Good.

* On an unseasonably warm Wednesday in Minneapolis, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot a woman in the face. The many eyes of our everyday panopticon recorded the event from multiple angles. Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mom of three, had stopped her maroon SUV on a snowy street crawling with ICE officials. According to eyewitness reports, multiple men in masks shouted conflicting orders at her: At least one apparently demanded that she exit her vehicle and tried to open her door; another told her to drive away. Good seems to have moved slowly as she tried to maneuver around the agents surrounding her car. After appearing to first wave for someone to move, she reversed slightly and turned away from the agents to continue down the street. An ICE agent who appears to have been knocked back by her front bumper responded by shooting into her vehicle, and shot again as the SUV, suddenly without a conscious driver, [careened] into a parked car ahead.<br>Chaos erupted. A man announcing himself as a physician ran toward the scene to attempt to render first aid, but an ICE agent commanded him to step back. When emergency medical workers finally arrived on foot 15 minutes later, they clumsily pulled Good’s body from the driver’s seat, leaving behind a blood-soaked airbag. Onlookers immediately rose up in anger and outrage, screaming at the agents and shouting profanities. One man howled “Murderer! Murderer!” over and over again. Good’s partner, who was near the SUV, can be heard saying through sobs that Good was her wife, that their 6-year-old was at school, and that they were new in town, didn’t know anybody, had no one to call for help.<br>'''The alarm was warranted. Everyone on the scene had witnessed the crossing of a crucial line in Donald Trump’s mass-deportation project: ICE had just killed an American citizen on American soil.'''<br>'''The administration has since declared that the agent “is protected by absolute immunity,” whatever that means, a signal of unconditional support for an agency bloated with thousands of new, heavily armed, and minimally trained recruits, deployed around the country to help achieve Trump’s goal of deporting 1 million immigrants a year. Events such as Good’s death set the stage for yet more lethal confrontations, which the administration can be trusted to defend with the same specious pretext. What is now overt, in a way that it hadn’t been Wednesday morning, is that these agents are at war with the public, and have been for some time.'''

* Good’s killing was the culmination of months of roiling tensions between the Department of Homeland Security and the communities it routinely invades to round up people for summary deportation. Having more than doubled ICE’s workforce in a matter of months, DHS has been fretting theatrically about how these agents are risking “their lives to remove the worst of the worst.” In retrospect, those concerns now seem like threats—a preemptive excuse for maximum violence.<br>The Trump administration instantly characterized Good’s killing as a matter of self-defense on the part of the ICE agent, whom The Minnesota Star Tribune has identified as Jonathan Ross, a 10-year agency veteran and member of its Special Response Team. Faced with footage of the incident Wednesday night, Trump offered the MAGA gloss on what took place: “She ran him over.” In fact, videos show that Ross remained upright.<br>In a press conference, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem claimed that Good had been killed because she had been “stalking and impeding” ICE agents all day, and that she had tried to “weaponize her vehicle” in an act of “domestic terrorism.” By Thursday, when White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt presented the administration’s official line, the story had grown more baroque. Leavitt maintained that Good was part of a “larger, sinister, left-wing movement that has spread across our country, where our brave men and women of federal law enforcement are under organized attack.” Thus Ross, as a target of a dangerous conspiracy, had merely been operating in self-defense.

* In the administration’s closest brush with acknowledging wrongdoing, J. D. Vance mentioned to reporters Thursday that Ross had been involved in an incident with a vehicle several months ago, during which he was dragged for 100 yards and subsequently required numerous stitches: “So you think maybe he’s a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile?” These remarks could reasonably be taken to imply that Ross’s decision to shoot Good was an emotional overreaction based on past trauma, but then Vance pivoted: Ross “deserves a debt of gratitude.” In other words, even if Ross did act in error, Good’s death still bears the administration’s stamp of approval.

* '''Protesters in Minneapolis have since flooded the streets in the thousands, and ICE agents have responded by apprehending some, shoving others to the ground, and spraying chemical irritants in their faces. These incidents have ignited mass demonstrations nationwide, in which protesters have wailed “Shame” and “Murder,” banged drums, screeched from metal whistles, and hoisted signs declaring what is no longer deniable: ICE kills.'''<br>''''It therefore felt grimly inevitable when the Department of Homeland Security issued a statement Thursday night confirming that Border Patrol officers shot at two people in a targeted traffic stop in Portland, Oregon. “When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants,” the post on X read, “the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents.” There is nothing to stop the echoes of this rationale, and we should expect to hear it again and again. There may come a time when the administration dispenses with offering an explanation at all.'''

* President Donald Trump continued his threats towards Greenland on Friday, as he insisted that if the United States did not act Russia or China could occupy it in the future. Trump said that if he is unable to make a deal to acquire the territory “the easy way,” then he will have to “do it the hard way.” “We are going to do something in Greenland, whether they like it or not, because if we don’t do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor,” Trump told reporters at the White House. Greenland’s party leaders, including the opposition, issued a joint statement saying: “We do not want to be Americans, we do not want to be Danes, we want to be Greenlanders. The future of Greenland must be decided by the Greenlandic people.”<br>The US president and his White House officials have been discussing a range of options on how to bring Greenland under US control amid renewed interest in the strategically significant Danish-controlled territory, and has not ruling out a military intervention. The governments of Greenland and Denmark continue to publicly and privately insist it is not for sale. It remains unclear how other NATO members would respond if the US decided to take Greenland by force. European leaders have warned that such a move would have serious consequences for the military alliance. In a joint statement the leaders of France, Germany, the UK, Italy, Poland and Spain said Greenland belongs to its own people.

* “I would like to make a deal the easy way but if we don’t do it the easy way, we’re going to do it the hard way. And by the way, I’m a fan of Denmark too. I have to tell you, they have been very nice to me. I’m a big fan,” Trump said. He claimed that the move was necessary to prevent Russia or China from taking Greenland at some point in the future. Asked about a recent report that the US was weighing making payments to Greenlanders to convince them to join the US, Trump said, “I’m not talking about money for Greenland yet.”<br>Many Greenlanders have already rejected the idea of accepting money to become part of the US. “No thank you. It’s absolutely certain that we don’t want that,” one resident of the capital city of Nuuk, Simon Kjeldskov, told Reuters. Another resident, Juno Michaelsen, said: “Any number in the world and we will say no. It belongs to us and only us.”<br>The top Washington-based diplomats for Greenland and Denmark met with White House officials on Thursday. Denmark’s Ambassador Jesper Møller Sørensen and Greenland’s head of representation to the US Jacob Isbosethsen met with Trump advisers, diplomats familiar with the matter told CNN. Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen alongside four other party leaders once again rejected Trump’s calls to acquire the semi-autonomous territory in a statement release Friday night and seen by Reuters. The leaders said a planned meeting of Greenland’s parliament, the Inatsisartut, to discuss its response to the Trump administration’s threats would be brought forward. The date of the meeting has not yet been determined. Greenland’s parliament last met in November and had been scheduled to meet again on February 3.

* Several thousand protesters gathered at a park coated with fresh snow on Minneapolis’s south side Saturday afternoon, near where Renée Good lived and was fatally shot. “Say her name: Renée Good!” they chanted, along with “We will not put up with ICE!” There were mothers with children and babies in carriers, families and seniors holding homemade signs that read “ICE murdered Renée Good,” and “Indict agent Jonathan Ross,” the man identified through court records as the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who killed Good. Protesters turned out in cities across the country, including Boston, New York City, Austin and Philadelphia, many organized by progressive group Indivisible and titled “ICE Out For Good.”<br>In Minneapolis, the demonstrations in recent days “have remained peaceful until last night,” Police Chief Brian O’Hara said during a news conference Saturday. O’Hara said one Friday night protest outside a hotel believed to be housing ICE agents grew tense when some individuals caused property damage and, over the course of the night, threw ice, snow and rocks at officers.<br>Police arrested 29 people and at least one officer sustained injuries after being hit by a chunk of ice, O’Hara said. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey urged demonstrators to remain peaceful and to not “take the bait” into violent escalation. “We are meeting a whole lot of despair with a lot of hope,” Frey said Saturday. “We are doing right. We are being strategic. And yes, for those that aren’t being strategic... there are consequences.”

* The state has also been grappling with how to respond after the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said the FBI was revoking its access to the case file, scene evidence and witness interviews in Good’s shooting. Trump administration officials have called the incident a federal matter, but state prosecutors say it falls in their jurisdiction and announced Friday they will conduct their own review of the shooting in an effort to gather evidence the FBI won’t share with them. Video of the hotly contested shooting has gradually emerged, including cellphone footage recorded by the ICE officer as he fatally shot Good.<br>The 47-second recording shows for the first time that Renée Good spoke to Ross before he shot her, and reveals that, a split second before the gunfire, Good’s wife urged her to drive away from the scene. It does not show whether Good’s SUV came into contact with Ross, as the administration contends. Vice President JD Vance said Friday that the video exonerated Ross. “The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self defense,” Vance wrote on X.<br>Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said Friday that it’s too early for anyone to reach a conclusion about the shooting “in good faith” because there’s too much evidence still to be evaluated. How the investigation plays out was on protesters’ minds Saturday. “War is being waged on our community. I’m here because sometimes it feels like there’s not a lot you can do,” said Nora Sonneborn, 28, who lives nearby, works in administration and held a hand-painted sign that said, “Melt the ICE.” She called the FBI’s move to exclude state authorities from the shooting investigation “ridiculous.” “A crime was committed in our home and we have every right to investigate,” she said.

* Saturday morning, about five miles from the protests, there was a brief standoff between U.S. lawmakers and armed federal officers outside a Minneapolis-area federal building. In social media posts and media interviews afterward, three Democratic congresswomen from Minnesota said they had sought to oversee the conditions at a regional ICE field office, but were allowed in only briefly before officials ordered them to leave.<br>Videos posted by journalists on the scene showed Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig and Kelly Morrison standing outside the facility’s gate as a line of federal agents dressed in tactical gear and camouflage initially barred them from entering. A female voice could be heard saying, “I’m a sitting member of the United States Congress,” and asking, “Have you contacted your supervisor?”<br>“It is deeply disturbing to think what ICE is hiding when they are actively denying members from conducting their oversight authority,” Omar said in a statement Saturday. “When people disappear in the darkness, American democracy dies.”<br>Last month, a federal judge temporarily blocked new Trump administration policies restricting members of Congress from making unannounced oversight visits to ICE facilities funded via congressional appropriations bills. In a statement Saturday afternoon, however, Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the ruling did not apply because the court exempted ICE operations funded by last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. She said that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem issued fresh orders Jan. 8 reiterating that congressmembers must give seven days’ notice before visiting ICE detention facilities. “Because they were out of compliance with this mandate, Representative Omar and her colleagues were denied entry to the facility,” McLaughlin said.

* Roberta Sloan, 66, a retired nurse who drove from Rochester, Minnesota, to join the protest in the park on Minneapolis’s south side, said she was frustrated that Omar’s effort to enter the ICE facility was challenged, but glad the congresswomen tried. “They have every right to be there to see these detention places and how people are being treated,” she said. Sloan was also pleased with how Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis’s mayor have spoken out against the ICE operation and shooting. “They are standing up for what Minnesota stands for,” she said, and that’s why she felt compelled to protest: “To stand up for those who don’t have a voice.”<br>Standing on a nearby snow covered sidewalk, amid a shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, health care worker Peter Prou, 33, of St. Paul, said he was outraged by the shooting and came to fight for justice. “They’re taking away all our rights and freedoms. They know it’s murder and they’re trying to cover it up,” he said of ICE, but added, “There’s strength in numbers. There’s more of us than them.”

* Our country hasn’t been perfect, but it has been self-correcting. It took time for us to acknowledge the unalienable rights of all races and sexes. We have stumbled, fought each other, and sometimes misused our military muscle. But, when we resorted to violence, it was usually to defend liberty at home and abroad. Now, we have stumbled again, installing leaders who don’t believe in the founding idea. Freedom threatens them, so they rule by fear. So far, neither our institutions nor our people have mobilized to correct this mistake. President Trump and his people are so emboldened that they don’t even bother to hide their ill intentions. They know that if they commit crimes on his behalf, he will pardon them.

* Trump attacks freedom of the press. Over the last year, his administration took more than $1 billion away from public broadcasting; launched investigations into NPR, PBS, ABC, NBC and CBS; and forced media organizations to pay $32 million to settle his lawsuits against them. He has taken 76 federal actions to restrict, punish and revoke journalists’ credentials. But Trump’s biggest use of federal force to intimidate and terrorize civil society is his deployment of immigration agents and military troops in U.S. cities run by Democrats. Federal agencies have deported more than 605,000 people over the last year. Trump promised to focus on immigrants convicted of crimes, but his agents have arrested productive and longstanding American residents. As of Nov. 30, nearly 74 percent of the detainees had no criminal convictions. During 2025, 32 people, including children, died while in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Many have been “disappeared” to other countries, some to prisons, and denied their constitutional rights to due process. During 2025, the administration stripped legal status from 1.6 million immigrants. Nearly 2 million immigrants “self-deported.”

* Last week, Americans watched on television as an armed immigration officer shot and killed a frightened mother of three, an American citizen, in Minneapolis. Without the benefit of an investigation, Trump, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other federal officials quickly went public to describe the woman as a rioter and “terrorist” who “weaponized her vehicle” against the officer, forcing him to defend himself.<br>The American people have also watched the U.S. military kill foreign nationals by simply blowing up 35 boats in the Caribbean, killing at least 115 passengers. The Trump administration claimed the boats were smuggling drugs into America but provided no evidence.<br>Then came the invasion of Venezuela to arrest its leader and bring him to the U.S. for trial. Trump openly admits he wants to seize the country’s oil reserves, the largest (and some of the dirtiest) in the world. In the style of Russia’s Vladimir Putin, he wants to turn America’s oil billionaires into oligarchs. Time will tell how the entrenched interests in Venezuela react, and whether the invasion escalates into America’s latest oil war.

* The big, macho men from ICE who are storming around American cities like Visigoths are a bunch of cowards.<br>They arm themselves as if they are battling ISIS terrorists in Iraq while the only threat they face is common American citizens with whistles and protest signs. They break into private homes without warrants, they gas school kids, they tackle women on the street, they smash into the cars of American citizens. And one of them summarily executed a mother of three children because -- well, because he could.<br>They think they are tough, but they are punks hiding behind masks. They are poorly-trained thugs dressed up like real soldiers who think they are living out a video game where they get points for assaulting anyone who gets in their way. They are the farthest thing from the real cops who police communities with restraint, discipline and a knowledge of the law.These mercenaries do not serve the country, they serve a regime that excuses their unjustified violence and lies about their lawless actions. President Donald Trump falsely alleges that Renee Good, the mother of three gunned down in Minneapolis by an ICE agent, was a “professional agitator” who showed “disrespect” for law enforcement. His toady press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who will say any despicable thing to please her boss, accused Good of being “a lunatic.” The Homeland Security boss, Kristi Noem, branded Good a “domestic terrorist.”<br>There is zero evidence of any of the Trump administration’s slander. Renee Good was, indeed, out on the street to monitor the actions of ICE, but, as anyone can see in the video taken seconds before she was murdered, she was smiling at the ICE agents and telling them she was not mad at them.

* Lawmakers from both parties and houses of Congress have agreed to provide about $653 million to fund Voice of America’s parent agency, rejecting President Donald Trump’s demand to defund the international broadcaster and shut it down. A bipartisan spending bill released Sunday would allocate $643 million for broadcasting from the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees VOA, plus nearly $10 million for capital improvements. That figure is down from the $867 million appropriated for the agency each of the past two years, but it’s more than four times the $153 million Trump requested that Congress provide to “support the orderly shutdown of USAGM operations.” The outlay is included in a broader bipartisan spending deal negotiated by House and Senate appropriators. The package still requires House and Senate approval before heading to Trump’s desk.<br>“We understand the realities of the appropriations process, but I am disappointed that Congress is proposing half a billion dollars more in funding than we requested,” Kari Lake, the deputy CEO installed by Trump to shut down the agency, wrote in a statement Monday. “While reductions from prior years are a step in the right direction, USAGM can still advance President Trump’s message and share America’s story globally without wasting so much taxpayer money.”

* The bipartisan commitment to funding USAGM reflects continued congressional support for America’s role in promoting the free flow of news and information abroad, a long-standing foundation of its soft power around the world. Congress’s funding proposal comes after a dire year for USAGM. Trump signed an executive order in March calling for the dismantlement of the government agency, which oversees Voice of America and funds nonprofit groups including Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Radio Free Asia. To carry out the order, Lake placed more than 1,300 Voice of America staffers on paid administrative leave — many of whom are still not working — and halted broadcasting operations the same month. It was the first time VOA went dark since it was first set up in 1942 to combat Nazi propaganda. In response, VOA’s director, Michael Abramowitz, and a separate group of USAGM staffers sued the Trump administration, arguing that its actions were illegal.<br>Lake, a former Arizona television anchor who lost high-profile races for governor and U.S. Senate in recent years, has defended the cuts and called for the agency’s eventual elimination. She told Congress in a June hearing that USAGM was “incompetent, corrupt, biased, and a threat to America’s national security and standing in the world.” She has also said USAGM is “not salvageable.”<br>The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

* The new bill allocates $199.5 million of the total appropriation to VOA and $138 million for USAGM’s operations. Additionally, nonprofit grantees will also be funded through this bill to the tune of $112.5 million for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, $69 million for Middle East Broadcasting Networks, $53.5 million for Radio Free Asia and $40.5 million for the Open Technology Fund. The Trump administration pushed to defund the nonprofit media outlets, but Lamberth has largely restored their funding in court after they all sued. Radio Free Asia previously said it was pausing operations but in recent months has resumed some publishing activities. “With new funding, if enacted, RFA anticipates ramping up additional news operations that have been paused in the Asia-Pacific region,” RFA spokesman Rohit Mahajan said in a statement. Sen. [[Brian Schatz]] (Hawaii), the top Democrat on the state and foreign operations subcommittee, applauded the bipartisan negotiation that led to the bill but expressed worry that it still represented a cut to government broadcasters. “While the bill ensures continued funding for our international broadcasting grantees,” he wrote in a statement, “it forces cuts at a time when they are trying to provide critical services in Ukraine, the Middle East, and across the Indo-Pacific.”<br>Schatz and his House counterpart, Rep. Lois Frankel (D-Florida), previously criticized the Trump administration’s “illegal gutting” of the agency. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) and Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Florida), the Senate and House appropriations subcommittee chairs, did not respond to requests for comment.

* The U.S. experienced negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in at least half a century as a result of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, according to a report released Tuesday by the Brookings Institution. Although the administration has undertaken aggressive removal efforts, the negative number is mostly due to a significant drop in entries into the U.S., the report said. "We estimate net flows of -295,000 to -10,000 for the year," the Brookings study stated. "Though a high degree of policy uncertainty remains, continued negative net migration for 2026 is also likely." The report attributed the shift to combination of the large drop in entries and an increase in enforcement activity leading to removals and voluntary departures. The Trump administration's suspension of many humanitarian programs -- including most refugee programs with the exception of those involving white South Africans -- and a decline in temporary visas also contributed to the negative net migration, the report said.<br>The report's authors estimate there were between 310,000 and 315,000 removals in 2025, a figure lower than what the administration has claimed. Department of Homeland Security officials claim that, so far, more than 600,000 people have been removed during the crackdown. "At 310,000 to 315,000, the 2025 removals are not much higher than the 2024 removals of around 285,000," the report states.

* Unlike in 2024, most removals in 2025 were initiated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection from the country's interior, the report said, as opposed to being initiated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement -- despite the actions of some ICE officers dominating many news headlines. A spokesperson with the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees CPB and ICE, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from ABC News. The report's authors also predicted removals will increase in 2026 with funding from President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which the report said will "likely allow for increased infrastructure and staffing to achieve a higher level of enforcement."<br>According to the report, authorities also predict the net migration loss will see certain sectors of the economy experience "unexpectedly weak economic activity," specifically businesses that serve affected immigrant populations. "The slowdown implies weaker employment, GDP, and consumer spending growth," the report states, adding that consumer spending is expected to fall by between $60 billion and $110 billion over 2025 and 2026.

* Several faculty groups have denounced the Trump administration’s efforts to obtain information about Jewish professors, staff and students at the [[University of Pennsylvania]] – including personal emails, phone numbers and home addresses – as government abuse with “ominous historical overtones”.<br>The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is demanding the university turn over names and personal information about Jewish members of the Penn community as part of the administration’s stated goal to combat antisemitism on campuses. But some Jewish faculty and staff have condemned the government’s demand as “a visceral threat to the safety of those who would find themselves identified because compiling and turning over to the government ‘lists of Jews’ conjures a terrifying history”, according to a press release put out by the groups’ lawyers.<br>The EEOC sued Penn in November over the university’s refusal to fully comply with its demands. On Tuesday, the American Association of University Professors’ national and Penn chapters, the university’s Jewish Law Students Association and its Association of Senior and Emeritus Faculty, and the American Academy of Jewish Research filed a motion in federal court to intervene in the case.<br>“These requests would require Penn to create and turn over a centralized registry of Jewish students, faculty, and staff – a profoundly invasive and dangerous demand that intrudes deeply into the freedoms of association, religion, speech, and privacy enshrined in the First Amendment,” the groups argued. “We are entering territory that should shock every single one of us,” said Norm Eisen, co-founder and executive chair of the Democracy Defenders Fund on a press call. The fund is representing the faculty groups along with the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania and the firm Hangley Aronchick Segal Pudlin and Schiller. “That kind of information – however purportedly benign the excuses given for it – can be put to the most dangerous misuse. This is an abuse of government power that drags us back to some of the darkest chapters in our history.”<br>The EEOC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

* The University of Pennsylvania was among dozens of US universities to come under federal investigation over alleged antisemitism in the aftermath of the 7 October 2023 Hamas attacks and Israel’s subsequent war in Gaza. In response, the university established a taskforce to study antisemitism, implemented a series of measures and shared hundreds of pages of documents to comply with government demands.<br>But the university refused to comply with the EEOC’s July subpoena for personal information of Jewish faculty, students and staff, or those affiliated with Jewish organizations who had not given their consent, as well as the names of individuals who had participated in confidential listening sessions or received a survey by the university’s antisemitism taskforce. A university spokesperson said in November that “violating their privacy and trust is antithetical to ensuring Penn’s Jewish community feels protected and safe”. Instead, the university offered to inform all its employees of the EEOC investigation, inviting those interested to contact the agency directly.<br>But that was not enough for the commission, which brought the university to court to seek to enforce the subpoena.<br>“The EEOC remains steadfast in its commitment to combatting workplace antisemitism and seeks to identify employees who may have experienced antisemitic harassment. Unfortunately, the employer continues to refuse to identify members of its workforce who may have been subjected to this unlawful conduct,” the EEOC chair, Andrea Lucas, said in a statement at the time. “An employer’s obstruction of efforts to identify witnesses and victims undermines the EEOC’s ability to investigate harassment.”

* The EEOC request prompted widespread alarm and condemnation among Jewish faculty, and earned rebukes from the university’s Hillel and other Jewish groups. Steven Weitzman, a professor with Penn’s religious studies department who also served on the university’s antisemitism taskforce, said that the mere request for such lists “instills a sense of vulnerability among Jews” and that the government cannot guarantee that the information it collects won’t fall “into the wrong hands or have unintended consequences”. “Part of what sets off alarm bells for people like me is a history of people using Jewish lists against Jews,” he said . “The Nazi campaign against Jews depended on institutions like universities handing over information about their Jewish members to the authorities.” “As Jewish study scholars, we know well the dangers of collecting such information,” said Beth Wenger, who teaches Jewish history at Penn. It’s not the first time the EEOC’s efforts to fight antisemitism have caused alarm among Jewish faculty. Last spring, the commission texted the personal phones of employees of Barnard College, the women’s school affiliated with Columbia University, linking to a survey that asked respondents whether they identified as Jewish or Israeli.

* The Trump administration still hasn't released all of the Epstein files as required by law, and is instead exploring more kinetic ways to distract public attention from this uncomfortable fact, sources confirmed today. “And we all know the best way to divert attention from domestic problems is to bomb people with funny-sounding names overseas,” said a senior White House official. “So we’ve put together a target list of countries with weak militaries, weird names — or both — that we can hit with our few remaining Tomahawks to make sure the Big Man’s name doesn’t pop up in compromising positions in the Epstein documents.”<br>''Duffel Blog'' obtained the target list for Operation PEDO PALADIN, a contingency plan officials say has been sitting in a desk drawer labeled ‘Break Glass If Accountability Appears.’ According to sources, the president doesn’t particularly care which country gets hit first, largely because he can’t find any of them on a map anyway.

* Experts sounded a dire alarm after the Trump administration pulled the plug on nearly $2 billion in substance abuse and mental health funding, leaving thousands of providers scrambling and patients in a lurch. Up to 2,800 grantees through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration received termination letters immediately — wiping out about 26% of the agency's entire budget with zero warning, The Guardian reported Wednesday. “It feels like Armageddon for everyone who’s on the frontlines of the addiction and mental health space,” Ryan Hampton, founder of Mobilize Recovery, a national advocacy organization for people in and seeking recovery, told the outlet. “The scope of care that’s disrupted by these grants is catastrophic. Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people will die.”

* Providers awoke to devastation that they'd be forced to conduct staff layoffs, program shutdowns, and that services would be halted immediately. The cuts axe overdose prevention, naloxone distribution, school mental health support, and help for pregnant women struggling with substance abuse. “Overnight, our entire backbone and infrastructure of addiction and mental health in this country flipped up on its head,” Hampton said. “These grants are lifesaving tools that honestly are a good reason why we have started to see a reversal in trends of drug overdoses in this country.” The move comes as overdose deaths finally dropped 27% in 2024 after two decades of climbing rates. "All of us are in a state of complete and utter shock that the administration would take such a reckless action," Hampton said. Legal challenges loom, but Hampton warned the damage is happening now. "People will die. People will die."

* The Environmental Protection Agency is taking a major step toward changing its math to favor polluters over people: It’s going to stop tallying up the dollar value of lives saved and hospital visits avoided by air pollution regulations. Instead, the agency will consider the effects of regulations without attaching a price tag to human life. In particular, the EPA is changing how it conducts the cost-benefit analysis of regulations for two major pollutants, fine particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns — usually referred to as PM2.5 — and ozone. The change was buried in a document published this month analyzing the economic impacts of final pollution regulations for power plants, arguing that the way the EPA historically calculated the economic benefits of regulations had too much uncertainty and gave people “a false sense of precision.” So to fix this, the EPA will stop tabulating the benefits altogether “until the Agency is confident enough in the modeling to properly monetize those impacts.” The news was first reported by the New York Times. On X, EPA administrator Lee Zeldin pushed back on the reporting, calling it “another dishonest, fake news claim” and that the agency is still considering lives saved when setting pollution limits.

* I spoke with several experts, including former EPA officials, and in fact, the change could lead to worsening air quality and harm public health. The EPA exists to regulate pollution that harms people, and when it comes to things like ozone and tiny particles, there is robust evidence of the damage they can do, contributing to heart attacks and asthma attacks. Measured over populations, air pollution takes years off of people’s lives. Every year in the United States alone, air pollution pushes 135,000 people into early graves. “There is a lot of science that shows very clearly that being exposed to increasing levels of PM2.5 has significant health impacts,” said Janet McCabe, who served as the EPA’s deputy administrator under President Joe Biden.

* Anytime the EPA wants to issue a new regulation — say, revising how much mercury a power plant is allowed to emit — it looks at both the costs and the benefits before finalizing the rule. The EPA adds up how much companies would likely have to spend on things like installing upgraded scrubbers in smokestacks. Then the agency estimates the economic benefit of imposing the regulation, such as more days with cleaner air or fewer workers calling out sick. The biggest benefits usually come from improving health through things like avoiding hospital visits and reducing early deaths. There is some fuzziness in the numbers on both sides of the ledger though. If a bunch of companies turn to a handful of suppliers for pollution control equipment, that could drive up compliance costs. And how exactly do you price a hypothetical emergency room trip that didn’t happen? “In my experience at EPA, there’s never a perfect estimate of costs or benefits,” McCabe said. Yet even with imperfect calculations, regulators could get a decent sense of whether the juice was worth the squeeze when it comes to a new pollution standard, and the public would get a window into how the decision was made.<br>Under the Biden administration, the EPA found that enforcing the more stringent PM2.5 regulations it issued in 2024 would add up to $46 billion in health benefits by 2032, vastly more than the cost of complying with the rule. The EPA now effectively wants to put receipts from the benefits side of the ledger through the shredder.

* This change in math is part of a broader pattern at the EPA — and across the federal government — of just measuring and counting fewer things under the second Trump Administration. The EPA has already closed its Office of Research and Development, which was meant to provide the scientific basis for environmental regulations, like tracking the effects of toxic chemicals on the human body. With less data on science and economics, agencies like the EPA have less accountability for their actions as they face more pressure from the White House to cut regulations and craft policies benefiting politically favored industries. It also sets the stage for taking the teeth out of other regulations, like the Clean Air Act. The EPA has already dismantled its legal foundation for addressing climate change.<br>Joseph Goffman, who served as assistant administrator of the EPA’s air and radiation office under Biden, said this change in how the EPA calculates health benefits is part of a broader campaign against air pollution regulations. “It really illustrates what the ulterior motive is and that is to mute or mask the true impact of [particulate matter] exposure and the huge benefits that flow from reducing it,” Goffman said. “Suddenly deciding that you can’t ascribe a dollar value to reducing PM really is convenient to the point of being instrumental to Zeldin’s efforts to weaken PM standards.”<br>If the EPA never comes up with a new way to monetize the health benefits of regulations, it’s likely that improvements in air quality will stall, and air pollution could get worse. “One would anticipate that we could see PM 2.5 levels rising across the country,” Hasenkopf said.

* Jacqueline Smith, the outlet's ombudsman, said Stars and Stripes reports on matters important to service members and their families — not just weapons systems or war strategy — and she's detected nothing “woke” about its reporting. “I think it's very important that Stars and Stripes maintains its editorial independence, which is the basis of its credibility,” Smith said. A longtime newspaper editor in Connecticut, Smith's role was created by Congress three decades ago and she reports to the House Armed Services Committee. It's the latest move by the Trump administration to impose restrictions on journalists. Most reporters from legacy news outlets have left the Pentagon rather than to agree to new rules imposed by Hegseth that they feel would give him too much control over what they report and write.

* Trump has also sought to shut down government-funded outlets like Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty that report independent news about the world in countries overseas. Also this week, the administration raided the home of a ''Washington Post'' journalist as part of an investigation into a contractor accused of stealing government secrets, a move many journalists interpreted as a form of intimidation. ''The Post'' reported that applicants to ''Stars and Stripes'' were being asked how they would advance Trump's executive orders and policy priorities in the role. They were asked to identify one or two orders or initiatives that were significant to them. That raised questions about whether it was appropriate for a journalist to be given what is, in effect, a loyalty test. Smith said it was the government's Office of Personnel Management — not the newspaper — that was responsible for the question on job applications and said it was consistent with what was being asked of applicants for other government jobs. But she said it was not something that should be asked of journalists. “The loyalty is to the truth, not the administration,” she said.

"A conflict or attempted annexation of the territory of a NATO member by another Nato member would be the end of the world as we know it - and which for many years guaranteed our security," he told a press conference. Russia's embassy in Belgium meanwhile expressed "serious concern" at what was unfolding in the Arctic, accusing NATO of building up a military presence there "under the false pretext of a growing threat from Moscow and Beijing". However, the European NATO deployment consists of only a few dozen personnel as part of Danish-led joint exercises called Operation Arctic Endurance. While heavy in symbolism, it was not immediately clear how long they would stay.<br>Germany was sending an A400M transport plane to Nuuk on Thursday with a contingent of 13 soldiers, although officials said they would stay in Greenland only until Saturday. Danish defence officials said they had decided with the government of Greenland that there would be an increased military presence around Greenland in the coming period to bolster Nato's "footprint in the Arctic for the benefit of both European and transatlantic security".

* The US already has a military base in Greenland, currently staffed by up to 150 people, and has the option of bringing in far greater numbers under existing agreements with Copenhagen. But the Danish-led initiative is seen as signalling to the Trump administration that its European allies also have a stake in security in the Arctic and North Atlantic. Sweden's prime minister said Swedish army officers had been sent to Nuuk on Wednesday. Two Norwegians and one British military officer were also being sent. Downing Street said the UK shared President Trump's concern about "the security of the High North", and said the deployment involved "stepping up with stronger exercising, to deter the Russian aggression and the Chinese activity." Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Thursday that defence and protection of Greenland was a common concern for the entire NATO alliance.

* Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said the intention was to have a military presence "in rotation", with the aim of having a more permanent military presence on the island with foreign allies taking part in exercise and training activities. Copenhagen has disputed Trump's justification for wanting to control Greenland. Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said on Wednesday there was no "instant threat" from China or Russia that Denmark and Greenland could not accommodate, although he shared American security concerns to some extent. A Democratic-led US delegation is due to visit Denmark on Friday for talks with Danish MPs. Rasmussen spoke alongside Greenland's foreign minister after talks with US Vice-President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The Danish diplomat said the talks were "frank but constructive". He described a "fundamental disagreement" between the two sides and later criticised Trump's bid to buy Greenland.<br>"The president's ambition is on the table," the Danish diplomat told Fox News. "Of course we have our red lines. This is 2026, you trade with people but you don't trade people." Greenland's Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, said this week that the territory was in the midst of a geopolitical crisis, and that if his people were asked to make a choice they would choose Denmark over the US. "Greenland does not want to be owned by the United States. Greenland does not want to be governed by the United States. Greenland does not want to be part of the United States," he stressed.

* '''Trump and his minions are energetically closing the last exit built into the system that prevents absolute dictatorship.''' They intend to orchestrate the sham elections familiar in all dictatorships, or abolish them. They are not joking. This will be the death blow to the American experiment. There will be no going back. We will become a police state. Our freedoms, already under heavy assault, will be extinguished. At that point, only mass mobilizations and strikes will thwart the solidification of the dictatorship. And such actions, as we see in Minneapolis, will be greeted with lethal state repression.

* Thousands took to the streets in subzero temperatures Friday afternoon to protest the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota. Demonstrators wore snowboots and ski goggles, passed around handwarmers and carried signs taped to hockey sticks. Protesters’s eyelashes and beards froze while they chanted “ICE out” and “Minnesota nice, but F— ICE” during a two-hour march through downtown Minneapolis. The march was part of a day of events that encouraged Minnesotans to boycott school, work and shopping in protest of the surge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Twin Cities. ICE agents have been deployed en masse in Minnesota, in what the Department of Homeland Security has described as the largest operation in its history. The enforcement efforts followed a welfare-fraud scandal that put the state’s Somali community into the national spotlight.

* Vice President JD Vance visited Minneapolis on Thursday to urge local officials in the left-leaning city to cooperate with federal authorities to quell what he called “chaos.” The administration has blamed state and local officials for some of the tension. White House officials have denigrated the state’s existing policies and laws that limit cooperation with civil immigration enforcement, including refusing to house ICE detainees in local jails in many situations.<br>During demonstrations in Minneapolis on Friday, roughly 100 clergy members were arrested at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Mostly Christian clergy and faith leaders rallied at the airport, where they claimed planes were flying detained migrants out of the state as part of ICE’s “Operation Metro Surge,” according to Justin Lind-Ayres, a Lutheran pastor in Minneapolis. The MSP Airport Police Department confirmed officers made arrests, but didn’t immediately confirm how many. Protesters at the airport, some wearing clerical stoles draped over their shoulders, knelt while singing hymns and reciting the Lord’s Prayer in frigid conditions that dipped to a low of minus-20 degrees Fahrenheit on Friday, before being handcuffed and led away, video showed.

* Protesters at the downtown march said the huge crowds in harsh weather showed Minnesotans are serious about their wishes for the current ICE operation, and the use of force tactics the officers are employing, to end. “We’re not afraid of ICE, we’re not going to back down. We’re strong, we’re here for our neighbors, we’re here for our community,” said Brianna Verbout, 26, a Minneapolis resident. “Imagine how many people would be out here if it wasn’t negative 20.” “Who cares if you’re cold? We’re used to being cold,” Cindy Boggs, a retired church worker who has lived in Minnesota for the past 50 years, said. “We just gotta stand up and keep with it. I can’t take the cruelty that’s happening to people.”<br>Homeland Security has defended its tactics and maintained it needs to detain immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. Mass immigration enforcement was a key promise of President Trump’s campaign coming into his second term, and officials have expanded the role of agencies like U.S. Customs and Border Protection into the interior to assist with it.

* The free world exhaled on Wednesday when President Trump retreated from his administration’s threat to invade Greenland. That relief, however, masks the damage that Mr. Trump has done to America this week. Mr. Trump’s apologists once dismissed his bullying of Greenland as an attempt at humor. Instead, it has been something far darker. His immoral threats against a loyal NATO ally have escalated a crisis in U.S.-European relations, weakened one of history’s most successful alliances and hurt American interests in tangible ways.

* In the second Trump administration, immigration policy is made with big round numbers. There’s a formula: First the White House sets an ambitious goal—1 million deportations a year, 3,000 immigration arrests a day. Then it presses the federal workforce to meet the target. Last year, Trump officials pledged to double staffing at ICE by adding 10,000 new deportation officers by January 2026. Stephen Miller treated the recruitment drive as a priority on par with the deportation push, demanding daily updates on the pace of hiring. Immigration and Customs Enforcement held job expos in multiple cities and dangled $50,000 bonuses, student-loan forgiveness, and other perks before potential recruits.<br>Just after New Year’s Day, the Department of Homeland Security declared victory, celebrating an ICE hiring spree that “shattered expectations” and achieved a “120% Manpower Increase.” DHS said it received more than 220,000 applications (many candidates applied for three or four different jobs) and signed up 12,000 new officers, agents, and legal staff in about four months. No federal law-enforcement agency has ever expanded this fast.

* ICE veterans I’ve spoken with have concerns about the qualifications and aptitude of their new colleagues, especially those with little or no previous law-enforcement experience. Some academy classes have had dropout rates near 50 percent because so many failed the physical-fitness requirements. The Trump administration slashed the length of the training course from about five months to 47 days last summer—because Trump is the 47th president, three officials told me at the time—then cut it further. Now it’s 42 days.

* The administration also wants more ICE officers on the streets. Trump officials have brought in Border Patrol agents to act as reinforcements in cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and now Minneapolis. Trump’s rolling campaign has generally targeted one location at a time, but the new hiring surge will give the administration enough personnel to target multiple cities at once. Trump officials say they are filling the jobs by hiring experienced law-enforcement officers from other federal agencies or state and local police departments. Many of the new hires are anxious about their career prospects at ICE once the burst of onetime funding runs out, officials at ICE and DHS told me, especially if Democrats take control of Congress.<br>One ICE official I spoke with told me that some of the new hires, especially rehired retirees, are having second thoughts. Hundreds of the returning officers have been ordered to Minnesota, two officials said, where the administration is conducting the largest-ever DHS crackdown. Some officers have been so cold and miserable that they’ve already quit, and ICE officials have held calls to figure out how to deal with the sudden resignations.<br>Returning officers who have come back from retirement are finding themselves in unfamiliar roles. They spent much of their careers trying to conduct low-key “targeted enforcement” operations in which they planned arrests in advance and sought to take suspects into custody in the safest and least dramatic way possible. Now they’re out in the streets wearing masks, with protesters yelling at them and video cameras rolling. ICE has changed, and the job isn’t the same.

* Most of the federal government could shut down at the end of the week. But that likely wouldn’t halt aggressive ICE and border patrol operations in Minneapolis and other parts of the country. Democrats are up in arms after Border Patrol agents fatally shot Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse and U.S. citizen, in Minneapolis over the weekend. That came after an ICE officer shot and killed Renee Good, another Minneapolis resident and citizen, in her car earlier this month.<br>Under enormous pressure from the base, Senate Democrats have vowed to block a sweeping government funding bill unless significant restrictions are imposed on the Trump administration's immigration enforcement operations.<br>With Republicans plowing ahead with a vote on the House-passed $1.2 trillion funding package later this week, a partial shutdown beginning Saturday now seems increasingly likely. Money is set to run out for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees ICE, and many other critical agencies late Friday night.

* Yet, even if Democrats shut down the government, ICE operations aren't likely to be hindered in any meaningful way. Under DHS's shutdown plan, a GOP leadership source said, ICE employees would be considered "excepted" workers and would be required to continue showing up to work, though they, like other workers, would not get paid. On top of that, even in a shutdown, ICE would continue to have ample funding since the agency received $75 billion of additional money for detention and enforcement from Trump’s “big, beautiful bill" last year, the GOP source noted.

* If the government funding lapses at the end of the week, it would mark the second federal shutdown in four months during Trump's second term in office. Senate Democrats blocked a funding bill last fall, demanding that the GOP include an extension to expiring Obamacare tax credits. That shut the government down for 43 days — the longest shutdown in U.S. history. Eight Democrats ultimately caved, voting with Republicans to reopen the government without a deal on the health care subsidies. Polling showed Republicans shouldering more blame for the shutdown than Democrats.

* Nearly a year ago, the Education Department sent universities and K-12 school districts scrambling with a sweeping but vague directive. The “Dear Colleague” letter said schools may be in violation of federal law if they consider race in virtually any way — hiring, discipline policy, scholarships and programming. After a lawsuit and a defeat in court, however, the Trump administration says it is dropping the matter entirely. That means an August federal court order blocking the “Dear Colleague” letter will stand. The Trump administration had also demanded that schools certify that they are in compliance with the letter, and that demand is now dead, too.<br>Still, it is unclear how significant the impact will be. The Trump administration, which made sweeping changes to education over its first year, can still work to impose its view of the law on schools through enforcement actions and other pressure. For instance, in July, the Justice Department published a memo that included many of the same ideas that were in the Education Department’s letter. Further, many schools have already changed their diversity, equity and inclusion policies, wary of running afoul of the administration’s anti-DEI stance.

* Many schools may continue to comply with the anti-DEI directive in an effort to stave off attention from the administration, said Frederick Hess, director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. “One of the things we have seen is how reluctant institutional leaders are to get crosswise with the federal government, whether or not it’s clearly aligned with the law,” he said.<br>Either way, Hess said he was pleased that the February letter is no longer in force. That’s because he does not think those types of guidance documents should be used to make policy — something that both Democratic and Republican administrations have done in the past. “Dear Colleague letters have become a blunt instrument to move thousands of postsecondary institutions or 10,000-plus school districts in one direction or another, and I don’t think that’s an appropriate use of them,” he said. “I don’t think that’s good for anybody.”

* Have you ever disliked the outcome of something? Don’t you wish you could change it? Of course, you can’t. The lesson has been drilled into us since childhood: You get what you get, and you don’t get upset. Unfortunately, it appears that Donald Trump and the Republican Party never received that helpful memo. Trump constantly complains about the “stolen” 2020 election to this day, even though it was quite fair. Like a child throwing a temper tantrum, he can’t resist bringing it up. But Trump’s whims are far more dangerous than child’s play, because he just might try to destroy the democratic experiment while he’s whining – and string Republicans along with him.<br>This past week, on a podcast with rightwing personality Dan Bongino, Trump called for the federal government to “nationalize” elections in several Democratic strongholds. He later claimed, “Look at some of the places – that horrible corruption on elections – and the federal government should not allow that.” Regardless of Trump’s fantasies about rigged elections, the Constitution is clear: administering elections is a power given to the states, and the federal government cannot take over voting.

* The Republican Party, as ever, seems willing to dance for their ruler. In Congress, Republicans are busy sating Trump’s desire to shift how elections are run. As I’m writing this column, the SAVE America Act is coming up for a vote in the U.S. House. This act would make it significantly harder to vote, making potential voters explicitly prove their citizenship before they cast their ballots. On the surface, this might not seem like a bad idea. Why not ensure our elections are safe and secure? The bill, however, ignores that many Americans don’t carry proof of citizenship on them, such as a passport or birth certificate. It also solves a nonexistent problem; despite false claims of mass illegal voting, it is extremely rare for noncitizens to vote.<br>So then why try to pass this bill? The answer is, Republicans don’t actually want to stop voter fraud. They want to stop people from casting their ballots. They want voter suppression.

* All of this attempted voter suppression is clearly aimed at preventing a Republican loss in the midterms and beyond. Trump has already laid the groundwork by continuing to protest the 2020 election results, priming his supporters to be concerned about so-called “election integrity.” Regardless of whether bills like the SAVE America Act end up getting passed, we must still be vigilant about how our rights can be restricted. Regardless of whether ICE is deployed to polling stations or not, we must remember that the threat was made. And regardless of whether Trump does attempt to nationalize elections, we know the effort to suppress voting is born out of the desire to subvert democracy and cheat the system.

* Donald Trump has never been one to side with science, especially climate science. He has often spread false claims about climate change being some sort of “hoax” or “scam.” You can imagine, then, how he feels about the Environmental Protection Agency, which is supposed to help counteract the effects of climate change and – as the name suggests – keep the environment healthy. A major pillar of the EPA’s efforts pre-Trump was the 2009 “endangerment finding,” which established the government position that greenhouse gases were detrimental to human health. However, the Trump administration announced it was formally revoking the EPA’s endangerment finding last week, beginning the supposed “single largest deregulatory action in U.S. history.” This revocation goes against established fact in order to service the interests of big business and the MAGA movement’s obsession with climate change denial. It leaves the EPA adrift and powerless, unable to address the ongoing tide of global warming.
** Patrick Minnerly, [https://dailycampus.com/2026/02/19/patricks-politics-without-climate-regulations-the-epa-protects-nothing/"Without climate regulations, the EPA protects nothing "], ''The Daily Campus'', 19 February 2026
* The endangerment finding was built on a 2007 Supreme Court case, ''Massachusetts v. EPA'', which determined that the EPA did have the authority under the 1970 Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gases because of their threat to public health. This decision allowed the EPA to carry out regulatory policies to restrict emissions of these harmful gases. <br>Regulations are particularly important for transportation, which represents the largest share – 28% – of greenhouse gases released by the U.S. each year. The EPA’s own website says as much, which is deeply ironic given the Trump administration’s new policy eliminates all federal regulations on greenhouse gas emissions for vehicles and engines from 2012 onwards. These regulations help prevent companies from simply having their fossil fuel output run rampant. Eliminating the regulations would mean America is now significantly out of step with other industrialized countries, which are busy expanding their own environmental protections and renewable energy sources. Trump’s mission of deregulation represents a major step backwards, and it’s about to cast aside restrictions in an area where the U.S. is already failing to protect the environment.<br>Essentially, the Trump administration’s main argument for revoking the endangerment finding is that American taxpayers will save $1.3 trillion due to deregulation. Since the idea of cost is apparently so important to Trump, according to a federal report from 2023, climate change is costing the U.S. $150 billion per year. That is a conservative estimate that only factors in direct damages, and the number will only grow larger as temperatures and sea levels rise, setting up more frequent and more destructive extreme weather events.

* Yet the Trump administration ignores that cost is a highly suspect way to measure the impacts of climate change in the first place. The damage of global warming is difficult to quantify, but we know its effects will significantly affect human life for the worse. As the Earth gets hotter and more inhospitable, we are barreling towards the point of no return when our effects on the climate cannot be stopped, and that future cannot be quantified in numbers. It can only be quantified in the suffering that will result. People will have to uproot their entire lives to deal with ever-more frequent disasters and the long-term effects of global heating, especially in coastal areas where seas will rise. The country of Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is already trying to upload a digital copy of itself in the face of being swallowed by the rising ocean. The potential loss of an entire nation cannot be quantified, and neither can many of climate change’s adverse effects.

* At the heart of the Trump administration’s decision is catering to the MAGA base. For years, Trump and the rightwing media apparatus have primed Republicans to be very skeptical of climate change, or at least deny it is a pressing issue. According to surveys from Pew Research Center, just 12% of Republicans think dealing with climate change should be a top priority. Deregulation has also long been a crucial part of the Republican agenda – the Reaganite principle of trickle-down economics rests partly on deregulation of businesses. In addition, the current EPA administrator, Lee Zeldin, formerly served as a Republican U.S. House member and was previously most well-known as a Trump sycophant. He was specifically selected as a fully political, rightwing appointee.

* Trump’s history of spreading conspiracy theories and falsehoods about climate change has served to muddy the waters with his base about whether the climate crisis is indeed real. Global heating has been settled science for years, but Republicans have grown more indifferent towards tackling it in recent years. Since Trump first took power after winning the 2016 election, ignoring climate change has become a political cudgel, wielded against the idea of “wokeness.” All of this means gutting the EPA’s authority doesn’t hold much meaning with Republicans, but it should. The climate crisis affects both Democrats and Republicans, independents and radicals. It is a crisis for humanity itself. <br>Humanity, however, is not the Trump administration’s concern. The EPA, instead of protecting the environment and public health, is now beholden to the interests of fossil fuel corporations and purely political considerations. Without regulations, the EPA will work to increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, not decrease them. The agency has corrupted its mission, because without the endangerment finding, it is useless. And useless is just how Trump wants it.

* The second Trump administration presented near-constant challenges for the Supreme Court and its conservative majority. During the 2024 campaign, Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that he would be a dictator on "day one." Like earlier, Trump promises to ban all Muslims or force Mexico to pay for a border wall, the assertion of dictatorial ambitions served Trump's purposes in two ways: voters who wanted a president to rule with a strong hand accepted the comment approvingly, while others waved it off as a show of bombast. Trump didn't talk like a politician, which was good, but it meant you couldn't take everything he said literally.
** Peter S. Canellos, ''Revenge for the Sixties: Samuel Alito and the Triumph of the Conservative Legal Movement'' (2026), New York: Simon & Schuster first hardcover edition, p. 242
* The dictator comment, however, presaged a spate of unusually aggressive actions that threatened to upend the state of the law. The included the hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs enacted and retracted at Trump's whims, an attempt to deport Venezuelans without a hearing, an executive order ending birthright citizenship, several commands to overrule state governors in deploying the National Guard in American cities, efforts to unilaterally fire board members of the Federal Reserve and other independent agencies, the dismantling of agencies fully funded by Congress, demands that the Justice Department investigate the president's critics, military attacks on boats suspected of carrying illegal drugs, and many more.<br>Tasked with determining the legality of these largely unprecedented moves, district court judges issued injunctions at a frenzied pace. Circuit courts rushed to review the district courts. And the Supreme Court often weighed in on an emergency basis. Such a situation presented a challenge to the justices' stamina but also their impartiality. Their decisions would set parameters for presidential power for generations. It would be just as dangerous for them to curtail an important presidential power over Trump's misuse of it as it would be to extend greater presidential discretion in sympathy for Trump's positions.
** Peter S. Canellos, ''Revenge for the Sixties'' (2026), New York: Simon & Schuster first hardcover edition, p. 242-243
* Throughout the summer and fall, as the court considered emergency injunctions on numerous presidential orders, Alito was a consistent and often vociferous Trump supporter. While Trump's own appointees- Barrett, Gorsuch, and Kavenaugh- appeared willing at times to rein in the president, Alito and Thomas did not. When the court agreed to keep in place a lower court order blocking Trump from withholding the $2 billion in funds owed to USAID contractors whose work was already completed, Alito was outraged.<br>"Today, the Court makes a most unfortunate misstep that rewards an act of judicial hubris and imposes a $2 billion penalty on American taxpayers," he wrote in dissent.
** Peter S. Canellos, ''Revenge for the Sixties: Samuel Alito and the Triumph of the Conservative Legal Movement'' (2026), New York: Simon & Schuster first hardcover edition, p. 243
* By the time of the tarriffs case, the conservative legal movement had come into sharper focus: it was not an offshoot of MAGA, no matter how much Trump wanted it to be. It had a power over MAGA that liberalism- their common enemy- did not. It was, in fact, the only force strong enough to restore the legal norms violated by Trump, stopping MAGA in its tracks. But it was not clear if it would do so.<br>The tension was palpable in November 2025, when the Federalist Society gathered in Washington for its first National Lawyers Convention of the second Trump administration. The awkwardness was felt more in the audience than on stage. In its programming, the society avoided the big points of contention- tariffs, extra-legal killings, birthright citizenship, sharp deviations from Justice Department procedures allowing Trump to assume the role of prosecutor-in-chief. When such issues came up, it was mostly in controlled settings, and the responses were political, not legal.
** Peter S. Canellos, ''Revenge for the Sixties'' (2026), New York: Simon & Schuster first hardcover edition, p. 243-244
* MAGA was heavily blue collar; FedSoc was strictly white collar. MAGA was strongest in the South, Midwest, and mountain states; FedSoc leaders were disproportionately from the Northeast or elite Northeastern institutions. MAGA drew its greatest support from people with the least education; FedSoc members were among the highest-educated Americans. And now, with the unifying priorities of abortion and affirmative action largely off the table, the Scotch tape that held the two groups together was starting to peel off.<br>Former Fourth Circuit Judge J. Michael Luttig, once the preferred choice among conservatives for the Supreme Court seat eventually occupied by Alito, was only the most outspoken of right-leaning professors and retired jurists to raise questions about Trump's upending of laws. "The MAGA movement is a radical movement, and I would not even apply the label of conservative to it," Luttig said. "It is anti-law of the United States and anti-rule of law in the United States."

And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo’s Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church!

* President Donald Trump’s political brand is based on convincing unexceptional people that they are better than they actually are, but one critic says he's doing so at the expense of exceptional people who happen to belong to marginalized communities. “Donald Trump is literally hypnotizing mediocre people into thinking that they are meritocratic geniuses, while telling highly accomplished Black, Brown, and Asian people that they are nothing — that everything they have was given to them by those same mediocre people,” liberal commentator Joy-Ann Reid said on Tuesday in an episode of “The Left Hook with Wajahat Ali and Joy-Ann Reid.” The pundit elaborated that Trump and his administration promote the idea that white men do not need to prove their merit because, by virtue of being white men, they are already exceptional.<br>“They're literally seeing a deficit of white men even trying to go to college now, because they're being told: you don't have to do anything, you just have to be,” Reid said. “You just have to exist as a white man and you're qualified to do anything. You can be a neurosurgeon — just walk in there, use your brilliant European brain, and start operating on people. You're fine. You don't need to know anything. But Black people, according to the late Charlie Kirk, can't even be a pilot — even after going to school to become one. If they're sitting behind the wheel of a Cessna, the claim is they don't know how to do it, that they were just pulled off the street and thrown into the chair.”

* Not only do these arguments hurt ordinary people by encouraging discrimination, Reid argued; they also hurt the American economy and do damage to the government when second-rate leaders inevitably stumble at their jobs. “So they're telling women and people of color: you're not qualified to do anything. But white men are being told: you're qualified to do everything," Reid said. "So you're having people walk into positions they're not ready for. This is Donald Trump doing exactly what they claimed affirmative action did to Black students — setting them up to fail by placing unqualified people in positions beyond their preparation. That was their theory. And that's literally what's happening to these mediocre white guys now.”<br>Reid offered up the Trump administration as the clearest example. “RFK Jr. cannot help but fail because he's not qualified for the job,” Reid said. “Pete Hegseth cannot do anything but look like an idiot because he's not qualified for the job. When you're not seeking the most qualified people, you're setting all of these men up to fail — including the President of the United States.”

* Praising "the people" is patriotic propaganda with a long history in America that feels good, but it's wrong, even dangerous. Joe Biden hoped the 2024 election would be a trial of sorts of a treasonous former president. He hoped that his administration would not have to take the risk of criminally prosecuting him. Look where that got us. The lesson should be to never ask "the people" to make sound moral judgments. They won't do it. Instead, they will give a traitor a second chance, then complain about the ruinous consequences of giving it to him.

* Donald Trump, the Republicans and their rightwing allies in the courts have rigged the system, through white-power gerrymandering, so that being a monumentally unpopular party might no longer be an impediment to rule. (Ordinary people could face food shortages, for God's sake, while Trump shrugs.) The Democrats cannot hope that "the people" can overcome a rigged system, because "the people" cannot overcome one. Indeed, they have proven capable of making things worse. Democrats like Virginia's Scott Surovell fear being too extreme. My hope is in Democrats who realize they haven't been extreme enough.

* President Trump has been remarkably consistent about one issue: He detests non-white immigrants.<br>“They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” he declared in December 2023. ”Not just in South America,” but “from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.” He also falsely implied that most immigrants are violent criminals and murderers, calling them “not human” and “animals.”<br>And throughout his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump promised “the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.”<br>The administration has aggressively pursued that agenda. At the beginning of the year, the Department of Homeland Security celebrated 2025 as a year in which the southern border was closed, 675,000 “illegal aliens” were deported, 2.2 million more “self-deported” and travel bans, suspension of refugee programs and restrictions on green cards, work permits, family-based immigration and visas kept countless others from entering the country. Although its numbers were grossly inflated, the department promised that 2026 would be “another historic record-breaking year.”

* '''On May 22, the Trump administration required immigrants seeking green cards to apply from their home countries. The new rule affects hundreds of thousands of individuals who have already been vetted and are living in the U.S. on temporary visas. This anti-immigrant crusade is based on stereotypes, fearmongering and lies.'''<br>The reality is that immigrants care for children and the elderly, build homes, start companies, and help drive scientific innovation. Immigrants commit violent crimes at far lower rates than native-born Americans. And non-citizen immigrants consume less than half the means-tested welfare and entitlement benefits taken by native-born recipients. As the libertarian Cato Institute notes, “the typical lifetime abuser of welfare was born in this country.”<br>In 2022, immigrants paid $59.4 billion in federal taxes, $13.6 billion in state and local taxes, and contributed billions more to Social Security, Medicare and unemployment insurance — programs from which they are largely excluded.<br>Most importantly, immigrants are indispensable to the U.S. economy. Roughly 30 million foreign-born workers, documented and undocumented, provide almost 20 percent of the labor force in the U.S. Last year saw the first instance of negative net migration in at least 50 years. The decline will exacerbate labor shortages in important industries and slow economic growth.

Altschuler, [https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/opinion-as-trump-ramps-up-deportations-remember-we-all-benefit-from-immigration/ar-AA24tHrt?ocid=msedgntp&pc=NMTS&cvid=6a1ce12c0d1d4f83bf3d891960a6a27c&ei=19/"Opinion: As Trump ramps up deportations, remember we all benefit from immigration"], ''The Hill'', 31 May 2026
* Immigrants make up more than one-third of the hospitality workforce. Concerned about current and future labor shortages for housekeepers, line cooks, dishwashers and janitors, the American Hotel and Lodging Association is lobbying the Trump administration to lift the cap on H-2B visas, which permit employers to hire foreigners when qualified workers are not available. And immigrants comprise 26 percent of construction workers. In some trades, from roofing to painting and flooring, they account for more than half the workforce. Cutting immigration will drive construction costs higher and put homeownership further out of reach for many families.<br>None of this means the U.S. should abandon border enforcement, stop deporting “the worst of the worst” or ignore the strains that migration places on schools, housing and local services. But mass deportation and sweeping restrictions on legal immigration are not just cruel — they are economically self-destructive and at odds with the country America has long aspired to be.

* Support for the administration’s immigration policies has fallen sharply in recent months, as voters react to controversial raids, aggressive enforcement tactics, reports of mistreatment in detention facilities, the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and the deportation of undocumented immigrants to countries they never set foot in. But many voters may not realize that the administration’s unpopular deportation campaign is costing taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars, or that 48 people have died in ICE detention since Trump returned to the White House. If more of our fellow citizens understood the contributions immigrants make, we might once again proudly recite the words emblazoned on the Statute of Liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

* The Trump administration is planning on withholding tens of millions of dollars in federal homeland security funds from states that do not comply with its preferred election changes, CNN reported, citing internal documents obtained by the outlet. If states want to receive critical funds for counterterrorism and disaster mitigation, among other items, they will soon have to phase out certain electronic voting systems, including those that use bar codes, and instead move to hand-marked paper ballots.<br>The federal government will also require states to conduct manual election audits, using methods established by the Trump administration. States will also have to run their voter rolls through a Trump-approved citizenship verification database, also referred to as a national citizen database. The verification process, also known as the SAVE system (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, has grown controversial as it has produced several false positives, including flagging eligible voters who have then in turn been pulled from the voter rolls.<br>They will also have to use a Trump-approved system to verify the citizenship of anyone working at a polling location. If they do not comply, states will lose out on millions in funding, including federal dollars used to prevent terrorism, counter cyber attacks, protect infrastructure, and prepare for natural disasters. These grants are expected to total more than $1 billion in the current fiscal year, CNN reported. DHS grants have for years required that 3 percent of the funds be used for election security, but the new guidelines are expected to include mandatory reforms and penalties for noncompliance. States that refuse to comply could lose 20 percent of their grant money. The new guidelines are expected to be rolled out next week.

* The move reflects President Donald Trump’s obsession with rooting out nonexistent voter fraud, which MAGA claims is happening frequently, but in reality is extremely rare. The move by DHS is also being viewed as a way for the administration to skirt around MAGA’s doomed voter legislation, the SAVE Act. The bill does not have the required votes in the Senate for its passage, despite Trump furiously pressuring Senate Majority Leader John Thune to just blow up the filibuster to get it passed. Still, legal analysts told CNN that the punitive move would likely be shot down in court. “I expect (the new requirements) will be blocked in the courts,” said David Becker, a former Justice Department lawyer who now advises election officials.<br>The administration has tried and failed to implement similar tactics. Last year, Trump officials attempted to withhold federal dollars unless states submitted population totals in compliance with their hardline immigration policy. Several states sued, and a federal court blocked the policy.

* The Supreme Court on June 29 said Mississippi can count late-arriving mail-in ballots, handing a defeat to President Donald Trump, who is trying to curtail voting by mail. The court upheld a state law allowing ballots cast by Election Day to be counted if they’re received within five days. Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court's three liberal justices in backing the law. "The question today is not whether requiring ballots to be received by election day is a good or bad idea; the question is whether the idea has made its way into the United States Code," Barrett wrote for the 5-4 majority. And federal law, she concluded, dictates only that voters make a choice by a specific day, not that their ballots must be received on that day.<br>In dissent, Justice Samuel Alito said accepting late-arriving ballots "effectively postpones the date on which the electorate's choice is made, and federal law precludes that postponement." "Allowing absentee ballots to pour in over the days and weeks after election day, by which point preliminary elections returns are being publicly reported, creates greater opportunity for fraud and risks further undermining the public's confidence in election integrity," he wrote.<br>More than a dozen states have laws similar to Mississippi. Additional states allow late-arriving ballots from military and overseas voters. Voting by mail has decreased since its peak during the COVID-19 pandemic. But nearly 30% of voters still cast a ballot that way in the 2024 elections.

* Supporters of mail-in voting say it makes it easier for people – including retirees, service members and rural residents – to cast a ballot. And grace periods prevent people from losing their vote over postal service delays. But Trump has long railed against mail-in voting as vulnerable to fraud, despite casting a ballot by mail himself in March. He has claimed without evidence that mail-in voting cost him the 2020 election. Trump has separately tried to end both grace periods and mail-in voting altogether through both an executive order and by pressuring Congress to pass legislation. He called Monday's decision a “tremendous loss," and urged Congress to act. “There can be no more excuses!” Trump wrote on social media.<br>The Justice Department backed challenges brought by both the Republican Party and the Libertarian Party to Mississippi’s law. “Republicans are not going to be deterred by this decision, and the (Republican National Committee) will keep fighting to have elections end on Election Day as Americans want,” RNC Chairman Joe Gruters said in a statement.

* German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius pushed back against calls by US President Donald Trump that European allies within NATO should be unconditionally loyal to Washington. “NATO is not about blind obedience,” Pistorius told ''Der Spiegel'' magazine in an interview published on Thursday. “Decisions within NATO are taken by free consensus of all member states, and without being dictated by individual member states.” Pistorius said he did not expect any further criticism from the US directed at Germany during the NATO summit in Turkey next week, after a spat between German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Trump over the US strategy in the Iran war.<br>The US has floated the idea of granting political and economic benefits to NATO allies that spend more on defense, raising the prospect of a two-tier alliance. The idea speaks to ongoing tensions within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, as Trump pressures European allies to assume more of the military alliance’s funding burden. European leaders have been broadly receptive, but are anxious about Trump ending US security commitments to the continent. Washington has rattled allies in recent months with shifting announcements about pulling troops and resources from Europe. Already, the US has said it will withdraw 5,000 troops from Europe and slash the military assets Washington would provide in a crisis.

==Quotes==
===Rodrigo Duterte===
* He's known to be a very strong mayor, kasi 'yong type ng personality niya, na nadala din niya sa pagiging mayor niya, kung ano 'yong gusto niya, which is for the general welfare and greater good, iniinsist niya talaga, even though merong collateral damage na tinatawag. He's very headstrong.
**Translation: He's known to be a very strong mayor, because his type of personality, which he also brought with him as mayor, for whatever he wants, which is for the general welfare and greater good, he really insists on it, even though there are so-called collateral damage. He's very headstrong.

* [on her relationship with Rodrigo Duterte] We're not very close. We're not very close because I come from a broken family, eh. So the time that the marriage broke up, I went with my mother [[w:Elizabeth Zimmerman|[Elizabeth Zimmerman]]]. And we rarely see him sa bahay. He was always at work. People, hindi sila naniniwala. Hindi kami nag-uusap, pero hindi kami magkaaway. Gano'n lang talaga 'yong relationship namin, gano'n 'yong kinalakihan ko. Believe it or not, we never discussed trabaho, kasi nga, in the first place, hindi nga namin dini-discuss anything else, eh, all the more trabaho pa.
**Translation: We're not very close. We're not very close because I come from a broken family, eh. So the time that the marriage broke up, I went with my mother. And we rarely see him at home. He was always at work. People, they don't believe it. We don't talk to each other, but we aren't feuding. That is just how our relationship is, that is how I grew up. Believe it or not, we never discussed work, because of course, in the first place, we don't even discuss anything else, all the more about work.

====November 23 Zoom press conference====
* [in response to Julius "Princess Maui" L. Melanio's question]<br>Yes. Um, huwag kang mag-alala, ma'am, sa security ko, kasi may kinausap na ako na tao. Sinabi ko sa kanya, "Kapag pinatay ako, patayin mo si [[w:Bongbong Marcos|BBM]], si [[w:Liza Araneta Marcos|Liza Araneta [Marcos]]], at si [[w:Martin Romualdez|Martin Romualdez]]." No joke, no joke. Nagbilin na ako, ma'am. 'Pag namatay ako, sabi ko, "huwag ka tumigil, ha, hanggang hindi mo mapatay sila." And then he said "Yes." So... Alam mo, ma'am? 'Yan ang lagi kong... lagi kong sinasabi sa Makabayan Bloc, nung mayor pa ako. Ang laban wala diyan sa [[w:Epifanio delos Santos Avenue|EDSA]], ma'am. Wala diyan sa mga highway, mga... Ang laban, ma'am, nando'n sa loob ng palasyo. 'Yan ang problema. Uh, we appreciate yuong expression ninyo ng disgust, ng pagkamuhi... ng hopelessness, kasi it reflects kung ano yung nararamdaman ng marami, milyon-milyon. Alam ko 'yan, ma'am, kasi kahit saan ako pumunta, ako ang sinasabihan, "Binoto namin 'yan dahil sinabi mo 'Iboto namin'." So yes, ma'am. Maraming salamat sa ginagawa ninyo. Dahil sa ginagawa ninyo, I'm sure nakikita 'yan ng taong bayan, and naa-appreciate nila 'yan. Marami sa ating mga kababayan ang gusto sumali sa inyo, pero sa sobrang hirap ng buhay ngayon, hindi nila maiwanan yung mga trabaho nila at hanapbuhay nila, para pumunta sa daan. Bakit sila naghihirap? Bakit? Dahil sa gobyerno. Hindi ba dapat yung gobyerno natin ang nagpapagaan ng buhay ng tao? Bakit ang gobyerno natin ang nagpapahirap lalo sa tao? Kasi gusto ba nila lagi na lang mahirap ang mga tao, para madali mapasunod? May mga lugar kami sa Mindanao na ganyan ang mga pulitiko. Gusto nila mahirap lahat. Keh bahugan lang nila ug kwarta, governor na sila, mayor na sila, congressman na sila. Hanapin niyo, ma'am, yung mga lugar na sobrang hirap sa Mindanao. Tingnan niyo, ano'ng gawain ng pulitiko. Pinapakain lang ng pera ang tao, binabastos yung kanilang pagkatao dahil wala silang pakialam. 'Yan din yung mga tao na gustong sumama sa inyo, na nakikiisa sa inyo, pero hindi nila maiwanan yung hanapbuhay dahil sa pamilya. Madami 'yan, ma'am.
**Translation: Yes. Um, don't worry for my security, ma'am, because I have already talked to someone. I said to him, "If I get killed, kill BBM, Liza Araneta and Martin Romualdez." No joke, no joke. I already instructed [someone], ma'am. If I die, I said "Do not stop, all right, as long as you have yet to kill them." And then he said "yes." So... you know, ma'am? That's what I always... I always say to the Makabayan Bloc, when I was still mayor. The fight is not there in EDSA, ma'am. It's not there along the highways, those... The fight, ma'am, is there inside the palace. That's the problem. Uh, we appreciate your expression of disgust, of loathing... of hopelessness, because it reflects what many, millions, are feeling. I know that, ma'am, because wherever I go, I'm the one being told, "We vote for him because you told us 'Vote [for him]'." So yes, ma'am. Many thanks for what you are doing. Because of what you do, I'm sure that it is seen by our countrymen, and they're able to appreciate it. Many of our fellow citizens want to join you, but their lives are so hard right now, they can't leave their work and livelihoods behind, in order to go to the streets. Why are they suffering? Why? Because of the government. Shouldn't our government be the one to lighten people's lives? Why is our government the one causing people to suffer more? Is it because they want people to always be poor, just to be easy to instruct? We have places in Mindanao that have politicians like that. They want everyone to be poor. Just feed people with money, they're now governor, they're now mayor, they're now congressmen. Look, ma'am, for the places that are most poor in Mindanao. Look at how politicians behave. They just feed people with money, insulting their dignity because they don't care. Those are the people who also want to join you, be one with you, but they can't leave their livelihoods because of family. They are many, ma'am.

== Defamatory categories like Islamophobes added ==
[[q:Category:Islamophobes]] has been added recently and dozens of people have been tagged as Islamophobes, which is clearly potentially defamatory. The article links to [[w:Category:Islamophobia]], which has a very different meaning, although a similiar word. That WP cat `Islamophobia` clearly states "It '''must not''' include articles about individuals, groups or media that are allegedly Islamophobic." I guess the same thing applies here?
Pretty sure this category should be deleted. The same user has also created other categories which I haven't looked at but you may want to, e.g. `Religious discrimination`. Perhaps you need to lock down category creation? [[User:GrimRob|GrimRob]] ([[User talk:GrimRob|talk]]) 16:25, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
:Agreed on deletion. I don't know that we need a site-wide policy about category creation. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 16:26, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
::Agree that this is problematic - but I wouldn't just delete them. The people now in this category used to be in the acceptable category of <nowiki>[[Category:Critics of Islam]]</nowiki> (which I think is fine) - the changes should be reverted first, and then delete the new category. There's quite a difference between one who is a critic of Islam versus someone who is an Islamophobe. ~ [[User:UDScott|UDScott]] ([[User talk:UDScott|talk]]) 18:26, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
:::Yes. I agree the existing category was fine. [[User:GrimRob|GrimRob]] ([[User talk:GrimRob|talk]]) 18:57, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
::::ok I have been through them and undone the changes by @[[User:EarthDude|EarthDude]]. VFD issues on Category. [[User:GrimRob|GrimRob]] ([[User talk:GrimRob|talk]]) 13:30, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
:::I agree that there is a major difference between a critic of Islam and an Islamophobe, which is the main reason why I created this cat. We can't conflate the two of them. — [[User:EarthDude|<span style="font-family: Courier; color: darkviolet">'''EarthDude'''</span>]] ([[User talk:EarthDude|<span style="font-family: Courier; color: black">'''Talk'''</span>]]) 14:29, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
:How is this any different from [[q:Category:Antisemites]], [[q:Category:White supremacists]], or [[q:Category:Fascists]]? If something is widely accepted by reliable sourcing and has content related to it, I struggle to see how it would be considered defamatory. If calling someone an Islamophobe is defamatory, inspite of support from reliable sourcing, then we should also delete [[q:Category:Antisemites]] and other similar cats. We need to have a consistent standard. I tried my best to only include articles within the cat, for whom the widespread mainstream acceptance is that they are anti-Muslim in a racist and discriminatory sense rather than merely a critical sense. If you believe some entries don't reach that threshold, I don't mind their removal, and we can further discuss specific entries and the like specifically, but I strongly oppose the deletion of this cat. Locking category creation entirely is also quite an extreme response here. — [[User:EarthDude|<span style="font-family: Courier; color: darkviolet">'''EarthDude'''</span>]] ([[User talk:EarthDude|<span style="font-family: Courier; color: black">'''Talk'''</span>]]) 14:10, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
::For me, I don't necessarily disagree with your premise - but it appeared that everyone in the Critics of Islam category had been moved over to this new category (and just skimming through I saw at least a few people for which that label seemed to be extreme). I would suggest a very careful look at each individual to ensure that the proper category is applied (rather than just moving all from one category to the other). And since this recategorization has now been questioned, perhaps it would also be better to continue discussion a bit to gain some consensus before making further moves. ~ [[User:UDScott|UDScott]] ([[User talk:UDScott|talk]]) 14:42, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
:::I didn't move everyone from the Critics cat to the Islamophobe cat. After I was done with that work, quite a lot of articles still remained in the Critics cat. I had tried to be careful when I created the Islamophobe cat, but I am happy to discuss specific articles and whether or not they are appropriate in it. However, again, deleting it altogether is something I oppose. — [[User:EarthDude|<span style="font-family: Courier; color: darkviolet">'''EarthDude'''</span>]] ([[User talk:EarthDude|<span style="font-family: Courier; color: black">'''Talk'''</span>]]) 14:47, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
::::It's a very subjective thing though. Unless there is an authoritative quote from the person using the term in relation to themselves or something synonymous then it seems a can of worms to me and an accusation that many mainstream politicians for example might contest. How did you decide, was it your opinion on the person, as was it based entirely on the collection of quotes? Morrissey was one I looked at I actually added a quote indirectly about Islam because he didn't like slaughtering animals. I couldn't see anything which pinned him down as a confirmed self confessed Islamaphobe. [[User:GrimRob|GrimRob]] ([[User talk:GrimRob|talk]]) 15:37, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

::::::::::If there are quotes from an authoritative source and they are included in the WQ page, it's always going to be subjective to a degree and quotes can always be found to prove just about anything for public figures who might have massivce amounts of material in the public domain, but can't see what else you could go on.

I have linked the discussion here. The nominator's rationale for deleting that specific cat was "POV title, this will become merely a place for people to argue as to who or what is "notable" or "notorious"" and many in the discussion proposed renaming it to "Category:Antisemites". So the reason it was deleted is different from why this current VfD is open.<br /><br />Also, there have been figures like [[Laura Loomer]] who have explicitly identified themselves as Islamophobes.[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election/laura-loomer-islamophobe-republican-primary-florida-a9677066.html] — [[User:EarthDude|<span style="font-family: Courier; color: darkviolet">'''EarthDude'''</span>]] ([[User talk:EarthDude|<span style="font-family: Courier; color: black">'''Talk'''</span>]]) 05:41, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: to solve the riddle of the mysterious substance that is causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction... but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.

==Ryland Grace==
* [''In video recording'']
* Rocky's growing on me! At least he's not growing ''IN'' me, which was a concern for a while...
* I always wanted to be... mysterious. Talk too much. It's my problem. Like right now.
* Rocky, my hand is up. We can't just show up in a space ball unannounced and move into someone else's spaceship. Right? There has to be boundaries.
* There's nothing she can't do
* [''Whispering to camera''] He tells me what to do, he tells me why to do it, he tells me how to do it, he tells me when to do it, and then when I do it, he's like, "what are you doing?"
* [''Watches a new package being thrown from "Blip A" after the first one bounced off the Hail Mary's hull''] Why is it moving so much slower than the last one? [''Sighs and closes eyes''] They think I'm dumb.
* Guys! This is first contact! With life! Outside of the, uh oh. Oh... it died.
* Carl and I made a mini-Venus out of a plywood box and as soon as the samples recognized the, uh, spectral signature of CO2 they were... they were like "whoop, there it is!"
* Wow! You're not gonna believe this. Nothing happened!
* The astrophage consumes the sun's energy and then they expel it for propulsion. They toot to scoot, basically.
* Okay buddy, I watch you sleep but you have to wake up.
* Carl and I made a baby!
* We’re fathers, Carl!
==Eva Stratt==
* [''Looking at Ryland Grace while singing''] Remember, everything will be alright. We can meet again somewhere. Somewhere far away from here. And that is enough.
* This might seem like me betraying you, but this is actually me believing in you.
* You're smart. You'll figure it out.
==Rocky==
* Rocky watch whole crew die. Could not fix. Grace say Grace will die. Rocky fix.
* Amaze. Amaze. Amaze.
* Fist my bump.
* Rocky hate Mark.
* Grumpy. Angry. Stupid. How long since last sleep, question?
* Grace Rocky save stars
* It is time go.
* Time go fishing, question?
==Carl==
* You know who you are. You're going to do great.

* I'm not saying I don't believe you.
* We all have our loops. Our habits. Behaviors that keep us walking in circles. Reaching for the same solutions over and over again. Thinking each time will take you somewhere new, but they don't. And still, it's the neural pathway of least resistance. A path you made. It's the one that kept you safe when you were a child. You learned to push people away before they could hurt you.

:''[In a therapy session with Clark]''
:'''Mary''': Alone.
:'''Clark''': I mean, I'm not lonely. I have... employees, customers...
:'''Mary''': I didn't say lonely. I said alone.
:'''Clark''': I hurt people. I don't want to. It's just the way I'm wired. So, maybe I deserve to be alone.
:'''Mary''': Do you think anyone deserves to be alone?
:'''Clark''': I don't know, but, you know, maybe it's not such a bad thing.
:'''Mary''': Being alone feels deeply ingrained. I understand. You've had dreams and a lot of resistance, not a lot of support in realizing those dreams. And when we've experienced hurt again and again, we start to expect it It's like, oh, I know this path. I know where it goes. So... are you interested in forging a new path and see where that leads?
:'''Clark''': Sure. Why not? You know, I'm here.
:'''Mary''': Great. So, I want to revisit an exercise we've done before. The role play.
:'''Clark''': Oh, the acting thing?
:'''Mary''': Yeah.
:'''Clark''': I feel stupid doing that.
:'''Mary''': I know. But we have a few minutes. Let's, um... yeah, let's try. A little bit. All right. Let's hit the scene. Let's go back to the night that Barbara left you.
:'''Clark''': You mean the night she kicked me out of my own house?
:'''Mary''': Yeah.
:'''Clark''': I'm playing myself.
:'''Mary''': And I'll be Barbara.
:'''Clark''': It is my house, by the way. I'm the one paying for it.
:'''Mary''': I know.
:'''Clark''': Okay. So, um... I'd gotten home late. I don't know how late. She was already asleep. Maybe midnight. She usually goes to bed before. It doesn't matter. The point is, I was in the kitchen and, um... The glass. I broke the glass. And she comes running down to see what happened. And things escalated.
:'''Mary''': And how do you feel?
:'''Clark''': Well, I was... I was drunk. And, um... I felt stupid. I was angry. Because I broke the glass.
:'''Mary''': Can you say that to me?
:'''Clark''': What? To Barbara?
:'''Mary''': Yeah.
:'''Clark''': I'm sorry that I woke you.
:'''Mary''': Maybe if you'd come home earlier, we could have spent the evening together.
:'''Clark''': No, I was... I was working, you know. I came straight home after work.
:'''Mary''': Be honest with me, please. I can smell it on your breath.
:'''Clark''': I had a few beers.
:'''Mary''': Define a few.
:'''Clark''': Well, it was a hard day. I needed to wind down.
:'''Mary''': All we ever do is wind down. You're always at this door.
:'''Clark''': You want kids, right?
:'''Mary''': We both do.
:'''Clark''': Well, you know, having a family takes money, which means someone has to work. Unless being a professional student is considered a job these days.
:'''Mary''': That's not fair. You know I had to take time off.
:'''Clark''': Well, it's not my fault if you can't keep up. How are you gonna be a lawyer if you can't even handle law school? Who even pays for everything while you're gallivanting around campus like a 30-year-old freshman? I'll give you a hint. It's me. I pay for your school. I pay for your time off school. I pay for the roof over your head.
:'''Mary''': Can I talk now?
:'''Clark''': ''[Points]'' No. No. Because I'd like to know, what do you think happens if you do manage to graduate? You know, you pop out a kid and then you leave me with the bill. Or am I stuck at home changing diapers because you're too busy working for the first time in your life?
:'''Mary''': Now you're being cruel.
:'''Clark''': I'm being honest. I thought that's what you always wanted.
:'''Mary''': Just because you didn't get to be an architect doesn't mean...
:'''Clark''': I am a fucking architect! God damn it. I'm just stuck selling shit furniture because someone won't get off their fat fucking ass and help me.
:'''Mary''': How do you feel, Clark?
:'''Clark''': Who am I talking to? Me. Here. Malcolm. Um... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, uh... you know, get angry or lose my temper or whatever.
:'''Mary''': I know. That's the purpose of the whole exercise. This is a good start. To feel what you feel, and then learn to identify a new path. Your reaction was actually quite normal.
:'''Clark''': Oh, that's me.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Clark''': I found something..
:'''Mary''': What'd you find?
:'''Clark''': I found a place...I found a place.
<hr width="50%"/>
:''[In the backrooms alternate reality]''
:'''Clark''': You found it.
:'''Mary''': Where are we?
:'''Clark''': It's... every place that ever was.
:'''Mary''': How long have you been here? ''[Hears Pirate Clark monster roar]'' What was that?
:'''Clark''': Stay calm. It's only me. You know me. ''[Pirate Clark monster approaches then Clark gets Mary in a headlock and chokes her out]'' I know what I'm doing. I'll give you the power to change.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Mary''': ''[Wakes up tied to a chair in a kitchen/dining/living hybrid room of the backrooms alternate reality with Clark seated across from her]'' What is this?
:'''Clark''': It's a real mess. Am I right?
:'''Mary''': Clark, let me help you. Before you do anything you can't take back.
:'''Clark''': Answer the question.
:'''Mary''': Yes. It's a real mess.
:'''Clark''': But also beautiful. In a way. No?
:'''Mary''': Who are these people?
:'''Clark''': This place builds them. Or, actually, more like it remembers them. And the more times it remembers something, the less it does. Somewhere out there is a guy in a... striped shirt, but in here, he's... remembered. Just slightly wrong. Somewhere out there is a man in a... wheelchair and a lamp. I'm pretty sure that's how you get all of this. You know, all these places and... rooms and buildings... misremembering themselves.
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Mary''': Clark. Let's talk this through.
:'''Clark''': In some ways, they're an improvement on the originals. For starters, they can't feel anything. ''[walks over to a catatonic mature adult man figure and inserts knife into the man's neck]'' Can you imagine how good that must feel? I mean, there's no thoughts, no pain, no ego. No fear. They simply... exist. like... like furniture. Yeah. Look at this. Look at this. Best part. ''[Opens man's shirt]'' You can eat them. ''[Reaches into man's abdomen and rips out a chunk resembling furniture stuffing foam and places it on plates, then gestures to Mary to try it, then walks over to fridge, opens it to reveal decapitated head of Kat]'' Oh, that's my assistant manager, I tried to help her, but she just...
:'''Mary''': Clark, if you untie me, we can talk this through, get you feeling better,
:'''Clark''': What if I did untie you, you know, what then? You'd run around here like a chicken with its head cut off looking for a way out, you know, you'd end up in the same place you are now, like the path thing you're always talking about.
:'''Mary''': Clark, I just want to help you, just tell me what you need, I'll do it.
:'''Clark''': Yeah.
:'''Mary''': Yeah, yes, please.
:'''Clark''': Okay. Well, I want you to tell me that I didn't do anything wrong, you know, that... That you were wrong about me.
:'''Mary''': I was wrong about you! I was! I was wrong about you!
:'''Clark''': No, no, no, not like that, not, not so fast, okay? I mean, I want to, I want to set the scene first. Let's start, um, on the night that, uh, that I got kicked out of my own house. It was, um, it was late. A lot darker. ''[Turns to a woman figure]'' Lights, please. ''[Woman is unresponsive; he turns back to Mary and chuckles''] I tried this exercise with her before, it doesn't go anywhere. Fine. I'll do it myself. It's still my house, after all. ''[Gets up and walks over to light switch, turns off lights]'' Yeah. ''[Man figure in couch seat turns on lamp]'' Thank you. It's better. But there's... still... still... something off. ''[Pulls knife out of man's neck]'' Yeah... ''[approaches woman figure]''
:'''Mary''': Don't. ''[He cuts off her scalp, placing it over Mary's hair]'' Please.
:'''Clark''': I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I broke the glass and woke you up. I know how you like to sleep early. I was at the store late. I guess I lost track of the time. I was checking inventory, but I stopped off for a few beers.
:'''Mary''': Clark.
:'''Clark''': Barbara! I was checking inventory, then I stopped off for a few beers.
:'''Mary''': Define a few.
:'''Clark''': As many as I wanted. Because this is my house. I pay for it. I pay for everything. I pay for you to go to school. I pay for your time off school. I pay for the roof over your head. You want kids, right? Well, that takes money. So someone has to work around here! I said someone has to get off her fat ass and work around here!
:'''Mary''': Just because you didn't get to be an architect-
:'''Clark''': I ''am'' a fucking architect! I'm just stuck selling shit furniture because someone won't get off her fat fucking ass and help me!
<hr width="50%"/>
:'''Mary''': I'm not your wife!
:'''Clark''': Stay in character! ''[Mary shakes the fake hair from her head]'' Stay in character!
:'''Mary''': I've never even met her!
:'''Clark''': Stay in character!
:'''Mary''': Fuck you!
:'''Clark''': ''[Pause]'' What did you say?
:'''Mary''': You want to know the real reason your wife left you? It wasn't the drinking! or the stumbling home at all hours or the rage! It was the whining! Nothing's ever your fault, is it? You drink too much? Blame your job. You hate your job? Blame the world. You get kicked out of the house? Blame your wife. You attack me and tie me up? Blame your brain- you are your fucking brain, you dipshit!
:'''Clark''': You're saying it's my fault?!
:'''Mary''': Yes. But it's just the way you're wired, isn't it? Isn't it?
:'''Clark''': How do I stop doing that?
:'''Mary''': Honestly. I have no fucking idea. I can't help you, Clark. As much as I tried. It's just not up to me. I can't save anyone.
:'''Clark''': I don't think I want to change.
:'''Mary''': Then don't.
:'''Clark''': I like it in here. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm... Like I'm right where I'm supposed to be.
:'''Mary''': Then stay. But let me go.
:'''Clark''': ''[Starts cutting Mary's binds]'' I'm sorry.
:'''Mary''': For what? ''[Woman figure suddenly runs into corner]''
:'''Clark''': ''[Pirate Clark monster appears in doorway]'' This is Mary. She's our therapist. She was just leaving. You don't have to worry. She says we don't need to change. ''[Pirate Clark monster picks up Clark]'' It's okay. It's just the way we're wired. ''[Pirate Clark monster bites down on Clark's neck/shoulder who screams in anguish]'' No!

:'''Phil''': ''[enters interview room]'' Hello, I'm Phil. And you're Mary, yeah? ''[Sits at opposite end of table facing Mary]'' I was hoping to ask you a few questions for some clarification on our end, if that's okay. First thing, could you establish how you got in here?
:'''Mary''': I walked through a wall. In the basement of a furniture store.
:'''Phil''': ''[Holds up photo of Cap'n Clark's store front]'' Can you confirm that this is the location in question? Okay, good. So you were shopping, or...
:'''Mary''': I was looking for someone.
:'''Phil''': ''[Holds up photo of Clark with Captain Clark monster blotted out]'' Were you looking for this man? Right here?
:'''Mary''': Where am I right now?
:'''Phil''': Could you just confirm for me? ''[Points to photo of Clark again]'' Is this man right here? Here, the man you were looking for.
:'''Mary''': Please. Sorry, what was your name?
:'''Phil''': Phil.
:'''Mary''': Please, Phil. Where am I?
:'''Phil''': I'm not... I make, um... sorry, my... our company... ''[slides ASYNC pamphlet across table]'' we make [[w:Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI machines]]. Or, I should say, um... We used to make MRI machines. Not anymore. That was before we... before... we found...
:'''Mary''': You've been there?
:'''Phil''': ''[Turns to tinted window and then back to Mary]'' Yes, I have. And now, it's my job. Every day, I go in there. And I just try to... Try to find out even a little bit more. I map out areas to the best of my ability. And more and more, I'm convinced... that nothing in our lifetime... Mary... nothing in maybe all of recorded history... means more... than this.
:'''Mary''': But I don't understand it.
:'''Phil''': I don't... I can't even describe it. It...
:'''Mary''': It's like describing a dog to someone Who's never seen a dog. And then asking them to try draw it. Now you want me to... describe it. And then... You'll write it down, and then what?
:'''Phil''': Mary...
:'''Mary''': You'll let me go?
:'''Phil''': We all want the same thing here. We do. We just... want to find out even a little bit... more.
:'''Mary''': What's gonna happen to me, Phil?
:'''Phil''': That decision's not up to me. So... If we could just... talk. Just you and me. You know? Just like... Just like two regular people. We could unpack... some of this. We've both been in there. And... and... and... and get on the same page. There are... doors... opening... everywhere. We don't know why... or... what's connecting them. They just sort of keep happening and we don't want to stop them. :''[A backrooms montage of Mary's childhood moments and aesthetics, career book launches, poles of Kat and Bobby missing posters and their motel residence, and contemporary urban landscapes follows with a backroomsised catatonic Mary-esque figure in a room]''

'''Louis Julius Lindauer (1838-1915)''' was a member of the [[d:Q87842790|Lindauer criminal organization]]. He had his jobs listed as "exchange" and "broker" and operating a liquor store and a cigar store with his brothers in Manhattan and Jersey City and Hoboken. Together with his brothers they operated an illegal lottery. He was arrested and later received a Presidential Pardon by Ulysses S. Grant. Louis died of locomotor ataxia in 1915 at age 76. (b. August 1838; Pennsylvania, USA - d. January 19, 1915; 604 West 115th Street, Manhattan, New York City, New York County, New York, USA)
==Quotes about Lindauer==
*Louis Lindauer was convicted of dealing in lottery tickets before paying the special tax prescribed by law, and sentenced to be imprisoned for six months. And whereas numerous citizens of New York represent that his previous character was unstained, that he erred unintentionally, that he is a young man with a wife and family dependent on him for support and that they think that he has already been sufficiently punished to be pardoned.

== Quotes ==
*A lot of times you get an assistant on set or a script supervisor who will read the other side. However, he came in and … from start to finish, he read the conversation. I thought that was very generous of him.”
**[https://staytunedmag.com/tv-news/2009/07/02/adhir-kalyan-discusses-paul-blart-and-his-unordinary-obsession-with-jennifer-beals/]
*I got on the set and one of the assistant directors came up to me and said, ‘Did you receive the revised script? There were some rewrites.’ And there was that moment’s pause, then [I said], ‘No I didn’t actually. Maybe someone could hand that over to me?'”

== Quotes ==
*I also love earlier rock n roll when It was still quite tame and naïve and I think I capture that with a couple of my songs. Whatever I do, it’s important to me that there’s an edge to it, and that it’s in some way surprising. I think that’s the fastest way to get peoples attention and move them.”
**[https://www.theflow.co.za/josh-kempen-on-onesight-acoustics-and-his-love-of-naive-rock-n-roll/]
*I’ve only lately found myself playing later time slots – the sort of ‘party’ slots where people are ready to move and make noise and I really love it.”
**[https://www.theflow.co.za/josh-kempen-on-onesight-acoustics-and-his-love-of-naive-rock-n-roll/]
*I’m really just interested in a lot of sounds, so I’ve always been quite eclectic with my music. I also just don’t like the idea of playing the same sort of songs again and again. So I switch back and forth [between styles], but either way I hope there’s progress!”
**[https://www.theflow.co.za/josh-kempen-on-onesight-acoustics-and-his-love-of-naive-rock-n-roll/]
*I’ve been thinking pretty hard about how pursuing music can serve people because sometimes it feels quite selfish, but I’m still searching and I know deep down that this is what I need to be doing, and it’s why I’ll keep doing it for a long time, maybe forever.”

* It is now two hundred years since {{w|Stephen Gray (scientist)|Stephen Gray}} discovered that an {{w|electrical charge}} will move with great rapidity along certain substances called {{w|Electrical conductor|conductor}}s today. The motion of [[electricity]] began then to attract the attention of the [[Natural philosophy|natural philosopher]], and it became the subject of many scientific researches, particularly after [[Benjamin Franklin|Franklin]] had demonstrated that [[lightning]] is a motion of electricity. There is no doubt that many a scientist of Franklin's time associated with the destructive power of lightning something resembling the destructive power of a projectile; something endowed with an irresistible momentum. But who would have dared to suggest in those days that moving electricity just like moving matter had a momentum? Nobody suspected in those days that the history of the electrical science of the first half of the nineteenth century would be a record of the gradual evolution of this [https://www.reed.edu/physics/faculty/griffiths/EMMomentum.pdf electrical momentum] concept. [[Hans Christian Ørsted|Oersted]]'s discovery in 1819 of the {{w|magnetic field}} of force accompanying the motion of electricity marks the first step in the progress of that evolution.

* Cleitarchus speaks of four-wheeled carriages bearing trees with large leaves, from which were suspended (in cages) different kinds of tame birds, among which the orion was said to possess the sweetest note, but the catreus was the most beautiful in appearance, and had the most variegated plumage. In shape it approached nearest to the peacock, but the rest of the description must be taken from Cleitarchus.
** [[Strabo]], ''Geography'', bk. XV, ch. i, sec. 69 (tr. H. C. Hamilton and W. Falconer, 1854)
* He [Cleitarchus] says that in India there occurs a bird with strongly amorous propensities and that it is called the Orion. Well now, let us depict it as he has described it. This 'Orion' is the same size as the birds they call herons and its legs are red like theirs; its eyes are dark (in this respect it is unlike them), and Nature has taught it to make melody sweet as any bridal song with its alluring charms.
** [[Aelian]], ''Characteristics of Animals'', bk. XVII, ch. xxii 17.22 (tr. A. F. Scholfield, 1958)
* Cleitarchus says that in India there are monkeys of a mottled hue and immense size. And in mountainous districts they are so numerous that, says Cleitarchus, Alexander, the son of Philip, and the army under his command also were quite terrified at the sight of their massed numbers, imagining that they saw an army marshalled and waiting in ambush for them. You see, the monkeys happened to be standing upright when they appeared. These creatures are not to be caught with nets or by means of hounds following a scent, however great their skill in hunting. But this monkey is ready to dance if it sees a man dancing; it is even willing to play the pipe if it could learn how to blow. Further, if it catches sight of someone putting on his shoes, it imitates the action; and if a man underlines his eyes with lamp-black, it is anxious to do this too. Accordingly in place of the aforesaid objects men put out hollow, heavy shoes made of lead, to which they attach a noose underneath, so that when the monkeys slip their feet into them they are caught in the snare and cannot escape. And as a bait for their eyes men put out bird-lime in place of lampblack. And an Indian after using a mirror in sight of the monkeys [...] displaying not genuine mirrors but ones of a different kind, on to which they lace strong nooses. Such then is the apparatus which they employ. And so the monkeys come and gaze steadily, imitating what they have seen. And from the reflecting surface opposite their sight there is a surge of strongly gluey substance that gums up their eyelids, when they gaze intently into it. Then being unable to see, they are caught without any difficulty, for they are no longer able to escape.
** Aelian, ''Characteristics of Animals'', bk. XVII, ch. xxv (tr. A. F. Scholfield, 1958)
* And Clitarchus and others say that in Carthage, during great prayers, they place a boy in the hands of Cronus (a bronze statue is set up, with outstretched hands, and under it a baking oven) and then put fire under; the boy shrunk by the fire seems to laugh.

* If the metabolizable energy were all available to protect {{w|Tissue biology#Animal tissue|body tissue}} from oxidization, then giving feed to a {{w|fasting}} or partially fasting animal would be practically the substitution of one kind of fuel for another, and the total heat production would remain the same. It is, however, an observation as old as the time of [[Antoine Lavoisier|Lavoisier]] that the consumption of feed tends to increase the heat production of an animal. That investigator observed the oxygen consumption of man to increase materially (about 37 per cent) after a meal, and subsequent experiments by a large number of investigators have fully confirmed these earlier results, so that the fact of an increased metabolism consequent upon the ingestion of feed is undisputed.

'''[[w:Joseph Projectus Machebeuf|Joseph Projectus Machebeuf]]''' (11 August 1812 – 10 July 1889) was a French prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the bishop of the [[w:Roman Catholic Diocese of Denver|Diocese of Denver]].
== Quotes ==
* The greatest danger to American society is that we are rapidly becoming a nation of isolated individuals, without any family ties or affections. A large number have broken away from the old homestead, and live away from home in hotels and boarding houses; they are daily losing the habits, virtues and manners of home, without which the family cannot be sustained, and if the family is destroyed, the society, the nation is carried away in its fall. God made the family the type and basis of society; such is the family, such will be society.

'''Anna Heringer''' (born 13 October 1977 in {{w|Rosenheim}}) is an {{w|architect}} known for her approach to {{w|sustainable architecture}}, particularly in the realm of [[w:Earth structure|earthen construction]]. Her [[work]] is characterized by the use of local materials and techniques, as well as a commitment to [[community]] [[w:Community engagement|engagement]] and [[Grassroots movement|empowerment]]. Heringer has worked on projects in [[Bangladesh]], [[Morocco]] and [[Austria]], which have garnered international recognition for their appearance, [[w:Functionalism (architecture)|functionality]], and [[sustainability]], most notably the {{w|METI Handmade School}} in {{w|Rudrapur, Bangladesh}}.

=== The warmth and wisdom of mud buildings (Apr 2017) ===
:<small>| Anna Heringer, a [[w:TED (conference)|TED]] Talk, '''Creative Commons''' (CC BY–NC–ND 4.0 International) '''license''' [https://www.ted.com/talks/anna_heringer_the_warmth_and_wisdom_of_mud_buildings presentation.] Also see the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7I5BWW-0c8 YouTube video] (Oct 17, 2017) @TED channel.</small>
* '''[T]here are a lot of resources given by nature for free, and all that we need is our [[w:Sensory processing sensitivity|sensitivity]] to see them, and our [[creativity]] to use them.'''<!--0:49; &t=49s-->
* When I was an architecture student about 13 years ago, I went to [[Bangladesh]], to a remote village called [[w:Rudrapur, Bangladesh|Rudrapur]] with the aim to design and build [[w:METI Handmade School|a school]] as my thesis project. I had lived in that village before when I was 19, and a volunteer at Dipshikha, a Bangladeshi [[Non-governmental organization|NGO]] for rural development... [W]hat I had learned from them was that '''the most [[Sustainability|sustainable]] [[strategy]] for... development''' was to '''cherish and to use your... own resources and [[potential]] and not get dependent on [[w:Exogenous and endogenous variables|external factors]]... [T[his is what I tried to do with my [[architecture]]''', as well.<!--1:06; &t=66s-->
* In terms of '''[[w:Natural building#Materials|suitable building materials]] for my school''', I didn't have to look far. They '''were right under my feet: [[mud]], [[dirt]], [[w:Earth structure|earth]], [[clay]], however you call it, and [[bamboo]] that was growing all around.'''<!--1:43; &t=1039s-->
* [[Electricity]] in remote Bangladesh is rare, but we didn't need it. We had [[human]] [[energy]], and people were happy to have the [[work]]. Tools were an issue too, but we had... [[water buffalo]]es. We had also tried it with [[Cattle|cows]], but interestingly, they were too [[Intelligence|intelligent]]. They were always stepping in the holes of the previous round. They wouldn't mix '''the [[mud]], the {{w|straw}}, the [[sand]]''', which '''are the ingredients in the walls.'''<!--2:01; &t=121s-->
* [E]xcept a small team of consultants like my partner for realization, Eike Roswag and my... cousin, Emmanuel, '''it was... built... [by] craftsmen from the village.'''<!--2:01; &t=121s-->
** <small>'''Ref: 1''') [https://www.anna-heringer.com/projects/meti-school-bangladesh/ METI school] @anna-heringer.com '''2''') [https://www.nbl.berlin/persons/prof-eike-roswag-klinge/ Eike Roswag-Klinge] @nbl.berlin, Natural Building Lab, {{w|Technische Universität Berlin}}.</small>
[[File:Meti School Exterior.jpg|thumb|<center>{{w|METI Handmade School}}</center>]]
* [T]he [[w:METI Handmade School|METI school]] after 6 months of construction... [[w:Load-bearing wall|load-bearing]] earth walls that really ground the school and large bamboo structures that bring the lightness in. ...The classroom on the ground floor, attached are the caves ...for reading, for snuggling, for solo work, for meditation, for playing, and the classroom on the top.<!--2:47; &t=167s-->
* The [[children]] all signed... the doors. ...[T]hey ...helped building the school.<!--3:21; &t=201s-->
* '''[C]an you imagine the feeling of a small [[boy]] or a [[Girls|girl]], or an illiterate day-laborer standing in front of that school building.., knowing that you built this out of the ordinary [[bamboo]] and... the [[dirt]] underneath your feet, using nothing but your [[hands]]? That gives such an enormous boost of [[trust]] and [[confidence]] in yourself and the [[community]], and in the material.'''<!--3:36; &t=216s-->
* '''[[Mud|[M]ud]] has a very poor image.''' When we think of mud, we think of [[dirt]]. It's [[Ugliness|ugly]], it's nondurable, and '''this is the image I want to change.'''<!--4:06; &t=246s-->
* [I]t's the 11th rainy season for the school now, really harsh, horizontal monsoon rains, and the walls are standing strong.<!--4:19; &t=259s-->
* [H]ow does that work? '''First rule, a good [[w:Foundation (engineering)|foundation]] that keeps the wall dry from the ground, and second rule, a good {{w|roof}} that protects from the top. The third rule, {{w|erosion}} control.''' Mud walls need speed breakers... so that the rainwater cannot run down the wall fast... [T]hese speed breakers can be lines of [[bamboo]], or [[stone]]s, or {{w|straw}} mixed into the mud. Just like a [[Hills|hill]] needs [[trees]] or [[w:Rock (geology)|rock]]s in order to prevent erosion, it works just the same way.<!--4:19; &t=259s-->
* '''[P]eople always ask me if I have to add {{w|cement}} to the [[mud]], and the answer is no. There is no [[w:Rammed earth#Stabilizer|stabilizer]]''' [in], '''no coating on these walls, only in the [[w:Foundation (engineering)|foundation]].'''<!--5:07; &t=307s-->
* '''[I]f... [the wall] needs repairing''' it is really easy to do. You just '''take the broken part, make it wet.., put it back on the wall''' and it will look the same as before. I wish that would work on me too.<!--5:34; &t=334s-->
* [T]he great thing is, if '''an [[w:Earth structure|earth wall]]''' is not needed anymore, it '''can go back to the [[Soil|ground]] it came from, turn into a [[Gardens|garden]] or get fully [[w:Recycling|recycled]] without any of [[quality]]. There is no other material that can do this''', and this is why mud is so excellent in terms of [[Environmental degradation|environmental]] performance.<!--5:50; &t=350s-->
* '''What about [[Economics|economic]] [[sustainability]]?''' When we built [[w:METI Handmade School|the school]], I practically lived on the construction site, and in the evening I used to go with the [[Working class|workers]] to the market... I could see how they spent their [[money]]... [T]hey would buy [[vegetable]]s from their neighbors... [T]hey would get a new haircut, or a new blouse from the tailor. ...'''Because the main part of the building budget was spent on [[Workmanship|craftsmanship]], the school wasn't just a building. It became a real [[wikt:catalyst#English:_change_encourager|catalyst]] for local [[w:Community development|development]]''', and that made me happy.<!--6:12; &t=372s-->

* The building budget... was 35,000 Euros (it's probably double by now) and this is a lot of money for that region.., especially because this money is working within the community, and [[wikt:multiplier#English:_economic_ratio|rotating]] fast, and not on the stock market.<!--7:01; &t=421s-->
* So when it comes to economic sustainability of my project, '''my main question is, "Who gets the [[profit]]?"'''<!--7:01; &t=421s-->

* '''In more and more countries... [[w:Load-bearing wall|load bearing]] [[w:Earth structure|earthen structures]] are not allowed to be built anymore''', although they are [[tradition]]al and have lasted for 100s of years, and '''not because the material is weak, but because there are no {{w|architect}}s and {{w|engineer}}s who know how to deal with that material.'''<!--8:59; &t=539s-->
* '''So [[education]] on all levels, for craftsmen, engineers and architects, is... strongly needed.

'''even if you're small and... [[Weakness|weak]], you want to be part of the real [[life]]. ...You want to be [[wikt:intrinsic#Adjective|needed]].'''<!--11:56; &t=716s-->

* '''[[Vulnerability|[V]ulnerability]]'''... in the beginning... was difficult to deal with.., but... it '''is a... source of [[creativity]]''', because... every material... plus every {{w|climate}} is different... and the materials are vulnerable towards the climate...

* It was fantastic to grow up, [to have] as a... playground... these [[w:Gothic architecture|gothic]]... [[w:Vault (architecture)|vault systems]].., and the lines... built out of the local [[stone]]s... That was... the... tools and the toys that we had... growing up...<!--2:09; &t=129s-->
* The tradition, the culture of [[Germany|this place]]... as a shaping element is... dominant.., and... raised an interest... in other parts of the [[world]].., to see this from another perspective. That's why I went from {{w|Bavaria}} to [[Bangladesh]].., a completely different cultural context.., to see... how... local traditions... with local resources... is shaping [[architecture]].., and... the search of people on their way to [[happiness]].., the aim, to... reach a [[life]]... in [[balance]] with [[nature]]...<!--2:45; &t=165s-->
* '''[T]here is a lot of similarity between the [[life]]... anywhere... It's always, what existing resources... you have, and how can you use... [[creativity]] to make the best out of it? ...[T]hat's what I'm trying to do with my architecture.'''<!--3:53; &t=233s-->
* '''How... {{w|people}} get together and... build something together.., and this [[identity]]... linked with that, and this [[pride]] when you stand... in front of that [[church]] and say.., "We built it," and that {{w|community spirit}}... created... [T]his is something... we have to incorporate... It's not just about the outcome and the architecture, but... [[design]]ing the process'''...<!--4:30; &t=270s-->
* [I]n any project... I'm trying to bring in this notion... that... the [[community]] gets together and gets their hands involved in the building process... [T]hen... if you stand in front of that building, you... feel an extreme [[trust]] in your own [[potential]]s and... in the [[Teamwork|team]], the [[community]], and in the local resources...<!--5:03; &t=303s-->
* '''If you have strong roots, then it's much easier to go away and discover new horizons.'''<!--5:54; &t=354s-->
* I'm... an {{w|architect}}, but I'm also a [[w:Community development|development]] worker.., an [[Activism|activist]], and... there's this [[creativity|creative itching]] in me... [I]f I see a need somewhere, and... a [[potential]], then it might, Zing! and then something is coming out...<!--5:54; &t=393s-->
* '''I'm trying to use the [[creativity]], always as a tool to improve [[Life|lives]]'''.<!--6:56; &t=416s-->
* [W]hen I start a project... I try to figure out what are the resources available... in terms of materiality.., [[energy]] sources, and... [[Knowledge|know-how]], [[Workmanship|craft skills]]... [etc.] [I]t's essential that the materials... [and] energy sources are local.., particularly... [[w:Manual labour|human labor]].., a wonderful source of energy. Whenever we think of [[Renewable energy|alternative sources of energy]], we think of [[w:Solar energy|solar]], [[w:Wind power|wind]]... [etc.,] but... the '''human energy is... important, and... if we don't use it, then we create a [[w:Social issue|social problem]]. So this... is the most important energy source'''...<!--7:01; &t=421s-->
* '''Materials... coming from far away... needs a lot of [[transport]]ation, and... it's not needed''' [i.e., necessary]. '''We have fantastic building materials all around.'''<!--8:14; &t=494s-->
* '''[[Sustainability|[S]ustainability]] is... [[harmony]] with [[nature]], with the [[w:Sociocultural perspective|sociocultural context]],''' [and] '''with the {{w|people}} (the users). ...[I]t's ...doing things with [[love]] and [[wikt:care#Noun|care]], and not just ...on a formal level''' [to] '''[[Problem solving|solve a problem]]... [[Beauty|[B]eauty]]... is an expression of love and... sustainability is a synonym of beauty.'''<!--9:47; &t=587s-->
* '''[T]here is some [[activism]]... in... the sign, "Less {{w|concrete}} more [[Earth]]"... [W]e just can't continue building as we do. It's... just not working.'''<!--10:20; &t=620s-->
* In [[Bangladesh]] the cheapest solution is also the [[Sustainability|sustainable]] one. You just take the dirt from the ground and... build it with your hands. If you do this... in [[Europe]], it's damned expensive! ...[T]hat makes me [[Anger|angry]].<!--10:45; &t=645s-->
* '''[I]t's not a problem of the [[mud]]... or [[w:Earth structure|earthen architecture]], but... a problem with our [[economic system]].''' ...[W]e have to readjust our system and... have a higher price on materials that have... high embodied... [[energy]] {{w|resource}}s... and [that] create a lot of [[w:Greenhouse gas emissions|carbon emissions]]. So we... have to [[w:Carbon tax|tax those]], and... decrease the taxes on [[Manual labor|human labor]]... [T]hat would completely change our [[economic system]]... [and] our [[social system]]. ...[I]t would not just make [[w:Distribution of wealth|a few people rich]], but... would... make... a strong middle {{w|class}}, and really build up {{w|people}}...<!--11:00; &t=660s-->
* '''[W]e have [[1 (number)|one]] [[planet]]''', and we should... [[design]]... [accordingly.] '''[W]e are one humankind''', and just because I could afford... to build... with a lot of resources... [[steel]].., [[w:Greenhouse gas emissions|carbon emissions]].., {{w|concrete}}, I shouldn't.., because it's... using up more resources than... persons... visiting this [[opera]]... should... consume.<!--12:18; &t=738s-->
* '''[W]henever I'm designing, I... have... in mind... times 7 billion.., considering what would the [[world]] look like if... 7.5 billion people would do it in the same way.'''<!--12:45; &t=765s-->
* If you use that bucket of paint.., it's maybe just a bucket of paint, but if 7 billion people are using that paint that is... [[w:Groundwater pollution|harming the groundwater]]... No, I don't have the right to use that paint, and that's... my approach...<!--13:08; &t=788s-->
* '''It was just [[dirt]],''' and you just pile it somehow into a wall, but... '''[[mud]] was not considered to be equal to [[Bricks|brick]] or... {{w|concrete}}... It was just a [[wikt:temporary#Adjective|temporary]], [[dirt]]y solution. ...[T]he most important part was... to show that... with good [design and] craftsmanship, you can really... improve the quality of [[house]]s'''...<!--14:14; &t=854s-->
* I invited them... [the [[wives]]] to join the site as workers... [T]hat's the nice part with the [[mud]] because it's... [[w:Inclusive design|inclusive]]. You find [[work]] for everyone... We had people with [[Disability|disabilities]] working.., we had [[children]] involved.., and... the [[women]]... [T]hey traditionally do the plastering... with their hands. I said fine, it looks... more beautiful to me. ...After 2 or 3 days they started working with their... wives... [I]t was such a good [[Teamwork|team spirit]]... and... we as architects were also doing the least accepted work, like carrying the mud on their heads... trying to break up [[Hierarchy|hierarchies]] and... foster this team spirit... [T]he women... were getting the same salary as their husbands and working side by side. That really changed also, on the social level, in the village.<!--16:22; &t=982s-->
* [A] good looking architecture is not enough. ...[I]t ...has to bring [[meaning]] to the people, and... add... to a [[health]]y [[Earth|planet]]... [T]hat's what I'm trying to do with the [[work]].<!--18:04; &t=1084s-->
* I deeply believe that '''the [[world]] is not [[Change|changing]] with... [single] big [[decisions]]. It's the every day small decisions that are really shaping our [[w:Built environment|environment]] and our [[society]].'''<!--27:13; &t=1633s-->
* [T]he core problem with [[sustainability]]... [is] that these [[w:Natural building#Materials|natural materials]] are... linked with [[vulnerability]].., but... the vulnerability of [[w:Earth structure|earth]] is also the biggest [[advantage]]... [I]t can go back to the ground without [[Environmental degradation|harming the environment]].<!--28:10; &t=1690s-->
* [W]e are a [[waste]] [[society]], but we are trying to build in the most [[w:Durability|durable]] way. In fact.., we've never built for [[eternity]]. I'm fully OK if my buildings are de-composting one day. ...'''I'm hoping that I'm really leaving no waste, but [[knowledge]]. ...How to build something good out of the local resources. That's my [[Dreams|dream]].'''<!--28:28; &t=1708s-->
* Once an earth building is standing, you couldn't tell if it's there 1 day or... 100s of years. It has immediately this... [[wikt:archaic#Adjective|archaic]] feeling, but it also is not dominant. It's just there, in a very calm and present way, and that would... [[Beauty|beautifully]] blend in this [[History|historic]] surrounding.<!--29:00; &t=1740s-->

* [I]n terms of local [[energy]] sources, it was {{w|people}}. ...[W]hen we think of energy sources, we think of [[sun]].., [[wind]].., [[oil]], but we as human beings... are also sources of energy, and we are a growing source. ...We are almost 8 billion people, so we need to use this ...otherwise we create a social problem. '''We need to create [[work]] through [[architecture]].'''<!--3:01; &t=181s-->
* The [[children]] all signed... the doors, and... rightfully.., because they also helped building [[w:METI Handmade School|the school]]. ...[W]ith [[Soil|earth]], it's a wonderful [[w:Inclusive design|inclusive]] material. It's not harmful. You don't need sophisticated tools. You can use... your [[hands]], and it's wonderful to [[touch]]. It's non-[[w:Toxicity|toxic]], so it's... one of the beautiful {{w|asset}}s of [[earth]], that it's so inclusive. We also had people with [[Disability|disabilities]] working.., [[Man|men]].., [[women]] and [[Ageing|elderly]] people.., a fantastic diversity in the [[Teamwork|team]].<!--4:36; &t=276s-->
* '''These walls are hit by horizontal {{w|monsoon}} [[wind]]s since 2005, and the walls are standing strong. We didn't have to repair the walls. ...You have to ...apply ... certain rules, good boots, meaning a good [[w:Foundation (engineering)|foundation]].., a good {{w|roof}}, and then the walls are really standing strong.'''<!--6:08; &t=338s-->
* In terms of [[Economics|economic]] [[sustainability]]... [I]f I had built that school in {{w|concrete}} and [[steel]] this [[money]] would have been lost for the [[community]].<!--6:32; &t=392s-->
* '''[W]hen it comes to economic sustainability, it's never... just low [[cost]]... [T]he question is, who gets the [[profit]], and who gets the [[Benefits|benefit]]..? [T]hat's much more important, anywhere in the [[world]].'''<!--6:32; &t=392s-->
* '''I want to be able in the end.., when I'm... summing up all my budgets at the end of my life.., to be able to tell myself that it ended up with those who really needed it, and not just making the [[Wealth|rich]] [[Industry|industries]] even more rich.'''<!--7:46; &t=466s-->
* The last building I did in... [[w:Rudrapur, Bangladesh|Rudrapur]]... is a center for people with [[Disability|disabilities]], and a workshop for fair clothes production... I wanted to show it's good that we have a [[diversity]].., people that break out of the mode, and that is something [[Beauty|beautiful]].., something to [[Celebration|celebrate]]. So this building is... celebrating this diversity and breaking out of the mold...<!--8:01; &t=481s-->
* [T]his [[w:Inclined plane#Uses|ramp]] winds... all around the building... [I]t's the only ramp in that area... they've ever seen. ...'''[[w:Inclusive design|[I]nclusiveness]] is... a powerful thing in [[architecture]], that you can make... [ideas and concepts] clearly visible.''' ...[U]nderneath the ramp we have caves ...so you can ...crawl in ...and it's part of the [[therapy]]. The [[children]] have to move their bodies in a different way... so they train their muscles... [and] [[w:Motor coordination|coordination]] [[skill]]s, and it's... rewarding... The [[children]] from the village that have no disabilities... sneak in.., but they know they are the [[guests]] of the children with disabilities.., and it's a different zone for connecting with each other.<!--9:03; &t=481s-->
* The [[w:Textile industry in Bangladesh|garment sector]]... in [[Bangladesh]] because... drags... the [[w:Workforce|labor force]] from the villages into... fabrication hubs... The [[women]] have to leave their [[Family|families]]... and live in these... textile hubs where their life is... depending on [[w:Exogenous and endogenous variables|external factors]], where they lose a lot of [[independence]] and... [[w:Quality of life|life quality]]. So '''I wanted to bring in some work [[Opportunity|opportunities]] for the women to be able to stay with their families and... keep the village alive.'''<!--11:05; &t=665s-->

* When I was an architecture student about 13 years ago, I went to [[Bangladesh]], to a remote village called [[w:Rudrapur, Bangladesh|Rudrapur]] with the aim to design and build [[w:METI Handmade School|a school]] as my thesis project. I had lived in that village before when I was 19, and a volunteer at Dipshikha, a Bangladeshi [[Non-governmental organization|NGO]] for rural development... [W]hat I had learned from them was that '''the most [[Sustainability|sustainable]] [[strategy]] for... development''' was to '''cherish and to use your... own resources and [[potential]] and not get dependent on [[w:Exogenous and endogenous variables|external factors]]... [T[his is what I tried to do with my [[architecture]]''', as well.<!--1:06; &t=66s-->
* In terms of '''[[w:Natural building#Materials|suitable building materials]] for my school''', I didn't have to look far. They '''were right under my feet: [[mud]], [[dirt]], [[w:Earth structure|earth]], [[clay]], however you call it, and [[bamboo]] that was growing all around.'''<!--1:43; &t=1039s-->
* [[Electricity]] in remote Bangladesh is rare, but we didn't need it. We had [[human]] [[energy]], and people were happy to have the [[work]]. Tools were an issue too, but we had... [[water buffalo]]es. We had also tried it with [[Cattle|cows]], but interestingly, they were too [[Intelligence|intelligent]]. They were always stepping in the holes of the previous round. They wouldn't mix '''the [[mud]], the {{w|straw}}, the [[sand]]''', which '''are the ingredients in the walls.'''<!--2:01; &t=121s-->

[[w:Load-bearing wall|load-bearing]] earth walls that really ground the school and large bamboo structures that bring the lightness in. ...The classroom on the ground floor, attached are the caves ...for reading, for snuggling, for solo work, for meditation, for playing, and the classroom on the top.<!--2:47; &t=167s-->
* The [[children]] all signed... the doors. ...[T]hey ...helped building the school.<!--3:21; &t=201s-->
* '''[C]an you imagine the feeling of a small [[boy]] or a [[Girls|girl]], or an illiterate day-laborer standing in front of that school building.., knowing that you built this out of the ordinary [[bamboo]] and... the [[dirt]] underneath your feet, using nothing but your [[hands]]? That gives such an enormous boost of [[trust]] and [[confidence]] in yourself and the [[community]], and in the material.'''<!--3:36; &t=216s-->
* '''[[Mud|[M]ud]] has a very poor image.''' When we think of mud, we think of [[dirt]]. It's [[Ugliness|ugly]], it's nondurable, and '''this is the image I want to change.'''<!--4:06; &t=246s-->
* [I]t's the 11th rainy season for the school now, really harsh, horizontal monsoon rains, and the walls are standing strong.<!--4:19; &t=259s-->
* [H]ow does that work? '''First rule, a good [[w:Foundation (engineering)|foundation]] that keeps the wall dry from the ground, and second rule, a good {{w|roof}} that protects from the top. The third rule, {{w|erosion}} control.''' Mud walls need speed breakers... so that the rainwater cannot run down the wall fast... [T]hese speed breakers can be lines of [[bamboo]], or [[stone]]s, or {{w|straw}} mixed into the mud. Just like a [[Hills|hill]] needs [[trees]] or [[w:Rock (geology)|rock]]s in order to prevent erosion, it works just the same way.<!--4:19; &t=259s-->
* '''[P]eople always ask me if I have to add {{w|cement}} to the [[mud]], and the answer is no. There is no [[w:Rammed earth#Stabilizer|stabilizer]]''' [in], '''no coating on these walls, only in the [[w:Foundation (engineering)|foundation]].'''<!--5:07; &t=307s-->
* '''[I]f... [the wall] needs repairing''' it is really easy to do. You just '''take the broken part, make it wet.., put it back on the wall''' and it will look the same as before. I wish that would work on me too.<!--5:34; &t=334s-->
* [T]he great thing is, if '''an [[w:Earth structure|earth wall]]''' is not needed anymore, it '''can go back to the [[Soil|ground]] it came from, turn into a [[Gardens|garden]] or get fully [[w:Recycling|recycled]] without any loss of [[quality]]. There is no other material that can do this''', and this is why mud is so excellent in terms of [[Environmental degradation|environmental]] performance.<!--5:50; &t=350s-->
* '''What about [[Economics|economic]] [[sustainability]]?''' When we built [[w:METI Handmade School|the school]], I practically lived on the construction site, and in the evening I used to go with the [[Working class|workers]] to the market... I could see how they spent their [[money]]... [T]hey would buy [[vegetable]]s from their neighbors... [T]hey would get a new haircut, or a new blouse from the tailor. ...'''Because the main part of the building budget was spent on [[Workmanship|craftsmanship]], the school wasn't just a building. It became a real [[wikt:catalyst#English:_change_encourager|catalyst]] for local [[w:Community development|development]]''', and that made me happy.<!--6:12; &t=372s-->
* '''If I had designed the school in {{w|cement}} and [[steel]], this [[money]] would have been exported and lost for those [[Family|families]].'''<!--6:48; &t=408s-->
* The building budget... was 35,000 Euros (it's probably double by now) and this is a lot of money for that region.., especially because this money is working within the community, and [[wikt:multiplier#English:_economic_ratio|rotating]] fast, and not on the stock market.<!--7:01; &t=421s-->
* So when it comes to economic sustainability of my project, '''my main question is, "Who gets the [[profit]]?"'''<!--7:01; &t=421s-->
* '''[A]pproximately 3 billion people all around the planet are living in [[w:Earth structure|earth]] [[house]]s, and it is a traditional building material in [[Europe]], just as much as in [[Africa]].'''<!--7:43; &t=463s-->
* Strangely enough, '''[[mud]] is not considered worthy of being studied at [[universities]], so I brought the [[dirt]] to [[Harvard University|Harvard]]'''... precisely 60 tons of dirt right in front of the main {{w|façade}} of the [[w:Harvard Graduate School of Design|Graduate School of Design]]. ...'''[I]t was particularly fascinating to see how many people were [[touch]]ing the wall'''... [W]e usually don't go around our cities caressing our façades, right? ...'''In terms of [[awareness]]-building and... [[education]] it was like {{w|an acupuncture}} [[w:Myofascial trigger point#Overlap with acupuncture|trigger point]].'''<!--7:57; &t=477s-->
* '''In more and more countries... [[w:Load-bearing wall|load bearing]] [[w:Earth structure|earthen structures]] are not allowed to be built anymore''', although they are [[tradition]]al and have lasted for 100s of years, and '''not because the material is weak, but because there are no {{w|architect}}s and {{w|engineer}}s who know how to deal with that material.'''<!--8:59; &t=539s-->
* '''So [[education]] on all levels, for craftsmen, engineers and architects, is... strongly needed. Equally important is technological development''', like {{w|prefabrication}} developed by my colleague, Martin Rauch.., an Austrian artist and expert in [[w:Earth structure|earthen structures]]...

* For me, in this field of [[work]], which is mainly in [[Asia]] or [[Africa]]..., [[emancipation]] is very important, that one imparts [[knowledge]] and [[Grassroots movement|empowers people]] for self-construction, or to improve what they know.<!--10:08; &t=608s-->
* '''[I]t's perfectly fine if my buildings eventually end up on the compost heap, but what is wanted is that the [[knowledge]] remains, that one can simply rebuild it better'''... My passion for [[w:Community development|development]]... is... strong. My passion for [[architecture]] and [[business]] is... the fantastic link between development and... [[w:Architectural design values|architectural design]].<!--10:28; &t=628s-->
* [[w:Earth structure|[T]his material]] is... [[health]]y for people, [[Environmentalism|for the environment]].., for the [[society]] because it creates [[Work|jobs]], and... it's [[Beauty|beautiful]]. ...That's where my motivation to work with it comes from.<!--11:07; &t=667s-->

* [W]hat I had learned during my year in [[Bangladesh]] was that '''the most [[Sustainability|sustainable]] and... effective [[strategy]] for [[w:Community development|development]], is to... look at the [[potential]]s... existing and try to make the [[best]] out of it.., not... depending on [[w:Exogenous and endogenous variables|external factors]]'''... [S]even years later '''I tried to transform this [[philosophy]] into [[architecture]].'''<!--7:40; &t=460s-->
* '''[I]n terms of materials.., what was there was just below my feet.., the [[mud]], the [[dirt]], and the [[bamboo]]... growing all around... [I]n terms of [[energy]], it was the {{w|people}}.., [[Happiness|happy]] to have opportunities''' [working] '''on [[w:METI Handmade School|the school]].'''<!--8:03; &t=483s-->
* '''I wanted to show what you can do out of... local, basic materials; that it's not only possible to build small, dark {{w|hut}}s, but... also [[w:Structural engineering|large structures]].'''<!--9:30; &t=570s-->
* [W]hen you... deal with... [[wikt:archaic#Adjective|archaic]] notions.., it doesn't make a difference between a {{w|Bavaria}}n [[Children|child]] and a [[Bangladesh]]i child...<!--10:33; &t=633s-->
* '''The [[children]] all signed with their names on the doors... as [[authors]]''', because... every afternoon they were on the site helping us building. ...[T]hat's a very [[w:Humanity (virtue)|humane]] notion, that... '''even if you're small and... [[Weakness|weak]], you want to be part of the real [[life]]. ...You want to be [[wikt:intrinsic#Adjective|needed]].'''<!--11:56; &t=716s-->
* '''[[Mud|[M]ud]] ...is a very [[wikt:inclusive#English:_of_groups|inclusive]] material.''' ...It is just [[ceramic]]s in a slightly different scale. ...'''[I]t's a wonderful material to [[play]]... and... [[w:Construction|build]] with, and the [[children]] felt extremely [[w:Empowerment|empowered]].'''<!--12:26; &t=746s-->
* '''[T]he third rule is {{w|erosion control}}''', so just as a [[Hills|hill]] needs rocks or trees... to slow... the pace of the water.., '''the [[wall]] needs... on a bigger level.., speed breakers... on the {{w|façade}}, and... on the micro level you have... {{w|straw}}, and... if... {{w|rammed earth}} you have [[stone]]s... so that the façade is...

The holy statues... go into the water in the cycle every year. ...That's something we can ...[[Learning|learn]] from''' ...<!--20:26; &t=1226s-->
* '''We're always thinking... we have to build for [[eternity]]. ...But ...much more important is the [[w:Procedural knowledge|know-how]] that we're leaving behind. ...I'm really ok if my [[building]]s go back to [[nature]] one day ...I really don't think that I'm so important that my buildings have to stand forever. ...If they're needed they will be rebuilt, and the know-how will be passed on from one generation to the next. ...[T]hat's the important thing, that we ...build and create [[knowledge]], and not just [[waste]].'''<!--22:24; &t=1344s-->
* '''The core problem of [[sustainability]] is how we deal with the [[fear]] of [[decay]] and [[death]]... [T]hat's... something, especially in our society, a big [[taboo]], but... death is a part of [[nature]], and that's just something we have to [[respect]].'''<!--22:24; &t=1344s-->
* '''[[Vulnerability|[V]ulnerability]]'''... in the beginning... was difficult to deal with.., but... it '''is a... source of [[creativity]]''', because... every material... plus every {{w|climate}} is different... and the materials are vulnerable towards the climate...

==== Question and Answer Period ====
* '''I had never seen {{w|humidifier}}s before. ...[I]t's weird to make walls that are completely sealed, that cannot breath.''' ...In winter you have to plug in these instruments. You need a lot of [[electricity]] to get... a {{w|humidity}} that... is comfortable, while... '''my {{w|humidifier}} is my [[mud]] wall at home... It's completely automatic, and it's much more [[health]]y.''' ...I'm living not in a total [[w:Load-bearing wall|load bearing]] mud house, because I'm living in a 500 year old house. So I did a lot... inside... So there's a lot of hybrid versions also possible.<!--1:04:37; &t=3877s-->
* The [[w:Foundation (engineering)|foundation]] is the only thing where it would make sense to get [commercial] material. ...[T]he regulations in the [[w:Kutupalong refugee camp|camp]] are that there should be no lasting material there. So... you have to make {{w|rammed earth}} foundations, which a lot of houses in [[Bangladesh]]... have, also some 2-story houses. It's not that strong.., but... it's possible. It's doable. It just needs to be... a thick rammed earth foundation, and... the walls also have to be comparatively thick.<!--1:07:21; &t=4041s-->

* I... grew up.. surrounded by an architecture that is... [[wikt:archaic#Adjective|archaic]]... and... born out of the material... from that region.<!--1:10; &t=70s-->
* It was fantastic to grow up, [to have] as a... playground... these [[w:Gothic architecture|gothic]]... [[w:Vault (architecture)|vault systems]].., and the lines... built out of the local [[stone]]s... That was... the... tools and the toys that we had... growing up...<!--2:09; &t=129s-->
* The tradition, the culture of [[Germany|this place]]... as a shaping element is... dominant.., and... raised an interest... in other parts of the [[world]].., to see this from another perspective. That's why I went from {{w|Bavaria}} to [[Bangladesh]].., a completely different cultural context.., to see... how... local traditions... with local resources... is shaping [[architecture]].., and... the search of people on their way to [[happiness]].., the aim, to... reach a [[life]]... in [[balance]] with [[nature]]...<!--2:45; &t=165s-->
* '''[T]here is a lot of similarity between the [[life]]... anywhere... It's always, what existing resources... you have, and how can you use... [[creativity]] to make the best out of it? ...[T]hat's what I'm trying to do with my architecture.'''<!--3:53; &t=233s-->
* '''How... {{w|people}} get together and... build something together.., and this [[identity]]... linked with that, and this [[pride]] when you stand... in front of that [[church]] and say.., "We built it," and that {{w|community spirit}}... created... [T]his is something... we have to incorporate... It's not just about the outcome and the architecture, but... [[design]]ing the process'''...<!--4:30; &t=270s-->
* [I]n any project... I'm trying to bring in this notion... that... the [[community]] gets together and gets their hands involved in the building process... [T]hen... if you stand in front of that building, you... feel an extreme [[trust]] in your own [[potential]]s and... in the [[Teamwork|team]], the [[community]], and in the local resources...<!--5:03; &t=303s-->
* '''If you have strong roots, then it's much easier to go away and discover new horizons.'''<!--5:54; &t=354s-->
* I'm... an {{w|architect}}, but I'm also a [[w:Community development|development]] worker.., an [[Activism|activist]], and... there's this [[creativity|creative itching]] in me... [I]f I see a need somewhere, and... a [[potential]], then it might, Zing! and then something is coming out...<!--5:54; &t=393s-->
* '''I'm trying to use the [[creativity]], always as a tool to improve [[Life|lives]]'''.<!--6:56; &t=416s-->
* [W]hen I start a project... I try to figure out what are the resources available... in terms of materiality.., [[energy]] sources, and... [[Knowledge|know-how]], [[Workmanship|craft skills]]... [etc.] [I]t's essential that the materials... [and] energy sources are local.., particularly... [[w:Manual labour|human labor]].., a wonderful source of energy. Whenever we think of [[Renewable energy|alternative sources of energy]], we think of [[w:Solar energy|solar]], [[w:Wind power|wind]]... [etc.,] but... the '''human energy is... important, and... if we don't use it, then we create a [[w:Social issue|social problem]]. So this... is the most important energy source'''...<!--7:01; &t=421s-->
* '''Materials... coming from far away... needs a lot of [[transport]]ation, and... it's not needed''' [i.e., necessary]. '''We have fantastic building materials all around.'''<!--8:14; &t=494s-->
* '''[[Sustainability|[S]ustainability]] is... [[harmony]] with [[nature]], with the [[w:Sociocultural perspective|sociocultural context]],''' [and] '''with the {{w|people}} (the users). ...[I]t's ...doing things with [[love]] and [[wikt:care#Noun|care]], and not just ...on a formal level''' [to] '''[[Problem solving|solve a problem]]... [[Beauty|[B]eauty]]... is an expression of love and... sustainability is a synonym of beauty.'''<!--9:47; &t=587s-->
* '''[T]here is some [[activism]]... in... the sign, "Less {{w|concrete}} more [[Earth]]"... [W]e just can't continue building as we do. It's... just not working.'''<!--10:20; &t=620s-->
* In [[Bangladesh]] the cheapest solution is also the [[Sustainability|sustainable]] one. You just take the dirt from the ground and... build it with your hands. If you do this... in [[Europe]], it's damned expensive! ...[T]hat makes me [[Anger|angry]].<!--10:45; &t=645s-->
* '''[I]t's not a problem of the [[mud]]... or [[w:Earth structure|earthen architecture]], but... a problem with our [[economic system]].''' ...[W]e have to readjust our system and... have a higher price on materials that have... high embodied... [[energy]] {{w|resource}}s... and [that] create a lot of [[w:Greenhouse gas emissions|carbon emissions]]. So we... have to [[w:Carbon tax|tax those]], and... decrease the taxes on [[Manual labor|human labor]]... [T]hat would completely change our [[economic system]]... [and] our [[social system]]. ...[I]t would not just make [[w:Distribution of wealth|a few people rich]], but... would... make... a strong middle {{w|class}}, and really build up {{w|people}}...<!--11:00; &t=660s-->
* '''[W]e have [[1 (number)|one]] [[planet]]''', and we should... [[design]]... [accordingly.] '''[W]e are one humankind''', and just because I could afford... to build... with a lot of resources... [[steel]].., [[w:Greenhouse gas emissions|carbon emissions]].., {{w|concrete}}, I shouldn't.., because it's... using up more resources than... persons... visiting this [[opera]]... should... consume.<!--12:18; &t=738s-->
* '''[W]henever I'm designing, I... have... in mind... times 7 billion.., considering what would the [[world]] look like if... 7.5 billion people would do it in the same way.'''<!--12:45; &t=765s-->
* If you use that bucket of paint.., it's maybe just a bucket of paint, but if 7 billion people are using that paint that is... [[w:Groundwater pollution|harming the groundwater]]... No, I don't have the right to use that paint, and that's... my approach...<!--13:08; &t=788s-->
* '''It was just [[dirt]],''' and you just pile it somehow into a wall, but... '''[[mud]] was not considered to be equal to [[Bricks|brick]] or... {{w|concrete}}... It was just a [[wikt:temporary#Adjective|temporary]], [[dirt]]y solution. ...[T]he most important part was... to show that... with good [design and] craftsmanship, you can really... improve the quality of [[house]]s'''...<!--14:14; &t=854s-->
* I invited them... [the [[wives]]] to join the site as workers... [T]hat's the nice part with the [[mud]] because it's... [[w:Inclusive design|inclusive]]. You find [[work]] for everyone... We had people with [[Disability|disabilities]] working.., we had [[children]] involved.., and... the [[women]]... [T]hey traditionally do the plastering... with their hands. I said fine, it looks... more beautiful to me. ...After 2 or 3 days they started working with their... wives... [I]t was such a good [[Teamwork|team spirit]]... and... we as architects were also doing the least accepted work, like carrying the mud on their heads... trying to break up [[Hierarchy|hierarchies]] and... foster this team spirit... [T]he women... were getting the same salary as their husbands and working side by side. That really changed also, on the social level, in the village.<!--16:22; &t=982s-->
* [A] good looking architecture is not enough. ...[I]t ...has to bring [[meaning]] to the people, and... add... to a [[health]]y [[Earth|planet]]... [T]hat's what I'm trying to do with the [[work]].<!--18:04; &t=1084s-->
* I deeply believe that '''the [[world]] is not [[Change|changing]] with... [single] big [[decisions]]. It's the every day small decisions that are really shaping our [[w:Built environment|environment]] and our [[society]].'''<!--27:13; &t=1633s-->
* [T]he core problem with [[sustainability]]... [is] that these [[w:Natural building#Materials|natural materials]] are... linked with [[vulnerability]].., but... the vulnerability of [[w:Earth structure|earth]] is also the biggest [[advantage]]... [I]t can go back to the ground without [[Environmental degradation|harming the environment]].<!--28:10; &t=1690s-->
* [W]e are a [[waste]] [[society]], but we are trying to build in the most [[w:Durability|durable]] way. In fact.., we've never built for [[eternity]]. I'm fully OK if my buildings are de-composting one day. ...'''I'm hoping that I'm really leaving no waste, but [[knowledge]]. ...How to build something good out of the local resources. That's my [[Dreams|dream]].'''<!--28:28; &t=1708s-->
* Once an earth building is standing, you couldn't tell if it's there 1 day or... 100s of years. It has immediately this... [[wikt:archaic#Adjective|archaic]] feeling, but it also is not dominant. It's just there, in a very calm and present way, and that would... [[Beauty|beautifully]] blend in this [[History|historic]] surrounding.<!--29:00; &t=1740s-->

* [I]n terms of local [[energy]] sources, it was {{w|people}}. ...[W]hen we think of energy sources, we think of [[sun]].., [[wind]].., [[oil]], but we as human beings... are also sources of energy, and we are a growing source. ...We are almost 8 billion people, so we need to use this ...otherwise we create a social problem. '''We need to create [[work]] through [[architecture]].'''<!--3:01; &t=181s-->
* The [[children]] all signed... the doors, and... rightfully.., because they also helped building [[w:METI Handmade School|the school]]. ...[W]ith [[Soil|earth]], it's a wonderful [[w:Inclusive design|inclusive]] material. It's not harmful. You don't need sophisticated tools. You can use... your [[hands]], and it's wonderful to [[touch]]. It's non-[[w:Toxicity|toxic]], so it's... one of the beautiful {{w|asset}}s of [[earth]], that it's so inclusive. We also had people with [[Disability|disabilities]] working.., [[Man|men]].., [[women]] and [[Ageing|elderly]] people.., a fantastic diversity in the [[Teamwork|team]].<!--4:36; &t=276s-->
* '''These walls are hit by horizontal {{w|monsoon}} [[wind]]s since 2005, and the walls are standing strong.

* In terms of [[Economics|economic]] [[sustainability]]... [I]f I had built that school in {{w|concrete}} and [[steel]] this [[money]] would have been lost for the [[community]].<!--6:32; &t=392s-->
* '''[W]hen it comes to economic sustainability, it's never... just low [[cost]]... [T]he question is, who gets the [[profit]], and who gets the [[Benefits|benefit]]..? [T]hat's much more important, anywhere in the [[world]].'''<!--6:32; &t=392s-->
* '''I want to be able in the end.., when I'm... summing up all my budgets at the end of my life.., to be able to tell myself that it ended up with those who really needed it, and not just making the [[Wealth|rich]] [[Industry|industries]] even more rich.'''<!--7:46; &t=466s-->
* The last building I did in... [[w:Rudrapur, Bangladesh|Rudrapur]]... is a center for people with [[Disability|disabilities]], and a workshop for fair clothes production... I wanted to show it's good that we have a [[diversity]].., people that break out of the mode, and that is something [[Beauty|beautiful]].., something to [[Celebration|celebrate]]. So this building is... celebrating this diversity and breaking out of the mold...<!--8:01; &t=481s-->
* [T]his [[w:Inclined plane#Uses|ramp]] winds... all around the building... [I]t's the only ramp in that area... they've ever seen. ...'''[[w:Inclusive design|[I]nclusiveness]] is... a powerful thing in [[architecture]], that you can make... [ideas and concepts] clearly visible.''' ...[U]nderneath the ramp we have caves ...so you can ...crawl in ...and it's part of the [[therapy]]. The [[children]] have to move their bodies in a different way... so they train their muscles... [and] [[w:Motor coordination|coordination]] [[skill]]s, and it's... rewarding... The [[children]] from the village that have no disabilities... sneak in.., but they know they are the [[guests]] of the children with disabilities.., and it's a different zone for connecting with each other.<!--9:03; &t=481s-->
* The [[w:Textile industry in Bangladesh|garment sector]]... in [[Bangladesh]] because... drags... the [[w:Workforce|labor force]] from the villages into... fabrication hubs... The [[women]] have to leave their [[Family|families]]... and live in these... textile hubs where their life is... depending on [[w:Exogenous and endogenous variables|external factors]], where they lose a lot of [[independence]] and... [[w:Quality of life|life quality]]. So '''I wanted to bring in some work [[Opportunity|opportunities]] for the women to be able to stay with their families and... keep the village alive.'''<!--11:05; &t=665s-->

* When I was an architecture student about 13 years ago, I went to [[Bangladesh]], to a remote village called [[w:Rudrapur, Bangladesh|Rudrapur]] with the aim to design and build [[w:METI Handmade School|a school]] as my thesis project. I had lived in that village before when I was 19, and a volunteer at Dipshikha, a Bangladeshi [[Non-governmental organization|NGO]] for rural development... [W]hat I had learned from them was that '''the most [[Sustainability|sustainable]] [[strategy]] for... development''' was to '''cherish and to use your... own resources and [[potential]] and not get dependent on [[w:Exogenous and endogenous variables|external factors]]... [T[his is what I tried to do with my [[architecture]]''', as well.<!--1:06; &t=66s-->
* In terms of '''[[w:Natural building#Materials|suitable building materials]] for my school''', I didn't have to look far. They '''were right under my feet: [[mud]], [[dirt]], [[w:Earth structure|earth]], [[clay]], however you call it, and [[bamboo]] that was growing all around.'''<!--1:43; &t=1039s-->
* [[Electricity]] in remote Bangladesh is rare, but we didn't need it. We had [[human]] [[energy]], and people were happy to have the [[work]]. Tools were an issue too, but we had... [[water buffalo]]es. We had also tried it with [[Cattle|cows]], but interestingly, they were too [[Intelligence|intelligent]]. They were always stepping in the holes of the previous round.

[[File:Meti School Exterior.jpg|thumb|<center>{{w|METI Handmade School}}</center>]]
* [T]he [[w:METI Handmade School|METI school]] after 6 months of construction... [[w:Load-bearing wall|load-bearing]] [[w:Earth structure|earth walls]] that really ground the school and large [[w:Bamboo construction|bamboo structures]] that bring the lightness in. ...The classroom on the ground floor, attached are the caves ...for reading, for snuggling, for solo work, for meditation, for playing, and the classroom on the top.<!--2:47; &t=167s-->
* The [[children]] all signed... the doors. ...[T]hey ...helped building the school.<!--3:21; &t=201s-->
* '''[C]an you imagine the feeling of a small [[boy]] or a [[Girls|girl]], or an illiterate day-laborer standing in front of that school building.., knowing that you built this out of the ordinary [[bamboo]] and... the [[dirt]] underneath your feet, using nothing but your [[hands]]? That gives such an enormous boost of [[trust]] and [[confidence]] in yourself and the [[community]], and in the material.'''<!--3:36; &t=216s-->
* '''[[Mud|[M]ud]] has a very poor image.''' When we think of mud, we think of [[dirt]]. It's [[Ugliness|ugly]], it's nondurable, and '''this is the image I want to change.'''<!--4:06; &t=246s-->
* [I]t's the 11th rainy season for the school now, really harsh, horizontal {{w|monsoon}} rains, and the walls are standing [[Strength|strong]].<!--4:19; &t=259s-->
* [H]ow does that work? '''First rule, a good [[w:Foundation (engineering)|foundation]] that keeps the wall dry from the ground, and second rule, a good {{w|roof}} that protects from the top. The third rule, {{w|erosion}} control.''' Mud walls need speed breakers... so that the rainwater cannot run down the wall fast... [T]hese speed breakers can be lines of [[bamboo]], or [[stone]]s, or {{w|straw}} mixed into the mud. Just like a [[Hills|hill]] needs [[trees]] or [[w:Rock (geology)|rock]]s in order to prevent erosion, it works just the same way.<!--4:19; &t=259s-->
* '''[P]eople always ask me if I have to add {{w|cement}} to the [[mud]], and the answer is no. There is no [[w:Rammed earth#Stabilizer|stabilizer]]''' [in], '''no coating on these walls, only in the [[w:Foundation (engineering)|foundation]].'''<!--5:07; &t=307s-->
* '''[I]f... [the wall] needs repairing''' it is really easy to do. You just '''take the broken part, make it wet.., put it back on the wall''' and it will look the same as before. I wish that would work on me too.<!--5:34; &t=334s-->
* [T]he great thing is, if '''an [[w:Earth structure|earth wall]]''' is not needed anymore, it '''can go back to the [[Soil|ground]] it came from, turn into a [[Gardens|garden]] or get fully [[w:Recycling|recycled]] without any loss of [[quality]]. There is no other material that can do this''', and this is why mud is so excellent in terms of [[Environmental degradation|environmental]] performance.<!--5:50; &t=350s-->
* '''What about [[Economics|economic]] [[sustainability]]?''' When we built [[w:METI Handmade School|the school]], I practically lived on the construction site, and in the evening I used to go with the [[Working class|workers]] to the market... I could see how they spent their [[money]]... [T]hey would buy [[vegetable]]s from their neighbors... [T]hey would get a new haircut, or a new blouse from the tailor. ...'''Because the main part of the building budget was spent on [[Workmanship|craftsmanship]], the school wasn't just a building. It became a real [[wikt:catalyst#English:_change_encourager|catalyst]] for local [[w:Community development|development]]''', and that made me happy.<!--6:12; &t=372s-->
* '''If I had designed the school in {{w|cement}} and [[steel]], this [[money]] would have been exported and lost for those [[Family|families]].'''<!--6:48; &t=408s-->
* The building budget... was 35,000 Euros (it's probably double by now) and this is a lot of money for that region.., especially because this money is working within the community, and [[wikt:multiplier#English:_economic_ratio|rotating]] fast, and not on the stock market.<!--7:01; &t=421s-->
* So when it comes to economic sustainability of my project, '''my main question is, "Who gets the [[profit]]?"'''<!--7:01; &t=421s-->
* '''[A]pproximately 3 billion people all around the planet are living in [[w:Earth structure|earth]] [[house]]s, and it is a traditional building material in [[Europe]], just as much as in [[Africa]].'''<!--7:43; &t=463s-->
* Strangely enough, '''[[mud]] is not considered worthy of being studied at [[universities]], so I brought the [[dirt]] to [[Harvard University|Harvard]]'''... precisely 60 tons of dirt right in front of the main {{w|façade}} of the [[w:Harvard Graduate School of Design|Graduate School of Design]]. ...'''[I]t was particularly fascinating to see how many people were [[touch]]ing the wall'''... [W]e usually don't go around our cities caressing our façades, right? ...'''In terms of [[awareness]]-building and... [[education]] it was like {{w|an acupuncture}} [[w:Myofascial trigger point#Overlap with acupuncture|trigger point]].'''<!--7:57; &t=477s-->
* '''In more and more countries... [[w:Load-bearing wall|load bearing]] [[w:Earth structure|earthen structures]] are not allowed to be built anymore''', although they are [[tradition]]al and have lasted for 100s of years, and '''not because the material is weak, but because there are no {{w|architect}}s and {{w|engineer}}s who know how to deal with that material.'''<!--8:59; &t=539s-->
* '''So [[education]] on all levels, for craftsmen, engineers and architects, is... strongly needed. Equally important is technological development''', like {{w|prefabrication}} developed by my colleague, Martin Rauch.., an Austrian artist and expert in [[w:Earth structure|earthen structures]]... [H]e has created technologies for... prefabrication of {{w|rammed earth}} elements (that include {{w|insulation}}, wall [[w:Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning|heatings and coolings]], and... electrical fittings) that can be layered ...[for] multistorey buildings... [T]his can be important in order to scale up and...

* For me, in this field of [[work]], which is mainly in [[Asia]] or [[Africa]]..., [[emancipation]] is very important, that one imparts [[knowledge]] and [[Grassroots movement|empowers people]] for self-construction, or to improve what they know.<!--10:08; &t=608s-->
* '''[I]t's perfectly fine if my buildings eventually end up on the compost heap, but what is wanted is that the [[knowledge]] remains, that one can simply rebuild it better'''...

[[w:Architectural design values|architectural design]].<!--10:28; &t=628s-->
* [[w:Earth structure|[T]his material]] is... [[health]]y for people, [[Environmentalism|for the environment]].., for the [[society]] because it creates [[Work|jobs]], and... it's [[Beauty|beautiful]]. ...That's where my motivation to work with it comes from.<!--11:07; &t=667s-->

* [W]hat I had learned during my year in [[Bangladesh]] was that '''the most [[Sustainability|sustainable]] and... effective [[strategy]] for [[w:Community development|development]], is to... look at the [[potential]]s... existing and try to make the [[best]] out of it.., not... depending on [[w:Exogenous and endogenous variables|external factors]]'''... [S]even years later '''I tried to transform this [[philosophy]] into [[architecture]].'''<!--7:40; &t=460s-->
* '''[I]n terms of materials.., what was there was just below my feet.., the [[mud]], the [[dirt]], and the [[bamboo]]... growing all around... [I]n terms of [[energy]], it was the {{w|people}}.., [[Happiness|happy]] to have opportunities''' [working] '''on [[w:METI Handmade School|the school]].'''<!--8:03; &t=483s-->
* '''I wanted to show what you can do out of... local, basic materials; that it's not only possible to build small, dark {{w|hut}}s, but... also [[w:Structural engineering|large structures]].'''<!--9:30; &t=570s-->
* [W]hen you... deal with... [[wikt:archaic#Adjective|archaic]] notions.., it doesn't make a difference between a {{w|Bavaria}}n [[Children|child]] and a [[Bangladesh]]i child...<!--10:33; &t=633s-->
* '''The [[children]] all signed with their names on the doors... as [[authors]]''', because... every afternoon they were on the site helping us building. ...[T]hat's a very [[w:Humanity (virtue)|humane]] notion, that... '''even if you're small and... [[Weakness|weak]], you want to be part of the real [[life]]. ...You want to be [[wikt:intrinsic#Adjective|needed]].'''<!--11:56; &t=716s-->
* '''[[Mud|[M]ud]] ...is a very [[wikt:inclusive#English:_of_groups|inclusive]] material.''' ...It is just [[ceramic]]s in a slightly different scale. ...'''[I]t's a wonderful material to [[play]]... and...

* I... grew up.. surrounded by an architecture that is... [[wikt:archaic#Adjective|archaic]]... and... born out of the material... from that region.<!--1:10; &t=70s-->
* It was fantastic to grow up, [to have] as a... playground... these [[w:Gothic architecture|gothic]]... [[w:Vault (architecture)|vault systems]].., and the lines... built out of the local [[stone]]s... That was... the... tools and the toys that we had... growing up...<!--2:09; &t=129s-->
* The tradition, the culture of [[Germany|this place]]... as a shaping element is... dominant.., and... raised an interest... in other parts of the [[world]].., to see this from another perspective. That's why I went from {{w|Bavaria}} to [[Bangladesh]].., a completely different cultural context.., to see... how... local traditions... with local resources... is shaping [[architecture]].., and... the search of people on their way to [[happiness]].., the aim, to... reach a [[life]]... in [[balance]] with [[nature]]...<!--2:45; &t=165s-->
* '''[T]here is a lot of similarity between the [[life]]... anywhere... It's always, what existing resources... you have, and how can you use... [[creativity]] to make the best out of it? ...[T]hat's what I'm trying to do with my architecture.'''<!--3:53; &t=233s-->
* '''How... {{w|people}} get together and... build something together.., and this [[identity]]... linked with that, and this [[pride]] when you stand... in front of that [[church]] and say.., "We built it," and that {{w|community spirit}}... created... [T]his is something... we have to incorporate... It's not just about the outcome and the architecture, but... [[design]]ing the process'''...<!--4:30; &t=270s-->
* [I]n any project... I'm trying to bring in this notion... that... the [[community]] gets together and gets their hands involved in the building process... [T]hen... if you stand in front of that building, you... feel an extreme [[trust]] in your own [[potential]]s and... in the [[Teamwork|team]], the [[community]], and in the local resources...<!--5:03; &t=303s-->
* '''If you have strong roots, then it's much easier to go away and discover new horizons.'''<!--5:54; &t=354s-->
* I'm... an {{w|architect}}, but I'm also a [[w:Community development|development]] worker.., an [[Activism|activist]], and... there's this [[creativity|creative itching]] in me... [I]f I see a need somewhere, and... a [[potential]], then it might, Zing! and then something is coming out...<!--5:54; &t=393s-->
* '''I'm trying to use the [[creativity]], always as a tool to improve [[Life|lives]]'''.<!--6:56; &t=416s-->
* [W]hen I start a project... I try to figure out what are the resources available... in terms of materiality.., [[energy]] sources, and... [[Knowledge|know-how]], [[Workmanship|craft skills]]... [etc.] [I]t's essential that the materials... [and] energy sources are local.., particularly... [[w:Manual labour|human labor]].., a wonderful source of energy. Whenever we think of [[Renewable energy|alternative sources of energy]], we think of [[w:Solar energy|solar]], [[w:Wind power|wind]]... [etc.,] but... the '''human energy is... important, and... if we don't use it, then we create a [[w:Social issue|social problem]]. So this... is the most important energy source'''...<!--7:01; &t=421s-->
* '''Materials... coming from far away... needs a lot of [[transport]]ation, and... it's not needed''' [i.e., necessary]. '''We have fantastic building materials all around.'''<!--8:14; &t=494s-->
* '''[[Sustainability|[S]ustainability]] is... [[harmony]] with [[nature]], with the [[w:Sociocultural perspective|sociocultural context]],''' [and] '''with the {{w|people}} (the users). ...[I]t's ...doing things with [[love]] and [[wikt:care#Noun|care]], and not just ...on a formal level''' [to] '''[[Problem solving|solve a problem]]... [[Beauty|[B]eauty]]... is an expression of love and... sustainability is a synonym of beauty.'''<!--9:47; &t=587s-->
* '''[T]here is some [[activism]]... in... the sign, "Less {{w|concrete}} more [[Earth]]"... [W]e just can't continue building as we do. It's... just not working.'''<!--10:20; &t=620s-->
* In [[Bangladesh]] the cheapest solution is also the [[Sustainability|sustainable]] one. You just take the dirt from the ground and... build it with your hands. If you do this... in [[Europe]], it's damned expensive! ...[T]hat makes me [[Anger|angry]].<!--10:45; &t=645s-->
* '''[I]t's not a problem of the [[mud]]... or [[w:Earth structure|earthen architecture]], but... a problem with our [[economic system]].''' ...[W]e have to readjust our system and... have a higher price on materials that have... high embodied... [[energy]] {{w|resource}}s... and [that] create a lot of [[w:Greenhouse gas emissions|carbon emissions]]. So we... have to [[w:Carbon tax|tax those]], and... decrease the taxes on [[Manual labor|human labor]]... [T]hat would completely change our [[economic system]]... [and] our [[social system]]. ...[I]t would not just make [[w:Distribution of wealth|a few people rich]], but... would... make... a strong middle {{w|class}}, and really build up {{w|people}}...<!--11:00; &t=660s-->
* '''[W]e have [[1 (number)|one]] [[planet]]''', and we should... [[design]]... [accordingly.] '''[W]e are one humankind''', and just because I could afford... to build... with a lot of resources... [[steel]].., [[w:Greenhouse gas emissions|carbon emissions]].., {{w|concrete}}, I shouldn't.., because it's... using up more resources than... persons... visiting this [[opera]]... should... consume.<!--12:18; &t=738s-->
* '''[W]henever I'm designing, I... have... in mind... times 7 billion.., considering what would the [[world]] look like if... 7.5 billion people would do it in the same way.'''<!--12:45; &t=765s-->
* If you use that bucket of paint.., it's maybe just a bucket of paint, but if 7 billion people are using that paint that is... [[w:Groundwater pollution|harming the groundwater]]... No, I don't have the right to use that paint, and that's... my approach...<!--13:08; &t=788s-->
* '''It was just [[dirt]],''' and you just pile it somehow into a wall, but... '''[[mud]] was not considered to be equal to [[Bricks|brick]] or... {{w|concrete}}... It was just a [[wikt:temporary#Adjective|temporary]], [[dirt]]y solution. ...[T]he most important part was... to show that... with good [design and] craftsmanship, you can really... improve the quality of [[house]]s'''...<!--14:14; &t=854s-->
* I invited them... [the [[wives]]] to join the site as workers... [T]hat's the nice part with the [[mud]] because it's... [[w:Inclusive design|inclusive]]. You find [[work]] for everyone... We had people with [[Disability|disabilities]] working.., we had [[children]] involved.., and... the [[women]]... [T]hey traditionally do the plastering... with their hands. I said fine, it looks... more beautiful to me. ...After 2 or 3 days they started working with their... wives... [I]t was such a good [[Teamwork|team spirit]]... and... we as architects were also doing the least accepted work, like carrying the mud on their heads... trying to break up [[Hierarchy|hierarchies]] and... foster this team spirit... [T]he women... were getting the same salary as their husbands and working side by side. That really changed also, on the social level, in the village.<!--16:22; &t=982s-->
* [A] good looking architecture is not enough. ...[I]t ...has to bring [[meaning]] to the people, and... add... to a [[health]]y [[Earth|planet]]... [T]hat's what I'm trying to do with the [[work]].<!--18:04; &t=1084s-->
* I deeply believe that '''the [[world]] is not [[Change|changing]] with... [single] big [[decisions]]. It's the every day small decisions that are really shaping our [[w:Built environment|environment]] and our [[society]].'''<!--27:13; &t=1633s-->
* [T]he core problem with [[sustainability]]... [is] that these [[w:Natural building#Materials|natural materials]] are... linked with [[vulnerability]].., but... the vulnerability of [[w:Earth structure|earth]] is also the biggest [[advantage]]... [I]t can go back to the ground without [[Environmental degradation|harming the environment]].<!--28:10; &t=1690s-->
* [W]e are a [[waste]] [[society]], but we are trying to build in the most [[w:Durability|durable]] way. In fact.., we've never built for [[eternity]]. I'm fully OK if my buildings are de-composting one day. ...'''I'm hoping that I'm really leaving no waste, but [[knowledge]]. ...How to build something good out of the local resources. That's my [[Dreams|dream]].'''<!--28:28; &t=1708s-->
* Once an earth building is standing, you couldn't tell if it's there 1 day or... 100s of years. It has immediately this... [[wikt:archaic#Adjective|archaic]] feeling, but it also is not dominant. It's just there, in a very calm and present way, and that would... [[Beauty|beautifully]] blend in this [[History|historic]] surrounding.<!--29:00; &t=1740s-->

* [I]n terms of local [[energy]] sources, it was {{w|people}}. ...[W]hen we think of energy sources, we think of [[sun]].., [[wind]].., [[oil]], but we as human beings... are also sources of energy, and we are a growing source. ...We are almost 8 billion people, so we need to use this ...otherwise we create a social problem. '''We need to create [[work]] through [[architecture]].'''<!--3:01; &t=181s-->
* The [[children]] all signed... the doors, and... rightfully.., because they also helped building [[w:METI Handmade School|the school]]. ...[W]ith [[Soil|earth]], it's a wonderful [[w:Inclusive design|inclusive]] material. It's not harmful. You don't need sophisticated tools. You can use... your [[hands]], and it's wonderful to [[touch]]. It's non-[[w:Toxicity|toxic]], so it's... one of the beautiful {{w|asset}}s of [[earth]], that it's so inclusive. We also had people with [[Disability|disabilities]] working.., [[Man|men]].., [[women]] and [[Ageing|elderly]] people.., a fantastic diversity in the [[Teamwork|team]].<!--4:36; &t=276s-->
* '''These walls are hit by horizontal {{w|monsoon}} [[wind]]s since 2005, and the walls are standing strong.

* In terms of [[Economics|economic]] [[sustainability]]... [I]f I had built that school in {{w|concrete}} and [[steel]] this [[money]] would have been lost for the [[community]].<!--6:32; &t=392s-->
* '''[W]hen it comes to economic sustainability, it's never... just low [[cost]]... [T]he question is, who gets the [[profit]], and who gets the [[Benefits|benefit]]..? [T]hat's much more important, anywhere in the [[world]].'''<!--6:32; &t=392s-->
* '''I want to be able in the end.., when I'm... summing up all my budgets at the end of my life.., to be able to tell myself that it ended up with those who really needed it, and not just making the [[Wealth|rich]] [[Industry|industries]] even more rich.'''<!--7:46; &t=466s-->
* The last building I did in... [[w:Rudrapur, Bangladesh|Rudrapur]]... is a center for people with [[Disability|disabilities]], and a workshop for fair clothes production... I wanted to show it's good that we have a [[diversity]].., people that break out of the mode, and that is something [[Beauty|beautiful]].., something to [[Celebration|celebrate]]. So this building is... celebrating this diversity and breaking out of the mold...<!--8:01; &t=481s-->
* [T]his [[w:Inclined plane#Uses|ramp]] winds... all around the building... [I]t's the only ramp in that area... they've ever seen. ...'''[[w:Inclusive design|[I]nclusiveness]] is... a powerful thing in [[architecture]], that you can make... [ideas and concepts] clearly visible.''' ...[U]nderneath the ramp we have caves ...so you can ...crawl in ...and it's part of the [[therapy]]. The [[children]] have to move their bodies in a different way... so they train their muscles... [and] [[w:Motor coordination|coordination]] [[skill]]s, and it's... rewarding... The [[children]] from the village that have no disabilities... sneak in.., but they know they are the [[guests]] of the children with disabilities.., and it's a different zone for connecting with each other.<!--9:03; &t=481s-->
* The [[w:Textile industry in Bangladesh|garment sector]]... in [[Bangladesh]] because... drags... the [[w:Workforce|labor force]] from the villages into... fabrication hubs... The [[women]] have to leave their [[Family|families]]... and live in these... textile hubs where their life is... depending on [[w:Exogenous and endogenous variables|external factors]], where they lose a lot of [[independence]] and... [[w:Quality of life|life quality]]. So '''I wanted to bring in some work [[Opportunity|opportunities]] for the women to be able to stay with their families and... keep the village alive.'''<!--11:05; &t=665s-->

* '''[T]here are a lot of resources given by nature for free, and all that we need is our [[w:Sensory processing sensitivity|sensitivity]] to see them, and our [[creativity]] to use them.'''<!--0:49; &t=49s-->
* When I was an architecture student about 13 years ago, I went to [[Bangladesh]], to a remote village called [[w:Rudrapur, Bangladesh|Rudrapur]] with the aim to design and build [[w:METI Handmade School|a school]] as my thesis project. I had lived in that village before when I was 19, and a volunteer at Dipshikha, a Bangladeshi [[Non-governmental organization|NGO]] for rural development... [W]hat I had learned from them was that '''the most [[Sustainability|sustainable]] [[strategy]] for... development''' was to '''cherish and to use your... own resources and [[potential]] and not get dependent on [[w:Exogenous and endogenous variables|external factors]]... [T[his is what I tried to do with my [[architecture]]''', as well.<!--1:06; &t=66s-->
* In terms of '''[[w:Natural building#Materials|suitable building materials]] for my school''', I didn't have to look far. They '''were right under my feet: [[mud]], [[dirt]], [[w:Earth structure|earth]], [[clay]], however you call it, and [[bamboo]] that was growing all around.'''<!--1:43; &t=1039s-->
* [[Electricity]] in remote Bangladesh is rare, but we didn't need it. We had [[human]] [[energy]], and people were happy to have the [[work]]. Tools were an issue too, but we had... [[water buffalo]]es. We had also tried it with [[Cattle|cows]], but interestingly, they were too [[Intelligence|intelligent]]. They were always stepping in the holes of the previous round. They wouldn't mix '''the [[mud]], the {{w|straw}}, the [[sand]]''', which '''are the ingredients in the walls.'''<!--2:01; &t=121s-->
* [E]xcept a small team of consultants like my partner for realization, Eike Roswag and my... cousin, Emmanuel, '''it was... built... [by] craftsmen from the village.'''<!--2:01; &t=121s-->

[[File:Meti School Exterior.jpg|thumb|<center>{{w|METI Handmade School}}</center>]]
* [T]he [[w:METI Handmade School|METI school]] after 6 months of construction... [[w:Load-bearing wall|load-bearing]] [[w:Earth structure|earth walls]] that really ground the school and large [[w:Bamboo construction|bamboo structures]] that bring the lightness in. ...The classroom on the ground floor, attached are the caves ...for reading, for snuggling, for solo work, for meditation, for playing, and the classroom on the top.<!--2:47; &t=167s-->
* The [[children]] all signed... the doors. ...[T]hey ...helped building the school.<!--3:21; &t=201s-->
* '''[C]an you imagine the feeling of a small [[boy]] or a [[Girls|girl]], or an illiterate day-laborer standing in front of that school building.., knowing that you built this out of the ordinary [[bamboo]] and... the [[dirt]] underneath your feet, using nothing but your [[hands]]? That gives such an enormous boost of [[trust]] and [[confidence]] in yourself and the [[community]], and in the material.'''<!--3:36; &t=216s-->
* '''[[Mud|[M]ud]] has a very poor image.''' When we think of mud, we think of [[dirt]]. It's [[Ugliness|ugly]], it's nondurable, and '''this is the image I want to change.'''<!--4:06; &t=246s-->
* [I]t's the 11th rainy season for the school now, really harsh, horizontal {{w|monsoon}} rains, and the walls are standing [[Strength|strong]].<!--4:19; &t=259s-->
* [H]ow does that work? '''First rule, a good [[w:Foundation (engineering)|foundation]] that keeps the wall dry from the ground, and second rule, a good {{w|roof}} that protects from the top. The third rule, {{w|erosion}} control.''' Mud walls need speed breakers... so that the rainwater cannot run down the wall fast... [T]hese speed breakers can be lines of [[bamboo]], or [[stone]]s, or {{w|straw}} mixed into the mud. Just like a [[Hills|hill]] needs [[trees]] or [[w:Rock (geology)|rock]]s in order to prevent erosion, it works just the same way.<!--4:19; &t=259s-->
* '''[P]eople always ask me if I have to add {{w|cement}} to the [[mud]], and the answer is no. There is no [[w:Rammed earth#Stabilizer|stabilizer]]''' [in], '''no coating on these walls, only in the [[w:Foundation (engineering)|foundation]].'''<!--5:07; &t=307s-->
* '''[I]f... [the wall] needs repairing''' it is really easy to do. You just '''take the broken part, make it wet.., put it back on the wall''' and it will look the same as before. I wish that would work on me too.<!--5:34; &t=334s-->
* [T]he great thing is, if '''an [[w:Earth structure|earth wall]]''' is not needed anymore, it '''can go back to the [[Soil|ground]] it came from, turn into a [[Gardens|garden]] or get fully [[w:Recycling|recycled]] without any loss of [[quality]]. There is no other material that can do this''', and this is why mud is so excellent in terms of [[Environmental degradation|environmental]] performance.<!--5:50; &t=350s-->
* '''What about [[Economics|economic]] [[sustainability]]?''' When we built [[w:METI Handmade School|the school]], I practically lived on the construction site, and in the evening I used to go with the [[Working class|workers]] to the market... I could see how they spent their [[money]]... [T]hey would buy [[vegetable]]s from their neighbors... [T]hey would get a new haircut, or a new blouse from the tailor. ...'''Because the main part of the building budget was spent on [[Workmanship|craftsmanship]], the school wasn't just a building. It became a real [[wikt:catalyst#English:_change_encourager|catalyst]] for local [[w:Community development|development]]''', and that made me happy.<!--6:12; &t=372s-->
* '''If I had designed the school in {{w|cement}} and [[steel]], this [[money]] would have been exported and lost for those [[Family|families]].'''<!--6:48; &t=408s-->
* The building budget... was 35,000 Euros (it's probably double by now) and this is a lot of money for that region.., especially because this money is working within the community, and [[wikt:multiplier#English:_economic_ratio|rotating]] fast, and not on the stock market.<!--7:01; &t=421s-->
* So when it comes to economic sustainability of my project, '''my main question is, "Who gets the [[profit]]?"'''<!--7:01; &t=421s-->
* '''[A]pproximately 3 billion people all around the planet are living in [[w:Earth structure|earth]] [[house]]s, and it is a traditional building material in [[Europe]], just as much as in [[Africa]].'''<!--7:43; &t=463s-->
* Strangely enough, '''[[mud]] is not considered worthy of being studied at [[universities]], so I brought the [[dirt]] to [[Harvard University|Harvard]]'''... precisely 60 tons of dirt right in front of the main {{w|façade}} of the [[w:Harvard Graduate School of Design|Graduate School of Design]]. ...'''[I]t was particularly fascinating to see how many people were [[touch]]ing the wall'''... [W]e usually don't go around our cities caressing our façades, right? ...'''In terms of [[awareness]]-building and... [[education]] it was like {{w|an acupuncture}} [[w:Myofascial trigger point#Overlap with acupuncture|trigger point]].'''<!--7:57; &t=477s-->
* '''In more and more countries... [[w:Load-bearing wall|load bearing]] [[w:Earth structure|earthen structures]] are not allowed to be built anymore''', although they are [[tradition]]al and have lasted for 100s of years, and '''not because the material is weak, but because there are no {{w|architect}}s and {{w|engineer}}s who know how to deal with that material.'''<!--8:59; &t=539s-->
* '''So [[education]] on all levels, for craftsmen, engineers and architects, is... strongly needed. Equally important is technological development''', like {{w|prefabrication}} developed by my colleague, Martin Rauch.., an Austrian artist and expert in [[w:Earth structure|earthen structures]]... [H]e has created technologies for... prefabrication of {{w|rammed earth}} elements (that include {{w|insulation}}, wall [[w:Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning|heatings and coolings]], and... electrical fittings) that can be layered ...[for] multistorey buildings... [T]his can be important in order to scale up and... [speed] up the process... like in the [[w:Ricola#Ricola herb gardens|Ricola]] Herb Center in [[w:Laufen, Switzerland|Switzerland]].<!--9:17; &t=557s-->

* For me, in this field of [[work]], which is mainly in [[Asia]] or [[Africa]]..., [[emancipation]] is very important, that one imparts [[knowledge]] and [[Grassroots movement|empowers people]] for self-construction, or to improve what they know.<!--10:08; &t=608s-->
* '''[I]t's perfectly fine if my buildings eventually end up on the compost heap, but what is wanted is that the [[knowledge]] remains, that one can simply rebuild it better'''... My passion for [[w:Community development|development]]... is... strong. My passion for [[architecture]] and [[business]] is... the fantastic link between development and... [[w:Architectural design values|architectural design]].<!--10:28; &t=628s-->
* [[w:Earth structure|[T]his material]] is... [[health]]y for people, [[Environmentalism|for the environment]].., for the [[society]] because it creates [[Work|jobs]], and... it's [[Beauty|beautiful]]. ...That's where my motivation to work with it comes from.<!--11:07; &t=667s-->
* [W]e need many more {{w|open source}} resources, but also a way for people to see a real march of [[knowledge]]. ...[I]t's important that you can buy things as an architect, but... we need to know much more about new open-source resources so that {{w|people}}, even [[Poverty|those without financial means]], can access those...<!--11:30; &t=690s-->

* '''If the [[economic system]] does not support [[w:Natural building|this construction method]] that is [[Social justice|socially just]], [[Ecology|ecological]].., [[health]]y, then this [[economic system]] has to be [[change]]d, because [[capitalism]] is not a [[force]] of [[nature]].

[[File:Heringer meti school.jpg|thumb|Meti School, {{w|Haripur, Bangladesh}}, architect {{w|Anna Heringer}}]]
* [W]hat I had learned during my year in [[Bangladesh]] was that '''the most [[Sustainability|sustainable]] and... effective [[strategy]] for [[w:Community development|development]], is to... look at the [[potential]]s... existing and try to make the [[best]] out of it.., not... depending on [[w:Exogenous and endogenous variables|external factors]]'''... [S]even years later '''I tried to transform this [[philosophy]] into [[architecture]].'''<!--7:40; &t=460s-->
* '''[I]n terms of materials.., what was there was just below my feet.., the [[mud]], the [[dirt]], and the [[bamboo]]... growing all around... [I]n terms of [[energy]], it was the {{w|people}}.., [[Happiness|happy]] to have opportunities''' [working] '''on [[w:METI Handmade School|the school]].'''<!--8:03; &t=483s-->
* '''I wanted to show what you can do out of... local, basic materials; that it's not only possible to build small, dark {{w|hut}}s, but... also [[w:Structural engineering|large structures]].'''<!--9:30; &t=570s-->
* [W]hen you... deal with... [[wikt:archaic#Adjective|archaic]] notions.., it doesn't make a difference between a {{w|Bavaria}}n [[Children|child]] and a [[Bangladesh]]i child...<!--10:33; &t=633s-->
* '''The [[children]] all signed with their names on the doors... as [[authors]]''', because... every afternoon they were on the site helping us building. ...[T]hat's a very [[w:Humanity (virtue)|humane]] notion, that... '''even if you're small and... [[Weakness|weak]], you want to be part of the real [[life]]. ...You want to be [[wikt:intrinsic#Adjective|needed]].'''<!--11:56; &t=716s-->
* '''[[Mud|[M]ud]] ...is a very [[wikt:inclusive#English:_of_groups|inclusive]] material.''' ...It is just [[ceramic]]s in a slightly different scale. ...'''[I]t's a wonderful material to [[play]]... and... [[w:Construction|build]] with, and the [[children]] felt extremely [[w:Empowerment|empowered]].'''<!--12:26; &t=746s-->
* '''[T]he third rule is {{w|erosion control}}''', so just as a [[Hills|hill]] needs rocks or trees... to slow... the pace of the water.., '''the [[wall]] needs... on a bigger level.., speed breakers... on the {{w|façade}}, and... on the micro level you have... {{w|straw}}, and... if... {{w|rammed earth}} you have [[stone]]s... so that the façade is... [[w:Self-healing material|self-healing]].''' They are extremely [[w:Compressive strength|strong]] and there is no {{w|cement}} in it except in the [[w:Foundation (engineering)|foundation]].<!--13:43; &t=823s-->
* '''I felt more like a [[w:Conducting|conductor]]... when I could give space to the [[Workmanship|craftsmen]] to bring in their own [[ideas]]''', and I could just moderate... and then I knew when I had to step in and take the lead again... [I]t was a... dynamic... and [[wikt:participation#Noun|participatory]] [process].<!--18:46; &t=1126s-->
* '''[T]he biggest [[learning]] [[experience]] is the things that don't turn out the way you want'''...<!--19:09; &t=1149s-->

* '''[[Vulnerability]] is part of life. ...[[Decay|[D]ecay]] is... normal... [[Hindu]]s... build their cottages every year out of [[mud]], out of [[clay]], and they return it to the [[water]] every year, while we build everything in [[gold]], and in the most durable materials... The holy statues... go into the water in the cycle every year. ...That's something we can ...[[Learning|learn]] from''' ...<!--20:26; &t=1226s-->
* '''We're always thinking... we have to build for [[eternity]]. ...But ...much more important is the [[w:Procedural knowledge|know-how]] that we're leaving behind. ...I'm really ok if my [[building]]s go back to [[nature]] one day ...I really don't think that I'm so important that my buildings have to stand forever. ...If they're needed they will be rebuilt, and the know-how will be passed on from one generation to the next. ...[T]hat's the important thing, that we ...build and create [[knowledge]], and not just [[waste]].'''<!--22:24; &t=1344s-->
* '''The core problem of [[sustainability]] is how we deal with the [[fear]] of [[decay]] and [[death]]... [T]hat's... something, especially in our society, a big [[taboo]], but... death is a part of [[nature]], and that's just something we have to [[respect]].'''<!--22:24; &t=1344s-->
* '''[[Vulnerability|[V]ulnerability]]'''... in the beginning... was difficult to deal with.., but... it '''is a... source of [[creativity]]''', because... every material... plus every {{w|climate}} is different... and the materials are vulnerable towards the climate... The mud is water resolvable... It's vulnerable, so I have to change my [[Architecture|architectural]] [[language]], and... tailor it... '''[T]hat gives two great {{w|parameter}}s, the climate and... local materials... and the byproduct is.. [[wikt:authentic#Adjective|authentic]] and... unique [[architecture]]'''...<!--23:24; &t=1404s-->

* I... grew up.. surrounded by an architecture that is... [[wikt:archaic#Adjective|archaic]]... and... born out of the material... from that region.<!--1:10; &t=70s-->
* It was fantastic to grow up, [to have] as a... playground... these [[w:Gothic architecture|gothic]]... [[w:Vault (architecture)|vault systems]].., and the lines... built out of the local [[stone]]s... That was... the... tools and the toys that we had... growing up...<!--2:09; &t=129s-->
* The tradition, the culture of [[Germany|this place]]... as a shaping element is... dominant.., and... raised an interest... in other parts of the [[world]].., to see this from another perspective. That's why I went from {{w|Bavaria}} to [[Bangladesh]].., a completely different cultural context.., to see... how... local traditions... with local resources... is shaping [[architecture]].., and... the search of people on their way to [[happiness]].., the aim, to... reach a [[life]]... in [[balance]] with [[nature]]...<!--2:45; &t=165s-->
* '''[T]here is a lot of similarity between the [[life]]... anywhere... It's always, what existing resources... you have, and how can you use... [[creativity]] to make the best out of it? ...[T]hat's what I'm trying to do with my architecture.'''<!--3:53; &t=233s-->
* '''How... {{w|people}} get together and... build something together.., and this [[identity]]... linked with that, and this [[pride]] when you stand... in front of that [[church]] and say.., "We built it," and that {{w|community spirit}}... created... [T]his is something... we have to incorporate... It's not just about the outcome and the architecture, but... [[design]]ing the process'''...<!--4:30; &t=270s-->
* [I]n any project... I'm trying to bring in this notion... that... the [[community]] gets together and gets their hands involved in the building process... [T]hen... if you stand in front of that building, you... feel an extreme [[trust]] in your own [[potential]]s and... in the [[Teamwork|team]], the [[community]], and in the local resources...<!--5:03; &t=303s-->
* '''If you have strong roots, then it's much easier to go away and discover new horizons.'''<!--5:54; &t=354s-->
* I'm... an {{w|architect}}, but I'm also a [[w:Community development|development]] worker.., an [[Activism|activist]], and... there's this [[creativity|creative itching]] in me... [I]f I see a need somewhere, and... a [[potential]], then it might, Zing! and then something is coming out...<!--5:54; &t=393s-->
* '''I'm trying to use the [[creativity]], always as a tool to improve [[Life|lives]]'''.<!--6:56; &t=416s-->
* [W]hen I start a project... I try to figure out what are the resources available... in terms of materiality.., [[energy]] sources, and... [[Knowledge|know-how]], [[Workmanship|craft skills]]... [etc.] [I]t's essential that the materials... [and] energy sources are local.., particularly... [[w:Manual labour|human labor]].., a wonderful source of energy. Whenever we think of [[Renewable energy|alternative sources of energy]], we think of [[w:Solar energy|solar]], [[w:Wind power|wind]]... [etc.,] but... the '''human energy is... important, and... if we don't use it, then we create a [[w:Social issue|social problem]]. So this... is the most important energy source'''...<!--7:01; &t=421s-->
* '''Materials... coming from far away... needs a lot of [[transport]]ation, and... it's not needed''' [i.e., necessary]. '''We have fantastic building materials all around.'''<!--8:14; &t=494s-->
* '''[[Sustainability|[S]ustainability]] is... [[harmony]] with [[nature]], with the [[w:Sociocultural perspective|sociocultural context]],''' [and] '''with the {{w|people}} (the users). ...[I]t's ...doing things with [[love]] and [[wikt:care#Noun|care]], and not just ...on a formal level''' [to] '''[[Problem solving|solve a problem]]... [[Beauty|[B]eauty]]... is an expression of love and... sustainability is a synonym of beauty.'''<!--9:47; &t=587s-->
* '''[T]here is some [[activism]]... in... the sign, "Less {{w|concrete}} more [[Earth]]"... [W]e just can't continue building as we do. It's... just not working.'''<!--10:20; &t=620s-->
* In [[Bangladesh]] the cheapest solution is also the [[Sustainability|sustainable]] one. You just take the dirt from the ground and... build it with your hands. If you do this... in [[Europe]], it's damned expensive! ...[T]hat makes me [[Anger|angry]].<!--10:45; &t=645s-->
* '''[I]t's not a problem of the [[mud]]... or [[w:Earth structure|earthen architecture]], but... a problem with our [[economic system]].''' ...[W]e have to readjust our system and... have a higher price on materials that have... high embodied... [[energy]] {{w|resource}}s... and [that] create a lot of [[w:Greenhouse gas emissions|carbon emissions]]. So we... have to [[w:Carbon tax|tax those]], and... decrease the taxes on [[Manual labor|human labor]]... [T]hat would completely change our [[economic system]]... [and] our [[social system]]. ...[I]t would not just make [[w:Distribution of wealth|a few people rich]], but... would... make... a strong middle {{w|class}}, and really build up {{w|people}}...<!--11:00; &t=660s-->
* '''[W]e have [[1 (number)|one]] [[planet]]''', and we should... [[design]]... [accordingly.] '''[W]e are one humankind''', and just because I could afford... to build... with a lot of resources... [[steel]].., [[w:Greenhouse gas emissions|carbon emissions]].., {{w|concrete}}, I shouldn't.., because it's... using up more resources than... persons... visiting this [[opera]]... should... consume.<!--12:18; &t=738s-->
* '''[W]henever I'm designing, I... have... in mind... times 7 billion.., considering what would the [[world]] look like if... 7.5 billion people would do it in the same way.'''<!--12:45; &t=765s-->
* If you use that bucket of paint.., it's maybe just a bucket of paint, but if 7 billion people are using that paint that is... [[w:Groundwater pollution|harming the groundwater]]... No, I don't have the right to use that paint, and that's... my approach...<!--13:08; &t=788s-->
* '''It was just [[dirt]],''' and you just pile it somehow into a wall, but... '''[[mud]] was not considered to be equal to [[Bricks|brick]] or... {{w|concrete}}... It was just a [[wikt:temporary#Adjective|temporary]], [[dirt]]y solution. ...[T]he most important part was... to show that... with good [design and] craftsmanship, you can really... improve the quality of [[house]]s'''...<!--14:14; &t=854s-->
* I invited them... [the [[wives]]] to join the site as workers... [T]hat's the nice part with the [[mud]] because it's... [[w:Inclusive design|inclusive]]. You find [[work]] for everyone... We had people with [[Disability|disabilities]] working.., we had [[children]] involved.., and... the [[women]]... [T]hey traditionally do the plastering... with their hands. I said fine, it looks... more beautiful to me. ...After 2 or 3 days they started working with their... wives... [I]t was such a good [[Teamwork|team spirit]]... and... we as architects were also doing the least accepted work, like carrying the mud on their heads... trying to break up [[Hierarchy|hierarchies]] and... foster this team spirit... [T]he women... were getting the same salary as their husbands and working side by side. That really changed also, on the social level, in the village.<!--16:22; &t=982s-->
* [A] good looking architecture is not enough. ...[I]t ...has to bring [[meaning]] to the people, and... add... to a [[health]]y [[Earth|planet]]... [T]hat's what I'm trying to do with the [[work]].<!--18:04; &t=1084s-->
* I deeply believe that '''the [[world]] is not [[Change|changing]] with... [single] big [[decisions]]. It's the every day small decisions that are really shaping our [[w:Built environment|environment]] and our [[society]].'''<!--27:13; &t=1633s-->
* [T]he core problem with [[sustainability]]... [is] that these [[w:Natural building#Materials|natural materials]] are... linked with [[vulnerability]].., but... the vulnerability of [[w:Earth structure|earth]] is also the biggest [[advantage]]... [I]t can go back to the ground without [[Environmental degradation|harming the environment]].<!--28:10; &t=1690s-->
* [W]e are a [[waste]] [[society]], but we are trying to build in the most [[w:Durability|durable]] way. In fact.., we've never built for [[eternity]]. I'm fully OK if my buildings are de-composting one day. ...'''I'm hoping that I'm really leaving no waste, but [[knowledge]]. ...How to build something good out of the local resources. That's my [[Dreams|dream]].'''<!--28:28; &t=1708s-->
* Once an earth building is standing, you couldn't tell if it's there 1 day or... 100s of years. It has immediately this... [[wikt:archaic#Adjective|archaic]] feeling, but it also is not dominant. It's just there, in a very calm and present way, and that would... [[Beauty|beautifully]] blend in this [[History|historic]] surrounding.<!--29:00; &t=1740s-->

* [I]n terms of local [[energy]] sources, it was {{w|people}}. ...[W]hen we think of energy sources, we think of [[sun]].., [[wind]].., [[oil]], but we as human beings... are also sources of energy, and we are a growing source. ...We are almost 8 billion people, so we need to use this ...otherwise we create a social problem.

* The [[children]] all signed... the doors, and... rightfully.., because they also helped building [[w:METI Handmade School|the school]]. ...[W]ith [[Soil|earth]], it's a wonderful [[w:Inclusive design|inclusive]] material.

* '''These walls are hit by horizontal {{w|monsoon}} [[wind]]s since 2005, and the walls are standing strong.

* '''I want to be able in the end.., when I'm... summing up all my budgets at the end of my life.., to be able to tell myself that it ended up with those who really needed it, and not just making the [[Wealth|rich]] [[Industry|industries]] even more rich.'''<!--7:46; &t=466s-->
* The last building I did in... [[w:Rudrapur, Bangladesh|Rudrapur]]... is a center for people with [[Disability|disabilities]], and a workshop for fair clothes production... I wanted to show it's good that we have a [[diversity]].., people that break out of the mode, and that is something [[Beauty|beautiful]].., something to [[Celebration|celebrate]]. So this building is... celebrating this diversity and breaking out of the mold...<!--8:01; &t=481s-->
* [T]his [[w:Inclined plane#Uses|ramp]] winds... all around the building... [I]t's the only ramp in that area... they've ever seen. ...'''[[w:Inclusive design|[I]nclusiveness]] is... a powerful thing in [[architecture]], that you can make... [ideas and concepts] clearly visible.''' ...[U]nderneath the ramp we have caves ...so you can ...crawl in ...and it's part of the [[therapy]]. The [[children]] have to move their bodies in a different way... so they train their muscles... [and] [[w:Motor coordination|coordination]] [[skill]]s, and it's... rewarding... The [[children]] from the village that have no disabilities... sneak in.., but they know they are the [[guests]] of the children with disabilities.., and it's a different zone for connecting with each other.<!--9:03; &t=481s-->
* The [[w:Textile industry in Bangladesh|garment sector]]... in [[Bangladesh]] because... drags... the [[w:Workforce|labor force]] from the villages into... fabrication hubs... The [[women]] have to leave their [[Family|families]]... and live in these... textile hubs where their life is... depending on [[w:Exogenous and endogenous variables|external factors]], where they lose a lot of [[independence]] and... [[w:Quality of life|life quality]]. So '''I wanted to bring in some work [[Opportunity|opportunities]] for the women to be able to stay with their families and... keep the village alive.'''<!--11:05; &t=665s-->

*Twelve privileges of [[Mary, mother of Jesus|Mary]]'s love:
# she began to love God from the first instant of her life;
# Mary's love in this first instant incomparably surpasses the love of the first Seraphim and the greatest Saint, even though considered in its perfection and highest degree;.
# Mary perfectly fulfilled the commandment: «You will love your God with all your heart, with all your soul, etc.»;. 4) it was never a moment without loving God;
# her love grew continually;
# it surpassed that of all the [[angel|Angels]] together;
# she loved her [[Jesus]] with paternal and maternal affection together;
# being [[Mother of God|Mother]], Daughter and Bride of Jesus, she loved him with the Heart of Mother, Daughter, Bride: three loves of three different species, which are not and will never be found united in any other Heart;
# for the love brought to her Son, she made herself worthy of being a participant in his Passion and of being associated with him in the work of the [[Redemption]];
# for her inconceivable love for Jesus, He gave her the power to protect, direct, console and fill with all sorts of goods in life and death and after death, those who honor her with particular devotion;
# her ardent love united her to Jesus so strongly that death, by severing the union of the soul with the body of Jesus, had no repercussions on the inviolable union between the Savior and the soul of Her;
# love, who was able to separate the soul of Jesus on the Cross from the body, he was unable to separate that of Mary, destined to then find herself in body and soul in the glorious and immortal life.
:+Quoted in ''[https://www.radiospada.org/2023/08/il-cuore-di-maria-miracolo-damore/ Il Cuore di Maria: miracolo d’amore
]'', ''Radio Spada'', 22 August 2023.
*There is nothing in the virginal body of Mary that is not worthy of the immortal praises of all creatures. But his heart is entitled to a particular honor for its wonderful prerogatives:
# It is the principle of the life of this Divine Mother and of all the functions of her bodily and sensitive life: origin of the life of the one who gave life to the Son of God;
# Another prerogative of this Heart is to have prepared and donated the virginal blood from which the most holy body of the God-Man was formed;
# The third is that it was the beginning of the human life of the Child Jesus, during the hidden dwelling that He made in the bosom of his mother. As with any mother, it can be said that the life and heart of Mary was the life and heart of Jesus.
# The fourth prerogative is indicated by these words of the Song: «Our bed is all covered with fragrant flowers» (Ct I, 15). What is this bed, if not the most pure heart of Mary, on which the Child Jesus had to rest gently? It was the great privilege of the favourite disciple to have rested only once on the lovely chest of the master. But he hides how many times the Divine [[Saviour]] has not taken rest on his mother's virginal heart! What abundance of enlightenment, of graces, of blessings did Jesus not pour out on that heart always perfectly willing to receive divine influences, in that heart which He loved more than all other hearts, and from which He was loved more than by the [[Seraphim]] themselves! O my savior, I hear your voice repeating to every faithful soul to put you as a seal on its heart (Ct VIII, 6). It is what your holy mother has done excellently, carrying printed on her heart the living image of your life and all your virtues. And not content with this, you yourself wanted to put yourself as a seal on his heart to close it to everything that is not Jesus, to make you sole and sovereign master. You have impressed yourself on her maternal Heart by yourself, in a way worthy of You and Her.
# Fifth prerogative: it was the altar on which the great and continuous [[sacrifice]] of all natural passions rooted in the Heart was performed. They are the five passions of the irascible appetite: hope, mistrust; boldness, fear, and anger; and the six of the concupiscible part: love, hate, desire, escape, joy, sadness. After man has become rebellious against God, passions have turned against Him, so that instead of being totally subject to the will, they become its slave.

*I enjoy articulating questions that have gone unthought or unasked. When you expose a blind spot or really hit on a question that hasn’t been asked before, you can literally feel the shift in people’s way of thinking or their ability to notice things, it’s almost like a lever shifts and opens out a different configuration or space for noticing the world.

:<small>From an interview by Angelo Carotenuto, ''[https://rep.repubblica.it/pwa/venerdi/2018/07/04/news/capri_peppino-200865442/ Peppino di Capri: “L’isola è umida, ma beati noi che ci viviamo”]'', ''Rep.repubblica.it'', 5 July 2018</small>
* Between us islanders and the rest of the world there is always an element of ungovernability, which consists in the irreducibility of the sea. No one on an island is ever really master of their time. But, on the scale, the positive aspects prevail. Negativity is disposed of. Capri distracts.
* They can also teach multiplication tables in [[w:Capri|Capri]]. I myself studied on the island, up to gymnasium. In the evenings I would tour the island's nightclubs to sing, in the afternoon I would take lessons from a German teacher and in the morning I would go to school like a ghost. I had become transparent, I weighed 55 kilos.
*How can a place where fifteen thousand people live welcome another fifteen thousand a day? It's a stifling hug. Everyone wants to see [[w:Capri|Capri]], we are proud of it, but arrivals should be regulated.
