Cowboy: I'm from Earth. Ever hear of it? Cowboy: I'm from Earth. Know where that is? [upon seeing Gelt] Well, Shad, who's this? Shad: Do you want your name used? Gelt: My name is Gelt. Cowboy: Howdy, Gelt. I'm from Earth. Know where that is? Gelt: I was born in space. Cowboy: Okay, well, just know that I've always got your back. Gelt: Nobody goes behind me! Cowboy: Oh, you keep a tail light on, huh? [after seeing Gelt blast a ship] Ha, ha! I love watching a pro work! | |

30 seconds and counting, Zed. 29, 28, 27, 24, 15, 22... did I... did I say 15? [eating a hot dog for the first time] There's no dog in this. Cowboy: Uh-uh. Nestor 1: Hydrolyzed vegetable protein, soybean meal, niacin, dextrose, and sodium nitrate flavoring. Cowboy: Yup, that's what we call "meat" back home/ [after Gelt dies] Prepare a meal unknown (extra): A meal, sir? Shad: Full course. Bury it with him. unknown (extra): Bury it? Shad: That was our arrangement. A meal and a place to hide. Cayman of the Lambda Zone: HAIL THE CONQUERING HEROES! Shad: I'm sorry; they must be afraid. Cayman of the Lambda Zone: Afraid of what? Shad: All of you. They're not accustomed to violence, or to violent forms. Saint-Exmin: That's a hell of a note! Yago: This is Akir, a planet of stone with a single green spot. Sador: Let's see it. What about their forms? Yago: Comparable with ours. They have a solar technology. No known defense capacity. Sador: Interesting. Let's check that... [to Shad and the other Akira] Sador: ... [shouts] Sador: Hear me, beings of Akir. I am Sador of the Malmori. I have come with my forces to conquer you. If you resist, I will crush you. I possess a stellar converter, the most powerful weapon in the universe. You cannot resist me. I want your planet to be my colony. Your harvest comes in seven risings of your red giant. I shall return then, and you will accept me as your master. If you do not submit, your planet and all life on it will be burned to ash... [shouts] Sador: You are mine. Saint-Exmin: The Valkyrie are great warriors. In our youth we must leave home, and fight in as many battles as possible, until we have proven ourselves. Shad: Well, you've proven yourself to be a pain in the neck. So why don't you just... Saint-Exmin: Because, all the same, I wish to join your war against the Malmori. Shad: [exasperated] My PLANET is in danger, and you're playing TAG with me! Your ship is like a toy; you have no firepower. Saint-Exmin: It is one of the fastest in the universe. Shad: Still, the Varda teach us that "swift rain is little rain." [He breaks it off with her] Nell: Pretty harsh, weren't you? Shad: You saw her. She was PLAYING with me. Nell: Yes... and she WON. Shad: I'm hiring mercenaries for defense of the planet Akir. But food and shelter are all we can offer in payment. All our wealth is in our culture. Gelt: I could buy your planet ten times over with what I've gathered in this room: plutonium, cadmium, quanine crystals... I've been very well paid for my work. Shad: I'm sorry; I've wasted your time... Gelt: NO... WAIT... Listen to the rest of it. I sleep with my back to the wall, when I CAN sleep. I EAT SERPENTS, seven times a week. There's not a major city in this galaxy where I can show my face, or spend my wealth. Right now, your offer looks very attractive to me... A meal, and a place to hide. Agreed? Cayman of the Lambda Zone: This is Cayman of the Lambda Zone, calling Sador of the Malmori. Turn around, you over-aged de-generate, and we'll bump heads! Sador: ...Of what form are you, Cayman? Cayman of the Lambda Zone: I am of the Lazuli. Sador: I thought I had the honor of making that form extinct, long ago! I won't fail this time! HERE I COME, CAYMAN OF THE LAZULI! Sador: Are you capable of speech? Nestor 2: Yes, quite capable. Sador: And do you have a high tolerance for pain? Nestor 2: Almost none at all, I'm afraid. Sador: How unfortunate for you. So... How many ships do the Akira have, and what are their capabilities? Nestor 2: If I told you that, it would give you an unfair advantage. Sador: This is Frojo, my Third Officer. Frojo is expert at inflicting pain... while keeping the victim alive. Nestor 2: ...It's good to have skills. Saint-Exmin: Shad, did you see me on the monitor? There was a fighter right on my tail... I pulled up... and smashed him into an asteroid! Shad: [grimly] I'm glad this is so much fun for you. These aren't YOUR people we're fighting for. Saint-Exmin: It's not that I don't empathize; That's the Valkyrie Creed: "Live fast, fight well and have a beautiful ending." Shad: [looking her in the eyes] NO VIOLENT DEATH IS BEAUTIFUL! Saint-Exmin: [smiling] You've never seen a Valkyrie go down... Tembo: Why are we slowing down? Kalo: Orders were to guard the planet. Tembo: To hell with orders! I want that ship! Kalo: Remember Bilko? He disobeyed orders, and now Lord Sador's wearing HIS FOOT! Tembo: Right... Maybe we'd better go back. Shad: Gelt! Are you okay? Gelt: [just prior to force-landing back on Akir] That remains to be seen, Shad. Have a nice fight! [carrying a bag of ashes] Our emissary has returned from Umateal. They have replied to our ultimatum. Sador: ...And? [Yago hands him the bag; he examines the contents] Sador: ... What's this? Yago: It WAS our emissary, sir. They have... That is their reply to our ultimatum. [Sador throws the bag in a rage, just missing him] Yago: ... Obviously, they are a proud form. Sador: In an hour they'll be an EXTINCT one. There'll not be a trace of them left... Not even their dust. Nestor 1: You see... There is only one Nestor, one consciousness. As you might imagine, this has proven very lonely and very dull. We must avoid becoming... we believe you have a phrase for it... becoming "bored to death." Shad: Can we outrun them? Nell: We sure as hell can't OUTFIGHT them, not with YOU in the driver's seat...! [And after they've escaped] Nell: ... Turning my backside to those Malmori S.O.B.s! I can't believe it! You got no BACKBONE, kid! When Zed was your age... Shad: My job is ONLY to find mercenaries. And I'm NOT Zed. Nell: I'll say; Not even a pale imitation. Shad: [insulted] You know, I thought I did pretty well back there; YOU'RE still in one piece, aren't you? Nell: Oh, sure; If they ever start giving out prizes for running away, YOU'LL be Champion of the Universe! Sador: Could we POSSIBLY be out of range? Yago: Not at all, Sir. Something must be wrong... Sador: [disgusted] What's WRONG is that I have an army full of GENETIC MISTAKES! Why can't my minions be sophisticated or intelligent, like... well, like ME? Yago: Well, you can't expect ALL of us to measure up to YOU, Sir. Sador: Oh, don't flatter me!... Those two probably slammed their ship into an asteriod or something. Yago: Or they MAY have been shot down. Sador: Shot down? How? Akir has nothing to put in the air! Yago: Perhaps somebody came to help... Sador: Would YOU help AKIR against ME? Surely no one would do anything so stupid. Not even Kalo and Tembo! [after being beamed aboard Nestor's ship] Okay, what's the big idea? [All 5 Nestors turn to face him] Shad: Don't everybody talk at once! [When none of the Nestors speak up, he draws his handgun] Shad: Listen, if I don't get some answers FAST, I'm gonna have to use this thing! [Nestor causes his own gun-hand to turn on him, aiming at his own head; he vainly attempts to wrench it away] Shad: ... Let me rephrase that. Nestor 1: [upon releasing Shad] You are not of a violent form. We sensed that you did not intend to shoot. Shad: You read my mind? Nestor 1: Among other things. [upon meeting Shad for the first time] I'm only in this battle for Sador. I want his head. Shad: ...Well, you're welcome to it. Tembo: Just look at her, Kalo! Kalo: We were ordered to guard this planet, remember? Tembo: Where's it gonna go? Come on, let's do it! Kalo: That would make you happy, wouldn't it? What the hell, they're only Akira! [They beam up the hapless bride; Later, when Shad arrives with the Mercenaries] Kalo: ... Tembo! Come on up here! Tembo: [laughing] I'm busy. Kalo: FORGET ABOUT HER! We've got seven unidentified objects on the monitor! Tembo: SEVEN OF THEM? What do you think we should do? Kalo: I don't know... Run away? Tembo: GOOD IDEA! [then, as they're being pursued] Tembo: Faster! It's gaining on us! Kalo: It can't be! We're already at full thrust! Tembo: Then turn around and face it, I'll try and shoot it down! Kalo: That's crazy, we don't even know what it is! We live by the Varda; the Varda is not to fight. The Akira haven't fought for centuries! Shad: The Varda teach us that each form has its function. Dr. Hephaestus: Forms must prey on other forms. Shad: That's not what the Varda teach us. We prey on nobody. Nell: The Varda say we can take life to save life. Nell: If it can't hurt you, forget about it. That's what the Varda say. Shad: [to St. Exmin] The Varda teach us that swift rain is little rain. Lux: [to the Mercenaries] The Varda teach us to trust first and judge later. Shad: The First Law of the Varda is to use greater strength/force against itself. Shad: The Varda teach us that no life-force is ended until all the lives that it has touched have ended, until all the good that it has done is gone. | |
