❛ the others made it, right? ❜

❛ thanks for the confidence boost. ❜

❛ they won't help you in here. ❜

❛ all we can do is record and observe. ❜

❛ that's easy for you to say. ❜

❛ you don't have anyone back on earth waiting for you, do you? ❜

❛ you have no idea what's easy for me. ❜

❛ going down there is going to cost us. ❜

❛ you don't find that every day. ❜

❛ no time for monkey business down there. ❜

❛ don't worry, i wouldn't leave you behind. ❜

❛ a literal heart of darkness... ❜

❛ don't say much, do you? ❜

❛ the answer's there, just no way to see it. ❜

❛ wanna get in fast, don't we? ❜

❛ hands where i can see them! ❜

❛ what're you waiting for? go! ❜

❛ those aren't mountains... they're waves. ❜

❛ you don't have time! ❜

❛ get back here! now! ❜

❛ i told you to leave me. ❜

❛ difference is, only one of us was thinking about the mission. ❜

❛ i was trying to do the right thing! ❜

❛ whats this gonna cost us? ❜

❛ we're not prepared for this. ❜

❛ you're a bunch of eggheads with the survival skills of a boy-scout troop. ❜

❛ we're stuck here till there won't be anyone left on earth to save. ❜

❛ don't just shake your head at me! ❜

❛ time is relative — it can stretch and it can squeeze — but it can't run backwards. ❜

❛ could they be talking to us from the future? ❜

❛ i'm sorry. i screwed up. ❜

❛ i wasn't much of a parent, but i understood the most important thing — let your kids feel safe. ❜

❛ i've waited years. ❜

❛ i thought i was prepared. ❜

❛ there's nothing here for us. ❜

❛ why didn't you sleep? ❜

❛ i stopped believing you were coming back. ❜

❛ something seems wrong about dreaming your life away. ❜

❛ we've been receiving, but nothing gets out. ❜

❛ just start at the beginning. ❜

❛ i've got a surprise for you. ❜

❛ you're not listening to this. i know that. ❜

❛ you're gone. you're never coming back. and i've known that for a long time. ❜

❛ it'd be a real good time for you to come back. ❜

❛ i didn't mean to intrude. ❜

❛ i've never seen you in here before. ❜

❛ i've never been in here before. ❜

❛ i just had something i wanted to get out. ❜

❛ i know they're still out there. ❜

❛ i'm not afraid of death. i'm afraid of time. ❜

❛ are you calling my life's work nonsense? ❜

❛ love isn't something we invented — it's observable, powerful. why shouldn't it mean something? ❜

❛ love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. maybe we should trust that, even if we can’t yet understand it. ❜

❛ if you're wrong, you'll have a very personal decision to make. ❜

❛ you might have to decide between seeing your children again and the future of the human race. ❜

❛ all these years... all these people counted on me. i let you all down. ❜

❛ i'll finish what you started. ❜

❛ you left us here. to die. ❜

❛ pray you never learn just how good it can be to see another face. ❜

❛ you have literally raised me from the dead. ❜

❛ with our situation, there's not much hope of any other rescue. ❜

❛ tell us about your world. ❜

❛ some things aren't meant to be known. ❜

❛ we can care deeply, selflessly for people we know, but our empathy rarely extends beyond our line of sight. ❜

❛ we are the future. ❜

❛ i'm still trying to solve this. ❜

❛ you'd do this for us? ❜

❛ a trip into the unknown requires improvisation. ❜

❛ at the very moment of death, your mind pushes a little harder to survive. ❜

❛ none of this turned out the way it was supposed to. ❜

❛ i'm sorry — i can't let you leave. ❜

❛ you fucking coward. ❜

❛ you're gonna save the human race? really? how? ❜

❛ take your stuff and go. ❜

❛ don't — you'll kill us both. ❜

❛ please don't judge me — you were never tested like i was. ❜

❛ that survival instinct — that's what drove me. ❜

❛ you're feeling it, aren't you? ❜

❛ i'm sorry, i can't watch you go through this — i thought i could. ❜

❛ i'm still here. i'm here for you. ❜

❛ i'm sorry. we should've followed your instincts. ❜

❛ this is no time for caution. ❜

❛ there's good news and bad news. ❜

❛ the only way humans have ever figured out of getting somewhere is to leave something behind. ❜

❛ you have to leave something behind. ❜

❛ we don't have much time! ❜

❛ you goddamn fool. ❜

❛ everybody on earth is going to die! ❜

❛ take it slow. remember you're no spring chicken anymore. ❜

❛ you were extremely lucky. ❜

❛ there's no ghost. ❜

❛ you know that's not scientific. ❜

❛ you say science is about admitting what we don't know. ❜

❛ start minding your business. ❜

❛ figure it out. i'm not always going to be here to help you. ❜

❛ murphy's law doesn't mean bad stuff will happen. it means whatever can happen, will happen. ❜

❛ almost got it. don't stop. ❜

❛ how long you think it's been up there? ❜

❛ what are you going to do with it? ❜

❛ couldn't we just let it go? it's not hurting anyone. ❜

❛ this thing has to adapt, just like the rest of us. ❜

❛ am i gonna be mad? ❜

❛ you don't believe we went to the moon? ❜

❛ our children need to learn about this planet, not tales of leaving it. ❜

❛ i, uh... got you suspended.❜

❛ you should come take a look, it's kinda weird. ❜

❛ been working on it, like you said. ❜

❛ we've forgotten who we are. explorers, pioneers. ❜

❛ this world isn't so bad. ❜

❛ you're the one who doesn't belong. born forty years too late, or forty years too early. ❜

❛ we used to look up and wonder at our place in the stars. now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt. ❜

❛ you were good at something and never got a chance to do anything with it. i'm sorry. ❜

❛ popcorn at a ball game is unnatural. i want a hot dog. ❜

❛ what's a hot dog? ❜

❛ i think that's great. ❜

❛ you think that's great? ❜

❛ what's important is how you feel about it. ❜

❛ i like what you do. ❜

❛ you wanna clean that up when you're finished praying to it? ❜

❛ you can't leave me behind! ❜

❛ you don't know what you're going to find. ❜

❛ that's why i can't take you. ❜

❛ you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me. ❜

❛ fair enough. make yourself useful. ❜

❛ i think this is as far as we get. ❜

❛ you didn't bring the bolt cutters? ❜

❛ i like your spirit. ❜

❛ don't be afraid. ❜

❛ how did you find this place? ❜

❛ you had the coordinates for this facility marked on your map. where did you get them? ❜

❛ how did you find us? ❜

❛ you think you can flirt your way out of this mess? ❜

❛ i'll tell you anything you want to know. okay? ❜

❛ it's not that simple. ❜

❛ i don't know anything about you or this place. ❜

❛ you're sitting in the world's best kept secret — you don't stumble in. and you certainly don't stumble out. ❜

❛ please. cooperate with these people. ❜

❛ don't you know who we are? ❜

❛ we'll find a way. we always have. ❜

❛ tell me this is where you explain how you're going to save the world. ❜

❛ we're not meant to save the world... we're meant to leave it. ❜

❛ you're the best we ever had. ❜

❛ this is the mission you were trained for. ❜

❛ an hour ago, you didn't even know i was still alive. ❜

❛ we had no choice. ❜

❛ something brought you here. ❜

❛ they chose you. ❜

❛ how long would i be gone? ❜

❛ get out there and save them. ❜

❛ where does it lead? ❜

❛ someone placed it there. ❜

❛ whoever they are, they appear to be looking out for us. ❜

❛ it came along right as we needed it. ❜

❛ so if we find a new home, what then? ❜

❛ we just give up on the people here? ❜

❛ almost? you're asking me to hang everything on an almost? ❜

❛ i'm asking you to trust me. ❜

❛ all those years of training — you never told me. ❜

❛ we can't always be open about everything, even if we want to be. ❜

❛ find us a new home. ❜

❛ you have my word. ❜

❛ go! if you're leaving, just go! ❜

❛ this world was never enough for you, was it? ❜

❛ i'm not gonna lie to you — heading out there is what i feel i was born to do and it excites me. ❜

❛ don't trust the right thing done for the wrong reason. ❜

❛ the 'why' of a thing? that's the foundation. ❜

❛ next year ain't gonna save us. nor the one after. ❜

❛ this world's a treasure. but she's been telling us to leave for a while now. ❜

❛ mankind was born on earth. it was never meant to die here. ❜

❛ you have to talk to me. ❜

❛ i have to fix this before i go. ❜

❛ once we're parents, we're just the ghosts of our children's futures. ❜

❛ you said ghosts don't exist. ❜

❛ you don't believe me?! ❜

❛ i'm coming back. ❜

❛ one for you. one for me. ❜

❛ when i get back we'll compare. ❜

❛ you and me. imagine that... ❜

❛ you have no idea when you're coming back. ❜

❛ don't make me leave like this. ❜

❛ i love you. forever. and i'm coming back. ❜

❛ look after our place, you hear? ❜

❛ its hard. leaving everything. ❜

❛ we're going to spend a lot of time together... ❜

❛ we should learn to talk. ❜

❛ just trying to be honest. ❜

❛ maybe you don't need to be that honest. ❜

❛ absolute honesty isn't always the most diplomatic, or safe form of communication with emotional beings. ❜

❛ we'll be waiting when you get back. ❜

❛ do not go gentle into that good night. ❜

❛ don’t be jealous. ❜

❛ you got a lucky pair of undies? what makes them lucky? ❜

❛ wouldn’t you love to find out? ❜

❛ you look good. ❜

❛ this is sort of a promotion for me. ❜

❛ we are violating the laws of physics. ❜

❛ through wrath will come justice. ❜

❛ no escape this time. ❜

❛ we’ve got to be close. let’s keep looking. ❜

❛ i thought i saw something. ❜

❛ identify yourself. ❜

❛ show me your hands! ❜

❛ what the fuck is that? ❜

❛ we’re safe now. you’re gonna be just fine. ❜

❛ what’s going on? ❜

❛ are you fucking crazy? ❜

❛ that’s what i’m trying to tell you. ❜

❛ we have a situation. ❜

❛ we need to get out of here! ❜

❛ we need to find the others. ❜

❛ i’m not playing anymore! ❜

❛ nice shooting. ❜

❛ you’re alive! thank god! you’re here. ❜

❛ will you please try again? ❜

❛ well, i can’t just sit here. ❜

❛ i’m sorry, but i can’t let you leave. ❜

❛ what do you mean, you can’t let me leave? ❜

❛ no one’s allowed to leave. ❜

❛ you will reveal whatever i damn well ask you to reveal. ❜

❛ if the human race wants to live on, it has to find a new home. ❜

❛ it doesn’t take a fucking genius to figure it out. ❜

❛ don’t be ridiculous. ❜

❛ this was just a setback. ❜

❛ did you just call what happened today a setback? ❜

❛ this is not your decision. ❜

❛ i will not allow it! ❜

❛ faith costs nothing. ❜

❛ any chance i can get something to drink? ❜

❛ can you open the door? ❜

❛ what are you looking for? maybe i can be of assistance. ❜

❛ get out of the way! ❜

❛ stay with me. ❜

❛ you said you couldn’t remember. ❜

❛ we’re stuck here. ❜

❛ if we’re gonna die, i would rather go down fighting. ❜

❛ i might not be a scientist, but i’m not an idiot. ❜

❛ that’s not exactly how it happened. ❜

❛ i’m sure you’ve got your side of the story. ❜

❛ we all make mistakes. i certainly do. ❜

❛ i never said that. ❜

❛ i remember everything. ❜

❛ you have your orders. i have mine. ❜
