Transcript by @dragonofyang
Summary: Keith reflects on being a Paladin of Voltron and half-Galra, and the struggles he faces.
[Google Doc]
Keith: I’m Keith, the pilot of the Black Lion, or should I say I’m--I’m a paladin. I fly the Black Lion. I-I said that already. See, that’s why I’m bad at this. What else am I supposed to tell you? Okay, um, I guess I’m part Galra.
[Cut to Keith and Hunk in the cockpit of Yellow Lion.]
Hunk: Was y-was your mom the alien? Your grandpa? How Galra are you?
Keith: I don’t know.
Hunk: I get that your society is secret, but is everything a secret?
Keith: Okay, look. It’s bad enough that Allura hates me now, can you just lay off?
Hunk: Allura doesn’t hate you. You just need to give her time to accept the fact that you’re Galra, the race that destroyed her entire planet and all of her people. Yeah, she might hate you a little bit.
[Cut back to Keith in the chair during his vlog.]
Keith: I guess being part Galra is a big deal. Might explain why I was never really good at connecting with people.
[Cut to Lance, Keith, and Hunk in the Castle of Lions on Arus.]
Lance: I say “Vol”, and you say “Tron!” Vol!
Keith: Uh… Voltron?
Lance: No, no, no, no, the cheer includes the instructions. I say “Vol”, and you say…
Keith: Vol...tron?
Lance: We’ll work on it.
[Cut back to Keith in the chair during his vlog.]
Keith: I still don’t understand why I wouldn’t just say “Voltron”. It’s--It’s so much faster. One person says it. Right? Done. I say “Voltron,” and then the chant is over. It doesn’t have to be complicated! I am so sorry. I’m so sorry. I guess I have a bit of a temper, so…
[Cut to Keith on the bridge of the Castle of Lions.]
Keith: Guys, quiet! Coran, where’s the base located?
Coran: In between those three deadly celestial objects.
Pidge: The perfect defensive position.
Allura: Or the perfect trap.
Hunk: Yeah, I’m with Allura. Maybe we shouldn’t, like, go in there at all?
Keith: What are you talking about? We have to go in! This is the whole reason we came out here. There is no other option.
Lance: Okay, jeez, calm down.
[Cut to Keith on Olkarion.]
Keith: You’re no king. Okay, we’re walking outta here. Anyone tries to stop us, and Lubos gets it.
Shiro: Woah! Keith!
Lance: That came outta nowhere!
Lubos: Lesai, what are you doing?
[Cut to the hangar in the Castle of Lions.]
Pidge: I have a pod all ready to go.
Keith: You can’t leave.
Pidge: You can’t tell me what to do!
Keith: If you leave, we can’t form Voltron, and that means we can’t defend the universe against Zarkon. You’re not the only one with a family. You’re putting the lives of two people over the lives of everyone else in the entire galaxy.
Shiro: Keith! That’s not how a team works.
[Cut to the front gates of the Castle of Lions.]
Hunk: Aw!
Keith: Wait, he could be dangerous! Drop your weapon.
Klyzap: No one takes Klyzap’s weapon.
Allura: Keith, put that away.
[Cut to Keith on the bridge of the Castle of Lions.]
Keith: I don’t know why I’m that way. Maybe I’m naturally untrusting because my mom left me and so instead of accepting people into my life, I push them away before they reject me. I guess I have some walls up. I’m--I’m out of here! I’ll--get me out of here. I’m outta here! I said I want to cry!
End.
