"Standing out here is like begging for a bull's-eye." " Quiet." " You sure you can do this?" "Sure." "It's just like the old gym lockers." "Well, almost." "DARSTAR:" "Try 66." "The sphere better be in there, or you're maimed." "Just turn the dial to 66, and you'll have it." " Sixty-six." " Hey!" "(RATTLING)" "Hi, Bodhi." "See, I told you he was here." " No." "I said forget going back." " So what are we gonna do, stay here?" " I'd rather go back to the desert." " And die of thirst?" " I'd rather go back to the desert." " And die of thirst?" "There has got to be a place to go." "Well, until you're ready to show us, O earth mother..." " I think we should make it." " Make what?" " Make our own place to live." " METRON:" "Make it out of what, Daniel?" "Blink your eyes and take a look at the real world out there, 'cause it's a very ugly place." " Bodhi will help us." " Bodhi got us here." "Metron, you should have stayed at the orphanage." " Hey, Terra." " No, I'm serious!" "You had a future with the Protectorate." "You should've stayed." "(DOOR SLAMS)" "(PEOPLE CHATTERING)" "We found your owl." "I'm sorry it got killed." " We buried it." " I know." "Why did you take the sphere?" "'Cause I thought it would do magic for me, like it did for you." "It's not simple magic." "It's something else." "So, what are you gonna do now?" "You gonna stay here?" "For now, anyway." " What about you?" " I don't know." "We can't decide." "Maybe it's been decided for you." "Come on." "(SHOUTING)" "Spread out!" "Come on, move it!" "DARSTAR:" "Come on, up the ramp!"

" No!" "Bodhi!" "Bodhi!" "JASON:" "Head for the tires." " Hop in." "Come on, Daniel." " Get in." " That's it." "Climb all the way to the back." " Hurry up!" "Hurry up!" " All the way to the back." "Let's go." " TUG:" "Let's go." "(TUG YELLING)" " This better work!" " Bye, Daniel!" "(METRON YELLING)" "JASON:" "Don't let go, Daniel!" "(DANIEL YELLING)" "(PEOPLE CLAMORING)" "Darstar!" "(GROANS)" " You all right?" " Yeah." " Rabbit, man." " You okay?" "Yeah." " Where's Terra?" " I don't know." " Terra." " I thought she was behind you." " No, she wasn't with..." " No, she... (EXPLOSION)" " JASON:" "Terra!" " Jas, wait!" "Jason!" "Terra!" "Terra!" "Terra!" "The place just exploded." "Maybe she got out another way." "Yeah." "She was slick on her wheels." "Real quick." "Congratulations, Strictor." " Now let's see what you can do." " Our analysis will take a little time." "But I'll do everything I can to see you're not bored." "(LAUGHING)" "Not to worry." "It's only a live boy-o they pay for." "Ain't that right, old dog?" "That's what the E-Piggies want." "Live young lads." "Make a man's day." "(BOTH SINGING)" "(GRUNTS)" "Only one." "Only a lonely one." "Not to worry." "(CHUCKLES)" "(GASPING)" "Water." "Water!" " Who flashes water like that?" " DOGGER:" "Wait!" "Wait." "We'll barter some." "Did you hear?" "We'll barter for what you've got." "Bring it here." " Let's go!" " No." "We've got value here." "We don't want to lose it." "It's only a lithe and little one." "Let's go!" "(SNICKERING)" " Nothing here." " Are you sure about that?" " Take a better look." " Terra." "DANIEL:" "Terra!" "JASON:" "Terra." " TERRA:" "Jason." " All right, Terra!" "(DANIEL LAUGHS)" "TERRA:" "Daniel, I missed you." "JASON:" "Terra, I can't believe this." "DANIEL:" "You're okay." "How'd you get out?" "After all your hard work, we couldn't let you go off empty-handed, boys." "No." "Hey, you forgot your boot." "(ALL LAUGHING)" " Hey, take it easy, fellas." " Bye." "Yeah, take it easy." "Just get a suntan." "(TERRA LAUGHS)" " Wait till you see this." " Hey, where are you taking us?" "(LAUGHS)" " What is this place?" " This is where I live." "Water!" "(WHOOPING)" " It's water!" " Water!" "Tug, come on, there's more." "Come on." "Hey, look." "Water comes right out of the rock." "No, it comes from here." "This is called ice." "Thousands of years ago, a giant glacier was trapped under a lava flow." "As it melts, it feeds the springs that make our oasis." "This is Greentree." "He's my father." " Your father?" "This is..." " From the picture." "These are my friends." "This is Jason." " Jason." " Hello." " And Rabbit." " Rabbit." " This is Metron." " Metron." "Tug." "And the little one over there, that's Daniel." "(BLEATING)" "I'm glad to meet Terra's family." "Now you're my family, too." "This is your home." "Come on." " Her father?" " Her father?" "METRON:" "I don't understand." "Why doesn't the Protectorate take over here like everyplace else?" "This place is our secret and must be kept." "So have you stopped fighting?" "The Eco-wars took a great toll." "Terra's mother was taken prisoner and killed." "Our numbers were cut." "By now, the Eco-warriors are only a rumor." "But there are new generations." "Our survival is our victory." "By some extraordinary luck, our people found Terra and she's here." "We're all here to stay." "Bodhi doesn't call anymore." "Maybe the E-Police have..." "Are we just gonna give up, Jason?" "No." "What are we gonna do?" "I never told you this, but Bodhi..." "He showed me something." "We were headed for this place that we still haven't found." "So it's not over, Daniel." "So you keep listening." "Listen real hard, so Bodhi will know you're trying to hear him." "(BODHI CRYING)" "We've reached an apparent null." "I'll reduce the power." "Just keep cooking it." "I'm so happy here." "We're all gonna be very happy here." "Terra, I know what you've found here." "I do." " But the rest of us, we gotta move on." " No." "We left the orphanage with a purpose." "To find Daniel." "And now Daniel's safe." "We're all safe." "This is our home." "Bodhi's gone." "It's gone." "I can't believe you're saying that." "It's just better forgotten." "What do you mean, forgotten?" "What do you know?" "Come on, Terra." "Come on, Terra." "We've all oathed each other that there'd never be secrets." "But I oathed to my father, too." "And that means more?" "Where's the sphere?" "His men said that they took it to the Protectorate aqua bunker." " The what?" " The aqua bunker." "It's where they control the water." "Jason, they're gonna destroy it." " Well, it won't happen." " What?" "You heard me." "I said it won't be destroyed." "Hey, hey, wait a minute." "Wait." "It's stupid to go like this." "Terra, this is our choice." "We made the decision and we're going." "Well, then maybe this will help." " Plans to the aqua bunker." " Let's go." "Come on." "All right!" "METRON:" "Awesome." "RABBIT:" "Are you sure we've got the right place?" "Bodhi." "Enough." "It's ready." "SHANDRAY:" "The fusion lasers have greatly weakened the surface shield." "Now it gets interesting." "We lock it down and disembowel it." "It's all yours." "Gentlemen, this is Terminack." "He's a multi-capable masterpiece." "He can squeeze the color from a ruby, or deftly pluck the eye from a living bird." "And he's been programmed to enjoy what he does." "Terminack can actually see the molecular structure." "He'll find the flaw and punch home." "(GRUNTING)" "(GRUNTS)" "Ah!" "He's in." "Gates." "Main gates." "Ow." " He's got the gates." "Let's go." " (LAUGHING) Yeah!" "All right." "(DOGS BARKING)" "Dogs, huh?" "(GROWLING)" "E" " COP:" "Hey, what are you doing down there?" "Come on, let's get him." "Say hello to Sparky." "(SCREAMING)" " Where's Daniel?" " He's coming." "Come on!" " JASON:" "Daniel, hurry!" " Daniel!" "(EX CLAIMS)" "Okay, let's go." "(BUZZING)" "SHANDRAY:" "Terminack's obviously impressed." "A carbon cobalt bit."
