"Once in a great while, mankind unlocks a secret so profound that our future is altered forever." "Fire." "Electricity." "Splitting the atom." "At the dawn of the 31st century, we unlocked another." "It had the potential to change humanity's role in the universe." "We called it the titan project, and it was a testament to the limitless power of the human imagination." "Perhaps that is what the drej feared most, for it brought them down upon us without warning and without mercy." "Cale, that day, the day the drej descended from the sky, the only thing that mattered was keeping you safe." "Perfect!" "Hey, stop!" "Come on!" "Cale, are you all right?" "I'm okay." "Dad, my invention broke." "Well, then, we'll fix it together, but not today, cale." "We have to go now." "Dad, where's everybody going?" "We're leaving too." "We all have to go somewhere safe." "Professor Tucker!" "The drej have reached the global defense system!" "Come on, son." "Will we get the people away in time?" "Not if we sit here talking, sir." "I wanna drive." "When you're older, kid." "I'm older than four." "Hang on!" "Whoa!" " Please proceed to your designated-- - is the titan prepped?" "Just waiting for you, sir!" "Intelligence says the drej don't know the titan's location, or we would've been hit already." "Let's pray they're right!" "Enemy warships have entered earth's solar system." "Are we going in that?" " Wow!" " Cale," "I have to go on a different ship." "I have to go away for a while." "No, dad!" "No!" "Tek is going to look after you." "But I wanna go with you!" "Sir-- I know." "It's not safe where I'm going." "Sir!" "Professor!" "I don't care." "All right, I'm coming!" "Cale, here." "Take this." "As long as you wear it, there's hope." "I will see you again." "I promise." "Okay." "Cale, it's time." "Cale-- no, it's not okay!" "It's not okay!" " Tek, keep him safe!" " Daddy!" "Korso, go!" "Come back!" "Evacuate!" "Evacuate!" "Godspeed, Sam Tucker!" "Attention, pilots." "Drej stingers are" "This is Tucker." "Bring me down." "Attention, pilots." "Drej stingers are attacking the escape vehicles." "Okay." "Are we all here?" "Bobby, buckle up." " Now, Sam." "Now!"

"I'd just like them to kill my food before they serve it to me." "I do an honest day's work." "I want already dead food." "Is that too much to ask?" "Do you hear a crackling sound?" "And what was up with chowquin?" "You should've seen him." "Ha-ha, not much chance of that." "He was so out of control, treating' me like I'm some" "Human?" "Don't start with that solidarity thing again." " If you would study human history as instructed," "You might realize you're not alone out there, and you'd be better prepared for the future." "I'll tell you somethin' about your famous future." "Every day I wake up, it's still the present, the same grimy, boring present." "I don't think this future thing exists." "Do you hear a crackling sound?" "Here we go." "We gotta get outta this dump." "Hold on, everybody!" "I got it!" "Please don't panic." "Just think of it as floating time." "Two seconds." "Everybody calm." "Just needed some love." "Let's get back to eating', baby." "Rap, indistinct ]" "Okay." "Well, I'm full." "Hey, cale." "Firrikash." "Po, how's it floating'?" "You pulled a nasty stunt back there." "We don't like your attitude." "You've been a little uppity." "Up-up-- is that so?" "Well." "I'm gonna have to work on that." "You wanna hunt humans, We travel in packs." " What are you doing?" " It's commonly known as helping." "Yeah?" "Well, what for?" "Sometimes, kid, people just help each other out." "Right." "So you're gonna tell me you don't want something in return?" " All right." "Maybe I do." " What a shock." "I want you to risk your life." "I want you to give up everything you have to join the mission, where you'll face terror and torture and possibly gruesome death." "And I would wanna do that because?" "Because it's worth it." "Because the human race needs you." "Maybe you haven't had a look around lately, but there aren't many of us left." "At the rate we're going, they'll be reading about us in textbooks and displaying our bones in alien museums." "Yeah, well, having your planet blown up can have that effect." "But maybe I've been wrong all these years, and it took your inspiring speech to make me see." "You've really changed me." "It's beautiful." "I think we've gotta hug." "Man." "They've really ground you down." "Hey, get this straight." "I don't even know you." "I don't want any part of your mission," " and I don't need your help with these oversized morons." "Okay." " I think he called you morons." " Whoa!" " Korso." "Captain, this is akima." "We are not alone." "Are we in good company?" "That's a negative, captain." "I think we've fallen in with a very bad crowd." "Roger that." "Let's prep for departure." "Tek, I need to be scarce for a while." "You don't know the half of it." "Ha-ha." "Are you still bothering people?" "Hey, go away." "Great job with the kid, tek." "He's a charmer." "I expected you to take him off my hands a lot sooner." "Tek, wait." "Who is this?" "You know him?" "Joseph korso." "I was with your father on the titan project." "My father." "I don't have a father." "You brought this guy here?" "Yes." "I don't understand." "Why?" "You still got that ring your father gave you?" "Give it to me." "Hey, give it back!" "Cale-- Shh." "Here." "Put it on." "How did-- how did you-- it's a storage device." "It's genetically encrypted to your father, and therefore to you." "It's a map, cale." "It can tell us where your father hid the titan." "That's why I've spent the last 15 years lookin' for ya." "That ship means everything." "Humanity depends on you finding it." "Me?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Me?" "No, no, no." "I'm not-- tek, listen, there must be someone better." "It's time, cale." "It's time to stop running." "Well, actually," "I think it's time to start." "Drej." "What do they want?" "They want you, kid." "Same way I want you, only dead." "How do you know they want me dead?" "I'm convinced." "We gotta get to the kitchen." "Korso, the gravity drive!" "You ready?" "Tek, I'll lead you in." "I'll stay here." "Tek, you can't." "Take care of the kid." "He's not all grown up yet." "No, no, no, no." "You're coming." "Go, cale." "I'll read about you." "Follow me!" "Whoa!" " Well, this would be good if we had any baking to do." "My food!" "You guys are-- you're terrible." "You're unsanitary." "Ooh, I hope that they catch you, and I'll testify against you, and you'll never get out of jail." " Hey, you'll get all the ketchup you want." " Drej!" "Ooh, I gotta go now." " Follow ugly!" "Great." "Yeah, no one would ever think of looking for us in the vent." "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "He's the big-- I'm not supposed to be here!" "Come on!" "I'm just a cook!" "How do I get out of here?" "How do I get out?" "Why is this happening to me?" "Stupid-- Please-- Stupid-- no!" "Hi." "They went right down there." "They came into my kitchen and" "Bull's-eye." "We gotta get outta here." "Go!" "Go!" "Run!" "Over." "Maybe next time, kid." "Hey, I can fly it too." "It won't start." "I got an idea." "Give it a shot." "Whoa!" "Hang on, kid." "I'm comin'." "**" "Heads up!" "They're locking down the doors!" "Not going forward." "Going up." "Up?" "**" "Move it!" "You should brace yourself." "Yeah." "I'm feeling that." "Eject." "Hey, where's the eject?" "Cale?" "Cale?" "This model does have eject, right?" "And you were worried." "What do you mean, "were"?" " Akima, we need a pickup." " A little late for that." " I'm right above you." "Can you get to me?" " Not enough time." "Not-not-- Not a lot of time." "Exhale." "You gotta be kidding." " Exhale." " No, no, no, no!" "** * come back down to earth yeah * * come back down to earth come back down to earth * * yeah come back down to earth **" "Is it dead?" "Can we eat it?" "No, it's not dead." "Who are you?" "Go away." "Hey, what's going on?" "Preed, you're in my light." "Such motherly concern for the subject." " Why am I naked?" " Why, you positively glow with maternal warmth, akima." "It's very fetching." "I must have you." "In your dreams." "Akrennians don't dream, remember?" " They don't bathe much, either." " I'm still naked here." "I hadn't noticed." "Now, hold still, or you'll lose something really important." "Hand me the probe." "The probe?" "wh-where does the probe go?" "You know, I'm really feeling much better." "Aah!" "Hey!" "This is just great." "Cross half the galaxy, nearly get our butts shot off by the drej, just so we can rescue the window washer." "Hey, for your information, I happen to be humanity's last great hope." " I weep for the species." " You're fine." "I mean, I'm the guy with the map here." "This is big medicine, right?" "Big medicine?" "Let me see." "This is really it?" "This can save us?" "Yeah, I guess." " Do you know what this means?" "Um, I'm really wanting those pants right about now." "Akima, my pet, if the boy isn't at death's door, korso wants gune to check the map so we can set a course." "Do you mind?" "Are we through pawing?" "This is the valkyrie, not a singles bar." "We're done." "You know, I never said I was gonna help you guys." "We never addressed what's in it for me." "Why, you get to be a hero." "A hero?" "Come on." "I mean, there must be something on the titan worth selling or trading or" "What?" "We're gonna risk our necks to help a bunch of drifter colony bums?" "Where are my pants?" " Guess where akima grew up." " Drifter colony?" "Yes." "The boy learns." "Wait." "What's your" "Preed, wait up!" "Look." "Where's korso?" "I wanna talk to him." "I believe he's in navigation." "We're headed there now." "You wanna watch who you're steppin' on." "Or you'll what?" "The lovely and talented stith." "This is cale." "You remember-- cale." "No, no, no, no, no." "Cannot talk." "We lost targeting on one of our aft gun turrets again!" "What?" "Think this is a pleasure cruise?" "She's a sweet little thing." "Weapons specialist." "Normally, she's very good-natured." "Great!" "Things aren't bad enough!" " Tools all over the floor!" " Fight the good fight, precious." "Preed, I'll kill you." "Okay?" "I will kill you." "I am educated and well-read!" "I am not a mechanic!" "I have my pride!" "Gune?" "Guney?" "Are you in there?" "By the acceleration, multiplied by the coefficient of the friction and apply necessary force." "Gune?" "Ooh." "Look at that." "Does this look familiar?" "Do you know what it is?" "Neither do I. I made it last night in my sleep." "Apparently, I used gindrogac-- highly unstable." "Gune." "I put a button on it, yes." "I wish to press it, but I'm not sure what will happen if I do." "Let me see, now." "Three, five, twenty-two, seventy-four, eleven" "No." "Careful." "It's perfect." "Ho, yes!" "Hey." "Perfect!" "You fixed it!" "So, where are we now?" "We are here, right here-- Bellasan quadrant." "About three million keks from tau 14." "Why?" "Are you homesick?" "Gotta have a home for that." "Translucent bipedal mesomorphic embryonic male." "Yes, yes, yes." "This is all very fascinating, but take a look at this." "It's a map." "Can you read it?" "Can I read it?" "Of course I can read it." "Yes." "So, what do you see?" "Yes, this is pl'ochda." "And this-- this-- this is... solbrecht!" "And this-- and this-- And this-- what is this?" "That's-- that's lunch." "What's lunch?" "Spaghetti derivative, meatballs-- sort of, anyway-- and caldoch droppings." "Who ate it before you did?" "Hey, hey!" "Tell you a secret." "This guy's nuts." "Tell you another." "He's never wrong." "Where are we going, gune?" "The broken moon of sesharrim." "Only 13,000 keks away." "Have akima lay in a course." "We're on our way." "What's on sesharrim, anyway?" "The gauol, an ancient race." "Great." "This isn't a joyride, kid." "When the drej destroyed earth, they figured life adrift in space would break us down, wipe us out." "Do you really want those vile creatures to be right?" "Just lay down and die?" "A little late." "About 15 years too late to save the humans." "But it's not like we didn't have a good run." "It's not about a good run." "It's about our survival." "See, the titan was truly visionary, the most advanced ship in the universe." "That ship has the power to reunite the human race, to give us a home." "And the only way to find it is in your hand." "So, you're really counting on me, then?" "We all are." "Well, if I don't like the way things are going," "I'll show you how much like my father I really am." "I'll leave." "No place to set down on the island." "Land on that coral reef." "We'll take the sled, see if we can locate the gauol." "Preed, you and gune watch the ship." "Watch the ship?" " And keep the engines hot." " Yes." "They'll be nice and toasty." "I'm not keen on the drej catching me with my trousers down." "Welcome to planet sesharrim, cale." "It stinks." "Hydrogen trees." "Clip one of those, and we'll be blown to steaming bits." "Hello?" "Anybody here?" "We're looking for the gauol." "Now, what exactly do the gauol look like?" "Don't know." "They don't get out much." "We have a kid with a map here that you guys should know about." "I think we know what happened to the gauol." "Open fire on five." " We'll clear a path to the sled." "Everybody ready?" "One, two" "Wait." "No, no." "Stop." "I think they are the gauol." "**" "Yeah!" "Quick little devil." "** Okay, all I have to do is tap into the central computer, and we can figure the departure protocols." "Yes." "Making progress." "Yes, I'm making progress." "Wait, wait." "Ooh." "**" "The moon, the moon, the moon." "Right, yeah." "That's how we knew to come here." "My father made a map with that moon on it." "Why?" "Is the ship hidden there?" "It must be somewhere in the andali nebula." "We did it, kid." "The titan is as good as ours." "He must have been here, standing here." "Right here." "Who?" "My father." "Go!" "Let's move it!" "We've gotta get to the beach!" "Akima!" "Why aren't they shooting at cale?" "They want him alive." "Come on, guys." "Pick it up." "Pick it up." "Nice catch." "Pull up!" "Pull up!" "Preed, come in!" "Preed, where are you?" "Hold on!" "Preed, come in!" "Preed!" "Preed, preed, preed!" "Aren't you supposed to be watching for the drej?" "Yes, caveman, that's right." "Drej bad." "We good." " Now, go look at something shiny for a while." "How's this?" "Well, you'd better look again!" "Drej!" "Aah!" "Captain, we're on our way." "Where are you?" "We're in the hydrogen trees being chased by the drej." "See if you can spot them, quick!" "Look there!" " Akima!" " Hang on!" "Nice move." "Get down!" "Come on." "Show yourselves." "Get down!" "Cale!" "I got 'em." "Whoa!" "Preed, look!" "There they are!" "No." "Hang on, akima!" "Don't shoot!" "Don't shoot!" "They've got cale!" "Gune, calculate their trajectory." "Stith, take weapons." "Let's get on it, people." "Nice job covering our butts, preed." "You're the weapons expert." "What were you doing?" "Taking a nap?" "Enough!" "Okay, the drej took cale." "But they are not gonna get away with it." "Well, let's quit running our collective mouths and go get him." "Our only chance to locate them is to track akima." "Stith, get on it." "They're gonna use you to figure out where the titan is." "Probably just blow it up, too, when they find it." "Yeah, well, who's to say it would've worked, anyway?" "Who's to say it won't?" "Maybe korso will get to the titan first." "Why do you care so much about that thing?" "I was raised around people." ""Drifter colony bums," I believe, is the term." "I barely remember earth, but the older ones used to tell us about it so it would never be completely lost." "No matter how hard things got-- And they were hard" "Those memories kept us going." "Once, we had a home." "The titan is our chance to find one again." "I guess that's how I ended up here." "What are they afraid of?" "So what did the human race ever do to the drej?" "It's not what we did." "They're afraid of what we might become." "Yeah, well, looks like we're becoming extinct." "Cale, you okay?" "Akima!" "Cale!" "Cale!" "No!" "Stop!" "Leave her alone!" "Akima!" "No!" "**" "Akima's signal is getting stronger." "I think it's coming from the slave cages." "A drej pod." " What's in it?" " A human." "She's mine." "I saw her first." "Pretty." "All right." "I'll take out the guard." "Easy, big girl." "This requires cunning and deception." "Hello." "I'm an akrennian trader." "I wonder if we might sneak a peek at the new shipment before they go on the market." "You're not allowed." "Traditionally, no." "You're absolutely right." "But you see, I need a new slave rather badly." "Stop fidgeting, worm!" "And I can't wait till auction." "I have to be on the shuttle." "I have an appointment to have my ear shaved." "It's has to be booked months in advance." "You see my problem." "You're lying." "He's not a slave, and you're not traders." "But-- he doesn't carry himself like a slave." "Look at the way he stands." "Probably ex-military." "How" "Akrennian traders always threaten before they ask a favor." "It's tradition." "And your robes are made out of bedspreads." "Just out of curiosity, did we have a plan "b"?" "An intelligent guard." "Didn't see that one coming." "Whoa." "This is it." "Are you in there?" "Well, if it isn't the captain." "What kept you?" "Do you see anything?" "It was really small, like a cocoon or something." "No, no, no." "Nothing like that." "No." "I do see something." "No." "Just a drej ship." "Drej!" "What?" "Where?" "I'm on it." "I'm on it." "I'm on it." "Korso, we have a problem." "You'd better get up here." "I'm here." "I'm here." "What's the problem?" "Stith, let's go." "All right." "All right." "I've locked on to him, sir." "Gune, look out for his buddy." "There's only one." "He's all alone." "Just one." "Three, five, twenty-two" "Three, five, twenty-two, seventy-four, eleven." " Cale!" " Die, drej scumball!" "Don't-- No, don't shoot." "Guys" " Come on." "It's me!" " It's cale!" " Cale!" " Stith, hold your fire!" "Oops." "Akima, open the cargo bay." "Cale!" "The boy is not dead." "This is cause for happiness." "So, um-- How did you escape?" "He got lucky." "You know, we were just about to rescue you." "Yeah?" "Well, thanks." "Anytime." "Look, they copied the map." " I'm sure they're heading for the titan now." "They won't find it." "Stations, people." "Yes." "Going, going." "Akima?" "Um, what happened?" "How'd you get back?" "I got picked up with the trash." "Luckily, korso got there before I ended up as a door prize in some alien freak show." "I guess I owe him one." "You know, we both got real lucky back there." "But next time around-- Cale." "Come on." "Gune needs a hand." "Yes, the map is good." "The map is different." "Yes, the map is clear." " Yes, it's very, very clear." " Ooh." "Take it easy." "This outer marking is pulsing." "The distal phalangial meridian." "Gune, what do you make of it?" "Past outer quadrant." "This is the ice rings of tigrin." "Right here." "Easy to get lost in there." "Good hiding place." "What?" "Wake angels." "They follow ships into deep space, glide on the energy wake." "They're supposed to be good luck." "They're like ghosts." "Sit down." "Why don't you give 'em a run?" "You sure about that?" "'Course I'm sure." "Okay." "* it's my time to fly" "* I'm proving ground tonight *" "* I'll try to be the best that I can * yeah." "You got it." "Open her up." "Give these angels something to chase." "All right." "Try this, guys." "* it's my time to fly * my father will be with me tonight * * ooh * we're right on target * it's my time to fly * my father will be with us tonight * * a chance tonight" "** * to victory * dreams become reality * reality * it's my time to fly * my father will be with me tonight * * ooh, I'm right on target * it's my time to fly" "* my father will be with us tonight * * it's my time to fly * my father will be with me tonight * * ooh, we're right on target * it's my time to fly * my father will be with me tonight *" "* ooh * we're right on target *" "Thank you." "I knew you could handle this old bird." "No, I mean, thank you for" "Thank you for trying to find me." "It's more than my father ever did." "Your father was a great man, cale." "He would've been proud of ya." "You really think so?" "Trust me." "Thanks." "Thanks." "You know, I-- I miss him." "Me too." "Akima?" "Akima?" "Sorry." "In or out?" "In." "**" "What's going on?" "Do you know why we stopped?" "Pit stop for the basics." "Drifter colony's the best place to pick up plasma packs, fuel cells, frozen burritos." "Listen." "I need to talk to you, and" "Where'd you get all this junk?" "Not junk." "Why don't you come with me?" "I'll show you." "So, we're gonna barter this stuff for more of that earth junk?" "Don't you get it, cale?" "That junk is all that's left of the place we came from." "It reminds us of all the things we miss." "Miss." "Like those frozen burritos you were talking about." "At least they don't jump off your plate." "You think this is some game?" "Did you forget the plan?" "I get you the titan, I get rich." "We had a deal, right?" "How dare you try to cut me out like that?" "Yeah?" "Do as you please, and guess what." "You'll retrieve nothing." "You don't have the whole map." "The kid's got it." "And I've got the kid." "So you keep your drones off my back, or so help me, I'll rip his heart out." "Cale, come on." "Going somewhere?" "Two little birdies itchy to fly." "How long were they standing there?" "Long enough." "You lied?" "Everything you said?" "Everything you told me?" "Not everything." "Your father hid his ship, then the drej killed him, all because he couldn't face the truth." "Yeah?" "What is the truth?" "That the human race is out of gas." "It's circling' the drain." "It's finished." "The only thing that matters is grabbing' what you can before somebody else beats you to it." "No, I don't believe that!" "Then you're even more like your father than I thought:" "A fool." "Cale!" " Akima, come on!" " Stop them." "Stay on 'em." "I'll lock it down." " Hurry!" " Go!" "Go!" "Akima!" "Akima?" "Let's go." "We got a ship to find." "Let's get airborne, now." "Where's cale and akima?" "They're not coming." "Why not?" "Because they're afraid." "Afraid?" "What exactly are they afraid of?" "They're afraid of what might happen if my command was ever questioned." "Get it?" "Got it." "Got a problem with that?" "No." "Why they not say good-bye to gune?" "Go get a blanket, quickly." "She needs warmth." "Something to keep her warm." "You, go get a doctor." " Yeah." "Hurry." " Cover her." "Yes, yes." "What did you tell him?" "I asked him to bring corn liquor." "No." "Really, I don't need it." "Ha!" "Not for you." "For boy." "Me?" "He pass out soon." "She'll be fine." "She just needs rest." "Don't worry." "She'll be fine." "Hey!" "It's his favorite thing in the world" "That stupid ball." "It was our dad's back on earth." "Every time he kicks that thing, my brother thinks he's in a big grass field." "That's some imagination." "Yeah, well-- there." "He had a little help." "See what I mean?" "That's him-- our dad." "That's where my brother got the idea." "Here on the colony, most people got to shut their eyes to see anything other than rusted spaceship hulls." "Not my brother." "Later." "**" "Ahem." "Hey." "Sleeping beauty." "How long was I out?" "Not long." "A few hours." "Korso and preed." "I can't believe it." "How long before they reach the titan?" "They won't." "We're gonna beat them to it." "Akima, we're gonna stop them." "Was I seriously injured back there or something, 'cause, funny, I thought you just said we're gonna stop them?" "That's right." "Cale, we're in the middle of nowhere." "There's just the two of us, and, yeah-- we don't have a ship." "We've got a ship." "Really?" "I'd like to see this ship." "Check it out." "No." "Yes." "Well, she's been a great house, but I don't think she'll fly." "Well, she's still got her ionic vacuum drive." "Those never drain." "This thing's a wreck." "I can fix it, but do you think" "Don't worry." "I can fly it." "Good, 'cause we launch yesterday."

"One, zero." "Yeah, right." "She'll start." "I'd lean back if I were you." "Should I get out and push?" "Whoa!" "Ha." "Told ya." "Okay." "You did your job." "Now let me do mine." "These collisions keep slowing us down." "So where is it?" "My scanners are picking up a cornucopia of nothing." "Just find it!" "Gune, are you sure about that map?" "You give me map." "I follow map." "What more can gune do?" " If Professor screwloose led us off course, I'm going to-- - hold it!" "What is it?" "A ship." "Three keks east." "Drej?" "No." "Human craft heading for the break zone." "Fast." " How fast?" " I'd say recklessly fast." " Akima." " Good!" "Akima." "Cale." "I hail on communicator." "No hailing." "Just follow them." "Okay." "I follow, but I plot new route through safer quadrant." "If we" "We're going to follow them," "And we'll run silent." "The reflections are throwing my readings off." "Akima, I think we're getting closer." "Cale!" "It's korso." "He's right behind us." "What?" "We've got to lose him." "We'll never find them in there." "We're going in." "Stith, where are they?" "I can't get a reading." "There's too much ice, too much interference, captain." "Captain." "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "A heat signature." "I see them!" "Where are they?" "Behind us!" "No!" "Where is he?" "I-I don't know." "What?" "Well, we found them, captain." "No more heat readings." "All gone." "Until they make their move, we stay here." "They're moving out, I think." "Now we've got 'em." "I can't move." "They'll see us." "Maybe that's exactly what we want." "A reading!" "Yeah." "They're right in front of us." "You're not gonna get past me, kid." "There, captain!" "That's right, cale." "Keep coming." "Closer." "They're getting closer!" "There she is, captain." "No." "There, captain." "Which one?" "Look!" "They're behind us now!" " Ready lasers!" " I'm on it!" "I need one clear shot." "Don't lose 'em." " Ice!" "Turn back!" " No way." "We'll never make it through." "We don't have a choice." " Akima!" "" " Yes, cale?" "Pull up!" "Shut up!" "Let's not do that again." "Hold it." "Look there." "Akima, turn around." "Turn around!" "**" "That's it." "Wow." "Have you ever seen anything like it?" "Once." "What are we looking for?" "This ship's gonna help us save mankind." "What exactly are we looking for?" "Not a clue." "DNA coding." ""Mammal." "Tursiops truncatus."" "The bottle-nosed dolphin." "These are animals-- Or they will be." ""Leopard." "Papilio glaucus."" "Swallowtail butterfly." "It's all here." "Cale?" "I'm over here!" "Look at this." "Dad." "I could never have done anything like this when I was your age." "I wonder who you take after?" "Whoa!" "Hey." "**" "The titan." "Quick." "Ready to go, captain." "You two stay here." "Preed and I can wrap this up." "But" " Here." "Hold on to this in case there's any trouble." "N-n-n-n-no." "Those two are becoming a problem." "We need to take care of it." "I'm one step ahead of you." "Watch the ship." "I always watch the ship." "I don't know." "This just doesn't feel right." "I wanna go!" "I wanna go!" "Captain said stay." "It's captain I don't trust." "You know, you may be right." "Come on." "Stith here." "Stith, is gune right there with you?" "Yeah." "Then please tell him good-bye for me, won't you?" "What?" "Gune!" " I knew it!" "I knew it!" " Get out of there!" "Cale." "If this message has" "Dad?" "If this message has been activated, then I have died before finding you." "I hope you can forgive me for breaking my promise to see you again." "What I wouldn't give to see you now." "I can't change the past, cale, but I hope I can give you a future." "This ship has the power to create a planet, to create a new home." "Your ring would have activated the transformation sequence, but the titan's power cells were drained in the escape." "They are unable to fuel the transformation." "It is up to you to restore their power." "After that, the procedure is simple." "He always did talk too much." "Korso, don't do this." "This ship is all we have." "Doesn't that mean anything to you?" "Sorry, kid." "World blowing up changes a man." " Look." "The drej" " See, you can't beat the drej." "No one can." "They're pure energy." "Face it, cale." "You've lost." "Actually, you all have." "Captain, if you'll relieve yourself of your firearm" "You backstabbing-- well, I learned from the best." "But it wasn't just the money the drej were offering." "It was the health plan that came with it." "They'd let me live provided I kill all of you before they get here." "They should be here shortly." "Gune?" "Gune?" "Gune!" "Gune, are you all right?" "I'm" " I'm all right f-for business." "Gune." "I'll just take a little nap since I'm so-- Very sleepy." " Preed, you can't trust the drej." " Akima." "Stop!" "There's nothing more tiresome than last-minute heroics!" "Ooh!" "Captain?" "." "Hide 'n' seek, is it?" "Or should we play search and destroy!" "Preed!" "Give me the ring." "Aw." "You're not gonna shoot me, kid." "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "Ooh!" " Cale!" " Aah!" "Hold on!" "You can let go, kid." "I wouldn't blame you." "No!" "I'm not gonna let go!" "Korso!" "Cale!" "The drej!" "You okay?" "Yeah." "Let's not panic." "We've gotta get out of here before the drej arrive." "No, we're gonna stay right here." "Right here is about to be blown apart." "This could be a good thing." "Wait." "Come on, cale!" "Wait." "We can make this work." "What did korso say about the drej?" "That you can't beat them." "Right!" "Because they're pure energy." "If I can reroute the system to use drej energy, that would start the reactor." "The energy relays are linked to these circuit breakers, so this should do it." "Yes!" "Are you sure this will work?" "Come on!" "I can fix this!" "I need to get outside." "Can you and stith cover me?" "I just need a little time." " How much time?" " A few hours!" "What can you do in a few minutes?" " Here they come." " Not if I can help it." " Cale, you're a sitting duck up there." " I'm all right." "Come on!" "Whoo!" " Fantastic." "I only have two guns left." " Let's make 'em count." " Akima, I can't shake 'em." " I've got him." "I'm out!" "Let's do this!" "Whoo!" " Well, guys, it's been fun." " A little help here, akima." "Whoa!" "Cale!" "I finished my nap!" " Gune!" " Who's your daddy?" "Gune's your daddy!" "No!" "No, no, no, no!" " Cale, are you all right?" " I'm pinned." "Stith, who's outside with cale?" " Hi, kid." " It's korso!" "You'll never get a cleaner shot, korso." "Whoa!" "Maybe we can beat 'em after all." "Go ahead." "I'll cover you." "Yeah, yeah." "Right." "Okay." "Great." "Fry, drej!" "They're leaving." "We got a problem." "Go." "They're joining the mother ship." "But the breaker!" "Cale, she's preparing to fire!" "You can't stay out here." "I'll take care of it, so let's move." "Hey, hey!" "Go on." "Get out of here." "Cale, where are you?" "Go." "It's better this way." "Here they come again." "Come on." "Faster." "Faster." "Come on." "Come on." "Ooh." "**" "Whoa!" "This is amazing." "I know." "What are you going to call it?" "I think I'll call it..." "Bob." "Bob?" "You don't like "Bob"?" "You can't call a planet "Bob."" "So now you're the boss." "You're the king of Bob." "Well, no, but-- What?" "Can't you just call it earth?" "Well, no one said you had to live on Bob." "I'm never..." "Calling it that."
