""Titan... friend or foe?"" "Today on "confrontation."" "We are joined by general Julius Steel, commander of the military forces that attacked the titan phenomenon." "Phenomenon?" "This thing is an abomination." "But, general, didn't he protect us from that fiery alien thing?" "Perhaps if he didn't bring that thing here, we wouldn't need his protection." "Well, I think he's a hero." "Hero?" "A hero is someone who fought his way through three wars, a man whose every medal is a testament to his devotion to his country and its protection." "There's no way I'll let this alien technological freak and his friends endanger our country." "But, general, even if titan is a danger, like you say, do you really think your army can be effective against him?" "Don't worry about that." "This old dog has a bark or two left." "3... 2..." "1..." "Octus: [ robotic voice ]" "Low-impact missiles fired for tactical drill." "Lance:" "Sym-bionic sword... initiate." "Ilana:" "Sword?" "We need to defend against the missiles."

"Lance:" "We can fly?" "Ilana:" "How did this happen?" "Octus:" "A fluctuation of energy seems to have engaged flight mode." "Lance:" "Let's see how high we can go." "Ilana:" "No, wait." "Let's control it first." "Lance:" "Let's see what it can do." "Ilana:" "No, slow it down." "Lance:" "No, more!" "Octus:" "We are losing stabilization." "System overload." "Ilana:" "Ow." "[ Dog barking ]" "Jacob, it's my turn to hold the leash!" "Nuh-unh, Eva!" "You've been holding it this whole time." "Hi." "We live right around the block, and you just moved in."

"[ Dog whimpers ]" "Now, kids, what do the animal friends say?" "Mm, well, Ellie says that arguing isn't a way to communicate." "Hey, how about we do teamwork?" "Yeah!"

"We need more time to understand its chemical composition before we attempt to open it." "Professor, do you remember your first lab project in high school?" "[ Chuckles ]" "You cut a frog open, you looked inside it to see its guts and how it ticks." "That's all I want you to do." "I want you to cut this frog to see how it ticks so next time we're faced with a giant alien frog, we'll know how to kill it!" "Uh, but I... engage the X-18!" "The X-18 is nuclear-powered, sir." "The ramifications of using something like that on unknown matter... well, there's no telling what could happen." "I don't care!" "That's an order!" "Solomon:" "Steel." "I wouldn't do that if I were you." "Solomon!" "Solomon:" "We've been tracking your rather mysterious maritime geological adventures." "This is a top-secret military exercise." "Get him off that monitor!" "Solomon:" "I'm warning you, general." "You're messing with things beyond your... engage." "Do it!" "[ Electricity crackles ]" "Did we get it?" "Emergency lighting!"

"What?" "What?" "Ilana:" "Yes." "The self-centered general Custer, full of bravado, decided that he had to do it his way and led his army to a horrible crash!" "Lance:" "Well, perhaps we should talk about Custer's sister, who is truly responsible for the crash because her selfishness and arrogance made her deaf to Custer's experience." "Ilana:" "Well, that's exactly what an overconfident and stubborn general would say." "Lance:" "No, he would say that his sister is a spoiled, know-it-all brat." "All right, you two, enough!" "It's obvious that there's some brother/sister thing happening, so I'm going to give you one more chance to present your report tomorrow." "But you better get your act together." "All right?"
