"If they like their rat so much, how come those two aren't eating?" "Don't you know anything?" "The leader of the pack always eats first." "See?" "We're really going to have leverage over them now." "What are you doing?" "They know about the camera." "Don't be a knot-head." "It's a man-animal." "It couldn't possibly know about it." "You sure called that one, sir." "No way they know about the cameras." "Move your fat ass and let's go round them up!" "Crap, lousy ceiling!" "Great." "This is great." "What do we do now?" "What are you thinking, Jonnie?" "Don't even think about it." "You wouldn't live the jump, Jonnie." "You wouldn't live the jump!" "You can surrender and rot in those cages." "That's your choice." "I'm not going back!"

"Let's go, Jonnie." "Come on." "No, I can't." "I have to stay." "I have to learn more about them." "This may be our only way out of here." "So this is the monster's language?" "No, no." "This is mathematics." "This is the unifying language of the entire universe." "Look." "This symbol is called a triangle." "If all these sides are equal..." "... thenthesethreeangles must also be equal." "Equal to what?" "To each other." "It's the basic foundation of Euclidean geometry." "Seems pretty hard to understand." "No, only at first."

"Then what's the point?" "If they send more monsters to Earth, we get wiped out." "Well, the point is, we don't let it get to stage 2." "We'll destroy their Home Planet before it happens." "Their Home Planet?" "Their Home Planet." "We need some extra supplies before we can do that." "Our first stop is a radiation bomb storage bunker." "Is everyone clear?" "Count us in." "Look." "Flying machines." "These are flying machines." "They're weapons of some kind." "Flying spears." "I think there's a little more to it than that." "It's a learning machine." "Teach us to fly." "You're right." "It's like breaking a horse." "Can you teach your men to fly this?" "Piece of cake, piece of cake." "Piece of cake." "Try and keep it level." "Jonnie!" "What is it?" "I think I found one." "Come on!" "Nuclear firebomb!" "Piece of cake." "According to the book, there's a firing mechanism..." "... thathasto be in placebefore it's operational." "Don't touch the auto-sensor." "What happens if we do?" "The bomb will explode." "Big fire." "Look." "Greeners from this cave." "Off." "Off." "War- -ning." "Warning." "Warning." "Warning." "Warning." "Get it?" "What does the auto-sensor look like?" "There's an illustration in Appendix A." "What?" "What?" "We don't have Appendix A." "More books, Jonnie." "It's okay." "I thought you said nuclear fires were powerful?" "It's not nuclear." "Mickey!" "Sorry." "You're sorry." "Mickey!" "Stop touching things and turn off the damn light." "Leave it on." "Look." "Good work, Mickey." "You just found Appendix A." "Will this be enough to blow up their whole planet?" "Radiation reacts with their planet's atmosphere." "There's enough to destroy it forever." "Let me do it." "Let me go there and detonate the weapon." "It's brave of you, Mickey, but it's my plan, so I go." "You're the only one who speaks the monsters' language." "You know things about them!" "Listen..." "... withoutyouleadingthisrevolt..." "... wemightnotsucceed." "I hope their eye in the sky didn't see the gold through the lead walls." "Start filling the cage." "We'll hide half and deliver the other half to Terl tonight." "Why is it in bars?" "I assumed, sir..." "... thata Psychloof yourrefinement wouldn't want raw ore." "Really?" "Since you have had extra time..." "... tosmeltit intobricks..." "... I'llexpecttherestofthegold in seven days." "He has no intention of sharing that gold with you." "What the hell are you talking about?" "Why are you here?" "You should be mining the gold!" "You really think the only reason he made that recording..." "... wastohaveyou ashispatsy ?" "Do you, Ker?" "No." "He has leverage over you..." "... andit'llguaranteeyou  never see an ounce." "How do you know about those recordings?" "It really is amazing..." "... thecollectionof discs you find in Terl's personal vault." "First, we trade." "The disc" "I don't think so!" "Because if you don't give me the disc now..." "... Iwillblowyourhead off." "You want to trade?" "Let's trade." "Hooray!" "Won't the Psychlo see I'm not wearing the collar?" "After tonight, won't matter much either way." "Jonnie, I know you don't believe in fate..." "... butI 'vealwaysknown this was your destiny." "This is our destiny." "It's freedom for all of us." "For our children." "Children?" "Beautiful." "Quickly!" "What if this one is particularly stupid?" "There's no time." "When they detect the gold  the Planetship will know what we're doing." "We'll have to terminate the operation and cover our tracks." "When they detect the gold, the Planetship will know what we're doing." "We'll have to terminate the operation and cover our tracks." "I've been thinking." "80/20 is a pretty fair distribution of the gold." "But I should get the 80% ." "And with my share, I'm gonna fire all my wives..." "... andbuynewones." "Maybe pretty ones this time." "Ker-bango!" "Congratulations." "You've learned how to get leverage over someone, haven't you?" "Which means I haven't wasted my time training you, have I?" "You're not upset?" "Don't be crazy." "You know how long I've waited for this day?" "I know the perfect way to celebrate." "What are you doing?" "You can't shoot me." "I made a copy and gave it to someone for safekeeping." "You are just too good of a teacher." "How about giving your old teacher a clue as to who this might be?" "You insult yourself, sir." "You taught me better." "How am I supposed to know who it is?" "I don't know." "It could be anybody on this damn planet." "It could be a mechanic." "No." "It could be a concubine." "No, no." "It could be anybody in communications." "Wrong!" "I hate these things." "It's like it's a test I'm not prepared for." "Well, hell, it could even be our friendly bartender!" "Please." "I made a mistake." "Now, give me the original disc..." "... thenmeetme at theteleportation platform in two hours." "Sir." "The control bunker's to the right." "Three guards left." "Two from the guardhouse, one coming from the north." "I'll take the guardhouse." "Jonnie, the shooting's triggered the alarm." "Five guards from the south, heavily armed and moving fast." "Between you and the bunker." "Jonnie!" "The man-animals have escaped." "They're running into the city." "Send some guards out and round them up." "I'm busy." "Don't bother me with every little detail." "Gotta round them up." "Psychlos!" "Psychlos!" "7-7-3." "Greener?" "Carlo." "Explosives are set." "Can I blow the dome?" "Greener?" "What's going on?" "Talk to me!" "It's Carlo." "What's going on?" "Talk to me." "Hold on!" "If I don't get Mickey to Psychlo, they'll send drones." "Well, hurry up." "Just hurry up, because I've got company." "Here they are." "Panther!" "Hang on." "I'm right on his tail." "You know what you gotta do." "Greener, come on." "I've gotta blow this dome now!" "I'm teleporting Mickey and the bomb." "Hang on." "I'm seconds away." "Jonnie, come on." "They're destroying the bombs." "It's now or never." "Now!" "Now, go ahead!" "Blow the dome!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Teleportation sequence terminated." "Interrupting something?" "Jonnie?" "Jonnie?" "Why isn't it coming down?" "The dome is holding!" "It's not working." "It's only cracked!" "The dome isn 't broken." "We can 't hold out long." "Attention!" "This is Terl, your chief of security." "Exterminate all man-animals at will." "And happy hunting!" "Run!" "Run!" "What's with the dome?" "Hold on, I'm taking it out now." "Help us!" "They're killing us!" "We're not gonna make it!" "I think we should pull out!" "I'm blowing the dome." "In five." "Four." "Three." "Two." "One." "Piece of cake." "Everyone on the ground now!" "Go!" "Teleportation sequence activated." "Teleportation sequence activated." "Psychlo War Center, this is a stage 3 alert!" "I repeat, a stage 3 alert." "Initiate the gas drone extermination sequence." "You have been quite a challenge, rat-brain." "You'll make a hell of a conversation piece..." "... whenyou'restuffed and hanging on the academy wall." "Where's the rest of my gold?" "I'll exchange it for my woman's life." "My life is over, but hers is of no consequence to you." "Thanks for reminding me, rat-brain." "Now, where is it?" "Trust me, you don't want to do that." "Trust me, there's nothing I want more." "Carlo came through." "Why don't you vaporize me?" "Leverage." "If there are other Psychlo colonies out there..." "... they'llsendoutgas drones and exterminate us." "But if they learn that it was your greed..." "... thatdestroyedtheirHomePlanet..." "... thenallthecredits in the universe..." "... won'tequalthebounty on your head." "But there is one thing you rat-brains weren't smart enough to realize." "Kill them." "I fixed the problem with it." "It works now." "You imbecile!" "What kind of game are you playing?" "Since I'm teaching them our technology, they made me the head Psychlo." "Look at the bright side." "You may not be wallowing in luxury on Psychlo..."
