"We have also broken 16 galactic statutes and one star ordinance, so I shouldn't see anything about this online!" "Beautifully worded, sir." "Hmm." "In just a few moments, we will unleash a weapon so powerful that it will take..." "Stanley, are you seriously still texting after what I just said?" "(BEEPS)" "(CHUCKLES)" "Victor?" "If you please."

"Tonight at 5:00, another uninhabited planet is destroyed without warning or cause, marking the fourth in recent memory of our once-peaceful galaxy." "As a result, the President has requested our ever-vigilant Galactic Rangers increase their numbers from four to five." "Really?" "Just five?" "All right." "And now a message from the man himself, Captain Qwark." "Space, a wondrous realm full of adventure, and peril, and, uh, big-ness." "Captain Qwark!" "The Solana Galaxy is our home, and as many of you know, it's in a state of crisis." "The Galactic Rangers are looking for a new recruit to help with the investigation." "So if you're a small-time nobody in search of adventure, come on down to the spaceport and see me, Captain Qwark!" " Cue montage!" " Cue montage!" "Our next stop, Planet Veldin's Kyzil Plateau!"

"CHAIRMAN DREK:" "You seem especially brooding today, Victor." "Come!" "I have just the thing to brighten your day!" "Our next target!" "Look at these waterfalls, the fjords, the rolling hills of Corvoxian snodgrass!" "This is exactly what I need." "(HUMMING)" "But, sir, that entire region is heavily patrolled by the Galactic Rangers!" "We will have this planet!" "And we will take it by going on the offensive." "Our forces will strike at the Galactic Rangers first and remove them from the equation altogether." "Wait." "Real battle?" "Metal hand against hand." "I trust this pleases you?" "Of course it pleases me, but we don't have any forces!" "You let me worry about that." "In two days' time, the Galactic Rangers will be destroyed and I'll be able to complete my masterpiece!" "How many times, Ratchet?" "How many?" "Come on, he's fine!" "He landed in a pile of ivy." "Poison ivy." "Look, you're a great mechanic, you got a lot of heart, but you're careless." ""Careless," it's such an ugly word." "I prefer "carefree."" "Too soon?" "Yeah, it was too soon." "I know things haven't been easy for you, but you can't keep acting out like this when I have a shop to run." "What's with you lately?" "I just feel like I'm supposed to do more." "I've always dreamt of being a Galactic Ranger, doing big things, like Captain Qwark!" "You want an old mechanic's advice?" "Dream smaller." "It leads to less disappointment." "Please, Grim." "I just need one hour off so I can go to the spaceport for tryouts." "You promised you'd help me give proton scrubs to every ship on the plateau!" "It's almost summer." "These people depend on us!" "First off, it's always summer." "We live in a desert." "And second, that promise is still in effect!" "It's a 100% valid promise, and you can redeem it in one hour." "(GROANS)" "Yes!" "You!" "You are a great friend, Grim." "Don't let anyone tell you different." "I'll be back before you know it!" "You're the best boss in the galaxy!" "An inspiration to us all!" "Don't ever change!"

"He's on fire again." "I know." "My name is Copernicus Qwark, and yes, that was an impressive wall of fire I just walked past." "I'm going to be real with you folks for a moment."

"After all, you may not have this chiseled jaw or godlike pectoral region, but if you have heart, then you have what it takes." "You don't have what it takes." "But I have heart." "Yes, but unfortunately that heart is encased in a weak, muscleless mass of inexperience." "Plus, there's your history to consider." "You got a long line of citations here." "Possession of an illegal gravity repulsor..." "Oh, that was a misunderstanding." "I thought that space pirate was on the level!" "Operation of a black-market accelerator." ""Operation" is a strong word." "It blew up as soon as I turned it on!" "Willful disruption of the space-time continuum?" "That is a funny story." "You're reckless, you're a loose cannon, and you're dangerous." "That's my shtick." "Wait!" "Just give me a chance!" "Sorry, no time!" "Galaxy in jeopardy!" "Get back out there, and remember, you can do anything..." "As long as you're me." "Next!" "I have no less than three lethal katas" "I would like to demonstrate for you today."

"How many fingers am I holding up?" "Uh..." "Two." "But I fail to see the relevance of the question." "Chairman Drek has built an army of warbots." "They're going to assassinate the Galactic Rangers tomorrow." "Oh!" "That kind of galactic importance!" "Well, why didn't you say so?" "I can totally help!" "Oh, I could not ask a civilian to get involved in something so dangerous." "Well..." "No, I'm not just a civilian." "The Rangers are actually my friends!" "Why do you think I have so many pictures of them?" "But why are you not in any of them?" "Well, someone had to take the picture, right?" "I mean, come on." "I even have a ship." "It disassembles so it can infiltrate enemy strongholds." "So, what do you say?"

"I could have hired the Zeezils Brothers!" "It's enough to make me want to vaporize someone!" " (HUMMING) - (EXHALES)" "We're putting our project on hold." "I'm ordering all remaining warbots to the Deplanetizer until the heat dies down." "(GRUNTS)" "Before we make any rash decisions," "I wonder if you'd permit me to troubleshoot this for you." "(SIGHS) Go on." "Our question is simple." "How do you destroy a team of heroes?" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Well, lots of ways, really." "Chains, knives, guns, an enormous rock?" "Rock..." "The answer is "from within!"" "If we continue to fight them with muscle, we'll lose every time." "But if we turn one of their own against them..." "Of course, we'd need a weak link."

"...but I don't think flying's really your thing." "Captain Qwark suggested we put you in a position a little less..." "Dangerous?" "Whoa!" "Ha!" "That's right, LivesAtHome472." "What's the matter?"

"Greetings." "Your office is most, uh..." " Impressive." " (SCOFFS)" "Elaris here is in charge of developing our gear and providing tactical support." "Usually it's the former."

"(GRUNTING SOFTLY)" "CAPTAIN QWARK:" "There you go." "COMPUTER:" "Combuster equipped." "Wicked." "CAPTAIN QWARK:" "The Combuster is the backbone of the Rangers' arsenal, allowing you to hit targets in a short to medium range." " (CHUCKLES) Whoa!" " (GUN FIRING)" "This is embarrassing." "CAPTAIN QWARK:" "The Alpha Disruptor fires a deadly stream of plasma, allowing you to hit multiple targets at once." " Whoa!" " See?" "He's got it." "Sort of." "This little baby's the Negotiator."

"He turned evil." "Oh." "But don't worry." "It won't happen to me. (CHUCKLES)" "(CLEARS THROAT)" "Hmm." "That's strange." "What is it?" "I'm running a simulation based on the fragments we located from each destroyed planet." "Each one is missing a famous landmass." "Well, perhaps the pieces are still out there." "There is a lot of space in space." "I guess." "But it's worth bringing up to the captain, don't you think?" " CAPTAIN QWARK:" "Out of the way!" " RATCHET:" "Hey!" "CAPTAIN QWARK:" "Watch out!" "Heads up!" "Coming through!" "Whoa!" "Just relax!" "Everyone, stay calm!" "Something epic is happening!" "Pretty cool, huh, Clank?" "CAPTAIN QWARK:" "That's the stuff."

"You already have a mop, huh?" "So, there's that." "Please!" "If we could have just a minute to discuss our findings." "The only thing I'm interested in finding is the Hall of Heroes cafeteria."

"And rather loud." "Oh!" "MAN:" "Sorry!" "Thought you were a trash can!" "Indeed." "Wow." "Look at that." "What do you know, Clank?" "I'm famous." "Yes." "Though I am sure it is exciting, my cultural database shows that fame is highly overrated and ultimately not rewarding." "Would you agree?" "Oh, totally." "Way overrated."

" BOY:" "You the man, Ratchet!" " (CHUCKLES)" "I love you all!" "He's taller in person!" "Hmm." "All right, Rangers, our plan of attack is simple." "HALO drop into Skorg City, fire a whole mess o' bullets, and take Drek into custody so we can be home in time for waffles." " Mmm-hmm." " BRAX:" "Yeah!" "Yeah, waffles!" "Oh, that's good. (LAUGHING)" "Wait, that's our plan?" "(INHALES DEEPLY)" "Yes, it is." "Pardon me, Captain, but Chairman Drek is cunning." "He will be prepared for our assault." "Look, I think it is beyond adorable that you decided to do all this homework." "But big heroes do big things." "Each second we waste talking is a second Drek could use to destroy another planet." "But wouldn't it be worth taking five minutes to review our plan?" "We have holoschematics... (GROANS) Does anyone else feel like we should have shot something by now?" "Because it really feels like we should have shot something by now." "Thank you!" "Let's take a vote." "All those in favor of kicking in Drek's front door with a massive arsenal and restoring peace to a galaxy in turmoil, say "Aye."" "ALL:" "Aye!" "All those in favor of nerding it up here with some pie charts, say "Nay."" " BOTH:" "Nay." " Motion passes." "We assault Drek Industries tonight!" "Lock and load, Rangers!" "Suit up and rally in the aft airlock." "Although I am happy to help with the mission in any capacity," "I find this arrangement slightly embarrassing." "I'm sorry, but you're the only one who's been inside Drek's warbot factory." "Besides, this is the best way for you to keep up." " Whoa!" " (CHUCKLES)" "CORA:" "Nice backpack." "Remember, your thrusters are powered by Ratchet's suit, so don't try any solo flights." "Okay?" "I shall endeavor to..." "He's in good hands, Elaris." "You sure you want to take the, uh, extra baggage?" "No offense, but we're dropping straight into a cauldron." "And do you know what's inside that cauldron?" " Is it danger?" " It's..." "Yes, it's danger." "BRAX:" "Let's roll!" "All right, team." "Let's bring it in." "Remember, our target is Chairman Drek!" "Ready, Rangers?" "On the count of three." "Three!"

"Any sign of Drek?" "BRAX:" "Negative." "Place looks deserted." "CLANK:" "My internal coordinates system indicates a right turn up ahead." "Eh." "My gut says this way, Clank." "Glad you're getting in touch with your feelings, newbie, but we're turning right." "Because?" "Because I'm your senior Ranger and I say so." "That's why." "Okay!" "Okay." "Yeesh!" "Cranky." " What's that?" " Huh?" "Oh." "I said, "thank ye" for those words of wisdom." "CLANK:" "Good save." "This feels too easy." "Why was there no alarm?" "It is strange." "Everyone, stay sharp."
