Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Boblyn. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Boblyn~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Talk:Maria Callas

Format Changes
The reformatted page is very difficult to read, and the quotes much harder to attribute to a single person. Furthermore, some quotes are divided in two, whereas they were part of the same paragraph. The bold-type phrases and sentences make the highlighted sections appear as if they were the most important part of the quote, but that should be left to the reader to decide. The reader can also see if the quote is footnoted or not and that will tell him or her whether the material is sourced or unsourced. One could add "Citation Needed" to the unsourced material, but they should not be bunched into a totally separate section. Shahrdad 14:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Though the use of bolding has occasionally been disputed, it is permitted here, (and long encouraged by me personally except on theme pages where the disputes are most prone to be contentious as to whose statements should be bolded, rather than what statements should be), but footnote formatting has regularly been discouraged and interlinear citations are the standard form on all pages for people. Unlike encyclopedia articles where footnotes to brief comments or citations of fact are provided to preserve narrative flow, our quote pages are designed so that one shouldn't have to flip to the bottom to find sourcing. There has been general agreement that the footnote format is not acceptable for standard citations, that most quotes or sections for quotes should be arranged chronologically, and quotes by others should generally be arranged "alphabetical by author" ~ Kalki 15:14, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I put about 98% of this page together, and I disagree about the bolding. I typed many of these quotes from audio recordings of the interviews (there are no written versions of many of these quotes), and in none of the quotes were the bold-face sections the sections emphasized by the speaker.  If the person uttering the quote verbally emphasized a certain phrase or word, bolding can be justified.  Otherwise, the bolding emphasized word or phrases which the person doing the bolding considers most important and not necessarily those which the speaker or writer might have thought the most significant.  For example, in the Martina Arroyo quote, the most important part is Callas's ability to give her runs words, not the fact that Arroyo adored her.  In the Tebaldi quote, she emphasized  the words BIG and FANTASTIC, for which I used Italics.  Also many of the quotes were part of the same paragraph, but they were split into two different sections, which makes no sense at all.  Can you please undo the bold type?  I think that would make the quotes much more even and leave it to the readers' discretion to decide what the most important part of the paragraph is.     Shahrdad 02:31, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I removed the bold type, so that it will be up to the reader and not to the editor to decide what part of the quote is the most important. And since there are so many different quotes from different people, I added sub-sections with the name of the speaker. That way, when a reader is looking for a particular quote about Callas, they can quickly go to the paragraph pertaining to that particular speaker or writer.  Shahrdad 18:05, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Unsourced
Wikiquote no longer allows unsourced quotations, and they are in process of being removed from our pages (see Wikiquote:Limits on quotations); but if you can provide a reliable and precise source for any quote on this list please move it to Maria Callas.

 * If I have stepped on some people at times because I am at the top, it couldn't be helped. What should I do if someone gets hurt... retire?

 * If we do 10 Macbeths, we have 10 tenors, 10 baritones. No, I'm sorry, I can't do that, that is not art!
 * In regards to Sir Rudolph Bing's uncreative choices at the Met after he sent her an ultimatum telegram.

 * My poor sight gives me an advantage. I can't see the people in the audience who are scratching their heads while I am lost in my role and giving everything I have to the drama.

 * When my enemies stop hissing, I shall know I'm slipping.

 * You are born an artist or you are not. And you stay an artist, dear, even if your voice is less of a fireworks. The artist is always there. --Antiquary 20:10, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Regarding the addition you made to the David Ben-Gurion page, yes the article cited was by Thomas Friedman, but the book that was referred to in the article quoted the book by Martin Gilbert. And the quote does appear in the article, on the second page. I've reverted your change. In the future, if you feel that such a correction needs to be made, the proper place for it is on the page's Talk page, rather than on the main page. Thanks. ~ UDScott 15:32, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup tag
I've added the cleanup tag for these reasons: half-width dividers need to be added between quotes in episodes (instead of the full line) and episode numbers are not listed. ~ UDScott 17:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Proposed merge from Sick, Sad World
I have proposed that Sick, Sad World be merged into this article because the quotes ought to be listed with the work in which they appear, rather than a separate article about a fictional element. It would take some research to do this, because the quotes there are not sourced by episode. For the same reason, the two articles together raise concerns about limits on quotations. If the quotes are not identified by episode and merged into this article then Sick, Sad World should be deleted. ~ Ningauble 14:26, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I will try to do the episodes when I have some time, I have the entirity of the first three seasons of Daria here, as well as the second movie "Is It College Yet?" ... Also, I will backup the original sick sad world wikiquotes shortly so we don't lose the research. Horst.Burkhardt 11:55, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Khaled Hosseini

Khaled Hosseini (born March 4, 1965) is a physician and author of the best selling novel, The Kite Runner.

The Kite Runner (2003)

 * A man ... found a magic cup and learned that if he wept into the cup, his tears turned into pearls. But even though he had always been poor, he was a happy man and rarely shed a tear. So he found ways to make himself sad so that his tears could make him rich. As the pearls piled up, so did his greed grow. The story ended with the man sitting on a mountain of pearls, knife in hand, weeping helplessly into the cup with his beloved wife's slain body in his arms.

 * I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975. I remember the precise moment, crouching behind a crumbling mud wall, peeking into the alley near the frozen creek. That was a long time ago, but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I’ve learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years.
 * Ch. 1

 * Ali and Sanaubar had little in common, least of all their respective appearances. While Sanaubar’s brilliant green eyes and impish face had, rumor has it, tempted countless men into sin, Ali had a congenital paralysis of his lower facial muscles, a condition that rendered him unable to smile and left him perpetually grim-faced. It was an odd thing to see the stone-faced Ali happy, or sad, because only his slanted brown eyes glinted with a smile or welled with sorrow. People say that eyes are windows to the soul. Never was that more true than with Ali, who could only reveal himself through his eyes. I have heard that Sanaubar’s suggestive stride and oscillating hips sent men to reveries of infidelity.
 * Ch. 2

 * Then he would remind us that there was a brotherhood between people who had fed from the same breast, a kinship that not even time could break. Hassan and I fed from the same breasts. We took our first steps on the same lawn in the same yard. And, under the same roof, we spoke our first words.  Mine was Baba.  His was Amir. My name.  Looking back on it now, I think the foundation for what happened in the winter of 1975—and all that followed—was already laid in those first words (11).
 * Ch. 2

 * Children aren't coloring books. You don't get to fill them with your favorite colors.
 * Rahim Khan, Ch. 3

 * With me as the glaring exception, my father molded the world around him to his liking. The problem, of course, was that Baba saw the world in black and white. And he got to decide what was black and what was white. You can't love a person who lives that way without fearing him too. Maybe even hating him a little.

 * If America taught me anything, it's that quitting is right up there with pissing in the Girl Scouts' lemonade jar.

 * Lore has it my father once wrestled a black bear in Baluchistan with his bare hands. If the story had been about anyone else, it would have been dismissed as "laaf", that Afghan tendency to exaggerate-- sadly, almost a national affliction; if someone bragged that his son was a doctor, chances were the kid had once passed a biology test in high school. But no one ever doubted the veracity of any story about Baba. And if they did, well, Baba did have those three parallel scars coursing a jagged path down his back. I have imagined Baba's wrеstling match countless times, evеn dreamed about it. And in those dreams, I can never tell Baba from the bear.
 * Amir, Ch. 3

 * I see you've confused what you're learning in school with actual education ... But if what he said is true then does it make you a sinner, Baba? ... Then I'll tell you ... but first understand this and understand it now, Amir; You'll never learn anything of value from those bearded idiots ... I mean all of them. Piss on the beards of all those self- righteous monkeys. They do nothing but thumb their rosaries and recite a book written in a tongue they don't understand ... They do nothing but thumb their prayer beads and recite a book written in a tongue they don't even understand. God help us all if Afghanistan ever falls into their hands ... Now, no matter what the mullah teaches, there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. Do you understand that? ... There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. ... When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness ... There is no act more wretched than stealing, Amir ... A man who takes what's not his to take, be it a life or a loaf of "naan"... I spit on such a man. And if I ever cross paths with him, God help him. Do you understand?
 * Baba, Ch. 3

 * One time, when I was really little, I climbed a tree and ate these green, sour apples. My stomach swelled and became hard like a drum, it hurt a lot. Mother said that if I'd just waited for the apples to ripen, I wouldn't have become sick. So now, whenever I really want something, I try to remember what she said about the apples.

 * Hassan slumps to the asphalt, his life of unrequited loyalty drifting from him like the windblown kites he used to chase.

 * I wondered if that was how forgiveness budded, not with the fanfare of epiphany, but with pain gathering its things, packing up, and slipping away unannounced in the middle of the night.

 * I think that everything he did, feeding the poor, giving money to friends in need, it was all a way of redeeming himself. And that, I believe, is what true redemption is, Amir jan, when guilt leads to good.

 * That was a long time ago, but it's wrong what they say about the past, I've learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out.
 * (1)

 * But coming close wasn't the same as winning, was it? ... He had won because winners won and everyone else just went home.
 * (56)

 * It was Homaira and me against the world. ... In the end, the world always wins. That's just the way of things.
 * (99) Rahim Khan

 * War doesn't negate decency. It demands it, even more than in times of peace.
 * Baba (115)

 * I stepped back and all I saw was rain through windowpanes that looked like melting silver.
 * (109)

 * You're gutless. It's how you were made. And that's not such a bad thing because your saving grace is that you've never lied to yourself about it. Not about that. Nothing wrong with cowardice as long as it comes with prudence. But when a coward stops remembering who he is.. God help him.
 * (288) Amir

 * But that's what I'm saying to you... That there are bad people in this world, and sometimes bad people stay bad. Sometimes you have to stand up to them.
 * (319) Amir

 * Quiet is peace. Tranquility. Quiet is turning down the volume knob on life. Silence is pushing the off button. Shutting it down. All of it.
 * (361)

 * How could I of all people, chastise someone for their past?
 * Amir

 * There is a way to be good again.
 * (2) - Rahim Khan

 * For you, a thousand times over.
 * (2) - Hassan, Amir

 * I ran. A grown man running with a swarm of screaming children. But I didn't care. I ran with the wind blowing in my face, and a smile as wide as the valley of Panjsher on my lips. I ran.
 * P. 391

 * Is this about you and Hassan? I know there's something going on between you two, but whatever it is, you have to deal with it, not me. I'm staying out of it.
 * Baba (79)

 * Afghanistan is the land of Pashtuns. It always has been, always will be. We are the true Afghans, the pure Afghans, not this Flat-Nose here. His people pollute our homeland, our watan. They dirty our blood.
 * Assef (35)

 * Fuck the Russia!
 * Baba (117)

 * Hassan's not going anywhere. He's staying right here with us, where he belongs. This is his home and we're his family. Don't you ever ask me that question again!
 * Baba (79-80)

 * I always felt like Baba hated me a little. And why not? After all, I had killed his beloved wife, his beautiful princess, hadn't I? The least I could have done was to have the decency to have turned out a little more like him.
 * Amir (19)

 * But better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.
 * Baba (58)

A Thousand Splendid Suns (2007)

 * Like a compass needle that points north, a man's accusing finger always finds a woman. -Nana
 * I know you're still young, but I want you to understand and learn this now, he said. Marriage can wait, education cannot. You're a very, very bright girl. Truly, you are. You can be anything you want, Laila I know this about you. And I also know that when this war is over, Afghanistan is going to need you as much as its men, maybe even more. Because a society has no chance of success if its women are uneducated, Laila No chance. -Babi

 * What good is it? All this, what good is it? -Mariam

 * I dream of you too, Mariam jo. I miss you. I miss the sound of your voice, your laughter. I miss reading to you, and all the times we fished together. Do you remember all the times we fished together? You were a good daughter, Mariam jo, and I cannot ever think of you without feeling shame and regret. -Jalil's letter

 * Regret...when it comes to you, I have oceans of it.
 * Jalil's letter

 * Women have always had it hard in this country, Laila, but they're probably more free now, under the communists, and have more rights than they've ever had before.
 * Babi

 * *Mariam is having a flashback*
 * Jailil: Ah yes. Of course. Well then, without further ado...
 * (a gold pendent with stars and moons hanging from it)
 * Jalil: try it on, Mariam jo.
 * Mariam: What do you think?
 * Jalil: I think you look like a queen.

 * And I wrote to you, Laila. Volumes. -
 * Tariq

 * Mariam: I can't believe what you are now, if you were a Benz before.
 * Laila: A jeep? Maybe a jumbo jet?

 * Nana (to Mariam): When I'm gone, you'll have nothing in this world. You are nothing!

 * Nana (to Mariam) : A man's heart isn't like a woman's womb, Mariam! It won't bleed, it won't make room for you. A man's heart is a wretched, wretched thing. I'm all you have in this world, Mariam and when I'm gone, you'll have nothing. You are nothing!

 * Laila (at fourteen years): What would your mother say when she saw you smoke?
 * Tariq: She doesn't know
 * Laila: That could change
 * Tariq: Who's going to tell her? You?
 * Laila: Tell your secrets to the wind but don't blame it for telling the trees.

 * Tariq: I do it for the girls
 * Laila: What girls?
 * Tariq: They think its sexy

 * Giti: Nobody ever came for my hand.
 * Hasina: That's because you have a beard, my dear.

 * Tariq (meeting Laila after ten years): It's good to see you, Laila.

 * Mullah Faizullah: It wasn't your fault,Mariam. Don't think this way. This will destroy you, my girl. It wasn't your fault.

 * Laila: It isn't fair.
 * Mariam: No, it is fair. I killed our husband, Laila. I deprived your son of a father. Even if we escape, I...I won't be able to look at him without shame. No, it's my fault. Take care, Laila jo.

 * Tariq: For you, Laila, I'd go all over the world

 * "Mariam is never very far, she is here, in these walls they've repainted, in the trees they've planted, in the blankets that keep the children warm, in these pillows and books and pencils. She is in the children's laughter. She is in the verses Aziza recites and in the prayers she mutters when she bows westward. But, mostly, Miriam is in Laila's own heart, where she shines with the bursting radiance of a thousand suns."
 * Chapter, 51.

 * It wasn't easy tolerating him talking this way to her, to bear his scorn, his ridicule, his insults, his walking past her like she was nothing but a house cat. But after four years of marriage, Mariam saw clearly how much a woman could tolerate when she was afraid. And Mariam was afraid.
 * Mariam, p. 98

 * And that, my young friends, is the story of our country, one invader after another. Macedonians. Sassanians. Arabs. Mongols. Now the Soviets. But we're like those walls up there. Battered, and nothing pretty to look at, but still standing.
 * Cab Driver, p. 146

 * Maybe it was senseless to want to be near a person so badly here in a country where bullets had shredded her own brothers to pieces. But all Laila had to do was picture Tariq going at Khadim with his leg and then nothing in the world seemed more sensible to her.
 * Laila, p. 153

 * It always falls on the sober to pay for the sins of the drunk.
 * Wajma, p. 228

 * The Chinese say it is better to be deprived of food for three days than tea for one.
 * Laila, p. 250

 * It does not frighten me to leave this life that my only son left five years ago, this life that insists we bear sorrow upon sorrow long after we can bear no more. No, I believe I shall gladly take my leave when the time comes.  What frightens me, hamshira, is the day God summons me before him and asks, Why did you not do as I said, Mullah? Why did you not obey my laws? How shall I explain myself to him, hamshira? What will be my defense for not heeding His commands? All I can do, all any of us can do, in the time we are granted, is to go on abiding by the laws He has set for us. The clearer I see my end, hamsira, the nearer I am to my day of reckoning, the more determined I grow to carry out His word. However painful it may prove.
 * Talib Judge, p. 366

 * I am tired and I am dying, and I want to be merciful. I want to forgive you. But when God summons me and says, But it wasn't for you to forgive, Mullah, what shall I say?
 * Talib Judge, p. 366

 * She was leaving the world as woman who had loved and been loved back. She was leaving it as a friend, a companion, a guardian. A mother. A person of consequence at last. No. It was not so bad, Mariam thought, that she should die this way. Not so bad.
 * Mariam, p. 370

 * Every Afghan story is marked by death and loss and unimaginable grief. And yet, she sees, people find a way to survive, to go on.
 * Laila, p. 395

And the Mountains Echoed (2013)

 * Beauty is an enormous, unmerited gift given randomly, stupidly.

Paul Bloom

Paul Bloom (born December 24, 1963) is a professor of psychology at Yale University and an internationally recognized expert on language and development.

Quotes

 * Traditionally, psychology has been the study of two populations: university freshmen and white rats.
 * From the essay "Toward a Theory of Moral Development," published in the anthology The Next Fifty Years: Science in the First Half of the Twenty-First Century, edited by John Brockman

 * It’s relevant that people whose polling places are schools are more likely to vote for sales taxes that will fund education. Or that judges become more likely to deny parole the longer they go without a break. Or that people serve themselves more food when using a large plate. Such effects, even when they’re small, can make a practical difference, especially when they influence votes and justice and health. But their existence doesn’t undermine the idea of a rational and deliberative self. To think otherwise would be like concluding that because salt adds flavor to food, nothing else does.
 * “The War on Reason,” The Atlantic, March 2014, pp. 64–70

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Laszlo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Laszlo~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Geoff Dyer

Geoff Dyer (born June 5, 1958) is a British writer. He lives in London. He is the author of numerous works of fiction and non-fiction including But Beautiful, which won the Somerset Maugham Award, the novel Paris Trance, Out of Sheer Rage (a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award), and the travel memoir Yoga For People Who Can't Be Bothered To Do It.

Yoga For People Who Can't Be Bothered To Do It (1993)

 * This book is a ripped, by no mean reliable map of some of the landscapes that make up a particular phase of my life. It’s about places where things happened or didn’t happen, places where I stayed and things that have stayed with me, places I’d wanted to see or places I passed through or just ended up. In a way they’re all the same place—the same landscape—because the person these things happened to was the same person who in turn is the sum of all things that happened or didn’t happen in these and other places. Everything in this book really happened, but some of the things that happened only happened in my head; by that same token, all the things that didn’t happen didn’t happen there too. (p. 1).

 * When you are lonely, writing can keep you company. It is a form of self-compensation, a way of making up for things—as opposed to making things up—that did not quite happen. (p.11).

 *  I was constantly surprised by how much people didn’t know. That’s one of the things about traveling, one of the things you learn: many people in the world, even educated ones, don’t know much, and it doesn’t actually matter at all. (p. 15).

 * Virility of one kind or another is so important if you are to feel like a man. You have to be able to perform stunts. You have to be able to show off in front of your woman, do things she urges you not to do because they look dangerous. (p. 64).

 * They made two thousand years ago seem like yesterday, and yesterday look like today, just as today would, in time, look like tomorrow. (p. 128).

 *  Dave was committed to making it a truly memorable weekend in the sense that he would remember nothing whatsoever about it. “It’s all about moderation,” he said, “Everything in moderation. Even moderation itself. From this it follows that you must from time to time, have excess. And this is going to be one of those occasions.” (p. 152).

 * Once you turn forty...the whole world is water off a duck’s back. Once you turn forty you realize that life is there to be wasted. (p. 165).

 * The best way to learn was by looking, to become articulate in the language of sight. The eye could learn to look after itself. (p. 180).

 * The idea is to generate paperwork. The word could hardly be more apt. Paper is work. Paper is the big employer. Someone fills out a form (in triplicate), someone files one copy, the other copy goes somewhere else to be filed by someone else, the third is retained by the customer for his records. The most insignificant transaction must be scrupulously recorded and logged, filed and stored, even, on occasion, retrieved. On a trip to Libya, p. 183.

 * I had to be on my own, just so that I would not feel as alone. (p. 201).

 *  I felt I could no longer take the roller-coaster of emotions of travel, its surges of exaltation, its troughs of despondency, it’s large stretches of boredom and inconvenience (p. 202).

 * Ruins—antique ruins at least—are what is left when history has moved on. They are no longer at the mercy of history, only of time. (p. 207).

 * The more you covet something, the more certain it is that you’ll lose it, and the more devastating the loss will be when it happens—which it will. (p. 216).

 * I should have been happy—I was being paid to be here—but happiness does not respond to that kind of imperative; it is no good telling yourself you should be happy. (p. 225).

 * All we can do is keep applying the creosote, propping ourselves up with health and success, trying to keep the rain and the damp and the rot at bay for a little longer, trying to postpone the moment of complete collapse of abandonment for the same reason that one waits as long as possible for the alcoholic drink of the day: because the longer you leave it, the better it will feel. (p. 227).

Red Auerbach

Arnold "Red" Auerbach (September 20, 1917 – October 28, 2006) was a head basketball coach and a front office executive for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Quotes

 * You handle animals. You deal with people.
 * Quoted in Billy Packer & Roland Lazenby, Why We Win, Masters Press, 1999, p. 15

Quotes about

 * Tony DiNozzo: William Felton Russell, 5-time MVP, greatest basketball champion ever. He used to get so nervous, so pumped, he had to throw up before every game... One night, the Celtics take the court. It's a big game, huge. Red's watching them warm up from the sidelines, but something's not right. He can tell, not clicking. He clears the floor, takes them all back down to the locker room. Why? Because Russell didn't throw up. You know what Red says next? Leroy Jethro Gibbs: "Get in there and puke, we've got a game to win."

Skyland

Skyland (full French title: "Skyland, Le Nouveau Monde", or "Skyland, The New World"), is a CGI animated television series developed in France in partnership with Canada/Luxembourg that debuted in April 2006.

The year is 2251 and the Earth was somehow shattered into thousands of pieces which now orbit what's left of the Earth's core. Many of these floating hunks of rock are habitable and have been colonized by what's let of the human race, who call their strange world Skyland.

Water is scarce in Skyland, and the evil dictatorial government, called The Sphere, tax the survivors heavily. The Sphere is also interested in any human who may be seijins, people possessing telekinetic powers fueled by the sun. The Sphere use seijins to keep its less capable subjects in line.

The Skyland story revolves around a pair of siblings, Mahad and Lena, and their quest to resist, and ultimately defeat, the evil Sphere.

Mahad

 * Leave my family alone!
 * Lena, that's amazing!
 * Track you down?
 * Okay, class. We're almost done. The final lesson comes with a blast!

Lena

 * You're ashamed of me because I'm a seijin!
 * I will never be a part of the Sphere. They're theives.
 * You remember when dad gave me this doll?
 * I know why you steal water from the farmers! To fill up the Sphere Leaders' swimming pools! That's why!
 * MOTHER!
 * Way to go, Mahad!

Mila

 * Do you want the Sphere to take you away and make you become a Guardian?
 * I don't know how he died, Lena. But I do know he loved you and Mahad very very much.
 * Brigadiers!
 * Go inside the house, Lena.
 * Children, stand behind me.
 * The Guardians will come for us. Life will never be the same again.
 * If the Guardians don't find me here, they'll know I'm in your ship. They'll come after us with an armada. I can't put you in that kind of danger. I won't!
 * Never forget how much I love you. We will be together again.
 * I'll never be a part of your evil schemes! Why do you think I left the academy in the first place?

Diwan

 * Commander Oslo, a rebellion has been reported on the Babylonia U-27 block. A seijin has whiped out an entire Brigade.
 * NO! She's mine!
 * We have been notified that a patrol ship has just left the area. A direct violation of your orders.

Oslo

 * No seijin has that kind of power. Except me. Unless... give me the coordinates, Diwan. I'll meet you there.
 * At long last we are reunited, Mila. I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time.
 * Together, we can bring down the fools that control the Sphere. We could rule the world, you and I.
 * So you have children. How wonderful for you. Perhaps you should consider being more cooperative. (rips the doll's head off) For their sake!
 * Find her children and bring them to me!

Brigadiers

 * Water tax immediate collection required.
 * No resistance will be tolerated.
 * Attack from unregistered Seijin.

Conversations

 * Hanako: You're even crazier than I thought!
 * Mahad: You love it and you know it!
 * Hanako: Remind me again why I hang out with you?
 * Mahad: 'Cause I'm the best.

 * Mahad: What happened, Shoomdai? You take a wrong turn?
 * Shoomdai: Okay, Mahad. You're the best pilot in school. For now.

 * Lena: It's all my fault! I shouldn't have insulted the Brigadiers.
 * Mahad: No it isn't. I'm the one who attacked first!
 * Mila: Neither of you are to blame.

 * Lena: Stop the ship, Mahad!
 * Mahad: I can't! She's controlling it with her powers!

 * Lena: Is that what they taught you in pilot school?
 * Mahad: No, but now you know why I was getting so many detentions.

 * Diwan: Was this your doing?
 * Mila: Why yes. They look better in pieces, don't you think?
 * Diwan: Trust me, you'll pay for this.

 * Oslo: So, you left the Guardian Academy to come and live in this miserable place?
 * Mila: No. I left to avoid becoming like you: a Guardian bent on imposing the Sphere's tyranny on innocent people.

 * Mila: Where are you taking me?
 * Oslo: To a secret place. Where traitors like you are sent to spend the rest of their days.
 * Mila: Kharzem Prison.
 * Oslo: Precisely. You will be our guest there for as long as you refuse to cooperate or until you are no longer useful. Whichever comes first.

 * Mila: That's impossible... there's no light in here!
 * Oslo: Impossible for you, perhaps. I have modified my body by sleeping in light day and night. My powers are now boundless and ever present.
 * Mila: Have you lost your senses, Oslo? No one can absorb that much energy. Your powers will just eat you away from the inside.

 * Wayan: Locked on target, captain.
 * Cortes: Stand by for instructions.

Mahad

 * Uh-oh. We've got company.
 * Maybe if I stick close to the big guy, maybe those pests will stop shooting at us.
 * AAAH!
 * Dahlia. Is that Spanish or Italian?
 * Let me fly this ship and watch a REAL pilot in action!
 * This place gives me the creeps...
 * I'm the son of a hero!
 * Don't fail me now. (kisses boomerang)
 * (catches boomerang) Am I good or what?

Lena

 * I can't contact that ship!
 * He left me something to remember him by. My doll. Thelia!
 * Thank you, Vector.

Mila

 * I'd rather spend the rest of my days in Kharzem's darkest cell.
 * You will never capture Lena. You hear me? My children will defeat the Sphere and you! It's their destiny, Oslo!

Cortes

 * Guardians are no friend of mine!
 * That's one less Sphere ship for us to deal with. Call back the Mosquitoes.
 * I told you a thousand times before. Never say the name of our block in front of strangers! Cheng, please tell your friend, The Vector, what's going on here. I haven't the patience!
 * The Hyperion!
 * Well, looks like we have ourselves a couple of new crew members. Prepare the landing sight for the Hyperion.

Diwan

 * So we have powers, do we? Pretty impressive for someone so young. You want to play? Alright, let's see what you're made of.
 * Looks like you've run out of room, young lady.
 * You brats, I'll get you soon!

Oslo

 * Kharzem Prison. Welcome to your new home.
 * If your daughter is the lady of light from the prophecy... Then she and I will rule together.

Conversation

 * Mahad: That's a Pirate ship!
 * Lena: You think they'll know this Vector guy?
 * Mahad: Are you kidding? They're pirates! They might have even known Marcus Farrell!

 * Mahad: Why are they shooting at us?
 * Lena: Because we're in a Sphere Patrol ship, genius!

 * Cheng: Shouldn't we rescue the survivors, sir? That was a young girl's voice.
 * Cortes: It's obviously a Sphere trap.
 * Cheng: She didn't sound like a Guardian to me.
 * Dahlia: I'm detecting Sphere Patrollers approaching.
 * Cortes: See? It IS a trap. Head west, Wayan.
 * Cheng: I hope you're right. 'Cause if not, we would have left a little girl all alone. On this icy block.
 * Cortes: (sighs) Turn around, Wayan. we're going to pick her up... I don't know why I listen to you.
 * Cheng: I didn't say anything.

 * Lena: Thank you so much for bringing us on board.
 * Mahad: Especially since we were shot down by one of your trigger happy- (Lena covers his mouth)

 * Brigadier: The Patrol ship is empty.
 * Diwan: Search the surroundings. They couldn't have gone far.

 * Vector: Mila knew Oslo would find her again one day. That's why she sent you to me.
 * Cortes: You don't look like a baby sitter to me.

Mahad

 * Don't forget, Little Phoenix. I'm the one who has to face Cortes if things go wrong.
 * Speaking of the Sphere, we're being followed by three ships. It looks like S-22s!
 * AHH! Oh, it's just a kite.
 * Hang on for the landing!
 * That was a blast!
 * Did you know that they've nicknamed me 'Keeper of The Front Guard' and that they call you 'Keeper of The Rear Guard'?
 * Way to go, little sister!
 * I should have listened to Cortes! Even if we do get out of here alive, he's going to KILL me when we get home!
 * Imagine being trapped for years. Totally silent. And when I think how hard I made it for her.

Lena

 * The Vector's got visitors today.
 * Lil' Phoenix hears you.
 * Yeah, not bad!
 * Good bye, Lee! I think Ningxia has found a great new master.

Cortes

 * MAHAD! Who do you think you are tangling with a Sphere squadron just three miles from Puerto Angel? I forbid you to leave here again without my permission! Understood?
 * Dahlia, open the hatch. We're taking Mahad and Lena off that block. Wayan, deploy the Mosquitoes!

Oslo

 * Diwan, I told you not to do anything until I got here. I am VERY disappointed in you. I thought my orders were clear.
 * We have lost our opportunity. I blame you, Diwan.

Conversations

 * Cheng: I got the big one!
 * Mahad: But you were aiming at the little one.
 * Cheng: Oh yeah, that's true. But at least I hit one.
 * Mahad: Right. Just remind me never to put my life in your hands.

 * Lena: I don't want to take anybody else's water.
 * Cheng: Don't worry about that, Lena. The drought will be over soon.
 * Mahad: Yup. The Vector's found a block of ice. We're on our way there right now. It's supposed to be huge.
 * Cortes: Not anymore, it isn't.

 * Cortes: That's it. There's no water here. Let's head back.
 * Mahad: We can't give up now, Cortes. Let's at least go in and take a look around.
 * Cortes: Look, Mahad, I know you're worried about Lena but I'm telling you the Sphere wouldn't leave even a drop of water behind.
 * Mahad: Can you guarantee there's not a drop of water in there?
 * Cortes: We've waisted enough time as it is! We're going back home.
 * Lena: I think Mahad's right. I can sense something inside the station.

(After a few seconds of pondering...)
 * Cortes: Wayan, Dahlia... Start the approach procedure.

 * Cortes: (activates his shock blaster) Looks like we've got company.
 * Mahad: I hope it's not the Mogura.
 * Dahlia: (smacks a gun in Mahad's chest) You'll need this. (activates her energy bow)
 * Cortes: Cheng, find us another way out of here.
 * Cheng: I'm on it.

(Mogura comes up to the door and forces it open)
 * Cortes: Aim for it's head! Everybody... Fire!

 * Mahad: Dahlia, I know you like me but now's hardly the time.
 * Dahlia: Oh, grow up!
 * Cortes: Need I remind you that we're running for our lives?

 * Dahlia: That's the best water I've ever tasted. (throws the bottle at Mahad)
 * Mahad: (catches it) Wayan, heads up. (throws it at Wayan) I'm not drinking any before Lena does.

 * Lena: Is that what I think it is?
 * Cheng: Hey, guys. The Mogura has started moving again. And it's moving fast. Get out of there!

 * Mahad: I'm glad we've got Cheng. Otherwise we'd be- (runs into a wall)
 * Dahlia: What?
 * Mahad: Otherwise we'd be dead meat...

 * Mahad: Wow. I didn't know Lena could do that.
 * Dahlia: You can say that again. You almost got us killed! Then she comes along and saves the day.
 * Mahad: Hey, I'm doing my part.

 * Cortes: Cheng, do something! Quick!

Mahad

 * We've got him safe and sound. We're heading back to Puerto Angel.

Coversation

 * Cortes: What makes you think they were escorting Sansken?
 * Wayan: Well, when we attacked their formation, the Patrollers had plenty of time to blast him. But they didn't. It makes no sense.
 * Cortes: Aye, you're right. But if he really did escape from Kharzem, he can lead Lena and Mahad to their mother.

 * Sansken: You wanted to come, so here we are.
 * Mahad: I love it!
 * Sansken: You're crazy! (to Lena) Your brother's crazy, you know that?

 * Sansken: Please understand. I had no choice but to do as they said. They had my children.
 * Mahad: You lied to us about Kharzem. You sold us out to the Sphere. And this is my ship, and that is my seat!

Conversation

 * Lena: Hey, Cheng.
 * Cheng: Ugh, these headphones feel like I'm wearing vice-grips. I swear my ears have trippled in size...

 * Cheng: What's the matter?
 * Lena: Something's wrong. Mahad knows every route to Puerto Angel like the back of his hand. He could never get lost. Is there any way to listen in on their conversation?
 * Cheng: Hm... (takes out a hand radio) I could set this to the radio's frequency.
 * Mahad: (over the radio) We're trapped on an iceburg and it's about to hit Puerto Angel. But he have a plan: We're going to blow it up using the Hyperion's engine reactor.
 * Wayan: No! That's not a solution!
 * Dahlia: It's the only way, Wayan.

 * Mahad: I know I can be a pain sometimes but...

(Lena is shown levitating upward in a seijin orb)
 * Mahad: It's just that when you're next to me...
 * Dahlia: Yes?

(Lena is shown in the same scene, only in an overhead view) (Mahad and Dahlia are moving closer)
 * Dahlia: You should just be yourself... You don't have to show off and brag.

(Mahad and Dahlia were just inches away from a kiss when Mahad's attention is grabbed by Lena)

 * Wayan: You have a right to show off, for once.
 * Cortes: Don't encourage him. Nice to have you back safe and sound.
 * Dahlia: It's good to be back in one piece.
 * Cortes: You and the kid make a good team.
 * Mahad: Hah! I'm not taking any girls with me any more. All they ever want to do is flirt and kiss me. It's impossible to fly under those conditions.
 * Cortes: Dahlia, don't throw him overboard. I need all hands on deck today. Mind waiting until tomorrow?
 * Dahlia: I'll be counting down the minutes!

(Dahlia chases after Mahad)
 * Mahad: See what I mean!?

Conversation

 * Jelola: Wake up, you lazy lump! We're on the Saint Nazaire. That means that Lena, the rebel seijin with a price on her head, is on board.
 * Artemis: Lena?

 * Mahad: Do you trust me?
 * Dahlia: Well...
 * Mahad:' Jump!

(Mahad and Dahlia jump over the edge of the Saint Nazaire)
 * Brig: Fugitives terminated.

 * Cortes: He better be careful! If he so much as scratches my ship, I'll-
 * Brigadeir: (walks in, interrupting Cortes) Prisoners must remain silent. You may not speak.
 * Cortes: Who's going to stop us, you metal plated freak!?

 * Cheng:(hits his head)
 * Celia:(giggles)

Conversation

 * Oslo: Don't challenge me! You know you don't stand a chance.
 * Dahlia: You don't scare me anymore! Lena was right. This is my house and I'm kicking you out!

 * Dahlia: Ask me a question.
 * Mahad: Alright. Something private. Something, only we as a couple, could possible know about.
 * Dahlia: (scoffs) Dreamer!
 * Mahad: Wow, it Is you!

Conversation

 * Cheng: We can play catch. You can throw me your boomerang.
 * Mahad: It's a boomerang, Cheng. It comes back on its own.
 * Cheng: Right...
 * Mahad: Boring, boring, BO-RING!

 * Mahad: Cortes treats me like a kid.
 * Lena: Because you act like a kid.
 * Mahad: Nice! Thanks a lot...

 * Cortes: You seem to have a problem with the way I run things around here.
 * Mahad: Well... I just...
 * Cortes: You're not coming with us on this trip.
 * Mahad: What?
 * Cortes: I'm leaving you behind. And while I'm gone, you are in charge of Puerto Angel.
 * Mahad: Are you serious?
 * Cortes: I must be. Since I have no sense of humour. I'll let everyone know. Good luck.

 * Mahad: Attention crew! Captain on deck. What? No solute for your leader?
 * Dahlia: This can't be happening... This is a nightmare.
 * Mahad: I knew it! You dream about me.

Conversation

 * Cortes: MAHAD! Are you totally off your rocker? Attacking an entire brigadier squad. You're lucky you both escaped alive!
 * Mahad: Yeah, did you see it? I blew them all to bits!
 * Cortes: And what if a spy patroller had followed you back? You're putting all of Puerto Angel in danger because of all your mindless probottle! I forbid you to leave here again without my permission.
 * Mahad: You're not my father!
 * Cortes: And neither are you! Your father was a born leader. Not some kid who wanted to show off.

 * Mahad: Well, what do we have here? Oslo, helpless?
 * Lena: Oh, it looks like he used up all his powers to soften the crash.
 * Oslo: Don't just stand there. Help me get out!
 * Mahad: You hear how he's talking to us?
 * Lena: Yeah, what nerve.
 * Mahad: I think he needs to learn some manners.

(Mahad and Lena begin to walk out)
 * Oslo: Come back! You've got to get me out of here. Mila wouldn't leave me to die like this. And I'm the only one who can take you to her.

(Mahad marches back to Oslo)
 * Mahad: Don't you dare talk about my mother! I'm not falling for your tricks, Oslo. Come on, we're leaving.
 * Lena: We can't.
 * Mahad: ... Lena, what are you saying?
 * Lena: Oslo's right. Mother would never let anyone die without trying to help them.

(Lena levitates the I-beam off Oslo's leg while Mahad groans in the background) (Oslo stands up, but with a limp in his left leg)
 * Mahad: Alright! But if it were up to me, you'd still be under that mess.
 * Oslo: If I had my powers right now, I'd-
 * Lena: Please, stop! We both just crashed our ships. Do you really think it's time to fight?
 * Oslo: You'd be better off listening to your little sister, Mahad.

 * Oslo: Ten kilometers. I'll never make it that far with my leg like this. I'll wait for you here.
 * Mahad: So you can radio your fleet and set a trap for us? Forget it. You're coming with us!
 * Oslo: (stands up) Fine! But I'll need help walking. (holds his hand out to Mahad)
 * Mahad: You've got to be kidding!

(Mahad is helping Oslo walk across the landscape)
 * Mahad: (groan) I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I wish you had your powers right now.

 * Oslo: Are you sure you don't want a drink of water?
 * Mahad: No thank you. Who knows what you might've put in there.
 * Oslo: (chuckles) You think I would poison my own water? Tell me, Mahad. You wouldn't happen to be slightly paranoid, would you?
 * Mahad: Forget it, Oslo. We'll never trust you. Not here, not anywhere.
 * Oslo: You're absolutely right, Mahad. You should never trust anyone. Your mother taught me that a long time ago.

(Mahad and Lena look surprised)
 * Oslo: We were inseparable at the guardian school.

Babylonia (1.11)

 * Mahad: Tell Shoomday-- tell him. Just tell him... I'm still the best pilot!

Conversation
(Mahad and Lena are playing chess in the tavern)
 * Lena: You can finish your turn any time this year.
 * Mahad: You can't rush genius. I'm thinking. (moves a game piece) There..
 * Lena: Finally.

(A waitress walks up to the table)
 * Mahad: Oh hey! (hands her two water containers) Is it possible to get two more of these please?

(Lena uses her powers to move the game pieces while Mahad's not looking)

 * Cortes: We're your family now.
 * Cheng: Not my real family. If you were my real family, you wouldn't be so mean to me! (runs out)

 * Cheng: I know you... You're-
 * Tibald: I am Tibald Yee. And judging by the striking resemblance to your father, you must be my grandson. Cheng.

(Cheng runs up and hugs Tibald)

 * Diwan: Commander Oslo, I have just been to Tibald's lab. He is months behind schedule on the defence system.
 * Oslo: I have received reports of unmanned patrollers flying unauthorized missions from there. Six in the past two days alone.
 * Diwan: Can we assume they are part of his research?
 * Oslo: No. All testing is conducted exclusively within Sphere territory. He's sending them out to the far corners of the Archipelago. He's up to something.
 * Diwan: I'll never trust him.
 * Oslo: Go back to his lab. Tell him I will arrive in 24 hours for a full demonstration of the defence systems.
 * Diwan: It will be my pleasure.
 * Oslo: Do not enjoy yourself too much. Nothing can happen to Tibald. He is too valuable.
 * Diwan: Yes, Commander.

Life In Puerto Angel(AKA Max) (1.13)

 * Max: Dear, what a ride. Certainly the last for this old junker. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Max and this is my daughter, Astrid.

(Astrid gets out of the taxi and waves)
 * Astrid: Hey there.
 * Mahad: Hello...

 * Max: Keep your eyes on the ace of hearts. Always the ace of hearts.

Conversation

 * Lena: Wait... You're a good brother, you know? As far as brothers go...
 * Mahad: And you're a good sister. Even though being a seijin makes you worry to much.

 * Lena: He won't make it to Puerto Angel, Mahad. We need to take him where he wanted to go. He must've been going there for a reason. (looks down at the unconscious Oslo) I think he's dying.

 * Mahad: What are you doing? You're giving him some of your energy, are you nuts!?
 * Lena: He'll die if I don't.

 * Oslo: So, finally we are together.
 * Lena: If I were you, I'd save my strength. You're not getting any more from me!
 * Oslo: Take me to Vandergaard...
 * Mahad: You're not giving the orders around here, Oslo.
 * Oslo: Take me to Darius!

 * Baldr: Yes, master?
 * Darius: My brother is coming.
 * Baldr: Oslo is coming here?
 * Darius: Yes. Prepare the light room.

 * Oslo: Light chamber...
 * Mahad: How's he doing?
 * Lena: Barely conscious. He's just repeating the same things over and over.

 * Darius: Our mother died when we were young boys. We both owe it to her memory to live.

 * Oslo: Remember our mother, Darius?
 * Darius: She died so that we both might live.
 * Baldr: You evil- (Went to lunge after Oslo, but is stopped by Darius)

 * Darius: My brother and I were born just minutes apart. Oslo was the first. If I wasn't born just after him, he would be even more powerful than he is today.
 * Lena: You don't know that.
 * Oslo: Without my brother, the seijin energy drained by his weaker vessel would've stayed with me. Where it truly belongs.

 * Baldr: Darius is a living reminder of Oslo's own weakness. That is why he keeps him here in exile.
 * Mahad: But Oslo is not weak. I mean he's sick now, but-
 * Baldr: For Oslo, anything but ultimate power is weakness.

 * Cortes: Mahad, we are approaching the coordinates. What is your status?
 * Mahad: The status is, I've got to get this baby fired up!

 * Darius: Oslo... What have I done to my brother?

 * Oslo: (struggles to his feet) My power. I'm back; stronger than ever... (erupts in blue flame) 'til we meet again! Muahuhahaha!

Conversation

 * Cortes: Young lady, the Blockbuster is never wrong.

 * Lena: Jump!

(Lena jumps off the arena)
 * Tak: Is she crazy? We can't fly!

Conversation

 * Cortes: I have no time to engage in small talk with want-a-be dictators. What do you want?
 * Diwan: I want you, your ship, and the seijin girl.

Conversation

 * Wayan: Speak of the devil.
 * Christophe: Aran, it's been so long. Give me a big hug.

(Aran Cortes walks out the door) (Christophe turns around and walks up to the counter)
 * Christophe: Well, guess I'll just have a water then. (Adrian gives him a water canteen) Thanks.
 * Lena: Excuse me, you look familiar. Have we met?
 * Christophe: No, we haven't met. But I'm not surprised about looking familiar. (turns around) Allow me to introduce myself. I am an expert at navigation, a master of mechanics, and a negotiator extraordinaire. My name is Christophe Medias Theodore Cortes. Captain of the Callisto, at your service. (to Dahlia) But you may call me Chris. (winks)
 * Mahad: What? Your last name is Cortes?

(Christophe laughs)

 * Lena: You two are brothers?
 * Cortes: Aye, but I had no choice in the matter.
 * Christophe: Nothing like family to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
 * Cortes: I've got one question for you. When are you leaving?

 * Mahad: Aran?
 * Christophe: He never told you his first name? Aran is his first name. And his nickname is Little Turtle!

 * Christophe: I have a plan.
 * Cortes: Don't you think you've done enough?
 * Christophe: I want to talk to her.
 * Cortes: To Diwan?
 * Christophe: She trusts me. I'll talk to her an negotiate a surrender.

 * Cortes: What's the signal?
 * Christophe: You'll understand. You're my brother after all.
 * Cortes: How do I know I can trust you?
 * Christophe: You do things your way and I do things mine.

Conversation

 * Poe: Your Monolith is on its way.
 * Mahad: No, that's the Sphere!

 * Oslo: Destroy the orphanage!

Conversation

 * Cheng: This convector is junk!
 * Patrucci: You asked for a convector and that's exactly what you've got. Buyer beware.

 * Lena: Now let's see if there's a Sphere agent hiding in this closet, shall we?

(Lena opens the closet doors and the hiding Alice flinched)(Lena closes the doors)
 * Lena: Nope.

 * Diwan: I thought you showed so much promise, but I was wrong. You're only good for office work at the other side of Skyland.
 * Alice: I will be committed to my work where ever you station me. Believe me.

Conversation

 * Mahad: A dream is not real, Lena. Except when I dream about Dahlia, of course.
 * Dahlia: Dreaming about you would be called a nightmare.

 * Lena: I think I know how to find your mother.
 * Spencer: Really?
 * Mahad: You don't have to be a seijin to know what you're thinking. The answer's no!

 * Lena: Who's keeping you prisoner?
 * Shinseiki: Prisoner? You are my honoured guests.

 * Shinseiki: The blocks are talking to me... We have guests... Uninvited guests! I loath the unexpected!

 * Mahad: We need a plan.
 * Dahlia: Not really. We're drifting directly toward the tower.
 * Mahad: Well, that's as good a plan as any.

 * Shinseiki: Want to give up?
 * Dahlia: I haven't even warmed up!

 * Mahad: (in a bubble) Hey, what's going on? Let me out of this thing!

 * Shinseiki: Ah yes, you're right. The time has come to fulfill the prophecy!

 * Mahad: I hope your next dream is about a vacation.
 * Lena: Me too.

Conversation

 * Lena: (about the space suit) You think there's someone in there?
 * Mahad: I hope not.

 * Lena: Countess says to let the book find us!
 * Mahad: Hey, book! Here I am! Come find me!

 * Countess Kondratti: I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, Oslo!

(Countess fires a seijin blast at Oslo, knocking him to the ground)
 * Mahad: Oh yeah, ectoplasm girls rule!

 * Oslo: Give me the book!
 * Countess Kondratti: What book?
 * Oslo: I have no patience for games!

(Countess begins levitating books over Oslo)
 * Countess Kondratti: Fine, which one do you want? (Drops the books on top of Oslo) You can have them all!
 * Diwan: Commander!

 * The Vector: Do you know what 'Kondratti' means?
 * Mahad: Spooky librarian lady?

Conversation

 * Mahad: (walks up to a Brig) Hi.
 * Brig: Open trunk for inspection.
 * Mahad: Sorry, can't do that. There's a photo tech packet inside. It's light-sensitive.
 * Brig: I repeat, open trunk for inspection.
 * Mahad: I need to calibrate the, uh... oscillator so that the dampening field can maximize the anti-seijin waves. See... the light packets have, uh, to interact at just the righ, uh, frequency so the node field will, uh, stop the prisoner. Get it?
 * Brig: This is beyond the perimeters of my understanding.
 * Mahad: Okay, call Diwan. Maybe she can explain it to you.
 * Brig: Proceed.

 * Oslo: You're treating Mahad and Lena being on board like it's a problem instead of an opportunity.
 * Diwan: An opportunity for what?
 * Oslo: Inveritably they will try to rescue their mother and I will be there to great them. Soon we will have the whole family. Call off your search.

 * Oslo: (about Lena using her powers in the dark) How is that possible!?

Conversation

 * Lena: Crybaby, crybaby, crybaby!

Conversation

 * Lena: I felt connected to him.
 * Mahad: Gross...

 * Mahad: I hope you have a map.
 * Pharaoh: I always have one on me.

 * Diwan: Should I call in reinforcements, Commander?
 * Oslo: No... it's futile.
