The Last Starfighter - Cultural Differences in Home Environments
Alex Rogan: [they are inside an asteroid, hiding from the armada]
This reminds you of home????
Grig:
Aaah, yes, I live below ground with my wifeoid and six thousand little Griglings. At least, until Xur turns them into slaves. Where does your kind live?
Alex Rogan:
In houses, mostly, that's caves above ground. I live in a mobile home.
Grig:
What is that?
Alex Rogan:
It is like a cave that goes places. Only we never went anywhere.
Grig:
A mobile cave that never went anywhere. Fascinating.

The Last Starfighter - Surprise Strategy in a Desperate Situation
Alex Rogan:
Hold it! There's no fleet, no Starfighters, no plan? One ship, you, me and that's it?
Grig:
Exactly! Xur thinks you're still on Earth. Classic military strategy: surprise attack.
Alex Rogan:
It'll be a slaughter!
Grig:
That's the spirit!
Alex Rogan:
No, MY slaughter! One ship against the whole armada?
Grig:
Yes, one Gunstar against the armada. I've always wanted to fight a desperate battle against incredible odds.

The Last Starfighter - Confusion Over Starfighter Hangar Status
Alex Rogan: [as they prepare to launch]
Wait a minute... when did the hangar go up?
Grig:
I told you, when Xur attacked!
Alex Rogan:
And where were the Starfighters?
Grig:
In the hangar!
Alex Rogan:
You mean they're dead?
Grig: [scoffs]
Death is a primitive concept; I prefer to think of them as battling evil, in another dimension!
Alex Rogan:
In another dimension?! How many are left?
Grig:
Including yourself?
Alex Rogan:
Yeah!
Grig:
One!
Alex Rogan:
ONE?!

Alex Rogan:
What did you do to Maggie?!
Beta:
Do to her?! We were looking up at the stars and she sticks her tongue in my ear. I screamed. I'll apologize to her tomorrow, okay?
Alex Rogan:
You're not gonna be here. You're going back to Centauri right now!
Louis Rogan: [trying to sleep, angry]
What's up, Alex?
Alex Rogan:
Back to sleep, Louis, or I'm telling Mom about your Playboys!
Beta: [as Alex is walking out]
You're blowing it, Alex.
Louis Rogan: [looks down from the bed, shocked]
What the?!
Beta: [imitating Alex]
I said back to sleep, Louis, or I'm telling Mom about your Playboys!

The Last Starfighter - Exploring Identity Through Simuloids in Dialogue
Alex Rogan: [shocked]
Hey, you look like me!
Beta:
Of course I do. I'm a beta unit.
Alex Rogan:
What the hell is a beta unit?!
Beta:
A beta unit is a simuloid. An exact duplicate of you, only not as loud.
Alex Rogan:
Huh????
Beta:
I was in the Starcar, remember? We shook hands. I became you, unfortunately.
Alex Rogan:
Let me get this straight, you're a robot?
Beta:
I beg your pardon. I'm a state-of-the-art, top-of-the-line beta unit, put here as a courtesy replacement for while you are away. Lucky me. Wait a minute... what are you doing back?!
Alex Rogan:
Are you kidding? It's war up there!
Beta:
Oh, save the whales, but not the universe, huh?
Alex:
Why don't you go up there and fight?

The Last Starfighter - Facing Destiny and Embracing Change
Centauri:
Alex, Alex! You're walking away from history! History! Did Chris Columbus say he wanted to stay home? No! What if the Wright Brothers thought that only birds should fly? And did Galoka think that the Yulus were too ugly to save?
Alex Rogan: [confused]
Who's Galoka?
Centauri: [realizing his mistake]
Never mind.
Alex Rogan:
Listen, Centauri. I'm not any of those guys, I'm a kid from a trailer park.
Centauri:
If that's what you think, then that's all you'll ever be!

The Last Starfighter - Conflict Over Money and Talent in Gaming
Rylan Bursar:
Return the money, Centauri.
Centauri:
Return the money?! Are you delirious?! Do you know how long it took to invent the games? To merchandise them? To get them in the stores by Christmas?
Grig:
It must be terribly embarrassing for you and I do sympathize, however--
Centauri:
But I saw him fight! He could be the greatest Starfighter ever!
Alex Rogan:
That was just a game, Centauri!
Centauri:
A game! Well, you may have thought it was a game - but it was also a test! Aha, a test! Sent out across the universe to find those with the gift to be Starfighters. And here you are, my boy! Here you are!
Alex Rogan:
Right, here I am, about to be killed!
Centauri:
Killed! You don't seriously think it's dangerous, do you? Don't be silly! Trust me!

The Last Starfighter - Delightful Welcome Among Friends
Rylan Bursar: [disgustedly]
Rrrr... E sanchay!
Centauri:
E sanchay! Onee mat swella! Preeta! Preeta!
Alex Rogan:
Centauri, what's going on?
Centauri:
He's just saying how delighted he is that you are here, and if there's anything that he can do to make your stay more enjoyable, just give him a ring.
Alex Rogan:
My stay! What are you talking about? Where are we?
Centauri:
Welcome to Rylos, my boy!
Alex Rogan:
Rylos! Wait a minute... you mean, you mean... like in the game?
Centauri: [muttering; out loud]
Oh, he's quick! He's quick! He's very quick! He's speechless! So long, Alex! Have fun! May the luck of the Seven Pillars of Gulu be with you at all times. Oh, someday these cheapskates will thank Centauri, trust me. BOOLA!

The Last Starfighter - Fate and Surprises in Unexpected Encounters
Centauri:
The amusing thing about this is, it's all a big mistake. That particular Starfighter game was supposed to be delivered to Vegas, not some flea-speck trailer park in the middle of tumbleweeds and tarantulas. So it must be fate, destiny, blind chance, luck even, that brings us together. And as the poet said, "the rest is history.
Alex Rogan:
Where are you going? Where are you taking me?
Centauri: [singsong voice]
I told you, I want to save it for a surprise. Hey, are you kind of kid who reads the last page of a mystery first? Who pesters the magician to tell you his tricks? Who sneaks downstairs to peek at his Christmas presents? No, of course you're not. That's why I'm not gonna tell you!
Alex Rogan:
Oh, God.
Centauri:
Besides, I just love surprises, don't you?

Centauri:
Hello. Excuse me, son.
Alex Rogan:
Store's closed, mister.
Centauri:
I'm not here for cigarettes or bubble gum, my boy. Can you tell me the name of the person who broke the record on that game over there, and where I might find him?
Alex Rogan:
Alex Rogan, and you're lookin at him.
Centauri: [laughs]
Alex Rogan.
Alex Rogan:
Who are you?
Centauri:
Centauri's the name. I invented Starfighter, which is why I'm here.
Alex Rogan:
It is?
Centuari: [gestures toward the back seat of his car]
It is. We have to talk about a matter of utmost importance Step into my office.
