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?

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.

Delightful Welcome Among Friends
Rylan Bursar
Rrrr... E sanchay!
[disgustedly]
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?

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
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!
[singsong voice]
Alex Rogan
Oh, God.
Centauri
Besides, I just love surprises, don't you?

Confusion Over Starfighter Hangar Status
Alex Rogan
Wait a minute... when did the hangar go up?
[as they prepare to launch]
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
Death is a primitive concept; I prefer to think of them as battling evil, in another dimension!
[scoffs]
Alex Rogan
In another dimension?! How many are left?
Grig
Including yourself?
Alex Rogan
Yeah!
Grig
One!
Alex Rogan
ONE?!

Cultural Differences in Home Environments
Alex Rogan
This reminds you of home????
[they are inside an asteroid, hiding from the armada]
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.

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
Who's Galoka?
[confused]
Centauri
Never mind.
[realizing his mistake]
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!

Alex Rogan
Alex Rogan, and you're lookin at him.

[laughs]

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!

Exploring Identity Through Simuloids in Dialogue
Alex Rogan
Hey, you look like me!
[shocked]
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?
