Escape from Planet Earth (2013) - Quotes

Gary: Kira, Kip's gone! Kip's gone!

Gary: [referring to the "Dark Planet"] It's too risky to send Scorch out there. Please!

Lena: Drop it, Gary. I'm warning you.

Gary: I'm the mission controller! Does nobody here care what I think?

Lena: No.

Scorch: Not really.

Barry: Nope.

Gary: Then why am I even here?

Lena: It'll be fine, Gary. He's done this 100 times.

Gary: [to Scorch] We've done this 100 times. We're a team. I'm the brains and you're the brawn. That's what you always said.

Scorch: I said it to make you feel better, little brother.

Gary: [frustrated] Scorch, stop calling me that!

Scorch: [slurps from a can of Dark Planet Cola] You've been trying to control me your whole life. Isn't that why you joined Mission Control?

Gary: I'm looking out for you. That's what brothers do.

Scorch: Oh please. You sit around here pushing buttons while I am out there risking my neck.

Gary: Oh yeah? I'd like to see you do it without me.

Scorch: Any time, any place, little brother.

Gary: If you insist on going through with this idiotic macho stunt, you can count me out.

Scorch: [confused; jumps down in anger] You're gonna quit? Well, you can't quit! Y-You're FIRED!

Gary: [he walks away and the doors close behind him] You can't fire me. Because I QUIT!

Kip: Supernova 9, you are go for remote assistance!

Lena: You were the one who wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. So why don't you stay at home and let me do my job?

Plarbe: [during the food fight] People, people, where are your manners?

Io: [gasps in terror] INCOMING!!!

Io: ['''Doc''': Forget the program!; Doc slaps her in the face] What about the program? AH!

Io: [dancing] Get down with your bad self!

Io: You can't beat the weather.

Doc: [Shanker turns around; nervously approaches] Ahem! Excuse me, sir. Sorry to interrupt. Just wondering approximately what time you'll be sending us home.

Doc: [Shanker glares at him] Ooh... I told these guys "You'd better not food fight!", but they did. I'mma sweep this up.

Doc: We have lots of alien delicacies. Blorm, phrebbish, zumft, diet zumft, free-range zumft, non-dairy gluten-free zumft, and if you're looking for somethin a bit more refined, we got fresh plarbe.

Doc: Those are the Grays. No-one knows what Shanker's got on em, but they do his bidding. So don't get on their bad side, understand?

Doc: [montage begins; montage ends] There's only 1 way outta here: invent enough cool stuff and Shanker lets you go. That's how {{w|Area 51}} works. He lures the smartest aliens from across the universe and throws us in jail. Take Thurman. He was a professor. Those 4 hands invented {{w|touchscreen}} technology. Or Io. She used to be a librarian. She got so mad lookin stuff up for people that she invented the {{w|search engine}}. And most importantly, me. After my radio show got famous, I invented {{w|social networking}}. I've got 5 billion pending friend requests. That's how Shanker bankrolls this place: he rips off our technology and sells it to the world. He's got deals with everybody! {{w|Apple Inc.|Apple}}, {{w|Facebook}}, them {{w|Google}} guys. You think you could build this stuff? I don't think so. Who do you think invented the {{w|Internet}}? {{w|Cellphones}}? {{w|Computer animation}}? We did!

Thurman: That's Gary's planet!

Thurman: [seeing the Blubonium pulsating] Uh, Gary, is that normal?

Thurman: Quiet! I need to concentrate. My 3rd eye, it's messing me up. I can't do it!

Thurman: [about Shanker] His quiet anger is even angrier than his loud one.

Thurman: [repeated line] Pleased to meet you.

Shanker: [last lines] You're gonna pay for this.

Shanker: Report to the Peace Shield on the double.

Shanker: My old friend, {{w|Halley's Comet}}. Not back for another 50 years. So...who's gonna miss it?

Shanker: You can whine till you're blue in the face, but I call the shots around here.

Shanker: Blubonium, 10000 times more powerful than atomic energy.

Scorch: [his arm gets frozen] Hey, Gary, check it out! The freezing wore off! AW, C'MON!!!

Scorch: I saved millions of innocent aliens cause that's what heroes do. You failed at your evil plans cause that's what villains do. And this crumb got stuck on my face cause that's what crumbs do.

Scorch: [smiles for the camera] The Dark Planet. It's heroic, even for me. No-one has ever come back alive.

Scorch: [repeated line] Scorch me, baby!

Gary: [punches Shanker] I thought I told you, we come in PEACE!

Gary: [to Scorch, who is frozen; sighs; valves open to release a purple fluid flooding the tube; liquid rises; inhales deeply, temperature drops to 0; he is frozen] I don't know if you can hear me, but...I'm sorry. My plan was to get you out of here, not end up frozen beside you. I failed you. I failed my family. All the planning in the world doesn't amount to anything without a hero to make it happen. I tried, brother! I'm sorry! Scorch...

Gary: Let's get outta here.

Gary: [referring to Scorch] There's only 1 creature in the universe that snores that loud.

Gary: [hitting the bars with a coffee mug] You can't do this! I know my rights!

Gary: Time to watch your old man bring in the Supernova 9 for a landing.
