Skeletor's Ultimatum to He-Man
Skeletor Stay where you are, He-Man! One more move and your friends will not live to see another day! I give you a choice. Return with me to Eternia as my slave and save their despicable lives, or perish with them on this primitive and tasteless planet. Surrender your sword!
Power Struggle Over Grayskull
Evil-Lyn After all this time, Grayskull is ours.
Skeletor NO!! Mine.
[whips around; Evil-Lyn shoots him an angered glare; he sits down]
Sorceress The power of Grayskull has not yet passed to you.
Skeletor Oh. Someone is speaking to me. Yes... Sorceress. My lovely prisoner, my prisoner at last. I've won. I've won. The darkness is rising to embrace you.
[mockingly; approaches her and stabs the Havoc Staff in the floor]
Sorceress The dark can embrace the light but never eclipse it. You've not won yet, Skeletor. He-Man is still alive. I can feel it.
Skeletor Really? How sensitive you are. Can you feel... this?!
The Power of the Universe Unleashed
Taglines The live-action motion picture.
Skeletor's Command to Track He-Man and Key
Skeletor Find them. Trace them! I want them and that key hunted down and brought to me!
Evil-Lyn It looked as if he was punching the keys at random. There's no way of telling where they might have gone.
Skeletor Monitor the frequencies! Wherever they are, they'll use it again. When they do, lock it in. He-Man lives and possesses that key! I must possess all or I possess nothing. Find them.
Skeletor's Ultimatum in Grayskull Battle
He-Man Let her go.
Skeletor I don't think so. No. While she remains imprisoned within this field, her powers increase my own. And when the moon reaches its zenith, the Great Eye will open, and all the powers of Grayskull will be bestowed upon me! Your wonderous Sorceress... will die.
Man-At-Arms You dare threaten her life?!
[appalled but trying to keep Skeletor distracted]
Skeletor I dare anything! I am Skeletor! Throw down your weapons and pledge yourselves to me... or you will join her.
He-Man It's not her you want, it's me. It's always been between us.
Skeletor Silence.
Skeletor's Demand for Loyalty and Surrender
Skeletor Not the way to treat you beloved ruler. Throw down your weapons or you die!
Skeletor's Struggle for Control and Power
Skeletor Why is there still resistance? The people must know that I am Grayskull. I depend upon you for these things. You know that.
[as he strokes her face and shoulder]
Evil-Lyn The people... wait for He-Man. They believe that he will return to lead them. For you to rule completely, he must be destroyed.
[whispers; ecstatically; seductively]
Skeletor He-Man? If I kill him, I make him a martyr, a saint. No, I want him broken.
Skeletor Where is the Key?
[not liking what he's seeing]
Karg We, uh-uh, traced the Key's, uh, signal, uh, but were unable to take possession of it.
[nervously; stammering]
Skeletor Is that all?
[not liking what he just heard]
Karg We-We fought with the Eternians, but, uh, were outnumbered. We thought it wise to return alive and gather a larger force. And--
Skeletor So He-Man's free?! You are all aware of the penalty... for failure?
[stands up; absolutely furious; the mercenaries look around nervously]
Blade Give me one more chance, Lord Skeletor, and we will succeed.
[pleadingly; fearing death]
Skeletor I am not in the giving vein this day.
[incinerates Saurod with lightning]
Skeletor GET AWAY!!!!
[disgusted and angrily]
Karg He begs for your forgiveness, as do we all. We-We live only to serve you.
[pleadingly]
Evil-Lyn It would be a pity to waste their talents.
Skeletor Save your pity for yourself! If you fail. Take them and whatever troops and resources you need.
[pushing her away from her towards the mercenaries; annoyed]
Evil-Lyn I was not suggesting that I go.
Skeletor Then you should not have spoken. Leave immediately. When you find the Key, send the sourcing signal, an attack force will join you or I will follow.
Skeletor Declares His Cosmic Dominance
Skeletor People of Eternia, I stand before the Great Eye of the galaxy. Chosen by destiny to receive the powers of Grayskull! This inevitable moment will transpire before your eyes, even as He-Man himself bears witness to it. Now, I, Skeletor, am Master of the Universe! Yes! Yes... I feel it, the power... fills me. Yes, I feel the universe within me! I am... I am a part of the cosmos! Its energy flows... flows through me. Of what consequence are you now? This planet, these people - They are nothing to me - the universe is power, pure, unstoppable power - and I am that force, I am that power! Kneel before your master... ... Fool! You are no longer my equal. I am more than man, more than life! I am a god! Now. You... will... kneel! Kneel!
[He-Man refuses]

For countless ages, the Sorceress of Grayskull has kept this universe in harmony, but the armies of darkness do not rest, and the capture of Grayskull is ever most in their minds.

Warlord The moon rises to its apex.
Skeletor Ah... Do you hear? The Alpha... and the Omega. Death and Rebirth. And as you die, so will I be reborn.

Power Struggle Between He-Man and Skeletor
He-Man I HAVE THE POWER!!
Skeletor No! You will no longer stand between me and my destiny!
[angrily; refusing to accept defeat]
He-Man But I will. I told you that it's always between us.
[unfazed]
Skeletor Oh, I ache to smash you out of existence. To drive your cursed face from my memory forever!
He-Man Enough talk!
Skeletor Yes! Let this be our final battle!
He-Man Skeletor... it's over.
[triumphant; almost out of energy]

Man-At-Arms It is an old Eternian saying. Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another.
Julie Winston Good Journey.

Skeletor Witness this moment, He-Man. This moment where the powers of Grayskull will become mine for eternity. Our life-long battle is ending at last in the only way it could.
Warlord Holosphere, standing by.
Skeletor When the Great Eye opens, the people of Eternia shall see you kneeling to me, just before you die.
He-Man I'll never kneel to you!
[tries to charge at Skeletor, but is blocked by two Warlords]
Skeletor Yes, you will! Yes, you will! Or I shall wreak unforgettable harm upon you.
Confidence Amidst Confrontation and Loss

Detective Lubic The only thing I will miss about Earth is the World Series.
The Consequences of Power and Destiny
Skeletor The final moment has come. All the forces of Grayskull, all the powers in the universe will be vested in me! Me! And you will cease to exist.
[to the heavily weakend, almost dead Sorceress]
Sorceress It is not too late to undo this madness.
Skeletor Madness? I demand the destitution, shame, and loneliness of scorn. It is my destiny, it is my right. Nothing will deter me from it.
[speaking of the Great Eye]
Sorceress Men who crave power... look back over the mistakes of their lives, pile them all together and call it "destiny".
Skeletor Thank you for that bit of philosophy, Sorceress. Here is my response. Yes, Sorceress. The Sword of Grayskull. Mine! Now and forever. Your champion.
[laughs; mockingly; triumphantly; Blade hands him the Sword; installs the Sword in the Great Eye; He-Man is brought forward]

Gwildor It tasted good...
