Into the Lion's Den, Part 2: Wolf In Sheep's Clothing
Scorpious: You listen to me John. I don't care about your home world, your entire species, live or die, means nothing to me. What interests me is that they matter to you.
John: Do you think holding a freakin' gun on my planet is going to motivate me to help you?
Scorpious: I have run out of time.Scorpious: That Commandant bitch will return here any time. I must be able to report success or she's going to (indecipherable) my wormhole project and soon the Scarrens will rule half this galaxy.
John: Oh Grasshopper, you're so screwed.
Scorpious: (throws John) If I am screwed John, things around here are going to get very ugly.Aeryn: But if Crais is going to stop the experiment in a few days then we have already succeeded.
John: No Scorpious is in Captain Queeg mode, somebody's stolen his strawberries and he's not going to let his pet project die.
Aeryn: How's he planning to stop Grayza?
John: We're talking about Scorpious, you prepared to bet against him?Chiana: The scuttlebutt on the ship: this Grayza's got Scorpious's mivonks in one hedzmona of a vice.
Chiana: Is it possible to blow up the whole ship?
John: It's armed to the teeth. We can blow the munitions store. Hell, we can stick a banana in the tailpipe.Rygel: I did see what the Scarrens were able to do. Even if by some wild miracle I manage to regain my throne I won't hold it for long if the Peacekeepers have this technology. I know what horrible destruction wormholes can wreak. Nobody should weld such power. Nobody.
John: Would he do it?
Scorpy Clone: Hm? Oh, would Scorpious actually attack Earth? If you fail in delivering the wormhole answers…Would he set out on a sixty-cycle mission to destroy an insignificant planet? Oh I wouldn't ever underestimate Scorpious's resolve for retribution John. If he feels he's been…
John: (moving checkers) Oh wait.
Scorpy Clone: Hey took your hand off! (moves checker around board) Got any three's? Yes. So tell me John, if you do develop wormhole tech and gain the ability to return home, would you really destroy that information?
John: Got any sixes?
Scorpy Clone: Go fish! Ha ha!Henta: Don't make her soft Aeryn.
Aeryn: So much you don't know Henta.Chiana: Hey c'mon we've been in worse scrapes than this.
D'Argo: I was a Peacekeeper prisoner for eight cycles and I think that I spent every single solar day trying to escape.
Rygel: Last time it took me one hundred and thirty to escape.
Jool: A hundred thirty cycles?
Rygel: Heh. I was lucky.Crais: All that I have cared for are gone. My parents taken away from me. My brother dead. So now I live, I plan, do, all in the service of my own interests. In that I believe I am not unique in the universe.
John: Snap this up I gotta get back.
Crais: Despite all of this, I understand the power of the technology Scorpious is attempting to harness. I understand the horror that will wash over this galaxy if anyone welds this weapon. And last of all, I now know that I am the only individual capable of stopping it.
John: Have fun.John: Where do we meet up with you and Talyn?
Crais: You don't. Starburst in a confined space where the energy can't dissipate will be the hero's death that Talyn deserves.
John: You're going to die.Crais: If you suspect anything you must report it. Do not be disloyal to Scorpious in any way.
Lt. Larell: Tell me…
Crais: (slaps her) Tell Scorpious it's not going to work. Next time he sends someone to spy on me, send someone I care about.Pilot: Moya understands. She says it is best this way. Talyn was always destined for a violent end. This then will at least be a noble one. We may never see any of you again.
John: Pilot, just be ready to starburst if you don't see us hauling ass toward you. You give Moya my love.
Pilot: And her love to you, as well as mine.John: Read the middle finger Scorpy I have a thought forming in my head as to why this primitive ship with no shielding allows me to survive wormholes. I'm gonna check it out.
Scorpious: Which pilot is ready for deployment?
John: Oh no. No, no. Nobody flies it but me. One of your bozos screws up and bye-bye birdie.
Scorpious: You could die John.
John: Yes. I could die. If I don't kick this project in the ass before Commandant Cleavage gets back she's going to execute me anyway right? What? You worried if I turn to silly putty, so do you? Why don't you come with me? C'mon Grasshopper you spent your life in search of wormholes, let me introduce you to one, up close and personal. Unless of course you're too scared.John: Huh, what do you think?
Scorpious: This is without a description John.
John: It's a real Kodak moment.Scorpious: What is causing this John?
John: Flying threw wormholes ain't like dusting crops farm boy. It takes a little finesse.Scorpious: I've never felt this connected John.
John: You're not going all mushy on me back there are you?Crais: Scorpious, I am just making my final good-byes.
Scorpious: Where are you Crais?
Crais: I am standing in your heart, and I am about to squeeze.Crais: You are the most repellant of creatures Scorpious. You weren't born into Peacekeepers. You weren't conscripted against your will. You chose to be one.
Crais: The last time I left this ship, my ship, I did so under a veil of secrecy. You forced that situation. You took away my Command. You stole my life from me. Now this time Scorpious, I am not leaving quietly.
Scorpious: Somebody find that fool and get him out of that ship!John: (to Scorpious) I suggest you hang on to something.
Crais: Talyn, starburst.
John: It is not just science. It is never just science. It's a weapon. It kills, and I would not let the Peacekeepers have it. Do you understand me?
Co-Kura: Yes I understand. But you still hold the knowledge in your mind.
John: Then I'll have to be very, very careful.John: Looks like our partnership is over.
Scorpious: John Crichton. Commander John Crichton. Generations will know that name, because of you very soon the Scarrens will destroy us.
John: One evil at a time. That's the best I can do.John: Tell me Gandhi. Are you still going after Earth?
Scorpious: To what purpose? Vengeance against you? The only vengeance I cared about is no longer within my grasp.Scorpious: I may not be getting off this ship John. Good-bye Crichton.
D'Argo: We all knew the time would come when we'd split up. In the beginning I would never even believe it could take so long.
Rygel: Don't think I'm going to miss you, any of you. I'm not. Well, maybe a little bit.Pilot: Should we manage to reunite you with your people, will you be leaving us?
Jool: From what I can tell Pilot, I won't be the only one leaving Moya soon.
