Quotes |
Commander Hung:
[appearing as a hologram]
So good evening, teacher! Tracy Lee: [gasps] What's that? Michael: Hey, look there. [Tracy looks and Michael applies a pressure point, causing Tracy to faint] Michael: I don't want trouble commander. But if you threaten my friends... I'll interfere. Commander Hung: I think you're confusing the facts, teacher! You were created to kill... you were not created to serve and protect. These humans may find your powers impressive, but against the 701 Squad you are not invincible. The 701 Squad now answers to no-one, and together we can have the absolute power! Michael: I think when you lost all your feelings commander, you lost something else along the way. I think you lost your mind. Commander Hung: Listen to me! I'll let you come back with us immediately. No other chance! Michael: I belong here! Not with you! Commander Hung: So you want to feel again? Very sweet. Goodbye then, teacher... that's all. Sorry to hurt your feelings. See more » |
