Quotes
-
Kwame : [on his computer, Linka shows Clash photos of the Berlin Wall's falling] The world has changed, Commander. Borders have opened. A new peace has begun. The enemy you were guarding against no longer exists.
Commander Clash : This is a lie!
[slams his fist on the control desk, the picture fades]
Kwame : You saw the truth with your own eyes, Commander. Accept it. This radar station is no longer needed.
Commander Clash : [picks up a telephone] Home Base, this is Watchdog. Report, Homebase. Is Watchdog necessary? Report.
[pauses as his gets a reply]
Commander Clash : Watchdog... no longer necessary?
[listens to another response]
Commander Clash : Obsolete?
[hangs up and walks across the room]
Commander Clash : If this station is obsolete, then... so am I.
Linka : But that is not true. You are brave, and intelligent.
Wheeler : The world will always need people like you.
Ma-Ti : When we leave this island, we want you to come with us, Commander Clash.
Commander Clash : No. I am like this equipment, no longer needed. OBSOLETE.
-
Gi : At least Clash gave us tools to repair the Geocruiser.
Ma-Ti : Yes. But it is too bad he lacks the courage to come with us.
Wheeler : What're you talking about? Clash is just about the bravest guy I ever met!
Ma-Ti : To fight an enemy, yes. But to face a new world - no.
Kwame : Ma-Ti is right. The greatest courage is the courage to change. And I fear the Commander may not find that courage.

Ma-Ti : [approaching him on the beach] You are wrong about yourself, Commander.
Commander Clash : Why do you say that?
Ma-Ti : [gestures to his bulldozer with natural, clean weapons built in] A relic would not build that, or solar generators, or water-wheels like at your camp.
Kwame : [showing up with the others] And who better to lead the mission to save Earth than yourself?
Ma-Ti : Please, Commander. If you do not help us stop Captain Pollution and his friends, the entire world could look like that.
[points to the trees Captain Pollution burned, Clash's expression hardens and he lowers his gaze]
Commander Clash : [looking at them again] Very well. I *will* lead you.
