Quotes
-
Ma-Ti : Wow, are we glad to see you!
Gi : But what are you doing here? Did that crazy soldier capture you, too?
Commander Clash : [from behind] No. He did not. The "crazy soldier" is letting you all go.
-
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Commander Clash : If this station is obsolete, then...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.
-
Wheeler : [grinning] If anybody can beat those creeps, it's Commander Clash.
Commander Clash : Once, maybe, but not now. I am a... a relic. I am of no use to you. This is not my kind of mission.
[exits the plane]
-
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.
-
Ma-Ti : [Clash hands out a sonic jackhammer, a portable wind-generator, a wrist-mounted flame-thrower, and a water-pump backpack to replace four of the stolen rings] But what about... Heartpower? You cannot replace *that* with technology.
Commander Clash : I don't have to. No one can take away your heart-power, Ma-Ti. And your sharing it has given me the strength to do what I must do: help the mission to save Earth.
