Quotes
-
Sven : [pushes back the two boulders he parted to get into the cave] Now you're safe, so why don't you get out of here!
Princess Romelle : What do you mean get out of here?
Sven : Just what I said: go away! Get out of my sight!
Princess Romelle : What's the matter with you?
Sven : What do you think? I'm crazy, can't you tell?
[Romelle starts]
Sven : Yeah, you got it. I'm a wild man. I live in these tunnels eating roots and mushrooms. I'm crazy. I could do anything!
Princess Romelle : [Gasps] No. I *knew* I recognized your face. You look different, but...
Sven : But what? I was an unknown slave before I ran away to these caves. So if you think you know me, well - you must have mistaken me...
[puts the candle down, lowers his voice]
Sven : ...for somebody else.
Princess Romelle : No, I didn't. You used to be the best navigator in the Alliance. Then you joined the Voltron Force.
Sven : What are you saying? With a crazy brain like I have, do you think they'd let me join the Voltron Force? Now go away!
Princess Romelle : [nudges his pointing hand down and crosses her arms] No. You try to act mean, but you're kind; you're not crazy or you wouldn't have saved me. I know you *now*.
[points]
Princess Romelle : You're Sven, the Blue Lion.
Sven : How dare you! Who do you think you are, coming here and talking about Sven? There *is* no Sven!
Princess Romelle : Why are you saying that?
Sven : Because the Sven you speak of is gone. He was nothing but a failure. A *failure*.
Princess Romelle : No, that's not true. Sven was no failure.
-
Princess Romelle : If it wasn't for Sven, the Planet Arus would have been lost.
Sven : But he lost. He was beaten.
[starts to cry and throws his head back to howl in anguish before sinking to the ground]
Sven : Do you know what that's like? I couldn't move. I could hardly breathe.
Princess Romelle : [nods] Yes. But, Sven, it wasn't your fault.
Sven : So? I still failed. While I was in the hospital Zarkon's fleet attacked. It was a small planet and they couldn't defend themselves. And I couldn't help them. I was brought with the others to be a slave - on Planet Doom. But when they saw I couldn't work, they left me without food or water. I lay there, remembering, dreaming. Sometimes I imagined that I saw myself as I used to be.
Sven : [in a flashback his former self appears hovering over him causing him to gasp] You must escape from Planet Doom. Remember, you're part of the Voltron Force.
Sven : [to the fading image of his self] How can I escape? Tell me - please!
Sven : [repeating the two words he said aloud at the time] But then I realized it was just - a dream. That's when I escaped to the caves. I'll never be the man I used to be.
Princess Romelle : Yes you will, Sven.
-
Princess Romelle : Let's call the Voltron Force.
Sven : I told you I won't call them; I *can't* call them, don't you understand? I let them down.
[turns away in shame]
-
Princess Romelle : [horrified at the way Lotor attacks the slaves to find her] I can't allow this. I must show myself to them.
Sven : [gripping her wrist then shoulders] No! You are needed on your planet. You are the only one that knows the key - the key that can save millions of your people. You must get back to them.
-
Sven : [covering with his laser-rifle] Run for the ship!
Princess Romelle : I can't leave them, I can't!
Sven : They're doing their part; do yours!
Princess Romelle : Someday we'll come back, and we'll free *all* the slaves on Planet Doom!
-
Sven : [hears her adjusting the controls] What are you doing?
Princess Romelle : I'm going to save Voltron with your help. You will be my navigator.
Sven : No!
Princess Romelle : You must keep my on target. Just call out the space-coordinates.
Sven : All right, I'll try it. It's been so long... Here it goes. Coming in at X-37 14-V and leveling. Add 91 and 40 to Atom 4. Sink to cool level at Onik 7 and increase velocity at Code E to 11.
Keith : He's comin'.
Sven : 103 - 102 - 101...
Princess Allura : Good luck.
Sven : And we're on-target.
Princess Romelle : [fires] You've got it, Sven. I knew you could still do it.

[last lines]
Keith : [clasping his hands] My friend.
Sven : Keith, I'm going to stay here with Romelle.
Princess Romelle : [Allura approaches her and Bandor] Cousin.
Princess Allura : Romelle!
Prince Bandor : Princesses together!
Sven : [turns back to Keith] She gave me back to life.
Keith : I'm glad, Sven. And remember, you'll always be a part of the Voltron Force. So if you ever need us back here on Planet Pollux, just call us. We'll be waitin' for ya.
