Welcome.

You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don't know exactly when we turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide... and only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I'm breaking now. We said we'd say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn't. Nature is lethal but it doesn't hold a candle to man.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

Send a detachment down to retrieve them, and see to it personally, Commander. There'll be no one to stop us this time! Dantooine. They're on Dantooine.

Well excuse me, Judge Reinhold! No, I was ashamed to be SEEN with you. I like being with you. No, no, it's pronounced a-nal-ra-pist. I don't criticize you! And if you're worried about criticism, sometimes a diet is the best defense. I'm foolish and I'm funny and I'm needy. Am I needy? Are you sure I'm not needy? 'Cause I feel needy sometimes. One of the guys told me to take my head out of my BOTTOM and get back to work…my BOTTOM! Fried cheese… with club sauce. Popcorn shrimp… with club sauce. Chicken fingers… with spicy club sauce. What do you expect, Mother? I'm half machine! I'm a monster!!
