- Professor Sam Tucker: Once in a great while mankind unlocks a secret so profound that our future is altered forever. Fire, electricity, splitting the atom... At the dawn of the 31st century we unlocked another. It had the potential to change humanity's role in the universe. We called it the "Titan Project," and it was a testament to the limitless power of the human imagination. Perhaps that is what the Drej feared most, for it brought them down upon us without warning and without mercy. Cale, that day, the day that the Drej descended from the sky, the only thing that mattered was keeping you safe.
- [Surprising a group of aliens attacking Cale]
- Korso: If you're going to hunt humans, you should know we travel in packs.
- Cale: Yeah? What is the truth?
- Korso: That the human race is outta gas. It's circling the drain. It's finished! The only thing that matters is grabbing whatcha can before somebody else beats ya to it.
- Cale: No, I don't believe that.
- Korso: Then you're even more like your father than I thought... a fool.
- Cale: Maybe I've been wrong all these years, and it's taken your inspiring speech to make me see it. You've really changed me. It's beautiful. I think we've gotta hug.
- Preed: [attempting to pass himself and Stith off as slave traders and Korso as a slave] Hello. Ah. Uh, I'm an Akrennian trader. I wonder if we might sneak a peek at the new shipment before they go on the market.
- Slave Trader Guard: You're not allowed.
- Preed: Traditionally, no. You're absolutely right. But you see, I need a new slave rather badly.
- [slaps Korso]
- Preed: Stop fidgeting, worm! And I can't wait till auction. I have to be on the shuttle. I have an appointment to have my ear shaved. It has to be booked months in advance. You see my problem.
- Slave Trader Guard: Hmm. You're lying. He's not a slave, and you're not traders.
- Preed: But...
- Slave Trader Guard: [pointing to Korso] He doesn't carry himself like a slave. Look at the way he stands. Probably ex-military.
- Preed: How...
- Slave Trader Guard: Akrennian traders always threaten before they ask a favor. It's tradition.
- [to Stith]
- Slave Trader Guard: And your robes are made out of bedspreads.
- Preed: Ah. Just out of curiosity, did we have a plan " B"?
- [Stith knocks the guard out]
- Preed: Hmm. An intelligent guard. Didn't see that one coming.
- Cale: Everyday I wake up and it's still the present. The same grimy, boring present. I don't think this "future" thing of yours exists.
- Cale: [angry] If I don't like the way things are going I'll show you how much like my father I am. I'll leave!
- [Gune is licking Cale's hand]
- Gune: Hmmm... spaghetti derivative... meatballs, sort of anyway... and... ooh, Kaldorf droppings! Who ate it before you did?
- Preed: [after Stith knocks out the guard outside Akima's cell] An intelligent guard... didn't see that one coming.
- Preed: But it wasn't just the money the Drej were offering. It was their great health plan. They let me live provided I kill all of you before they get here. They should arrive shortly.
- Professor Sam Tucker: [During his posthumous holgraphic message] Cale. If this message has been activated, then I have died before finding you. I hope you can forgive me for breaking my promise to see you again. What I wouldn't give to see you now. I can't change the past, Cale, but I hope I can give you a future. This ship has the power to create a planet, to create a new home. Your ring would have activated the transformation sequence, but the Titan's power cells were drained in the escape. They are unable to fuel the transformation. It is up to you to restore their power. After that, the procedure is simple.
- Gune: Preed! Preed! Aren't you supposed to be watching for the Drej?
- Preed: [not paying much attention to Gune] Yes, Caveman. Drej bad, we good. Now go look at something shiny for a while.
- Gune: [tugging on Preed's arm] I think you'd better look again!
- [Preed looks up from his gun and spotts the Drej off in the distance]
- Gune, Preed: [shouts] Drej!
- Preed: [catching Cale and Akima spying on Korso] Well, look what I found. Two little birdies, itching to fly!
