Ben Tennyson and Reinrassic III in “Alone Together”

(spots the teleporter pod station) There it is. Come on! (looks back at Reinrassic) Not the ten paces behind thing again.

Go home, Ben-Ben Tennyson. I shall remain here.

Did you hit your head or something? There's the teleporter. We can finally get off of this sand trap of doom and get back to our lives.

I have spent too long with you Ben-Ben Tennyson. And have therefore myself become contaminated.

Contaminated?

As clearly evidenced by my uncharacteristic behavior. Risking my own life to save you, a lonely human.

Reiny, what you did was a good thing.

I have obviously become infected by your mongrel influence, and am now myself unclean.

But even if I believed that was true, why stay here?

In self-imposed exile as it should be. For I can never return home, or anywhere. I could infect the rest of my kind. The only honorable choice is to remain here.

No!

(proud of his race) Because all lesser beings other than pure unadulterated Highbreeds must be expunged from the universe... including myself.

I thought I had gotten through to you. I thought you had changed.

This much is true. I have changed. And now, I must pay the price.
