J.T. Marsh quotes from Exosquad

J.T. Marsh

You can review the tapes a thousand times to see what you did, what you should have done. But the only battle that really counts... is the next one.

It was a golden age for all mankind. Using the incredible exoskeletons called E-frames, we had successfully terraformed Venus and Mars, and were now poised to move on to the Outer Planets. Suddenly, it all ended. We were pressed into a nightmarish war on a scale previously unimagined. We were attacked by our own creations, the Neosapiens, a race of artificially created humans. Led by Phaeton, they had seized control of Venus, Earth, and Mars. This is Lt. J.T. Marsh, member of the Exofleet, leader of a small band of E-frame pilots dedicated to freeing humanity from Neosapien rule. We are... the Exosquad.

J.T. Marsh

Marsala, what is this!

Marsala

My resignation, Lieutenant Marsh, effective immediately.

Jonas Simbacca

This fight will make you a legend in the Clans, Marsh. They'll tell the story of our deaths for a thousand years.

J.T. Marsh

I'd rather be alive than a legend.

Alec DeLeon

Think we can get out of here with no more surprises?

J.T. Marsh

If you don't like surprises you're in the wrong line of work.

Alec DeLeon

J.T., I think we have a problem.

J.T. Marsh

Only one? I've got six of them in there.

Wolf Bronsky

Man, it's just another day at the office. Savin' everyone's butt.

J.T. Marsh

Punch your time card, Bronsky.

J.T. Marsh

Let him go Takagi, break off pursuit. We're here to look, not fight.

Takagi, only you can show off by not showin' off.

J.T. Marsh

Can you fly?

Marsala

I presume you mean "in an E-frame".

J.T. Marsh

Great. You pick now to find a sense of humor?

You will use Commander Marsh's E-frame. Are you capable of operating his machine?

J.T. Marsh

I can do anything J.T. Marsh can do.

Jonas Simbacca

I like the way you think, J.T. Marsh. You will command the counterattack.

J.T. Marsh

But, Simbacca, that's a job for a senior commander.

Jonas Simbacca

If you win, no one will complain. And if you lose, there won't be anyone left to complain.

J.T. Marsh

If we're wrong the sun may never rise on the Earth again.

The sun is always rising somewhere. After all, our darkness means light to the other side of the world.

J.T. Marsh

Heh. You almost sound optimistic, Professor. How would a doomsday device work?

If I were going to destroy the Earth, and I had as little imagination as Phaeton, I'd simply blow it up.
