DavidIn one day my world has been taken from me- my home, my mom- my life. Why? Why is this happening to me?
[targetting an enemy ship]
DavidJust like a video game…
DavidI’m half human, half alien, and altogether alone. But I will never stop fighting.
[While wandering, lost, in the Utah desert]
DavidI didn’t know…how long, how far I wandered. Hours, miles…it didn’t matter. The sun was always right on top of me. I had to contact the Ooshati, the freedom fighters loyal to my father. But the only transmitter was back on Maple Island, and that meant finding my way out of a million square miles of kitty litter.
[hallucinating from heat exhaustion]
DavidThe visions lasted for hours. I saw Mom [tries to hug Rita but she vanishes]…Rafe…[Rafe mirage morphs into Cale] …and my father. I’d never known how to imagine him before. In my dreams he was never a face…just a deep voice I could never understand, or a strong arm around my shoulders. I tried to tell myself he was there to help me, to give me the strength and courage to survive. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past forty-eight hours [Cale mirage crouches] is that things are never what they seem. [Cale turns into mangler] This vision was real.
DavidThere were two obstacles: police everywhere looking for me…and I was starving. I never thought I’d risk my life for a cheeseburger.
DavidWhere did my father go?
To lead the fight against the Dragit.
DavidWho’s Dragit?
A warlord who plans to invade Earth.
DavidInvade Earth? Why?
He claims he’s saving Tyrus. The Ooshati- those who follow your father- disagree.
We call it the Exotar- the symbol of sovereignty, eight hundred of your ancestors have worn it. We called your father Cale-Oosha, our lawful ruler. As you will be someday. Put it on.
[Exotar glows, molds to David’s hand]
DavidDid you see it? It changed to fit me!
When its sensors identified your genetic code, it adjusted to you. If you were not the son of Cale, it would have crushed your hand.
[about an attacking Tyrusian soldier]
DavidHe looks American.
So do I.
[David grabs Rafe's second gun]
Do you know how to use that?
DavidI go to the movies.
[watching Rafe]
DavidWhat is it, Halloween?
Tyrusian war paint. Black represents the darkness within, grey the spirit of the warrior. [applies green]
DavidWhat’s that represent?
Nothing. I like the color.
You can’t fly this thing!
DavidWatch me.
[after being rescued from mangler]
David[panting] Thanks, I owe you one.
Huh. You owe me a freezer full of good meat.
[being pursued by a sheriff]
DavidHe’s gaining on us.
Well, what do you want me to do, kid? Fly? Turn invisible? This heap didn’t even come with air conditioning!
[Doc is hauling a motorcycle out of hiding]
Figured I might need something faster than that truck someday. It’s yours if you want it. I put a few gimmicks on it might come in handy. It can do most anything you ask it to…dern near fly.
DavidI can’t take this from you.
Take it. Like I said, I’m no hero…but maybe you are.
