Cortes quotes from Skyland

Cortes

This is a dawn of a new era of Skyland!

Cortes

Cheng, do something! Quick!

Cortes

Young lady, the Blockbuster is never wrong.

Cortes

What makes you think they were escorting Sansken?

Wayan

Well, when we attacked their formation, the Patrollers had plenty of time to blast him. But they didn't. It makes no sense.

Cortes

Aye, you're right. But if he really did escape from Kharzem, he can lead Lena and Mahad to their mother.

Wayan

Locked on target, captain.

Cortes

Stand by for instructions.

Cheng

Shouldn't we rescue the survivors, sir? That was a young girl's voice.

Cortes

It's obviously a Sphere trap.

Cheng

She didn't sound like a Guardian to me.

Dahlia

I'm detecting Sphere Patrollers approaching.

Cortes

See? It IS a trap. Head west, Wayan.

Cheng

I hope you're right. 'Cause if not, we would have left a little girl all alone. On this icy block.

Cortes

(sighs) Turn around, Wayan. we're going to pick her up... I don't know why I listen to you.

Cheng

I didn't say anything.

Mila knew Oslo would find her again one day. That's why she sent you to me.

Cortes

You don't look like a baby sitter to me.

Lena

I don't want to take anybody else's water.

Cheng

Don't worry about that, Lena. The drought will be over soon.

Mahad

Yup. The Vector's found a block of ice. We're on our way there right now. It's supposed to be huge.

Cortes

Not anymore, it isn't.

Cortes

That's it. There's no water here. Let's head back.

Mahad

We can't give up now, Cortes. Let's at least go in and take a look around.

Cortes

Look, Mahad, I know you're worried about Lena but I'm telling you the Sphere wouldn't leave even a drop of water behind.

Mahad

Can you guarantee there's not a drop of water in there?

Cortes

We've waisted enough time as it is! We're going back home.

Lena

I think Mahad's right. I can sense something inside the station.

Cortes

Wayan, Dahlia... Start the approach procedure.

Cortes

(activates his shock blaster) Looks like we've got company.

Mahad

I hope it's not the Mogura.

Dahlia

(smacks a gun in Mahad's chest) You'll need this. (activates her energy bow)

Cortes

Cheng, find us another way out of here.

Cheng

I'm on it.

Cortes

Aim for it's head! Everybody... Fire!

Mahad

Dahlia, I know you like me but now's hardly the time.

Dahlia

Oh, grow up!

Cortes

Need I remind you that we're running for our lives?

Wayan

You have a right to show off, for once.

Cortes

Don't encourage him. Nice to have you back safe and sound.

Dahlia

It's good to be back in one piece.

Cortes

You and the kid make a good team.

Mahad

Hah! I'm not taking any girls with me any more. All they ever want to do is flirt and kiss me. It's impossible to fly under those conditions.

Cortes

Dahlia, don't throw him overboard. I need all hands on deck today. Mind waiting until tomorrow?

Dahlia

I'll be counting down the minutes!

Mahad

See what I mean!?

Cortes

He better be careful! If he so much as scratches my ship, I'll-

(walks in, interrupting Cortes) Prisoners must remain silent. You may not speak.

Cortes

Who's going to stop us, you metal plated freak!?

Cortes

You seem to have a problem with the way I run things around here.

Mahad

Well... I just...

Cortes

You're not coming with us on this trip.

Mahad

What?

Cortes

I'm leaving you behind. And while I'm gone, you are in charge of Puerto Angel.

Mahad

Are you serious?

Cortes

I must be. Since I have no sense of humour. I'll let everyone know. Good luck.

Cortes

MAHAD! Are you totally off your rocker? Attacking an entire brigadier squad. You're lucky you both escaped alive!

Mahad

Yeah, did you see it? I blew them all to bits!

Cortes

And what if a spy patroller had followed you back? You're putting all of Puerto Angel in danger because of all your mindless probottle! I forbid you to leave here again without my permission.

Mahad

You're not my father!

Cortes

And neither are you! Your father was a born leader. Not some kid who wanted to show off.
