Jack quotes from The Tribe

Trudy

We have achieved great things today Guardian.

We have indeed Supreme Mother, we have indeed.

KC

Supreme Mother?

Jack

More like Supreme Fruitcake.

Jack

Ellie, wait. We don't event know if the plane is gonna land. I mean, how can it? The runways have been out of use for all this time.

Jack, it's been circling for half an hour. It's either going to land or run out of fuel and crash. Either way, it's a pretty big story, wouldn't you say?

Jack

You know, we used to be quite a big Tribe. Now, look at us. The Seven Dwarfs.

I guess that makes you grumpy then, doesn’t it Jack?

So how do we get to them without being seen?

Ebony

Look, we can’t hit them with a surprise attack. We don’t have that kind of muscle.

Jack

Does that mean …?

Lex

We’re gonna walk to their gates in broad daylight and politely ask them to leave?

Ebony

Pretty much. Only not politely.

Pride

Suppose they don’t wanna go.

What if we get captured?

Cloe

What if they kill us?

Ebony

I never said there wouldn’t be risks. Our only chance is to bluff them.

Jack

With what??

Ebony

They don’t know how many kids we have backing us up, but they must know they’re outnumbered.

Pride

Something tells me they’re not too worried about that.

Ebony

Well they should be. Look, if they want this City, they’re gonna have to fight for it.

Lex

It’s good enough for me.

Ebony

So, are we all agreed?

Pride

Agreed.

Cloe

It was his own fault. He lost his temper.

Salene

Lex? I can’t believe it.

Jack

It’s not a joke Salene.

Salene

Am I laughing?

Alice? Alice!

Jack

Ellie there’s no one here.

Then, maybe she’s in the City, she’s somewhere in the City. Come on, we’re going back.

Jack

Ellie, I’m not sure I am.

What?

Jack

I said I’m not sure if I want to go back.

Is this Luke? Are you still upset about me and Luke? Because if you hadn’t noticed, Jack, he’s gone. Like everyone else! Then I guess you’re glad about that.

Jack

Ellie, no, I’m not glad!! But the reason I came back here, that’s gone too, isn’t it?

So you’re gonna leave everyone behind?

Jack

Get off my back, Ellie, there’s hardly anyone left!

Oh what? So time to go then, hey?

Jack

Look, you’ve made it quite clear that I’ve got no chance here, so just BACK OFF! Because you’ve got no right to tell me where I should be!!

Then go ahead!! Leave us!! It’s what you do, Jack! So, go do what you do best! Go NOW!

Jack

Okay, then. I will. [he leaves]

Jack

If I can break the code, or bypass it, or something, then I might be able to listen in on the Technos communications.

It's not dangerous or anything? I mean, you don't know what you're doing?

Jack

Right now? Huh. Hum yeah, yeah. I don't have a clue.

Jack

Hey don't worry! Look I'm not gonna, you know, go do anything stupid. It's just a little scouting trip. Besides, I'll have Ebony to look after me.

Pride says they've got cameras all around the perimeter.

Jack

You know, I'll bring back a photo of me. [laughs]

Jack!

Jack

Look, Ellie, I'll avoid the cameras and I promise you, I told you, I'm here for you. [grabs a whistle] Here, take it.

What is it?

Jack

It's my lucky whistle. If you ever need help, you just whistle, see? Well, I'd better be going. See you. [they kiss] I'll see you Ellie.

Take care Jack.
