Elias Taylor quotes from V The Final Battle

Mike Donovan

We need to get those passes. Mark, you're a cop.

Ex-cop.

Mike

Elias, you're a hood.

Elias Taylor

Ex-hood.

Mike

[rolls eyes] Together, I think you two could come up with the best counterfeiter around.

[after pondering] Pascal.

Elias

Dan Pascal?

Yeah.

Elias

[sarcastic] If he's still alive.

Mike

Find him.

OK. [motions to Elias] Let's go.

Tyler

The Visitors came here to suck us dry. When they're finished with this planet, they're gonna take it [gestures] like an empty beer can and toss it over their shoulder.

Nobody's calling them good guys, Tyler. No one's appealing to their better nature. You can't win a war if you're extinct! [she turns in appeal to the group] We've got to think of another way!

Elias

[very quietly] There is no other way. There's no time. Look, if Martin knows about the Red Dust, then you can believe Diana does, too - and if she doesn't, then she will in a few days. Hey...hey, as...as ragged an' as ordinary as this little bunch is...we're the last shot before the buzzer.

'Last' is exactly right.

Elias

[louder] Now if we attack - if we attack, at least we got a fightin' chance. We do nothing, we're signin' this planet's death warrant.

Elias Taylor

Yo, yo, go easy on the dust, dudes. Gonna do you no good to snort it here. [man laughs]

[approaches Elias] Elias -

Elias

Look, Pop, will you give me a break, please, huh? I was just jokin' with the guys, I didn't mean nothin' by it -!

Right away you assume I'm gonna come down on you.

Elias

Ain't that the way it's always been, huh?!

Perhaps so... I disagreed with what you said at the meeting -

Elias

So what's new?

- but you said it well. I was damn proud of you, son.

Elias

Really?

Yes. [they hug, reconciled at last]
