'''Grif:''' (Muffled) [[RepeatedCueTardyResponse Oh, yeah! Shotgun. That's my cue.]]\\

''([[WhamShot Suddenly the wall explodes into pieces as the Warthog bursts straight through it, with Grif behind the wheel. Sarge quickly gets out of the way as Wash is taken completely by surprise]])''\\
'''Wash:''' '''...[[CarFu CAR?!?]]'''

'''Sarge:''' I know you like to make yer' rude comments and pretend like it doesn't matter! But an entire alien race chose to make you their hero!]] So why are ''you'' here? And Caboose... Uh, it's good to see you?\\

'''Sarge''': Maybe you're all here because this is the only place you fit in. Maybe you're here because you don't have anywhere else to go. Maybe you're all here because, deep down, you want to be here. The reason doesn't matter. What matters is that you're here! For all we know, Tex and Church are dead. [[AsLongAsThereIsOneMan That means we're the only ones who know what's happened. The only ones who can prevent them from covering it up!]] So the way I figure it, these Freelancer guys will use us, [[WeHaveReserves take us away from our families, and send us all over the dad-gum galaxy just to test if their agents are ready for the big fight?]] [[LetsGetDangerous Well... guess I'm interested in showin' em exactly what a big fight is all about! Time to clean a slate!]] So, I'm not orderin' ya to go. I ain't even ''asking''.[[DareToBeBadass You do... what you gotta do, Private Grif.]]\\

'''Grif''': It's one of life's great mysteries, isn't it? Why ''are'' we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night.\\

'''Huggins:''' (turns back to her normal white coloration) No! [[BuffySpeak I can't do a murder!]] [[ThouShaltNotKill It's against my personal code!]] And the ''law!'' Stupid physics! I'm gonna have to reason with [[FantasticSlur the monkey.]] [[DisproportionateRetribution And in doing so, break divine decree and get tortured in the underworld for eternity!]] [[DissonantSerenity ...Eh, win some, lose some!]]

->''(Wash is talking to the rest of the Reds and Blues about what they should do after being informed of the danger presented by Chrovos to the universe by the Cosmic Powers)''\\
'''Wash:''' You messed up. We all have regrets. Lost friends we'd like to have around, things we'd take back. But these time guns can't fix us ... you used them to relieve guilt, right wrongs, to avoid responsibility. But the past is ''done''. Do better now; ''be'' better now! Now is the only time that's ever mattered. Ask yourself: do I make bad decisions? How can I do better? Who do I want to be?\\
'''Tucker:''' Wash, it's selfish ''not'' to time travel! [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong Are you saying you wouldn't go back and stop yourself from hurting people?]]\\
'''Wash:''' [[AnAesop Mistakes are the dirt we grow from, Tucker!]] In the end, you can't argue with cause and effect. You made a mess - you need to clean it up.\\
'''Grif:''' ...Yeah. That's the right thing to do.

->''(Muggins has just revealed [[spoiler:Huggins' death]] to the Cosmic Powers)''\\
'''Kalirama:''' [[PetTheDog Muggins, I am so sorry.]]\\
'''Muggins:''' As am I. [[spoiler:She was my friend.]] Ironic that friends who we would defend with our lives are so often the ones we hurt. We discover our love for them too late, its presence revealed by their absence, their warmth felt as a sudden chill and we are left cold. A friend — [[spoiler:she shone as I do, but her truest light was invisible. It was the brightness of her point of view. [[BeaconOfHope Like a lighthouse, she guided us toward our saviors, out of danger.]]]] And so, hope, snuffed out, was reignited by a single spark. All I know is this - [[spoiler:she was my friend.]]

'''Sarge:''' [[AwesomenessByAnalysis Donut and Lopez are dead and someone has taken Simmons prisoner.]]\\

'''Sarge:''' [[SherlockScan Think about it!]] How do you answer the radio at our base?!\\

'''Sarge:''' [[AsYouKnow And we've drilled that since day one!]] Simmons answered "Hi." That was my first clue!\\

'''Sarge:''' He also said the radio was in disrepair. When has [[MrFixIt Lopez]] ever let something go without the proper maintenance?\\

[[{{Dehumanization}} When you spend everyday fighting a war, you learn to demonize your attackers. To you, they're evil, they're- they're sub-human.]] Because if they weren't, [[NotSoDifferent then what would that make you?]] ...What I'm ''trying'' to say... is I've been afraid to see you for what you really are. You're our brothers. Our sisters. And the things we've done to one another are ''[[ThisIsUnforgivable unforgivable.]]'' But General Doyle was able to see past that. In the end, he understood that now isn't the time for pride or anger, now is the time for ''unity.''\\

'''Church''': When it goes off, [[spoiler:[[FamousLastWords I'll be fine. It only affects computers, remember?]] [[BadassBoast And]] ''[[BadassBost I,]]'' [[BadassBoast am a motherfuckin' ghost.]]]]

'''Wash:''' '''...CAR?!?'''

->'''Sarge''': Hey, Meta! Settle a bet, would you? [[spoiler:[[PreMortemOneLiner Does that thing kind of look]] [[CallBack like a big cat to you?]]]]

'''Sarge:''' Son. You can insult me, you can ambush me, you can even take away my weapons. But if you think I'm going to set one single pinky toe inside Blue Base without my "shotgun", you must not know who you're dealing with.\\

->'''Dylan Andrews:''' When I first described the Reds and Blues, I called them heroes. But that may have been premature. What I've come to understand after spending time with them is that they're more than that. They're stupid...and arrogant...and lazy...and selfish...and stubborn. None of the qualities any reasonable person would call heroic. What the Reds and Blues have taught me is that...it's not the sum of your parts that makes you who you are. It's not what you're endowed with, not your intelligence or strength, but what you hold onto throughout the hardest trials of life. These people have shown me that real heroes are not born, they're forged. A friend told me once that there's no faith but what you make. And I think he's right. What makes a hero is their ability to choose light over darkness. To walk through fire and not be burned. To fall from great heights and not be broken. To be changed and reborn and be better for it again and again. It's who you become when you lose someone close. That's what makes a hero...and that's what makes the Reds and Blues some of the greatest our universe has ever seen. This has been Dylan Andrews, Interstellar Daily.
