Dialogue
Helena: Rookies, use breathers. We won't have air like Earth for 10 years. Let's go. Bashira: God, I hate this thing. Helena: You'll get used to it. Two years ago we were wearing full-face breathers. Takes a month to get over the headaches out here. Bashira: So this is Shining Canyon? God, what a dump. Melanie: First time in the boonies? Michael: Standard layout. A boomtown like all the others. Seen one, you can go home. It's cold, and they don't tell you a one-year contract here equals two years Earth time. Gotta read the fine print. Melanie: Where is everybody? Friday night, the place should be packed. Twelve hours to sunup with money to burn, whores to fuck and drugs to take. Instead, we got a graveyard. Helena: Maybe they're inside spending their money.
Dialogue
Desolation: That's the second time I've saved your life. Melanie: Yeah, run a tab.
Dialogue
Melanie: Well, introduce us to your friends. Desolation: These are my compadres, Uno, Dos and Tres. Melanie: Uno must be the nice one. Uno: You got that right, butchy. I'm not as nice as Desolation. And I'll cut your fucking titties off.
Dialogue
That's beautiful! That's what you get, dumb ass.
Desolation Dialogue
Melanie: Look, if we even get back to Chryse, those things will just keep coming. We've got a chance here. We got a chance to stop this thing before it goes any further. This is about one thing: dominion. It's not their planet anymore. Bashira: What about him? Isn't it our job to take him back? Jericho: Is he still a prisoner, or is he one of us? Desolation: I can give a damn about saving this planet. Seems like it was after me since the day I was born. If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die fighting, not running.
Dialogue
Uno: So, you're just gonna stand there and watch her break my shit? Dos: Yeah, and now you're done mopping the floor, why don't you get me a beer, killer?
Dialogue
Jericho: Eutopia, the ass end of the universe. A penal camp for thieving cutthroats. Melanie: Sounds nasty. But you seem to be holding up pretty well. Jericho: Yeah, well, I have many hidden talents.
Dialogue
Desolation: [The train has not arrived] Where the hell's the train? Melanie: I don't know. Uno: You don't know? What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Melanie: [On radio] Lieutenant to the train! Desolation: Plan A is fucked up! You got a Plan B? Melanie: Yeah, it's the same as Plan A. You got any fresh ideas? Desolation: Yeah, what we should of done in the first place. Melanie: Shit! Desolation: COME ON YOU MINDLESS MOTHER FUCKERS!
Dialogue
Tres: Where's your brother? Desolation: He didn't make it. Tres: Oh God. [He dies]
Dialogue
Melanie: Here's the plan. Short and simple. Descanso and Jericho take the lead, everybody else follows. It's about fifty meters from here to the station. Bashira and I are in the rear. Any questions? Desolation: Hey! Put your hand down!
Dialogue
Jericho: It's pretty solid. One way in, back door out, leading to rear entrance. [Shuts door] A good, sturdy door. Melanie: So, what's your point? Jericho: It's rather cozy. Don't you think? Melanie: I don't believe this. You lured me back here to seduce me? Jericho: Yeah, well, the way things are going, I thought this might be our last chance to, uh, to dance. Melanie: Yeah.
Dialogue
Tribunal head: And what happened to Williams? Melanie: I don't know, but I woke up and he was gone. Tribunal head: And you were handcuffed? Melanie: He must have done it while I slept. By then, I trusted him. Tribunal head: That's all you have to say? Melanie: That's all I know. Tribunal head: Lt. Ballard, I suggest you get some rest. You're dismissed. [To tribunal] Is our statement going to be that Mars is being overrun by ghosts?
Dialogue
PA announcer: Attention all police report to your nearest station for weapon assignment. A security breach has occurred. This is a level 10 emergency. Police personnel, report to your division for assignment. All civilians evacuate the streets immediately. Please remain indoors until further instructed. Desolation: Come on! [Throws her a gun and winks at her] Tide's up. Time to stay alive. [They're walking in the hall] If you ever want to come to the other side, you'd make a hell of a crook. Melanie: You'd make a hell of a cop. Desolation and Melanie: Nah... Desolation: Let's just kick some ass. Melanie: It's what we do best.
