More lines from Aki
5 quotes Aki Aki I'm convinced that these dreams are some form of communication. Their message still eludes me. But they're coming faster now, and that can only mean one thing. The Phantoms inside me are beginning to win.
Aki I finished it. I know what it means. I know what the Phantoms really are.
Aki They're not an invading army. They're ghosts.
Aki Don't leave me, Gray.
Scenes with Aki
6 scenes Aki There's a life-form in here.
There hasn't been life here in years.
Aki Well there is now.
Aki [Reading Sid's journal]
"All life is born of Gaia, and each life has a spirit. Each new spirit is housed in a physical body…" Doctor?
Go on.
Aki "Through their experiences on earth, each spirit matures and grows. When the physical body dies, the mature spirit, enriched by its life on earth, returns to Gaia. Bringing with it the experiences… enabling Gaia to live and grow."
I was young once too, you know.
Aki Doctor, there's a war going on. No one's young anymore.
Aki What we need now is some luck.
Luck has nothing to do with it! Faith and hard work, girl. Cause I'll be damned if you're going to die before me!
Aki I was infected by a Phantom during an experiment. Normally no one could have survived.
How did you?
Aki Dr. Sid created a membrane around the infection, keeping me alive. So the first spirit wave was me. The second was a fish.
A fish?
Aki The third was a deer I found in a wildlife preserve outside of Moscow. The fourth was a bird. Ever try to track a sparrow from outer space? It's no fun. What am I saying; you probably would love that.
You're right, I probably would.
Aki And then there was that plant I collected from Times Square.
I thought that was number six.
Aki What?
You skipped one.
Aki [Quietly]
The fifth was a little girl, dying in a hospital emergency room. I retrieved the sample in time, but she, uh… I told her everything had a spirit. Dogs, cats, trees, little girls, even the Earth. I told her that she wasn't dying, just returning to the Earth's spirit. To Gaia. She, uh, told me that she was ready to die. She said I didn't have to make up stories to make her feel better. [Pause] Only seven years old and ready to die.
Aki All right. Why do you think we've never been able to determine a relationship between the human-sized Phantoms and the giant ones roaming the wastelands?
Excuse me Doc, but… what friggin' relationship? I mean, you got your human-sized Phantoms, a-a-and your creepy, caterpillary Phantoms, and your flying Phantoms, and let's not forget my personal favorite, the big fat giant Phantoms!
Down boy!
He's right. If you spent as much time in the field as we have, you know there is no relationship. It's like a zoo out there.
Aki Precisely! I think the giant ones are like our whales, or elephants.
But why would an invading army bring a bunch of whales and elephants along for the ride? Unless their ship was some kind of a crazy Noah's arc.
Hmm. W-w-we have always assumed that the meteor was intended as a form of transportation. Perhaps it wasn't.
Aki The meteor is a chunk of their planet that got thrown into space when they destroyed their world.
But how could they survive the trip across outer space on a chunk of rock?
Aki They didn't.
Oh. This is all beginning to make a creepy kind of sense.
