The Last Starfighter quotes
Page 1 of 4Oh, Alex, I always knew you was gonna leave someday, but I never expected this.
Woo! All right! We're being invaded!
I love you, Alex Rogan.
I told you, Alex! Me and my, how did you put it, "strange sexual urges" aren't talking to you anymore!
Centauri, I thought you were dead!
Me, die? And miss all the excitement? [laughs] No, I was merely dormant while my body repaired itself. No, I won't bore you with details. Suffice it to say, you're on Rylos, my boy. Stop thinking human, that's lesson number one. [leans in] Lesson number two: You've got a good thing going here. Keep smiling, don't blow it. Lesson number three: Always trust Centauri.
Grig, when did the hanger go up?
I told you, when Xur attacked.
And where were the Starfighters?
In the hanger.
You mean they're dead?
Death is a primitive concept; I prefer to think of them as battling evil, in another dimension!
In another dimension? How many are left?
Including youself?
Yeah!
One!
Hey, you look like me!
Of course I do. I'm a beta unit.
What the hell is a beta unit?
A beta unit is a simuloid. An exact duplicate of you, only not as loud.
Otis, I just never had a chance to have a good time around here.
Otis Things change. Always do. You'll get your chance! Important thing is, when it comes, you gotta grab it with both hands and hold on tight!
Store's closed, mister.
I'm not here for cigarettes or bubblegum, my boy. Can you tell me the name of the person who broke the record on that game over there, and where I might find him?
Alex Rogan, and you're lookin' at him.
Alex Rogan. [laughs]
Who are you?
Centauri's the name. I invented Starfighter, which is why I'm here.
It is?
It is. We have to talk about a matter of utmost importance [gestures toward the back of his seat] Step into my office.
The truth is you're scared of leaving this trailer park.
I'm not scared of leaving this trailer park, Alex.
There's no fleet, no Starfighters, no plan? One ship, you me, and that's it?
Exactly. Xur thinks you're still on Earth. Classic military strategy: surprise attack.
It'll be a slaughter!
That's the spirit!
No, MY slaughter! One ship against the whole armada?
Yes, one gunstar against the armada. I've always wanted to fight a desperate battle against incredible odds.
This reminds you of home???? [they are inside an asteroid, hiding from the armada]
Aaah, yes, I live below ground with my wifeoid and six thousand little Griglings. At least, until Xur turns them into slaves. Where does your kind live?
In houses, mostly, that's caves above ground. I live in a mobile home.
What is that?
It is like a cave that goes places. Only we never went anywhere.
A mobile cave that never went anywhere. Fascinating.
We did it.
Yes, we actually did, didn't we?
The command ship!
What did you do to Maggie?!
Do to her?! We were looking up at the stars and she sticks her tongue in my ear. I screamed. I'll apologize to her tomorrow, okay?
You're not gonna be here. You're going back to Centauri right now!
Back to sleep, Louis, or I'm telling Mom about your Playboys!
