Grig You should be proud of Alex, Mrs. Rogan. You must all be proud of him. He saved the Star League and hundreds of worlds, including Earth.

Return the money, Centauri.
Return the money! Are you delirious? Do you know how long it to invent the games? To merchandise them? To get them in the stores by Christmas?
Grig It must be terribly embarrassing for you and I do sympathize. However...
But I saw him fight! He could be the greatest Starfighter ever!
That was just a game, Centauri!
A game? Well, you may have thought it was a game, but it was also a test. Aha, a test! Sent out across the universe to find those with the gift to be Starfighters. And here you are, my boy! Here you are!
Right, here I am, about to be killed!
Killed! You don't seriously think it's dangerous, do you? Don't be silly! Trust me!
Grig, when did the hanger go up?
Grig I told you, when Xur attacked.
And where were the Starfighters?
Grig In the hanger.
You mean they're dead?
Grig Death is a primitive concept; I prefer to think of them as battling evil, in another dimension!
In another dimension? How many are left?
Grig Including youself?
Yeah!
Grig One!
There's no fleet, no Starfighters, no plan? One ship, you me, and that's it?
Grig Exactly. Xur thinks you're still on Earth. Classic military strategy: surprise attack.
It'll be a slaughter!
Grig That's the spirit!
No, MY slaughter! One ship against the whole armada?
Grig Yes, one gunstar against the armada. I've always wanted to fight a desperate battle against incredible odds.
Grig Remember, Death Blossom delivers only one massive volley at close range... theoretically.
What do you mean "theoretically"?
Grig After all, D.B. has never been tested. It might overload the systems, blow up the ship!
What are you worried about, Grig? Theoretically, we should already be dead.
Grig [shrugs and chortles, confirming Alex's last comment was probably true]
Open Death Blossom packs, switches on.
We did it.
Grig Yes, we actually did, didn't we?
The command ship!
This reminds you of home???? [they are inside an asteroid, hiding from the armada]
Grig 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.
Grig What is that?
It is like a cave that goes places. Only we never went anywhere.
Grig A mobile cave that never went anywhere. Fascinating.
Grig You must be Louis. I hear good things about you.
Hear that, you slimes? I'm famous!
