Lightyear (2022) quotes

View Quote Burnside: All right, team, we've picked up a signal in the Gamma Quadrant of Sector 4. We don't know what it is, but we're not gonna wait for it to invade our home.
Buzz: [on locking wrist communicator] Copy, Commander. You can count on us. [he and his team board their ship; narrating] Buzz Lightyear mission log. Star date 4071. As members of the Elite Universe Protection Unit of the Space Ranger Corps, we've been charged to protect the galaxy from the threat of invasion from any sworn enemies of The Galactic Alliance. Okay, everyone, make sure you're securely fastened. Do we have everything? Munitions?
Darby: Check.
Buzz: Sustenance?
Mo: I brought sandwiches.
Buzz: And your tummy will be okay?
Mo: [holds up a barf bag] All set.
Buzz: All right. Am I forgetting anything?
Izzy: I think we're ready.
I.V.A.N.: Hello, I am your internal voice-activated navigator.
Buzz: Good to have you back, I.V.A.N.

View Quote Buzz: [notices a ring on Alisha's finger] Wait, what's that?
Alisha: Oh, I got engaged.
Buzz: Oh, wow. That's-That's great. What's her name?
Alisha: Kiko. She's one of the science crew. It's funny, I never would've met her if we hadn't…been stranded.
Buzz: You got engaged to someone you just met?
Alisha: Buzz, I met her three years ago.
Buzz: Oh, right. Right. Well, congratulations. I'd love to meet her.
Alisha: Well, there's plenty of time for that. Get some rest. That's an order.

View Quote Buzz: Listen. Um… I just… When I first went to the Academy, I was not, you know… good. I screwed up every day. I got tangled in the obstacle course, my hands shook so much I couldn't hit the target. Not the bulls-eye, the whole target. And I was gonna quit after the first week. It was clear I was not space ranger material.
Mo: Really?
Buzz: Yeah. [points to Izzy] But her grandma saw something in me. So I started looking for it, too.
Sox: Recalibrating. One corrupted file restored. [activates a hologram of Alisha with his electronic eyes]
Alisha: Hey, he's lighting up.
Izzy: [surprised] Grandma…
Alisha: Hello, Sox. I need you to do me a favor. I need you to look after my best friend. His name's Buzz. He's away right now, but he'll be back soon. He's a space ranger. He's going to get us all home. [repeatedly] Get us all home…

View Quote Buzz: Wait a minute. Hold on. You're not me. I'm me.
Zurg: Well, you're you now. But I'm you 50 years from now.
Buzz: Well, there can't be two me's.
Zurg: Yet, here we both are.
Buzz: Okay, then. If you're me, I'm thinking of a number between one and…
Zurg: 273.
Buzz: Whoa.
Zyclops: B-Zurg.
Zurg: Isn't that cute? Robots can't quite say "Buzz", so around here, I'm just… Zurg.
Zyclops: B-Zurg.
Zurg: And I guess, so are you.
Buzz: How? I don't understand.
Zurg: Don't worry about it. None of this is going to matter.
Future Sox: Buzz.
Zurg and Buzz: [at the same time] Yes?
Future Sox: You have to explain it all to him.
Zurg: You're right. I'm sorry, it's just... exciting! You're finally here! See... I reached hyper-speed, too, just like you did. But I wasn't greeted as a hero. No, that new commander was going to arrest me for stealing the XL-15. I found a way to get them home, and they didn't even care! So, I escaped. I went as far as I could as fast as I could. At that speed for that long, I traveled centuries, and I ended up in a future you wouldn't recognize… filled with technology you can't even imagine, and that's when it dawned on me: if we can use this crystal to go forward in time, why not use it to go back?
Buzz: But we can't go back in time.
Zurg: We can now.
Buzz: What?
Zurg: Listen, Buzz, I've broken time. What's happening to you never happened to me. This is a new now that's never been lived. You see we can change things, Buzz.
Buzz: Well, if we can go back in time, we can… We can stop ourselves from ever landing on that planet.
Zurg: From ever hitting that mountain.
Buzz: We can just continue the mission home.
Zurg: And none of this will have ever happened.
Both: It's a good plan.
Zurg: And this crystal is the key to it all.

View Quote Diaz: Commander, are you okay?
Buzz: Diaz, you grew a beard. How did you grow a beard?
Diaz: Oh, right. First of, welcome back. Secondly…
Buzz: Wait, wait... What is this? How long was I gone?
Diaz: 4 years, 2 months, and 3 days.
Buzz: What?
Alisha: [hugs him] I thought we lost you, Buzz.
Buzz: Alisha, what happened?
Alisha: Time dilation.
Buzz: What?
E.R.I.C.: Time dilation is quite simple. As you approached hyper-speed, your time slowed relative to our own. So, during your mission, you aged only minutes, while the rest of us have aged years. Simply put - the faster you fly…
Buzz: The faster I fly, the further into the future I travel. I get it. So what are we gonna do now?
Alisha: I don't know, but I think we should hold off on any more test flights until we figure out something else.
Buzz: Commander, we said finish the mission. That's what Space Rangers do.
Alisha: At what cost, Buzz? Are you willing to lose another four years?

View Quote Zurg: [revealing himself to be an alternate timeline version of Buzz] You look good, Buzz.
Buzz: Dad?
Zurg: [chuckles] Guess again. [hops out of the mech suit, walks towards Buzz, and shows him his dog tag with his name]
Buzz: Huh? [takes out his own dog tag and sees the names are identical to the other, then sees a cat's shadow appearing from behind the suit] Sox?
Future Sox: [with his electronic left eye exposed; distorted] Hello, Buzz.
Buzz: I don't understand.

View Quote [Buzz enters Alisha's office, only to find that she's not there and the room is completely cleared out, except for the desk with a holographic device sitting on top; Buzz activates the device, showing a hologram of the elderly Alisha, sitting up properly in her bed]
Alisha: Hi, Buzz. You're back here in a year or two, and, well, I won't. I don't know what happened, but I seem to have gone and gotten very old. I always thought we'd get to be Space Rangers again. [chuckles softly] I miss being out among the stars. All the adventures. But more than any of that, I missed you.
Young Izzy: Hi, Grandma. [climbs up on the bed]
Alisha: Hey, sweetheart. I'm leaving a message for my friend, Buzz.
Young Izzy: The Space Ranger?
Alisha: [chuckles] That's right. He's in space right now.
Young Izzy: [amazed] Wow!
Alisha: This is my granddaughter, Izzy.
Young Izzy: I'm gonna be a Space Ranger, too.
Alisha: Just like him?
Young Izzy: [whispers] Just like you. [hugs her grandma]
Alisha: [tenderly kisses her granddaughter's head; last and final words] Goodbye, Buzz. I'm sorry I won't be there to see you finish the mission. To infinity… [holds out her finger]
Buzz: And beyond.
[Alisha ends the holographic message and the hologram turns off; Buzz mournfully notices something sticking out from under the desk and picks it up, revealing a photo of him and Alisha, he tearfully gazes at the photo and wipes his eye]
New Commander: [entering] Knock-knock. Sorry to interrupt. I'm just moving into my new… [recognizes Buzz, meeting him for the first time] Oh! [laughs] Look at that! The actual Buzz Lightyear in the flesh.
Buzz: [salutes] Affirmative.
Commander: [salutes in return] Commander Cal Burnside. I was a big fan of yours when I was a kid.
Buzz: Well, then I look forward to working with you to finally get us out of here.
Cal Burnside: Oh… Did no one tell you?
Buzz: Tell me what?
Commander Cal Burnside: Yeah. Um… [clears throat] That was the last mission, Buzz.
Buzz: What?
Commander Burnside: We've decided we gonna go ahead and stay right here.
Buzz: Wait, here? Negative, that is not a viable option.
Burnside: It is now. See, we're building this… Laser shield. It'll keep all the creeters out. And we'll just tuck right in here and make do with what we've got.

View Quote [after shooting Zurg with a tranquilizer dart, knocking him out unconscious] I bought you 5 minutes.
