[last words] Goodbye, Buzz. I'm sorry I won't be there to see you finish the mission. To infinity... [Buzz: And beyond.]

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?
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: [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.
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 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.
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.

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…
