Predator: Badlands quotes

Page 2 of 2

I could help you, but... I need a hand.

Dek

Yautja hunt alone.

Yautja might hunt alone, but they die alone too. Kalisk. You're hunting the Kalisk.

It's so beautiful. After all the time I've been stuck here, I never get tired of the view.

Dek

How long have you been here?

Well, we arrived on Genna two years ago, and we built a base. Then, I was in the vulture's nest for the most exciting 13 days, seven hours, 43 minutes and two seconds of my life. But I always knew someone would come. I was just wrong about who.

Dek

Who would come?

Tessa. Our crew is made entirely of synths. But Tessa and I are special. We have a higher sensitivity than the others.

Dek

Sensitivity is weakness.

Sensitivity is what allows us to understand the creatures on this planet. We were created to work in tandem. Me, cooped up in the lab, Tessa out in the field. Until the wonderful day Tessa let me come with her. We were exploring Genna. And the Kalisk attacked us. Separated me... and us. The last sound I remember hearing was Tessa calling out my name. Reaching for me. Then the Kalisk. I didn't know what to do. But I refuse to believe she's dead.

Look. Many Yautja have come for the great Kalisk, and none have survived it or Genna. I've seen the Kalisk. I survived it. Here's my proposal: You take me along with you, and I'll guide you to its den. Once there, I get my legs, you get your trophy, and everyone's a winner. Deal?

Dek

You have seen the Kalisk?

Oh, yeah. I've seen the Kalisk? [Waits for Dek to respond, her confidence slowly draining as the silence stretches, shifts awkwardly, glancing toward the horizon] Okay. Hmm. Good luck with your journey. I'm just gonna... go on my journey. I'm sure you'll figure something out.

Why'd your father kill your brother?

Dek

My brother was protecting me. The clan can have no weakness. I will show them strength.

On Earth... there's a predator known as the wolf. It's a powerful creature. They hunt in packs. They're very loyal. The leader of the pack is the alpha, known as the most dominant.

Dek

Wolf. This alpha must be a great killer. I will hunt it too.

No. The alpha isn't the wolf who kills the most. The alpha is actually the one who best protects the pack.

Dek

I see... The alpha is actually the one who best protects the pack. But, I will be the the alpha that kills the most.

[A Yautja ship hovers on the horizon]

More friends of yours?

Dek

No. It's my mother.

[Bud spits at Dek marking him]

I think she's marking you. She wants you to be part of her clan. Maybe she's lost.

Dek

I have no clan!

What do you mean? Don't all Yautja have family?

Dek

No clan!

So you never had anyone looking out for you?

Dek

I had a brother.

What happened to him?

Dek

Father killed him.

You're grieving.

Dek

Grief is weakness.

You're here because you lost your brother.

Dek

I am here for Kalisk. Why are you here?

I'm here because traveling with you is the best way to get back to Tessa. When I was in that vulture's next, I was so afraid I would never see her again.

Looks like you finally earned that cloak. [When Dek's father's head is bitten off by Bud]

[Having just fully reattached her legs when Dek is knocked into the medical bay by the Kalisk]

Oh, come on!
