Ethan
They're basically the same person.
Ethan
I'm so lucky I ran into you! By the way, you're not dangerous, right? I mean, you don't look dangerous, I just, you know...
Ethan
Just be brave! You can do this.
Ethan
It’s inspiring to see how resilient people can be. We can be resourceful. We can surprise. The world’s clearly changed. And it continues to change. And though we can’t live like we did in the past, we’ve now given ourselves a better stance at a future. We’re not quite there yet, but we won't be. Because the best legacy we can leave is making a present worth opening tomorrow. Thank you for everything you’ve given me. I’ll do my best to live up to your legacy. I owe I make you proud. Love always, your son.

8 scenes Ethan Clade
[as he sees his parents kissing]
Ew. This is the first image that has to be imprinted on my brain this morning?
Meridian Clade
Oh, Ethan, does this bother you?
Searcher Clade
Impossible. I mean, what sixteen year-old boy doesn’t like seeing their parents smooch? [starts kissing again much to Ethan's disgust]
Ethan Clade
Okay, okay! Ugh! [eating his breakfast] You know, I owe you know that you're emotionally scarring Legend.
Meridian Clade
Yeah. He looks real awful.
Searcher Clade
[Searcher sighs and looks at the weeds outside from the window]
Looks like someone forgot to weed the north field.
Ethan Clade
[still eating]
Father, what is a weed... other than a plant growing somewhere that you find inconvenient?
Searcher Clade
[sighs happily]
I appreciate how clever you are! But you know what I'd appreciate more?
Ethan Clade
If I weeded the north field?
Searcher Clade
You see? So clever! [Searcher starts kissing Meridian]
Searcher Clade
[Attacked by reapers]
Stay behind me!
Ethan Clade
Who's he?
Searcher Clade
Ethan, meet your grandpa.
Ethan Clade
That's Jaeger Clade?!
Jaeger Clade
The one and only.
Ethan Clade
No monster, no Pando!
Searcher Clade
And no bad guys? What kind of game has no bad guys?
Jaeger Clade
That’s just poor storytelling.
Ethan Clade
Okay. You know what?! You want bad guys?! Fine. You two are the bad guys! BECAUSE YOU'RE BOTH ARE ANNOYING ME!
Searcher Clade
[Ethan walks in frustration and opens the door but Splat removes the cards and squeaks in frustration while walking and slams the door]
Ha! Teenagers, right?
Jaeger Clade
[flicks the card away]
I win!
Meridian Clade
You're doing great. Yeah, just... [gasps] WATCH OUT FOR THE WALKING LANDMASS! [rushes to Ethan and steers the Venture Ship to avoid]
Ethan Clade
And I got it! See? [sees Searcher and Jaeger holding the bars] Sorry, sorry. My bad. We're all good.
Searcher Clade
I know you, Ethan. And this isn't you. [Ethan angrily jumps off the Venture Ship to leave] Ethan, come back here. Ethan! Ethan!
Searcher Clade
[after Ethan jumps off the Venture Ship to leave, Searcher follows him on his vehicle]
Are you crazy? Hey, get on this skiff, now!
Ethan Clade
Leave me alone!
Searcher Clade
[He tries to leave, but Searcher catches up]
Hey, what is this all about?!
Ethan Clade
You, Dad. You.
Searcher Clade
Me?!
Ethan Clade
You just assume I’ll follow in your footsteps, but you never asked me what I wanted!
Searcher Clade
You're a kid! [grabs Ethan to his vehicle] You don't know what you want!
Ethan Clade
I know I DON'T WANNA BE YOU!
Searcher Clade
[sighs]
My whole life, I worked so hard to be the exact opposite of my dad. And, uh, looks like I ended up just like him. I just wanted so badly to build you a legacy you could be proud of. But I might've got a little bit caught up in it.
Ethan Clade
Dad, stop talking.
Searcher Clade
Ethan, I'm trying to apologize here.
Ethan Clade
Dad.
Searcher Clade
That's an eye, right?
Ethan Clade
Yeah.
Searcher Clade
A… A really, really big eye.
Ethan Clade
Yeah.
Searcher Clade
And it's looking right at us.
Ethan Clade
[gasps]
You… You know what this means, right?
Searcher Clade
It's judging me?
Ethan Clade
No, no. If this place has an eye, it has to be attached to a head. And if this place has a head, that means what we've been travelling through this entire time was its insides.
Searcher Clade
Like, its guts and stuff?
Ethan Clade
Okay, yes. Hear me out. The windy forests we were in, that's the lungs, and… and the acid lake? That's the stomach!
Searcher Clade
And this giant eye must be its eye.
Ethan Clade
The Reapers aren't monsters. They're an immune system.
Searcher Clade
What?
Ethan Clade
That's what Splat was trying to tell me. This place is alive. It's a living thing. We didn't find the heart of Pando, we found an actual heart.
Searcher Clade
So, all this time, we've been living on the back of this giant creature?
Ethan Clade
Yeah, and Pando is killing it.
Searcher Clade
[As Searcher walks into the Venture Ship, one of Callisto's crew grab him]
Callisto?!
Ethan Clade
[off-screen]
Dad?!
Meridian Clade
[Searcher sees Meridian, Ethan, and Splat are captured by Captain Pulk and Caspian]
Get your hands off me!
Callisto Mal
Emotions are running really high right now, and I don't know what you think you saw, but we came down here to save Pando. That plan hasn't changed.
Searcher Clade
[getting taken away by her crew]
You have no idea what you're doing! You are going to destroy Avalonia!
Meridian Clade
No, let me go!
Searcher Clade
Please, you gotta listen to me!
Ethan Clade
Get off me!
Searcher Clade
[Callisto's crew lock Meridian, Ethan, Searcher, and Splat into a storage closet]
You're making a big mistake! You gotta get us outta here! Unlock this door! No, you can't do this! YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME!
Ethan Clade
Can you not yell at my dog?!
Searcher Clade
Well, I wouldn't yell if he were actually trained!
Ethan Clade
He is trained. He hasn't peed in the house for the last two days.
Meridian Clade
We've been on this ship for the last two days.
Searcher Clade
[Splat continues to guide Legend and sees the switch and plays it]
You still have to unlock it. There's a switch right beside the handle! Legend, do you see the switch? Legend, you see the switch?
Searcher Clade
[Legend spots the switch and playfully licks it]
What is that sound? Is he licking the switch?! Legend, stop licking the switch. [Meridian chuckles to searcher as Legend licks it] Legend, stop! Legend, stop licking the switch! STOP LICKING THE SWITCH!
Ethan Clade
[Splat squeaks to Searcher and slides down to the door outside and switches the door lever and pats him but he slides down to the door back inside and Legend opens it revealing the Clades]
Okay, what's the plan?
Searcher Clade
Let's get back control of this ship!
