The Survivors

 
 

For the last time, SPRINGER,
I am NOT an Autobot!

I’m a Decepticon WARRIOR!
Saving Humans might be YOUR idea 
of FUN, but it ISN’T mine!
 
Crashed Trains, Hijacks, Burning Oil Rigs...
Is this what it’s come to?
 
When I agreed to join your little group of SURVIVORS, 
I thought we might get a fight or three in!
Maybe I should have STAYED with The Decepticons!
 
Blast! Why’d I blow my top like that?
Springer means well, but…. 
He just DOESN’T UNDERSTAND!
 
This Do-Gooding stuff 
doesn’t come EASY to me!
Though I don’t consider myself EVIL….
I’m still a Decepticon at Heart.
The Need to Fight is in My Oil!
 
Maybe I was WRONG to defy The Decepticons
They won’t rest until I’m DEAD!
Yeah, and all of this High-Profile Rescuing of Humans...
will probably lead them RIGHT TO ME!
 



PROWL :
Well, you’ve certainly proved yourself 
worthy of our Trust, Carnivac. 
Here we were, out for blood, 
and it took a Decepticon 
to remind us we don’t kill.
With that merciful act, 
I welcome you the ranks 
of The Earthforce!
 
CARNIVAC :
Mercy? HAH! These SCUM murdered 
My Friend, Catilla — they deserve NO MERCY.

I just know that denying them their ‘Warrior’s Death’ 
is the WORST fate I can think of!
 
I may now a member of EarthForce, but let’s not forget --
 
I’m still 
an EVIL DECEPTICON 
at Heart!



EMH: 
We have no time to waste. 
According to the computer, we're at warp. 
We've got to figure out some way to slow the ship down before we get too far from the crew. 
That would seem to be our first priority. 
And then we have to get some weapons. 

Mister Suder, are you listening to me? 

SUDER: 
Yes. 

EMH: 
Oh. I see. Perhaps you consider 
this an opportunity. 

SUDER: 
Opportunity? 

EMH: 
To obtain your freedom from confinement. 
How foolish of me to think you would want to help. 

SUDER: 
You're wrong
I do want to help. 

EMH: 
Then what? 

SUDER
I'm going to have to kill 
some of them. 

EMH: 
...it is possible. Violence might 
be required to retake the ship. 

SUDER: 
I've worked so, so hard 
over the last few months 
to control the violent feelings. 

I'm almost At Peace with Myself. 

I mean, I see the day coming 
when I could be. 

EMH: 
Mister Suder. If Lieutenant Tuvok were here, 
I know he would tell you there are times when 
violence is required to defend yourself
to defend Your Ship
to defend Your Crew

SUDER
Yes, there is A Logical Use 
for Biolence — 
For everyone else
With me, once it begins….

EMH
We must do this together, Mister Suder. 
If You Don't Trust Yourself yet, 
then Trust Me

I will help you anyway I can

One hologram and one sociopath 
may not be much of a match for the Kazon, 
but we'll have to do.


The Man :
Hello?

The Father :
What's going on?
I haven't heard back from Max Price.

The Man :
We pulled out at the end of last week.

The Father :
What?

The Man :
Yeah, I didn't like the terms.

The Father :
What fucking terms didn't you like?

The Man :
Excuse me?

The Father :
Why didn't you tell me?

The Man :
It happened last Friday.

The Father :
I could have fixed it
why didn't you let me fix it?

The Man :
There was nothing to fix, Rory.
It just wasn't a good fit.

The Father :
Arthur, I had everything riding on this deal —
Arthur, I NEED The Deal.

The Man :
What are you going on about?
I Don't CARE What You Need.
This is MY Company, just move on.

The Father :
You're killing Your Company 
by not listening to me.

So small-minded.

Jesus, that's why I had to get away from here, 
small island, small fucking mentality.

The Man :
Watch your MOUTH in MY office, Sonny Jim.
Did you have any idea what they were going to DO here?
Shit. Did you even bother to look at the details?
Or were you too busy celebrating?

There wasn't a chance in hell 
I was gonna let them come in here 
and fuck with what I've built.

The Father :
None of that matters, 
The Bottom Line is what matters.
 
You brought me in, to make you money. Right?

You brought me in to make you money
and the best way to make money 
is to SELL the company.

Make The Deal.

The Man :
I've known you a long time you little bastard.
So I'm gonna be honest with you.

You have a great mind, 
and endless charm, 
but you don't pay attention 
to the detail.

I thought you'd changed, but you haven't.
Oh, you know how to ride a wave in an Up market.
Well that doesn't impress.

What impresses me, is how you deal 
with a DOWN market, 
because that's how you build 
a successful company.

You focus on the one percent at a time — 
It's boring and it's ugly.
But it's the bit of the business 
I LOVE the MOST.

The Father :
There won't be any business, 
there won't be any company.
We'll be finished within a year.

The Man :
And we can have 
ALL the information in The World, 
and STILL be WRONG.

Come on.
Get back to trading, Rory.
You're good at it.
VERY good at it.

For Christ's sake, do yourself a favor, 
and stop trying to make a killing overnight.

Bring me something stable.
Find solid footing on some good deals.


The Father :
.....there is something.

The Man :
Oh.

The Father :
I wasn't gonna say it until it was further along, 
but I might as well tell you now.

Yeah.
