Neil Ross: Keith, Pidge

Quotes 

• Pidge : Don't run! Don't panic! That's the biggest danger of all!

• Pidge : Look - it's OK to be afraid. Even I get scared sometimes. Yeah - me.

• Keith : [regains consciousness to hear the lasers' thundering around him]  Oh, no, here comes *more* bad news.

• Keith : I wonder what little surprise Yurak is cooking up for us now.

  Lance : Whatever it is - I just wish he'd get *on* with it.

  Hunk : You *had* to say that!

• Commander Yurak : Space Explorers, look at these poor frightened captives. Are you willing to sacrifice an entire village because you won't give up? Have you no heart? You must surrender!

  Tammy : [grabs his arm while looking at the people around the ship]  Pidge - there's my mother!

  Tammy's Mother : [weakly]  You - will never make us slaves.

  Tammy : [crying in his arms]  Pidge, we've got to do something. They'll hurt her!

  Hunk : I vote no. I think they're bluffin'.

  Princess Allura : But how can we take that chance with so many lives at stake?

  Keith : I've got to make this decision, and I'm making it. We have to surrender.

  Hunk : We can't do that; I'm tellin' ya they're just bluffin'. WHYOU - !

  [looks up startled at the sound of firing to see a man jolt about on his feet for a second before falling] 

  Commander Yurak : That was only a stun-gun. The next fool will not be so lucky.

  Princess Allura : I agree with you, Keith; we don't have a choice.

  [groaning into the radio] 

  Princess Allura : Coran, Coran...

  Coran : Princess.

  Princess Allura : Nanny - Coran - you both know how much I love Arus... But still, with so many lives at stake we're. forced to run up the white flag of surrender.

  Nanny : Oh, Princess!

  [Coran groans] 

• Brox : All hostages will be released when the five of you are safely in our hands. Come forward now, quickly.

  Keith : We don't like your terms.

  Brox : I am not programmed for rejection.

  Keith : Look, we're not fools. We'll come over one at a time. And for each one of us, you'll release a group of the hostages. Got it?

  Princess Allura : [sees Tammy is the one in Pidge's uniform]  Oh, no!

  Brox : [takes his hand from his chin]  My primary circuit rejects your proposal. My secondary circuit says, we accept. We have a split decision. Advance at your own risk.

• Keith : Pidge pulled it off!

  Hunk : [grinning]  I taught the little guy all the tricks.

• Pidge : [laughs as he lands]  Guess I proved size isn't everything. Now maybe I'll get a little respect around here. Just - a little?

  Keith : Not a little, Pidge. A whole lot.

• [last lines] 

  Tammy : When I get bigger, I'm going to be a Space Explorer, just like them.

  Tammy's Mother : You're only a little girl right now, but I'm sure you'll make it, if that's what you really want.

  Tammy : I don't really have to get a *lot* bigger. I fit in Pidge's spacesuit right now.

  Princess Allura : Goodbye for now.

  Tammy : Don't forget your promise. I'm counting on you. Goodbye. And thank you.

  Pidge : [chuckles wistfully]  She reminds me of my kid sister back with the Space Explorers on Planet Terra. And she makes me proud to be one of the little people. Who needs to be big? Well, of course big can be good too if you're really huge and super-powerful like Voltron, Defender of the Universe!
