Quotes 

• Sven : [pushes back the two boulders he parted to get into the cave]  Now you're safe, so why don't you get out of here!

  Princess Romelle : What do you mean get out of here?

  Sven : Just what I said: go away! Get out of my sight!

  Princess Romelle : What's the matter with you?

  Sven : What do you think? I'm crazy, can't you tell?

  [Romelle starts] 

  Sven : Yeah, you got it. I'm a wild man. I live in these tunnels eating roots and mushrooms. I'm crazy. I could do anything!

  Princess Romelle : [Gasps]  No. I *knew* I recognized your face. You look different, but...

  Sven : But what? I was an unknown slave before I ran away to these caves. So if you think you know me, well - you must have mistaken me...

  [puts the candle down, lowers his voice] 

  Sven : ...for somebody else.

  Princess Romelle : No, I didn't. You used to be the best navigator in the Alliance. Then you joined the Voltron Force.

  Sven : What are you saying? With a crazy brain like I have, do you think they'd let me join the Voltron Force? Now go away!

  Princess Romelle : [nudges his pointing hand down and crosses her arms]  No. You try to act mean, but you're kind; you're not crazy or you wouldn't have saved me. I know you *now*.

  [points] 

  Princess Romelle : You're Sven, the Blue Lion.

  Sven : How dare you! Who do you think you are, coming here and talking about Sven? There *is* no Sven!

  Princess Romelle : Why are you saying that?

  Sven : Because the Sven you speak of is gone. He was nothing but a failure. A *failure*.

  Princess Romelle : No, that's not true. Sven was no failure.

• Princess Romelle : If it wasn't for Sven, the Planet Arus would have been lost.

  Sven : But he lost. He was beaten.

  [starts to cry and throws his head back to howl in anguish before sinking to the ground] 

  Sven : Do you know what that's like? I couldn't move. I could hardly breathe.

  Princess Romelle : [nods]  Yes. But, Sven, it wasn't your fault.

  Sven : So? I still failed. While I was in the hospital Zarkon's fleet attacked. It was a small planet and they couldn't defend themselves. And I couldn't help them. I was brought with the others to be a slave - on Planet Doom. But when they saw I couldn't work, they left me without food or water. I lay there, remembering, dreaming. Sometimes I imagined that I saw myself as I used to be.

  Sven : [in a flashback his former self appears hovering over him causing him to gasp]  You must escape from Planet Doom. Remember, you're part of the Voltron Force.

  Sven : [to the fading image of his self]  How can I escape? Tell me - please!

  Sven : [repeating the two words he said aloud at the time]  But then I realized it was just - a dream. That's when I escaped to the caves. I'll never be the man I used to be.

  Princess Romelle : Yes you will, Sven.

• Princess Romelle : Let's call the Voltron Force.

  Sven : I told you I won't call them; I *can't* call them, don't you understand? I let them down.

  [turns away in shame] 

• Princess Romelle : [horrified at the way Lotor attacks the slaves to find her]  I can't allow this. I must show myself to them.

  Sven : [gripping her wrist then shoulders]  No! You are needed on your planet. You are the only one that knows the key - the key that can save millions of your people. You must get back to them.

• Sven : [covering with his laser-rifle]  Run for the ship!

  Princess Romelle : I can't leave them, I can't!

  Sven : They're doing their part; do yours!

  Princess Romelle : Someday we'll come back, and we'll free *all* the slaves on Planet Doom!

• Sven : [hears her adjusting the controls]  What are you doing?

  Princess Romelle : I'm going to save Voltron with your help. You will be my navigator.

  Sven : No!

  Princess Romelle : You must keep my on target. Just call out the space-coordinates.

  Sven : All right, I'll try it. It's been so long... Here it goes. Coming in at X-37 14-V and leveling. Add 91 and 40 to Atom 4. Sink to cool level at Onik 7 and increase velocity at Code E to 11.

  Keith : He's comin'.

  Sven : 103 - 102 - 101...

  Princess Allura : Good luck.

  Sven : And we're on-target.

  Princess Romelle : [fires]  You've got it, Sven. I knew you could still do it.

• [last lines] 

  Keith : [clasping his hands]  My friend.

  Sven : Keith, I'm going to stay here with Romelle.

  Princess Romelle : [Allura approaches her and Bandor]  Cousin.

  Princess Allura : Romelle!

  Prince Bandor : Princesses together!

  Sven : [turns back to Keith]  She gave me back to life.

  Keith : I'm glad, Sven. And remember, you'll always be a part of the Voltron Force. So if you ever need us back here on Planet Pollux, just call us. We'll be waitin' for ya.
