Summit Meeting (1984)

Peter Cullen: Coran, King Alfor, Narrator

Quotes 

• Keith : The villagers are sleeping quietly.

  Coran : [sinks into his chair and spins it to face the sofa]  They feel secure with Voltron standing guard.

  Lance : Well, they should!

  Keith : *I* don't feel that secure.

  Coran : I know. With all the leaders meeting here in one place, it's a great temptation for Zarkon to strike a massive blow.

  Hunk : Why don't we hit him first?

  Lance : We're a defense-force.

  Coran : We can't resort to aggression. We'll maintain a round-the-clock vigil, until he makes a move and then we'll counter. That's the best we can do.

  [coughs twice] 

  Coran : My greatest concern is the Princess. I promised her father I'd protect her with my life; it's coming to that. She insists upon being a member of the Voltron Force. I ought to take her place.

  Keith : No way, Chief!

  Lance : [stands and points to the wall-chart]  We need you here in control. You can interpret what's going on out there better than anybody else in the palace.

  Hunk : And you've still got a cold. We can train a substitute.

  Pidge : Right. It shouldn't take long. And Allura will understand that being princess is a lot more important.

• Coran : [glances at him staring out the window and begins pacing]  You won't see him when he attacks, Keith. He's too clever. It frightens me that he might have devised a means of destroying Voltron.

  [Keith glances at him] 

  Coran : It's possible. We can deal with the known. But Zarkon is aided by the twisted magic of that witch Haggar. And her devises are unknown. To lose Voltron is to lose more than the Defender of the Universe. It's to lose freedom, hope, friends. Has it occurred to you what life would be for Allura if she fell into Lotor's hands?

  [looks at him] 

  Coran : You know I could create a reason for her having to leave Arus.

  Keith : She'd see through it. We have to count on vigilance. The minute we detect Zarkon's course of action, we'll move with the total might of Voltron! He'll run. And don't worry about Allura.

  Coran : You're more concerned about her than I am, right?

  Keith : Mm-hm.
