Book 15-The Escape

"We like to keep busy.  It's either rescue entire races or play Nintendo."
--Marco

"He meant if it came down to crunch time, would I destroy my own mother to protect the mission.
That's what he meant."
"And?"
"I don't know, Jake.  I don't know."
--Marco, Jake

<Well, as long as the
dolphin is okay.  Because I really, really hope the dolphin is okay.>
<Are you going to be sarcastic the rest of the day?>
<Yes, I am going to be sarcastic the rest of the day.  I nearly drowned.  Now I'm going to go
become the thing that nearly drowned me.  I will be sarcastic unitl further notice.>
--Tobias, Marco

"Let's get fishical, fishical."
--Marco, singing

<Now,
this is an interesting human concept.  This hologram makes it almost appear that we
are under the water.>
"Ax, it's not a hologram."
<Then...we
are underwater?  Protected only by badly made human plastic?>
"Yeah."
<Why do you humans
do things like this?>
--Ax, Rachel

<Two of the three big hatches are open.  Eenie, meenie, minie, moe?>  --Rachel
<Heads or tails?>  --Marco
<One potato, two potato?>  --Cassie
<What do these things mean?>  --Ax
<These are highly advanced human methods for making choices.>  --Marco

<Do you Andalites believe in luck?>
<No.>
<Me neither.  How about hope?>
<We believe in hope.>
<Good.  Now me, I believe in Jake...>
--Marco, Ax

Then I ducked into a side door...A tail blade was pressed against my throat.
"Hey, it's me.  Please don't remove  my head.  I use it sometimes."
--Marco

<Marco?>
<Yeah?>
<Do what's right.  Forget about what anybody thinks.  Do what's right.>
That's my friend Jake.  That's his answer to anything, I guess:  Do what's right.  And somehow he
always seems to know just what that is.  Or at least he thinks he does.  Jake's a natural hero.
Heroes always know what's right.
--Jake, Marco
