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 |
