Marco: Now do you see why it's crazy to think we can beat the Yeerks? I mean, come on: We can barely beat zoo security. Rachel: Tell them we're what? Marco: Idiot teenagers with a death wish. Marco: Oh, I'm sure we could talk them into letting us in for nothing. You guys will have to pay, but I can use my mom's employee discount, so it'll be cheaper. (to Cassie) Can you get us in? Cassie: I can get in free. We need to get some help from Mother Earth's toughest children. Jake: I think we have to head to The Gardens. (holds out hands, helpless) I have to do it. And I know Tom is going down there tonight. I'm not asking anyone else to go with me.

It's like being stuck in the most impossible video game ever invented. All you can do to fight them is turn into a dog and bite their ankles. Marco: Let's see, it's you versus Chapman, the cops, a bunch of Hork-Bajir and Taxxons, and, worst of all, that creep, Visser Three. Marco: (hesitates, glares at Tobias) Okay, it's just a meeting, right? We go and see. You want to stay out of it, Marco, that's cool, too. And I think maybe the way to do that is to check out this meeting of The Sharing. (throat tightens) Maybe that's what will happen. Maybe it's your own brother you'll end up destroying. It wasn't just for the fun of being a dog or a horse or a bird. (surprising himself) The Andalite gave us the morphing power for a reason. Sorry about the Andalite, but I've got enough death in my family. Jake: (realizes Marco is right, that he doesn't know about reality the way Marco and Tobias do) Marco: So maybe we just walk away from this. Nothing bad has ever really happened to you. You don't know anything about reality, Jake. Jake: (stops cold) Marco: It's not exactly some video game, is it? This is reality. Let's see how much you want to do it when it turns out it's your own brother you have to destroy. You want to get into this fight against the Yeerks? Fine. And I don't care what you say, Jake, I think Tom is, too. Marco: We're pretty sure the cop is a Controller. That was as scary as life got back then.įive minutes later, life got a lot scarier.Įlfangor: The Hork-Bajir are a good people, despite their fearsome appearance. You know what I was afraid of right then? I was afraid of admitting to Tom that I hadn't made the team.

It's like it was a million years ago, like it was some totally different group of kids. #1: The Invasion Jake: (narrating) Sometimes I think about that one, last moment when we were still just normal kids.
