- Musica: I know they are supposed to be completely alien to our race, but I am guilty of... emotions. Isn't that what the human beings call it?
- Karno: Musica!
- Musica: I feel I must be punished for it, for I am... guilty! Yes, I can't deny my feelings. I just can't!
- [begins to sob as tears well up in her eyes]
- Tirolian Bystander: [alarmed] Musica, what's that you're doing there?
- Karno: I think I know what it is. It's a sickness of the earthlings called "crying."
- Musica: [in her thoughts] Oh, if this is a sickness, I know who is responsible for infecting me with it. It's Bowie. Bowie, do you suffer the same sickness as I?
- Nova Satori: Promise not a word of this to Dana. She has the worst temper I've ever seen. Oh, did I say that? Oh, must be the wine, excuse me. When she discovers that her beloved 15th Squadron has been left out of another major operation that girl is gonna absolutely blow her top!
- Nova Satori: Ah, the Zero Hour.
- Zor: Oh? Something important?
- Nova Satori: Well, don't tell Dana and the others, but the relief force is just taking off for the moon.
- Science Master: Taking Musica as an example, we are seeing an upsurge in emotionality and counterproductive behavior similar to what happened to the Zentraedi when they tried to recover the Protoculture.
- Master Elders: It seems to me the time has arrived to begin full production of our Invid fighters.
- Science Master: Yes, my lord, I firmly believe it is the best hope we have for ensuring the survival of our civilization.
- Science Master: You must realize that the continued survival of your own people hangs in the balance?
- Musica: Oh, no. Nooo...
- Science Master: Child, you will submit. Your disobedience cannot be tolerated, do you understand?
- Musica: No, no, I don't. Ooooh...
- [swoons and collapses]
- Science Master: This is far worse than I had imagined.
- Karno: Has she ceased to exist?
- Science Master: No. She has fallen into what the humans call a "faint."
- Narrator: The discovery of the Invid "Flower of Life" within the ruins of the SDF-1 has made the Robotech Masters even more desperate to recapture their lost battle fortress. They know the flower is the first sign of the coming Invid invasion.
- Dana Sterling: [Nova and Zor are caught in the restaurant] There you are!
- Nova Satori: Dana!
- Dana Sterling: Just who the heck do you think you are, you double-dealing android? What do you mean by dumping me and taking out someone like her?
- Nova Satori: Now wait a minute, Dana! I don't like the sound of that "someone like her"!
- [pounds table, dishes clatter]
- Dana Sterling: You're not supposed to like it, you tramp! It was an insult!
- Nova Satori: [roars in rage] WARRGGH!
- Science Master: In order to prepare for the Invid, we'll need units much more closely tied to the Triumvirate.
- Master Elders: Yes, that might explain our problems with Zor Prime. We've had some trouble with him. His neuro-sensor; it's been malfunctioning.
- [second master speaks]
- Master Elders: It seems the human trait known as "emotions" may be responsible for the malfunction.
- [third master speaks]
- Master Elders: Yes, these emotions destabilize the brain's function.
- Dante: Well, well, aren't we looking awfully chic tonight?
- Dana Sterling: Angelo, have you seen Zor around anywhere?
- Dante: Hm, it's a real pity. I bet if he'd seen you in that get-up he'd have never gone and asked Nova out tonight.
- Dana Sterling: He's with Nova?
- Dante: Uh-huh, He said something about dinner and maybe the theater afterwards.
- Dana Sterling: [gasps] No! But he can't! He couldn't have done that to me, Angelo! We had a date for tonight!
- Dante: Hey, hey, don't go bitin' my head off! It ain't my fault.
- Dana Sterling: That no-good two-timer! I swear, I'll never be able to trust an android again!
- Dante: Now, c'mon, the boy might behave a little funny sometimes, but all he needs is a bit of compassion. Do you remember that, ma'am?
- Dana Sterling: Ewww!
