Dark Finale (1985)

Melanie MacQueen: Lisa, Marlene

Quotes 

• Rand : Marlene, what's going on here? What does all of this mean?

  Marlene : Can you understand we're only trying to find a place where we can live in peace and security?

  Rand : Yeah, but you forgot one thing: This planet's our home, not some Invid retirement community!

• Marlene : Scott, listen. Listen to me. Perhaps if we can begin again, we might be able to find a way for our two peoples to share this planet together in peace.

  Scott Bernard : I'm sorry, but you know that's not possible.

  Marlene : So you'd rather have the death and destruction continue?

  Lunk : That's right, Marlene! To the bitter end.

  [Marlene gasps in horror] 

  Lunk : Hey, now let me tell you something maybe you've forgotten about: Your people invaded us, remember?

  Marlene : I do.

  Narrator : [voiceover]  Far above, there are many others who agree with Lunk's combative sentiments and prepare for the final confrontation with the alien invaders.

• Marlene : They're only fighting to regain the land that is rightfully theirs, the land we're taking away from them!

  Corg : You've lived with them too long, Ariel! Or should I call you Marlene? Stand aside!

  [blasts off] 

  Marlene : Sera! Sera, you must listen to me. Have we forgotten our past? Have we forgotten that our own planet was stolen from us? What gives us the right to inflict the same evil on these people?

  Sera : We have traveled too far to worry about that now!

  Marlene : We have traveled far... and yet we have learned nothing, Sera. Nothing.
