Quotes
-
Elena Wallace : [under attack by Scourge and his minions] Stop following me.
Noah Diaz : I'm not following you. I'm just escaping in the same direction.
-
Elena Wallace : So, I've been doing some research, and I don't think that the statue is Horus. As a matter of fact, I'm sure it's not. The boys dated it around 5000 BC, right?
Jillian : Mm-hmm.
Elena Wallace : But the Nubians, they never even had contact with the Egyptians until 600 years after that. The symbol's not hieroglyphic. I don't even think it's from that part of the world. I think it might be Aztec or Inca. It's not some Egyptian god. It's something else.
-
Jillian : Intern, I paged you three times. Why didn't you call me?
Elena Wallace : Okay, well, I figured if I stopped to call, that would make me later.
Jillian : The police are here. They busted an art auction. The owner claims that everything is authentic, but they want a second opinion.
Elena Wallace : All right.
[cut to a row of items she's inspecting]
Elena Wallace : The da Vinci sketch is legit. The painting's a copy. Real one is at the National Gallery in London. Roman vase. Valuable, but you are not gonna retire off of them. This Greek curse tablet, it would be expensive, but it's a fake.
Jillian : How can you tell?
Elena Wallace : See the spelling? Roman. Doesn't even show up in that era.
-
Jillian : [Elena comes across a statue of Airazor] It's pretty neat, right?
Elena Wallace : Yes. Where is it from?
Jillian : They just discovered it in Sudan. The boys say it's Horus, fifth millennia BC, Nubian?
Elena Wallace : This symbol is definitely not hieroglyphic.
Jillian : Well, if it's as exotic as it looks, I'm gonna get a feature in "Minerva".
-
Noah Diaz : At least the foot soldiers took the bait.
Elena Wallace : Yeah, but Scourge didn't. He's guarding the key.
Mirage : All right, this should lead to the bottom of the Transwarp control panel. Get the key, get the hell out of there.
Noah Diaz : Wait, what are you gonna do?
Mirage : I'm gonna go distract Scourge.
Noah Diaz : No, you can't take on Scourge alone.
Mirage : Relax. I'm Mirage, remember?
-
Noah Diaz : You want to find this other key and deliver it to the guy that just kicked your asses.
Optimus Prime : The Transwarp Key is our only way home.
Noah Diaz : If this dude gets ahold of that thing, it's game over for Earth! Our families, everybody. I'm going.
Optimus Prime : Out of the question.
Noah Diaz : No offense, but I'm not trusting my home to a guy who couldn't even protect his. This is my planet. I'm going.
Airazor : What about you?
Elena Wallace : Me?
Airazor : What is your name?
Elena Wallace : Elena.
Airazor : Elena, will you lead us to this temple?
Noah Diaz : [she looks to him] Chance to stop the end of the world.
Arcee : Actually, you'll be saving two worlds.
-
Optimus Prime : [after Bumblebee is destroyed] This is my fault. It should have been me.
Airazor : I'm sorry for your loss.
Mirage : No offense, lady, but who are you again?
Airazor : My name is Airazor. I am a Maximal. A warrior from both your past and future.
Mirage : Oh, right. That... that tracks. Yeah.
Airazor : We fled our home planet on the eve of its destruction. We sought refuge and hid here on Earth.
Elena Wallace : Right. So you're a Maximal. Y'all are Autobots. What was those things that attacked us earlier?
Airazor : Terrorcons. Servants of a dark, hungry god who feeds on entire worlds to sustain himself.
Optimus Prime : Unicron.
Mirage : So you're saying this thing Unicron eats planets to survive?
Airazor : Yes. And he imbues his servants, like Scourge, with dark energy, which makes him all but invincible. He is entirely beholden to Unicron. Through his power, he possesses Scourge's soul.
-
Elena Wallace : [seeing Scourge] You were telling the truth.
Noah Diaz : Yeah. But those ones aren't with me.
Scourge : Rip the flesh from their bones and bring me the Key.
Elena Wallace : [giving the Key to Noah] It's yours.
-
Noah Diaz : You really think this key thing is in Peru?
Elena Wallace : I-I think so. The evidence lines up.
Noah Diaz : Well, if it is, and we get our hands on it, then we gotta destroy it.
Elena Wallace : What?
Noah Diaz : They can't unite the key without both pieces. No key, no Unicron, no Earth getting eaten.
Elena Wallace : Yeah, but then they can't get home.
Noah Diaz : We gotta think about us. Look, all you gotta do is find it. And I'll take care of the rest.
-
Noah Diaz : First time flying?
Elena Wallace : Man, this is my first time leaving New York.
-
Noah Diaz : [breaking into the museum, he bumps into Elena] I didn't think anyone was in here.
[seeing she's holding the Key]
Noah Diaz : That's it.
Elena Wallace : Who are you? Hmm?
Noah Diaz : I'm, uh... the janitor.
Elena Wallace : Security!
Noah Diaz : No, no, no! You don't have to do that! It's not what it looks like.
Elena Wallace : Well, it looks like you're trying to steal museum property.
Noah Diaz : Okay, it's a little what it looks like.
-
Wheeljack : The coordinates you gave me correspond to an old church. Take a look.
Elena Wallace : That's Santo Domingo. The Spanish built it on top of an old Inca temple.
Wheeljack : Correcto. I picked up some residual energy readings around the courtyard, so I'm guessing the key's somewhere close by. But we may have some trouble getting there. Inti Raymi. It's a festival that shuts down the whole city.
Mirage : Guess it's a night mission, then.
Optimus Prime : No. Scourge could already be here. We must retrieve the other half before he does.
Noah Diaz : Me and Elena will do it.
Elena Wallace : Hmm?
Noah Diaz : Y-Y'all would never make it two blocks.
Arcee : There's human security all around the church. You'll never get through.
Noah Diaz : Then we'll have to take a play out of your book. We'll hide in plain sight. We'll blend in with the parade.
Optimus Prime : It is not a bad idea. We will keep an eye out for the Terrorcons. On first sign of trouble, we are going in.
-
Noah Diaz : There's gotta be a way to stop this dude.
Optimus Primal : It's too late. The Transwarp has already been activated. It has more energy than a supernova. Any interruption will ignite it like a bomb. The only way to stop this process is an access code installed long ago as a safeguard.
Mirage : Okay, what's the code, then?
Optimus Primal : The code was split along with the key. Sadly, the second half of that code died with Airazor.
Elena Wallace : No, wait, wait. I-I got it. The one hiding her half of the key, it had markings in it just like the ones I found in the cave where you hid yours. Together, they must complete the access code.
Optimus Primal : Hmm.
Noah Diaz : So we got a chance now, right?
Optimus Primal : A slim chance.
Optimus Prime : That is all we need, if you will show us the way, Primal.
-
Elena Wallace : What if we didn't destroy it? Maybe there's another way to... to save both our homes.
Noah Diaz : Elena, I made a lot of mistakes in my life. This is different. I can't fail at this. I can't let my family down.
Elena Wallace : You're just like him. You know that?
Noah Diaz : Who?
Elena Wallace : Optimus. I'm serious. He feels it, too.
Noah Diaz : Feels what?
Elena Wallace : Like a beast of burden just trying to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. You think he's some... some general barking orders, but when I look at him, all I see is a big brother trying to protect his family.
-
Elena Wallace : So, who are you?
Optimus Primal : We Maximals are an advanced race dedicated to the expansion of life throughout the universe. We use the Transwarp Key to visit young worlds.
Elena Wallace : The Nazca Lines, the Temple at Tikal... that was you guys, right?
Optimus Primal : Not us. We cannot claim credit for human ingenuity.
Optimus Prime : But you had the Key. Why stay on this world?
Optimus Primal : When Unicron destroyed our world, we took an oath dedicated to the preservation of life, no matter the cost. And Earth has been a safe refuge.
-
Elena Wallace : That stonework is 17th century. What we're looking for is something much, much older.
Noah Diaz : [she sees a stone marker on the ground] What is it?
Elena Wallace : It's the same insignia on Airazor. But it's not lined up right. Wait, you see that? I think there's something under here.
[as she rotates the marker, they hear a rumbling of stone]
Elena Wallace : There's another one.
Noah Diaz : [re-aligning the markers] Now what?
Elena Wallace : I thought it would've...
[the stone beneath their feet moves, revealing a secret entrance]
Noah Diaz : That's some Indiana Jones-type shit.
-
Optimus Primal : Airazor, I'm happy to see you, old friend. But bringing others here was not part of our plan. I fear you bring dark tidings.
Airazor : Scourge has come to Earth.
Optimus Primal : He's found us.
Airazor : And he has half of the key. We must find the second piece before he does.
Elena Wallace : But it wasn't in the cave.
Optimus Primal : It was. But we moved it long ago to keep it safe.
Airazor : Where is it now?
-
Optimus Prime : I should have gotten the Key myself. I should've known better than to rely on humans.
Noah Diaz : Yo, hold up. What, you blaming me? After you conveniently left out the part about a planet-eating monster?
Optimus Prime : Because of you, Unicron will now use the key to consume every planet in the universe! Including my home world.
Airazor : He doesn't have the Key. At least not all of it. We broke the Key into two pieces for safekeeping, then splintered and went into hiding. I do not know where the other half is. For all I know, I am the last of our kind.
Elena Wallace : [remembering the symbols she saw on the hawk statue] It's in Peru.
Noah Diaz : How do you know that?
Elena Wallace : It's the symbols on the stone. They were only ever recorded in one other place in the world. The Inca Temple of the Sun in Cusco. It's one of the oldest buildings in the western hemisphere. I'm-I'm...
[showing Airazor her journal]
Elena Wallace : I'm guessing that that can't be a coincidence.
Arcee : If you can track those symbols to Peru, so can the Terrorcons. We need to get there before they do.
Optimus Prime : And then kill Scourge and take his piece to complete the Key.
