Thundercats

Jaga:
While you will one day wear the crown, Lion-O, only the Eye of Thundera, the source of our power, knows if there is indeed a king inside of you. Take the sword and become one with it.

Claudus:
You hold in your hands what built the ThunderCats empire. But only he who is deemed worthy can harness its awesome power.

Claudus:
The Book told that it was the ThunderCats, our ancestors, who first defeated Mumm-Ra! It was the ThunderCats who brought law and order to a world of waring animals! And it is now the ThunderCats who are strong enough to maintain this fragile peace!

Lion-O:
I'm going to ring that bell!

Tygra:
And I'm gonna ring yours!

Tygra:
When it comes to everything except the crown, you're always going to be 2nd place. When are you gonna learn, little brother?

Lion-O:
We can't let this happen.

Tygra:
Why? They're our greatest enemy, Lion-O.

Lion-O:
Well, maybe they don't have to be.

Tygra:
You'd better be very sure you want to do this, because I've got his back.

Mob Leader:
Ha ha ha! All of us against you two?

Cheetara:
Make that three!

Lion-O:
Twice in one day, now I know you're following me.

Cheetara:
Yeah, right into trouble... again!

Tygra:
Now you see me. Now you don't!

Lion-O:
We're all leaves passing in the wind; here and then gone. But while we're here, We Live To the Fullest!

Lion-O:
[Draws the Sword of Omens] Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! THUNDERCATS - HOO!

Lynx-O:
Even from this distance, I can smell them. Lizards, and there are many... Sound the alarm!

Tygra:
We've lost our kingdom, our father, the Sword... We lost everything.

Lion-O:
This is my fault, Tygra. I didn't know what it meant at the time, but... I did see a vision through the Sword... Mumm-Ra...

Tygra:
And you told no one? This is exactly why you aren't fit to be king! Your decisions always bring disaster!

[the lizards Lion-O had saved earlier on return the favour by bringing him an escape route]

Lion-O:
Sometimes my decisions bring disaster, and sometimes they bring a key...

Claudus:
[to troops] Thundera once again turns to you, noble warriors, to defend her. Tonight, as we go into battle, I only ask that you fight like cats. For our ancestors. For the Pride!

Lion-O:
[on Claudus] He's lost all faith in me, Jaga.

Jaga:
What is important is that you do not lose faith in yourself.

Jaga:
The Book of Omens lies at the foot of the setting sun... You must find it before Mumm-Ra does...

Lion-O:
I can't do this alone!

Jaga:
You won't have to. You have everything you need, Lion-O. Whatever questions remain, the answers are in the Book of Omens. Find it! Now go! Go!

Lion-O:
You took my father's life... but you won't take his sword! [holds up the Sword]

Lion-O:
Thunder! Thunder! THUNDER! THUNDERCATS! HO!

Mumm-Ra:
You are but insects to the power of Mumm-Ra The Ever-Living!

Jaga:
Clerics... To the death! [the clerics attack]

[last words]

Claudus:
[to Lion-O] No matter what happens, you've made me proud today.

Tygra:
I would never betray you. Not then, not now.

[last words]

Javan:
[to Tygra] Always remember, son, you are a Tiger. I will be watching you, with pride.

Tygra:
Is it my destiny to always lose the things I care about?

Lion-O:
You aren't gonna lose me, brother.

Panthro:
I guess your father's sword wound up in the right hands after all. I served him proudly, and you can expect the same.

Lion-O:
So you think that when we get to fix the ThunderTank, I can drive it?

Panthro:
Not a chance, my King.

Lion-O:
If we stay here, we die.

Tygra:
ThunderCats do not retreat!

Lion-O:
With a situation this hopeless, I'll make an exception!

Tygra:
Hope comes from action! Isn't that what Father told us?

Lion-O:
And what happened to him? Now come on!

Lion-O:
In the blink of an eye...

Cheetara:
Hmmm?

Lion-O:
Nothing... It's just... I keep thinking about my father... I, I know it sounds dumb, but I thought he'd live forever... He gave his life, and for what? We have nothing left.

Cheetara:
We have the Sword. We have each other. But most importantly, we have hope.

Cheetara:
[holds a Petalar child] As the ancient Thunderian philosopher said: Time is relative. This child was just a baby hours ago. The Petalars' entire existence seems to pass in the course of a single day. But from their perspective...

Lion-O:
It's a lifetime.

Lion-O:
What's the point of it all? Kingdoms rise and fall. Lifetimes come and go. Are any of us here long enough to even make a difference?

Adult Emrick:
You sound like an old man talking like that.

Lion-O:
Emrick?

Adult Emrick:
With so many great adventures ahead of us, we still have a chance to make our marks.

Lion-O:
Yes, my friend, many adventures. I hope.

Adult Emrick:
[attacks the Lizards] This is the moment Lion-O has been preparing me for my whole life... The ThunderCats have been our friends for as long as we can remember... They have stuck with us through good times and bad, helping make us who we are today... It's time we repaid their friendship. Let this be a day that will be sung about by our people for ages to come!

Lion-O:
[holds up an elderly Emrick] Hurry, there's not much time... Literally.

Old Emrick:
This, I'm afraid, is the end of my journey.

Lion-O:
Emrick?

Old Emrick:
It's all right... old friend...

Lion-O:
In the blink of an eye...

Old Emrick:
In the end, what matters isn't how long we've lived, but how fully we've lived... The good we've done... the friends we've made... the love we shared along the way...

Lion-O:
[cries] I'm sorry I didn't get you to The Garden...

Old Emrick:
It's the journey, Lion-O... Remember that... [He and Lion-O remember their brief time together, and then Emrick dies in Lion-O's hands, blowing away into the breeze]

Cheetara:
We can try to find another way out of this Briar...

Lion-O:
Retreat...? ThunderCats never retreat! I say we face the lizards, and hope for the best... We're all leaves passing in the wind, here and then gone. But while we're here, we live to the fullest! Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! ThunderCats! HO! [the ThunderCats attack, but get surrounded fast]

Tygra:
Father would have been proud of your bravery, Lion-O!

Lion-O:
A glory I'm honored to share with all of you!

Cheetara:
My service to the crown has always been a cherished privilege!

[the Thundertank appears and decimates the Lizardmen]

Cheetara:
What is that thing?

WilyKat:
I hope that's on our side!

[last lines]

[the Thundertank driver appears]

Lion-O:
Who are you?

Panthro:
Name's Panthro!

[the Lizardmen are defeated and run for cover]

Slythe:
Hold your position! I said, hold your positions! You miserable cowards!

Child Emrick:
When I grow up, I wanna be like you, Lion-O.

Lion-O:
Enjoy your childhood. Trust me, you'll miss it when it's gone.

Child Emrick:
But I want to be a hero. Can you give me sword lessons?

Lion-O:
Well first, you can't just wave a weapon around like that. You need to concentrate, be more precise... [a giant winged creature seizes Emrick and flies away]

Child Emrick:
Whoa! Help me Lion-O!

Lion-O:
Emrick! Fight back! [Emrick jabs his thorn sword into the creatures talon until it drops him]

Lion-O:
Emrick! You scared me half to death!

Adult Emrick:
I thought I'd never see you again!

Lion-O:
Who are you? Where's Emrick?

Adult Emrick:
What are you talking about Lion-O? I'm Emrick.Don't you recognize your old friend?

Lion-O:
Emrick's just a boy.

Adult Emrick:
Maybe the last time you saw me... But I suppose I was lost in the woods a long time...

Lion-O:
Uh... not that long...

Adult Emrick:
You never gave up trying to find me!

Lion-O:
No problem...

Child Emrick:
What are you? I've never seen people like you before. Are you from here in the Briar? What's that in your hands? Did you make it? You're not the same as the others. Are you some kind of pet? Do you grow from seeds like us? What's that red crystal? How tall are you anyway? Why are you covered with hair? What kind of...?

Lion-O:
Okay, slow down. You sound like me when I was your age.

Lion-O:
Power alone is rigid, but if you can bend with the wind, you'll never break!

Hattanzo the Drifter:
Willows are weak, yet they bind other wood.

Jaga:
Guardians of the Crown, bring forth the Sword of Omens! While you will one day wear the Crown, Lion-O, only the Eye of Thundera, source of our power, knows if there is indeed a King inside of you. Take the Sword, and become one with it...

Claudus:
You hold in your hands what built the ThunderCats' empire. But only he who is deemed worthy can harness its awesome power.

[WilyKat and WilyKit panhandle for food]

WilyKat:
You know sis, it's not always going to be this way. Once I get that map, I'm taking you to the City of Treasure, El Dara.

WilyKit:
Really?

WilyKat:
We'll have more food than we'll know what to do with, and so much money, people will be begging US for it!

WilyKit:
El Dara, here we come!

Claudus:
He knows how important today is. Where is that boy Jaga?

Jaga:
Be easy on him Claudus. Remember, when you were his age your father wasn't always pleased with you either.

Claudus:
I never neglected my duties as Prince, like he does. Why can't he be more like you Tigra?

Tygra:
You're asking for the impossible, father...

Lion-O:
When are you going to grow up?

Tygra:
When I do, I hope I'm nothing like you...

Lion-O:
It's official, they think I'm a failure. And they always will unless I can prove I'm not chasing a childish dream. But, how I can I do that when even Grune said there was no tech out there?

Jaga:
Don't let what Grune failed to see stand in the way of what you believe. The Book says that our greatest king will possess the ability of Sight Beyond Sight.

Lion-O:
You mean like... having visions?

Jaga:
More than that Lion-O. It's the ability to lead with clarity. For sight is useless without action.

Claudus:
It was many seasons ago when I sent out generals Grune and Panthro, to find the fabled Book of Omens. While it remains lost, Grune has returned with tales of adventure, great treasure, and new lands to conquer. Today, we show him our appreciation.

Claudus:
The Book told that it was the Thundercats, our ancestors, who first defeated Mumm-Ra! It was the Thundercats who brought law and order to a world of warring animals! And it is now the Thundercats who are strong enough to maintain this fragile peace!

Jaga:
These were days of peace and prosperity on Third Earth... When one empire stood above all others, ruling with a just heart and razor claw. And though Omens foretold in the Book would be ignored, the tragedy to come was necessary... For it was written that He would be born of fire, a king to lead his people to victory against Ancient Spirits of Evil...

Panthro:

"Defeat of your enemy is worth any sacrifice."
