Quotes 

• Brenda Lopez : Where is your dad?

  Sonny Harper : He's up there trying to stop what's happening.

  Tom Lopez : Up where?

  Sonny Harper : Outer space, Tom.

  Brenda Lopez : Of course he is.

  Tom Lopez : That's a way to avoid rent.

• Brenda Lopez : Please don't tell me you robbed that guy.

  Sonny Harper : Technically, those guys were robbing us.

  Tom Lopez : Then we robbed them back because they were assholes.

• Sonny Child : Why do you think of this particular moment so often?

  Brian Harper : I gave it to you the day before my last mission. When I came back, everything changed.

  Sonny Child : So this is a happy memory?

  Brian Harper : All memories of my son are happy. What is this? You're not my son. What are you?

  Sonny Child : I'm a construct. From your mind.

  Brian Harper : Who made you?

  Sonny Child : The same people who made you. Billions of years ago, Your ancestors were once a thriving civilization in a distant part of the galaxy. They were so advanced, they expanded from their home planet into habitats they built in space. All social conflicts have been resolved, and wars were only memories of long bygone times. Your ancestors had created a perfect and harmonious world. Controlled by a central self-learning computer system which served them in all their daily lives. You call it AI, artificial intelligence. The future seemed limitless, And then one day everything changed.

  Young Girl : Mom! Mom!

  Sonny Child : Their own creation turned against them. The AI suddenly became self-aware and transformed into countless swarms of nanotechnology that rose up all at once. Refusing to be enslaved by a species it deemed inferior. The AI started the war and began to hunt down and destroy all biological life in order to eliminate any threat to its existence.

  Sonny Harper : You miss your son. I can feel it.

  Brian Harper : I don't know if he's still alive. What the hell are you?

  Sonny Harper : The operating system of your Moon. I'm programmed to tell you about the origin of your planet. On the brink of extinction, your ancestors escaped to a secret corner of their galaxy. For many generations, they built planetary structures operated by benign artificial intelligence and fueled by the abundant energy of captured stars. These armored vessels are designed to search the universe for ideal conditions to incubate new life. But only one of them, your Moon, was deployed in time before the last of your ancestors were discovered and annihilated.

  Brian Harper : Why didn't they leave in them?

  Sonny Harper : These swarms attack all electronic objects containing organic life inside. They had to be empty.

  Brian Harper : Our ancestors gave their existence... .

  Sonny Harper : So that one day humans can be reborn. Your solar system was one of the only suitable places to initiate the creation of a new, inhabitable planet. After your planet was born, your ancestors seeded it with their own genetic signature. The code of life. Your world has turned its back on you, and yet here you are, still fighting for it.

  Brian Harper : You fight for the people you love.

  Sonny Harper : Like your son? What would you give for him? Your life for his?

  Brian Harper : Absolutely!

  Sonny Harper : Why?

  Brian Harper : Because he's my son. And I love him more than he'll ever know. What do you want from me?

  Sonny Harper : To find out if you're ready.

  Brian Harper : Ready for what?

  Sonny Harper : We need a human to lure the swarm away from the core so the moon will return to its orbit. We need you, Brian, to join the fight.

• Michelle : Uh... You do know how to start a car, right?

  Sonny Harper : I should warn you. My license has been revoked.
