- Supervisor Lonni Jung: My sacrifice? It means nothing to you, does it?
- Luthen Rael: I said I think of you constantly and I do. Your investment in the Rebellion is epic. A double life? Every day a performance? The stress of that? We need heroes, Lonni, and here you are.
- Supervisor Lonni Jung: And what do you sacrifice?
- Luthen Rael: Calm. Kindness. Kinship. Love. I've given up all chance at inner peace. I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion, I'm damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they've set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is my sacrifice? I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else's future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? Everything!
- Kino Loy: My name is Kino Loy. I'm the day shift manager on Level Five. I'm speaking to you from the command center on Level Eight. We are, at this moment, in control of the facility.
- Cassian Andor: Is that the best you got?
- Kino Loy: How long we hang on, how far we get, how many of us make it out, all of that is now up to us. We have deactivated every floor in the facility. All floors are cold. Wherever you are right now, get up, stop the work. Get out of your cells, take charge and start climbing. They don't have enough guards and they know it. If we wait until they figure that out, it'll be too late. We will never have a better chance that this and "I would rather die trying to take them down than giving them what they want." We know they fried a hundred men on Level Two. We know that they are making up our sentences as we go along. We know that no one outside here knows what's happening. And now we know, that when they say we are being released, we are being transferred to some other prison to go and die and that ends today! There is one way out. Right now, the building is ours. You need to run, climb, kill! You need to help each other. You see someone who's confused, someone who is lost, you get them moving and you keep them moving until we put this place behind us. There are 5,000 of us. If we can fight half as hard as we've been working, we will be home in no time. One way out! One way out! One way out! One way out! One way out! One way out!
- Cassian Andor: We need to go tomorrow.
- Kino Loy: Tomorrow?
- Cassian Andor: You heard me.
- Kino Loy: Go where?
- Cassian Andor: Anywhere. It has to be tomorrow.
- Kino Loy: Tomorrow.
- Cassian Andor: We can't wait. We'll never have a better chance.
- Kino Loy: You sound insane.
- Cassian Andor: No, listen to me. They don't have enough guards, and they know it. They're afraid. Right now, they're afraid.
- Kino Loy: Afraid? Afraid of what!
- Cassian Andor: They just killed a hundred men to keep them quiet! What would you call that?
- Kino Loy: I'd call that power.
- Cassian Andor: Power? Power doesn't panic. Five thousand men are about to find out they're never leaving here alive. Don't you think that worries them upstairs? Whatever we're making here, it's clearly something they need. They can't afford to be surprised again.
- [Buzzer sounds, alarm blaring]
- Cassian Andor: There'll never be less guards than tomorrow. You know that!
- Kino Loy: On-Program!
- [Kinoy moves to door, hands behind head]
- Cassian Andor: Everyday we wait, they get stronger!
- Kino Loy: It might be wise to have a plan!
- Cassian Andor: We have a plan!
- Kino Loy: Oh what! You and Birnok and Melshi?
- Cassian Andor: You don't have time to be stupid!
- Kino Loy: Come on!
- [Kinoy forcefully drags Cassian to door, both struggle]
- Cassian Andor: The plan works around the new man coming down! They'll replace Ulaf tomorrow. That might not happen again until it's too late. I'd rather die trying to take them down than die giving them what they want.
- [Alarm continues blaring]
- Cassian Andor: We won't have a better chance. It has to be tomorrow.
- Luthen Rael: Calm Kindness, Kinship, Love.
- Luthen Rael: I've given up all chance of inner peace.
- Luthen Rael: I've made my mind a sunless place.
- Luthen Rael: I share my dreams with ghosts.
- Luthen Rael: I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there is only one conclusion, I'm damned for what I do.
- Luthen Rael: My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they've set me on a path from which there is no escape.
- Luthen Rael: I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down there was no longer any ground beneath my feet.
- Luthen Rael: What, What is my sacrifice?
- Luthen Rael: I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them.
- Luthen Rael: I burn my decency for someone else's future.
- Luthen Rael: I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see.
- Luthen Rael: And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude.
- Luthen Rael: So what do I sacrifice? EVERYTHING!
- Luthen Rael: You'll stay with me, Lonni.
- Luthen Rael: I need all the heroes I can get.
