Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets Quotes

Doghan-Dagui: We know how humans work.

Doghan-Dagui: They're all so predictable.

Sergeant Laureline: Clearly you've never met a woman.

Bubble: I thank you. It was my pleasure performing for you. I leave you my Kingdom, take good care of it.

Major Valerian: I will.

Bubble: But, most importantly...

Major Valerian: Yeah?

Bubble: [re Laureline] Take good care of her. Love her without measure. There's beggary in love that can be reckoned.

President of the World State Federation: [broadcast appearance] The Alpha intergalactic space station has reached critical mass in orbit. Its weight and size now poses a serious threat to mother Earth. In its great wisdom, the Central Committee has decided to use all resources necessary to release the space station from Earth's gravity. Its new course is set with the Magellan Current. Like the great explorer Magellan, the Alpha station will journey into the unknown. The symbol of our values and knowledge, it will carry a message of peace and unity to the furthest reaches of the universe. Our thoughts and prayers go with you. Godspeed, and good luck.

Commander Arun Filitt: [defending his genocidal actions] Our council saw fit to protect citizens first and foremost. Is that not its duty? And mine. And yours! Or would you rather risk wrecking our economy for the sake of a bunch of...

Sergeant Laureline: Savages?

Commander Arun Filitt: You are totally under the influence of these creatures. Do not confuse the issue.

[pointing at Doghan]

Commander Arun Filitt: He's the threat. He's the enemy.

Emperor Haban-Limaï: [walks up undaunted, confronts eye to eye] *You* are your own worst enemy, Commander. Unless you make up with your past, you won't have a future.

Sergeant Laureline: My Ivy League education taught me to steer clear from bad boys like you.

Major Valerian: Yeah, well, you're not gonna find better than me on the market. Straight up. Take a good look. Handsome. Intelligent.

Sergeant Laureline: Modest.

Major Valerian: Brave.

Sergeant Laureline: Suicidal.

Major Valerian: Determined.

Sergeant Laureline: Pig-headed.

Major Valerian: Faithful.

Sergeant Laureline: To yourself.

Major Valerian: Yeah, and to you, you're my partner.

Sergeant Laureline: Yeah, don't forget it.

Major Valerian: Why don't you think with your heart and not with your head for me?

Sergeant Laureline: I don't wanna be another name on your list of conquests, thank you very much.

Major Valerian: What are you talking about? What list?

Sergeant Laureline: [tries freeing Valerian] I suppose since you asked for my hand, you should probably get yours back first.

Major Valerian: Is that a yes?

Sergeant Laureline: Don't move!

Sergeant Laureline: [to the intimidated little Mül creature] Okay, let's have a look at you.

[shakes her head]

Sergeant Laureline: Not a beat, tiger. Come on, don't be scared. I'll come through.

[lifts it out]

Sergeant Laureline: Come on. Wow. You've got the most incredible eyes. Okay, you're a little scrappy, so why don't we get you a nice treatment so you can get your mojo back? Sound good? Come on.

[puts him into device]

Sergeant Laureline: Some high-grade uranium, and you'll be good as new. Hang on, tiger.

Sergeant Laureline: [re the little rainbow-colored creature] He's a real charmer. You may have some competition.

Major Valerian: I'm fine with competition. Hey, still waiting for your answer. I know I can be full of myself sometimes, but I'm dead serious about my proposal.

Sergeant Laureline: We have to complete the mission, major. There's still the top-secret part to attend to. Or is your perfect memory failing you again?

Alex, the on-board computer: Seat belts.

Major Valerian: You know what? I'm gonna ask for ten days leave right now, and I'm gonna take you to the most beautiful beach in the universe. A real beach this time.

[she gives a little smirk]

Major Valerian: The perfect place... for a honeymoon.

Alex, the on-board computer: Ten seconds.

Sergeant Laureline: The honeymoon comes after the wedding. You know that, right?

Major Valerian: Really?

Sergeant Laureline: Yup.

Alex, the on-board computer: Three, two, one...

Major Valerian: [tumultuous liftoff] Wow, Alex, what are you doing?

Alex, the on-board computer: Sorry. Too much traffic.

Sergeant Laureline: [smiling] Do you want me to drive?

Major Valerian: [holds up his hand] No! No, no, no, thank you.

Major Valerian: Everything okay?

Sergeant Laureline: Yeah. You're missing out on a lot of fun.

Major Valerian: Don't worry. We'll be on the beach soon.

Major Valerian: That convertor is government property. And most likely the last one left in the universe.

Sergeant Laureline: So you buy into the Commander's "what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine philosophy"?

Major Valerian: No, I buy into my Oath of Allegiance. We have no authority to hand it over.

Sergeant Laureline: We must make amends.

Major Valerian: Yeah, I agree, but it's not for us to decide. Leave it to the courts.

Sergeant Laureline: They're eighteen million years away, Valerian! Only we can make this right.

Major Valerian: Laureline, I'm a soldier. I play by the rules. It's what makes me who I am.

Sergeant Laureline: [regards him sadly for a long time] You see? That's why I don't wanna marry you. Because you don't know what love is.

Major Valerian: Oh, come on, this has nothing to do with love.

Sergeant Laureline: That's where you're wrong. Love is more powerful than anything else, Valerian. It breaks all rules, all laws, and overpowers any army or government. Just look at her. For one second, put yourself in her position. She lost all of her people and her child, and she's willing to forgive. That's real love. It's the trust you place in someone else. I thought I could be that someone else for you. But clearly...

Major Valerian: You can! You are. I'd die for you.

Sergeant Laureline: I'm not asking you to die for me. I'm asking you to trust me.

Sergeant Laureline: [taunting] How about we look at the memo one last time?

Major Valerian: Can't hurt.

Major Valerian: I completely forgot, I have a question for you.

Sergeant Laureline: Shoot.

[throws back her long hair]

Sergeant Laureline: What?

Major Valerian: Will you marry me?

Sergeant Laureline: [rolls her eyes, exhales, turns back] Not funny.

Major Valerian: [pulls her back] Laureline, I'm serious.

[she groans]

Major Valerian: I've been thinking about what you said earlier and you're right. I need to move onward and upward. I need to commit.

Sergeant Laureline: Here? Just like that?

Sergeant Laureline: Yeah, why not? There's a million things here. I'm sure we can find a priest who'll be happy to oblige.

Major Valerian: [Laureline's the pilot] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy, easy, easy...

Sergeant Laureline: We're late.

Major Valerian: Yeah, better late than dead.

Sergeant Laureline: [lets go of steering controls] You wanna drive?

Major Valerian: [smirks] Put your hand back on the joystick. Woman, put your hand back on the joystick!

[she continues taunting him]

Major Valerian: Laureline, would you please put your hand back on the joystick?

Sergeant Laureline: Will you stop complaining about my driving?

Major Valerian: Yes. I'm sorry. You're a great driver. You're the best driver in the entire universe.

Sergeant Laureline: Oh, thank you.

[hand on joystick again]

Sergeant Laureline: Do you have any idea where we're going?

Major Valerian: Yeah, sure. I mean, I guess...

Sergeant Laureline: You're sure, or you guess?

Sergeant Laureline: [adrift in space in Sixties lunar module] Do you have any idea where they left us?

Major Valerian: We're two hours away from vacation. The furthest distress beacons.

Sergeant Laureline: Two hours?

Major Valerian: Yeah, two hours alone with me, what a drag.

Sergeant Laureline: [smirks] You're kidding. It's basically an eternity.

Creature 'Bird Woman': [Big Market prostitute dressed like male peacock] Wanna fly?

Major Valerian: I'm allergic to feathers.
