Alien Crossing

Dejah Thoris: You mad fool! You're not from Earth! There are no Gates of Iss! I only told you what you wanted to hear so you'd get us out! Stop! I can't! I cannot marry him!

John Carter: Can't marry who?

Dejah Thoris: The Zodanga Jeddak you fought. Sab Than. He offered a truce to my father in exchange for my hand.

John Carter: Your father?

Dejah Thoris: Tardos Mors.

Sola: The Jeddak of Helium. She is a princess.

John Carter: A princess of Mars. How about that? A princess who didn't wanna get married, so she ran away.

Dejah Thoris: No.

John Carter: Is that all there is to this story?

Dejah Thoris: No! I didn't run away! I escaped!

John Carter: From what? His breath? So marry the guy and save your people.

Dejah Thoris: A life of oppression, that's not living!

[as she runs to follow them Dejah falls, Carter suddenly turns back and offers to help her up]

Dejah Thoris: If you had the means to save others, would you not take any action possible to make it so?

John Carter: No good will come out of me fightin' your war.

Dejah Thoris: I would lay down my life for Helium. Yes, I ran away. I was... afraid, weak. Maybe I should have married, but I so feared that it would somehow be the end of Barsoom. I tell you truly, John Carter of Earth, there are no Gates of Iss. They are not real.

John Carter: I'm sorry, princess. But this...

John Carter: [he shows her the medallion that brought him to Barsoom]

John Carter: This is real. And so is my cave of gold.

[he offers his hand to Dejah to help her up which she reluctantly takes]

John Carter: [as they are pursued by the Thark tribe, Carter touches Dejah's hand and has flashback to coming home after the war to find his home burned with his wife and his daughter inside]

Sola: Dotar Sojat!

Dejah Thoris: What are you doing?

John Carter: [he jumps off the lizard-horse creature] Sola, get her out of here.

Dejah Thoris: No! Carter!

John Carter: I was too late once. I won't be again.

Dejah Thoris: No! No! No! No!

[Carter tries to force Woola to flee with the women, but Woola remains, as the Thark tribe reach him, Carter leaps in the air and onto the warriors, with each slash of his sword he flashbacks to burying his wife and daughter and placing his wife's wedding ring on his hand, then the Tharks begin to overwhelm him and Carter disappears under a pile of Thark warriors]
