PEACEMAKERS

Transcript:
Strauss: Ah. Carver. Here to gloat? Do a "victory lap"?
Carver: Not sure I follow.
Strauss: Your outlandish theory has proved true -- and I was one of your most vocal doubters.
Strauss: You were right. Your "Commander-in Chief" presiding over a Dark Aether army. The Forsaken.
Carver: We both know me coming here to gloat would be a waste of time.
Strauss: Ah! So what then? Here to celebrate? Regretfully, I am all out of champagne.
Carver: All right. I get it. You and me? - we won't ever see eye to eye. I'm a man of war. You're a man of science. In WW2, my father fought for the allies, while you fought for the...
Strauss: --how dare you. I never fought for anything more than my own research, and, in turn, my whole life has been in the service of men like you, who only want weapons. Violence. Annihilation.
Carver: You got this all wrong. I'm trying to prevent annihilation.
Strauss: Because you have the bigger stick? Nothing is learned through eradication.
Carver: What about exploration? Your research was only possible because my teams protected yours. I'm not the provocateur, I'm the peacemaker.
Carver: And that's what I'm trying to do right now. Make peace.
Carver: The Forsaken is coming. The way I see it, it's going to take your brains and my brawn to stop it.
Strauss: You are proposing an accord?
Carver: A temporary cease-fire. We need to work together if were going to stop this thing.
Strauss: I would be amenable to that.
Strauss: Surely you can pardon an old man for being stuck in his ways.
Carver: Shit. You're not the only stubborn bastard in this office.
Strauss: I do fear, Major, that we are already too late. I have been studying the primordial energy from the vortices. They are appearing more frequently, rapidly accelerating the terraforming process.
Strauss: In one month's time, we will no longer be able to contain their spread. As long as the portals remain open, they will continue to grow.
Carver: Well. Sounds like we need to find a way to close the portals then.
Carver: For good.
