Voltron: Defender of the Universe (TV Series)

Give Me Your Princess (1984)

Neil Ross: Keith, Pidge

Quotes 

• Coran : An enemy attack-ship.

  Keith : Let's go!

  Hunk : [exchanging glances with the others]  We're ready.

  Princess Allura : [through the radio]  Black Lion ready for action.

  Keith : The Princess, in *my* Black Lion!

  [switches the camera from showing the ship to her] 

  Keith : Allura, what are you doing in the Black Lion?

  Princess Allura : I'm doing just what my father King Alfor would have done: protecting my planet and my people.

  Pidge : Yeah, but you're in the wrong Lion. That belongs to Keith.

  Hunk : Now you get back into your Blue Lion.

  Coran : No, there's no time.

  Princess Allura : Just 'cause I'm a girl you think i can't lead. Well, come on, I'll show you.

  Pidge : So that's it. *She* wants to be the leader.

  Keith : We'll settle this later!

• Coran : The Voltron Force is a team. Like a chain, it is only as strong as its weakest link.

  Pidge : Hey - why blame us? It was all the Princess' fault!

  Coran : [Allura gasps from where she faces away behind]  the Princess is not entirely to blame. She did earn her place to fly the Blue Lion. But now I don't know if she deserves that privilege at all.

  Princess Allura : [faces them]  "Privilege"? Do you call it a privilege to defend one's world from evil?

  Hunk : [now glances at her]  But you had no right to take the Black Lion.

  Princess Allura : I just wanted to help.

  Lance : You could help a lot more if you would do just what you're supposed to. We don't need surprises.

  [turns his back] 

  Pidge : We get enough surprises from Zarkon and Lotor.

  Coran : [she turns away in shame]  Your friends are angry, and they have the right.

  [runs to stand before her] 

  Coran : Princess, you must realize that the Black Lion is only for the Commander of the Voltron Force.

  Princess Allura : Keith, I only wanted to learn in case someday you returned to Earth and I was left on my own. Keith, say something.

  Keith : [with his back turned]  Good intentions or not, you almost cost us our lives! Sven never would have done that!

• Princess Allura : [thinking in the doorway to the control-room where Keith is]  OK, so I made a mistake taking the Black Lion without asking. But why can't they just forgive me? Do they still want me to fly the *Blue* Lion? Oh, I wish they'd give me another chance.

  [weeps and inwardly groans] 

  Lance : [in her head with the other two]  You took a dangerous chance.

  Hunk : We could've been hurt!

  Pidge : Bad move, Princess.

  Keith : [thinking after Allura leaves]  The Princess took the wrong Lion but she did it for the right reason. Maybe I was too rough on her.

• Lance : It's hard to believe, Lotor is so bold he's just asking us to turn the Princess over to him like a, bag of apples.

  Hunk : If only Sven was here. We wouldn't have to put up with Lotor's demands.

  Lance : Yeah, but Sven's *not* here.

  Pidge : What if he never comes back?

  Lance : Then we'd be stuck with a princess who doesn't know how to work with a team.

• [last lines] 

  Princess Allura : I'm so sorry I caused you all this trouble. I have no right to pilot *any* of the Lions anymore.

  Keith : [spins around]  Are you kiddin'? You *are* the Blue Lion. And someday you'll be the Black Lion too.

  Hunk : You came through when we needed *you* - Partner!

  Lance : What you did out there today, protecting your friends and subjects, was one of the bravest things I've ever seen anybody do.

  Keith : And, I have to ask you a favor: never ever doubt that we always want you on our team.

  Princess Allura : [tears fall from her eyes and she turns away in astonishment]  I feel so happy. So why am I crying?... When you have friends, the world is a much nicer place to live. Having good friends on your team is the best thing in the whole universe.
