Quotes
-
[at the press conference hall, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and Berger are standing in front of the TV cameras. Reporters sit in lines. TV technicians prepare the broadcasting equipment]
Shawn Berger : [On TV] Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our regular programming to present...
Megatron : [On TV] People of Earth! This is Megatron. Any questions? You, in front.
[Unnoticed, Spike, Sparkplug, Chip and mayor sneak in, with the incriminating tape in their possession, intending to reveal the Decepticons' scheme in public]
Reporter : Thank you, sir
[looking at his notes]
Reporter : Mr., uh, Megatron, now that the Autobots are gone - what are your plans here on Earth?
Megatron : I'm glad you asked, Earth-germ!
Shawn Berger : [turns to Megatron, shocked at this rudeness] What?
Megatron : My plan is to conquer this mud-ball of a planet, and
[makes squashing gesture]
Megatron : suck it dry of energy!
Reporter : [drops his notes in fear] We've been had!
[the audience mumbles in fear and shock]
Megatron : Yes! Thanks to my partner, Shawn Berger
[gestures toward Berger, who stands speechless]
Megatron : .
Reporter : Berger!
Male audience member : Traitor!
Female Audience Member : [gasps] I don't believe it!
Berger's Guard : [to another of Berger's guards] We've been working for a traitor!
Reporter : [waves his fist angrily at Berger] Berger, you filthy swine!
Shawn Berger : [Speechless, shakes in fear, realizing that he was used by the Decepticons to get rid of the Autobots, and now nothing can stop the Decepticons - all because of his lust for power]
Spike Witwickey : [to his friends, gesturing the tape, which is no longer needed as Megatron himself revealed the truth] Nothing is more stale than old news.
Berger's Guard : Shred my paycheck, Berger! I'm switching sides!
[he and the other guard point their rifles at Berger and rush toward him, but Starscream shoots and destroys their rifles]
Megatron : Is anyone brave - or stupid enough - to oppose us? This city is under martial law... and *I* am the marshal!
Shawn Berger : [bows his head in despair]
