V.I.N.CENT ("Vital Information Necessary CENTralized"
---------------------------------------------------
[V.I.N.CENT's tether breaks while repairing the ship]
Kate McCrae: Dan, the tether's broken!
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: I'm going after him!
Dan Holland: Stay at your post, Charlie.
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: What the hell are you made of? What if it was one of us out there?
Dan Holland: V.I.N.CENT is one of us.
---------------------------------------------------
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: We'd be better off without you and Maximilian trying to knock heads.
V.I.N.CENT: I can handle that thing.
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: Well, far be it from you to admit there isn't anything you can't handle.
V.I.N.CENT: There are three basic types, Mr. Pizer: the Wills, the Won'ts, and the Can'ts. The Wills accomplish everything, the Won'ts oppose everything, and the Can'ts won't try anything.
Dan Holland: Well, do us all a favor, V.I.N.CENT, and try to be a Can't, especially where that monster is concerned. We need you, not another corkscrew.
---------------------------------------------------
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: Vincent, were you programmed to bug me?
V.I.N.CENT: No, sir, to educate you.
---------------------------------------------------
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: When I volunteered for this mission, I never thought I'd end up playing straight man to a tin can.
---------------------------------------------------
Dr. Hans Reinhardt: Something caused all this. But what caused... that cause?
---------------------------------------------------
Dr. Hans Reinhardt: The word "impossible," Mr. Booth, is only found in the dictionary of fools.
---------------------------------------------------
Dr. Hans Reinhardt: In, through... and beyond.
---------------------------------------------------
Kate McCrae: If there's any justice at all, the black hole will be your grave!
---------------------------------------------------
Kate McCrae: Alex, I will not have you throw your life away for this!
Durant: He can do it, Kate. I know he can.
Kate McCrae: Oh, God, Alex!
Durant: There's an entirely different universe beyond that black hole. A point where time and space as we know it no longer exists. We will be the first to see it, to explore it, to experience it!
[Inside the "Palomino"]
Booth: Damn it all, Dan! If we wait for Alex, we may be too late! Don't you see? He's hypnotized by that man!
Holland: V.I.N.CENT!
V.I.N.CENT: Yes, Captain?
Holland: Tell Kate I want her back here fast, with or without Alex. Tell her why.
---------------------------------------------------
Harry Booth: No sense leaving the story of a lifetime untold, Captain.
Dan Holland: I'm afraid there is, Harry.
[pointing to the black hole]
Dan Holland: And it's staring straight at us right now.
---------------------------------------------------
Dr. Hans Reinhardt: Increase power to maximum. We are going THROUGH!
---------------------------------------------------
Dan Holland: The controls aren't responding.
V.I.N.CENT: Captain, the ship has been programmed!
Dan Holland: [Resigned] To Reinhardt's course!
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: [Shocked] You mean we're going into the black hole?
Dan Holland: Yup.
Kate McCrae: Let's pray he was a genius!
---------------------------------------------------
V.I.N.CENT: If one dances, one must pay the piper.
[S.T.A.R collapses onto the floor]
V.I.N.CENT: If there's one thing I *cannot* stand, it's a sore loser!
---------------------------------------------------
[V.I.N.C.E.N.T enters the Parts Storage warehouse on the Cygnus. Old B.O.B. floats in one of the corners and comes out upon V.I.N.C.E.N.T's entry]
B.O.B.: My name's B.O.B., Bio-Sanitation Batallion. I couldn't talk freely before, but I have a whole lot to tell ya. If Maximilian knew you were here, it would be the end for the both of us.
V.I.N.CENT: Can you permanently re-arm my lasers?
B.O.B.: Yeah, I can. V.I.N.C.E.N.T, you and your friends are in grave danger. Reinhardt only turned the lights on to prevent any damage to the Cygnus. This is a death ship.
---------------------------------------------------
[Old Bob reveals that the humanoid robots on board are actually survivors from the original crew]
Dan Holland: That explains the funeral!
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: Right!
Dan Holland: [Pointing to Harry] And the limping robot you spotted!
---------------------------------------------------
V.I.N.CENT: We have to go!
B.O.B.: Nope, I can't make it! My main circuits are gone, my anti-grav-systems blown, and backup systems are failing.
V.I.N.CENT: You *can* make it!
B.O.B.: It's no use, V.I.N.C.E.N.T.! My useful days are finished! But part of me goes with ya! It won't ever be defeated!
[starts to shut down]
B.O.B.: Carry on the tradition! We're the best!
[shuts down and falls back]
V.I.N.CENT: [V.I.N.C.E.N.T.'s eyes slowly look down at his comrade in arms, then turns towards the probe ship, turning his head backwards to look at B.O.B. once more as he leaves]
---------------------------------------------------
Dan Holland: Kate, try to get through to V.I.N.C.E.N.T with your E.S.P.
Kate McCrae: [gets a distant look in her eyes as she communicates telepathically. The camera pans to V.I.N.C.E.N.T outside the ship, his head turns and his eye balls glow, communicating back] I got through to V.I.N.C.E.N.T! He said there are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are very few old, bold pilots!
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: She's tuned into V.I.N.C.E.N.T all right!
Dan Holland: Good.
---------------------------------------------------
[the Palamino crew are climbing the pylon structure to board the probe ship. Charlie loses his grip and begins to drift out into space, towards the black hole]
Dan Holland: Charlie!
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: Heeelllllllppppp!
Kate McCrae: No!
Lieutenant Charles Pizer: Heeeeeeelllllllllpppppp!
[Charlie begins to flip over as he is drawn towards the black hole's event horizon]
V.I.N.CENT: [V.I.N.C.E.N.T. emerges from the passage, sees Charlie floating away, and floats out into space to retrieve him. Charlie grabs V.I.N.C.E.N.T., and the two float back and board the probe ship]
---------------------------------------------------
Dr. Hans Reinhardt: [dying words] More light...
