John Carter Quote

Tardos Mors: Dejah, ever since you were a little girl, you've always met the expectations placed on you. It's Sab's terms.
Dejah Thoris: What are they?
Tardos Mors: He will spare Helium, if you accept his hand in marriage.
Dejah Thoris: No! He is a monster! You must refuse him!
Tardos Mors: He's already on his way here.
Dejah Thoris: But all of my work! I just need a little more time!
Tardos Mors: Dejah.
Dejah Thoris: How can you...? You can't just bow down to Zodanga!
Tardos Mors: A wedding will save the city!
Dejah Thoris: Perhaps! But it could lose you Barsoom!
Tardos Mors: Dejah!
Dejah Thoris: With no one to stop Zodanga it will be the beginning of the end!
Tardos Mors: We do not... we do not have the luxury.
Dejah Thoris: [shouting]You are the Jeddak of Helium! You must find another way!
Tardos Mors: [shouting]There is no other way! [Dejah looks away from Tardos]
Tardos Mors: If there were, I would risk anything to cease it. This is the chance we have been given. Perhaps it is the will of the Goddess.
Dejah Thoris: No. It is your will. When I was little and we would look up at the stars, and you would tell me of the heroes whose glory was written in the sky. How there was a star up there for me. Is this what you imagined would be written on it?
Tardos Mors: [before Tardos answers her Kantos enters with his men]
Kantos Kan: My Jeddak, Sab Than's Corsair approaches the city. They signal for permission to land.
Tardos Mors: Grant it. [Dejah turns away from Tardos in disappointment and sadness]
Tardos Mors: And let us prepare ourselves for a wedding.
