Oblivion Quote

Malcolm Beech: [explaining the history of the war to Jack]I'd been in the army less than a year when that unholy Tet arrived. Saw the moon get taken out. Right up there in the night sky. I couldn't believe it. After that, nature took over. There's bedrock around Chicago, so we were spared the worst of the waves and the quakes. Most people just starved. Then the Tet sent troop ships down. The doors opened, and out you came. Astronaut Jack Harper. Thousands of you. Memory wiped. Programmed to kill. They had taken one of our best and turned him against us. No soul. No humanity. The Tet. What a brilliant machine. Feeding off one planet after another for energy. Phase Two was drones. Repairmen. Fifty years of watching those hydro rigs suck our planet dry. Then one day I saw you set down. Another drone to fix. But in the rubble that day was a book. You picked it up. You studied it. And I thought I saw a way. When you stepped in front of that drone and saved her? [motions to Julia]
Malcolm Beech: I knew. You were in there... somewhere. I just had to find a way to bring you back.
