Memorable Quotes:
Kromanus (To Quinn and Maggie): “On most of the worlds that we conquer, the inhabitants offer only minor resistance. Their primitive weapons are no match for ours. These humans, however. We killed millions, but they wouldn’t yield. The war dragged on for two years. And even though they must’ve known the battle was lost, they didn’t stop. Chemical agents, biotoxins, atomic weapons.”
Kromanus (turns off a view of the outside): “They chose death over surrender.”
Maggie (to Kromanus): “The Battle of California.”
Kromanus: “What?”
Maggie: “On my Earth, there was a world war. It was the second of three, actually. Human against human. The Japanese invaded the west coast of my country. The Marines fought them, block by block, but they kept pouring in reinforcements. When the American lines finally broke, they felt they had no choice. We dropped two atomic bombs. One on Los Angeles, one on San Diego. On our own soil. On our own troops. My grandfather fought there.”
