Mili: "Luna... yes, where is she?"
James: "Something's not right."
Lucas: "Everything is wrong..."
Mili: "Guys, calm down. First, we need to figure out where we are and find Luna."
Kai: "Look over there... is that a noise coming from there?"
James: "We're going to die... from this poisonous gas."
Lucas: "That's why I'm feeling nauseous."
Mili: "Everyone, stop! We're not going to die."

Voice: "I don't know."
Luna thinks.
Luna: "What more do you want?"
Voice: "You're clever, but I want something you don't have."

Luna: "I'm sorry, Dad, but..."
Luna's Dad: "I'm really tired because of you. Why won't you listen to me? Professor Hendrix is doing his best; I'm doing my best. Why do you have to risk your life like this?"
Luna: "Listen, Dad. I'm okay. I'm fine."
Luna's Dad: "I can't let you go. How will I live if you're not around?"
Luna: "Dad, I'm not going anywhere. I'm sorry. I love you."
Kai's Father: "Kai, come with me."
