Cooper: You sent people out there looking for a new home?
Dr. Brand: The Lazarus missions.
Cooper: That sounds cheerful.
Dr. Brand: Lazarus came back from the dead.
Cooper: Sure, but he had to die in the first place. There's not a planet in our solar system that can sustain life and the nearest star is over a thousand years away, I mean, that doesn't even qualify as futile. Where'd you send them?
Dr. Brand: Cooper, I can't tell you any more, unless you agree to pilot this craft. You're the best pilot we ever had.
Cooper: And I barely left the stratosphere.
Dr. Brand: This team never left the simulator. We need a pilot, and this is the mission that you were trained for.
Cooper: What, without even knowing it? An hour ago, you didn't even know I was alive and you were going anyway.

- Without making promises you don't know you can keep.

Cooper: You're ruling my son out for college now? The kid's fifteen.
Principal: Tom's score simply isn't high enough.
Cooper: What's your waistline? 32? With, what, a 33 inseam?
Principal: I'm not sure I see what you're getting at.

Cooper: Is that a ninety percent wouldn't know, or ten percent wouldn't know?
TARS: I also have a discretion setting, Cooper.
Cooper: Ah. But not a poker face, huh?

- Nice and easy, Doyle. Nice and easy.
- I feel good.
- Take us home.
- Lock.

Cooper: Well done.
- Okay, helmets on.
- Good job.

CASE: Ranger 2, prepare to detach.
Brand: What! NO, NO! Cooper! Cooper, what are you doing?
Cooper: Newton's third law. You've got to leave something behind.
Brand: You said there were enough resources for both of us!
Cooper: We agreed, Dr. Brand... ninety percent.

TARS: I have a cue light I can use to show you when I'm joking, if you like.
Cooper: That might help.
TARS: Yeah, you can use it to find your way back to the ship after I blow you out the airlock.
[cue light flashes]

- AMELIA: CASE!
- No air.
- Ammonia.
- Cooper. Cooper, we're coming! CASE!
CASE: I have a fix.

- Maybe that's because Grandpa's close to being one himself. Back to bed.
- Were you dreaming about the crash?
- Get your butt back in bed, Murph. Heh.

Cooper: I'm here now, Murph. I'm here.
Murph: No. No parent should have to watch their own child die. I have my kids here for me now. You go.
Cooper: Where?
Murph: Brand. She's... out there. Setting up camp. Alone, in a strange galaxy. Maybe right now, she's settling in for the long nap. By the light of our new sun. In our new home.

- Come on. Come on, Murph. Come on!
- What's it say? What's it say, Murph?
- What's it say?
- "Stay."

Young: Dad?
Cooper: Sorry, Murph. Go back to bed.
Young: I thought you were the ghost.
Cooper: There are no such things as ghosts, babe.
Young: Grandpa says you can get ghosts.
Cooper: Maybe that's because Grandpa is a little too close to being one himself. Go back to bed.

Romilly: Don't! Don't!

Cooper: We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt.

Brand: Couldn't you've told her you were going to save the world?
Cooper: No. When you become a parent, one thing becomes really clear. And that's that you want to make sure your children feel safe. And that rules out telling a 10-year old that the world's ending.

TARS: I wouldn't leave you behind... Dr. Brand.

- I will have solved the problem of gravity.
- I give you my word.

Brand: Maybe we've spent too long trying to figure all this out with theory.
Cooper: You're a scientist, Brand.
Brand: So listen to me, when I say that love is not something we invented. It's observable, powerful. It has to mean something.
Cooper: Love has meaning, yes. Social utility, social bonding, child rearing...
Brand: We love people who've died. Where's the "social utility" in that?
Cooper: None.

Cooper: You're a scientist, Brand.
Brand: So listen to me when I say that love isn't something that we invented. It's... observable, powerful. It has to mean something.
Cooper: Love has meaning, yes. Social utility, social bonding, child rearing...
Brand: We love people who have died. Where's the social utility in that?
Cooper: None.
Brand: Maybe it means something more - something we can't yet understand. Maybe it's some evidence, some artefact of a higher dimension that we can't consciously perceive. I'm drawn across the universe to someone I haven't seen in a decade, who I know is probably dead. Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. Maybe we should trust that, even if we can't understand it. All right Cooper. Yes. The tiniest possibility of seeing Wolf again excites me. That doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Cooper: Honestly, Amelia... it might.

- COMPUTER: Hatch lockout disengaged.
- Dr. Mann, do not,
- I repeat, do not open the hatch.

- I like what you do.
- I like our farm.
- You're gonna be great at it.

- Ready?
- Ready.
TARS: Ready.
CASE: Main engine ignition in three... two... one. Mark.

- But who put it there?
- Who do we have to thank?
- I'm not thanking anybody until we get out of here in one piece, Rom.
Cooper: Any trick to this, Doyle?
- No one knows.
- The others made it, right?
- At least some of them.

Cooper: You don't believe we went to the Moon?
Ms. Kelly: I believe it was a brilliant piece of propaganda, that the Soviets bankrupted themselves, pouring resources into rockets and other useless machines...
Cooper: Useless machines?
Ms. Kelly: And if we don't want to repeat of the excess and wastefulness of the 20th Century then we need to teach our kids about this planet, not tales of leaving it.
Cooper: You know, one of those useless machines they used to make was called an MRI, and if we had any of those left the doctors would have been able to find the cyst in my wife's brain, *before* she died instead of after, and then she would've been the one sitting here, listening to this instead of me, which would've been a good thing because she was always the... calmer one.

Cooper: Well, this little maneuver's gonna cost us 51 years!
Brand: You don't sound so bad for a man pushing 120!

TARS: [as Cooper repairs him] Settings. General settings. Security settings.
TARS: Honesty, new setting: ninety-five percent.
TARS: Confirmed. Additional settings.
Cooper: Humor, seventy-five percent.
TARS: Confirmed. Self destruct sequence in T minus 10, 9...
Cooper: Let's make that sixty percent.
TARS: Sixty percent, confirmed. Knock knock.
Cooper: You want fifty-five?

- Murph is a bright spark.
- Maybe I should fan the flame.
- She's already making fools of her teachers.
- So maybe she should come and make a fool out of you.
- So where are they?

- Don't judge me, Cooper.
- You were never tested like I was.
- Few men have been.
- You tried your best, Murph.

TARS: Everybody good? Plenty of slaves for my robot colony?

- I got you suspended.
- What?
Mann: [OVER RADIO] Cooper.
- This is Cooper. Go.
- Coop, those combines you rebuilt went haywire.
- Just reset the controllers.
- I did that. Now you should come take a look.

[comforting his daughter]
Cooper: I love you, forever. You hear me? I love you forever. And I'm coming back. I'm coming back.

- He told you, right?
- You knew.
- This was all a sham.
- You left us here.
- To suffocate.
- To starve.

Murph: [through video monitor] Hey Dad. You sonabitch. Never made one of these while you were still responding because I was so mad at you for leaving. And when you went quiet, it seemed like I should live with that decision, and I have. But today's my birthday. And it's a special one, because you told me... you once told me that by the time you came back we might be the same age. And today I'm the same age you were when you left.
[crying]
Murph: So it'd be a real good time for you to come back.

- We don't have it. Helmets on!
- Brand, co-pilot, you're up.
- CASE, blow the cabin oxygen through the main thrusters!
- We're gonna spark it.
- Roger that.
- Locked.
- Depressurizing.
- Engines up!

- It says, "Stay," Dad.
- Murph.
- You don't believe me.
- Look at the books! Look at this.
- It says, "Stay."
- Why...? You're not listening!
- It says, "Stay!"
- No, I'm coming back.
- When?

- No.
- No parent should have to watch their own child die.
- I have my kids here for me now.
- You go.
- Where?
- Brand.

- You know that some of the finest... solo yachtsmen in the world don't know how to swim?
- They don't know how. And if they go overboard, psst, they're done.
- We're explorers, Rom.
- This is our boat.
- Here.

Cooper: We're still pioneers, we barely begun. Our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, cause our destiny lies above us.

Cooper: Once you're a parent, you're the ghost of your children's future.

- Door's not charging.
- Never mind.

- I don't care much for this pretending we're back where we started.
- I want to know where we are.
- Where we're going.
- Mr. Cooper. The family's all in there.
- Yeah.
- Family?
- Yeah, they all came out to see her. She's been in cryo-sleep for almost two years.

- seemed like I should live with that decision. And I have.
- But today's my birthday.
- And it's a special one, because you told me...
- You once told me that when you came back, we might be the same age.
- And today I'm the age you were when you left.
- So it would be a real good time for you to come back.

Dr. Brand: I'm not afraid of death. I'm an old physicist - I'm afraid of time.

Dr. Mann: Don't judge me, Cooper. You were never tested like I was. Few men have been.

- If we could just see the collapsed star inside... the singularity, yeah, we'd solve gravity.
- And we can't get anything from it?
- Nothing escapes that horizon.
- Not even light.
- The answer's there, just no way to see it.
- There's Miller's planet.
- Goodbye, Ranger.

- What was that?
- The first handshake.
- We're...
- We're here.

Mann: Murph? Murph, come on!
- COMPUTER: Eject. Eject.
- Eject.
- Eject.
- Eject.
- Eject.

CASE: He doesn't know the Endurance docking procedure.
- The autopilot does.
CASE: Not since TARS disabled it.
- Nice.
- What's your trust setting, TARS?
- Lower than yours apparently.
Cooper: Do not attempt docking.
- I repeat, do not attempt docking.
- Please res...

- Murph! Murph! Murph!
- Murph!
- No, no, no!
- Murph!
- Murph!
- No! No!

- used his power source to keep the mission going.
- I thought I was alone before I shut him down.
- Would you like me to look at him?
- No. No. He needs a human touch.
- Dr. Brand, CASE is relaying a message for you from the comm station.
- Okay. Be right there. Excuse me.

- Hello, CASE.
- Hello, TARS.
- All right, we're all set.
- All right, let's do it.

- Travel safe, huh?
- Yeah.
- You look after our place for me, all right?
- All right?
- Uh-huh.
- Hey, can I use your truck while you're gone?
- You mean your truck?
- I'll make sure they bring it back.
- Look after my kids, Donald!

- COMPUTER: Auto-docking sequence withheld.
- Override.
- Unauthorized.
- Override.
- Unauthorized.
- Do not attempt docking. I repeat, do not attempt docking. Please resp...

Brand: You might have to decide between seeing your children again and the future of the human race.

Cooper: After you kids came along, your mom, she said something to me I never quite understood. She said, "Now, we're just here to be memories for our kids." I think now I understand what she meant. Once you're a parent, you're the ghost of your children's future.

- Don't you know who we are, Coop?
- No, professor, I don't.
- WOMAN: You know my father, Professor Brand.
- We're NASA.
- NASA?
Brand: NASA.
- The same NASA you flew for.

[after the explosion]
Cooper: What's your trust setting, TARS?
TARS: Lower than yours, apparently

- Towards the mountains!
- Those aren't mountains.
- They're waves.
- Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit.
Cooper: That one's moving away from us.
- AMELIA: We need the recorder.

Mann: Check.
- Taking control.
TARS: This is handover to you.
Mann: A.D.F. check.
Cooper: Over.
- Pull thrusters back.
- Fuel cells one, two, three.
Mann: One hundred percent.
Cooper: Ex-mites.

- Dr. Mann, listen to me.
- This is not about my life.
- Or Cooper's life. This is about all mankind.
- There is a moment...
- It is not sa...
- Oh, my God.

- I'm going home.
- You have attachments.
- But even without a family...
- I can promise you that that yearning to be with other people is powerful.
- That emotion is at the foundation... of what makes us human.
- It's not to be taken lightly.
- How long have you had that cough?
- A while.

- The gravity's punishing.
- Been floating through space too long?
CASE: One hundred and thirty percent
- Earth gravity.
Cooper: Come on. Come on.
- There's nothing here.
CASE: Should be right here.
- If the signal's coming from here, then...

Doyle: We have a mission.
Cooper: Yeah, and our mission is to find a planet that can habitate the people living on Earth right now. Okay? Plan A does not work if the people on Earth are dead by the time we pull it off.

- Dot-dot... dash-dot.
- Dot-dash-dot-dot.
- Dot-dash-dot-dot.
- Dash-dash-dash.
- Dash, dash, dash.

Dr. Brand: Not sure of what I'm more afraid of: them never coming back, or coming back to find we've failed.
Murph: Then let's succeed.

- MAN'S VOICE: Step away!
Cooper: Don't shoot! I'm not armed.
- My daughter's in the car.
- MAN'S VOICE: Don't be afraid.
- Aah!

TARS: Cooper, they didn't bring us here to change the past.
Cooper: Say that again.
TARS: They didn't bring us here to change the past.
Cooper: [realizing] But they didn't bring us here at all. We brought ourselves. TARS, give me the coordinates for NASA, in binary.
TARS: In binary, roger, feeding data.
[Cooper creates the binary lines in the dust on Murphy's bedroom floor]
Murph: It's not a ghost... it's gravity.
Cooper: Don't you get it yet, TARS? I brought myself here! We're here to communicate with the three-dimensional world! We're the bridge! I thought they chose me. But they didn't choose me, they chose her!
TARS: For what, Cooper?
Cooper: To save the world! All of this, is one little girl's bedroom, every moment! It's infinitely complex! They have access, to infinite time and space, but they're not *bound* by anything! They can't find a specific place *in* time, they can't communicate. That's why I'm here. I'm gonna find a way to tell Murph, just like I found this moment.
TARS: How, Cooper?
Cooper: Love, TARS, love. It's just like Brand said. My connection with Murph, it is quantifiable. It's the key!
TARS: What are we here to do?
Cooper: Find how to tell her... The watch... The watch. That's it. We code the data into the movement of the second hand. TARS, translate the data into Morse and feed it to me.
TARS: Translating data to Morse. Cooper, what if she never came back for it?
Cooper: She will. She will.
Getty: [watching for Tom] Murph I can see his car! He's coming, Murph!
Murph: Okay. I'm coming down!
TARS: How do you know?
Cooper: Because I gave it to her.
Murph: [rushing downstairs with the watch] He came back! It was him! All this time, I didn't, I didn't know it was him! Dad's gonna save us!

Brand: Cooper, you can't ask TARS to do this for us.
Cooper: He's a robot. So you don't have to *ask* him to do anything.
Brand: Cooper, you asshole!
Cooper: Sorry, you broke up a little bit there.
TARS: It's what we intended, Dr. Brand. It's our only chance to save the people on Earth. If I can find a way to transmit the quantum data I'll find in there, they might still make it.

- Very graceful.
- No.
- But very efficient.
- What are you waiting for? Let's go!
- Go, go, go!
- Seven years per hour here.
- Let's make it count!

- He came back!
- It was him all the time!
- I didn't know. it was him!
- Dad's gonna save us.

- Do we have a fix on the beacon?
CASE: Got it!
- Can you maneuver?
- I'll need to shave some speed.
- I'm gonna spiral down on top of it.
- Everybody hang on!
CASE: Seven hundred.
- On my cue, CASE. On my cue.
CASE: Five hundred meters.

Cooper: Oh we are not prepared for this. We have the survival skills of a Boy Scout troop!
Brand: Well we got this far on our brains, further than any human in history.
Cooper: Well not far enough! And now we're stuck *here*, until there won't be anyone on Earth left to save!
Brand: I'm counting every minute, same as you, Cooper.

- getting interference.
- Losing control of the stick. I got flashes.
- Flashes of lightness and blackness.
- The turbulence in the gravity is increasing.
- Ah.
- The computers are going down. Agh.

- Lois?
Cooper: What happened to caution, CASE?
- Safety first, Cooper.
- Romilly? Romilly, do you read me?
- This is Brand.
- AMELIA: Romilly?
CASE: Dr. Brand. Cooper.
- There's been an explosion.
- Dr. Mann's compound.

Brand: Time is relative, okay? It can stretch and it can squeeze, but... it can't run backwards. Just can't. The only thing that can move across dimensions, like time, is gravity.

Cooper: It's not a ghost.
- It's gravity.
Donald: I'm dropping Tom, then heading to town.
- You want to clean that up when you've finished praying to it?

Brand: Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space.

Doyle: Where's the rest?
Brand: Towards the mountains!
Cooper: Those aren't mountains... they're waves.
Brand: Oh shit. Oh shit!
Cooper: That one's moving away from us...
Brand: [struggling through the water] We need the recorder!
Cooper: [he looks in the other direction and sees a mounting wave towering thousands of feet over them] Brand, Doyle, back to the Ranger, now!

- Okay. Taking control.
- Approaching module port, 500 meters.
- It's all you, Doyle.

- This little maneuver's gonna cost us 51 years!
- You don't sound so bad for pushing 120!

- Make him stay, Murph.
- Don't let me leave, Murph!
- Don't let me leave, Murph!
- No! No! No!

Cooper: You'd do this for us?
TARS: Before you get all teary, try to remember that as a robot, I have to do anything you say.
Cooper: Your cue light's broken.
TARS: I'm not joking. *Flashes cue light*

Young: Why did you and mom name me after something that's bad?
Cooper: Well, we didn't.
Young: Murphy's law?
Cooper: Murphy's law doesn't mean that something bad will happen. It means that whatever *can* happen, will happen. And that sounded just fine to us.

Cooper: Dr. Mann there's a 50/50 chance your gonna kill yourself.
Dr. Mann: Those are the best odds I've had in years.

- And, uh... so...
- I guess I'm letting you go.
- I don't know where you are, Dad... but I hope that you're at peace.
- Goodbye.

- Three... two... one. Mark.
- Ranger 2 engines, on my mark.
- Three, two, one...
- Mark.
- Fire!

- Grandpa will be home in a while.
- Tell him I'll call him on the radio.
- Aah!
- Jesus.
- What are you doing?
- Heh-heh.
- Oh, you think this is funny? Huh?
- You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me.
- Make yourself useful.

- Don't make me leave like this, Murph!
- Hey...
- I love you.
- Forever. You hear me?
- I love you forever, and I'm coming back.
- I'm coming back.

- Let's get out of here.
Cooper: All right, it's a doozy.
- All right, gang, let's mask up.
- Tom? Murph? Check?
Tom: Yeah.

Young: What are you gonna do with it?
Cooper: I'm going to give it something socially responsible to do. Like drive a combine.
Young: Can't we just let it go? It wasn't hurting anybody.
Cooper: This thing needs to learn how to adapt, Murph. Like the rest of us.

- Cooper, you should have control.
- Control here.
- Communication with ring module active.
- WOMAN: Oh, wow.
TARS: That's initiate.
Cooper: Are we ready to spin?
- Just a sec.

[SOFTLY] Hey, Murph?
- Murph!
- I think this is the end of the road.
- Didn't you bring the bolt cutters?
- That's my girl.

- What is this?
- What are you doing?
- I'm sorry! I can't let you leave with that ship.
- We're gonna need it to complete the mission... once the others realize what this place isn't.
- We cannot survive here. I'm sorry!
- I'm sorry!

- No long shot.
- Okay.
- So if we find a home... then what?
- That's the long shot.
- There's a Plan A and a Plan B.
- Did you notice anything strange about the launch chamber?

- Murph, Tom, you guys shut your windows?
- Murph?
Murph: The ghost.
- Grab your pillow.
- You're sleeping in with Tom.

CASE: This is fast for atmospheric entry.
- Should we use the thrusters to slow?
- No.
- I'm gonna use the Ranger's aerodynamics to save some fuel.
CASE: Air brake?
- We want to get down fast, don't we?
- We want to get there in one piece.
- Hang on.
CASE: Brand, Doyle, get ready.

CASE: There's no point using fuel to chase...
- Analyze the Endurance's spin.
- Cooper, what are you doing?
- Docking.
CASE: Endurance rotation is 67, 68 RPM.
- Okay, get ready to match our spin with the retro thrusters.
CASE: it's not possible.
Cooper: No... it's necessary.

- I'm sorry, I can't watch you go through this. I'm sorry.
- I thought I could, but I can't.
- I'm here. I'm here for you.
- Just listen to my voice, Cooper.
- I'm right here.
- You're not alone.

Dr. Brand: Do not go gentle into that good night; Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

- I almost got it. Don't stop. Don't stop!
- Dad!
- Tom!
- You told me to keep driving.
- Well, I guess that answers the old "if I asked you to drive off a cliff" scenario.
- We lost it.
- No, we didn't.

Cooper: We've always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we've just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we've barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, that our destiny lies above us.

- Newton's third law.
- You got to leave something behind.
- You told me we had enough resources for both of us.
Cooper: We agreed, Amelia...
- 90 percent.
- Don't.
- Detach.

- Cooper! Cooper!
- I'm here!

- AMELIA: Try not to breathe.
- We're coming. We're coming right now.
- CASE, come on! Come on!
- We got to go faster, CASE!
- Faster, faster, faster!
- Hang in there. Come on.
- I see him, I see him! CASE, bank!
- Bank right!

- Blew a tire is all.
- Murphy's Law.
- Shut up!
- Grab the spare, Tom.
- That is the spare.
Cooper: Get the patch kit!
- TOM: How am I supposed to patch it out here? COOPER: You got to figure it out.
- I'm not always gonna be here to help you.

- yes... the tiniest possibility of seeing Wolf again excites me.
- That doesn't mean I'm wrong.
- Honestly, Amelia... it might.
- TARS, chart a course for Dr. Mann's.

CASE: Endurance rotation is 67, 68 RPM.
Cooper: CASE, get ready to match our spin with the retro thrusters.
CASE: It's not possible.
Cooper: No. It's necessary.

- somebody would come and save me.
- You fucking coward.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Yes.

- the administration wants me to repeat Plant Pathology. Which sucks.
- But they said I could start
- Advanced Agriculture a year early.
- All right, I got to go, Dad.
- Hope you're safe up there.
Donald: Um, sorry, Coop.
- I asked Murph to say hi, but she's as stubborn as her old man.
- I'll try again next time.

- And that sounded just fine with us.
- Whoa!
- Get in.
- Get in, let's go.
- What about the flat tire?
- Yeah.

- Did Professor Brand tell you that poem before you left?
- Do you remember?
Mann: [PANTING] Do not go gentle into that good night
- Old age should burn and rave
- At close of day
- Rage, rage against the dying of the light

- Dr. Brand and Edmunds...
- Why are you whispering? They can't hear you.
- Dr. Brand and Edmunds. They close?
- I wouldn't know.
- Is that 90 percent "wouldn't know" or 10 percent "wouldn't know"?
- I also have a discretion setting, Cooper.
- Aah.
- But not a poker face, Slick.

Cooper: It's hard leaving everything... my kids, your father...
Brand: [cutting him off] We're gonna be spending a lot of time together...
Cooper: We should learn to talk.
Brand: And when not to. Just being honest.
Cooper: I don't think you need to be *that* honest.

[SOFTLY] It's okay.
- It's okay.
- It's okay.
- Pray you never learn... just how good it can be to see another face.

- Dash!
- Dash! Dash!
Mann: Murph!
- Murph, we don't have time for this!
- Come on!
[PANTING] Y.
- "Stay!"

Cooper: [to young Murph] Tell him Murph. Make him stay. Make... Make him stay Murph. Make him stay Murph! Don't let me leave, Murph! Don't, don't let me leave Murph! NO, NO, NO, NO!
Murph: It was you. You were my ghost.
TARS: Cooper... Cooper... Come in, Cooper.
Cooper: TARS?
TARS: Roger that.
Cooper: You survived!
TARS: Somewhere, in their fifth dimension, they... saved us.
Cooper: Who the hell is they? Why would they want to help us, huh?
TARS: I don't know, but they constructed this three-dimensional space inside of their five-dimensional reality to allow you to understand it.
Cooper: Well, it ain't working.
TARS: Yes it is! You've seen that time is represented here as a *physical* dimension! You've worked out that you *can* exert a force across space-time!
Cooper: Gravity. To send a message.
TARS: Affirmative.
Cooper: Gravity can cross the dimensions, including time.

- Get to the hatch!
- Go, go! Go!
- Shit.
- Manually overriding inside hatch!
- Cooper! Wait!
Cooper: The engines are flooded!
- I'm gonna have to shut her down.

Cooper: Give it to me.
TARS: There's good news, there's bad news.
- Yeah, I've heard that one, TARS.
- Give it to me straight.

- COMPUTER: Imperfect contact.
- Override.
- Hatch lockout.
- Is he locked on yet?
CASE: Imperfectly.
- Dr. Mann, do not...

- Stop it!
- No. No!
- Dr. Mann, there's a 50-50 chance you're gonna kill yourself!
- Those are the best odds I've had in years.

- No!
- You can't leave.
- You... No.
Murph: Dr. Brand, I'm sorry to tell you that your father died today. He had no pain.
- He was at peace.
- I'm very sorry for your loss.

Cooper: Hey TARS, what's your honesty parameter?
TARS: 90 percent.
Cooper: 90 percent?
TARS: Absolute honesty isn't always the most diplomatic nor the safest form of communication with emotional beings.
Cooper: Okay, 90 percent it is.
