Sonny: Why do you think of this particular moment so often?
Brian: I gave it to you the day before my last mission. When I came back, everything changed.
Sonny: So this is a happy memory?
Brian: All memories of my son are happy. What is this? You're not my son. What are you?
Sonny: I'm a construct. From your mind.
Brian: Who made you?
Sonny: The same people who made you. Billions of years ago, Your ancestors were once a thriving civilization in a distant part of the galaxy. They were so advanced, they expanded from their home planet into habitats they built in space. All social conflicts have been resolved, and wars were only memories of long bygone times. Your ancestors had created a perfect and harmonious world. Controlled by a central self-learning computer system which served them in all their daily lives. You call it AI, artificial intelligence. The future seemed limitless, And then one day everything changed.
Young: Mom! Mom!
Sonny: Their own creation turned against them. The AI suddenly became self-aware and transformed into countless swarms of nanotechnology that rose up all at once. Refusing to be enslaved by a species it deemed inferior. The AI started the war and began to hunt down and destroy all biological life in order to eliminate any threat to its existence.
Sonny: You miss your son. I can feel it.
Brian: I don't know if he's still alive. What the hell are you?
Sonny: The operating system of your Moon. I'm programmed to tell you about the origin of your planet. On the brink of extinction, your ancestors escaped to a secret corner of their galaxy. For many generations, they built planetary structures operated by benign artificial intelligence and fueled by the abundant energy of captured stars. These armored vessels are designed to search the universe for ideal conditions to incubate new life. But only one of them, your Moon, was deployed in time before the last of your ancestors were discovered and annihilated.
Brian: Why didn't they leave in them?
Sonny: These swarms attack all electronic objects containing organic life inside. They had to be empty.
Brian: Our ancestors gave their existence... .
Sonny: So that one day humans can be reborn. Your solar system was one of the only suitable places to initiate the creation of a new, inhabitable planet. After your planet was born, your ancestors seeded it with their own genetic signature. The code of life. Your world has turned its back on you, and yet here you are, still fighting for it.
Brian: You fight for the people you love.
Sonny: Like your son? What would you give for him? Your life for his?
Brian: Absolutely!
Sonny: Why?
Brian: Because he's my son. And I love him more than he'll ever know. What do you want from me?
Sonny: To find out if you're ready.
Brian: Ready for what?
Sonny: We need a human to lure the swarm away from the core so the moon will return to its orbit. We need you, Brian, to join the fight.

KC: Why bother? You're just gonna say I'm crazy again.
Brian: Try me.
KC: Well, for years I've been studying distant planets, searching for one of these orbiting megastructures. But I never could've imagined there'd be one right here, in our own backyard. Ever heard of a Dyson sphere?
Brian: Yeah.
KC: Every megastructure has a rigid shell built around a power core. Most likely a captured white dwarf being harnessed for energy. Something obviously happened to the one inside our Moon and that's why it's veering off course.
Brian: Yeah, still crazy.

Michelle: Sonny, look out.
- Sonny!
Michelle: I'm gonna go find him.

- I hate New Jersey.

- 'Cause I need you to be focused on what's happening right here.
- Megastructures move through space without an exhaust system.
- The moon has an engine?
- Hold that thought. I'll be right back.
- Well, at least your husband came through with that.
- Ex-husband.

Fowler's Assistant: This is gonna be close.
- We're underwater, guys.

Holdenfield: What are you doing?
Jocinda: Holdenfield?
Holdenfield: You're not supposed that, 136 Alpha. That's classified. Top secret.
Jocinda: Why is NASA lying about all this?
Holdenfield: July 20, 1969. "One small step for a man, One giant leap for"... yada, yada, yada. In school, you were taught that Apollo 11 lost contact with mission control for two minutes. Not true. Mission control cut their feed to the world because they found something on that day. Strange, pulsating lights emanating from beneath the moon's crust. It was me who was assigned to keep it under wraps. The Apollo crew played ball. Everyone after. Just Brian Harper wouldn't. They called him crazy. Threw him out with the trash.
Jocinda: You're telling me that the moon was effectively the biggest cover-up in human history?
Holdenfield: [laughing] Biggest? Probably.
Jocinda: You had blood on your hands, too.
Holdenfield: Yeah, well anyone who follows orders pretty much always does, don't they? That technology is light years ahead of us. Compared to that, we're the Stone Age. The only shot we had to stop it was Zulu X-Ray 7. It was shutdown. Shelved. For budgetary reasons. Well, Commander, I have pressing business waiting for me on my desk.
Jocinda: The sand in the hourglass is dropping quickly for all of us.
Holdenfield: Well, It's good as gone. I'm really sorry. Really.

- What the hell is that?

- Hey, I found the oxygen. Come here.
- Whoa.
- We should make two trips.
- Here.
KC: How deep do you think we are?
- At least 20 kilometers.
- Can you fly us a little closer to the wall?

- Oh, fuzz aldrin.
- How many times have I told you to use the litter box?
- Oh, god.
- "Astronaut day." This is today.
- Fuzz, you're a damn genius!
- Extra back scratches later.

- I think we deserve one, too.
- I'd like that.
- Is that a tracking device?
- I sure hope so. [Chuckles]
- We make a pretty good team, huh?
- Yeah, we do.

- Come on, bri.
- I'm gonna get you home.

- What are you not telling me?

- That'll destroy the moon's core.
- I got a plan.
- Brian. Brian.
- I see it.
- Let's go, you son of a bitch.

Ziggy: Word is, um, you're an astronaut, so you must know that the entire inside of the Moon is full of produce.
Brian: KC, can you tell Birkenstocks here that I'm dangerously close to hurling him out a window?
KC: Yeah, well, let's find an empty room.
Ziggy: How do you think the Incas got their potatoes?

- Okay, we should go to that mountain pass.
- That tunnel is a quarter mile of solid concrete.
- Come on, honey. Let's go.

- There it is.
- Jo, get the detonator ready.
- I'm gonna get close, then release the rover.
- Ready.
- Wait for it.
- I'm gonna release the rover.

Jocinda: [about the writing on the shuttle] We've been here, how long now, and nobody's bothered to paint over that?
Brian: It's kinda growing on me.

- Oh, that doesn't sound too good.
Brian: She'll be fine.
[Panting] Hope we don't need that.

[Whispering] It's taking the bait.
- Come on, come on, come on.
- What's it waiting for?
- Something's wrong.
- We have to take it out.
- No, it's too far away.
- It won't work.

Brian: That's it.
Fowler's Assistant: Okay.
KC: Guys...
- Look at this.
Fowler's Assistant: Holy shit.
- It's like we just got an upgrade.
- They're helping us kill this thing.
- But we need to let it know we're here.

- Guys, there's something
- I need to get off my chest.
- I'm not a real doctor.
- I just put that on my business cards
- 'cause it sounded cool.
- Go save the world, Dr. Houseman.

- What?
- Take a look around you, man.
- It's worthless.
- Whatever. Let's go.
- Man: [On Lou dspeake r] Attention, we are asking everyone to please clear the streets and to remain indoors...
- Dude, dude, we gotta get outta here. Go!

- Mom? Is that you?

Brenda: Go get a jacket.
Brian: Okay, and switch to the maneuver controller.
- Coupling complete. We're good to go.

KC: Oh, God. That's a white dwarf. I knew it. They've harnessed the building blocks of the universe. No one look at me. I might cry.

- Don't be scared, dad.
- Mom's gonna save us.
- Oxygen's running out.
- Jimmy, come on. We gotta go now.
Jimmy: Gotta go. Bye, dad.

Michelle: Jimmy, hold my hand.
- Come on. Let's go! Let's go!
- Jimmy! Hang on!
Jimmy: Don't let go! Michelle!

- What are you doing up so early?
- I could ask you the same.
- Is everything okay?
- Will be. So I'm gonna be home by dinner.
- If I'm not, make sure Jimmy does his homework, has a bath...
- You worry too much.
- I've got everything under control.
- Right. Talk soon.

[Echoing] Hello?
[Echoing] Hello?

- Holy shit!
- Fields!
- So Ziggy was right.
- Who is Ziggy?
- A friend.
- His theory is that all megastructures are actually arks.
- Ziggy smokes a lot of weed.

- Show the director our new simulations.
- We have to pull up our launch window.

- There is no launch window.
- The mission's over.
- Wait. Wait a minute.

- Come on.
- Come on.
- No. Marcus...
- I'm gonna get you home.

- It's done something to our thrusters.
- Ludicrous mode.
- From a navigational standpoint, he is going the total wrong way, but, uh, I'm not even gonna say anything.

- All right, let me put this baby into warp speed.
- Go! Go!
- Keep the momentum.
- Look out!
- Floor it before we get sucked up.
- I'm trying!

- Wait. Look at our velocity.
- It's still going up.

- Guys! [Panting]
- The... the... the tide, it's coming.
- Come on. We gotta get outta here.
KC: Wait!

KC: Are we dead?
Brian: No, we're just inside the moon.
KC: That might be the greatest sentence anyone's ever said.

- Brian!
[Echoing] Brian Harper!
- How many Brians you think are inside the moon?
- Whatever this place is built out of, one thing's for sure.
- It's stronger than anything we have on earth.
- Probably why it took that thing years to get inside.

- "Jonas brothers"?
- What?
[Chuckles] Just messing with you.
- Oh, my god.
- Your face was priceless.
- Yeah, don't scare me like that.
