Scarlett: Valerian, don't you realize that any of us could be next? Val: And that sounds like a you problem! Scar: What? Are you serious?

Val: Look, I'm not supposed to be here. With Solara gone, I just have to worry about beating Thursday and Hedy, in the next fight. HANSEL says I have a 65% of winning with the current odds. That's not good enough. I need to focus. I don't have time for your righteous crusade.

Scarlett: But... Don't you have anyone you care about Valerian?

Valerian: No. Not anymore.

Dani: Wow, that's so sad. Still not cool Valerian.

Scarlett: You have to believe me Valerian. Something bad is happening upstairs. And I think they did something to Test.

Scarlett: There's even less of him I recognize than usual. He's always so angry.

Scarlett: And at night something takes over him. Something, wrong. Hedy found him last night. Wandering around Sub Level 2.
