Milo

  • [Milo's mother gives him her helmet and pushes the lever, giving him some air and allowing him to breath. He wakes up to see that his mother is dying without air] No. Mom, you need you helmet. No! [He struggles not to let mom pull the lever, but Milo's mother quickly pulls out the lever] No! Mom! Mom! [as Milo watches his mother dies, he holds her and he sobs] No, no. Mommy, you have to come home with me. You... you have to come home with me. You're... you're my mom... and I love you. [sheds a tear] No, no, no, no, no.

Mother

  • No broccoli, no TV.
  • No... [Dies]
  • No, That was before you lied to me and poisoned the cat!
  • I'm just so, so crossed with you! Do you have any idea what you put me through, Milo?! I ran higgledy-piggledy all over since you have lied to me and poisoned the cat! When you said that broccoli was poisonous, I said the broccoli wasn't poisonous! You told me you made your bed, but you lied to me and the bed of yours wasn't made! Then when you went upstairs to bed, I saw you jumping up the bed, plus you could have break your bed like some old figure! After all, I heard that you said your life would be so much if you didn't have me as a mom at all, and then, I GET CARRIED TO MARS!

Gribble

  • When you're going to shoot a laser at someone, you should bring them a change of underwear!

Dialogue

edit
Mom: Is that broccoli?
Milo: No, that's vomit. But I understand the confusion.
Mom: I thought I told you to eat that!
Milo: Well, you're not gonna make me eat it now, are you?
Mom: Go to bed.
Milo: But you said I can watch...
Mom: No. That was before you lied to me and poisoned the cat!
Milo: That broccoli was poisonous?
Mom: No! Of course, the broccoli wasn't poisonous!
Milo: Well, you just said that...
Mom: No, I meant that it's poisonous to the cat!
Milo: Well, how can it be good for me if it's poisonous to the cat?
Mom: Because cats are not supposed to eat vegetables!
Milo: Maybe I'm not supposed to eat vegetables!
Mom: Milo! Just go to bed. Now!

Mom: I thought I told you to go to bed!
Milo: You told me to "Go to bed". You didn't say "Get into bed". It's not specific.
Mom: Milo! My life would be so much better if I didn't have to be a nagging mom!
Milo: Yeah, well, my life would be so much better if I didn't have a mom at all!
[Mom reacts to Milo's words with shock! Then she, dejected and heartbroken, slowly tears up and leaves the room.]

Milo: [Milo and Gribble have landed in the huge trash area under the city and the male Martians, happy to see them are dancing around and hugging them] Let go! Let go! What are you doing?
Gribble: They're hugging. That's all these males ever do. That's why the females chuck 'em down here.

Milo: Dad!
Dad: Hi, stinker. Hi, honey.
Mom: Hi.
Dad: Did something happen to Milo this weekend?
