- [the Decepticons make it back to their base]
- Rumble: Well, at least we all got away with our hulls in one piece.
- Megatron: And as for the girl and the falling Sky Platform... well, that's Powerglide's problem.
- [Soundwave notices that the Sky Platform is falling onto the Decepticons' headquarters]
- Soundwave: Correction: problem is ours.
- Megatron: Energize the force fields!
- Soundwave: What force fields?
- [the Sky Platform crashes on the headquarters, causing great damage. Seawater rush through the cracks into the base]
- Megatron: Attention, Decepticons! This is Megatron speaking! Your new orders are... er... clean up this mess!
- Powerglide: What in the heck? Autobot Headquarters, this is Powerglide! The Decepticons are attacking Hybrid Technologies Corporation! They must be after some secret plans, or maybe some new fuel they've invented, or maybe they're gonna kidnap all the company's top scientists, or... huh? They're after a girl! It's hero time!
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: Wow. That was intense. Who... are you?
- Powerglide: Powerglide's the name.
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: Well, whoever you are, I think you're completely the greatest.
- Megatron: You failed to capture the girl?
- Thrust: We had not counted on Powerglide's interference.
- Megatron: You are supposed to be the most powerful jets in the galaxy, and you were beaten by a pipsqueak Autobot plane?
- Ramjet: Please, let us try to find her again.
- Megatron: You will not TRY to get her, you WILL get her, or I'll have you all melted down for scrap!
- Powerglide: Astoria, we've got to get you outta here! It's dangerous!
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: What are you talking about? We're on a merry-go-round, for cryin' out loud!
- Powerglide: You're a real pain in the afterburners, you know that?
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: You know, you don't have to be Mr. Macho all the time, okay? Just let me help! You're like a big baby sometimes. I mean, like, I care about you. You saved my life. Of course, you wouldn't feel anything like that about me. Course not. You're a robot. You're above all those kinds of things.
- Powerglide: Well, maybe I kinda sort of possibly feel that I think you're...
- Powerglide: Astoria! What did you smash the antenna for? Do you wanna get yourself killed?
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: I did it to save you, you dumb... oh, yell at me, I don't care! As long as you're safe!
- [hugs Powerglide]
- Powerglide: [embarassed] Oh, can the mush.
- [last lines]
- Sparkplug Witwicky: Who would've believed it? Powerglide shot down by Cupid!
- [Ironhide and Ratchet guffaw]
- Powerglide: All right, which one o' you wants to be the first to get his circuits punched out?
- [Powerglide enters Sparkplug's garage, and once alone, open his chest cover to reveal circuitry flickering in the shape of a heart]
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: I know you're all totally grossed out to be here, but it's my birthday, so I'm going to have a party! Why aren't you geezers having a good time? Oooh, why can't you guys just lighten up and enjoy yourselves? Ohh, I can't stand it. This place is like a prison! I hate it! I want some excitement!
- Spike Witwicky: So, you had a run-in with the Decepti-creeps, huh?
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: Yeah.
- Spike Witwicky: Too bad I wasn't there. I'm always ready to rescue a girl as pretty as you.
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: What do you know about Powerglide?
- Spike Witwicky: Ah, he's okay. Kind of a blowhard, if you know what I mean.
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: I think he's wonderful.
- Spike Witwicky: You do?
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: Oh, wow. He's tall, he's handsome, he's shiny, and he can fly!
- Spike Witwicky: Yeah, well, there's a few things he can't do, you know.
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: You got any burgers in this joint?
- Soundwave: Silence!
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: You guys are, like, the worst hosts!
- Megatron: Tell me what you know and you will be released.
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: I don't even know what you're talkin' about.
- Megatron: Before your father died, he gave you Hy-Tech's energy formula.
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: If you say so.
- Megatron: I do, and I want it! Now!
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: Hey! Like, don't be so hostile, okay?
- Megatron: Tell me what you know!
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: All I know is that you're a complete and total, utter...
- Megatron: SILENCE!
- Megatron: The psycho-probe will put 90,000 volts through your brain. It is an excruciating experience. Will you tell me what you know?
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: All this waiting around, that's what's excruciating. I mean, I'm starving, for cryin' out loud! When are you guys gonna feed me? That's what I wanna know. Your dumb machine, like, doesn't even work, and...
- Megatron: Enough!
- Powerglide: So what were the Decepticons after, anyway?
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: Oh, just that necklace my father gave me.
- Powerglide: You never make any sense, you know that?
- Astoria Carton-Ritz: Well... sorry, Dad, but I've got to chuck the formula in order to save him.
- [removes the necklace and uses it to sabotage the Decepticons' machinery]
