I chased you half across the universe, Mongul... Watched you laugh as you planned murder... Stopped you again and again... How stupid can you be if you think I'm letting you get away now! You're big, Mongul-- And very tough. But that's my second home up in the sky-- And I'm not letting it go the way of my first one! You might be even stronger than I am, Mongul-- But in my time on Earth I've learned that doesn't matter much. Not when you're fighting for something you believe in-- And, Mongul-- I am! You're death, Mongul-- Death incarnate-- And you can't have Earth! Not now... Not ever...
