Ratchet finds Clank[]
(Nonverbal and unnamed cutscene.)
You're quite handy with your wrench...[]
Clank: Interesting.
Ratchet: (yells)
Clank: You're quite handy with your wrench.
Ratchet: You bet! I built that ship with it.
Clank: Hmmm... currently, I am in search of someone who could be of assistance in saving the solar system. Do you know where I might find that fellow?
Ratchet: Well, he's on the radio every week. Other than that, no. Hey, what's with all this save the solar system stuff anyway?
Infobot - Drek's plan[]
Drek: Hello, citizens of-
On-screen (all caps): Novalis
Drek: My race, the blarg, have a small problem. Our planet has become so polluted, overpopulated, and poisonous, that we are no longer able to dwell here, but I, Chairman Drek, have a solution. We are constructing a pristine new world using the choices of planetary components available. So, what does this mean to you, you might ask? Using highly sophisticated technology, which you couldn't possibly understand, we will be extracting a large portion of your planet and adding it to our new one. Unfortunately, this change in mass will cause your planet to spin out of control and drift into the sun, where it will explode into a flaming ball of gas, but, of course, sacrifices must be made. Thank you for your cooperation.
Director: Cut!
Drek: And if you don't like it, you can take your whiny, sniveling, snot-nosed populations, form a line behind me, and kiss my- We're still on? Well turn it off, you idiot!
The people on those planets are hosed![]
Ratchet: The people on those planets are hosed! Well, good luck getting Captain Qwark to help you.
Clank: Actually, you could help me. If you could use your ship to take me to the coordinates contained in this infobot, I might be able to gather further information there.
Ratchet: Even if I wanted to, I can't! I'm missing a crucial component of the ship.
Clank: The Robotic Ignition System!
Ratchet: How did you know that?
Clank: I, sir, happen to be equipped with the latest in Robotic Ignition Systems. My programming allows me to start any ship I choose.
Ratchet: So, I agree to take you to this wherever it is, and you get my ship started for me?
Clank: That is what I'm proposing.
Ratchet: Deal!
This could be a problem[]
On-screen: Chairman Drek's flagship - Veldin Orbit.
Drek: This could be a problem. Take care of it.
Whoa! This is great![]
Ratchet: Whoa, this is great!
Ratchet: So that's where I've been stuck this whole time!
Clank: Please return your appendages to the steering mechanism, sir.
Ratchet: Huh? Oh right, heh, sorry. Oh, and by the way, you can stop calling me "sir". The name's Ratchet.
Clank: Pleased to make your acquaintance, sir.
Ratchet: You got a name?
Clank: My serial number is B54296-
Ratchet: Oops! I'll just call you Clank for short. Hang on!
I will not stand for this![]
On-screen: Back on Chairman Drek's flagship
Drek: So you see, it would be most beneficial if your citizens were not in the city when my workers begin removing it.
Mayor: Preposterous! I will not stand for this!
Drek: Unfortunately, you have no choice in the matter.
Mayor: Let's just see what Captain Qwark has to say about that, my good man!
Drek: (laughs)
Mayor: I don't see what's so funny. Captain Qwark could dispatch you without even breaking a sweat! You, you puny-
Drek: You have now officially worn out your welcome, and my patience!
Mayor: This is your last chance! Stop this madness now!
Drek: Okay, wait... you're right, I will withdraw my troops!
Mayor: Really?
Drek: No! He's all yours, gentlemen! Try not to leave any marks!
On-screen: Entering atmosphere of Planet Novalis
Novalis[]
Sorry about that.[]
Ratchet: Oooomph!
Ratchet: Uhm... Clank... where are you?
Clank: I'm right here.
Ratchet: Oh, sorry about that.

Clank: Sir, we're not assass-
Ratchet: Hold on, let's see what he's got.
Infobot - Ad for Al's Roboshack[]
Qwark: Has this ever happened to you?
Qwark: Hi, I'm Captain Qwark, and believe me, there's nothing worse than staring down a Blargian Snagglebeast — from the inside — and knowing your equipment isn't functioning properly! That's why I come to Al's Roboshack for all my electronic needs. Al has been the exclusive repair shop for my super electro gadgets since I was knee high to a sand mouse! If Al can't fix it, it's not broke, right Al?
Al: Er...
Qwark: You said it pal! So if you're fighting crime, or just fighting grime.. (chuckles) Come to Al's Roboshack in Metropolis for all your robotic repairs. Al's Roboshack, it's Qwarktastic!
Captain Qwark has really sold out.[]
Clank: Do you know what this means?
Ratchet: Yeah, Captain Qwark has really sold out.
Clank: No, it means Captain Qwark is on Metropolis! We could tell him about this invasion.
Ratchet: If we had a ship.
Mayor: Huh? Uh, a ship? You mean you're not gonna torture me? Well, as planetary chairman I could arrange for you to borrow our courier ship!

Helga: Ya, but it was weak, weak, weak! When I was competing I would devour courses like that for breakfast!
Ratchet: Bet that's not all.
Helga: If it were up to me, you would drill, drill, drill for the rest of the day! But somehow you managed to impress that fool Captain Qwark!
Clank: Captain Qwark knows about us?
Helga: He certainly does. And worst of all, he wants me to give you a prize for that ridiculous performance!
Ratchet: Cool, what is it?
Helga: I'm supposed to give you a Swingshot, so you can sway to and fro like little insects!

Clank: Version 7.66.

Clank: No, we must continue our search for Captain Qwark.
Ratchet: You're absolutely right.
Clank: I am?
Ratchet: Sure, we need to find Qwark. Although when we find him, wouldn't it be nice to tell him where Chairman Drek is?
Clank: I suppose.
Ratchet: Well, we go to the space station and talk to the scientists. They work for Drek, so they're bound to know where he is.
Clank: I am unsure about your logic.
Ratchet: Ah you think too much. Come on, let's go!

Qwark: You catch on quick. Although there is one problem with your hypothesis- I'm not going to kill you.
Ratchet: You're not?
Qwark: No. He is!
Clank: But, why?
Qwark: But, why? It's really not that difficult to decipher! I'm the official spokesman for Drek's new planet. I can't have you two getting in the way of my comeback!

Infobot - Orxon history[]
Drek (narrating): Hello once again fellow blarg, I hope this message finds you well! As many of you know, our home planet is no longer habitable. We've abandoned our factories, our laboratories, and our happy lives because of the encroaching pollution- leaving much behind. Fortunately, the nearby planets will supply us with all we need to create our new home, which is nearing completion! Once our scientists locate the ideal orbit, our new world will be perfect! So reserve your space now, prime locations are filling up fast. Good day!

Ratchet: I'm a pretty good shot!
Plumber: You? No, I'm gonna lose my job.

We have now found the perfect orbit for our planet, one which will allow for the optimum temperature, all year round! However, there is a planet now occupying that orbit, and sadly for its few insignificant inhabitants, it must be destroyed. That's why we've created this — the Planetbuster Maximus, a device capable of blowing an entire planet into sub-atomic particles! We're quite proud of it! Here's how it works. We attach the Planetbuster to this ship, fly it into orbit around the planet, and let it go! Kaboom! Heheh, quite ingenious really. Once our trained professionals put the finishing touches on our new planet, everything will be complete! Thank you! Goodbye!
