Ratchet: Do you hear that?

Clank: Yes, the auditory vibration seem to be emanating from.. opmh!

Skidd McMarx: Whoa! That was some sick hang time!

Ratchet: Where'd you learn to drive you blarg-headed thunder monkey? Skidd? Skidd McMarx?

Skidd McMarx: Ratchet? No way! Talk about a blast from the past! Dude, you gotta get in on this off-road racing action! The grand prize is a Refractor!

Clank: That is not possible. We are on a mission for the Galactic Presi..

Ratchet: Well, maybe just one quick race.

Clank: What about Dr. Nefarious?!

Ratchet: Trust me, I have a funny feeling we're gonna need that Refractor pretty soon.

(A separate file.)
Skidd McMarx: Dude, I totally would've won but my.. my hair got in my eyes and then I got a flat tire.. and my engine exploded! Well, it's better now. Anyway, like, here's your Refracamajig. Catch you dudes later!

(A separate file.)
Ratchet: The Phoenix is under attack!

Clank: Those appear to be tyhrranoid fighters.

Ratchet: Hang on!

(A separate file.)
Ratchet: (sighs) That's the last of them

Sasha Phyronix: It looks like we're all in your debt, Ratchet. You're quite a pilot.

Ratchet: Oh, it was nothing.

Sasha Phyronix: Okay, nevermind then.

Ratchet: Well.. I mean, not nothing! There were dozens of enemy fighters, uh, lasers flying everywhere! (gunfire noises) Quantum charges exploding! (explosion noises)

Sasha Phyronix: Yeah, I get the picture. Qwark has called another Q-Force meeting. Dock your ship and meet us in the VR room. Sasha out.

(A separate file.)
Sasha Phyronix: Sasha to dropship, base defenses have been neutralized. You are clear for an attack on the main gate.

Sasha Phyronix: Time to finish the job, Ratchet. Get moving! I'll stay here and cover the main entrance.

Al here! I've activated jump pads near your position. Boost yourself up there and stop that maniac!
The mapper device reveals secret areas. They're marked as green on your world map. Man, that thing is cool!
I took the liberty of installing an improved Hydro-Pack upgrade during Clank's last tune-up. Hold R1 to boost speed while swimming.
Hey, Clank! Try out that double jump upgrade I installed. Just press X in mid-air for an extra boost!
Al here! I'm itching to decode that data disk you found in the escape pod! I'll bet it's got all kinds of secret information on it.
Ratchet, our sensors indicate there is another area of the Daxx facility you haven't accessed yet. It might be important. Maybe you should investigate it.
I took the liberty of installing an improved Hydro-Pack upgrade during Clank's last tune-up. Hold R2 to boost speed while swimming.
Geez, you guys are real pros! The gun control center is on the top floor of this structure. You'll be able to fire the ion cannon from there!
Al here! there are two weak points in the Biobliterator's armor. They're located on the back of the robot!

Galactic Rangers[]

The 'noids are plastering us from the air, sir. You can take over my turret. I am getting out of here.
That should put a stop to those air strikes. Take this titanium bolt. You earned it.
Do not shoot, I surrender! All hail Dr. Nefarious. Wait, you are not a tyhrranoid. Heh, heh. I was just kidding around, Sarge.
That will teach those 'noids to mess with us. Here is a titanium bolt.
That is the presidential compound. The 'noids are trying to break in through the back door. We need you to hold them off with this turret while I get some reinforcements. Yeah, reinforcements... sucker!
Nice shooting, sir. Try using this bullhorn next time. I use it to order robots into battle from my secret hidey-hole.

Qwark[]

Qwark

Clank, that little monkey can climb pipes like you wouldn't believe! Shoot a banana across that gap and watch him go!
Greetings cadet, Captain Qwark here! I'll teach you everything you need to know about playing my vid-comics!
Check out my death-defying ledge kick move! Just push away from the wall and press X while I'm hanging from a ledge.
Press R1 to see me get down!
The way you play I'm in for a beating! You can heal me up by grabbing these med kits.
Keep an eye on your ammo. You can reload by grabbing these ammo packs!
Hey, what are you waiting for?! Just jump and grab the zip line already!
Hit square when I need to kick butt with these fists of death!
Press R1 or circle to fire my blaster. Hold down R2 and move the left analog stick for precision aiming.

That spider drone is programmed to follow the laser beam. Use the beam to guide the spider where you want it.
Nice job getting first prize, hotshot. Remember you can always come back later and compete for bolts.
Clank, you don't have a chance against that thing! Use the Gadgebots.
Ratchet, you're going to need a Refractor gadget to get the laser shield back online. It looks like there is a Refractor somewhere on planet Florana.
Ratchet, I need you back on the Phoenix immediately!
Incoming tyhrranoid dropships! Take 'em out before they land!
Why don't you drop by the Phoenix and play that Qwark vid-comic? It might trigger Qwark's memory and bring him back to his senses.
All missions completed on this planet. Return to your starfighter for an update.
Ratchet, the Phoenix is under attack! We need your help!
The dropship is getting ready to launch. You better hurry up or you'll miss it.
The rangers are waiting for you at the dropship. They'll transport you into battle.
Qwark is still waiting for you at the shuttle craft. You better hurry, you don't have much time left to catch that star cruiser.
Hi Ratchet, I just got Skidd's message. Looks like Nefarious has some major firepower guarding that second moon. You'll have to take out those defense satellites before you can land that hovership. Watch your back out there, all right? Sasha out.
I have a feeling we're still missing something, Ratchet. We need you to keep looking around the crash site.
Ratchet, we're detecting tyhrranoid guard posts ahead. It looks like you're going to need the Tyhrra-Guise again.
There's the ranger dropship. I've ordered the troopers to wait for you at the landing zone.
So far so good. Watch Skidd's back while he hacks into that security terminal up ahead.
Ratchet, you won't be able to reach Tyhrranosis in your starfighter. The air defenses are too deadly. The dropship can get you close enough to skydive onto your target.
Heads up, Ratchet. There's an attack ship closing in on you at twelve o'clock!
My scanners are showing unusually heavy security at the starport.
It's an ambush! Watch out for those sharpshooters!
Ratchet, get out of there! You've only got a few seconds before that ship blows itself to pieces!
Ratchet, the rangers report that Nefarious has deployed a new type of robot battle mech. Be careful out there.
Nefarious is probably somewhere in the upper levels of the city. You'll need to fly to reach him. My scanners show a hovership parked up ahead.
Ratchet, make sure that you search the crash site thoroughly before you leave. We need to know what Qwark was looking for before the Leviathan went down.
My scanners show someone has set up a race track near the wreck. It might be worth investigating when you get a chance.
Ratchet, I'm picking up a beacon. It looks like there is an escape pod somewhere forward and below your position.
That thing's armor is nearly impenetrable! I'm having Al analyze the schematics for a weakness. Try to hold on!
Ratchet, target your weapons on the red flashing sections of the mech! It's the only way to stop it!

Hmm, that hovership is protected by a quantum phase forcefield. Maybe you could use the Refractor to overload the forcefield circuitry.
Well? Have you played the final Qwark vid-comic yet? The suspense is killing me!
Looks like you're going to need a Warp Pad gadget to get past that forcefield. You can pick one up on Planet Aridia.
You can use that PDA to access the weapons vendor from anywhere. Just select the PDA in the items menu and press square! You'll have to pay a little extra for shipping and handling, of course!
Destroy the red security programs with your cannon before they reach the end of the tube! Blue programs are indestructible defenses. To bypass the lock, you need to collect all the green code pieces using your tractor beam!
Those blue programs can't be destroyed! Wait until they pass by, then move behind them.
Use your tractor beam to suck up green code pieces. Once you have enough, you can use them to bypass the lock!

Sasha Phyronix[]

Sasha Phyronix

Ratchet, you'll need to use the Tyhrra-Guise to get through that door. Good luck.
Ratchet, Qwark has called an urgent meeting. We need you back on the Phoenix right away!
Ratchet, you can play the Qwark vid-comic on the VG-9000 system in your quarters.
The rangers are ready for combat! Report to the dropship immediately!
Qwark must be secured in his cage before you can access the bridge.
This is the virtual reality training chamber. You must complete training courses here before you will be authorized to use some gadgets.
