WALL-E Duty Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from WALL-E.

Quote #1

[When WALL-E tries to shield EVE from the sandstorm she pulls her gun him.]

EVE isn't exactly warm and cuddly. If she had a knowledge of reality television, she'd be the type to say, "I'm not here to make friends," because she's not on Earth to make friends; she's programmed to find plant life.

Quote #2

[EVE scans the plant and shuts down, a green light blinking on her chest.]

Here we realize that EVE's duty is to safeguard the plant. She puts it inside her body and shuts down. We doubt anything could get inside her impenetrable shell—hmm, that's a handy metaphor for her emotions, too. Duty first, love second.

Quote #3

COMPUTER: Captain, you are needed on the bridge.

The word "needed" isn't quite right, here. The Captain isn't "needed" to anything. He's a figurehead, although much more plump and less beautiful than the figureheads we're used to.
