Ender's Game Page #2
The Formics might have wiped us out
the last time, you know.
Mazer Rackham...
Mazer Rackham.
We need minds like yours, Ender.
Young people integrate complex
data more easily than adults.
Will the monitor be reinstalled?
No.
You're graduating.
To Battle School.
Privacy rights restored.
because of you,
us alone forever,
then I have to ask
you to come with me.
It's what I was born for, right?
Valentine was too compassionate
for Battle School.
because he was too
quick to violence.
Colonel Graff said I
need to find a balance
were to succeed.
Join the others.
Go on.
- You're late.
- Out of my control.
I'm Ender.
Ender?
What kind of name is that?
What's your name?
Name's Bean.
Bean?
Grew up on the streets.
Not worth a bean.
T-minus
10 seconds and counting.
T-minus five seconds and counting.
Four, three, two, one...
- Wow...
- Oh...
Oh, my gosh!
I'm gonna be...
A bag! Give him the bag!
Whoa!
Oh!
Are you serious, man?
Close the bag!
You all right?
Mmm.
What are you doin', Wiggin?
Nothing, sir.
Something funny?
I asked you a question, Launchie!
Sir, the way you're floating.
Horizontal.
I thought that was funny.
Really? Why?
Because in zero gravity
there is no right side up.
You may think you're vertical
and we may be horizontal.
Is that funny?
Sir, no, sir!
Yes, it is.
Alai, do you know what
he's talkin' about?
- Yes, sir.
- No, you don't.
There's only one kid on this launch
with any brains at all so far.
And that's Ender Wiggin.
All new arrivals
follow the yellow lights
to your accommodations.
The yellow lights.
Sir, you made them hate me.
I told them you were the best.
We need a Julius Caesar,
- a Napoleon.
- We hope that will be you.
Caesar was assassinated
by the people he trusted.
And Napoleon lost in the end.
Not before he conquered
the known world.
- Dismissed.
- Yes, sir.
He has a complicated
response to authority.
overbearing father figure,
but resents a lack of
reciprocated affection.
His isolation can never be broken.
He must never believe
anyone will help him.
Oh, look!
It's the smartass.
Thanks.
Thought I'd have to ask
to be by the door.
Speak your name.
Ender Wiggin.
Don't freeze your balls, kid.
Attention on deck!
At ease.
Listen up, Launchies!
My name is Sergeant James Dap.
Ask me a legitimate question
and I will give you a direct answer.
But if you are looking for
a shoulder to cry on,
use a pillow!
Do I look like I'm joking, snots?
Sir, no, sir!
