Kantos Kan Quotes in John Carter (2012)

Tardos Mors: Dejah, ever since you were a little girl, you've always met the expectations placed on you. It's Sab's terms.

Dejah Thoris: What are they?

Tardos Mors: He will spare Helium, if you accept his hand in marriage.

Dejah Thoris: No! He is a monster! You must refuse him!

Tardos Mors: He's already on his way here.

Dejah Thoris: But all of my work! I just need a little more time!

Tardos Mors: Dejah.

Dejah Thoris: How can you...? You can't just bow down to Zodanga!

Tardos Mors: A wedding will save the city!

Dejah Thoris: Perhaps! But it could lose you Barsoom!

Tardos Mors: Dejah!

Dejah Thoris: With no one to stop Zodanga it will be the beginning of the end!

Tardos Mors: We do not... we do not have the luxury.

Dejah Thoris: [shouting] You are the Jeddak of Helium! You must find another way!

Tardos Mors: [shouting] There is no other way!

[Dejah looks away from Tardos]

Tardos Mors: If there were, I would risk anything to cease it. This is the chance we have been given. Perhaps it is the will of the Goddess.

Dejah Thoris: No. It is your will. When I was little and we would look up at the stars, and you would tell me of the heroes whose glory was written in the sky. How there was a star up there for me. Is this what you imagined would be written on it?

Tardos Mors: [before Tardos answers her Kantos enters with his men]

Kantos Kan: My Jeddak, Sab Than's Corsair approaches the city. They signal for permission to land.

Tardos Mors: Grant it.

[Dejah turns away from Tardos in disappointment and sadness]

Tardos Mors: And let us prepare ourselves for a wedding.

Kantos Kan: Ah, Zodanga, where the men are as limited as the menu and woman are as hard as the beds.

Kantos Kan: My name is Kantos Kan. I serve Princess Dejah.

John Carter: Dejah?

Kantos Kan: Uh-huh. From what she tells me, you can get us over... there.

[he points to Sab Than's palace]

John Carter: She said I could make that?

Kantos Kan: We could always surrender. Is that what you do on Jarsoom?

[John grabs a hold of Kantos and leaps into the air far enough to grab the palace's stone ledge and tumble into Dejah's bridal suite]
