Vaako Quotes in The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)

Vaako: This is your one chance. Take the Lord Marshals' offer and bow.

Richard B. Riddick: I bow to no man.

Vaako: [take off his helmet] He is not a man. He's the holy Half-Dead who has seen the UnderVerse.

Richard B. Riddick: Look, I'm not with everyone here. But I will take a piece of him.

[points to Irgun]

Vaako: A piece you will have.

Vaako: First and always, I am a Necromonger commander. So if you're here to test my loyalty, you succeed only in testing my patience.

Dame Vaako: Never fails to inspire does it? Each time a dynasty falls.

Vaako: Remember your place Dame Vaako.

Dame Vaako: My place is at your side dear husband. From here till underverse come.

Vaako: Obedience without question. Loyalty until Underverse come.

Riddick: They say you lost your nerve, Vaako, after that big swing and a miss.

Vaako: Is that what they say?

Riddick: Now what are you gonna do to get that cred back? What's the big play? Something splashy.

Vaako: Actually, I had in mind something different. I've been thinking about an early campaign. My first. I was but a boy. We dropped Necromongers from the sky and did what Necromongers do. Destruction was breathtaking. But then we met resistance. Ferocious like a storm of lions. Each one of them killed over a hundred Necro before their weapons failed. And then they killed another 30 more. Barehanded. Our firepower and strength in numbers eventually won us the day. I can still see him, the last of those magnificent warriors, standing on a pile of his own. And he looked at me. And I will never forget those eyes. His eyes were just like yours. The planet was Furya.

Riddick: I know what it's called.

Vaako: You just don't know where it is.

Riddick: I need charts. I need maps.

Vaako: Impossible.

Riddick: I need a direction.

Vaako: Purged from all records, as you well know.

Riddick: But you remember where.

Vaako: So many worlds... The only map left in existence is the one that's in my head, Riddick.

Riddick: So what do you want? The crown?

Vaako: Transcendence.
