- Optimus Prime: Perhaps the best way for you to learn about the human world is from a human.
- Arcee: Smokescreen gets his own partner?
- Ratchet: Oh, please! Isn't having three humans here enough?
- [the other Autobots stare at Ratchet]
- Ratchet: [scoffs] Uggh!
- Jack Darby: OK, intersection. Let's review. Light's green?
- Smokescreen: Green for go.
- Jack Darby: [light changes yellow] And yellow?
- Smokescreen: Go *faster*!
- [first lines]
- Smokescreen: Energon signal's gettin' stronger.About five klicks due north.
- [Bumblebee buzzes a message in a concerning tone]
- Smokescreen: What do you mean, "speed limit"? I have a gauge in here that goes to 150! If the humans who designed my vehicle form didn't want it to go that fast, they shouldn't've given me the option!
- Arcee: Optimus, with all due respect, Agent Fowler is out relocating Raf's family because the 'Cons discovered where he lives. Meanwhile, Smokescreen, in all his wisdom, chooses a vehicle mode with screaming double 38s on the doors, making him an easy target. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more than concerned about Jack's safety.
- Optimus Prime: Nonetheless, the fact remains that our new recruit is in need of instruction. I believe that Smokescreen's spark is in the right place, and that he now understands the necessity of protecting humanity.
