Transformers: Dark of the Moon/Transcript

[We open in Cybertron many lightyears ago.]
Optimus Prime: (voiceover) We were once a peaceful race of intelligent mechanical beings. But then came the war, between the Autobots who fought for freedom, and the Decepticons who dreamt of tyranny. Over matched and outnumbered, our defeat was all but certain. 
[We then see a ship flying through the battlefield with five enemy ships chasing after it and attacking it.]
Optimus Prime: (voiceover) But in the wars’ final days, one Autobot ship escaped the battle. 
[A part of the ship moves to the back as a turret gunner.]
Optimus Prime: (voiceover) It was carrying a secret cargo, which would have changed our planet’s fate. 
[It takes out a few enemy ships.]
Optimus Prime: (voiceover) A desperate mission. Our final hope. 
[An enemy ship fires a missile that spews out several missiles. It hits the right wing of the ship.]
Optimus Prime: (voiceover) A hope, that vanished.
[Cut to 1961 on the planet Earth. Somewhere in New Mexico, there was a radio observatory in the middle of nowhere.]
Soldier: Move it there. Move it there, one more down there.
[Inside the Observatory, one of the workers got a signal.]
Analyst: Whatcha got?
[In space, the ship crash landed on the moon. Back on Earth...]
NASA Analyst: Impact detected. We have impact confirmed. Contacted.
[Cut to the director on the phone…]
NASA Analyst: (on the phone) 22:50 GMT. 
NASA Director: What? (to his secretary) Give me SEC-DEV on the phone right away. (his secretary left)
[The report is typed up in the Pentagon. Soon, McNamara arrives at the White House.]
President Aide: Mr. McNamara, the President is expecting you.
[He entered the office of President John F. Kennedy.]
President Kennedy: Get Bobby in here.
Mr. McNamara: Mr. President. Designation, top secret. We believe a UFO has crashed into the moon. We think the Russians are on to it as well.
President Kennedy: Well then you tell NASA to move heaven and earth. We need to get to the moon.
Mr. McNamara: We're going to attempt a manned mission. NASA said it would take five years.
President Kennedy: You get there before the Russians.
[Eight years later, the world is ready to witness the first launch into the Moon. After the news about the rocket heading to the moon was heard, the capsule with the astronauts in it landed on the moon and the crowd in mission control cheered for its success. Unaware that the astronauts have a top-secret file. On the moon, Neil Armstrong starts climbing down the ladder.]
Neil Armstrong: (in his suit) I'm at the foot of the ladder. I'm going to step on to land now.
[He gets off the ladder and lands his feet on the surface of the moon.]
Neil Armstrong: (in his suit) That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
[On Earth, in mission control…]
Black Ops Officer: Are we good?
Black Ops Technician: Yes, sir.
[The technician flicks a switch to listen in on the astronauts. However, there was static.]
NASA Officer: Eagle, we're getting a signal interference. Do you copy?
[Cut to Walter Cronkite reporting on the news on TV.]
Walter Cronkite: We now have had confirmation of loss of signal from Apollo 11. Apollo 11 is on the far side of the moon...
[At Mission Control, someone turns off a transmitter to the news station.]
Mission Control: Neil, you are dark on a rock. The mission is a "go". You have 21 minutes.
[As Neil and fellow astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, walk on the moon, they encounter the spaceship. They go over to investigate. When Neil checks below, part of the surface dissipates to reveal something surprising to them.]
Neil Armstrong: (in his suit) My god. 
[Back on Earth...]
Neil Armstrong: (in his suit; on com) It's some sort of giant metal face.
Black Ops Technician: Jesus.
[Buzz and Neil look around inside the ship.]
Buzz Aldrin: (in his suit) Control, we are inside the ship. Extensive damage.
Neil Armstrong: (in his suit) Way too big to check the entire ship.
Buzz Aldrin: (in his suit) Everything is dead in here, Houston. No signs of life anywhere.
Neil Armstrong: (in his suit) These things are massive.
[At Mission Control…]
Mission Control: We copy. You got seven minutes on your oxygen.
[On the astronauts…]
Mission Control: (on com) We are not alone after all, are we?
Buzz Aldrin: (in his suit) No, sir. We are not alone.
[Then, we hear President Nixon speaking as this historic event was documented.]
Announcer: All right, go ahead Mr. President.
President Nixon: (on speakers) Hello, Neil, Buzz. I'm talking to you by telephone from the oval room at the White House. And this certainly has to be the most historic telephone call ever made. I just can't tell you how proud we all are. For every American, this has to be the proudest day of our lives. Because of what you have done… 
[The astronauts returned to Earth, landing in the middle of the ocean on a raft.]
Announcer: We have splashdown. 
[Returning to civilization, the two are celebrated as national heroes.]
President Nixon: (on speakers) The heavens have become a part of man's world. For one priceless moment. In the whole history of man. All the people on this earth are truly one. Along with their pride in which you have done. You've inspired us to redouble our efforts, to bring peace and tranquility to Earth.
[Little do they know, back on the moon, through the ship, one lone robot is seen lying inside, powered down. As the camera zooms into its eye, it starts to turn on and glow. Main title forms up before fading to black. We open in Washington D.C in present day.]
President: (offscreen) Thank you, man. right job.
Leadfoot: The pillar's still connected!
Epps: Let's go! Bring it up!
Lennox: Let's go, let's go! Move, move! Pillar's still connected!
Roadbuster: Rip that pillar down!
[Leadfoot blasts the pillar then Bumblebee leaps at it, destroying it. This destroys the connection and causes the remains of Cybertron to implode. Back on Optimus and Megatron…]
Megatron: Now, we need a truce. All I want is to be back in charge. Besides... who would you be without me? Prime.
Optimus Prime: Time to find out. 
[He closes his faceplate and tears off Megatron's head. He then turns to Sentinel.]
Sentinel Prime: Optimus... All I've ever wanted... was the survival of our race. You must see why I had to betray you. 
Optimus Prime: (picks up Megatron's gun) You didn't betray me. (cocks the gun and points it at Sentinel) You betrayed yourself.
Sentinel Prime: (realizing what's about to happen) NO, OPTIMUS! 
[Optimus shoots Sentinel in the back, flipping him over then shoots him in the head, killing Sentinel. Optimus drops the gun in disgust.]
Carly: (offscreen) Sam!
[He sees something in the smoke. It was Carly as she runs over to Sam and kisses him.]
Carly: I love you.
Sam: I love you. You're the only thing I need in this world, and I'll do anything to make it up to you, I promise.
Carly: I'm going to hold you to that. Just never let me go.
Sam: I promise.
[Bumblebee drops some gears near the two humans.]
Carly: Ooo, rings.
[He hums the wedding theme.]
Carly: I love this car.
Sam: Bee, you've got to slow it down.
Carly: Hee hee.
Sam: You got to slow way down, okay?
Bumblebee: (via radio) Oh, I'm just trying to help out.
[The sun sets on the city of Chicago.]
Optimus Prime: (voiceover) In any war, there are calms between storms. 
[The Autobots stand victoriously.]
Ratchet: (to Bumblebee) You fought bravely.
Optimus Prime: (voiceover) There will be days when we lose faith. Days when our allies turn against us. But the day will never come that we forsake this planet and its people.
[Roll credits. As the credits roll, we see Simmons grab Mearing.]
Mearing: Whoaa- (chuckles) Mmm!
Simmons: That's what I call the start of a beautiful future. (laughs)
Mearing: (gets off Simmons and chuckles) Arrest him.
Simmons: Ha ha ha! It was worth it!
Mearing: Get him out of here!
Simmons: I'd go to jail for love! I don't care! Go ahead, take me in! I want to go in! Let's go in.
Dutch: Sir, sir-
Simmons: Come on, Charlotte, take me in right now!
[Cut back to the credits. Movie ends.]
