Quotes 

• AUTO : [Auto has just shown the Captain directive A-113, which is a message not to return to Earth due to rising toxicity levels making life unsustainable]  Now, the plant.

  Captain : No wait a minute, Computer when was the message sent out to the Axiom?

  Ship's Computer : Message received in the year 2110.

  Captain : That's... That's nearly 700 years ago! Auto, things have changed. We've gotta go back.

  AUTO : Sir, orders are do not return to Earth.

  Captain : But life is sustainable now. Look at this plant. Green and growing. It's living proof he was wrong.

  AUTO : Irrelevant, Captain.

  Captain : What? It's completely relevant.

  [moves toward the window] 

  Captain : Out there is our home. *HOME*, Auto. And it's in trouble. I can't just sit here and-and-do nothing.

  [moves back toward Auto] 

  Captain : That's all I've ever done! That's all anyone on this blasted ship has ever done. Nothing!

  AUTO : On the Axiom, you will survive.

  Captain : I don't want to survive. I want to live.

  AUTO : Must follow my directive.

  Captain : [groans in frustration, then turns around and notices that Auto is looming closer in the portraits of his predecessors. AUTO looms close behind him making him tighten his cap]  I'm the captain of the Axiom. We are going home *today*.

  [Auto advances toward him threateningly, causing the Captain to flinch] 

• Captain : [Standing in front of a hologram of the plant from EVE's camera]  Haha! Look what I got, AUTO!

  AUTO : Not possible.

  Captain : [chuckles]  That's right, the plant. Oh, you want it? Come and get it, blinky.

• Captain : Define "hoe-down".

  Ship's Computer : Hoe-down: A social gathering at which lively dancing would take place.

  Captain : [AUTO appears near the captain]  AUTO! Earth is amazing! These are called "farms". Humans would put seeds in the ground, pour water on them, and they grow food - like, pizza!

  AUTO : [shuts off information display]  Good night, Captain.

  Captain : Aww!

  [starts to move away from workstation, but stops and turns around slightly] 

  Captain : Psst - Computer, define "dancing".

  Ship's Computer : [WALL-E and EVE are seen outside a window in space, flying around]  Dancing: A series of movements involving two partners, where speed and rhythm match harmoniously with music.

  [camera cuts to outside the Axiom, and WALL-E and EVE continue to "dance"] 

• Captain : AUTO, you are relieved of duty!

  [strains up and switches AUTO to "manual"] 

  AUTO : Nooooooooo.

• [repeated line] 

  AUTO : Give me the plant.

• [repeated line, regarding the recovered plant] 

  AUTO : Not possible.
