Trunks: So much for your theory. You should know that a weapon doesn't make the man.
Trunks: I know exactly what I'm up against, Frieza, and let me tell you, I'm not worried.
Trunks: Maybe I haven't made myself clear yet. You're finished, Frieza
Trunks: I'm all that's left, I'm doing the best I can!
Trunks: Well look, I better be off My mom's worried sick about me.
Trunks: These androids are ruthless, they delight in causing pain and chaos. Living on
Earth in my time is like living in a nightmare. Always running and hiding and looking for a
way out.
Trunks: I agreed with my mother that I should travel back in time, but I had my own reasons for wanting to go. I had hoped that in the past, with Goku's help, I would find the androids had some weakness. That way I could go back to the future. And even though I still wouldn't be able to bring back all those already gone, I might be able to save the people who are left.
Trunks: Father, you're so tough and proud, hard and cold like a rock. But still, deep down,
your heart beats like mine does. I know you feel. I'm your son and I will always love you.
I'm glad I got to see you, Dad.
Trunks: Hey, why didn't you try to save them, Vegeta?! Vegeta: Who? Trunks: Who? Bulma and your son!! Vegeta: Oh, them. I have more important things to worry about than that foolish woman and
her blasted child! Trunks: ....
Trunks: I agreed with my mother that I should travel back in time, but I had my own reasons for wanting to go. I had hoped that in the past, with Goku's help, I would find the androids had some weakness. That way I could go back to the future. And even though I still wouldn't be able to bring back all those already gone, I might be able to save the people who are left.
Trunks: Uh, sorry about that. Anyway, I thought this whole plan would work out perfectly except that I didn't count on there being such major differences between the timelines of my world and this world. I thought Goku's heart problems would come much earlier than they did. And I only thought there would be two androids. But instead there's three. And now everything's going wrong!
Trunks: Nah, just some crazy plan for a gas-powered toaster oven.
Trunks:I can't find hope in the present,
but if i change the past can I find hope for the future?
Trunks: Oh, fool! Of course! That's why father stopped getting stronger. He, he could have, but he knew about its limits. And I just kept plowing forward. Like a stupid child. You can finish me if you want. I failed.
Cell: What shall I do with you? Such an interesting predicament. Both you and Vegeta have disappointed me. I expected more of a challenge from a pair of Super Saiyans. However, there is something I am curious about. I see you're very strong. How did you become so powerful? It's hard to believe that you could develop those fighting skills in such a short time. Tell me, how did you do it? What is the secret of your power? Trunks:.... Cell: Don't want to talk? Well let me ask you this. If you had more time, could you get stronger? Could you? Trunks: Maybe. What difference does it make now? And why would you even want to know? Cell: Oh, just curious, that's all. One more question. Where has Goku been, and where has he been hiding? Trunks: For your information, he's training to defeat you. And make no mistake, Cell. He will be the one who beats you. He'll take you, no contest!
Trunks: Wait, tell me. What is the real purpose of this tournament? What are you really going to do? Cell, I know what you androids are like. I'm sure this is some sort of trick. Just a trap to get us all in one place, right? Cell: Oh, must you always treat everything like it's the end of the world?
Trunks: Hey! This is our chance. If Goku eats a Senzu bean, he can get his strength back and take Cell down. Yamcha: That's right! Cell said he could! Trunks: C'mon, Krillin. Piccolo: We will wait. Trunks: Hmmm? We'll wait for what? He needs a Senzu bean! Vegeta: Quiet, boy!! Where is your honor? Like all pureblooded Saiyans, Kakarrot would rather die fighting than win with one of those disgraceful Senzu beans as his crutch. Kakarrot trained in the hyperbolic time chamber just as we did. Now let's see what he can do. Trunks: No, we can't! Goku doesn't have the strength! Don't you see what will happen if he keeps going like this? Vegeta: If this goes on, then he will die. But that will be his decision. It is painfully clear at this point that no one among us is stronger than Kakarrot is. Not even.... myself. So he deserves to have the fight of a true warrior. And that means to the death. Trunks: While we all just stand here and watch?! I won't be a part of it!
Vegeta: Aren't you the one who has never stopped talking about how great a hero Kakarrot is? If you have so much faith in him, then wait, and see what he will do.
Trunks: That means they can transform into a more powerful body when they fight. Vegeta: You're missing the point. It's not about powering up. The point is that they won't have to power up when they fight. They can use all the energy it would take to transform to increase their stamina and then only go higher if they need to. Darn, it's so ingenious. Trunks: How come I didn't see that? I wasted all my energy because I transformed too early into a higher power level. And that's the reason why I wasn't able to beat Cell. Why was I so stupid?
