[Standing in front of a hologram of the plant from EVE’s camera] Haha! Look what I got, AUTO!
– Captain
Not possible.
– AUTO
[chuckles] That’s right, the plant. Oh, you want it? Come and get it, blinky.
– Captain

[EVE repeats “Directive” in multiple languages, ending with… ] Directive?

[WALL-E demonstrates his trash-compacting function]
Ta-dah!
– WALL.E
Ohhh…

Dirrrrr-ect-tivvve?

[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.
– AUTO
No wait a minute, Computer when was the message sent out to the Axiom?
– Captain
Message received in the year 2110.
– Ship’s Computer
That’s… That’s nearly 700 years ago! Auto, things have changed. We’ve gotta go back.
– Captain
Sir, orders are do not return to Earth.
– AUTO
But life is sustainable now. Look at this plant. Green and growing. It’s living proof he was wrong.
– Captain
Irrelevant, Captain.
– AUTO
What? It’s completely relevant.
– Captain
[moves toward the window]
Out there is our home. *HOME*, Auto. And it’s in trouble. I can’t just sit here and-and-do nothing.
– Captain
[moves back toward Auto]
That’s all I’ve ever done! That’s all anyone on this blasted ship has ever done. Nothing!
– Captain
On the Axiom, you will survive.
– AUTO
I don’t want to survive. I want to live.
– Captain
Must follow my directive.
– AUTO
[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*.
– Captain
[Auto advances toward him threateningly, causing the Captain to flinch]

This is called farming! You kids are gonna grow all kinds of plants! Vegetable plants, pizza plants.
– Captain
[laughs]
Oh, it’s good to be home!
– Captain

[M-O has finished cleaning a severely damaged WALL-E, who strains to give a handshake] WALL-E.

[M-O reverts to his box form]
[pause] M-O?
– WALL.E
M-O.
– MO
[another pause] M-O.

Bye, WALL-E.
