Cooper:
Okay. Now you need to tell me what your plan is to save the world.

Dr. Brand:
We're not meant to save the world. We're meant to leave it.

Cooper:
[looks up, sees space ships] Rangers.

Dr. Brand:
The last components of our one versatile ship in orbit, the Endurance. Our final expedition.

Cooper:
You sent people out there looking for a new home?

Dr. Brand:
The Lazarus missions.

Cooper:
That sounds cheerful.

Dr. Brand:
Lazarus came back from the dead.

Cooper:
Sure, but he had to die in the first place. There's not a planet in our solar system that can sustain life and the nearest star is over a thousand years away, I mean, that doesn't even qualify as futile. Where'd you send them?

Dr. Brand:
Cooper, I can't tell you any more, unless you agree to pilot this craft. You're the best pilot we ever had.

Cooper:
And I barely left the stratosphere.

Dr. Brand:
This team never left the simulator. We need a pilot, and this is the mission that you were trained for.

Cooper:
What, without even knowing it? An hour ago, you didn't even know I was alive and you were going anyway.

Dr. Brand:
We had no choice. But something sent you here. They chose you.

Cooper:
Well who's "they"?

[Dr. Brand does not answer]

Cooper:
How long would I be gone?

Dr. Brand:
Hard to know. Years.

Cooper:
I've got kids, professor.

Dr. Brand:
Get out there, and save them.
