Actually, this line occurs in the original just after the bomb goes 
off, and was evidently meant to say something about setting off a 
bomb.

Not that it matters, but anyway, here is the original.

In A.D. 2101
War was beginning

Outside Ship - An explosion occurs.

Ship's Bridge
Captain: "What happen ?"
Mechanic: "Somebody set up us the bomb."

Captain: "It's you !!"

Close up of CATS
CATS: "How are you gentlemen !!"
CATS: "All your base are belong to us."
CATS: "You are on the way to destruction."
