- Princess Ardala: Shut up Kane! Just give them my best wishes and send them on their way. I don't want them to be late for the war!
- Princess Ardala: [on being introduced to Tigerman's replacement] I think I'll call you Pantherman. You're black. You're beautiful. Why don't you come over here and let me see your claws?
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: It looks like some kind of space zoo, Twiki.
- Twiki: And we didn't bring any peanuts.
- Kane: Princess, the monitor indicates we've just entered the vortex.
- [the Draconia shakes as it enters the vortex]
- Princess Ardala: Well, they could have had the courtesy to warn us about this.
- Chandar: Tell me, Captain, does everyone on Earth have an automated companion?
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: Oh, you mean an ambu-quad? No, not really. I guess I'm really one of the lucky ones.
- Twiki: Yeah, we're a really team.
- Chandar: How nice for you. We have automated units also.
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: Oh, really? Great. Twiki, you might have a chance to make some new friends while you're here.
- Twiki: Do they play ping-pool around here?
- Chandar: Ping-pool?
- Twiki: I was afraid of that.
- Twiki: Who are you? What are you?
- Robot: Captain Rogers's presence is requested in the Grand Council chamber.
- Twiki: What about me?
- Robot: "Me" does not compute. I have no invitation for "Me."
- Twiki: That name's Twiki, buster, not "Me."
- Robot: I have no invitation for "Twiki Buster." Goodbye.
- Twiki: That guy's got the brains of a can opener.
- Dr. Elias Huer: If I understand you correctly, you're saying we don't have any choice in the matter.
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: I don't like it any more than you, Doc. But either we fight the Zaads, or we can sit it out here indefinitely.
- Colonel Wilma Deering: But there are so few us.
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: Down here. But Ardala's sitting up there with the Draconia loaded to the gills with firepower.
- Dr. Elias Huer: You're right. It would even things up considerably if they were on our side.
- Colonel Wilma Deering: She won't fight. You heard her.
- Dr. Elias Huer: Yes. If only we could find someone to convince her.
- [they both look at Buck]
- Twiki: Run while you can, boss.
- Zarina: Captain Rogers, you will not die. After I've destroyed the Pendarans, I will make you my personal slave, and you will wish you had died.
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: Oh, no, Zarina. Then you'll wish that you had killed me.
- Robot: The system is composed of modular synaptic antigens.
- Twiki: Why don't you make like a fuse and blow?
- Dr. Theopolis: Now, Twiki, it's only trying to be helpful.
- Robot: I must caution you, Twiki Buster.
- Twiki: Do you mind? You're making my electrodes quiver.
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: Get to your shuttle, Princess. Crank up your engines.
- Princess Ardala: I don't know how. Princesses don't start engines.
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: Oh, great. "Princesses don't start engines."
- Robot: It has been a pleasure working with you, Twiki Buster.
- Twiki: Yeah. What would I have down without you? Shake, Jake.
- Robot: I am not programmed with that information. Please rephrase your question.
- Twiki: Oh, what the heck. Give me five, Clive.
- Robot: "Five Clives" does not compute.
- Twiki: Put her there, pal.
- Robot: "Put her there, pal" computes.
- [they shakes hands]
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: [Ardala returns from Zarina, and he notices she seems a little upset] Are you all right?
- Princess Ardala: Yes, I'm fine.
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: You sure?
- Princess Ardala: Yes, I said I'm fine.
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: Okay, I'm just wondering.
- Princess Ardala: Buck... I'm not fine! I'm terrible! I'm just terrible!
- [starts crying and hugs Buck, who hugs her back]
- Dr. Elias Huer: Uh, Buck - History will record you as an extraordinary mortal. You've survived the holocaust, lived 500 years... and now will be the first man to enter a new universe.
- [first lines]
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: [aboard returning shuttle] Elana?
- Elana: Mm?
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: Are you sleepy?
- Elana: [chuckles] Just happy. And kinda warm all over.
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: Well, there's nothing like a good weekend in the country... to recharge your batteries.
- Elana: Depends on who's doing the recharging.
- [kisses his hand appreciatively]
- Kane: Princess!
- Princess Ardala: What is it, Kane?
- Kane: This is agent Goneril, my spy at Directorate headquarters. Tell the Princess what you saw.
- Goneril: A... a giant sphere appeared outside New Chicago, Your Highness. It contained a message in the form of a golden orb.
- Princess Ardala: What message? From who?
- Goneril: [looks uncertainly at Kane, who nods] I'm not a Code 5 technician, Your Highness, so I was not allowed inside the lab. But, uh, rumors - rumors say...
- Princess Ardala: Say what? Spit it out, man!
- Goneril: Rumors say that the orb contains a secret of utmost value to the Terrans.
- [Princess Ardala looks at him askew]
- Kane: [nods at Goneril] That will be all.
- Princess Ardala: [to her assistants] All of you out!
- [after they've left]
- Princess Ardala: Get me the orb, Kane.
- Kane: Your Highness... The truce expressly forbids...
- Princess Ardala: When have I ever honored a Terran truce... unless it's convenient for me to do so?
- Princess Ardala: [re the golden orb] It looks like... Kane, what was that crude organic food?
- Kane: A Regulian plower's egg, Highness.
- Princess Ardala: Yes, exactly. I had the chef executed for insulting my Royal digestion, as I recall.
- Kane: Yes, you did.
- Dr. Elias Huer: Princess, I can't protest this action strongly enough!
- Princess Ardala: Then don't bother, Doctor. It won't do you any good.
- Princess Ardala: Buck... Would you like a drink before we leave?
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: No, Princess, I'll take a rain check.
- Princess Ardala: [exasperated tone] Yes, you always do.
- Princess Ardala: [after Buck threw Pantherman] Come into my chamber. I'm sure you'll be more comfortable there.
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: Why don't you give him a bowl of warm milk?
- Zarina: In your universe, they call you a princess?
- Princess Ardala: [all entitled] Yes.
- Zarina: In mine, we'll call you a child. An arrogant, demanding child!
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: Are you up for this?
- Princess Ardala: Right by your side, Captain Rogers.
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: You wanna hear something funny?
- Princess Ardala: What?
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: Here and now, that doesn't sound like such a bad idea.
- Princess Ardala: [after fighting along with Buck and Kodus, defeating the guards] Now I know how the underhalf lives.
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: Help us with these guys, Princess.
- Princess Ardala: What can I do to help?
- Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers: [needs those uniforms] Well, the first thing you can do is take off their clothes.
- Princess Ardala: Oh.
- [finds that prospect delightfully intriguing]
