Quotes 

• Keith : Zarkon's staging one of his famous tournaments. And we're all invited - to be his final contestants on the program!

  Lance : And it'll be our final *appearance*, too.

  Hunk : Ooooh... just let me at him!

  Pidge : *I'm* in no hurry.

• Keith : Can you do it, Hunk?

  Hunk : [about to bend the window-bars]  Silly question.

• Hunk : Whoa! I can't look down!

  Pidge : [he clutches his shoulders]  Come on, Hunk.

  Hunk : OK. I just can't stand heights.

  Lance : Imagine a Space Explorer afraid of heights!

• Hunk : [being carried by one of the vultures from the tower-ledge]  Take it easy. We weren't trying to steal your bones. Honest.

• Hunk : [wrenches his eyes away from the skull-covered ground he landed on]  Quit looking at me!

  Pidge : [does the same]  Well, don't look at *me*!

  Keith : [the other three are deposited with yells]  I hate to think of what *this* place means.

  [clasps his hands in front of his face in prayer for a second] 

  Keith : Come on, team, let's get out of here fast.

  Hunk : Why'd those ugly birds drop us in here anyway? This place gives me the creeps. Let's move out.

  Keith : Vultures may not be very attractive, but they gave us a hand and we should be grateful.

  Sven : I'll always think they're beautiful.

• [last lines] 

  Pidge : We're not falling anymore!

  Keith : Something's pulling us down. And it's got us under control, on a smooth glide straight for Planet Arus.

  Sven : Look! Our power's coming from that statue of a lion!

  Pidge : Huh. A castle. I'll bet that's the legendary Castle of Lions.

  Lance : Must be!

  Hunk : Yeah! Isn't that where the secret of Voltron is hidden?

  Keith : Sure is, Hunk. And according to the legend, Voltron was the most powerful defender of justice in the Far Universe. He was invincible! Voltron was terrific. He put those evil robots out of business for good. But Zarkon had one last trick up his sleeve. He's got this witch, Haggar, and she disguised herself as a beautiful goddess, and went up into space. When Voltron came near her, she placed a curse on him. But she couldn't destroy him completely. The old witch broke Voltron into five parts. Each part, a robot lion. If we could find the secret of the lions, we could bring those lions out of their hidden dens, They'd all attach somehow, just like the legend says: two would make the legs, two the arms and body, and one lion would become the robot's head. Then we'd have Voltron, Defender of the Universe to help us. And to help the people of Arus fight the evil Zarkon. I don't know where we're gonna land, but if we could find our way back to that palace and locate Voltron, we've got it made. Planet Arus, here we come!
