Voltron: Defender of the Universe (TV Series)

Short Run of the Centipede Express (1984)

Neil Ross: Keith, Pidge

Quotes 

• Pidge : Zarkon's testing.

  Hunk : Well, if he wants a real test-target, let 'im test *me*.

• Princess Allura : *Part* of Voltron could slip through Zarkon's screen.

  Pidge : Hey, a king-sized idea!

  Hunk : It can't be king-sized; she's a princess.

• Keith : Hey, look, you can trust us. We're the Voltron Force.

  Haran : That's all the more reason, to turn you in. And I will.

  Lance : [gripping his shoulders to stop him]  What's your problem?

  Haran : [Coughs something out of his mouth]  You betrayed this planet.

  Lance : [tightens his grip]  You'd better explain that, mister.

  Haran : When Zarkon attacked you, we helped.

  Keith : He hit here and we tried to help *you*!

  Haran : No. You couldn't send Voltron; he was *elsewhere*. You watched Zarkon strike Moura, saw our cities destroyed, our homes wiped out. Yes, and all our people were thrown into slavery. I don't even know where my *family* is. Voltron could have helped us then, but he was *needed elsewhere*.

  [struggles not to cry] 

  Keith : My friend, Voltron was lightyears away, trying to defend...

  Haran : Excuses. We don't need your help now.

  Lance : [Gasps]  You can't free your people without help. You *know* that. Voltron's on standby.

  Keith : Be sensible; join forces.

  Haran : I count on myself. I now control the gun. GUARDS! THE SPIES!

  Lance : [both gasp then grab Haran]  You're a fool!

  Keith : Trust us!

  Lance : The gun will never free you!

  [turns to hear the guards approaching and with Ketih releases Haran] 

  Lance : Forget talking. If we don't get out of here, the ball-game's over.

  Keith : [they run and he stops by a pillar to turn around]  Don't count on yourself alone, or on Zarkon ever. Count on Voltron.

• Hunk : Me, I always like to tackle things head-on.

  Pidge : Your face shows it.

• [last lines] 

  Keith : Let this seal a friendship between your planet and ours.

  [clasps Haran's shoulders, he looks joyful] 

  Keith : We look forward to long and harmonious cooperation with the people of Planet Moura. And you can always count on our protection in the future - just as people who suffer injustice and oppression anywhere in the galaxies, can always count on Voltron, Defender of the Universe!
