Tim O'Connor: Dr. Elias Huer

Quotes 

• Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : [Talking about his apartment]  Oh, now, come on. Come on. Drop that 25th century mind-over-emotion stuff. Deep down inside, you really like this place, don't you? Huh?

  Colonel Wilma Deering , Dr. Elias Huer : [Long look around]  No.

• Dr. Elias Huer : How do you do, Captain Rogers? My name's Dr. Huer. I'm very pleased to meet you.

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Just what's going on? Where am I and what are you doing to me?

  Dr. Elias Huer : Well, we're studying you. It's all electronic and painless. But so far we're as boggled as you are by what's happened. But your testing is producing the most phenomenal data.

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Terrific. Well, what is happening? If I'm dead, I obviously didn't make it to heaven. So, just what planet is this?

  Dr. Elias Huer : What planet? Oh, it's Earth, of course. You returned as your mission required to almost the precise landing area originally programed into your ship.

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Uh-huh. Uh, look, Doc. Now, I've been through a lot. But there is no way you can tell me that that city out there is anything like Chicago.

  Dr. Elias Huer : No, it isn't. There's nothing like Chicago left on Earth.
