• Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Tell me. That necklace, does it serve any other function aside from symbolic?

  Princess Ardala : Well, let's say it's a gentle reminder of the eternal devotion you spoke of. If you do anything that displeases me, an electronic signal will cause the band to shrink, tighten, constrict to half its diameter around your neck.

  Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Well, let's see, I wear a 16 collar. That would make it about an eight, wouldn't it?

  Dr. Theopolis : Buck, you realize, had it not been a question of hundreds of thousands of lives, we would never have betrayed you like we did.

  Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Now, look, I invited you all here to show you there are no hard feelings. The pyramid is gone. Ardala and Kane are gone. I'm here, and I'm single. And I'm gonna introduce you all to some good, old-fashioned split-pea soup. Well, it's not really peas, it's a soybean derivative, but it's the same principle. Now, who'd like the first taste?

  [Dr. Huer and Wilma look at Twiki] 

  Dr. Elias Huer : No, I - I don't don't think that would work. What do you think, Doctor?

  Princess Ardala : And your orders are to obey my wishes!

  Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : You're looking...

  [smiles]
