Quotes 

• Major Marla Landers : [Indicating the blue skin woman Buck is looking at]  That's somebody from Klosef 3. Not your type.

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : We'll see about that.

  [prepares to go charm the pants off] 

  Major Marla Landers : I don't think you'll like him.

  [walks off] 

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Him?

• Major Marla Landers : Couldn't you get anything out of that man who was following you?

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Yeah, I know exactly where they're holding Falina.

  Major Marla Landers : Well, that's good news.

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : I also found out it's almost impossible to get there without one of four existing keys. I was going to lift one off Sanitation Module Seven, but it doesn't make its rounds until after midnight; and if Morphus is here now, we might as well start packing.

  Major Marla Landers : Buck, who else has a key?

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : A couple of Velosi's goons.

  Major Marla Landers : And Velosi?

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Naturally. I can't believe we've come this far and have everything go down the tubes...

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : [seeing a confident beam in Marla's eyes]  Everything's *not* going down the tubes?

  Major Marla Landers : In about five minutes, we may very well have ourselves that key. Turn around.

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Why?

  [Marla starts to take off her dress, then shoots Buck a displeased look] 

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : [realizes what Marla means and turns around]  Oh!

• Tangie : Why, Buck Rogers, what are you and that lady up to?

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Later, Tangie.

  Tangie : Looks to me like it's something very dishonest.

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : I don't have time, Tangie.

  Tangie : If you don't help me find my way out of this city, security's gonna get a call from me.

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Next time I'm in town.

  Tangie : YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT, BUCK!

  Major Marla Landers : [pointing her gun at Tangie]  Maybe you'll feel better after a nap.

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Oh, now, wait a minute. Hold it. Look, I'm not gonna be needing this, so here.

  [hands Tangie his gun] 

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Use this to get out if the city and take this with you. You're gonna go with us. Oh, uh, Marla, Tangie. Tangie, Marla.

  Tangie : Nice to meet you.

• Major Marla Landers : Oh. Excuse me, Dr. Huer. I was told you wanted to see me.

  Dr. Elias Huer : You were told correctly. Come in.

  [Landers walks in] 

  Dr. Elias Huer : This, uh, gentleman... has just made the Defense Directorate a very interesting proposition. Major Landers, Amos Armat.

  Major Marla Landers : Alleged businessman. Moon base construction, I think, isn't it? Of course, your *real* expertise lies in extortion, smuggling illegal weaponry to warring colonies. And, of course, slave trafficking.

  Dr. Elias Huer : That's very true. Mr. Armat's covert activities have perplexed the interplanetary authorities for years. But, as yet we've been unable to prove anything.

  Amos Armat : And rest assured, you never will, unless I turn myself and all my records over to you. Which I am prepared to do.

  Major Marla Landers : Why?

  Amos Armat : An employee in my company, Falina Redding, has been kidnapped. She's totally innocent of wrongdoing. She's a digital programmer. A good one, I'm told. Except last week, by mistake, she saw a readout containing a numerical code, which, if obtained and deciphered by one of my competitors, would ruin three-fourths of my operations. Falina had no idea what she'd seen. She reported the error, which is standard procedure, and kept right on working.

  Major Marla Landers : One of your competitors heard about it and kidnapped her... so that eventually he could get the information out of her head.

  Amos Armat : I tried to warn her, but it was too late.

  Major Marla Landers : Which competitor? Do you know?

  Amos Armat : Velosi. He's had her taken to Sinaloa. My people can't touch her there, but you people can.

  Major Marla Landers : And you'll turn yourself in if we get her back for you?

  Amos Armat : Yes.

  Dr. Elias Huer : I'm afraid the answer is no, Mr. Armat. Velosi will use whatever information he gets from Falina to cripple your operation. And that event is rather appealing to me.

  Amos Armat : But don't you see? He'll get what he wants and then kill her!

  Dr. Elias Huer : I find it rather hard to believe that a single murder even registers on your consciousness. Tempting as the prospect may be of personally removing you from this planet forever, the answer is still no, because I'll not risk any of my people to save the lives of one of your *innocent* employees.

  [Armat turns to leave] 

  Major Marla Landers : Dr. Huer, don't you think that a man of Mr. Armat's connections, someone with easy access to all sorts of information about illegal weaponry, probably he would have a good deal to tell us about the Hatchet fighters?

  [Armat turns and stares at Landers] 

  Dr. Elias Huer : The Draconians are using them to ambush Earth's squadrons. If we were to get Falina back, Mr. Armat, not only would you turn yourself in, but you'd also find out why the Hatchet fighter is in previous to our computer control systems, wouldn't you?

  Amos Armat : [looks at Landers and then back at Huer]  It's a deal.
