Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Get to your shuttle, Princess. Crank up your engines.

Kane : Princess!
Princess Ardala : What is it, Kane?
Kane : This is agent Goneril, my spy at Directorate headquarters. Tell the Princess what you saw.
Goneril : A... a giant sphere appeared outside New Chicago, Your Highness. It contained a message in the form of a golden orb.
Princess Ardala : What message? From who?
Goneril : [looks uncertainly at Kane, who nods] I'm not a Code 5 technician, Your Highness, so I was not allowed inside the lab. But, uh, rumors - rumors say...
Princess Ardala : Say what? Spit it out, man!
Goneril : Rumors say that the orb contains a secret of utmost value to the Terrans.
[Princess Ardala looks at him askew]
Kane : [nods at Goneril] That will be all.
Princess Ardala : [to her assistants] All of you out!

Kane : Your Highness... The truce expressly forbids...

Princess Ardala : [re the golden orb] It looks like... Kane, what was that crude organic food?

Kane : Yes, you did.
