- King Zarkon: Sneaking around again. Eavesdropping on our conversation.
- Cmdr. Cossack: [bowing] No, Sire.
- King Zarkon: Don't contradict me, or I'll send you back to the toad-pond you crawled out of.
- King Zarkon: Now why don't you make yourself useful, and help Haggar get me some lazon.
- Cmdr. Cossack: [bowing] If you wish, Sire.
- King Zarkon: What do you mean "If" I wish? I just told you that's what I wish. Now go!
- Pidge: It's one of those slave-ships from Planet Doom!
- Hunk: You ever noticed how ugly those things are?
- Lance: Sure, they're number one in the Space Ugly Hit Parade.
- Pidge: [sarcastically] Gee, I thought they were kinda cute.
- Princess Allura: Yeah, cute like a rattlesnake.
- Keith: Rattlesnakes are nice compared to the guys who run *those* things.
- Keith: According to my sensors, those slave-ships landed on Planet Zaal. It's a desert planet, located in the Azure Quadrant. There hasn't been any life there for a millennium. Some of the early space-explorers claimed there was a race of people still living there, underneath the surface of the planet. But I'm sure that's just a legend.
- Joran: No one stops Zarkon.
- Omnia: We must. He destroyed my world once before. I won't let him do it again.
- Joran: [looks at her] What happened?
- Omnia: They used scorch-rays.
- [Joran gasps]
- Omnia: The attack was terrible. We had to run for our lives. It was Prince Lotor's first command. He was still only a boy, but he was already as ruthless as Zarkon himself. Some of us managed to escape, but I had to leave my family behind. We dedicated this city to them.
- Joran: [Starts to cry] It's all so unfair! I lost my family too.
- Princess Allura: We always thought the stories about this underground world were, just a legend.
- Lance: Which'd make her a dream.
- Haggar: When Zarkon hears there wasn't enough lazon... things are going to get ugly.
- Cmdr. Cossack: They always do when *you* show up.
