Buck Rogers (1939)

Henry Brandon: Captain Laska

Quotes 

• Capt. Laska : Wait! We'll take them alive and force the secret of the Hidden City from them!

• Buck Rogers : We came here as envoys... seeking an alliance with you people of Saturn.

  Aldar : And why do you desire such an alliance?

  Buck Rogers : To escape the tyranny of a man called Killer Kane who has imposed his rule on all but a handful of us; a man who governs by brute force.

  Capt. Laska : That's not true. Leader Kane is just man. He rules with the consent of all save a few revolutionaries.

  Second Councilman : Revolutionaries.

  Aldar : Is it true that you are revolutionaries?

  Buck Rogers : Ah, in a sense I suppose we are. If it's revolutionary to protest against brutality.

  Saturnian Councilman : I have heard enough. Rebels or not, I say throw them all into prison. Seven months no contact with outside planets.

  Aldar : But in this age of science, we cannot hope to isolate ourselves from the rest of the universe. But we are dedicated to peace and have no patience for rebels.

• Capt. Laska : I'm going to the forum to force them to sign that treaty.

  Prince Tallen : You cannot bluff the men of Saturn into accepting your terms.

  Capt. Laska : It's not altogether a bluff, Prince Tallen. I shall tell them that you send word asking that they surrender to save your life.

  Prince Tallen : You cannot take them that message. It is not true!

  Capt. Laska : Part of it is true.

  [speaking to the guard] 

  Capt. Laska : If I'm not back within an hour, you know how to deal with our prisoner.
