• 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.

• Second Councilman : May I who first suggested surrender now withdraw my plea. Let us abide by our treaty with the people of the Hidden City and fight Killer Kane.

  Aldar : And you?

  Saturnian Councilman : I too cast my vote for war.

• Aldar : Colonel Rogers, the people of Saturn find themselves more deeply indebted to you than ever. Words alone cannot explain our gratitude. If you can suggest a concrete means by which we can prove it, you need only command us.

  Buck Rogers : I need no proof, sir, outside of your promise to support us in ridding the world of Killer Kane's outlaw army.

  Prince Tallen : You already have that promise and we shall not fail you.
