Quotes 

• Colonel Wilma Deering : Mr. President, are you all right?

  Hieronymous Fox : Uh, before I answer that, whose side are you on?

  Colonel Wilma Deering : Yours. Colonel Deering from the Earth Defense Directorate. How did you get away from Zale?

  Hieronymous Fox : Nothing to it. I just did a quick impersonation of a sack of groceries.

  Colonel Wilma Deering : Well, I guess I'm a little late.

  Hieronymous Fox : Nope. You're just in time. Now, my bodyguard, Dia Cyrton, is here on Aldebaran. She and somebody named Buck Rogers are on their way to Zale's place right now.

  Colonel Wilma Deering : Buck?

  Hieronymous Fox : Yeah, and if we don't we don't get back there and help them, they're both gonna get wasted. You know what "wasted" means?

  Colonel Wilma Deering : Yes. I've heard the term.

• Hieronymous Fox : Maybe he slipped back under his rock.

  Koren : Shut up or so help me I'll kill you right here and now.

  Hieronymous Fox : [on Wilma]  I think she might have something to say about that.

  Koren : That one is almost as old as you are.

  Colonel Wilma Deering : [stuns him]  Old but true, Mr. Koren.

  Hieronymous Fox : Mighty nice shootin', Colonel.

• Colonel Wilma Deering : It's a tree.

  Dr. Theopolis : Not quite, Colonel. It's a Ficus decora, commonly known as a rubber plant.

  Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Yeah. Isn't it beautiful? I had to go to three hydroponics labs to find one.

  Twiki : [chirping]  Somebody wanna take this thing?

  Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Sorry, Twiki. There we are.

  [sets plant on the desk] 

  Dr. Elias Huer : Well, I'm extremely touched, Buck, but I don't think I'd know how to take proper care of such a thing.

  Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Oh, it's a snap, Doc. You just water it twice a week and feed it once a month. It'll grow on you.

  Dr. Elias Huer : That's just what I'm afraid of.

• Colonel Wilma Deering : [since cows are extinct...]  Where did you get the meat?

  Hieronymous Fox : [... mountain lizard in that chili everybody ate!]  You don't wanna know!
