Twiki : Hi, guys.
Colonel Wilma Deering : What's the matter, Twiki? It's only 0300 hours.
Twiki : I'm bushed.
Dr. Theopolis : Now just a minute, Twiki. If you think you're going to retire for the evening without hearing from me, you are quite incorrect. Your behavior even since you set foot on this ship has been abominable.
[Twiki powers down]
Dr. Theopolis : Twiki? Twiki? Twiki? Twiki!

Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Miss Cosmos? A beauty pageant winner? I can't believe people still go in for that sort of thing.
Colonel Wilma Deering : Well, beauty contests are much more sophisticated than they used to be. It's what *inside* that counts.
Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Hmm.
Colonel Wilma Deering : Literally.
Dr. Elias Huer : Oh, yes, indeed. Genetically speaking, Miss Cosmos is closer than anyone to the perfect example of the female human in this quadrant.
Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : What do Miss Cosmos and the Lyran Queen have to do with your job?
Dr. Elias Huer : Oh, well... Someone tried to rob or kidnap her yesterday. A woman, actually, with extraordinary powers. We haven't as yet been able to establish a positive identification for the suspect, but we believe it to be one of a pair of notorious thieves which up to now has specialized in inanimate objects of great value, but... now has turned to...
Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Bodies.
Dr. Elias Huer : Bodies, exactly. And in this particular case, a body of staggering genetic value.
[Buck nods]
Dr. Elias Huer : Under the circumstances, the stellar authorities have asked for our help, because their agents are too well known.
Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : [sighs:] Huh! Would you like me to intercept that cruise ship and look after Miss Cosmos for you?
[smiles]
Dr. Elias Huer : [obviously going just as he and Wilma rehearsed] Well, that would be very good of you, Buck.
[Wilma smiles]
Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : And after all, the prospect of meeting the... *perfect* woman is fascinating.
Dr. Elias Huer : Yeah, I would think so.
Colonel Wilma Deering : Gmph...
Dr. Elias Huer : Well, you'll be in charge of general security, of course. You know, the mere fact that you're not one of us makes you less suspect.
Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Wilma, I'm gonna need your help.
Colonel Wilma Deering : How can I refuse?
Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Well, I warn you, I play a very mean game of shuffleboard.
Colonel Wilma Deering : Huh?
Dr. Elias Huer : Shuffleboard?
Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Well...
[sighs]
Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : another... tribal custom bites the dust.
