- Narrator: On the little planet of Sythio, a mistake is being corrected. These are androids - creatures without minds, without souls, indestructible, the servants of people betrayed by their own creation.
- King Lazarene: Gentlemen, what I'm about to do is for all mankind. As you know, this is the central power source for all androids. The men and women of our worlds have grown useless, stagnant, without ambition. Possessed of servants that need no food or rest, human beings do not struggle, progress ceases as the sense of accomplishment dies. Without this sense of fulfillment, human beings are no better than these things they have created. Therefore, the representatives of all the planets have all taken the vow never to reveal the three secrets of the use of androids - the location of the vaults throughout the universe, the frequency readings to which the androids are attuned and, most important, the location of this, the central power source. Gentlemen, the future of humanity depends on our keeping that vow.
- Lazarene's Assistant: Someone has learned the secrets!
- King Lazarene: Only two. They did not learn the location of the power source. Without that knowledge, all other is useless. No one need know of this.
- Tridorn: You know what the force of gravity can mean. Every time you blast off in a rocket you experience 9 G's. How would you like to experience 15, 16, perhaps 20? Do you think you can survive?
- Tridorn: You'll pay for that Gordon! The location of the power source or the girl dies.
- Dale Arden: Don't talk, Flash!

- Flash Gordon: We'd better get back to the Skyflash and notify Commander Richards that the androids will never return.
