Quotes 

• Seton Kellogg : [after a fight between Varek and Buck ended]  Greetings, Mr. Argus.

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : I take it this means I passed?

  Jolen Quince : Indeed, you have, Argus. I haven't had this much fun since we initiated Morgan Deneveva.

  Seton Kellogg : Anyone who can hold his own against us deserves to be considered one of us. The Legion of Death.

  [everyone holds up their right arm] 

  Seton Kellogg : I'm Kellog. Sherese and Quince and Varek. Our mysterious friend Marcus has arranged for all of us to meet inside the solar energy collector at 1400 hours, at which time, we will discuss the full scope of our plans.

  [everyone but Buck and Sherese walk away] 

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Something I can do for you, Sherese?

  Sherese : You're just not what I expected, that's all.

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Disappointed?

  Sherese : Not yet. By the way, there's an old friend of yours waiting for you back at the hotel. Joella Cameron. Sound familiar?

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Not particularly. But then, I meet a lot of women.

  Sherese : Well, this one very definitely remembers you.

• [Masquerading as Raphael Argus, Buck has been captured and taken to a prison ship, where he is roomed with pirate Barnard Smith] 

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : However, we don't have to share any cell. If I can get them to lower that force field.

  Barnard 'Barney' Smith : You have a plan?

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Let's just say I need an opportunity.

  Barnard 'Barney' Smith : Well follow my lead, my friend. Follow my lead, opportunity is about to knock.

  [Barney runs to the invisible force field] 

  Barnard 'Barney' Smith : [screaming hysterically]  GUARD! GUARD! GET ME OUT OF HERE! HELP! Get me out of here!

  Guard : [as Barney moans and holds his head in fictitious pain]  What's the matter with you?

  Barnard 'Barney' Smith : You fool! Don't you know an Archuran when you see one? He tried to have psychic commune with me! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : He's out of his mind! I never touched him!

  Barnard 'Barney' Smith : Don't listen to him you idiot! Get me out of here! Don't you know enough to seperate the species? Ahhhhhhhhh!

  Guard : [Lowering the force field]  All right!

  Guard : [Speaking to his partner as he motions to Buck]  Take this joker to another cell!

  [Barney attacks the first guard as Buck grabs a black light bomb and throws it to the floor, opaquing the cell in black energy smoke] 

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : I've got his gun! Come on, Barney!

• Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : You look like somebody I can trust.

  Joella Cameron : I just look like somebody you can trust?

  [Chuckles] 

  Joella Cameron : Boy, you must get hurt an awful lot.

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Sometimes you get hurt no matter what you do. You can't let that stop you trusting people.

  Joella Cameron : Sure you can, after you hear the same old lines year after year. asking you to trust and to care for as long as they need you. And then they leave you, and you're alone on some godforsaken planet, and you don't even know where home is anymore? Sure, you can.

  Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Joella, everybody gets hurt, but everybody doesn't hurt everybody.

  Joella Cameron : I'll hold you to that, Buck Rogers.

• Capt. William "Buck" Rogers : Okay, Kellogg, what's the idea having Porky and Baby-Doll here having us kidnapped?
