• [Shorty gets off the phone with Cleo] 

  Eric : What did they say?

  Shorty : Hard to hear, but they said something about a diamond.

  Eric : Ah. Cleo was planning to go shopping for pierced earrings today.

  Shorty : Pierced earrings? She is a happy-go-lucky girl. She shops while we attempt industrial experiments in outer space...

• Shorty : I got the story. We have to help this girl Tina.

  Cleopatra : Of course! They're fighting against Corns, I've GOT to fight back!

• Shorty : We found out that Tina's brother, Yona Badam, was an agent of the British Intelligence Service.

  Tina Badam : He was?

  Suen : What was his assignment?

  Shorty : I haven't found out yet, but it was something of high importance...

• Nacky : Hey, Cleo! You've survived again!

  Cleopatra : Nacky!

  Shorty : Where are you?

  Nacky : Florida, Cape Kennedy.

  Suen : What happened? You left us last night.

  Nacky : Sorry about that. Their chopper was taking off and I had to follow.

  Cleopatra : Why do you always run such a risk? We were worried sick about you!

• Cleopatra : Who is this Doctor Randall?

  Suen : Doctor Randall used to be a top executive at Corns.

  Cleopatra : Really?

  Eric : He was kicked out because he tried to take control of the entire company. Controlling Corns means controlling more than half the world.

  Shorty : He's a dangerous man: cruel and ambitious. I thought he had died long ago.

  Cleopatra : But what is the big problem?

  Suen : The woman we met on the island is a member of Sleider Group. If Dr Randall and Sleider cooperate...

  Suen : If Corns is light, then Sleider is shadow. They are an underground economic organization.

  Eric : They traffic in drugs, prostitution and human labour. They'll do anything to get money, even make war.

  Suen : [to Cleopatra]  I didn't want you to know of such corruption.

  Cleopatra : Thanks, Suen.

• Shorty : Optical weapon?... A laser?

  Nacky : [nods]  They will use the diamond as a lens.

  Eric : They will focus sunlight through the diamond, creating a terrible fire.

  Tina Badam : When Pharoah becomes a star, the world will be burned!

  Suen : But how do you reach the stars?

• Eric : They're going to use our shuttle!

  Shorty : What?

  Eric : The shuttle carries a reflector for our experiment! There was a last-minute change in personnel for the mission...!

  Shorty : SHIT!

• Nacky : You'd better get over here. I found out something important.

  Eric : What did you find?

  Nacky : I saw Doctor Randall, with... that woman.

  Shorty : What?

  Eric : Is that true?

  Suen : [spills her coffee]  How terrible!
