Here, why don't you have
a couple more of these?
You could use the tonnage:

[Laughs]
Oh, if only your tact matched
your powers of observation:

[Mumbles]
No... No offense intended, you know?
Mm-hmm:

I just can't stand these things:

You know, I'm really sorry that
we're headed back for Vega quadrant:

Stopping off for fuel and supplies
on Earth was a nice change of pace:
Mmm:

[Woman On P: A:]
Now hear this: The ship has been ordered
back to Earth orbit:
Oh:

All personnel, report to duty stations:

Captain Rogers,
report to the hangar deck at once:

That is all:

We just left Earth orbit 12 hours ago:

Maybe you won't have to face
Vega quadrant after all:
Yeah:

[Woman On P: A:]
Attention hangar deck:

Prepare to receive Earth shuttle
in one minute:

What's going on, Admiral?

Why are we headed back to Earth?
Frankly, I don't know:

We received orders to stand by
to receive Commissioner Bergstrom
of the AllianceJudiciary Council:

Bergstrom?
The war crimes prosecutor?
That's the one:

I thought his job was investigating
interplanetary aggression
and war crimes on a galactic scale:

Why is he coming aboard the Searcher?
Frankly, I don't know:

Any more than I know why he requested
that you be on the hangar deck
when he arrived:

[Woman On P: A:]
Earth shuttle has docked:
[Door Opens]

Prepare to receive Commissioner Bergstrom
and his party:

Commissioner Bergstrom:
This is indeed a great honor:

Although, I must admit,
a somewhat puzzling one:

To what do we owe
the pleasure of this meeting?

I'm afraid the meeting
will not be pleasurable, Admiral:

I'm here on official business
of utmost gravity:

I see: Well, needless to say,
I will do everything I can to assist you:

- Captain Buck Rogers?
- Yes, Commissioner?

Under provisions
of the Alliance War Crimes Act,

you are hereby placed
under close arrest:

Captain!

Arrest? What are the charges?

All in good time: You will escort
the captain to the wardroom:

Yes, sir:

Commissioner, I have a right
to know what the charges are:

Very well, Captain:

TheJudiciary Council of Earth
has decreed that you, Buck Rogers,

be placed under arrest
for suspicion of high treason:

[Man Narrating]
In the year of 1987,

NASA launched the last
of America's deep space probes:

Aboard this compact starship,

a lone astronaut,
Captain William "Buck'"Rogers,

was to experience cosmic forces
beyond all comprehension:

In a freak mishap,
his life-support systems were frozen: : :

By temperatures beyond imagination:

Ranger 3 was blown out
of its planned trajectory: : :

Into an orbit 1,000 times more vast,

an orbit which was to return
Buck Rogers to Earth: : :

500 years later:

Commissioner,
as commander of this ship,

I insist upon being told
what this is all about:

I don't believe that Captain Rogers
could have possibly done anything: : :

To warrant an investigation
of treason:

Everything will be made clear once
the proceedings are underway, Admiral:

Why don't you take a seat?

[Hawk] I do not understand:
[Bergstrom]
Everyone please take their places:

[Asimov]
What you've heard is correct, Hawk:

I don't understand it
any more than you do:

[Bergstrom] Bring in Captain Rogers:

You'll sit here, please,
Captain Rogers:

- General Arnheim,
I believe we're ready to proceed:
- Very well, Commissioner:

Under the provisions of Alliance law,
this hearing is now convened:

It is appropriate that this room
affords us a view of the Earth:

For it is the Earth
which is the true plaintiff
in today's proceedings:

I need hardly remind you
of the Earth's fragile beauty,

of its tragic and terrible history:

We all know that our planet
has been scarred far too many times: : :

By wars, famines and atrocities
for me to have to recount them here:

But without question,
the most terrible of these tragedies: : :

Was the nuclear holocaust
of the late 20th century: : :

Which reduced our beautiful planet
to smoldering embers,

laid waste to our gleaming cities
and snuffed out the lives ofbillions,

plunging our planet into a dark age: : :

From which it has taken us
centuries to emerge:

If the Earth could speak,
it would cry out: : :

Against the sheer insanity
of this wanton destruction,

and it would demand that those
responsible be identified and punished:

But the instigators
of Earth's Armageddon: : :

Perished along with
their innocent victims:

So the blame was never fiixed:

The scales ofjustice
were never balanced:

But today,

more than 500 years
after that horrible bloodletting,

we are able to bring to account
at least one of those responsible:

There! There sits the man who,
as much as anyone else, was responsible: : :

For the nuclear holocaust
which virtually destroyed the planet Earth...
Captain Buck Rogers!

That's the most ridiculous accusation
I've ever heard!
[Gavel Bangs]

- The defendant will return to his seat:
- I demand to know the basis
of your charges!

Where's your evidence?
I will not repeat myself:
Return to your seat:

You will see the evidence,
Captain, right now:

This lead box was recently unearthed
in some newly found ruins: : :

In what had been, in the late
20th century, the headquarters: : :

For the United States Air Force
North American Air Command:

These headquarters were located
deep within a mountain: : :

In what was then known
as the Colorado Rockies:

You'll notice that
the box is badly charred:

This is the result of the intense heat
that it underwent: : :

When the headquarters were destroyed
by the nuclear holocaust:

But the contents of the box
survived unscathed:

It's a videocassette:
It was very common
in the late 20th century,

used to record images much as we do
with laser holography today:

If you will:

[Beeps]

[People Murmuring]

- Jim Peterson:
- Then you recognize this man, Captain Rogers?

He was my best friend:

It's November 22, 1987:

I'm MajorJim Peterson,
United States Air Force:

Our country has just undergone
a devastating nuclear attack:

All major cities destroyed:

The U: S: Counterattacked,
but radar tells us: : :

That the final enemy salvo that will
finish us off is only minutes away:

As a member of Air Force Intelligence,

I've recently come into possession
of top secret evidence...

a videotape... that proves
the attack was provoked: : :

By the treasonous activities of certain
fanatical U: S: Air Force officers:

This film: : :

Was taken secretly: : :

By Air Force Intelligence: : :

On January 8, 1987:

The man who is about to speak: : :

Is Lieutenant General
Preston C: Myers,

Vice Commander
of the Tactical Air Command:

Gentlemen, we'll make
this meeting a brief one,
since I think we're all in agreement: : :

As to what needs to be done:

Send Rogers in:

Captain Rogers
reporting as ordered, sir:

- [Myers] Sit down, Captain:
- [Buck] Yes, sir:

By now you've had time to think over
the project we mentioned last week:

Yes, sir: I have:
Good:

I don't think I need to remind you that
the present civilian administration: : :

Has repeatedly backed down
in the face of foreign provocations:

It's allowed the other side
to gain a dangerous superiority
in tactical nuclear weapons:

I agree, sir:

I've given your plan
a great deal of thought, General:

I'm convinced that a preemptive
nuclear strike is the only way: : :

We'll ever eliminate the dangers that
menace our country and our way of life:

- [Myers] Then you're with us?
- Yes, sir:

[People Murmuring]
There is one problem, however:

A preemptive nuclear strike would
require the simultaneous launching: : :

Of every l: C: B: M: In our arsenal:

That could not be ordered
without having a master list: : :

Of the top secret launch codes:

Those codes are available only to the
chief of staff and the president himself:

Precisely, Captain,
and that's where you come in:

We want you to obtain
those codes for us,

so we can launch our strike
before the year is out:

[People Murmuring]

How about it?
Are you with us or not?

- All the way, sir:
- Good:

You'll proceed at once:

Anything you need for thejob
will be placed at your disposal:

Oh, uh, General Roberts tells me
your main ambition: : :

Is to fly the next deep space probe
for NASA:

That's correct, sir:
Well,

once we have those codes,
I think that could be arranged:

[Murmuring Continues]
Thank you, sir:

Is there anything else?

That will be all, Captain:
Colonel Turner will see you out:

Thank you, General:

I'm ashamed to say that Buck Rogers: : :

Was my closest friend
until I saw this tape:

And the fact that he was lost
six months ago,

while flying that NASA mission
he wanted so badly,

may have been God's punishment
for his treachery:

I only regret that I grieve for him:

As for the tape I'm making now,

after I sign off, I'll: : :

Place it in this box:

My hope is that: : :

Someday a survivor of this war: : :

Or a descendent of a survivor: : :

Will find it and learn
what really happened...

that our world was blown to bits
by traitors and madmen:

[Murmuring Continues]

These will be
the last words I ever speak:

Good-bye:

And I pray that mankind: : :

Somehow survives this insanity:

It wasn't that way, Jim:

It couldn't have been:

General, we have seen
incontrovertible proof: : :

That Captain Buck Rogers
conspired with others: : :

To plan the nuclear holocaust which
virtually destroyed the planet Earth:

I move that this tape recording: : :

Be grounds for formal indictment
ofhigh treason:
[People Murmuring]

[Wilma]
I don't believe it:
Motion granted:

It can't be true:

[Arnheim]
Captain Rogers, you stand charged
with high treason:

You will be permitted, of course,
to offer testimony in your own defense,

and defense counsel will be appointed
if you wish it:

However, I must warn you:

If the charges against you
are sustained,

the law requires
a mandatory sentence of death:

[Murmuring Continues]

We shall reconvene
at 0900 tomorrow,

at which time you may speak
in your own defense:

[Gavel Bangs]

Buck?

Buck!
[Buck]
Come in:

Kind of dark in here, isn't it?

Buck...

If you're here for the standard
pep talk, Wilma, forget it:

There's got to be a logical explanation
for what we saw:

Maybe it wasn't you:
Maybe it was someone
impersonating you:

Come on, Wilma:
You know me better than anyone alive:
You know it was me!

What I can't figure out
is how it could have been:

I do not remember any of those things
ever happening to me:

I don't remember even meeting
those generals,

much less being a coconspirator
with them:

You know something?

As much as
this charge of treason hurts,

something else hurts even more:

What's that?

The best friend I ever had: : :

Died thinking I betrayed him
and his country:

[Sighs]
Well...

Look at me:
[Chuckles]

All broken up over someone
who's been dead for over 500 years:

[Sighs]

- It's crazy:
- No, it's not:

Buck, I want you to know something:

No matter what happens,
no matter how this thing turns out,

there's no man
I've ever respected more:

Thank you:

Now, I am not going to let you: : :

Walk into that hearing tomorrow
and run up a white flag:

We're going to figure out why
you don't remember: : :

What you saw on those tapes:

And if we can do that,
then maybe we can explain
how those things happened:

Terrific:

You have any idea
how you're gonna do all that?

No: But Dr: Goodfellow might:

He said he was gonna
work on a hypothesis:

Why don't we go find out
what he's come up with?

Oh, yeah, why don't we just
take a run down to the lab: : :

And talk to Dr: Goodfellow, right?

You're forgetting
that I'm a prisoner here:

I'm the arch villain
of the millennium:

I can't just go traipsing through
the halls of this ship willy-nilly:

Well, I talked to General Arnheim
and the admiral,

and they said you can go
anywhere you like on this ship: : :

As long as you're accompanied
by an officer:

And guess what?

I'm an officer:

[Buck]
Well, I wish I could share
your optimism, Doctor, but: : :

Not only do I not remember
what was on those videotapes,

but a lot of what I do remember
is sketchy, to say the least:

Well, that's hardly surprising,
my dear boy:

It was only a few months later
you were frozen: : :

In your space capsule
for 500 years:

Your memory of events immediately
preceding was undoubtedly affected: : :

To a considerable degree:

Yes, which makes it a bit difficult
to account for my activities:

You know, one thing that really
bothers me, Doctor, is that,

well, the fact that I could be guilty
of what they're accusing me of:

- Buck, you can't mean that:
- I don't know: I don't know:

I mean, I find it difficult to believe
that I'm guilty of treason:

But, well, I was worried about
the possibility of an attack on our country:

Doctor, isn't there something we can do
to help Buck remember: : :

What happened during that time?

Well, of course there is, my dear:
The Optical Engram Imager:

After all, it's helped us
on other occasions: : :

When it's been necessary to probe
the recesses of someone's mind:

Why not in this instance?

I thought evidence obtained
through an O: E: L: Was not
admissible in court:

[Crichton]
Au contraire, Colonel:

Recent amendments to the evidentiary code
permit O: E: L: Testimony: : :

To be admitted as evidence
if the defendant in the case so chooses:

Mmm: Well, you learn
something new every day:

I should certainly hope so, Captain:

Why, Twiki, what brings you
to my laboratory, eh?

Hello, Doctor: Hello, Wilma:

I've come to see Buck:

This is for you, Buck:

Well, thank you, Twiki:
What is it?

A petition of support:

Everyone on the ship signed it...

from the admiral right down
to the gang in the engine room:

Well, thank you, Twiki:
This means a lot to me:

We're all behind you, Buck:
We know you're innocent:

Let's just hope the O: E: L:
Proves that in court tomorrow:

There we are then:
I think that's it:

Is it comfortable for you, Buck?
That's fine, Doctor:

Good: Good:
Switch it on:

[Muttering]

We're ready to proceed,
Mr: Commissioner:

Thank you:

[Bergstrom]
Lights, please:

According to the evidence
that we saw yesterday,

the treasonous activities
that you are accused of: : :

Were planned in January of 1987:

I want you to concentrate:

Think back to that time:

Show the court what you remember
of that period:

Uh, nothing: : : Out of the ordinary:

- Everything seems pretty routine:
- Concentrate, Captain!

We are interested only in those
memories relevant to the charges:

Mount Rushmore?

I don't know why
that flashed through my head:
I've never even been there:

Come, you'll have to do
better than that, Captain:

It was you who asked to testify
through the O: E: L:

So far, your memories
haven't touched on the case: : :

Or even on anything that might
prove your innocence:

Wait a minute: Wait a minute:
Something's coming:

Good morning, Colonel:
Morning:

You got the things I need?
Yeah: Here it is:

It's fully automatic,
with an infrared flash:

You can take pictures in total darkness
if you have to: Undetected:

Nothing but the best, huh?
Anything for a good cause:

And this little gem: : :
Gets you into the safe:

It's computerized,
with a digital readout:

You just twirl that combination knob
and this baby does the rest:

What'll they think of next?

Have you figured out
how to get into that crypto room yet?

I'm working on it:
I should be able to come up
with something by next week:

I'm glad you're with us:
General Myers couldn't have picked
a better man:

Good luck:
Thank you, sir:

- I don't remember any of that:
- You don't remember meeting that colonel?

- Well, l... l... I think I knew him, but...
- You knew him:!

What I mean is,
I seem to remember knowing him,

but I don't recall ever having
a meeting like that:

But isn't it possible, if you knew him,
that such a meeting might have taken place?

Yes, it's possible:

This farce has gone on
long enough, General:

Captain Rogers has convicted himself
with his own memories:

I demand that a verdict be rendered:

I repeat, General:
The prosecution demands
that a verdict be rendered:

Commissioner, I must remind you
that the defendant has a right: : :

To continue testifying
if he so chooses:

Captain, although you may
continue if you wish,

I hardly need to point out
that your O: E: L: Testimony: : :

Is hurting your case
rather than helping it:

- Do you want to proceed?
- Yes, Your Honor, I do,

in the hopes that further testimony might
help explain what we've already seen:

If nothing else, I owe it to my friends
aboard this ship who believe in me:

Very well, Captain:
Proceed, Doctor:

All right, Captain: Once again,
I'm going to ask you: : :

To think about
those weeks in January,

allowing your mind
to settle on images: : :

Which somehow might relate
to the matters at hand:

Try to give us something relevant,
Captain:

No, nothing yet:

Wait a minute: Wait a minute:
I'm getting something:

I feel like I've been walking
guard duty all night:

[Man #2]
Relief should be here
in 10 minutes:

We will recess for lunch:

The hearing will be reconvened
at 1400 hours:
[Gavel Bangs]

Doctor, I have absolutely no memory: : :

Of any of those things
ever happening to me:

None of them! Is it possible that
that machine could be wrong?

I'm sorry, Buck, truly sorry,

but the possibility of the O: E: L:
Being wrong is absolutely nil:

All right:
Thanks anyway, Doc:

Good luck, my dear boy:

Well, looks like it's all true:

- Apparently I am a traitor:
- I still find that hard to believe:

- As do l:
- Yeah, well, I don't know what I believe:

Buck, I'vejust spoken
with General Arnheim:

The judges feel that
no further testimony is necessary:

They intend to announce a verdict
when we reconvene in an hour:

Well, that's it then:

I'm sorry, Buck,

truly sorry:

That's all right, Admiral:
I understand:

Well, um, I guess I'd better be
getting back to the bridge:

Buck, are you all right?
I don't know:

I just: : :

Had a sharp image of: : :

Mount Rushmore:

It was like when I was
hooked up on the O: E: L:, only: : :

The image was so powerful
that it... it actually hurt:

Buck:

I just had it again:

A sharp, clear image
of Mount Rushmore:

I don't understand:
Wait, wait, wait:

These mental images of Mount Rushmore...
They must mean something:

- But what?
- [Hawk] I do not know:

They began when the O: E: L:
Was probing Buck's mind,

displaying memories so suppressed,

you did not even know
they were in your brain:

Hawk, you've got a point:
What if somehow,

somewhere those images of Mount Rushmore
tie in with the other images?

It could be the key to them all:

The answer is obvious:
You must go to Mount Rushmore:

Your presence there
could trigger a full recollection: : :

Of what happened,
of what the images mean:

You can take Wilma with you
as a witness to what you discover:

Hawk, we'd never get there:

Once we left the ship,
we'd be pursued and caught in no time:

Permit me: : :
To take care of that:

[Buck]
So far so good, Wilma:
There's no sign of pursuit:

[Wilma]
For both our sakes,
I hope Hawk's theory is right:

There's a starfighter on our tail:
It's mine:

[Man On Radio]
Captain Rogers,
I have orders to shoot you down: : :

If you don't return
to the Searcher at once:

[Buck]
I'll try to outrun him:

He's getting closer, Wilma:
He's zeroing in:

[Beeping]

Starfighter, this is Hawk:

Release your controls,
or I'll rip your ship apart:

- Controls released:
- Hawk, what took you so long?

- We almost had our tickets punched:
- I had to deal with some marines: : :

Who seemed to object to my taking off:

I will take this one to
a safe landing spot and release him:

I do not think
he will trouble you further:

Buck, good luck:
[Buck On Radio]
Thank you, Hawk:

Mount Rushmore, here we come:

World's greatest sculpture
began in 1928:

It's quite a sight, isn't it?
Yeah:

I also read that, except for
the pyramids of ancient Egypt: : :

And the Aztec ruins in Mexico,

it's the only man-made thing
still standing since the holocaust:

Hello there:
Can I help you folks?

Crawford's the name:
I'm the caretaker here:

Well, Mr: Crawford,
we'd like to take a look
around the mountain:

Would you, really?
Not many folks come up here
this time of the year:

I suppose you wanna see
the president's bunker:

The president's bunker?

Well, most folks
haven't heard about it:

Back in 1986,
the president of the United States: : :

Decided he needed a special
bombproof headquarters: : :

In case a nuclear war broke out:

So he had a special chamber built
right inside Mount Rushmore,

directly below the sculptures
of the other presidents:

Mr: Crawford, I'd really like
to see that chamber:

Fine by me, friend:
I'll tell you how to get to it:

I trusted you, Admiral Asimov:

This lapse of security
is utterly inexcusable:

Need I remind you, sir,
you are aboard my ship:

If you had put an armed guard on Rogers
from the beginning, when I asked you to,

he would never have been able
to leave this ship!

As it stands, not only he
and Colonel Deering are gone,

but also, your man, Hawk,
knocked two of my men unconscious!

I don't condone what happened
any more than you do, Commissioner,

but I'm certain we'll hear from them
shortly with an explanation:

It's a little too late
for explanations:

In addition to your fighter
that I sent out after them,

I've notified
all major Earth installations: : :

To start a search,
both air and ground:

They have orders to fire first
and ask questions later:

The place sure is gloomy in here:

Well, that would explain what
Crawford said about only coming here: : :

From time to time
to meet with his military advisors:

It's ironic to think that
when the holocaust hit,
he never had a chance to get here:

This is amazing:

- Buck, what is it?
- I don't know, Wilma:

I have the strangest feeling: : :

That I've been here before:

But you said you
never visited Mount Rushmore:

I know: I know:

I can't explain it:

It's just that...

Buck, are you all right?

- What is it?
- Wilma, I have been here before:

Don't either of you move:

Captain Rogers, your unauthorized
absence has seriously damaged: : :

Your standing in the eyes
of the court:

Moreover, you have jeopardized
two of your colleagues,

who will undoubtedly be charged
with aiding and abetting your escape:

You now claim that some...
some: : : Hallucination you had: : :

While on Earth
is relevant to this case: : :

And that you should be permitted
another opportunity: : :

To be tested through the O: E: L:

Well, frankly, after having seen
the testimony you've already given,

I should think you would have had
quite enough of the O: E: L:

Your Honor, I don't know if
further testimony will help to clear me: : :

Or only serve to
incriminate me further,

but I'm convinced that what I experienced
down at Mount Rushmore: : :

Was a fragment of
a deeply repressed memory:

I have got to find out
what that memory is,

no matter how it affects
the outcome of my case:

General, this request is highly irregular:
I move that it be denied:

Captain, in view of the seriousness
of the charges against you: : :

And the fact that they carry
a mandatory sentence of death,

I will permit you to testify
one last time:

Thank you, Your Honor:
You may proceed, Doctor:

Your Honor, I'm not sure what period
I should be concentrating on,

so I'd like to go back a little further
than we did before...

to the latter part of 1986,

just before the meeting
in General Myers's office:

Very well:

Captain, I'm sure you appreciate
how serious a threat our country faces:

Yes, sir, I do:
The security of the entire nation: : :

Rests on whether or not
your plan succeeds:

Precisely:
That's why it's so important: : :

That you fully understand
the dangers involved:

Think over our proposal:

We're not holding you
to any commitment: : :

Until you've had
some more time to consider it:

We'll talk again in a few days:
Very well, sir:

General, what we've just witnessed
is clearly the initial meeting: : :

When Captain Rogers was being recruited
into the conspiracy:

Your Honor, please,
allow me to continue:
Let me go back a little further,

before the conversation wejust saw:

Captain Rogers is just stalling for time:

- You may proceed, Captain:
- Thank you, General:

Come in, Captain: Come in:
Don't be bashful:

Very pleased to meet you,
Captain Rogers:

Your superiors have had nothing
but good things to say about you:

It's a pleasure meeting you,
Mr: President:

Sit down: I know you're wondering
why you've been summoned here:

I'm not gonna keep you
on pins and needles:
I'm gonna come directly to the point:

Less than a week ago,
Air Force Intelligence learned of a plan,

or l: : : Should say a conspiracy: : :

On the part of several
high-ranking air force officers: : :

To take control
of our country's l: C: B: M: S:

As near as we can learn,
they intend to launch: : :

A first strike against the other side:

I see:
Needless to say,
we've got to learn: : :

As much as possible about their plan
and as quickly as we can:

The best way to accomplish that
is to have someone working on the inside,

pretending to be one of them:

The senior staff has considered
several qualified officers for the job,

but your name
was at the top of the list:

- Well, I'll do whatever
needs to be done, Mr: President:
- That's the answer we expected, Captain:

There is one problem
though, Mr: President:
What?

I don't know how convincing I'm gonna be
as a fanatical coconspirator:

We've already addressed ourselves
to that problem, Captain:

General Orr, will you
fill Captain Rogers in on the details?

Yes, Mr: President: In order to assure
the realism of your performance,

you'll be placed under a form
of extremely deep hypnosis,

during which time you'll
be programmed, so to speak,

to play the part of a conspirator:

Everything you think, do and say
will be utterly convincing:

Not only to the people around you,
but to yourself as well:

Are you telling me that my personality
will be completely transformed?

Only for a temporary period:

When the operation has ended,
you'll be brought out of the hypnosis,

and you'll not remember anything
of the operation or of your part in it:

That is for your own protection
as well as for security reasons:

We don't want the public
becoming aware of this plot: : :

Since it might trigger
panic and hysteria:

I understand that, sir:
What will I remember of that period?

You will be given a set of ordinary,
routine memories: : :

Through hypnotic suggestion:

[President]
You must understand, Captain,
that you've got to stay with the group: : :

Until we're absolutely certain
we've identified everyone involved:

Air Force Intelligence will monitor you
every step of the way,

filming your clandestine meetings:

No worry about support:
You'll be backed up all the way:

Well, I haven't given you
much of a Christmas present, Captain:

But in a month or two,
we'll have this thing cracked,

and then we'll be able
to start the new year: : :

With a serious threat to world peace
neutralized once and for all:

Thank you, Mr: President:
General:

[People Murmuring]

Commissioner, it would appear
that we have come dangerously close: : :

To presiding over a terrible
miscarriage of justice:

Bravo, Buck, my boy: Bravo!

[Twiki]
Nice going, Buck:
[Laughs]

Congratulations, Buck:
Congratulations:
Thank you: Thank you:

Captain Rogers:

I certainly would understand
if you choose not to take my hand:

But whether you do or do not,
you have my deepest apologies: : :

And sincerest congratulations:

Fusion reactors
are at full power, Admiral:

And we're on course
for Vega quadrant:

Excellent:
Go to plasma drive:

Yes, sir:

Buck, I thought you
were getting some rest:

I'm still a little too wound up
to sleep, Admiral:

I see we're
leaving the solar system:

Yes, we moved out of radio range
almost two hours ago:

Oh: You know, it's a shame:

I guess we never will know
how the holocaust started:

At least we know how it didn't start:

I always knew you were innocent, Buck:

- Oh, yeah? How's that?
- Robotic intuition:

Robotic intuition?
What in the devil is that?

Well, it's sort of like feminine intuition,
only more mechanical:

Oh: You've been hanging around
Crichton too long, Twiki:
