Within three days, all the people on Earth will die:
[ Narrator ] Wilma's old flight instructor and his over-the-hill squadron:::
join with Buck to avert a terrible threat to Earth:
We're gonna have to destroy that base and eliminate that nerve gas:
- We've got to attack: - Wilma and Buck are down there:
Do you know what pain is, Rogers?
[ Man Narrating ] The year is 1 987,
and NASA launches the last of America's deep space probes:
In a freak mishap, Ranger 3 and its pilot, Captain William "Buck'"Rogers,
are blown out of their trajectory into an orbit which freezes his life-support systems:::
and returns Buck Rogers to Earth:::
500 years later:
[ Wilma ] Starfighter patrol to Lisa's Dream: Decelerate, Lisa's Dream:
Decelerate or we'll open fire:
- They're pulling out of range: - Decelerate at once: That ship is stolen property:
Look at that old ship move: Where are they gettin' all that speed?
Maybe they know who's after 'em:
- Westlake, Clayton, clam up, will ya? - Oh, what's a clam?
Never mind:
Colonel Deering, may I speak to you on the command frequency?
[ Wilma ] You've got your privacy, Buck: What's the problem?
I volunteered to train our two friends on flight maneuvers, not chase procedures:
They have no business being out here:
It's easier for us to go after that freighter:::
than for Dr: Huer to scramble pilots on the ground:
I know they're green: That stolen freighter better be pretty important:
-[ Wilma ] They're headed for Necrosis IV: - Inside that asteroid belt?
Affirmative: If we don't catch up to them now, we never will: Full speed, everyone:
Enemy fighters dead ahead: Scatter!
I'm hit!
Hold it together, Clayton: Help's on the way:
- Clayton, what's your damage? - Minimal, Captain:
Next time, Westlake, watch for a rear attack as well as a frontal:
Yes, Colonel:
- I'm goin' after 'em: - I'm with you:
[ Wilma ] They followed the freighter into the asteroids:
- Clayton, Westlake, fall back! - They're going in too fast!
- What do we do now? - We go home:
What are you doing, Alicia?
Oh, your mind is always off somewhere:
Five years I've owned you, and you always seem to be dreaming with your eyes wide open:
If the market for Terran servants wasn't so depressed, I'd sell you in an instant:
Don't just stand there: Brush!
You were smiling!
You think I'm hideous:
You think you're better than me:::
because you have two normal hands:
Well, I can rectify that!
- [ Beeps ] - Yes:
[ Woman on Intercom ] Commander Corliss is back with the freighter from Earth:
Thank you:
Welcome home!
Did you have any problems? No:
Security for the Directorate hangar:::
was designed to protect the contents of the freighter, not the ship itself:
Huer did send four starfighters after me:
But they were destroyed when they tried to penetrate the asteroids:
When can we launch our attack?
Just as soon as the gas is loaded into the missile containers:
It's been three years since Wilma Deering's squadron tried to destroy us:
Three years: And I dream about that cabin fire every night:
The flames:::
the heat, the pain:
As do I:
But we're going to pay them back:
[ Corliss ] Within three days, all the people on Earth will die:
Are you gonna try telling me that lousy stolen freighter:::
was worth the lives of those two cadets?
They were just kids! They had no business being out there!
I tried telling you that: I didn't want them hurt any more than you did, Buck:
I'm sorry: It's been a long day:
Buck, that freighter:::
was scheduled to be flown into deep space and destroyed:
You look at this and tell us if going after that freighter was worth their lives:
This is a video inventory of what was on it:
Twentieth-century weapons: Where'd they come from?
From an arsenal discovered near the ruins of the country's ancient capital--
- Washington, D:C: - Washington, D:C:
You mean to tell me those old weapons could possibly be a threat to Earth?
Those are nerve gas canisters, Wilma:
You drop one of those into our atmosphere:::
spread it around with an air blast, we'd all be dead within a week:
[ Twiki ] Oh, boy!
Yeah, I'd call that a threat:
That freighter was headed towards Necrosis IV:::
which means Corliss and Trent are probably responsible:
Which also means that that nerve gas isn't just a threat:
They'll use it::: because of me:
Let me explain, Buck: Corliss and Trent are gunrunners:
They reportedly maintain a base in the Necrosis asteroids:
Several years back:::
they sustained some rather severe injuries while resisting arrest:::
for which they swore revenge against Colonel Deering:
We're gonna have to destroy that base:::
and eliminate that nerve gas immediately:
How do we penetrate that asteroid belt without ending up the same way Clayton and Westlake did?
- Noah Cooper: - But he's retired:
Yes, but he knows the Necrosis belt even better than Corliss:
- But, Doctor-- - You need a guide through those asteroids, Colonel:
- Talk to him: That's an order: - Yes, sir:
[ Sighs ] I seemed a bit hard on her, didn't I?
Well, perhaps I was, but we've had this discussion before:
And when it comes to Noah Cooper:::
she just doesn't think very clearly:
I suggest you go with her, but before you do, let me give you a little background:
Colonel Deering's father flew with Noah's Earth Space Marine Squadron:
And Noah was her first flight instructor:
He was very helpful to her in the early stages of her career:
Helped to develop her: They formed a very deep bond of friendship:
And then the squadron got old: Noah got old:
Last year she had to give them their annual physical fitness test:
And she had to fail them, all of them:::
including Noah:
And now you're asking her to ask him to come out of retirement:
You put her in a very difficult position, Doctor:
Perhaps:
But it's imperative Noah help us:
All right: See what I can do:
Well, Twiki, Captain Rogers seems to have his work cut out for him:
[ Twiki Chirping ] It's in the bag:
Pardon me? Everything's copacetic: [ Chirping ]
''Copa'' what? [ Chirping ]
Forget it: I trust Buck: [ Chirping ]
[ Chatting ]
[ Wilma ] Hi, Plato:
He should be here by 1 800 hours: He spends a lot of time here:
- It's not gonna be easy, is it? - Noah's just too old to go into space again:
Even in the 25th century,
they still throw people on the scrap heap because of their age:
Buck, I didn't want to ground him:
It's just that he wasn't-- He wasn't capable anymore:
And I didn't want to see him get hurt:
- Wilma Deering:! - Hi, Noah:
What, no hug? Since when did you greet me without a hug?
No matter what's happened, I still love you, Dizzy ''D:'' Remember that:
Dizzy ''D''?
Oh, hi: Name's Noah, as in Noah Cooper:
Hi: Name's Buck, as in Buck Rogers:
- Buck: - Dizzy ''D''?
Oh, we've called her that since she was this high:
Used to hang around the ready room, get into everything: Drove us dizzy:
So we called her Dizzy Deering: Dizzy "D'"for short:
Now she's all grown up:
Old enough to take a man's Silver Eagles away from him:
Noah, I--
Hey, Cooper, you ready to take your whipping playing Ten-and-Eleven?
Sure, Red: Sorry, Dizzy ''D,'' Buck, got a card game waiting: Noah, I--
And you know how important that kind of thing is to us::: older people:
Noah, would you please listen to me for a moment?
We gonna play in the dark, Red, or what?
Happy Birthday:!
[ Everyone ] Happy Birthday!
I don't like parties, and I don't like presents,
and most of all I don't like being reminded of how old I am:
But, thanks: Thank you:
As long as we're all here, Buck, I'd like you to meet:::
what's left of the 69th Earth Space Marine Squadron:
Sergeant Big Red McMurty:
Hiya, Big Red: Nice to meet ya:
Corporal Schultz: M:K: to most: M:K:
Lieutenant Harriet Twain: Nice to meet you:
My husband, Eli: Glad to meet you:
Same here: [ Barking ]
That's Lucky, our mascot:
Hiya, Lucky: How are ya? Oh, I'm Captain Buck Rogers: It's nice to meet all of you:
And of course you all know Colonel Deering:
Noah, I came here to ask you:::
to guide a squadron through the asteroids surrounding Necrosis IV:
We're gonna destroy Corliss's base once and for all:
I can't:
My peripheral vision is shot:
Remember, Colonel?
Now, wait a minute:
I understand your feelings, Major, but that base has got to be destroyed:
You're not really gonna penalize Earth for what Wilma did in the line of duty, are you?
All right: We'll do it:
And when I say ''we,'' I mean all of us: the Fighting 69th:
You know what we could do?
We can convert Seymour class cargo sleds into Star Belly bombers:
That's the ship we used when we attacked that base years ago:
You give us 1 2 hours to equip these sleds with tail gun turrets:::
another 1 2 hours to train, and we can be attacking Necrosis IV in two days:
After which we will all want our Silver Eagles back:
[ Lucky Barking ]
But you're all almost mandatory retirement age:
They don't look a day over 60:
Retirement is 85: Eighty-five?
That's the deal:
Either I lead my old squadron through those asteroids or I lead nobody at all:
Then forget it:
Corliss would cut you to pieces:
[ Trent ] How much longer?
They just started loading the gas into the missile casings:
The foreman says they'll be ready in 48 hours:
I'll get word to our people on Earth that they have two days to evacuate:
You know, our spy in New Chicago is still trying to discern:::
how much the Defense Directorate has figured out:
Huer could know everything, and it wouldn't make a bit of difference:
They can't stop us now:
It's only a matter of time before the Earth is destroyed:
Why, Alicia!
You still have feelings for your home world?
Oh:
Surely all your family must be dead by now:
And if they're not:::
they soon will be:
Nine runs, you didn't hit the target once:
I didn't see you do any better up there:
Yeah, and that was a safe-and-sane practice run:
What do we do when there are enemy fighters and pulsars screaming all around?
Maybe we should stick to throwing birthday parties:
Go on, get some rest:
Do you still want to go with us, Buck?
Sure! A bad dress rehearsal's always a good sign:
Take it from me: I know:
I monitored your runs: Nine runs, nine misses:
Don't say anything to them: It'll only make things worse:
Noah is using 20-year-old cargo sleds, 30-year-old bombs, and 85-year-old pilots:
How can I make it worse?
Look, Wilma, when I was in the Air Force:::
we had to dispose of a lot of surplus nerve gas:
Believe me, Noah's old-fashioned incendiaries:::
are the best way to deal with old-fashioned nerve gas:
Dr: Huer was wrong:
Why don't you and Noah face up to that fact before you get yourself killed?
- Why don't you be honest with yourself? - What do you mean?
You love that old man:
And you're so afraid he's gonna get hurt, it's clouding your judgment:
That was our spy in New Chicago:
She says the Defense Directorate is planning:::
a bombing attack against us within the next two days:
[ Laughing ] A bombing attack? Huer's insane:
No, he's desperate:
He knows that when and if the nerve gas leaves here:::
his chances of destroying our ships before they reach Earth are practically nil:
How can he expect anyone to navigate the asteroids in bombers?
Hejust got a reminder of how difficult it is for starfighters:
Even if they were to penetrate the asteroids:::
they wouldn't stand a chance against the pulsar batteries that surround us:
Their pilots are committing suicide:
Alicia, fill the commander's glass:
I'm sorry: Am I interrupting you?
Well::: what do we have here?
A memory globe:
Probably the only reminder she has of her former world:
She's managed to hide it from me:::
all these years:
Watch, Alicia:
Watch what's going to happen to your world:
Watch:!
Finish this for me, will ya?
I wish you all the very best of luck:
You all know how important this mission is, so there's little left for me to say:
Excepting that I'll see you, all of you:::
when you get back:
Does Wilma know we're taking off tonight?
Yes, but she's been keeping pretty much to herself these days:
I must admit: I am surprised she isn't here to see you off, Buck:
[ Twiki Chirping ]
Yeah, well, I guess she must have had other plans:
[ Lucky Barking ]
Ah, Noah, I've been dead set against your leading this mission all along:
I still am:
But it's because I didn't want to find out:::
what it would be like not to have you around:
Ahh!
And that goes for all of you too:
So maybe you just better take me along:
I'd feel better if I could keep an eye on ya:
[ Laughing ]
[ Chirping ]
Looks like I've got myself a new copilot: Come on:
- Comfortable back there, Harriet? - I'd rather be dropping bombs:
[ Whistling ]
[ Whistling Continues ]
Piece of pacifier?
Thanks:
[ Humming ]
I'd like to thank you for setting me straight about how I feel about Noah:
Think nothing of it, Dizzy ''D:''
All right, here comes the tough part, kids:
Getting through this is gonna make that bombing run seem easy:
Stay close behind me, and do exactly what I do:
And watch for falling rocks: Whew:
Enemy craft approaching: They're moving through the asteroids:
The attack force from Earth:
There are only three of them:
On the off chance they get through the asteroids, they won't get any further:
Ready the squadron:
Just a little further, kids: You're doing fine:
Reminds me of my playground back home:
Okay, start breathing again, everyone:
- [ Beeping ] - Stop breathing: We got company:
Tight ''T'' formation: Look alive, tail gunners:
- You take over: - Got it:
Ya-hoo! Who's old? I'm not old:
[ Pilot ] They're shooting from their tails:
They've modified sled class bombers with tail gun mounts:
Go beneath their fire: Attack their bellies: Yes, sir:
Low-level bombers: They're ancient:
But they could conceivably fly in below our pulsar screens:
[ Corliss ] They'll never get that far:!
Nice shot, Big Red: Looks like they're sending up reinforcements:
We'll retreat temporarily to the asteroids:
Buck, we're losing control!
All right: Hang on!
All right, bring her up slowly:
Okay, all systems returning to green:
Prepare to rendezvous with Noah:
She's a little sluggish, but I think we can finish the mission:
[ Pilot ] You will surrender at once or be destroyed:
Proceed to Vector 9-4KV Coordinate "C: '"
We will tractor beam you into the hanger:
You hear that, Noah? They've been captured:!
I heard:
- What do we do, Noah? - What can we do? We've lost them:
We've lost 'em:
You wanted to speak with me, Dr: Huer?
Yes: Come in, please:
You'd better put me on the desk, Twiki:
I have a feeling I'm going to be here a while:
[ Twiki Chirping ] So do I:
I just received a subspace message from Major Cooper:
He's about to start his bombing attack on Corliss's base:
I was under the impression they were to have done so by now:
Yes: Well, they were engaged by enemy fighters as they broke through the asteroids:::
and they had to regroup:
They lost Colonel Deering and Buck:
Oh, my!
Major Cooper feels they're being held on the base:
He also knows he's going to have to go through with the bombing anyway:
Two chances left to destroy the nerve gas:::
while it's still on Necrosis IV:
Frankly, I expected to have this chat:::
right after Major Cooper and the others took off:
You did call me in to discuss our alternatives should their mission fail:
Did you not? There's no harm in hoping they'd be successful, is there?
- There's little else we can do: - That's not quite true:
Come now, Dr: Theopolis:
Surely you don't think Corliss will send a squadron to Earth to release the nerve gas:
He'll send his ships individually:
And even though we destroy them all:::
the odds are that one:::
will come close enough to our atmosphere to poison it:
I was referring to the fact that we can and must take steps:::
to see that Earth's leadership survives:
Obviously nerve gas will have no effect on us computers:
But as for you humans-- Yes: Yes, I know, I know:
I'll alert Maintenance to ready the Omega Complex:
But in the meantime:::
you and I, Dr: Theopolis:::
must decide which of Earth's population will live:::
and which will die:
It's a dreadful task, but we must--
Twiki, where are you going? [ Chirping ]
I know that, but--
- [ Chirping ] - What was that all about?
He was upset we're assuming that Captain Rogers is never coming back:
We really must continue, Dr: Huer:
[ Harriet ] We're low on fuel and time, Noah:
- We've got to attack! - We can't: Wilma and Buck are down there:
And Corliss will be attacking Earth while we're sitting up here:
I've got to take that risk, Harriet:
You can't afford to: Dr: Huer is counting on us:
That place is like an ammunition dump:
If we bomb it, Dizzy ''D'' and Buck won't have a chance:
Neither does the Earth::: unless we attack:
[ Corliss ] The scanner indicates no movement outside the asteroids:
The Terrans must be drifting around in orbit inside the belt:
Whatever's left of them, that is:
That's right: You haven't seen your handiwork, have you?
Take a good look, Colonel:
I'm sure you've heard how eager we've been to thank you:
[ Groans ]
[ Groaning ]
Yes:::
welcome, Colonel Deering:
It's been a long three years:
You were smuggling weapons to hostile colonies:
It was my duty to try and stop you:
Who's your friend, Colonel?
Buck Rogers:
Roxanne Trent:
My pleasure:
Have you ever been in a fire, Rogers?
Or should I say::: have you ever been on fire?
No, I can't say that I have:
Do you know what pain is, Rogers?
There are all kinds of pain:
No: I'm talking about a pain that's so intense:::
the only way you can stop it is to have its source removed:
Had a toothache once:
If you had surrendered instead of remaining fugitives:::
you could've been treated at any number of good clinics:
And spend the rest of our life in detention:::
with no hope of revenge?
Oh:::
how you're going to wish we had surrendered, Colonel Deering:
Alicia, bring me the torch:
I said, bring me the torch!
Now that you've captured me, you have no reason to harm anyone else:
Let Buck go, and give up any idea you might have had of attacking Earth:
Oh, and let all that nerve gas go to waste?
Your grudge is with me:
Our grudge is with whomever we please:
[ Corliss ] If the possibility of us murdering innocent people upsets you, Colonel:::
all the better:
You're criminals: You were smuggling contraband three years ago:
Those weapons were outlawed precisely because they were dangerous:
All you cared about was the price the Arcturans were gonna give you for those weapons:
Any weapons:! You didn't care how flammable or unsafe they were:
Whether you admit it or not, you deserved exactly what you got:
Alicia, what are you doing? She's talking:
She can't talk: She doesn't have the mind for it:
She might not be able to hear, and she might not be able to speak:::
but she certainly can talk, and she has a mind:
It's okay:
Stop that: I don't want her to talk:
Alicia, get out of here: It's all right, Roxanne:
They talk with their hands:
Behind his back:
And the colonel?
Tie her feet:
What happened when you shot down our ship, Colonel, was this:
The cargo exploded:
I tried to seal off the cabin, fell into the hold and became a living torch:
Roxanne managed to pull me out, finally:
You can see for yourself at what price:
Of course, neither of you can ever understand what we went through:
Unless, of course, you were to go through it yourselves:
You will play me, and Rogers will play Corliss:
No, look, let Buck go: Do whatever you like to me: I don't care:
That's the point: You care for him:
Enough to beat the flames out with your bare hands:
Keep your hands to yourself, Wilma:
You got better things to do with them:
Commander, there's movement within the asteroids:
Looks like the Terrans are preparing to attack again:
Send a squadron to intercept them:
Sir, most of our remaining fighters have been armed with nerve gas missiles:
There are only two Earth ships left: Our fighters should have no problem:
Commander, the Terrans' first attack left us with only four ships to spare:
Take them to the holding room:
- We're out of time, Noah: - We've got to attack now:
Maybe Dizzy ''D'' was right:
You shouldn't have taken this assignment:
Yeah! Maybe you're too old and too scared to do the job:
- Damn it! You all love her too: - Of course we do, Noah:
[ Big Red ] Yeah, but we got work to do:
We're going down:
[ Noah ] We'll wait till the P:C: 's are up full: You follow me in, Big Red:
Roger! That's what a Marine likes to hear:
About to either be bombed or tortured:
Bet you've never been in this situation before: No, I can't say that I have:
Sorry I got you into this:
That's all right: Never a dull moment with you, Wilma: That's why I keep you around:
Don't worry: We'll get outta this:
If you buy that, I've got a nice corner lot for you in Anarchia:
How'd you ever learn sign language?
Usually hand-talking is only taught to children who are born deaf:
Someone taught me in the 20th century:
You've seen sign language before, haven't you?
Yes, but there's really no need to learn it:::
since deafness is usually cured in childhood with electronic surgery:
Where did you learn it? Through a friend or relative?
A friend: She was a teacher: She taught handicapped kids:
I used to go along when she took 'em on field trips:
Don't look now, but I think we've got a visitor:
She's gonna help us:
We're to try to distract the guards and stay as close to the entryway as possible:
I think that could be arranged:
Hi:
I sure like men in uniforms:
It's true: She does:
You've got the cutest blue eyes:
Think there's any way we could::: get together?
[ Wilma ] When do you get off duty?
I'm talking to all three of you,you know:
She likes ya:
[ Wilma ] You three have a date tonight?
All right, everybody: Just keep it quiet:
The excitement's over:
Gentlemen, into the cell, if you please?
Well, Wilma, what do you think?
- I think they should strip: - Wilma:
You heard what the lady said:
[ Pilot ] Theyjust got Tryon: I'm the only one left:
You said they were outnumbered two to one:
The tail mounts the Terrans are using--
the computers in our fighters aren't prepared to deal with them:
[ Pilot ] Looks like one of their sleds has been damaged: I'm going after it:
- Noah, how bad are you hit? - Scorpion, 1 5 5 degrees:
Bring us around: I can't sight him up:
He's closing in!
Yee-haw! Good shooting, Harriet!
That's all of'em: Look at that:
Nothing but empty sky down there: We got all of'em!
Now we can start dropping some bombs:
All right, listen, kids: Red, I want you to make the first run:
I have to make sure these controls are fully operational:
They've got pulsar batteries down there:
What we have to do is come in low enough to fly beneath them:
Long and low, that's our approach:
Once you're there, just let 'em drop:
I'm ready: Just give me the ''Go'' sign:
She'll understand, Noah: They'll both understand:
You're clear, Big Red: Go:
One of them is positioning itself for a bombing run:
Ready the pulsar batteries: Lock in the compu-defense system:
They'll never get close enough to bomb us:
Perhaps we should prepare an escape vessel:
Pulsar batteries deployed:
The bomber's still coming: Do as you see fit:
Order the hangar crew to remove the gas missiles from one of the fighters:
And prepare it for immediate launch: Quickly:
[ Softly ] Our sled is through that door:
You two go first and take it easy, okay?
Go:
Both of you, come with me: I said, come with me:
Run!
Stop them!
Tell them to let her go!
Tell them to let them go! I have no qualms about pulling this trigger:
Neither do I, Rogers:
Steady:
[ Humming ] Steady, steady:
More left: Stop humming:
[ M:K:] More left:
Got it:
Bomb away:
Good-bye, Dizzy ''D:''
You fool! That's an ancient signaling device:
Get the message?
Wilma, get the door: You, get over there!
- You missed! - If you'd just stop the humming:
Who's humming? I'm not humming:
- Big Red to Mother One: - We saw, Big Red: Come on back up:
Now it's our turn:
Hold it steady: We're almost there:
Second enemy bomber approaching!
We're trapped in here:
Steady: Noah, Harriet?
- Yes, Eli? - I just wanted to say::: I love you both:
Ready? Right: Hang on:
Bomb away:
This one's gonna hit!
[ Big Red ] A hit:! By God, a hit:!
Noah, you did it! Noah Cooper, you did it!
[ Wilma ] Hey, keep it down out there:
-[ Big Red ] Dizzy "D'.! I mean, Colonel Deering:! - And friends:
- Still think we're too old? - Maybe I am, but you're certainly not:
[ Wilma ] Looks like you've got an apology coming, Major Cooper:
Noah?
[ Wilma ] Come in, Major Cooper:
Noah, why don't you answer me?
They're gone:
Welcome:
Welcome home:
I just heard: You destroyed the base: Congratulations, gentlemen:
Buck, Colonel: You should've sent me a subspace message:
I'd have had all the Federation leaders here to meet you:
All of Earth is eternally grateful: Glad to hear it:
Well, who is this we have here?
Doc, this is Alicia:
[ Buck ] We picked her up on the way back:
It's a long story:
I've very pleased to meet you:
Where's Noah and the Twains?
The base went up like a 50-megaton bomb:
[ Chirping ]
[ Theo ] We brought something Major Cooper asked for:::
to be given to you on your return:
Twiki? Thank you, Twiki:
[ Chirping ]
[ Wilma ] Silver Eagles:
Of course you'll be reinstated to full active duty as soon as possible:
Thank you, sir: Thank you:
[ Man On P:A:] Ready approach on Tube 1 0 1:
What's coming in at this hour?
Sixth-ninth squadron, cleared for approach: Did he say 69th?
[ Noah ] Sorry about being late:
- Noah? - Where'd he come from?
We got blown all the way back up into the asteroids:
We had a little trouble gettin'home, but we're all fine:
[ Chirping ] Hot stuff!:
Ya-hoo!
If Dizzy "D'"is around:::
ask her if she still thinks I'm too old for this sort of thing:
Harriet: Oh, thank you:
Eli: Cheers: Cheers:
I took it upon myself to update the Directorate's annual physical fitness test:
I hope you don't mind: No, not at all:
You saved me the trouble of doing it myself: Isn't that so, Dr: Theopolis?
Yes, indeed: [ Chirping ] You wanna dance, Wilma?
Thank you, no, Twiki:
Nuts!
Where's Buck? He's late for his own party:
He had some business at the Registry: I think he's trying to find Alicia's parents:
He couldn't pull off a miracle like that, could he?
He could:
I know you're all wondering where I've been:
Five years ago, this young lady was kidnapped from her family:
May I present them to you? [ Lucky Barking ]
You've been busy, haven't you? I certainly have:
I also dropped by the Medical Directorate:
Alicia's scheduled for electronic surgery next month:
With a little retraining, she'll be able to hear in no time: [ Chirping ]
That's nice!
She's gonna have some adjusting to do:
Say, big fella, would you like to dance? Sure, why not?
Great! Twiki, I just found you a dance partner:
Buck, can I lead?
