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 1987,
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 1800 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 12 hours to equip these sleds with tail gun turrets...
another 12 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, 155 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 101.
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?
