Ray Walston: Roderick Zale

Quotes 

• Roderick Zale : Greetings, Mr. President. My name is...

  Hieronymous Fox : Your name is Roderick Zale. Your specialty is political abduction, and your modus operandi sticks out like a sore thumb. Half the galaxy probably knows you're the one who snatched me.

  Roderick Zale : You're as perceptive as I was told.

  Hieronymous Fox : How much you askin' for?

  Roderick Zale : A reasonable price. Six thousand kilograms of pure quadrillium.

  Hieronymous Fox : [snickers]  Ain't know way the Genesians are gonna cough up that much loot, pal. I don't even think we got that much quadrillium on the whole planet.

  Roderick Zale : Then they better find it somewhere or within a week, their technological miracle worker will die.

  Hieronymous Fox : Aw, come on, Zale. I'm worth more to you alive than dead any day of the week. Even if the Genesians don't pay up, you can make a fortune selling my brains to the highest bidder. So don't give me any of that Dr. Doom jive. You better take pretty good care of me if you know what's good for you, starting right now.
