Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (TV Series)

Happy Birthday, Buck (1980)

Tim O'Connor: Dr. Elias Huer

Quotes 

• Col. Wilma Deering : Buck's been moping around like that for days. I've done everything short of kidnapping him to get him out of his apartment.

  Dr. Elias Huer : Well, I'm afraid Twiki was right. He's depressed about his upcoming birthday.

  Col. Wilma Deering : But I don't understand what's bothering him. We all get older. Why, he's in better shape than a man half his age.

  Dr. Elias Huer : There are no men half his age.

• Dr. Elias Huer : And this?

  Col. Wilma Deering : A party hat.

  Dr. Elias Huer : A hat?

  Col. Wilma Deering : You wear it on your head.

  Dr. Elias Huer : I most certainly will not.

  Col. Wilma Deering : Oh, Dr. Huer.

  Dr. Elias Huer : Colonel there will soon be dozens of Security Directorate Agents swarming through the building and guarding the entrance downstairs. Perhaps it's academic but if by some small chance an assassin does get into the building after me, I will not be murdered wearing a blue and white plastic cone on my head. It's positively undignified.

  Twiki : [chirping]  Party pooper!

  Dr. Elias Huer : Party pooper? Well, I'm not certain, mind you, but we probably have one of those here too. And this.

  [squeezes party horn] 

• Dr. Elias Huer : Captain Rogers is new here.

  Raylyn Derren : Oh, well, you see, Captain Rogers, top secret data is implanted directly into an IAC's subconscious. Then when I arrive at my destination, Security extracts it from my mind with the psyche probe. I never know the nature of the information.

  Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Which makes it very difficult to get out. Cute.

  Raylyn Derren : What is?

  Capt. William 'Buck' Rogers : Uh, I mean... interesting.

  Raylyn Derren : Mm.
