Quotes 

• Kaitaama : Is your entire species so ill-mannered?

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Nope. Just me.

• Kaitaama : You don't know who I am, do you?

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Should I?

  Kaitaama : My family is known on hundreds of worlds.

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Well, I'm afraid Earth isn't one of 'em.

• Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Don't worry. I won't make a pass at you.

  Kaitaama : The Sovereign Guard would cut off one of your hands.

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Ah, you must be a fun date.

• [Kaitaama returns from the woods with only two handfuls of twigs] 

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : That's the best you could do?

  Kaitaama : There's very little dry wood.

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Keep looking.

  [Kaitaama sits down] 

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : What're you waitin' for?

  Kaitaama : I'm not your servant. *You*'re the one who was raised in a primitive environment. *You* find the wood.

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : What's that supposed to mean?

  Kaitaama : You're obviously better suited to physical labor.

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : In case you haven't noticed, we're not in a palace. You said it yourself, you won't survive without my help, so it seems to me that I'm the one in charge, the king of the swamp! Now get your ass out there and don't come back without an armful of dry wood!

  Kaitaama : I should have you imprisoned for speaking to me that way.

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : You should give me a medal! You'd be dead if it weren't for me.

  Kaitaama : I'm beginning to think that would be preferable!

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : I doubt the commoners back home would complain.

• Kaitaama : Is it edible?

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : [tries the emergency rations]  Well... depends how hungry you are.
