- King Zarkon: I conquered the people of Nimone and made them my slaves. I need the valuable minerals on that planet. Now a slave has escaped. If he reaches the Voltron Force, that mighty robot will come to their aid. And that fool nephew of mine, i knew I should never have put him in charge of Planet Nimone!
- [not seeing that Cova's eyes glowed before he started yowling]
- King Zarkon: And you are not so wise, either.
- Hunk: [Jai's spaceship crash-lands in the lake and he ends up floating to the surface] Hey, team, it looks like we got some company.
- Princess Allura: What's the matter? Aren't you hungry?
- Jai: I can't eat. Not while my people are starving. I came here to get help for a desperate planet.
- Princess Allura: But first, you have to rest, and build up your strength. Then we can talk.
- Jai: I *have* no time. Every minute we waste could mean a life.
- Keith: It's far, but worse than that it's a *dangerous* trip, filled with magnetic fields, black holes, and meteors. And if we *do* go, Coran, we'll be leaving Planet Arus undefended.
- Coran: Just the way Zarkon would like it, I'm afraid.
- Hunk: Maybe it's all a trick.
- Jai: [comes to the door] It's no trick! My people need help, really!
- Princess Allura: Jai, you should be in bed.
- [runs over]
- Jai: Princess, I beg you to help. Voltron is the only one that can save us.
- [looks up from where he leans against the doorway]
- Princess Allura: First I must have further discussions with Coran.
- [lowers head]
- Princess Allura: My adviser.
- Jai: Discussions? You want to talk, while the slavemaster's whip punishes my people? While they're starving and suffering. If you won't help us, nobody will. We have nowhere else to turn.
- [sags forward against her, who has her hands on his shoulders, while Keith shakes his head in sympathy]
- Princess Allura: Friends, I believe in my heart he tells the truth.
- Haggar: Aren't people buried up to their necks in sand a delightful sight!
- Commander Yurak: You never disappoint me, Haggar. Spoken like a true witch.
- [last lines]
- Keith: The people of Nimone are safe and free again. And whenever any world across the vastness of space is threatened with injustice or cruelty, good people everywhere can rest assured there is one who will always be ready to help: Voltron, Defender of the Universe.
- Haggar: [seeing Voltron enter the atmosphere] It's Voltron!
- King Zarkon: Voltron?
- Keith: Form Blazing Sword!
- [Voltron forms the Blazing Sword and destroys part of King Zarkon's statue]
- Tal: Voltron's here!
- Male Slave: We're saved!
