Dr. Hans Zarkov: We are only interested in friendship. Why do you attack us?
The Emperor Ming: Why not? Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror.
Trivia: The tree person that gets locked into the cage with Flash (Fico by IMDB credit list), that "stole" the key to the cage, is Richard O'Brien, who is known for creating the Rocky Horror Show.
