Prince Vultan
- Dale Arden: Ming's not unbeatable. With all his men, he couldn't even kill Flash.
- Prince Vultan: [incredulous] Gordon's alive?
- Flash Gordon: Biro's hit! I'm going in after him!
- [flies off]
- Prince Vultan: Grrrr! Impetuous boy!
- Prince Vultan: Ah, well; who wants to live forever?
- Prince Vultan: [laughs heartily, to the Hawkmen] DIVE!
- Prince Vultan: Flash... when the ship hits the forcefield you'll be killed; this is suicide!
- Flash Gordon: No Vultan... it's a rational transaction! One life for billions...
- Luro: They were brave creatures Vultan.
- Prince Vultan: SHUT UP!
- Luro: With respect. The men who rid us of Klytus should not be deserted.
- Prince Vultan: Will you shut up! So. Maybe I'd do it different. If I had it over again.
- Luro: Then FIGHT!
- Prince Vultan: But there's no way I could help a man who's dead!
- Prince Vultan: My thanks to you, Flash.
- Flash Gordon: What for?
- Prince Vultan: For giving an old bird a second chance!
- Prince Vultan: [War Rocket Ajax is under heavy laser fire from Mingo City. Cut to Int. Ajax Cockpit. Flash is at the controls. Vultan is just reaching a ladder to leave] Come on, Flash! Come on! It's time to bail out!
- Flash Gordon: Sorry, Vultan! I'm not coming!
- Prince Vultan: What?
- Flash Gordon: The rocketcycle's gone!
- Prince Vultan: So, come on! I'll carry you!
- Flash Gordon: Bail out, Vultan, before it's too late!
- Prince Vultan: Flash,
- [runs back to Flash]
- Prince Vultan: are you crazy?
- Flash Gordon: The fire's too heavy!
- [pause]
- Flash Gordon: You know we'll never make that opening with nobody at the wheel!
- Prince Vultan: Come on! You'll be blown to pieces, Flash! It's suicide!
- Flash Gordon: No, a rational transaction! One life for billions!
- Prince Vultan: [Vultan grabs Flash's shoulders and shouts] Come on! You'll be destroyed!
- Flash Gordon: [shouts] You loony bird!
- [Pushes Vultan away]
- Flash Gordon: Get outta here! They need you on the ground!
- Prince Vultan: [Vultan holds out his right hand] Well, good bye, Flash! It's been...!
- Flash Gordon: [Flash shakes Vultan's hand] I know! For me too, Vultan!
- Flash Gordon: [Vultan heads back to the ladder and starts climbing] Tell Dale
- [pause]
- Flash Gordon: I know it would've been good!
- Prince Vultan: [shouts] That must be one hell of a planet you men come from!
- Flash Gordon: Not too bad!
- Klytus: The tributes of the Hawkmen will be first.
- Dale Arden: Are we dreaming?
- Flash Gordon: I'd like to think so.
- Prince Vultan: The fabled ice jewel of Frigia; we seized it in battle from the royal crypt.
- Prince Barin: Stop! The ice jewel is our tribute, not Vultan's.
- Prince Barin: Vultan stole it while we were burying our dead on Frigia
- Prince Vultan: Liar!
- Prince Barin: You are a thief!
- Prince Vultan: What?
- Prince Vultan: [Prince Barin draws his sword, preparing to attack Vultan]
- [Vultan raises his clubbed sword]
- Prince Vultan: Aargh!
- Klytus: Put down your weapons! No one, but no one, dies in the palace without a command from the Emperor.
- Prince Barin: Hail, Ming!
- [Barin lowers his sword]
- Prince Vultan: Aargh!
- Klytus: Vultan! You obey, or you sacrifice your daughter.
- [Vultan's daughter emerges, looks at her father]
- Prince Vultan: [lowers his club sword relentingly] Hail, Ming.
- Prince Vultan: [incredulous] What is this?
- Dr. Hans Zarkov: [proud] Humanity.
- Prince Vultan: Madness!
- Dale Arden: [dreamily] Oh, Flash!
- Prince Barin: Listen! There is something finer in this galaxy than Ming's law!
- Prince Vultan: RUBBISH!
