George Peppard: Cowboy

Quotes 

• Cowboy : [after seeing Gelt blast a ship]  Beautiful. I love to see a pro work!

  Shad : He's got a lot of practice. Nell, I think we may have bought ourselves a chance! Let's head to the surface!

• Nestor 1 : [eating a hot dog for the first time]  There's no dog in this.

  Cowboy : Uh-uh.

  Nestor 1 : Hydrolyzed vegetable protein, soybean meal, niacin, dextrose, and sodium nitrate flavoring.

  Cowboy : Yup, that's what we call "meat" back home.

• Nanelia : The Sonar Tank. They're wearing sound baffles in case they get in front of it. Even if we plug our ears, we can't get any closer.

  Cowboy : [to the nearby Kelvin, who are trying to get his attention]  Will you two radiators stand back? It's hard enough to think!

  Nestor 1 : It seems they're volunteering.

  Cowboy : Yeah, what can THEY do?

  Nestor 1 : Well, for one thing, the Kelvin have no ears.

• Cowboy : Welcome, Nestor. I'm from Earth. Ever hear of it?

  Nestor 1 : No, but we are pleased to meet you.

• Cowboy : [to Lux, lovingly]  You pretty thing.

• Cowboy : [upon seeing Gelt's ship approach]  Here comes somebody else. Who's that?

  Shad : [switching over to Gelt]  Do you want your name used?

  Gelt : My name is Gelt.

  Cowboy : Where ya from, Gelt? I'm from Earth. Know where that is?

  Gelt : I was born in space.

  Cowboy : Oh, well, put in between us. I'll cover you.

  Gelt : I don't like anyone behind me.

  Cowboy : Okay, you keep a scanner on our tail.

  Gelt : I always do.

• Shad : Is that real smoke you're putting into your lungs?

  Cowboy : Yup. And before ya ask, it is the worst thing in the world for me.

  Shad : Well, I don't think you should do it.
