Battle Beyond the Stars (1980)

John Saxon: Sador

Quotes 

• Sador : [Nell self-destructs near "Hammerhead's" stellar converter, which backfires]  ... Monitor the converter axis!

  Dako: Malmori : It's destabilizing, reaching critical! We're all gonna die!

  Sador : That can't be! I'm going to live forever!

  [His dreadnaught begins to disintegrate around him] 

  Sador : ... I wanted to live forever!

  [He vanishes brilliantly, along with "Hammerhead"] 

• [as "Hammerhead", Sador's dreadnaught, is approaching Akir] 

  Yago : This is Akir, a planet of stone with a single green spot.

  Sador : Let's see it. What about their forms?

  Yago : Comparable with ours. They have a solar technology. No known defense capacity.

  Sador : Interesting. Let's check that.

• [Cayman's ship "Zymer" charges "Hammerhead"] 

  Cayman : Sador? This is Cayman of the Lambda Zone. Turn around, you overaged degenerate, and we'll bump heads!

  Sador : What do you make our force field at?

  Yago : A ten-six.

  Sador : And what do you make HIS at?

  Yago : It's an elite Trianzymer - ten-two.

  Sador : Of what form are you, Cayman?

  Cayman : I am of the Lazuli.

  Sador : I thought I had the honor of making that form extinct, long ago! I won't fail this time! Here I come, Cayman of the Lambda Zone

• [in "Hammerhead's" sick bay, Sador prepares himself for surgery] 

  Sador : [intimidatingly]  Are you capable of speech?

  Nestor 2 : [unfazed]  Yes, quite capable.

  Sador : Good. And do you have a high tolerance for pain?

  Nestor 2 : Almost none at all, I'm afraid.

  Sador : How unfortunate for you. How many ships do the Akira have, and what are their capabilities?

  Nestor 2 : If I told you that, it would give you an unfair advantage.

  Sador : This is my surgeon, Dako. Dako is expert at inflicting pain... while keeping the patient alive.

  Nestor 2 : It is good to have skills.

• Yago : [carrying a bag of ashes]  Our emissary has returned from Umateal. They have replied to our ultimatum.

  Sador : And?

  [Yago hands over the bag, which Sador examines] 

  Sador : What's this?

  Yago : It is our emissary, sir. They have... powdered him.

  [Sador throws the bag in a rage, just missing him] 

  Yago : They are a... proud... form!

  Sador : In an hour, they'll be an EXTINCT one, not a trace of them left, not even their dust.

• ["Hammerhead" returns to Akir but cannot find Kalo and Tembo] 

  Sador : Could we POSSIBLY be out of range?

  Yago : Not at all, sir. Something must be wrong.

  Sador : [disgusted]  What's WRONG is that I have an army full of GENETIC MISTAKES! Why can't my mutants be intelligent, like Melye?

  Yago : Well, you can't expect us to measure up to YOU, sir.

  Sador : Don't flatter me! Those two probably slammed their ship into an asteroid.

  Yago : Or they MAY have been shot down.

  Sador : Shot down? How? Akir has nothing to put in the air!

  Yago : Somebody came to help.

  Sador : Help Akir against ME? Hmm! Nobody could be THAT stupid. Not even Kalo and Tembo! OR YOU!

• Sador : Hear me, beings of Akir: I am Sador of the Malmori. I have come with my forces to conquer you. If you resist, I will crush you. I possess a stellar converter, the most powerful weapon in the universe. You cannot resist me. I want your planet to be my colony. Your harvest comes in seven risings of your red giant. I will return then, and you will accept me as your master. If you do not submit, your planet and all life on it will be burned to ash.

• Sador : This is Sador of the Malmori. I command you to surrender.

  Nell : [sarcastically]  I'll surrender, you sorry son of a mutant.
