Confrontation Amidst Imminent Danger
Flash Gordon:
I demand to see the governor! I can hardly breathe in this thing!
Klytus:
Yes... you don't look well. And I'm told you refused your final meal. The chef will be upset...
Flash Gordon:
Tell em to go to hell!
Klytus:
Maybe just as well. Gas works more quickly on an empty stomach. Any final requests?
Flash Gordon:
Yes, let me see Dale. Right away.
Klytus:
Oh, dear. How pathetic. Yes, I anticipated that.

A Kingdom Offered in a Desperate Bargain
The Emperor Ming:
You want to destroy me.
Flash Gordon:
It's the only way to save Earth.
The Emperor Ming:
What if l granted you a kingdom?
Flash Gordon:
If you what?
The Emperor Ming:
Ming the Merciless, ruler of the universe, offers Flash Gordon of Earth a kingdom of Mongo, to rule over as his own.
Flash Gordon:
You're crazy. Why would you do that?
The Emperor Ming:
Because I've never before met your like. You're a hero, don't you see that? Who better to rule a kingdom? Your moon is very close now. Earth's end might come within hours.
Flash Gordon:
You'd call off the attack?
The Emperor Ming:
I could.
Flash Gordon:
Everyone would be saved?
The Emperor Ming:
Yes... and no. After the earthquakes and tidal waves, they won't be quite the human beings you remember. They'll be more flexible. Easier for you to rule, in the name of Ming.
Flash Gordon:
You mean slaves.
The Emperor Ming:
Let's say they'll be satisfied with less.

The Emperor's Judgment on Ignorance and Danger
The Emperor Ming: [leans forward, smiling; leans back again]
Every thousand years, I test each life system in the Universe. I visit it with mysteries, earthquakes, unpredicted eclipses, strange craters in the wilderness... If these are taken as natural, I judge that system ignorant and harmless - I spare it. But if the Hand of Ming is recognized in these events, I judge that system dangerous to us. I call upon the great god Dyzan, and for his greater glory... and for our mutual pleasure... I destroy it utterly.
Dr. Hans Zarkov:
You're saying... it's my fault the Earth is being destroyed?
The Emperor Ming: [grinning]
Precisely... Doctor!

Emperor Ming Considers Earth as a Target
The Emperor Ming:
Klytus, I'm bored. What plaything can you offer me today?
Klytus:
An obscure body in the S-K system, Your Majesty. The inhabitants refer to it as the planet... Earth.
The Emperor Ming:
How peaceful it looks.
Klytus:
Most effective, Your Majesty. Will you destroy this, uh, Earth?
The Emperor Ming: [laughs evilly]
Later. I like to play with things a while... before annihilation.
