In reply to: Rick 's message, "Poll: Favorite Flash Gordon quotes" on 17:39:32 10/22/07 Mon

As stated, there are many great quotes, so many, in fact, that I could go on forever. I agree that the comment by the Clay King that the Forest People, "...are a strange but honest race.." certainly doesn't square with the reality of they're being, as Queen Azura said, "...the most savage nation on Mars".

With that said, here are a few of my favorites:

1) From "Universe" :Ming orders Captain Suden to open the flood control valve but Suden hesitates, questioning Ming's directive. Ming replies, "Are you going to obey?" with all the tyrannical menace that Ming can muster. It's Middleton at his peak form.

2) From "Mars" : Happy Hapgood's comment while sitting imprisoned in the Forest Kingdom's Death Cell, "Just to think, I used to be the best reporter on the New York Dispatch and here I am trying to dig myself out of a hole in the ground on Mars". Who hasn't felt that way at some time?

3) From "Mars" : When Flash addresses the assembled nobles who are to elect Ming as ruler he says, "Ming would have you believe he's your friend. He's nobody's friend but his own".

4) In "FG '36" : After Flash has vanquished me, Prince Barin, in combat Ming states, "He's won the right to fight the mighty Beast of Mongo". Ming just never gives up.

5) And what has to be my all-time favorite, this time from "Universe" after Ming watches the apparent drowning of Flash, Zarkov, and me, his son-in-law, Prince Barin, Ming announces, "I must tell Princess Aura of this interesting event". Ming was always a kindly and considerate father and father-in-law in wishing to keep his daughter well informed, this time of the death of her husband.

And there are dozens of other great lines. They writers must have had great fun thinking up this stuff!
