Tony Oliver: Rick Hunter

Quotes 

• Lisa : Where are we, Lieutenant?

  Rick Hunter : Right where you put us, Commander, in the hands of the aliens!

  Lisa : What? What do you mean?

  Rick Hunter : I mean, that's why we're in this predicament, because of you and your stupid recon mission!

  Lisa : Wait a minute!

  Rick Hunter : And what happened to your pilot in the Cat's Eye?

  Lisa : I'm afraid he was crushed by a fragment.

  Rick Hunter : I'm sorry, Lisa. I really don't mean to be coming down on you this way, but it seems to me that sometimes certain assignments shouldn't be given to women. I mean, they're just too difficult. And believe me, I don't mean it personally.

  Lisa : Oh, no? Listen here, Mister, I can do anything you can do!

  Rick Hunter : [scoffs]  Oh, spare me!

• Lisa : So, now listen... Lieutenant Hunter, I want you to kiss me.

  Rick Hunter : Huh?

  Lisa : I want to get their reaction on my video recorder.

  Rick Hunter : All right then, but why don't you do it with Ben?

  Lisa : Because I'd rather do it with you, Rick.

  Rick Hunter : Then you'd better make it a command.

• Rick Hunter : We're born into this world as Micronians.

  Dolza : Born, did you say?

  Exedore : Yes, but born from what is the question?

  Rick Hunter : Well, from our mothers, what do you think?

  Konda : What is this thing, "mothers"?

  Ben Dixon : That's the parent who's female.

  Exedore : You don't mean... you are actually born from these females?

  Breetai : But how is this possible?

  Ben Dixon : Look, it's like the birds and the bees. It's no big deal. It's just a process of nature. When a female and a male love each other, it just happens.

  Breetai : This love, what is it? How do you express it?

  Ben Dixon : Well, by kissing one another.

  Dolza : And so we are to believe that's how Micronians are made? Why don't we see right now, by having you both kiss one another?

  Rick Hunter : [as he and Ben look at each other]  What? You can't be serious! There's no way I'm gonna kiss him!
