Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - 01x15 Happy Birthday, Buck

Summary: Buck has been moping about, pining for the Earth he once knew and can never know again. So when Twiki suggests a surprise birthday party, Dr. Huer and Wilma agree. Their problem then becomes how to get Buck out of his apartment while they set it up. That proves easy enough when the Security Directorate sends a courier for Dr. Huer's itinerary: they ask Buck to escort her back to the Directorate, which is concerned about a possible threat to Huer's life. But the threat is very real and the source of it a very bitter and dangerous man, who has been cooped up in prison underground for nearly fifteen years - and blames Huer for it!

Episode Quotes

Buck Rogers: Well, you got a real winner there, Princess. When are you gonna teach him to walk and chew gum at the same time?

Capt. William "Buck" Rogers: You guys fighting or dancing?
Guard: You're insulting a Draconian soldier, Earth trash.
Capt. William "Buck" Rogers: Oh, is that what you call yourselves. I'd show you how to use those toys but you probably bruise easily, and besides I like a good fight.
Guard: Earth trash! Come feel the sting of a Draconian soldier's stun-stick!

Twiki: Oops, that smarts. Nice work, champ, they never laid a glove on you.
Capt. William "Buck" Rogers: Some days the magic works.

Twiki: [crestfallen] And some days it doesn't.

Princess Ardala: Captain Buck Rogers, meet Captain Buck Rogers.

Buck Rogers: Something you threw together in crafts class, Princess?
