- Destro: We have the laser core, Commander. Now, what punishment shall we administer to this turncoat?
- Cobra Commander: Punishment? Punishment is the price for failure, and we have not failed. Rise, Zartan.
- Destro: But he stole the laser core!
- Cobra Commander: Which I now have, as well as the other two fragments.
- Destro: But Zartan must be dealt with!
- Cobra Commander: He has been. I forgive him. Now stop sputtering like a wet toaster, and get busy! When the Dominator is operational again, we shall seize control of the world! And this time, none shall oppose us! COBRA!

- Short-Fuse: You guys might think I'm bananas or somethin', but...
- Zap: We know you're bananas, Short-Fuze. What's on your mind?
- Short-Fuse: Couple o' minutes ago when I didn't hear anything?
- Zap: Yeah?
- Short-Fuse: I ain't hearin' it again. I gotta check it out.
