  • Dark Helmet: How many assholes do we have on this ship, anyway?
  • [Entire bridge crew stands up and raises a hand]
  • Entire Bridge Crew: Yo!
  • Dark Helmet: I knew it. I'm surrounded by assholes!
  • [Dark Helmet pulls his face shield down]
  • Dark Helmet: Keep firing, assholes!

  • Dark Helmet: [playing with his dolls, in Dark Helmet voice] So, Princess Vespa, at last I have you in my clutches, to have my way with you, the way I want to.
  • [in Vespa voice]
  • Dark Helmet: No, no, please leave me alone!
  • [in Dark Helmet voice]
  • Dark Helmet: No, you are mine!
  • [in Lone Starr voice]
  • Dark Helmet: Not so fast, Helmet!
  • [in Dark Helmet voice]

  • Ape #1: Oh, shit. There goes the planet.
  • [watching himself crash into the ship's console while fast-forwarding through Spaceballs: The Movie video cassette]
  • Dark Helmet: No, no, no. Go past this. Pass this part. In fact, never play this again.
  • Dark Helmet: [appearing in the room, lifting up his visor] I can't breathe in this thing.
  • Colonel Sandurz: We're approaching Planet Druidia, sir.
  • Dark Helmet: Good. I'll call Spaceball City and notify President Skroob immediately.
  • Radio Operator: I already called him, sir. He knows everything.
  • Dark Helmet: What? You went over my helmet?
  • Radio Operator: Well not exactly over, sir... more to the side - I'll always call you first, it will never happen again, never, ever.
  • [Helmet gets out his Schwartz ring]
  • Radio Operator: Oh, shit. No, no, no. No, please, please, no.
  • [covering his neck]

  • Dark Helmet: The what?
  • Colonel Sandurz: The what?
  • Dark Helmet: And the what?
  • Radar Technician: You know. The bleeps.
  • [makes bleep sound effect, making a ripple motion with his fingers]
  • Radar Technician: The sweeps.
  • [makes sweep sound. Quivers his face while doing it]
  • Radar Technician: And the creeps.
  • [makes creep sound, making little movements with his fingers]
  • Dark Helmet: [to Colonel Sandurz] That's not all he's lost.
  • Colonel Sandurz: Are we being too literal?
  • Dark Helmet: No you fool, we're following orders. We were told to comb the desert so we're combing it.
  • Dark Helmet: [looking at Mr. Coffee] What's the matter with this thing, what's all that churnning and bubbling, you call that radar screen?
  • Colonel Sandurz: No, sir. We call it,
  • [slaps the machine]

  • [prepairs a cup for Helmet]

  • President Skroob: Did it work? Where's the king?
  • Dark Helmet: It worked, sir. We have the combination.
  • President Skroob: Great. Now we can take every last breath of fresh air from Planet Druidia. What's the combination?
  • Colonel Sandurz: 1-2-3-4-5
  • President Skroob: 1-2-3-4-5?
  • Colonel Sandurz: Yes!
  • President Skroob: That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.
  • Dark Helmet, Colonel Sandurz: [looks at each other]
  • Dark Helmet: So, Lone Starr, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
  • Dark Helmet: [breathes heavily, Darth Vader-style] I can't breathe in this thing!
  • Dark Helmet: You have the ring, and I see your Schwartz is as big as mine. Now let's see how well you handle it.
  • [upon going into "ludicrous speed"]
  • Dark Helmet: My brains are going into my feet!
  • Dark Helmet: Say goodbye to your two best friends, and I don't mean your pals in the Winnebago.
