You want to destroy me.

It's the only way to save Earth.

What if l granted you a kingdom?

If you what?

Ming the Merciless, ruler of the universe, offers Flash Gordon of Earth a kingdom of Mongo, to rule over as his own.

You're crazy. Why would you do that?

Because I've never before met your like. You're a hero, don't you see that? Who better to rule a kingdom? Your moon is very close now. Earth's end might come within hours.

You'd call off the attack?

I could.

Everyone would be saved?

Yes... and no. After the earthquakes and tidal waves, they won't be quite the human beings you remember. They'll be more flexible. Easier for you to rule, in the name of Ming.

You mean slaves.

Let's say they'll be satisfied with less.
