(I spent many days in the summer of '83 at the beach, listening to the soundtrack with all its juicy dialog excerpts. At this point, I like to think most of it is encoded in my genetic structure, so from memory — and PLEASE bust my balls if it's not verbatim):
MING: Klytus, I'm bored. What plaything can you offer me today? KLYTUS: An obscure body in the SK system, your Majesty. The inhabitants refer to it as the planet… Eaarth. MING How peaceful it looks! [sound effects as ring activates earthquakes, hot hail and other disasters; thunder/explosions, then laughter] KLYTUS [overlapping laughter]: Most effective, your Majesty! Will you destroy this… Eaarth? MING: Laytah, I like to play with things a while… before annihilation. [more thunder, fading to kick drum drum intro to Flash's Theme]
I always wondered if Queen were listening to this, their previous soundtrack work, while making the songs for Highlander. Because of the "Who wants to live forever" line carrying over.
VOLTAN: Impetuous boy! Oh, well, who wants to live forever? [Brian Blessed laugh] DIIIVE!
MING: Klytus, I'm bored. What plaything can you offer me today?
KLYTUS: An obscure body in the SK system, your Majesty. The inhabitants refer to it as the planet… Eaarth.

MING: Laytah, I like to play with things a while… before annihilation.
