[Barbarella thanks Mark Hand for saving her from the vicious biting dolls.]

Barbarella:
I'm so grateful for what you've done, I hardly know how to begin to thank you. I'm positive I can get you some sort of recompense from my government. I mean, if— if there's anything you need, or that I can do, please tell me.

Mark Hand:
Well, you could let me… make love to you.

Barbarella:
"Make love", did you say?

Mark Hand:
Yes!

Barbarella:
What do you mean? You don't even know my psychocardiogram!

Mark Hand:
Eh?

Barbarella:
Well, on Earth, for centuries, people haven't made love unless their psychocardiogram readings were in perfect confluence.

. . .

Barbarella:
Do you have any pills?

Mark Hand:
Pills?!

Barbarella:
Oh, never mind. I have some here.

Mark Hand:
Uh, b-b-uh… what is this pill?

Barbarella:
It's an exaltation transference pellet, of course.

Mark Hand:
Hmm. I know nothing of this.

Barbarella:

[She kneels across the chamber from him, stretches out her hand, and closes her eyes.]

Barbarella:
… for one minute, or until full rapport is achieved.

. . .

Mark Hand:
Ah! I don't care for that!

[He points toward the bed.]

Mark Hand:
This! This is what I mean. This! The bed.

Barbarella:
That?! But nobody's done that for centuries! I mean, nobody except the very poor, who can't afford the pills and the psychocardiogram readings.

Mark Hand:
Why not?

Barbarella:
'Cause it was proved to be distracting and a danger to maximum efficiency! And… and because it was pointless to continue it when other substitutes for ego support and self-esteem were made available.
