Col. Muska: The fire of Heaven that destroyed Sodom and Gamorrah in the Old Testament. The Ramanayah referred to it as "Indra's Arrow." The entire world will once again kneel before the power of Laputa.
General: I can only say, "Well done, Muska. You're a credit to our country." As such, you deserve this reward!
[shoots at hologram, to no avail]
General: Huh?
[his gun runs out]
Col. Muska: [menacingly] I have really had enough of your incredible stupidity.
Sheeta: [to the soldiers] Run, everyone!
Col. Muska: [knocking Sheeta aside] You little brat!
[glares with fiendish glee as he raises the crystal over Black Stone]
Col. Muska: Goodbye! Enjoy the ride!
[Observatory floor opens; General and his soldiers fall to their deaths; Muska laughs maniacally]
