Prescient dialogue from 1979 film "Flash Gordon" -

Flash: Why would you EVER give me domain over the Earth in exchange for my life?

Ming: Because you're good, Flash. DAMN good. Admittedly, after the earthquakes, floods, and such, they won't be as human as they once were. They'll be ... tractable.

Flash: You mean, they'll be SLAVES!

Ming: Let's just say, they'll be satisfied with less.
