Emperor Staleek and Crichton in “Unfinished Business”

A bargain is struck. However, an agreement requires trust, which thus far has been one-sided. Now you tell me what else you really want.

Crichton

[after a moment's thought] When you wake up, in the morning, on your big Emperor bed and you listen... what do you hear? Do you hear the little Emperor birdies singing outside your window? Do you hear the Emperor wind whistling through the trees? Or do you hear people dying? Do you hear your friends begging for mercy? Do you hear doors being kicked in because people are hunting you? Do you hear the sound of your heart pounding in your ears? What I want, Santa Claus, for the rest of my life... I wanna wake up like an Emperor.

Your safety, guaranteed. In just a few arns.

Crichton

Bill Gates can't guarantee Windows, how can you guarantee my safety?

With great effort... and great sincerity. Though at some point, my largesse will dissipate!
