If you examine the two images carefully, you will notice that some of the generic sailors and soldiers disappeared for a few moments.
I
Dialogue:
Admiral Ledger: But that’s no place for a lady, Flint.
Flint: I will need someone to maintain surviellance on the carrier...
Lady Jaye: And I’m sure you’ll find the right man for
the job.
Everyone: Yo Joe!
Flint: She’s not just a lady, Admiral Ledger - she’s my teammate.
Yo Joe!
Time: 28 seconds
II
Dialogue:
Dusty: Right, handsome. We love to work. Matter of fact, I even
wrote a song about it:
When you slave for a Cobra
it sure is neat
to do your work
to a boogy-woogy beat
just let feet tape and move
while the prisoners groove
with a rodie-dodio-beat
Fatal Fluffy: Work!
Mutt: All right already!
Dusty: We’ve got to get in the control room, find out what’s
going on here and then get word back to earth.
Mutt: Lots of luck. First you’ve got to get past those scuzzy
fuzzies and then there are those knuckle-headed Dreadnoks. Man, even ol’
Junkyard would have trouble slipping through all of the security.
Dusty: I didn’t say it’d be easy, Mutt! Waitaminute! I got an
idea!
Mutt: What is it?
Dusty: Sshh!
Time: 48 seconds
III
Dialogue:
Shipwreck: Faster, Sanke Eyes. Pump faster!
Polly: No visitors!
Time: 7 seconds

are shown out of order); robot tells them to "have a nice day" (a line
from part two, so the shot doesn’t match dialogue)
