It turns out that this is yet another quirk of Command's English localization, as Panther speaks normally in first-person in the Japanese script just as he did in Assault.

• Panther will make you late for your hot date!
• Panther is sick of seeing your face!
• You can't value your life very much if you fight Panther!

However, re-translating the original Japanese text will reveal:
• デートの時間に 遅れちまう! (I'm going to be late for my date!)
• お前らの顔は もう見飽きた (I'm tired of seeing your faces.)
• 俺と戦おうなんて 命知らずめ! (You dare to fight me, you daredevil!)
• お前らの顔は もう見飽きた (I'm tired of seeing your faces.)
• 俺と戦おうなんて 命知らずめ! (You dare to fight me, you daredevil!)

KRYSTAL: Wolf! Panther! Leon! Thank goodness you're not hurt!
WOLF: It was a barrel of laughs, princess! Although I think the old Panther's feeling a bit heartbroken!
PANTHER: It was a pleasure for Panther, too, darling! Your feelings...Panther understood them, but...
KRYSTAL: Panther! I...
PANTHER: Panther does not believe you were using him!
LEON: Har! Then what were you crying about earlier, eh, loverboy?
WOLF: We'll meet again, Star Fox!
PANTHER: Farewell, my sweet Krystal. You will return to us one day. This... Panther believes!
WOLF: It was a barrel of laughs, princess! Although I think the old Panther's feeling a bit heartbroken!
PANTHER: It was a pleasure for Panther, too, darling! Your feelings...Panther understood them, but...
KRYSTAL: Panther! I...
PANTHER: Panther does not believe you were using him!
LEON: Har! Then what were you crying about earlier, eh, loverboy?
WOLF: We'll meet again, Star Fox!
PANTHER: Farewell, my sweet Krystal. You will return to us one day. This... Panther believes!
Here's this same conversation re-translated from the Japanese script.
KRYSTAL: 無事でよかったわ… ウルフ パンサー レオン (I'm glad you're all safe... Wolf, Panther, Leon.)
WOLF: 楽しかったぜ! お嬢ちゃん パンサーの野郎は悲しんでるけどな! (That was fun, princess! Panther guy might be feeling down, though!)
PANTHER: 俺も楽しかったよハニー! 君の気持ちは分かっていたけどね…… (I had fun too, honey! I knew how you felt, though...)
KRYSTAL: パンサー!! 私… (Panther!!! I...)
PANTHER: 利用されたなんて思ってないぜ! (I never thought I was being used!)
LEON: ククク…強がり言っちゃって… (Hehehe... putting up a tough front...)
WOLF: またどこかで会おう! スターフォックス! (Let's meet again somewhere! Star Fox!)
PANTHER: さよならクリスタル… でもいつか君は俺達のもとに帰ってくる そう信じているよ (Goodbye, Krystal...But someday, you'll come back to us. I believe that.)
WOLF: 楽しかったぜ! お嬢ちゃん パンサーの野郎は悲しんでるけどな! (That was fun, princess! Panther guy might be feeling down, though!)
