Transcript

CASEY: You okay?

DALLAS: I would be a whole lot better if I had a one-way ticket home. We are in a fine mess.

CASEY: Look, Dallas.

DALLAS: No you look, flyboy. And I will talk very slowly. The Kilrathi were tied up on the Feudal Planets, they've got problems of their own. The Border Worlds were dead quiet what with the Black Lance out of the picture. Things have been pretty cozy around here for some time and the last thing I expected was actually having to fight! I am so hosed.

CASEY: We joined Confed to do a job. There are no guarantees.

DALLAS: Is that supposed to make me feel better?

CASEY: No. Look, I don't know what we're dealing with here but whatever it is, it's gonna have to be stopped. And we're the only ones out this far. So all we have to rely on is each other. That's it! Now, until we get word back to Confed, it's gonna have to be you for me me for you, one hundred percent. got it?

INT. REC ROOM

As Casey joins a tense Dallas the back window.

CASEY

You okay?

DALLAS

I'd be a whole lot better if I had

a one-way ticket home. (beat)

We're in a fine mess...

CASEY

You lost me.

DALLAS

Okay, I'll talk real slow. The

Kilrathi were tied up on the Feudal

Planets--they got problems of their

own. The Border Worlds were dead

quiet with the slack Lance out of

the picture. Things have been

pretty cozy around here for some

time. Last thing I expected was

actually having to fight. I am so

hosed.

CASEY

We're in Confed to do a job. There

are no guarantees.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

DALLAS

Is that supposed to make me feel

better?

CASEY

No...but we have to stop whatever

is going on here. Dallas, listen

to me, we're the only ones out this

far. That means_we can only depend

on each other. That's it.

He pounds Dallas' shoulder with his fist for emphasis.

CASEY (CONT.)

Until we get word back to Confed,

we need to be there for each other,

one hundred percent. You for me

and me for you. Got it?

Dallas appears fortified. As Dallas exits, Casey notices
Stiletto at the bar, looking his way. She's clearly overheard
everything. She raises her glass and smiles a very little bit.
She's de-icing.

INT. MIDWAY REC ROOM

As Casey joins a tense Dallas at the Diamondback table.

CASEY

You look like you need a friend.

DALLAS

What I really need is a one way ticket

home. This mess we're in... talk about

bait and switch.

CASEY

You lost me.

DALLAS

Okay, I'll talk real slow. The Kilrathi

are penned up on the Feudal Planets,

the Border Worlds are dead quiet, and a

career in Confed was supposed to be a

cushy ride to an early pension. Last

thing I expected was actually havin' to

fight somebody! (a sigh) Like I said,

bait and switch.

CASEY

There are no guarantees in this life,

Dallas.

DALLAS

That supposed to make me feel better?

CASEY

No, it's just a reminder we're all in

the same boat... scared stiff, with not

a whole lot of say in what happens

next.

He places a comforting hand on Dallas's shoulder.

CASEY (CONT)

The only thing we can all do is hope

for the best, and keep on flying.

Dallas manages a grin: "Thanks, pal." Casey looks up to see Stiletto has
ENTERED. She's clearly overheard everything; gives Casey an encouraging
smile.

As Casey EXITS into the Ready Room...
