Transcript

CASEY: You look like you've seen a ghost.

MANIAC: Two of 'em: Vanguard and Cantrell. Two rookies I took out today. They pulled a frontal in front of a bunch of Fighter Clusters. Boom! Gone.

CASEY: It happens.

MANIAC: It's never happened to me. All right? I charge a hundred Clusters. I never get a scratch.

CASEY: And you can't see why your luck didn't cover those rookies. It's not about luck, Major. It's about the one thing that matters.

MANIAC: And that is?

CASEY: That you did the best you could to help those rookies survive. Which is all a good squadron commander can ever do.

MANIAC: If that's supposed to make me feel better... it does. Almost.

CASEY: Good. Low bridge!

ANDERSON: [loudspeaker] All pilots to the briefing room! Again, all pilots to the briefing room!

MANIAC: Casey. I, ah... You're welcome.
