Transcript

CHIEF TECH ROBERT "PLIERS" SYKES: �Finally feels like we're on the right track, kid. Damn shame about that boy. Helluva job he did. So... how'd you like a little extra punch on board for your next mission?

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: I'm listening.

CHIEF TECH ROBERT "PLIERS" SYKES: �Well, we can bang the metal a coupla places, open up a little more space, maybe squeeze in another missile or two. Might take a couple clicks off the old speedo, but it sure would be nice to have an ace-in-the-hole, eh? Whadd'ya say?
