Transcript

CAG: I thought you should know, the Captain has recommended that you be transferred to the Black Widow squadron and promoted to First Lieutenant.

CASEY: I don't deserve it, Sir.

CAG: I'm sorry, Lieutenant?

CASEY: I said, I don't deserve it.

CAG: And why is that, exactly?

CASEY: Blair...

CAG: No, Blair knew the risks. Your team takes that same risk everytime you go out there. There was nothing else you could've done. Nothing. Thanks to you, and Blair, the relay transmitter has been repaired and we've sent a warning to Confed HQ. Now, Mr. Casey, what I want you to do is stow your gear and head to pilot country. You need a break. Its either that or Medical. That's an order. Please. Damn you, Christopher Blair.

MAESTRO: Yeah. There you go, just take one of those right there. That's for you, Capp. That's for you, Lisa. Go right ahead. And there you go. Enjoy! We'll just top it off for me. Hey! Casey! There he is, my little boy. Making his mama Maestro so proud.

CASEY: Why?

MAESTRO: Why?! Obviously, you haven't heard. We've been promoted to the highest-coveted Black Widow squadron! Yes!

CASEY: Has Stiletto heard?

MAESTRO: Has Stiletto... Who cares? She's probably on a pack of ice somewhere. She's not our boss anymore!

CASEY: Rachel?

MAESTRO: Rachel. Yes! Hi, good to see you. How are you? Would you like a drink?

RACHEL: I would love one.

MAESTRO: Here you go.

RACHEL: Thank you.

MAESTRO: Join the celebration. Well. To good friends.

RACHEL: To very good friends. Maestro, do you mind if I borrow Casey for a little while?

MAESTRO: Enjoy! Come on. Yeah, this man needs a drink. Hi.

MANIAC: You know, I don't get it. I'm a great guy, you know? I'm the best pilot in Confed. People look up to me. So tell me this. Why is it I can never get the girl? I mean, do some guys have all the luck? Or is it just me?

MAESTRO: It's you.

HAWK: Chief, sorry to interrupt. The CAG would like your analysis of the spy eye data that came in from T'lan Meth.

RACHEL: Just when things were getting interesting. All right, I'm on it. All right. Thanks.

CASEY: Spy eye data?

RACHEL: Yeah, from the probes that we launched into the nearby systems in our sector. They're our eyes and ears right now.

CASEY: Can I help?

RACHEL: No, you're sweet. Besides, you should stay with your friends tonight. There'll be another time. I'm proud of you, Flyboy.

MAESTRO: You know what? Here. Bottle's on me. I'll see you later.

MANIAC: Thanks!

INT. FLIGHT DECK

A very morose Casey walks up the ramp and check his stats. ND
TECHS move from place to place on the deck. The CAG appears
behind Casey. She knows he feels badly.

CAG

I thought you should know--the

Captain has recommended you be

transferred to the Black Widows

squadron...and promoted to First

Lieutenant.

Casey barely acknowledges her. We can see the agony in his
face.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

CASEY

I don't deserve it, Sir.

CAG

I'm sorry, Lieutenant?

CASEY

(strongly)

I said, I don't deserve it.

CAG

And why is that, exactly?

CASEY

--Blair... I--

CAG

Bair knew the risks. Your team

takes that same risk every time you

go out there. There was nothing

else you could have done. Nothing.

(beat)

Thanks to you--and Blair--the relay

transmitter has been repaired and

we'v sent a warning to Confed HQ.

Casey still doesn't look convinced.

CAG

Now, Mr. Casey, what I want you to

do is stow your gear and head to

Pilot Country. You need a break.

Casey tries to object. She cuts him off.

CAG

It's either that or

Medical...That's an order. (beat)

Please?

Casey nods and exits. The CAG watches him go. Once he's gone,
we can see how much she misses Blair.

CAG

Damn you, Christopher Blair.

INT. REC ROOM (THIS MOVIE PLAYS REQUIRED)

A cork flies off a bottle of champagne. Rack focus to the Rec
Room doors opening. Maestro, wearing sunglasses, sees Casey
enter. Maestro al=roaches, rDuts his arm around Casey and
escorts him through the crowd, talking all the way.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

MAESTRO

There he is...my little boy.

CASEY

What?

MAESTRO

Making his mama Maestro so proud.

CASEY

WHAT ! ! ?

MAESTRO

Obviously you haven't heard yet.

We've been promoted to the most-

coveted Black Widow squadron.

Casey catches Maniac's eye on the other side of Rec Room. It's
the first time they've seen each other since their run- in
Maniac takes a step towards him--then Rachael crosses towards
Casey--and Maniac abruptly steers for the bar.

Rachael, carrying a bottle of old Brandy, reaches Casey.

CASEY

(smiling)

Rachael?

MAESTRO

She popped in as soon as she heard.

And brought us this kind offering.

(re: bottle)

TA-DA!

He hands Casey an empty glass.

RACHAEL

(filling their cfasses)

Allow me gentleman.

MAESTRO

To good friends.

RACHAEL

To very good friends.

Casey catches a glint in her eye. They raise their glasses
together.

CASEY

Where's Stiletto?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2)

MAESTRO

Sharpening her claws, no doubt.

Who cares? She's not our boss

anymore.

RACHAEL

(not taking her eyes

off of Casey)

Maestro, all right if I "borrow"

Casey for a little while?

MAESTRO

Enjoy!

Rachael leads Casey off. We follow Maestro over to the Bar,
where he joins Maniac, who notices Casey and Rachael, talking
closely and lauching.

MANIAC

I don't get it, I'm a great cuy.

Best pilot in Confed. People look

up to me. So why is it I never,

ever get the girl? I ask you, do

some guys have all the luck? Or is

it just me?

Maniac takes a drink. Maestro looks of- for a second, pondering
this, turns back and then--

MAESTRO

It's you.

Maniac sprays his drink. This was not the answer he was looking
for. In the BG, Hawk enters the room, then heads for Rachael
and Casey.

HAWK

Chief, sorry to Interrupt. The CAG

would like your analysis of the spy

eye data that came in from T'lan

Meth.

She sighs and cuts a look at Casey.

RACHAEL

And just when it was getting

interesting...

(to Hawk)

I'm on it.

Hawk nods and heads to the bar.

CASEY

Spy eye data?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (3)

RACHAEL

From the probes we've launched into

the nearby systems in this sector.

They're our eyes and ears right

now.

CASEY

Can I help?

RACHAEL

(shakes her head)

You're sweet. Besides, tonight you

should stay with your friends.

Another time. (whispers) I'm proud

of you, Flyboy.

She kisses him on the cheek and leaves. He watches her go for a
moment, then his gaze goes out the window.

INT. MIDWAY FLIGHT DECK BY DECONTAM CHUTE

Casey is surprised to find the CAG waiting for him.

CAG

Thought you should know, Casey... the

Captain has recommended you for the

Space Cross. And a promotion to the

Black Widows squadron.

Casey responds only with silence. The CAG raises an eyebrow; this is not the reaction she expected.

CAG

You have a problem with medals and

promotions, Lieutenant?

CASEY

Only when I don't deserve them. I just

lost Colonel Blair...

The CAG places a comforting hand on Casey's shoulder.

CAG

Thanks to you -- and Blair -- the relay

transmitter has been repaired and a

warning sent to Earth. Millions of

lives may have been saved this day.

(beat)

You really believe you have something

to be ashamed of?

Casey still has no answer for this. Then CAG gestures toward the chute.

CAG

Head down to Pilot Country and try to

relax. This war is far from over.

She EXITS.

(CONTINUED)

ACT TWO--SERIES E STRIKE

INT. REC ROOM (Required)

Rachae, Maestro and Maniac see Casey as he enters.

MAESTRO

There he is, the man of the hour.

CASEY

What?

Maestro goes to him with an empty glass and escorts him to the group,
talking all the way.

MAESTRO

Oh, maybe you haven’t heard yet. We

have been promoted to the most-coveted

Black Widow squadron. And that includes

you..

He leads him to Rachael, waiting with an old bottle of Brandy.

CASEY

(Surprised)

Rachael?

MAESTRO

Your mistress of the hour...Enjoy!

RACHAEL

Let me fill your glass.

CASEY

Does this mean we’re friends?

RACHAEL

Well, that depends...

CASEY

On what?

RACHAEL

If you can handle other things like you

handle your ship...

She puts his glass down and they leave the Rec Room. Casey high signs him.
Manaic looks up, astonished.

MANIAC

Oh..oh..look at that.. The lucky plebe

get’s the promotion AND get’s the girl.

MAESTRO

Jealous, Maniac?

MANIAC

Jealous nothing. Beginners luck, that’s

all. Pour me a drink.

They run into Hawk as he ENTERS.

HAWK

Chief -- the CAG is wondering when

she'll have your analysis of the spy

eye data that just came in from T'lan

Meth.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2)

RACHEL

I'm on it.

Hawk heads to the self serve bar as Casey gives Rachel a questioning look.

CASEY

Spy eye data?

RACHEL

From the probes we've sent out into

nearby systems in this sector. Luckily,

No sign of our alien friends so far.

CASEY

Well, we’d better get to work.

RACHAEL

Priorities, Mr. Casey. I always think

better after a strenuous workout.

They exit.
