Transcript

CAG: Unless we shut down the shields on that last tower...

WILFORD: Casey's wing can't close the gate.

MAESTRO: And an entire enemy fleet will jump in our laps.

BLAIR: We're just going to have to pick up where the Marines left off: fly a guy into the command center. He kills the shields, Casey's wing kills the tower.

MANIAC: Oh, I see this coming a mile away. What we need is a bonafide HERO! Excuse me. Any heroes? NO! Any heroes in the room at all?

BLAIR: You're looking at him.

CAG: Now is not the time.

BLAIR: I've done hard time on one of their ships.

CAG: And you're mad as hell and you want to kick some Alien ass!

BLAIR: I'm the best pilot for the job, and you know it. Patricia.

WILFORD: I think we need him. Now.

CAG: All right. But you're taking two wingmen for backup.

MANIAC: Just like old times.

BLAIR: That's what I was afraid of.

options.

CAG

Unless we shut down the shields on

that last tower...

CAPTAIN

Casey's wing can't close the

gate...

MAESTRO

And an entire enemy fleet will::::::::::::::::::::::: jump

fall in our laps.

Blair shrugs, seemingly unconcerned.

BLAIR

We're just going to have to pick up

where the Marines left off; Fly a

man into the Command Center, here.

He kills the shields and Casey's

wing kills the tower.

MANIAC

Oh...I can see this coming a mile

away.

Maniac starts to ham it up, taking a superman stance and then
shielding his eyes in a mock search.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

MANIAC

What we need is a bonified HERO!

Excuse me...are there any heroes in

the house?

BLAIR

You're looking at him.

The CAG starts to raise an objection.

CAG

This is not the time--

BLAIR

(over her)

--AND--I've spent some hard time on

one of their ships. I know how to

find my way around--

CAG

And you're mad as hell and want to

kick some alien ass.

BLAIR

I'm the best pilot for the

job...and you know it.

The Captain puts a hand on the CAG's qhoulder. The gesture
speaks volumes.

CAPTAIN

(to the CAG)

Patricia...I think we need him now.

The CAG is torn. But then relents.
