Transcript
MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: Hey, I just caught a peek at that bioconvergence chemist we sprung from Tyr VII.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Bio-what?
MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: Bioconvergence. Try downloading a science update once in a while.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Well, since when are you Mr. Wizard?
MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: Hey, I don't just rest on my laurels like some people I know. Anyway, now I know why they were turning the Border Worlds upside-down looking for this egghead. We are talking fine.
1ST LIEUTENANT WINSTON "VAGABOND" CHANG: Thought you weren't interested in any woman with an IQ higher than a wingnut.
MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: Oh, au contraire, mon frere. Eh, didn't think I knew that stuff, right?
MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: Hey, Maniac does what he has to do, OK. Tonight, I'm boning up on my periodic table of elements -- if you know what I mean.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: So what, you figure her recent trauma makes her that desperate, huh?
MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: It's not unheard of to show a little appreciation to your liberator.
2ND LIEUTENANT TROY "CATSCRATCH" CARTER: This guy is good, Colonel.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: The best. You never show any mercy, do you?
1ST LIEUTENANT WINSTON "VAGABOND" CHANG: I seek only to instruct. The youth seeks wisdom and experience.
2ND LIEUTENANT TROY "CATSCRATCH" CARTER: So what do you think about the new brass that just came aboard?
1ST LIEUTENANT WINSTON "VAGABOND" CHANG: Paulsen? Too many cooks in the kitchen -- always trouble.
