Transcript

CAG: Lieutenant Casey, this is a critical mission for us. After going over the roster, I have decided your wingman will be...

BLAIR: Me! I'll be Casey's wingman.

CAG: I'm not sure this is such a good idea.

BLAIR: You need a seasoned pilot out there. Now, these kids are good, but I'm the best you've got.

CAG: Mr. Casey, you will recap the mission specs with your new wingman. The rest of you are dismissed. Good luck... to you all.

CASEY: Congratulations, Sir.

BLAIR: Don't congratulate me yet, Lieutenant. It's been years since I flew my last mission.

CASEY: Are you kidding, you'll be fine. Besides, it's not every day that a guy gets to fly with a legend.

BLAIR: You know Casey the problem with being a legend is they always expect you to win.

CASEY: Oh, you don't have to win this time, Sir, you just have to try to keep up!

INT. BRIEFING ROOM -- SPECIAL DISMISSAL

The pilots look up from the ICIS.

CAG

Lieutenant Casey, this is a

critical mission for us. After

going over the roster, I have

decided your wingman will be- -

BLAIR (OS)

Me.

Every head turns to see Blair in his flight suit, standing in
the doorway. He continues as he ctes forward.

BLAIR (CONT.)

I'll be Casey's wingman.

This is a major bombshell. As the entire room reacts, Blair
walks cast the podium. The CAG culls him aside.

CAG

(whispering)

I'm not sure this is such a good

idea.

BLAIR

(whispering)

You need a seasoned pilot out

there. These kids may be

good...but I'm the best you've got.

She can't argue with him. She exhales, nods in resignation and
moves to the podium.

CAG

Mr. Casey, you will recap the

mission specs with your new

winaman. The rest of you are

dismissed. Good luck- -

She shoots a Glance at Blair--and almost smiles.

CAG

--to you all...

She exits.

INT. BRIEFING ROOM (BRIEFING ENDER)

Blair watches the CAG go. Casey him and they begin to walk to
the docr. It remains open as the last of the other PILOTS file
out, leaving them alone.

CASEY

Congratulations, Sir.

BLAIR

Don't congratulate me yet,

Lieutenant. It's been years since

I flew my last mission.

CASEY

Are you kidding, you'll be fine.

Besides, it's not often that a guy

gets to fly with a legend.

BLAIR

The problem with being a legend,

Casey, is that you're always

expected to win.

CASEY

You don't have to win this time,

Commodore.

Blair just looks at him, puzzled.. "No?"

CASEY

You just have to try to keep up.

He exits. Blair feels the slap of that one, smiles and nods.
The heat is on.

INT. MIDWAY BRIEFING ROOM MISSION (D1)

CAG (OS)

Settle down, people. We have a lot of

ground to cover, check your ICISs.

The pilots look up from the ICISs.

CAG

(CONT)

This should make it easier for

Lieutenant Casey's Alpha Flight to

escort Colonel Dekker's LC to the

Station.

(more)

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

CAG (Cont'd)

Casey, your wingman will be --

BLAIR

(OS)

Me.

She breaks off to stare at Blair, who has just entered.

BLAIR

(CONT)

I'll be Casey's wingman.

This is a major bombshell. As the entire room reacts, the CAG and Dekker
exchange shocked looks.

DEKKER

But the Captain...

BLAIR

Knows all about it. As he so elegantly

put it; he's sick and tired of seeing

my gloomy face in Flight Ops.

(beat)

I'm back on the line.

He takes a seat beside an astonished Casey.

BLAIR

Loadout specs please. We don't have all

day.

The CAG sighs. What choice does she have?

CAG

Check your ICIS.

INT. MIDWAY BRIEFING ROOM

As Casey starts to leave the Briefing Room, Blair hangs back. Casey gives
him a look.

CASEY

Sir?

BLAIR

It's been years since I flew my last

mission. It's not like riding a

bicycle, you know...

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

CASEY

I think this is where I say you're

gonna do just fine.

BLAIR

Don't try sucking up to the boss, kid.

CASEY

Who, me?

Casey turns to go; Blair stops him.

BLAIR

All kidding aside, watch your six this

trip. Word is a new kind of alien ship

is making things kinda interesting out

there.

CASEY

With you on my wing, I'll be just fine.

BLAIR

Let's hope those don't turn out to be

famous last words.

They grin at each other, then EXIT.
