Transcript
MAJOR JAMES "PALADIN" TAGGART: So here you are, an instructor. Not a general, or a senator. And you could have had everything.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: 'Everything' means I keep flying. So if you ask me, I've got everything.
MAJOR JAMES "PALADIN" TAGGART: I envy you, laddie. At times I wish I had made the same choice myself. So, how's that farm?
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: I'm not a farmer.
MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: I am talking about rolling a bomber, not a fighter. Your kidding! I'm not enrolled in training!
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: You know, of all people, Maniac taught me one thing.
MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: �Hey pal. Senator. What? What?
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Well you said 'either you're an earthworm or an eagle.'
MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: I said that?
COLONEL TAMARA "PANTHER" FARNSWORTH: Hey, Colonel! We've got a fresh batch of newbies to shake down.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: They can wait a bit. I think I'll log some flyin' time.
MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: Senator, about...
MAJOR JAMES "PALADIN" TAGGART: Maniac... Shut up!
