Transcript
CASEY: You look like you've seen a ghost.
MANIAC: Two of 'em: Vanguard and Cantrell. Two rookies I took out today. They pulled a frontal in front of a bunch of Fighter Clusters. Boom! Gone.
CASEY: It happens.
MANIAC: It's never happened to me. All right? I charge a hundred Clusters. I never get a scratch.
CASEY: And you can't see why your luck didn't cover those rookies. It's not about luck, Major. It's about the one thing that matters.
MANIAC: And that is?
CASEY: That you did the best you could to help those rookies survive. Which is all a good squadron commander can ever do.
MANIAC: If that's supposed to make me feel better... it does. Almost.
CASEY: Good. Low bridge!
ANDERSON: [loudspeaker] All pilots to the briefing room! Again, all pilots to the briefing room!
MANIAC: Casey. I, ah... You're welcome.
