COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: So, you still living up to that callsign of yours?

1ST LIEUTENANT WINSTON "VAGABOND" CHANG: A man can do okay, 'long as he doesn't stay in one place too long. Course, I had to get greedy: stayed in the active reserve. All those monthly credits seemed like free money.

Blair shakes his head "no". vagabond cuts the deck anyway and peels off two cards: one for blair, one for himself: Blair would have won.
