Transcript
2ND LIEUTENANT TROY "CATSCRATCH" CARTER: It just gets worse. I know I had my doubts back in Masa, but... defecting to the enemy? I don't understand it, sir. Maniac was showin' me the ropes. Captain Eisen? I looked up to him. Card player Vagabond? What got into them?
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: I don't know.
2ND LIEUTENANT TROY "CATSCRATCH" CARTER: Well, you've known them a long time, sir.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: I said, "I don't know."
2ND LIEUTENANT TROY "CATSCRATCH" CARTER: Should we have gone with them?
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Look, confusion is part of being a rookie, but don't lose sight of one very important fact: mankind owes its freedom -- its very survival -- to the Confederation. If we don't stick together, we fall apart.
2ND LIEUTENANT TROY "CATSCRATCH" CARTER: Sooner or later, people will stop calling me rookie. I'll be one of the vets. I always thought it would get easier then. But it just gets harder, huh?
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Soon as you know that in your gut -- and accept it -- that's when you stop being a rookie.
