Transcript

1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: Two visual targets dead ahead.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL GASH DEKKER: Someone's in a mighty big hurry to make tracks. Might be interesting to find out just who it is.

1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: Well, long-range comm system is still a little shaky, sir, but give me a minute, and I will raise the Colonel for you.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL GASH DEKKER: They don't pay me to defer decisions, Lieutenant. The Colonel's cleared a path, someone's gotta walk down it.

Shooting Script

A Wing Commander IV shooting script has been digitized from the collection of the University of Texas at Austin. A digital version (extracted below) was posted to Origin's Wing Commander IV website in 1996.

midgame: INTREPID c.i.c. - sosa & dekker -j2ÿÿ Dekker sits in a corner, looking very bored, until ...

ALL the screens and instrument panels suddenly power up.

we realize how quiet it just was on the bridge, as communications chatter resumes with a flurry, and sosa is suddenly traffic controller for a vast number of audio and radar channels.

meanwhile, on the main viewport, something emerges out of the space soup, something we didn't see before...

the jamming obviously worked on a visual spectrum as well, because now we see a confed spacelab... and fleeing from it, a fleet-officer shuttle...

dekker stands up, eyes glued to the viewport.

dekker Somebody's in a mighty big hurry to make tracks.

now his jaw juts.

dekker Be interesting to see who thinks he doesn't belong there...

sosa Long-range comm is still a little shaky, sir -- but if you wait a minute, I think I can raise the Colonel.

dekker They don't pay me to defer decisions, Lieutenant. The Colonel's cleared a path -- somebody's gotta walk down it.

he quickly exits...
