Transcript

LIEUTENANT COLONEL GASH DEKKER: I can't believe you let him go!

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: We're not at war Dekker.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL GASH DEKKER: What? Well then, what the hell have I been doing out there risking my neck? Let me tell you something boss: anybody with Confed is the enemy.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: And let me tell you something. One, you had no orders to go out on your own. And two, it's my decision as to who's a prisoner-of-war here -- declared or otherwise.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL GASH DEKKER: I just think it's mighty suspicious that your buddy the Admiral was trying to make a run for it.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Do you have any idea what kind of hell would rain down on us if we imprisoned a Confed Admiral.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL GASH DEKKER: Well, maybe you're right... maybe. Just mark my words, I think you're going to second guess yourself on this somewhere down the line.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Is that a prediction or a threat?

LIEUTENANT COLONEL GASH DEKKER: Just an observation... from a grunt who's had his head dented too many times anyway.

dekker You may be right there. (beat) But mark my words. See if you don't second-guess yourself on this one down the line.

blair Is that a prediction or a threat?
