- Admiral Albert Jethro 'A.J.' Chegwidden: I'm getting doors slammed in my face all over town! I've got a weapons program manager telling me DSD is not my concern! But I've got people in the field, JAGs that I support, so I keep pressing, hoping to find the truth; so you can imagine my chagrin when I learned that not one, but TWO of my officers have been caught TRESPASSING!
- Lt Commander Harmon 'Harm' Rabb Jr: I am sorry, Admiral. We were following an unidentified... aircraft, sir, that we believe to have been involved in the crash.
- Maj. Sarah 'Mac' MacKenzie: Unidentified aircraft, as in UFO?
- Admiral Albert Jethro 'A.J.' Chegwidden: You're spending too much time in the desert with Lieutenant Roberts!
- Lt Commander Harmon 'Harm' Rabb Jr: Palmer!
- [as Palmer turns, Harm punches him with no warning]
- Lt Commander Harmon 'Harm' Rabb Jr: [By way of explanation to Col. Barrett:] I owed him that, Colonel.
- Col. Ron Barret: [to himself] Damn! And *we* get the bad reputation!
- Admiral Hercules Elgin: [Angrily] You wanna cross swords with *me*, Chegwidden? 'Cause if we get into this, you might just find yourself fighting to keep the bars on your sleeve.
- Admiral Albert Jethro 'A.J.' Chegwidden: [With ironic smile] Well... I never met a SEAL yet, didn't like a good bar fight... sir.
