Lyn Osborn: Cadet Happy

Quotes 

• Cadet Happy : Smokin' rockets, Commander, what's that?

  Cmdr. Buzz Corry : That's Manza.

  Cadet Happy : Manza? But that's just a bunch of crystals.

  Cmdr. Buzz Corry : A colony of crystals, Happy.

  Cadet Happy : But Commander, I don't see how a bunch of rocks could have intelligence, let alone life.

  Cmdr. Buzz Corry : Why not, Happy? In our solar system, carbon and its compounds are the basis for protoplasm, the essential substance of our bodies. Why not a silicon-based life form in this system?

  Cadet Happy : Well, I can't argue with that, sir. I'm looking at it!

• [last lines] 

  Cadet Happy : Say, you know Commander, that Manza never did really worry me.

  Cmdr. Buzz Corry : Oh he didn't, Hap? Why not?

  Cadet Happy : Well, he didn't bother me because I could see right through Manza from the very beginning!

  [Happy holds up the large crystal and laughs] 

  Cadet Happy : Look, see. You see, I can see - I can...

  [Corry rolls his eyes as Happy lifts the crystal in front of his face]
