Who's in control of that bucket o'bolts?

Some guy by the name of Ted Striker, sir.

Ted Striker... We were close... until...

Lt. Pervis

Until, sir?

Buck Murdock

Until that day over Macho Grande.

Lt. Pervis

Over Macho Grande, sir?

Buck Murdock

No, I'm afraid I'll never get over Macho Grande.

Buck Murdock

Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

Buck Murdock

Oh, cut the bleeding heart crap will ya? We've all got our switches, lights, and knobs to deal with, Striker. I mean, down here there are literally hundreds and thousands of blinking, beeping, and flashing lights, blinking, beeping and flashing - they're flashing and they're beeping. I can't stand it anymore! They're blinking and beeping and flashing! Why doesn't somebody pull the plug?

Buck Murdock

We'd better get to the tower, Lieutenant.

Lt. Pervis

We have no tower, sir.

No tower?

Lt. Pervis

Just a bridge, sir.

Buck Murdock

Why the hell aren't I notified about these things?

Buck Murdock

Striker, you get that ship down... and down safe... [a giant money safe crashes to the floor behind Murdock] ... and there just might be a few of us who will forget about Macho Grande.
