Sir.
ADM Shane
What is it?
LCDR Alex Hopper
I want you to know... that I am in love with Sam. And I am asking your permission to marry your daughter.
ADM Shane
[Admiral Shane thinks for a moment.]
No.
LCDR Alex Hopper
Thank you sir, I mean it's...what?
ADM Shane
No.
LCDR Alex Hopper
Sir...I saved the world!
ADM Shane
Saving the world is one thing, Hopper. My daughter is quite another.
LCDR Alex Hopper

ADM Shane

LCDR Alex Hopper

ADM Shane
[Admiral Shane stops and turns back, smiling a little.]
Come along, Hopper. We'll discuss the terms of your surrender over a meal.
LCDR Alex Hopper
[Smiling in relief]
Yes, sir. [As the two walk off] She told you about that, huh?
