What the hell is "Project Elrond?"

I had to make something up.

But "Elrond?"

Because it's a secret meeting.

How do you know that; why does Elrond mean secret meeting?

The Council of Elrond. It's the... it's... it's... from The Lord of the Rings. It's the meeting where they decide to destroy the One Ring.

Teddy Sanders

If we are going to call something Project Elrond, I would like my code name to be Glorfindel.

Okay, I hate every one of you.

Teddy Sanders

I just had to explain to the President of the United States what a bureaucratic felcher is.

I made the mistake of typing it into Google. Don't.

But if something goes wrong?

Then we lose the crew.

So what, we either have a high chance of killing one person, or a low chance of killing six people. How do we make that decision?

We don't. [pointing to Teddy] He does.

Yeah, bullshit. It should be Commander Lewis' call.

Teddy Sanders

We still have a chance to bring five astronauts home safe and sound. I'm not risking their lives.

Let them make that decision.

Teddy Sanders

Mitch, we are going with option one.

You goddamn coward.
