"Can't?" "Look, I passed your message on to the White House." "Everything's fine, but..." "But what?" "We're not ready." "Look, we've only got Independence at the 80% fuel capacity level, and you're gonna use that to dissipate the storm, and that means pfft." "I understand that." "That's why I'm going on this mission alone." "No, we're going alone." "No, we're not." "You heard what he said." "It may not work." "Now, you're gonna be a new dad." "I can handle this myself."

"He's never even flown the sim." "Not open for discussion." "Gilbert, listen." "I know you helped design the flight systems, but this isn't a simulator." "You've never actually flown a shuttle." "Nobody has ever flown it though a sharknado before." "I'm as qualified as anyone." "Just promise you'll be careful, and keep her in one piece."

"You're going out in space, aren't you?" "Yeah." "Last I checked, those were the only requirements." "And don't worry about all that Buck Rogers stuff they talk about."
