LTJG Meg Austin quotes from JAG

No death is useless, they all serve a purpose. Even if in our grief, it eludes us.

Next time you screw up, you and I are gonna have a little night visit.

Leave her alone.

You want some of me? (Silence) That's what I thought. (to Meg) You straight?

Uh-huh. Are you?

Staff Sergeant Carrington, I'd like you to meet Lieutenant JG Austin,

(Surprised look) Ma'am.

I know it wasn't personal. You were just doing your job.

Yes ma'am, that's because I thought Private McEntire had a future in the military. I just didn't realize how right I was. Ma'am.

My four bits.

I never understood bits.

It comes from the old Spanish dollar, pieces of eight. Two bits to a quarter, four bits, fifty cents, my fifty cents which is in your pocket.

I bet you go Dutch on dates.

You expect the spaceships to be lined up along the tarmac?

Very funny.

Seriously. If there was a race advanced enough to travel millions of light-years to Earth, I truly doubt we could catch them, no matter how much we wanted to.

I counted the beams. There are at least five of them out there.

Five what?

Men. Those are targeting beams.

Targeting beams are red.

Well, maybe they don't like red

Or can't see red.

Cathy, did they come in a, uh…

You can't even say it. A spaceship.

If they did that, they wouldn't be ghosts, they'd be aliens!

How do I write this up, Meg?

By the book.

You really want me to enter that you first thought we were dealing with a UFO full of little green men?

Shut up and drive. Sir.

That's a little crazy even for a Marine.

Nothing's too crazy for Marines.

I'd love to see the faces of the three officers who voted guilty when they hear about this.

No way of knowing who they are.

Oh, I know who they are.

You do?

Hell yes, I do.

How would he know?

He's the CAG!

All they have to do is download five chips and they'll have what makes the Tomcat so lethal.

The pilot?

Your wings are glinting, Commander.

Sir, the Secretary wants to know why we're not turning back.

He told me to land at the nearest field, it's in Cuba.

Harm, he'll have a heart attack!

(over radio) 7-Zulu, I repeat, what is the nature of your emergency?

Havana, 7-Zulu. We have a medical emergency, a passenger is going into cardiac arrest!

I wouldn't flash a yellow, I'd go straight to red around here.

I assume the commander was referring to a stoplight. And this stoplight has something to do with sexual advances?

Why would you think that?

A warning from a man to a woman left alone with another man usually does.

It's part our Navy sexual sensitivity training. It's an inoffensive way to signal a male when his speech or behavior is inappropriate.

The most powerful Navy in the world actually teaches this kindergarten approach to sex?

It works.

Lieutenant...

Sometimes.

And are Navy women permitted to signal green lights?

I suppose so.

And what would I have to do to get a green light, Lieutenant Austin?

Yellow light, Captain Fuente.

I'm afraid your Lieutenant Commander is in for some rough seas.

He's a survivor, sir.

We'll see.

Sir?

Hey, Harm.

Hi, Meg.

How was lunch?
