“Vanished” quotes from JAG

(speaking to Bud while he is eating a doughnut) Doughnut?

Bud

Power-nut.

Excuse me?

Bud

Not you, sir. The doughnut.

The earliest recorded disappearance of a United States vessel inside the Bermuda Triangle goes way back to March, 1918. The USS Cyclops vanished without a trace.

Same thing's been known to happen to superstitious lieutenants.

He may still be out there somewhere, Mac.

Commander Douglas or your father?

Commander Douglas. You think I'm obsessing about my dad since I found that list, don't you?

No. You were obsessing before you found the list. And you have every right, Harm. Learning the North Vietnamese sent him to Russia only intensified it. I just hope you realize that if we find Commander Douglas, it isn't gonna give you closure with your father.

Only finding my dad will do that.

Well, you're not alone, Harm. In one way or another, we're all searching for something.

What every woman wants. A great career, a good man, and comfortable shoes, lots and lots of them.

Is that where Dalton Lowne comes in?

Are you kidding? His shoes are way too big. I mean, have you see the size of that man's feet?

I just hope you're not gonna do something stupid, Mac.

Why, Harm, are you afraid you're gonna lose me?

I just...hate having to break in new partners, you know?

You know, for a second there, I thought we were gonna have a Hallmark moment.

You know when the Admiral first told me he was partnering me with a Marine major I had these visions of a tattooed, jarhead, challenging me to arm wrestling at lunch hour.

Well, I do have a tattoo, I'm a pretty good arm wrestler, and although I don't like the term, I am technically a jarhead.

[back pedaling fast] I'm afraid that's classified information, Commander.

Bud

Even when they tell you something, they reserve the right to change their mind at any time. It's that woman's prerogative thing. I mean, what's up with that?

I hate that. God, I hate that.

Bud

Yeah, it's like, I asked Major MacKenzie if she was gonna be leaving JAG, you know, because I've seen the way she looks at Dalton Lowne. And she said no. But she could change her mind at the drop of a hat.

She's not going anywhere, Bud.

Bud

You know, I'm sure Lieutenant Pike and Lieutenant Austin told you the exact same thing before they transferred. I mean, let's face it, commander, you've had lousy luck with women. [Realises he's put his foot in his mouth.] Partners. The female JAG officers you've been with... in... the workplace... sir.

Never underestimate the integrity of a Naval aviator.
