Harm and Mac in “Rules of Engagement: Part 2”

So how was your trip?(sees her rank) Lieutenant colonel? (salutes) Ma'am.

Well, this just happened. I was gonna tell you.

My heartiest congratulations, ma'am.

Thank you, commander. At ease. Can we get to work now? I could really use your help on this investigation. You know, the Russians are screaming bloody murder. The Pentagon doesn't know whether to go to war or dig a hole in the sand.

Well, I'm no longer with the JAG Corps, ma'am. I'm an aviator.

Oh, so you're not one of us, you're one of them.

I will, of course, obey any lawful orders that you give me, ma'am.

I will try to keep them all lawful, then.

Aye, aye, ma'am.
