JAG Season 1 quotes

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.

That piece of crap will blow your hand off if you pop it, the barrel's full of dirt.

Oh, that's smart, look down the barrel of a loaded pistol.

Top Gun and Snowflake have arrived.

'Be all that you can be.'

That's the Army slogan, Lefty.

Call me T.

I will call you a lot of names, boy, but it will not be 'T'.

CPO Ned Bannon

(of carrier aviation) You still miss it don't you, sir?

Only when I'm back onboard. Or see a jet. Shaving in the morning, in my dreams, eating a pizza, watching a movie…

If I were you, talking hypothetically, of course, I'd be asking for a deal.

Well, I'm not, but since we're talking hypothetically, what would that deal be?

CAG resigns, admits his responsibility, court-martial never happens.

You can go to hell. Hypothetically.

Does the Crusader's profile look anything like that of a MiG?

No it does not.

But that's what the pilot saw. He is in enemy airspace, and having encountered MiGs earlier in the day, his brain turned your Crusader into a MiG.

He was an Air Force pilot.

Gentlemen, since I am not a lawyer, I'll be brief.

Good God, we're dealing with Abe Lincoln.

I am a naval aviator. With 11000 flying hours, 908 of which were in combat. I know gunfire when I see it; I did not imagine it. The Hind was firing at my men while they hung helpless in their chutes. What I did, I would do again without hesitation even if doing so meant ending my naval career. God knows it is not a career I wish to end, that will happen soon enough. But better that than to break the sacred trust between an officer and those he commands to do what ever is in his power to protect them, not only when such action is obvious or politically correct, but even when it is sure to be unpopular and questioned. The day that I can no longer live up to that trust you will not have to ask for my resignation, gentleman, it will be tendered without hesitation.

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!
