LELT Elizabeth 'Skates' Hawkes
Can I try, doctor? He knows me.
MBMedical Bay Doctor
Get him talking.
LELT Elizabeth 'Skates' Hawkes
Harm. Harm! Harm. Harm, It's cold down here. And I need you. I can't do it all by myself. Help me Harm, come on, You promised you'd help me. I'm holding you to that. I can't swim very well. You have to help me!
MBMedical Bay Doctor
Temperature's still dropping!
LELT Elizabeth 'Skates' Hawkes
[machine beat] Commander can you hear me!
NNurse
[machine beat] He's bradycardic.
LELT Elizabeth 'Skates' Hawkes
Take that thing off! Take it off!
[Nurse removes oxygen mask]
LELT Elizabeth 'Skates' Hawkes
[getting very close to Harm's face] Save me.
CHCDR Harmon 'Harm' Rabb Jr
[in a faint raspy voice] I'm... trying.
LELT Elizabeth 'Skates' Hawkes
Don't let go. Don't let go!
CHCDR Harmon 'Harm' Rabb Jr
Hi.
LELT Elizabeth 'Skates' Hawkes
Hi yourself. Keep talking!
CHCDR Harmon 'Harm' Rabb Jr
I... can't... breathe.
LELT Elizabeth 'Skates' Hawkes
Oh, I'm sorry... [withdraws her body]
CHCDR Harmon 'Harm' Rabb Jr
Have we dated?
GGeneral
I was just writing the funeral oration for Lieutenant Li.
Well, I would consider it an honour if you would read it to us, general.
GGeneral
‘Like an eagle he soared above the clouds, as light as a feather in the breeze, until his life was snuffed out like a candle in the wind.’ I think I will amend that last.
A little too much Elton John, huh, general?
I’m sure she’s got a good reason for being late.
Yeah, well, she’s been early every other time. It’s already 11:18.
How do you that, colonel?
Know the precise time without looking at your watch.
It usually saves me from having to answer, “How do you do that?”
(Discussing Harm and Mac)
There seems to be a certain tension with you two.
Look y-you're missing the point, Sturgis.
I've never slept with him.
Then why don't you just get over it and move on?
(Mac gets up out of her chair and moves to the door and closes it)
Because I'm in love with him. (a long pause) Did I say that? (Mac sighs. Another long pause while Mac moves to a chair beside Sturgis and sits down) You have to keep that to yourself.
Lieutenant Roberts, you know both the lieutenant colonel and myself. Which of us do you like better?
(Bud stares at him.)
JJudge
I’ll take this one, Commander. Lieutenant, do you have any particular relationship with one or the other of these people?
Well, the Commander is the godfather to my son, sir. But on the other hand, the colonel is his godmother.
JJudge
That’s even handed of you, lieutenant. But is there anything that would prejudice you against Commander Rabb or Colonel MacKenzie?
Commander Rabb did try to put my father in jail. But that is his job. And Colonel MacKenzie took me off a case where I was co-counsel. But I kind of deserved that. Also...
JJudge
Lieutenant. Given your relationship with both attorneys, can you be objective?
['Flying a F-14 Tomcat above the Superbowl dome.] Well, it's no 50-yard line, but it's still a hell of a view. And we have the play-by-play on CBS Radio. Could have pulled worse duty than flying cover, eh, Skates? ince we're up here, what do you say we take a picture for the folks back home?
SSkates
Just point and shoot.
SSkates
[After Harm inverts and reverts the F-14 Tomcat.] Whoo! All right!
(Harm and Mac have just survived a landmine incident)
Yeah…thanks, Mac. That took guts.
You would have done the same for me.
Yeah, well the navy doesn't teach us tricks like that.
Neither does the Marine Corps. I saw it in a movie.
They don’t use real booby traps in movies.
They make things up! Mac!
