Lisa
The generator starts in 15 minutes. I hope the captain gets here in time I hear you didn't get much sleep last night.
: Yeah, the other officer threw a farewell party for all. They probably sat up all night telling each other war stories. You know how they are.
Lisa
And where were you, Claudia?
What are you talking about, Lisa?
Lisa
You didn't come in until four this morning. You must have been partying, too.
You jealous? I had a late dinner with Commander Focker.
Lisa
Claudia!
Lisa
You stayed out all night knowing you both have flight duty today.
So? What's the big fuss about Lisa? We won't let it affect the performance of our duty. After all, we're not children & you're not our mother.
Lisa
Your responsibilities to the ship come first, Claudia?
But my private life is my business. Nobody else's. Now then, let's get to work, alright, get out of here!
VVanessa
Lisa doesn't understand about men, Claudia. She's in love with the spaceship.
KKim
Yeah! You got that right.
I'm not the one who keeps butting into everybody's business.
Lisa
I'm warning you!
I hate to interrupt but had you better check your monitor, Commander.
KKim
It's an unidentified incoming aircraft, Lisa.
Lisa
Attention aircraft approaching on course 107. Please identify yourself. Please identify yourself.
This is Rick Hunter. Invitation number 201.
Lisa
That's confirmed as an invitation from Lieutenant Commander Focker. Follow course 57 for landing.
[tries to raise Rick on the radio] Rick. Come in, Rick. A poor kid's just had to take on more that he can manage. Well, I can't leave him behind. [calls SDF-1 control] Skull Leader to Control. Lisa, I'm going to pick up something I left down on the island. Capt. Kramer will take command of the fighter group until I return. Over.
Lisa
Why you're returning? Over.
Rick Hunter in fighter VT-102 is still back on the island and I had to go pick him up now.
Lisa
That pilot's an imposter. I'd gone through the entire registry and I find no record such a person.
Well, that's easy enough to explain. He's a civilian. So he isn't listed in the military register.
Lisa
What? A civilian! But I thought...Uhh...Umm.
[As he discovers that the SDF-1 ended up outside Pluto, Captain Gloval has been informed that Macross Island was included in the spacefold bubble and receives a call.]
Yes [startled] What?!? It can't be! Impossible. I'll be right there.
Lisa Hayes
Captain? What's happened?
[turns back as he prepares to leave the bridge] Chief Engineer Lang tells me the fold system just vanished into thin air!
Lisa Hayes
[as everybody is aghast] Did he just say, vanished? Captain? What's happened?
That's what he told me. [walks out]
Kim and Sammie: OH NO!!! [looks at each other and embrace in tears]
[outside room, lights pipe] Well, now. Going to be a long trip.
[Rick tries to get an adamant Lisa out of Mars Base Sara]
Lisa
I'm not leaving this room. I don't know why you're here but you can leave right now.
Lisa
Go away!
BABase AI
One minute to meltdown. One minute.
I have no idea what's happening here but my life is at stake now, too. So come on!
Lisa
I'm not leaving.
No way! You have to come.
Lisa
Leave me alone. No. Put me down!
[aboard SDF-1 bridge] Thirty seconds to explosion. Get out of there, Rick!
Lisa
Ugh..RIBER!
Lisa
You must be joking! I won't do it.
Lisa
I mean it, Ben. I'm serious. I won't kiss him. He made of that absolutely ridiculous scheme just because he wants to kiss me. I know I maybe naive but I'm not stupid.
Just a minute. You think you're so attractive I scheming up a way to kiss. I wouldn't think of kissing you unless they it were life or death.
Lisa
Well.
[Lisa Hayes, Rick Hunter, Max Sterling, and Ben Dixon report to Captain Gloval about their captivity.]
Please continue your report, Cmdr. Hayes. Do you really think they have that many ships?
Lisa
Yes sir, at least that many and possibly more.
Based on all combined reports, our computers placed a total of somewhere of four and five million ships.
Gentlemen, let's hear the entire briefing before discussing it.
Lisa
In the course of our captivity, we'd observed that the aliens have absolutely no contact with human emotions. They've been groomed entirely for war and their societies organized along purely military lines. It appears that they have increased their body size & strength artificially through genetic manipulation & that they also have the ability to reverse the process. While they examined us, they continued to referred to something they called "Protoculture."
[Rick is recovering in a hospital from his wounds sustained at the last battle. Lisa visits him]
Well, look who's here. Hey, what a lone face. She'd come to bury Caesar?
Lisa Hayes
Hello, Rick. I came to about to say that I'm sorry.
You!? You came out here to apologize? To apologize for what for Pete's sake.
Lisa
For you being here. We both know that it was my instructions that were responsible for you being seriously injured.
Lisa, you weren't responsible. I had no one to blame for this but myself. I'm here because I made a mistaken judgment & for no other reason. OK.
Lisa
Thanks for your generosity.
What's happened to your old command confidence? This isn't like you at all.
Lisa
No, Lt. Hunter; I don't suppose it is of that. Anyway, I said what I came to say. Now I had to get back to my duties on the bridge. Get Well.
Thanks, Lisa. You think we'll see each other again?
Lisa
I don't think so, Rick. I'll be too busy.
[Rick and Max have just escaped the overloaded barrier field]
Lisa, tell Captain Gloval we lost Ben Dixon back there.
Lisa Hayes
Rick, I'm so sorry... The people of this ship are grateful; but they'll never truly comprehend all that you've gone through for them.
[While trapped during a temporary SDF-1 transformation]
You know, I feel as helpless as a caged animal.
Lisa Hayes
Yeah, Mr. and Mrs. Monkey, watching people go by.
I'm glad I'm here with you.
Lisa
You're not so bad yourself.
Lisa
Yeah. After today, I have a feeling I can get to like you.
That's funny, because I was thinking exactly the same thing.
[After arriving outside Lisa's quarters]
Lisa Hayes
We're almost there.
Yes, I guess I should be going. I'd better get back to the barracks before they think I've gone and jumped ship. [tries to walk away, but Lisa couldn't let go of his hand]
Lisa
Rick, do you have to run off so soon? I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you were with another officer. [saunters up to Rick] Anyway, I'd like for you to stay.
Well...I really like that.
NNarrator
And so a new romance blossoms aboard the ship. Two people reaching out for love in different directions only to find that what they wanted was as close as the touch of their fingertips. However, it's a hard life in the military, especially at wartime and whether or not Rick and Lisa could make their relationship work remains to be seen.
[Rick rescues Lisa from the ruins of Alaska Base.]
Lisa
Thank you, Rick.
Sure. Well I guess I sort of disobeyed your orders again, didn't I?
Lisa
Yeah, That's alright. I was just thinking about how fortunate I am that you came back just when you did & about how much I admire you.
Lisa
It looks like the fighting stopped.
Lisa
I wonder if there's anyone else around.
Lisa
Well we might be the only survivors. It'll be sad to think that we're the only ones left.
That wouldn't be too bad, would it?
Lisa
What?
At least you'll never be alone.
Lisa
Oh, Rick.
Lisa
It's... Minmei.
Then the SDF-1 survived. [Sees SDF-1 landing] What a sight for sore eyes.
Lisa
You can say that again.
Lisa
Okay.
[After the Protoculture Matrix heist, a fuming Rick asks Lisa about not being informed of the battle]
I talked to Vanessa. She told me you said I was sick in bed. That was a lie, Lisa. I should have been notified at the VERY FIRST ORDER to scramble!!!
Lisa Hayes
You should be more discreet when you have people coming over. Last night, I came by and your door was open. I know all about Minmei. [referring to her split with cousin-manager Lynn Kyle]
[Claudia just found Lisa in a balcony aboard the SDF-1.]
Admiral Gloval sent me to look for you, why aren't you on the bridge?
Lisa Hayes
I needed to be alone, I'm thinking about resigning.
Lisa
No, I'm serious, Claudia. I just can't take it anymore. The army, Rick...
Lisa
I'm giving up. I'm just not as tough as everybody thinks I am.
Come on, Lisa, you're not fooling anybody but yourself.
Lisa
What?
Quit talking like some silly simpering schoolgirl. You're a military woman, born, bred, and trained and you're too much of a scrapper to give up like this without a fight!
Lisa
There's no use fighting...if Rick prefers Minmei than me, then that's just the way it is and there's nothing I can do about it.
But the military is your life, Lisa. You can't be serious about resigning your commission!
Lisa
Yes I am. I have to get away.
Lisa
I couldn't work with Rick and watch him go home everyday to Minmei. You understand, don't you?
[After Minmei says goodbye when Rick rescues Lisa.]
Lisa
Rick, what about the mission? All of our battle cruisers have been destroyed. How can we get to the stars?
We'll build the SDF-3 Lisa, and together we'll get there. Yeah. We're going to the stars and beyond. I promise you that, Lisa.
Lisa
We will. Yes, we will we're going to the stars and beyond.
