The generator starts in 15 minutes. I hope the captain gets here in time I hear you didn't get much sleep last night.
Claudia: 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.
And where were you, Claudia?
Claudia
What are you talking about, Lisa?
You didn't come in until four this morning. You must have been partying, too.
Claudia
You jealous? I had a late dinner with Commander Focker.
Claudia
What?
You stayed out all night knowing you both have flight duty today.
Claudia
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.
Your responsibilities to the ship come first, Claudia?
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.
Claudia
I'm not the one who keeps butting into everybody's business.
Claudia
I hate to interrupt but had you better check your monitor, Commander.
KKim
It's an unidentified incoming aircraft, Lisa.
Attention aircraft approaching on course 107. Please identify yourself. Please identify yourself.
This is Rick Hunter. Invitation number 201.
That's confirmed as an invitation from Lieutenant Commander Focker. Follow course 57 for landing.
[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.
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!
[as everybody is aghast] Did he just say, vanished? Captain? What's happened?
That's what he told me. [walks out]
Claudia Grant
We'll never get back.
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]
I'm not leaving this room. I don't know why you're here but you can leave right now.
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!
No way! You have to come.
Leave me alone. No. Put me down!
Claudia
[aboard SDF-1 bridge] Thirty seconds to explosion. Get out of there, Rick!
[Roy is at Claudia's quarters, where she's preparing a pineapple salad for dinner and he's strumming a guitar]
Claudia Grant
I don't think you'd realize how terrified I'd get every time you fly off on a combat mission. It's almost as if you pilots think that it's some kind of wonderful game when you're off on those Veritechs.
RFRoy Fokker
It's never been a game, Claudia. Maybe someday you'll understand that.
Claudia
Anyway, I've said what I had in my mind and I promised I'll keep my mouth shut about it in the future. [turns to Roy and holds finished pineapple salad high] Dinner's ready. [sees Roy not strumming guitar while putting salad on table] What? Well, don't tell me I put you to sleep. Is anything wrong?
Oh. Ohhhh... [slumps from sofa]
Claudia
Roy? [gasps upon seeing wounds] ROY!?!? [cries]
[Claudia just found Lisa in a balcony aboard the SDF-1.]
Claudia Grant
Admiral Gloval sent me to look for you, why aren't you on the bridge?
I needed to be alone, I'm thinking about resigning.
Claudia
Huh? You must be joking!
No, I'm serious, Claudia. I just can't take it anymore. The army, Rick...
Claudia
Oh Lisa.
I'm giving up. I'm just not as tough as everybody thinks I am.
Claudia
Come on, Lisa, you're not fooling anybody but yourself.
Claudia
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!
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.
Claudia
But the military is your life, Lisa. You can't be serious about resigning your commission!
Yes I am. I have to get away.
Claudia
You mean run away.
I couldn't work with Rick and watch him go home everyday to Minmei. You understand, don't you?
Claudia
Yes.
