• Admiral Reigart : Our man is down behind enemy lines, now what the fuck is the problem?

  Admiral Piquet : [Yelling]  Do you have any idea how much damage this incident may cause to the peace process?

  Admiral Reigart : All I know, Admiral, is that the American people want their pilot back.

  Admiral Piquet : Exactly! Americans, all you care about is your own damn pilots! What happens when the fighting starts again? Will America recommit its forces to stop a major war? No, you don't have any control over that little detail, do you? You might have helped save your man today, Reigart, and I emphasize 'might', but you risk the lives of thousands tomorrow.

• Admiral Piquet : Admiral, what's going on down there?

  Admiral Reigart : We have an F18 shot down over southern Bosnia. One pilot is suspected dead.

  Admiral Piquet : Who authorized the search and rescue mission?

  Admiral Reigart : I did.

  Admiral Piquet : Call it off. Stand down, Admiral.

  Admiral Reigart : Maybe I didn't make myself clear! We have pilots down! One is probably already dead!

  Admiral Piquet : Admiral, I've spoken personally to Bosnian military commanders and they assure me the shoot down was perpetrated by renegades outside of their control, attempting to disrupt the peace process.

  Admiral Reigart : Well of course they're going to say that.

  Admiral Piquet : They're also claiming, Admiral, that your aircraft was way off mission.

  Admiral Reigart : Yes, well...

  Admiral Piquet : If we fly in there, we create a shitstorm, and the whole treaty will collapse.

  Admiral Reigart : Admiral, Burnett says that Serb troops murdered his pilot!

  Admiral Piquet : Is your pilot an expert on Bosnia? Can he tell the difference of the uniform of a Serb, Croat, and Muslim? Because I can't, and I've been posted here for five years.
