  Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : Monitor on, find ISN.

  ISN Anchor : And to confirm earlier reports, President Clark has signed a decree today declaring martial law throughout Earth Central citing threats to planetary security. He's expected to provide information to support this action at a closed meeting of the full Earth Senate tomorrow. We repeat, Earth is now under martial law.

  Michael Garibaldi : You know, I've been stuck in this tin can for three years. I haven't taken a vacation. Okay, okay, it's my fault, I had the leave coming, I just didn't take it. And the pay sucks, I knew that when I signed on! And nobody said I'd survive the job! Now, I give you all that. But where in my contract does it say I have to eat the same food... every day... for three years.

  Capt. John Sheridan : Paragraph 47, subsection 19, clause 9A. You can find it in the index under S.U.A.E.I.

  Michael Garibaldi : S.U.A.E.I.?

  Capt. John Sheridan , Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : Shut Up And Eat It.

• Cook : Excuse me, Commander

  [she places a covered tray with a note on top of it and whispers something in Ivanova's ear. Ivanova reads the note and gives an exasperated sigh] 

  Michael Garibaldi : What, what what what?

  Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : It's nothing

  Capt. John Sheridan : [leans a bit closer to the tray]  I smell bacon and eggs.

  Michael Garibaldi : Get outta here, do you know how hard it is to get eggs up here before they spoil? I have tried, it can't be-

  [he sniffs the air around the tray] 

  Michael Garibaldi : Yeah... bacon and eggs, definitely.

  [he lifts the lid to find some strips of real bacon and a mound of scrambled eggs. Both he and Sheridan let out expressions of awe] 

  Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : It's from Marcus.

  [Sheridan and Garibaldi exchange looks] 

  Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : It's nothing like that, I did him a favor. I got him an Identicard so he could use some of the facilities on the station. He asked what he could do for me in return, I said 'Surprise me'.

  Michael Garibaldi : I can get anchovies, I can get olive oil, anything that doesn't spoil, I haven't seen a fresh chicken egg in over three years... I mean, cooked or otherwise.

  Capt. John Sheridan : And bacon? Forget it!

  Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : [Letting out another sigh and looking slightly guilty]  Look... if you want it, it's yours.

  Michael Garibaldi : Oh no we wouldn't dream of it.

  Capt. John Sheridan : Go on, eat.

  Michael Garibaldi : We'll just sit right here.

  Capt. John Sheridan : Uh-huh. And watch.

  Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : [Shaking her head in embarrassment]  I'm gonna kill him. After breakfast... if I can find him.
