- Rep. Pitosi: I'll take some of the gentlemen from Oklahoma's time that he yielded to ask you one brief question. Why do you exist?
- General Mark R. Naird: The Yankees won the 1961 World Series and my parents got a little carried away with their celebration.
- General Mark R. Naird: Since when did you and Kick Grabaston start hanging out and talking about women's underwear?
- Dr. Adrian Mallory: He wanted my input. I gave it too him.
- General Mark R. Naird: That reminds me. Keep quiet in there, unless I give you a signal.
- Dr. Adrian Mallory: Did we agree on a signal? I don't think so. How about, "Dr. Mallory will now explain how man and barbaric nature will destroy space, as he has the Earth."
- General Mark R. Naird: Too wordy. I'll just tap on the table twice with a pencil.

- Duncan Tabner: ID?
- Dr. Adrian Mallory: I left my ID at the lab.
- Duncan Tabner: No one gets in without ID.
- Dr. Adrian Mallory: Brad, will you tell this prepubescent killing machine who I am?
- Brad Gregory: Uh, Duncan, this is Dr. Adrian Mallory.
- Duncan Tabner: Well, I could confirm that if he present some ID.
- Dr. Adrian Mallory: I entered the building without ID.
- Duncan Tabner: Oh, wow. They should not have allowed that.
- [places his hand on his sidearm]
- General Mark R. Naird: Space... is... hard.
- Anabela Ysidro-Campos: May I suggest that, that become the new space force motto.
