Digger Reed:
[Digger and the rest of the flight crew have just been briefed by General Presser on the crystalline ring]
Well, it doesn't sound dangerous to me, sounds like a lot of fun!
General Presser:
Fun? We're not talking about moon rocks here, this is dangerous! It's exactly that kind of carefree attitude that could seriously jeopardize the success of this mission.
Digger Reed:
You've been riding me pretty hard the last few years, trying to get me to retire, well tough luck Sir! You can't argue with my pilot ratings!
General Presser:
I can't?
[slides Digger's latest test rating results across the desk]

General Presser:
Your latest test ratings are down! You're losing your fabled edge!
NASA Flight Surgeon:
Digger's ratings may be down, but they're still excellent on any chart. He's still the best we have.
General Presser:
I'm putting you in charge of the mission, but I'm assigning the collection to someone else. Someone dependable, someone who won't give me any surprises.
Digger Reed:
Perhaps you'd like to share with all of us, who that someone might be.
General Presser:
I'm assigning, Orville.
Digger Reed:
[looks around at the flight crew, then back to Presser]
Orville?
General Presser:
[leans back in his chair]
That's right.
NASA Flight Surgeon:
Digger, you two always worked well together in training.
Digger Reed:
[closes his manilla folder with his notes]
No. Orville's OK, Orville's not the problem. I just hate feeling like the hired help.
[stands to leave]

General Presser:
Fine. I don't like your shananigans. Your test results are OK for now, but they won't be for long. And when they slip...
[shrugs]

Digger Reed:
[stops in the doorway and looks back to Presser]

General Presser:
[grins]

Digger Reed:
[shakes his head and walks out]

NASA Flight Surgeon:
[looks over to Presser]

General Presser:
[puts his hands behind his head]
