Finn and Junko: We're gonna die!
Dove: Are they always this dramatic?
Piper: You have no idea. edit »
Finn: Yep, there it is. That's the "We're going on a dangerous mission" look.
Aerrow: We'll get her back, Wren.
Finn: (Looks at the photo of Dove) I'm in! edit »
Wren: Good work, soldiers! I, I don't know how to repay you...
Finn: Gold works for me.
Aerrow: Seeing Dove safe and Gale liberated is reward enough.
Wren: Oh, what a nice young ma...
Dove: I think we can find something to give them, Granpapa. Don't be cheap! edit »

The scene when Aerrow is flying upside down above the Cyclonian pilot is similar to a scene from the Top Gun movie where Goose and Maverick fly upside down above a MIG pilot. edit »
Throwing a sink at Dark Ace is an allusion to the phrase "Using everything but the kitchen sink". In this case, however, the sink went too. edit »
The resistance of Terra Gale is an allusion to the French Resistance of WWII, as heard by Wren's French accent. edit »
