Jonas: Three targets confirmed, all inside.

Tiffy: I need to find Mack.
Colonel Tom Ryan: The kids, they all right?
Tiffy: They're fine.
Colonel Tom Ryan: Is there a money problem?
Tiffy: No, it's nothing like that. I need...
Colonel Tom Ryan: I'm listening.
Tiffy: Please, just tell me where he is.
Colonel Tom Ryan: Where he is; is classified.
Tiffy: When's he coming back?
Colonel Tom Ryan: I can't help you if I don't know what your problem is.
Tiffy: Tom, we're in trouble. Mack thinks I had an affair. He found something.
Colonel Tom Ryan: Something of whose?
Tiffy: Not yours, if that's what you're worried about.
Colonel Tom Ryan: And why is this my problem?
Tiffy: Because he's your soldier and a shooter and if we don't stop him somebody's going to get killed.
Colonel Tom Ryan: Somebody? Who is this man that's in danger?
Tiffy: Tom, I've never lied to you. I've lied for you. I've lied for your wife, but I've never lied to you and I'm not having an affair.
Colonel Tom Ryan: I didn't ask you.
Tiffy: This whole thing is a mistake.
Colonel Tom Ryan: What do you want me to do?
Tiffy: Pull him aside when he gets back, detain him, you've done it before when it was about us; you knew what to do.
Colonel Tom Ryan: That's too much.
Tiffy: You want me to go through official channels, I will.
Colonel Tom Ryan: Then we're done here.
Tiffy: And hell, while I'm at it, I might as well let all the facts out and he'll know everything. The whole history about me and you. Is that what you want Tom, is that what your wife wants?
Colonel Tom Ryan: Are you trying to blackmail me?
Tiffy: Best I can. edit »
Bob: Jonas, I was the senior member of the two-man team and now you've replaced the junior member.
Jonas: Is that how it works?
Bob: Yes, you've got your seat on the plane, but this is my mission and I'd like you to allow me to run it. Now, if you know of a better way to run a railroad, I'm all ears.
Jonas: I'll see you in the sky. edit »
Tiffy:(To Wilson)If my husband thinks we are having an affair, the only question is which one of us he will kill first. edit »
Colonel Ryan: (Closes door and walks into office) Can�t risk it Jonas, not based on this medical report.
Jonas: Piece of paper doesn�t get the mission done sir. Half your operators can't pass that physical.
Colonel Ryan: Let's let the Air Force run with this one.
Jonas: There are only three guys that know the details of this operation and one of 'em's now dead.
Colonel Ryan: No, you're not jumping.
Jonas: Sir, you don't send me on this mission, I walk and the whole farmer's market. (Takes step towards desk) We cross deck this to the Air Force and they drop their lovely five ton bomb and they miss because we got nobody on the ground, or worse they miss (Swallows hard) and you know what tomorrow's headline is. That's right, one hundred women and children, all dead and it comes back on us. The mission is on and I'm going, or you're putting ads in the personals seeking a team leader and remind me again those grow on trees.
Colonel Ryan: And what if you burn in at 70 miles an hour?
Jonas: I won't burn in.
Colonel Ryan: And what if you do?
Jonas: Then don't let my wife marry a lawyer.
Colonel Ryan: I'm sayin' this as a friend Jonas.
Jonas: Got enough friends.
(Pause as they stare at each other)
Colonel Ryan: (Sigh) What are the only things that fall from the sky Jonas?
Jonas: Manna from heaven and the Airborne Rangers. (Pause) Put me on that mission, Tom. edit »
