Movie quotes

  • (..) Engineering requests fuel status on the jetpack prototype. Five hours off the reservation and I show thirty percent drain. Give my compliments to Engineering. Except for a slight malfunction in the nulling of the roll axis, this jetpack is one prime piece of thrust. Engineering says thank you. (..)
