Movie quotes

  • (..) Bravo -, move left. - Watch formation. Keep moving. - Roger that. Charlie -, watch your spacing. Copy that. Over. Eyes up. Check that overhead. And watch those thermal scans. All call signs, Papa has lead, pushing to target. Escorts, stay close on my shuttle. We are gonna lose some paint in here. (..)
