• Col. Briteis : [a saboteur has just caused the ship to make an unplanned landing on the Moon. The commander is being helped off her bunk by the second in command, a seasoned pilot who had trained thoroughly for the flight, only to have been replaced by her at the last minute. She has been making snarky, catty comments at and about him the whole trip, but now she looks up at him in alarm]  Bill, I muffed it!

  [pause] 

  Col. Briteis : What'll we do?

  Maj. Bill Moore : [gently]  Take it easy. Come on.

  [Helps her off her couch] 

  Col. Briteis : But you don't understand! There isn't enough fuel left! We can't take off!

  [Realizes herself, turns slightly to the side and stands at attention] 

  Col. Briteis : Sorry to have 'gone female' on you, Major. I didn't mean to take advantage of you.

  Maj. Bill Moore : [Reaches for his belt buckle]  That's all right. I'm feeling kind of punchy myself.
