OF LOSERS AND UNMET EXPECTATIONS

Voices of the Act

"He seemed fine enough to me. He's Ice, we all think of him as invincible, Grace. Even if there are signs that he isn't well, I think Cain wouldn't want to see it. How would that make him look? Attacking an old and sick man, unfairly so and his worried and loving daughter." - Admiral Jon Henry Springer

"What exactly am I supposed to come home to, Bradshaw?" ... "A house that doesn't even look like I live here anymore. Or maybe I'm supposed to be okay with the fact that you're not even wearing your wedding ring anymore! How dare you! How would you feel if I would just leave my necklace lying around carelessly?" - Sarah Grace "Icarus" Kazansky

"With all due respect, Admiral, I don't understand why you wish to speak to me. I have no say in any of this. I am not a Kazansky." -Jonathan "Elrond" Bates

"When I look at him, when I look right into his eyes, I feel like no one is home. I feel like Cain stole my boy and left someone behind who looks the part but isn't quite him. Not the boy I raised, not my Lincoln." ... "Does the great Tom Kazansky have any advice on such topics?" - Admiral Andrew Peterson

"Okay!" ... "Enough for tonight. Let's call it a tie. Good fight boys. Please, let's never do this again. Common foe and so, you know. Better not shoot each other, who knows maybe you will need the other someday after all."- Maggie "Gunny" Newman

"By God, baby Goose. I know you miss Gracie, but this is no reason for such behaviour. You don't come home and also don't call us to let us know, we thought something happened to you and now that you turn up you smell like you fell into a whiskey barrel and there is blood on your shirt." - Pete "Maverick" Mitchell

"You are not." ... "I can swear to you, you are not. I wasn't raised under any influences of any mighty Admirals. I learned by myself to see people for what they are. I choose to follow you, because I believe in you, and I know that you have a good heart. Grace, the fact alone that you worry about being not good, shows that you could never be evil." - Jake "Hangman" Seresin

"I understand what you're doing. Don't huff at me, I really do. I was the same as I woke up after my accident. In my frustration and helplessness, I turned against my wife and family. It nearly killed us." - Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw

"I don't care how angry he will be. I would rather have him angry over thissituation than in pain over what is inevitable in the long run. He went throughall that with Carole. I'm not making him go through that with me too." - Tom "Ice" Kazansky

"It's complicate." ..."Fathersdon't really want their only sons to be gay."- Lincoln "Fox" Peterson

"I won't let you order a world war. How do you think that will keep themsafe in the long run? They are all serving in the Navy and they all will besent to war. To the very war you started to protect them. Doing this will onlybuy them little time if even any."  - Ron "Slider" Kerner
