Saffron Burrows: Lt. Cdr. 'Angel' Deveraux

Quotes 

• [about a show-off fighter maneuver Rosie's just done while landing] 

  Angel : I hope it felt very good.

  Rosie Forbes : Better than sex.

  Angel : Bullshit.

  Rosie Forbes : Better than sex with myself.

• [Explaining why no one mentions the names of dead pilots] 

  Angel : Let me give you a reality check. In all likelihood you're going to die out here. We're all going to die out here, but none of us need to be reminded of that fact. So you die, you never existed. Understand?

• [Blair is sitting in the cockpit of a parked Rapier fighter on the flight deck] 

  Angel : Two Dralthis on your tail. One above, one below. You got five, maybe ten seconds. Clock's ticking, what do you do?

  Blair : Simple. I go vertical and inverted, do a 180 at full throttle, apply brakes and drop in behind them.

  Angel : Bang, you're dead. Not fast enough. Dralthis are too quick, particularly in a climb. You've just taken a missle up your tailpipe. OK, let's reverse the situation, you're locked on a Dralthi, it goes evasive, enters an asteroid belt.

  Blair : If I'm locked on, there's no such thing as evasive action.

  Angel : And you're dead again. You see, it's an ambush, five or six fighters hide behind rocks the size of your swollen head and pants. A Kilrathi gangbang. What's the matter, did I bruise your ego?

  Blair : No, I'm not used to getting combat tips from a grease monkey, that's all.

  Angel : Lieutenant Commander Deveraux, your wing commander. You have a name?

  Blair : Uh, Lieutenant Blair, ma'am.

  Angel : Well Lieutenant Blair, if you want to play at being a fighter pilot I suggest you find a virtual fun zone. Meanwhile, step down from the Rapier.
