Major Dad1989

Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis:
I was going to let you see her anyway; all the scheming was for nothing. [speaking of Chip dating Elizabeth]

Chip Russell:
So it's okay with you.

Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis:
No. You're a sneak, and I don't want Elizabeth involved with a sneak.

Chip Russell:
Outstanding. So now I'm to throw myself at your mercy, promise to mend my ways, and beg you to let me see her.

Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis:
Have at it.

Chip Russell:
See, there's just one problem: I don't want to see her. [gets up and approaches the office door]

Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis:
Halt! You do so.

Chip Russell:
Why would I?

Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis:
Because she's bright, and she's pretty, and she has a great sense of humor, and you like her.

Chip Russell:
You're right, sir.

Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis:
Bet I am.

Chip Russell:
But I've been around the Core for around 16 years and I know how officers are about their daughters. With all due respect, I really don't want to have to put up with all the crap. Sir. so, ah, tell Elizabeth I'm sorry. [walks back to the door]

Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis:
Halt! [gets up from his desk and stands face-to-face with Chip] How much crap will you put up with?

Chip Russell:
Not much.

Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis:
But some.

Chip Russell:
Let's talk. [sits down] I want unlimited freedom; no curfew, no restrictions, no questions asked.

Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis:
[opens the office door] I'll tell Elizabeth you said "Good-bye".

Chip Russell:
[Chip shuts the door] Major, this is a negotiation; you ask for the world, then you haggle.

Maj. John D. 'Mac' McGillis:
[sits back down, too] You will date only on Friday's, curfew will be twenty-two hundred, and after you've been together for a month you may... hold hands.
