Odyssey 52002

Chuck Taggart:
I gotta get the smoke out of here.

Sarah Forbes:
How are you gonna do that?

Chuck Taggart:
We're gonna depressurize the entire ship.

Neil Taggart:
What?

Sarah Forbes:
What are we supposed to do, hold our breath?

Chuck Taggart:
Neil and I will climb into the EMUs, the rest of you get into the personal rescue enclosures.

Kurt Mendel:
Uh, I'd like to raise an issue: what's the point of all this?

Chuck Taggart:
To stay alive.

Kurt Mendel:
For an extra nine hours?

Sarah Forbes:
It's better than nothing.

Kurt Mendel:
Is it? Nine more hours to sit around and wait for the oxygen to run out?

Neil Taggart:
We can't just give up, Kurt.

Kurt Mendel:
Look out the window. Earth is not on the mission program. If ever there was a time to give up, this is it. I say we *bag* this routine and get it over with.

Sarah Forbes:
I want to live, even if it is only for another nine hours.

Kurt Mendel:
Why? Do you want another interview?

Sarah Forbes:
Goddammit, Kurt.

Neil Taggart:
Oh, will you cut it out? It takes twenty minutes to get into suits; fifteen to clear the vents; we can not stand around and argue.

Chuck Taggart:
Neil's right, break out the EMUs. Sarah, take care of the personal rescue enclosures.

Chuck Taggart:
[to Kurt:] Now, I am gonna depressurize this cabin, and you can get into an enclosure if you want to, or you can sit around and twiddle your thumbs while you decompress, but if that's your choice, then do me a favor and get your ass in a sleeping bag and zip the f***er up because I do not wish to spend my last living hours cleaning up the mess.
