Spiral Zone1987

[last lines]

Dirk Courage:
Now I may have exceeded my authority in doing nothing to stop the train, but I stand by the justice of my decision. If the committee thinks I should lose my command because of what I did, I have no choice but to accept their decision.

[the Zone Riders wait impatiently outside the hall for the committee decision]

Benjamin "Ben" Davis Franklin:
[to Hiro] They've been in there a long time!

Katerina Anastasia:
[to Commander Courage] Dirk, I just want you to know, that whatever happens...

[the door opens, and General McFarland steps outside. Everyone looks at him]

General McFarland:
I'm sorry, Commander...

[McFarland smiles]

General McFarland:
...looks like you're stuck with us.

[McFarland warmly shakes Commander Courage's hand]

General McFarland:
Congratulations, Dirk! The committee voted in your favor.

Dirk Courage:
[sighs in relief] Oh, thank you, General!

[the overjoyed Zone Riders cheer in delight, congratulating Commander Courage. The door opens, and the council chairman steps outside. He glares at the Zone Riders, grunts and leaves]

General McFarland:
[smiles] the vote was 6:1.

[Commander Courage smiles]
