  Gen. Ben Carville : Mr. President, I'm afraid we have a heck of a situation down here.

  President Michael Dugan : [Signals to his aide to leave and she leaves]  How bad could it be, Ben?

  Gen. Ben Carville : According to NORAD we've got Soviet aircraft coming at us from all directions and ground troops pushing up through Mexico. I don't know how they snuck in on us.

  President Michael Dugan : You better double check this with NORAD. This doesn't make any sense. I'll call the Kremlin,

  Gen. Ben Carville : Will do.

  [Hangs up the phone] 

  Gen. Ben Carville : [Then Dugan reaches for one of his red telephones that's labeled Moscow] 

  Premier Alexander Romanov : [Picks up the phone]  Da, Premier Romanov here.

  Premier Alexander Romanov : Listen very carefully. I'm not your pet, Mr. president. We Romanovs have a legancy to consider.

  President Michael Dugan : I don't giave a wooden nickle about your legancy. You call them off. Alex, you call them off. You know, we'll retaliate.

  Premier Alexander Romanov : [Looking up towards Yuri, who also picks up a phone]  Oh, don't be so sure Mr. President.

  [Hangs up the phone] 

  Gen. Ben Carville : [Putting Carville on speaker phone]  Sir.

  [Boy takes out his gun] 

  Watch Officer #2 : Jerry, what? We have to open the silos or they'll explode on the...

  [Boyd pulls the hammer back on his gun]

• [the intro to Operation: Eagle Dawn] 

  [On the phone with President Dugan] 

  Gen. Ben Carville : Mr. President

  [waves to you] 

  Gen. Ben Carville : the Europeans will be asking for our help before too long. Yes, sir. I'll take care of it.

  [hangs up the phone, wipes his eyes and knocks files off of his desk] 

  Gen. Ben Carville : It just ain't right. We shouldn't have to beg for help from anyone. Premier Romanov's got that whole continent shaking in their boots.

  [Shows you a slide of pictures] 

  Gen. Ben Carville : Romanov's sending his bulldog General Vladimir in for our air bases. His forces are roaming through the country like an angry bull at a Texas rodeo. At 0500 this morning, we detected a large force of Soviet tanks assembling near the air force academy at Colorado Springs.

  Lt. Eva Lee : [coming in on screen]  Sir, an urgent message from Special agent Tanya on the field.

  Special Agent Tanya Adams : It looks like the commies have captured the academy, General.

  Gen. Ben Carville : But, why the devil you wait 'till now to contact us? We can't let Vladimir take that air base.

  Special Agent Tanya Adams : With all due respect General, we've been a little busy.

  Gen. Ben Carville : Commander, get Tanya out of the hole she dug for herself and make her useful would ya? I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

  Special Agent Tanya Adams : The he...

  [Carville cuts her off] 

  Gen. Ben Carville : We seem to have lost Tanya's transmission. Go to it, Commander.

• President Michael Dugan : [the intro to Operation: Free Gateway]  Beautiful job in Hawaii, Commander. I know you have your heart set on seeing the beach in Waikiki. But, we have new business in St. Louis.

  Gen. Ben Carville : [Coming in on screen]  The heart of Missouri is now the feeding breast for all of our ground control operations in the country. We'd be in sorry shape without her. The problem is that Yuri and his psychic corps have dropped another Psychic Beacon in the town.

  President Michael Dugan : I never wanted to send in you against our own citizens. But those psychic beacons are turning upstanding Americans into Soviet-controlled killers. Move fast, and move wisely, and try not to hurt my constituents. Alright?

  Lt. Eva Lee : Unfortunately, you may have to. Agent Tanya's strike team is ready and standing by, but we can't tell how long they can go before the beacon takes its effect on them.

  [gets a signal on her headphones] 

  Lt. Eva Lee : One moment, commander.

  Special Agent Tanya Adams : Oh, she's not kidding, commander. If we don't move fast enough, we'll all become slaves to Romanov and his slimeball Yuri. You understand me. There is nothing worse for a soldier, than losing her mind.

  [Readies an AK-47] 

  Special Agent Tanya Adams : We're trusting you.

• Gen. Ben Carville : [Carville is packing his things up]  No rest for the wicked, commander. We're both being shipped to Germany. I'm going to Berlin, where we're planning our final thrust. Romanov is no fool. He's hittin' us pretty hard over there. His main target is Einstein's Black Forest lab. I want you to hook up with the locals and keep him the Sam Hill away from that lab. Einstein is our ace in hole, we can't afford to lose him.

  [opens his office door; a man with dynamite tied to himself is seen outside] 

  Gen. Ben Carville : Auf wiederseh...

  [the dynamite blows up; the screen turns to static] 

• Gen. Ben Carville : [the intro to Operation: Eagle Dawn]  Well, I've gotta hand it to you kid. I've never seen Tanya stick her neck out for anybody. She's on an assignment back home, but she asked me to convey any regards she can muster. Oh, and you really impressed those Germans too. So, in appreciation, their chancellor has put us in touch with their leading citizen. Doctor Einstein, you still there?

  Prof. Albert Einstein : [drawing something on his chalkboard]  Ja. Ja. I am here, one moment. Well, commander. You know of course, that war is not my vocation. I am only a scientist. But Sovet premier Romanov and his generals, they will stop at nothing, to rule the minds and the bodies of everyone on the planet, when they have the psycic technology to do this. But, I too. I know a few tricks.

  [faxes you a blueprint of a new base defense system] 

  Prof. Albert Einstein : These are plans for a Prism Tower. Your president, he has expressed great interest in its application.

  Gen. Ben Carville : Thanks, Doc. Commander, the reds have established a forward base near D.C. with the ability ot deploy Tesla Coils. Now, they're pretty well entrenched. But, I think if we can take the capital back we can turn the tide. I am tired of hanging out in Canada. Get me my office back!

• Lt. Eva Lee : [at the beginning of the first Allied mission]  Commander, good morning. We have instituted the president's emergency Lazarus Protocol. I'm Lieutenant Eva; The intel officer assigned to your command. Since you're the only commander left alive, I'm pretty lucky to have a job.

  [Eva accesses some pictures] 

  Lt. Eva Lee : It appears we have suffered full scale Soviet invasion. Nearly all of our major cities are under siege and our forces are in complete disarray.

  [gets a signal on her headphones] 

  Lt. Eva Lee : Hold on commander, I'm getting a special transmission from General Carville at the Pentagon.

  Gen. Ben Carville : I hope you're rested and ready commander, because as of 0800 hours you're in control of every satellite, base, tank, airplane, enlisted man, woman and child in the eastern United States. You answer to the president, and you answer to me. Your ops officer and vital lifeline will be the lieutenant. Your point man for this mission will be Special Agent Tanya.

  Special Agent Tanya Adams : General, I hope that our commander is up to speed, because we have no time to waste.

  Gen. Ben Carville : I'm sure she has every confidence in you commander.

  Special Agent Tanya Adams : [sarcastically]  Oh you're sure. Well, it's not your life that's on the line out here.

  Gen. Ben Carville : [laughs slightly]  She's the best there is. But you'll get along better with the Soviets. You'll get started immediately. First stop, New York. The lieutenant will give you the details

  Lt. Eva Lee : Not long ago, the soviets made an amphibious landing on Manhattan Island and their using their ground troops to systematically take over the city. Fortunately, we still have a hold on Fort Bradley, but our comlink has been severed. If you can get agent Tanya into Bradley, she will re-establish the link. Good luck, commander.

• Lt. Eva Lee : [the intro to Operation: Deep Sea]  No rest for the weary, commander. Sorry to wake you, but General Carville has scheduled an emergency briefing starting in

  [looking at her watch] 

  Lt. Eva Lee : Oh, right now.

  Gen. Ben Carville : [Just coming in to The Pentagon]  Good morning, commander. I've got good news and bad news.

  [signing in with a log book] 

  Gen. Ben Carville : The good news is, uh, it's great to be home again. The bad news is our U2s have picked up a fleet of Soviet ships entering the South Pacific. It appears that General Vladimir is headed for the Pacific command center in Pearl Harbor. As if they can mount a sucessful attack against us!

  [laughs slightly] 

  Gen. Ben Carville : I want you to prepare a genuine aloha to that little bulldog Vladimir.

  [he is handed his coffee mug] 

  Gen. Ben Carville : Oh, and uh, get yourself a cup of coffee, commander.

  [drinks from his mug] 

  Gen. Ben Carville : You look deader than a Texas armadillo.

• Gen. Ben Carville : No rest for the wicked, Commander.

• [the U.S. forces have been forced to seek shelter in Canada after a nuclear strike] 

  Gen. Ben Carville : I don't know what the Sam Hill happened back there, Commander! But as you can see we're getting set right here. I know, Canada. More cows up here than people...

• Gen. Ben Carville : I'm tired of hangin' out in Canada.

  [points a tiny brass model gatling gun at the camera] 

  Gen. Ben Carville : Get me my office back!
