Quotes 

• Lt. Commander Quinton McHale : [Gruber is posing as the Commander while McHale is the Ensign for Gruber's girl]  Excuse me, Commander. But I was doing this for your own good. I don't want you to miss your mission, Sir. After all, we do want to keep your brilliant record intact.

  Lester Gruber : Well, I... I guess you right, Mac. Can't keep those Nips waiting. Good thinking. Put yourself in for an oak leaf cluster.
