"This is great."
"I told ya!"
"I can't believe we didn't do this years ago."

"So what now, Sir?"
"I don't know. I just thought after this perfect ending, anything else would seem...pointless."
"Pointless? Sir...umm...Jack...we haven't even..."
"I know. I should have planned something after this. I just don't know what to do."
"Sir, you're about to become a Major General in the United States Air Force. Are you telling me that you don't have a plan?"
"I guess I am."
"Wow."
"I know. A little disappointing. See the problem is in my professional life, I've been great at plans...especially plan B's."
"I remember."
"But in my personal life, I've always just gone with the flow. When I was at home, Sara was always in charge. I don't even know how Laira and Kerry happened. They just took over. You know what this means, Sam?"
"What?"
"It means you are going to have to stop being a Lieutenant Colonel and start giving me some orders. Otherwise, we might hang in limbo for another eight years."
"Really? You want me to give you orders?"
"Pa-leasse do. Just outside of work, of course. At work, you know I usually follow your advice anyway, but orders might be frowned upon."
"I think I'm going to enjoy this more than I ever dreamed I would."
