"I do appreciate the warning General. Colonel Flagg is a tough nut to crack," Colonel Potter said into the phone, "And I'll also be ready when General Stover gets here. Things aren't too busy right now, but you know how fast that can change."
"Yes, General, I'm happy for General Rice's promotion. Good man. Someone you could always count on. If you are saying that General Stover is a bit like General Rice, that does make me feel a bit better," Potter added, "Sir, thank you for keeping me in the loop."

"Trying to get the lay of the land?" BJ asked.

"His first move is a smart one. Know who you are dealing with," Hawkeye remarked.
"Exactly," spoke Colonel Potter, "And we're his first stop.
