False Start (1985)

Melissa Newman: Dana Sterling

Quotes 

• Dana Sterling : We've got a Code One alert, and we've been ordered to go out there and show the enemy exactly what we're made of or die trying!

  Dante : Yes, ma'am! But dying under the command of a ditzy teenager isn't exactly the way I hoped to go out.

• Colonel Fredericks : [checking in with Dana, who is in the brig]  Accommodations to your liking, Miss Sterling?

  Dana Sterling : Oh, uh, sure! You know, it's almost like being at home.

  Colonel Fredericks : You act as though you're living in a girls' school dormitory, Sterling. Your first day in charge was a disgrace to the service.

  Dana Sterling : Ohh...

  Colonel Fredericks : First you go for a joyride during a yellow alert. Then you willfully damaged police property. And the complaints are still coming in from the private sector! Do you have anything to say for yourself in your defense?

  Dana Sterling : Well, I think a hot shower would be pretty nice.

  Colonel Fredericks : [stunned]  What?

  Dana Sterling : And if I could just change my clothes. Maybe a manicure or something?

  Colonel Fredericks : [under his breath to himself]  Hmm... It's obvious I'm dealing with a moron.
