Book 15: Delegates and Delegation — Part I: Confidence

Transcript

MURTAUGH: Ambassador, Meld-Minister, we shall shortly be receiving U.N.S. inspectors.

HIOEFUA: Is there a problem?

MURTAUGH: No, an opportunity.  This ship is an example of the vast riches at your disposal.

Wowing some U.N.S. inspectors now will save you time climbing the "take-a-number" ladder later.

HIOEFUA: Of course.  Good thinking.

HIOEFUA: Oh, and Captain?  I follow the ladder metaphor, but it exposes your heavier-than-air biases.

MURTAUGH: *thought bubble* Don't make a "diplomats are full of hot air" joke, Murtaugh.
