PERI: Captain... Commodore. And captains... Sirs...
Why am I in this meeting?
PERI: You tell me this crappy conflict of objectives is not my fault, but then you say stuff to make me feel guilty about it.
ENNESBY: To maintain our legal status as "family" for the crisis clause, the company needs you to appear to be in command.
PERI: So, what... the agonizing guilt is supposed to be practice?
MURTAUGH: No, but that would have been pretty clever of us.
