Commander Gampu
- Cmdr. Isaac Gampu: There's a very old saying: "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." I never believed that was true... until now. I'm an old dog. It's too late for tricks.
- Capt. Chris Gentry: [Admiring the items in Gampu's living quarters] You really have some antiques.
- Cmdr. Isaac Gampu: Yes. And I'm one, too, in a manner of speaking. Chris, I've asked you to come by because I want you to do something for me.
- Capt. Chris Gentry: Anything, sir.
- Cmdr. Isaac Gampu: [Handing Chris a paper parcel] I have a letter I want beamed back to Earth on the next document transmission.
- Capt. Chris Gentry: Yes, sir.
- Cmdr. Isaac Gampu: It's a letter... of resignation.
- Capt. Chris Gentry: [Stunned] Commander, no.
- [attempts to hand the letter back]
- Cmdr. Isaac Gampu: I've made up my mind. I can serve the Academy best by resigning my post.
- Capt. Chris Gentry: [Enters carrying an antique spacesuit] Well, here it is.
- Tee Gar Soom: Hey, let me help you put it on.
- Capt. Chris Gentry: No, Tee Gar. I'm not going. Commander?
- [offers the suit to Gampu]
- Cmdr. Isaac Gampu: I can't.
- Capt. Chris Gentry: You must. You have something I don't have - experience. And you have to for Gina. And for yourself.
- Cmdr. Isaac Gampu: You're so young, Chris. And so wise.
- Capt. Chris Gentry: I had the best teacher.
- Lt. Laura Gentry: [Coming alongside Gampu] And you are the best.
- [Tee Gar nods in agreement]
- Capt. Chris Gentry: [Once again offers Gampu the spacesuit] Commander?
- Cmdr. Isaac Gampu: Thank you.
- Gina Corey: Commander, I learned a very important thing today. Theories are fine, but what saved me out there was experience.
- Cmdr. Isaac Gampu: Thank you, Gina. I learned a lesson, too. We all need the experience of age, which I have. And the exuberance of youth, which you have.
- Gina Corey: [Humbly] Thank you, Commander.
