The I in Team (2000)

Jack Stehlin: Dr. Angelman

Quotes 

• Professor Maggie Walsh : This is your objective. Sub-T-67119. Demon class, Polgara species. Though visual confirmation has not yet been made, we're confident of the target's approximate position, as it leaves behind a distinct protein marker. Dr. Angleman will brief you on its defenses.

  Dr. Angelman : When threatened, bone skewers jut from the creature's forearms during battle. It's imperative when ensnaring it not to damage its arms. That's all you really need to know.

  Buffy Summers : Question.

  Professor Maggie Walsh : Buffy?

  Buffy Summers : Why exactly can't we damage this Polka thing's arms? I-I, um, not-not that I want to. It's just, in my experience, when fighting for your life, body parts get damaged and better its bits than mine. Or ours.

  Dr. Angelman : We wish to study the physiology of every subterrestrial's natural defenses. Part of the research we do here. Uh... Yes?

  Buffy Summers : What do they want?

  Dr. Angelman : Want?

  Buffy Summers : Why are they here? Sacrifices, treasure, or-or they just gettin' rampagy? I find it's easier to predict their responses if I know...

  Dr. Angelman : Uh, they're not sentient, just destructive, I believe.

  Professor Maggie Walsh : They do have keen eyesight, however. You might wanna be suited up for this.

  [Buffy glances at the green-clad commandos around her] 

  Buffy Summers : Oh, you mean the camo and stuff? I thought about it, but, on me, it's gonna look all Private Benjamin.

  [some of the commandos chuckle] 

  Buffy Summers : Don't worry. I've patrolled in this halter many times.

  [all the commandos laugh] 

  Professor Maggie Walsh : Why don't we give our attention to Dr. Angleman...

  [Buffy raises her hand] 

  Professor Maggie Walsh : ... and save all questions until the end?

  Dr. Angelman : Actually, I'm finished.

  Professor Maggie Walsh : Oh. Uh, well, Agent Finn, deploy the teams.

  Riley Finn : Okay, listen up. We'll be going in a four-squad setup. Team Leaders: Gates, Taggart, and Stavros. Alpha Team, you're with me.

  Professor Maggie Walsh : Report for TLs for assignments and weapon requisitions. Reminder: this is a zap-and-trap, people. Capture, not a kill. Any questions?

  [sees a raised hand] 

  Professor Maggie Walsh : Buffy.

• Professor Maggie Walsh : I think we've got a situation.

  Dr. Angelman : The Slayer?

  Professor Maggie Walsh : She's becoming a liability.

  Dr. Angelman : We knew that was a danger. Does she know about the project?

  Professor Maggie Walsh : She knows it exists. She already holds too much influence over Riley, over Agent Finn.

  Dr. Angelman : We move to the contingency scenario?

  Professor Maggie Walsh : Right away.

  Dr. Angelman : It's too bad. She could've been a powerful ally.

  Professor Maggie Walsh : I know.

  Dr. Angelman : And Finn will take it hard.

  Professor Maggie Walsh : That's why sooner is better.
