| Fade in to the Red Ice Planet Base | |
| Simmons: | Well, the base has no heater. No heater means no heat. No heat means no life. We're gonna freeze to death. |
| Grif: | Great. |
| Simmons: | We have fuel, but no igniter, so we can't start it. Command thought this base might be more festive? Ph, I guess our funerals might be a nice family get-together. Hope they take pictures. |
| Grif: | Simmons, I've been thinking 'bout that. Since this is the holidays, Command would have to let us off for religious purposes, right? I mean, if it came up. |
| Simmons: | Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Why, do you have a religious holiday coming up? |
| Grif: | Yeah. |
| Simmons: | I didn't know that. What religion are you? |
| Grif: | Well, that's the thing, see, I looked it up, to see which religion would give me the most days off? |
| Simmons: | I don't think that's how you're supposed to determine your primary philosophical view of the Universe. |
| Grif: | And I saw that a lot of religions do have holidays in December, but there isn't one that has more coverage than the others. |
| Simmons: | Coverage? |
| Grif: | So, I joined all of them. |
| Simmons: | Joined all of what? |
| Grif: | All religions. |
| Simmons: | You joined every religion. |
| Grif: | Yeah. I feel it A, sends a great message of tolerance and inclusion during this holiday season, and B, it means I get to take off all of December. Also most of next year, and all the years after. |
| Simmons: | You can't join every single religion, Grif. |
| Grif: | Says who? |
| Simmons: | Says the religions, it's against their rules! |
| Grif: | Well see that's the thing, the army doesn't ask that I'm good at my religion, it just asks that I pick one. And I did pick one: I picked 'all'. |
| Simmons: | Grif, that is offensive on both a spiritual, and an administrative level. |
| Grif: | Hey, that statement sounded a little intolerant to me. |
| Simmons: | Just help me get this panel off, I need to check the heating coils. |
| Grif: | Can't, day of rest. |
| Simmons: | Hhh, what? |
| Grif: | Today's one of my days of rest. Turns out I now have six days of rest a week. Very convenient. |
| Simmons: | Only six? |
| Grif: | Yeah, noone covers Monday. Apparently it sucks universally. |
| Simmons: | Well, today is Monday, so help me lift this panel. |
| Grif: | It is? No it's not. |
| Simmons: | What does the calendar in your helmet say? |
| Grif: | ... Dammit, I hate Mondays. |
| Tucker: | Hey Reds, are you over here? |
| Simmons: | Oh no, it's the Blues! How did they get here? |
| Tucker: | We got here because of you morons! Our Command transferred us here because you got transferred. And now we're all freezing, thanks. |
| Simmons: | Oh, really. Wow. Yeah that, sounds bad. Sorry about, that. Grif, load your weapon. Get ready to attack. |
| Grif: | Sorry Simmons, organized combat is against eighty-seven percent of my belief systems. |
| Simmons: | Grif! |
| Tucker: | We can hear you in there. |
| Simmons: | Just go away, get back to your base. |
| Church: | Our base is back in Valhalla where it's not freezing. |
| Simmons: | You don't like the cold? What's the matter, no holiday spirit? |
| Grif: | You know, often the journey to enlightenment is a treacherous path, frought with hardship and- |
| Simmons: | Hey, you're not helping. |
| Tucker: | We're stuck here because of you idiots. And we're probably gonna freeze to death. |
| Simmons: | Yeah, well that's too- wait, your heat doesn't work also? I mean, either? I mean, yours. I mean your heat doesn't work? |
| Caboose: | Yeah, we don't have fuel to run it. |
| Church: | Uhh, what he's trying to say is that it works fine. Does yours work? |
| Simmons: | Uh, yes. Maybe. Go away! |
| Grif: | Simmons, how can we turn away the needy during this holiday season? |
| Simmons: | Shut up. |
| Grif: | But they're cold. And hungry. |
| Simmons: | Well, we don't have any food, or any heat. |
| Church: | We heard that. |
| Simmons: | Dammit. |
| Church: | Also I don't ever recall saying that we were hungry. But since you're offering, whattaya got? |
| Tucker: | Screw it, let's just attack. |
