• Governor : Well now, exactly what do you expect me to do about this request?

  Capt. Dan Tempest : [Exasperated]  Cut the red tape and give me the gunpowder so that I can get back and fight pirates.

  Governor : Young man, haven't you learned by now - it's red tape that holds the empire together.

• Governor : Captain Tempest, there is quite an abundance of chairs - I am sure that you would be more comfortable if you were to sit in one of them.

  Capt. Dan Tempest : [Blandly replies from his perch on the Governor's desk]  I'm very comfortable here, thanks.
