Greetings from Earth (1979)

Herbert Jefferson Jr.: Lieutenant Boomer

Quotes 

• Lieutenant Boomer : Everyone we've encountered up till now, every colony or outpost, are, eh, drifters or pioneers who set out from our home planets. Terms, dress, technology, all familiar.

  Lieutenant Sheba : So, what are you saying, Boomer?

  Lieutenant Boomer : That if even a few of the humans we've run across were descendants from the lost 13th tribe, they were stragglers, left behind. Now, here on this ship for the first time, We've actually found human life forms from a technologically advanced civilisation. That's what the whole point of the voyage has been.

• Lieutenant Boomer : Now look, you golmonging snitrag, this is a military bay. You and your men have jurisdiction over civilian personnel only.

  Security Officer Reese : Aren't the people on board that ship civilians?

  Lieutenant Boomer : Well now, we, eh, don't really know that, do we? Maybe they're mercanaries, come here to mow us all down.

  Security Officer Reese : [laughs]  Two adults and four mercenary children. That is an imposing threat. Take your positions.

  Lieutenant Starbuck : [the Colonial warriors draw their weapons]  One more step, black-shirt, and you'll be flatter on your back than those Earthlings in there.

• Security Officer Reese : [drawing his laser gun]  All right, you two, I don't know what you're up to but I've had just about all I'm gonna take from you, now step aside!

  Flight Sergeant Jolly : Reese, now you're endangering the lives of these children! Now surely not even you're that cruel!

  Lieutenant Boomer : [Reese pulls the blankets off the chambers revealing them to be empty]  Jolly, you forgot the kids!
