Terry RichmondThe acronym you need to worry about right now is PACE. P-A-C-E. Ever heard of it? It's a planning methodology used for comm systems but they found it could be applied anywhere. Nursing, engineering, parachute infiltrations, posting bail. So the P is for primary, that's me riding into town with my bag of money. A is for alternate, that's the deal we apparently never made. C is my contingency, that's the restaurant owner you put out of business this morning...

Terry RichmondPeople getting hurt now either way. The fire last night...
Terry RichmondGot me thinking about the conversation we had in the cruiser, about de-escalation? That also takes both sides, you know? So I was thinking, what if we just walk away?
Chief Sandy BurnneYou could offer me eternal life or a catfish sandwich and the answer would still be the same, specially since you stopped calling me "sir", which about was the only thing you had going for you.
Terry RichmondWell, see, that's a courtesy I extend only so far, one of the perks of civilian life, you know?
Terry RichmondWell, that's why I'm here. I'm running out of letters. See it's, and I don't mean to reminisce, but uh, one thing I can't shake from the Corps: acronyms. Man, we got tons that seared into my brain.
