Quotes 

• [Capt. Freeman is chiding Mariner for stealing the Cerritos] 

  Captain Carol Freeman : Honey, you have so much potential, but if you're ever going to amount to anything, it won't be because you saw me as an authority.

  Alonzo Freeman : And we know how often you listen to me.

  Ensign Beckett Mariner : Ugh, here we go, I'm being, what, demoted and transferred again?

  Alonzo Freeman : Where would you go? The Cerritos is still your last chance.

  Captain Carol Freeman : But I can't be the one to rein you in. As your mother, I could never kick you out of Starfleet.

  [going to door] 

  Captain Carol Freeman : However, I know someone who isn't burdened by family ties.

  [door chimes] 

  Captain Carol Freeman : Come.

  [the door opens, revealing Commander Ransom] 

  Ensign Beckett Mariner : No! Not him, not him! No, no, no...

  Captain Carol Freeman : Ensign Beckett Mariner, I'm giving your full and final oversight to Commander Ransom. If you do in fact want to remain in Starfleet, it's going to be his call.

  [Freeman and Admiral Mariner walk away] 

  Commander Jack Ransom : Thank you, captain.

  [turns to Ensign Mariner leeringly, and whispering] 

  Commander Jack Ransom : . As far as you're concerned, Mariner, I'm your *mama* now.
