Simmons: Captain's Log, The year is 25-
Grif: Seriously?
Simmons: (screams) Grif?!
Grif : You're seriously starting with "Captain's Log".
Simmons: Well, what else should I start with?
Grif: Uhh... literally anything?
Simmons's (and Grif's) name is typed in above.
Simmons: Finally, after years of service of loyalty, I've been given my own platoon.
Grif: (promptly) Two soldiers, Simmons. You were given two soldiers.
Simmons: The burden of responsibility weighs heavily upon my back, but I must endure. I must become a beacon of hope for my men.
Grif: (promptly) Women.
Simmons: Well, yeah, but that's fine.
Grif: Oh no, it's totally fine. I take your squad over mine any day.
Simmons: Okay then, what's your point?
Grif: My point is you revert back to what I can only assume is your awkward high school years whenever you talk to them.
Simmons: That's not true.
Grif: You're right. Sorry. You were definitely awkward through college, and also basic training, and AIT, and the first five years in the canyon.
Simmons: Grif, why don't you record your own journal, you know, somewhere else?
Grif: Because I already finished.
Simmons: Wait, really?
Grif: Well, it should be finished soon. I told my boys to record it for me in their bunks.
Simmons: You ordered your men to record your personal log.
Grif: And to bring me some bacon burritos from the mess hall.
Simmons: What?!
Grif: It's like a normal burrito, but instead of a tortilla, I use-
Simmons: Grif, that's an extreme abuse of your position of power.
Grif: No, it's extreme training for special ops missions. Get on my level, Simmons.
Simmons: I'm reporting this to Kimball.

Matthews: Captain Grif, I've retrieved the package, sir. Quartermaster never knew I was there.
Grif: Excellent work, Matthews.
Matthews: So, what now, sir?
