- Wedge: "Never mind what I just said. Let's just shoot Wes."
- Tycho: "What's our strategy?"
- Hobbie: "I thought we'd just all draw and fire. But I could count down to zero and then we could draw and fire."
- ―Wedge Antilles, Derek "Hobbie" Klivian and Tycho Celchu, about Wes Janson[src]
- Wedge: "Good screaming, Hobbie."
- Hobbie: "I practice a lot. Anytime Wes makes plans for the squadron, for example. Anytime a Corellian cooks for us."
- ―Wedge Antilles and Derek "Hobbie" Klivian[src]
- Wedge: "We have the right tools to subvert our Imperial admiral."
- Hobbie: "What tools?"
- Wedge: "Oh, Wes's maturity, your optimism, and my diplomatic skills."
- Hobbie: "We're doomed."
- ―Wedge Antilles and Derek Klivian[src]
"There are three kinds of dress clothing. The kind that offends the wearer, the kind that offends the viewers, and the kind that offends everybody. I'm going for the third type. Fair is fair."
―Derek Klivian, commenting on his choice of attire for a court dinner with the perator of Cartann
―Derek Klivian, commenting on his choice of attire for a court dinner with the perator of Cartann
- Hobbie: "You lied to me."
- Wedge: "I did. With my brilliant achievements in the diplomatic profession has come the realization that lies can be powerful motivators."
- Hobbie: "My faith is shattered."
- Wedge: "You knew, when I said we needed four sets of women's clothing, that we were going to end up in them. You knew. So any hopes you had to the contrary were just self-delusion."
- Hobbie: "I understand that. But I'd rather blame you than me."
- ―Wedge Antilles and Derek Klivian[src]
"Your ability to talk people into wanting to kill you borders on some kind of Jedi thing, you know that?"
―Derek "Hobbie" Klivian, on Wes Janson
―Derek "Hobbie" Klivian, on Wes Janson
- Janson: "You look like some weird cross between a starfighter pilot and a Batravian gumplucker."
- Hobbie: "Wes, I don't even know what that is."
- Janson: "Sure you do, Hobbie. A starfighter pilot is a guy who flies an X-wing without getting blown up. Check the Basic Dictionary. Though I can understand how you get confused."
- ―Wes Janson and Derek Klivian, after the latter's craft was disabled[src]
- Janson: "They're calling me 'the darling one.' "
Wedge: "Who is?"
Janson: "The court, the crowds. They have tags for us all now, and I'm the darling one. Tycho is 'the doleful one.'"
Tycho: "I'm not sad."
Janson: "No, but you look sad. Makes the ladies of Cartann's court want to comfort you. They're so sad about wanting to comfort you that you could comfort them."
Hobbie: "And Tycho the only one of us with a successful relationship with a woman. Missed opportunities, Tycho."
Janson: "Hobbie is 'the dour one.' Not too much romance in that, Hobbie. And Wedge is 'the diligent one.' That may not sound too romantic, Wedge, but 'diligent' has a couple of colloquial meanings here that add to your luster—"
Wedge: "I don't want to know."
—Wes Janson, Wedge Antilles, Tycho Celchu, and Derek "Hobbie" Klivian discuss their nicknames on Adumar[src]
- Hobbie: "Hang in there. I'm good at rescuing gorgeous damsels in distress."
- Iella: "You realize I'm married."
- Hobbie: "Got a sister who'll be happy you're alive?"
- ―Derek "Hobbie" Klivian attempts to hit on Iella Wessiri[src]
- Janson: "No friends left. We've managed to make everyone hate us."
- Tycho: "I thought that's what you'd been trying to achieve your whole life."
- Janson: "Good point. What am I complaining about? No, wait, I know – they haven't yet erected statues of us to throw rotten fruit at."
- Hobbie: "Give us another day."
- ―Wes Janson, Tycho Celchu, and "Hobbie" Klivian, unpopular on Adumar[src]
- Wedge: "Whatever they expect us to do, we don't do. Four, what do they expect us to do?"
- Hobbie: "Run out toward the gate and get shot."
- Wedge: "Correct. So we don't."
- ―Wedge Antilles and Derek "Hobbie" Klivian, running the gauntlet on Adumar[src]
- Tomer: "The refresher. You'll be dealing with unfamiliar plumbing, which you'll probably think of as backworld stuff, so I'll need to show you how the devices work."
- Hobbie: "A refresher course."
- Janson: "You beat me to it."
- ―Tomer Darpen, helping to familiarize Rogue Squadron with their refresher and other amenities on Adumar[src]
- Wedge: "So we send out one squadron an hour or two ahead of each major formation. Pilots skilled at terrain-following flying. They fly beneath the altitude at which lightbounce sensors start to be active and set up in deep cover beneath the projected engagement zone. Because, until they break up to pursue enemies, Cartann squadrons tend to fly in pretty close formations—"
- Janson: "So our advance units can fire their missiles up at their squadrons passing overhead. Perhaps taking out multiple fighters per missile in those first few seconds."
- Hobbie: "Ooh. I volunteer. I want that. Let me do that. Please."
- Wedge: "Have you ever seen behavior like this?"
- Tycho: "Only when he really, really needs to run to the refresher. Hobbie, why?"
- Hobbie: "Because I am sick of it. I'm sick to death of 'Hello, I'm so-and-so and I've killed this many enemies, and I challenge you, and we bow and go by the rules and say cute things to one another, and isn't it nice that we're all dead now?' Tycho, I want to shoot something. I want to blow something up. No apologies. No advance warning. Just lethal efficiency. Before frustration kills me."
- Tycho: "More words than he's strung together at once since I've known him. All right, Hobbie. You'll be in charge of the advance squadron for lead group."
- Janson: "I don't think he's entirely sane right now. I'd better stay with him."
- ―Wedge Antilles, Wes Janson, Derek Klivian, and Tycho Celchu discuss tactics on Adumar[src]
- Hobbie: "Have I told you today how much I really, really hate you?"
- Janson: "Oh, sure, your lips say 'I hate you' but your eyes say—"
- Hobbie: "That someday I'll murder you in your sleep?"
- ―Derek "Hobbie" Klivian and Wes Janson[src]
- Inyri: "I was thinking we ought to offer him General Han Solo."
- Hobbie: "Don't do that. If Zsinj kills Solo, Wedge might be appointed to fill the vacancy."
- ―Inyri Forge and Derek "Hobbie" Klivian[src]
- Hobbie: "Okay, ejection failure. And astromech damage. Crippled here, awaiting manual pickup."
- Wedge: "Little busy right now, Hobbie. We'll get to you after we dust these TIEs."
- Hobbie: "Take your time. I'm not going anywhere. Except, y'know, thataway. Slowly. Real slowly."
- ―Derek "Hobbie" Klivian and Wedge Antilles[src]
- Hobbie: "How come we never have these superweapons that could eliminate a problem like that?"
- Wedge: "Because, Hobbie, we rely on pluck, courage, and skill instead of capital expenditure."
- Hobbie: "I guess, then, that the rumors of a raise are not true?"
- ―Derek "Hobbie" Klivian and Wedge Antilles[src]
- Hobbie: "Hooray, we'll make it to the building before the swoopies will. We can defend it as ordered, Janson!"
- Janson: "That leaves us only one problem."
- Hobbie: "What's that?"
- Janson: "Uh, Hobbie, what are we defending with?"
- Hobbie: "Our good looks and trenchant wit?"
- Janson: "That's quite enough defeatist talk, thank you."
- ―Derek "Hobbie" Klivian and Wes Janson defend against an attack on the wedding of Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade[src]
