Cardinal of the Kremlin

• The exchange between Filitov and Corporal Romanov's ghost:

Romanov: Both your sons, and your wife. Tell me, Comrade Captain, for what did we die? Filitov: We fought for the Soviet Union, Corporal. Romanov: Did we, now? I seem to remember fighting for Mother Russia, but mainly I remember fighting for you, Comrade Captain... a soldier fights for his comrades. I fought for my family. You and our troop, they were my only family. I suppose you also fought for your family, the big one and the little one. I always envied you that, my Captain, and I was proud that you made me part of both in the way that you did. Filitov: I avenged you, Romanov. I got the Mark-IV that killed you. Romanov: I know. You avenged all the dead of your family. Why do you think we loved you? Why do you think we died for you?

Debt of Honor

• The exchange between the American and Russian observers of the destruction of the last Nuclear ICBMs each country had. One Russian toasts with a US operative above the destroyed missile silo, whereas another American in another location shares a friendly beer with his new comrade.
• John Clark, on an operation in the Marianas, meets with Manuel "Portagee" Oreza, an old friend from two decades in the past. That John Kelly had been dead for those last twenty years came crumbling down with tears.
