Jim Harper: Did we go to Afghanistan because you cheated on Will?
Mackenzie McHale: Can I get a little privacy?
Jim Harper: Not until you learn how to send an email.
Mackenzie McHale: You got invaluable experience.
Jim Harper: I got shot in the ass.
Mackenzie McHale: Well be grateful you weren't facing the other direction.

Genres: Drama
Factual error: Most of what Will says about the Challenger's O-rings is wrong. First of all, he says they are meant to keep hydrogen from leaking out of the SRB. SRB stands for Solid Rocket Booster, meaning they use solid fuel, not hydrogen. The hydrogen was in the external fuel tank. Second, the O-rings were tested for cold, and NASA engineers recommended against launching that day, with one of them even refusing to sign off on the paperwork if the launch was to go forward. NASA overruled them and went ahead with the launch anyway, with all the disastrous consequences that ensued.
Trivia: Jeff Daniels won his Leading Actor Emmy Award for season two the night before he began filming Dumb and Dumber To.
