EBBY: Since we're not fighting actual gravity here, you're good for dozens of hours of flight time before you'll need a recharge from the drop-pod.

EBBY: Suits like the one you're in served this company well for years.

MURTAUGH: Then why is everybody else wearing a hardsuit?

EBBY: Sergeant Schlock isn't wearing a hardsuit.
