D'oh... and here I was working out the relationship between all the A-Team
members and the participants in the final battle there at the end of
Issola... "The Dragaeran A-Team"...

Damn, it was so appropriate, too:

	Every so often, there's a catch phrase from the movies or television that
just seems to stick in your mind and be absolutely appropriate for certain
situations. Arnold Schwarzenegger made, "I'll be back," famous. Then, of
course, there are Clint Eastwood's immortal words, "Go ahead. Make my day."

	For me, the one that often seems to resonate just right is, "I love it when
a plan comes together." I picture Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith of the
A-Team, perfectly played by George Peppard with a sly smirk and a cigar
jutting jauntily out of his mouth. He'd remark, "I love it when a plan comes
together," right after a tough battle, where somehow he'd manage to make
everything work, and the team, of course, came out victorious.
