"Why we are on this particular mission, we'll never know. But I do know, that here today, the Black Knights will emerge victorious once again."
Answer: Jimmy
Jimmy (Harry Connick Jr.) is Steve's best friend. After a briefing about the attack on the alien space-craft, Steve leads his squadron (The Black Knights) into battle. He regrets leaving Jasmine in LA, believing her to be dead. Jimmy assures him that she probably left before it happened. To try to cheer up Steve, he launches into his impression of Reverend Jesse Jackson. About 15 minutes later, he is killed by an alien space-craft.
