    There was an episode of Stargate SG-1 where the Stargate is broken and General Hammond shares this (paraphrased) exchange with Sergeant Siler:

    Hammond: How long until you fix it? Siler: About two hours sir. Hammond: Not fast enough, you have 30 minutes. Siler: No sir, it doesn’t work like that. 2 hours is the best I can do. Hammond: Then get back to it.

      Respectable. Anxious commander attempting to cut down the time that a critical mission will take, and accepting the response that it isn’t possible with a minimum of further distraction.
