First things first - Initiative? Really? Come on, couldn'tcha be at least a little original? I mean I'm having a serious case of been there, done that. And for the record? Not really looking forward to doing it again. I've had the tour, I've seen the shinies - and I'll say again. Not interested. Opposite of interested. Me and freaky government strongholds go way back. We had a very hot and heavy relationship, but we're seeing other people now, and both of us are better for it. So, second thing? If you could just, you know - help a girl out and point me toward the nearest exit? That'd be real peachy. Failing that? I'm not your strong-arm. You can't control me. Don't even try.

[ It sounds like she's done, but then there's rustling, and she comes back. ]

Oh, neat um -- neat weapon thingy. By the way. Looks like it might be stolen tech from someone very unsavory. But you almost had me drooling. I'm watching you.

Ignore my jackass of a brother. He means well, he just speaks asshole.

[defending]

That's your brother? You two look nothing alike.

[bikininspector]

And thank God for small blessings.

video.

[defending]

You definitely have better hair.

[bikininspector]

[Congratulations, you get an actual laugh.]

It's the reward of the righteous, clearly.

video.

[defending]

That explains why mine's always flawless.

video.

[bikininspector]

We gotta get something for playing nice.

video.

[defending]

We don't get paid, so we get good hair. I think it might be a fair trade. Almost.

video.

[bikininspector]

When you say it like that -- we got screwed.

video.

[defending]

Hey, hey! My hair is awesome, thanks.

video.

[bikininspector]

No - yeah - it is. Just, you know. Not that big of a deal for me.

video.

[defending]

Oh, come on. Guys can totally work the hair angle.

video.

[bikininspector]

The sad eyes angle works better.

video.

[defending]

[ ... REALLY. ] Sad-eyes angle, huh?

video.

[bikininspector]

Ridiculously effective, I'm telling you.

video.

[defending]

I feel like I need to see proof of this at some point in my time here.

video.

[bikininspector]

Something to look forward to.

video.

[defending]

I feel like I'd be okay at resisting. I have a little sister.

[bikininspector]

[He laughs]

All the same, I like the intelligence card a lot more.

[And he's not really going to even try to work any play on anyone in the foreseeable future. It still feels like cheating on Jess.]

video.

[defending]

So you play the brains thing, and everybody falls all over you, huh? Seems like a decent policy.

[ She can respect that, man. ]

video.

[bikininspector]

[He shakes his head]

Nah, I play the brains thing, and I get someone who plays the same.

[Not really the one-night-stand sort of guy.]

video.

[defending]

Sounds like a solid plan to me. Not many guys still do that.

video.

[bikininspector]

We're not all my brother.

video.

[defending]

Thank god. [ she cant help laughing though. ] Is he always like this?

video.

[bikininspector]

No, sometimes he's worse.

[He shakes his head]

He's a good guy he's just -- he grows on you.
