[Sorry, guys. She's one of those newbies.]

For God's sake. Really? This has got to be a first. Do these people even know who they're taking in? What am I even going to do here? I'm just a radio host back home, not - whatever you think I am.

[She is no soldier worth kidnapping, no, not at all, thank you very much.]

I can't do this.

I won't do this.

[Look. She's even throwing in a pause to show how serious she is.]

Besides, Fred wouldn't begin to know what to do without me. My fiancé? I have a life back home, you know, and it can't wait. So - you ought to put me back. As soon as possible, if that's not too much trouble.

[She has spoken. ... Then she starts to press random buttons because what am this technology.]

... Hello? Can anyone hear me?

If it's fun for you, so much the better! Take advantage of your fun...

[stillbetter]

Well, if that's the only positive thing this place has to offer, I might as well, right?

[payback]

It could be worse!

[stillbetter]

Well, let's not jinx it!

[payback]

Oh, good point! I'll stop saying that now.

[stillbetter]

Good girl.

[payback]

You're going to be okay, anyway. Most people do all right here.

[she inches up her shoulders, dropping them with a tired sigh.]

I can only try, isn't that right.

[payback]

Try or die, I guess. Or... just do nothing, and be bored...

[stillbetter]

Bored I can handle. Dying, not so much.

[payback]

Then you'll probably be fine... if you stay out of the dangerous missions, it's relatively easy not to die.

[stillbetter]

I'll keep that in mind.

[payback]

Good luck.
