Out of curiosity, how many of you have a training or a specialty? It doesn't have to be necessarily related to combat or weapons, of course, but being able to drink everyone on the Barge under the table - though commendable - doesn't count.

[She imagines combat/weapon-related ones will be the most popular, but she'd still like to know how much of a diversity (or lack thereof) there is.]

Out of further curiosity, what is it?

[There are enough smart-asses on board she thinks would just say they have training and leave it at that.]

And for those that don't have any, why not?

I think you've been taking acting classes from our former lieutenant.

I didn't want to hurt the lad's spirit, Corporal, with too convincing of an act.

At least you're not wearing balloons.

Christ, I wonder if this is what witnesses feel like when Sam and I do our thing.

I'd imagine they're less entertained.

I'd like to think I have more sense than that.

Well, we'd all like to think lots of things about ourselves.

You are the expert, Corporal.

[Wow. Polly. Rude.]

That's also one of my strengths, in the right light. Thank you very much.

I never insinuated otherwise.

Unless, of course, you mean to say that you were.

I never insinuate anything.

Of course not. That's what I thought.

[Polly and Mal are always void of emphasis in their speech, ofc.]

Well thank goodness we're clear on that.

[Now this is just getting silly.]

I don't believe there was ever a misunderstanding.

[Now? Really?]

Sergeant . . .

Corporal?

I regret to inform you that I've forgotten what we're talking about.

No matter, Corporal. I believe we are done for now.

Oh, we've made our point? Excellent. Medals all around.

Drinks later?

Obviously.

I'll see you in an hour then.

[Slow clap from the peanut gallery.]

Corporal, an encore may be in-demand.
