Now this is...promising.

I don't expect we're able to direct calls to those of our choosing?

That doesn't give you the license to keep pushin' me. I already passed all my physicals.

[He has Scorpius to thanks for showing him just how durable he really is, but no way in hell is he gonna be grateful for that. Ignorance would have been bliss in this case.]

Yeah Scorp, do you?

[Since when does he wait for a license where it concerns you, Crichton?]

It may surprise you to hear, but I do.

You may have paved the way for more destruction than you know.

[His point exactly.]

Oh come off it. I am not responsible for your two races getting into it with each other. I shouldn't even have a horse in this race.

Of course you're not responsible. You're not even a party to this war.

You're the weapon.

And I do not ask a pulse pistol its opinion before I shoot something.

Your pulse pistol isn't a living thing, but I am.

Hell, if Winona had an opinion, I might listen to the goddamn thing. I might learn something.

Yes; this makes you more of a difficulty to deal with.

[It's like owning an atomic bomb with the desire to run away whenever it wants]

Why should I entertain your opinions, John?

Oh boo hoo.

[This atomic bomb does what it wants.]

I’d tell you ‘because it’s the decent thing to do’ but we both know that argument’s past its prime.

More often than not, I find your thoughts misguided and naive.

All the more reason for you to mind your own business and stay out of them! I'm through explaining myself to you.

Evidently so.

Enjoy your vacation, John. I'll see you soon.

No Scorpius, you won't.

[He hangs up.]
