S1 E15Unfinished Business

MMichael

So, Jenny's always been pretty mysterious about her past.

That's because my life didn't begin until I met you.

MMichael

No, really, I'm interested.

Oh, it was boring really.

Yep. Just work, 9 'til 5, you know the routine.

MMichael

Not really. I'm a musician.

Wow! That's cool. Are you any good at RockBand? I've got a top score of... Emily!

I can help. If I'm going to be stuck here I can't just sit around.

Emily.

Did a creature come through the gateway?

MMichael

...Is this one of those team-building things?

Yep!

What's team-building?

We should get married here.

Should we?

Well...uh...theoretically...if we were to...to ever...you know...ever go down the road of...you know...go down the road of complete...

I'm going to go get more champagne.

You don't seem surprised.

What, that Lester's still grumpy? No, not really.

That I'm from the 1800's.

Emily, when you've seen what I've seen, trust me - nothing surprises you.

Let me introduce you to Molly.

Molly?

Hang on... you named your stick?

Listen, it was just me and the Terror birds for six months. Believe me, you start naming things.

Becker, it leads to the Victorian Era. What do you think is going to come through, an Oliver-Twist-Asaurus?

(on the phone to Jess) Yes, I've got an anomaly for you, Jess, one of the greatest anomalies known to the western world. Why they call them road works (opens windows and yells) WHEN THERE'S NEVER ANY WORK GOING ON! (closes window and sighs)

(stuck in traffic) A route Jess, any route, just find a way to get me out of here.

You might want to invest in a sat-nav.

Why bother when I've got you?

(sighs) You've had two calls from the cabinet office.

Oh, Yes? what do they want?

Something about a knighthood. They want to set up a meeting with you, something about a vetting process.

Well? What are you waiting for? Get my PA to set it up as soon as possible and find me that route out here fast. Sorry, you did say a knighthood?

Yes. Anything else you need that's not in my job description?

(hangs up and to himself thoughtfully) Sir James Lester... Hmm

[picks up phone] Lester.

Lester, its Becker. I'm afraid the EMD's won't cut it; we're going to need conventional fire power, and that means guns.

How many guns?

Well, as many as you can spare.

Oh, yeah, fine. Perhaps you'd like a tank as well.

What, a tank...

No, no. I was obviously joking.

No, really, a tank?

You can't have a tank! [Pause] Just so I know, who is it exactly that Matt intends to shoot?

What the hell is going on?

The creature took Connor!

Yes, I heard that the first time. What are you doing about it? Look, at the risk of sounding a tad self involved this better not screw up my knighthood. Matt will find him, don't worry. If you were an insect, would you want to eat Connor?

Matt, you know when you asked if there were any other creatures in here?

Connor. How many?

More than I'm entirely happy about.

I hope you got everything you need; Ms Reece.

RReece

Very much so. Frankly you've been most impressive.

With something like this, one does as much as one can to help.

RReece

He must be a dear colleague.

Sorry? Who must be? Sorry, you said a dear colleague. Who'd you mean?

RReece

Well Phillip Burton of course.I'm sure he'll be flattered to know the lengths you've gone for him today.

The knighthood's for him?

RReece

Of course who else?

He's going to be Sir Phillip Burton?

RReece

It has a ring to it dosen't it. If there were any doubts about his suitability, you have certainly put my mind at rest.

Good, good. It's all good, it's all good.[walking back to his office.] Good, good old Phillip, or should I say Sir Phillip! Sir Phillip! Good, good, good. Yep. [ He enters and closes the door]

You’re a genius Connor.

So everyone keeps saying yet here I am surrounded by fifty, giant carnivorous insects. I’m not that smart.

Right, clear the area, I’ll go prep the detonators.

Blowing stuff up, aye Becker, you’re gonna love that.

[Mimes Explosion]

Oh Abby, if this doesn’t turn out so well. You’ll never so much as look at another man.

Forget it; I’ll be dating again within days.

Tell your guys they are not to unlock the freezer under any circumstances okay?

LLeonard

Yes sir... Ma'am.
