How’d you go at the hospital?
Ah, the CT scan came back clear. Looks like it’s just a few bruised ribs.
You know what that means.
My own personal masseuse. You offering?
Light duties.
S4 E1Night of the Long Knives
I ran that check that you requested on the MV Trader Star, the vessel you just boarded.
Not now RO.
I really think you should look at the piece of paper I just handed you, Sir.
How many times can you turn down promotion without it reflecting poorly on you?
You’d have me off this boat, would you X?
Well, shore posting does have its advantages.
[Mike just grins.]
Ah, salmon vol a vaunts, number five on my list of all time favourite horses doovers.
Fascinating. What’s your number one?
Pig in a blanket.
X, I know all about the ‘no snogging your shipmates’ rule, but there is no rule that says you can’t check them out.
No, no, there is no law against that.
Does anybody... oh, sorry. Can anyone tell me where the gents is?
Bathroom.
How many of those have you had?
Two? Three? I just, um... they’re very nice.
Ah, no, mate, I haven’t spotted the head yet. Might want to try downstairs, though.
Thank you.
Ah, Robert?
Mmm?
Stay away from golf buggies.
And the transsexuals.
[A scene later, he gets attacked and shoved down a flight of stairs.]
You can’t sit in a CO’s chair forever.
I wasn’t thinking forever, just the next year or three.
I flop.
[RO laughs.]
2D2 Dads
You mean you fold.
:[To Bomber.] I just spat on you!
Whatever, I don’t get this game.
:[To RO.] That’s disgusting!
2D2 Dads
What would you prefer to play, Bird? Go Fish?
Hey, don’t knock it, I’m actually pretty good at that one.
S4 E2Crocodile Tears
Well, I guess we’ll see each other once you’ve nabbed those poachers.
Yes, we will.
[2 Dads is showing a croc egg to Bird.]
He wants you to cook it.
2D2 Dads
Don’t listen to him, he’s inhumane.
What do you make of all this, Mike?
I tend to agree. It doesn’t sound like my crew. The Hammersley crew.
Is that separation anxiety speaking?
Maybe just a bit.
It’s good to see you.
We still on for tonight?
Tonight? Absolutely.
2 Dads, I can’t think of anyone on the ship dumber than you are, but clearly there is someone.
So, who do you think he’s protecting?
He fancies Bird. Was it you?
No.
No, Bird was cleaning ovens all night, Bomber.
Not all night, Charge.
Bomb, she didn’t leave the ship.
Where were you, Bomber?
Wasn’t me.
Course it wasn’t.
Oh, come on, she wasn’t even there. [Bomber turns to look at him.] Were you?
Oh, what? So I’m invisible now? Get out of my galley.
[Kate answers the door.]
I thought we had a date.
I thought we cancelled.
I’d just like to know why you walked away from me today.
Because you’ve turned.
And what’s that supposed to mean?
Well, you’re clearly one of the bureaucrats now.
I'm just doing my job, I have responsibilities that come with this new position. Like it or not.
And that includes not supporting your former crew, does it?
I have to be impartial, it’s not personal.
Oh, that is crap. You know, you hide behind this veneer of command. I look at you with your straight back and square shoulders and it is your armour, and you won’t let anyone in, because you’re afraid. You’re an emotional coward, Mike Flynn.
[Mike chuckles unbelievingly.]
And I have put up with it for three years now, and sometimes I think you actually enjoy tormenting me.
Oh, come on, Kate. That’s unfair. You know the regulations.
Yeah, the regulations, they don’t apply anymore, do they? You can’t hide behind them anymore.
[Mike kisses her. She kisses back. The scene morphs to a montage of them, Mike carries Kate to her bedroom, they fall onto her bed, kissing passionately.]
