[ Peter's not exactly thrilled to be appearing on film, like handing over his location to the FBI with bells on, and he's not out to try too hard to pretend that he is. But he's taken part in his fair share of interrogations (on both sides) and he can seat himself in front of a camera and look serious.... and entirely well-intentioned, hopefully. ]

I don't do bored. I've never actually done bored very well, but before all of you jump on me and say I should give it a week and there'll be something for me to do- [ he holds up a hand; talk to it. ] I'll save you the time. I believe you.

Absolute chaos and destruction - combined with space's every attempt at a science experiment - should definitely give people something to do. [ Peter talks almost entirely with his hands, gesturing unconsciously all about. ] Not sure i'd expect anything less, but hey, not judging anyone if they choose to keep out of the fray, either. But the rest of the time, in-between one horror movie plot and the next, i'm not capable of sitting around and acting like this is the next best thing to a vacation without the benefits of getting to relax. Even though I can find my fair share of things to do, they won't be accomplishing anything. And at the end of the day there's only so many card tricks I can practice.

[ yes, okay, he's getting on with it. ]

I know there's departments, and I know what most of them are for. [ ... he pauses for a second and then shakes his head. ] Okay, I probably don't know everything they do, and I want to change that. I want to know more. Not sure I know much about farming, i'll just fess up to that now, but what I really want to know, is which departments need the most help. What you're looking for, what I can do to make things easier. Holding down a job isn't exactly a specialty of mine either, but I still want to get involved as much as I just... [ tensing for a moment, he finally sighs. ] -I like a good challenge.

You want to know what I can do? Sure, fine. But i'm only showing you mine if you show me yours.

I wouldn't be adverse to that. That's usually how the best talks start. [ fraud is a bad thing apparently. ] Offering entertainment in the process - this just gets better and better.

Especially when I didn't even know I was taking it in the first place.

I'm remembering you said that in case you get a hangover. [ so is public indecency, who knew? ] I'd throw in something else, but I think it's a sweet enough deal anyway.

Like keeping you on your toes.

Can't even remember the last time I had one of those.... no, that's not entirely true. [ he's just done a hell of a lot of sleeping on couches lately. ] At least space booze's sure to be interesting.

And believe me, I was already in the middle of being kept on my toes before I showed up here. This is just icing on the cake.

That is depressing on so many levels. And wait until you see the colors. They'll surprise you.

I'd say I'm glad to not give you a break from it, but I don't actually care all that much so.

What can I say, i've been busy. And you know, that doesn't actually make me all that much more enthusiastic. There's reasons I avoid martinis named after fruit.

I wouldn't expect you to.

You have had shitty drinks. No shame in an appletini, I'm just saying.

[ tony not everyone is you. ]

And nothing natural is ever that shade of green. Though, martini's aren't exactly found in nature, either.

Not a botanist, but a few leaves are. And that's part of their charm.

Not to mention, that's what a chem lab is for.

If you're drinking anything that came out of a chem lab there's no hope for you.
