Ship - Tranquility - I have a bit of a crisis-

So I need everyone to stop a moment and think very hard, and I mean incredibly hard, about this, because forget the bloody temperature and the mess with all that and everything else because, well.

...I've run out of tea.

Proper tea, not the space tea that tastes like the stuff you get from the blank boxes that they sell at the Co-op. Or worse, the off-stuff from Tescos.

Does anyone have real tea?

Oh, please, you so keep a stash.

Well - well - first, if I did, it would be for, for, for, for private use -

Private use.

If I had any.

Right, and you're saying, if you had any, you wouldn't share it. With us.

Well -

[Uh - ]

It's...It wouldn't be much. Hardly enough for six cups.

Or twelve half-cups.

Well, tea's not generally served in half-cups, is it.

When we're rationing your secret stash, it's served in half-cups.

Right, that - if - if - if it were to be rationed. But since it, it doesn't exist, it can't be, and even if it did, that would be my decision to make.

Absolutely. Absolutely, yeah. And you'd decide against it, of course, because we don't matter very much. Your friends.

Oh, as though you wouldn't do the same.

Well, that's just not true. If I had a secret stash of tea that could benefit everyone? I'd give it out.

But I don't.

Wh...Well, all right, but you're dating Annie. It doesn't count.

I'd share it with you, does that count?

[and they AREN'T dating is the point here are you listening to this Lucy "maybe you two are a thing" Jaggat i hope you are]

You're just trying to, to - to guilt me.

Hey, I'm just trying t' help Annie.

Right, by guilting me!

George, you're the one that does the guilt. I'm just asking you to share.

I'm - I'm not - I'm not guilty. You haven't succeeded, and - and Annie certainly hasn't, either. I don't feel a bit of guilt. It's - It's my right to keep tea, if I choose. You haven't any right to, to, to, to, to, to judge me. Because I - I - I - I - I deserve my own things. A private life. It's - I have a right to that. And you, you, you, you oughtn't treat that like something...something...

It's my tea!

So you do have tea! I knew it, I fuckin' knew it--

[Scandalized:]

So what - what - what - what was this? Some sort of, of, of, of, of entrapment -

Oh, come on, like it was any big secret. I hardly had to entrap anyone, you practically confessed to it when I first brought it up.

Well - that's - because - I don't think it's a crime! I think I've a right.

The right to selfishness. Oh, that's nice.
