and now for something completely different...
The Conversation
“This is gonna be so cool, man.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, trust me, it’ll be amazing.”
“Trust you? Last time I trusted you, we ended up in a holding cell and we missed our date with the girls.”
“That wasn’t my fault, man. I told you not to bet on that last round of Dabo.”
“*Sigh*”
“It wasn’t my fault we ran out of money because you gambled too much.”
“You were the one who convinced me to go play Dabo in the first place!”
“So? It was your fault for not quitting while we were ahead.”
“Oh, right! My fault! Like it was MY fault we got arrested for indecency when we went into the women’s changing rooms at the gym, I suppose!”
“Well, you were the one that fell on the wet floor and caused Kira to see us.”
“You were the one who claimed we could get in and out and no one would know!”
“If you hadn’t fallen over, we would’ve.”
“I don’t believe you. You’re unbelievable, you really are.”
“What?”
“Everything always goes wrong when you have these ‘great’ ideas. AND you ALWAYS blame me.”
“I only blame you when it’s your fault!”
“Right! Like that time we tried to get into Commander Grey’s quarters on the Atlirith to get to his Scotch, I suppose? That was MY fault because I didn’t delete the transporter logs properly.”
“Exactly.”
“GAH! I could punch you!”
“Why?”
“Why?! Because you’re the one who keeps convincing me to go along with these crazy ideas of yours!”
“Well, you’re a free-thinking individual, you don’t have to go along.”
“You’re right! Completely right! I’m going. I’m going to go up to Captain Sisko’s office right now and request a transfer off this damn station. I’m going to ask for an assignment on the next ship going on a deep-space mission. A long-range survey trip somewhere a LONG, LONG way from here and more particularly from YOU!”
“…Well, if that’s what you want. But you’ll miss me.”
“No, I won’t.”
“Ha-hem!”
“Oh, no…”
“Constable Odo. What a surprise.”
“I’m not surprised. Not in the slightest…”
“Would either of you two care to explain what you’re doing here, with that…thing?”
“Well, you see…”
“Constable, I’d like to just go to the holding cells now. And can I PLEASE have a separate cell?”
“Why do you want a separate cell, Ensign?”
“Because if I have to share with him I’ll KILL HIM!”
“Hmmm, I suppose I had better put you in separate cells then, for the lieutenant’s protection.”
“Don’t count on him being a lieutenant for much longer…”
“You still going to ask for that transfer?”
“YES!”
