Editing Episode 706: A For Alliance, Special Features (section)

=='''''OUTTAKES AND AD LIBS'''''==

(Nika wants to do something fun while Rina and Kiera are off-ship.)<br>
'''Arden:''' Wanna go dancing?<br>
'''Joshua:''' Yes, take her dancing.<br>
'''Nika:''' Ooh, dancing. Wanna tango?<br>
'''Arden:''' (to Joshua) Bye. We’ll be back Monday.<br><br>

(On the water being safe to drink … which devolves into other topics … )<br>
'''Arden:''' It ''seems'' potable. <br>
'''Joshua:''' Good enough for me. I'm cool with this. 80%? I'm cool with it.<br>
'''Arden:''' Yeah but your spousal unit is probably not.<br>
'''Nika:''' (giggling) Heeeeehee<br>
'''Joshua:''' My spousal unit usually requires 99.997 purity. And she never gets 99.997.<br>
'''Rina:''' (Gibb slaps Arden)<br>
'''Arden:''' Are you slapping me? Why?<br>
'''Joshua:''' Because she can't slap me.<br>
'''Nika:''' Because you said 'spousal unit'.<br>
'''Arden:''' Is she not?<br>
'''Rina:''' Yes, I am not.<br>
'''Nika:''' She's his ''wife''.<br>
'''Arden:''' See? Spousal unit. Just like he is her spousal unit.<br>
'''Nika:''' No, where you come from there's spousal units. In the real world, they're husband and wife. <br>
'''Joshua:''' She just called you unreal.<br>
'''Arden:''' You saying there's different words for male and female?<br>
'''Rina:''' (sputtering) Oh, God. I am not listening to this! He's a doctor and doesn't know there's a difference between men and women?<br>
'''Arden:''' I was talking about the difference between husband and wife. There are different words for each thing so obviously there's discrimination. Somebody's discriminated against because you have different words for them.<br>
'''Joshua:''' I should be upset with that.<br>
'''Rina:''' Discriminating is not the same thing as discrimination or prejudice. Yellow. Blue. Different words. One is yellow. One is blue. <br>
'''Joshua:''' Yes. You get to yank his chain one way. I get to yank his chain my way.<br>
'''Arden:''' I have a blue pill and a yellow pill. They do different things.<br>
'''Rina:''' That's good to hear from a doctor.<br>
'''Joshua:''' I knew you were going to say that.<br>
'''Rina:''' What?<br>
'''Joshua:''' I'm yanking your chain. He's yanking your chain. Or I'm yanking both of your chains.<br>
'''Rina:''' If you're going to yank anything, I'd rather you yank something else.<br>
'''Joshua:''' I already made that joke.<br>
'''Nika:''' TMI!<br>
'''Kiera:''' If I'm really hungry and really starving, I will eat the leaves on his beans in hydroponics if I am that desperate.<br>
'''Joshua:''' You don't touch my hydroponics.<br>
'''Rina:''' (laughter)<br> 
'''Nika:''' Daaaaaaaammmmmmmmn<br>
'''Joshua:''' I'm sorry, I thought that was a joke. I'm sorry, what?<br>
'''Rina:''' (More laughter) <br>
'''Joshua:''' Look, the food's good. It meets my satisfaction standards.  80%? That's restaurant-quality passing.<br>
'''Kiera:''' We've been out to the Rim and drank water out of creeks. C'mon, people.<br>
'''Joshua:''' Right, that's what I'm saying.	<br>
'''Nika:''' It's probably cleaner than the water you get out of here.<br>
'''Arden:''' I wouldn't go that far.<br>
'''Joshua:''' We're all good. We are all good. We're all stocked up. It's time to move on. Move on.<br>
'''Kiera:''' Thoroughly. My doctors have advised me to cook everything thoroughly. Fine. (huffs!) Actually, heat really does kill a lot of stuff.<br> 
'''Joshua:''' So tomorrow night we're having sushi and the next night, gazpacho …<br><br>


(on getting some black market gum and Rina stepping off-ship without her usual suspects)<br>
'''Arden:''' Do you think it's worthwhile to get some gum on the black market?<br>
'''Kiera:''' Ooh. Black Market. I'll go.<br>
'''Nika:''' Now why did I know she was going to say that? It sounds like a good idea, actually. At the very least, it would be good to pass along the information.<br>
'''Joshua:''' You had me at 'black market' for it being a good idea.<br>
'''Arden:''' Sounds like a good idea. <br>
'''Nika:''' (imitating Joshua) Because, "awesome"!<br>
'''Joshua:''' I'm not going. I'll let her do it. She doesn't like me when I come along.<br>
'''Nika:''' Joshua, you make me crazy. Do you see why I need a vacation?<br>
'''Joshua:''' No, what did I do?<br>
'''Rina:''' Kiera. Do you need company? <br>
'''Kiera:''' (puzzled) Sure?<br>
'''Rina:'''  You're dealing with criminal elements and I thought you might want someone as back-up in case there's any funny business.<br>
'''Kiera:''' Sure.<br>
'''Rina:''' What are you wearing?<br>
'''Kiera:''' What am I wearing? Clothes.<br>
'''Rina:''' What kind of clothes?<br>
'''Kiera:''' Regular clothes. Why?<br>
'''Rina:''' Civilian?<br>
'''Kiera:''' Yeah. I don't have military clothes.<br>
'''Rina:''' No, no, no. What I mean is—I'm not wearing my vest. Not taking my weapons.<br>
Beglan: Cuz everybody's happy on Persephone.<br>
'''Joshua:''' Happy Black Market dealers.<br>
'''Nika:''' No, wait—What?<br><br>

Rina's not taking her vest. She's not taking her weapons. Nika stares.<br><br>

'''Nika:''' Somethin's wrong with your wife.<br>
'''Kiera:''' I've got her by the hand. She's—<br>
'''Nika:''' Nope! She's leaving her gear at home. There's something wrong with your wife.<br>
'''Joshua:''' She's going without—wow.<br>
'''Nika:''' She's leaving her mesh at home.<br>
'''Rina:''' (relenting) I'll bring my leatherman. I'll be fine.<br> 
'''Joshua:''' (to Nika) It's okay. We're all expanding emotionally. Growing bigger and bigger.<br>
'''Rina:''' What? These people are going to '''happy''' me to death?<br>
'''Joshua:''' (grinning) Man, I can't wait til they happy her to death.<br><br>
