Drowning in science and also vodka. Hope you're having fun.

[twentytwenty]

Didn't we have a rule about that?

[biochemistry]

It's a very careful drowning. Out of the way of anything too dangerous.

I promise.

[twentytwenty]

I'm not going to have to initiate spot checks. Am I?

[biochemistry]

I'm off the clock, and there will be none of this when I'm. Well. On it.

[twentytwenty]

Make sure of that. Though if you plan to do any daredevil stunts, make sure one of us is around to film it. I've always wanted to be Youtube famous.

[biochemistry]

Would any of us being Youtube famous really be wise?

[twentytwenty]

Stark has over 5 Billion Hits.

[ Also he's joking. ]

[biochemistry]

I seem to remember being told to consciously try not to be Tony Stark.

[twentytwenty]

We're trying to be better than Tony Stark.

[biochemistry]

So no Youtube, would be what I'm drawing from that.

[twentytwenty]

A little competition is good for the soul.

[biochemistry]

Healthy competition, I'm sure.

[busdriver]

In the event of an emergency, you can use pretty much anything that isn't nailed down as a flotation device.

[biochemistry]

I'll be sure to remember, though I highly doubt that sort of emergency will take place.

[busdriver]

Depends on the ratio of science to vodka.

[biochemistry]

I promise it's fully safe.

[busdriver]

It's not me you have to convince.

[She won't claim she's just the pilot, but she does deny any seniority.]

[biochemistry]

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything, I'm simply -- saying it.

[busdriver]

And I'm saying I trust you. [ - with the nebulous science stuff, vodka or no vodka. She doesn't need a promise; doesn't know what to do with one now that she has it.]

There's not a lot you could do that would make me feel unsafe. That changes, you'll know.

[biochemistry]

[Pardon that -- it's just Simmons' instinct, she offers those kinds of things to people she respects and very much wants to like her.]

All right, I'll remember that. Yes.

[busdriver]

Is this how you unwind, or is there an occasion?

[biochemistry]

Technically the former, I suppose.

[busdriver]

Technically want company?

[biochemistry]

Certainly!
