On upcoming plots.

You know, being bitten by a poisonous snake and being taken hostage, interrogated about stuff I don't have the answers to anyway, and then rescuing myself? Isn't a normal day at the office. Even for me.

If this is your solution to feeling kind of burnt out right now, I really hope it doesn't turn into some kind of tradition.

At least he has a plan to get off this thing. You heard what he said before, about those first 150 inmates and how only 4 graduated? News flash, Dick: I'm not one of the four.

[batmanschmatman]

You could have been. But apparently it's more fun to slam yourself so hard against the metaphorical wall over and over again until you have turned into someone who's never getting out of here.

[sixthanimorph]

What is gonna take for you to get it? I was always gonna be that person. Me and Heero got here the same time, and he's graduated. Why? Simple - he follows orders. I don't. I'm never gonna get off the Barge your way, Dick, and we both know it.

[batmanschmatman]

That isn't why he graduated. You really just don't understand.

[sixthanimorph]

Yeah, whatever. I'm the one who doesn't understand. Well, fine, explain it if I'm not getting it because I'm just a dumb kid.

[batmanschmatman]

You and Heero were on the Barge for entirely different reasons. You can't compare yourself to him, and it had nothing to do with following orders. You really think Olive was the sort of warden to give orders for people to follow?

[sixthanimorph]

I barely knew her, how would I know? All I know is that Heero's graduated and I'm not, and he was a good soldier and worked with the wardens the whole time. And I've tried listening to you and Tim, doing what you tell me to do, but apparently that's just not enough. And it's never gonna be.

[batmanschmatman]

You don't listen to us. You hear what you want to hear, and then get mad at us when we point out you messed up.

[sixthanimorph]

How the hell do you even figure that?! I've listened to you plenty. I backed down from so much because you and Tim asked me to, it's not even funny.

[batmanschmatman]

And then you do things like attack Dean because "that's what we would have done".

[sixthanimorph]

I fought him and I didn't kill him. I followed your rules.

[batmanschmatman]

Those aren't our rules. I can't believe we're still having this conversation.

[sixthanimorph]

I can't believe I'm still stuck here. Guess we're even.

[batmanschmatman]

You're stuck because you don't listen, jump to conclusions and run into things without thinking about the consequences because you don't want to feel weak or like people don't respect you. Figure out how to think things through before you dig yourself any deeper in this hole.

[sixthanimorph]

Shut up! Shut up! I'm not weak! I'm stronger than any of you, and I'll prove it!

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah, this is the problem I'm talking about.

[sixthanimorph]

You know what, Dick? Fuck you. I'm sick of you looking down on me and I don't have to take it.

[batmanschmatman]

And I'm sick of you twisting what I've said, so I guess we're even.
