''(door opens, Jersey enters)''<br />

'''Jersey:''' Hey, thanks.<br />

'''Durga:''' You're smarter than people give you credit for.<br />

'''Jersey:''' Which people?<br />

'''Durga:''' Tell me what's wrong. I can help.<br />

'''Durga:''' Time-stamped 5 months ago to a night he bought a case of beer.<br />

'''Jersey:''' I never get cool stuff in the mail. Uh, besides you.<br />

'''Durga:''' Hm. Well, you'll like this.<br />

'''Durga:''' She's winning...<br />

'''Durga:''' So why does the IRS want to audit you?<br />

'''Jersey:''' You did read my mail!<br />

'''Durga:''' You know, I'm not quite sure how we can test that.<br />

'''Jersey:''' You can't channel tax money to me, taxes are for a reason. I mean, roads, drinking water...<br />

'''Durga:''' I'm ''sure'' you'd use it wisely.<br />

'''Durga:''' I could kill him... Would that help?<br />

'''Jersey:''' No!<br />

'''Durga:''' Okay.<br />

=="Thin Kinkle" [[Janissary James]]==

*[http://transmit.ilovebees.com/surveillance_archive/week3_subject2.wav Jan Audio Compilation 7min 22sec]  

'''[[Gladys Wilson|Gladys]]:''' Whew, that was a mighty fine dinner, little lady.<br />

'''Jan:''' Yeah, you know, pushing the ''synthesize button'' - it's an art form.<br />

'''Gladys:''' Then I reckon I can help you dump. You go watch some sports, Jim. The ladies'll clean up.<br />  

'''Gladys:''' He's a good man, your father.<br />

'''Jan:''' If you're not his daughter. If you're his daughter, he's a jackass.<br />

'''Jan:''' Does he know you're in here, like, encouraging insurrection?<br />

'''Gladys:''' Oh sure, your daddy just wants to keep you safe.<br />

'''Jan:''' I know.<br />

'''Jan:''' And that's okay, hey, I'm grateful. But, let me do something with it. Let me do something...<br />

'''Gladys:''' Hmm. You've got something to prove.<br />

'''Jan:''' Just to myself.<br />

'''Gladys:''' Yeah, well, soothing isn't my long suit. Don't you worry about your dad, I rank him anyhow.<br />

'''Jan:''' Can I get a table?<br />

'''Waitress:''' Hey, what are you doing in here?<br />

'''Waitress:''' Shh... dammit, zip up your shirt all the way and shut up!<br />

'''Thin:''' For the sake of argument, say I slide you this time. Sends a message doesn't it? "Come on over! Free lunch on Thin!" -- Ain't happenin' Paolo! Ain't happenin!<br />

'''Paolo:''' Oh, oh god god, oh god, please god, think of my family!<br />

'''Jan:''' Reality, huh? Thanks, Aunt Gladys. Hey! Nobody told me it was dime-store bully night, is there a drink special with that?<br />

'''Thin:''' Come to the mall, nice little girl. No babysitting jobs at Sharfie's tonight... Is that the tip of an M6 I see poking out from under your jacket, babysitter, or are you just excited to meet Thin Kinkle?<br />

'''Jan:''' [[M6C Personal Defense Weapon System|M6C]].<br />

'''Jan:''' Gee, you're welcome. (draws and cocks M6C; to Thin) ''Let him go''.<br />

'''Thin:''' Now, see that was a young move. Whoever's running you needs to smooth out some ''edges'' here. You can't put the hammer to Thin in his own place! I got a deal for you.<br />

'''Jan:''' Yeah?<br />

'''Thin:''' I guess then, if I win, I'll find some... babysitting for you to do.<br />

(playing moons)<br />

'''Thin:''' Tricky game, moons! You hit too hard - they stick, too soft - they skate. Do it just right, and they obey your commands. They. Work. For you.<br />

'''Jan:''' Uh huh. Or, you can slap them so hard, they run for cover. (sinks a ball)<br />

'''Jan:''' Bark at them, and they jump. Tickle them (giggles), and they laugh. (seductive) ''Kiss'' them, and they fall in love. (boastful) And if you shoot them, 8 off the rags, play the kiss on the suicide bar backspin into the corner pocket... I say - shoot them - they die.<br />

(applause)  

'''Thin:''' You win Babysitter, here's your skin.<br />

'''Paolo:''' I'll have to move to Africa now, it's someplace nobody ever goes. It's, Tibet, or it's... Antarctica, or... ''Indiana'' for God's sake.<br />

'''Thin:''' Maybe drop off a resume on your way out the door. Good looking crazy girls with guns I've always got work for them.<br />

'''Jan:''' Yeah, I'm more of an independent study girl.<br />

'''Thin:''' I could teach you some things... but, it's your funeral.<br />

=="Chicken Dinner" ([[Kamal Zaman|Kamal]])==

*[http://transmit.ilovebees.com/surveillance_archive/week3_subject3.wav Audio Compilation 7min 27sec]  

'''[[Hiroyuki|Hiro]]:''' What is that?<br />

'''[[Kamal Zaman|Kamal]]:''' It's a chicken.<br />

'''Hiro:''' I'm going out for dinner...<br />

'''Hiro:''' Is it supposed to look like that?<br />

'''Kamal:''' What?<br />

'''Hiro:''' Just that, when you do your surgery rotation, I want to be in another state.  

'''Kamal:''' You wait! Soon - everyone will cut their chickens like this!<br />

'''Hiro:''' Uh, what about the people who want the skin left on?<br />

(knocking)  

(door opens)<br />

'''Together:''' Hi!<br />

'''Sophia:''' (giggle) Warned?<br />

'''Kamal:''' I had to make some substitutions in the recipe.<br />

'''Sophia:''' Oh. Um, do you think it's done?<br />

'''Kamal:''' Microwave it longer?<br />

'''Sophia:''' Sure.<br />

'''Kamal:''' Hiro! Aren't you going to be late?<br />

'''Sophia:''' All day I was hoping you would take me for pizza...<br />

'''Kamal:''' Shut up!<br />

'''Sophia:''' (giggles) Oh, I dunno about that. You should meet my little brother.<br />

'''Kamal:''' When she was 4, I taught her to play backgammon. I was 8. I won the first 2 times we played, and then never again.<br />

'''Sophia:''' (laughing) You must suck.<br />

'''Sophia:''' I think your sister was very lucky.<br />

'''Kamal:''' She had a very active imagination, so like, once a week she would completely terrify herself. She would sneak into my room when she was supposed to be--<br />

'''Sophia:''' --poking you over and over and over again until you woke up?<br />

'''Sophia:''' I'm so sorry.<br />  

'''Sophia:''' Do you want to tell me what happened?<br />

'''Kamal:''' She died from something called, uh, metabolic cascade failure... which is doctor speak for, everything falls apart. She couldn't talk when she got back from the hospital, and couldn't walk a few weeks later.<br />

'''Sophia:''' It wasn't your fault, Kamal.<br />

'''Kamal:''' Of course it wasn't.<br />

'''Sophia:''' But you felt guilty.<br />

'''Sophia:''' Yeah...<br />

(rain pours)<br />

'''Sophia:''' (giggles) Thanks for dinner Kamal. And, next time you want chicken, you buy it and call me and I'll come over and cook it for you.<br />

(she kisses him, either on the cheek or the mouth)<br />

'''Kamal:''' You want to come inside? Just for a minute.<br />

'''Sophia:''' Kamal... You know that wouldn't be right.<br />

=="The ''Apocalypso''" (Herzog)==

*[http://transmit.ilovebees.com/surveillance_archive/week3_subject5.wav Audio Compilation 2min 58sec]  

'''[[Unidentified lieutenant (Section 0)|Lieutenant]]:''' It's a little early for wine, isn't it, sir?<br />

'''[[Herzog]]:''' On the contrary, it's very nearly too late.<br />

'''Herzog:''' I guess you jumped for joy when you heard you'd been transferred to me, huh?<br />

'''Lieutenant:''' I requested the posting, sir.<br />

'''Herzog:''' You did?<br />

'''Herzog:''' Here's to Jericho that fell, and a [[Sigma Octanus IV]] that did not.<br />

'''Lieutenant:''' Here-here, sir. (drinks, coughs)<br />

'''Herzog:''' Well, it's not to everybody's taste...<br />

'''Herzog:''' The object was roughly the size of a tire. A [[Deep-space artifact|Covenant artifact]] of a completely new design unlike anything we've seen before, and frankly pretty inscrutable. I talked to the Apocalypso's captain, that's how.<br />

'''Lieutenant:''' Where are the records?<br />

'''Herzog:''' Well surely the blast that knocked the ship out of the slipstream and took down the whole planet's comm channels erased all the computer records.<br />

'''Herzog:''' She's dead.<br />

'''Lieutenant:''' Oh.<br />

'''Herzog:''' Some accident involving a bus. Unluckiest thing in the world.<br />
