[Video] Tinkering

[Rocket is peering too closely at his omnicom for a moment as he speaks, tapping on the screen and grumbling.]

Is this thing-okay, yeah, here we go.

[He pulls back so he can look at it more clearly, laying his ears back and frowning a bit.]

Hey, new guy here. I gotta work on the guns I came with to get them up to spec. Any techie types, there a spot where you guys usually work?

[Tech types, prepare to lock your toolchests down, or you're going to come back to an absolute nightmare.]

That's somehow both more and less offensive than what I usually hear.

Still gonna kick your ass with a houseplant.

Seriously dude. Guns and explosives: intimidating. A ficus? Not so much.

[That earns a little chuckle from him. It's not a particularly nice chuckle.]

You didn't see what I did to that plant in the medbay.

What was there to see?

Thorns, vines, breaking free from its pot and skittering around the room.

You know, the usual.

I'm pretty sure some Roundup will fix that.

I have no idea what that is, but I'm betting you need fingers to use it.

You're still just trying to distract me from the fact you're fuzzy and adorable and you arrange flowers.

I arrange 'em to rearrange faces. And you're probably gonna be their test drive. Nobody's been annoying as you.

I try so hard, it's nice to be recognized for it once in a while.

I'll be shaking in my boots if you need me. You know. The super speedy ones that I run around in being impossible to catch.

Grif, you need to stop.

He is going to kill you. I'm not saying that as a joke. If you keep this up, he will actually kill you. You'll be dead.

Oh no. You don't get to do this. You don't get to ignore my advice, then give me advice. That's not how this works.

Hey. Hey, listen, you turned out to be right, didn't you? You warned me and turned out to be right, that's how this works, the person doing the warning is right.

He is going to murder you.

I'm pretty good at not being murdered. It's one of my skills.

Yeah, and if he's anything like the Rocket I know, he's pretty good at murdering people generally considered unmurderable. That's one of his skills.

Yeah, uh, he's not exaggerating, Grif.

Listen to these two, zippy. They know what they're talking about.

[They know an alternate him, anyway, but from what he's heard, there's not too many major differences.]

I'm not scared of you.

I am acknowledging your concern.
I'm also ignoring it.

'K. What kind of flowers should I get for your funeral?

I've always felt gladiolas were tasteful and classy. I'll see if they haven't gone extinct and put an order in with a florist.

Want me to put your name on the card, too?

Oh man, it never even occurred to me that stuff might've gone extinct by now.

That's kinda trippy to think about.

Alls I care about is that somehow they apparently still have the same strain of banana.

You know how banana candy never tastes like banana? That's 'cause it the flavoring was based on a banana strain that went exist.

And cocoa. Apparently cocoa hasn't gone extinct.

If you guys are so sure the Green Thumb over there is gonna kill me, why not let him pick?

Because we have just enough love and respect for you to try and spare you the possibility of those really gross flowers that smell like dead bodies.

I mean, you'll have that angle covered yourself, anyway.
