Only reason he is on that team is because it is simply convenient. If your options are Team Handcuffs or Team Kill Someone Who Will Not Stay Dead, handcuffs is better choice.

[littletonoidea]

I am more than happy for this to be a marriage of convenience, Hilbert. It's half the reason we tolerated you.

[tarakan]

As long as you are aware of the situation, that is what matters most.

[ grumble grumble grumble! ]

[littletonoidea]

I'm aware I had a pastel scare and Warren's like, one of the only people who didn't give me a diaper full of crap about it. Right now that's the only part I care about.

[ said in a slightly resigned, 'yep I should have expected this' sort of voice, ]

Eiffel I have no idea what you mean by 'pastel scare.'

[littletonoidea]

The baby thing. Look, never mind-- there's no pregnancy scare, you can put your freakin' surgery kit away. Take a goddamn chill pill about getting your grubby little nerd hands on my bodily fluids.

[tarakan]

I was offering partly out of help, you know. Access to your blood was simply added bonus.

[littletonoidea]

Which was it you wanted more, seriously. To help or my samples?

[tarakan]

[ a paaaaaaaaaaause. ]

Does the answer matter?

[littletonoidea]

[And a hefty sigh.]

Okay, Doc? A good person does it purely to help the person. Not because they'll get something out of it. It's called 'not having an ulterior motive'.

[tarakan]

But why can't it be both? Yes, I do want to help you and make sure that you are not father of child that may or may not exist. But I also want sample of your blood. The two can both be true at same time!
