[Ororo's decked out in the cloths she arrived in back during the festival, only she's fresh off her 'shift' of the day.]

But, can I get a second opinion on the job thing? There's a bunch of us that've been here long enough to know if it's a sham or not. [She leans back in her chair, bracing her boots against the edge of her desk, running her fingers through her hair.]

Look, last time I had to do a few hours "work" -- [She brackets the word with finger quotes.] -- for secure room and board really didn't work for me or my friends. [Weapon X project, she's looking at you.] I just want to make sure that kind of mess is never going to happen again.

[The deputising was bad enough, thx.]

Wait, there's a spoon now?

But I have to wonder why they use "glass." A lot of things could be half-full.

...you've never seen the Matrix? [Oh, god. Kid. Kid. You and her have to have a talk about cult movies.] Come on, the spoon's almost a classic now.

[He could probably use an inter-dimensional cult classic movie night.]

Nope. Then again, I'm bound to have missed a few movies here and there.
