[Rex just got Tallahassee's letter about ~Wichita~

So he's brooding like a man in the common room. Watching Anaconda. Idk how he got it after he broke the last disc... Let's say the TARDIS gave it to him.]

[Trip has been summoned through the power of movies. He doesn't actually recognize Rex - although he's vaguely aware that he looks like Arthur - and goes with the new inmate he doesn't know yet theory as he comes over to investigate what movie's playing.]

Whatcha watchin'?

[OH. Somebody he doesn't hate. Rex looks at Trip, then the screen.] Anaconda. [Hmmm.] This movie's so unrealistic.

That's kinda what makes it fun though. [Trip loves horrible horror movies. Also good horror movies. But his standards aren't fantastic.]

Mind if I join you?

'Fun' isn't the word I'd use... [That bit's muttered. Rex shifts on the couch a little and shoves the postcard (which was once torn up and now taped back together) into his jacket pocket.]

Be my guest.

[Trip notices the stowing away of the postcard but doesn't comment on it. He's nosy, but not really that much, especially not with someone he doesn't think he knows, and sits down next to him, ensuring a decent amount of space between the two.]

So, how long you been here? [Meaning on the Barge, but feel free to think he means in the common room or something.]

[Rex frowns in thought, totally assuming Trip meant the common room.] About an hour, maybe longer? I haven't been keeping track of the time.

[Puzzled as haaaale look.] You've only been here for an hour and the first thing you do is watch Anaconda?

Well. [Defensive frown! Rex waves a hand at the common room.] What else is there to do here?

[Trip shrugs.] Well, I don't know, but most new arrivals tend ta start lookin' around and askin' questions about where they are and how things work and stuff.

[Weird face.] But I already know all about that.

Already? That was fast. [Still totally oblivious.]

It isn't as though these things aren't patently obvious from the beginning. I figured it out when I first got here, myself. [STOP MISSING THE POINT, REX.]

Yeah, which was only an hour ago. [THESE TWO WILL BE AT IT FOR HOURS.]

What does the common roomm have to do with knowing the Barge? [SUSPICIOUS STARE. He pulls out his communicator and scrolls through.] Is there a flood on?

[SUSPICIOUS STARE RIGHT BACK.] I don't know. Who are you?
