[002 + Video] DCI Gene Hunt

[alwaystheguv]

[Its taken about 20 minutes to get this damn device to co-operate but needs must! Gene has a question of absolutely vital importance and he can't find Sammy anywhere to ask him. He still hasn't quite gotten used to using video so enjoy a shot of half his face a little too close up - one day he'll get the hang of it.]All right, I have no idea how

[It's been days since Sam's seen Gene after they had their little blow up over beds. After seeing that crazy monster in one of the rooms, though, Sam's been keeping an eye on the network. And seeing Gene's...and the chatter about his video, just makes him laugh. Laugh at his agony!]

Think of it as a diet, Guv.

[Sam might be wearing one of Gene's shirts. He hasn't had access to his closet since Monday. He's needed to change!]

[hydeforareason]

[Which isn't even a bear! Sam's eyes narrow.]

Uh...yeah, delicious, bears are.

[alwaystheguv]

[Course its a bear, you idiot! Koala bear! Pay attention in school, Sammy.]

Eh, probably do. Bears are meat, wonder what they'd be like on a sandwich.

[... Damn it Sam! Now you've made him twice as hungry.]

[hydeforareason]

[Blank. Stare. Of. Doom.]

You're a nutter, Hunt. Want you to know that.

[Sam nibbles on his bar, breaking pieces off.]

[alwaystheguv]

I'm the nutter? This coming from the bloke who spent a whole year yelling at nothing, flailing about like a right tosser and talking like a spaceman.

[Compared to Sam, everyone was the height of sanity.]

... I'm just sayin', if you're offered a bear or these bars, which one would you eat? You'd eat the soddin' bear! Well unless you're some airy-fairy hippie type who thinks animals actually feel things.

[Eat the bear or be a hippie Sam - which is worse!]

[hydeforareason]

I didn't yell at nothin'! [His teeth grit together.] I didn't flail about an' as far as you know, I am a spaceman. We're in space right now! You've never listened to me, Guv. I was tellin' you the truth. I time travelled to 1973. And now we've time travelled to...whatever bloody hear this is!

[He's a little dumbstruck about the bears though.]

A bear would eat you before you bothered gettin' out a fork!

[alwaystheguv]

We're not in space, we're in Spain. [Someone told him he was in Spain so just let him have this one Sammy? He's enjoys blaming those bloody bastard foreigners. With their boring culture, crap music and sombreros and-- whatever else Spain had. Gene really didn't listen in geography - neither did he distinguish cultures.] Stop being such a Mary. Christ sake, Sammy. You're not from the ruddy future and you're not special, you're just-- Sam. Deal with it.

[Giving Sam an annoyed look, he reluctantly takes a bit out of his bar.]

The bear would already be dead. That's like saying a cow would kick you before you got a knife in it. Just, you know, a bear sandwich?

[hydeforareason]

[He's still imagining Hunt trying to get a bear cub between two slices of bread slathered in mustard actually, so he nearly misses the Spain comment.]

You think we're in Spain? [He's just trying to clear that up!]

Spain as in...SPAIN?! You bloody, pompous, moronic, idiot!

[alwaystheguv]

Spain as in night club. What do you think I mean you dozy git? We're in Spain. Makes sense, they always did hate the Brits and they were a bunch of torturing bastards.

[Spain as in Spain Sam. Gene think they're still on Earth somewhere, probably having a little vacation before he can go home.]

Didn't know the Spanish hated booze so much.

[hydeforareason]

Oh dear God.

[He turns as if praying.]

Dear God, please don't let me have to stay 'ere when 'e starts withdraw!

[alwaystheguv]

God isn't listenin' Sammy-boy. Its a Godless place this and even if it wasn't, what make you think he'll give two shits what you're doing and where you are?

[Rolling his eyes, Gene finished off his ration bar and gives Sam an annoyed look. Seriously. What was his problem?]

Get whatever crawled up your jaxy out and try to enjoy yourself.

[hydeforareason]

Enjoy myself? Did you even read that file? Didn't you see the old experiments on the network?

[He clicks his fingers twice.]

You need to wake up.

[alwaystheguv]

I read it.

[He's skim-read it twice now but nothing that didn't sound interesting. Gene wasn't really the reading sort. He was happy in his little world where they were in Spain and would eventually get out.]

You sound worse than me missus.

[hydeforareason]

[Sam sighs. Gene Hunt is so perfectly adapted to deluding himself that Sam's not even sure if he can count on him when the time comes that they'll need to rely on each other. And the list of experiments from the past two years...well. They've been incredibly unbelievable. And therefore, much more frightening.]

Maybe if we're lucky she ended up here too. An' you can move in with 'er.

[alwaystheguv]

Funny, aren't you?

[Sarcastic smarmy little...Oh wait. Sam didn't know? Oh yeah, he was from 'the past'. Christ, did Sam ever know where he saw?]

Divorce, you prat. Thought you knew that? Traded her in for a nice car instead. Good riddance.

[hydeforareason]

[Sam leans forward, hands flat on the desk as he eyeballs Gene.]

What? Divorced 'er? Or she, you? That seems more likely.

[He'd never even met the woman, though.]
