"You want to be hired because you're expendable?" John frowns at Zach.

"No, just that if the work is dangerous, it makes sense that you'd want someone there who you can more afford to lose."

"So, if, in a freak twist, you were permanently blinded when one of the other researchers tripped over his shoelace, smacked into the door and had the potentially dangerous solution in his hand go into your eyes...you'd be okay with that?"

"Well, I don't think I'd be okay with it, but the statistical probablity of that happening in a forensics lab is fairly low."

"Would you sue the company?"

"You're a museum, the lawyer fees would cost more than I could get."

"I knew that." No, he didn't. "All right. So, you're willing to work around danger, have experience. Anything else about you that might make me hire you?"

"Well, I have these compromising photographs of you with a woman who is not your scary girlfriend," Zack lied like a lying thing that lied.

"You what?" John tries to think of who he's done anything, even innocent, with anyone but Aeryn. "Are you blackmailing me?"

Re: Group One: Zack Addy - John Crichton

[twohalvesofaphd]

"Quite possibly," Zack replied. "I believe there was a cheerleader outfit involved."

John splutters but immediately shuts up when Dr. Cox makes an appearance.

After Cox left, Zack turned back to John. "So that compromising pictures thing? Totally a joke to break the ice."

"I like someone with a sense of humor," John says humorlessly. "Not someone who gives me a heart attack. But, you're willing to go to great lengths for job and company, aren't you?"

Re: Group One: Zack Addy - John Crichton

[twohalvesofaphd]

"Yes, great lengths," Zack nodded.

"Would you get me coffee every morning?"
