Garibaldi:
This is the part I hate most: the waiting.
Sinclair:
Hmm. (There's a moment of silence.)
Garibaldi:
Mind if I ask you a question?
Sinclair:
Sure.
Garibaldi:
Okay, it's morning, you're getting ready for work, you pull on your pants --do you fasten and zip, or zip and then fasten?
Sinclair:
What kind of question is that?
Garibaldi:
Well, look, we've got two hours to kill --
Sinclair:
Forget it.
Garibaldi:
Just a question.
Sinclair:
Why do you want to know?
Garibaldi:
Why do I want to know? Because I think about these things sometimes. I was getting dressed this morning, I couldn't remember how I did it, and I started thinking about it. Does everyone do it the same way? Is it a left-handed/right-handed thing --?
Sinclair:
(incredulous) You think about this stuff a lot?
Garibaldi:
Yeah. Look, okay, I'm sorry I asked. You're always so serious all the time. Not every conversation has to be the end of the world as we know it.
Sinclair:
I didn't mean to --
Garibaldi:
Never mind. It's okay. I'll just -- watch my console. Don't worry about it. (After a long pause, Sinclair sighs.)
Sinclair:
Fasten, then zip. You?
Garibaldi:
Fasten zip. (Sinclair chuckles.)
Sinclair:
How much longer?
Garibaldi:
One hour, fifty seven minutes. (pause) Want to talk socks?
Sinclair:
No.
Garibaldi:
Just a question.
Sinclair:
I'm not having this conversation.
