The One With The Hostage Situation: Video

[twoheadsofcabbage]

[For once, they are not broadcasting from inside the last rent controlled apartment in Manhattan: they are in Prefect's quarters. As is Prefect. And this does not appear to be a social call. Scrad keeps his eyes, and the gun-shaped object in the pocket of their hoodie trained on Prefect, as Charlie addresses everyone, stretching forward on his stalk to peer into the comm's camera.]

Okay. Here's the deal: we want off this boat, and we want off it now. So unless you wanna see something unpleasant happen to this guy-

[Charlie jerks his head in Prefect's direction. Scrad nods.]

-...I'd suggest somebody get with the getting.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

This isn't a threat, this is action.

[Scrad declares.]

[onceandfutureprat]

A stupid action.

Let the man go.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

He goes when we go!

[Charlie announces.]

[onceandfutureprat]

You know the Wardens don't have that power, and that the Admiral doesn't interfere like that.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

He interferes all the time!

[Scrad insists.]

[onceandfutureprat]

Name one time he's responded to threats, especially from an Inmate.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

He sends people home all the time!

[Scrad flails.]

[onceandfutureprat]

That isn't what I asked.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Who cares what you asked, that's what's important.

[Charlie says.]

[onceandfutureprat]

Do you this a lot? Answer for each other.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

We have two heads.

[Scrad says.]

You get the one you get.

[Charlie adds.]

[onceandfutureprat]

Do you... work together or does someone in particular take credit for this idiotic idea?

[twoheadsofcabbage]

What's it matter?

[Scrad asks.]

If we weren't working together, don'tcha think you'd know it?

[Charlie snarks.]

[onceandfutureprat]

So you're both complete idiots.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Yeah, what's your point?

[Scrad asks flatly.]

[onceandfutureprat]

That this is an idiotic idea and you need to let that man go.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Nope.

[Says Scrad.]

Nope.

[Says Charlie.]

That's a double nope.

[Says Scrad.]

[onceandfutureprat]

Also a double negative.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

A wha?

[Asks Charlie.]

[onceandfutureprat]

I'm completely not surprised.

Let the man go. You would've done something by now if you were going to.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

We are doing something. It's this. This is what we're doing.

[Says Scrad.]

[onceandfutureprat]

And it's not going to work like you want.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Nothing ever does!

[Scrad declares.]

Yeah, so there.

[Charlie agrees. AND THEY SURE SHOWED YOU.]

[onceandfutureprat]

[You are worse than Merlin :|]

Then what are you still arguing for?

[twoheadsofcabbage]

What are you still arguing for?

[Echoes Charlie, in way that might seem sarcastic. But also he may be actually asking, because they don't know.]
