THE FIFTH GATHERS: SCENE 17: GETTING YOUR HANDS DIRTY

We open on Blow the Skin, trying to communicate with the Falcon's computer.

	BLOW THE SKIN: R2's been turned off when we need him?

(How could you possibly know that?)

Blow the Skin addresses Mr. Thoreau, who is also in the room.

	BLOW THE SKIN: Ship where doctors learned to communicate, Mr. Chairman, I do not know ... However, the most special dialect. I believe that the functional rate coupling has changed.
			This is a necessary substitute.

	MR. THOREAU: Ah, of course, I need to be replaced.

Thoreau walks over to Drag Along, handing him a cable.

	MR. THOREAU: Here. And Chewie... For self-approval, the success rate of land-use land is combined.

Leah is working on a machine, alone in a room. Thoreau walks in, reaching out a hand to help her pull a lever, putting his arms around her in the process. She showes him away. He denies any ill intent.

	MR. THOREAU: I am busy thinking.

Leah is very frustrated.

	PRINCESS LEAH: Is it impossible to reissue the phone?

	MR. THOREAU: Suddenly, hehe.

	PRINCESS LEAH: Sometimes it is suffering.

	MR. THOREAU: We are. My true habits. You may improve further. Approve it. Timely weather.

Leah answers very sarcastically.

	PRINCESS LEAH: At night, yeah... When you have a picture.

Thoureau is not offended by her insult. In fact he's rather charmed. He has grabbed Leah's hand and started to stroke it, which she highly disapproves of.

	MR. THOREAU: douchebag? Gaki Rena's personal growl.

	PRINCESS LEAH: Unnecessary Naga.

	MR. THOREAU: Stop INMO?

	PRINCESS LEAH: Unnecessary Naka. my hand

	MR. THOREAU: My hand is Tatsumi. What are you afraid of?

	PRINCESS LEAH: Covered?

	MR. THOREAU: You are shaking.

Thoreau leans in towards Leah, his face getting ever closer to hers.

	MR. THOREAU: You like me because I am a villain. I do not have enough in your life villain.

Leah tries to think about ways to dissuade him, and decides to try the "Joz Vammer Tiramisu"-method. Thoreau, however, shows no signs of retaliation.

	PRINCESS LEAH: I am a good looking man.

	MR. THOREAU: I am alone.

	PRINCESS LEAH: You don't want to.

Thoreau gives Leah a big kiss on the mouth, hoping that any consent issues will just resolve themselves. Fortunately for him, they do.

Blow the Skin enters the room, sounding really excited.

	BLOW THE SKIN: Teacher, teacher! I have been quarantined.

Thoreau answers, very sarcastically. Blow the Skin is slightly intimidated.

	MR. THOREAU: Thank you. thank you very much.

	BLOW THE SKIN: Sensei, welcome to an emergency.
