Garibaldi:
This is the part I hate most: the waiting.

Sinclair:

Garibaldi:

Sinclair:

Sinclair:

Garibaldi:

Sinclair:

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.

Garibaldi:

Sinclair:

Garibaldi:
One hour, fifty seven minutes. (pause) Want to talk socks?

Sinclair:
No.

Garibaldi:
Just a question.

Sinclair:
I'm not having this conversation.
