[ Voice - Warden Filter after the Doctor's comment ]

I know that time works differently on the barge, but it's hard to get comfortable knowing that trouble's waiting back home. I never really appreciated before how hard some of the wardens here work, knowing that lives are at stake. It's so weird not being able to call Linda and ask how the kids are doing. I know how they're doing, but it's not the same.

How do you guys do it? Sit around all day, reading or going about your business, knowing that while you're stuck here trying to do a long job, the people you care about are dead or dying all the time?

You realize your son is one of those 'idiots', right?

If he actually tells you what you want to hear instead of what is right, then I would be surprised.

At least he's considerate about it.

Because he's my friend. Haven't you been around the last twenty years?

[ Just... a flat look. Like. Dude, missing the point.

(Because lol he has never been really polite and considerate with his friends. This is why only Clark and Diana stands him. Everyone else... nope. ]
