I'll level with you. I don't know who you are or where you come from, so I better be damn sure you can take care of yourself. If I bring you along to see you get stomped into the mud, that's gonna be on me. I don't need that on my conscience.
Keeping it strictly to you and me. The only judgement I trust is my own. But let's not put the cart before the horse.
Most of my waking hours are dedicated to understanding how this place works and how I can bend it to my will. You wanna help in the here and now? Help me do that.
Sorry. I guess I'm just having a hard time understanding how me playing
scientist is going to help you figure out if I can hold my own in a place
where running water and electricity is a common thing.
Getting you onboarded before I even know if you can get you where you need to go. Cart before horse.
If you've got an issue with the way I do things, join the club, but I'm not wasting time because you're in the mood to whinge about it. Work with me in good faith or pick up an inflationary physics book and figure it out yourself.
Shelf the attitude. If I want something I’ve got more than a few ways to get it myself. You want an in, I’ll work with you, but let’s get a few things straight.
I trust the way you feel about Peter. I trust the way Peter feels about you. But that doesn’t make you a team player. Ranks get broken, people get hurt.
I trust a CO when I know they won't just tell me what they think I need to
know and lay out the whole story. If you can prove you're capable of fill
disclosure, then I can trust you.

You give Liz this much grief?

I'll do what I need to if it means helping Peter.
