The 2 men stumbled drunk that night to Stark's place after an evening of whisky for Stark and green beer for Carter in celebration of his heritage.
"I have a confession to make, Carter. The green beer lowers your inhibitions."
"Yeah, no kidding Nathan."
"No, I mean it targets repressed desires and gets you to vocalize them."
"Yeah, they say Jager's even better."
"Carter it was developed by the psy division."
"What? So all the people at the bar - "
"They all know, Jack. That's why you were the only one drinking the green beer."
"Oh. I assumed they just thought it was nasty."
"That too."
Jack suddenly turned serious. "You should have told me. I could arrest you."
"Are you telling me you have a repressed desire to have me in handcuffs at your beck and call?"
"No. Maybe. Hey, what exactly does this green beer make you do?"
"Nothing. It doesn't make you DO anything. It only makes you say whatever you've been thinking about but trying not to say. So aren't you glad I took you to my place instead of letting you rant in public about how genius scientists act like world-destryong children and or dumbasses? "
"I want to bite your stomach."
"Oh- uh,"
"I want to pull you to your knees by your beard and hear you beg me to fuck you."
"Um, Carter, I think --"
"I want you right here and now. Then again in the shower. Then here again. Shit, did I just say that? Is this a joke? Are you trying to humiliate me?"
"Relax. Your inhibitions for action are still in place. You won't do anything you don't want."
"This is totally unfair. You tricked me. You're an asshole. A sexy asshole. No, a manipulative asshole. With muscular thighs. DAMMIT Stark! I'm going home."
"Wait. You're right. This wasn't fair. Let me fix it. I'll be right back."
Jack waited as Nathan went into the kitchen and looked through some drawers. What exactly is the cure for repressed-truth serum? he wondered .
He didn't find out. Instead, Nathan came back with a green mouth, saying, "Fair is fair. By the way, you have an amazing ass."
