"Looks like our chaperones are here, Sir."
"Why do we need chaperones, Carter?"
"The transfers are not official for another week."
"So you think that after eight years of incredible restraint, the kind of restraint deserving of medals for both of us, that we won't be able to hold back for a few weeks without ripping each other's clothes off and going at it right here on this tiny dock?"

"First the chaperones ruin my afternoon, and now I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight with you in the next room. Thanks for that mental image, Carter."
"I do what I can, Sir."
