Let Archer inhale water then dump his semiconscious body in this new place called the Middle of Nowhere while we wait for him to call for an extraction, because that’s really freaking funny! You know what else would’ve been hilarious? TAKING ME TO A GODDAMN HOSPITAL!
Seriously, I’ve got water in my ears. Do you know how annoying that is? It’s like having a piece of coral stuck in your scuba flipper, which I wouldn’t know anything about because you three took all the gear. Dammit, Lana! I did not skipper a submersible down to the bottom of the freaking ocean to be abandoned like a redheaded stepchild!
Oh hey, speaking of, is this one of Mother’s training exercises? Because great timing, this is classic her. Sure, her only child could use some help getting seawater out of his lungs, but let’s toss him out in a survival scenario instead, that’ll accomplish WAY more!
[There is a beat wherein the speaker appears to reconsider, and when he continues his voice is bewildered instead of angry.]
Where the hell am I, anyway? Helloooo, idiots?

And then he tilts his head to evaluate; there's a quiet whirr that might be background noise but just as easily might not be. He's analyzing.]
Do you wish for the truthful answer or one which would be designed to spare your idiot fleshy feelings?

...it's not a very pleasant or comforting grin, closer to a cross between a smirk and what some probably predatory alien race might think a grin looks like after watching a serial killer convention for a week.

Seriously, if I'm dead, I don't want James Mason this time. Give me Sigourney Weaver instead. Ooh! Or Burt Reynolds. I bet we'd be way better friends now that he dumped my mother.
