013 ♐ Video ♐ I'm writing this letter and wishing you well; Mama, we all go to hell

[Archer's been thinking. Running around teasing the flooded passengers was a good distraction, but his talk with Rogue has stuck in his mind. So this time he looks a bit more somber, although no more sober than usual. He's sitting on his bed, tie undone, sipping a gin and tonic with Kazak sprawled out behind him.]

Hey, I just have a question.

Is it uh - shit. [He falters, uncharacteristic for him.] Is it normal to hate your mother?

Yeah.

...I mean Mother is just a bitch. She didn't do anything like that.

That doesn't mean you're obligated to like her. I mean, you should probably try to make sure she doesn't die, but your obligations pretty much end there.

I already do make sure she doesn't die. She's my boss. If someone's trying to kill her I'm probably in the office.

Can I ask why? I mean, why do you hate her, not why do you work for her. I figure you don't have much choice on that last part.

Because she's a bad mom? I mean she left me alone with Woodhouse for like four years and I'm pretty sure he's not even human.

That's a pretty good reason to hate her. [ But, uh... ] What makes you think Woodhouse isn't human?
