So, what kind of movies do you guys like? Back home, I mean. I know stuff is weird here and some movies don't exist, and they have stuff some of us don't have back home, so if there's any good universe-local movies I'm missing out on that only exist here, I could use some recs, too. Bonus points if there's any really good alternate universe versions of stuff I'd know from home. Negative points if it's propaganda crap, because there's enough of that on TV as it is.

I haven't, but if by some miracle, you have a copy on you? I am totally down for the classics of cinema from another species.

[calibrating]

I, uh, may have one around somewhere.

[He's trying to play it cool. Can't look like a fanboy, you know, despite that initial outburst.]

[pobrecisco]

Oh, dude, awesome. Could you send me a copy?

[calibrating]

If I can figure out a way to transfer files to this thing from my omnitool, then yeah, sure.

[Wait.]

That's if I have it.

[pobrecisco]

I don't know what an omnitool is, but if it's got any kind of plug in, I bet I can find a way to get files off it.

[ He's starting to catch a hint of closeted fanboy. It's a secret he knows well. ]

I mean, yeah, if you have it. Of course.

[calibrating]

And that's a big if.

[On that note, other nerdery is clearly afoot]

I wouldn't mind letting you tinker around with it a bit. Under my supervision, of course. Maybe we can figure something out.

What's that human saying? Two heads are better than none?

[pobrecisco]

[ Alien movies AND then chance to mess around with shiny new tech? It's like Christmas come early over here. ]

Sweet. And, no, dude, it's better than one. Though I guess also way better than none, so, close enough?

[calibrating]

Thanks for the consolation prize.

I could've just been testing you, you know. Gotta make sure you humans know your own sayings.

[pobrecisco]

Uh-huh, I'm sure, dude.

[calibrating]

I'm glad we're on the same wavelength, kid.
