I'm not trying to be funny or anything when I tell you that as I was writing that last paragraph, this song came up on shuffle. I'm just a lowly crustacean, but: come on. Case closed.
The next morning, the sun is out, shining brightly over the city. (Now it's playing "Goldfinger," but God know what that means.) Aeryn sits in a chair, looking over a city map. She's wearing John's shirt and a black jacket and looks painfully sexy. John groans nudely from the bed, and Aeryn snaps, "Get out of bed, John. I've worked out that plan we talked about." He stutters: "Aeryn. Um...about last night." She's so awesome: "Yes. It's fine, John, it's just not top priority, right now." That's my girl. John groans and lies back. Aeryn: "I've gone through all of these pictures and I've found a few places that seem to be uninhabited enough to hide in." He's exasperated: "Aeryn." She looks at him, then away, like, "Fuck, are you gonna girl out or what?" It's about as weird as if Tango and Cash had woken up in bed together, is basically how Aeryn's acting, and it's hilarious. She doesn't know about any of this stuff, and what she does know, she has many different kinds of vested interest in pretending she doesn't, as we'll see later on in the series. John agrees, after a moment of silence, that they have to find a place to hide. "[So] let's go," she says, all frisky and businesslike. John: "No, no, no. You're not going anywhere, dressed like that." I guess she's just too hot to leave the house, because I see nothing wrong with the outfit except for the retina-burning awesomeness of it on her, in the morning light. She looks down, and then up at him, and we're I think up for a humorous quick-cut...
