"Not this, this is awesome. I'd do this all day if we could, but y'know, muscle atrophy and what not." He's back to having no idea what he's saying but that's what he gets for getting all excitable over monsters and aliens and how freakin' fantastic science is.

"I'm going to that lab," he says firmly, and it's more a declaration for himself than for Kate. There's no debate in the matter, he's going and he's not leaving without a job. "Y'know, as soon as I look a little less pathetic."
