[Stan sputters. Even though he's pretty flippant over his own mortality, he can't believe Ford would be like that. It actually kind of pisses him off enough to snap a little.]
I know people can die here, Ford! I got the spiel and that's not the problem! You don't get it!
[He blurts it out without thinking, a quick flare of temper that gets the better of him. Of course Ford doesn't get it. He wasn't the one who had to watch his brother get knocked overboard in a storm by some goddamn overgrown squid. He isn't the one whose brother sank into waves just two weeks after they'd finally made up.
As soon as he says it though, he realizes he doesn't actually want to talk about it, and it's enough to force him into a simmer. He crosses his arms and manages to pull back into just irritation.]
Ugh, just forget it! Alright, you got sacrificed so your shitty soon-to-be-boyfriend could have a conscience for two minutes. Next!
