He needs a second to chew this over. Even though he knows Bill wants him to be happy, it's still strange sometimes to be confronted with the reality of it.]
[Still, though, Ford feels a little weird about Bill asking people to go out of their way to be nice. This is because, while saying he's not happy with the Barge is just fine, saying he's not happy with himself and asking for help about it is a little bit embarrassing.]
Still -- are you sure it's worth the trouble of asking other people to get involved?
Well -- okay. If you can get them to agree to come by and tell me what they think of me, I'll listen to what they have to say.
[Them's the terms. He's not positive people are going to do it, or that this won't go terribly wrong. But at least very few people on the Barge are actively mad at him right now; he's pretty sure he can count them on one hand, which is an improvement.]
