It bloody well does matter I'm dead. Why do people seem to think that they can just glaze over the fact that when I touch people it's like touching a cold air generator?
[This is not your fault, Josh.
(well maybe a little)]
Believe me it would be easier if I wasn't, but you need to reexamine your definition of monster. Just because there are horror movies where ghosts crawl out of tellies doesn't mean that we all are like that. There are plenty of horror movies where serial killers trap people in basements or what have you.
it's bizarre how much this echoes one of his early confrontations with sally. one he was actually right about, in the end, but that doesn't change the fact that it brings a sense of deja vu — and makes him feel like kind of an asshole for it.
there's a slight delay, then a switch to voice. ]
No, you're right. I'm sorry, sometimes I forget I'm not talking to Sally. Which you'd think would be impossible, given the Britishisms and the lack of invasive questioning about my sex life, but—
You're not her. You're not even the same— [ thing... she is? ] Kind of ghost. I shouldn't assume you are.
That wasn't you being a monster. [ the repetition is agreement, and then some; saying it more firmly, just to make sure she's sure of it.
josh isn't completely sure if annie's from earlier on, or if she's really nothing like sally. he's starting to think he and george have way less in common than he originally thought, so it's not out of the question. ]
And if he was anything like Danny, you're right. He deserved it.
They're the same in all the ways that count, apparently.
[ it's easy to hate owen, if only by proxy. josh had stopped aidan from killing danny - but that was a long time ago. he's not entirely sure what would happen now. ]
You're not a monster, and you're not nothing. You're here. [ his tone is confident, but there's a good dose of regret in it. ] I'm sorry I upset you.

And I'm glad for Mitchell. Really, I am. But that doesn't change what he is, and it's dangerous for you to think otherwise.

Look, forget it. We're in space, it's not like any of it really matters at this point.

Because.]
The worst thing I've done is when I told Owen-
Well, I think I drove him mad. But he deserved it. And that wasn't me being a monster.

He pushed me down the stairs. Because he found a pair of panties that he had never seen before. Because he thought I was cheating.
[It's easy to tell Josh this. Because Josh is like George, and George was there.]
Then he saw me, later. When I was a ghost. He told me I was nothing.

Or maybe he knows.]
I'm sorry I brought it up.
