016 - Ditched Again.
Loki's gone. If you give a toss. [Speaking of which he tosses Loki's letter over his shoulder and off the deck of the barge.]

Loki's gone? Good riddance.
Guess that explains the letter. He must have realized that there are better places to be than here.
[Slater's hardly a member of Loki's fan club, but he's not as annoying as David. Without missing a beat, he puts on a well practiced puzzled expression.] You mean you didn't get a letter? Huh. He said he left something for ya in mine… [Slater thinks about this clear contradiction!] Maybe he wanted to be a surprise? [Oh my, is this a faux pas he's made? He certainly does seem worried!] Best forget I said anything. [Yes, David, be a pal and forget?]
[No, he bloody well won't!] You can always go after him, tell 'im your true feelin's.
Why's it matter? You gonna travel back in time, convince him to stay? Say five minutes, makes you feel better.
Think he woulda picked up on that a while ago.

Here, see that snotty kid with dopey attitude? Mind tellin' him Loki told you he left him a little 'unspecified' something. Twerp is ticking me off.

... Yeeeah, anything Loki left me I probably don't want. [He's never even talked to the trickster god, but after eavesdropping in one conversation he made decided to hate him.] Besides, the guy had really lousy fashion taste.
[A beat. Curiosity gets the better of him.] He handed out letters?
[A beat. Curiosity gets the better of him.] He handed out letters?
Yeah, I think he did.
[Private]
I see him and I'm up for it.

Loki gave me a letter. He said that he was going to give something to you too, but the way he was talking about it made me think that it wasn't something good.
Gee, why doesn't that surprise me? Whatever it is, I probably don't want it.
[A beat. Damn you, curiosity.] ... Did you see it?
[A beat. Damn you, curiosity.] ... Did you see it?
Trust me, you don't want it. He made some jokes about it that were seriously questionable.
He didn't show me it. Which I'm actually really glad about.

I'm sorry to hear that, Mr. Slater. If there's anything you find you need, don't hesitate to ask.
Yep. Let's just hope that no one ever finds it.
What are you saying? This thingy's on the Barge somewhere?
Yes. [Oh, Barron. Should have stopped while you were ahead.]
[Oh, yes.] Wait. How do I know you don't have this... this whatever-it-is?
You think I stole it? Why would I want something like that?
I can't tell you, because I'm not entirely sure what it is.
But it's terrible.
But it's terrible.
Yeah, because that's not ridiculously vague.
Who are you, anyway?

I can't tell you what I don't know.
