[there is a Brigadier on the Plane and he is ... talking ... to himself? or so it seems. he's off to a relatively remote area, not bothering anyone, and seemingly holding a conversation with someone who isn't there]

Right, lad, carry on then. There's a good chap. What? No. I haven't a clue what you're talking about. [pauses, raising an eyebrow, then nods] Yes, well. This just won't do, now will it? Bugger all, it's a bit more difficult than I thought it might be. Still, no matter. Keep a stiff upper lip and all that. [another pause and he frowns] No, I do believe I'll keep at it a while more, yet. Don't see much of a reason not to, really. It's good practice and all. Feels a bit strange, mind, but I've done it before. No reason to let it go to waste now.

[after a moment he drops, reappearing with a full-length mirror, and smartens up his uniform] I do believe I'm about ready, then.

[confused]

What are you doing?

...Are you alright, sir?

Yo man, sorry to say, but not all of us can hear what your invisible friend there is sayin' to you. 's like talking on a cell phone, if you know what them are. Whatcha' gotta be looking so pristine for anyway?

What are you doing, getting ready for a time machine convention? You plannin' to kick the DeLorean's ass?

[good, that means she's doing it right]

Just making sure I'm in tip-top shape, of course. Why?

Perfectly well, thank you. Why do you ask?

...I beg your pardon?

How did you know it was me?

[frowns, still confused]

I just thought - [looks around, not sure what he thought, then back to the Brig] - what for?

A Brigadier has to look his finest so the lads listen, wouldn't you agree?

What do you mean? I've seen you look like this before.

I like you better as the hot chick, though.

Yes, but were my vocal patterns that ineffective? I thought I had assumed the Brigadier's voice and mannerisms properly.

I suppose.

[looks at him still, something not sitting quite right]

Is that what you're ready for then?

Well, I guess that might have thrown me off, if I knew who the hell you're supposed to be disguised as.

I'm always at the ready, soldier, or have you forgotten all those years we spent together?

The Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart.

So... you're supposed to be disguised at four people?

That is his full title.

I didn't mean -

[shifts a little, rubbing the back of his neck, and he's still not sure what is wrong with this entire situation]

You just said, you said you're about ready. I wasn't sure if there was something else.

Nothing in particular, no. Just tidying up, making sure I'm fit and ready for duty.

How many men did his mom marry to have that kind of last name?

I do not understand what you are asking.

Oh. Right. Of course.

[nods and stuffs his hands in his pockets, and lets out a small nervous laugh]

I just - I think I thought you were someone else.

That so? I wasn't aware I had that sort of face. [gives him a look, then] Well out with it, man.

So why are you pretending to be Brigadier All-Star Gordon Askani'son?
