Ruby/Tucker: Sixty! Sixty-one! Sixty-two! Sixty-three!

The two were doing squats in front of Wash and the Blue base.

Ruby/Tucker: Sixty-four! Sixty-five! Sixty-six! Sixty-seven! Sixty-eight! Sixty-nine. . .

Ruby: Seventy!

She and Wash turned to the still crouched Aqua soldier.

Ruby: If you stop at sixty-nine one more time I'm going to break your legs.

Tucker: No! This time, my legs went out.

Ruby: I'm surprised Kaikaina's managing to outdo you.

She pointed aside, the two boys looking over to see Sister and South doing push-ups, though the former was doing girly push-ups and doing them much slower.

Tucker: That's not fair!

Ruby: Yes it is.

The Magenta Girl tugged him up, hard!

Tucker: Ohhoh! Holy Christ! I haven't been this sore since that bachelorette party on Bourbon Street.

Wash: You want us to believe that you banged an entire bachelorette party?

Ruby: . . .

Tucker: I want you to, but really the groom just showed up and cracked three of my ribs.

Wash: You're a virgin, aren't you?

Tucker: Oh, you're shitting me.

Ruby: Still single there, La-ver-ni-us.

Tucker: God. Fucking. Damn. It.

Allison: He won't be single for l-

Ruby: Shut up!

Tucker: Ugh, anyways, why the hell do we have to train so much? We never had to do squats when Church was in charge.

Ruby: To be fair, I asked nicely and you said yes.

Tucker: I'm used to your training though. Besides, Wash would've forced me anyway.

Wash: Right. I'd say you've fallen out of shape, but generally in order to fall out of something you have to be in it first.

Tucker: Hey, that's funny! You should try comedy Wash. Why make one person miserable, when you can work on an entire room.

Ruby: He's done it before.

Wash: Alright, time for sprints!

Tucker: Fuck you!

Wash: I want five laps around the canyon.

Tucker: Die. In. A fire.

Wash: Six laps around the canyon!

Ruby: Don't worry Tucker, I'll do them with you.

Tucker: *sighs* Hey, why isn't Caboose down here? Shouldn't you be making him do dumbbell curls, or inverted push-ups or something?

Wash: I think he's having one of his. . . off days.

Ruby/Tucker: Aww/Oh. . .

*With the Reds*

Sarge: Men! It has come to my attention that we have been approaching this base problem from the wrong direction.

They were inside their base and Sarge was standing on the ramp to the second floor.

Simmons: What do you mean?

Sarge: I mean we've been approaching it from the outside. What we should have been focusing on is the interior, the layout it all wrong.

He walked down and then past them, entering the other end of the base.
