You've reached the voicemail of Donna Paulsen. I am currently unavailable, but if you leave your name and a brief description of what you need, I will get back to you just as soon as I can.
[There's a long, pregnant pause from Harvey's end]
Do you think I wanted to come here? Out of all the space ships in the world, it had to be the creepy non-Enterprise one. No, I can't promise I'll keep you safe or anything like that but I'll find someone who can. That is, if you don't beat me to it.
[...and there's the thing, the rub of it. Harvey needs her--
But that's enough to get her to lift her chin and steady herself. Harvey needs her, yeah? That's just how life is, and being in space hell hasn't changed that.]
Find myself a knight in shining armor? I might've discovered a few, we'll see. I don't need you to protect me [that's only a slight lie] but don't disappear on me either, alright?
[...er that is--]
Follow horror film survival 101, you know, the usual.
The hot chick is always first to die, someone who was "dead" comes back to save you at the end of the day, the military always comes to rescue - that sort of thing?
[he's clearly teasing, but he can sense that donna's a bit... well, on edge. and to bring her away from that would make things a lot easier for them both]
[aw harvey. it would be easier for them both, but she is quickly recovering from her slip-up.]
Those might count too, though I was thinking more along the lines of 'don't go places alone' and 'never split up' and 'why doesn't anyone take a vacation to Hawaii'?
Nothing to do with the lesbian makeouts by the way, but you all seem to be of the opinion that the world should play fanfare every time you walk into a room.

No? Me neither. Creepy space ships, on the other hand, are top of the list. So don't get ax-murdered, and I'll do my best to do the same.

Shut up, you. Leave me to my Hawaii delusions.
Well, if you're satisfied with your pursuit of lesbian makeouts...?

[An arched eyebrow at that--
but she continues quickly enough.]
I've met one lovely lady Irene Adler. Her face is almost move-star familiar.
[She totally remembers that movie.]

If I end up in a makeout session with any Irene Adler, you're not invited.
[A flick of her fingers, just in case you weren't sure if she's mocking you, and she ends the call.
