You have a pterodactyl - Ianto and Gwen

Jan 22, 2007 19:06

GWEN: You have a pterodactyl.

IANTO: We have a pterodactyl.

GWEN: You have a pterodactyl that flies around, in-and-out the building at will.

IANTO: Correct, once again.

GWEN: Why?

IANTO: Because we decided it would be unwise to let her fly about Wales eating sheep. People might have noticed. Call us paranoid, if you will.

IANTO: She came from the rift, in case you were wondering. Have you ever tried to capture a pterodactyl? There is no netting *anywhere* than can hold it. Well, almost none. eBay is a wonderful website, sometimes.

GWEN: But what's the point of it? Experiments?

IANTO: No. We think of her as a pet.

GWEN: Pet?!

IANTO:This is an organisation that investigates aliens. It's a bit of alet-down if you say you have an office hamster called Hammy.

GWEN: So it has a name?

IANTO: Officially she has a number. Jack calls her Myfanwy.

GWEN: ...

IANTO: Yes?

GWEN: But... what if it attacks people? What about me? It might attack me, it doesn't know me.

IANTO: *She* has been trained to not attack people, otherwise we wouldn't let her out. Suzie trained it. She (Myfanwy, not Suzie, obviously) eats whatever's been covered in the 'barbeque sauce' we have for her(mostly, anyway). Personally, I wouldn't be sitting at my desk if there was a risk I could lose my arm.

IANTO: Although she has been known to eat pizza Owen leaves on his desk.

IANTO: That reminds me - can you not leave out any chocolate when you go home?

IANTO: Although more to stop Jack stealing it rather than Myfanwy, to be honest with you.
