You know what's cool about breaches? I mean sure, the ship is falling to pieces and the Admiral is a horrible driver and in all likelihood we'll eventually crash on some poor unsuspecting planet and it'll be horrible. No, wait, getting off topic there.

Anyway, the cool thing about breaches? I think I know how to ride a horse now. I'm not sure I'll ever get to use the skill again, but hey! I can ride a horse.

[ So she waved a gun around at people. She was pretty damn good at it too. ]

Just one thing. Admiral? Next time can you aim for a hole on the side of an era where women can do something awesome without being looked at funny? Seriously. If it's not risqué dancers and housewives it's saloon girls and school teachers. I'm starting to think you're a little bit sexist.

So how was life as a Deputy? [ You can probably tell she's concerned about the fact that you were armed and dangerous. ]

It's the horse, isn't it. Chicks dig the horse.

You caught me. [Smiiiile!] Also, pointing out the misogynistic culture of the wild wild west earned you points too.

On the plus side, I think I might be a better cook now. [A beat.] In theory.

You wouldn't believe how many times I was told I was being 'un-lady-like'. Then again, I was the one doing tricks on my horse.

Aw man, you got actually useful skills? I still burn my waffles almost every time.

You did horse-tricks? That's useful. [A beat.] Ish. [NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT ELISABETH SUMMERS. NOPE.] I've totally had guys on horseback trying to kill me. So hey. You never know when it could come in handy.

Like I said... In theory. My usual cooking skills lie somewhere between the art of reheating takeout and putting the cereal box next to the bowl and milk.

It would be, if I had a horse. I don't even have a motorcycle anymore.

Ever try mashed potatoes? The worst thing that could happen is you make some bad mashed potatoes. There aren't that many ways it can go wrong.

Well, see, you commandeer one of their horses. Then you're set for horse-trick actiony fun.

I did successfully cook a thanksgiving dinner once. ...But with following my mom's recipe to a T and with help from like everyone I knew. I think I'm a good masher.

You should try grilled cheese, that's an easy one. I think. I've never tried it myself... There's a good reason I live with my mom.
