[ It's a joke and they both know it, still Mako has an answer ready. ]
The circus is in town, sir.
[ Which he knew already, but it's meant as a joke (among other things).
A suggestion maybe, an offer as well — something to do or an excuse to take out some extra aggression on rows of milk bottles and strong-man mallets. Mako would ask Herc if he'd like to spar but he's no longer just a ranger. Take that off the list and there are only so many ways soldiers like them could relate to one another without having to strip down out of their armor completely. ]
[ it has it's merits, but Herc is leery— knows Yancy and Raleigh, maybe Chuck, they'll all be up there. there are days he's torn between going with them and doing what he should be doing— being home base. the place to return.
some days it's harder than he makes it look. ]
Tried to get that kid to go with me, show him a few things. Seems he's more interested in the train.
With respect, sir, I don't believe the train is a viable option.
[ COMPASS' plans seemed too comprehensive to allow for such an obvious flaw. Not that Mako can blame anyone for trying, but that's just it — she doesn't think that boy is trying; he's simply tunneling his fear onto something and calling it a plan. ]
You got a shot, you take it. Sometimes the easiest way of getting out is through the front door.
[ Herc agrees; he doesn't think that train would take them anywhere they want to go, but he also isn't going to knock it when it hasn't been tried before. ]

[ which is complete jest— Herc wouldn't know what to do with a day off if it danced naked in front of him wearing a cabbie hat. ]

Can't knock the idea.
