shades of red

I'm surprised you got away saying it to his face more than once. But he's tolerant like that, which is really all the more reason not to push your luck.

You say "beloved captain" like it's a bad thing, Sarah. People trust their lives to Scott and believe me, if I thought for a minute that he wasn't capable or wasn't doing it right I'd be in his face so hard and fast that you and all your bitter little insults would look like kindergarten class. The man deserves a certain degree of respect; even when he's drunk, even when he's fooling around. I will make sure that he gets it, even if no one else does.

There will come times when your "special case" status ceases to apply. This is one of them.
