Hondo wasn't sure if Fernando even heard him due to Jeanette's interruption and it wasn't her business, as it was between Hondo, Val, Macey, and Fernando. Valentine just went about her business, getting things prepped for supper. Hondo, who's mind was still feeling the strain of it all broke down and decided to have a couple beers and a cigar. He walked into the camper, past the working women to the fridge, grabbed a beer, chugged it then grabbed a second. went to the built in humador, grabbed a coffee infused Cuban, and walked back outside. He sighed as he sat back into a camp chair.
 
Hondo: You know where the adult drinks an' smokes are ifin ya want some, Jefe.

"A cervical collar is not hard to make. A piece of dense mattress foam cut to size and shape, a cloth covering and some velcro or adhesive take and you can have one. You can use a SAM Splint as a cervical collar is needed and if you got nothing, some folded up newspaper and some duct tape would work! If you have the technology to have a cloaked space ship then a cervical collar should be a cinch for you people!" Fernando holds back from yelling.

Fernando steps away for a second towards Hondo.
 
"Look, Hondo I understand all that and I apologize for anything she did on top of her apology. The thing is, if she sees something that she might like, she might be tempted to take it. I'm not saying that she would steal it but if the temptation is there, she could try and that I do not want. Now, we can fire arm train her some day soon, but now in the immediate future is not the time for her to learn. She will when it is her time. Like all my other girls before her, she will be rewarded for doing good and punished for doing bad. In that I hope not to do her wrong." Fernando tells him.

"I know a SAM Splint can be used in a pinch," Jeanette says, "I prefer to use something where there is less risk to the patient."
 
Jeanette then speaks to Moro. "I believe it is accurate for me to say I understand Fernando's tone. You tree huggers are so concerned about Mother Earth that you refrain from making anything disposable that can be used to save human lives. What if Gabrielle is in an accident and paralyzed for life because a cervical collar is not available?"
 
"We have cervical collars." Moro says.
 
"You just said you have a limited supply because you have to import them from Israel. One who is paralyzed for life requires more resources than an able-bodied person. You're not really helping Mother Earth."
 
"We don't need as many because there are fewer accidents."
 
"Ah, of course. There are fewer accidents because everybody takes the train. Excuse me, I need to get back to the potato salad." Jeanette returns to the camper.

Jeanette steps back into the doorway of the camper. "Is that necessary, Fernando? I agree that these hippies have taken going green too far that they can't see the forest for the trees. Instead of using Moro's blood for fertilizer, which would help Mother Earth, why not teach these people a better way to go green?"

Hondo: let's get goin',Jefe, before we have blood sausage for supper. Even though it had been a long time since I have had wolf stew, I don't want the sudden freeze that is bound to follow.
