--Perhaps. It would likely depend on how much Dr. Palmer attempted to talk during the movie.
[A lot being the answer to immediately come to mind. Like Mick, Rip attempts to come up with the name of some movie that might actually have the four of them all walking out of the room alive and at least relatively unharmed—
Mick might not be wrong about the horror films, if “disgusted” isn’t among the criteria they’re trying to avoid.]
Likely not an unwise policy in general. [Too bad for Rip there hadn’t been one to convince him not to piss of time travelers, hmm? Not that he suspects Mick wouldn’t have found a way regardless, just as he likely still should some alien or giant lizard—or perhaps vampire—cross his path in the wrong way.] Wonderland is problematic enough without giving those around us reason to quarrel with us.
[Y’know. Like Rip so often winds up doing.]
Toads? [Cold, yes, Rip’s aware enough of. Considering his interactions with Leonard, it’s all but impossible not to be. Almost like how it’s almost impossible not to be curious at the other fear Mick’s thrown out there.] Now you know I’m going to have to ask why—but also, is this something I should be pouring myself another drink for?
[Or perhaps it’s time for Mick to move up to something harder? Who’s to say that his fear of toads isn’t rooted in something deeply traumatic?]
