See, there are a few problems with you telling me this. One, I'm annoyed because you've out-logiced me, and two, now you have to take me back to the fifties so I can get some.
I've only told you this because if you intend on doing the same thing in the next time period we go to, you ought to do more research before picking which snacks to hoard on the Waverider.
Of course I hide my snacks from you. I wouldn't have any left if Mr. Rory caught wind of them.
You needn't miss the luxury of tasting a proper historical jellybean if it's preventable, Dr. Palmer. [ And maybe, on some other level, it's just nice to share, which Rip imagines his mother would be happy to know he's thinking at this moment. ]
Thank you for acknowledging the trouble! It's a right mess, isn't it? God.
...not that I'm not proud of you all for doing your best, but a part of me expected to have less effect on history than what we've apparently accomplished.
I - well, if I can, anyway. This whole thing. Adjusting to it, or making things easier, or... [ At least Ray, unlike some other people on the Waverider, really does just want to do the right thing. ]

Jelly Belly is prominent in your time period. Schrafft's is a jellybean of the past that no longer exists in the 2010's.
Which of the two would have been a better souvenir, Dr. Palmer?

Fair play, Rip. Don't want to disappoint you with my snack choices.

I do, however, have Schrafft's in my office. You're welcome to it-- just ask Gideon where it's hidden.
no subject
... And you're sharing them? With me.

Now I'm going to weigh the pros and cons of jellybeans for breakfast. [ Ray doesn't often have people to share with, but he's enjoying the concept. ]

I'm sure teenage you would've had his uses.
But I've already got enough babysitting duties as it is.

That sounds strangely ominous. You really don't need to invite more trouble, no.

[ Ray sends this as a separate text, puts the jellybeans back where he found them, and then continues. ]
You know I'm sorry for contributing to the mess, right?
no subject
Yes, I know. I'm not cross with you, Dr. Palmer. I apologise if it's come out that way.
I just need a bit of adjusting myself to this... new experience.
no subject
I put your stuff back.
How can I help?

Speaking to you right now hasn't raised my blood pressure in the least, so I'm sure that counts for something.

Flattery will get you far. Then I'll keep talking, if you don't mind it. Deal?
