compilation of jet partaking in his favourite passtime: bullying juno
JACKET: So. Do you have a good reaspon for walking out in the desert? Besides your death-wish.
JUNO: Besides my what?
JACKET: It’s well-documented.
this is one of the first things jet ever says to juno which sets a wonderful precedent
JACKET: Good. Now please. Get in this dumpster.
JUNO: What?
JACKET: I’m afraid I must insist.
JUNO: H-hey, put me down--
jet slam dunks (gently lifts) juno into an actual trash can. iconic
JACKET: In the interest of fairness I should tell you that if you have, I will be forced to crush your head with this dumpster lid.
JUNO: How is that any fairer--
(SOUND: JACKET LIFTING DUMPSTER LID.)
jet doesn’t have time for your semantics, juno. yes you are being interrogated in a bin
(SOUND: JACKET’S FOOTSTEPS.)
Hey! hey, where the hell are you going?
JACKET: To ensure this area is secure. Now be silent. Dumpsters cannot speak in the Cerberus Province.
i deeply love this man’s sense of humour
JACKET: I am sure your screaming makes Buddy’s thinking much faster.
JUNO: Oh, hey, was that sarcasm? Maybe the big guy’s got enough brain for a sense of humor after all.
JACKET: I have always possessed a sense of humor, Juno. You are just not funny.
absolutely destroyed. honestly juno was such a bitch in this episode i’m amazed buddy wanted to work with him more
JUNO: (SURPRISED YELP) Where the hell did you come from?!
JACKET: The door.
considering that we heard jet’s footsteps clearly enough in the streets earlier in the episode, i fully believe that jet deliberately quietened his footsteps so that he could jumpscare juno.
(SOUND: HE TAKES THE HELMET OFF AND TOSSES IT TO JACKET.)
There. Happy now?
JACKET: Not at all. I have grown fond of your presence in this hovercycle. I thought my tears would imply that.
JUNO: Your what... Are you crying?
JACKET: Everyone cries, Juno.
given his recent antics, i wholeheartedly believe he was fucking with juno here. i don’t know if i think he can cry on command and did it deliberately, or if he just got sand in his eye and decided to exploit it to fuck with juno, but either way, this man is fucking hilarious
JACKET: She is one of the most accomplished hackers on the Solar planets. One cannot repeatedly hack into Dark Matters’ systems without building a reputation in the Cerberus Province — and to do so and live to tell the tale is unheard of. It was near impossible for me to locate her; now that I have, Rita is a higher priority for our team than you are, Juno.
JUNO: ...Wow.
RITA: Wow!!
JACKET: She will also be paid significantly more than you.
JUNO: Okay, come on--
i don’t think jet lied about buddy telling him that rita was a higher priority than juno, but i do think he took this opportunity to deadpan bully juno with impunity
JET: I am a great fan of hers.
RITA: Awwwwww!!!!
JUNO: And what does that make me?
JET: You are an amusing sidekick.
JUNO: Goddamn it, you big lousy--!
juno as the third wheel to jet and rita’s weird dynamic duo is honestly such a great dynamic. i love them.
JET: (BIG ROAR)
VESPA: Siquliak, don’t!
JET: Oh. Hello.
JUNO: Uh... hi, big guy. So... you’re not gonna brain us, then?
JET: If it would help our current situation, I might. I thought you were the invader.
jet really said if not for the laws of this land i would have slaughtered you (if i felt like it would help)
(SOUND: JUNO FUMBLES IN A HURRY TO GRAB THE WRENCH. HE RUNS OVER TO JET AND HANDS IT OVER.)
Jeez, you could’ve told me you were working on something important! Should I tell everybody to get their O2 masks on? Get in the Ruby? Run--
JET: We would not have suffocated, Juno. That was a joke.
JUNO: A joke? Do I sound like I think it’s funny?
JET: No, but it has amused me. Ha ha. You had a question?
mr. sikuliaq, will you marry me (platonically)?
JET: You are very mature for your age, Juno. I’ve always respected that about you.
JUNO: I’m... what? You’re only like eight years older than me.
JET: (LAUGHS) Juno, I am not thirty-two years old.
JUNO: ...I’m forty.
JET: Ah.
(SOUND: HE KEEPS WALKING OUT. AMBIENCE FADES.)
JUNO (NARRATOR): I’m two seconds away from starting a fight when I see that Jet’s smiling on his way out the door. Another joke, just for him. And I know for a fact that a year ago I would’ve missed it completely.
truly iconic with a side of juno growth which i deeply hope cast light on several unseen incidents where jet was blatantly playing practical jokes on him and he didn’t realise until Right Then
