From Space Force – Season 1 Episode 10: ‘Proportionate Response’ (1×10) | Produced by Netflix
Mark Naird: Help me defy an order.
Adrian Mallory: Ooh. That is where I shine. I've been defying authority since I was 13. And now I'm gonna teach you to use the most subversive weapon known to man: passive-aggression.
Mark Naird: Oh, God, I hate that.
Adrian Mallory: Yeah, of course, because you're a straight white male, you always had other weapons. But the rest of us, we have to be subtle in our disobedience, or we risk punishment.
Mark Naird: Oh, so interesting. Go on. I'm so interested.
Adrian Mallory: No, see, that's sarcasm. That's different. Imagine in this situation, you could say that you're following through with the order, but then you forget to, or you can interpret that order creatively. "Destroy the bathroom" could mean a number of things and, if all else fails, you can feign incompetent, which shouldn't be a problem.
Mark Naird: Well, that explains Brad, doesn't it?
Adrian Mallory: Not entirely.
