Admiral: Calm down, Ed, and be professional about this
Mercer: Oh, please, there is nothing at all professional about this situation, okay? This is my ex-wife who I have not seen since my divorce a year ago after I walked in on her bangin' a Retepsian.
Admiral: I know this isn't ideal but she is the only qualified Ex O available and the staff profile compatibility program indicated your skill sets complement hers.
Mercer: Oh, it did? See if your compatibility program can get blue out of a white lampshade.
