Proof of Red Dwarf slash

[beetle-breath.livejournal.com]

Apologies if this has already been shared...I've showed this to 2 different people, and they both agreed that there's some one-sided slash here. One has never even saw Red Dwarf! The excerpt is from Stasis Leak, from Season 2. The transcript was found here because I was too lazy to type it up myself. The real slashy bits are underlined in red. [...] indicates fast forwarding.

Enjoy!

 

RIMMER: What's the point in going, if you can't bring anybody back?
LISTER: You've seen the photograph.  I'm going to marry her.
RIMMER: But what's the point?  In three weeks you'll be radioactive dust! You might as well marry a box of Daz.
LISTER: I'm gonna stay with her.
RIMMER: You're going to stay with her?  For the sake of three weeks together you're going to give up your life?
LISTER: Yeah.
RIMMER: (jumps out of his bunk) I don't believe it.  Lister, selfish or what?
LISTER: Why?
RIMMER: What about me?  I've given you the best years of my death!  Is that it, then?  Three years, thanks a lot, pal, I'm off.  No sort of regrets?  Not so much as a lump in your throat?  No, you're thinking of Kochanski.  The only lump you've got is up the front of your trousers.

LISTER: I'm going for it, Rimmer.  If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you don't get many shots at happiness.  So when you do, go for them all.
RIMMER: (sits on the edge of his bunk) I'm sharing a bunk with a character out of a Barbara Cartland novel.
LISTER: What would you do in my place?
RIMMER: I don't know, I... oh, do what you like.
LISTER: Where are you coming from, Rimmer?  You don't even like me.
RIMMER: Don't I?
LISTER: No.
RIMMER: Fine.
LISTER: You don't though, do you?  You don't even like me.
RIMMER: That's what you think, is it?
LISTER: Yeah.
RIMMER: I will tell you something that will probably stun you rigid.
LISTER: What?
RIMMER: You're right.  I don't like you.  I don't like what you stand for.  But, for some weird reason... I don't know.  What's the point?

RIMMER: Don't try and explain it, Lister.  I don't know why I'm even surprised.  Everyone always leaves me in the end.  Girls, parents...
