So, I guess this is our shot at getting contacted by people from back home? Kind of nice in theory, but I'd sort of rather just have a phone instead of hoping anyone from back home's listening in on all this.

... Funny thing is? A lot of the people I care about are here already. Or, were here. How's everything going, Wally?

That's only because I like to play hard to get.

That and your signal won't stop fluctuating.

Which signal?

The one from you and Bruce on the good ship What Is Physics.

I think that's normal. Whatever's linking us to you will probably break off in a few hours.

That works perfectly actually. You can entertain me until I can sneak away from work.

I'm sure that can be arranged. Work not keeping you busy enough?

It's a slow day. A slow day when my boss decided to pay a visit.

Well that's a bummer. And here you are talking to me? Shouldn't you be schmoozing or something?

Why should I schmooze? This library could barely run without me and he knows it. Unless you're trying to get rid of me...

And why would I be trying to do that?

Because cheese-grater girl is taking my place as the object of your unwarranted adoration.

So, now you're saying my interest in you is unwarranted?

Well, maybe younger you. I kind of like this you. Like I said, you really grew up.

I didn't realize you were so shallow.

I didn't realize you had the ability to grow up. Or at least go a conversation without acting like a doofus.

Oh, I can still act like a doofus.

[ She laughs. ]

I don't doubt it. But so far you've been... well, downright likable.

And I wasn't before?

Let's face it Dick, you come on a little strong.

Not all the time.

You should see yourself.

I don't know, maybe I did really grow up.

Based on this conversation, I'd have to go with 'definitely'.

Stranger things have happened.
