[[Otto, Emily, and Flavoura are in the hangar, where Otto is inspecting the girls' time vessel.]]
Emily: Well, can you FIX it?!?
Otto: Gee~!! This is AMAZING!! WHO built this thing?!?!
Flavoura: You DON'T want to know!!
Otto: [looking at a part protruding from the vessel] I recognize THIS ~ THIS ~ and THIS!! But, what's THIS and THAT?!! Oh my~!!
Emily: Well?!
Otto: Give me a minute, lady!! I've on seen this in THEORY ~ on PAPER!! It's a bit different in REALITY!!
Otto: [on closer examination] Ahh~!! So ~ THAT'S why you have to wear those silly outfits!! That's corrected easily enough!!
Emily: [impatient and getting angry] Listen~!! We don't CARE about whether or not we have to wear these SILLY OUTFITS!! Just get us back to our own time, already!!
Otto: I think I see the problem!! Your quantum fluctuator came loose and fell down into the space distortium field~!! What a knuckle-headed thing to do!!
Flavoura: We didn't do it on PURPOSE!!
Otto: It's a miracle you two got ANYWHERE in one piece with your obviously-lacking knowledge of quantum physics!!
Emily: We don't need a LECTURE~!! Please~!! Just FIX our vessel!!
Flavoura: I LIKE a nice lecture once in a while~!!
