Derek: Oh? Uh, just like yours, of course.

Scooter: Why do you sound hesitant?

(Pause)

Derek: I'm not hesitant.

Funny.

Derek: Wait a minute. You're not that reporter, are you?

Reporter: That reporter? No.

I remember that reporter. But obviously he's not this reporter.

Smythe: So that was pretty hard on my reputation, but I've come back from it now. My recent work on the size of the Andromeda galaxy was well-received.

Sa'ar: It must be exciting to work in astrology.

Smythe: Astronomy.

This scene was very funny when I thought Smythe was just an original character for this feature. Then I ran across a few old TJIs... Astoundingly, the scene is even funnier now that I have an idea exactly what it was that was hard on Smythe's reputation.

Zeke: Guys, you know how Copernicus proved that everything in our solar system revolves around the sun?

Sa'ar: Yeah...

Zeke: I think I know how the sun felt.

My guess is that the sun felt that it was pretty hot. You might even say it felt lighter than air. That was definitely a bright spot in its day.

...I'll stop now.
