THE MANY USES OF LAUREL
“Have you thought through every contingency in this whole hallucinatory shrinking experiment?”
“Didn’t you feel the charge go through your body when I hit the switch?”
“Of course I did! I am askew… with the breath knocked out of me… against the wall… just like you.”
“Well, look up. Either our laboratory has grown immensely… or…”
“All the blinking lights…It looks like a Christmas display.”
“The world will never doubt me again! This is a breakthrough that will revolutionize Nano-technology. The world will never look at me the same again!”
“I think that might be right, sir…. I think that we still might have one itsy-bitsy problem.”
“Don’t be such a Sour Sally, Sidney. Can’t you let us rest on our laurels for at least a few minutes?”
“Do you think we can use our laurels to climb back up and hit the switch again? … Sir?”
