 Requiem - Part VI

<The vortex suddenly disappears>

Mallory: "Well, if it's a dream, we're in it now."

SL4: Just want I want. YOU in my dreams. Maybe Adam Sandler can stop by later in the dream. >:-#

Remmy: "Did you see her this time?"

HTWD: She had this lacy negligée on. It was black and ... why are you all looking at me that way? How do YOU dream of Wade?

Diana: "We saw something."

WS: That's our precise Doctor. 'Doc, what do I have?' 'You have something wrong with you all right.' 'What is it doctor?' 'SOMETHING.'

Maggie: "Was it a wormhole?"

WS: : This is a techobabble cue, I'm outta here. I'm off to consume some moron who rushed his IPO. Then I'll cruise my favorite haunts and danza slap some day traders.

<WS passes TBH at the doorway.>

TBH: Sniff. It's done. The website is finished. :'-(

SL4: It was because you were moonlighting with us doing this nonsense, wasn't it?

TBH: I don't want to talk about it. Projectionist! Roll 'em! I'm mad as >:-# and I'm ready to tear this ep up!

Diana: "Definitely getting extra-vibrational readings,"

TBH: <mimicking Diana> : This vibration readings are off the chart! Um, if you'll excuse me ... I have to use the bathroom ... no, no, I'm taking the PDL with me. I want to examine these vibration readings while I'm in there.

Diana: "like something seeping in from another dimension. But, obviously, that wasn't a standard, off the rack, wormhole."

SL4: Well, that's what happens when you shop at Ed's Wormhole Shop! If you want off the rack wormholes, always shop at Slide-Mart!

Remmy: "It's a doorway."

HTWD: People have been saying for years that our vortexes are Doorways! Now we finally have on-the-air confirmation!

Maggie: "A doorway? A doorway to where?"

TBH: <mimicking Remmy> : Ask Jim Morrison, what do I look like, the man with all the answers? I've been an incoherent mess since this ep started!

Remmy: "I don't know. But the next time it appears, we need to go through it."

SL4: Don't be a bossy cow, Rem. Okay, everyone who wants to step through that door that could lead to anywhere from hell, the void, or worse, an ep of Grizzly Adams, raise your hands.

Mallory: "Just like that?"

TBH: No, I thought we would sit down for a nice hand of Whist first ... of course just like that!

Diana: "How do you know this?"

HTWD: If you try to muscle in on my having all the answers action I'll cut you! <sound of switchblade being opened> I mean it!

Remmy: "Wade told me."

SL4: Whew! I thought for a minute that you were insane. But if someone we haven't seen in two years told you though some magical means we can't determine, then hell yeah, saddle up the door to the unknown!

<Scene change to Remmy on his feet, pacing as he talks> : "I don't know how to explain it."

TBH: But ever since I started pacing wildly while talking, people seem to take what I'm saying more seriously, no matter how insane it is.

Remmy: "It was like a blast of images rushing through my head."

HTWD: It was like a Nirvana video, only not as many images per second.

Diana: "What kind of images?"

SL4: Every kind that you sarcastically thank people for putting into your head. It was awful.

Remmy: "Memories, I think. At least that's what it felt like."

TBH: I think I got some of J. Edgar Hoover's memories though because there was this bit about a huge lollipop and a pink sun dress.

Remmy: "Like I was somehow living in Wade's memories. I felt her..."

HTWD: ... but I should only tell you the important parts of the experience. Never mind what of her I felt. :-P

Remmy: "...life. Wade needs our help and she's on the other side of that doorway. She's calling out to us."

SL4: Well, she shouldn't use MCI, those bastards can never get you a good long distance connection!

Mallory: "How is that possible?"

TBH: <mimicking Mallory> : How does she dial the phone??? With her tongue? How does she hold the phone to her ear? Okay, I can see one of the goldfish dialing the numbers for her and another holding the phone to her ear but HOW the hell does she talk under water?

Remmy: "I don't know."

HTWD: This line has been used more in this ep than "Oh my God" was used in PTSS. Do any of these bumbling morons know ANYthing?

Remmy: "The 'maggs messed with my head a while back."

SL4: Ever since then I HAVE to put catsup on my pancakes. I'm going to get those meanieheads for this!

Robinbunchanumbers: <from hallway door> : Don't steal my term, you meaniehead!

Remmy: "Maybe this has something to do with that. Some kind of side effect that Wade can tap into."

TBH: Boy, the Kromaggs must have been working 'round the clock on Remmy for the entire couple months he was locked up with them! They did all kinds of torture, brain washing, moving him around, AND now we find out they implanted a psychic short wave radio in his head.

Diana: "Maybe you have some kind of psychic link with her."

HTWD: So she's changed her label for him from psycho to psychic. Not much an improvement but we'll keep working on her.

Mallory: "The next time this unknown vortex appears, you're just going to jump in."

SL4: I know it's hard for you to believe, Mallory, but not everyone is a scared weenie like you.

Remmy: "I am."

TBH: I need a hand truck to cart my balls around in, I thought you knew that. :-D

Mallory: "Am I the only one here who thinks this might not be a good idea?"

HTWD: Lemme check! Yep. You're the only one with the yellow streak down your back.

Diana: "If you give me time to examine this data, maybe I can figure out what this thing is."

SL4: Then start examining! Why are you interjecting your little comments when you could be examining???

Remmy: "There's no time for that. She's leading us to her."

TBH: Or she could be leading us to our deaths, I'm not sure if she knows that we never lifted a finger to rescue her.

Maggie: "Do you really feel that strongly about this?"

HTWD: Baby, I would rather listen to your CD 17 times in a row than not step through the doorway the next time it appears. Does that convince you?

Remmy: "I do."

TBH: <mimicking Remmy> : Now I just need to find a woman willing to also say that.

Maggie: "Okay, I'm going with you."

SL4: Woo Hoo! Hopefully the Kromaggs have a spare fish tank!!! >:-D

Mallory: "You're serious?"

TBH: Jesus God, we go from Quinn, whom you couldn't keep out of other people's business with a crowbar, to this whiny coward who'd rather hide under the bed than do anything! As slow as this plot is moving I'd rather make fun of a Scottish Marine's kilt than sit in this hotel room one minute longer!

Maggie: "If Remmy says it's so, it's so."

HTWD: Besides, we never paid for this room so someone could come in at any minute. Who wants to be around for that?

Diana: "If this data is right there could be another dimension on the other side of that doorway, or we could be jumping into nothing."

TBH: <mimicking Charles Durning> : Ooooooo, I love to dance a little sidestep / Now you could jump into something, now you could jump into nothing!
