A Conversation From the Bar Scene

Mark: Where did Larry go?

Brad: He didn't say he was leaving.

Mark: It's like he just disappeared.

Brad: Maybe on his way back from the restroom he passed near a quantum singularity and is just slightly out of phase with us.

Mark: Like Geordi and Ro Laren?

Brad: Exactly.

Mark: We should sweep the bar with a tachyon field.

Brad: (looks around) Maybe. But it's already been swept with a tacky outfit field, and that hasn't helped at all.
