NBC Experiment in Television

Professor:
[clears throat] Excuse me, I know this is, well, a bad time but I just wanted to congratulate you and shake your hand.

The Man in the Cube:
Oh? On what?

Professor:
Well, as I interpret what you're doing here, this is all a very complex discussion of, eh, Reality versus Illusion. The perfect subject for the television medium!

The Man in the Cube:
What do you mean, television?

Professor:
Well, this is a television play.

The Man in the Cube:
[scoffs] What?

Professor:
Oh, you don't believe that?

The Man in the Cube:
Of course not!

Professor:
I should have thought you'd want to. After all, there's only one other possible explanation.

The Man in the Cube:
Which is?

Professor:
Hallucination. That you are altogether insane.
