The Odyssey1992

Medea:
I thought Jay was the wrecker.

Fractal:
It's within the statistical sphere of probabilities.

Medea:
But we got rid of him. Now this?

Fractal:
See, the trouble with the unscientific method is it's nonspecificity. What's important is not your ouija board. What's important is A. hypothesis, B. antithesis and C. synthesis.

Medea:
I knew that.

Fractal:
Thesis: Jay by his very presence will wreck the world.

Medea:
I already said that.

Fractal:
Antithesis: Jay by his very presence will not wreck the world. Neither the antithesis nor the thesis concur with the empirical realities of observation. Jay was in the world a long time without it getting wrecked. However, there does appear to be a link between him and the world falling apart. Synthesis: Jay wrecks the world when he leaves it.

Medea:
Oh. Of course. Everything started to fall apart when he left. And the grownups?

Fractal:
To restate the obvious, stories of the grownups only became rampant only after the world started to fall apart.

Medea:
[groans] I've been trying to get rid of him when all along I should've been trying to lock him up here forever.

Fractal:
If you can lock up someone who just disappears.

Medea:
Well, then, we'll just have to convince him that it's in everybody's best interest for him to stay.

Fractal:
First, you have to get him to come back.
