PUTZHO: This story of yours ...
You're encouraging me to take a warship.
ULAQUE: I am.
DORAGNE: You are?
PUTZHO: And you are voicing contrary opinions for the express purpose of creating illusory dissent.
Probably to encourage me to think outside of your ball.
ULAQUE: What do you want, Putzho?
PUTZHO: I want a Gen-4B9105 supercruiser, type six loadout package, with an abridged probability manifold in aux bay one, and a selection of size four mindframe avatars in bay two.
And one size eight, in case I'm feeling stompy.
DORAGNE: Somebody figured out how to use a library card.
ULAQUE: Everything will be aboard by the time you upload to the ship.
PUTZHO: If that's the uplink, I think this is goodbye, Ulaque.
ULAQUE: If you leave, you won't be coming back. This is a one-way trip.
PUTZHO: From a thermodynamic perspective, every trip is one-way.
DORAGNE: I'm shocked that he would accuse me of being dishonestly contrary.
ULAQUE: Putzho is an optimist.
He's happier believing that you are only acting like a jerk.
