“Hey, you zip about Dave?”

“No, my telepathic faculties were centered on that mutant chick in Underground Detroit with the outstanding frontal lobes. Who’s Dave? What about him?”

“He hit the deer, man. Talk about bad luck. The last deer on the planet and Dave hits it.”

“Is the deer okay?”

“It’s being cloned right now. It will be all right; they figure they can clone another deer from it, plus maybe some excellent venison steak.”

“你mean… meat? I haven’t had any meat for, oh, I don’t know, maybe 200 years! What was, er, Dave on, anyway?”

“Nothing, man, he was straight.”

“No, what was he what, riding?”

“他是对MV-印度哈雷 - 凯旋，宝马，本田，当然。这是所有有“。

“We haven’t got any fuel. What did he use to drive it?”

“蒸馏一些燃料它自己。他得到的ROBO-工厂提供了过期须后水和用过的旧威士忌酿酒厂的万加仑出来荒凉之路“。

“Ten thousand gallons? How come he got ten thousand gallons of aftershave? Er, what’s aftershave? Come to think of it, what’s whiskey?”

“We, er, we like used to grow hair on our face, and…”

“Hair on our face? We don’t grow hair anywhere. Even the deer doesn’t grow hair. The only animal that still grows hair is the rat, man. I saw him on ViveVideo last night, playing the ‘piano’.”

“Yeah, but we used to grow hair on our face, and we used to shave it off, then we’d put on aftershave.”

“That’s disgusting. Why didn’t we just tweak our genes so we wouldn’t grow hair anymore? Like we tweaked our genes so that our liver would release a certain amount of alcohol into our system all the time? Wait… shave it off? Like with a blade? Blades have been illegal for, like, longer than I can remember!”

“No, most of the time these were Safety razors…”

“你said the sacred word! All stand and genuflect! SAFETY! Save us from ourselves, O Safety! Our Word in heaven, hallowed be thy spelling…”

“Yeah, yeah, it’s just us here. Sit down. Oh, you can’t, can you? You’re a disembodied brain in a bottle in a machine like me. Settle down then. Here. Have a piece of seaweed sashimi into your loading port.”

“你know, I swear by Saint Rollie I’ve heard that sashimi used to be actual fish.”

“垃圾。你知道至少有，哪一样离开了世界200人，其中包括在地下底特律那个小妞。如何将他们曾经有拉长的鱼给大家一块？”

“Well, they say there used to be more than one fish…”

“That’s crazy talk! You might as well say that there used to be more than one MV-Indian-Harley-Davidson-Triumph-BMW-Honda! Come to think of it, how’s the bike?”

“Oh, it’s good. They got the 3D printer out there right away and it’s reprinting the Safety… whoops, said the magic word! …features on the bike. The crash bars…”

“Hey! You know it’s illegal to say the word, ah, (whispers) ‘crash’. You mean the Safety… sit still, er, float still in your machine… the Safety bars.”

“Yeah, thanks, reprinting the Safety bars, and nothing else was damaged in the, the accident.”

“Whoa. ‘Accident’. Pretty risqué talk there.”

“Well I know you’re not supposed to say words like that, but you know, we’re near enough to adults at 250, and there’s nobody under 150 years old who can hear us. Actually, there’s nobody under 150 years old in the world. So anyway, it’s all good. All good.”

“一个救济位。顺便说一句，你在看ViveVision今晚？他们说，老鼠是要在模拟运行摩托车迷宫，住！那么，假设它仍然活着。如果不是，他们将使用roborat。或电刺激。如果一个狂风大作带动风车，这是非常不可能的，因为没有太多的气氛左“。

“Naw. Can I trust you? We’re going to watch an old bootleg video of Easy Rider tonight. Want to come over and pedal?”

“Wow. I’ve heard about this. The 2301 Easy Rider Mobility Scooter GP at Underground America in Texas! With the revived consciousness of Valentino Rossi steering one of the scoots through the tunnels!”

“啊，我的钱 - 这是什么意思，钱呢？- 是凯文·施瓦茨的恢复意识。他是地方。必须是一个局部优势“。

“行！我打赌你6个月仙丹的凯文需要它了！”

“你’re on. Oh, by the way, how’s Dave?”

“Dave? Oh, who cares? One fewer mouth to feed with seaweed sashimi. Have another one on me.”
