[Martin has to walk across Cosmo's office at two inches per second to avoid triggering the motion sensors; outside, Werner arrives with Liz]

Donald Crease : Yeah, why?

[Mother walks into the room and triggers the motion sensor]
Donald Crease : This is what's in Cosmo's office. Best motion sensor on the market.
Mother : And watch this.
[he breathes in front of the sensor, and it goes off]
Donald Crease : Also responds to thermal differentials.
Martin Bishop : Does this have a happy ending?
Mother : Oh, yeah. We can wrap you in a full-body suit of neoprene, heat-resistant rubber. Or we can raise the temperature in Cosmo's office to 98.6 degrees - which is probably what we'll have to do, because the neoprene would suffocate you. Either way, you've got a top speed of two inches per second. Any faster than that...
[alarm beeps]
Mother : and, uh, big guys with guns. But you'll probably do fine.
Martin Bishop : Since when am I the one who's...
Mother : This is the same model answering machine that Janek used for the shell of his box, now that's what you'll be carrying across the room at two inches per second. I got that for you because I figured you'd just, you know, want to practice. Remember to go real slow!
Martin Bishop : Slow.
[looks at Crease]
Donald Crease : You get all the *fun* stuff...

Dr. Elena Rhyzkov : I leave message here on service, but you do not call.
Dr. Gunter Janek : Oh, I-I'm sorry, it's just...
Mother : [stops the tape] Okay, that's definitely W-G.
Crease : Definitely not. No, that's a "V"...
Martin Bishop : [giving up] She's in the way.

Martin Bishop : How's the audio?
