VERONICA: Farnsworth, you need to get in the water to synchronize the vibrations from the Earth's core and the pulses in your own cerebrospinal fluids! There's no time to fuss about it! Give up that stupid individual consciousness, the fiend without a face you so stubbornly nurture, and join the universal mind!
PHILCO: I just had a nifty idea for a film!
PHILCO: But I like my interior life, my grubby adventures in society. I have to say, I'm loving my point of view at this particular moment!
VERONICA: Stop resisting! It's futile! Archaeon and Eukaryote, time and space, all the categories are collapsing all over the globe! You have nowhere left to peddle your wares!
VERONICA: This showdown between systems of understanding is being played out on every geological front, in every age, SIMULTANEOUSLY! I'm in touch with battles around the globe that have different actors in the leading roles!
VERONICA: Thank god, you took the leap! I was going to miss having you around! But why the hell do you still have your suit on?
PHILCO: If all the categories collapse across this boundary, there's especially two I'm absolutely fanatical about, and I want to be identified as belonging to one of them!
VERONICA: But here's the thing, Philco! Mine is the sole mind on the planet! All the rest of you are mere props and walk-ons in the story unfolding around ME!
