"...I doubt we will land in the appropriate places to meet those people. The armbands won't randomly land us anywhere that just existing there would be harmful."

"But what if you land in an extremely unethical zoo and have to save all the variously habitatted inmates."

"Then we would put them back where they came from, most likely."

"Their homeworlds have been tragically destroyed by space mice. ...Okay, now I'm just cribbing from shlocky sci fi."

"I admit, I have never heard of schlocky scifi where peoples' home planets were destroyed by space mice. Regardless, it still seems most efficient to find them homes in their universe of origin than to criticize the fact that we did not take advantage of nonexistent resources to be absurdly prepared to house people," she says archly.

"Very well. Build your narrow-minded non-radiation-shielded home without a lava pool or belljar."

"I am sure the zoodwellers will be delighted."

"People often are when we intervene with things!"

"There will be epic poems about you. Ballads. A nine-season television series."

"I call veto dibs on the actress who plays me."

"You'll count as a public figure. If you are allowed any input it will be the producer doing you a favor."

"See if I rescue him when the next unethical zoo comes along if he doesn't."

"Would you really leave a helpless producer in an unethical zoo? For refusing to compromise his artistic integrity?"

"Depends on whether or not 'artistic integrity' ends up equating to 'love of boobs'."

"You require accurate casting in the cup size department? That's your priority."

"I require an actress who has merits other than cup size. Cup size is merely the most obvious irrelevant trait that a particularly poor director might choose to sacrifice more important actressy traits for."

"It's actually pretty gauche in my era to make derogatory jokes about large breasts or their aficionados, or I'm sure I'd have a joke."

"Ah. Well, for me it is nineteen eighty-eight and there are more important groups to concern ourselves with."

"I see."

"...Buuut if someone is offended by something the correct answer is to apologize, not to defend it. Sorry."

"How enlightened of you."

"...It shouldn't be."

"Yes, well, even in my era most people get defensive."

"Yeah. It's unfortunate but what can you do."
