"I think I've got an idea!"

"You?"

"You don't have to insult--"

"Just what's the idea?"

"No, not if you're going to--"

"Come on!"

"I forget."

"You're kidding!"

"If you hadn't interrupted! It's almost on the edge of my tongue--"

"Well, push it out!"

"I think--it's stuck."

"Crawling back into you to die?"

"That's a thought. God! It hurts!"

"Just like all your others, which is why--"

"Wait, I think it's--no, false alarm. I can't believe I'm wishing for prostate cancer; that would be less painful!"

"--you never go anywhere; it's just the same old rut--"

"Could you leave off the pep talk? Distracting me--"

"As if anyone could distract you better than--"

"Eureka! I've--"

"Yourself, er, yeah?"

"--got it!"

"--and maybe our lives."

"And if it doesn't work?"

"How so?"

"What if they've disabled permissions?"

"We've got to do it first."

"So do it!"

"You're the one with the key!"

"They key's on the server!"

"I think we need an idea."
