Brad: I guess we botched that up pretty merrily.

Schlock: At least we all made it back to the shuttle.

Brad: Poor Lieutenant Der Trihs, though. He lost an arm.

Schlock: He's insured. They'll regenerate it, right?

Brad: He's on the HMO plan. They will only spring for a "Best Efforts" prosthesis.

Schlock: Cybernetics? Cool! He might end up with a Grapple-Launcher, or a Hand-Cannon!

Der Trihs: This is your Best Effort?

Doctor: No. This is the HMO's Best Effort. I would have grafted you to the Ion-Spatula.

SFX: Whirrr (sound of electric whisk)
