60 Second Interview With A Pair Of Lab Technicians

    No.113: “So what brought you both to the Village?”
    No.242: “Well I can't say really.”
    No.243: “It could have been by helicopter.”
    No.242: “Or boat perhaps.”
    No.243: “We were unconscious at the time you see.”
    No.113: “Oh I see. Well why were you brought to the Village?”
    No.243: “I invented an acid that will eat through anything!
    No.242: “Really. What do you keep it in?”
    No.243: “That's just the trouble. I can't keep it in anything!”
    No.242: “Mmmmm, that's a problem isn't it?”
    No.243: “Yes.”
    No.113: “And you No. Two-four-two, why were you brought here to the Village?”
    No.242: “I invented an alloy which is indestructible!”
    No.243: “That's fascinating.”
    No.242: “Do you really think so?”
    No.243: “Yes. You could make a container out of your indestructible alloy.”
    No.242: “And you could put your acid in it.”
    No.243: “Could I?”
    No.242: “Be a pleasure”
    No.113b “Smile” {click goes the camera}
   No.113b: “It’s nice to see two such scientists working together in perfect harmony here in the Village. What are you both working on at present?”
    No.242 “It's something for No.2. We're testing these blank sheets of paper.”
   No.13: “Why?”
   No.243 “For whatever's written on them.”
   No.113: “Is there anything written on them?”
   “No.”
   "You've tried the fumes test?"
   "Of course we've tried the fumes tst!"
   No.242 "We've tried everything, including Lemon!"
   No.113: “So the test is a success then.”
   “How do you mean?”
    No.113: “Well you've discovered that there's nothing written on those blank sheets of paper.”
    “We don't think No.2 will see it quite like that.”
    No.242: “Who's going to tell him?”
    No.243: ”You.”
    No.242: “Why Me?”
    No.243: “He listens to you.”
   No.242: “He didn't the last time when I tried to tell him.........”
