"Yeah, don't blame you," Marty says. "My cousin grew up the heir to some fish-canning empire back in his own world, and now he won't touch seafood at all. Well, except for lobster -- didn't have that quite so much."

"I think that's more a question for Doc than me," he confesses, licking a stray drip as it runs toward his hand. "He's the one who's studied how multiverses work and time travel and all that. But judging by the movies that we were supposedly supposed to star in, no, you gotta see the differences first. I mean, it would be handy to just know, but--" He shrugs. "Maybe you gotta be attuned to the multiverse or something?" He takes another bite of cone. "And maybe. . .I'm not even gonna try to guess at how the Nexus works." That way lies only madness.

"Yeah, I'm familiar with the Mario and Luigi brand of plumbing too," Marty says with a smile. "The real stuff? Not so much. And Doc can fix a leak, but I don't think he could plumb a house from scratch. Maybe you guys oughta make a list of all the different kinds of people you think you might need?" Be a pretty long list, sure, but it would be a place to start.
