Council Chief
- [Celeste consults with the alien council]
- Celeste Martin: The subject says he will be unable to think about science unless he marries me.
- Council Chief: Well, marry him.
- Celeste Martin: But we don't know what "marry" is.
- Council Chief: One moment.
- [the second council member takes a book. He and the council chief leaf through it until they find the page about marriage]
- Council Chief: Ah, yes. The Monchine Forty says marriage is this: he goes off to fight the Turks, and you put on a lock.
- [Celeste is confused]
- Second in Command: No, no, no.
- [they leaf more pages]
- Council Chief: Oh, yes, yes. Wrong century. Eh... marriage is this: you cook and clean and bring him martinis.
- Second in Command: No, no!
- Council Chief: Wrong again? Ridiculous...
- [they leaf more pages]
- Council Chief: Yes. Wrong decade. Too old-fashioned. Ah, here we are, yes. The modern marriage: there are no rules or responsibilities, but if he does something wrong, you can set him on fire while he sleeps and go on a talk show, where everyone will forgive you and love you. There is only one drawback: you will have to have more sex.
- Celeste Martin: [excitedly] I'll do it!
