That's the...president's authority, isn't it. [and cue the aggravated sigh.] So what can you do about Soviet attacks like the sharks and the monorail?

Some of us have a different way of 'cleaning up messes' than other.

And, one final question--this time about the Porter, not the Soviets. [and here, to Hans's credit, he at least SOUNDS like this is taking a lot out of him and that he's very sad about it.] I always assumed you had no control over when people arrive. Is the same true about when they leave?

My fiancee.

Hasn't somebody tried controlling that machine?

You have different people from different universes with different expertises--some of whom have had prior experience with machinery like this. I thought you'd be letting them study it.

Sensitive how?

Another chain of command thing, isn't it. [siiiiigh.]

It's a pity you can't change it.

However, it's amazing what one man can do when he puts his mind to something.
