#474: Turn-On explain

Turn-On

[Cueball walks up to Megan sitting at a bar.]

Cueball: So, the LHC’s turning on. This could be our last night on earth.

[While Beret Guy as a bartender walks into the frame, Megan replies without turning.]

Megan: Gimme a break. They’re not even colliding yet, and it won’t do anything cosmic rays haven’t.

[Cueball turns and walks away. But then Megan turns towards him and says:]

Megan: Hey, I didn’t say no.

Megan: I’m a physics grad student. I need the excuse to party.

[Cueball turns back and they talk:]

Cueball: So, you’re up for a night with a charming stranger?

Megan: Depends. Top or bottom?

Cueball: Hey, I haven’t even bought you a drink.

Megan: Barkeep, two whiskey sours, straight down.
