Quote from Lane in In the Clamor and the Clangor
Lane: So, you wanna borrow the new Sparks? Rory: Please! Oh, now how about this? Tell your Mom that you're taking an astronomy class, and you have to go on a field trip to look at the stars. Lane: There are no astronomy classes at Adventist College. That would imply the universe is old. Rory: Not a lot of loopholes in your world, huh? Lane: It's okay, I'll come up with something. My entire life has been a training session for this very event. Rory: I have faith in you. Lane: Thank you.
