STANFORD: I put a spatially tessellated void inside a modified temporal field until a planet developed intelligent life. I then introduced that life to the wonders of electricity, which they now generate on a global scale. And, you know, some of it goes to power my engine and charge my phone and stuff.

DIPPER: You have a whole planet sitting around making your power for you? That’s slavery.

STANFORD: It’s society. They work for each other, Dipper. They pay each other. They buy houses. They get married and make children that replace them when they get too old to make power.

DIPPER: That just sounds like slavery with extra steps.

STANFORD: Ooh-la-la, someone’s gonna get laid in college.
