A Twist in Time

---

"Horatio, push harder!"

"I'll try, Archie. I'll try."

"Try harder."

"I think I need some oil."

"Here's some."

<pause>

"Try again now."

"There that's better. It's sliding in now."

"But not all the way. Push harder."

"There! It's almost all the way in!"

"Almost."

"If I push it in a little further?"

"Oh, yes, do."

"I'll try."

<pause>

"Almost there. I'll try twisting it."

"Yes, twist it. That's it. Pull out. Now push in again."

"How's that, Archie?"

"Mm, I think you've done it! Yes! Yes, that's good!"

"And if I give it another little twist?"

"Ah, you've done it now!"

"And it glides all the way in beautifully."

"Thank heaven you were able to fix the Captain's glass, Horatio."

"Especially after you dropped it, Archie."
