[ There's something strange about Amory Felix today. For one, the uncanny brightness of his stare. Then there's his relaxed posture and just the general ease of contentment that seems to emanate from him, belying the dark circles beneath his eye and the swallow color of his skin.
He stands in front of a workshop table, cluttered with various diagrams and paper, some depicting diagrams, others covered with lines of mathematical formula. In the corner of the table, you can see a book--Cosmology by Sean M. Carroll. And behind him, you can see part of the DeLorean --- yes, yes, he is in Doc Brown's workshop. ]
That curse we had a few days ago--
[ He raises an eyebrow. ]
You know, the one where everyone was being incredibly frank.
[ Despite his usual diatribes, it's hard to tell whether he's being perfectly serious, for his tone is notably jocund. He's having fun. As he talks, he tinkers with some type of mechanical device, unaware that his fingers are shaking.]
When I was nine, my father taught me that to get anything accomplished, you need to be disingenuous. You have to say what you mean to say without saying it at all. Because nobody wants to hear the truth, even if they say otherwise, even if ultimately proves beneficial.
Except-- I realized that I liked being earnest.
[ The slightest grin pulls at his lips. ]
Come on, you can't tell me it didn't feel great to say what you truly felt.

[He sees that DeLorean hiding there.]
You are helping Doctor Brown with his time-traveling vehicle?
no subject
[ He grins. ]
I do what I can, and- [ There are two barks. ] I feed his dog.
no subject
That is very important. More important, maybe, than working on the machine.
no subject
Of course. Can't imagine what the Doc would do if I starved his dog. Turn him in a lab experiment.
no subject
If you did anything unpleasant to the dog, you would be a likely candidate for any lab experiments, I think.
no subject
I'd say that'd be illegal, but then again, that deity did kidnap that girl one time.
no subject
The deities kidnapped all of us--that is the prevailing theory.
no subject
I'm not referring to that. I'm talking about a specific incident: a girl was kidnapped by one of the deities - the scientist.

no subject
I don't know the exact details.
no subject
It is good that Doctor Brown is not a mad scientist. [pause] Or, if he is, he is kinder than most.
