"Good news is, it would seem it's true, in that it's possible to return home. The bad news is that it's also possible to be bounced back here like it never happened. Lost -- or gained, depending on how you look at it -- about three weeks of time. Some shit, is what it was."

But... she did. [Another pause.] Does. [Hmmm...] So, suppose it meant something, for a time.

It should still mean something now.

...

Perhaps.
