Dr. Heller: It's a psychofrakulator. It creates a cloud of radically-fluctuating free-deviant chaotrons which penetrate the synaptic relays. It's concatenated with a synchronous transport switch that creates a virtual tributary.

Dr. Heller: [On the couch watching TV News of the action] Did that frakulator work or what? What's the deal there?
