Melody Wildflower Kelly:	There are federal subsidies to mad scientists?
Helen Beta Narbon:	Mm-hmm. The Nussbaum Fellowship for Evil Studie and the Carlo Lombardi Useless Science Grant. Lifesavers. They were establihed during the Reagan administration -- one of the few additions to the domestic budget. Our industry was very ... helpful to the administration.
M. Kelly:	Mad scientists created Star Wars technology?
H. Narbon:	Mad scientists created Ronald Reagan.
M. Kelly:	I see.
