Beret man: Wake up! --- Wake up!
Bed man: What is it?

Beret man: And if one of Earth's cultures advances its space program enough to start enriching uranium on asteroids, we'll lose the main barrier to restarting Project Orion and building nuke-riding City-ships!

[[Beret man bends down to eye level with person in bed, who is peaking his face out from the covers.]]
Beret man: The only known technology capable of fast interstellar travel could be operational within just a few generations, and we're discovering all these destinations to pick from! -- Come

Bed man: Can I hit "snooze"?
Beret man: Okay, but 
just once!
