9th incision; video
[Dark video, really, because the only light that's apparent seems to be the glow from some kind of backlit screen. (it's a very old computer monitor, actually.) Stein's face is illuminated, though, and that's all that really matters.]
Sometimes I find that during a night of tossing and turning, spurned from the ultimate late-night goal of sleep, funny ideas pop into my head. No doubt a normal phenomenon.
[he smiles benignly and begins to turn his screw, slowly. It creaks as he does so.]
It's a horribly subjective topic. Ethics. Morals. You might even say that no two subjects agree on what the meaning of those two words should be.
[Whoops, "subjects" should probably have been "people". But Stein's not taking it back. He takes his hand away from the screw and pulls a cigarette out of his pocket.]
Naturally I'm interested in, as they say, "polling the audience".
[Cigarette in mouth, he next produces a match which he strikes by flicking the head with his thumbnail. With an expression that's closer to a leer than a smile, he leans forward in his seat so that the newly burning tip of the cigarette is practically touching the communicator.]
So pick one or the other and tell me why anybody should care. I'm interested in a purely scientific manner.
