Clark's holding a box, though all that's visible inside is some kind of red fabric. He looks contemplative, which is nothing unusual. "How do you know if the time is right for you to do something really important?"

Marty peers at the box curiously. Now what's in there? "I don't know," he admits. "I guess you sort of -- feel it in your gut? That works for me, and I'm pretty sure that's how it works for Doc too."

Whatever's inside seems to be wrapped in the fabric, hiding it from sight. Clark looks happy to see Marty, anyway. It's been a while on his end. "Hard to tell what's nerves, what's fate, and what's wanting to get it over with sometimes," he says, not quite chuckling.

"Yeah, I hear ya," Marty says. "But hell, maybe wanting to get it over with is a sign it's time too." He shrugs -- he's no great philosopher.

"If that's the case, I may have been getting signs for years." It's a bit of a joke, and Clark's learned to enjoy humor as a coping mechanism, even if he's not the wittiest of comedians.

Usually when you ask that kind of question, that's the time.

Otherwise, flip a coin.
