W: No. We must ask them if we can co-exist. M: Co-exist? Are you crazy? No one can co-exist with these aliens. Look at their hospitality. One of them wanted to punish us, to annihilate us. W: And yet here we are: Alive and well. M: After one minute? Don’t count on it. (One minute later. The shuttle docks at the space station.) M: (After noticing the aliens) Oh boy! W: No way! B: So, where is this proof of your planet? M: Well, this is quite unexpected. B: What is? M: You look exactly like us. Eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hair. 10 fingers. Oh boy! B: What are you playing at? W: Please, your majesty. We mean no harm. This is going to be hard for you to believe, but the people back on Earth look exactly like the people of this planet. A: Outrageous. These clowns are trying to trick us, your majesty. They are just commoners trying to escape. B: Silence! M: Your highness, have you ever heard of parallel universe theory? B: No. Please, enlighten me. M: Well, according to parallel universe theory, there is another world in the universe exactly analogous or parallel to the world we live in. It appears that we are the parallel of each other. B: Do you really expect me to believe this story? A: I say we execute these traitors right here and now. B: Silence! This is the last time. Any more from you and YOU will be executed. A: Yes, your highness. W: Your majesty, I’m afraid, this story is the best we got. B: Is that so? If that is truly the case, I hereby sentence you to . . . M: Wait! There’s one more thing. If we truly are in a parallel universe, then killing us would kill our matches. Is there anyone on your planet who looks exactly like us? B: Hmm… No one. W: Please . . .think quite hard before sentencing us. B: Hmm… Now that I think about it, you do look awfully similar to my nephew and his girl. But that can’t be. You two aren’t together. W: But of course we are. M: Yes. Do you want proof? B: No. I do not want you two Earthlings making love on my planet. M: Then, how shall we prove our love to each other? B: You shall not. Leave this planet. I will spare your lives, but I shall not do anything for your planet Earth. M: Thank you. You are far too kind. B: Leave before I change my mind. A: Wait! You are just letting them go free? B: Waymeather, you are hereby sentenced to life in prison for inappropriate conduct! (Back on the spaceship) W: Whew! That was a close one! You weren’t really going to prove your love, right there in front of them, were you? M: Ha, ha. What do you think??
