Frank and Ernest Celestial Accountants. How's the audit of the Bankrupt Universe, Inc. going, Ernie?

"Wow, it almost makes me feel as insignificant as an unpaid internship."

The moon used to be a ghostly, unreachable companion in the night sky. Men and women would gaze at it at night, and its mystery would get them in the mood for lovin'. House of Java . Net Cybercafe. Then NASA had to go louse it all up by sending people there. It took decades of us giving up and abandoning the moon for it to start to seem untouchable again.
