She:
You're going to have to help me get off.
The Man:
Me? Off where?
She:
Here. Off here. Off Earth.
The Man:
Oh, you mean, this "vile" planet?
She:
Yes.
The Man:
Looks OK to me.
She:
That's because you're like a frog.
The Man:
Oh, I see.
She:
You don't see at all. Have you ever cooked a live frog?
The Man:
Why would I want to do that?
She:
You might learn something.
[pause]
She:
When you drop a frog into a pot of boiling water it will jump straight back out to save itself. But if you put a frog into a pot of cold water and heat it slowly it will swim around quite happily until the water gets too hot and kills it.
The Man:
So?
She:
Are you representative of the level of intelligence here or are you particularly stupid?
The Man:
Oh, about average I'd say.
She:
This place is worse than I thought.
[pause]
She:
What happens to the second frog is what is happening to you here, right this minute. And I want to get off before the water boils.
