"I... yeah," Stan says, instead of letting on that he's got no idea what that Eye of Providence shit even is. Would he have pointed it out before, as kids, when Ford said something had no clue how to understand? Stan tries to remember, and figures that he probably would have. Then he woulda' punched Ford's shoulder, probably, and called him a nerd, laughed a little.

It doesn't matter, though. He knows what Ford's getting at, and Ford needs him to understand this so he puts that other question aside, puts that unease and not-like-it-used-to-be right out of his mind.

"Huh. That ain't what I pictured. I was thinkin' at least some little horns, you know. That whole look. So uh, what kinda' sci-fi movie are we talkin' about? You mentioned, uh, time travel and uh, parallel whatever. Is that..." He shrugs, knowing it's a stupid question even when it's coming out of his mouth because whether the answer's yes or no, it's an answer that probably oughta' be obvious. He tries to make the question look casual, like he already knows the answer and just wants to check, and maybe kind of fails. A little.

"Did you mean that's, you know, the kinda' stuff we oughta' be looking out for? What kinda' sci-fi are we talkin' here, Star Trek or Twilight Zone?"
