SURE, I RECOGNIZED HIM AT SOME POINT. THE ONLY PERSON I TRUSTED BACK THEN WAS ME, SO I MADE SURE I CAUGHT HIS EYE. THEN WE WERE ABLE TO WORK FROM BOTH ENDS OF THE DIMENSIONAL BARRIER! THEY MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS WITH ME. WITH US! I WAS WHERE I NEEDED TO BE, BECAUSE I'D ARRIVED IN TIME FOR MYSELF.
[Bill thinks, taps his foot.]
...LOOK, TIME TRAVEL IS FUN, BUT IT'S HARD TO WORK INTO A STORY.
THE FUTURE VERSION OF ME TOLD ME THAT WE WERE GOING TO MAKE A DEAL. THAT SOUNDED FUN - I LIKED THE IDEA OF BOTH OF US NOT BOTHERING TO PRETEND WE WEREN'T SELF-INTERESTED. EVERYTHING ABOVE THE TABLE! HE SAID HE'D GET ME OUT, AND THAT WAS EVEN BETTER. I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE WE WERE GOING, BUT, SURE, JUST ABOUT ANYTHING'S BETTER THAN THE SECOND DIMENSION. I ALSO DIDN'T KNOW THAT WHEN TWO DIMENSIONAL COUNTERPARTS TOUCH, THE PARADOX COLLAPSES THE WHOLE THING.
[Bill turns a shaking-hands-with-himself gesture into a flat clapping motion - boom.]
