Dave and Pender in The Maxx

Dr. Pender? You in here?

Yeah, Dave. Just thought I'd work a little late tonight.

Kinda dark to be grading papers, isn't it?

Oh...right. Go ahead and turn on the light. I was just thinking.

'Bout what?

About life. I never planned to teach at a community college--I just wound up doing it. Just makes ya think. Don't you ever regret the road your life has taken?

I didn't plan on being a janitor, either, but I don't beat myself up about it. Hey doc, what'd you always want to be when you were a kid?

Oh, I dunno. Maybe something exotic--a magician. Maybe an Indian. I always hated cowboys.

Me too. Maybe you already are a magician, but you just don't know it. Heh heh. Listen, doc, when I was a little boy, and the girl nest door moved away, I thought my whole life had ended.

And now that you're older, you see otherwise.

I've told you this already, huh?

Yeah, but tell me again...

Hey, where'd that snow globe on your desk come from?

I don't know. It wasn't there a minute ago...
