As Garison showed the delivery man where to put the boxes, Jon asked, "You sure you can afford all this? I mean, that's a lot to pay just for a machine that duplicates tapes. We could have hooked your camera into my VCR and made copies."

"Wouldn't be very good picture quality," Heather pointed out.

Garison smiled and shrugged, "I'm not out any money, just plastic."

As the delivery man left, Day said, "But you have to pay for it sometime."

"Not this time," Garison laughed. At Day's questioning look, Garison explained, "One of two things is going to happen before that bill comes due. Either the world is going to end, or we're going to repair time and I never will have made this charge to begin with. Either way, as far as interest payments go, I'm home free."

Day nodded and said, "You have a point there. Kind of a scary one, but a point nonetheless. You know, if you didn't mind running the risk of the end of the world, you could have quite a scam going there. Makes me think I'm going to go get that big screen TV I've always wanted."

As they started pulling the new VCR and dubbing machine out of their respective boxes, Day remembered, "I used to work with a little Italian guy when I was a manager at Penneys. We got to talking about the end of the world one day because some bunch of wackos had said that day was going to be the end of the world. Something about how the planets were going to align that night or something like that. I asked Peter what he would do if he knew for a fact that the world was going to end at midnight—like they said.

"His name was Peter, by the way. He said he would go out and buy him the biggest, fanciest Cadilac he could find. One with lots of leather and a great stereo and the works. Then, he'd go pick up the biggest pizza he could find—loaded down with everything they had. The messier, the better. Then he'd get a six pack of beer and head out to a bluff outside of town where the young folks went to make out. There he planned to sit and eat pizza and drink beer and watch the world end. But I think the part that appealed to him the most was that he could spill stuff all over that brand new Cadilac and it wouldn't matter to anyone."

"Whatever happened to Peter? I mean, I'm assuming the world didn't end that night."

"I think I heard he gave up drinking and entered the priesthood." At their questioning glances, he added, 'Really."
