9-year-old Helen is so freaking adorable! I love her pigtails.

On the run now from the CIA ...
Come with me, I think my daughter ran this way!
She's blonde with braids, and a shirt that's really cool!
What's the diff between "enslaved" or "work for"? Miniscule!

Hey, this is Dave, he'll work for you!
He's seen the future, and there's robot butlers ev'rywhere!
You'll nuke Long Island 'fore you're through!
This kid named Dave will help you, too!

Saturday:

Dr. Narbon seems to have finally bought this "time traveling 26-year-old 6-year-old" story, and Davey didn't even need to bust out some secret personal details on her (which, let's face it, would probably all be inaccurate until several years from now).

The good news is that Dr. Narbon really does get her act together, but at the expense of her body parts no longer being together. Thank you, thank you, and good night.

I'm entertaining the hypothesis that this encounter is actually the cause of Helen hiring Dave in the future, which would turn it from an incredible coincidence to a logical necessity.

My question is, what dealings does Dr. Narbon have with the CIA?… and why do I have the feeling I don’t really want to know the answer?

Wait, hang on, I forgot to do something yesterday:

Fourth-wall dialogue: 44.

Okay, universe back in balance, carry on.

Helen Beta Narbon, where the heck are you!
Gotta run, we got six hours, tops!
Not from Minnesota, we're just passing through
Away from ra-di-o-ac-ti-vi-ty and cops!

Gotta run! Gotta hide! Gotta go, yeah!
Now we gotta flee the scene!
Goodness me! Goodness my! Goodness oh, yeah!
Helen's mom's the queen of mean!

Friday:

Fortunately, of course, Dr. Narbon's irresponsible irradiation had absolutely no effect on Davey's body, mind or future destiny.

To quote jcampbel: "Of course, as I pointed out the other day, Dave's cunning plan here neglects to take into account that yesterday he told not-yet-Dr. Narbon where to find him in twenty years when she's discovered that he's lying."

Gosh, she might be so peeved as to kill Dave dead with a death-ray!
