"Well Miss Possible, my early experiments were all leading up to this: the matchmaker 4000."
“Matchmaker 4000? Sounds like some kind of dating service.” Ron said absentmindedly.
“Not quite Mr. Stoppable, in fact it will make all those ‘dating services’ out of date. You know, you’re always told that if you can’t be with the one you love then you should love the one you’re with? Well, I say phooey to that.”
“So, you’re a song critic and scientist?” Ron asked.
“No, that’s not it at all. Why do you even work with this Dummkopf?”
“Please Doctor, you were about to tell us what this device does.” Kim said with a smile. Even she had to admit Ron wasn’t all together most of the time.
“Ah yes, my machine. Well you see, the primary structure of the device emits a concentrated neutrino beam modulated to the same wave length as human brain waves. At the same time, the secondary and tertiary modules emit small sonic distortions that…”
“Newcherrio beams? Modu-whats it? Can you say that again in English?” Ron asked as he scratched his head.
“The device emits a beam that permanently rewires the targets brain, causing the target to become passionately in love and slavishly devoted to a particular individual.”
“Oh, I get it now. You don’t need to love the one you’re with because you can have the one you want. Yeah, not bad Doc but I would have picked a more modern song. Maybe one from this century.” Ron commented in his usual unconcerned tone.
“Doctor, did you even consider the ethical consequences of creating this device? You’re trying to alter the very fabric of human relationships, if not civilization. Why would you possibly make this?” Kim questioned him in awe.
“Actually, Dr. Lang bet me that such a device would be impossible and I simply wanted to proof him wrong. Do you really think my little device could be that important?” He asked, sounding legitimately surprised.
Kim simply shook her head in dismay, “Don’t worry, we’ll get your device back.”
