"You should keep a journal of those things," Dustin suggested.
"I do, I thought I should keep records of every change, to study them later when I get out of all this."
"Really?" asked Dustin enthusiastically "Sounds interesting, would you let me read it?"
"Sure, I have it in the car, I'll give it to you before I leave."
"Great, thanks."
"We could also take a sample of your DNA and analyze it to see if you've undergone any, you know, mutations? Maybe we'll make some important discovery, like your genes aren't human, that you came from another planet or something, can you imagine?"
"I haven't really given that much thought".
"Well, but if that was the case it would be a great discovery, don't you think? It would be just great. Ah, I can't wait to get started!"
"… If you're willing to donate the blood sample, of course." Dustin finished.
"Sure, why not?"
"Well, we'll do it as soon as Dad unlocks the document. And after the wedding. I can't afford to do my experiments now, Judith would just kill me."
"Easy, Dust, we'll do it whenever you can," Robin smiled.
"Seriously, would you really let me take a sample of your DNA?" Dustin asked, when he managed to control his enthusiasm.
"Sure, I trust you as a scientist more than I trust myself."
"Er -- Well, maybe it won't be me taking your sample myself, but Mom or Juliette. I'm a scientist, yes, but I specialize in inanimate matter, Juliette and Mom, on the other hand, are in the Biology field, they're better suited for that".
"Oh, okay".
"But thanks for the vote of confidence," Dustin smiled.
"You're welcome," Robin replied sympathetically.
