Wherein the professor has no concern for the passage of time
"Professor, are you still awake?"
"Indeed. I must complete my review of the results of the day's experiment."
"But aren't you tired? It's the middle of the night."
"Nonsense. It's still two in the afternoon. See the clock?"
"...Professor, that clock broke when your experiment exploded. It's stopped."
"So it is. But even a stopped clock is right twice a day. And as a new day has not yet begun, there's still an opportunity for it to be correct once more. Who's to say whether that time is now?"
"But even if that were the case, that would make it two in the morning. Of a new day."
"Well if it were that early, then would be too late to be worried about how late it is. And if it were indeed morning, then you should be making my morning coffee. Chop chop! Time's a wasting!"
