*Gaunter thinks.*
Gaunter: You want a teleporter that takes you to other dimensions? Anti matter gun... ummmmm... maybe a ship with a improbability drive?

Hmm... just me? No... not what I want. I'd be lonely, and what do other dimensions have that this one doesn't?
Gun... no. That just sounds like it'd blow up the planet. Improbability drive? What's that?
