space/time continuum

good morning, herr doktor.
my boy, you're here just in time! behold my new invention! I can now merge space and time! distance has been rendered irrelevant!
wow, that's great, doktor. what does it do?
you are about to see! just step into my specially-designed booth over there.
ok. now what?
there is a duplicate booth on the other side of my lab. I'm going to send you there, molecule by molecule. instantly!
what? you mean you're going to take me apart?
and put you back together again! you won't feel a thing!
have you done this before?
well, er, yes. with your predecessor.
and did it work?
yes! well, he went somewhere, that's for sure.
somewhere? what does that mean? where is he?
floating in the ether, possibly disembodied. hard to say, actually.
disembodied? oh my god!
don't worry about a thing! but you better let me hold onto your wallet. just as a precaution, of course!
I'm not sure about this, doktor.
good thing lab assistants grow on trees!
what?
oh, nothing, nothing at all.
