I thought this was a matter of some urgency, Harry. It is, I said. But I fell from the sky today. I could use a couple of waffles.
In "The End of All Things" by John Scalzi, the characters find themselves in a situation that feels urgent, prompting a dialogue about the importance of addressing immediate concerns. The urgency is contrasted with a more lighthearted need for comfort, as one character expresses their desire for waffles, highlighting the human tendency to seek simple pleasures even in dire circumstances.
This exchange reveals the balance between urgency and personal needs. While the situation may be critical, the mention of wanting waffles serves as a reminder that, regardless of the chaos around them, characters still crave normalcy and small joys amidst their challenges. This blend of seriousness and humor reflects the complexity of their experiences.
