I smile enigmatically.

Well, we could go down to the harbor, and boat over, but since we're right here, I have a faster method in mind --- if you do not object to a ride before your ride. And if you do not mind going alone.

I raise my eyebrows questioningly.

You think for a moment, then say Sure, why not.

I open the eastern door, revealing a hall closet, and pull out an odd looking hand-held vacuum cleaner, with an apple logo on the side. With my other hand, I reach into my pocket, rummage around, and come up empty. I look briefly displeased, stare off into space for a few seconds while tapping my chin with one finger, and then bend down and pull off a shoe.

I inspect it carefully, and pull a small brown piece of something off the sole. I place it on the floor, and with a flick of my thumb on a button, suck it into the iVac.

There, that should do the trick.

Hold still, and don't panic.
