Cueball is at the hospital for some form of check-up. Ponytail comes in to inform him of the tests they have ran, but her statements are frustrating, vague, and tautological. She says that his health data has revealed some "variables" but dances around what those variables are, only that they are the number one cause of "outcomes." This is tautological, simply defining what the words "variables" and "outcomes" mean.
 
 
 
Cueball tries to cut to the root of the issue by asking "what are my chances of survival?" Ponytail asks what is Cueball's family history, but rather than asking if his family has a history of similar symptoms to Cueball himself she is just asking if he has any family history whatsoever, another unhelpful inquiry as it does nothing to help with Cueball's questions.
