Too SLOW!

"You know... This has gotten stale."
Danny looked up from his work to turn towards Taylor, who seemed to be deep in thought as she sat in the kitchen.
"Taking all of this time, achieving seemingly nothing... I can't believe it's taken me this long to see it."
Danny smiled resignedly at her. "What are you talking about this time, Taylor? Was it Amy, no, Lisa?"
Taylor shook her head. "No, not them. They're not important, not for this. No, it's all just me. I have all these abilities, all these powers, yet... ultimately, I'm not really achieving anything aren't I? It's gotten stale, Dad. It's gotten stale."
Danny kept on smiling. "What is stale, Taylor?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Taylor raised an eyebrow at her father. "It's this goddamn wait for the beef stew to cook!"
"I know it's cooking as fast as it can with the pressure cooker, but it's not fast enough. It's never fast enough, Dad."
"...Patience is a virtue?"
"It is until I manage to figure out how to warp spacetime enough to cook this in an instant. Or maybe I should apply SCIENCE! more creatively? But how...?"
"...just don't break the universe too much?"
"You know that's gone and done by now, Dad, sheesh where have you been?"
