And he steps out of his smoking ship, cursing and kicking the side panels. He decides to step into the first place he sees, which is Russ & Daughters delicatessen.
The fellow behind the counter is a bit startled to see an alien in his shop, but he says, "what can I get for you, sir?"
The alien says, "My ship crashed! I need a *troover* to get it working again.
"Well, what's a *troover?*" asks the man behind the counter.
The alien sighs and says, "well, they're not too big, round, kind of soft on the outside, they have a hole in the middle, I suppose there's no way you'd have one..."
And the guy pulls out a bagel and says, "I don't suppose it looks anything like this?"
The alien shrieks in delight, "my goodness! You DO have them! What do you use them for?"
The guy says, "well, this is going to sound a little odd, but we...well. We eat them."
The alien's eyes widen. "You...you eat *troovers*?"
"Sure, buddy! Here. Have a taste."
The alien dubiously accepts it and nibbles gingerly at the edge. He looks up and says, "you know, a little cream cheese and these wouldn't be half bad!"
