LORNE: Well, sometimes nothing is the best something. If a thing is meant to be sometimes it is best to just let it happen rather than try to force it.
GROO: But if a thing is meant to be then how can it be forced?
LORNE: Well, I guess it can't.
GROO: And if a thing is not meant to be?
LORNE: Well, then it really can't. Just because someone hops a dimension or two is no guarantee that things will work out.
