Transcript:
Beni: The matter-antimatter matrix in your popper is higgeledy-piggledy. I'll hit it with a hammer and it should be good as new.
Alice: I was afraid it was the transmission again.
Years ago I saw the obituary for the man who invented this toy. Seems he was a highly accomplished inventor in a range of products. Wish I could remember his name, or at least the name of that toy.
Picking up on my earlier comment,… Someone told me the toy is called a “Corn Popper”, so I was able to find the inventor was named Ralph Crawford. However, I could not find much else about him in Google. That’s what happens when you die before the Internet got invented.
I would not have been able to save Alice and her popper, because my mother was continually confiscating my water pistols (and slingshots) for hardly any reason at all.

I hate it when things get “higgledy-puggledy” on you, so hard to diagnose!

Good thing Beni had a squirt gun nearby. If the antimatter matrix really blew, you’d have to do more than replace the dilithium.

Old Hippy, did it blow your mind to be the star of a Hollywood movie?

If the antimatter matrix blew, it would almost certainly take the transmission with it. At that point, you might as well just replace the whole thing.
