Jason requesting complex pancakes

Paige: Can you make my pancakes heart-shaped?
Roger: Not a problem!
Peter: Can you make my pancakes football-shaped?
Roger: You got it!
Jason: Can you make my pancakes heptagon-shaped and tile them on the plate in a Poincaré disk model of the hyperbolic plane? You can make as many as you want, by the way.
Peter: Wikipedia should thank you for all the traffic you send their way.
Roger: Jason, can you come hold my laptop while I pour the batter?

Just to over-explain the joke, the Poincaré disk model of the hyperbolichyperbolic plane with heptagonsheptagons looks like this:
  

Poincaré disk model of the hyperbolic plane with heptagons

When I read your description, it sounded very much like a Bill Amend joke, so I Googled foxtrot pancakes and it came up. Jason is not female, but his big hair could be mistaken for that.
