540. NEWELL / Quit PICKING on me! / AMELIA / Whoah! You floored that guy with one punch! / NEWELL / Y-yeah. ...I guess I did. / HUGE / HAHAHAHAHA The twerp tried to punch me! OHOHOHOHO
541. NEWELL / Everything's clicking! I can't even remember why Amelia and I broke up anymore! / NIC / That's a side effect of being in the past. Gradually you lose your memories. / NEWELL / Why didn't you mention this?! / NIC / I... Uh... / NEWELL / Forgot?
542. NEWELL / Amelia and I were destined to get together. / NEWELL / Does that mean we're also doomed to break up? / NEWELL / What good is living in the past if you can't CHANGE anything? / NEWELL / Maybe I can't change the FUTURE, either... / NEWELL / Guess I just have to enjoy it while it lasts. / AMELIA / Newell, we have to break up. / NEWELL / (...Huh?)
543. NEWELL / At least I'm more likely to help other people when I can't help myself. / NEWELL / How's it going, Harriet? / HARRIET / I shouldn't laugh about it, but there's this Republican guy who's about to get beat up! / Where are you taking me? I could have handled those ruffians! / Yes, of course. That's why I'm saving them from you. / NEWELL / REMEMBER THAT DARK-HAIRED GUY. And introduce him to Bizzy someday. / HARRIET / How come? / NEWELL / THE FUTURE MAY DEPEND ON IT.
544. NEWELL / How will I know if I've caused a fork in the timeline? / NIC / You may NEVER know. / An alternate reality... / BIZZY / I'm ludicrously happy! / I'm so glad your friend introduced us! / Our familiar reality... / BIZZY / Ever get the feeling that you're happy in some parallel universe? / HARRIET / How does that make you feel? / BIZZY / Fragmented. And a little jealous. / HARRIET / Is it POSSIBLE to feel jealous of YOURSELF? / BIZZY / I think it's called... PRIDE.
 
545. JUNE / I'll be back in a couple minutes! / JUNE / Hey! Who you texting? / CHAZ / Uh... / JUNE / Chaz, your phone is off. / CHAZ / Well, it'd be EMBARRASSING to sit here doing nothing!
546. CHAZ / (I'm surprised Michael hasn't called yet.) / CHAZ / (Say, where's my phone?)
547. MICHAEL / What's going on, Chaz? / CHAZ / I baked my phone. I know it was time to replace it anyway, but... the memories... / MISSY (OS) / Chaz? Are you still listening? / MISSY (OS) / ... / MICHAEL / Did any of that actually happen? / CHAZ / Just the bathtub part...
548. MICHAEL / I'm GLAD your phone died. How often do we get to hang out, two guys, no interruptions? / CHAZ / I need to get a new phone right away!
549. MICHAEL / You got a spare? / CHAZ / Yes, but I don't have a jack. / MICHAEL / You could call Triple-A. / CHAZ / My phone is fried, remember? / MICHAEL / On your landline, I mean. / CHAZ / Who has a LANDLINE anymore? / MICHAEL / We'd have made lousy pilgrims.
 
550. Weren't you EMBARRASSED? I would have been! You never learn! / No, YOU listen to me! I could ruin you so fast... / MICHAEL / I HATE this century - everyone's private business is public now. WHO WANTS TO BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION LIKE THAT?
551. CHAZ / Do these things even work anymore? / MICHAEL / So now phone booth users are some INVISIBLE MINORITY? It's not just transients who are using them. There's a certain romance to it, like a train depot. / MICHAEL / This old booth gets more use than you'd think!
552. MICHAEL / See what you're missing out on? Digits written on an actual napkin! / CHAZ / I'm missing out 'cause I'm in a long-distance relationship? / MICHAEL / No, it's because of cell phones! This number here is written in a cute girl's handwriting. It's TANGIBLE, it's PHYSICAL.
553. MICHAEL / Sorry, I can't go in with you. / CHAZ / Okay, do you mind waiting out here? / MICHAEL / alone? / MICHAEL / ZOMBIES!
554. Which way did that crazy guy with the torch go? / THORNTON / I'll find him using the GPS in his mobile! / THORNTON / He's... OFF THE GRID!! / MICHAEL / Your technology is USELESS! / SAMANTHA / Michael, do you STILL not have a cell phone? / MICHAEL / It's like my superpower, I guess!
 
555. SAMANTHA / That's funny that I run into my ex-boyfriend hiding in an alley from an angry mob! / MICHAEL / (She called me her ex-boyfriend!) / MICHAEL / (And this is the closest to proud I can feel anymore...)
556. SAMANTHA / You know, there are a lot of other people like you out there, Michael... / MICHAEL / There are other people who weep uncontrollably after three hard lemonades? / SAMANTHA / I meant people who don't have cell phones. / MICHAEL / Oh. Yes. Of course.
557. SAMANTHA / See, Michael, there are other people living happily without cell phones! / Nice to meet you! / Did you know that radiation from cell phones KILLS BEES? / There's no research to support that claim! / There's no research to support your stupid beard, either! / Remarkable that these people haven't changed the world yet.
558. MICHAEL / I love this - It's a haven from technology! / MICHAEL / When did we decide to become accountable 24/7? Why would we choose to be IMPRISONED by our phones? / MICHAEL / They're called "cells" for a reason, people! / SAMANTHA / You're a better speaker than I remember! / MICHAEL / Yeah. I, um, err, ahh, buh, er... am.
559. Michael, we think you'd be a great spokesman for us. / MICHAEL / Really? I'd be honored! / You'll be the face of CITIZENS AGAINST CELLULAR ABUSE, or "CACA". / MICHAEL / Can we change the name? / No.
 
560. MICHAEL / I think Samantha and I are really reconnecting! / CHAZ / Wait, who? Sorry, I can't keep your ex-girlfriends straight. / MICHAEL / I have the same problem. / JUNE / Hey, Michael!
561. MICHAEL / Sign this petition to designate certain restaurants as "No Cell Phone" zones? / What are you TALKING about? / MICHAEL / Remember SMOKING in restaurants? Hard to imagine why we used to tolerate it. Are disrespectful phone calls any different? / You know, you have a point... / CHAZ / You're smarter than you look, Michael! / MICHAEL / Thanks! / MICHAEL / I look at least moderately smart, right?
562. You know what Vegas is missing? A GERMAN-THEMED casino! / MICHAEL / I represent CITIZENS AGAINST CELLULAR ABUSE! / I smell an ad campaign! You disapprove of cell phones until you try our 2011 model! / MICHAEL / NO! You will not buy me off! / We'd call it "Kaiser's Palace".
563. MICHAEL / My fellow cell phone agnostics... / MICHAEL / A prominent company recently asked me to endorse their cell phone. / MICHAEL / But I told them I wouldn't CELL out. / MICHAEL / Because I'm no hypocrite!
564. SAMANTHA / So you got deposed because your monkey was caught with a cell phone? / SAMANTHA / I want you to know that I'm still here for you. / SAMANTHA / Are you okay? / MICHAEL / I think a gopher has grabbed hold of my nose!
 
565. CHAZ / So what's new with you? / MICHAEL / I got kicked out of the group, but Samantha still seems to like me. / MICHAEL / So I guess she'll be my ex-ex-girlfriend now. But is she just being nice because she feels sorry for me? / CHAZ / Ooh... 326 dots per inch... / MICHAEL / Yeah, I thought so...
566. Epilogue: Emotional Intelligence of Conversations by Distance / 500 miles away / CHAZ / You're not my reason to live, Missy, you're my reason to live BETTER. / 70 miles away / CHAZ / I always listen to your advice, Dad, even when I don't follow it. / 4 miles away / CHAZ / You tell him to respect your privacy, girl! / 3 feet away / CHAZ / Umm... Samm-wich? / MICHAEL / Uhh... Yeah.
567. SOS / NEWELL / You MORON! You made it upside down!
568. I'm getting really tired of all the ukuleles. Everybody brings 'em to school, and half the kids don't even play 'em! / I know! It's all I hear about: ukes, ukes, ukes! / HARRIET / I'm more out-of-it than I thought!
569. HARRIET / How's it going, Newell? / NEWELL / I just got back from the past. / HARRIET / Ooh. Did you do anything to change the past? / NEWELL / I did not. / HARRIET / You didn't want to cause a paradox that would result in your own demise? / NEWELL / In a way. My past mistakes are the core of my identity, and skipping those would leave me incomplete? / HARRIET / So should I tell you your fly's open?
