what year is this. and what is she doing? we've gone a long way back in time. she's talking on the phone. what, in that little compartment? yes. what's that snaky looking metal thing? that's the phone cord. it connects the receiver to the phone. why doesn't she just use her cell? she musta forgot it, right? she don't have one. they weren't invented yet. what? no cell phones? kind of shocking, isn't it? practically barbaric. how did the human race survive? just lucky, I guess. good thing we can return to our time. no shit. this is downright depressing. she's kinda cute though, for being so backward. she'll appreciate that sentiment, I'm sure.

sir! an enemy starship is closing on us fast! shields up! prepare to go to warp drive! yes, sir! ah, sir? what is it? I think I left my warp drive code book in my locker, sir! what?! you need a code book? it has pictures, and. . . things. sir! don't you just hit a button, and all the stars fly past us? that's only on TV, sir. TV? in fact, stars are light years apart from each other. to have them whizzing past every few seconds would incorrectly imply that they are very close together. I'll be damned. yes sir. by the way, that sound you heard was our shield being destroyed. the outer shell's breached. shit. so, what now, sir? now? right now I could use a stiff drink. me too. shall I make it a double? sounds good. yes, sir.
