Frank Walker: Are they on?
Casey Newton: Yep, so introduce yourself.
Frank Walker: Okay. Hey, I'm Frank, how you doing? Don't answer that, that's rhetorical. Okay, let's get you up to speed... this is a story about the future, and the future can be scary...
Casey Newton: [Casey interrupts and the scene pauses for a moment] Mmm...
Frank Walker: What?
Casey Newton: You sure you want to go with scary?
Frank Walker: Yes I want to go with scary.

Casey Newton: [interrupts again] ... and scientific breakthroughs, wonder and beauty...
Frank Walker: Could you please just stop interrupting?
Casey Newton: I will, just try to be more upbeat.
Frank Walker: Upbeat? I can't tell them anything if you keep interrupting me.
Casey Newton: You're right, sorry.
Frank Walker: As I was saying... with every second that ticks by, we get closer and closer...

Frank Walker: I can't tell them anything until I tell them about this.
Casey Newton: Then can we please just start somewhere else?
Frank Walker: Fine where would you like me to start?
Casey Newton: Well you keep saying the future wasn't always this way, right?
Frank Walker: It wasn't... when I was a kid, the future was...
Casey Newton: Different, right?
Frank Walker: Right.
Casey Newton: Okay cool, then start there.
