Are we gonna do this or what?

A merger of this size, you understand, with government oversight, our shareholders are a bit skittish, to put it mildly, and they just want to make sure that everything is perfect.

Yes, good luck with that.

Like a tree growing branches, and-and each branch is, like, an alternate timeline.

DAVID: So right now, you're in class, listening to me drone on and on about-about physics, right?

[LAUGHS]

But in another timeline, y-you skipped school.

Misunderstanding and the inability to communicate, but I know what's in the heart of every man, woman and child on this Earth.

Gone is the confusion, the division.
