Employee: Can you.. can you do that?
Parker: Oh, sure. If we had a time machine, and set it back to 1998! [ laughs ]
Employee: [ faux laughs ] Can you please just help me? It just frozeup. I need an e-mail – it’s very important, it’s for a report that I’mdoing today.
Nick Burns: Did you make a back-up file?
Employee: No.
Nick Burns: Never do. Just leave it here – we’ll do some carbon-dating on it!
Employee: I don’t like you guys. [ exits ]
Rhonda: Wow.. if we need any replacement parts, we’ll use anAtari 2600!
Nick Burns: That’s a good one, Rhonda!
Rhonda: You know what irks me? Those buffoons never back-up their files.
Parker: Oh, I don’t have to worry about that. I set up my Retrospectremote to back-up my hard drive every Sunday at 3 a.m.
Nick Burns: [ laughing ] Retrospect only works with your documents,not your third-party software!
Rhonda: Say goodbye to your system resources! [ laughs ]
Parker: Well, hey.. can you guys cover for me? I better go homeand back that stuff up. Are you gonna be on-line later?

Rhonda: You know, that worm probably lives in his mom’s basement!
Nick Burns: [ nervous ] Hey, cut the guy some slack. Rent’s high. Rent’s high.Rent’s high.
Rhonda: Nick, I know that you live with your mom.. but I like you..and I also like the way you make fun of people who know less than you doabout computers. I think it’s.. sexy.
Nick Burns: You do? I was thinking, maybe you could come over to myMom’s crib later on.. we could play Playstation 2, or something.. look atsome games..

Nick Burns: Me, too..
[ she leans up to kiss him, both of them trembling, then she steps away ]
