- Officer Minogue: Do you know he's got a tattoo of Mum's back on his face now?
- Officer O'Leary: What? He's got a tattoo of your mum's back on his face?
- Officer Minogue: On his face.
- Officer O'Leary: Don't you mean the other way round?
- Officer Minogue: I wish I meant the other way round. That's what he wanted, but he's a terrible communicator.
- Sergeant Maaka: [Looking at monitor] This is bad news. I think we have, uh, less than a minute to go before it starts transmitting to mobile phones all over the city...
- IT Expert: That's not a live feed.
- Sergeant Maaka: Wh-? Really? What-?
- IT Expert: It's got, like, a minute delay.
- Sergeant Maaka: Well, that's even worse! That means there's no minutes!
- Officer Minogue: [Yelling at mini robot] Sir! Come down from there! Hey, that camera's stolen property - as is your entire body!
- Sergeant Maaka: So, I asked Ben here - could it be possible that the microchips in the cell phones, could they be communicating with each other and then combining to form more powerful supercomputers, all right, and those supercomputers, having interacted with human beings over along period of time, they've, effectively, studied us, and therefore, effectively, developed their own artificial intelligence, becoming fully self-aware? Mm.
- [Turns to Ben]
- Sergeant Maaka: Now tell them exactly what you said to me.
- IT Expert: Um, I said, 'Probably not.
- Officer Minogue: [old old starts moving on its own] O'Leary, your phone's vibrating. When was the last time you charged it?
- Officer O'Leary: Well, about 13 years ago.
- Officer Minogue: Aren't the batteries on those things unbelievable?
- Officer O'Leary: What should we say when we get there?
- Officer Minogue: 'Freeze!'
- Officer O'Leary: What? We're not American.
- Officer Minogue: Yeah, well, we could say, 'Freeze, please!'
- Officer O'Leary: Yeah, OK, that's better.
- Sergeant Maaka: Now, does anybody have any information pertaining to this case?
- [Minogue's hand goes up]
- Sergeant Maaka: Yes?
- Officer Minogue: My brother, Adam, vapes.
- Sergeant Maaka: And?
- Officer Minogue: Um, it's got an extremely invasive aroma. It's not very nice.
- Sergeant Maaka: Does that pertain to this case?
- Officer Minogue: [Whispers to O'Leary] Does it?
- Officer O'Leary: Um, well, indirectly.
- Officer Minogue: Very indirectly.
- Sergeant Maaka: I'd say very, very indirectly.
- Officer Minogue: It's practically unrelated?
- Sergeant Maaka: It's wasting police time.
- Officer O'Leary: Even though we are the police?
- Sergeant Maaka: Yeah. You're wasting your own time
- Sergeant Maaka: That is a mysterious mystery. Uh, it seems that the electronics have been combining as if they were magnetized. Is that probably possible?
