I'm gonna go check the phone.

Sir,you have a phone call on your private line.

We could pump right through the phone.

To someone's telephone network.

Phone lines in all areas have been flooded in.

So you were forwarding on. You didn't have control.

I've just been forwarded a scrambled call.

Since then, not that much has changed.

OK, I want telecom, transportation...

Phones are all dead.

Craigslist went black.

Charles, I haven't had a phone in ages.

No, it's the network that's dead.

I made a few calls for you.

I'll bet they're making phone contacts with the lab computer.

Call came in on the dedicated uplink.

The lines are crossed.

It says, I tried calling you four times.

The killer app that got the world ready for appliances was the light bulb.

That must be the policewoman in the bedroom.

Look. The telephone cord has been cut.

Then he cut the cord.

DN Let's clear things up a little bit.

Come on. I left you, like, 15 messages.

We've had multiple calls from this guy.

Relax. It's probably Bob.

Linc, go call him.

Well, can't you reach him by phone?

That must be the policewoman in the bedroom.

There's a call coming from inside the building.

Our modern, efficient switchboard probably cut you off.

And as a result of Voice Over IP

Its really easy to use, insert the cartridge, connect the cable then turn the power on

Repatch the main AC to the hard drives and stand by to broadcast.

So the light bulb is what wired the world.

When you're 21, it's a drunk boyfriend call.

I'll put you through to the president.

Mmhmm. Mr. Xing called. Twice.

When you're 15, it's a prank call.

Not thirty.

Doc cuts the telephone lines five minutes before.

Because, remember, the Web got to stand on top of all this heavy infrastructure that had been put in place because of the long distance phone network.

Run all calls through here with an ISO on room 117.

I'll call you as soon as I secure a vehicle.

Can I make an outside call by this phone?
