Heidi and Adil are inside the suicide booth.
Heidi: It is about time, let's go. Such unresponsive touchscreen… I need to punch it.
Voice: Duo option selected. For $50 extra, you can both have your eyes scooped out with a melon baller.
Adil: Ugh… luckily we can't even afford that!

Steve is down in the subway station.
Steve: No safety guards whatsoever… As if they want people to jump in front of trains. Strange, but in this case, convenient. Next train is coming… here I go.

Alana and Max are at a balcony at the top of a high rise building.
Alana: No guard rails, nothing. This future seems to consider safety very overrated.
Max: It's 11:29. I hope this jump does provide some “fun” before we get virtually splattered.

Zhang has received his 2 buckets of toxic “tea.”
Zhang: I am served something that will obviously kill me, yet no advance payment required… people in this future truly are not bright.
