The Complexity of Love and Understanding
Cara

Dan
Infatuation is not love. Sexual attraction is not love.
Cara
you don't understand.
Dan
Ah, I don't understand.
Cara
You don't even understand that you don't understand!
Dan
What don't I understand, Cara? Please, help me out. What is it? Is it frustrating that you can't be with this person? That there's something keeping you apart, that there's something about this person that you really connect with? And when you're near this person, you don't know what to say, and you say everything in your mind and in your heart, and you know, that if you could just be together, that this person would help you become the best possible version of yourself?
Cara

Signal Boosting Explained
Casey Newton
You were pirating the signal. How?
Frank Walker
What?
Casey Newton
At your house, all your TVs, your "Doomsday room" — you were boosting the feed from that monitor thing. How did you do that?
Frank Walker
No big deal, they're running so much power through it now a HAM radio could pick it up — it's just a matter of finding the right frequency.
Casey Newton
You grabbed a signal from another dimension, from a machine here — that means it's transmitting there. What if its not just predicting the future …
Frank Walker
… It's broadcasting it.
Casey Newton
When I touched this thing, for a few minutes, it felt like anything was possible. So why can't the opposite happen? What if the monitor is just a giant pin, but instead of making you think positive? It makes you think negative, and it — it's convincing the whole world to feed the ] wolf. We need to turn that thing off.
