Nothing to Watson here

I don’t have any tin cans yet.

Suddenly, the phone began to ring.

Great job, Thor. You’ve managed to destroy society before it even gets out of the gate. At least they can’t carry a tree around with them.

“We are calling about your car’s extended warranty”

That’s the Mae West model phone. There was only one Mae, by the way.

He’s invented the “phone” part. Now he needs to work on the “tele”.

Those bells on the bottom are suggestive. I’ve got a dirty mind.

If you’ve only just seen a “telephone” for the first time, how do you know about calling people?

The first time machine might have the same problem; it might only connect you with another time machine in the past or future.

You’d still only need one, but you’d have to wait a while before it’s of any significant use.

“Hello. Have I reached the number to whom I am speaking?”
