Dude: Oh...okay...well I'm miserable now. What can it hurt?

Dude: It's our pleasure. Please be advised that at the age of 18 in your new model you will receive a customer service call, so we can learn how to better serve you. Thank you for your time. Have a nice life.

Angel snaps the phone closed. He disappears.
