[Max is listening to Huey Lewis while playing with miniature robots and watching a screen showing the very basics of humans kissing and making love]

Dr. Daniel:
[over the intercom] Max.

[Max switches from the video to the scanners]

Dr. Daniel:
Max?

Max 404:
Yes, Dr. Daniel?

Dr. Daniel:
Max, what is that noise?

[Max turns off the music]

Max 404:
I was doing some research, Sir.

Dr. Daniel:
On what?

Max 404:
[sounding a bit panicky] Earth. The twentieth century.

Dr. Daniel:
Have you logged in, Max?

Max 404:
Uh... no... but, I was...

Dr. Daniel:
Then do it now, Max, and make sure we have shut down for the night.

Max 404:
Yes, Sir.

Dr. Daniel:
I don't want to be disturbed.

Max 404:
Good night, Dr. Daniel.

Dr. Daniel:
Good night, Max.

Max 404:
Oh, and Doctor?

["Blip" sound. No answer. Max sighs before logging in]

Max 404:
Fifteen October, 2036, 0100 hour log-in. As usual... there's nothing to report. Radar reveals a Hermes CP-247... passing... as usual. And that's it.

Max 404:
[dispiritedly] This is Max, signing out.
