:11:04
I can't believe this.
:11:06
My doctor said I'd be up
and on my feet in five days.

:11:10
He was off by 199 years.
:11:12
I know it's hard, Miles, but try
to think of this as a miracle of science.

:11:16
To me, a miracle is I go in
for a minor operation,

:11:19
I come out the next day,
my rent isn't 2,000 months overdue.

:11:23
That's a miracle of science.
This is what I call a cosmic screwing.

:11:27
And where am I, anyhow? What happened
to everybody? Where are all my friends?

:11:32
Understand that everyone you knew in
the past has been dead nearly 200 years.

:11:36
But they all ate organic rice.
:11:38
You are now in the year 21 73.
:11:41
This is the central parallel
of the American Federation.

:11:45
This district is what you'd probably call
the southwestern United States.

:11:49
That was before
it was destroyed by the war.

:11:52
- War?
- Yes. Over a hundred years ago,

:11:55
a man named Albert Shanker
got a hold of a nuclear warhead.

:11:58
You will remain in hiding here
for two weeks while we run tests on you.

:12:02
Then, when you've recovered
your strength, we'll discuss the plan.

:12:06
I still can't believe this.
:12:09
What do you mean "hiding"? Who am I
hiding from? What does she mean?

:12:13
You might as well know, Miles,
that reviving you as we did

:12:17
was in strict opposition
to government policy.

:12:20
What we've done is illegal.
:12:22
If we get caught,
we'll be destroyed... along with you.

:12:25
What do you mean "destroyed"?
:12:27
Your brain will be
electronically simplified.

:12:30
My brain?
It's my second-favourite organ.

:12:33
Resisters to mind-reprogramming will be
exterminated for the good of the state.

:12:37
What kind of government you guys got?
This is worse than California.

:12:41
There is a growing underground, Miles.
:12:44
Someday the revolution will come
and we can overthrow our leader.

:12:48
You gotta be kidding.
I wanna go back to sleep.

:12:50
If I don't get at least 600 years,
I'm grouchy all day.

:12:53
We're taking him along too fast.
He's still emotionally unstable.

:12:57
I go in for a lousy ulcer operation,
I lay in a Birds Eye wrapper for 200 years,
