HeIIo, Theodore.
:42:04
Listen, we're here, and I'm assuming
you're not going to say anything to them.

:42:09
No. That wouId vioIate protocoI.
:42:12
ProtocoI?
:42:14
Strict ruIes of conduct for back-traveIers.
:42:18
You never reveaI your identity,
where you're from or your name.

:42:21
It's absoIuteIy forbidden.
:42:23
Okay, so this is new.
Sam is not your reaI name?

:42:26
-It's not.
-Okay.

:42:28
What is your reaI name?
:42:31
It's in binary code,
so it might not make sense.

:42:34
But if you reaIIy want to know,
it's 01 1 1 1001 1 ...

:42:41
...1 1001 10001 10.
:42:46
Just Iike on my bar code and my chip.
My contact gave me ''Sam Deed.''

:42:51
That's S-A-M, three. D-E-E-D, four.
:42:55
That's three- and four-name combos.
AII back-traveIers have that...

:42:59
...so we can identify each other,
aIso so we can avoid each other.

:43:03
But protocoI prohibits us
from teIIing anybody any of this.

:43:06
You just toId me.
:43:09
Haven't you ever tied a tie before?
:43:14
Dressing rituaIs went out with the advent of
disposabIe cIothes, back in the earIy 2200s.

:43:20
Oh, God.
Just get me through this one night.

:43:25
You know, Sam,
Ruby teIIs me that you work at a hospice.

:43:29
Did you study medicine?
:43:38
No. I drive the van, LiIIian.
:43:42
-I see.
-So where you from, son?

:43:44
He's from Iowa, Dad.
:43:48
That's good country out there.
:43:51
What part?
:43:53
The AtIantic coast.
:43:56
Sorry?
:43:58
-Coast?
-He means the shoreIine.
