Jen: [Moss has a small plastic box with a flashing light] What is it?

Moss: This, Jen, is the Internet.

Jen: What?

Moss: That's right.

Jen: This is the Internet? The whole Internet?

Moss: Yep. I asked for a loan of it so that you could use it in your speech.

Jen: It's so small.

Moss: That's one of the surprising things about it.

Jen: Hang on, it doesn't have any wires or anything.

Moss: It's wireless.

Jen: Oh, yes, everything's wireless nowadays, isn't it... yeah. So, I can really use it in my speech? What if someone needs it?

Moss: Oh, no, no, people will still be able to go online and everything. It will still work.

Jen: Oh, good, good...

Moss: I tell you, you present this to the shareholders and you will get quite the response.

Jen: Can I touch it? It's so light!

Moss: Of course it is, Jen. The Internet doesn't weigh anything.

Jen: No, of course it doesn't.
[laughs nervously]

Roy: Hey! What is Jen doing with the Internet?

Jen: Moss said I could use it for my speech.

Roy: Are you insane? What if she drops it?

Jen: I won't drop it, I'll look after it.

Roy: No. No, no, no, no, Jen. No, this needs to go straight back to Big Ben.

Jen: Big Ben?

Moss: Yep. It goes on top of Big Ben. That's where you get the best reception.
