Excited Guy: I'm on my new iPhone. You're the first person I've talked to!
[He listens.]
My new iPhone!
[He listens.]
Yeah, the 4S.
[He listens.]
The 4S!
[He listens.]
It's new! An iPhone 4S! You're the first person I've talked to. Everybody else — I don't know what the problem is. The connections haven't worked. So you're the first.
[He listens.]
I didn't either. Then I was in the store, and I thought, What the hell? I wanted to try the face to face.
[He listens.]
The face-to-face!
[He listens.]
It's a thing on iPhones! We can look at each other!
[He listens.]
No, you have to have one, too!
[He listens.]
That's what sucks about being the first! I got nobody to face-to-face with, and then everybody I call has a shitty connection, anyway!
[He listens.]
No, it's your end. I've got Sprint and an iPhone. I'm set. The rest of you better catch up.
[He listens.]
I said, "The rest of you better catch up!"
