Transcript:
Phoebe: I've had this phone almost a year. When I first got it, I had an awesome phone, and Dakota had an older, not-awesome phone. Now, MY phone is old, and Dakota has a NEW phone. Mom and Dad won't get me a new phone, because this one works as well as ever. So if I'd waited until now to ask for a phone, I'd have had to walk around for a year with NO phone. There's no perfect time. It's like you have to borrow from the future. I'm glad unicorns don't ever need upgrades. Marigold: We are as up as it is possible to be graded!

Could the fact that this is a rerun be interpreted as meta-humor?

That’s just the thing with modernity. People will always be brainwashed into believing they need all the new stuff. I’ve had the same phone for almost a decade and it worked just fine… until my parents insisted on getting me a new, modern one for my birthday. Either way, I did save them tons of money by keeping the same phone for a long time. At least Phoebe is lucky. She has a unicorn. Not even Dakota can top that.

I got my first cell phone when my wife up graded to one of the first I-phones. Mine was a flip phone that was basically a small brick. She had it for five years, I had it for just short of ten. It was working fine but the infrastructure had been upgraded and service was getting very thin.

I know the feeling. The new laptop we got yesterday is already making intellectual creaking noises.
