[Megan and Cueball talking in a kitchen, with Megan holding a can.]

Megan: These beans expired in 2010! That's... let's see... 24.3! New personal best!

Cueball: You're never going to beat your mom's jar of pickles from 1978.

Megan: Maybe there are more cans in there. Remind me not to look until 2030.

Cueball: This is the worst competition.
