Transcript
[Megan is standing next to Cueball, who is holding a phone or a note in his hand. Each one has a suitcase on the out-facing side of them.]
Cueball: Okay, I need to remember that the room code is 020518.
[Closeup on Megan who has her palm raised.]
Megan: Easy -- just memorize it as "the first three prime numbers, if you realized you couldn't remember what came after 2 and started to panic and get them increasingly wrong."
[Beat panel of Megan and Cueball standing with no border.]
[Megan and Cueball still standing.]
Megan: ...Are you mad because that actually works?
Cueball: Why is memory like this?
