| #151 - Lawyers | Geek 1: Oh, cool! Watch what happens when I do this....

| #152 - EULA Blues | Zanthorian Coprolite 2: A Rights Management Software violation was reported from this location. I'm here to seize all prohibited items. Is that your media player?

| #153 - Strong Suit | Dr. Eldritch: You two came here to confiscate a robot, just because he isn't an AUTHORIZED DEVICE?

| #154 - Sob Story | Coprolite 1: You think illegal file sharing doesn't hurt people?

| #156 - Reboot | Geek 1: There, that should do it.

| #158 - Learned Anything? | Dr. Eldritch: Trevor just wanted to play some music.

| #159 - Ed & Kari | Ed: I must be leaving soon, but I wanted to say that it's a pleasure to meet you.
