[Danny is having lunch with his kids Charlie and Grace, who is pouting because Danny banned all electronics.]
I don't understand, what's so good about your phone that you'd rather sit staring at your phone than having these moments with us? This is a father-daughter moment. We should cherish this.
Well, that's why I need it-- to Instagram the moment and preserve the memory.
Oh, preser–– See, 'cause, listen, when I was a kid, I didn't even have a phone, and despite this handicap, I still have vivid memories. You know, the brain does a lot of very interesting things. You know, remembering stuff is one of the things it does. You should give it a shot sometime.
Moani Rose says if it's not Instagrammed, how do you know if it happened?
Huh. Is this Moani, uh, a philosopher?
No, she's in my jazz tap class.
I see. [looks at Charlie resignedly] Charlie, I got to tell you, this entire generation-- the phone is everything. They-they sit at a restaurant, they stare at their phone. They go to a movie theater, they stare at their phone. You know, if you picked your head up out of your phone every once in a while, you might see a much bigger, better picture out here in the world.
