Cyrus Borg, Acronix and others in “Unfinished Business”

Cyrus Borg

[on television] The wait is over! The future has arrived! The BorgWatch. Launching today.

[watching] Incredible. A wall-mounted window for display thirty-second dramas!

[turns the TV off] Those dramas are called commercials. Cynical films playing off of consumers' insecurities to convince them to purchase that which they do not need.

So cool. I am jealous, brother. You got to experience the last forty years of progress. Hot beverages at the touch of a button, a beadless abacus, instant communication.

Worthless, all of it. [sighs] I absolutely despise modern life.

But it's filled with wondrous things we couldn't have even conceived of forty years ago! [holds up a BorgPad] Like this amazing thing.

A BorgPad. Vile contraption!

I got it at the museum gift shop. A piece of glass that performs music… [plays music on the BorgPad]

Ninja, go! Ninja, go! Come on, come on…

[simultaneously] …creates a permanent visual record of any event. [takes a photo of Krux] There's even games!

I hate those infernal devices most of all! Everyone perpetually plugged in, distracted like infants by bright lights and sound.

[distracted by his game] Yes! Smashed all the candy!
