Jessica: Beats me. I want to know why people in the 1980's dress so weird? Look at these. (indicate leg warmers) They’re called Leg Warmers. Why were people’s legs so cold in the 1980's?
Piper: Come on guys, stop whining. I’m going to the future and nobody knows the future. Who knows what I’ll find. Maybe there are no people in the 2050's. Maybe everyone is a robot. . . . . . "
