Yes, he knows how to hold an old rotary phone….

That is when he's not falling into the phone, in some kind of dreaming state, the cord unravelling like strands of DNA….

And a rather Bill-And-Teddish phone booth. The Superman identity change parallel is a nice touch.

Looks like the choice for who you can dial in is affecting everyone on the list…

A little bit foetal perhaps?

Doesn't even need to be told how… what American youth is this? Which decade are they from?
