You know what the best thing about this place is?

[The video angle tilts away from Miguel, across an apartment that looks like it could use some repair, then focuses on a tall cheeseburger sitting on a kitchen table that belongs in the 50s. Two thick burger patties, two slices of cheese each, strips of bacon, lettuce, tomato, and even a pickle

... Where are you from that hamburgers are illegal?

Earth. Keeping cattle for beef was outlawed a long time ago. Too much methane.

You're kidding. Earth in what year?

[all_three_wskrs]

I... can't remember the exact year of the legislation, but it was twenty twenty-two when I got yanked over here and it'd been outlawed for years.

Hello, Miguel. Why wouldn't it be legal?

Earth, in twenty twenty-two. Hey there, Miss Potts. It's good to see you.

There are some really good cheeseburgers around here. This is just the first one I've had... oh... ever? First one with real beef. My grandmother used to curse the lawmakers up down and sideways when we ended up getting beef substitute instead.
