You can tell this is America. In a crisis they serve hot coffee and doughnuts. In thiz country it would be lukewarm weak tea and curled up butties.

I think you mean with the winners.

Anyway, it can't have been a proper EMP because the car still worked and the radio came on. Presumably some sort of dastardly space-EMP.

The minute he realised he was holding an actual woman. Maybe the first time (he's a scientist after all). Might be different if he takes the glasses off.
