-->'''Eagle Man:''' Have you ever seen an eagle flying back to his home with dinner for the missus and all the little eagle babies? And he's flying against the wind and he's flying in the rain and he's flying through bullets and all kinds of hell, and then right at that moment when he's about to get back to his nest, he says, "What the fuck, it's a drag being an eagle" and right then two little X's comes across his eyes just like in the old fashion cartoons. And he goes plunging down, and down and down and BAM. He's just a splatter of feathers and then we don't have the National Bird of America no more. Did you ever see that?\\
'''Alex:''' No.\\
'''Eagle Man:''' Me neither. The eagle's got too much self-respect for that.

* SimpleSolutionWontWork: As Alex Furlong is being told by his former representative what a "freejack" means (that Furlong was [[TimeTravelEscape kidnapped from the past]] by a rich person [[GrandTheftMe in order to upload their mind into his brain and continue living]]), Alex asks why the heck the rich people don't just take people off the street for that purpose, and Alex's friend shows him [[WrongSideOfTheTracks the slum]] they are now in and explains that [[CrapsackWorld the future world has been such a polluted mess and people have been using drugs for so long]] that it's virtually impossible to find someone healthy enough for the upload, so stealing people from the past is the only real option for this scheme.

As one of Alex's friends tells him while explaining the whole "freejack" thing, the reason why rich people pluck victims out of the past and not just nab someone in the present for their GrandTheftMe scheme is because ''everybody's'' bodies are too screwed up in 2009.
