Episode Quotes
 
Albert Brock: "In touch." I hate that phrase. Ripped, mauled, pounded by FM voices is more like it. I mean, there's literally no place where a person can go anymore to find some peace. Not the bathroom, not even your own car.
 
Albert Brock: I bought a chocolate milk shake and poured it into my fax machine.
Dr. Arnold Fellows: Is there any special reason why you chose a chocolate milk shake?
Albert Brock: It's my favorite flavor.
 
 
Analysis
 
Changes from the short story:

* "The psychiatrist" in the story is given a name, Dr. Fellows.
* The idea of "lapel phones" is introduced in the episode.
* At the end of the short story, the psychiatrist simply goes on his way, seemingly unaccustomed to the noise. In the episode, he becomes Brock's first convert.
