Edgar: Hi. It's me again.
Dr. Ruth Westheimer: Oh, hello Me! I was wondering if you would call. What's on your mind?
Edgar: Well, Doctor, it's really the same question: I want to know what love is.
Dr. Ruth Westheimer: Didn't you ask me that last week?
Edgar: Yes, but I need to know what it *feels* like. Now.
Dr. Ruth Westheimer: OK, let me try again.

this, the line "ELECTRIC DREAMS FINISHED" appears in green at the upper
left corner. The question mark is replaced by the line "no more?" Then the
green text is replaced by "TIME TO DISCONNECT". Both then disappear, and
multicolored letters appear near the center of the screen reading "THE
NED". The "N" is quickly deleted, the "E" moved over, and the "N" is
reinserted to properly spell "THE END". As this disappears, Edgar's voice
is heard laughing, and he says "H-hello? Hello? Good-goodbye." See more »

Trivia
In the dream musical sequence, Edgar the computer dreams of electric sheep jumping an electric fence, whilst Miles dozes off to sleep. The scene is quite likely inspired by author Philip K. Dick's (1968) science fiction novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" Dick's stories typically focus on the fragile nature of what is real and the construction of personal identity. This is borne out by Miles', "I'm not what I seem to be". See more »Goofs
Crew or equipment visible: In the final sequence where the theme song "Together In Electric Dreams" is being played, a person carrying a 80's boom box styled Hi-Fi walks past, in the reflection of the tape deck of the Hi-Fi the crew and equipment are visible. See more »Quotes
