    • At the time of broadcast, the Beta videotape format was still actively used in Japan. However, in 2002, the last Beta videotape was produced. Faye would have been 8 years old using a soon-to-be obsolete recording method.
    • The shot of the "Old Asia" map is of Japan but upside down so South is on top, and North is on bottom. Some of the locations are hand written in to be readable on this map. On the right are South and North Korea. The pink ballooned caption in the middle reads: *Electric Museum Tokyo Corner *Tokyo Japan Akihabara Sinoba Building *2*

    • (Faye is on the phone with Ed.) Faye: Did any visitors show up looking for me? Ed: Visitors? Faye: I mean like scary guys who scream stuff like "Give me back my money!" or "You're under arrest!" Ed: Mmm, there was one. Faye: Huh? What did he say? Ed: Something like "pay me back, get even, tape, munch-munch, grind-grind, bye-bye! (giggles) Faye: Huh? Oh, right. Oh well.
    • Faye: A collection from the Life Extension Agency? Or else...no, could it be...awww, there's just too many people who want a piece of me! Time for Faye's famous disappearing act.
    • Faye (on the video tape): Good morning, me. Did you sleep well? Did you wake up feeling good? Did the light, and the wind, and the smell, and the sound, all seem like they're brand new and fresh this morning? Is each and every cell in your whole body awake and alive now? Today, you are who you are today. See? You're still me, but you're a newer version. (scene changes) Myself ten years from now. It's so far away; it's almost impossible to imagine. Am I alone or is there a wonderful person next to me? Knowing me I'm sure you're causing all kinds of trouble for lots of different people. I'm sorry, I don't mean to, but it's all right. That's part of life too isn't it? You're not perfect but you've got a lot to give, so remember: I'll always be cheering you on.
    • (Jet is telling Ed a story.) Jet: The days passed and before he knew it, the time came to go back. And as a keepsake, he was given the Tamatebako. Ed: Tamatebako, is that scrumptious too? Jet: No, it's not food. It's a big chest with treasure inside. Spike: I haven't seen any treasure in a long time either. Jet: You two are so clueless, it's pitiful. This is an ancient fantasy; it's a folk tale. Ed: Tamatebako's the turtle? Jet: Where did you get that idea? (Ed points upwards as a delivery service lowers a turtle.)
