“What's the big deal with Bejamin Frankin, anyway? I mean, so the guy invented electricity or whatever. That was hundreds of years ago."
He didn't invent electricity," Amy said, trying not to sound too annoyed."He discovered that lightning was the same stuff as electicity. He invented lightning rods to protect buildings and experimented with batteries and-"
I do that. Have you ever put one on your tounge?”

“Electricity," Purva said, rolling the strange new word around in her mouth, giving it at once an Australian and a French inflection.
"Sir William was playing around with it when we met, do you remember?" Jack said to Clare. "He was storing charges in boxes."
"I remember he was blowing things up," Clare replied.
"Six of one..." Jack grinned. "Nobody really knows how it works, but down here it powers most of the lights in the big cities and parts of the automobiles and the stoves in the train kitchen. You can store the power in blocks, then hook it up to anything you might otherwise run on a boiler. It's cooler, and the blocks last longer than coal. I think I can reproduce it when we get home, if I can take enough schematics with me."
"He is going to kill himself," Purva said, but her tone was casual, not overly worried.
"I'm not going to kill myself," Jack answered, equally casual. "Just because it can cause your heart to stop doesn't mean it always does.”

“They buried him in dirt that smelled like broken batteries, and crouched in a fiberglass shed while the acid rain poured down to dissolve his flesh and bleach his bones.”

“If we were going to determine what was broken in the radios, we needed a power source. With no electricity, this meant batteries. [...] we'd walk to the trading center and look for used cells that had been tossed in the waste bins. [...]
First we'd test the battery to see if any juice was left in it. We'd attach two wires to the positive and negative ends and connect them to a torch bulb. The brighter the bulb, the stronger the battery. Next we'd flatten the Shake Shake carton and roll it into a tube, then stack the batteries inside, making sure the positives and negatives faced in the same direction. Then we'd run wires from each end of the stack to the positive and negative heads inside the radio, where the batteries normally go. Together, this stack of dead batteries usually contained enough juice to power a radio.”

“Hey, brah,鈥� Quinn said.
鈥淲hat is going on, do you know?鈥� Sam asked.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a club.鈥� Quinn grinned. 鈥淢an, you must be working too hard. Everyone knows about it.鈥�
Sam stared at him. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a what?鈥�
鈥淢cClub, brah. All you need is some batteries or some toilet paper.鈥�
This announcement left Sam baffled. He considered asking Quinn for clarification, but then Albert appeared, formally dressed, like he thought it was graduation or something. He actually had on a dark sports coat and slacks in a lighter shade. His shirt was pale blue, collared, and ironed. Spotting Sam, he extended his hand.
Sam ignored the hand. 鈥淎lbert, what is going on here?鈥�
鈥淒ancing, mostly,鈥� Albert said.
鈥淓xcuse me?鈥�
鈥淜ids are dancing.鈥�
Quinn caught up then and stepped in front of Sam to shake Albert鈥檚 still-extended hand. 鈥淗ey, dude. I have batteries.鈥�
鈥淕ood to see you, Quinn. The price is four D cells, or eight double As, or ten triple As, or a dozen Cs. If you have a mix, I can work it out.鈥�
Quinn dug in his pocket and produced four triple A batteries and three D cells. He handed them to Albert, who agreed to the price and dropped the batteries into a plastic bag at his feet.
鈥淥kay, the rules are no food, no alcohol, no attitude, no fights, and when I call 鈥榯ime,鈥� there鈥檚 no arguing about it. Do you agree to these rules?鈥�
鈥淒ude, if I had any food, would I be here? I鈥檇 be home eating it.鈥� Quinn put his hand over his heart like he was pledging allegiance to the flag and said, 鈥淚 do.鈥� He jerked a thumb back at Sam. 鈥淒on鈥檛 bother with him: Sam doesn鈥檛 dance.鈥�
鈥淗ave a good time, Quinn.”
