Two passengers, John and Buddy, drifted by, boxed into their chairs with speakers on either side of their heads and holo-graphic screens in front of their faces. They could easily have spoken to each other directly ... if they had had the motivation and ability to turn their heads and push aside the electronics surrounding them. Instead, they were isolated in the midst of a crowd of humanity, not even caring or knowing that they were right next to each other. WALL · E tried to follow and understand what they were saying. “So what do you wanna do?” “I don’t know. What do you wanna do?”

两名乘客——约翰和巴迪——飘了过去，他们团在椅子里，头的两侧是扬声器，面前是全息影像屏。他们本可以轻易地直接面对面说话……如果他们有动力和能力转过他们的脑袋，推开包围着他们的电子设备的话。然而，他们在拥挤的人群中远离他人，既不在意也不知道他们相互紧邻。瓦力试图跟着他们弄懂他们在说什么。“那么，你想做什么呢？”“我不知道。你想做什么？”
