T-Rex: Silent films are crazy. They're crazy! The whole medium doesn't make any sense!
T-Rex: We're supposed to believe we figured out how to capture and replay VIDEO before nailing down sound??
T-Rex: SOUND IS THE LOW-HANGING FRUIT. If silent films didn't exist and someone invented them in a science fiction story, I would write the author an email with subject line "RE: Silent motion pictures" and message body "PUH-LEASE." But somehow they actually did exist in real life, so in conclusion, our timeline is totally ridiculous and embarrassing.
T-Rex: It's embarrassing! I'm embarrassed!
Utahraptor: But we did know how to record sound before we invented film!
T-Rex: Aw man! Then we're even dumber!!
T-Rex: Nobody thought to combine the two for over a DECADE? Shove a record player into a movie camera! PATENT PLEASE??
Utahraptor: The problem was amplification and getting the two in sync, not that nobody had thought to "cram one into the other."
T-Rex: ...Oh. That makes sense.
T-Rex: ATTENTION, HISTORY PEEPS: I'm sorry I just assumed I'm smarter than you since I'm from the present! I don't think we're THAT smart in the present, it's just -
T-Rex: Shoot, it's just 99.99999% of stupid things were done in the past is all
