T-Rex: If not now, when? If not me, who?
T-Rex: As you can see, there's no excuse for waiting. It's time for me to take charge in...

Narrator: MODERNIZING DATED IDIOMS

T-Rex: "Penny for your thoughts" is a great candidate here, because we don't even HAVE pennies anymore.
Dromiceiomimus: "Quarter for your thoughts"?
T-Rex: Yes! And we MUST peg this idiom to inflation moving forward, rounded to the nearest single unit of currency!!

Utahraptor: But "dime a dozen" still works, because there, inflation has only made the idiom MORE POWERFUL.
T-Rex: True!

T-Rex: Finally, "miss the boat" worked a treat when boats were the primary way of traversing oceans, but that's planes now. But "miss the plane" will face the same issue when we're all riding around in supersonic hovercraft, so let's future-proof this one with "miss the supersonic hovercraft."

Off panel: It really just rolls off the tongue.
T-Rex: It will!
T-Rex: In the year 20XX it will!!
