Did anyone catch in Exit that when Eugene called...there was a "beep...beep...beep" going on in the background? Shock

Yea, it kinda sounded like the beeps for the heart monitors or at a construction site( am I going overboard?)!!! Shock

Also, it sounded like the whole thing had been dubbed from past episodes! Like when he said "...I expect to do a lot of thinking on this trip..." (or something like that) sounded like from the volume when he went to California w/ Bernard! Shock

Anyone else have an opinion on my theory or non-theory?

It's unfortunately a well-established fact that Plan B, Exit and other recent episodes including Eugene were created by cutting lines from other episodes, as Will Ryan, the actor who played Eugene, has been away from the show for quite some time now.

Oh, I thought you were trying to insult a fat person backing up when I saw the title.

As for the beeps, I didn't notice because my radio station didn't air Exit! They messed up and aired some other episode instead, I was SO upset.

I've only ever heard Exit in the version that OdysseyFan posted, and that was so staticy I never noticed any beeping. Neutral

Uh, why come up with theories? We have an established fact answer. Yes, OF COURSE the lines were cut from old episodes and used. And apparently, one of the scenes used had some sort of beeping in the background and they didn't have audio of the lines without that mix.

Well, Jared, keep in mind they could have edited that out....

Not necessarily. Any editing out would have made for tonal difference and chopiness, which would be far worse. And any time he was speaknig OVER the beep, it would be impossible to edit it out.

It's funny you bring up the beeping... it's been a while, but I'm 90% positive the beeping is the morse code of S-O-S. Meaning, Eugene is in big trouble :)

Hmmm...interesting. A way for continuation of Novacom saga, maybe? Smile
