Editing Talk:734: Outbreak

A romantic comedy in which the couple tries to hide evidence of the battered corpse while making out. Would pay to watch.

:# Cueball and Megan are acting in a movie.
:# In the transcript, Randall specifically names them as Cueball and Megan. :-) [[User:Saibot84|Saibot84]] ([[User talk:Saibot84|talk]]) 02:38, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

::: Note that "Cueball" and "Megan" are merely the ''Explain xkcd'' names. [http://xkcd.com/734/info.0.json The official transcript] refers to them only as "Man" and "Woman". (Anon) 13 August 2013 {{unsigned ip|24.142.134.100}}

::::Randall did also use the name ''Megan'', while ''Cueball'' is just an invention by interpreters not only here. The names "Ryan and Laura" are just characters in a movie.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 07:33, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

I love how Ryan is covering his face when he holds the door open. [[Special:Contributions/76.106.251.87|76.106.251.87]] 23:27, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
:I saw it as trying to plug his ear.  Shotguns are loud, especially indoors.[[User:Tryc|Tryc]] ([[User talk:Tryc|talk]]) 14:24, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

I've always considered this a bait and switch. Men would take their reluctant girlfriends on movie dates, somehow manage to get a movie they wanted, and soon find they were had. It is ever so much sweeter this way. Black Hat Productions, in collaboration with Danish Movies, should make this. Anonymous 03:00, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

The patient might overwhelm the man and escape before the woman returns. X-7 might still be communicable after death. Errors. {{unsigned ip|108.162.250.155}}
:Honestly, what better plan was there? The door didn't have a lock (for whatever reason), and most people (or at least most scientists) don't usually keep a gun in their truck, much less in the lab itself. Also, the title text takes care of the toxin issue. Presumably, they'll follow proper protocols when destroying the body as well. And disinfecting Laura. Shotguns spray.

This explanation desperately needs some cleanup. It's currently shockingly short, and gives almost no explanation of anything. [[Special:Contributions/199.27.133.50|199.27.133.50]] 21:57, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Question: Are there any reason for the names Laura and Ryan, like are they used in a zombie movie of outbreak style movie? Or are they just randomly chosen so they can be introduced in the film? --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 10:50, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

-The whole idea from thi comic really looks like something Russian filmmakers would try to spend state issued budget on
-Isn't Patient 0 from Among Us?[[User:Z1mp0st0rz|Z1mp0st0rz]] ([[User talk:Z1mp0st0rz|talk]]) 15:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
-:The "Patient 0" from Among Us is (I would presume, not having see it) from the pre-existing and longstanding general concept of "Patient 0" (or, better, "{{w|Index case}}" in epidemiology/etc.
-:Regardless, this comic is from 2010. Years ahead of the game, or the subsequent manga/animation adaptations, if that's what you're thinking of. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.85.239|172.70.85.239]] 16:35, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
