If they had cell phones, they wouldn't be in this mess. Then I started thinking about other episodes, and cell phones would have made such a HUGE difference in so many episodes! Think about it, the Chinese restaurant, the parking lot, the bakery/liquor store, the drive to the cabin, etc.

Think about it, the Chinese restaurant, the parking lot, the bakery/liquor store, the drive to the cabin, etc. It would have still worked. I could see George's cheapness and not wanting to use up minutes excusing some situations. "We're roaming, Susan. I'm not putting my phone on. He'll catch up"
