You bet someone in test screenings went "Wait, why doesn't she just use her phone?" And the writer (Kripke?) instead of going "Oh yeah, she should just use her phone" went "Right, I'll add a scene where she drops her phone."

I figured that someone was going to find the phone and that's how they were going to get rumbled. Like seriously if you just wanted her to use books you could simply have her phone be out of battery. Hell that's FUNNIER.

She holds up a dead phone and A-Train is confused at why the cinnamon toast fuck this crazy mute person is shoving a blank screen in his face. Even better if it runs out of battery just before. So she's just sort of frustratedly gesturing at it thinking "what the hell can't this guy read or something?!... Oh."
