[ WP ] The date is July 13 , 1836 . You 're the clerk at the front desk of the U.S. Patent Office on opening day . Things are going just fine until a number of strangely-dressed people get into an argument about their placement in line . Coincidentally , they 're all trying to patent methods of time travel .

Finding it hard to believe, I asked them to wait while I got my manager. As moved through the back room I remembered Tris was getting tea for us all to celebrate our first day as employees. 
 
 I headed back to the front resigned to deny them for the moment and for them to come back later. While the importance of my job had been underscored, I did n't really care about the process being fair. For all I cared any of them could be awarded the patent. 
 
 It would n't matter anyway, I thought, because none of them are even lucid. I crossed through the doorframe and cupped my hands to my mouth. 
 
 `` Come back tomorrow at the same time and we will sort out who can get in line first.'' I said hoping I would n't have to physically remove them. They left without incident.
