A better example can be found in Breaking Bad episode 209.

gosh do we need a permit to launch a satellite? This is getting complicated ...

Just learn to run faster than the bear.

I doubt the government required permits for satellite launches in the 1400’s - should be good to go there

no problem ... feed the bear the fermented apples. A drunk bear doesn't run very fast.

Don’t give politicians any ideas. Corn in gasoline has already driven up meat prices. Apples and potatoes for electricity will drive the price of fruit and vegetables up.

Thanks don’t want to pack more than is necessary.

I am reminded of that Breaking Bad episode in which Walter and Jesse spend a frantic weekend out in the desert cooking up a mega batch of meth only to find the RV's battery dead when they're ready to return, Jesse having left the key in the ignition. Their generator blows up when they try to use it jump the engine. Their phones don't work. Ultimately, they end up improvising a battery, which they use to start the engine.

No problem, take a solar powered phone charger, should be good for a couple of decades.

You could entertain the 14th century folks with endless hours of cat videos.
