Question about English (US)
I found the sentence below in a movie but it sounded old to me.
Do you use the sentence when you express that you want to go back to a certain time?
→Is there any way we could dial back to before, when we …?

Yes. But you're right, it also sounds old to me.

Usually I get the impression that this sentence would be used for people who have been in a relationship (girlfriend-boyfriend) before. He/She is basically asking if you want to get back together again.
If you want to get back together w/ him/her, say yes. If not, then no.

inkling00,
Thank you :D The situation was exactly what you thought!
Actually, my question was what you would say in that situation instead of using dial back. Just getting back together?

Sorry for the super late response! I haven't been on this website in a while.
I would say, "Is there any way we can go back to what we were before?" OR
"Is there any way we can go back to before, when we...?"
