Me:

Lady:

Her:
No.

Me:

Her:
No. I don't.

Me:

Her:
No. I don't care.
-
Me:
Okay, watch this. [Goes through the guide up to the 400s where the HD is.] Okay, are you watching?
-
Her:
[Not watching. Playing with the dog and laughing because he did something cute.]
-
Me:
Okay, are you watching? [Swaps channels, engulfed in a glorious wave of fidelitous sound and image.]
-
Her:

Me:
You see that?
-
Her:

-
Me:

-
Her:

-
Me:

Her:
[Laughs at the stupid dog.]
