Dialogue:

Brenda: Well, what's on?

Brenda: Well, hmm. There is a reality show on at 7:00 on channel 5.

Paul: Nah, you know I don't like reality shows. I mean, they usually show people doing crazy things like, you know, eating live fish or swimming in a pool full of snakes. I don't get into that.

Brenda: Okay. Well, how about watching a documentary on the life of panda bears in the wild?

Paul: Personally, I'd rather watch something with a little bit more action and suspense.

Brenda: Well, then. Ah, here's something. Do you want to watch a rerun of Star Wars?

Paul: Nah, I've seen it a zillion times. I'd like to see something different.

Brenda: Okay, let's see here. Oh, how about this? On channel 2 at 9:00, there's a home improvement show about fixing anything around the house. We do have a few things that you could repair in the bathroom ...

Paul: Fixing things? Uh, boy, I'm beat. I think I'm going to hit the sack.

Brenda: You're going to bed?

Paul: Yeah. I have to get up early tomorrow ...

Brenda: ... and then you're going to fix the bathroom?

Paul: Good night.

Brenda: Okay. Too bad, though. There's a basketball game on right now, but ... but I guess you can catch the score in tomorrow's newspaper.

Paul: Oh, okay. I'll stay up and keep you company while I ... I mean, you ... I mean, WE watch the game.

Brenda: I thought you'd change your mind. I'll get the popcorn.
