Me: ' What about this? Feel this, come on, just feel it? ' I am gesturing

Me: Not even meekly: ' Are you SURE? '
Mr. Curry: ' I'm sure. Can I unpause the show now? '
Me: ' K. '
Mr. Curry: After a brief interval. ' I think House would be perfect for you. You

Me: ' I already KNOW all my problems. You diagnosed me. '
Mr. Curry: ' I did? '
Me: ' Yeah, I'm nutters. Can you be quiet so we can watch this seizure? '
