*The tv is flashing...it's hard to see the screen however, because the couch is in the way. However...obviously someone is playing a game.*

John: Dang...this game is hard...

Brent: Boohoo

John: Shhshh...i'm busy.

Brent: Riiighhht..let me see...you're busy being umm...lazy...yes that's it..amazing.

*Brent looks over at the Fritos*

Brent: Pass me the chips man...

John: I'm sorry..say what? Did you say, pass the chips? *pauses game* they're right next to you, Cheeko...and you said I was lazy.

*There is silence for a moment*

Brent: Did I mention you're ugly too?
