[Leans over to look at Bret's cup] What's that?
It's a cup.
What, a new cup?
Yeah. I got a new cup. Do you like it?
We've got a cup.
I know, we've got one cup. We needed two cups.
Why would we need two cups?
So I can have a cup of tea at the same time as you.
Bret, do you even pay any attention to the cup roster?
Your cup roster? That means I can't drink a cup of tea between seven and nine P.M.
Well, I have it until nine o'clock and then you get it for two hours. Then I use it from eleven 'till one... Then you use it from one 'till three—
I know, but I have to wait until one if I want another cup.
...And then we give the cup a rest.
...It was only $2.79.
$2.79?
Yeah, I thought that was quite good.
[sighs] Okay, well, I just need a second to calm down.
...Well that's alright, isn't it?
I suppose...
[One Month Later]
Bret... Bret!
[playing guitar] Uh-huh?
Our check for the phone bill bounced. Says here, in our bank statement, that our account was short... By $2... and 79 cents... How much was that cup again?
2.79.
[smugly] Oh? That's quite interesting, isn't it? ...Well, because our check bounced we got charged a $30 overdraft fee. Which made our gas bill bounce.
Yep, that's boring, man.
Yes, but the point is because of your $2.79 spending spree, we now owe $60, and our phone and gas are gonna be cut off.
[sarcastically] Interesting.
[All of the lights go out]
Ah. We got a letter from the electricity company.
What did it say...?
...I didn't read it.
