[speaker001:] Mom, can we get cable TV or a satellite dish?
[speaker002:] It costs money, dear. What 's wrong with the regular television stations?
[speaker001:] The shows are dull and they 're too many advertisements.
[speaker002:] Well, you already watch too much TV instead of doing your homework, anyway.
[speaker001:] There 're educational stations too. I could learn while I watched TV.
[speaker002:] Well, that 's true, but you 'd probably only watch cartoons and action movies.
[speaker001:] No I wouldn 't... can 't we get cable? Everybody has cable.
[speaker002:] Well, if everybody jumped off a bridge, would you jump too?
[speaker001:] Mom!!! Please. All my friends have had it for years.
[speaker002:] Get new friends.
[speaker001:] Why are you always so mean?
[speaker002:] Because you 'd end up spoiled rotten if I wasn 't.
[speaker001:] I could help pay for it.
[speaker002:] Let 's see how your grades are this semester, and maybe I 'll talk to your father about it.
[speaker001:] O. K. Thanks, Mom!
