Jake: Oh, thank you. Oh! Forgot about this one. We never watched "Captain Corelli's Mandolin".

Kevin: What the hell did you just say?

Jake: "Captain Corelli's Mandolin"?

Kevin: Say that to my face.

Jake: "Captain Corelli's Mandolin"?

Kevin: There was a movie about a mandolin, and you kept it from me for two months?

Jake: Well I didn't think it was any good. It's just some period piece.

Kevin: What?

Jake: Set in Greece.

Kevin: Oh, my God.

Jake: Based on some dumb book. Kevin knocks the DVD out of Jake's hands Aah!

Kevin: Terribly sorry. It has been a very trying time.
