• Louise : Weren't you watching?

  Janet : Of course, I was watching upstairs on the television until the damn picture went out.

  Louise : Janet, when are you going to join the rest of us in the 20th century and get cable? The picture is so much better. Plus, you get HBO and everything. It would really improve the quality of your life.

• Abel, the Cable Guy : [the TV goes out at a crucial point in her soaps, so she calls the repairman]  Hi. I'm Abel, with the cable.

  Janet : [almost overwhelmed by his studliness]  I'm sure you are. Ah-hah. I mean, Hi! Come in. I'm glad you're here, 'cause "Tomorrow" starts in an hour.

  Abel, the Cable Guy : What?

  Janet : My story... "There's Always Tomorrow". It's a soap opera.

  Abel, the Cable Guy : [seeming to pick up on her attraction to him, he delivers seductively]  So where do you want it?

  Janet : Huh?

  Abel, the Cable Guy : Your box.

  Janet : Excuse me?

  Abel, the Cable Guy : The cable box. Where do you want it?

  Janet : Well, I need it more than once. I mean, I need it in different rooms. I mean, can you do it in the bedroom, too?

  Abel, the Cable Guy : No problem.

  Janet : Great. Heh. Great. Ehhh, will it take long?

  Abel, the Cable Guy : Nah. I run a line in from the street, do the first installation, bing, bang, boom. The second one usually takes longer. But it's more fun, if you know what I mean.

  Janet : Uh-huh.

  Abel, the Cable Guy : [he picks up two ends of cable]  Now. Male... into female.

  Janet : Input...

  Abel, the Cable Guy : Output. Finished. You're all hooked up.

  Janet : Y'got... quite a tool there. It's huge.

  Abel, the Cable Guy : It's not the size of the tool, ma'am. It's how you use it.

  Janet : You certainly know how to use it. How many installations have you done in one day?

  Abel, the Cable Guy : Fifteen. My Phillips did so much screwing, I thought the tip would fall off.

  Janet : [in a whisper]  Oh, God.
