Margie stares at the computer screen, going over bits of her thesis proposal with much lethargy. The phone rings. Margie picks it up.

Margie: Pubey Boy.

Pubey Boy makes a low-pitched hum.

Margie: Hello?
Pubey Boy: You know that scene in “Adaptation” where Meryl Streep and Chris Cooper are on the phone and they do that dial-tone thing?
Margie: Yes.
Pubey Boy: That scene is brilliant.
Margie: Yes. Okay. So you do the low tone while I do the high tone. Game?
Pubey Boy: Game.

Both do their respective tones. The result is shitty. They stop. They scream.

Pubey Boy: Oh gaaaaaaaaaad! Maaaaaarge!
Margie: Aaaaaah! We have no musicaliteeeeeeeeeeeee!

Silence.

Pubey Boy: How will you write your methodology?
Margie: (mumbles incoherently)...or something like that.
Pubey Boy: Bye.
Margie: Bye.

Margie returns to the computer screen.
