Russell: Hey Dave. How was your weekend?
Dave: Not bad. I went downtown to watch a flick with my roommate.
Russell: How was it?
Dave: Oh, the movie was awesome; the company wasn't.
Russell: What do you mean?
Dave: Well, I liked the movie, but my roommate is a real airhead. [Ugh] We started talking about this and that, and he thought the Titanic was some boat the Japanese sank during World War II.
Russell: Oh, oh. Whoa. Not a very bright guy.
Dave: Yeah, and he's a real couch potato. He invited me over to his parent's house to watch TV. Wow. I bet watching TV is his only hobby, but he sure doesn't know much.

Dave: Nah. I'm gonna hit the sack. I have a test tomorrow morning, and I wanna be ready for it.
