Kyon: Mrs. Kim does not want me to watch the television!
Lane: And how would she know?
Kyon: Because, there's a little machine in the television set that will tell her what I watch!
Lane: Ha!
Kyon: What ha?
Lane: That machine does not exist.
Kyon: It does not?
Lane: Nope. It took me fifteen years to figure it out, but that's the truth.
Kyon: So she cannot know?
Lane: She also cannot smell fast food on you even after you've showered.
