Beverly: Surprise! I bought you Apple's first portable computer.
Adam: Portable? That looks huge.
Beverly: Oh, it's only 16 barely-back-breaking pounds. You can take it anywhere as long as you stretch first.
Adam: And isn't that incredibly expensive?
Beverly: Big time, but with this, you'll open doors to your imagination. PC World called it, "Powerful and cumbersome."
Adam: I think I'm all set.
Beverly: Nonsense. You need to get back to your real passion... writing. Let me just turn this on for you. [computer chirps, whirs] Ah, listen to all that metal working.
Adam: Yeah, I'm just not really feeling the juices flowing today, so...
Beverly: Then let Mama be your muse. Drink me in and then write about the white-hot love I bring out in you.
Adam: You certainly elicit a response.
Beverly: Then put me in a script. You could pen the sequel to Throw Momma from the Train. Only this time, keep her on the train.
Adam: What a fun idea. You start hacking away at that, while I run upstairs and put the finishing touches on giving up. [exits]
Beverly: Schmoo, come back! This thing can go anywhere. [picks up PC; groans] Oh.
