Jake's sister, TooTall, and her husband, Vroooooom, were getting ready to take Jake out to dinner for her birthday. (Yes, send a card. ) Jake remarked on how freakin' freezing it's been the past few mornings, and how she uses Asimovian as a timer for the heater. ("It's cooooold... go turn on the heeeeeater... then the shooooower... then come back to bed so I can put my cold feeeeeeet on you!")
And now, back to our program already in progress:
TooTall: Well, you could get a thermostat with a timer on it.
Jake: Well, we rent, and it seems awfully complicated.
TooTall: No, it's actually really, really, REALLY easy. I mean, Vrooooom put ours in...
Vroooooom: I'm starting to feel a little insulted here.
TooTall: But, you put it in and it works great.
Vroooooom: You're not making it any better.
TooTall: But what I'm trying to say is...
Vroooooom: Nope, still feeling insulted....
TooTall: [to Jake] He could HELP YOU. He could help you install it is what I'm TRYING to say!
Vroooooom: Uh, no.
Jake: Uh, hey... how's about some dinner?
No marriages were harmed in the making of this scene.

No marriages? Really? No one seemed to think *I* could do it...
