Wendy:
Get a lot written today?

Jack:
Yes.

Wendy:
Hey! Weather forecast said it's gonna snow tonight!

Jack:
What do you want me to do about it?

Wendy:
Aw, come on, hun. Don't be so grouchy.

Jack:
I'm not being grouchy. I just want to finish my work.

Wendy:
Okay, I understand. I'll come back later on with a couple of sandwiches for ya, and maybe you'll let me read something then.

Jack:
Wendy, let me explain something to you. Whenever you come in here and interrupt me, you're breaking my concentration. You're distracting me! [he hits his head with the palm of his hand, rips up his manuscript, and throws it onto the floor] And it will then take me time to get back to where I was! Understand?!

Wendy:
Yeah.

Jack:
Fine. I'm gonna make a new rule: whenever I'm in here, and you hear me typing,[presses down hard on random keys] whether you don't hear me typing, whatever the f*** you hear me doing in here, when I'm in here, that means that I am working. That means don't come in. Now, do you think you can handle that?

Wendy:
Yeah.

Jack:
Fine. Why don't you start right now and get the f*** outta here, hm?

Wendy:
Okay.
