Ben:
Hey, Dad.

Dr. Katz:
Oh, Ben, I'm glad you called, I wanted to remind you to return that thing you bought at the hardware store.

Ben:
The - The nailgun.

Dr. Katz:
Yeah.

Ben:
Yeah. Actually, I'm at the hardware store...

Dr. Katz:
Oh, great, thank you so much for taking care of that, 'cause while I was annoyed, I knew it could be easily resolved.

Ben:
Well, it was a little too expensive, and I, you know, maybe I got carried away. There's a slight problem...

Dr. Katz:
Okay.

Ben:
Yeah. Well, they, they, uh, they won't... take it back.

Dr. Katz:
Why won't they take it back?

Ben:
He said, uh, it's messed up.

Dr. Katz:
How could it be messed up? It's in the box.

Ben:
It *is* in the box.

Dr. Katz:
Yeah. So what is the problem?

Ben:
Well, last night...

Dr. Katz:
Mm-hmm.

Ben:
...and this morning... and this afternoon, I took it out of the box. And I might've used it, just to see if it worked.

Dr. Katz:
You don't remember - You don't remember me saying anything about that, do you, last night?

Ben:
You said "Don't use it."

Dr. Katz:
Right.

Ben:
Uh-huh.

Dr. Katz:
Why - Why would you do a thing like that?

Ben:
What do you mean, use it?

Dr. Katz:
Yeah.

Ben:
Fun.
