Veep, Season 2
Kent:
I cook these noodles every day.
Jonah:

Kent:
They need to be heated at 800 watts for 3:35. Any more and they'll dry out, any less and they will be flaccid and damp like a lady's hair in the rain.
Amy Why are we talking about noodles?
Ben:

Kent:

[Kent snaps his fingers at the exact same moment as the microwave dings]
Ben:
