                                   JEFF
            I just had a very disturbing experience at the movies.

                                   MIKE
            What did you see?

                                   JEFF
            "Saw 2."

                                   MIKE
            Yeah, what movies?

                                   JEFF
            No, I only saw one.

                                   MIKE
            What was it?

                                   JEFF
            "Saw 2."

                                   MIKE
            Two?

                                   JEFF
            Yep. And let me tell you, it was disturbing.

                                   MIKE
            Which movie that you saw was disturbing?

                                   JEFF
            "Saw 2."

                                   MIKE
            I know that...

                                   JEFF
            Then why did you ask me which one was disturbing?

                                   MIKE
            Because you didn't tell me what you saw.

                                   JEFF
            "Saw 2." 

                                   MIKE
            I know! Two! We've established that.

                                   JEFF
            And we've established it was very disturbing.

                                   MIKE
            WHICH ONE?

                                   JEFF
            Which one what?

                                   MIKE
            "Which one what" what?

                                   JEFF
            What?

                                   MIKE
            Don't you start with me!

                                   JEFF
            Start what? I'm very disturbed right now.

                                   MIKE
            No shit. 

                                   JEFF
            Because I just saw this very disturbing movie.

                                   MIKE
            Yes, I know you saw a disturbing movie. Which movie that you
            saw was disturbing? Was it the first movie or the second
            movie?

                                   JEFF
            Oh, the second one. I didn't see the first one.

                                   MIKE
            You didn't see the first one?

                                   JEFF
            Nah. It didn't look very good.

                                   MIKE
            You didn't see the first movie that you just said you saw.

                                   JEFF
            I didn't see two movies. I saw "Saw 2."

                                   MIKE
            Saw saw? Do you have a stuttering problem?

                                   JEFF
            No, no...

                                   MIKE
            THEN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???

                                   JEFF
            Why are you yelling?

                                   MIKE
            Ok, I'm going to do this very slowly and very carefully, lest
            I murder you. Did you go to the movies?

                                   JEFF
            Yes...

                                   MIKE
            What did you see?

                                   JEFF
            "Saw 2."

                                   MIKE
            And what did you see?

                                   JEFF
            "Saw 2."

                                   MIKE
            WHAT MOVIES? WHAT WERE THE NAMES OF THE MOVIES YOU SAW????

                                   JEFF
            Calm down, Mike. I keep telling you, I only saw one movie.

                                   MIKE
            One movie? You saw one movie. Even though you keep saying
            you saw 2?

                                   JEFF
            I don't keep saying it. You keep saying it.

                                   MIKE
            Jeff.

                                   JEFF
            What?

                                   MIKE
            What movie did you see?

                                   JEFF
            "Saw 2."

                                   Mike takes a deep, exasperated breath.

                                   MIKE
            I'm just...I don't...

                                   JEFF
            The name of the movie I saw was "Saw 2."

                                   MIKE
            What?

                                   JEFF
            "Saw 2." It's the sequel to "Saw."

                                   MIKE
            "Saw?" Oh, right, there was that horror movie called "Saw."

                                   JEFF
            And I saw the sequel.

                                   MIKE
            Right. I missed the first one. I'm not into horror.

                                   JEFF
            So you never saw it? Get it? Saw? Saw it?

                                   MIKE
            You don't want to do that.

                                   BLACKOUT
